#but i literally just don't notice. anyone shorter than me is 'short' and anyone taller than me is 'tall'

[coquelicoq]

idk if this is just me but i can't tell you anything about the height of anyone who's not within like one inch of my height except that they're shorter than me or taller than me. my friends in high school had this elaborate thing happening around height order and i was just like, wait, you guys aren't all exactly the same height??? which i had to stop asking because it offended them. but in my defense if they weren't all the same height why were they always trying to prove who was taller. i have a friend who is considered by her family to be tall and when she told me this i had to very diplomatically not make my eyeballs into question marks because i had always classed her as "one of the short ones". i've since determined she is in fact taller than the average american woman but i'm just like. okay but the average american woman is short though.

ꨄ bf!harry with a taller!reader — headcanons

cw. suggestive content (smut but i didn't end it?), no use of y/n, much of a self insert tbh, girly!reader

wc. +500

note. i always see fics here with a shorter reader so here i am doing this for us tall girlies. besides harry in the movies is kinda short lmao and i am in fact taller than him. not sure if anyone already did something like this. english isn't my first language, sorry for any mistakes!!

ᡣ𐭩. harry isn't even a little bit ashamed about dating a taller girl, in fact he loves how tall you are and there are a few reasons for that.

ᡣ𐭩. when you two hug, even if standing up, harry can bury his face on your chest and he loves it.

ᡣ𐭩. harry has to lift his head/stand on his toes to kiss you. it's adorable and if you point this out teasing him he’ll be a little embarrassed, making it even cuter.

ᡣ𐭩. sometimes you playfully lift harry up while kissing (he likes it).

ᡣ𐭩. you constantly hear jokes around school, about how you should get into basketball or something because of your height. fred and george usually joke about your height difference with harry; it can be funny but you're so used to it that there are times it can be a burden—harry notices when you don't like it so he tells them to stop.

ᡣ𐭩. if you're feeling insecure about wearing heels, harry won't hold back on saying how pretty you are with high heels and how actually iconic you get by being even taller. he doesn't feel any shame about being next to you when you're so tall and neither should you.

ᡣ𐭩. when you tell harry your height makes you feel less feminine and this brings you sadness, he's stunned because he sees you like a graceful doll, with a seraphic aura adorning your girly figure all the time.

“darling, what do you mean by that?” the gryffindor asks, disbelieving your words, because how could you, who were always wearing your cute skirts, high socks and mary janes, say you didn't see yourself as feminine as you wanted to be?

“it's just… next to other girls i feel so big, like i’ll never be delicate like them. i know they think the same, and they're always joking about how no man will be attracted to me when i have this height and it gets so uncomfortable… i’m sorry, i shouldn't have told you this, it's so foolish,” you try laughing it off, however you can't even look away because your boyfriend’s hands are immediately cupping your face, keeping you two facing each other.

“it's not foolish if it bothers you,” harry's words come firmly. “what’s truly foolish are their words.”

no time for answer, the only thing you can do is gasp due to harry's hands already lifting you up and positioning you on the table, his fingers trailing lines close to the end of your skirt.

“should i mark you up, beautiful? so everyone sees how desired you are, regardless of your height? which, really, doesn't matter,” harry starts covering your neck with wet kisses, hands gripping tightly on the smooth skin of your thighs under your clothes.

“harry,” his name leaves your lips in a moan, the boy's efforts to have you forgetting about everything else working.

“so pretty for me,” his mouth is tracing you from your lips to your collarbone, worshiping every bit of your skin. harry's hands raise your skirt, showing your lacy white panties, a small wet spot on them.

“and people still have the courage to tell you you aren't feminine enough, angel? you're literally a doll, princess.”

42!Miles Headcannons

I am on a kick of Spiderverse, so Tumblr gets it-

Miles has separation anxiety with you, which got a lot worse when you started dating, him being the prowler and all

He cannot handle the sound of guns, it makes his anxiety race.

He'd never admit it but he genuinely likes your company, like he'll deny it then go out of his way to find stupid reasons to hang out with you. Which his mom plays into. Miles: Aye, Idiota. Come over. My mom misses you. Y/N: Ooookay? Rio, hugging Y/N: Y/N I've missed you, how've you been? Are you feeling okay? Have you been eating enough? Y/N, laughing: I'm okay Mrs. Morales, thank you for worrying about me though Miles: *Absolutely smitten by how you interact with his mom*

Leaves you gits randomly, like if he's out on a job with his uncle and he sees something he knows you'll like he'll swipe it (and leave money) and either leave it on your desk or put it on your window sill. You've yet to catch him

He HAS stopped and watched you sleep when he left you a gift, not in creepy way more like a "God... They're so perfect..." His eyes, hidden behind his lil mask, softened on you. He only left because the hallway light flicked on and he panicked. That was the loudest he had ever fled from somewhere, he didn't even close your window.

He is really artistic too, he has dozens of sketches of you in his sketchbook. You're his favorite thing to draw

Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for Miles wanting to kill someone for you. But he would only think it, he'd never actually act on those thoughts. He couldn't bear the weight of taking a life, even if it was for you. He's a vigilante, remember

As terrifying as he seems, Miles is a HUGE baby when it comes to getting hurt. He'll act like he's fine, but when he's with his Uncle or Mom he cries. Like ugly cries, he's a huge baby-

Has Trypanophobia (The Fear of Needles), hates the sight of them and cannot handle it when he has to get shots

When he cannot handle anything anymore he goes to his dad's Mural and just sits there, he doesn't talk or make any noise. He just sits against the brick, sometimes he cries, sometimes he doesn't but he's always there late at night so no one really sees him

He doesn't talk to anyone he actually has a crush on, like he's flirty as hell with everyone but the person he actually likes he's really blunt and distant. Like a dumbass

I can 100% see Miles being Omni, like he could like anyone as long as he's close to them

We all know Miles' sleep schedule is FUCKED, he's a Vigilante, he doesn't get to sleep much due to everything being at night. But he still gets good grades and sleeps when he can

This is literally one of his posts on Twitter and you CANNOT tell me otherwise-

He isn't really bothered by people who're taller than him, or people who are a few inches shorter. But if you're below his chin he's wary, he's heard enough from Ganke not to mess with people that short. "They have to climb to get things, I don't wanna mess with someone who climbs counters.

I can see him being taller than 1610!Miles, cause 1610!Miles is 5'8" so I can see 42!Miles being anywhere from 5'9 to 5'10". Like it's not a noticeable difference if you're not paying attention, ya know?

Miles does Photography, but it's more of a hobby. He doesn't plan on turning it into a career, but he does it when he's got the chance, his posts look like this

Bubbly_Rose and Vanilla.Coffee.Addict. Are both his mom, different accounts to support her son. Best mom 100%

Miles has dozens of playlists on spotify, most of which are for his friends and family.

Cat person but has a german shepard named Luna

Had dreads ONCE and decided he hated them, so he stuck to his braids

Miles can cook, really really well. His mom and him used to bond through cooking and now it's something he does when he's stressed or upset

Depending on how tired Miles is, is how he sleeps. If he's just a lil sleepy, his legs are kinda bent and his arms are by his head, HOWEVER, if it was after REALLY tiring job with his uncle he kinda just falls onto his bed and sleeps like that

He usually doesn't go to anyone for comfort and comforts himself unless it's really bad then he goes to his mom or (if he really REALLY trusts them) his significant other

Miles has a tendency to flinch/move away from any form of touch that's not from his mother. He gets pins and needles if he's not expecting a touch and it is almost painful, I wouldn't say he's touch-starved but with his mom working so much it's easy to see that he would be

The one thing that brings Miles' to tears is watching his mom work herself to the bone and never being able to take a break. It makes him so mad that he can't help her, without it being obvious, that it reduces him to tears

He cries when he's mad

He hates it when people go through his things or move them. He has everything in a place, everything has to be perfect. Major OCD when it comes to his room, it's his space and he wants it perfectly clean

Miles takes really good care of himself, he keeps himself in shape (outside of being the Prowler) and makes sure to eat and hydrate right

Miles. Is. A. Huge. Softie for little kids. He acts like he can't stand them but the minute he's flashed a toothy smile from a little kid, he can't help but smile back

He considers a few people who aren't family, his family like Ganke

His idea of "A Perfect Vacation" is going anywhere with his mom and Uncle. It could literally be a trip to his Paternal Grandmother's house, and as long as his mom isn't working he is perfectly content

Miles tends to bite his nails and chew on his lips when he's nervous

By FAR the strangest thing Miles has ever seen was one of his classmates straight up touching their eyeball, that happened when he was 13 and it still freaks him out

Miles accepts advice relatively well, he doesn't show it but he does

He hates most pictures, but there was a few that his version Gwen took of him.

He is horrible at talking to someone he's got a crush on, like worse than 1610!Miles ;-;

Miles wakes up before his mom, when she's home, and makes her breakfast, he eats, showers, and goes to school, comes home, does his homework, goes to his boxing class (curtesy of Uncle Aaron), and depending on the day either goes on a job or goes to sleep

He has a few scars on his face from one of the first few jobs he was on when he wasn't far enough away from a bomb when it went off

Ocra. He CANNOT with the texture of it.

He loves stormy weather, its relaxing to him

He loves Fall and winter, the crisp air makes him smile

As a way to waste time, he goes to the gym or draws

When Miles wakes up from a nightmare, he kinda just lays there until he puts his headphones on and falls asleep to whatever song he's listening to

Miles collects little doo-dads from the street, it gives him something to fidget with

Miles knows English, Spanish, and French. He had to take a second language class and he COULDN'T take Spanish, so he's relatively fluent in French

Miles is the type of person to give someone the tightest most affection hugs, like even if he's just friends with the person. Hugs are like "I love you"s for Miles, they're sparing things from him

If Miles had three wishes from a genie he'd wish for: 1. His mother to either be paid more or for her to work less 2. His city to have less issues 3. To talk to his dad again

CROSSOVER: Miles is a gryffindor, with a Kingfisher Patronus and an 11.25 in Applewood wand with Unicorn hair ((I don't support J.K. Rowling))

Miles saw you in his clothes once and it MELTED him, he physically leaned against the wall and smiled stupidly

If you don't typically wear glasses (despite needing them, like my dumbass) and you wear them around Miles. The first time he saw you in them, he was distracted enough he walked into a wall.

Miles will protest being called cheesy things likes "Babydoll", "Pumpkin" "Sweets", "Bubba", "Light of My Life", "Tater Tot" (this happened ONCE, "Sunshine", "Dumpling", "Bambie", and "Babyface". He genuinely loves it when you call him that. Specifically: Babydoll, Pumpkin, and Sunshine. He still likes the other ones but loves those more.

[tleeaves]

I feel like you've already described your appearance quite a lot but let's see if I've got the Vibe right and can return it right back to you like you did for me. Did you say you've got dark(ish) red hair? I know you're shorter than me, maybe about my youngest sister's height (which I realise tells you nothing but she's taller than my mum and so are you so idk). roundish or heart-shaped face. freckles? I think freckles. Not heaps, but some (more than me at least and I barely have freckles especially in winter I don't think they're really visible at all now). Across your nose (all super cute!) and skin I think a little lighter than mine, like a beige colour with a bit of pink undertones so it goes nicely with your hair (several colours of hair actually that you might try at different times, it works with different shades of brown as well). I think you're a little insecure about your skin but actually the main problem is you're surrounded by beachgoers who remind you a bit of the 'popular girls' at high school, skilled at makeup and with very complex nature-inspired skincare (healthy) and tanning (kinda dangerous in the qld sun) routines who say things like 'everyone can do it' and don't understand what it's like to be disabled (yet). you've also got short nails. hair down to your shoulderblades, a little wavy when natural or when it's humid. and you still wear tights in winter like a Victorian, only the comfy ones now (you also own a black puffer jacket you whipped out approx. 3 weeks ago), but you're incorporating more colours now you're in qld and realising it really suits you! and you're not sure about sandals. some days it's great, other days you want your feet to be safely tucked up in shoes and out of the weather and the grass and dust and sand.

Oh my goodness, this was such a fun journey to read. You are very good at capturing vibes. I'll go through in the order you mentioned to either confirm or slightly correct what you've put forward.

So, yes, currently I have dark red hair (looks ink-black in shadow, deep red in direct light, which is an effect I am obsessed with) because I recently re-dyed it burgundy. My natural hair colour is a very dark brown, which was mistaken for black a lot when I lived in Vic - I've noticed since coming here that my hair's lightened to a more noticeably brown hue (when not dyed, obviously) that's still dark but clearly not black anymore.

Knew I'd be shorter than you. Yeah, I'm a li'l one. And I'm so surprised you got my face right! Second guess, mine's heart-shaped. Not the most obvious heart, but it also literally just does not fit any other face shape, sooo... 'tis me <3

And yes! Freckles! I don't have as many as my mum, nor some of my redhead friends who seems to have more freckles than there are stars in the sky, but I actually do have a decent amount! (Admittedly, it runs in the British side of my family.) As in, while they may appear sparse and fairly spaced out, they're quite uncountable because of just how many there are. I literally lose track just trying to count them on one arm, let alone all over my body (because they're indeed all over my body, and my face). And I actually still get new freckles, even in winter (must be this Qld sun, honestly). I used to have some across my nose, and I still kinda do if you look closely, but I tend to have a pinkish nose and cheeks which hides the freckles (they are rather beige - they range from chocolate brown to beige/gold). My skin does have mostly pink undertones, so I appreciate the thought it goes well with my hair 🥰

You also got it right: I am a bit insecure about my skin. I get acne, which I never mind on anyone else but hate on myself, and it's really bad when I'm on my medication. It also induces a lot of the pinkness I get in my face from inflamed skin. The beachgoers definitely remind me of 'popular girls' in high school back in Vic. The women here are more often than not very tanned, looking flawless, and I know it's not great to compare myself to them, but I do. My skin's darkened since moving here, but I am still the resident 'Snow White' as well since my meds require me to stay out of the sun (more sensitive to burning while undergoing treatment). I'm also really pale for a Greek, which brings its own extra brand of shame, because all other Greeks I know (some immigrants like my grandparents, some not) have gorgeous olive skin (mine's still olive, but obviously very pale, and mixed with more of my British side's genes than the rest of my siblings).

Correct, I do also have short nails (musicians, eh? I wasn't wrong). Started the habit, never stopped, even now that my actual playing is infrequent. Only time they grow out is when I paint them and leave them for a couple weeks.

My hair is actually not quite down to my shoulder blades - I got it in a short sort of concave bob at my jaw (oop... twin moment between us here, is it??) last October, and it's grown out to sit juuust past my collarbones but not quite all the way past my shoulder blades. Maybe close to touching them. When wet? Possible halfway down them. Naturally, yes, my hair is wavy because of how thick and fluffy it is, and it definitely gets worse in humidity.

And, okay, I have tights for when I do boxing and karate, but otherwise it's just skinny jeans for winter, I swear. Although I still have a back-up pair as pyjama-wear. (...how do you know about the black puffer jackets?? Who leaked the Vic dress code? Although I'm actually partial to proper coats than the puffer jackets. I like pretty buttons.) But yes! I am dressing in more colours now, finding what suits me. It's pretty fun! I do go for my default black/white/gold colour scheme though fairly often because I like how striking it looks. Definitely not sure about sandals. I don't even really own a proper pair, just thongs (flip-flops for the Americans who don't know). Still not sure about sandals, but the folks here wear them in spades, I swear. It could be winter, and it could be rainy, but there're my girlies wearing sandals. How anyone feels comfortable walking around without socks is beyond me.

for the wip ask game: truer than truth and/or DNG au

Thanks for the ask and for tagging me in the first place. (Referencing this ask game.)

DNG au is the Devil's Nest Gang au which I'm pretty sure I've talked about to you? I don't think I've worked on it any since then hah

It's the au where basically FMA goes differently and the Xing squad never go to Amestris and the Devil's Nest never gets destroyed, but Father and everyone still get defeated. Ling becomes crown prince some other way, but speaks out at the wrong moment against the Emperor or something and flees for his life to Amestris and ends up working at Greed's bar

...I thought I had posted excerpts on tumblr before but the search bar is not giving me results, so no idea if I've shared this part or not

When Ling was sent on yet another run to the butchery, he pondered over a good way to ask if Sig knew about what exactly the Devil's Nest gang got up to without sounding like some kid who had signed up for more than he could handle. By this point, he had developed a bit of a rapport with Sig. Mason was friendly, but their conversations had never gone further than generic niceties, and Ling had only met Izumi once, but she intimidated him. That left Sig as the only person in this entire country who wasn’t a criminal that Ling regularly talked to. He didn’t want to lose that. The butchery already had customers when Ling arrived, a pair of golden-haired men around his age talking to Sig. “—a trip, but she should be back tomorrow,” Sig was saying. The shorter one grumbled, but the taller one said, “Well, we’ll come by again, then.” With that, they turned to leave without buying anything, and Ling realized belatedly that they were probably Sig’s friends, not customers. As they passed, Ling noticed their eyes—both sets a shade of light brown that he had not seen on anyone else before. Perhaps that shade was more common in other parts of Amestris, but Ling had searched for immortality for too long not to be reminded of the tales of the golden-eyed, golden-haired Sage of the West. They were gone before he could think any more on that, and then Sig was looking at him, expectantly waiting for Ling to give his order.

Truer than Truth is a Donbrothers (Super Sentai) fic that was only going to be one part, but then I realized I couldn't fit the romance that I was writing this fic for into the story, so now it has a part 2.

Basically part 1 is centered around Sonoi, a guy from a different dimension of reality, and his journey through the later 2/3rds of the show (plus a bit canon-divergent post canon) as he tries to understand humans and the purpose of art, especially art that isn't realistic. Basically it plays on the idea that stylized art might not be realistic but it touches on emotions in a way that feels realer than reality (the idea came from something a professor I had said when he was talking about Japanese puppet theater)

Part 2 is post-canon (divergently) focused on Momoi Tarou. Canonically, Sonoi is into 'beautiful lies' and metaphors, so I'm trying to write his pov with a lot of figurative language, but Tarou literally dies if he tries to lie, so I'm trying to write his pov with zero metaphors or anything. Which is kind of challenging but fun. Anyway this is just the two of them doing vaguely couple-y things until someone asks them "are you dating or what??" and they're like "oh yeah i guess so."

The most fun part of part 1 is that in between each scene, there's a short section with one truth and one lie that connects thematically to the following scene. Idk how satisfied I am with it yet, but here are the first two:

Here is a lie: Momoi Tarou is like the moon, something that Sonoi can watch with ease. His existence is not harsh, neither life-giving nor deadly, not so direct and blinding as the sun. He merely tugs gently on the sea, constantly changing from night to night. Here is a truth: Sun or moon or something else, there is no celestial body close enough for Sonoi to touch.

Here is a truth: Momoi Tarou is like the sky, impossibly vast and unreachable; and Sonoi is like the sea, forever gazing up, reflecting that same blue. They could both stretch out into eternity and still never touch except for those most tumultuous of storms when cloud and rain reach down and the waves reach up and for one moment they can connect. Here is a lie: Sonoi is content with this.

[starlightkun]

okay im back so the post i linked to that was deleted was something along the lines of like "when my wife leaves for work i sit and face the wall and wait for her to come home" which was very changer and buzzer beater sungchan to me.

I did notice that your archived some of your old fics cause like another recent anon i have been reading your works since like 2019 (home was my first fic of yours and then the sleeping cinderella series and three kept me coming back) and yeah i get it there is a difference between some of your old fics and your fics from like three onwards and as a longtime fan its really nice to see how you've grown as an author.

as for the height inclusivity, i do completely understand cause there are many gorgeous, tall women out there but your comment about how kun is 1 inch taller than you was really funny to me cause like, you really said they ain't shit 💀💀💀 as for myself im 161cm so i know that if i was to meet renjun id probably reach his eyebrows or maybe his hairline if i was really lucky but in spirit im the same height as xiaojun, renjun, taeil and ten and if we met id like to imagine that we'd all be mischievous little gremlins together. (random side note i watched the fnaf movie the other day and josh hutcherson is like 165cm, he's bestie babygirl height but you wouldn't know it cause he's got a bit of a beefcake build and most of the movie was solo shots so you didnt have many chances to compare him to other people. on the other hand, matthew lillard, who plays the bad guy, is 192CM! there was a scene where hes standing at a desk as josh hutch leaves the room and it looks like matthew is standing on a platform cause of how big the height difference is). also you're right that sicheng is kind of considered tall now in comparison to the rest of wayv cause now that dozen left, its literally just one tall dude and 5 toddlers (also have you seen that clip of wayv being lowered off the stage standing all cool and shit like the avengers or something but the thing doesn't lower enough and they all have to duck and run off stage?) but yeah inclusion is super important and it really does detract from fics for me when im supposed to be a curvaceous blonde with blue eyes 💀

yeah when i was talking about the loserxloser typewriter content i was referring to baby fangs i just got confused cause of all the teeth related wip names (im slowly losing it i swear) but i didn't think that the bite would also have loser content? from the description i definitely thought it was just an enemies to lovers which personally isn't my favourite trope just cause when i dont like someone i find it really hard to see them as attractive at all but like it seems like its becoming more of an idiots to lovers instead and i am SO EXCITED because single parent aus are one of my favourite things.

yeah idk as someone who's short the centimetres or inches don't really matter to me when it comes to tall people cause either way they're gonna be taller than me (when it comes to other short people it matters very much because im competitive) so like people taller than me are either shorter than a fridge (average) or taller than a fridge (big boi bodacious/daddy long legs/step on me mummy)

also yeah i did really love how you showed how delusionally whipped love bites reader was for sungchan as well and i wouldnt be suprised if taro moves out within the next week from how his mathletes career was belittled.

I CANT BELIEVE YOU DIDNT REALISE THE INNUENDO BEFORE OH MY GOD i guess you were in big brain author mode when you were writing it and i was in gremlin 13 year old boy mode when i read it but the idea that you wrote it being completely genuine is SENDING ME. just werewolf sungchan making someones hole ache :( ❤️. I am so sorry for ruining your wonderfully crafted wholesome moment with this thought lmao (i remember you talking about wattpads feature to comment on individual paragraphs and now im wondering if anyone there has a dirty mind and picked up on it like i did or were moved by sungchans sweet apology instead)

as for the timeline, i did not expect romance is dead to be around the middle but then again i didnt really know much about how it fit contextually anyways. I also need to brush up on my american college language and term structure cause like freshman, sophomore, junior, senior like i kinda get but like sophomore sounds really fancy and junior is well, junior so i thought they would be flipped. Also in australia our school year starts at the beginning of the year and ends at the end cause summer is dec-feb but i forgot that its all flipped for you guys (the way the dreamies release really summery tracks in july but im listening to them as i sit indoors, wrapped in blankets)

also yeah i didnt expect pupsick to be before tdhea just cause of how present jeno was and you're right, he didn't do too much meddling in tdhea and was just kinda there but i genuinely just attributed it to being a personality thing cause there is no world where i can imagine him being more scheming than chenle, jaemin and hyuck 😭😭😭. but you saying "he was just kinda there......bc he had nothing better to do while pupsick!reader was at study sessions 😔 very conveniently-timed study sessions and bakery shifts without jeno that leave jeno completely free to be in every relevant scene for tdhea... aw shucks 😔😔😔" killed me. this poor little sad puppy man has to spend time with his friends cause his wonderful gf has a job and responsibilities :(

also love the note you added to the recent reblog of nipplejun. he is my little whore and i love him. the way i cheered seeing him show off his nipples like they're accessories made me feel like a supportive friend watching my small, shy bff transform into a small beefcake male stripper. also yes his bone structure is insane it continues to be insane like the lines created by his eyebrows, cheekbones and jaw make him snatched like a tiktok beauty influencer. desperately need him and bella hadid to meet cause 1. shes bella fucking hadid, 2. her name is bella and id love to see jun kinda awkwardly yet endearingly try to explain that to her that she shares the same name as his dog, 3. shes taller than him and would probably be wearing heels if they were meeting at an event so i would love to see him staring up at her 4. the FACE that would be served if they were in the same room?!

love you lots as well, i'm so happy that you enjoy my messages and that they make you smile :)

under the cut bestie <33

omg "i sit and face the wall and wait for my wife to come home" is soooo changer!sc-coded ur so right (bb!sungchan does unfortunately have a collegiate hockey career or smth to attend to while his gf is away 😔)

and omggg another starlightkun veteran wow 🫶🫶 im really happy with the growth that i've made and im so happy that you've stuck around for so long 💗💗💗🫂🫂🫂

i remember josh hutchison being short but i didnt remmeber how short omg. also matthew lillard being so tall just feels right.

listen i do think that kun is one of the most gorgeous men i've ever seen. but i also am not so delulu that i think that one inch height difference is gonna do shit teebeeaych. like his official height is 176cm which is the same as donghun from a.c.e (i ult average-height kings apparently), who i have been face-to-face with (and physically touched, his hand was so warm 🥹💗) at a hi-touch event and he (and all of a.c.e) lowkey looked tinie to me lol 🫶

when it comes to ppl irl being taller/shorter than me i was always kinda tall growing up (usually one of the tallest in my class at school), then around high school i stopped being considered "tall" by the other kids bc the boys my age finally hit puberty and i stopped growing at 172cm/5'8" so i stopped considering myself to be tall and just sort of....average? except NOW i work in a weirdly short office. like my coworkers are all so short that i feel tall again 😭 truly height is relative. we have maybe 3 ppl in the whole office (out of 30+ employees) who are 180cm/6ft or more and NOBODY is over 187cm/6'2. i s2g most of the men are shorter than me, i feel like i could step on them and there is only one woman who is taller than me and she's probably only an inch or two taller than me, not considerably so. height soooo relative tbh 😭😭

as for taro in love bites, he for sure says he's going to move out like one a week but he would never, he loves bickering w changer!mc too much

SUNGCHAN WAS RLLY JUST TRYING TO BE THE SWEETEST BOY EVER AND APOLOGIZE FOR MAKING READER SO SAD WHEN THEY WERE BOTH PINING SEPARATELY AND MEANWHILE I HAVE LITTLE GREMLINS READING MY FICS 🫵🫵🫵 but honestly i should have realized what "aching hole" sounded like 😭 bc i can now never unhear it thanks 😭😭😭 (and no, nobody on wattpad has pointed it out if they've noticed lmao)

i never thought abt how the flipped seasons would change your school schedule but that makes complete sense! i always hear abt ppl in the southern hemisphere going to the beach on christmas (we also did that in florida to be fair, but it wasn't quite warm enough to go in the water)

yeah i do default to northern hemisphere season and usamerican university years/semesters bc that's how the flow of time makes sense in my brain and that's how it's easiest to keep track of the timelines in fics for me as i'm writing since it's what i'm accustomed to, but i'm sure it can be disorienting for ppl whose countries don't work like that, that's why i generally try not to make it too overt if it's not relevant to the plot of the fic. the timeline was just a fun little extra thing i was curious about if anybody had picked up on

literally the way dejun was holding the sides of the jacket open specifically to show off his nips like bestie at this point just unzip the jacket all the way 😭 and universe aint even anywhere close to a stripper song either he was wildin for naurrr reason i love his dramatic ass so much truly 💗💗💗

im always happy to hear from u and i hope you're doing well 🫶🫂💗

Tokyo Revenger Boys with a S/O an inch taller than them

Aged up!Mikey, Aged up!Draken, Aged up!Smiley (Nohoya), and Aged up!Mitsuya

Writing this made me literally squeal, they're so precious.

Mikey;

Mikey is used to people being taller than him, it doesn't bother him considering he isn't insecure about his height.

For what he lacks in height, he makes up in personality, leadership, and his fighting skills.

That's what he thought

Until he met you, before you both began dating you always you teased him about liking tall guys

You put your hand on your forehead shaking it back and forth showing you were taller than him

Even going as far as saying "Good little headrest"

The way he would pout.

"YOU'RE ONLY AN INCH TALLER THAN ME Y/N-CHAN"

"Still taller dummy"

"KEN-CHINNNNNN, Y/N-CHAN BEING MEAN AGAIN!!"

When you started dating the teasing got worse.

You wouldn't go a day without talking about your height

Once you brought him a stepping stool..

"What's this bunny?"

"I figured you'd need it for when you wanna kiss"

Is that a bet?

Pulls you down by your hair and kisses you

Leaves you dazed

"Guess I didn't need the stool after all"

Licks his lips like a smug little shit

"YOU CHEATED MIKEY!"

"DRAKENNN, MIKEY'S CHEATING AGAIN"

"Leave me the hell alone, Im tryna sleep."

Draken;

This petty bitch 🧍

He loves being tall and looking down at everydody

He can easily intimidated someone with his height alone

When he finds out you're just an INCH

A fucking INCH

Taller than him

Loses his shit

"You think you're hot shit cause your tall huh?"

"I didn't say that..."

Under your breath

"Shorty."

"THE FUCK YOU SAY?"

But other than him being petty as shit, he love having a tall S/o

He thinks it's so cute

Especially if you're clumsy?

He might just fucking squeal

You're adorable fuck

Your name in his phone is baby giraffe 🙄

Like I said, petty

He loves having you in his lap

Anyone have shit to say about it?

Run that fade ?????

He went to jail once, he'll do it again

Smiley;

You catch his attention

He doesn't see tall girls that often

Probably thinks you're being smug about being taller than him

"You wanna fucking fight?"

"Please no"

Mans is terrifying

Another petty bitch

Calls you cheeky all the time

You never bring up your height, he always brings it up

If you say shit about being taller than him, then you're a cheeky little shit and must wanna fight

Like no? You'd beat my ass??

He'd never actually fight you, unless you like use his head as a arm rest

Never do that

He likes making you feel small

Scares the shit out of you just so he feels like the bigger one in the relationship

If anyone brings up the height difference

Pissed

"ITS ONLY AN INCH FUCKFACE"

"ITS BARELY FUCKING NOTICABLE"

"THE FUCK YOU STARING AT US THAT LONG FOR TO TELL?!"

"WANNA FUCKING DIE?!"

Ready to fight

Don't let him fight

He's crazy

"You'd look hot in heels"

"But then I'd be too tall"

"And?"

Loveable chaos

Mitsuya;

Doesn't notice it

Really didn't 🤧

Only until Luna mentioned that you were taller than him

"Oh, you are"

Stands back to back while looking in a mirror

"You really are!"

"Shorty"

".... Brat"

Shines the cutest smile your way

Thinks it's really cute

He's not insecure about being the shorter one in the relationship, it's just an inch anyways

Pushes you to wear heels and dresses

Fuck it's so hot

Wants to see you in long ass red stilettoes with a short white dress

Might fucking die

Overall is really wholesome, he loves it!

ok ok ok ok ok…. gem and ren werewolves on empires and gem is nearly as tall as lizzie when she’s in her wolf form.

also. what if they found the empires while in wolf form?? like they get there and the sun is just setting into a full moon and they don’t see anyone then BOOM they are attacking the empires. would scott be all “you dare not come here, evil beings”? would e!gem want to “teach” them to repress their instincts?

so many thoughts

ANON YES YOUR BRAIN

Hermitcraft!Gem is tall and I will stand by this (Empires!Gem is shorter and very put out) this translates to her wolf from she is Lorge

also you've inspired me have a short writing thing about their arrival:

Gem stood staring at the giant tower from just outside the treeline. It felt so familiar, but none of the other hermits had a similar building style and try as she might she couldn't place it. Her musing was interrupted by Ren, who she followed further into the forest as the sun slowly started to set. He was still mad at her for dragging him through the portal but she couldn't have left him behind.

She shook her head. No time for that now.

The full moon was rising, they could feel it, and they needed to make sure they were as far away from other people as possible. They could talk about everything in the morning, but for now they just had to get through the night.

~

Gem was sitting in her office when she heard two loud howls coming from outside. She didn't think too much of it, Shrub was probably out and about, until the screams started.

She raced out to her balcony to find two giant beasts running through her streets, chasing her citizens and snapping at them. Immediately she equipped her elytra and rocketed down, tapping her communicator desperately. Ringing, ringing, and then-

"Gem, why are you calling me?"

Gem let out a sigh of relief at Scott's voice.

"Scott thank Exor you picked up! I need your help, there are two beasts in my empire and I don't know if I'll be able to hold them off by myself, Fwhip is away and-"

She got cut off by Scott's scoff and she just knew that he would be fixing her with a cold glare if he could.

"Why would I help you Gem? You tried to kill me, you're working for my demon brother, you literally just praised Exor! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't hang up now."

Suppressing her immediate response of "you froze me first" Gem's voice turned pleading as she kept her eyes on the monsters. Almost there.

"They're coming after my citizens Scott! My innocent citizens! Whatever problems you have with me, please don't let them suffer for it."

She hung up. She had to focus.

Her first goal was to get everyone out of harms way, whether that be through levitating them over to a further street or by swooping in with her elytra and carrying them herself. She gave everyone instructions to get to shelter and before long the streets were empty, leaving only her and the beasts.

Now that she focused on them she noticed more details that she had previously missed. She had known they were big, sure, but she hadn't realised how big. The brown one was about her height, maybe a little taller, but the orange one was huge, almost as big as the Ocean Queen post transformation. It's fur was a colour almost exactly the shade of her own hair, save for two light brown streaks on the head. Both of their eyes were amber, and Gem was hit with a startling realisation. These were werewolves.

Making up her mind she started casting, trying to fire warning shots to herd them out, but when they kept advancing she had to start attacking them directly, not that her spells did more than knock them back a bit. They managed to get her backed into a corner until a large wall of ice shot up between her and them.

Scott had arrived.

"Scott, don't kill them! They're werewolves, they're not in control, so don't injure them too badly unless they're about to bite you or someone else!"

He just nodded and focused back on the wolves, and soon enough the pair managed to drive them out and back towards the forest. Gem erected a quick ward that would keep them inside but let anyone else out before she turned back to Scott to thank him.

"Thank you for coming Scott, I-"

But she got cut off by an icy glare and the flap of wings as he flew away without a word. She frowned but turned back to her empire. She had to go tell everyone that they could leave, and then in the morning she was going to go find those werewolves.

Me: Yeah I'm going to do a short thing! The 'short' thing: 701 words

anyway that's the twist! Corrupted Gem because I constantly have brainrot and I came up with ideas

I will do more later about them meeting not feral but what a way to be introduced haha

[absolutebl]

I'm not sure if this is an ask or just me rambling but I've been thinking about the balance between qualities in a show and which are the priority... Because I have been, unsurprisingly, watching some really bad BL.

But I keep watching it because despite the awful script, the bad concept, sound editing that is so bad even I noticed and everything else... the acting is AMAZING. Like, this director gets things out of these actors that I never seen anywhere else. It's bizarre!

And I don't know how to feel. Because, objectively, the show is AWFUL. Like, the absolute WORST. But I keep watching because the actors are so expressive and the emotions feel so raw and honest in a way that I don't see other places. Despite the horrible material, they SHINE.

It's very strange. And absolutely no one else (rightfully!) is watching this show so I don't even know how to discuss it.

Anyway! Uh. Good acting in an otherwise awful show. It's a thing, right?

You know I always love seeing you in my inbox...

Happy birthday, by the way!

Okay so are you watching One Love or is it You Are My Sky that's served you up this crisis?

When Good Actors Do Bad BL

Honestly, I don't think there is one simple answer but I have private theories.

Here's some spitballing.

Height Issues

No, literally, that's not a euphemism.

Okay, so one of the primary qualifiers for becoming the hero of a drama in many Asian countries is height. (Don't yell it me, may I remind you film is a visual medium, we superficial af.) This means that short talent in places like Korea goes into Kpop. (And it's also why I think we keep seeing idols do KBLs or portray younger brother side characters, they mostly not tall enough to be leads in Kdramas.) 

You remember when GMMTV was auditioning for F4? They had a height minimum for the 4 leads. Men shorter than whatever it was weren’t allowed to audition at all. 

Short talent in Thailand goes into BL.

Which is not to say the taller dudes can't act. It's just that the shorter guys are gonna struggle to get mainstream roles - especially as the BL industry has come to dominate Thailand's film production. This means we are actually getting some really good actors in Thai BL because they can’t get other roles, who are then wasted on terrible scripts.

Scripts

The better Thai BLs are all adapted from y-novels but Thailand is running out of good ones. The Thai pulps have never been able to afford options anyway, so they have always been crap. Without writer’s rooms, I don’t know who is actually scripting some of these, but it feels like... no one. And I can tell you from experience you can't let actors (or directors) just improvise a story, especially not young men who are supposed to be falling in love with each other. The actors don’t have enough real life experience yet.

Masculine Comfort Levels

I'm not sure how to put this but, men in general seem a lot more comfortable with physical touch and each other's company and intimacy in Thailand than in a lot of other cultures. It's as if masculine friendship is permitted to be more demonstrative by the greater culture. (This is not uncommon in hyper-masculine homophobic cultures like Russia or the Middle East as well, so it's not necessarily an indication of queer acceptance. Read more.) 

Anygay, I feel like this means a lot of male actors work better as romantic couples with other men, since there is no prudishness coming into play (and if you're straight, no fear of actually being turned on in the sex scenes).

For anyone reading this who wants more, I went on a long diatribe about this topic when someone asked me about skinship in Thailand.

Affectionate headcanons with Mr. Gallant (Male!Reader)

Requested: Nope!

Warnings: None!

A/N: Decided to write up some soft headcanons for Mr. Gallant with a Male!Reader! I'm honestly not ENTIRELY sure what the Outposts have in them or what are the rooms that we don't see and what do they contain in them, so I hope y'all don't mind me kinda spitballing some of this! Lol just think of it as an AU or sumthen, anyway hope y'all enjoy! :))

Tags: @darlingkitt @sojournmichael @xavierplympton

(If you want to be added to my permanent tag list, just shoot me an ask or message!) :))

Important: Whatever the reader says is in italics!

Gallant is 100% the little spoon, he just lives for being coddled and wrapped up in someone else's arms no matter his partner's height

If you're shorter than him then he slides underneath you so that your chin rests on top of his head and your legs can wrap around his waist securely

If you're taller then he still slides underneath you but instead plays footsies with you beneath the covers while you tickle him here and there

One of his favorite cuddling positions is to lay with his back against your chest and at an angle so that his weight isn't completely on you while he rants about his day and anyone who got on his nerves

He absolutely loves talking shit about his grandma as you rub his shoulders and comfort him, reassuring him that he's incredibly strong and brave for enduring her existence

He'd also discuss his job as a hairstylist before the nuke hit, the two of you would laugh together as he tells stories about clients rushing to him because they were having a really bad hair day, or he'd talk about the time some rich lady's expensive poodle got loose and she had to chase it across the street while half of her head had rollers in it and meanwhile the other half was dripping wet

Occasionally you'd notice a certain glint in his eyes appearing from to time as he talked about his profession, one day you asked him what was wrong, and he started to cry but he quickly reassured you that everything was fine

"You sure hon?" "Yeah. I just...sometimes I miss everything. Everything I had before the world went to shit yanno? I mean I know I was still dealing with my shitty grandma but I still had my clients to distract me. You're literally the only good thing to come out of this whole Outpost situation. Thank God for that."

Beaming from ear to ear, he'd kiss the top of your hand, making the area tingle for a bit as he laid against you while the both of you look up at the ceiling, most likely dreaming of future events to come

At times your late night conversations with him would turn into talks about the possibility of being fathers together which admittedly made Gallant anxious but he was completely open to it

"I mean, lets just say that we became parents? Wouldn't that be exciting? The two of us taking care of new life within a place surrounded by death?" He stares upwards as a smile grew across his face, a soft string of laughs coming from his mouth as he went on about how he would teach his kid to style hair

You two make up stupid little question games were you both take turns asking each other questions, no matter how stupid

"So like...what scares you the most? And you can't say your grandma's bunion covered feet!" "Bad hair days." "Gallant... seriously..." "OKAY OKAY IT'S ACTUALLY GOING BALD. I JUST WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PULL OFF A RECEDING HAIRLINE DAMMIT!"

An unlikely habit that you found out Gallant had was his tendency to hum softly into your neck, similar to a cat purring as he'd rub his soft and short stubble against your chin

You noticed that whatever record was playing in the sitting room area tended to be the tune he'd hum, whether it was while he held you in his arms and swayed back and forth or during nap time which became a way to help both of you fall asleep much easier

When it's time to eat or socialize with the other Outpost members, you two aren't shy when it comes to showing affection in front of the others which technically doesn't have a rule against it

Gently pushing up Gallant's purple shades whenever they start to slightly slide of the bridge of his nose and in return he likes to fix and adjust your outfit here and there whenever he notices that it's off or needs maintenance

Making sure to rub his back when you see him getting visibily upset during the shitty cube dinners and just reminding him that the two of you will make it through all of this while at each other's side

He gets serious anxiety and stress from being cooped up in the same place all the time while the world is shit so you decide to make little songs out of the tunes he occasionally hums

Now you're the one who's softly singing to him while he tries to sleep after a long day, which is his favorite time to place his head on your chest and close his eyes while he feels the vibrations flowing throughout his body

Whenever he's in a much better mood, he'll offer to slow dance with you while in the privacy of his room

If you're shorter than him then he places his forehead onto yours while his arms are wrapped your sides

If you're taller than him then he places his head around your collarbone while his arms are wrapped your hip area

Sneaking away in order to have soft make of sessions with him, in which one of your favorite things to do is twiddle his one earring within your fingers gently as his caress your entire body

If you two are making out in his room, then he definitely throws out some dirty talk here and there which you sometimes reciprocate and it drives him nuts

Gallant doesn't really mind you ruffling up his hair but he likes to pretend that he hates it, he'll make a big fuss while you give him little noogies but soon he is a mess of hiccuping giggles

He's kinda tender when it comes to getting his head touched so things like noogies and hair stroking is actually very intimate and shows how much he trusts you within the relationship

Probably the thing that sends him to sleep the fastest and deepest is singing to him while running your hands through his hair, not a worry on his mind as he snores softly within your lap

Kisses on top of his head give him immense butterflies, similar to the hair touching it's something that he only lets you do to him

One of Gallant's largest kinks love languages is words of affirmation, the quickest way to his heart being praise and having terms of endearment being applied to him

An assortment of pet names and uplifting words will instantly make his heart flutter and his body fill with heat, things like "Good boy" "My beautiful boy" and anything to do with calling him handsome will immediately put a grin on his face

If he does something, no matter how minor, and you compliment his performance, it always brightens up his day especially on ones he feels the most useless and unproductive

Gallant is quite fond of long warm baths with plenty of foamy bubbles surrounding him and candles around the tub that illuminate the both of you as he melts into your chest

Sometimes he's so relaxed that he falls asleep, gently resting against you as you plant delicate kisses onto his bleach blonde hair while stroking his arms

If you're feeling particularly brave, you'll secretly steal some Outpost supplies and make your boyfriend some edible face masks to enjoy with his baths

He really seems to vibe with them and appreciates how you smuggled really good cucumbers and face rub so that Gallant could not only look good but eat good

Eventually you would succumb to your playful desires, while enjoying the peaceful silence you'd randomly tickle attack him from behind causing the vegetables to fall from his face and plop into the bath water below

The entire bathroom would fill Gallant's snorting laughter as you manage to pin him softly against the bath tub wall, nipping at the mask that covered his face then eventually migrating to his silver earring

At some point the white haired male moved to grab your face, lifting it up and forward slightly so that he could place a tender kiss on your lips and soon the two of you would completely forget about bathing and even the apocalypse itself as you embrace and test the strict rules within Outpost 3

Double Date

"So basically... we're hijacking a date?" Ollie asked, sitting on Bunnie's bed, watching it write on the large whiteboard in the room. The shorter boy had randomly called him over a week after the whole charade started and proposed the idea or 'accidentally' meeting up with Piers and Harris while they were on a date. "I have several questions, the first being how the fuck we know where they're going on a date?"

Bunnie looked slightly guilty as he wrote, [Piers lets me track his phone.]

He nodded, slightly concerned. "Ok, cool... why? Like, why do we have to hijack their nice Saturday date? Don't we annoy them enough at school?" he asked, fidgeting with one of Bunnie's many stim toys he'd left sitting on the bedside table.

It shrugged. [More annoyance is more annoyance. The sooner we get them to get jealous, the sooner we can quit pretending we like each other.] That was an awkward statement considering the fact that Bunnie had honestly grown on Ollie a bit. Sure, he was a little petty and bitchy, but it was still talented and smart... maybe he was getting a little too into the role of its boyfriend.

Sighing, Ollie set down the toy and stood up, saying, "fine, where are we going? Do we need to change clothes at all because you're not allowed within 30 feet of my house." When it gave him a confused, slightly offended look, he explained. "You look like the stereotypical emo twink, my mom would kill me if she thought I was friends with gay people."

[You're literally best friends with a bisexual man dating a transguy.]

"She doesn't know that, and I would like to keep it that way... seriously, though, is it like, somewhere nice or whatever?"

Bunnie pulled his phone out of his hoodie pocket, unlocking it and going to look at Piers' location. It held the phone out for Ollie to see, revealing that they were going to the nearby amusement park. Great.

He cracked his knuckles and sighed, moving closer to the window he'd arrived through. Bunnie was super stressed about making sure neither of them was seen coming in or out of the house for whatever reason, so Ollie had had to climb a ladder up to the second floor to get into the room. "We all set or do you have... I don't know, twink fashion stuff to do?"

Rolling his eyes, Bunnie tucked the phone back in his pocket and wrote, [why do you think you were waiting out there for 30 minutes?] on the large board before erasing it and moving to the closet to grab a pair of shoes. It ended up choosing a pair of platform boots that made it 2 inches taller, which was still at least 6 inches shorter than Piers, Ollie, and Harris. It swiped up a pair of black earrings and put them in before turning to Ollie.

If he was being honest, it was very cute. Bunnie wore a sleeveless turtleneck with denim shorts, fishnets, and boots, topped off with a bunny hoodie he wore more like a shawl. His purple hair was in its usual state of purposefully messy, and fairly natural makeup (with an obvious exception of eyeliner) was the choice of look today. Usually, Bunnie liked to try different colors and themes for his makeup and accessories, which was extremely noticeable to anyone who saw him daily, so it totally wasn't weird that Ollie knew that. Ollie kind of stood there for a second, just staring at it, forgetting they were supposed to be going somewhere.

The purple-haired boy made a gesture that seemed to say, 'get moving,' and he finally realized what he was doing. He cleared his throat, turning towards the window to try and hide the fact he was probably blushing. "S-sorry..." Bunnie probably rolled his eyes behind his back at the stupid display it'd just seen.

The ride there was quiet but not awkward, somehow. Bunnie had plugged in his phone for directions so he also got DJ privileges and played his choice of music. Despite knowing the guy for 3 years, Ollie had never asked or figured out what type of music he liked. He'd assumed classical or something in the past because of its violin, but that couldn't be further from the truth. There was practically everything but classical music on its playlist. Musicals, pop songs that felt like they came from their childhood, rock, indie, all of it. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Bunnie's fingers... twitch? They were moving in a sort of pattern like he was playing notes on a violin.

Once in the park, they linked hands and stalked Piers based on his last Instagram post, an image of the two of them on the Ferris Wheel, and soon enough, they found themselves a few yards away from the happy couple. Before they properly approached, Bunnie adjusted their hands slightly and yanked Ollie down to give him a quick kiss on the cheek before speeding up and pulling him towards the pair. Odd... he could've sworn the kissing rule was made by Bunnie...

Harris was the first to spot them approaching, looking up from his phone for a second and saying, "oh, fancy seeing you two here... are you... on a date too?"

Bunnie nodded cheerfully while Ollie answered, "ah, yeah, it's a funny coincidence, I guess," laughing slightly. He felt a bit awkward lying to them, unsure if he was that good at acting. Looking at the way Piers was fucking glaring at him, he could assume they were pretty convincing.

"Yeah... funny," was all Piers said, crossing his arms.

"Hey, Babe, it'll be fun, we can just turn it into a double date," Harris suggested, placing a hand on Piers' shoulder. "Your little shadow would probably enjoy that," he added, in a slightly less friendly manner, giving Bunnie a very condescending-looking smile. It seemed to shrink slightly at the comment.

After a moment of awkward silence, Ollie cleared his throat and said, "y-yeah, that sounds like fun! Where do you guys think we should go first? The slower rides are in this direction if I remember right, so maybe like, fuck if I know, the tunnel of love or something-" That suggestion got him a look from Piers and Bunnie. He thought the suggestion was kind of funny, but apparently, it was too cliche for these edgelords or something...

Harris held out a fist for him to bump, saying, "yeah, that sounds like fun." It didn't, but the point of this was to make Piers jealous and to piss him off. So, the four of them headed towards the ride with plenty of awkward small talk on the way. A lot of the small talk coming from Harris felt... targeted. Specifically at Bunnie. Everything he said seemed to make the shorter boy hold onto Ollie's hand a little tighter.

Once at the ride, they looked at the size of the line, and immediately decided to no longer ride the tunnel of love. It was overrated anyways... totally wasn't looking forward to more 'alone' time with Bunnie, no, not at all...

Everything seemed to be annoying Piers, and apparently, the line was the last straw, as he muttered, "I need to use the restroom, I'll be back in a bit..." and walked off. Looking over at Bunnie, it looked quite pleased with itself. Ollie supposed the plan was working, Piers was very fucking mad at both of them, but he couldn't help but worry that Bunnie wouldn't just be able to go back to life as usual after this. Piers was the type of guy to hold grudges, and it would know that after being his best friend for so long. He also didn't think the whole jealousy plan would work, since Piers probably saw the situation as more of a betrayal than a reason to be jealous... hopefully, things would turn out alright between them in the end.

With Piers gone, it was just Ollie, Harris, and Bunnie left standing in the shade near the ride. Harris sighed and shook his head, a little tired and disappointed in Piers’ mood, apparently. “Y’know, maybe this date would have gone better if you’d decided to mind your own business, Beau,” he stated, looking at Bunnie. Was that its name? Ollie had only known him to go by Bunnie, so he’d just assumed its parents were odd.

Bunnie seemed to flinch slightly at the name and comment, squeezing his hand a little more. It raised its right hand to its chest, signing the word for ‘sorry,’ and kept its gaze on the ground.

“It would also probably go better if you weren’t pretending to be in love with someone. Does Ollie know? If he doesn’t, that’s a little pathetic and manipulative, don’t you think?” What the fuck was Harris talking about? So he thought something was up, but didn’t think Ollie was in on it? He reacted with surprise mostly out of how rude it was to bring it up in front of Ollie.

Nodding slightly, Bunnie signed ‘sorry’ again and started messing with the hem of his hoodie rather than actually respond. Why wasn’t he doing anything? The Bunnie Ollie had come to know so far would flip Harris off and sign something really rude, but right now… it looked like it was just going to stand there and take it. Ollie looked between Bunnie and Harris, who looked like he was having fun insulting the younger boy. Yeah, he knew they didn’t like each other, but he didn’t think his best friend would take it that far.

Sighing and placing a hand on his hip, Harris continued. “Not to mention, it’s a little depressing how you think Piers would be able to love you with all of your issues. Like, jeez, you’re kind of hopeless at this point… and it’s so fucking arrogant of you to demand everyone call you by a nickname you made up for yourself, don’t you think, Beau?” This statement appeared to be the final straw, as Bunnie let go of Ollie’s hand and started running the direction they’d came.

“Bunnie!” Ollie called, about to go after it, when Harris placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Don’t worry about him, he’s probably just running off to be dramatic. Seriously, he’s so delusional, thinking-“

He pushed off his hand and said, “dude, you literally just made him run away, clearly there is something wrong here,” before giving him a disappointed and slightly irritated look before running after the shorter boy.

Suddenly, the park felt like a maze of people constantly moving and blocking paths as he weaved his way through, calling after it. His voice probably only added to the noise of the park, but he still kept yelling. Eventually, he spotted Bunnie near the gates thanks to his bright hair and sped up slightly. He managed to catch up just as it got to the car and started pulling on the door. Ollie approached, unlocking it. It climbed in, stepping over the center console thing to sit in the back, not bothering to close the door. He closed the door and stepped around to the other side of the car to sit next to it.

“Hey, hey, Bunnie, are you alright?” he asked, shutting his door behind him. A far cry from the usually upbeat, troublemaking kind of guy he was, Bunnie looked completely destroyed. Tears mixed with makeup ran down its face as it sat, curled into a ball in the back seat of the car. He tried to wipe his eyes on his hoodie, only managing to smear everything and stain the white fabric. He clearly wasn’t alright, no need to vocals or physical confirmation. “I’m… I’m sorry Harris is like that, I don’t know why he decided to go for the throat all of a sudden.” Ollie didn’t know why he was apologizing for Harris’s actions.

Bunnie just shook his head and turned away from him slightly, pulling the sleeves of his hoodie up to wear it properly, ignoring the stains he’d caused.

For a second, Ollie wondered if this was something he was allowed to do. Sure, it would make sense for him to comfort a friend, but as far as he knew, Bunnie still disliked him. He was pretending to be its boyfriend, but did that mean he was still allowed to do boyfriend-y things while no one else was around? Pushing that aside for the moment, Ollie scooted over slightly and wrapped an arm around Bunnie, pulling it into a hug of sorts. He was surprised when Bunnie not only allowed this, but also leaned in slightly, wrapping both arms around Ollie and crying into his shoulder. “You’re gonna be okay,” he whispered, setting a hand on Bunnie’s head and running his fingers through its hair slightly. “You’re strong and stuff and Harris is a massive liar… you’re- you’re extremely lovable, so don’t listen to him, alright?”

Bunnie seemed to smile the smallest bit at his comment and just sat there for a second, clinging to Ollie tightly. After a small bit, he pulled back slightly, sitting back in his seat and rubbing at his eyes slightly. He offered a small smile to Ollie before taking his hand and spelling out ‘home’ on his hand. The taller boy nodded, offering a sympathetic smile in return. He got out of the car and moved back to the driver’s seat, preparing to drive Bunnie back home.

So, physical description of Alex and Devon? Did I miss it? Or if I didn't, please provide one? I need to know how these characters look! Just imagine if we didn't know that Kent is blond and shorter than Alexei? These things are important! Better yet, pin a post with physical descriptions of all your OCs so we readers (AKA me, mostly) can take a quick look whenever we want (or fancast them until the cows come home). Love your OCs, can't get enough of them!

I'm going to try to give you a short answer first so that you can ignore the long answer if you want.

Alex: He's 6'3". (I know I've mentioned he outgrew Kent.) He is also just going to keep getting more swole like Jack. So with Alexei aging, he's really outgrown both his parents. I'm sure that I've mentioned that he's white and has brown hair somewhere, but I'd have to search for it. It's probably in the beginning from Kent's POV. I don't have a fan cast and I'm so hesitant to name one because I know I'll come across someone eventually and change my mind. Feel free to suggest!

Devon: I'm sure that I've mentioned that he's Korean, but it's probably back when he was hooking up with Mason and I feel like every time I tried to write him, no one took an interest then. (lol. I know. I get it. Mason/Micah felt like endgame so soon and I get that.) He's 5'7". (I mentioned he's shorter than Mason--who I know I've said is about 6'2" or 6'3") I googled endlessly for a fancast for him a while back and decided on Kim Woo-bin, but shorter and younger than he is now. Cupid: Rafael Silva but a bit taller. I sent Matt some random football player at the time that I had art done, but then I saw Rafael before I ever watched Lone Star and was like, "OMG it's Cupid." Mills: Aubrey Joseph. Mason: Lil Nas X, but without the body modifications that Mason obviously doesn’t have. Though Mason has tattoos that I haven’t written about. There's art for a lot of the other OCs, but let me know if you have more questions. You can totally stop reading here if you don't care about the rest of my rambling. Anyway, to be honest, I really wouldn't care if I didn't know what Alexei looked like. I tend to only care about physical characteristics as for how the affect a character's life. For example, Kent being shorter than average for a hockey player might be commented on in the media and he might have feelings about that. Race and culture matter, so I care about how that factors into how I write a character. If a character's appearance affects how people treat them in any way than it's worth thinking about--but I tend to focus more on that than the details of how they specifically look. So the truth is that no, I actually wouldn't care if I didn't know if Kent had blonde hair *unless* I felt like that really mattered for his character. I have moderate prosopagnosia so I really don't pay attention to faces much in general anyway. No one I date has ever looked like anyone else I date. (I have literally dated people for months and not been able to report their hair and/or eye color without looking but could recognize their speech patterns.) This is likely why I struggle a bit with describing things in general because I don't tend to care what *anything* looks like unless I have more of a reason to think that it matters. IE: Alex's scars on his back are something he's insecure about so it comes up in his head sometimes during sex scenes. Noah specifically liked his muscles so Alex's muscles came up in his head. I honestly picture Alex as being like me and not having a type--Noah and Devon look nothing alike--so if I want to describe Devon, I might have to switch points of view. I did have Alex mention the softness of Devon's hair because he's very touch-sensitive person. There's a part I haven't posted yet in Devon's point of view where Alex's size is mentioned because Devon is thinking about how Alex is such a huge guy but he kind of likes to try to make himself smaller to be held. (Noah also notices this.) To me this is relevant only because of the related action. This isn't to say I think you shouldn't care what characters look like. Different people notice different things. I am constantly trying to get better at descriptions, but as I literally skim those sections when reading myself, it's always a bit of a struggle. I'm always trying to make people who like descriptions happy while not boring people who don't. But since I'm a "bored with descriptions I don't care about" person, it's not always successful. I have to literally give myself a reason to care.
