🍯 prefer to read on ao3? 🍯
Ford doesn’t know how long he’s been down in his lab with his research, but he does know that when he hears the familiar creak of the elevator coming down that it’s probably been too long. You’ve been a good wife, a dutiful wife— it’s only natural that you would come down to check on him. And it was only natural that Ford would try to protest your presence, tilting his head over his shoulder as you approached him with a frown on your pretty face.
“I’m sorry, my dear. I’ll head to bed soon.” You both know that his words are a lie, even if he doesn’t mean them to be. Because Ford’s work means everything to him, it also means that there’s no rest for the wicked. With the wicked in this case being a sleep-deprived scientist. That fact doesn’t stop him from turning his chair to face you, outstretching his arms to pull you closer for a gentle peck on the lips— it’s his form of an apology, it’s his way of trying to earn forgiveness for neglecting his sleep. “Don’t wait on me, please. You look tired.”
He’s exhausted, but he knows that he needs to piece the rest of this project together. It will gnaw at him and leave him restless if he leaves it alone. You smile knowingly as your husband’s hands brush against your skin, warm and calloused as his thumbs rub circles against your wrists as he gently pulls you closer. Your form happily leans into the man, a mischievous thought forming in your head. If he won’t come to bed with the temptation of your presence alone, why not provide further incentive?
“And you look stressed,” You hum, your hands gliding across his skin to settle onto his shoulders. You lean in closer, your familiar floral scent mixed with baking that always smelled so divine to Ford enveloping him. His head falls into your body and he breathes you in deeply, the man’s hands cupping your back to pull you in closer. He was always so busy tinkering or researching, as he always had done. It was hard to break habits that he’d kept up for almost forty years, but being reunited with his wife made him remember just how many physical sensations he’d let himself forget.
The perfume that clings to your clothes make his head feel dizzy, and his fingers grip into your soft cardigan wrapping around your frame. He feels a little pathetic as he realises that something as little as just your presence causes arousal to fill him. Ford had missed his wife so dearly, and while the emotional side of things had been difficult to confront and talk about, he knew the two of you had managed to rediscover your comfort around each other… Though the intimacy side of things was a little more strained, and while you both definitely felt the absence of one another, it was hard to just pick up where you left off after thirty years.
With a sigh, Ford lifts his head to look up at you, eyes slightly pleading. Your breath hitches in your throat as you notice that he wants you just as much as you want him. Your hands move from his shoulders up to his neck, before gently cupping his face and leaning in for a feather-light kiss. The motion was shy, because you felt shy; you had spent most of your life believing you knew this man intricately, but so many decades apart had made you foreign to each other. You knew that you had to make the first move, to know him again.
As you both separate after the peck, your breaths mingle in the small space between you. You can see a shy smile tugging at the man’s lips as he peers up at you, his brown eyes warm with affection. The sight is enough to make you smile back, your heart warming in your chest as he leans forward. Ford feels a little bolder, if only for a moment, pressing his lips gently against yours.
It’s longer and deeper than the small kiss that you had just shared. His lips are rough against yours, but you find yourself enjoying the sensation as your fingertips move up, gently digging into the man’s hair. A pleased groan rumbles from his chest, a sound that is muffled but still makes his face flush with embarrassment as his tongue carefully slips past your lips.
It’s been years since he’s been physical with anyone, of course the action will feel clumsy and awkward— of course his heart is going to thunder in his chest the way that it is now. It doesn’t make him any less embarrassed by how weak in the knees you make him now, though. These facts also don’t let him embrace his desperation with grace, nor do they let him embrace the way that his fingers rub against the fabric of your cardigan and move down without a little bit of shame.
Not because of you, of course, but because of himself. He doesn’t want to be selfish and needy, but it’s exactly what he is now as his hands trail from your sides to the backs of your legs, silent encouragement for you to rest yourself on his lap. You happily comply, straddling one of his legs as he pulls away from your intoxicating lips for air, only just noticing the burn in his lungs.
“I missed you.” He mumbles, his voice sincere as he navigates his hands away from the backs of your legs, closer to the hem of your skirt. Ford just wants to take care of you, maybe in his own selfish way, in an attempt to ignore his want. You deserve better than what he wants to provide now. It’s only natural that his hands wander the hem of your skirt, eager to pull down the fabric until your delicate hand wraps around his wrist.
Your face is flushed red, and the sight of this makes his insides turn to jelly. Your hair, which had been pulled back into a slick bun, had begun to unwind with bits of loose hair falling around the side of your face. Ford always believed you looked beautiful, but there was something radiant about you right now— The usually hard shell of a woman who always strived to remain professional and predominantly focused on your work coming undone made him feel very hot under the collar. Your work ethic is what had made him fall for you, after all.
His admiration of you flew from his mind as your grip on his wrist grew tighter, the desire on your face evident. The man wanted so badly to please you, and he felt a thrill travel up his spine and groin as you took his hand and pulled it under your skirt, pressing it against your panties.
Ford could feel your want soaking through them.
“You’re… You’re so…” His throat felt tight, his skin burning with both need and bashfulness.
“Wet?” You finished for him, a sly smile plastering your face. “That’s just simple biology not letting me keep any secrets about how much I want you.”
Oh God, he loved you so much. Ford needs you closer, to kiss your glorious lips and show you how much he wanted you, too. This time wasn’t about him and he would make it his mission to do anything you wanted. His hand rubs along your labia, before pausing to swirl around your swollen clit.
You gasp loudly, jerking forward and clamping your fingers tightly onto his shoulders. Ford glances up at you through long, dark eyelashes, one side of his mouth quirked up into a little smirk. You had always found that look so infuriating when the two of you had been academic rivals, though now it shot fluttery shockwaves through your body like little electric butterflies.
A whimper escapes you as you pull yourself closer towards him, the warmth from your drenched panties and body seeping into him. Your breasts pressing against his chest make him lightheaded, despite the fact you were still fully clothed. God, he really needed to get laid.
He almost feels lamentable, like he’s some teenage virgin in his first relationship. It’s almost like he’s about to melt into the damn chair he’s sitting on now, with the way you pull yourself to him, your fingers digging harshly into the sleeves of his sweater, grasping onto his shoulders as though he’s the only thing keeping you tethered to reality. Your reactions are encouragement that push past his nerves, allowing him to focus on the task at hand: getting his wife to cum so damn hard that you would see stars.
His fingers move methodically as he does his best to recall the way that you used to like him touching you; each former whisper of praise and gratitude that slipped your lips all those years ago came back into his mind like muscle memory, encouraging him to continue rubbing your clit in fast little circles. Ford can’t help but think that he could die happy, with you writhing in his lap when you give a breathy gasp, leaning your head into the crook of the man’s neck before bucking your hips into his moving hand.
“Sweet Moses, you’re divine,” He breathes out softly to you, the praise instinctively slipping from his lips. And then he’s leaning his own head so he can rest it against your shoulder. The sweet smell of vanilla invades his senses in a way that makes his head swim. He can’t see it, but you’re grinning as you rock your hips against his fingers, a slow and deliberate action that earns a soft groan from the man. “You’re going to be the death of me, sweetheart.”
You giggle at that, the sound of a torturous melody that he wanted to hear forever. Ford isn’t given long to relish in the sound, however, because you continue to rock your hips, beginning to build up a steady pace. He can feel your legs clench around his own, your grip on him tight as you grind your hips on his leg and fingers. It’s filthy, and he craves more of it. He wants to see you come undone, he wants to make you scream with delight.
So he keeps up his rhythm, not minding the tightness beginning to fill his slacks as he lifts his head to cup your cheek with his free hand. Tilting your head so you’re facing him, Ford presses his lips against your own in another kiss. This time, he’s far less gentle. This time, he allows his yearning to show through his actions in the way that they can’t through his words. Ford revels in the way that you whimper and jerk your hips harder into his fingers and lap, the actions of your excitement only encouraging the man to playfully nip at your lip.
Between Ford’s expert fingers moving against your clit, pressing against the bud with just enough pressure to make you want to melt in his arms and the stimulation of your pussy rubbing against his leg as you filthily grind on his thigh, you’re certain that this is the closest you’ll ever get to heaven in his arms.
You’re eager to return the kiss, an excited noise rising from the back of your throat as Ford’s teeth graze against your bottom lip. You know that you aren’t going to last much longer on his lap, grinding your hips like this while Ford dutifully rubs your clit, not letting up with the stimulation that sends shivers across your skin.
You can feel the pressure rising within you, deep in your pelvis as your legs begin to shake around Ford’s thigh. One hand continues to dig into his skin, your nails embedding deeply into his red sweater as your breathing becomes spasmodic and heavy, the other gripping the back of his hair as your grinding increases in fervour. Your lip is clamped between your teeth and Ford is so enraptured in watching your face, your eyes clouded with desire, that he isn’t prepared for when you come completely undone.
Your jaw drops open and you throw your head back, a guttural groan coming from deep in your throat as you jerk your hips roughly once more and your weight falls back. Ford catches you by wrapping his arms behind your back and pulling you towards him again, another hot kiss searing your skin as he begins to plant soft smooches along your jaw plastered with praise, “You did so well, dear. So beautiful, so perfect.” The man coos, one hand raising to gently brush your cheek.
He would curse himself for not letting your reunion happen earlier, what with everything going on with Bill’s plan and endless research, but he was so glad that this had happened the way it had. You seem to think similarly, because you smile sweetly up at him and nuzzle into his neck for a few moments before clambering off his lap.
Your expression turns playful as you look down at his thigh, your smile sheepish. “Let’s get you cleaned up.” Ford could honestly stay in these clothes forever marred as they were, the filthy man he is, but he nods in agreement. With a quiet grunt, he begins to climb onto his feet before he feels your hands push him back into the chair, eyebrow raised. “No, no,” You grin devilishly, “Let me take those off for you.”
Ford lifts both of his eyebrows as he peers up at you, his face growing warm at the devilish expression on your face. He can’t help but grin and nod his head at the sight. “Whatever you wish, my dearest.”
While you both may still have some emotional awkwardness to confront in the future, you didn’t think your physical intimacy would be an issue any longer.

In Love. Actually.
❀ Back to Navigation ❀
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of these characters, they belong to Kohei Horikoshi
MHA Masterlist - Main Masterlist
WARNINGS: Fluff, Spoilers for the movie Love, Actually.
Request by @luluwiie: how about Y/N helping Shouto (deliberately or not) to discover Christmas magic, and for the first time enjoy some good moments during Christmas time ? As they're still only-close-friends-but-secretely-pining-on-each-other, you know *^* Cause Pining. I love pining. Secret crush FTW
A/N: Oh we're so back. Thank you so much for the request @luluwiie you are the absolute best. I'm so serious about that, you never fail to have the loveliest requests and sweetest words. Happy holidays to everyone who celebrates, and enjoy!!!
Word Count: 1.8K
There seemed to be some kind of energy in the air – one that seemed to have wired every single one of Shouto Todoroki’s classmates into becoming a strangely more happy version of themselves. That was, of course, not to say that his classmates weren’t usually happy, they absolutely were, but during this time of year it was next level.
Taking in the scene before him, all he could really do was people-watch. Iida, if one could believe, was almost relaxed – leaning back in one of the chairs in the dorm living room and reading a book with a calm smile. A group of some of the girls, including Yaoyorozu, Jirou, and Uraraka, were trying their best to construct gingerbread houses. Even with the extra bags of icing Yaoyorozu created with her quirk, the walls kept falling down. But, even with each collapse of the houses, the girls just smiled, shook their heads, and tried again. Even Bakugou, against all odds, almost had a twitch of a genuine smile on his face as he bounced around the kitchen baking cookies, marinating several dishes for the night’s dinner, and prepping produce for the following morning.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out why. It was what many, if not most, called the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas. Well, to be more specific, Christmas Eve.
“You plan on joining in?” A soft voice sounded next to him. He smiled a bit and turned towards it.
“I’m not so sure.”
“Why’s that?”
“Christmas was never a particularly happy time for me.” Shouto wished he hadn’t really said it like that, because when he did, he had to watch your smile dim. His closest friend since the beginning, the first one he made, was you. You, with your pretty Y/E/C eyes and
“Ah.” You say. “I understand.”
“That’s not to say that you shouldn’t enjoy it. I’m just more at ease looking at all of this from afar.”
“Nah, it’s no fun if not everyone’s having fun. Especially if you, my closest friend, isn’t.” Shouto watch you brush a stray cookie crumb from the alpine sweater you were wearing.
“Baking cookies with Bakugou?” He asked. You snorted and bumped his hip with your own.
“More like stealing away with some of them. He makes a mean snickerdoodle.” Shouto hummed and turned back to his classmates, watching them make merry. He never felt so out of place.
“I may just head back to my dorm, catch up on some things.”
“We’re on break from school, Shouto.” You deadpan. “C’mon. Let’s do something else.”
“I don’t want to pull you away from anything,” he begins.
“You’re not pulling me away. In fact, I think I have a more fun idea in mind. Let’s go back to mine.”
“Just to recap,” Shouto says, sitting criss-crossed on your bead, “you want to checklist your way to making new holiday memories? So that I can enjoy Christmas?”
“Exactly!” You say, pointing towards him with the aforementioned list. “I’m telling you, I think you’ll find at least one of these things fun.” Shouto considered the list before him for a moment. Things like ice-skating, movie marathons, and gift shopping were all included.
“And you’ll do these things with me?” He asked, confirming that he wouldn’t be facing such activities by himself.
“Of course.”
“Then I’m sure everything will be fun.” It almost looked like a flicker of a blush danced on your cheeks, but he must have just been seeing things.
“Alright. Where do you want to start?”
“Well,” he considered, looking outside of his window. The sun had already set and a fair amount of snow was piling up on the ground outside, “seeing as many of our options involve going into the city, which isn’t entirely safe right now, we should probably settle on something a bit more tame.” You jumped to sit next to him on your bed, your hands going to the windowsill.
“Damn,” you say, shooting him a somewhat embarrassed look. Shouto couldn’t help but smile. He loved whenever you had that look on your face. Your nose scrunched a bit and your hands went to your cheeks.
“I’m happy with a movie,” he suggests, taking one of your hands from your cheeks. You pause for a moment, waiting for your breathing to get even after his actions, and then settle in.
“Well, it’s gotta be the perfect movie.” You think, grabbing your computer while Shouto unfurled the blanket at the bottom of your bed. “Nothing too cheesy but nothing too sad. So, probably, no Elf or It’s A Wonderful Life. Although It’s A Wonderful Life is so good.”
“Why don’t we watch it then?”
“It makes me cry. Kinda counterintuitive to me helping you make happy Christmas memories. But we’ll put it on the ‘to watch’ list.”
“And Elf is cheesy?”
“Kinda,” you admit, staring at the blinking line in your search bar. “Although it’s funny.”
“So you want something funny… and heartfelt… and something that helps with the idea of Christmas?”
“That’s it!” You exclaim, your fingers flying across the keys. You pull up a movie and sit back in your pillows with a satisfied smile, waiting for Shouto’s reaction.
“Love Actually?” He says, looking closely at the movie cover. “It doesn’t really sound like a Christmas movie.
“Trust me,” you say, putting a hand on his shoulder, “it is. The best.”
“I always trust you,” he says, giving you another one of those heart bursting smiles. The kind, it seems, he saved only for you. But of course, it was probably you making it up. He was your friend, as you had stated before, your closest friend. You did not want anything to mess that up, even if you had to keep some of your feelings under lock.
“Well then,” you clear your throat, “get ready for Christmas wonder.”
As the finishing notes of God Only Knows by the Beach Boys played from the tiny speakers in your computer, you sighed happily and closed your laptop. You turned to find Shouto, searching his face for any kind of reaction.
“So, thoughts?”
“That was…” he trails off. Immediately, a sense of disappointment in yourself bloomed.
“Oh god, you didn’t like it all did you?” You fret. “It was probably too much, I’m sorry, I should’ve found something else–”
“Y/N.” Shouto says, interrupting your rambling.
“Yeah?”
“I loved it.” Where panic took hold previously, excitement sparkled in your eyes.
“Really?”
“Yeah. I mean, some parts were certainly… interesting,” he says, making you laugh, “but I thought it was really nice. But,”
“Uh-oh,”
“I don’t really understand the whole message in terms of Christmas.”
“Huh?”
“Well,” he says, shifting a bit on your bed to face you more, “I understand that it all takes place during Christmas, but it mostly centered on relationships. Both good and bad. I still can’t believe he cheated on his wife with that girl though. And she forgave him? Just like that?” You laughed and leaned into him
“Well, I don’t think that’s the whole story. And they have kids, so she was putting them first. But, more importantly, it conveys the main message of Christmas.” You say to a dumbfounded Shouto.
“And what’s that?”
“Love, of course. In every situation, love is what remains constant. For a friend, for a family member, for their significant other… love is what Christmas is all about.” Shouto felt his heart speed up as he looked at you.
“I think I may be starting to get it.” Your breathing became short as he looked at you. It was quiet, so quiet, in your dorm room.
“You are?” You whisper.
“Yeah,” he says, bringing his hands to cup your face. You were moments from closing your eyes until someone banged on your door.
“Y/N! Todoroki! You in there?” You squeezed your eyes shut and sighed.
“Yep! What’s up Mina?” Shouto smiles as your frustration becomes evident on your face.
“We’re all gathering in the common room! One last activity before we all go to bed and wake up for Christmas morning!” You glance at Shouto to see him grinning, which makes you roll your eyes in amusement.
“Okay, we’re coming!” Shouto shuffles off of the bed first, helping you to your feet as well. The two of you leave your dorm and make your way down the hallway, only to stop in the doorway as you find all of your classmates face you with smug smiles.
“Is everything okay?” Shouto asks.
“Yeah guys, what’s up with the crowd?”
“Look up!” Uraraka smiles, pointing with one of her hands to whatever was above you. A cold sense of dread courses its way through your body as what you were worried about was confirmed. A seemingly harmless sprig of mistletoe was hung delicately on above the doorway, sitting just above you and Shouto. All of your classmates laugh as they see your face, making Shouto’s twist in confusion.
“Mistletoe?”
“Yeah,” you confirm sheepishly. “It’s this Christmas tradition where two people have to kiss if they walk underneath mistletoe at the same time. We don’t have to do it. It’s stupid, really.”
“On the contrary,” Shouto says, sweeping an arm around the small of your back, making your heart jump in your chest. “I actually kind of like Christmas traditions.” Your anxious smile turns into a wide grin.
“Really?”
“Mmm.” he hums in affirmation, using his other hand to tilt your head up towards him. “In fact, I think I love Christmas traditions.” You didn’t have time to come up with a cheeky response before he pressed his lips to yours. The whoops and cheers from your classmates faded to become background music. You couldn’t help but smile into the kiss, wrapping both of your arms around the nape of his neck. You went up on your tiptoes, leaning further into him and deepening the kiss. The both of you leaned away after a few moments, laughing as the class descended into pure chaos as several other duos, including Kaminari and Jirou as well as Midoriya and Uraraka, were being pushed towards the white-berried plant. Shouto led you back down the hallway to your room's door, pressing another kiss to your lips.
“Merry Christmas, Shouto.” You smile. Opening the door as you bid him goodnight.
“Merry Christmas, Y/N.” He says. He leaves you with one more quick kiss before he says goodnight. All you could do after you closed the door was slide down it, a lovesick smile on your face. You were in love and so was he. Actually.

List of bsd headcanons
Dazai:
Has bpd. A lot of his traits remind me of my friends with it
He some kind of trans. Nonbinary. Transfem. Transmasc. Idk he's megender lmao
He's described as appearing very youthful in the first two light novels. I imagine that once the events of the main timeline start picking up though, with all the time stopping or slowing abilities that *dont affect him*, he actually ages faster than the other characters. I draw current dazai with small wrinkles, which also hints at stress and stuff
Also, I imagine current dazai getting tanner as he works in the light, as well as getting more prominent freckles.
Round/doe eyes because that is part of his appearance in my opinion. Seeming unsuspecting and innocent, especially during his mafia days
Bad eyesight in his right eye from being under the bandages for so long. Saw this headcanon and loved it
Similarly, beastzai has bad vision in general
I always call No Longer Human an anti-ability in my head, fun fact
He loves to touch other people. Not a fan of being touched by others unless asked
I draw him with red eyes in color, and usually black eyes in ink (inconsistent artstyle my beloved)
Aroace spectrum
heavy sleeper. Very
Chuuya
FRECKLES and tan from sheep days
He likes to be close to other people more than actually touching. Presence over contact
That shade of eyes that changes colors in the light (but I use a grey base lol)
Also some sort of trans, but in a different way than dazai
Brownish red hair. Not blazing, not just brown
That man is AUTISTIC
One time instinctively kicked a friend with his ability active, expecting them to dodge cuz he's used to dazai easily dodging. They did, but they were SO CLOSE to getting hit. Imagine a confused face like wtf why you try to kick me
Light sleeper, but every now and then sleeps like he just learned how to close his eyes
A lot of his jokes go over people's heads because they expect him to be serious and his voice just doesn't change between serious and not serious
Ranpo
Autism plus adhd ftw
Aroace spectrum
Poe
He/they vibes
Anxiety
Gay af
I can 100% see him being into knitting. Imagine the guide plus ranpo all in matching sweaters
Loves baking. Sooooo bad at it
Lucy
Bi (with a lean towards girlies) she/it
VERY good at baking
But she won't share :(
Atsushi
Anxiety, so much anxiety
Aroace spectrum vibes
Very easily idolizes people and then gets surprised when they actually like being around him
Akutagawa
Aroace spectrum
Autism cuz he is so mecore sometimes
Very trans vibes from me
(I like to imagine him having tourettes cuz I have tourettes and I am Not projecting)
Atsushi (special kitty hearing) and jouno being the only ones who can hear some of his tics. He will be horrified that anyone notices them
Wait no actually I'm gonna incorporate that into my belief system. That's canon now
Mori
Genuinely cares about a lot of his workers, but not all of them
He gives great bonuses for birthdays
He absolutely loves vtubers if bsd were in a modern setting. Rip mori. He'd have also loved vocaloid lmao
Ozaki
Masc energy. Fem energy. Ooh I can see ozaki with any pronouns and identity
Kinda person to accidently either overpack or underpack. Always has painkillers, never has a pen
Ridiculous memory. Incredible gift giver. Would get someone something months or years after overhearing them say they wanted something once
"Whyd you get me a hairdryer?"
"You said you needed one. I saw it and thought of you."
"...that was months ago. I got a hairdryer already."
"..." *takes hairdryer back* "sorry wrong person. I don't have my contacts in my bad"
She has perfect vision
Kunikida
Trans vibes. In any and every direction
Adhd af
Will always conveniently have room in his schedule when Aya wants to go do something and needs someone to go with her. No, he's TOTALLY not frantically writing and erasing things, get your glasses updated
You can usually count on him to continue the bit cuz he won't realize there is a bit occurring

loved your post canon regina hcs, i wonder if you have any for post canon gretchen maybe??
Post-highschool Gretchen let's go
Has absolutely NO idea what she wants to do with her life and has an existential crisis every few months until like, 30.
Ends up with a business degree solely because that's what's expected of rich failchildren.
(her friends absolutely give her shit about graduating with no debt. trust fund baby ftw)
I can imagine Gretchen as like, an event planner. She's partial to weddings. They stress her out the most but they make her the happiest when they come together.
Finally goes to therapy eventually and everything about her life makes wayyy more sense after that.
Writes on and off most of her life but never even considers trying to get published. She would have an emotional breakdown.
The kind of person who will randomly decide she's gonna get really good at baking or crocheting or playing piano or whatever else and then dedicates her entire life to it for like, a month maximum before never touching it again
Could probably go either way on kids. Babies make her anxious (as do most things)
Sometime around the mid-thirties she stops caring what people think of her and just wears the damn glasses (partially out of necessity. she's blind as hell)
Actively tries to stay fashionable, and you know what? She pulls it off
Born to be a slightly cringy middle aged woman and that is where she's her happiest. If you disagree argue with a wall <3

look at my baked goods boy
(the strawberry made them soft but damn it's tasty)
What cottagecore fantasy do you live in and how can I teleport there??? (It looks good!)
You know, strawberries were on sale today, and every single person who told me that adulthood would be boring was so wrong about everything, i have never thought in my life that something so mundane would make me so happy BUT IT DID!!! Strawberries ftw
Also i like your tea cup

Genuinely curious and not trying to cause/stir up trouble, but what makes you think Peter would be as popular as Regulus if he'd been described as thin?
So I do want to start this out by saying I don't think anyone is thinking of it in exactly those terms. Fans/Readers didn't go "Peter is fat therefore I will not like him". I am 100% not trying to accuse anyone with that opinion and this response.
Good? Good, let's start. First, a couple things to set the stage for why I think this way about Peter.
Fatphobia is one of those things that is not only everywhere in society, but it's baked into the HP books. Vernon, Dudley, and Aunt Marge are the most obvious examples of that where them being fat is directly used to describe them being bad.
Neville Longbottom is the best example of no one really caring about him when he was chubby, but once he lost weight, he was not only a minor hero at Hogwarts, but he was much more liked by the fans. I cannot tell you how many posts/jokes I saw after the last 2 movies came out talking about Neville's 'glow up' and how he 'beat puberty' by the actor looking the way he did. I don't want to claim all of that is fatphobia, but I think it was a contributing factor. In the book OotP, even though Neville is a more important character and part of Dumbledore's Army, he still didn't get the kind of attention that, say, Luna did. (quick disclaimer again that I know there are other factors going into this) Neville is described as fully coming into himself and being strong in the book DH because of everything going on at Hogwarts, and one of the details I remember being included is that he looked a lot happier. I also remember that they'd been having trouble feeding everyone in the Room of Requirement, so they mention that Neville's lost weight.
Now, the Marauders fandom in general has a long history that I don't care to really get into for this, but let's hit the high points. Originally, it was just Sirius and Remus that were cared about because they were 1. easy to ship together and 2. the only ones of the Marauders that were good and also alive. Peter was assigned asshole at first look, and with good reason! He betrayed his friends, he framed Sirius, he made it impossible for Sirius to adopt Harry, of course we all around hate him.
However, fandom has more recently changed a lot from that (recent meaning the past, oh let's say 10 years?). It's not Sirius and Remus being popular within the canon timeline, it's including James and Lily when they were actually in Hogwarts-- Marauders' Era, No Voldie AU ftw. Even more recently, this has expanded to include Regulus, but Peter is very often left out.
(quick pause again to say that I'm not blaming any fanfic writer or reader for their preferences. It's fanfic, we're all here to have fun and play in a sandbox)
Here are the few Marauder truths we know post-Hogwarts
Sirius is still very close with James, definitely his best mate, and the person he trusts the most.
Peter has become more distant in recent weeks, but was still definitely their friend
Remus was largely not involved with any of them anymore, except being a member of the Order
Based on these facts alone, it would make sense if Marauders' Era fics included Peter as much more involved and Remus more on the outskirts.
Peter wasn't secretly evil the entire time they were friends, he was scared into it during the war. I guess what this entire post boils down to, is that I think people would be far more understanding if he'd been described as 'thin with a round smile' instead of as 'chubby' in SWM.
Regulus has received 'was secretly good the entire time' treatment from the fandom-- including me, lol-- despite us knowing for a fact that he believed in what Voldemort was doing and only betraying him at the very end, when Voldemort's MO affected Regulus personally.
Putting Peter and Regulus side by side with canon info, Peter should be the more popular one, imo. He was friends with James and Sirius all throughout Hogwarts and in the years that followed. When he betrayed Lily and James in the war, he was scared. He was 20 and terrified, and I think there would be more redemption-style fics for him than Regulus.
Tl;dr This is all personal opinion and less fact based, but I think Peter would receive babygirlification from the fandom if we thought of him as attractive the way we do Regulus

hold on i'm gonna ask him that- "dad have you ever gotten jealous before?" :0 FREHFHE (wait rlly mom). i don't think that quite computes with how cyno's brain works :"D but haitham just gives me that impression!

Things that made my year better, in no particular order:
Getting a lotion wand
Neuro rehab specialist physio
Rediscovering stewed fruit
Rediscovering apple rhubarb crumble
Going back on iron tablets
Starting anti depressants
Being more open about my neurodivergence and EDS
Letting myself be silly goofy (aka unmask a bit) around friends more
Cultivating a little garden
Trying more soup recipes
Travel (I love vaccine technology! Did me an absolute solid)
Having a really good sleep hygiene routine
Hydrotherapy friends
Trying some new hobbies
Making time for the library
Baking more (box mix ftw) and sharing with friends
Making my hair purple (feat. my siblings being good at hair)
It’s not been an easy year by any means. Thesis writing, an intensive, fieldwork. A major health relapse in the middle of the year. Expected and unexpected family losses. Grief. Rough times for friends. But it’s also been a good year. May next year also bring good things.
#the ups and downs of chronic illness#chronic illness#gastrointestinal fuckery#hypermobile ehlers danlos#fieldwork ‘24#a retrospective#I get maudlin at this time of year#but it’s good to think that so many things this year made the year better#my loose goals for myself next year is to try make it to more local theatre/ local music#and to try more new recipes

Banana Pudding, Funnel cake, Mooncake, and Oreo for Bob? :D
Banana Pudding: This is a good question! Since he just owns the burger joint I wouldnt be too worried about making him lunch since he's around food, but I'd definitely bake him something sweet as a little snack :>
Funnel Cake: I feel like Bob isn't the best at making baked goods but if he was visiting me, I would let him get me doughnuts or timbits from Tim Hortons, or those delicious long john donuts <3 If its take out dinner I'd love to try sushi with him someday
Oreo: Jokes! If its anything he wants to share its definitely his really silly "dad jokes". Besides humour he loves to let me borrow his CDs and records of his favourite music. He's much more tasteful when it comes to music and I love hearing his music he enjoys. Donna Summer ftw :>

Let me preface this by saying things got wildly out of hand. I am so so so so sorry. I have a lot of feelings and I’ve seen way too many musicals. Do not even remotely feel obligated to read this veritable novel.
Under a cut to protect the innocent from the wall of text below.
Apologies if some of the YouTube links start in the middle. I was trying to make sure they were the right ones and idk if I have it in me to go back and fix the links to get them to start at the beginning. ಥ_ಥ
Anastasia - Gotta second this! It deviates from the cartoon movie (no Rasputin), but is still SO GOOD. This scene will FOREVER HAUNT ME. In addition to others! And it has Ramin Karimloo (my fave Phantom) in the OG cast. Amnesiac orphan Anastasia unknowingly agrees to pretend to be herself to help a pair of con men swindle her only remaining family member. Feelings are caught and secrets come out.
Bat Boy - A friend introduced me to this one and I thought she was kidding but oh my god I love it. I’ve never seen it BUT OH MY GOD IT’S ON YOUTUBE AND I’M DEFINITELY GONNA SOON! Tells the story of a vampire boy trying to be human.
Pierre Natasha and the Great Comet of 1812 - Omggg this is on YouTube too?! Sorry I am just ECSTATIC. Based on a portion of War & Peace. OG MC is Josh Groban and he kills it. Saw a local production and was completely blown away. OG MC for Natasha is same for Eliza in Hamilton. Sweet, funny, and has a lot of heart.
Epic the Musical - This is a concept album only but oh my god it is SO GOOD. Highly highly highly recommend!!! There are a ton of really cool animatics out there for it too. Follows the plot of the Odyssey. Completely sing through and a WIP tho a lot’s done already. Truly stunning music.
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder - OG MC is the VA for Stolas in Helluva Boss. Looks like you can find it on YouTube too. A down on his luck man finds out he could be the heir to a vast fortune so long as he murders all the people in line before him!
Beetlejuice - OG MC plays Adam in Hazbin and Fizz in Helluva Boss. So funny and irreverent but also a really poignant story about grief and found family. Might not be able to find online, but there are clips of the songs.
Repo! The Genetic Opera - This one is actually a film. It includes Sara Brightman (OG ALW Christine ftw!). MC is actually the girl from Spy Kids. Story about a future megacorporation loaning out organs to a struggling populace and repo-ing them if they miss their payments.
Legally Blonde - Full version (originally aired on MTV which is where I saw it) is online! Yup, it’s based off the movie/book! OG actor for Emmett the main love interest is none other than Vox’s VA in Hazbin! He is SO SO SO good in this! He also plays Willy Wonka in the OG soundtrack for the Willy Wonka musical (which I also recommend).
Hadestown - Musical based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Music is more NOLA jazz and catchy af. Looks like it’s online too. Recommend going into it knowing the story if you’re unfamiliar. Went with some friends who didn’t and they had strong feelings about it lol.
Sweeney Todd - This is the one about the barber who seeks revenge through serial murder and his “situationship” who bakes his victims into meat pies! Lots of catchy songs! You can probably find on YouTube or somewhere similar but there’s a film version too starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, and Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things Vecna in a musical?!). I really enjoyed the movie when I saw it years ago.
Groundhog Day - This one is based off the movie/book too and on YouTube! The story of the guy stuck in the time loop until he learns how to not be a dick! I have only seen the YouTube version but I’m a huge fan.
Six the Musical - This one is about Henry the 8th and told from the POV of his very unfortunate six wives. There are a couple of recordings on YouTube. The music is kind of more poppy and it’s presented like a concert.
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - I think it was free originally but it’s on streaming now (I think Prime). MCs include Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, and Nathan Fillion. Created by Joss Whedon. Story is about a wannabe supervillain trying to make his way up the food chain while dealing with a love triangle (including his archnemesis) in the process.
Fiddler on the Roof - You might be able to find a filmed production of this online but it also has a really great movie version from I think 1971. Very sweet, but with some darker themes mainly around antisemitism. A poor Jewish man tries to find husbands for his three daughters. The daughters have their own ideas about who they want to marry. Hijinks ensue.
Mamma Mia - The ABBA musical! Love the actual musical and the film (starring Meryl Streep, Dominic Cooper, Amanda Seyfried, Cher, Colin Firth, and more)! They put out a sequel a few years ago too that made me cry like a bitch! Story about a girl about to marry her soulmate who is trying to figure out which of the three men her mother was seeing at the time of her conception is her father. Includes found family and it is just such a sweet and heartfelt story about love in its many forms.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - Musical tv show! This one is about a successful lawyer who has a panic attack and runs away from her life to pursue her childhood crush. I gotta admit I haven’t seen the full show (I think I’ve seen through the second season?), but I really enjoyed it! The songs are a bit silly but fun! Stars include Rachel Bloom, Santino Fontana (first 2 seasons, he’s also Prince Charming in the OG soundtrack for the Cinderella musical - also highly recommend), and other great cast members!
Annie - This one will always have a soft spot in my heart. Huge fan when I was a kid. The 1982 film is great (Tim Curry is in it, need I say more), but the 2014 remake is phenomenal too (and includes Jamie Foxx)! It has the famous “You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile” song in it, which apparently heavily played a role in Alastor’s character in Hazbin. Annie’s an orphan holding out that her bio parents will return for her one day. Meanwhile a rich workaholic decides to temporarily sponsor her for the holidays for the sake of his image. She teaches him life isn’t just about money and legacy.
Big Fish - This is also based on the movie/book! If you haven’t seen the movie, HIGHLY recommend. It’s up in parts on YouTube. It follows the story of a man’s grown up son trying to uncover the real version of his father under the fantastical version of himself he’s always played. It’s a story about fatherhood, optimism, and mortality.
The Prince of Egypt - This is an older movie but I still listen to the soundtrack to this day. You often see it on lists of “soundtracks that didn’t need to go that hard” haha. Follows the story of Moses from the Bible, reckoning with his destiny and how it will destroy his relationship with his brother. Extremely star studded cast and music is composed by Hans Zimmer.
Nevermore - This one I’ve only listened too but I’ve really enjoyed it. Loosely based on the life of Edgar Allen Poe. There are clips on YouTube but I’m not sure if a full version exists somewhere online.
guys drop more musicals for me to watch pleaseeee
so far i’ve seen phantom/hamilton/rocky horror picture show/frankenstein/dr jekyll & mr hyde/les miserables & some others i can’t remember lmao
#musicals#I fucking love musicals#musical suggestions#I’m so sorry#hismercy’s musings#hismercy can’t stfu

Alright...let’s talk Nanner Bread!
Had to turn my attention away from the horror/freak show for a minute. Can’t sleep. Figure best use of time is self care, and right now that means get baked and bake! I just yanked these two loaves out of the oven:
And you will have to pry my groovy vintage EKCOLOY “Silver Beauty” long (12″ x 4″) loaf pans out of my cold dead hands. Just like my cast iron. ;-)
This is a recipe I’ve used since the early ‘90s. I’ve tweaked it over the more than 25 years until I found the proportions to make it come out consistently. Easily adaptable up/down as far as amounts. This batch is plain. I usually add fresh blueberries and roasted pecans. Texture is good, crumb is consistent and airy. Here’s the recipe as I make it for these two super-long loaf pans.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In an extra-large mixing bowl, crack six eggs. Beat on high speed with hand mixer for at least a minute until super-frothy. Alternate adding 1-and-1/3 cup milk and 2/3 cup melted butter (salted), in about three alternating additions, still beating everything on high as you do. [Note: I’ve made this recipe with everything from 2% milk to Half & Half to full-fat buttermilk. It comes out nice no matter what you use, no real changes required.]
Then toss in 5 bananas that have gone brown and super soft and mushy. If they’ve started to ferment, all the better. Add 4 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg to the whole thing and beat once again on high for at least a minute, until you have a thick batter, with all the banana and cinnamon/nutmeg distributed evenly.
In a separate bowl, sift 6 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 6 teaspoons plus a little more of baking powder, and 1-and-1/2 teaspoons of salt.
Pour this into the larger bowl with the beaten egg/nanner mixture. Stir/fold with a large spoon until lumps are almost gone. Leave some lumps! At this point is where I usually toss in 2 small trays of fresh blueberries and a ramekin full of broken toasted pecans. Stir the additions in until distributed evenly. Be sure to pre-roast any nuts you use, that adds to the flavor. I roast pecan halves on a pizza pan at 325 for 11 minutes exactly, let ‘em cool, and break ‘em up into a ramekin.
Grease your two pans and flour them, as well. Fill them equally. Top off with a GENEROUS sprinkling of “Sparkling Sugar”. This is what makes the wonderfully cracked top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 55 minutes. Done when toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Cool in pans for 15 minutes, and then remove from pans and cool on a rack. Enjoy a slice warm with some butter, or wait until it’s completely cooled and have a slice toasted in the morning. Slice about 3/4″ thick, with a serrated bread knife (thin blade) with a sawing motion.
This banana bread keeps on the countertop for several days, if wrapped in waxed paper and foil. Fridge any remains after about 4 days, 3 days if the blueberries are added. Remains can also be sliced about 3/4″ thick, separated with waxed paper, and frozen in a baggie. They come back to life in the toaster oven beautifully. Toast the frozen slice until it is slightly browned and warm all the way through...have slathered with full-fat Greek Yogurt for breakfast. ;-)
Enjoy!

20+ Books That You (Might Actually Want) To Read During Pride Month!
Right, so. I got annoyed after seeing the list referenced in this post last night, told myself that my books are all packed up so I couldn’t do anything about it, and lasted all of a whopping 10 minutes before picking up my phone and attempting to make my own list instead. Behold, my from-memory attempt to present 20 books with strong LGBTQ plots, characters, and/or authors, that DON’T just rely on Suffering and Identity Politics and are... you know... fun.
Listed in alphabetical order by title. Links take you to Bookshop.org, where you can buy them from your local independent bookstore at a discount and NOT from the evil empire.

15. The Last Rune (series) – Mark Anthony * Imma be real with you chief, I haven’t read this series since I was a clueless teenager with no idea why I liked Gay Stuff so much, so if it does turn out to suck now, don’t throw rotten veggies at me * but especially since it was written in the NINETIES, this series was hella progressive?! * gay characters, disabled characters, characters of color, all playing significant and heroic roles in six-book epic fantasy cycle * people from Earth end up in high-fantasy world of Eldh * endgame M/M romance for the main character * books out of print, I think, but you can find them cheap somewhere like AbeBooks; first one (Beyond the Pale) linked above
