#bc i just. hear a lot of music that i feel is being held back by being pitch corrected. but so many critiques of pitch correction are

[fredoesque]

not against the proliferation of pitch correction in the sense that i think it's somehow ""cheating"" or that i care if someone edits their vocals in any way but incredibly wary of the assumptions that seem to underlie its near ubiquitous use; that the perfectly pitched version of a song is necessarily the most beautiful version and that the most beautiful version is necessarily the artistically superior one. assumptions which i feel have terrible implications for both the quality of the art and the self-image of artists

MORE Random West Wing Headcanons bc I said so

i’ve gotten back into the show recently (esp bc i understand all the politics and crap) and i feel the need to talk about my favorite dysfunctional political administration

in the first post i made, i said ainsley and sam dated for two years before breaking up. well that breakup didn’t last very long. a month later, they started dating again. from that point, on they never left each others side. they live in georgetown with a rottweiler and four kids.

after being really involved in solving a finance crisis, josh was invited to throw the first pitch at the Mets game. when the camera zoomed in on him, he was visibly emotional.

donna was over at josh’s apartment so much during his recovery period, they’ve begun to have weekly movie nights. they continue this tradition even after marriage and kids.

josh and donna’s house has a wall in the hallway of their house when you first enter that is covered with their kids’ handprints - at first, it was just their oldest being naughty but they let it grow into the Moss-Lyman art exhibit. even sam and ainsley’s kids, and toby and andy’s kids have added their prints to the wall

there’s a weekend every summer where all of senior staff and their families come up to Manchester and stay on the Bartlet Farm at Abbey’s insistence - she wears the title of “Grandma Abbey” proudly

at the inaugural ball (aka s4 josh & donna), josh and donna spend so much time together that a lot of the people there going to congratulate josh on getting bartlet’s second term mistake josh and donna for husband and wife - as a joke, donna and josh let people believe it

^^they end up getting quite the talking to from abbey - because she’s mad they didn’t tell her first (and cj, who has to field press questions the next day and they almost caused a domestic incident)

as an april fools day prank, zoey and charlie covered bartlet’s walls in the oval office with sticky notes - sam helped and wrote a “your mama” joke in latin as payback for bartlet having fun with the staff

josh has a terrible habit of biting the skin around his nails until they bleed - he doesn’t realize how bad it is until he turns some papers into the president with large drops of blood on them - donna keeps spare bandaids at her desk

toby likes to have a little fun with donna and say things to deliberately get a reaction out of her - some are truths, some are lies. one truth is that he likes beans on toast. donna called him clinically insane.

leo really likes musicals. can he sing? hardly ever. but on days he finds he needs to relax, he puts on the original cast recording of oklahoma and everything turns out okay

donna unofficially adopts a sickly kitten that lived in the trash near her apartment - she names it Brownie and nurses it back to health

^^Josh is allergic to Brownie but doesn’t say a word to Donna until after they’ve been married and had kids when they reach the age where they start asking for pets

Donna is sort of a multiple-threat kind of girl - she was an excitable kid so she grew up knowing how to do all kinds of things - these things are tap dance for seven years, karate for two years, horseback riding has been the only constant in her life, she can knit and sew, and she even speaks a little french - josh LOVES it when Donna speaks french

josh is always cold, he’s never run warm. donna knit a blanket for him as a birthday present. he’s never said anything but it’s one his favorite things in the whole world

donna actually likes hearing some of the president’s obscure historical tidbits - she even goes so far as to learning some of her own to exchange with him

toby visits the veteran’s grave that he buried every year and even talks to him a little while he’s there

it took a solid 20 minutes after donna had their first kid to let someone else hold him besides josh. the third person to hold their kid was bartlet.

^^^donna has never seen josh more in love than when he held their kid for the first time. cj took a photo of josh gazing at the little baby swaddled in blue clothing with visible tears streaking down his face. it’s one of donna’s favorite photos.

Sam is really good at hockey. He takes his kids to hockey games whenever he can.

— I CAN DO YOU BETTER ! [hobie brown x fem!black reader]

✮ including : college!au, bestfriend!hobie, readers ex is a dick, fingering, hobie being a tease, use of the names: doll, pretty thing, sweetheart, princess. cursing, cunnilingus, mention of weed and alcohol. ✮ Summary: Your best friend hobie comforts you after getting broken up with over the phone with your ex, and gives you the treatment you’ve always deserved ✮ a word from kam: yall this literally took me all day to do I hope you like it! (I took a lot of breaks my lazy ass), kinda felt this one a lil bit bc this situation kinda happened to me,from now on just expect these type of posts to take 1-2 days bc I wanna make it nice and long (yo pause) for all of you to enjoy! ✮ Genre: Angst-Fluff-Smut

6 LONG MONTHS YOU SPENT; trying to salvage whatever was left of yourself when you and your ex broke up. You never truly felt as though you would be whole again, nights alone feeling more lonely than they should. Your heart hanging heavy as the full moon in the sky, each night feeling empty. No sweet Goodmorning texts or random flowers at your doorstep. Just radio silence, as if the world had stood still. Left to your thoughts, until you slowly started to get over the break up. Long days that were once spent in your bed now, turning into short trips out of your dorm to try and push yourself to go outside. Your smile slowly starting to return as you started to focus more on yourself, taking self care days after finishing your homework for your classes. Even mustering up the courage to go to a party one of your friends held, who almost cried seeing you turn up at her door. “Oh my god, y/n?!” She closed the door behind her and pulled you in for a hug, “You look so pretty! And damn did your boobs get bigger-“ You rolled your eyes at the darkskinned girl with a smile, “Hey Mads, thought I would stop by to come see you.” The girl gave you a “Bitch be for real.” look. “And because you have some good ass alcohol.” “Yes the hell I do! And some fine ass niggas are in here girl.” She whispered shouted, her brown eyes getting bigger as she said this. Grabbing your hand she reached for the doorknob, “You ready girl?” You adjusted the chain of your purse on your bare shoulder before nodding, not expecting Maddie to literally pull pull you into the big dorm.

Weed and Pheromones filled the air as you looked around the room, the led lights giving the dorm a certain ambience as you felt the girl let go of your hand. “I’m gonna go get us a drink! I’ll come find you later!” You nodded, before making your way to a thankfully empty couch in the living space. The music at a comfortable level (as to not get a noise complaint), people you’ve seen in class now smoking and drinking to take a breather from all the snappy proffesors they had to deal with all week. You sighed, before sitting down. Rethinking the slightly revealing shimmery dress you wore, though you reassured yourself that it was cute before opening your white purse to distract yourself on your phone. While texting your sister (who was a bit too noisy) you felt someone sit down on the couch besides you. You looked up to see a dark skin guy, with wicks and all types of piercings and silver jewelry. ‘Damn he’s hot’ You thought to yourself, almost catching his gaze that was focused on the blunt in between his fingers a moment ago. Your eyes went back to texting your sister, before hearing a voice ask, “Loud party innit?” You almost jumped at the question, making the stranger next to you laugh. “Didn’t mean to scare you doll.” He let out a cloud of smoke which added to the already weed filled dorm room. You shook your head briefly, “No your fine, its just-“ Your eyes then saw Maddie giggling and laughing with another dude who was leaned up against the wall. “So much for my drink.” You muttered to yourself, though with a small smile. It was time one of your single friends got some action. “Got dragged here?” You hesitated before answering, “Not really?” You fiddled with one of your braids, looking down at the floor. “I kinda dragged myself here. I wanted to get out of my depressin ass dorm and just do something.” You stated, not feeling the gaze of hobies eyes on the side of your face.

“They were a douche bag huh?” You sat up straight, turning to look at his face in confusion. “What do you mean?” “The look on the face you just had? I’ve seen it on half of the blokes here. Heartbreak.” He took another drag of the blunt, your mind some reason minding it somewhat attractive how he held it between his two fingers. His gaze once more making your eyes pull away, “You wanna try doll?” You smiled at the nickname but declined, “I’m good, maybe another time. I gotta make sure i get back to my own dorm this time.” You explained, your choice of words peaking hobies interest, “This time?” You nodded, letting out a small sigh before pulling out a small flask from your bag and taking a swig. “Careful now, don’t want you tellin me you whole life story cuz your drunk.” You laughed, “No no, I’m fine. This is hardly strong, just something to take the edge off before I told you what uh my trifling ass ex did to me.”

Which is exactly what you did, told your first experience of a shitty boyfriend, to a complete stranger, though who wouldn’t be for long after asking if you wanted to go somewhere more quiet to talk. Which led to a 2 hour conversation on a vacant balcony of the resident building. You left out no details as you told every single thing he did, every special occasion he missed, every date, every anniversary and even your walk on graduation day. Hobie started to notice the tears welling up in your pretty eyes as you told him how excited you were to be graduating, and going to college. Only to have your boyfriend miss it to go have a phone call with his ex. Your voice started to waver, and your vision started to blur. Not being able to help when the tears came flooding own your cheeks. “its okay doll he can’t toy with your heart anymore.” His voice calming you down, your tears slowed. The light of the moon casting a soft glow on your figure, causing your tear stained cheeks and slightly ruined makeup to look breathtaking to hobie. Your glittery dress complementing your figure and taunting him to pull you flush against your chest and tell you everything is gonna be alright. Though in awe of your beauty he felt slight anger for the asshole who made a pretty girl like you cry. His hand going to rub your bare shoulder in circles, the feeling of his touch ticklish yet soothing. “Thank you.” You small sweet voice causing hobies heart to swell, “No problem, don’t thank me for human decency luv.”

────────── 🎸 . Months later <33. ─────────────────

As you sat on hobies bed wearing one of hobies band tees you thought back to when the two of you both met, and thankful you are to have him in your life now. You stared into space with a slight smile on your face as you daydreamed about him, his smirk when he knows he’s right. How his sweatpants hang deliciously low on his waist, how hot his hands looked adorned with silver rings. Your daze was soon interrupted by sound of a door opening. You practically skipped over to the living room too see him, “Finallyyy, I swear to god hobes if you were trying to figure out what candy to get-“ “Listen luv you were the one who told me you like mike n Ike’s, pocky and sour patch kids.” Hobie stated, putting down the plastic bags that were full of snacks and carbonated drinks on the counter. You were so eager to find your snacks you couldn’t feel the gaze of hobies wandering eyes peaking into your shirt to see your boobs, your sexy black bra strap taunting him as you leaned forward to further search the bags. Allowing the guitar player to get a glimpse of the valley of your breasts. Though you weren’t naive, you knew that hobie would check you out at times, even if he claims to ‘see something stuck to your clothes’ you know he’s taking a peek. As you finally got your pick of snacks you put all of them in one bag and carried it back to hobies bedroom. “Don’t make a mess shorty.” You flipped him off, earning a laugh from the giant. (THIS ISNT EVEN AN EXAGGERATION THAT MF IS LIKE 6’3) Getting comfortable under his sheets you stopped and realized how this looks, how your wearing his t-shirt, how he calls you kind of sweet nicknames, how you’ve slept in his bed multiple times. The list went on, though you tried to hush your thoughts since Hobie most likely didn’t mean anything by it..right? “Whats got your head in the clouds hm?” You jumped, turning your head to see him leaning against the doorframe with a slight smirk on his handsome face. ‘Why the fuck is he so hot-‘ “Nothing, get in here so we can finish watching this please. And please close the door, those dumbasses next door don’t know how to turn they’re music the fuck down.”

It was always a delight seeing you get slightly mad, your sudden ability to talk fast as hell and your annoyed face is just adorable to hobie. He got comfortable in the bed besides you, taking the blue box of candy out of your lap quickly and getting some out. “Already told them to turn it down when you were sleepin one night.” He stated, putting the candy box back in your lap. “You got a cute sleeping face luv.” You elbowed him in his rib cage despite the flutter in your stomach. Distracting yourself you grabbed the remote and began to turn to the horror movie you were watching with hobes last night. The feeling of his skin touching yours overwhelming your senses specifically tonight, the normal ticklish feeling was normal but tonight it felt different. Come to think of it the air between you both felt different as well, more flirty and touchy lately. Your thoughts ran wild as you desperately tried to put your finger on why you feel so weird around hobie lately. Noticing your lack of attention to a woman literally being stabbed hobie pinched your side, “Ow! What the hell-” You looked up at the brunette with a furrowed brows only to be met with a curious hobie, “What in the hell are you thinking about? Barbie just got stabbed to death and your head is in the clouds.” You laugh at the nickname hobie had given the hot blonde, “Sorry sorry, but Baube? Really dude?” You mocked his accent only to be met with an eyeroll, while you erupted in a fit of laughter. “Alright since you wanna laugh so much,” as you felt hobies fingers tickling your sides your laughter grew louder as you squirmed trying to get away. The horror movie now just background music as you twisted and turned.

“Okay!-Okay, I’m sorry!” You pleaded with him as you rolled into his side, finally catching your breath you looked up at him. A slight smirk tugging at is pierced lips, his eyes clouded with a film of slight desire. His hands that were once at your sides shifted down to your hips,“You look cute in my shirt shorty.” He teased, “Though you look hot in black lace.” Despite your brown skin a very faint tint of red flushed on your cheeks at that moment. His voice, touch, scent, shit his fucking pheromones made your body react in ways you’ve never thought you would before. So when you pressed your lips against his in the heat of the moment you were quick to pull back and realize what you just did. “I’m sorry hobie, I didn’t mean to-“ A kiss on your forehead caused the words you were once going to say, to then die on your tongue. “I’m pretty sure you meant to luv, but do you want me to kiss you?” You eyes widened at the question, your heart racing as he loomed over you. You hesitated before letting out a small, “please.”

In return hobies lips crashed into yours, his hand tightening the grip around your waist as he did so. Your hands found its way to the side of his neck, pulling him deeper into the kiss. Your body feeling hoot and cold from his touch, the kiss hungry yet passionate. A tent formed in his pants as he heard you moans into the kiss, drinking up every single gasp and sound your pretty voice let out. Moving ontop of you, he broke the kiss to attack your neck with small ones and bites. Earning moans and gasp from you, “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this for.” He whispered into your ear, sending shivers down your spine in result. Kisses trailed down your neck and to your collar-bone, it looked like you were about to take the shirt off but he stopped you. “I wanna fuck you with it on, it looks so sexy on you love.” You smiled softly despite your core throbbing at the mere sound of his voice, kissing him sweetly this time. “I love you hobie.” You confessed, looking up at him with those eyes.

The eyes he’d always wanted to see from you, filled with love and admiration. The kind of eyes that you gave to your asshole of an ex who didn’t appreciate the literal goddess in front of him. Hobie swore his heart stopped when he heard you pretty lips say those 4 little words. Who was he to not say it back? “I love you too doll, so fuckin much.” Kissing you back your heart melted, he gave you one more small kiss on your soft lips before sitting up on his knees, his hands going down to the waistband of your shorts, his eyes looking at yours for approval. Once you gave him a reassuring nod he tugged them off hungrily, throwing them across his bedroom long forgotten now. Only leaving you in matching lacy black panties to go with your bra, “Such a pretty girl..” He said out loud, though sounded if he were saying it to himself. He pushed the band tee up your torso to kiss your stomach all the way down to your v-line. His low eyes looked at you once more for approval and once you gave the okay he teased you with kisses on the inner side of your thigh. The cold metal of his lip piercing on such a sensitive spot caused you to moan slightly louder than you expected, which earned a groan out of hobie. “You sound so fuckin pretty ma, wanna hear you scream my name.” As his kisses slowly trailed up you started to grow impatient, whining his name which just made the bulge in his pants grow more uncomfortable. “Please ‘bee, I want you.” Your dripping sex, aching for his touch

God your fucking killing him, despite seeming unfazed and teasing every single thing you did drove hobie up the wall. Your voice, your body, the way you would style your braids at night, those pretty fucking eyes that look to him with need and desperation. “Mm, ask me properly.” You whined, before getting a nibble on a nerve that shut you up quick. “Hobie please..I want your tongue in me. Please.” He could’ve came at that moment had he not held himself back, “Alright pretty girl, I got you.” Despite his sweet words he ripped your panties off making you pout, “I’ll buy you prettier ones don’t worry doll.” Spreading your legs revealed your aching cunt, the cold air hitting your sex making you feel exposed. Not long after hobie kissed your clit before dining on your pussy, his tongue lapping up your folds causing you to throw your head back in pleasure. Your manicured nails clawing the sheets, as you whimpered and moaned your bestfriends name. Your eyes rolling back as he picked up his at first slow pace with his tongue, your back arching so pretty off his bed that’s now smelt like your sex.

“It’s cuffing seasonnn-“

Your phone began to ring, annoyance turning into slight fear as you saw the caller ID. Hobie smirked, picking up the phone besides you to answer it. Sitting back up on his knees in the process leaving a small lewd string of saliva from your cunt to his lips,“Yo y/n look I’ve been thinking about you and-“ “Gonna stop you right there mate, y/n isn’t fuckin interested in asshats like yourself,” Despite his passive aggressive voice, the sudden feeling of two fingers rubbing against your folds then slipping inside your hole once lubricated made you let out a high pitch moan. “The fuck was that?” You slapped a hand over your mouth, causing hobie to put the phone on speaker leaving it on the bed to gently pull your hand away. “Let me hear how good im making you feel love.” His tone now soft as he spoke to you, you nodded, receiving a long kiss from hobie as he slowly started to scissor is fingers into you. Taking a mental note of how your cunt practically sucked him in, your soft walls squeezing his digits tight. Causing a abnormal amount of precut to leak out of the tip of his dick. Hobie now become eager to see his long thought of fantasy play out before him. A fantasy his jerked himself off to almost every night, seeing you lose your mind of pleasure because of him. Eager to find your g-spot, eager to see your pretty face contort as you cum on his fingers. Eager for your shitty ex to hear how much better hobie fucks you than he ever could.

You grinded your hips down on his fingers, yearning for the sweet release not caring anymore about your pathetic ex on the phone trying to win you back. All you wanted, all you needed in this moment was hobie. One curl against your sweet spot snapped you out of your thoughts and caused the dorm to be filled with your sounds as you neared your high, your nipples hard against the fabric of hobies shirt, your senses overloaded as you focused on the feeling of his finger scissoring you to your climax. A hand went up to squeeze his forearm, “Please don’t fuckin stop bee, please don’t m’ so close.” Looking up at him with lust filled eyes, made hobie lose it. He continued to pump his fingers inside your pulsating cunt, hitting that sweet spot so deliciously causing your mouth to form in an ‘o’ as you arched off the bed again. Your chest against his as the coil in your stomach began to unwrap. Your moans grew dangerously loud as sopping noises filled the room, your vision starting to turn white as your legs begun to shake. “Let go for me princess, I got you.” Whispers from hobie drew you even closer, his breath tickling your ear as his voice drove you insane. One kiss under your ear and a few rubs from his thumb on your clit was all it took for your legs to clamp around hobies hand and cum. Moaning out hobies and a few curses your spasmed around his digits. Your grip on his forearm now loosened, as you slowly came down from your high. Your body now weak and sensitive hobie pulled his fingers out of your cunt, admiring the mess you made on them before licking them clean.

You notice your ex hung up a while ago, but couldn’t care less as you let out a couple tired giggles. “You love meee.” He let out an airy laugh, “Yeah I do. Someone has to love your crazy ass.” You rolled your eyes before pulling him in a deep kiss tasting your slick on his tongue, your hands went to cup his face. Only pulling back when you’re both breathless and smiling. “I love you hobie.” Your eyes shining with happy tears and love, “What am I going to do with you huh? Such a whiner.”

“Oh kiss my ass, you literally love me.”

Bonus <333

As you began to feel sleep take over you, you notice hobie about to go into the bathroom before catching a slightly big stain on the front of his sweats. “Bee?” He hummed in response, “Did you cum while eatin me out?” That iconic smirk made its way back on his face, “Maybe, blame your pretty ass moans for that luv.”

BACK TO THE EVENT

[pixelated-glitter]

Hi I saw ur still open to requests. may I have another one? bc npmd has been stuck in my head recently >:D

I was thinking about despite the whole tune of the musical. witnessing/experiencing their classmates dying must be traumatizing.

so I'm thinking about so aftermath stuff

for example Lautski having this hurt&comfort stuff where one of them feeling real bad and guilty for what they had done and the other was like, hugging them/saying reassuring words to them (and Peter is the one who's more likely to feel bad imo)

or it could be Ruth freaking out on hearing Richie's death and one of her friends comforting her

sorry I was rambling a lot. its just a random idea. u could pick one if ur interested and pls don't feel stressed to reply. I really love your writing. have a nice day!

Thank you so much for the request!! I'm gonna try to combine it, kind of tehee

Thank you and have a nice day to you too!

I'll try my best :))

(more beneath the break ^^)

______________________________________________________________

"..Richard Lipschitz." "Richie's dead?!"

And just like that, Ruth's world came crumbling down. She felt her heart sink and tears starting to swell behind her eyes. She felt her cheeks starting to heat up a little, her brows furrowing.

Richie's dead..?

"..No- No, he can't- He can't be dead. He- He just-" Ruth cried, tightly being held by Peter who was also starting to cry in the hallway, Stephanie and Grace standing with them.

"I can't believe someone would do this.." Stephanie worried.

"..He- he can't just-.." Peter gently shushed her before she could say anything else, in an attempt to comfort her a little. She choked back her sobs, not wanting to draw attention to her. It couldn't just end like this, right?

Later that day, when Ruth, Peter, and Richie would usually have their daily study session at the library, neither of the remaining two decided to turn up.

Ruth decided to completely ignore her aunt Charlotte in the kitchen when she came home and went straight to her room.

"Ruth?" Charlotte opened the door slightly and peeked in to Ruth lying on her bed, sobbing softly.

They talked, for hours. Trying to get this mess to make sense, which it never will.

A few days later, trying to keep her mood up for Pete, she went to rehearsal.

Which was a big mistake.

A few days later when Peter, Stephanie, and Grace were told that Ruth was gone as well, Peter almost immediately broke down into tears.

"They- they were all I had." Sure, he had Stephanie, but he didn't know for sure if they were going to last. What if the killer was going after them as well?

"I know." Stephanie tried her best to comfort him by holding him close and muttering reassuring things to him.

"Do you think this would have happened if we had killed Max?" "We didn't kill him, Pete. It wasn't our fault." "But- but the building wasn't structurally sound." "Well, there was nothing we could have done about that. It's not your fault, It's not anyone's fault. It's gonna be okay."

They spent their time like that alot after the two had passed - Steph holding him, trying her best to keep it together for him, and him choking back his sobs.

Sometimes it was as if he could still hear them, or see snippets of them at school, like their spirits roamed the halls of Hatchetfield High.

I HOPE THIS WASNT TOO DEPRESSING LMAO

I hope y'all like this!!

[streakyglasses]

Sick fic alphabet bc I’m home in bed all weekend with my debilitating period. A, H, J and maaaybe a bit of O bc it’s Chris. Thank you, you’re the best 🫶🏼

oh no! i'm so so sorry to hear that. i hope you've had/have a good, restful weekend, and that it lets up soon 💕 hopefully a little fluff will help.

here in the deep end (of someone who loves me)

read on ao3, ffn, or below the cut.

also, a little playlist to go with this one: someone who loves me (sara bareilles), i don't mind (ian mcconnell), how good it is (morningsiders), this could be good (morningsiders), milhouse (maisie peters), forever (noah kahn)

If there’s on thing Street knows to be irrefutably true about Chris, it’s that she’s determined. No matter what she sets her mind to, no matter what obstacles crop up along the way, she’ll find a way to get it done, no matter the cost. He admires her for it, he loves her for it. 

He just wishes she would learn that determination doesn’t have to mean running herself into the ground. That taking a break is as much a part of being productive as barrelling through walls and shattering glass ceilings. It would save him a lot of time and worry spent waiting for her body to shut down because it’s telling her she needs to rest, but she won’t listen. Until that day comes, however, he’ll be there to catch her when she falls.

So when he hears her get into the shower an hour before they’re supposed to go to her Aunt’s house for dinner with her extended family, he kicks into high gear. 

A clean bed, lit candles, closed blinds, and his secret weapon waiting patiently for its time to shine. He feels the weight of it against his back where he’s perched on the bed, staring at the bathroom door for her to finish. Underneath his genuine concern over her inability to slow down, his stomach is warm knowing he’s the one that gets to be there for her when she does. The comforter is soft underneath his palms, and he laughs to himself as he waits for the water to stop. It’s another few minutes before it does, and then another still before she opens the door. 

“What are you doing?” Chris asks, towel held around her chest, eyes widening when she glances at the clock. “We have to leave in half an hour.” 

“No. We don’t.” His tone is gentle, but her eyes narrow and her jaw tightens all the same. They’ve done this dance a million times by now, though, so he takes the lead before she can cut the music. 

“We’re staying in. I already talked to Helena about it.” 

“Street,” she scoffs, moving to the dresser to look for clothes, but he leans over so he’s still in her field of vision. “That’s ridiculous. I’m—” “Fine? I’ve heard that one before, Babe. You’re not. You’ve been falling asleep on your feet for the past three days, and I’ve seen your rolling your neck and trying to stretch out all those knots, but I doubt they’ve gone anywhere. Am I right?”

She sighs like she’s annoyed, but he sees how relief floods her eyes and her shoulders drop a little of their tension. 

“Fine, you’re right,” she admits, and he thinks, maybe, it’s finally starting to sink in. But then, “But we can’t miss dinner. I’ll never hear the end of it.” 

Lips in a line, Street takes a deep breath. Their whole bedroom seems to breathe with him, expanding and contracting as he finds a way to be both gentle and unyielding. He crosses to her, his back shielding the bed, and carefully takes her elbow. Her breath stutters, and her eyes flick to his for barely a second as her body reorients itself, and then she gives in and looks at him completely. 

“I talked to Helena,” he repeats. “As far as your family is concerned, we have the flu. Please, Chris, I’m just worried. And don’t tell me not to worry because I always will, because I love you.”

Her eyes go glassy with tears, and it breaks his heart; this has only happened once or twice in the midst of these conversations. He needs to fix things before she feels any worse. He turns quick and grabs what he’s been banking on this whole time. 

“Besides,” he says soft, turning back to her. “I’m just the messenger. This guy is the one insisting on a night in.” 

She doesn’t see it at first, and she freezes when she does, her mind racing with a million memories and even more questions. In his hand sits a stuffed white bear that she’s had since she was three. It also looks worse for wear, having been stitched and patched up more than once by Helena’s expert hands, and he hands it over when she reaches for it, reverent. 

“Oh my God,” there’s disbelief in her voice, but not in a bad way, and he can’t stop himself from smiling even though she’s not looking at him. “Where did you get this?” 

Chris cradles the bear to her chest on instinct, breathing in the scent of lavender when she buries her nose in the fur, and brings her gaze to Street. His heart starts to settle back down in his chest, and he exhales. 

“Swung by your family after shift last night. Sarzo and Helena have also noticed you’ve been overdoing it, and gave it to me to give to you.” 

Her brown eyes roll, but they’re too full of love for him to take it seriously.

“ So ,” he seizes the moment, “the only clothes you’re putting on are clean pajamas. And then you can get in bed and pick a movie while I heat up dinner, and reheat your—” 

“Poppy.” 

He can’t stop a grin from overtaking his face, but he does manage to keep the overwhelming urge to kiss her until they’re both senseless at by. 

“Poppy.” Street finishes. “Please?” 

“Okay,” Chris finally relents. She’ll never admit how good it feels to shove the world out and lock the door, but she does rise onto her tiptoes and kiss him. “Thank you.” 

“Mm,” he hums, and kisses her again, letting his lips linger on hers. When they part, her eyes are brighter than they’ve been in a while, clearer, and he smiles. “You’re welcome. I love you. Now, hand over Poppy.” 

She doesn’t realize how tightly she’s holding the bear until she has to let go. The moment it slides through her fingers, she misses the weight. 

“I’ll take good care of her.” He promises. 

In the silence, she grabs shorts but then slides her drawer shut to open his, instead, and pulls out one of his retired SWAT shirts. It smells like him when she slips it overhead, and she breathes deeply while she finishes changing, hangs up her towel, and, finally, slides under the covers. 

Her body sinks into the mattress as if it were a cloud, insulated even more by the thought of Street and Poppy in the kitchen. Still, the weariness she’s just managed to stave off becomes more apparent the longer she lies there. Her neck and shoulders ache no matter how she wraps herself around his pillow. She grabs the remote to find a movie to distract herself with, but it’s thin, her groans drowning out the dialogue of Spiderman. 

“Okay,” Street’s easy voice takes off some of the edge. He enters the room with a tray of food that he sets on the dresser, Poppy, and another heating pad. “That cannot be comfortable.” 

“Everything hurts.” She murmurs, nuzzling further into his pillow. 

“I know,” he sets a hand on her shoulder, pulling lightly so she rolls onto her back and sits up. He fluffs and stacks all the pillows into a soft wall for her to lean against, holding them steady while she tries to find a comfortable position. “How’s that?” 

“Better,” she sighs. 

“Good. Just let me slide this behind you, and you’ll be all set.” 

Leaning forward, Chris feels a spread of warmth over her back, and sighs. The heat immediately radiates through her muscles and helps her relax, enough for her to fall asleep if she wanted. But the sound of silverware clinking makes her open her eyes, stomach grumbling at the sight of chicken casserole. 

“When did you have time to make this?” She asks softly. Her mind pours over what she remembers him telling her of his schedule, and finding no spare minute. He smiles small when she looks at him, and he shrugs. 

“I have my ways. Figured you needed some comfort food. Oh,” he jogs around the bed to sit next to her, his own plate and fork finding his lap. “This is the best part.”

For the second time, her vision blurs with tears. Every part of her tries to come up with reasons why she deserves this and for how to say thank you, but nothing is enough on either account. Even if she could, he’s keeping his eyes glued to the screen as if it’s the most interesting thing on Earth. 

She’s no stranger to this dance, either. This is the part where he acts like he’s only doing what anyone would, and she grapples with giving in despite knowing it’s not. As always, she does give in. Savoring the first taste of home in warm, delicious cheese and chicken, she also turns her attention to the TV. 

“When he gets bit is not the best part.” 

“Speak for yourself.” Street teases back. “It’s the beginning of it all. Any time I got so much as a mosquito bite as a kid, I convinced myself I’d wake up the next morning with cool powers.” 

“Really?” She laughs, a much-missed sound for both of them. “What would they’ve called you? SpiderStreet?” 

He shakes his head, sucks in a reflective breath with all too much drama. 

“No, I always thought just ‘Spider’ would be my go to. Much cooler.” 

“I see. Well, it isn’t too late for that to come true.” 

“Oh? Does this mean you’ll patch up all my bruises and help keep my identity a secret?” 

“Maybe,” Chris shrugs, checking him in her periphery, lips twisted into a grin. “But until you get those powers, it means you get to handle whenever there’s a spider in the bathroom.” 

“Deal,” he chuckles. “How’s the casserole?” 

She lowers her fork to take another bite, but is met with the sound of metal scraping ceramic. An internal heat overcomes her with how this is further proof she’s been taking terrible care of herself. Luckily, the room is dark. 

“Gone. But it was delicious.” 

“Good. Here, let me take your bowl. I’ll be back.” 

The movie plays but she pays it no attention while she waits for him to come back. He does quickly, more pillows underneath one arm and an again-warm Poppy in the other. 

“Those are from the guest room.”

“Good observation, Alonso.” He winks, and stacks them up where his would be if they weren’t behind her. Reaching for the end of the bed, he snags their extra blanket to shake out over them, adjusting it after he situates himself, half-propped up and half-lying down. 

“I’ve got it,” his sweet, light tone stops her from reaching back to fix her own pillows. One is folded in half against his torso for her to lie on, another along her back, and the last two he sets to the side. Poppy is snuggled as firmly into her chest as she is into Street’s. The sense of safety surrounding her from all sides easing away all other thoughts than being where they are. That one fades, too, when he presses a kiss to her head. “The heating pad still okay? Do you want the extra pillow for your hips?” 

“It’s good.” Her hair fans out as she nods, voice swallowed by the pillowcase. “I’m good. Thank you.” 

He holds her closer, arm wrapped securely around her and lips barely an inch from the shell of her ear. 

“You’re welcome. Tell me if you change your mind.” 

“I will,” she says, and where she expects the fizzle of discomfort in her chest, she finds resolution instead. She leans into his lips on her forehead, moaning quietly. 

Street can’t make himself look away from her. Her long lashes, the slope of her nose, tattooed hands holding onto Poppy. The whole scene is so indescribably comforting, and he wonders if she knows just how far he’d go for her. It makes a well in his chest that he has to be careful not to fall into. Attempting to tread carefully, he forces his eyes back to the TV. He’s just cluing back into the plot when there’s warm breath across his bare skin. 

“What’s that, Babe?”

“This. This is the best part.”

hii! could i request a cooper day fluff? maybe reader and coop are friends and end up confessing their feelings for each other whilst listening to music in his room (bc i feel like that fits with his vibe)

thank u 💕

warning: language

summary: short short wholesome read the ask because that’s what happens in this. not edited and reader is strong willed and ultimately mecore

“she’s so right, nothing does compare to a quiet evening alone with you,” i taunted at him. i’m not really sure how this came about, me and him, being as close of friends as we are.

i can’t even remember when we first met, he was just around a lot, and eventually we grew some type of bond between one another. for instance, we had the same taste in music and fashion, which is enough to base a friendship off of.

crushcrushcrush by paramore played over his cd player and he had settled into his bed with a graphic novel of some sort, something worth teasing him over due to how nerdy it was, and in the meantime, i found myself on the floor of his bedroom, for whatever reason, it was more comfortable than his cheap desk chair, so i didn’t mind it too much.

the day has come and passed us yet, a doctors appointment in the morning and a dinner with his family i had to endure until it was just us alone together again, as we so often are these days.

“is it?” he responded rather weakly, obviously not really hearing me. i know i tend to talk too much about anything and everything, and he does try his best to hear me out for what i really mean, but at the moment he was too invested in the book he held.

“yeah,” i collected myself up off the floor and stretched out my limbs wide into the air like a star. he stole a quick glance my way but acted as though he didn’t. back to his book went his eyes.

i came closer to him, sitting on the side of his bed and carelessly laying back, resting on his blanket covered middle.

“ow, you’re squishing me,” he whined and poked my forehead but i refused to break.

“oh deal with it, you big baby,” i stared up at the ceiling where there wasn’t anything, no decorations, just the barren white color the rest of his walls are painted, and you would be able to see had he not put posters wall to wall everywhere else. i was about to point it out to him, ask him why he chose to do that, seriously, i was on the verge of spewing the words from my mouth when he beat me to it.

“do you really like hanging out with me that much?” he didn’t look up from his book but i sensed he was jittery.

“huh?”

“when you quoted the lyrics in the song. is it true? do you really like being around me all the time?”

“of course,” the room was cold and it was autumn so there was good reason for it.

he fell silent and i let him.

“why, do you not?” i sat up and made direct eye contact, like i was about to scold him for his potentially negative answer.

“no, i do, trust me, i do.” he still wouldn’t look up from his book so i decided to break out my best attention grabbing tactics.

“so, are we in love now, or what?” never breaking eye contact once, he didn’t look away.

“well i know i am, i don’t know about you.”

my own plan worked against me. now i was the one bamboozled. “wait what?”

“you heard me.” i could not stand this for a second longer so i ripped the book out of his hands and placed it open face down on the sheets next to me, ensuring he wouldn’t lose his place.

his hands now empty, he sat up. “i’m serious. i like you. i really hope you like me too, since things are gonna be weird if you don’t, but if you don’t, it’s fine, you don’t have to.”

“wait, no, i do. i like you too, yeah, i just, i don’t know, i didn’t know if this was like… that kind of thing, what we have. i thought it was more we just stay friends for years and ignore whatever else is happening between us,” i rambled to him and he reached out and grabbed my hand to hold in his.

“i wanna be more if you wanna be more.”

i nodded, happily, with a stupid big smile on my face, “yeah, yeah, i’d like that a lot, actually. so, what? do we like make out now or something?”

he shrugged, “maybe,” and picked up where he left off in his graphic novel. i laughed and shoved his shoulder, laying back down. what an asshole.

How Bakugou Katsuki would support his and Himiko‘s daughter in a talent contest — a BakuToga family headcanon

So this was an idea I had way back in 2022 but was too lazy to type it:

+ What if, in the future that they got together, Katsuki and Himiko's daughter chooses the song PONPONPON as her entry in her school‘s Little Miss Talent?

+ Like she's in first grade and all and since she's a little ball of hyperness and competitiveness (blame Katsuki), she wanted to join a lot of things.

+ This was one of them and at first, Katsuki was ticked off on why it was a performance type competition (he wanted something physical or mental, smh for his standards).

+ On the other hand, Himiko was estastic and helped their daughter memorize the choreo and the lyrics (it was sing and dance that she chose as her talent) and for days and weeks, Katsuki managed to hear PONPONPON blasting through their house 70% of the day.

+ This was also the time their son more often than not hung out outside with his friends since he couldn't stand the cutesy music that kept playing 24/7 lmao.

+ So after some time, the day of the talent contest came.

+ I imagine most of their hero friends also came since their children were in the same school lol.

+ Himiko was in the crowd, with her DSLR in her hand since she wanted to record the whole thing.

+ Meanwhile, Katsuki was forced to come with their daughter at the back of the stage since she admitted to feeling nervous and didn't let go of her dad's hand ever since they left their car.

+ In other words, he was now held hostage.

+ So when her turn came up, she started great in singing and dancing the song although, midway (let's say 2:09 of the official PONPONPON music video), the power was cut off from the auditorium (there was a storm or something that day idk why Denki didn‘t volunteer to fix the outage) and so the music was cut and she was left standing there unable to continue her performance.

+ Nervousness came back and she was shocked but at the same time was starting to tear up because she wanted to win this competition.

+ But bad luck got the better of the situation.

+ So when Katsuki saw that her face was scrunching up and a tantrum was sure to follow, he ran behind her and starTED DOING THE DANCE AT THAT PART (you know the part where the backup dancer and also Kyary Pamyu Pamyu go clapping with their hands, but with Katsuki doing small explosions instead of clapping, think him doing that with a very serious but blushing expression) AND THAT WASN'T ALL.

+ HE CONTINUED SINGING THE SONG.

+ "Ano kousaten de!!" he was literally screaming while singing bc he's Katsuki ffs and also bc it was hard to hear without the mic and the people whispering when the electricity was cut off.

+ He caught everyone's attention including their daughter‘s who thought her daddy didn't care about the song and the choreo but all this time, he was watching her practicing and memorized it all (you're a nerd Katsuki, admit it).

+ So she brightly smiled and got back to her feet, joining her dad in singing and dancing while the crowd started to clap and wooh because the performance pushed through (AND THE PRO HERO DYNAMIGHT WAS DANCING ON STAGE, HOT DADDY WHO??).

+ Himiko on the other hand just grinned widely because not only was the performance saved but as she recorded this, she would have good material to tease Katsuki over.

+ In the end, their daughter won the talent contest.

+ They were worried that a parent joining may disqualify her but it wasn't in the rules so meh (Katsuki was damn nervous when the winners were being announced and was ready to kill the judges if their daughter did not get a place).

hi nina! do you have any other songs that you think cd would cover? i just really liked new perspective and i think ur music taste is rlly cool :3

d'awww!!! hi there, sweet pea! <3

tysm for your ask but, before you start reading ( because this message got VERY long ), i just want to let everyone know that i used this ask to explain some Very Complex Ravenstan/Callgirl Fake Dating Lore...so if you are interested in that, it starts towards the middle of this ask...it's a lil chaotic, but i tried to make it as interesting and clear as i could! no obligation to read, ofc, as always, but i did want to preface this ask with that info, so you know this one is

*Secretly An Important RM Lore Ask.*

but back to what i was doing ( screaming ):

— because aAAAAAAAAAA!!!! c': <333

i am not even joking, you guys, despite the fact that my fic is based almost entirely around Music, i avoided answering music-related asks for so LONG bc i was legitimately so nervous about it being negatively perceived or read for filth on here, which, i Know, is silly because it's my fanfic and what i say goes, i can't change my music taste anymore than i can change the way my dna loops, but...idk.

like, i feel like A Lot of people are self conscious abt their music taste, but my social anxiety/inferiority complex can get so gnarly that i actually get Nervous when people ask me about what kind of music i like and i never EVER sit shot gun in cars bc i am...scared to aux. :/

iiiiiit's...That Bad. ( nina, please get therapy. )

i also feel like people in this fandom can get Very Intense about what kind of music they associate with the boys/what music the boys listen to and are FRIGHTENINGLY QUICK to rip people to shreds over opinions that don't align with theirs or aren't obscure or 'cool' enough.

bc of that, i try to be Very Lowkey on this blog because the larger part of this fandom and the criminally insane level at which they escalate petty fights over canon/fanon, like to the point that they are frothing at the mouth and start doxing people...gives me Extreme Stress. which, in my line of work, i actually CANNOT have happen.

tldr; i want absolutely NO part of it and like my lil corner.

thank you for keeping it Safe. <3

AND THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING MY MUSIC TASTE!!! EEEE c: <3 THAT IS SO REASURRING AND HEALING FOR ME TO HEAR!!!! MUSIC TO MY EARS, BABY! LITERALLY! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THAAAANK YOU! *holds you* *squishes you* *kisses ur head*

istg, if nothing else the fact that i have a bunch of you rocking out to New Perspective and positively associating it with my fanfic means that i have done my job and that's a legacy i'm willing to die with.

i'm being so serious, i feel like if rm was a tv show, it would play as the outro to every episode...but like a nice, soft, raw version w/ ravenstan on acoustic guitar to contrast the hard ass cd cover of style by tswizz that i think would open every episode...smh, nina, please, pleease stop imagining your unfinished, crack-fanfic as a netflix og series. >.>

BUT!!! okay!!!! in vein of trying not to worry about the perception of my music taste or what other people want from me...tHIS IS A KIND OF CONTREVERSIAL TAKE BUT I TIED IT TO THE PLOT, OKAY?

so, as a little nina lore and for context, when i was in elementary school around like 4th/5th grade, i was listening to like a lot of early y2k bangers, ig. dirty little secret by all american rejects, hey there delilah by the plain white tees, girlfriend by avril lavigne core, etc.

( just to make you giggle, i also had a ps2 and there was a series of video games called singstar that were some off shoot of rockband/gh that had mics you plugged directly into the system...pls note my high score on sk8r boi really should be put in the guinness world records, like if you held a gun to my head and told me to sing that song, i not only would i fuck it up but i would LIVE, baby! better luck next time! )

...it was also around early disney channel times ( the disney channel games with the team colors...that was my OLYMPICS, bitch! ) and i had this Disney Pop Hits Vol...1? i think? cd i used to play on the prehistoric radio thing in my room and my favorite song on it was...

pop princess by the click five.

AND I KNOW!!! I KNOOOOOW!!!! controversial take, but i am sorry, THAT SONG FUCKS!!!! THAT SONG IS SOOOO AWESOME!!!!!

and i feel like when ravenstan was fake dating call girl during the great hate south park embark, cd covered it: i am picturing a less finger-bang, btr, disney channel esqe sound and more of a pop-punk, pedal to the metal, electric guitar type, edgy rockstar boy typa beat.

but Yes, i think ravenstan covered it or idk i really think that it was made FOR call girl. and it was BAD ASF. i also think bc tcf wrote that song about hannah montana ( iconic ), and bc call girl is basically the whole internet's e-girl bubblegum pop princess in my fanfic, it just...

makes...Sense.

am i making sense? do we see the vision? aka rs in his lil pants w/ the ripped red and black flannel tied around his waist, fallin to his knees, singing his heart out, pointing at her, winking? PPL DIIIIIIIIIED.

and by people, i do mean jerseykyle n bebe who were MAD AS HELL,

-- but also tapping their toe...smh.

it was both very cool and very annoying. RIP.

( ...do i have jersey and bebe make out during the pop princess call girl tribute as mlm/wlw solidarity? HEEEELP ICOOONIC *jk vibrating with stress and anger vc* barbara, i need you to do somethin for me don't ask questions, i'll explain later, It's Important sdks MESSY! )

BUT OKAY!!!! SPEAAAAKING OF THEM AND THAT AND CALLGIRL AND RAVEN OF CRIMSON DAWN DATING!!!! i wanted to give you some lore and some spoilery plot about that/them bc it is burning a Hole in my brain...i must discuss r.s. and call girl becaaaause

~Its....Complicated.~

ANYWAYS!!!! IMPORTANT PLOT TIME!!!!

so, for more context: i am currently working on another ask abt how ike found out that jerseykyle/ravenstan used to be dating and during that conversation in kyle's room about three days into the sp trip, CONCURRENTLY somewhere Else, ravenstan and call girl are getting ready to do some flashy PR thing like go on a date/get din, idk.

BUT RIGHT BEFORE IT: ravenstan and call girl are alone together, and ravenstan, who, i am not even kidding you, is sooo fucking Pissed that this is EVEN HAPPENING because kyle is super mad at him, was like you are Actually Dead to me, WILL NOT TALK TO HIM...

( which without spoiling too much -- is actually why ike can tell that somethin Fucked Up is happening because j.k. is super aggressive and loud and is not afraid to Fuck Your Shit Up...but has not laid a FINGER on raven of crimson dawn...and actually, seems to not even want to be Near him, barely acknowledges his existence, leaves rooms that he is in and is Radio Silent around him...WHICH IS TWICE AS SCARY AS J.K. YELLING AND TRYING TO KILL YOU. so, uhh, Not fucking...Good, you guys. ike was like...this is...not fucking normal. )

but again, he cannot tell kyle what is going on bc he might actuuuuallly get MURDERED??? uh???

anyways, in whatever secure, secluded space rae/cg are in ( its somewhere private, i pictured a dressing room of sorts, like a makeup trailer, somewhere they have to take pics ) stan is Extremely Straight Up with her and says something to the effect of:

"i have no idea what you think this is or what you want this to be or what they told you, but we are not dating and this...is NOT. Real."

and call girl ( aka wendy whose identity is a secret to EVERYONE, No One has seen the bottom half of call girl's face...Ever. she changes her wigs everyday, they are Very Elaborate and is always in a very high tech face mask that covers her face from the nose down and uses a voice modulator to mask her speaking voice...a mysterious queen ) oddly enough seems completely relieved by this statement and is like

*squints*

"don't worry, Emo Boy. feeling is mutual. like, no offense, but you are seriously...not my type. Ew. trust me, i don’t want to do this either but,

— I Have To."

wHICHSHDLSKDHLSD SHE GUTTED HIM HELP. he was *gigantic stan slow eye blinks in shock* like "right, okay, Ow. that was...Mean." kshdlksdls but then was "--but i am glad we...agree. i Also HAVE To. not because of publicity, it's...Deeper than that...i can't really ta--"

to which call girl, locking eyes with him, dead seriously, lowering her modulated voice is like...

"it's tenorman, right?

He Threatened You."

and r.s, gagged! Again!!! is like

"holy shit, he THREATENED /YOU/ TOO?!?!"

and call girl nods very slowly and starts to say

"he told me if i didn't do it he would..."

and rs with the same kind of mounting horror whispers

" — Kill Everyone You Love And Care About?"

which, at this point, folks, they are both like...

...WOAH.

bc they realize they are both stuck in the same torture chamber together, they Both got cornered into this really elaborate ruse and have to keep it up in order to keep the people that they love Safe and it's...A Lot. it...really is. but it's also sort of freeing and cathartic to knowing you are not alone going through what is pretty much the worst thing that has ever happened to you in your entire life.

i also feel like...there is this natural bond. this Energy between them. like they understand/see each other and feel...safe with one another.

and call girl, guard still up, dips a toe in uncharted water, and goes:

"well...since were partners in crime now and have to live a lie in public...i think we at least owe it to each other in private...

...to be Real."

she offers this bc they have reached an understanding, an impasse, a standstill, a draw of sorts. and there is a thick tension...as well as this crescendoing vulnerability that hangs the air with her ultimatum as they stare warily at each other, strangers, both wearing still wearing their masks, call girl physically in hers and stan in his metaphorical one doing the dark, raspy smoke and mirrors raven voice bc he is...not sure about her in the same way that she is...

...still not sure abt him.

( they are basically that one spiderman meme where both the spidermans are holding each other at gun point. ) and it's a huge Risk to indulge her request, but again...they both have everything to lose.

and no one...but Eachother.

so he indulges her very tentatively and counters:

"alright...then, tell me something Real, call girl."

to which she nods, closes her eyes and goes. "fine. my real name..."

call girl trails off, reaches up to tap the voice modulator on her mask, turns it off, reaches out her rhine-stoned, sequined, hot pink faux leather gloved hand out to shake his and in her real voice, says,

" — Is Wendy."

and this...is a Very BIG Deal.

again, no one has ever heard call girl's voice before. no one knows what her name is or Anything about her. she doesn't even preform live, she does virtual concerts and is basically this sort of mysterious, ai, vocaloid/miku internet personality that is very Carefully and elaborately Coded and ENCRYPTED to keep her identity Safe.

so her turning off her voice mod and speaking to stan, not as a fictional, larger than life computer-generated celebrity, but as a human being...is massive.

it's also very...Comforting to ravenstan.

who has not been himself...for a very long time. and it's not smart, it's not a good idea, but he decides to trust her and in turn,

in his real voice, says,

"stan. my name...is Stan.

It's Nice To Meet You, Wendy."

he shakes her hand and she shakes his.

she says, "it's nice to meet you too, stan." :)

and it feels...Nice. it should feel wrong, what they're doing, but it feels right, it feels fucking amazing to stop Preforming. she knows his name, she's seen his face...but realizes he still has not seen Hers and running on adrenaline, bolstered by a rare surge of bravery, chinks at her armor, or mask rather, and makes a motion.

literally.

bc he reaches up towards her face and goes, "oof. it's nice to hear your human voice; the dystopian robot voice was lowkey espantoso."

he laughs, it's genuine and super ugly, god bless him. so you Know he's being really real when he asks "but...if it's all the same to you. if were going to speak freely; i'd like to...see Who i am speaking to.

so can i, please, uh...see your Face? your whole face.

your...Real face."

and oof. this...is a little nerve-wracking for wendalends.

she's neeeever taken the mask off. ever. Ever. EVER.

For A-n-y-o-n-e.

but...she might never have the chance again and it is...really stuffy under there. so she Agrees and lets stan remove her face apparatus.

ravenstan does say "Wowza." HDLKSHDSl amazing.

he's also my boyfail king and says something very fucking stupid like

"sorry, you're REALLY Pretty. i was worried might look like deadpool under there." she smiles, it's beautiful. no one has seen her real smile before as call girl and thanks him. she goes on to apologize and is like

"thank you, stan. you're really sweet and i...am sorry i said 'ew'. it's not because you're ugly, you're kind of...Cute for a guy, actually? you have really nice bone structure and very kind eyes. it's just, when i said you weren't my type i meant Boys. in...general."

her voice shakes a little, she's never admitted this out loud before, not even to her girlfriend. but she trusts stan with the nice bone structure and dumb ugly laugh and very kind eyes, so she says

"i'm a...Lesbian.

i'm also Seeing Someone at the moment.

It's Complicated."

and stan is like, skhdlsd way too excited to talk about kyle, and is like

"okay, whew! i'm ALSO seeing someone! or well..." then remembers and is like oooof "well...i Was...seeing someone i guess. it's..."

my man is Depressed and is trying to change the subject because he realizes he actually can't talk about kyle because not only is cartman going to kill him if he does...he is also gonna freakin K!ll Himself because he's actually so sad that kyle currently hates his GUTS.

so he sighs, echoing her and admits "It's...Complicated." :/

he wants to hear something nice though, something real...and nice. because he is a romantico king. who believes more than anything...

in Love.

so he asks her what her girlfriend's name is. <3 :')

annnd i think she is About to say bebe's name...but realizes if she does, it will completely blow her cover.

like her ACTUAL Cover.

because stan knowing her first name and her what she looks like under the mask is one thing...but the second she says bebe's name, it's going to reveal that she is kyle's bebe's wen/wendyl which...is

Meeeeessy.

but she reasons ( as an intelligent, rational queen ) that regardless of how messy things get, her and stan are in this mess together and that the best time to make a mess...is when you are Coming Clean.

still...this is...very sensitive information. she’s not sure how he's gonna take it and needs some sort of collateral.

so she states her terms.

and call girl, who stan now knows is wendy, but not bebe's current girlfriend ( yet ) says "okay. i am going to tell you something, but in order to do it. i have to tell you...Everything. in exchange, i need YOU to tell me Everything. i am going to give you One Chance to do so willingly. if not...i do not care how untraceable you Think you are, i am very familiar with the dark web and i will find out everything i Need to know about you. and do with that information...What. I. Please.

...so /please./ promise me you won't tell anyone about what i am about to tell you...and then, tell me...stan...Something Real."

stan agrees and wendy goes into everything. comes out as trans to him and explains her origin story. ( i started to write everything in this ask but it got too long, i'll tell you all about call girl/wendy in another ask i have a couple in the box i can use, haha. ) she tells him pretty much everything ( it's a big therapy session in there ) up until this point, gaydhd ravenstan...manages to understand

Everything.

and when she finishes, true to the deal, she gently volleys the ball into his court, ( they are friends now, aw <3 ) and softly goes:

"okay...Your Turn."

and so ravenstan...who is Deeply Inspired by wendy...Wowza. he seriously thinks she is so fucking cool and ALSO A TRANS ICON??? HELLO? he feels v seen and heard and safe, so uh...jesus christ, he grabs wendy's hands, takes a veeeeeery deep breath and goes,

"so, i...

— Am DEAD."

LKHDSHSDLKDS HEEELP KSHLKDS

annnnnnd proceeds to tell her everything.

and i do mean...Everything.

they talk for the rest of the night basically, having this heart to heart, at the same time that, unbeknownst to ravenstan, jerseykyle and ike are also having a heart to heart....wendy and stan are platonic besties, they agree to keep each other's secrets as t4t legends stuck in cartman's fucked up marionette hell together, they agree to keep their crazy charade up while they try and find a way out/back to bebe and kyle, take some v convincing publicity pictures together ( i do think jk and bebe see them and want to die So Bad, it's not funny...bebe/jk or wendy/rs...choose your doomed broship. Fml. )

and that's...

Your Crazy Uncle Nina RM Lore Drop For The Night!

i hope you enjoyed it, haha. <3 please feel free to drop me a line in the ole ask box about it and ofc, as always, to ask me anything you would like! if you're still with me...after all this time. thank you so much for supporting me and enjoying my content.

Dylan Brady): i'll make no secret of it; i've been a sad little dog this past month. and this song is like PERFECT sad little dog soundtrack material (the whole ep is, and lots of laura's work if we're honest... but more on that later). there's this absolutely ice-cold novocaine hatred instilled in it, the kind of agony that stings the skin because the very action of having to exist as a physical animal hurts so bitterly. i'm really terribly obsessed with it and have also cried a lot to it and i really like the addition of dylan because while his part is short it's very good. links to this post also

House Of Pain - On Point: i lovvvve house of pain omg ^-^ their second album is kind of a cult classic and while idk if i'd say i like it better than the first, it's still real good. and this is a banger single. that horn riff? awesome. we did this one for videos night (which i am still planning more of!!) and it was fun. there is a little surprise slur moment in the last verse which is. y'know. but as far as the sound goes i think this is basically unparalleled, i could listen to songs that sounnd just like this forever and ever

Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely: did i mention that i was sad. bc i was. this was another song i turned to when lying in bed late at night and just really going through it. the idea of being able to disappear off to somewhere, anywhere that wasn't where i was...... well you get it. tears a gal up. it's almost like this is a good song on a good album or something

Madness - One Step Beyond: yeah okay a couple songs from the skaugust WILT stuck around. i just adore that fucking deep growly riff that comes in after the spoken intro, i can never ever get enough of it. and it's so danceable but still maintains that narstyness. good good shit i love ska so terribly much and especially the rockingest rocksteady beat..... of MADNESS

Nirvana - Blew: this should probably be higher tbh but it's close competition. despite remaining relatively unknown when held up next to something like about a girl, blew is SUCH a highlight from bleach (and i do really like bleach). the way kurt's voice lays over the main riff makes it so chunky and layered but it also feels dissonant, like it was accidental or improvised. every day i become slightly more of a nirvana fangirl.... there's worse things to be

Ada Rook - UNDERNEATH IT ALL: GOD i fucking love this album. it can be really dumb sometimes but it's so just. grrrrrrrrrh. ada rook is one of those musicians who just Gets It, i've often said that her music is the type of music i wish i could make. and the addition of ash nerve on this one creates that nice balance between abrasive screaming cyber rage and prettier clean sung choruses and harmonies. kind of the same effect the two achieve on angel electronics projects but i prefer the overall sound of this a lot

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - See Me: does anybody have the video of that weird as fuck animation with this song over it....... i watched that and was like idk what to do with this but the song jams i wonder who this is. and i found it in the notes and was like ahhhh that makes sense. the glizzard. and yeah idk the descending melody that kind of quavers around the lead line is just really otherworldly and takes me in right away each time i hear it. it's cool

The Specials - A Message To You Rudy: i feel i've said pretty much everythingg i wanted to say about this song. it's just one of the catchiest damn things ever

House Of Pain - I'm A Swing It: hey they're back!!! this one doesn't stick in my head as much as on point but again the sound is just immaculate and there's always so many corny-but-actually-really-good lines. it also always interests me how much everlast referecnes rock musicians and the like. he knows the audience lol

laura les/osno1 - nothing just hanging out: less of a song really, but still so representative of that coldness that represents me. none of the cemetary stuff is gonna be available on spotify, those are my local bandcamp files, and i don't have an individual upload of this track on youtube nor the time to create one, so i just put in an upload of the full ep. just listen to the whole thing it's really good and not that long. but yeah sorry lol

Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack: i think this appeared on a previous WILT but i mean. talk about the catchiest things ever!!!!

Crisis Sigil - Blood Semen Box-Elder: a favorite album cut from the new crisis sigil. this release my first proper exposure to the project and mannnn that shit is brutal. this one esp methinks. once again. rook music good

Nicki Minaj - Roman Holiday: was listening to this one because of worstsongever and being like whoever nominated this doesn't know shit. this slaps hard. i was never like especially a nicki fan but this just straight up goes. weird as fuck but that's kind of the appeal. if you want a REAL bad song, that will come later

The Front Bottoms - Au Revoir (Adios): no not this one!! well. maybe a bit. idk i like folk punk but never really cared about these guys that much? but i've met some people recently who do like them and was like yeah i could give this another spin. i do admittedly alwways think of the post that's like "this gif is silent but it still manages to sound like shit." it's not as deep of a song as it's probably supposed to be, but i still think there's something there. a lot of folk punk songs focus around character writing that acknowledge their flaws, including (and sometimes especially) the narrator and this is a good example without coming out and stating it. it piqued my inch rest

Roxy Radclyffe - Exemption's Dominion: i'll be real i don't exactly "get" what this song is about but it is freaky and cool. i was really interested to see the music video when it popped up in my subscriptions. the part of the song that does get stuck in my head is the little two-word pitchshifted phrases in one of the verses

Haggus - Uneducated Politician: someone recommended "mincecore" to me, and these guys in particular. weird as fuck sound but i think it's fun! maybe it's just the bad recording quality but the growls on this track in particular come out sounding reallll fucked up, which is what drew me to this selection in particular. still got a lot to learn about this whole scene but it's made it this far with me!

MC Boing - Car Song: tbh i don't tend to really like danny harle, i don't mind him but it's just not really my deal. this one got me, though, despite being dumb as all fuck. we are driving in a car car car car car car. mc boing indeed

Eminem - FACK: you did this to me, worstsongever (R.I.P.). it's annoying to me that i actually don't completely hate this thing.... it manages to be so stupid it loops back around to being funny for about a minute and then it just gets so old so quickly. but somehow still found itself stuck in my head :( many such cases

[pb-loves-owls]

mmm thinkin abt that old hexsquad again bc at this point it’s my comfort zone

raine singing to owl beast eda to calm her down and lilith ready to fight them if they try n kiss eda in beast mode. Darius holding her back bc he’s very sure that’s the furthest thing from their mind (he would be right). still he does say “owl beast can not consent”, making Raine blush and angry sing that that’s the last thing they wanna do. but then being mad makes owl beast mad makes them scared makes owl beast scared so they have to stay 100% concentrated.

It works eventually but Raine has to put a silence spell on Darius bc he tried to tell her that they wanted to kiss owl beast Eda. to which he replies 🖕😐 but in pg13

Alador asks Odalia to Grom but in a letter because he’s a shy boy. Odalia forces him to do it in a more “grand-gesture-y” kind of way.

Grom is pre-rats so Raine doesn’t have stage fright yet. meaning bump has zero reason to pass up Raine as grom royalty. This makes eda not ask them to grom out of fear of throwing them off their game. but Raine doesn’t even know what their greatest fear is.

my hc is that it’s being alone… mostly bc that’ll mean them forcing themselves in near isolation for the next nth years after their break up and edas requiem all the more painful.

Darius is tired of waiting around for Alador to take a hint so he asks Lilith to be his platonic grom date. except he forgets to add the platonic part so the whole day is Lilith trying very hard to find out how to tell nicely tell someone you only like them as friends. meanwhile alador is salty at about it and can’t understand why.

He and Darius start hanging out less and less. it doesn’t help that Odalia is monopolizing his attention. He makes excuses for her like “she’s going through a lot” “she’s under a lot of pressure” and “her parents are always fighting and it’s tough on her”. but like… those are valid reasons for lashing out but doesn’t excuse her behavior.

during the dance, he blows up at her and she yells at him and runs out. he ends up talking to Darius about it, who is still mad at him. but then is like “wait you just let her go out there on her own on grom night?” so darius is the one who has to find her and talk to her.

she’s crying and venting. He rolls his eyes at her mostly. but they’re all still friends and he can’t help but feel fond of her. so he says “look. you’re going through a lot. but alador is a clueless idiot. a very smart, very sweet and kind, clueless idiot. who obviously cares about you very much. but you gotta go easier on the guy or you’re gonna scare him off.”

she tells him he’s right and rushes back in and “forgives” alador after he says sorry for losing his temper. She does Not say sorry back.

Lilith finally gets what’s happening and calls Darius out on his shit, who then tells her that they’re happy together and he can’t get between that. Lily tries to tell him that “they’re so toxic that they could swim in acid and the acid would be burned by them”. but she can’t force him to do anything, so she asks him if he’d like to dance and they do.

The grom fight tho. Grom first takes the form of plant magic in a labyrinth, echoing HECK/IFWOT. then Grom locks into their mind and blinds and deafens them, causing them to panic. Eda is freaking out and wants to save them, but is held back by Lilith and Darius.

Raine drops to the ground and feels around. They feel the auditoriums linoleum and knows they’re still at school. They breathe in and out and smell their cologne and Eda’s shampoo. Then they touch their own throat and try to speak. they feel the vibration of their own voice. they use bard magic and whistle Grom off of them. and I really want their eyes to do the glowing thing.

either yellow or red, they’ll still look badass when they summon their violin and kick groms ass.

after the fight, eda and them hang around each other outside where they can still hear the music from the inside. They’re just talking at first but Raine keeps staring at Eda, and Eda at Raine. And Eda tells them that she really wanted to ask them out to grom earlier but didn’t because of them being grom royalty and all.

Raine takes this opportunity to ask her to go to grom with them— “as friends! of course as friends I mean we are friends you and I, me and you, I and you. best buds forever bbf’s for life!”

Eda rejects them and they go “okay yeah that’s cool too” trying not to cry. but thenn she goes “buuut I wouldn’t mind going as your girlfriend? that is- if that’s cool with you.”

they do a quick kiss and drag her back inside for the slow dances. ofc lilith and Darius give them thumbs ups for finally getting together.

Odalia owes Lilith, Darius, and Alador ten snails each for that because she bet they’d wait till after graduation.

[luffythinker]

This was just going to be about Bakugo but i started adding other characters in so now it's just me telling you headcanons about me and my friend's little my hero universe. (This is the lady Sero Au too in this Au The bakusquad is just a girlgroup Kirishima being the only guy he literally named and started it when it was just him, Kami,Sero and Bakugo adding Mina on and letting Jirou,Momo and Tokoyami in. he is the founder we started this thing from the beginning with alot of self indulgent things. Anyway, Bakugo strikes me as the type of person who would ride a motorcycle as soon as she can, i think you have to have driven a car for at least a year??? before you drive a motorcycle so i feel like Bakugo would be eager to get a car so she can get that motorcycle. Some of my car headcanons for Bakugo >i dont know how to drive and no nothing about cars i can't drive im too flinchy bc of accidents in the past<

BKG car headcanons: before getting the motorcycle

Her car is gray like a boring gray because it's probably her dad's or uncles old car

It's clean inside always, no eatting in this car the only exception is Eri and maybe sometimes Deku but Bakugo can eat in her own car extras don't get that privilege (the squad is allowed they just get yelled at to clean up their mess)

She plays loud music because she's hard of hearing (BC of her quirk i've headcanon Bakugo's quirk isn't so fit for her body - i actually have a unposted fic about this might get back to work on that- so the loud explosions give her hearing problems she has noise canceling headphones and hearing aids for daily life ) so it needs to be loud so he can hear it cause she thinks wearing headphones in a car is dangerous she's really not trying to upset people outside the car but it's not like she's blasting rap music she just blast whatever she likes, honestly this sounds dangerous either way lol.

def got into an accident with the car before and like a back part is hanging off or one of the lights don't work right

BKsquad + Deku car headcanons: this is a side quest yes Momo and Tokoyami are part of the BKsquad in this AU

Kirishima has a truck that is like those people who are like "Lets take my truck" and the truck is tore up from the floor up and everything is broken or falling off you have to slam it to make it shut the window wont open the bed of the truck is falling off held together by ducktape and a slat/wood plank he cut by himself Bakugo feels safe in this truck tho, she trust Kirishima's driving skills. Yo actually taught Kiri to drive. Yo is dating Tatami (Another thing, i headcanon Tatami to be Kiri and TetsuTetsu's sister) Yo taught Kiri how to drive very early teen hood would take him driving down straight roads and let Kiri drive.

Sero went to the dump with a few of the friends like Kami,Sato and a couple of others to drag a truck all the way home cause we ain't paying for no car we can fix it, fixed it up made it look clean. def is the one to always lose her keys so sometimes she hangs them on her belt loops.

Kaminari isn't allowed to drive bc i headcanon that she is like me very flinchy at the sight of on coming cars and cannot drive due to this, also Denki has been riding a skateboard to UA since she got here so shes perfectly fine either way.

Deku is the one playing rap music or honestly he just listens to the my hero opening his favorite song is merry go round it's his jam, Deku and Bakugo share his car sometimes and he gets in the car turns it on the music is blasting loud but it doesn't really bother him but it scared him once before. def has a mini van later on in life or just a van in general

Mina def wants a truck and probably put lashes on it thats so her its pink or leopard print and purple and pink

Jirou prefers to walk or let Momo drive her she doesn't feel safe in Kiri's truck

Momo had her fancy sports car imported and it sits in the UA parking lot, it's like super techy and she can drive like a champ, it has a autopilot mode

Tokoyami does not drive, driving is not where it's at, riding is where the party is, i don't think Tokoyami could drive with how dark shadow is *tries to grab the wheel DARK SHADOW NO!

I was not expecting this at all, let's just clear something: I have never touched a car beforejkfdkjdf I don't know how to drive and I don't know how cars worknk, so be patient with me if I don't get something <3

but I love that for you and your friend, love the idea of bakusquad just being girlies and kirishima, it's like barbies and adam

okay so I definitely agree Bakugo would be a motorcycle kinda girl, she would also be very angry in traffic with a car so let's check some of those hcs; bakugo is very particular about her things (like look at her dorm). I do agree she would be very meticulous about her car always being clean; the music is so her, i feel like she gives me goth/punk vibes so of course she blasts music as loud as possible [also please do work on that fic, it seems really interesting, I've heard other people theorize that the explosions affect Bakugo's hearing/health in general too, so it's nice to see that aspect being explored]

Not Kiri with the broken truckkfdfkj he really gives 90s vibes in those romcoms, the Shindo and Tatami really caught me off guard, I love how your (and everyone's) memories are so good, I have to google who some of those characters are all the timekfkldfk but i love that you see them as siblings

sero fixing a car/truck is sooo real it's just so her, she would be working on it for months saying "yall just trust the process"

me and Denki not drivinf love that for us

LET'S GO MERRY GO ROUND ENTHUSIASTS (I was so obsessed with this song, it was at my top5 on spotify for months when it was releasedkjdfjdf) I love that you think Izuku would blast rap music, I don't really see it but I also a lot of people don't see me as a rap fan (which i am!!) so it's lovely to see the contrast between how he looks, his mini van, and Tupac or Kendrick playing really loudly

mina definitely has a pink car, it's just how it is! Jirou is probably into bikes so she's a big advocate for bike lanes; i agree that Momo has an expensive car, comes with the rich family; Tokoyami would absolutely not drivekjdljf Dark Shadow would never let him have peace

alright, that was fun?? just two gurls who know nothing about cars talking about cars!!

[antmimicry]

physical therapy today.. ride is going to be hell. my neck and shoulder have been soo messed up (I went on a short bird walk like last week and I think I like.. did something, fucked up my shoulder somehow, bc of how I held the binoculars? wasn't a long walk bc I'm not capable of that but yeah :( really sucks bc it was fun but idk if I could even hold them at all now)

I think I might be having some shoulder subluxations at times?? might be totally wrong but like it just feels. really off sometimes. and then it pops or cracks in a way that's a lot more extreme or just weird-feeling than usual? (it's always popping cracking shifting, all my joints are, but sometimes it's like. Different.) I think I'm not great at identifying subluxations bc I don't think I get them a lot, but my main point of reference for dislocations/subluxations is. my knees. and when that happens to your knees you fucking KNOW lol so I think I'm expecting like even minor subluxations to be like extremely painful complete incapacitation? but like.. anyways what I call knee subluxations are actually like full dislocations, they just pop back in immediately (after I collapse) most of the time (with one very painful exception lol. that sucked) . I think maybe I'm actually having some more minor subluxations in my knee sometimes without knowing it (is it even possible to have like smaller subluxations in the knee or are the only options In or Out?? I'm too afraid to google it bc thinking about knee shit makes me terrified), like my knee just feels weird and I can't really put weight on it (or am too afraid to try) until I flex it around a bit and I can feel it pop/shift in a major way. (but like obviously not full dislocation level.. I can still move it after all lol).

no idea if that's true though. maybe I'm not having any subluxations and my joints are just being weird but in a non-subluxation way. genuinely idk

anyways I really hope my PT will have some advice or be able to help me somehow with my shoulder bc it's just like Bad for real. it's not just the normal joint pain shit something is UP. I don't think I have an impinged nerve or anything but I am getting some really weird sensations sometimes too

will be wearing my neck brace in the car (the soft one probably... don't think I'm supposed to wear a hard one even for something like that, but I wore one—idk why my mom had one but she did so that's cool—for a while when I was sleeping on a day when it really hurt and that thing fucking ruled). that should help a bit but honestly not much. at least I'm only a passenger since I can't drive lol but I can't take ibuprofen until after PT (or like. feel like I shouldn't, don't want to risk hurting myself without knowing it, need that sensation of pain to be safe... although it's not like ibuprofen even helps that much anyways lol) and since the drive there is an hour and a half and then there's the pt appointment itself.. and the ibuprofen won't start kicking in until we're almost home... and my shoulder and neck are already killing me and feeling tingly and numb and we haven't even left yet.. it's gonna be bad

think I'm going to download a collection of shirley jackson short stories to read on the way. maybe that'll distract me. really need to get like.. functional headphones so I can listen to music or podcasts in the car (I do NOT need my dad hearing the podcasts I listen to lol) bc with the current ones I have I can't hear anything with them, noise of the road just drowns everything out

[mekatrio]

and part two for episode one

- started applauding when seto finally spoke i love this piece of shit frog LOOK AT HIM. most useless boy in the world i love him. wait no i take it back he's actually using his powers this time around i forgot abt that. he's so awesome

i prefer this scene without seto bc it builds seto's reputation as a character that u dont pay attention to, but honestly its also very funny to have seto in this scene bc then you have kanoseto being two brothers who are doing fuck all. except bullying shintaro. basically the anime version of this

- also i forgot what seto had sounded like man he sounds great. love this voice actor for him

- lord kano is so irritating thank god hes in a timeloop cuz he deserves it

- why is kano the only one laughing at mary tripping. can seto react a bit at least

- the pacing of this scene is godawful lmao why did we waste so much time in shintaro's bedroom..... anyways

- so weird we dont see kanoseto's reaction to shintaro being held up by the throat. like in the manga we see kano's reaction to it which LOL is literally just 😐

also the fact that shintaro just stops mentioning ene like she is just Gone for the length of this scene until she conveniently shows up in the end like ok i guess. the store items dramatically falling with kano's face in the shadows is cool tho i guess. and i like this 2 frame shot of my kids

- jesus A LOT of shit is falling those girls are really putting their work in

- barely obviously that kano removed the restraints for shintaro lol. but oh well

- ohhh ene has been talking to him this whole time. i mean sure i guess.... thats a confusing way to show things. what. dunno why they couldnt hv shown her speaking to him throughout that sequence. oh wait i know why. cuz we spent 2 minutes on a dramatic opening and 6 minutes in shintaro's room and like 3 minutes walking to the mall.... u get the picture

- hai kido my girlie

also first mekatrio of the anime.... lfg!

- the background music is very very fun

- no shotgun sound to indicate shintaro just got shot at? seriously?

- really cool dream sequence. it was a good idea to make it so we cant hear ayano at all hell yes

- AND THATS IT! CUE THE DAZE OP

- am only realizing for the first time shes finally drinking her fated red bean soda

- oh right azami storytime. let me take a look

- oh ayano was the narrator for azami storytime! i didnt remember that. thats so fitting considering that ayano inherits azami's memories in the novels and manga. and maybe the song? whether she does in the anime i dont actually remember, but i do expect her to.

- do not understand why shaft decided to portray azami in a design more akin to her concept art:

left is mca's azami storytime portrayal of her, right is sidu's concept art for her. i wonder if what happened was that sidu gave shaft the designs + concept art of the characters and they mistakenly thought that the concept art was their designs as well. bc thats what happened with young mekatrio, theyre constantly dressed up the same way they were dressed in the concept art. except for seto, whose dressed up the way he was in Imagination Forest. ill add the pics of that when i actually watch that ep

- and this likely isnt intentional but this screen using saeru's colors... hehe

- BOOOOO this bluray rip doesnt include the fanarts that every episode had... smh.... i should look for those somewhere. ok i found it:

overall thoughts: man i wasnt expecting to but towards the ending i started feeling super nostalgic... it feel like its 2014 again and that im so happy and optimistic to see where this anime will go... aw.... the ayano dream sequence was so dramatic and good, and then the daze op, and then azami storytime and the next episode preview... man.... like i was reminded of all the exuberant optimism this fandom had at the start of this anime. man. this episode finishes on such a high note that it almost makes you think the rest of the episode was just as good. well it wasnt!

firstly this is bc of poor planning and bc jin had probably initially expected to be able to fit in mr2's plot into here, but considering we dont get that, the first two minutes of the ep couldve been reworked into hibihiyo's introduction, similarly to how the novels open with a hibihiyo prologue, and the first album features Kagerou Days pretty early. i dont remember how hibiya gets stuck into the Kisaragi Attention ep so that'll be interesting to revisit...

and ofc we spent too long in shintaro's room. unnecessarily long. this ep shouldve either 1.) ended at the introduction of the hostages, or 2.) skimmed the fat and moved it at a pace where the ep ends with momo and friends peering down on shintaro, similarly to the manga:

while still having the hostage situation Actually Make Sense. bc in this anime it made zero sense. while also looking very bad. well... that was episode 1 ig

too sick to draw or do anything else which means its the perfect time to watch mca and be a little autistic nitpicky bitch about it. planning to do a post like this per episode, this one's for episode One. well episode one part one bc nothing in my life is easy and i keep forgetting theres a fucking image limit for posts 🙄

- I HATE THIS FUCKING ANIME ok i needed to get that off my chest...... groaned so loudly at the first four seconds fucking... Church Bells and POLES?!?!? POLES?!?!!! i hate shaft's enviromental choices ok moving on

- how the fuck did i not realize that ayano's VA is rena ryuugu lmfao its all i can hear nowadays

- right theyre on a fucking clock... for some reason.... also honestly i dont like ayano's voice that much. like the voice is fine but i dont think it fits ayano's character

- also this clock sucks i wish it was like more More you know more gears more machinery like ep12 insanity ok wait. are shinaya 3d models here lmfao.. maybe?

- i like this line. saur mysterious

- hahaha.... the Kaien Panzermast

now that i think abt it i have no idea why its called kaien panzermast. like i what its referring to (the song siren thing thats telling kids to go tf home) but what the hell is a Kaien Panzermast?

- this scenery is near meaningless to kagepro literally just a whole bunch of nothing when i say i hate shaft's choices for this anime..... like what is any of this shit. also orange??!? orange of all colors..... god damn man

like yes ok its the evening BUT THIS IS KAGEROU PROJECT. GIVE ME MY RED AND BLUE!

-- this part is cool tho. a bit too heavy handed in the symbolism but i appreciate the gesture

- lol at this:

BECAUSE SHE DIDNT! not until 2017 lmfao. this makes me suspect that the revelations from mr2 were initially supposed to be in the anime. but in the end for whatever reason it couldnt fit itself there, so the only revelation we got was The First Tragedy Exists. and no elaboration.... now that i think of it, iirc me and many fans were pretty thrown off from this opening back when it first aired cuz this was like, the first time we've seen ayano act like this. wait. let me check my timeline

ok nvm lol. second time. first time shes ever like this is in the manga:

but anyways back in 2013/2014 before the LTM episode, there was like no context whatsoever for Why Is Ayano Like That. so that was a doozy

- damn can u imagine working on some songs writing a novel and getting these amazing voice actors to voice ur characters... ohhh i wouldnt know how to act

-HJEKHJSKDFHASJKDFH THIS LOOKS CHEAP AS HELL HELP ME

i mean thats um. one way to show a timeline getting thrown away... I Guess. ignoring the fact that Mary Has Long Hair (which she shouldnt), its a cool visual idea but the execution is um... hfjkssjk

- hehe

headphone actor mv on the left and mca countdown thingy on the right. holy shit they are near identical damn, i just thought they were similar but no, its practically identical. thats so cool T_T if only the rest of this anime was this cool.... whatever onwards i go

- shintaro's stupid futuristic high-rise apartment... i loathe thee

- the fuck is this

- first instance of shaft's trademark of putting random shit on the screen and im already annoyed its gonna be bad for me for the rest of this rewatch if i can even last that long. i know i will at least til ep 10 (11???) cuz i need to see baby mekatrio

- no aku benci lmfao shaft hates to animate so much they threw this story into the future so they could just conveniently project things onto shintaro's cyberwall hahaha..... i fucking hate this anime

- looks like shintaro was drawn by 4 different artists in these various shots that only span like 5 seconds

- damn in the anime its not even ene's fault that shintaro spilled the soda lmfao. thats all on him this time

- also shinene's voices are srsly perfect

- XX you say...... 🤨

- storyboarding sucks shit they went from flashback to not a flashback to flashback again my fucking god dude. the only reason i can make sense of any of it is cuz im rewinding every little thing

- literally no reason to add 'roomie' to this translation but it made me laugh so I GUESS

maybe i should hunt for the official crunchyroll subs. but im too lazy

- lmfao

text from Mekakucity Talkers 24, translated by x0401x. only difference from tht and the screenshot is that shintaro still has hair lol

- hm. i wish it made a bigger deal of shintaro leaving the house. yeah he threw a fit but i wish the actual stepping outside aspect was more dramatic yknow. like how Children Record emphasized it

- WHY IS THIS CITY SO EMPTY

- also curiously this episode is missing this sentence from shintaro abt someone rebuilding the city bit by bit which is in the novels and the manga, which is meant to foreshadow saeru's influence. but then again the first 17 manga chapters are taken nearly word-by-word from the novels so maybe thats all it is 🤷

- also it took like 6 minutes for shintaro to leave the house... theres other things being done ofc, establishing shinene's dynamics, quick exposition of how ene ended up with shintaro to begin with, and spilling soda onto the computer and leaving the house. but i feel like it wouldve been better if the anime stuck to what the novels + mr1 does, where ene blares a loud fucking alarm. that quickly establishes shinene's dynamic and easily leads to a So You Must Be Wondering How I Got Here type of thing, and then knock over the soda leave the house bam easy. instead the anime really took its time with like..... idk making shinaro look ikemen. yeahhh not the best choice, especially considered how rushed the last few episodes are gonna be. ok back to watching the anime

- also aku benci x2 like its only futuristic when its convenient which is soo fucking Lazy. theres literally no reason for this story to be set in the future. like all this city scenery is based off actual modern day Kashiwa its just... ugh. barely any care put into this anime at all

- this anime is cool sometimes

- reused this pencil texture from the start of the episode... wonder how many times ill be seeing that

- the fucking comedic timing of these terrorists lmfao. and right theyre clowns... for some reason....

- also dude ill still never understand why only their thumbs are the only parts ziplocked like what. also isnt that harder to animate... THIS STUPID ANIME

- this is a completely fair reaction to having kano shuuya speak to you for the first time

- no the fuck he isnt he hasnt thought of shit my god.

that comic person on here was not lying shaft really fucked up the order of events here bigtime. kano only speaks to shintaro after shintaro's done brooding.... also seto doing fuckall lol. ik he'll say smth in like 2 seconds but i do find it funny that we've seen him for like the past minute and he hasnt said shit

Cheongsan x gn!reader

summary: you lock yourself in the storage closet to protect your friends

warnings: swearing, fighting, mentions of blood, angst bc that’s all I know how to write :)

••••••

You were on the floor, back pressed against the cold tile of the music room as you tried to fight a zombie off with your hands. The broomstick you previously held as a weapon had gotten lost in the fight and it was getting continuously harder to keep the zombie from biting.

The plan was to make it to the rooftop of the school and wait for help. But with all the zombies outside the classroom it was impossible to get out without a fight. Taking a risk, your group decided the best option was to leave anyways. You thought it was the best idea too, at first, but the zombies proved to be way harder to kill, and all the noise created from fighting them off only attracted more to come.

You pushed at the zombie’s shoulders and face, trying to push them off but they weren’t moving. The noise around you started to go quiet as you tried not to panic, wondering if this was really how you were going to die.

Suddenly the zombie let go of its hold over you and contorted backwards before falling to the side with a push. Cheongsan was quickly kneeling next you you, asking if you were okay. He had stabbed the zombie’s back with the sharp end of the broomstick and pushed it off you, saving you again.

You nodded lightly and he helped you stand up. Your hearing was coming back, but you still felt like you were in shock.

“There’s no more in the hallway right now,” Suhyeok said looking out the classroom door, “so we have to go now.” He turned back to look at the group and Cheongsan nodded at him.

“Cmon,” Cheongsan said, grabbing your arm to pull you close to him as he moved toward the door. But the shock was starting to wear off and your whole body began to ache, you didn’t move.

“Y/n,” he said turning around to see why you weren’t following. You were still, looking down at your hands.

There was a small bite mark on the back of your right hand. You stared at it, feeling like all your emotions were hitting you at once and your hands began to shake in fear. The zombie must have bitten you while you were pushing at its face, and you didn’t feel it until now, having come back to your senses.

Cheongsan followed your eyes to your hands.“Oh shit…” he said, reaching out to grab your hand for a better look.

You stepped back, not wanting him to touch you, the rest of the group turning to look. Your eyes were glossing over, making your vision blurry and you laughed nervously. Your hand was soon red with blood. You looked back up to see them all staring at you.

“It’s fine right?” you asked them, tears filling your eyes. You swallowed hard, trying to keep yourself from breaking down. No one could do anything to help you now.

You knew it was not fine and that the time between being bit and turning was short yet you couldn’t think of anything you wanted to say or what you should do next.

Everyone was watching you intensely. You wanted them to look away, to leave, but you were so scared and selfishly a little part of you wanted them to stay. Unable to find the right words you just stared back at them, hoping somebody else would say what you all were thinking.

“Y/n,” Onjo said, trying to get closer to comfort you, but Suhyeok put his hand out to stop her. It hurt, seeing your friends now scared to be around you, but it made you realize what you had to do.

“You have to go,” you said turning to Cheongsan, “you know, before the zombies come back…or….” You looked back at your bite mark then covered it with your other hand, trying to act as normal as possible before looking back up at him, “there probably isn’t a lot of time.”

“Y/n, no,” he said trying to move closer to you again.

You took another step back and shook your head no. “Go,” you said again, “okay?” You looked around and everybody was still just staring at you. With each passing moment of silence you only grew more anxious. Looking at them hurt too much, so you looked back at your hand.

“Fuck,” you said sighing. The defeat was evident in your voice as you fully began to accept what was happening.

Suhyeok looked back out into the hallway anxiously. “If we’re gonna go, we-“ he started.

“No,” Cheongsan interrupted, his face wet with tears. He wanted so badly just to hug you, for you to stop moving away, and he felt an enormous amount of guilt for not being able to protect you.

“No?” Woojin questioned, “we’re just supposed to stay here and wait for them bite us too?”

“Go,” you said, turning to Cheongsan, “…please.” You pressed your lips together and looked to the floor, trying your hardest not to break down into full sobs. Your vision started to turn red. Now panicking, you remembered the music room had a storage closet. If you locked yourself in there you wouldn’t be able to hurt them when you turned, it would force them to leave. You looked over to the closet door then back at the group.

“Shit…” Woojin said, seeing your now red eyes and moving backwards.

You tuned and looked at the closet door for another moment before quickly going and locking yourself inside.

“No, y/n,” Cheongsan sighed, following you to the closet. His eyes were puffy with tears, but you had already closed door. “Y/n,” he wined, twisting the door knob repeatedly in hopes it would open.

You watched the door knob shaking from the other side.

“Open the door y/n,” Cheongsan begged, his words becoming sobs, “y/n open the fucking door!”

He started using his fist to bang on the door, pleading with each hit that he could get to you. You went and sat against the wall, sobbing silently as you hugged your knees to your chest. Your heart began to beat faster and you knew you didn’t have much time. You wished Cheongsan would just go away and you wouldn’t have to hear his cries.

“Open the door, open the door, open the door!” Cheongsan cried, doing everything he could to try and break the door with his body.

“Hey!” Suhyeok yelled, looking back down the hallway, but he was ignored. Cheongsan continued to hit the door while everyone watched. “Hey!” Suhyeok yelled again and Cheongsan finally stopped long enough to look over at him.

“They’re coming,” Suhyeok said calmly. All the noise had attracted zombies from other floors. “We have to go…now,” he said.

“No,” Cheongsan cried, grabbing the door handle, “just go without me.”

“Cheongsan,” Onjo said, but he shook his head and continued holding onto the door handle.

Suhyeok looked down the hallway again. Two zombies from the floor above had heard Cheongsan and were now running tward the classroom. Suhyeok looked over to Cheongsan who was still refusing to move. Sighing, he decided closing the sliding classroom door was their only other option, they’d have to wait it out and try again. He pulled the door halfway when it suddenly stoped. Suhyeok pulled at the door but it kept jamming.

“It’s not closing,” he said causing the group to turn and look over at him. He stopped trying to close the door and stood to the side before picking up the bat he had been previously using as a weapon.

The room was quiet for a moment, then the sound of the zombies down the hallway became loud enough for them to hear.

“Shit,” Woojin said, walking over to Suhyeok and checking down the hallway himself, “shit I…there’s like 10…oh fuck, more are coming, Cheongsan I swear to god if we all-” he shook the sliding door, not believing that it wouldn’t close, “Damnit!” Everyone looked at the door in fear. Without warning Woojin went up to Cheongsan and pulled him away from the closet door. “Stop, let’s go before you get us all killed,” he said, looking around the group to get them to follow.

“No,” Cheongsan said, shaking his head and trying to get out of Woojin’s hold.

Seeing Woojin struggling, Suhyeok went and grabbed Cheongsan’s other arm with his free hand. “C’mon,” Suheyok said sternly, “we can’t afford to lose you too.”

Cheongsan looked over his shoulder at the closet door. You hadn’t said anything since you went inside. The silence hurt him, and he felt helpless, there was nothing more he could do.

Suhyeok let go to Cheongsan to look out the door again. “I can stop the first two long enough for you to run,” he said turning back to the group, “we’ll meet in the staircase okay?” Everyone but Cheongsan nodded.

Suhyeok looked down the hallway for another moment before running out. “Go!” he yelled to the others, signally them to get out of the classroom while they could. The group started to exit nervously. Cheongsan, feeling guilty for getting them into the situation, untimely went to help Suhyeok.

From the closet you could hear them fighting and their footsteps from running. Soon everything was quiet, and you were alone.

Eddie munson headcanons

Not proofread,copy and pasted from my notes

Headcanons for being a singer and dating eddie, Steve and Billy are coming soon.

--------

Eddie Munson:

this boy loves your voice so much 

Has tried recruiting you into Corroded Coffins more than once 

You made a song dedicated to him 

He almost fainted because of it 

You were looking at him the whole time during the song 

You love this idiot 

And you sometimes get high with him 

But you usually don’t and just watch over him to make sure he doesn’t accidentally Kill himself 

“Baby I love you-“ “I love you too, Eddie.” “But baabbyyy.” “Yes?” “I really really love you.” 

Eddie is pretty emotional when high Ngl 

Anyways the kids and cult love you 

Although you’re all he ever talks about now 

You’re around often bc you still go to school 

It’s weird since Jason is always trying to flirt with you 

You don’t like it at all 

Your friends are happy for you but are annoyed because now a lot of your songs are love songs for Eddie and it’s just-

They’re happy, just annoyed. 

Although they don’t miss you singing A Man without Love on repeat

So they’re kinda contempt with this 

But anyways they threatened Eddie that if he hurt you, he would feel their wrath <33

When you met Wayne, he knew you would be good for Eddie. Your decently calm personality had balanced his usually energetic one. 

Although he went with the “What are your intentions with my boy?” 

You stared at him as if he hadn’t heard the new album of love songs dedicated to said nephew. 

He has 

Many times 

Eddie wouldn’t stop blasting them from his room and van for weeks 

Wayne knew every song and the lyrics and he didn’t know how to feel 

On one hand, Eddie found someone he loved and that someone loved him dearly 

On the other hand, he didn’t know if he could stand hearing it again.

But he likes you 

You’re like another son to him 

It’s not uncommon to see you passed out on Eddie’s chest in the living room late in the day 

Or to see you two asleep on the couch at like midnight while some random show plays 

It’s odd for Wayne at first 

Seeing Eddie so

Loving 

Towards someone 

He knew you were the one for Eddie when he saw you softly singing to him when he was having a nightmare. 

“Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars,” you held Eddie close to you, watching as he slowly started to relax again. “Fill my heart with song and let me sing forevermore.”

All sleep was gone from your eyes and system, all your attention was on your boyfriend. 

“You’re all I long for, all I worship and adore. In other words, please be true. In other words, in other words, I love you.” 

You didn’t notice that the door had opened slightly. 

But that morning, you did notice the grateful looks that Wayne gave you once he saw how happy Eddie was.

you love him 

He loves you 

His uncle loves you like family 

He’s expecting you two to get married soon <333

But anyways 

The first time he went over to your house to meet your parents, it was absolute chaos. 

Apparently your band usually stays at your place and you all do everything to annoy the others. 

He walked in on you sneaking on the drummer with your guitar in hand. 

“sWEET CAROLINE, BA BA BAAA-“

You’re an idiot 

But now you’re his second idiot in the family 

Your parents and Wayne agree that you two were basically made for each other,

But back to dating Eddie 

Dates usually consist of going to concerts, making more music for both your band and Corroded Coffins 

Sometimes he’ll take you to Lovers Lake 

You enjoy coming to his campaigns 

Apparently you had taught your band how to play it, 

But it was a surprise to see you walk into the club and sit on Eddie’s lap 

He loves when you sit on his lap 

You usually do during a campaign and you don’t want to leave him 

While the others are deciding what type of attack or what to do, he’ll smother you in kisses 

But he does that either way

You saw Dustin gagging when Eddie kissed you in the middle of his sentence 

Neck kisses are a must 

Forehead kisses 

Everywhere. 

You go to his concerts when you can 

He goes to yours 

He’ll take the kids with him 

Erica decided that she likes you 

You became another dad to the kids, 

Eddie introduced you to Steve, Nancy and Robin 

You and Robin now team up to bully Steve 

But in a loving, Platonic with a capital P way. 

You and the girls have nights where you have fun but to the others it seems like you three are planning to commit murder 

You’re Robin’s new wingman 

But they all agreed you and Eddie are both a power couple and annoying af sometimes 

With being a singer, you often leave for concerts but you put it on hold for school. 

You being with Eddie gave his hand more recognition and publicity 

So there’s a lot more fans 

Who knows, after graduation you two may end up going on tour together 

We do love ignoring canon <333

Anyways 

You love Eddie and Eddie loves you 

Nothing will ever separate you two 

<333

Eddie my love

➳wc ;; 1.2k (oh my god. what is wrong w me.) 

➳ a/n ;; or my bakugou brain-rot that never goes away. thanks for being my comfort character, you fucking gremlin. forgive the silly title. 

♡ always makes little adjustments to the environment for you. he’s observant to a fault so if there’s something even a little off and it happens to bother you, he’s trying to work around it. 

♡ good at playing guitar but not good at reading music. he can throw something together if you give him a chance but he’s not good at trying to recreate someone elses memory. he’s not like.. musically gifted either but he likes how guitar sounds 

♡ thinks about getting a lot of piercings in his ear because he thinks they’d look cool but is kind of too nervous? the idea of a needle going through his skin is a ick. when you start dating, he drags you to his appointments lol - won’t admit it but he thinks he looks so hot when he gets them. takes a bunch of selfies <3 

♡ needs to be moving constantly. can’t sit completely still to save his life. when he listens to music, he moves his head. sometimes he just runs his thumb over his fingers. 

♡ really, really bad at talking. not in the sense he can’t communicate (that too) but he just likes listening in conversation. rarely adds his own thing. but when he does - always accidentally says something super meaningful 

♡ enjoys subtle physical touch because it is literally intimate he melts inside. a hand on his forearm or shoulder. your legs over his lap. small things that show how comfortable you are. 

♡ likes being held cause he’s a big ass baby lmfao 

♡ wont admit it but enjoy when you choose pretty or colorful bandages for his cuts he won’t himself but it’s like keeping you in his pocket wherever he goes.  

♡ really needs you to find him attractive dslksjk it’s not that he ever thinks he’s particularly ugly. but he didn’t really assign importance to his appearance at any point in his life, yet now he puts in a scary amount of effort. readjusts his hair so much more, makes sure his clothes fit good. fixes his fuckin’ face lol 

♡ likes chewing gum a lot and always has a pack on him. really proud of how big he can blow bubbles and will be a little sad if you’re unimpressed. 

♡ is overly sentimental about things you’ve made him - especially if it’s something super dumb. you drew him a silly little sketch of him in a frog hat? it’s in his wallet behind his id. freaks out when he thinks he’s lost his wallet 

♡ LOVES phone calls. yes he still hates talking. but the way his face looks when he listens to your voice. eyes half-lidded, shamelessly smiling - it’s so tender and so lovesick. 

♡ terrible first grader hand-writing. he tries to write them for you in the beginning of your relationship (to be romantic or some shit) but they’re so incomprehensible pls. if he focuses on it - it can be legible but most of the time ... yea no. 

♡ doesn’t favor tea or coffee but prefers tea if he has to drink one. 

♡ crazy good at eyeballing measurement. even in baking. once made a perfectly good bread without weighing anything and doesn’t get why that’s so wild. 

♡ has the phone on his text set to be bigger even though his eyes are fine. 

♡ lets you do the layout thing on his iphone and decorate as you please. says he doesn’t care but when he sees you made it hero themed/fit with his aesthetic - he got so red it was so cute. 

♡ hates shopping in store. will still always go with you because the one time you went alone a store clerk hit on you.  

♡ so practical. he started couponing when he was in his early twenties like an old man. checks the news and weather the night before, every night. never misses doctors appointments. 

♡ shit at any form of visual art. drawing, painting etc - cannot do it to save his life. but he tries. his hands shake when he tries to draw hearts for you 

♡ blows the eyelashes off your cheek super gently whenever he notices. he’ll like.. take your face in his hands and blow so softly like he’s gonna hurt you. 

♡ used to agree to make pinky promises with you as a joke. now though? automatically holds his pink out for you to take it. straight up pouts if you don’t. 

♡ you two have a song and when it comes on, he’ll sing it back to you. any other time? any other song? he wont. but he always sings your song even without realizing, just mouths it. 

♡ enjoys when you put your hands under his shirt and just leave them there and hug him like that. skin to skin contact is elite but only from you. 

♡ hamsters adore this man. they just do. 

♡ draws frowny faces on your eggs with hot-sauce 

♡ soul leaves his body when you play with his hair and scratch his scalp. the tension in his neck literally disappears and he just sighs that shit relaxes him like crazy 

♡ the first time he says i love you, you’re tying his tie for his first hero event. you’re telling him to that the color looks good on him and you’re smiling. it honestly it just slips. he went on to win an award that night. 

♡ his favorite memory of the two of you was when you were trying to leave the grocery store one afternoon. it was raining heavy as shit. you pulled him in under your clear umbrella and just stood there. he doesn’t know why but that means a lot to him. 

♡ cares a lot about his dads approval on his work specifically. him and his dad have a really specifc bond and he actually admires him quite a bit. 

♡ nothing makes him cry like “im proud of you”. especially when it’s for something small. it’s just something he didn’t hear enough in a sincere way. 

♡ likes fruit flavored sweets over chocolate (generally needs something to do w his mouth cause it helps him think. bad oral fixation) so he keeps little candies on him 

♡ shit at video games. terrible at them with the exception of mario kart? for some reason. 

♡ always loses his keys 

♡ stutters every!single!time! he tries to compliment you. it’s been YEARS. 

♡ takes a melatonin gummy before bed and always drinks a glass of water 

♡ buys you flowers and keeps them too. like does the upkeep on it and replaces them if the wilt. suggests pressing them to keep them for longer. 

♡ lowkey cries really easily. he just gets overwhelmed w his feelings some times and it makes him cry even if he doesn’t want too. you and the bakusquad are sworn to secrecy over it though 

♡ wears his ring around his neck on a chain bc it’s easier to show off. 

♡ naturally good at doing hair! 

♡ likes sneakers but wears dr. scholl's because he walks a lot and is on his feet for most of the day w his job. just being careful. 

♡ loves u a lot <3
