#bc it's going to bug me and i refuse to take that energy to sleep with me

[svtskneecaps]

a list of timestamps, for no reason :)

thesis statement : No, what blue did tonight and what red did the last two nights are not the same.

disclaimer: this is not a judgement of right / wrong, this is a glorified compare and contrast paper.

a TL;DR is available at the top, immediately following the keep reading link (which i hope, for your sake, is still there).

for each vod i have compiled the time stamps first, and then under the heading "notably" have compiled and compared them.

this is the most toxic i will allow myself to be.

TL;DR:

Blue team on Day 4 took 2 seconds from first task claimed to last. Red team on Day 2 took 5 minutes 14 seconds from first task claimed to last, and on Day 3 took 42 seconds.

Blue team on Day 4 was vulnerable in the area for 2 seconds before claiming their last task. Red team on Day 2 was vulnerable in the area for 8 minutes 31 seconds, and on Day 3 was vulnerable for 12 minutes 10 seconds.

The time blue team spent getting situated before logging out in global is not counted in this as being vulnerable because it is not a viable strategy for an entertainer to waste 4 hours of their limited time camping global to ensure no one is logging out.

Red team claimed their first global task on Day 3 with 13 minutes until the server closed. On Day 4, Etoiles and Roier arrived to stop blue team from applying the same strategy with 15 minutes until the server closed.

Blue team's actions on Day 4 did not leave them open to any reasonable retaliation efforts once Tubbo logged out. The moment he logged back in, the tasks were as good as complete. Unless another content creator metagamed, they would not be able to stop him.

Red team's actions on Day 2 and Day 3 did leave them open to retaliation. They were not fast, they often did not have the items they needed crafted in advance and spent time in sight of the global task dome crafting the items. If a team had been waiting for them to try this at the global task dome as Etoiles and Roier did for Blue team, that team could entirely have succeeded in killing them or ruining their plans.

The global tasks on Day 4 were already functionally blue's 4 hours before they were claimed. Even if the disaster hadn't affected global, the way it was supposed to, the only thing left would have been revenge. There was no preventing it once Tubbo logged out.

The global tasks on Day 2 were open to reclamation for an hour after red team claimed them. By Day 3 blue team was aware of red's strategy and had a full 12 minutes (at a predictable time! see below) in which they could have attacked red and stopped them.

What blue and red team did was not the same.

Below are the time stamps I used to get this data and draw these conclusions. I've included links to vods for verification purposes. These links are not future proofed.

November 7th, 2023: Day 4 of Purgatory

TubboLIVE's VOD:

1:47:20 : Tubbo logs out of the server, behind the blue "contracts" NPC. He has 15 minutes 32 seconds of server time remaining.

5:50:23 : It is 3:48:52 am in Tubbo's time zone. Tubbo shows the clock on his screen. There are 11 minutes and 8 seconds until the server closes.

5:50:49 : Tubbo loads in, behind the blue "contracts" NPC. It is 3:49:41 am. This is the first moment the game is visible on his screen. He has 15 minutes 03 seconds of server time remaining.

5:50:50 : Tubbo claims the first of the global tasks.

5:50:51 : Tubbo claims the last of the global tasks. It is 3:49:43 am.

Notably:

Functionally, tubbo was standing behind the blue NPC, invincible, for 4 hours 3 minutes and 3 seconds

There is a 29 second period of server time that I can't account for.

The total time it took for tubbo to claim every global task after loading in is 2 seconds.

The cooldown for every global task before it can be reclaimed is 10 minutes. In this case these ten minutes started at 3:49:42 and 3:49:43 am. The first moment any of these claimed global tasks can be reclaimed is 3:59:42 am, with 18 seconds until the server closes.

Etoiles's VOD:

4:56:08 : With some leniency, this is the first clear view of the blue "contracts" NPC and the spot Tubbo is "standing" shown on Etoiles's stream.

*(the blue NPC comes into view at 4:56:06 but whether Etoiles would have seen Tubbo there is dubious enough that I have opted for a later time stamp)

4:56:12 : Etoiles and Roier enter the global task dome. They are standing directly to the left of the red NPC; on the opposite side as the blue NPC. The spot Tubbo is "standing" is clearly visible on Etoiles's stream. Etoiles has 10 minutes 40 seconds of server time remaining. There are roughly 15 minutes and 30 seconds until the server closes*.

*(Time calculated roughly using Tubbo's log in message; this is not exact)

4:56:17 : Roier is standing in front of the blue "contracts" NPC.

4:58:03 : Without leaving global spawn, Etoiles disconnects to get a buffer on his time limit. Remembering that there is a disaster coming, he immediately re-logs to avoid the combat logging penalty. Roier does not disconnect during this time.

4:58:18 : The first frame of the game is visible after Etoiles relogs. Etoiles has 8 minutes 53 seconds of server time remaining.

4:58:45 : The quicksand disaster starts, affecting global spawn despite admins having informed Etoiles previously that disasters did not affect global spawn.

5:00:08 : The disaster ends.

5:01:17 : Tubbo logs in. There are roughly 10 minutes 11 seconds until the server closes.

Notably:

Roier is standing three blocks away from Tubbo's log-in point (effectively, three blocks away from Tubbo) at 5 minutes before Tubbo logs in.

Were Tubbo logged in, waiting physically at spawn, Etoiles and Roier would have been able to initiate combat 5 minutes and 5 seconds earlier. Both had plenty of time on their server counters to participate in this combat, albeit Etoiles would have been kicked before server close. Roier would not be (source: Slime's vod, 2:45:05 and on. There is no disconnect message for Roier before the server is closed at roughly 2:45:08).

Were Tubbo logged in, waiting physically at spawn when Etoiles and Roier arrived (at roughly 3:44:37 am in Tubbo's time zone, 15 minutes and 23 seconds before the server closed), and had claimed all global missions at that time rather than risk dying in combat, the missions would have been able to be reclaimed at roughly 3:54:37 am, with about 5 minutes and 23 seconds before the server closed. This is 5 minutes and 5 seconds more than the actual time.

November 5th, 2023 : Day 2 of Purgatory

This is the first day red has used this strategy.

Cellbit's VOD:

6:52:27 : Cellbit arrives at the plaza outside the global task dome (Carre is already here; he wasn't streaming so I don't know when he arrived).

6:52:49 : Cellbit enters the global task dome. He backtracks to the right of the global task dome, and sets up a crafting area to craft items for the tasks somewhat out of sight of the dome. He is 96 meters away from the dome.

6:55:34 : Cellbit re-enters the global task dome.

6:55:44 : Cellbit claims the first global task for red team (electrolytes). The cooldown is 10 minutes 41 seconds.

6:55:49 : Cellbit claims one global task for red team (radiation medicine).

6:55:55 : Cellbit claims one global task for red team (campfires).

6:56:04 : Cellbit leaves the global task dome and sets up a second crafting area to the right of the dome after losing the first. This area is in full view of the dome, and is roughly 61 meters away.

6:57:40 : Cellbit dumps every item in his inventory except for iron and minecarts and a shield into a chest (he is functionally defenseless).

6:58:18 : Cellbit re-enters the global task dome.

6:58:23 : Cellbit claims one global task for red team (minecarts).

6:59:12 : Cellbit claims one global task for red team (diamonds).

6:59:49 : Cellbit gets his sword out of the chest (he is no longer defenseless).

7:00:58 : Jaiden claims the last global task for red team (rails). The bananas task remains unclaimed.

7:01:01 : ElQuackity is visible outside the dome on Cellbit's stream for the first time. Cellbit chases him.

7:04:34 : Cellbit kills ElQuackity, putting red team in the lead.

7:48:07 : The server closes.

Notably:

Red team is physically present, visible, and murderable / stoppable at the global tasks area for 8 minutes 31 seconds.

Red team takes 5 minutes 14 seconds to claim their global tasks.

The cooldown on these global tasks leaves at minimum 36 minutes 28 seconds to reclaim, maximum 41 minutes 42 seconds to reclaim before server close.

If a team were to have come up to the dome during the 8 minute 31 second period, they would have seen the team and could have attacked or stopped them.

There is a 2 minute 9 second period where Cellbit literally does not have a weapon in his inventory.

If a team were to have come up to the dome while the red team was still crafting the global quest items, they could have attacked and prevented the team from crafting the items and forced them to retreat without claiming those goals.

November 6th, 2023 : Day 3 of Purgatory

This is the second day red has used this strategy.

Cellbit's VOD:

3:39:11 : Cellbit sees Bagi on the bridge to global. There are 24 minutes and 2 seconds until the server closes.

3:39:49 : Cellbit enters the global dome, standing just to the right of where the red NPC is on November 7th.

3:40:24 : Cellbit exits the global dome to craft the water bottles needed for the global task.

3:42:58 : Cellbit crafts the final water bottle needed for the global task.

3:43:28 : Cellbit, Foolish, and Carre re-enter the global dome.

3:44:15 : Cellbit and Carre exit the global dome to inspect Bagi's body. Foolish exits the global dome to use the crafting table.

3:45:36 : Cellbit and Carre re-enter the global dome.

(There's a few more entrances and exits from the dome during the following period, though they stay within the area marked with Bagi's body, the global NPCs, and the crafting table as corners : Never much more than 61 meters away and never out of sight of the dome)

3:49:45 : Cellbit sends the message "hey guys we are about to deliver global tasks you should come!" There are 14 minutes and 18 seconds until the server closes.

3:50:39 : Cellbit claims the first global task for red team (tea leaves). There are 13 minutes and 26 seconds until the server closes.

3:50:59 : Carre claims one global task for red team (gas masks).

3:51:01 : Cellbit claims one global task for red team (hot cocoa).

3:51:09 : Cellbit claims one global task for red team (water bottles).

3:51:12 : Cellbit claims one global task for red team (backpacks).

3:51:21 : Carre claims the last global task for red team (tea). There are 11 minutes and 52 seconds until the server closes.

4:03:13 : The server closes.

notably:

Red team is physically present, visible, and murderable / stoppable at the global tasks area for 11 minutes and 28 seconds before they turn in any global tasks.

Red team takes 42 seconds to turn in all of their global tasks.

The cooldown on the global tasks leaves at maximum 3 minutes 26 seconds of time to reclaim, and at minimum 1 minute and 52 seconds to reclaim.

If a team were to have come up to the dome during the 11 minute and 28 second period, they would have seen and could have attacked red team.

If a team were to have come up to the dome in the 3 minutes 47 seconds between red team arriving at the global dome and red team crafting all the water bottles for the global task, they would have seen and could have attacked red team.

ellie w. hcs :3

bc im seeing them everywhere and i need to put in my 2¢. thank you. (also not proofread :P)

⋆ biggest hayley kiyoko fan for like 3 years (the intro to ‘girls like girls’ was her ringtone when she was 14). would beg joel to take her to random record stores that they passed by just to see if they had any hayley kiyoko cds.

⋆ because of joel, she listens to a lot of 70s-90s dad rock. 

⋆ can’t drive for shit. like literally she’s not allowed to drive without her glasses

⋆ she needs glasses btw. she doesn’t wear them because she’s already too much of a loser. but when she does where them, you tease her endlessly about them. 

⋆ can and will sleep on the floor whenever prompted. no blankets, no pillows needed. just her and the floor.

⋆ isn’t allowed to drink any sort of energy drinks on account of a previous incident that had to do with about 3 cans of redbull and 2 large cans of the ‘Java Monster.’

⋆ isn’t allowed to own small pets (like gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc.) because she’d definitely forget about them. 

⋆ owns big dogs. great danes, newfoundlands, irish wolfhounds, mastiffs, st bernards, YOU NAME IT, SHE HAS IT (or has had it)

⋆ when she’s older, i feel like she’d be like one of those white people who has 192793999 dogs for no reason 

⋆ since her mannerisms are so much like joels, you guys argue playfully all the time about how things should be done, often bringing others into it too. 

“jesse, tell her!” he flips her phone screen around to reveal a very tired jesse, “it’s 1AM, ellie-“ 

“TELL HER!” 

⋆ i feel like at random times, she’ll just grab your boob(s). i don’t know why and you’ve never said anything about it, so she hasn’t stopped…… very handsy….

⋆ audibly goes “honk honk!” almost every time she gives ‘em a squeeze.

⋆ she’s a really sloppy kisser. not like boy-sloppy, but like the hot, messy, girl sloppy bc that sounds better and honestly i think her kisses would be the best.

⋆ she was one of those kids who’d eat dirt and find bugs all the time

because of this, she’s the designated bug killer/bug-getter-outter…. idk

⋆ she’s the worst drunk you know.

like literally sssoooooooooo messy oh my god. but you love her nonetheless :)

she’s soo clingy, and, touchy (like more than usual), but also much more emotional and sensitive than usual when she’s drunk or when she’s sick.

⋆ ellie tends to be quite difficult when she’s sick. BUT! you make it work bc you love her and she loves you :>

when you bring ellie her favorite drink from her favorite coffee shop, you literally have to fight her to be able to get out the front door. when you get up to serve her lunch, you’ve got to peel her off of you because she refuses to let you leave her side. when you go and get the medicine she says she doesn’t need…. you guessed it, she fights for you to stay in bed next to her.

“babe, what if i die right here, when you leave- like- BABE PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME-“ she bewails, crossing her arms and huffing at the sight of you leaving her.

⋆ when you catch her playing her guitar, she sometimes gets all shy and plays the wrong chords n stuff. 

“don’t LOOK! >:(” she says, gripping the body of her guitar, glaring in your direction.

“oh!- okay” you say, throwing your hands up in a playful manner, giggling. 

⋆ but the times where she’s not shy about playing in front of you, she’ll ask you if you want to play.

“do you uh- maybe wanna play? i could teach you” she suggests, gesturing toward the stringed instrument.

but then after, she’d tease you about your finger placement :(

“i said the fourth fret, girl, not the second, or, the third!” she says, in between laughs.

“well fourth from the top or the bottom?!” you scoffed, looking at her, still puzzled.

she knows your trying your best but it’s still fun to poke at you when she can >:)

constructive criticism is appreciated !!!

MINOR dirty jokes/references in a few but. not explicit.

Splendid: And what did we learn, Fliqpy?

Fliqpy: Tackling someone isn’t the correct response to being asked a simple question.

Splendid: Today at 7 am, Shifty poured a Monster energy drink in his coffee, said "I'm going to die" and drank the whole thing.

Lifty: I watched Shifty brew his coffee with Monster instead of water. Three cups in two hours. I think he ascended into the astral realm.

Splendont: The survivability of the human race never fails to amaze me.

Splendont: What are the hardest things to say?

Shifty: I was wrong.

Lifty: I need help.

Splendid: Worcestershire sauce.

Lifty: Shifty's refusing to wear his glasses!

Shifty: Lifty, look, I wore the glasses for a day. My eyes are much better now. Watch.

Shifty: *points to Splendont* Splendont.

Shifty: *points to Flippy* Flippy.

Shifty: *points to Splendid* Sasquatch.

Shifty: *speaking Spanish*

Lifty: I know, I know.

Splendont: You speak Spanish?

Lifty: No. I just know the phrase, 'this is all your fault' in every language Shifty speaks.

Splendid, sweating: Flippy, there’s something I need to ask you-

Flippy: Finally! You’re proposing!

Splendid: How’d you know?

Flippy: Splendid, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner.

Flippy: I even picked it up once.

Splendid: What do you guys do when you're stressed?

Flippy: Try and calm myself down!

Splendont: Sleep.

Lifty: Get myself into even more stress, so that the first reason for my stress gets cancelled out.

Shifty: I don't.

Splendid: We'll talk about this later.

Fliqpy: Fine, I won’t be listening.

Shifty: And what do I get out of this? 

Splendont: I will give you a dollar. 

Shifty: What do you think I am? A chump? I would never do it for a dollar! 

Splendont: How about two dollars? 

Shifty: You got yourself a deal.

Shifty: Come on, Splendid! How any times do I have to apologize?

Splendid: Once!

Shifty: ...No.

Lifty: You're a lying piece of shit!

Shifty: Oh yeah? You're the idiot that thinks you can get away with everything you do, WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!

Splendid: I'm leaving and I'm taking Flippy with me!

Splendont, gathering cards: Aaaaand that's enough Monopoly for today.

Splendont: *casually taking four stairs at a time*

Shifty, falling behind, taking two stairs at a time: Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fu-

Shifty, sadly: That's the yeast fucking.

Shifty: This game's hard as hell.

Lifty: Me when I'm alive.

Shifty: I'm talking about Undertale, you emo bitch.

Splendont: Subs are so fun to play with. All you have to do is hint at what you might do, back them into a corner with a look, or grab their wrist in a certain way and they're a wide-eyed mess.

Fliqpy: What the fuck kind of Subway are you going to?

Splendid: Substitute teachers deal with so much shit.

Splendont: Guys.

Flippy as a child: I can’t wait to grow up and have cool adventures!

Flippy now: I can’t wait to go to bed.

Splendid, smugly, after security arrives to escort Shifty and Lifty out: So, do you wanna walk out of here or do you wanna be carried out?

Shifty, in defeat: Let’s go.

Lifty: Wait.

Shifty: What?

Lifty: I’d kinda like to be carried out...

Flippy: Everyone thinks I'm this soft cute person but I'm not!

Splendid: Flip, you cried for an hour after stepping on a bug yesterday.

Flippy: It had feelings! It was probably going home to dinner and I killed it!

Splendont: ...It was a bug.

Flippy: It was a BEETLE, and its wife is definitely worried sick, wondering where it is, and I really don't get why you all think I'm so sentimental because I'm not!

Splendid: ...

Splendont: ...

Flippy: Stop looking at me like that!

Splendid: Hey Fliq, I’ve got an idea for how to solve this.

Fliqpy, pulling out a shotgun: Yeah?

Splendid: Wh- No! That’s not the idea, Fliqpy!

Splendid: You have to apologize to everyone.

Fliqpy: Unfuck you, or whatever

Shifty: I have a plan but I need your permission.

Splendid: Since when do you care about getting my permission?

Shifty: Oh, I don’t care. I just want to blame you if it goes wrong.

Shifty, young and naive: I hope something good happens

Shifty, now: I hope whatever bad thing that happens is at least funny

Splendid: How did none of you hear what I just said?

Splendont: I’ve been zoned out for the past two and a half hours.

Lifty: I got distracted about halfway through.

Shifty: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.

Nutty: Whaddya call a fish with no eye?

Sniffles, not looking up: Myxine Circifrons

Nutty:

Nutty: fsh

Flippy: I relate to Belle because she loves to read books and loves people for their souls.

Shifty: I relate to Tinkerbell because she needs attention or she dies.

Fliqpy: Don’t worry, I have a few knives up my sleeve.

Splendont: I think you mean cards.

Fliqpy, pulling knives out of his sleeves: No, I do not.

Splendont: Weird. All my shirts are disappearing.

Lifty and Shifty: *wearing Splendont’s shirts for the 5th time in a row* Spooky. 

Splendont: Does anyone have any questions?

Disco Bear: *Stands up* Okay, well I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’ve been going through a lot lately.

Splendont: That’s not a question.

Disco Bear: And I know you’ve often wondered: “Who is Disco Bear, really?”

Flippy: Nope, never.

Shifty: Until February, I thought your name was Jasper.

Disco Bear: You know, there are times when I look out these windows, and I know you’re all thinking, “What makes the measure of this man?”

Petunia: Oh my God, you’d better be dying!

Disco Bear: Look, I’m telling you all, with pride and excitement… and a lot of pride, about the new and improved Disco Bear. Flips, give me a beat!

Flippy: Sorry, what?

Disco Bear: When somebody asks for a beat you just, you don’t ask a lot of questions. You just get down on it.

Flippy: Oh, you want, like, a syncopated thing or, like, a vibey thing?

Disco Bear: Just do it. Hmm? *Disco Bear sings ‘80s pop rock song about being Bisexual*

*All the tree friends stare at him*

Disco Bear: Oh, come on. You guys aren’t weirded out because I’m bisexual, are you?

Giggles: No, we’re weirded out by the fact that you interrupted the gathering to tell us that.

Splendont: Anyone have questions? Besides Disco Bear, who seems to think that every group gathering is about him for some reason. 

Flippy: *Having an existential crisis* Do you know… what it’s like to be afraid of yourself?

Lumpy, thinking about that time he ate an entire family sized bag of doritos in one evening: God dude I sure do. 

Fliqpy: A spoonful of Nutella counts as lunch, right?

Splendid: Fliqpy, that will kill you.

Fliqpy: I���m only allergic to like four things in it.

Splendid: SPLENDONT!!!!

*somewhere else*

Lifty, terrified: What was that?!

Shifty: That was the call of someone who is very pissed and on a mission to fuck someone up.

Shifty: *writing a letter*

Shifty: Dear Santa,

I’m writing to let you know I’ve been naughty…

And it was worth it you fat, judgmental bastard.

Splendid: When’s the last time you slept?

Lifty: Uh… a few days ago, I think.

Splendid: A few- how many?!

Lifty: Uh… *starts counting on fingers* I need more fingers…

Splendid: What you need is sleep!

Sniffles: Nutty, are you high?

Nutty: Am I what?

Sniffles: High.

Nutty: Hi.

Splendid: You often use humor to deflect trauma

Fliqpy: Thank you

Splendid: I didn’t say that was a good thing

Fliqpy: What I’m hearing is, you think I’m funny

Splendont: Okay, truth or dare?

Shifty: Truth

Splendont: How many hours have you slept this week?

Shifty:

Shifty: …Dare

Splendont: Go to bed.

Shifty: I don’t like this game.

Fliqpy: I’m going to take you out

Splendid: Great, it’s a date!

Fliqpy: I meant that as a threat.

Splendid: See you at five!

Lifty: You’re the love of our lives and our best friend, we would do anything for you.

Splendont: I want you to eat three meals a day and have a decent sleep schedule.

Shifty: Absolutely not.

Pop: Why did you give Cub a knife?

Fliqpy: He felt unsafe.

Pop: Now I feel unsafe.

Fliqpy: Sorry.

Fliqpy: Want a knife?

Disco Bear: *out for a stroll* It’s a beautiful day…

Disco Bear: *looks straight at the camera* but not as beautiful as me.

Flippy: Shifty, are you okay?

Shifty: Can’t I just smile because I feel like it? 

Lifty: Splendid tripped and fell down the stairs.

Flippy: Okay, yeah, I LOVE Splendid! I have loving feelings for Splendid. But does that mean I am IN love with him? No-

Flippy: Oh my God. I’m in love with Splendid.

Flippy: *to Pop and Disco Bear* Why didn’t you guys tell me?

Pop: We thought you knew.

Shifty: Lifty and I have the kind of brotherly chemistry where we finish each other’s-

Lifty: -sentences.

Shifty: Don’t interrupt me

Splendid: You’re on speaker. Behave.

Fliqpy, over the phone: Or what? You’ll spank me?

Splendid:

Splendont: Who’s the evil twin?

Lifty: *without hesitation* Shifty.

Shifty: *shrugging* Eh.

Shifty: *reading an eye chart* E, H, 4, M, potato, coffee mug, smudge, middle finger, smudge, the rest are all smudges.

Splendont: Oh my God, you drove us here.

Shifty: Not to worry, I have a permit.

Splendid: This just says "I can do what I want”.

Splendid: Answer your phone

Splendont: Wait a minute, I can’t find my phone

Splendid: Understood

*5 minutes later*

Splendid: You’re a terrible person. You know you’re killing me. You’re killing your brother, Splendont.

Splendont: Yesterday, I overheard Lifty saying “Are you sure this is a good idea?” and Shifty replying “Trust me,” and I have never moved from one room to another so quickly in my life.

Splendid: I’m not so sure you’re stakeout material.

Shifty: I’m a chronic insomniac, I was born for this.

Lifty: May luck (and this picture of Shifty eating shredded cheese at 3 in the morning) be with you.

*playing twister*

Splendont: Right hand red.

Splendid: *ends up on top of Flippy*

Flippy: You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

Splendont: I stopped spinning like 15 minutes ago. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't notice.

Lifty: A girl just asked me out.

Shifty: Oooohhh free dinner!

Lifty: Shifty, I don't even like girls.

Shifty: You like dinner. Let's go.

Cub: What’s it like being tall?

Cub: Is it nice?

Cub: Can you reach comfortably for the cupboards?

Flippy: We live in constant fear of the short ones who, in my experience, will climb 4 chairs, 2 boxes, a small coffee table and 6 oddly placed stools to get what they want.

Shifty: It was one time!

Splendont: What did you two do?

Lifty:

Shifty:

Splendont: You’re not in trouble, I just need to know if I have to lie to the police again or not.

Splendont: How late were you up last night?

Lifty & Shifty, in tandem: Me?

Splendont: No, not you two. You stay up late all the time.

Splendont, to Splendid: You.

Lifty: I can’t tell if you’re a genius or just incredibly arrogant.

Shifty: Well, on a good day, I’m both.

Splendont: Ooh, somebody has a crush.

Splendid: Pfft, I don’t have a crush on Flippy. I just think he’s cool, it’s not like I stay up at night thinking about him.

*Later that night*

Splendid, very much awake: Uh oh.

Nutty: *walks to cabinet, removes oreo box, takes half a sleeve, throws empty box out* Hi!

Sniffles: Hey- what are you doing-?

Nutty, shoving an oreo into his mouth: I am saving space :D

Splendont: I love them both, but how do I propose to two people?

Fliqpy: Two different restaurants, one person at each restaurant. Twice the dessert, twice the applause.

Splendont: Won’t people think it’s weird if there is a third person just sitting there, though?

Flipqy: I saw someone feed their pet peacock crème brûlée from their mouth at the French place on the corner last week: I think faux third-wheeling at an engagement is the least of your worries.

Splendid: Shifty...

Shifty: I can tell by the tone of your voice that you are disappointed. Alas, I must further disappoint you by affirming how little I give a fuck.

Lifty: You deserve a reward for putting up with us.

Splendont: You two are my reward.

*meanwhile*

Flippy: You deserve a reward for putting up with me.

Splendid: True, you can be really difficult at times.

Disco Bear: Are you a painting?

Pop: What-?

Disco Bear: Because I want to pin you to a wall.

Flippy: OH GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY YOU WANTED TO HANG HIM OR SOMETHING-

Nutty: *is visibly upset*

Sniffles: Nutty, what happened? I haven't seen you like this since you found out Candyland wasn't an actual country.

Splendid: Do you ever think before you speak?

Shifty: Sure. I think “wow, that’s hilarious” and then I say it.

Lifty: We were helping Flippy write his vows. But he kicked us out because everything Shifty said was inappropriate.

Shifty: How is “Splendid I love your sweet ass” inappropriate?

Splendont: Hi, sorry I’m late. I was doing a couple of things and got distracted.

Shifty: I’m “a couple of things”.

Lifty: I’m “got distracted”.

Lifty: Good morning.

Flippy: Good morning.

Splendont: Good morning.

Splendid: You all sound like robots, try spicing it up a bit.

Shifty: MORNING MOTHERFUCKERS!

Cuddles: Yeah, we’re best friends, but I’d fuck you if you asked. 

Toothy: What?

Cuddles: What?

Giggles, without looking up from her book: He said he’d fuck you if you asked.

Lifty: Let's all agree that going up the stairs on all fours is actually the best experience on earth.

Shifty: Conversely, going down the stairs on all fours is actually the most terrifying experience on earth.

*Fliqpy and Splendid texting*

Fliqpy: Come downstairs and talk to me please. I'm lonely.

Splendid: Isn't Splendont there?

Fliqpy: Yes but I like you more.

Splendid: If someone offered to give you 500 dollars to compensate for you being ugly, would you take it?

Shifty: I'm not turning down a free 500 dollars just because someone has poor eyesight.

Flippy: Think you can unlock the door for us?

Shifty: Sure, I just need a couple of things. Splendid, can I have your credit card?

Splendid: Sure, just make sure not to bend it.

Shifty: Thanks. Now Splendont, break down the door!

Splendid: Huh!?!

Sniffles: Damn, the power went out.

Nutty: Don’t worry, I got this.

Nutty: *shakes rapidly and starts to light up*

Sniffles: What-?

Nutty: I swallowed a glow stick!

Sniffles, on the verge of tears: WHY WOULD YOU-

Shifty: If I'm extra sarcastic with you it probably means I'm flirting with you or you really annoy me and I can't handle your crap... have fun figuring out which one.

Lifty: Shifty and I were crossing the street, and this man drove by and honked at us.

Splendont: What did you do?

Lifty: He chased him to the next red light, and reached into his window, and-

Shifty: *walking in* Who wants a steering wheel?

Flippy: Hold the fuck up.

Splendid: Excuse me?

Flippy: I said hold the fuck up.

Splendid:

Flippy: I’m the fuck up, hold me.

Waiter: What would you like?

Nutty: Bring a milkshake with two straws.

Sniffles: *blushes*

Nutty: *puts both straws in his mouth* Watch how fast I can drink this!!

Fliqpy: *Takes a sip of milk and gags*

Fliqpy: Oh my god, is this expired?

Fliqpy: *Takes another sip of milk*

Lifty: Shifty, wake up. You fucked up big time.

Shifty: lifty...

Disco Bear: *about to hit a pothole*

Pop: to the left!

Disco Bear: take it back now y’all

Disco Bear: *hits the pothole straight on*

Splendid: Aren’t you supposed to be asleep?

Shifty: I’m supposed to be a lot of things but I live to disappoint.

Shifty: I typed ‘bitch’ into my GPS and guess what? I’m in your driveway

Splendid: It’s two into the morning

Shifty: Vroom vroom motherfucker

"I feel like I want to murder someone and also I want soft pretzels."

— Fliqpy

Fliqpy: Here’s a tip if you’re bleeding.

Fliqpy: Apply garlic to a freshly opened cut or burn to immediately intensify the pain.

Fliqpy: Hope this helps!

Splendid: I assume you realize that this kind of idiocy will not be tolerated in this house.

Shifty: Is there any kind of idiocy you would be more comfortable with?

Shifty: So what time does the judgmental express arrive?

Splendont: *Looks at the clock* Splendid gets home at two.

"I wasn't hurt that badly. The doctor said all of my bleeding was internal. That's where the blood's supposed to be."

— Lumpy

Flippy: who could possibly love me when I am a terrifying monstrosity

Splendid: *stretched out on the table in front of him with a rose between his teeth* well

Fliqpy: I don’t need friends! I’VE GOT KNIVES!!!

Fliqpy:

Fliqpy:

Fliqpy: I’m… out of knives.

Lifty: You know what I’ve always wondered? How does tall people like you actually sleep at night when the blanket can’t possibly cover you from your shoulders to your toes?

Splendont: Lifts. It’s four o'clock in the morning.

Lifty: So you can’t sleep, huh?

Lifty: …is it because of the blanket?

Pop: is something burning?

Disco Bear: Just my burning love for u ;)

Pop: The kitchen is on fire, Disco

Splendid: You know you can die from that, right?

Lifty: *smoking a cigarette* That’s the point.

Shifty: *drinking alcohol straight from the bottle* We’re trying to speed this up.

Flippy: *eating raw cookie dough, nods*

“I think I’ve spent too much time around Shifty. I’ve also probably spent too much time sharing his genes.”

— Lifty

Splendid: FOUR MONTHS!

Flippy: What’s he talking about?

Splendont: It’s not that big of a deal.

Splendid: YOU STOOD BY AND WATCHED ME WATER A FAKE PLANT FOR FOUR MONTHS!

Nutty: There are some pretty useless inventions out there: the pet rock, the baby mop, diet water, even a spoon with a lid.

Nutty: But what’s the most useless?

Nutty: The resealable function on a bag of Oreos because do you actually think these are gonna go back into the cupboard? *laughing maniacally as he eats an Oreo*

Disco Bear: You’ve been really stressed, so I thought I would take you to a spa day, just you and me.

Fliqpy: A what day?

Disco Bear: A spa day.

Fliqpy: What is this word, “spa”? I feel like you’re starting to say a word and you’re not finishing it. Are you trying to say “spaghetti”? Are you taking me for a spaghetti day?

Shifty: Do you think I can fit fifteen marshmallows into my mouth?

Lifty: You’re a hazard to society.

Fliqpy: And a coward. Do twenty.

Lifty: Shifty? You just drove through a stop sign without stopping.

Shifty: I'll stop twice on the way back.

Shifty: Life could be worse, Lifty.

Lifty: Life could be a lot better too!

Cop: You ran a red light.

Shifty: So did you, hypocrite.

Cop: I was following you.

Shifty: That was dumb, I'm a terrible driver.

Cop: Get out.

*A half-asleep Splendont stumbles into the kitchen to get a glass of water and sees Lifty and Shifty huddled over a phone, watching something and intensely whispering to each other. He moves closer to listen.*

Shifty, hissing: Are you crazy? They have a single female servicing a large group of males. That implies an egg-laying species!

Lifty, arguing back: How stupid can you get? I’ve told you that they’re mammals!

Shifty, no longer whispering and on the verge of yelling: Then how the fuck do they have such a large number of individuals? They’re clearly reptiles!

Lifty, actively yelling: For God's sake, Shifty! Papa Smurf has a beard! Of course they’re mammals!

Splendont: *immediately swivels on his heel to go back to bed* 

Fliqpy: I have so much energy, I want to run a marathon or commit a crime... which should I do?

Splendid: Please don’t get arrested.

Fliqpy: No promises! <3

Shifty: Why not both? Get creative!

Fliqpy: Wonderful suggestion, thank you.

Splendid: Please don’t encourage him, Shifty.

Nutty, peeling a banana: May I take your jacket, sir? Hahahaha.

Sniffles: Do you think other people can’t hear you?

Splendid: Lumpy, are you drinking… drinking hydrogen peroxide?!

Lumpy: It says H2O2! That means it’s the sequel to water!

Fliqpy: I apologize for saying 'fuck' in front of Cub.

Pop: You just said it again.

Cub:

Fliqpy: I am not a role model.

Lifty: GET BACK HERE YOU DUMB FUCK!

Shifty: LET ME RUN FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS!

Shifty, proudly: I slept.

Splendid: Is that so much of a rare thing that you have to say it?

Pop: I called you like ten times! Why didn’t you pick up?

Disco Bear: *remembers dancing to the ringtone*

Disco Bear: I didn’t hear it.

Lumpy: When I get Doordash I order 20 Cheeseburgers at a time and heat them up throughout the week so that I don’t have to pay the delivery fee multiple times.

Splendid: I hope you understand how food poisoning works.

Lumpy: I hope food poisoning understands how I work. I've never met a burger I couldn't eat.

Lifty: I don’t think we can mansplain, manipulate, or malewife our way out of it this time.

Shifty: *cracks knuckles* Manslaughter it is!

Lifty: My back hurts.

Shifty, walking into the room: Take the spine out.

Splendont: Name something you believed in as a child that you no longer do as an adult.

Lifty: Myself.

Splendont: *Turns on the kitchen light*

Shifty: *Sitting at the table, eating bread*

Splendont: It’s four in the morning.

Shifty: Turn the light back off.

Fliqpy: How’s practice going?

Lifty: Terrible. I want to stab everybody there.

Fliqpy: Okay, just don’t get any blood on your clothes.

Lifty: …you shouldn’t be condoning this.

Fliqpy: Don’t tell me how to live my life.

Fliqpy: You were wise to seek help from the world's most deadly weapon.

Fliqpy: It's me.

Sniffles: Coca Cola can remove rust from metal, imagine what it’s doing to your body.

Nutty: Pfff, getting rid of the rust, idiot.

Sniffles: THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!

Cuddles: Hmm... I've been drinking soda and my body's rust free... not sure where you're getting your facts from...

Lifty: Shifty, if you don't shut up I'm going to throw myself out of the van.

*click*

Lifty: DID YOU JUST TURN THE FUCKING CHILDRENS' LOCK ON?!

Disco Bear: We both look very handsome tonight.

Pop: You know, if you'd just said that I looked handsome, I would have said, "So do you."

Disco Bear: I couldn't take that chance.

Nutty: Hey guys, I’m making french toast sticks in the oven. I’m gonna take a quick nap, so wake me up in 5 minutes to flip them over.

*5 minutes later*

Sniffles: Nutty it’s been 5 minutes, time to flip your sticks.

Nutty: snnnzzzz...

Sniffles: NUTTY YOUR STICKS!

Shifty: I didn’t even realize how sarcastic I was being. It’s starting to become a problem, I think.

Splendid: You need to stop swearing so much.

Shifty: Shut the fuck up.

Splendid: Yeah, that's not how you do it.

Shifty: Alright sorry. It's just that it's hard not to swear. The words just creep up on me when I least expect it.

Splendid: Now now, don't be like that. Just replace the swear words with 'beep' and you'll be fine.

Shifty: Shit the beep up.

Splendid:

Shifty: SHUT, DAMMIT! I MEANT SHUT!

Splendid: That’s illegal, right?

Shifty: Why do you care? Are you a fucking cop?

Splendid: No-

Shifty: Then shut the fuck up.

Cuddles: I was voted “friendliest classmate” in high school.

Mime: I was voted “most likely to become a clown”…

Nutty: You think that’s bad? HA! I was voted “most likely to get rabies”!

Splendid: Shifty, I need some advice.

Shifty: You need advice from ME?

Splendid: Yeah, frightening, isn't it?

Giggles: The moon looks beautiful, doesn’t it?

Toothy, looking at Giggles: Yeah… but do you know what’s more beautiful?

Giggles and Toothy in unison: *sighs* Cuddles

Fliqpy: *banging a pen on the table out of frustration*

Splendid: Stop that. How would YOU feel if I banged you on the table?

Fliqpy: I—

Fliqpy: I don’t know the correct answer to that question.

Lifty: I am going to cry. I’m going to cry until I can no longer physically cry anymore because all the water in my body is gone and I die from dehydration.

Splendid: Are you okay?

Shifty: Did you actually just ask him that? Like, you need that to be answered otherwise you won’t know?

Splendid: According to the footage here, you shook the vending machine and when the shake alarm went off, you punched the glass and broke it.

Shifty: …I was hungry.

Flippy: Splendid and I got married!!

Shifty: Don't share your personal problems with everyone.

Lifty, texting Shifty: Shifty there’s a moth on the outside of the bathroom door can you get rid of it?

Lifty: Pls hurry because I’m going to cry

Lifty: Shifty

Lifty: Shifty

Shifty: Shifty is dead. You’re next. Love, Moth.

Flippy: I don’t think the therapist is supposed to say ‘wow’ that many times during their first session with a client, but here we are.

Lifty: So when are we gonna tell him?

Splendont: Just give him a minute.

Shifty: *Pulling on a door that clearly says push.*

Shifty: I love cooking breakfast. It makes the whole apartment smell like bacon.

Lifty: That’s true, but it also smells like fire and panic.

Shifty: You and the smoke detector need to get off my case.

Splendid: *out cold on the ground*

Lifty: Oh my god, do you think he's okay?!

Shifty, holding a bucket of ice water: Who cares?! *dumps all of the water on Splendid’s face*

Fliqpy: How many vampires do you think have been hit by a car backing up in a parking lot because the driver couldn’t see their reflection?

Splendid: I’ve never considered it but you’re really shining light on what’s probably a very serious issue.

[bloodycassian]

darkness defined - 

az or cass x reader idk if this makes sense or not but here we go, either az or cas POV where reader (their mate) was stuck under the mountain with rhys and doesn’t come back bc she is still locked in the dungeons (rhys just assumed she died, he doesn’t know she is still alive)  Switch to readers POV, a few months later where they think their mate and their family (the night court) has abandoned them bc nobody ever came looking for her. Reader is like on the verge of death and uses her last energy to send a pulse down the bond. Switch back to az or cas POV  who are basically freaking out with guilt and anger and worried-ness. Im sorry it’s super long don’t feel pressured to write this anytime soon idk if it even makes sense  

DONT APOLOGIZE FOR BEING SPECIFIC! I LOVE WORKING WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF PLEASE DO MORE LOL

Cassian was a wreck. From the moment Rhys came home alone, and until the end of time it seemed to be. Azriel sighed, watching his brother down his second bottle of alcohol. His eyes were red, face gaunt and pale. The circles under those tortured eyes looked more like bruises. 

He hadn't talked to Rhys much since the news came that you were gone. Cassian had practically blown the roof off the house of wind, then disappeared for two weeks. The only reason Rhys had let him was because Az followed, far behind just to make sure he wasn't going to do anything drastic. 

Azriel watched his brother circle the mountain, only to have to turn away. Wards made by Helion himself refused entry to anyone while the mountain was still being evacuated of Fae. He glared daggers at the people streaming outside the shield. His heart was a painful stab in his chest constantly. His mate.. gone. He refused to believe it. And Azriel saw the denial there, plain as day. 

Azriel had only stopped him once. When he packed a bag and started his flight to Hybern. He earned a black eye and a verbal lashing for that, but it had saved Cassian from going on a suicide mission.

After a month of being out, he went to his brother. Rhys refused to ask Helion to lower the shields around the Mountain, and finally Cassian seemed to give up. He would have gone to Helion himself, but the wards around his court prevented him from doing so. Rhys was torn up over the entire experience of under the mountain, but losing you was one of the worst parts. He would never forgive himself for losing his brother's mate. 

Azriel watch his brother's eyes get more and more dull. Watched the bottles stack up. Rhys wasn't around much, busy regaining control over his city, getting updated. And keeping an eye on Spring Court.  Cassian sighed when the bitter liquid hit his tongue. He drank like it was salvation. Like it would lead him back to you. Plus, it helped him sleep. It was the only time he could sleep without seeing you, without feeling that pull - the command his instincts gave. "Find me, find me. I'm here. I love you. Please."  He often escaped to the cabin. To not have to talk to anyone, and to keep Rhys from stealing his bottles from him. Cassian was convinced Rhys was saving them to drink for himself. That's where he found himself flying, bottle of booze in hand. The guilt a lead weight in his stomach. 

The door shut, and he finished the first bottle in an hour. 

Mor appeared beside him, took the second bottle from his hand and had a long drink herself. He smiled drunkenly, showing too many teeth at her. He wasn't sure if she was actually glowing or if it was his eyes squinting too much. "Cheers." He slurred, taking the bottle back and downing more.

+ The walls were getting drier and drier with each passing day. The once cool winds that would cut through the stone dungeons were turning softer, warmer. It was a welcome relief, but without the muddy water from the walls...you knew you didn't have much left. Your spirit was crushed, on top of it. Death seemed like not a terrible option anymore.  Especially knowing that your court - your friends - your family had left you. They had just... forgotten. Thrown you aside like nothing. Didn't even try to find you. Like the Winter court skeleton in the cell beside you, just left to die.

  You pushed the thoughts back, knowing that logically that wasn't true. But you couldnt come up with a reason why they would leave you down here. You prayed, you tried sending thoughts down the bond. Nothing worked. Sometimes your mind got the better of you, and you would rush to the bars of your prison cell when you thought you heard faint footsteps. 

Then you would hear your own voice echo back, and no one else.  Eventually you stopped getting up. You let the fantasies keep you entertained while you lay on the floor. Not caring about the bugs that crawled on you. You were glad there wasn't a mirror to see yourself in. A wave of dizziness crashed over you, and you fell into darkness. 

When the water ran dry, you stopped bothering calling out for Cassian. The bond was there, but saturated. Trying to grasp it was like trying to hold wind. You were too exhausted. So you propped yourself up in a corner and let the dizziness pull you under again for a moment. Taking rattling breaths, you let your mind wander to that mind bridge. That once sturdy marble that would always remind you of Cassian. 

You sent out a final tug down that bond. Using the last of your energy, you put all your effort into it. "I'm here, I always will be. I love you. I'm sorry." The platform you imagined your bond being seemed to go dark, and lifeless. Empty.

+ Cassian shot upright, head spinning. Mor was asleep beside him, her feet on the table. He shook her, trying to shake the stupor. "Wake up. Wake up!" She groaned, weakly batting him away. He took a breath, trying to steady himself. He wobbled to the kitchen, dunked his head in the cold sink water and slapped himself a few times. The haziness from his stupor crawled away, slowly. 

Mor appeared in the archway, rubbing her eyes.

"Get Rhys. I need you to winnow us." He demanded, patting her face softly. Her eyebrows knit together but she stretched, and sleepily obliged.  + You assumed the crackling was just your starved imagination. Again. But the wind changed as well, and you tried not to let your hopes up. You weakly opened your eyes, to the same familiar cell. A silent tear slid down your cheek.  Then there were the shuffling of footsteps again, and you hid your face in your hands. It seemed like all the imagination tricks were attacking at once. You wanted it to stop. You wanted nothing more than to just fall asleep until you could see and hold Cassian again. Voices, now.

The sweet deep voice of a man who spoke another language. An ancient language. Your ears rang. You cracked your eyes again, to a blinding white light. You held a hand in front of your face, trying to see behind it. 

A thud, and scrape of metal. Then the scent hit you. It was similar to what you had imagined but somehow a million times better. Then, his arms were around you. "Mother above." He breathed. You would have thought the mother took you at last if it wasnt for the pain in your gut.

"We got you honey, I'm so sorry. Im-" He tried to hold back a sob. You smiled weakly at the familiar, yet different eyes that you loved. The marble platform you shared seemed to be lighting up with happiness. At the same time, crumbling and falling with shame. Anguish. 

Rhys began winnowing the group immediately, nodding to Helion. The high lord gave him a melancholy smile back, and winnowed himself in a flash of light. He would check the rest of the mountain with his forces and repair the wards before he returned to his home. 

Everyone surrounded the healer, watching her work. Mor was trying to stay calm, but her hands shook when she held Amrens. Rhys and Azriel both had jaws clenched, shoulders tense. Watching the way Cassian's tears fell on to your shoulder as he cradled you. The healer squeezed  his arm softly, silently requesting him to move. He didn't.

Azriel went to his brother, wrapping an arm around him. "Your mate needs you to be strong, Cas." He consoled, pulling him away gently. Cassian held you tighter, just for a second then nodded and let go. He held your hand firmly. His warmth missing from your body was a shock. You began shivering. Amren tugged a blanket off the guest couch nearby and placed it over your legs. 

"T-thanks." you muttered. Her eyes widened, but she nodded. Her and Rhys glanced to each other. A silent conversation. You didnt care. 

"Cas?" You squeezed his hand, and there he was. His pale face looked ragged. He seemed like he was struggling in every sort of way. You didnt want to imagine what he was looking at when he looked at your features. You could practically feel your cheeks sinking in, your bones losing their density. "I missed you." You smiled, trying to lift his mood. 

His lips quivered, and he nodded. He kissed the back of your hand. "You wouldnt believe how much I missed you. All of us did." he glanced to Rhys. His face was blank, but that steady stream of power seemed to be crackling outside. 

You let your eyes drift to each of your friends. Each of their tear stained faces were such a welcome relief. Over a month alone, their presence alone was enough to soothe that part of you that doubted their love. 

Cassian kissed your forehead, before the healer's light knocked you into a peaceful sleep.

Euphoria - Jules F! XReader

A/N: Haven't seen much Jules fanfics on here (which sucks bc I love her sm) so I decided to write one. Haven't wrote fanfic since middle school so if anybody has any tips on how to make my stories better plz let me know! Anyway, enjoy the story. <3

Word Count: I have no idea lol

Very light smut at the very end

It had been three months since you moved to town. You haven't made any friends so far, but your mom refuses to stop bugging you about it. "Honey I just think you could join a club after school, it hurts me seeing you so lonely since we moved." You knew she didn't really care about you making any friends, she just wanted to be able to tell your dad about how well you were doing and that moving was such a good idea. "I already have two overdue essays Mom I really don't have time to join a club." Which was true, since you had gotten here you didn't care about your schoolwork as much and you had started falling behind. "Well maybe if you have time you can try to find a club you're interested in." You could see the worry on your mom's face, she was trying so hard to prove to your dad that moving here while he finished out his huge project at work would be a good idea. Sure, you wanted to help her and make a friend or two so she could tell him it was going great, but it was just so hard. Your mom went into her room to put all her laundry away, you stayed in the living room to scroll through Instagram. Your friends from home looked so happy posting pictures from the latest pep rally, you thought about how much you missed wearing your cheerleading outfit with your best friend, Mandy. At first you and her had texted all day every day, soon it turned into a "goodnight" every day, and then it turned into checking in maybe once a week. Now it had been two weeks since you heard from her, she had finally forgotten you and now you really didn't have anybody left. You commented on Mandy's picture, "Looks so fun!!!!!! So upset I had to miss it tho, luv u <3." You knew she probably wouldn't comment back, so you locked your phone and made your way to your room. You hadn't cleaned your room since you unpacked, now it was really starting to turn into a mess. You couldn't bring yourself to care enough to clean it though, so you changed into your pj's, plugged your phone in, and climbed into bed. "Maybe tomorrow will finally be better..." you thought as you drifted off to sleep.

Your alarm had gone off five times already, you knew you couldn't hit the snooze button anymore. You finally turned it off and got out of bed, avoiding looking at yourself in the mirror as you walked past it. You hated seeing yourself in the mornings, you always looked like a mess. Since you slept in so late you didn't have time to put on a cute outfit like you usually did. You put on a hoodie and some jeans, threw your hair up, and went to go brush your teeth. "Sweetheart I'm making french toast this morning! Come grab a plate before you leave!" You looked at your phone, it was 7:15, you didn't have time for french toast today. "No thanks Mom I'll be late for the bus! I gotta go love you!" You rushed out the door before she could say anything else, she'd probably ask why you're not eating, and you didn't have the energy for that conversation. You would have to explain that yes you would eat if you had time and nothing's messing with your appetite, but if you engaged in that conversation, she'd take up more time than eating breakfast would and you'd be even later than if you did eat. You had to run to the bus stop before it drove away without you, luckily you made it just before the driver closed the doors. "Rough morning Candace?" the bus driver asked. "Honestly, it could be worse."

The bus ride felt like forever, and you dreaded stepping off onto school sidewalk. But you did anyway and walked into your first class, Government. You took your seat and got your notebook and pens out to take notes, there were always so many to take in this class. Then Mrs. Rose called everybody's attention, "Class, please look up here. Today we have a new student joining us, please welcome Jules." Everyone responded, "Hello Jules." Except you. You couldn't even speak. Once you laid your eyes on her you were stunned. She was the most beautiful person you had ever seen. Her hair was bubblegum pink, her eye makeup looked like hearts that were made out of pink glitter, and she wore a pastel blue baby doll dress. It made you think of your own outfit, how today was the one day you decided not to wear something cute. Now you had ruined your one and only first impression on her. Mrs. Rose interrupted your train of thought, "Jules how about you sit next to Candace." You watch her walk down the row of desks, "Oh no, I have no idea what to say." you think to yourself. As she walks closer you feel your breathing quicken, how could a girl you haven't even talked to yet make you feel this way? She sits down in the desk beside you and places her notebook on her desk. "Hi, I guess the teacher just said everything for me but I'm Jules." She says with a smile. "Hi, I'm Candace." You say back with a nervous smile. You try to focus during the rest of the class, but you constantly take glances at Jules while she looks at the board. You manage to make it through class and the rest of the day. You're not sure how though with how much you thought about Jules during the day. You go outside and wait for your bus to pull up, and then you hear the sweetest, "Hi!' from behind you. You turn around and see her again, "Oh um hi Jules!" you say back. "Hey, I was just wondering if maybe I could get your number? Not in a weird way I promise I um, I was just wondering if I could text you so you could catch me up what I missed in Government so far this year." You try to find words, but you catch yourself just standing there and staring back at her. "Oh uhm, yeah sure no problem!" You finally say. She smiles at you, "Thanks!" You gave her your number and stepped on the bus, you watched her walk to her bike then pedal away.

You spent the whole bus ride home thinking about Jules. You couldn't get her out of your head. Her smile, her makeup, her hair, her outfit, everything about her was perfect. You finally get home and walk through the front door. Your mom was sitting on the couch watching one of her shows, "Hey Catiebug how was school today?" "It was good mom I have homework to do." You say rushing towards your room. You didn't really care about your homework, you wanted to see if you could look up Jules on social media. Just when you opened your computer you realized you didn't even know her last name. "Well how many people named Jules could be living nearby?" you thought. It took you about thirty minutes, but you finally found her on Instagram. You looked through all of her pictures, with every picture you scrolled through she looked even more amazing than in the one before. You were close to the end of her feed when your phone buzzed, snapping you out of your dreamlike state of looking at Jules. And at the top of the screen there she was, "Hey!!!! It's Jules, so is there anything important I missed so far in class? <3" That heart at the end made you get butterflies in your stomach. "Hey Jules!!!! There's not too much that you missed, if you want you can look through my notes sometime tomorrow!" You anxiously waited for her to text back. You stared at your phone for what felt like forever, but it was really only about two minutes. "What is wrong with me?" you asked yourself. You were starting to wonder how some random girl had such a hold over you. You've only had two crushes back home before this, so why were you suddenly so head over heels for this one girl? Your phone buzzed again, interrupting your thoughts. "Sounds great tysm! Meet you during lunch for notes tmr?" Your heart started racing, you can't believe she wants to sit with you at lunch. You've been sitting alone during lunch since you got here and now you have the most beautiful girl asking can she join you tomorrow. You finally text back, "Sure sounds great! See you tmr." You try to work on your homework, even though all you can think about is getting to sit with Jules tomorrow. You can't wait to see what outfit she's going to wear tomorrow or what her makeup is going to look like. You get done with your homework, you definitely missed a lot of questions, but it didn't matter since it was at least done. Your mom called you, "Catie! Dinners ready!" But you didn't get up, you were too busy thinking about sitting with Jules tomorrow, "I'm not hungry right now Mom! I'll grab a snack before bed!" You thought that you probably should've just went to dinner, because now your mom was standing at your door, "Are you sure you're okay sweetie? Did I upset you last night talking about you joining a club?" You had to think for a minute to come up with something that she'd believe. "Mom I'm fine, I'm just worried about my grades this year, they assign so much more work here than they did back home." There, that was believable right? "Well.... okay baby. You know I just get worried sometimes. I'll put a plate in the fridge for you, so you don't have to only eat a snack later." She closed your door and walked away. Hopefully she's less worried about you now.

Today couldn't come quick enough. You tossed and turned all night thinking about Jules. You thought about what you would say to her, what she would say to you, and you thought about what you needed to say so you wouldn't sound awkward in front of her. When your first alarm when off this morning you were already awake. You had already showered, ate, and brushed your teeth. Now you were standing in front of the mirror deciding which outfit you were going to wear. You chose the dark blue crop top and some ripped black skinny jeans. You did some blue glittery eye shadow as a base, and around your eyes you draw some hearts in black eyeliner. You hoped Jules would be impressed, since her makeup always looks so good. You grabbed your backpack and got on your bike to go to school. Your mom hadn't even woken up and the bus wouldn't come for at least another thirty minutes. You wanted to get to school early, with the hopes of running into Jules while you both chained your bikes to the bike rack. But when you got there, you didn't see any sign of her. You sat in the parking lot on your bike for a few minutes, and finally you saw her pedaling into the parking lot. You pulled out your phone, thinking that scrolling through Instagram would make you look more casual. Then over your shoulder you hear the cheeriest, "Hiiiii!" You turned around to see her, she was wearing a purple top and a blue skirt. Instead of eye shadow today she was just wearing blue eyeliner and some pink lip gloss. She looked like the definition of perfect. "Hey Jules!" you said back to her. She pulled up right beside you, "What made you come in so early?" she asked. You put your phone in your back pocket and tried to think of some kind of excuse. "I uhm- I just wanted to get here early and turn in some overdue essays before classes started. What about you?" She hopped off her bike and pulled her bike lock out of her backpack, "I like getting here early, it's so quiet before everyone gets here. It's kind of peaceful." You got off of your bike and locked it around the bike rack. You couldn't think of anything else to say to her, and luckily, she broke the silence, "So are you sure I didn't miss too much in first few months of school?" Of course, she missed a lot, but with how stressed this school makes you, you didn't want her to worry too much. "Well, we just started a new unit this week, so you won't have to worry about missing too much before a test. And they won't make you retake anything that was assigned before you got here." You started walking towards school, even though you weren't sure the doors were unlocked this early in the morning. "That's good, this is the first time I've moved schools, so I wasn't really sure what to expect." Coming here was the first time you had to move schools too, so you knew exactly how she felt. "I know what you mean, I just moved here about three months ago." She turned her head to look at you as she opened the door, "Wow I didn't know that. I guess they stuck us next to each other since we're new huh?" You had to stop for a second just to look at her, you didn't get to see her this close when she was coming into the parking lot. She looked amazing. You had never seen somebody as pretty as her. You wondered if she would even be interested in you like you were with her. "Probably, heh." You spent all that time this morning thinking of what to say to not sound awkward, and then that comes out. "Jesus, I don't even know what to say how could I be born this awkward ugh." You think to yourself. You walk through the hallways together; Jules goes into the Government classroom and sees you walking past, "Hey are you coming in?" she asks. "Yeah, in a minute, I have to walk these to my English teacher." You say, flashing a folder with your essays inside. "Oh yeahhh, I forgot about those. See you in a minute." She said, with the brightest smile you've ever seen. You smile back and keep walking down to the English classroom. You start to think as you walk, if all those smiles and sweet tones meant she might have a crush on you, or if she

was just being nice. She just moved here so you don't know what her personality is like. You dropped your essays off to Mr. Jackson and made your way back to the Government classroom. Jules was right, the school was way more peaceful when nobody else was here. You walked through the door to Mrs. Rose's class and saw Jules sitting at her desk on her phone, she was typing something, and smiling at her phone. Your heart dropped a bit. What if she has a boyfriend or a girlfriend from her hometown? Maybe it was just her personality, she's just that sweet and kind to everyone and you aren't special. You hung your head and just walked to your desk, but as soon as she heard your footsteps she looked up, smiled, and put her phone down on her desk. "Hey, you're finally back!" she said and smiled even wider. Suddenly instead of feeling like you had a rock in the pit of your stomach you had butterflies again. "Yeah, it only took a second." You said as you sat down at your desk. She turned to you, and it looked like she was hesitating to do something. Then she asked, "Do you want to come over to my house after school, my dad's probably going to ask you a million questions when we walk through the door, but we can hang out in my room." You smiled, but inside you were freaking out. Maybe she does feel the same way about you that you feel about her. Maybe this is how she's showing it. Maybe hanging out today would lead to something bigger later. "Sooooo?" she said suddenly. You realized you had been thinking for too long. "Um yeah sure! I just need to text my mom and tell her where I'm going." She smiled at you, and for a second it felt like you and her were the only ones in the room. But other students had already started filing in and Mrs. Rose clapped her hands together saying, "Good morning, everyone!"

You thought about Jules all day during school again. You're not even sure how you got through the day without being sent to the office, at least two teachers called you out for not paying attention. When the bell rang you felt like you had hit the lottery. You packed all your stuff into your backpack and rushed to the parking lot. Jules was waiting there, smiling at her phone again. Now you didn't know how to feel about it, since she invited you over. When she saw you, she put her phone away again. "Ready to go?" she asked. "Of course!" you said, smiling at her. She smiled back and you both unlocked you bikes and climbed on. It took 30 minutes to get to her house, she zig zagged through the streets on the way there, she had so much fun. You couldn't understand how, you were out of breath after 10 minutes. But you had to keep going, you wanted to spend time with Jules, and she looked so happy. It was so cute to see her happy. You both laid your bikes on her front lawn and walked through the door. Her dad was sitting on the couch and reading when you walked in. He looked up from his book, "Well hello, Jules who's this?" he said as he put his book on the coffee table. "Dad, this is Candace. She's the friend I made that I told you about." She looked kind of shy as she said it, you wondered if she told her dad that you were more than a friend. Or you were just overthinking because you liked her. "Ohhh right Candace, how could I forget about her after you talked my ear off about her-" Jules cut him off, "DAD." she semi yelled as her face turned a light shade of red. "Alright alright, you two girls have fun. Wait, but not too much fun." He said and winked. She grabbed your hand and led you upstairs. "He's so embarrassing." she said as you both walked upstairs. You just laughed in response, "Well at least your dad is interested in your life." She turned to you as she opened her door, "Yeah a little too interested if you ask me." You closed the door behind you, and she sat on her bed. "So, you talked his ear off about me huh?" you asked laughing. Her face turned that light shade of red again, "Well he was really excited that I made a friend already, okay?" she said smiling at you. You sat down on the bed next to her. "But we can't have "too much fun"?" You said smiling back at her. "Okay well, maybe I might've mentioned that you're really pretty and I kind of thought I liked you." Her face turned a dark shade of red this time and you couldn't help but smile at her. She smiled back and grabbed your hand. You both laid back on the bed still holding hands, she turned her head and asked, "Well, are we going to have too much fun?"

[eurydicees]

so. about platonic atsuiwa........

i believe they would have that weird kind of friendship where they don't know each other's favorite color but do know about their deepest trauma lol

like, atsumu will constantly rant about his love life (or lack thereof) and iwaizumi will listen with full commitment but pause him to ask things like, "wait, who was that guy again?" or "huh what high school were you from btw?" "what was your brothers name?" etc.

(and somehow its not awkward at all. atsumu answers and they move on)

i might be a bit obsessed with iwa's mom friend energy but can you blame me. he needs to take care of other people all the time or he will die. and with oikawa living overseas now he needs a new brat to take care of, you know.

but its not the same as it was with oikawa, because atsumu gets offended when people try to be caring with him. so iwa has to be sneaky about it, too. like instead of outward saying "don't overwork yourself" he has to go out of his way to invite him to do stuff when he knows the little shit's gonna spend the whole weekend at gym practicing serves again. and atsumu always agrees when iwa asks to hang out because he's a friendless lonely bastard who cries when people show him the slightest bit of love and attention

also atsumu calls iwa to rant about how much he hates samu twice a week. iwa tried to tell him once that he actually loves his brother very much and it's obvious but atsumu brushed it off by saying iwa wouldn't understand lmao

for iwa, tsumu is mostly a brat who needs him but he's also one of the most understanding people on earth. when iwa rants on the phone about his work or his family, he feels like he reaveals too much at the end and tries to cover it like "i mean i dont even know why i get so damn depressed over it this is so stupid" and atsumu will be like "nah i get it. want me to drop by with ice cream?"

and he does!! everybody wants to eat ice cream and cry sometimes!!! iwa needs to be babied too, thank you very much

tsumu's way of caring isnt as clear as iwa's but iwa gets it. instead of dragging him outside (like iwa does) tsumu will come over to his house, order pizza and put a random episode of friends or gilmore girls and sit silently with him and iwa it will be more than enough for iwa.

i feel like this is getting too out of the canon storyline and sounds more like an au but idk

one time iwa said he wanted to try dying his hair and they did it using grocery store hair supplies and at the end it looked so horrible that they both laughed until their eyes watered and the next day they went out to buy brown hair dye to fix it. then atsumu messed something up and the dye didn't work, iwa decided to get a buzzcut..

one time they sent a selfie to oikawa and he was.....not happy about it :D

iwa teaches atsumu how to cook some basic meals and atsumu tries to show off to samu with them

the first time iwa remembered atsumu's birthday and got him a little present atsumu cried and then said a bug got into his eye

they make fun of each other's choices of men

they go to gym together and atsumu always listens to music as he works out so one day iwa asked him to share a link to his gym playlist and it was just full of anime opening and some female kpop bands

i think this is all i have. its like 1.30 am rn so i think i'll go to sleep. hope you like these xx

oh my god yess yesssss yess YESSS !!!! i am YELLING !!!!!!! loveeeeeeeee all of this oh my god. gym buds atsuiwa is so good. iwaizumi teaching atsumu to cook (osamu is deeply offended that atsumu didn't ask him). atsumu forcing iwaizumi to watch romcoms and tv shows of the like (oikawa is deeply offended bc iwa refuses to watch telenovelas with him, but he'll watch friends with atsumu miya).

you're also so right that they literally know about each other's worst fears but atsumu would not be able to tell you what "aoba johsai" is if a gun was put to his head. iwaizumi could tell you the worst memory of atsumu's life but absolutely could not tell you what his favorite animal is.

like, atsumu: yeah i know iwaizumi best out of the whole national team we go to the gym together all the time

kageyama: what middle school did he go to then.

atsumu: ....

hinata: kageyama you went to the same middle school, that's cheating. atsumu, he went to kitagawa daiichi btw

atsumu: i'm quitting this team

and you have the way iwaizumi takes cares of atsumu vs oikawa so right tbh, like oikawa can get the tough love yell at rant kinda thing going on, but atsumu gets a more subtle kind of care. so true. man. i'm obsessed w all of this THANK YOU

[bitchiha]

HC of Kiba, Shino, Choji, Neji and Lee playing animal crossing. Do they do it hidden from others or not? Their islands, favorite activities, group interactions (especially) and other things you like.

A/N: Yes!! Thank you for requesting this!! I love writing little fun things like this. I haven’t gotten a chance to play animal crossing on the switch because I was saving up for it w/ my job and everything, but now that Corona has shut down my province I can’t actually buy the switch or Animal Crossing 🥺 I watch gameplays for like hours on end tho and my friends never shut up about it so I know enough to make these HC’s I Hope lmfao and I’ve played it on my DS and phone for timee so I’m educated dw

✎ Animal Crossing x Naruto Characters!

Kiba Inuzuka

He was so pumped for animal crossing to come out. Probably used man the beast clone justu in the game store to make sure that he got his hands on a copy.

He won’t hide that he plays Animal Crossing, he’ll be such a confident douche about it. Once he’s got a fly outfit and he’s starting to get gains he will flex his island to anyone, especially Shino.

He would pick an island in the northern hemisphere and he wouldn’t even strategize tbh like he’s just excited

He would name it like “Dog Land” or “Akamaruville” or some shit like that

He’s the type to read all the things the characters say out loud. Will also 10/10 respond to them.

He’s so excited at little things “look akamaru! It’s a stick!” “Oh shit! Wow! It’s a fishy!”

Or when the seasons change he is so hyped

Hates Tom Nook (greedy capitalist) and also hates Eugene

Starts calling people by nicknames from animal crossing. “Sure, Bunyip!” “Sure thing daddio!” And only the other ninja who play Animal Crossing will get it

Everyone else will be like: (;-;) shut the fuck up dog boy did you just call me “daddio?”

His title on his animal crossing passport is “photogenic animal” I felt the need to include this information

Sometimes I don’t even know what the fuck Kiba does on animal crossing like he just messes around all the time

I think he’ll like fishing a lot tho

Despises the snooty or cranky villagers like he wants to pop one at them through the screen

Having interactions w friends on Animal Crossing can either be fun and friendly or super passive aggressive

Him and Shinos interactions are so ducking passive aggressive like Shino is hitting Kiba with his bug net and Kibas like ?? And Shino will just be like “there was a bug on you” like bruh

Him and Chojis interactions are friendly at first until he realizes how much better Choji is doing than him and he gets so aggressive so Chojis like: aight imma head out

Refuses to let Rock Lee get into his island and it makes Lee so ducking mad bc he wants to flex on him, but Kibas ego will be so damaged so he refuses

Anyway, his house is literally what a 12 year old boys house would look like. Like there’s clutter everywhere the only clear path is the one to his bed

Also whenever he uses the vaulting pole thing he pisses himself like he thinks it’s so fucking funny

I’m sorry but Kibas character will look like a rat like it will look so ugly

I feel like he has like one braincell when he plays this game

Shino Aburame

He’s so secretive about it at first, like this is Shino Aburame, he’s supposed to be this cool mysterious guy

So he will not let anyone know about it, until kiba accidentally finds out

Like they’re on a mission and they’re in their tent sleeping. Once Shino thinks everyone’s asleep he whips out the Switch and starts playing. Then Kiba rolls over to face him and is like “I KNEW IT”

Then Kiba tells everyone else

They’re Animal Crossing rivals now

He’s got a Southern Hemisphere island and he strategically picks his island in a way that he’ll (in real life terms) be able to have access to bugs... but it’s a game, no point in explaining it to him tbh

Like he only strategizes on the game for bugs. Probably talks to himself whenever bugs are involved in it

He doesn’t read the captions out loud, he’ll read them in his head like normal person

Names his Island after a bug species or “Bug Landia”, “Bikochu Island” <- as tribute to those filler episodes lmfao

Starts talking like K.K. (The dog w the stupid ducking guitar) and tbh it fits his personality pretty well, minus some of the hippie energy, but still.. sometimes Hinata and Kiba look at eachother like: is he good?

Will talk like K.K. When fighting enemies and sometimes they’ll stop and be like “did you just quote fucking K.K?” Sometimes it pisses enemies off even more

Also hates Tom Nook, Kiba and him will put their rivalry aside sometimes just so they could gang up on him

Like they’ll just yell insults at him through the screen and think they rlly did something amazing

His fav activity is obviously bug catching!! He gets so hyped when he catches a bug.

If he’s playing the game outside and you can’t rlly see his face bc of his outfit, it will look like he’s spazzing, but in reality he’s bursting with joy bc he caught an uncommon bug

Likes the cranky villagers.. idk why he just gets a kick out of them

His little house thing is bug and tropical themed, he lowkey should be an interior designer

Shinos character will resemble a bug. Don’t know how, but it will.

Choji Akamichi

Loves animal crossing almost as much as he loves food, it’s a close second

He will talk about Animal crossing with anyone, like he thinks everyone is dying to know about his island

One day Sai made eye contact with him for like 2 seconds Chojis dragging him over to his Switch like “oh hey Sai! I seen you looking at me and I figured you must be wondering what I was doing. So I’ll save you the time and just show you instead.” Sais just there like: wtf?

He’s neutral on the capitalist pig that is Tom Nook, Infact, he thinks he’s kind of nice. Poor Choji, so naive.

His island is in the Northern Hemisphere and he doesn’t really strategize it too much bc he doesn’t take the game as seriously as the rest of them like they’re really out here with survival tactics? My G..

Like he doesn’t take it as seriously as Neji and Lee, but he still is doing better than all of them in the game

Anyways, he’ll name the island after his favourite chip brand / chip flavour

Lives for interacting with the other islanders!! Loves Lily and Pashmina bc they’re so nice.

The sisterly and peppy villagers are his favourite

Favourite thing to do is collect fruits and get cool foods. Aside from that, I would go with bug catching as a close second.

Hosts everyone who plays animal crossing for the coolest funking hangouts poor Neji has to sit there and pretend he doesn’t play

Like he is so creative about it to and he’ll think up games like playing musical chairs or hide and seek that they can all play together

Probably results in Lee and Kiba getting into a fist fight irl and accusing eachother of cheating

His house has butterfly themed stuff in there as well as cool food things

Tenten is the only one who doesn’t get pissed tf off when she sees how fly his island is, like she’s jealous, but she isn’t like Kiba and Lee

Chojis character will look so adorable like idc his is the cutest one out of everyone’s

Neji Hyuuga

He first sees TenTen and Lee playing it and he acts like he doesn’t like it, but there are fireworks going off inside his head, like the game looks so fire

So he buys it secretly and he is obsessed, he will deny he plays it if anyone asks though

He wants his islands name to be something thought out, like it takes him 5 days just to name his island.. Only for him to settle on some shit like “Leaf Island” he wanted to name it Byakugan Land but his pride wouldn’t let him

Definitely respects Tom Nook. Like Rock Lee and him both treat the game like a survival tactic so he respects Tom Nook as a superior, even if he has some greed problems. He’s still a superior and he must be adressed with respect >:0

Will get worked up when he overhears Shino and Kiba trash talking Nook and it takes every bone in his body not to knock them out, but he doesn’t want them to know he plays so he refrains

I’m not gonna lie he tries to use his Byakugan when he’s fishing in animal crossing so he can see what type of fish it is through the water and it pisses him the fuck off when it doesn’t work

Like he’s just playing Animal Crossing at like 3 am and you hear him whisper shout “Byakugan!” And then he punches the air bc it doesn’t work

He changes his passport title to “Nook Inc’s Island Dweller”

Nejis favourite thing to do on animal crossing is probably fishing tbh. Like yes it does aggravate the absolute fuck out of him sometimes when he keeps catching the same worthless fish over and over again, but he enjoys the rush of it

His house is all white, like only white furniture idk why

No group interactions, only w Hinata who he made swear she wouldn’t tell anyone he plays

Def critiques her Island and in her head she’s like :0 bruh I’m ur only Animal Crossing friend and youre gonna critique my fucking island nah bitch not w your ghetto ass all white stinky looking cottage

I love Neji I’m sorry but this shit is too funny for me

Neji wants his character to look as much like him as possible, but can’t find the right hairstyle

His drip is fire tho like his outfit is so nice even if it’s all white as well

Rock Lee

Kiba and Shino might be rivals, but they both equally despise Rock Lee on Animal Crossing

Treats it like real life.

For example: since him and TenTen are friends he’s like “me and Tentens islands are Allies”

Has declared war on Kiba and Shino so many times and they’re like?? Dude you can’t even start a war like wtf

He is so competitive though LMFAOO AND HE MAKES HIS CHARACTER WORK OUT. Like he makes him run laps every morning and it doesn’t even benefit him in the game at all... anyways

His island is in the northern hemisphere for sure and it’s named “Power of Youth” or something involving the word Youth

Uses his Nook phone to take pics will all the islanders he stumbles upon

“Good evening, Lily! Let’s take a picture together, the sun is shining in a way that perfectly accentuates your features!”

He also talks to islanders out loud and reads their captions in designated voices for them, it annoys the shit out of Neji

Jazzes the shit out of his Passport like his title is “horizon bound patron” and his little passport comment is “THE POWER OF YOUTH!”

Takes the Nook miles quests so seriously. “I will complete three quests today.” Thinks of them as missions and so he gives them the same energy

Probably calls Nook “Nook-Sensei”

“right away Nook-Sensei” or “you can count on me Nook-sensei!” Whenever Nook asks him something

Rock Lees fav activity is literally just completing whatever a character asks him to do. Like constantly does quests and enjoys it. Wtf

If there is workout furniture on animal crossing, best believe it’s in Rock Lees house

He gets so pissy when Kiba won’t let him on his Island

Invites everyone to his island and forces them onto a tour of it.

Also his character looks so fucking similar to himself that it’s eerie

Kiba will make fun of him for it (Shino will probably join in too)

Reading your request, you have been matched with...

(づ￣ ³￣)づ Mikasa Ackerman

LISTEN I think y’all would genuinely make such a good couple

Any of your interests she will sit and listen to you talk to them for literal hours and want to combust cause she thinks you look so fucking cute ranting about it it’s unreal

Sometimes you do have to take breaks ranting though cause she just wants a kiss so bad but she promises she’ll let you continue after a half hour of making out LMAO

Her favorite position to listen to you rant about k-drama is with your head laying in her lap while you look up at her so she can play with your hair and still see your face, and it makes it easier to steal a forehead kiss or too

Her second favorite though is when you’re ranting about work and you get particularly frustrated so she pulls you into her chest and runs her fingers down your back and the sides of your arms while you relax

If you can’t tell I strongly HC mikasa loves physical affection

I think its just easier for her to show you how much she cares through little gestures of affection - and she’s currently obsessed with the way your eyes close when she cups your face with both hands and rubs her thumbs across your cheeks so there’s that too LMAO

Massages‼️‼️

When you’re watching a movie and you rest your legs on her lap her hands just naturally start rubbing at your legs and if you get sleepy she just leans over and gives you a kiss on the cheek and carries you to bed and is so <3333333

Ok but she loves when she’s laying between your legs and her head rests on your chest and you play with her hair, like she’s out 5 minutes TOPS and she does drool a little but it’s ok cause she’s cute

Whenever you play the violin or piano in front of her she’s just so 😍😍😍like she will happily sit and watch you practice for hours cause she just loves how pretty you sound and how she can just feel your passion through the way you’re playing

Ok at first I think she’d have a hard time understanding why you take care of her like she’d come home and you’d have dinner already made and she’d just be 🧍🏻‍♀️...... w-what do you want from me LMAO

But I feel like she’d get use to it really fast and always appreciate the things you do for her

Now her heart gets so warm when she comes home and smells dryer sheets cause you did the laundry already, or if she hears the you blasting music she knows she’s probably gonna find you in the kitchen cooking dinner

Ok but Mikasa leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed and she’s just smirking and staring at you cook until you notice she’s there?

[dorkery]

Okay i want to take some time here to moan like a bitch because I am going to EXPLODE

1. Parents have been asking me to volunteer sew PPE clothing for Covid-19 front liners. I have no objections.

2. Dad puts me in touch with a specific lady. I contact her. Lady explains the initiative badly and just adds me to the WhatsApp group. I have no idea what the fuck. I'm just told there is a briefing at a mall (BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO???? JUST SEND ME THE FUCKING MATERIALS AND LET ME SEW AT HOME????)

3. Dad checks in to see if I have contacted her. I said I have. At this juncture, I also message the lady again and ask her if she can accommodate my request to sew at home and for a video demonstration. She says maybe.

4. Dad wanders by later, tells me the Malaysian director of health (our surgeon-general) has indicated a PPE shortage. I tell him I've already contacted her, note that I've started to become annoyed.

5. Nobody explains a fucking thing to me. In the WhatsApp group, I straight up just say look will someone tell me what is happening? I'm a first time volunteer I don't know a goddamn thing.

6. WOW COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST SHARED THIS INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE FROM THE FUCKING START???????

7. WOW SHE'S JUST IGNORING MY REQUEST FOR A VIDEO AND NOW I HAVE TO GO ACROSS THE FUCKING STATE TO SHAH ALAM TO GO TO THIS STUPID MALL TO SEW.

8. Dad tells me to stop complaining and to be 'sincere' in volunteering.

9. It's Tuesday. I tell him I'll go to the fucking mall on Saturday.

10. He proceeds to ask me, EVERY DAY, why I don't just go NOW. I tell him because I chose Saturday. He's unhappy.

11. He complains to my mother. Now I'm openly rude to my dad in front of her (If YOU are so eager to go tomorrow, then YOU can volunteer sew. I want to go on SATURDAY). No one is happy. Especially me.

12. I go to the mall on Saturday. She's asked everyone to gather at 11. I fucking know Malay people and Malaysian time. I tell my hovering father there's no need to be punctual. We get there around 11.05 or 11.10 anyway.

13. The organiser arrives at fucking 12. Can you imagine how fucking furious I am already.

14. The sewing machine they have me use is an old industrial model WHICH I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK. Like, how do I thread the needle??? How do I fix the bobbin???? How do I backstitch?????? Not to mention every time I sew, the thread escapes the needle and the bobbin thread straight up tangles.

15. I am straight up not having a good time.

16. Lady is obnoxious and condescending when i say I'm not used to the machine. "ohhh just be gentle with it, it's so easy to use!!!!" bitch this is a fucking Toyota from 2001 and I use a 2019 brothers machine, you're asking a digital native to identify VHS player

17. I take 3 (T H R E E) FUCKING HOURS TO SEW ONE PPE OUTFIT BECAUSE I AM FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY AND FIGHTING THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT MACHINE

18. Dad realises I'm holding myself back from screaming at people and being a rude POS. He goes on to chat with them (why the fuck are you even here dad) and I viciously refuse lunch to work through this fucking PPE. (Refusing food in Malay culture is a slap in the face)

19. It took me 3 hours of silently screaming to finally understand the fucking sewing machine because this Lady has no sense of organisation. I sew my second PPE outfit in less than 25 mins. My dad's like??????? And I'm fuming like, I want to use my own fucking machine.

20. We quickly leave with materials for me to sew at home (15 PPE). I am DONE sewing for the day.

21. Next day I sew all the shoulders only. I think the materials have mites on them bc I'm fucking itching like crazy and had to take a shower halfway and then bug spray my workspace. Dad had the gall to suggest my cats (who started playing around the materials - jesus christ if you're not going to be sewing then you can at least move the cats away right???? I'm BUSY) maybe the ones who caused it but Im like HELLO?????? YOU SNUGGLE OUR CATS EVERY DAY??????? WHEN HAVE YOU SCRATCHED?????? MY CATS SLEEP ON MY FUCKING BED AND YET MY JAMMIES AND BEDSHEETS ARE MITE-FREE WHAT DO YOU THINK???????? and he's like oh

22. Next day, I sew all the sleeves. This gave me the most problems on Saturday but at home this is a breeze. It takes me most of the day. I am starting to get sick of sewing these things. During a break when I'm just going through a message, my dad wanders in and asks me if the seamstress is done for the day. I flatten the urge to tell him to fuck off.

23. I have to make lunch on top of sew and I'm tired. Now I have to sew the neckline and i am discovering quickly this is the worst part of sewing the fucking PPE and I eventually resort to pinning everything in place for the first time. Lady contacts me and asks me on progress. I tell her I just have the string left. She asks me if I want to finish up at the mall. I say NO. I WANT TO SEW AT HOME WITH MY OWN MACHINE. she senses I am not a friendly person.

24. This morning I came down after the usual bout of restless sleep. Dad asks me when I can finish bc Lady had contacted him already. My mood plummets immediately. I started sewing the waist ties as noisily and angrily as possible. Bundle done, I pass everything to him. He meekly asks me if I want a second batch to sew. I say FINE.

YO, AS A VOLUNTEER????? STOP BREATHING DOWN MY FUCKING NECK??????????? THIS THING IS NOT A PLEASANT THING TO SEW???????? AND I AM LITERALLY THE ONE SEWING IT

I AM NOT A FUCKING SEWING MACHINE AND THIS IS NOT MY JOB???? I HAVE OTHER THINGS I WANT TO DO AND I LITERALLY CANNOT DO IT BECAUSE I AM VOLUNTEERING MY TIME, ENERGY AND MENTAL *STRENGTH* TO COMMIT TO THIS

GIVE ME FUCKING ROOM TO BREATHE BECAUSE I AM HATING EVERY MOMENT OF THIS AND YET I AM DOING IT ANYWAY

AND ANOTHER THING!!!!

25. I have been telling my parents NOT to share pics or tell people I am sewing PPE. DON'T FUCKING DO IT????? WHY CAN'T YOU JUST RESPECT THIS ONE FUCKING REQUEST????? STOP USING ME TO WIN RESPECTABILITY, I DON'T WANT ATTENTION AND I ESPECIALLY DON'T WANT THE FUCKING EMPTY PRAISE OKAY???????? JESUS CHRIST

.:Soul Bond:. - Chapter 1

Alasjlka I meant to write this a long ass time ago but a few things popped up and I got busy rip,,, alskm Anyways this is the beginning to the series I was talking about doing!! It’s a crossover with an old rpg game that I really loved. I kept the name of the village elder bc I couldn’t think if anyone who could fit in her place for now. I might go back and change it once I’m not sleep deprived and up at 2:30 in the morning :’) Tell me what you guys think!

I also have an Ao3 now!! I’ll be posting stuff for other fandoms so if you wanna request a one shot or smth from another fandom shoot me an ask on here or on my ao3!! -----> Here!!

You wake up, eyes fluttering open and staring blankly at the ceiling. A groan escapes your lips as you roll over and take the pillow behind your head, shoving it over your head in an attempt to keep out the light of the morning sun. In the distance, you recall with a grimace, is the sound of the tower bell, signalling you to rise. But, gods, you really don’t have the energy to get up after yesterday’s training with your friend. She really was insistent when it came to training with you. Even though you had beat her countless amounts of times, she still insisted you were the weaker of the two of you. And so she drove you to train with her endlessly, and when you were summoned to do other village duties it was a blessing really. You loved her to death but, man, she just really took the energy outta you sometimes.

“Hey, are you still sleeping?” You heard a familiar voice blare, causing you to groan and curl up in a ball. “How many times do I have to wake you up myself??”

The door was already open and you lazily tried to fend off your friend with a few swipes of your hand. She clearly wasn’t amused as you swatted at her and opted to yank the bedsheets off of you completely. You slumped on the bed in defeat while she grabbed your ankles and started to drag you out of the bed. She whined at you for being so heavy to which you snorted at.

“Come ooon!” She drawled in aggravation, “The village elder already summoned us! What if we’re finally going to be made guards just like we’ve been hoping?”

Ah, that’s right, you thought. It was for the past few months that the two of you had finally made it to the age that most others are when they begin their village guardianship. She had been nagging you about it between meals and duties around the village. The elder had repeatedly refused the two of you whenever you pressed the matter however, only going to anger the latter. You were fine with waiting if that’s what was needed, but someone else wasn’t as sold on the idea. Though, you had to admit, it was getting a little tiring being kept like a beauty in a gilded cage in this secret hidden village. Visitors here were few and far between and if rumors were true, the outside world was in peril of falling apart and decaying into nothing.

Your friend had given up on you by now as you lethargically got up to get ready. As you tugged on a usual shirt you felt the ache in your muscles while your mind wandered to the past few days. Nothing had stood out to you besides the village elder acting a bit distant. The look in her old eyes grew distant, cold even as she bid you farewell after every meeting. You shrugged it off. Maybe she was just getting sentimental about the two of your growing up? Having practically raised the two of you, maybe it was time she thought about letting you two grow up a little. Either way, it wasn’t your place to press about it, and even when your friend complained about the unfairness of being denied guard status, you were ready to remind her that the village elder was only doing what she thought best.

“Ochako,” You spoke quietly. The quick tilt of your head gave heed to what you meant. Being more of a soft spoken, quiet sort of person, only a few words got the point across most of the time. You found your friend being so outspoken was good, mostly because you wouldn’t have to explain so much, especially when you got a little flustered trying to explain things.

“It’s a about time.” She huffed in mock annoyance. You followed her down the hall and out into the main area, a small cave dug out with pillars of light filtering in from the ceiling. They shown onto the crystaline water flowing from the small fountain in the center, the cave made out of an almost quartz like material. If you hadn’t lived here the past 16 years you would’ve thought this place were some sort of ethereal plane of existence. But now it was just the same old area you passed through time and time again.

As soon as you reached the chamber in which your village elder dwelled, you kneeled until she bid you to rise. Ochako was trying her best not to blurt out the same question she had been asking the past months. You eyed her wordlessly before glancing back at the village elder, her eyes betraying something you weren’t sure you wanted to know about. It gave you an odd feeling, but you had no idea how to express it, so you kept it to yourself as you waited.

“It’s occured to me that I’ve been a bit, stingy with the two of you.” She began, the words flowing out, slow like molasses, “I believe it’s time.”

“W-w-wait… R-really?” The girl beside you choked out, looking like a fish with such a gaping look. ‘’Do you really mean it, Lady Layna?”

The old lady only chuckled at this, an raspy but hearty sort of sound. She held out a staff, pointing it squarely at Ochako, before an assortment of weapons appeared on the ground in front of her. The younger girl went bug eyed at the choice of brilliant looking weapons, but she was quick to gravitate towards the weapon she had been talking about since she was little.

“The choice it yours,” Layna spoke, “But choose wisely, for the weapon you choose will reflect your hero’s soul.”

“Hmm- These!” Ochako suddenly spoke, grabbing the emerald looking pair of short sickles. They shown in the gleaming light, and it was almost a divine win had sprung from her touch.

“Those blades will make sure your strikes are as light and quick as the wind, while your heart stays just as true. A truly fitting pick for you.”

You gawked a bit at the weapons but before you could step over to see what you could pick, they vanished. With a start you darted your gaze back over to Layna, catching a glimpse of a grimace on her face. You internally panicked, but you didn’t let it show much. With another swirl of her staff, another weapon was held before you.

“And for you,” She paused, putting her staff down and holding onto it with a grip tight enough to see her knuckles whiten. “I have only this.”

You gulped, unsure if you should even touch this thing. It was a black, onyx sword, the blade looking downright malicious as a set of red gems gleamed like eyes peering into your soul. It was unsettling and you weren’t sure if you could even refuse at this point. You glanced over at Ochako, whom of which seemed to be mirroring your concern. You looked back at the blade and swallowed hard. With a pit in your stomach you reached out, hands brushing over the handle before you grasped the blade fully. And oh boy, you really wished you hadn’t.

In an instant a wave of darkness sprang from it and engulfed you fully. Your hair whipped back from your face from the sheer force and at this point you were holding on for dear life. The waves of darkness continued to pour from the blade endlessly. Red and black mingled together like paint on a canvas. Swirling and mixing together as it leaked out into the room.

“(Y/n)!” You heard Ochako exclaim.

As soon as you looked over to her your vision clouded and you saw only darkness. A tingling sensation shot through your body, and you suddenly felt like you were floating. When you found yourself trying to look around however, you noticed that you couldn’t look at your own body. Slowly, a figure came into view in the darkness, the shadows giving way to a red hue. You saw, floating in the ethereal darkness, a boy with spiky ash blond hair, wearing a loose black tunic and gray pants. His hands were shoved in his pockets and his eyes were staring right through. A wicked looking smirk was plastered across his face. It wasn't long before you heard a rough voice yell out into a devilish laugh.

“It’s about damn time you shitty hag!” You heard him exclaim, though it felt like it was coming from you. “It’s been hundreds of years since I’ve gotten to stretch my legs!”

“W-What’s going on??” You heard Ochako stammer through the darkness.

“And from the looks of it, you chose a pretty good one, too!” The voice boomed in your ears. “Cozy even, I could get used to this.”

Your face flushed at this and you weren’t sure how to respond to this. Was he inside you? How was he in the sword? What the actual fuck was going on?? You spaced out, thinking at a rate of about a thousand miles an hour. It wasn’t until you heard someone screaming at you to listen did you finally snap back into reality, if this even was reality at this point.

“Hey are you even listening to me?” You heard him again. “The names Katsuki, baddest of the bad, maddest of the mad, killer of kings and destroyer of worlds!”

You rolled your eyes, but he didn’t seem to notice or care. In fact, now that you got a good look at him in this small void place you were dwelling away from the others, it looked like her had these weird floating things draped around his shoulders. Just what the hell was he?

“I’m what you call a Master of Death.” He said, as if he were reading your mind, and you panicked for a good second. “Now give me dominion over your body.”

Wait. W h a t.

“Excuse me?” You asked, “What are you going to do with it if I do?”

“Why I’m going to blow up this whole fucking world of course!” He gloated, a laugh ripping through his chest, almost like a mighty howl.

“Then no.” You said simply. “Why would I even let you do that?”

“Hey hey hey, don’t be selfish! I’ve been kept in that stupid sword for so long!” He whined, “Can’t you help a guy out?”

“No.” You said flatly, crossing your arms mentally.

There was a long and loud groan before your vision was no longer clouded in darkness and you were on the ground, hands still held fast around the handle of the blade. You groggily got up, holding the blade in one hand now. Layna looked at you warily but you weren’t sure what to even say to her.

“You sure picked a stubborn one,” You heard the voice again, “She didn’t even fucking budge!”

“Then I was right to put my faith in (Y/n).” Layna sighed, relief setting into her features.

“Wait, what the hell just happened??”

------

Layne had explained everything to you, about how she had fought Katsuki over a millenia ago and sealed him into the blade, and how she had been looking for someone she thought could handle the power of keeping the Master of Death sealed within their body. That person happened to be you this time and you shuddered to think of what would’ve happened if your body had given out like the ones before you. Ochako was not impressed or remotely okay with this fact and refused to acknowledge Katsuki despite him now constantly insulting her from within you. Her first instinct was to call him a demon, and was convinced you were possessed. But Layna had assured her that you were in fact, still you.

Although you know had a duty to perform now. You were not to be a guard of the village, but you were to go out into the world and hopefully do something about what was called a ‘World Eater’ that was the cause of the earth tremors growing more and more violent in your village. What that meant for Ochako you had no idea. But it was hard to say no to Layna after what all had just happened. You couldn’t even remember half the details she had told you. Everything was foggy and your muscles still ached from the hordes of training the past few days.

So after a long ass day and ordeal you decided to take a bath, forgetting you were in the presence of a certain Master of Death. Just as you had begun to strip you heard a whistle of approval from somewhere. Whipping around you saw no one, before the realization sunk in and you groaned while sliding down the wall of the bathroom.

“I see everything you see you know.” He cackled, already amused by your response. “Don’t worry though, if you close your eyes I won't be able to see anything as long as you don’t open them.”

You simply kicked off your socks and slid into the tub fully clothed, earning a disappointed whine from the stupid Master of Death residing in your body. You began to scrub on whatever exposed skin you had, but you weren’t sure if you could ever feel clean with this asshole lurking inside you.

“You’re bathing in your clothes?” Katsuki whined, “You’re no fun.”

You didn’t respond, not really wanting to, but you figured you’d have to get used to eventually whether you liked it or not. It was going to be hell from here on out.

“Don’t worry, soon I’ll know all your dirty secrets.” He taunted as you sat in the tub sulking.

“Lady Layna, I kind of hate you.”

This is a long ass post but these r some random metalocalypse hcs that I feel kinda strongly abt some r real silly ok here it goes 

Aka me projecting

Toki - Enjoys activities like roller skating, weight lifting and boxing (that’s why he’s yknow fucken ripped) - Also enjoys model cars but not nearly as much as his beloved fighter planes - Thick brows - Hair is very thick and smooth (and,,pretty) but he doesn’t put a lot of work into is making the other guys kinda jealous - Sometimes shaves his legs below the knee but that’s it - Does shit like host teen choice awards and guest star on children’s tv shows BUT THEN acts surprised when kids love him,,,tf bitch this is ur fault - Absolutely loves physical affection he fuckin loves hugs and kisses!!!! - Prefers making out and titty groping groupies (and maybe a blowjob) over having sex with them .. but will still do it if he feels like he’s up to it - Kisses with his eyes open (and overall just real fuckin weird ok) - Keeps the video from Juliette sarmangsadandle in his nightstand he treasures it - Mostly writes his own keyboard parts for songs - Band thinks he’s hilarious when he doesn’t try to be but when he tries to tell jokes they don’t work ,, but he’s really funny in Norwegian it’s just the jokes don’t really translate too well so he just,,keeps it to himself - Pickles taught him how to smoke and now they like to chill and smoke together it’s like “their thing” - But he’s really picky about it he only smokes indica - (This is me projecting) Learned the phrase “if u feelin froggy then jump” and never stopped using it

Skwisgaar - shaves e v e r y t h i n g bc of 1) the aesthetics and 2) loves the way it feels - long lovely legs - huge fucken feet - has a klokateer pluck and tweeze his eyebrows them shits be on fleek - cries in secret at least once a day it’s become routine - He kept in touch with his Swedish gf for a while but then fell off and went back to hoeing #hoe4lyfe - Secretly wishes he can go back to wearing all white but he has to maintain brand recognition bc of the band - Wears very slight sweet smelling cologne behind his ears and wherever else cologne goes - Either eats a fuckton or not very much during the day,, keeping his metabolism on her toes - Guitar playing for him is like ultimate stress relief and also he fidgets with it he loves that thing - Has a book of various songs or riffs that he’s written on the guitar that dethklok will never ever use - Wears highlighter - Has run into one of his grown ass children in the bank one time and had to get the fuck out of there immediately,,they didn’t realize it was him tho -  Puts his feet on nathan just to bother him - Great teeth / really conscientious about hygiene - Cold hands and oily skin type - He has a pretty good sense of rhythm but ,, he can’t dance he can’t dance for shit oh my god it’s a disaster to look at - “I look like I can’t cook… that’s accurate” - When he drinks wine he does that thing where he swirls it around like a bougie piece of shit - Lactose intolerant :/ - Talks with his hands a l o t it’s over dramatized and very fascinating to watch - Responds to compliments with “I know”

Murderface - closet gay*   *gay but he grew up in such a homophobic environment so he tries to ignore it and pretty much force himself to be straight, explaining his constant trouble with women (Bc the attraction isn’t genuine ) and his fragile masculinity (so he’s always a “fellas is it gay to-“ or a “no homo” type of guy ),, his self esteem issues don’t help this out at all - big fuckin crush on skwisgaar (and skwis loves the attention) - sleeps with a retainer - hair is so dry,,,,,,please give this man some conditioner oh my god - knows pretty much everything about the civil war and the American revolution literally ask him anything he’s like a textbook - Somebody come get this man a pedicure - He has a lot of fans and they adore him it’s just that he’s oblivious to it,,, ppl love murderface!! - He’s not as ugly as he thinks he is or that people make him out to be, it’s just that people may think that only Bc the rest of Dethklok is so pretty. He kinda just ends up looking the worst by four-way comparison. It’s just a different type of look he has there’s nothing really wrong with his appearance - Imma go head and say it,,,he uses “y’all” - He and toki have actually made some decent songs for planet piss but it’s usually when they’re jamming out so they pretty much never get recorded 🤷🏽‍♀️ or remembered - He can move his dick voluntarily I mean I already knew that people with dicks can do this but murderface has like a whole new level of control with his - Got banned from Fintrolls bc he pissed in the olives but he just keeps coming back bc what are they gonna do? nothing - He takes his weapon/torture device collection very seriously like when u walk into his room u better not touch a damn thing or so help me -

Pickles - has nose piercings but doesn’t wear em - Small ear gauges - Strong toned legs especially shins and calves - Has not had a swig of h20 in 6 years but somehow has nice skin (a mystery) - Loathes Seth but absolutely a d o r e s  the baby!!! He loves that damn baby and always appreciates when Seth or amber send pics or FaceTime call !! Fuckin uncle pickles!! - Helps toki compose his keyboard parts for songs (Bc he too can play the piano) - Kinda flexible but not as he used to be,,he used to be able to do a full split - Likes to bug Charles a lot bc they’re the closest in age , sometimes they hang they’re good buds - Watches shitty reality tv (bad girls club, LHHATL (it has to Atlanta), etc) as a guilty pleasure - Kind of an asshole but in a way that leaves u wanting more - Played basketball freshman year of highschool,, he was ass at it lmao - Idk how much this has to do with being a headcanon but if pickles was a vine he’d be “I said whoever threw that paper, ya moms a hoe” he just carries that energy - Smells like a light combination of weed and cologne it’s really nice - Will tell one of his band mates to go blow their nose if they’re sniffling too much

Nathan - doesn’t like it when people touch his hair without asking but HOWEVER if u ask before u do he’d probably say yes ,, just gotta warn him first damn - Hates hates h a t e s feet it’s like a weird squirmy phobia. He’s ok with his own feet and just *seeing* other peoples feet but let someone’s bare foot touch him and he’d probably black out tbh - Really socially awkward outside of his stage presence but I think we all knew this - Nathan’s really sweet he just ,, u gotta know him - Really emotional when he’s drunk - Secretly cussing out everyone in his head - He doesn’t completely dislike physical affection but he’s not crazy about it either - Also kisses with his eyes open (but unlike toki he’s trying to work on it) - Dad bod but we all knew this too - Slightly introverted ..he likes to party and shit but can only take that much social interaction for so long then it’s time for him to go home - Eyes are so striking and pretty oh my god it’s like they’re shining it’s all his gfs favorite thing about him - ,,,,,,,thicc - He’s one of those people that rip off their hangnails instead of cutting them 😖 - He can throw down on the grill goddamn why isn’t he in charge of snacks? - Knows how to suture a wound with some level of proficiency - He loves his parents he just hates how they embarrass the fuck out of him god leave me alone mom and dad! - This is ironic to the last thing but remember that video where it was like “son let me hear some of your music” “I don’t think you’d like it” “c’mon let me listen” and the song is just “I hate my dad I hate my dad I hate my dad” the whole time yea that was Nathan in high school - Strong arms (b,,beautiful) - As a kid he used to poke at roadkill for uhh entertainment - Used to be self conscious about his reading glasses but doesn’t gaf anymore - Severe case of resting bitch face he’ll literally be chillin but his face will be mean muggin but that’s just the way he looks - Tried PCP and ended up having to be chained to his bed betcha he’ll never smoke that shit again - likes crime investigation shows and serial killer documentaries - Will n e v e r  refuse a fresh hot salted pretzel

ღ Dark and Kyri maybe ?

thanks!! its super long so i put it under the cut :0 (i also left out a few questions bc they didnt really apply)

Who’s the first to wake up in the morning:

hmm, i dont think either of them would wake up early habitually, but i feel like Kyri might from time to time because he’s excited to do something that day!

Who’s the one to make breakfast:

i don’t think he’d /make/ breakfast but Kyri might go down the street to get donuts or something!

Who’s the one to serve the other breakfast in bed:

again, Kyri would “””serve””” donuts in bed because he’s a goof.

Who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work:

i mean, either of them probbaly, but since Dark is the one that actually has a job i think Kyri would suggest that haha

Who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day:

again, its Kyri. he’s a Bad Influence. Dark would refuse most of the time but he might offer to bring Kyri to work, that’d be cool.

Who chooses the movies:

Dark prefers to!! Kyri would pick Godzilla all the time and Dark needs variety, thank you!!!

Who initiates kissing during the movie thus distracting the other from the movie all together:

it depends on the movie and who picked it, so both? both at the same time probably why do they even bother trying to watch a movie.

Who orders lunch:

Dark probably, Kyri would be indecisive and would want to order like, sweets or something.

Who steals food from the other’s plate without asking:

both!! its a battle!! but they really dont mind but they act like its a big offense for fun haha.

Who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy:

Kyri :)

Who distracts the other from trying to work at home:

Dark is the one with the job and i doubt it ever requires him to work from home, so maybe as a way to get back at him, he bugs Kyri while he’s doing homework or something.

Who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old:

Kyri would play up the little kid angle but they both want ice cream most of the time!!

Who takes pictures of their partner eating ice cream:

Dark is always taking pics of the bf :’)

Who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on their partner’s face:

both honestly?? why does it hav to be either/or lmao. they’re both vulgar boys lmao

Who stares at their partner while their sleeping:

both, but i feel like Kyri does more often bc he generally has more energy and he’s just excited to be with Dark haha.

thanks again!! send me a oc ship to talk about for these questions!

tokyo - alternate.

if they wouldn't share the same flight Jerome would just stand defeated in the airport tbh if Julien had to leave first. He'd just let voices pass along him because he doesn't care to pay attention. BUT okay. He walks around and i feel Julien would spot him first because he's just paying attention to nothing in particular with him being so tired and emotionally drained and ;-; its so strange because Jerome hasnt felt visibly small since he arrived in Korea, in need of protection or a safety net. But Julien would just protect Jerome with these things when people question and bug him about it and Jerome just gets visibly uncomfortable and pained to Julien and oh mygOD

He overhears some idols talking about who's hooked up w who and the mention of Jerome and that model catches his attention; he's ready to yell at them and chastise them for their actions but it's a flash of a camera that stops him. It's a reminder that they're in public, and he can't be like that in public. But while waiting for Jerome he finally sees him and jogs over to catch his attention. There'd be a light touch of Julien's hand on Jerome's back, guiding him to an area in the airport lounge that's relatively quiet and empty before having a seat. "Hey;;" he'd murmur softly, sitting next to him "did you get some rest?

JULIEN MY SON IN LAW. The fact that he almost broke his public presence when it was about Jerome hurts me so much? But Jerome is hardly paying attention until he feels the hand on his back and he's startled but the second he sees it's Julien he relaxes instantly, eyes lighting up just like they did every time he received a text. He just follows him without a word, his expression telling enough even with half of his face obscured with the black mask. They walk until the lounge and Jerome can't stop looking at him, sometimes letting his gaze fall to the floor but never in front of him, trusting him enough to guide him. And when they reach the lounge they'd sit together and he hears Julien ask him that, eyes falling to concentrate on his hands folded between his legs. "No." He mumbles truthfully behind the mask. He felt like he should've lied, say he rested up nicely but he couldn't. He dodges questions with Julien but would never lie. Could never lie. He doesn't like lying. Lying hurts. And he could and would never lie to the person he cares for the most. That's what Marie did. Lie. And he hates her for it. "Not after you left." He'd look at him then with an expression that almost told him not to feel guilty about it. Because there is nothing to be guilty about, only to feel special over that /he/ was the one that got him to sleep. He'd pull his facemask down then to make himself more heard instead of muffled under the fabric. "Did you? You still looked so tired."

UGH YES. They're lucky he didn't clock them honestly. Especially bc they don't know the truth and they should be the ones that know how rumors go better than anyone. But they'd just be sitting in a corner and Julien has his book in his lap and his americano in his other hand while listening to Jerome. He'd frown that Jerome couldn't sleep, but he'd nod in understanding but smile softly and pull off his own mask. "No, I just ended up reading and getting ready. Couldn't sleep." But he'd hold out his iced americano "want some? If not, maybe you can sleep on the plane?

Ok but sleep deprived Jerome who is feeling all types of way and couldn't vocalize shit just when he was in such close proximity now feels a bit bold and he'd just sigh softly before humming. He'd stare at the drink for a moment before refusing it but showing gratefulness at the offer. He doesn't have much energy and even drinking would feel like a choir, even if the drink would help him get energized for moment. "I'd crash. Worse than now." He says, rubbing his eye before letting himself slouch down in the seat, eyes closing for a moment. head lolled back slightly. "Hmm. Plane. Maybe." He'd take in a breath. "Maybe I can even sleep here." and he'd stay like that for a moment, just eyes closed and looking like he was about to fall asleep before he'd open them again, looking directly at the other again. Boldness sets in. "Why didn't you stay? The night? We'd both would have a good sleep. I think... I think we could've come up with an excuse..You're my friend right? My best friend.. My.." He doesn't finish the sentence, instead starting a new one after a swallow and an averted gaze. "It wouldn't be that strange, would it? Two friends... together.. spending the night." He'd let his gaze fixate on something that happens in the distance, a couple walking, a few idols standing around, the lights of the signs. "It would've made you less reliant on that." Blindly he points at the coffee cup before he lets his hand drop to push himself up straight again. "Would've made me look less.. dead.:" He says this all in a very hushed tone, only speaking to Julien and no one else. He'd hunch forward, elbows on his thighs as he places the palms of his hands on his eyes to rub again. "Ah, I haven't looked like this in a while." PhOnE cAlL. He'd just sit like that for a tad bit until he moves his head so his hands are holding up his face as he looks at Julien again, his eyes slightly watery and red from the tiredness and rubbing he just did. He changes the subject. "Do we actually sit next to each other.. on the plane? Or..." and ok the reason for this sudden rush of boldness is everything combined. The location isn't just them. Though he was staring at him the whole way to where they are seated now it was more of a /Julien I can finally see you/ moment. And he was a bit in awe. But now he feels the need to talk, even if his words seem from wherever, he wants to talk to Julien. im- rip

And if Jerome wanted to get some sleep in the lounge, Julien would be okay with it. He'd even lend his jacket to cover Jerome like a blanket if he needed it;;;; although when Jerome asks him that, Julien kind of freezes. Why is Jerome asking for such a thing from him? Julien would bite down on his lip, dropping his gaze and giving a little shrug to feign nonchalance, but his ears start to turn a rosy shade. "Maybe if I stayed we'd still be in the room instead of here," he'd murmur, pausing to sip from his americano. "Wouldn't that be more strange than a slumber party between... best friends?" He asks. And he says best friends after a pause bc at this point, he's starting to feel a little confusion about what he and Jerome are. Are they more than friends? Just best friends? It's complicated, he thinks. But he throws the idea to the back of his mind. Instead, he takes another sip of his drink, watching as Jerome rubs his face before looking at him. "I mean. I'm sure we could probably sweet talk whoever is in the next seat over to switch, if you'd like that. It'd make the flight much more bearable." And they talk. It's soft and mumbled to each other but it's a talk;;;;;

Jerome would gladly fall asleep now, head resting on Juliens shoulder and jacket covering him. But he tries to stay awake. So he talks. And thoughts slip out. But Juliens answers peak his interest. He's looking at him then so he'd notice the reddening of ears but just barely because hes's registering Juliens answer. Would they? Would they still lay together then? Still with Juliens arms around his waist and his back against Juliens chest, just eyes closed and bathing in the warmth that left too soon. Did Julien just admit he'd hold him for so long then? Did Jerome hear it correctly? He just blinks and tries not to let his skin colour because it would be too noticeable on his paled skin, he flushing slightly though, not having the power for anything let alone stop something like that. "Mhm. Might be. Might not be. All I know is that I wouldn't mind. I don't mind things when they involve you." He admits, a slight play on the words he barely whispered in the night when the other asked him if holding him was okay. He ends up leaning against him when Julien finishes talking, his eyes closed against but this time he doesn't look like he's drifting off into sleep. "I'd like that. We'd be able to..." and he leaves his sentence there, eyes closed, head against Juliens shoulder, thoughts a jumbled mess. ;-;

TBH and Julien will shut anything down so fast. And Julien's ears would be rosy and his cheeks a light pink as he holds his book and drink while Jerome sleeps. And it's true, really. Julien would be able to sleep. They'd be curled up and the entire day would pass by but they'd be asleep until finally waking up after being well rested. But julien would hum softly. "I wouldn't mind either," he'd murmur. And honestly with Jerome sleeping, julien would sit and stay still, simply reading and drinking from his coffee before it's their turn to get on the plane. And he'd gently nudge Jerome, shaking his shoulder "time to board."

The sunlight would pour between the curtains like honey, illuminating the two sleeping figures but not awakening them. They'd just be close and intimate and in their sleep there is no things to hold them back but to curl against one another under the warm blankets. THEM WAKING UP AFTER THOUGH. Jerome would turn around in Juliens arms after just a while of just them wakening up and their noses would touch and both look like disheveled messes but they both look so beautiful and Jerome just stares at him in the low light of the sun through the window aND WOW I GOTTA STOP THIS DIDNT HAPPEN WHY AM I TYPING SM???? JUMPS but Jerome is against his shoulder and he catches only parts but he's content with letting go. Time would pass and when Julien would awaken him he's blinking his eyes open after moments and the lights would hurt, getting a bit teary eyed because of it but he's looking at Julien now before nodding and reluctantly moving his head off of his shoulder. He stretches, raised hand finding his eye to rub the sleep out of it, yawning. He stays seated for a bit, hands now on his lap, eyes half closed as he looks at whatever is happening in the background before getting up, extending a hand to Julien with not much thought, just natural impulses, as he tries to find his ticket-

he finds it much easier to sleep with Jerome around. ALSO AGREED THO. Like they probably would have overslept and woke up like that but it's so slow and lazy for them, neither of them want to get out of bed. Julien even probably wonders if they could stay another night so they can sleep;;; as soon as Jerome is awake and no longer leaning on him Julien stretches, rising up from the seat with his book tucked under his arm and drink almost finished. But julien actually reaches out and takes his hand in his for a few moments too, mostly bc he's telling himself that he's just leading him from his seat and it means nothing. Ugh these cuties.

Ugh but ok when Julien takes his hand Jerome actually doesn't let go. He doesn't want to. He's standing up and finds his ticket, glancing down at it whilst his hand sits comfortably in Juliens for moments too long but not to be let go of. "Lead the way." He'd say quietly as he glances away from his ticket

Julien would lead Jerome to the gate and would only let go to present his ticket to the agent but once he gets it back he's already grabbing Jerome's hand and heading to the entrance of the plane "I'm sure our managers are fine sitting together," he'd murmur, leading Jerome to where he was assigned;;;;;

rIP Jerome just follows him, shuffling along, almost looking disappointed when Julien has to let go of his hand but their hands are connected again soon after and he feels ok again. I think around this time he doesn't want to leave Juliens side, like at all, so he'd just nod and "They have no choice anyway." said in hushed tone as they walk through the plane. Because honestly tired emotionally drained Jerome will have it be known if his manager complains, but she wouldn't because Jerome rarely looks this bad and she remembered dealing with him during the times of his debut and the phone call and all that, that she rather avoids him like this all together. And Julien is a good influence, she thinks. If the seats would be empty still Jerome wouldn't let go of his hand, instead they'd sit down together and the second they do Jerome's head rests against Juliens shoulder, hair tickling Juliens neck as he just curls against him and gets comfortable, and he would just cover their connected hands with his other one, no time to waste. He has to catch up on what they had back in the hotel room.

and honestly Julien's manager knows how Julien gets and kind of lets him do his thing. He's had to sit next to people before e.g. Azumi bc she's afraid of flying, and his manager knows him so she doesn't mind either. Their managers would probably just be friends at that point. But with Jerome curled up against him and trying to get rest, Julien can't seem to sleep just yet. He's too worried about Jerome, hoping Jerome can actually sleep on the flight, so he instead spends the flight reading and keeping an eye on the man next to him during the entire flight;;;;

AND yo Julien is so precious. Jerome sleeps like a baby on the plane, having fallen asleep just moments after the plane took off. He'd murmur in his sleep some incoherent sentences, hands sometimes holding onto Juliens a bit tighter before relaxing and having his head turn a bit on his shoulder. A peaceful look is plastered all over his tired face that wasn't there when he opened the door to his hotelroom or when he came into the airport. He feels at ease now. Serene in the moment of just holding onto Julien and knowing nothing could hurt him. HONESTLY when Jerome eventually awakens he looks like a disheveled puppy, blinking his eyes open and yawning slightly before looking first at their connected hands he refused to let go off in his sleep and then up to Julien who looks so handsome behind the veil of awakenings.

he occasionally turns to watch Jerome sleep before returning to his book and he knows some people are glancing over bc they still can't figure out how the two are so close bc they're so different. But when he awakes Julien still looks hella exhausted but he smiles softly at Jerome. "Good morning, sunshine. We're back in Seoul." And he'd give his hand a squeeze ;;;;;

Jerome sees him as he blinks his sleepy eyes awake and notices the lack of sleep written over his face. But he also notices the smile and his heart leaps. "You're the sunshine-" He murmurs back quietly as eyebrows knit together in a slight frown of concern when he takes a second good look at him after glancing down at their hands again. With the one hand free from the warm grasp of Juliens, he lets it caress over his cheek for a moment, bumping up his glasses clumbsily in his sleepy state as he just lets the natural action play out. He only stops brushing his digits over his cheek when he comes to the realization that they are still on a plane, still in public, not under the warm blankets of a Tokyo hotel room. He lets his hand drop, retreat as you will, to have it fall in his lap. But not before he whispers. "You haven't slept, you should have slept." Thumb brushing along his cheek bone before eventually dropping his hand. "Why haven't you slept?"
