#be it comfort foods nostalgic movies a random smell or sound

[kindred-spirit-93]

when you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! then, send to your last ten people in your notifs (anonymously). you never know who might benefit from spreading positivity.

hello! currently overwhelmed with work, and seeing this in my inbox made me smile, so thank you very much :D

quite generic (or maybe not?) but my faith! my hijab among other things gives me peace of mind and in this day and age its quite a commodity. i have plenty to work on of course and much room for improvement, but overall its my first line of defense ^-^

my platonic soulmate <3 love her to death and cant wait to see her again soon hopefully (long distancing sucks my dudes) and my family, immediate and extended.

been stress eating quite a bunch, could absolutely go for several blueberry cheesecakes or cry into bowl of pasta and pesto lol. mm pizza..

fun fact: the reason people associate comfort with food and seek it in times of stress is because it mimics the body's 'rest and digest' response that redirects blood flow to the digestive system (among other things) as part of calming down.

my current hyperfixations and obsessions if im being honest. theyre my main source of the happy chemicals (and sometimes the less than happy ones lol). also, ive recently taken up embroidery! havent done anything yet but i look forward to it :)

sometimes its the small things that take my hand and tell me theres still much to life worth living: the sky just before a sunset, the birbs at my windowsill, a breeze that makes the paper bunting of ramadan lanterns still hanging crinkle slightly. stopping to smell the roses really.

New Fic Challenge: the NOSTALGIA CHALLENGE!

Deadline: Feb 15, 2021

This is an open-ended challenge with extremely loose rules, but the idea is for us to get to know a little something about our wonderful writers, using memories and things from our past as inspiration. It is scheduled this way because a lot of nostalgia-related things are holiday related, but it doesn’t have to be holiday fic. 

Guidelines:

Think of things that make you nostalgic. It could be anything: a book, a TV show, a movie, a food, a toy, a person, a sense memory.

Write a fic using one or more of the things on your list. If you want to really challenge yourself, use 3 or more.

If you need stricter rules, then the rules are: choose 2 Nostalgia Prompts from the list below and write a fic with that as inspiration. Or perish. (Note: those prompts might be helpful just for brainstorming even if you don’t follow them exactly.)

As usual, you can use any genre, any ship, any pairing. Your story can be any length, and you’re welcome to use this challenge to start a multi-chapter that continues after the deadline.

Submission instructions: Please tag your stories with “fic challenge” and “nostalgia challenge.” In your author’s note, tell us what nostalgia inspiration(s) you used and share your personal connection to them. You don’t have to say a lot, just a few words about what the Thing(s) means to you.)

Note: If you are participating in @writethehousedown​’s Ficmas and have a story/stories that fit both challenges, please make sure to submit to WTHD FIRST and then here second (either by submitting the WTHD link for me to reblog, or making sure to tag them in the A/N), since our deadline is later.

Nostalgia Prompts:

When I hear the word “nostalgia,” this comes to mind immediately:

This song makes me feel warm and fuzzy:

This song reminds me of my favorite person:

This song always makes me cry:

I shipped it before I knew what shipping was:

My favorite TV show(s) when I was younger:

This food reminds me of my favorite holiday:

My favorite holiday tradition:

My most hated holiday tradition:

The best present(s) I ever got:

A toy I desperately wanted as a kid but never got:

My favorite vacation destination growing up:

What I wanted to be when I grew up:

Oldest piece of technology I remember using:

First novel I loved:

I wasn’t supposed to, but I did it anyway:

When I smell this, I think of home:

A sense memory that has stayed with me for years: (Ex: my grandmother’s perfume, the sound of leaves crunching, a song I connect to a specific time/place, etc)

Something that has always brought me comfort:

But wait...is there a randomizer?! Why yes, of course there is!

Thank you so much to the multi-talented @purecamp​ for providing the lovely art for this challenge.

Cotton candy! I actually get super bad headaches from bubblegum.

Probably lonely genius...

5. do you prefer to drink soda from soda cans, soda bottles, plastic cups or glass cups?

Soda bottles!! I feel so fancy!! And old-timey.

6. pastel, boho, tomboy, preppy, goth, grunge, formal or sportswear?

7. earbuds or headphones?

Aren’t these the same thing? I think I prefer over-ear headphones, but I don’t really like either.

9. favorite smell in the summer?

Potato salad.

10. game you were best at in p.e.?

Frankly, I wasn’t good, but I was really good at pissing all the jocks off-

11. what you have for breakfast on an average day?

I make myself these homemade egg mcmuffins. I enjoy them a lot. I am very picky about breakfast.

12. name of your favorite playlist?

I only have one and it’s very generic: The Gay From Rulid’s Playlist. Yes it’s on Spotify. Yes, it’s 99% anime openings and endings and maybe Bet On It from HSM2. Be ashamed of me. Go on.

13. lanyard or key ring?

Lanyard! Mine is a BNHA one I bought from an artist at Nekocon!

14. favorite non-chocolate candy?

Either Sweet Tarts or Nerds. 

16. most comfortable position to sit in?

I usually have one leg tucked up under me and the other stretched out.

17. most frequently worn pair of shoes?

A black and white pair of Skechers. They look like shit. They almost never are replaced by another shoe. Not even in the gross muggy heat.

18. ideal weather?

When it’s just warm enough to wear a t-shirt and sit in the sunshine, but cool enough that I’m not hot, and a little breeze is going. I think of this weather quite often. 

19. sleeping position?

On my belly kinda spread out like a shounen protagonist.

21. obsession from childhood?

J.R.R. Tolkien. Have always been obsessed with him and his works. 

22. role model?

Redundant, but Tolkien again. Linguist and writer. Living my dream. 

23. strange habits?

I unplug things like microwaves, lamps, and TVs when I am done using them. Very little remains plugged in at my place. The modem, the fridge, and the clock. That is it.

24. favorite crystal?

Amethyst. It’s my sister’s middle name. And I especially like the purple ones.

Curl up in the sun on a blanket and nap. 

27. favorite activity to do in cold weather?

Hot cocoa blanket cuddles.

Let’s go with Born This Way (the first person I came out to sent me that song so it feels special!), I’m Free to Be Me by Jamie Grace, Praying by Kesha, Shake It Off by Taylor Swift ( @delicateeuphorias​ would you believe it xD), and right now thinking about someone dear to me who’s been gone See You Again is stuck in my brain.

30. places that you find sacred?

Arboretums or big botanical gardens where I can get lost in the plants for a moment and take in how pretty they all are. And old monuments/big things people of the past built. A lot of things were built by people with no rights/freedom and I think about them and how despite the fact that they had nothing, they made such a lasting impact on our world.

*slips on my Owari no Seraph cosplay* I will kick ass in this sweet ass cape-

36. what is the first meme you remember ever seeing?

Fucking CAN I HAS CHEEZBURGR cats.

38. lemonade or tea?

Tea!

39. lemon cake or lemon meringue pie?

Oh cruel I looooove lemon. The pie!

40. weirdest thing to ever happen at your school?

In high school here- so, aside from me being the resident weirdo (I DID come to school dressed as the TARDIS), my senior class decided to squirt hundreds of bottles of chocolate syrup on the sidewalks. We were an open campus so it’s all in front of our classroom doors- we had no hallways. And then they. They fucking EGGED ALL THE DOORS. The whole campus smelled like...ick.

41. last person you texted?

My father and mother in a group text to cry about customers treating me poorly. 

42. jacket pockets or pants pockets?

I prefer the jacket pockets because I still haven’t found a way to get men’s pants under the radar of my ever-watchful parents and women’s jeans pockets are SHITTY. Women gotta boycott this shit it is UNACCEPTABLE-

44. favorite scent for soap?

Peppermint...peppermint ^-^ I like to smell like...mint.

45. which genre: sci-fi, fantasy or superhero?

Fantasy!

46. most comfortable outfit to sleep in?

47. favorite type of cheese?

Pepper jack, Swiss, or ricotta. 

48. if you were a fruit, what kind would you be?

Strawberry :3

50. what made you laugh the hardest you ever have?

I’m gonna sound so gay but when @disasterbikirito​ started laughing about a certain GIF and his laugh was so infectious I couldn’t help but laugh too. 

51. current stresses?

Are you shitting me it’s everything. Every. Single. Thing. I cannot breathe. I am having meltdowns. Someone fucking save me I cannot deal with COVID well.

52. favorite font?

Garamond for writing in my free time, Doulous SIL for all the linguistics IPA symbols my greedy heart desires. 

53. what is the current state of your hands?

Smooth but my fingertips have been gnawed on. I am stressed, okay?

54. what did you learn from your first job?

Gosh, lots of things. But the most important takeaway is that a good boss will genuinely care about you. I miss that man. He was so wonderful and so caring and taught me so much about theater. Technical things and artistic things and historical things. Sometimes I wish I could have made a career out of working under him. 

55. favorite fairy tale?

Beauty and the Beast (AH...AH...I SEE YOU ROLLING YOUR EYES BECAUSE I’M TRANS. I KNOW. I *KNOW*.)

56. favorite tradition?

It’s a family tradition kinda unique to my household. Each year, we draw a name from a hat, and that name comes with a lot of words that describe us and what we liked over that year. We then each take a $20 bill and we go to a little hobby shop with cheap things in it and use that $20 bill to fill a Christmas stocking. We then hang them back up and empty the stocking full of candies and random silly things and have a good laugh and guess who filled whose stocking. 

57. the three biggest struggles you’ve overcome?

The first one is coming to terms with knowing my dad has a severe illness. It really shook my family up, and it’s terrifying us right now with everything going on, but after a while, I learned that he was smiling, so I could smile, too.

The second one is my mother coming back from her tour in the Middle East on top of the murder of my godmother. Two very stressful things happened at once. My mother got very violent from her PTSD and her best friend died in a horrible way. It was an adjustment for everyone, and it kind of ripped my family to pieces. I can say, though, that my parents are still married and are getting better, and my sister and I are coming back to the family to be more open and healthy.

The third, and maybe some of my followers are aware, was getting rid of my ex-fiance. He was a man who sexually assaulted me repeatedly and I won’t go into details beyond that. It took me 5 years to get rid of him and accept what happened, but I am a much happier person now and while I work through the trauma that caused me, I have the most wonderful partner by my side and if you had told me back then I’d find someone as kind and patient and loving as him, I would have laughed and thought you were insane. 

59. if you were a video game character, what would your catchphrase be?

Probably what I put on all my fanfic updates: “I know. I’m an asshole.”

60. if you were a character in an anime, what kind of anime would you want it to be?

Some kind of shoujo romance but it’s bi also I want a sword.

61. favorite line you heard from a book/movie/tv show/etc.?

There was nothing more smartass than Alice Synthesis 30 in SAO 18 asking a reporter to open up his head and prove he was human I’m sorry like OOF-

63. five songs that would play in your club?

Get in losers, we’re playing Steppin’ Out by FLOW, Elle me dit by Mika, Blue by Eiffel 65, ADAMAS by LiSA, and Touch Off by UVERworld.

64. favorite website from your childhood?

I was on Webkinz more than I want to admit. 

65. any permanent scars?

Yup. I have one on my toe where I split the skin in half. I tripped. I have three surgical scars from when I had my appendix removed. And...the mystery scar. I was supposedly born with a scar it’s at the part where my foot meets my leg on my left side and you can see how it’s stretched over the years if you run your finger over it. The joke is that the doctor taking out my mom’s appendix scratched me in the womb. 

67. good luck charms?

Not really a charm but I do have a little Kirito keychain I carry everywhere I go that I fiddle with when I’m nervous.

68. worst flavor of any food or drink you’ve ever tried?

Artificial bubblegum. Disgustiiiing.

70. left or right handed?

I am right-handed.

71. least favorite pattern?

Zig-zags. 

72. worst subject?

History...I am ashamed. It’s interesting, I just suck at it.

73. favorite weird flavor combo?

Gingerbread and marshmallow. I am a bit picky about mixing foods and flavors, so this was the weirdest I could think up. 

74. at what pain level out of ten (1 through 10) do you have to be at before you take an advil or ibuprofen?

Can you hear that? It’s my hysterical laughter. 12 on a scale of 10. I get up there pretty frequently. Thank you, chronic crippling pain. 

75. when did you lose your first tooth?

I...I don’t remember...I don’t even remember...I think I had to be like what...kindergarten? 

76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)?

THIS IS CRUEL I LOVE ALL POTATOS I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH-Au gratin.

77. best plant to grow on a windowsill?

Aloe!

78. coffee from a gas station or sushi from a grocery store?

Coffee from a gas station. Mark my words...I will never get grocery store sushi. Ever. Again. My stomach has not forgotten. What a mistake. That was. 

79. which looks better, your school id photo or your driver’s license photo?

So, my driver’s license hasn’t had an updated photo since I was 15 and just had a learner’s so I look like I want to murder a man but my school ID I had just run about a mile in the cold because the bus wasn’t running that day and my face is red and I look like I’m crying...probably the school ID...

80. earth tones or jewel tones?

Jewel tones~~

81. fireflies or lightning bugs?

I am from the South and we call ‘em lightnin’ bugs.

82. pc or console?

Errrrr console. I’m not a gamer by any means but there’s way fewer things to press on a console controller. 

84. podcasts or talk radio?

Neither...what...no...neither...they will put me to sleep...I will be out in seconds...the most dangerous things...people talking...and then I’m out...

84. barbie or polly pocket?

Barbie, she’s a LOT easier to dress. Those rubber clothes. SMH.

86. cookies or cupcakes?

Cookies but they gotta be the soft ones.

87. your greatest fear?

Being swallowed in the ocean. By a fish or a whale. I don’t play. Church kid don’t play with big things in the ocean with big mouths.

88. your greatest wish?

To make enough of a difference in someone’s life that they learn to love themself.

89. who would you put before everyone else?

Such a selfish thought...gosh...the mere thought of prioritizing someone troubles me. 

90. luckiest mistake?

Telling a cute guy sending me dog pictures was an excellent flirting technique as he sent me pictures of his puppy. I immediately thought “oh god I’ve fucked up bad” and at present we’re kinda head over heels for one another so maybe just be stupidly blunt once and a while you might find true love. 

91. boxes or bags?

Boxes. My cat didn’t force me to say that. Not at all. Sock, buddy, off the keyboard-

92. lamps, overhead lights, sunlight or fairy lights?

Sunlight. I like the sun. The sun is my friend. It is warm and would never betray me.

93. nicknames?

Sister calls me “spoony” when she’s being ridiculous. No, I don’t know what that means. Mama calls me “cakes.” I had friends who called me “Deku” because I’m a crybaby. Had a few people DM me and straight up call me “Eugeo” or “Eug.” AJ is technically a nickname. 

94. favorite season?

Springtime!!!!! It’s...HERE!

95. favorite app on your phone?

I use like three apps...so Discord.

It’s. It’s Kirito and Eugeo. What did you expect.

The Other Woman Part 2 [Requested]

msimpala67 , keepcalmandbeajunkie , shameless-danni , keep-calm-and-omfg-jensen-ackles , misspepinillo17 , and yunngarab.

I wasn’t planning on making a part 2, but all of the people above asked for more, so here it is.

PAIRING: Dean Winchester x Reader

WARNINGS: Probably Cursing, Drinking, ANGST, Possible Adultery

WORD COUNT: 1500

REQUESTED BY: justmasblack

Part 1 is right here. 

Dean didn’t necessarily know what he was doing to his girlfriend; he thought they were as happy as ever, but as time passed, he noticed that she seemed... different.

After he came back from the life with Lisa and Ben, his lover had seemed to distance herself from him. The little things that she did had suddenly disappeared from his life as though it didn’t exist. The way she laughed at him when he sang off-key in the car, the small smirks and looks she sent him when Sam tripped or fell, and the way she would run her fingers through his hair when they watched old movies together all vanished.

Dean sighed as he sat down on the couch in the motel room, and he glanced around for (Y/N), but she wasn’t in the house... again. It was as though she was purposely avoiding him, and he hated that.

The Winchester flinched as the door burst open, and he jumped to his feet, gun outstretched and ready, but he relaxed instantly as he realized it was his younger brother holding a large brown bag filled with junk food.

“Jesus, Sammy! Don’t do that!” He groaned loudly, and Sam rose his eyebrow at Dean’s reaction.

“Alright...” The younger male drawled his words out, slightly confused, and his elder brother rolled his eyes before asking, “Hey. Do you know where (Y/N) is?”

Sam stopped in his path before awkwardly clearing his throat, “Dude. She told you.”

Dean eyebrows furrowed at Sam’s answer, “What? When?”

Sam shook his head condescendingly before exasperatedly saying, “While you talking on and on and on about Lisa and Ben.”

Dean scowled at the youngest Winchester, and Sam put down the junk food on the motel table before sitting down in a chair, “Sit down, Dean. We need to talk.”

(Y/N)’s boyfriend hesitantly sat down in a nearby chair, “What is it?”

“You’re an idiot.” Sam’s answer was short and quick.

“Wha-” Dean began to talk, but his younger brother interrupted him, “No. Let me talk. You are an absolute idiot.”

Sam’s voice got deeper as his frustration became visible, and he glared at his only living relative, “Dean. You’re my brother, and I love you. But you are one of the most stupid people on this planet. How can you not see how much (Y/N) is suffering because of you?! Every time you talk about Lisa and Ben, she gets ignored by you, but she puts up with all this complete shit because she loves you! But you listen to me, Dean Winchester, if you love Lisa instead of (Y/N), save her the future heartache and bullshit that you’re going to cause!”

Sam took in deep breaths after yelling, and he sighed before running his hands through his long hair.

Dean stared at him, still absorbing the information that his brother had smacked him in the face with. Suddenly, his chest began to constrict as his head screamed at him, random memories immediately beginning to make sense.

The time (Y/N) looked so pained was because he was talking about Lisa’s barbecue party. The time when his girlfriend looked nauseated was due to the way he was proudly talking about Ben joining the soccer team. The time (Y/N) looked like she was going to cry was because he was talking about Lisa’s roast beef after Ben made friends. Dean groaned as he slammed his face into his hands; he had been such an idiot.

A surge of anger flowed through him as he got up; adrenaline pumped through his veins furiously as he kicked over his chair, effectively breaking it. Sam got up, panicked due to his brother’s sudden outburst.

Dean roughly grabbed his leather jacket, “Where is she, Sammy?! Don’t make me ask twice!”

His brother glared back straight at him, looming over him, “I’m not telling you jack-shit until you promise me you’re not going to hurt her.”

Dean flinched before angrily bellowing, “I’m going to hurt her, you damn giant! I’m going to apologize! Now tell me where she is!”

Sam hesitated before giving him the location, and Dean ran towards his baby before driving towards his destination, thoughts racing through his head.

(Y/N) was having a pretty good day compared to the days that she was forced to listen to his boyfriend talk about his future wife. Immediately, she had a bitter feeling in her mouth, and she forced it down by finishing her whiskey.

She coughed as the liquid burned her throat, and she lazily looked around the bar for Sam, who had promised to meet her here in 30 minutes. She sighed, obviously tired from life; the hunts, the drinking, and the nightmares were overwhelming her now that Dean wasn’t there to help her.

Dean- the name now left a bitter-sweet taste in her mouth.

Dean- the man who had loved her and took care of her while she was at her worst and her best.

Dean- the man who had broken her heart.

Her eyes began to burn as unshed tears stung, threatening to overflow, but she refused to let herself cry. The sound of the bar door opening was loud as it seemed to be anxious and desperate, and (Y/N) turned around slowly, hoping it was her best friend, and she flinched when she saw it was Dean.

The moment (Y/N) saw him, she immediately knew something was... different, but it wasn’t a bad feeling. It seemed nostalgic and comforting.

The moment Dean saw her, his heart broke; there were bags under her eyes, and her face was pale, contrasting harshly against her black leather jacket. 

The eldest Winchester instantly knew the reason of her bags and pale skin: the nightmares. She would toss and turn in the night, whimpers escaping her lips as she fought against the horrifying nightmares, but she never confided in him anymore; she stopped explaining them to him and held the burden alone.

Dean walked towards his girlfriend, and he was suddenly aware of the strong smell of alcohol, his fast heart beat, and the millions of anxious thoughts rushing through his brain. He stopped in front of his lover, and the silence was deafening although no one else was able to feel the tension. He grabbed her arm, and he dragged her outside the bar, not saying a single word.

They stood outside, and (Y/N) shivered in the cold air as the sky blackened vastly due to the time.

“(Y/N)...” Dean’s voice was threatening to crack, but he continued, “I’m so sorry.”

His girlfriend flinched at his words, confusion clearly seeping from her expression, and Dean held her hand softly, “I... I didn’t mean to talk about Lisa and Ben all the time... I am so damn sorry for acting like such an idiot; I didn’t even notice how much you were hurting because of me... I love you, (Y/N)- not Lisa. You.”

(Y/N) couldn’t react; she was too shocked. 

Gorgeous gleaming green eyes stared directly into wide eyed (e/c) orbs, and (Y/N) forced herself to think again.

“Dean... I...”

His grip on her hand tightened as she began speaking, and her heart warmed uncomfortably in her chest as it started to beat at an incredibly alarming rate. His rough callused hands differed from her own hands, which were soft even after all the years of hunting, and tears streamed down her face. 

Dean’s hands moved from her own hands to her face; his hands caressed her face before wiping away tears, and (Y/N) began sobbing, “You’re an idiot. You are such a god-damn idiot.”

Her boyfriend nodded along before pulling her into his chest, holding her tightly as if he were afraid that she was going to disappear, but (Y/N) simply hugged him back, “I love you too, Dean, but if you ever pull bullshit like this again, I’m dumping your sorry ass.”

Dean chuckled despite the circumstances, and he pulled himself out of the hug to examine her face. He winced when he saw the bags under her eyes up close, but he slowly leaned in. 

His lips gently landed on her soft ones, and he tugged her in, his arms around her waist as he slowly grinded against her. (Y/N) moaned into his lips, and Dean groaned as his girlfriend wrapped her arms around his neck before lightly pulling his brown hair. The Winchester forced himself to stop, struggling to ignore the thoughts of fucking her right there in public, and he kissed her forehead.

“I love you, (Y/N).” 

And once again, it was her decision. She loved him, and he crushed her heart. But she was okay with it, because she remembered all the times that he repaired it; she was in love with Dean. No matter how many times he broke her heart, it would still beat for him.

“I love you too, Dean Winchester.”

Okay, so I decided to get it over with. I rushed, so I apologize if you guys don’t like. Hope you enjoyed it tho! :)

Theychel Headcanons that @A-not-so-amazing-disaster and I thought up one morning on the PJO discord server Rachel teaching both Thalia and Reyna how to paint, until Thalia starts a paint war and they end up laughing like the dorks they are. -If anyone messes with any of the three the others would totally kick ass -Reyna braiding Rachel and Thalia's hair -They have sleepovers all th etime Thalia doing their makeup And Rachel doing body paint, they would have awesome halloweens I think Rachel would be the movie nerd, since she has the most experience with the "mortal" world, while Thalia would be the music nerd Them dragging the others to what they respectively nerd out to Omg imagine Reyna draggin them to a horse race yes! and Reyna spent so much time with Circe that she would know how to give some awesome massages they know each other so well that they know what kind of sented candles the others like smelling while having a massage -imagine them having a night in just relaxing with popcorn, movies, massages and just being with the other They met when the giant war ends, Reyna was in the camp for a while, Rachel would also be there and they bond while reconstructing evrything broken, and just laughing in the bonfire. Then Thalia comes with all the hunters of Artemis (and Reyna thinks she's super cute since they met in BoO) and they start having conversations with each other all the time, and after becoming best friends, they start to slowly fall in love? Then they get sent on this batshit insane quest when the Oracle is working again, and stop at a McDonald's. Thalia starts throwing chips at them, and it ends in a full scale food fight and then it clicks. They go on a road trip later on, Thalia cannot drive and they get pulled over. Then Reyna drives. Reyna is the kind of person who goes 5 miles above the speed limit and swears at every moving thing. Rachel is filming this and also films Thalia losing the map out of the window (and Thalia jumping out of the car to retrieve it). Reyna being nostalgic and telling them stories about Skippy. And then Thalia tells them stories about some of the hunters during the Titan War, and Rachel tells them stories about the battle of Manhattan. They end up crying in their tent over all the lost demigods, and making plans to start a museum so no one forgets what they did. Rachel would talk about her new prophecies maybe? Like when she haves an inkling that something will happen? And Thalia and Reyna help her figure everything out And Reyna and Thalia teaching Rachel how to fight. I think Rachel would also be awesome at the bow or throwing knives? You need to have a good aim to hit a titan with a hairbrush. And then Thalia and Reyna sparr together and Rachel checks them both out. I think Thalia would claim she would fight every monster in existence to comfort her girlfriends. And like Thalia and Rachel always get in a daze when they see Reyna talking about something she's really passionate about? since she doesn't always show her emotions they love to see her eyes light up with emotion Yes! And Reyna listening to Thalia nerd out to bands Because it's no lie that Thalia likes green day (Look at the Titans Curse at the school dance). Yeah, imagine her having a breakdown over some band splitting up and Rachel and Reyna comforting her while they all sing together? Reyna would give the best presents. She always knows exactly what to get for them. And you physically cannot surprise Rachel. Thalia would shop the last day and freak out, then has a stroke of genius and gives them something really good (Rachel and Reyna won't let her live down the chocolate shampoo ever). Thalia would steal Reyna and Rachel's shampoos' all the time. Rachel would do a painting of them all laughing for the holidays. Them wearing matching bracelets. The matching ugly Christmas sweaters. Yes! And them having the shirts (If lost return to Rachel) ( I don't want her, give her to Reyna) (I'm Reyna). Or Reyna has Keep Them on the back. Annabeth laughs her ass off when she sees it. And Thalia falls out of bed a lot because she has a side and Rachel kicks. Rachel makes so much mess. She leaves her drawing everywhere, Reyna trips over them at night and Thalia just puts a camera to record everytime Reyna falls (it has happened 49 times) But Reyna films whenever Thalia loses her keys and has to climb in the back window which Rachel leaves open for times like this (They refuse to lend her their keys because she needs to learn). Rachel would also be a cuddler, and the first time they sleep together Reyna blushes like crazy because hole fuck???? these two girls are so cute and they are willingly hugging me? And nightmares don't really happen that often anymore, they feel safe. Rachel makes sure the house always smells like lavenders. They get a dog, and it hops on the bed with them. And Reyna keeps complaining "Why do we have a dog? Aren't Aurum and Argentum enough?" Thalia always replies that they are cold and she needs warmth. But the dog and Reyna can be found asleep on the couch when Thalia and Rachel get home one night. Yes, at first she would be like "Ew, puppy" but then she falls in love with the dog. Thalia always has cold hands and feet, she likes to creep on Rachel and scare her. And so whenever Thalia has random splotches of paint on her Reyna knows she tried that again. Rachel on a natural reaction hits people and has accidentally given Thalia a black eye. Multiple times. Reyna just sighs, but melts at the cuteness of them. Reyna tickles Thalia Thalia is super ticklish, especially on her feet. She gives the cutest laugh when tickled, and it seems like happiness just radiates from her And then Reyna kisses her girlfriends and drags them to bed because those two would stay up till seven am if they're not made to sleep. Reyna first fell in love with her laugh. And her eyes. I was about to add that! She would always feel her stomach make turns when Thalia looked at her in the eye Neither Rachel or Reyna can reject her puppy face. ~~Theychel watching Voltron together~~ YES! Rachel loves Pidge, and jokes about Reyna being Shiro, and Thalia being Keith. Thalia emotionally connects with Keith, all while Reyna facepalms. They quote the show. They have meme wars about the show. Everyone is so confused on why they keep shouting ; I say Vol, you say? Vol...tron? Or: We had a bonding moment! I cradled you in my arms! Nope don't remember didn't happen. Rachel totally makes fan art. Thalia ships Shallura and Reyna ships Hidge. They want to have a cat after watching the show. But the dog (ironically called Rover) hates cats. Rachel ships Klance with her life. Rachel pretends to talk to the dog about robots and the dog just watches her confused. They have marathons. They all don't mind about Sha/Ladin but they don't ship it. I think they would take Lance as their meme son, and would explode laughing with his terrible attempts at flirting. They cuddle while watching, of course. Thalia says: fuck demigods, I want to be an altean. And Rachel spits out her coke a d mutters you are. And they cry so hard during crystal venom and the last two episodes. They have casual existential crisis about waiting. As they are dorks, they probably (definitely) have their own headcanons. Rachel is face down on the floor muttering about Pidges family. Tumblr mom Rachel sees the season 2 trailor first and the others find out when she spams their chat group with things like *"Shiro no"* and *"Why would you do this"* Reyna loves the Keith and Shiro being step-brothers, because it reminds her of her and Hylla. They would probably (definitely) freak out about the trailer. Thalia uses a lot of slang in her texts and it confuses Reyna Rachel watchs amused how Reyna scolds Thals about proper grammar Reyna Percy brotp where he lets her keep her phone at his mom's place so this way she always has a way of talking to her gfs. Yes! Percy and Annabeth ship them 3 so hard, Percy offers them blue cookies And when Thalia and Percy start fighting, it's up to Rachel to break them up Omg ~~Reyna lowkey wants to see who'll win~~ Reyna makes bets, all while cheering for her gf BUT THINK ABOUT WHEN REYNA AND RACHEL DIE AND THALIA IS STILL INMORTAL ;-; Thalia going to the funerals Crying so much ~~Thalia being upset about her dead girlfriends and goes all out and accidently dies in battle~~ And being reminded of everything they did together. And if both of them died in battle Thalia would probably spend ages tracking down the monster and killing it, but she gets killed instead (they would meet in the underworld, having an awesome time in Elysium and when Rachel and Reyna see Thalia enter they just bear hug the shit out of her ~~Nico telling them that if they want to do *that*, he knows a spare room they could use~~) And everyone is looking for Thalia and they find her body in a laistrygonian giants lair and everyone knows exactly what happened. (Sorry if this doesn't read very well, I'm on my phone and it's dying) (Also for those who find these in discord, I changed the order around a bit so it sounded better because we kept talking over each other)
