#but i think whenever they did interact they'd be very friendly :>

[kiisaes]

moments in time, with you 💫

a @/heromariweek comic detailing their time together in high school! (catholic school au)

SORRY THIS IS LATE AADJFSHJSKF i got this idea after seeing a similar idea (overarching comic covering a prompt week) by @/alciedoodles's serirei comic .... and when i figured out the idea the week was over =v= but at least i got this in by the late deadline!

extra under the cut:

mari first called hero her friend platonically, but eventually used it to hint that she likes him. hero is dense and didn't get it

hero wanted to confess at graduation but chickened out

hero pierced his ears + mari cut her hair bc of "heartbreak". they're so dramatic

what they'd be like if they had a crush on you

wc: 1075

a/n: no one requested thishsjss but i thought it was a cute concept so T-T

masterlist

seungcheol -

he'd constantly try to impress you by acting manly and dependable around you. he'd wanna show you what you were getting if you ever looked his way. if you ever needed anything he'd drop whatever he was doing to help you. he'd also be super possessive over you, fighting any of the guys if they ever tried to get closer to you than him. would want your attention on him at all times, not realizing he was making his intentions very obvious.

jeonghan -

he'd be confident about it. he'd probably treat you like any other friend but with a hint of something more. he'd always give you extra attention and make sure you were at least somewhat aware of his intentions. eventually he'd be more direct about it, maybe even teasing you about his own crush on you. would not actually confess to you but make it super clear he liked you, inciting you to do something about it.

joshua -

i think he'd literally just tell you. he's a confident guy, so he'd be able to measure as to whether or not you like him after a few times hanging out. he'd be flirty with you but remain a true gentleman at all times. he'd open doors for you, maybe give you little gifts every so often, get you food, etc. he'd do tiny little things to show how much he liked and thought about you, probably easily getting you to fall for him.

jun -

cutie would get so bashful around you. he'd giggle at anything you said, always avoiding your eyes as he did it. he'd try to impress you whenever you were around, but he'd be really subtle about it. he'd also try to stick close to you during group hangouts so that he could get some one-on-one time with you. would probably do his best to get close to you before very shyly telling you about his feelings.

soonyoung -

he'd think he was being subtle but he'd be so fucking obvious about it. whenever you were around, he'd do things to try and impress you like carry something heavy to show off his muscles or show off his dancing skills or some shit like that. he'd also literally just follow you around. he'd wanna be in your presence as much as possible so he could finally win you over.

wonwoo -

he'd be the sweetest guy to ever have a crush on you. he'd communicate his crush through his actions. would seek you out so you could hang out one-on-one very often. would listen to your problems and always be in the know about anything going on in your life. you'd probably end up developing a super strong emotional attachment to each other before he even confessed. would probably have you in the limbo between friends for lovers for a while (give him to me pls).

jihoon -

he'd be so shy about it lmao. he'd be so reserved and overly polite around you, avoiding eye contact and even avoiding you in general. you'd probably think he disliked you from how little he'd interact with you. 100% the type to somehow make you feel rejected by him and have to go apologize to you over the misunderstanding. also 100% the type to accidentally confess his crush while apologizing.

seokmin -

he'd be his super friendly self with you and even seek you out as much as he could. he'd be obvious about it but without actually being direct. he'd basically treat you like his s/o already without even confessing lmao. he'd give you his jacket when it was cold, buy you a warm drink every morning, walk you home, hold your hand, etc. he'd do all this without ever even confessing his crush, thinking he's treating you like any other friend. you'd have to snap him out of it and ask him to make things official yourself.

mingyu -

he'd either just straight up flirt with you or be a shy blushing mess around you. it'd depend on the nature of your relationship. for the most part, i think he'd be rlly bashful around you at first, until he realized maybeee the feelings might be mutual. in that case he'd be such a little shit and do stuff like flex around you or show off his height or literally just say suggestive shit to your face in order to get you to react.

minghao -

would probably try and court you. he seems like a traditional person when it comes to relationships, so he would probably make his intentions clear right off the bat, but not actually ask you out until you grew closer. another member who would have you in the limbo between friends and lovers until formally asking you to be his. would never feel nervous or anxious about his crush on you. he'd relish on it, actually.

seungkwan -

despite being super outgoing and making it seem like embarrassment is scared of him, he'd be a bit shy and bashful about his crush. he'd probably become your bestie in the process of trying to get closer to you. he'd accidentally put himself in the friendzone because of f how friendly he is. lucky for him he's cute and the odds that you liked him back were very high. would have to be talked by jeonghan or vernon into confessing.

vernon -

he seems like he'd be chill about it on the outside but a mess on the inside. no one would even know he liked you unless he straight up told them. he'd be that subtle. but any time you two interacted or you dared make some type of physical contact with him his heartbeat would go crazy. he'd have to give himself pep talks every night to learn to control his breathing when he was around you.

chan -

everyone would know and everyone would make fun of him because of it. he'd probably make the mistake of telling one member about it and the next day they'd all know. even you'd know. but not because of him being obvious but more like because the members would tease him while you were around. he'd just give it up and play into it at that point. i mean, you already knew so he might as well just be direct about it at this point, right? he'd try to get to you with his humor (and im ngl it'd work) and maybe even flirt with you too.

How do you imagine Junior's interactions with people other than Tucker? You could do just the Blood Gulch Crew, but others like Freelancers or Chorusians would be interesting too.

While Junior is VERY big and physically intimidating, he's still not an adult, so most people see him and don't realize this is a KID... the Reds and Blues are aware of this, though. If they were in a situation where they have the time to actually think about it (and aren't currently in the middle of something that has everybody all stressed-out/riled-up), they'd try to make attempts to be nice to him (though some of them are so out of practice, they are unsure how to like... entertain children)

-Carolina wasn't good with kids even when she WAS a kid. Once she figures out how to make Junior laugh, she latches on to that, she's going to be the Funny Aunt (she also shows off, doing lots of cool stunts)

-Sarge is like "Hey kid, wanna see me blow something up?"

-Junior remembers Doc, and they're both automatically fond of each other. Doc knows what kind of snacks he likes, and will make it fun by having a whole "pretend restaurant" when they cook stuff together (O'Malley will be the one sho asks "Are any other kids picking on you? Wait, one of the PARENTS made a rude comment? I SHALL DESTROY THEM")

-Simmons is SO out of his depth at first, he's like "OK, Junior is a kid... like, a toddler? No, wait, he plays basketball, he's on a team... is he he in middle school? A teenager?". Once Junior shows any interest in books/building toys, Simmons forgets to be nervous and accidentally becomes very entertaining/nurturing (seriously, he doesn't even realize he's good at it)

-Grif is a big bro, he knows how to be fun. He shows Junior every version of the Ninja Turtles and Batman that exists, Junior thinks Grif is like the EXPERT on super hero stuff

-Tex will just buy him whatever he wants; A new bike? You got it. Oh, the bike broke? Well, I'll get you a heavy-duty MOTORCYCLE. Also, ALL OF THE POKEMON CARDS

-Donut tries to be helpful and warn Junior about "dangerous addictive substances", but also lets the kid drink coffee

-Wash is initially awkward about being left alone with Junior, but once the kid shows Wash what cartoons he likes to watch, Wash is like THANK GOODNESS, they can bond over that (once he really gets to know Junior, Wash is the fussy worry-wart who gets over-protective)

-Kai is the "big event" person, she'll take him to an amusement park or the movies, something really cool like that

-Church has decided he no longer thinks Junior is a "gross parasite", and refuses to admit he ever acted like that (if anybody tries to bring it up, Church just goes "What? I never said that. You're crazy"). When Church realizes Junior thinks he's cool, he takes that VERY seriously. The Fragments also help, they all like Junior a lot (Church definitely doesn't want children of his own, but he's actually very caring and even nurturing... when he isn't trying to be a jerk)

-Caboose is very passionate about telling Junior stories, so the kid will know all about what everybody was up to when they couldn't be together. Caboose will also collect lots of things he thinks Junior will like, putting them into little music boxes (whenever Caboose sees Junior, the kid feels like he's getting a magical gift of precious treasures)

-Lopez likes sharing different crafts with Junior, and teaches the kid how do things that are practical, like work on vehicles, but also creative things like carve wood and paint

-Locus is supremely ashamed of all the horrible things he ever did, he doesn't feel like he should even be allowed to be liked by Junior. He will remain invisible, but still keep Junior safe, and make sure the kid has whatever food or toys he wants. Junior thinks he has a friendly ghost following him around

-Everybody on Chorus either treats Junior like a very important ambassador (which is technically true) or royalty (which is possibly true?), but once people like Kimball, Grey, and the Lieutenants get to know him, they try to be very friendly and acknowledge his needs as a kid (Palomo and Matthews are arguably the best at entertaining him)

EDIT; fixed it, now complete with Caboose~

HIII Para, hope you are doing well and staying hydrated!

I wanted to ask if you think that Solei and Onyx would get along? I did draw them talking but that was mostly out of my own desire to draw Solei at the time, and I thought they might interact as they both seem somewhat antisocial and keen to fly under the radar, if you catch my drift? Anyways I'm curious about what you think!

Also your art is so good I love the piece you drew for Aurien's reaction to Solei's return (and also the Unsha and Ivan birthday thing that was so funny) <3

Hello rock !! I'm doing okay !! I hope you are taking care of yourself as well !! :)

I think Onyx and Solei would get along quite well (suprisingly)!

Onyx is a loner, he's not "friendly" but he's definitely not meanspirited. He has a pretty strong will and won't allow himself to be pushed around, which Solei respects. They might've been a little intimidated by him at first (internally noted him on their list of "people I might have to watch out for / be careful with") but once they realize that Onyx won't mess with anyone that doesn't mess with him first, they feel more at ease around him. They especially appreciate how he looks out for Aurien, it brings them comfort. Since Auri is familiar and comfortable with Onyx, this led to Solei developing a good impression of him despite not properly interacting yet.

Once Solei becomes more accustomed to Onyx's presence, they'd start asking him for little things and starting small interactions. Just simple stuff about class lectures, maybe for a group project or just a quick "have you seen Auri around?" Solei is friendly, but they're not too outgoing and tend to be careful around certain people. Because of this they'd try to start off small, hoping not to bore or annoy Onyx too much.

I feel like they'd develop a solidarity of sorts, maybe acknowledge each other with a head nod or something whenever they see each other. Solei makes sure not to push Onyx too hard in terms of interaction and is content to let their familiarity build up overtime. Eventually they'd get to the point where they could talk more at length (and just like the way you drew them, maybe talk shit lol. though Solei would mostly be nodding and listening). Solei is kind of like a sponge that graciously absorbs anything given to them. They're like. mingly? They like to mingle with people and is genuinely very fluid and agreeable, so if the other person wants to talk at length then let's do it! But if the other person prefers to be quiet that's fine also. They're down for anything. Solei enjoys the company of anyone (who isn't unnecessarily cruel) and hangs out with quite a lot of different personalities, so I think they'd really appreciate how grounding and calm people like Onyx and Tov are.

Sorry this got too long!! Feel free to correct me on anything if it seems out of character ^^

ALSO THANK YOU.... YOUR ART IS AMAZING AS WELL !! I adore Onyx's performance outfit !!

thoughts on that Wednesday Addams show

-the writing is incredibly juvenile in a way only an adult man who is not actually nor ever has been an "outcast" could accomplish

-that being said all the actors were really amazing! Especially Jenna Ortega!!!

-One thing I liked but felt was more by accident than by design was the way that this school of "outcasts" were like, really normal?? Like theyre just teenagers who happen to not be human. Which makes the fact that Wednesday is a human who's Not Normal kind of compelling. Wish this was an intentional idea though, it could've been played with a whole lot more.... also i just kinda wish they'd picked a word other than "outcasts" to call them. like oh my god i could absolutely see some line during the climax where theres all this petty teen drama where someones like "i might not be human, but at least im not a Monster like you Wednesday" woulda been AWESOME

-Wednesday's love triangle was lame and if she had to get with a guy I'd've preferred Eugene. I love his sibling relationship with wednesday sooo much. One of my favorite dynamics. However if she HAD to get with a guy. Id pick him. He reminds me of Joel from Addams Family Values.

-the fact that two guys fell wildly in love with Wednesday without her doing absolutely anything and also very clearly not returning the sentiment whatsoever and instead just using them whenever she needs them was really funny and on brand, wished the show had been self aware about it

-I really wish the other female characters played bigger roles? Like Enid was Great and I loved the glimpses of her friendship with Wednesday and Thing and their HUG omg,,, I wish the romance plots had been axed in favor of giving Wednesday's friendships more time to shine.

-I also wish Enid and Wednesday had danced together at the Rave'N. Enid goes and dances with all her friends but she never goes over to have fun with Wednesday :( it just felt wrong like, narratively, we saw how excited Enid was about Wednesday going to the dance and then the camera seems to cut to show Enid get excited from watching Wednesday dance and then they dont even Talk?? I hated that.

-also, Bianca. I really loved the way she was basically friends with Wednesday by the end of the show. Wish the show had done a better job at the Enemies to Friendly Rivals to Friends dynamic. Bianca in general is a REALLY cool character that I want more time with.

-Both Enid and Bianca would've made better love interests than the guys imo

-I did like the mysteries, though I'm not sure how well it actually works with the Addams. Because they wound up adding this plot line, no spoilers, about Gomez being accused of murder and Morticia gets super touchy about it. But like?? theyre the ADDAMS why would they be behaving like this about a death???? Makes no sense to me. Needed to be reworked, cuz there definitely are Ways to have made it work imo.

-I really loved all of the costuming for Wednesday though the color correction done on the uniforms makes me kinda sad. i think it would've been fun if the school had been more vibrant and full of life to better contrast who Wednesday is and how she stands out.

-Wednesday's relationship with Morticia is really weird, but in general I get the feeling that certain people involved didn't actually know what Morticia's character was like... at all? And a lot of the problems with the family dynamics stems from this mischaracterization of Morticia in particular. I know some people didn't like Wednesday going through a rebellious phase, but I actually think that fit her character just fine, it's how her parents react to this rebellion that feels out of character to me.

-the fact that they had a romance arc about a werewolf who struggled to be a werewolf and an awkward gorgon..... Very Monster High 2022 to me ngl

-Wednesday is Autistic and you can't convince me otherwise. Everything from the way all of her social interactions are written to the way she literally diverts eye contact whenever theres a closeup shot while she talks to people. shes just like me fr.

overall i give it a 6 out of 10. I wouldn't go around recommending it to people, it's kinda bad, but I got some enjoyment out of it,, so not fully the worst.

But Also if you haven't seen it I WOULD recommend you go watch the fanmade Adult Wednesday Addams series on youtube. It's a classic!

How would Tk, Patamon, Kari, and Gatomon interact with Pomni, Zooble, Ragatha, Jax, and Bubble? Since they’re trapped in the Digital Circus

Pomni:

They're very concerned for Pomni, to put it plainly

She's very nice and all, but she seems like she is on the brink of a breakdown

Kari and Gatomon offer her comfort as much as they can, while TK and Patamon just help keep people like Jax away

Pomni is pretty thankful for them. They're nice.

Zooble:

I think I answered this before?

I did for TK and Patamon

For Kari and Gatomon, I think they'd get along okay enough

Kari thinks they're a little too blunt and Gatomon is curious about all the pieces they have. Zooble thinks Kari's a little too bright, but she's fun to hang around

Ragatha:

They like Ragatha! She's super nice.

They like hanging out with her and seek her out if they have any questions or want some company

Patamon will sit on her head, but she doesn't mind. He's an adorable little guy

She thinks that they're all nice too! She likes hearing about their adventures

Jax:

None of them like Jax

He's rude and mean. They'll try to avoid him as much as they can.

Usually, it's TK or Gatomon telling him to bug off whenever he tries to come and mess with them

But Kari has made some fun quips back at him that made him stop in his tracks and give a surprised look

Bubble:

Bubble is... something

They're all kinda uneasy about him. He seems friendly, but is also kinda odd in a way that's unsettling

They don't go out of their way to hang out with him, but they also don't go out of their way to avoid him

Gatomon is sometimes annoyed by him and gets the temptation to pop him a lot

[bluegekk0]

Ok I need to stop ask questions about my ocs because I keep feeling like I’m being selfish but I just thought of it.

The Visionary was one of the only Vessels Albus Truly considered friend, And in the main story after Albus found white lady Visionary visited Albus regularly but if Albus stayed with FPK they would technically visit Albus at their home instead of the queens gardens, So basically how would FPK/the rest of the family react to visionary’s Lack of Eyeholes? And just general demeanor? They are very neutral on everything, They move Very stiffly (mainly so they don’t run into solid objects) so I’m just curious (And to reiterate they we’re born without eyeholes, Their is Nothing under that Blindfold)

well, fpk's reaction would be very similar to the other vessel you asked about. i don't think he'd treat this one any different aside from helping it whenever he can if their lack of vision gets in the way. since they can't see things, then letting them watch him working wouldn't really be a possibility, so i think he'd opt for talking to them, perhaps describing out loud what he's doing and how his new invention works. not that he's not prone to rambling in the first place, he very much is, and these days he finally feels comfortable doing so in the presence of others (thanks to grimm constant encouragement). so he'd probably end up doing that regardless, to be fair

as for the rest of the family, i know grimm would act friendly towards them, as he does to any offspring of fpk. would he have as close of a father-child relationship as he does with hornet or holly? i'm not sure, perhaps with time? he wouldn't be opposed to it

hornet would have some reservations, she did fight vessels before and, until relatively recently, she unfortunately saw them as unfeeling void beings. with holly it was easy to adjust her view, since they were very actively seeking interaction, but with a vessel that's far more "passive"? i think she'd have to actively fight against the idea that what she's witnessing just confirms her previous thoughts on the vessels. but i think she'd come around

holly would immediately act kind towards them, they are their sibling so they have an inherent connection shared between void beings. so not much to say here, they'd be very friendly

zote would be mean as he is to everyone. as expected

lewk would be friendly, similarly to holly, though it's more because he's naturally like that. if he's told that the vessel is his sibling, he'd see them as such. perhaps he'd ask why their new sibling has no eyes, as you'd expect from a curious kid, but he wouldn't treat them any differently because of it

[cinnikiroll]

soul(mate) searching

Summary: Sebastian is sad because he doesn't have a soulmate like the rest of the team. Loretta comforts him.

Word Count: 1,407 words

Trigger Warnings: none

There really is no hope for me.

Sebastian thought, as he watched Hannah and Tammy walk out of the morgue hand in hand.

First Pride and Rita, now those two. It was as if fate- or whatever controlled life, Sebastian didn't know what did no matter how much he tried to find out- was trying to see how much he could take before his heart broke.

The steady pulse of pain in his chest and inconsistent beating beneath his trembling fingertips proved to him that, after months of feeling left out and lonely whenever he saw couples interacting around him, his heart had finally given up hiding the emotions and sorrow it felt. It was finally expunging them, and in a violent way.

Sebastian's long, lanky legs collapsed beneath him and he crumpled to the tile floor of the lab, his tall body curled up into an impossibly tight ball as he rocked up and down, patting his shoulders with his shaking hands in a futile attempt to self soothe.

Outside the morgue, it was a beautiful bright sunny day. There were no clouds besides small tiny cotton-like clumps, so the sky was a wide tapestry of blue. The voices of overjoyed soulmates laughing and playing together despite the oppressively hot New Orleans weather just put the last nail in the coffin, and Sebastian felt the pain of loneliness spreading to every corner of his body.

Loneliness was a cancer. And it was metastasizing within him, killing every ounce of his hope that he'd ever be loved, ever be looked at as anything other than a skinny, nerdy lab technician.

Can there ever be a cure for this?

He thought as his sobs grew in volume and intensity, deafening the joyful cacophony that could previously be heard from outside the windows of the lab.

Will I ever feel loved by anyone?

He wondered, his body curling in on itself like a turtle trying to hide within its shell.

As his pain threatened to drown him, Sebastian tried to keep his head above water by thinking of the members of his team. They were his friends. They cared about him. As long as they'd be around, he wasn't lonely.

But it wasn't the same...

No amount of friendly hugs, shoulder bumps, or smiles could heal the pain that he felt deep in his heart. Everyone else in the world had a soulmate, so why didn't he? What made him so much different than anyone else?

It wasn't as if he had sky-piercingly high standards. Anyone who loved him, who would care for him- and yes, anyone who would put up with his addiction to Dungeons and Dragons- was attractive to him. But for some reason, he just wasn't equally as attractive.

Thinking about all the relationships he'd attempted to have only for them to end in sorrow just made the waves loom higher over his head.

Pain was an ocean. And it was pulling him down to its depths, submerging any hope of belonging, of having a healthy and positive relationship with anyone.

Can someone dive under and save me?

He thought, trying to imagine another person in the room with him, gently caressing him and whispering sweet words into his ears.

Will I ever belong with anyone?

He looked up, and met the dark eyes of a very concerned Loretta Wade.

She knelt down by his side, pulling his lanky body into her arms. Resting his head against her chest, he felt the rise and fall of her breaths and her steady heartbeat. Slowly but surely, the repetitive sounds and motions lulled him back into a relaxed state.

"What is it, Sebastian?"

Her tone, usually warm and friendly, was now husky with hidden sorrow and dyed boldly with concern. Seeing the man she thought of as her son breaking down like this seemingly randomly... it destroyed her. She needed to know what was wrong, needed to help him.

Loretta had always been motherly to Sebastian. She'd noticed his socially awkward nature from the first moment she'd met him, and had made it her personal mission to take him under her wing and nurture him until he felt comfortable being himself.

Despite regretting her decision many times (every time she heard him ramble on about something totally unrelated to whatever topic was being discussed, she cursed herself a tiny bit for insisting that being open about his interests was totally okay) she never regretted the love she had for him.

She herself had contemplated her lack of a soulmate many times, unbeknownst to Sebastian. But, unlike him, she found herself content with her current state. She had her dear friends on the team... and she had Sebastian, her dear son-that-wasn't-really-her-son. Relationships scared her somewhat, after her negative experience with her ex husband. Being single was by all means not the norm, especially in a city such as New Orleans, but she embraced her status.

Turning her attention back to the trembling young man sitting on the floor next to her, she gently stroked his shoulders and back. Repetitive motion was something she knew calmed him down, so she engaged in it, and smiled when she heard his breathing starting to be less ragged.

"Thanks, 'Retta," he whispered in a voice made hoarse by tears.

The way he shortened her name was really rather cute, and it made Loretta smile.

"Why are you so upset, Sebastian? Is it..."

She trailed off, not wanting to bring up the issue of soulmates with him. She knew it was a sore subject, and didn't want to upset him again.

Sebastian was a smart man. He knew exactly what she was going to say, knew that, as someone else who was bereft of a soulmate, she could understand his woes.

"I was doing some soul searching," he muttered, trying to sound casual even though his heart was dying more with every second he thought about the topic of soulmates.

Loretta arched one of her eyebrows, curious as to what relevance that had to the current topic.

"I realized... maybe I don't deserve a soulmate. Maybe I'll never... never have one..."

He looked down at his hands sadly, noticing that they were beginning to tremble again from all the excess emotions he was feeling. With a deep sigh, he looked back up at Loretta, who seemed deeply saddened by his words.

The tender touch of her strong, callused fingers on his hand took him by surprise. She had noticed his symptoms, and was trying to treat them. Even when it came to love, she acted like a doctor.

"That's not true, Sebastian! You do deserve a soulmate. It's just..."

She intertwined her fingers with his, and the two of them locked eyes. Both of them had tears threatening to fall, the emotional impact of the moment evident in their faces.

"You haven't met the right woman yet. When you do, your love will be beautiful."

Shyly, Sebastian corrected Loretta's statement.

"Not just a woman. Anybody... I'd take anybody. Any gender... it's fine."

Loretta's eyes lit up at this realization and she shook Sebastian a bit in her excitement.

"So, you're pansexual?"

Tammy had schooled the whole team on the LGBTQ+ community shortly after beginning to date Hannah, and Loretta had faithfully taken notes, remembering any important details just in case she treated anyone or met anyone who was a part of it. She never knew it would come in handy with Sebastian, but she should have figured it would.

Sebastian nodded. His anxiety seemed to have spiked at the mention of his identity, and Loretta resumed stroking his back to calm him down.

"I'm proud of you for being yourself, for finding yourself. I know it can be hard sometimes."

Her voice was gentle and motherly, and it plus the gentle touches of her hands on his skin helped calm him down.

"Do you think I'll ever find a soulmate?"

He asked in a shy, gentle voice, like a child seeking reassurance and love from a parent.

Loretta bent over and kissed him gently on the forehead.

"You certainly will. And when you do, you'll be the happiest man in the world."

Her words calmed him, and he rose up from the floor, groaning in agony as his legs protested the motion. Loretta joined him, and together, they resumed work with smiles on their faces, confident that one day soon, they'd find their soulmates.

1) Poor reader must have had a terrifying, bizzare experience going up and down his throat as he fought his body. Moron keeper must also be incredibly lucky to have survived so long despite Moon's strong dislike of him. Since the head keeper doesn't believe him, would moon purposely swallow reader and make a big show of it or show off his crop to moron, but not head? Owl moon may like their struggles, but he has yet to experience the joy of belly rubs XD That's two stories now where moon likes

2) a human and NEEDS to seal them away inside his body, tucked away from sight and deep inside him. I would imagine that it's hard for reader to leave and go home for the day. After all, why do they need to leave? He's got his nest or crop they can sleep in, they feed him so the keepers could bring his foolish human food and he could clean and groom them. I imagine he would get moody or sulk during their days off or when they have to go home. I'm sure Sun is also eager to befriend reader ~Shy

🥭:oh it was definitely bizarre for reader and did not help their panic and the only reason the moron has survived this long is they kept shooting him with tranquilizer darts and he would definitely make a show of nomming reader in front of them, especially since they got their tranq gun taken as part of their punishment. Purely because it's much funnier to see them run off to tell the head keeper 'look he did it again' only for them to both come back and just see Moon with Sun and reader standing there trying to teach them how to speak..

at least Moon sees it that way because he'll look smug at the keeper he doesn't like and said keeper will go like 'THE OTHER ONE IS IN ON IT TOO!' but Sun is the nice friendly one so head keeper is like "you must have imagined it" Sun just gets confused as to what it is he's in or on and lifts a foot to see if he stepped in or on something accidentally whenever that happens.

Once Moon experiences belly rub he will melt into a mess of incoherent but very good feeling. Luckily the head keeper, since it seems like reader tamed Moon is just going to have reader there to monitor Moon 24/7 so there's no more incidents...which means they're gonna keep Moon distracted with reader while they build reader a treehouse to live in on site in the tree right next to Moon's nest. He will eventually see the little thing being built and will be agitated at first till he sees reader go up it's ladder and talk to the people building it about things they'd like to have in it.

Moon is then like "Ah, humans have nests too but need help making them...." Then it would take a sec before he gets excited and realizes "THEY'RE MAKING (Y/N) A NEST NEXT TO MINE, SUN COME HERE, LOOK LOOK." to which Sun will also get excited because friend is gonna live next to Moon now and they can have sleepovers..but your very much right about his logic, before reader's 'human nest' is built that is exactly what he acts like. "No you're gonna stay here." It's Sun who has to convince him to let reader go because "Moooony they have to go do human things."

Moon does get sulky and moody about it before the who 'human nest' thing happens and as a harpy is going to think they were just off gathering stuff to have their own nest built, which Moon does find a little silly because he has a perfectly nice nest for them to stay in, Sun ends up having to explain that humans need more things than a normal nest has "Trust me Moony, I know how humans work." And he does because he interacts with them alot as a big friendly birb.

He's allowed in the kids touch play area sometimes so he gets to play with 'human chicks', thinks the baby humans are adorable, coos over them and allows them to climb all over him, he's aware they are very delicate so he is very careful with them. This is also how he knows about 'human things and needs' because he hears the adult talk about such things.

As a little funny bonus here on the topic of reader teaching them to speak thier first two words.

Sun's first two words are "tiny friend"

While Moon's are "nom" which he says playfully to reader sometimes even if he's not actually going to do it, and "yoink" which he will use when snatching reader up mid flight while reader is talking to someone or reader isn't paying attention and he just take reader to his nest for cuddles.

Kuroo Tetsurou x reader

Summary: You've been avoiding him all week, and now he's starting to question what exactly you're doing when you pull Yaku into rooms with you.

Warnings: angst, cheating?, Lil fluff at the end as a treat

A/n: ITS KUROOS BIRTHDAY!!!! Kuroo is the captain of my favorite team and was one of my first favorite characters! I hope I did him justice with this lil fic also I apologize for the angst 😔

----------------------------------------------------------

Why were you avoiding him?! And on his birthday never the less!!

The whole day whenever you spotted him you'd skitter off without a second look behind you.

It was kind of annoying actually.

You hadn't said a word to him today besides your good morning text. For the first time in a long time, Kuroo was feeling kinda lonely. The past few weeks you had been slowly spending less and less time with him; this week had been the worse so far, he's only talked to you face to face about three times.

Kuroo stepped into the classroom, eyes scanning the groups of faces for you. Maybe you'd want to talk a bit before you had to go to your class like usual? He spotted you by the front of the room pointing at paper that was spread out on Kai's desk, Yaku and Kai listening intently to what you were saying.

Unfortunately, Kai noticed him walking over to the small group and nudged your arm. You looked up from the paper and froze when your eyes met with his. In a split second, you hurriedly snatched the paper from the desk shoving it into your bag then grabbed Yaku's hand and dragged him out of the classroom.

Kuroo sighed inwardly.

You sure had been spending a lot of time with Yaku these past few weeks; you seemed to almost always be around him, grabbing onto his hand, pulling him into different rooms...Whispering to him....in the halls......

Wait a minute

You couldn't actually be...

The two of you weren't.....You'd never.....Yaku wouldn't... Right?

Then why was there this awful feeling twisting in his chest, a feeling that only got heavier as he thought back on how weird you had been acting the past few weeks, like you were hiding something from him.

Kuroo felt like he was gonna throw up. Has he really been that blind? Were you actually cheating on him right under his nose, and with one of his teammates?

He sat down at his desk completely ignoring Kai's gentle greetings.

He felt numb. He also felt completely and utterly stupid.

Did Kai know? He was the one to tip you off that he was in the room. Now that he thought about it Fukunaga did something similar earlier in the week.

Did everyone know but him?

The rest of the day went by slowly. It felt like he was trapped in a pool of molasses, slowly and painfully trudging through, only to be pulled back in by his sticky thoughts and doubts.

By the time practice came around he was exhausted, emotionally and physically.

He was so out of it, he almost didn't hear Coach Nekomata wish him happy birthday with a cheery smile and a soft pat on the back.

"You're acting weird"

Kuroo glanced up at Kenma from his spot on the bench.

"What do you mean by that?"

Kenma sighed and shuffled over to sit next to him, "You keep spacing out," he mumbled softly, "you're playing stiffly and you've been avoiding Yaku like the plague."

He really can't fool Kenma, huh? I guess growing up together played a part in that.

Kuroo sighed, he unconsciously started to ring the towel in his hands. He didn't want to admit it out loud, his body started to burn from the build-up of thoughts and emotions throughout the day.

"I think (y/n)'s cheating on me," Kuroo's stomach twisted sickly at saying that sentence out loud.

"Why's that?"

"They've been avoiding me all week, they've also started being very friendly with Yaku."

Kenma almost burst out laughing at the absurdity of the situation, quickly masking it with a cough.

"I don't think they'd ever cheat on you, they probably have an explanation for their behavior," Kenma said, he silently pulled out his Switch already booting up a game.

Kuroo frowned at the gym floor. He hated feeling like this.... He felt lost and hurt, a dull ache pierced his heart when his thoughts drifted to you.

Just as he was about to go help clean up the gym, Nekomata called out to him.

"Go deliver these papers to the principal for me, the directors wanted a copy of the tournament schedule."

Kuroo only nodded and made his way out of the building, at least he got out of cleaning up the gym today.

When he arrived back at the gym all of the lights were off.

That's odd....usually, there are a few people who hang back and work on solo drills.

He stepped into the dark building, searching blindly for the light switch. At this point by he just wanted to go home and sleep, it hadn't been that great of a birthday anyway.

He flipped on the lights only to be startled by the sound of a confetti popper.

Kuroo turned around, the entire team was stood in the middle of the gym with you in the front holding a cake with a bright smile.

What?

"Happy birthday Tetsurou!!"

You handed the cake to Kai, who went off with Fukunaga to cut it, and launched yourself at him trapping him in a tight hug.

"Surprised?"

He looked down at you, his brain was still catching up with the fact that you were actually interacting with him, "...yes?"

"Ah! I’m so glad I don't have to keep a secret anymore! That was so long!" Lev shrieked.

You turned to Lev with a baffled look, "What do you mean long! I literally just told you what we were doing yesterday."

You started bantering with Lev but your conversation blurred out as something clicked in Kuroo's brain.

Yesterday?

"How long have you been planning this?"

You turned away from Lev and looked up at him, "A few weeks, Kai and Yaku helped a bunch though!"

Oh.....well that explains a lot.

Kuroo let out a sigh of relief and pulled you into his chest, you looked at him with a worried expression, "Are you ok Tetsu?"

He chuckled slightly. Could he consider himself ok if he spent the entire day thinking you had been cheating on him only to find out you were just planning a surprise party?

He got his answer as he looked into your eyes, they sparkled with love whenever you were near him and the genuine concern on your face made his heart clench.

"I'm great, (y/n)" he smiled at you then proceeded to press kisses all over your face causing you to giggle at his actions.

There was a gagging noise heard behind you causing the both of you to look in the direction of the sound.

The gagging came from Yaku with a slightly disgusted Kenma standing next to him, their faces scrunched up at your display of affection.

"We get it you're both sickeningly cute but please for our sake save the sappy stuff for later"

"You think I'm cute Yakkun?"

"Don't push your luck!"

<< ---------------------------------------------------- >>

Kuroo enjoyed the small party with the team but he was even happier now that he got to spend alone time with you. The second the both of you got back to his house he was pulling you to his room so he could cuddle you to death. After the absolute rollercoaster of emotions he went through today he needs to just hold you close to further convince himself that you wouldn't ever leave.

"Tetsurou?" you piped up from your position lying against his chest, your hand continued to twist and twirl locks of his messy hair.

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure you're ok? Nothing happened today right?"

Ah

He didn't have the heart to lie to you, so he came clean. He told you about this morning where he made the silly assumption that you were cheating on him and how your behavior fit in with everything.

"Oh Tetsu, I'm so sorry! I didn't even realize what everything could have looked like from your perspective," you pulled yourself closer to him, tucking your face into his chest, "I'd never cheat on you, ok? And I don't plan on leaving you any time soon.... you're too important to me."

What you said was barely above a whisper but those words rang loudly in Kuroo's heart.

His eyes burned slightly with unshed tears as he pressed his face to the top of your head.

"I wouldn't dream of leaving you either, (y/n)."

Oh Rayn you KNOW i have thoughts on this but imma post them here bc id like to sort throigh them.

Things we know about Carlisle and his Vampire Parent:

they were uncivilised

they were ancient

they were residing in the sewers in London in 1663

they killed two other villagers before attacking and grievously wounding Carlisle

its unclear why they stopped before killing him too, but they supposedly got away

Ancient can mean a lot of things but we can assume they're at least classical era kinda origin (perhaps as old as the Volturi themselves??) If that's true, we could assume that the Volturi would know of any other European vampires as old as they are. But that would be a big assumption. Obviously we know how word about Renesmee got to the Volturi but otherwise, they tend to know what's happening around the world through the grape vine (southern wars, Seattle newborns, immortal children etc). My theory (and someone pls correct me if canon says im wrong) is that the Volturi have scouts all over that report back on any exposing vampire shenanigans, which is why Carlisle's coven, being as close to humans as they are, are so well known to the Volturi (also Aro has a fat crush but yknow). As the sewer vamps were living uncivilised and literally underground, it could very well be presumed that they're off the grid and have managed to stay alive to the present day. Like Carlisle himself, theyve had a few centuries to leave London. They coulr very well be living a state over from him in the US.

So if they did run into each other, we can assume that the Parent Vampire's perfect memory would recall Carlisle's face. They'd likely know that that is a vampire they created bc they'd remember, right? How they would react though, we dont know. We don't know anything about their character besides the fact that they are 'uncivilised' (in Smeyer's words). If they've been uncivilised for their entire post-death lives, just waltzin about the world since Ancient Times, they're likely still uncivilised bc vamps are largely unchanging, frozen in time. So logically, id be inclined to assume they'd still be. We know that means that they basically feed on humans whenever without much care, but what does it mean in vampire culture? Maybe they'd still be violent with other vamps? Or maybe the knowledge that Carlisle is their vampire child would make them more friendly? Or perhaps Carlisle just being in another coven would be enough to be challenging and therefore bring us back to a violent interaction? Basically, idk.

But what if Carlisle knew the vamp he's bumped into is his Parent? It's certainly possible that the parent's face would jog some hazy human memories but also, he might be able to smell it. I've consulted the Vampires section in the twible and it doesnt go into much detail but fanon is all pretty cohesive on the belief that they can smell each other right? Like all the Cullens can pick out each other's scents. Maybe its just because theyre so familiar w each other or maybe it's because each vampire has a distinct scent. We dont know much about the effects of venom but we know that a Parent's venom manipulates the DNA of the Child (giving them like 2 extra chromosomes). Bc each human has a unique genetic signature, we could assume the same is true for each vampire's venom. This certainly fits w the idea that a parent's venom is much more adequate to heal their Child's wounds than any other vamp's venom. So w all that being said, its not impossible that a Child would also smell somewhat like their Parent - although you can't really confirm that i guess as venom has a lot of properties.

But say that Carlisle can recognise that this vamp is his Parent, either by smell or by memory, what then? Idk man but its fuckin' interesting. I think Carlisle's reaction would depend heavily on the Parent's. We know that Carlisle hates his scars. He covers them up, he shies away from people seeing or touching them. Theyre a violent reminder of an incredibly traumatic event that then triggered several decades of suicide attempts, pain, isolation and just a terrible fuckin' time. But does he regret being turned? No, not really. He hates his rebirth story but without it, he wouldnt have his family now. He also has done a lot of soul searching (like literally) and his new moon speech to Bella kinda confirms that he's made a good amount of peace with what he is. Buttt,,, his Parent dying? That wouldnt change his present. I think Carlisle is dark enough in canon that he would become violent if he felt it justified. And if his Parent is still uncivilised, i think he wouldnt find it too hard to justify. And i think his fam would mostly support that decision: murder aint never stopped em before. In fact, i think a number of the kids would want to help.

But if the Parent is civilised? If he reasons w Carlisle that he was only acting in self-defence (not likely as Carlisle's attack was incredibly graphic and violent) then i think Carlisle would have a harder time justifying murder and violence. I think the most in-character outcome is that he'd warn his Parent that he has a very very large and very powerful coven at his disposal and he's not afraid to take him out, so Parent best take their uncivilised ass and skedaddle on out the country so Carlisle never sees them again.

Another fun scenario this post is making me think about tho, is if its not Carlisle that comes across the Parent. Say its one of the kids. If my 'Parents scent lingers somewhat in the scent of their Children's venom' theory is true, the kids and Esme would be familiar enough w Carlisle's scent that they'd recognise them as at least some kinda vampire Relative of Carlisle's. I think thatd be interesting and the outcome would likely very much depend on who it is that discovers the Parent

Anyway if anyone wants to write a fic about this, im hella fuckin interested

Hot take but what if the vampire that turned Carlisle is still alive and kicking? How would that be?

Would they be aware of Carlisle and what he's done and what he has accomplished? He has, after all, gained a fair bit of notoriety amongst vampires and the Volturi alike.

Are they one of those rogue vampires that flies under the radar? (You can not tell me the Volturi knows about every single vampire out there)

Would there be the chance that at one point or another Carlisle runs into them? Would they know? What would that encounter be like on the off chance that it happens?
