#but they can very well pull a uno reverse card

[delusionalbitchinthehouse]

« I will blow you to fucking pieces- »

« Oh yeah, show me how you’ll blow me »

Every heads in the common room snap toward Phantom, grinning nonchalantly at Dew, who’s fuming rage is visibly melting into sheer disbelief. The fire ghoul blinks, stunned, and glances at the rest of the pack.

« …what ? You know I can be funny, » Phantom huffs under the weight of nine incredulous pairs of eyes, still looking rather pleased with themselves.

Dewdrop shakes his head, a slow smile forming instead of his snarl from seconds ago.

« Yeah, but we didn’t know you could be that foul mouthed, » the fire ghoul retorts, grabbing Phantom’s face in both hands and drawing them into a short, agressive kiss, more like a shove of his lips against theirs, « I’m so fucking proud. »

With a heavy sigh, Aether pinches the bridge of his nose.

« Don’t encourage them. You’re rubbing off on them enough as it is- bug if I hear one joke about rubbing off I swear to Satan I will melt the language center of your brain. »

Phantom’s mouth snaps shut, but they shrug Aether’s threat off.

« You wouldn’t. You like me too much. Besides, who’s to say I wouldn’t melt yours ? »

« Cocky, » Swiss comments with a face-splitting grin, highly entertained by the whole interaction, as Aether rolls his eyes fondly.

Making their way toward the very prized spot between Cirrus and Mountain on the couch, Phantom pointedly raises their eyebrow at Swiss.

« You’re one to talk. »

Swiss raises his hands in mock surrender, Phantom curls into Cirrus’ and Mountain’s arms, the whole pack settles for the planned movie night - which had been the start of the short-lived argument between Dew and Phantom, for the quint had had the audacity to criticize Dew’s favorite horror movie - and the whole thing is almost forgotten, until the fire ghoul turns toward Phantom with a devilish smirk.

« For the record, I’d do it very well. Blowing you, I mean. »

Instead of the flustered reaction he was hoping for, Dew only gets a tilt of head and a playful smile.

« I’ll keep that in mind for the next time we need to shut you up. »

guess i missed you too much

✱ boyfriend!bc x fem!reader

— that's what being in love does to you.

w.count → 1.2k genre → fluff warning → reader referred to as baby and my love, 2 (two) chatroom screenshots a.n → based on this request! ngl i was like '!!!' as soon as i read the request bc i can just imagine how it would go i'm—ㅠㅠㅠ also, i have an announcement here about requests, commissions, and fanart shop—i would really appreciate it if you'd check it and help a girl out♡ ⋆ if you're enjoying my stories, do send me a ko-fi ⋆ see masterlist

to put it simply, chan is dumbfounded.

he's pretty sure he had mentioned to both han and changbin that you're coming here, to seoul, in a exactly week and chan needs to have all the urgent project revisions to be done prior to your arrival. he's absolutely sure the two promised they will only be gone for a little while to get some coffee to wake them up, and chan is now certain that the two are definitely not only heading out to grab those goddamn coffee.

"if you two aren't back here in 5, just know this is your one and only warning," chan muttered through gritted teeth, trying his best not to sound too pissed before sending the voicenote in their '3racha only' groupchat.

it's not that chan didn't understand—he knows he's been pushing both changbin and han more than he usually does, and chan is very much aware that the duo are bound to be a bit more rebellious than usual once they reach their point of exhaustion, but he really is looking forward to the time he's about to spend with you, and he's not about to let anything come and ruin that.

it's been a while since you've last spent a considerable amount of time together with chan. sure, there are stolen dates here and there whenever a holiday would match up and you could take some time off to visit chan's version of paradise (which is unironically everywhere within the bounds of japan) together, but those visits always ends as quickly as it starts and left the two of you with a longer list of regrets by the time you had to let your hands slip away from chan' warmth.

so this time, when you finally were able put your responsibilities on rest for two whole weeks, it didn't take much of a convincing for either you or chan to finalize the dates when you would finally be able to be within each other's reach. chan even went the extra mile to immediately book your flight coming in, though you had to basically threaten him with no video calls for a week if he went through with his other plans to spoil you rotten.

well, you could only hope that chan won't pull any uno reverse card on you once this plan came to an end.

a bell sound from his phone quickly distracts chan from the lines of lyrics he's trying to edit—an action he came to regret when the notification in view were merely a singular line of emojis sent by changbin, consisting of the same teasing faces and a pink ribbon both changbin and han been sending chan for days now on end.

"oh, he's done," chan groaned, head tilted back in annoyance as he threw his poor beanie back at the sofa where changbin was supposed to be seated right now. to be frank, chan didn't understand what changbin has been implying with the string of emojis at all. presumably changbin and han had seen the way chan saved your kakao talk profile—hence the pink ribbon, but why now? exactly when chan's the most sensitive of the topic? the fact that chan couldn't contact you drives him even crazier—you had told him you haven't been feeling well and you'd text him again once you feel better, but that was like, what, an eternity ago? chan didn't want the risk of waking you up either especially with your trip coming up, so…

he's basically helpless.

another set of annoyed groan became chan's initial response when his phone came alive with a new notification. reluctantly grabbing the device, chan was mentally prepared for a text bubble sent by the youngest of the three, containing of the same string of emojis changbin had just sent—only for his heart to jump out of his chest when he saw the pink ribbon next to your name.

before chan could type another reply, his attention were robbed by the knocks on his studio door—which is a little weird considering neither han or changbin would bother, and the fact that it's nearly midnight meant that almost no one that chan knows of should be looking for him around this time of night.

"manager hyung?" chan cautiously called out, instinctively grabbing his discarded beanie before he went to reach for the door. "did you leave something? or are you—"

the words on chan's tongue dissipates soon after the door swung open—but even with the way his eyes just doubled in size, chan still couldn't believe what he's currently seeing right in front of him now.

"hi, my channie," you finally spoke, a wide grin decorating your lightly flushed face from all the adrenaline you've been feeling; and only then, chan seems to wake up from his trance.

"wha—baby?" chan could hear how voice had skipped an octave higher, but he couldn't care less—did he fell asleep? is this a dream? chan had to pinch himself before he even pulled you in his arms, tightly wrapping the giggling mess that you are in his warmth. "you're actually here? wasn't your flight next week? did i got the dates wrong? how—"

"whoa whoa, calm down there, racer," you quickly stopped your boyfriend's wild train of questions, still with your smile plastered across the span of your face—your plan is a massive success.

"it was supposed to be next week," you confirmed, eyes still taking in chan's perplexed face while your brain etched the memory in its hall of fame, "but i miss my boyfriend too much to wait another week, so… i asked for bin and jisung's help to change my plane ticket!"

suddenly, everything that's been happening to chan in the past week just clicked—the time he caught changbin and han meddling with his laptop, the nervous chuckles, the way they become way to secretive with their phones, the phone calls, and those lines of goddamn emojis. it all finally makes sense.

"is that so?" chan shook his head despite the clear view of his dimpled smile, arms tightening around your waist, "so you three little naughty being has been cooking up plans behind my back, that's what you're saying?"

the sound of your sweet laugh fills chan with an overwhelming sense of warmth— you might spend the majority of your year apart from each other, but for chan, it's moment like this that makes all the dark nights of longing seem worth to be worth his patience.

after all, you're everthing chan ever wanted in his life.

"my my," clicking his tongue in faux disappointment, chan gently fixed the strands of hair falling over your eyes—ones ever so tender whenever you fixed your gaze on him, "what am i gonna do with you, hm? you naughty little baby?"

"not sure," you cheekily replied, lightly scrunching your nose the way chan usually does. you're just happy that you're finally in chan's arms again, to hell with any of the 'repercussions' chan might be building in his head for your little misdemeanor.

"but can you kiss me first?" you continued, trying your best to stay nonchalant despite the sudden spike of your heartbeat due to your own silly attempt at being witty and chan's surprised laugh, "i think i need my boyfriend's kiss so i could face my punishments later."

frankly, chan's head is still plagued with tons after tons of questions of your little successful stunt—he can't help it, you're someone he love and cares about after all,

but who is he to deny your sweet little plea?

Danny fake guardian angel au

You know how sometimes it’s highlighted how you have to be very careful on what you say in the presence of a spirit because they can twist your words and end up bidding yourself to it?? well uno-reverse-card the spirit also has to be careful on what he says because when Danny had said he owed the dude one for coming to his rescue in a gala Vlad had dragged him to, he didn’t expect that to be taken literally.

danny: wait seriously?? i literally say that all the time!

cw: not after being crowned ghost king, you haven’t

danny: but—but I was also human when I said it. doesn’t that protect me or smth

cw: *shakes his head*

danny:

danny: omg this is a nightmare

cue timmy’s brucequest period (cuz he’s the guy) being so high strung and tired, he just wants some company, which is a so low stakes thing to want the deal Danny unintentionally goes sure we can do that and pulls him towards the guy, despite Timmy never outright saying he wants company. (tim always speaks in the sanctity of his own mind, not out loud)

So. random spirit manifesting. Tim going all who the fuck are u

and Danny panicking and saying your guardian angel

Tim not being impressed while Danny promptly blushes like a moron because that did not come off as he wanted it to.

Yes accidental dead tired where the dynamic goes from Tim trying to shake this probably demon that somehow latched to him being all like ??? dude leave me alone, and Danny being there like bitch i’m trying

to

huh. im actually being protected by a spirit like he said he would. he’s strangely an idiot but also he’s overpowered and just never leaves my side which he says it’s an angel obligation but I think it’s bullshit but also hoping it’s not because it appeals to my crippling fear of abandonment (anyways he really seems to take after those little cartoon angels that poof into your shoulder to keep from me doing wrong decisions) translate into my future boyfriend seems increasingly appalled to what i am up to

meanwhile danny

Bitch you better thank your god I’m dead because otherwise I would already been killed. I did not sign up for a assassins what the fuck I thought you were a normal civilian not a literal superhero and omg that is a fruitloop. no no back off you wrinkly raisin this is my emotional support idiot you can’t have him and what do you mean you’re messing with time whatever this way I can get back to clockwork—

[beautyconsumer]

(I see you've redone your blog again) but anyway JayGrant is sooooo the friends that make a marriage pact as kids. And Jason thinks it's a joke but Grant is SO serious. 20 years later Grant breaks into Jason's apartment and is like "so I've noticed you're not yet wed-" and Jason is like "I THOUGHT YOU WERE FUCKING DEAD WHAT THE FUCK!" And Grant is like "Irrelevant. I need you to update your hand measurements to get the ring resized."

I did! I want it to represent what's going on on this little corner of Tumblr of mine hehe thanks for noticing!

Also!!! ASASGDJFG "I need you to update your hand measurements to get the ring resized." Meaning he already has a ring and has been constantly measuring Jason's hand throughout their childhood/teenage years, lmaoo I imagine Jason sitting there while Grant measures his hand going "lol you still on that?" While Grant very much is.

Jason being pulled the uno reverse card for once and being in the other end of "I THOUGHT YOU WERE FUCKING DEAD WHAT THE FUCK!" is so freaking funny.

Jason is still reeling on the fact that Grant came back at all, cause he had given hope he would. Jason sees his own resurrection as a curse so seeing Grant reviving gives him a new perspective and of course Grant goes, "We're soulmates, actually."

And Jason kind of believes him. Wants to believe him too.

Jason is —other than surprised Grant came back at all— is like "You meant it???"

Because he's on board, HEAVILY so, because he gets to marry the first crush he ever had, the very hetero guy who would mess around for shits and giggles, and make him flustered and red faced every time he'd throw hypotheticals at him: "I would treat you better than anyone else", "If you married me we'd never spend our nights sleeping"

All of this is especially funny immediately after Grant's resurrection, because Grant is fully convinced he came back for that one reason (it's actually way deeper than that but his obsessive streak is not gonna wind down for a while.)

Grant goes over the top with everything, the ring, the weeding, the preparations, his rich kid upbringing along his entitlement and hedonistic nature (that only amplified when he came back from dead) makes him a nightmare for anyone who gets on his way of making the Wedding anything less than perfect. This also goes along with me headcanoning him as a perfectionist (having your parents criticizing your shit since ever will do that to ya) bridezilla Grant says who lmao

And if we're going with the family dynamics...

Adeline Kane clutches her chest and almost has a heart attack because she finds out her son is alive Through a freaking Weeding Invitation.

Joey as well and his brain is balancing from wanting to beat the shit out his brother for making them go through this to go hug him and demand to be his best man.

Respawn, Alex, Rose and Wintergreen are invited as well, if only to cement the fact that Slade is very much not invited. He still shows up, though.

Jade is the bridesmaid, or best woman, or however it is. Grant shows up one day and is like "Bitch I'm getting married, you're the bridesmaid," she sighs, looks at his choice of a husband, sighs even more heavily and then they go shopping for the wedding.

The batfam on the other hand, Bruce and Dick are the ones who are having the hardest time.

Bruce is happy at first that Jason is settling and getting married, but then—

"Married to who?!"

Dick is sweating bullets, "Jason, you're still young, you don't have to settle for this one just yet!"

"No, I gotta."

Babs walks him through acceptance. When he recovers he drops Jason hints (as in, big passive aggressive hints) of him being the best man.

Jason lets him in tension for a while, at least until he decides who's gonna be the best man because he's not the first one to not-ask.

Meanwhile Steph and Tim pipe in, "can we plan your bachelor party?"

Damian is happy he gets to spend time and meet his half brother's family, (Respawn) and Jason will be there too I guess.

Jason is very much shoving in their faces, "I'm getting married before any of you losers."

Talia and Harvey are invited as well much to Bruce's dismay.

Bruce gets surprisingly along and is very supportive with Grant while he's in one of his bridezilla episodes because yes, Grant is right: Jason’s wedding deserves the best of the best.

Grant gets very intense about it too, hence, mark Jason down as scared and horny.

Slade, on the other hand, gets whiplash because Addie was just like that on their wedding.

[amonarchsjoke]

Female! Sakura headcanons because I love her.

• She is absolutely protective of her hair, like no one can touch it. And if you do — expect a punch to your face.

• She is a girls' girl fr. Like no one can disrespect a lady in front of her. You're trying to tell her she can't fight because she is injured? She'll UNO reverse it and say 'Why, is it because I'm a girl?"

She pulls this card so many times.

• Tsubaki absolutely adores her, like that's her daughter now. Thank you very much. I feel like they'll be closer than the original because of the fact Sakura might be a girl but she likes most of the things that boys do. Like Tsubaki whose a boy but likes the things girls like IABDJSBAM.

• Idk if Ume becomes an older brother to her or a somewhat father figure. (Definitely not doing this because of UmeTsuba cough yeah no cough)

• Class 1-1 loves their Grade Captain with all of their heart, even if she isn't used to it.

• She fights in a skirt (THAT'S BELOW KNEE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.) just to prove to people girls can infact fight in skirts and dresses. She petty like that fr.

• Bofurins' Princess. No one can convince me otherwise. Like this girl could be one of the most independent person to ever walked in Makochi (which she is because she a girlboss.) but Furin is over here giving her the princess treatment.

• I feel like she would get irritated at cheesy nicknames. Like please, don't call her cherry blossom just because she has Sakura in her name.

•SuoSaku. SuoSaku. You see the dynamic of SuoSaku? Yeah those two are slowwwwwwburn. Like one spark and it immediately dies, Nirei is tired of them LMFAO. I feel like he'll celebrate if those two held hands or something. Because the burning is SLOWWWWW.

• Endo should back the fuck up. Sakura bout to get a restraining order against him. Like that girl alone, or just leave Sakura alone tf.

• Kaji is a certified Sakura Protector. I mean all of Furin is soooo...

• Nirei is Sakura's son. Like that kid is hers. She gonna protect him with all of her life.

• The situation with Endo would probably be different. Can you imagine Togame's and Hiragi's rage? Like I can see them absolutely SEETHING.

Suo and Nirei as well. Like how dare he? Sakura finally feels like she is accepted and Endo was like, no.

Okay I'm done, I have to reopen my notes for this LMAO. I should probably do one for SuoSaku love story or some shit. But idk

[dawnbreakersgaze]

OK ok... weird suggestion but... what if Zayne likes the thought of PDA, but doesn't show it/do it because once he has his hands on you, he'll either, A.) Get really nervous in public and doesn't want to mess it up for you & himself and as a result of that have ppl judge him, or because of B.) Because he'll take it too far...? 👀

Like I think a lot about that line in Business Trip where after he meets MC at the train station and he's just looking at her, yknow, ogling her, eyeing her up & down, and MC is just like ?!?!?! Why isn't he doing anything?!?!?! But then when he gets home with MC, we all know he's like super touchy n shit and says that line, "What would you have liked me to do in front of all of those people, hmm?"

Like to me, that says he knows he would've LOVED to kiss MC or something, but if he did he probably would've lost control bent her over on the train platform LMAO

Like I know he loves his privacy with MC so he can do anything with her without the eyes of the public judging them, but like after that Tutorial card... it has me thinking he wouldn't mind taking her in public if he could... 👀 hehe

I cannot remember who it was that suggested this (maybe @wolfofcelestia ???) that narrative-wise we're slowly seeing Zayne get more and more comfortable (aka braver) with PDA as his relationship with mc goes on. Because if you compare the brief physical contact in Nostalgic Sweetness when she grabs his chin (and he gets all huffy and flustered with her and grabs her hand away) vs the Tutorial where he's literally scooping her into his arms for a full on make out only to have her push him back down and then he's like "Ah naw you dont" and pulls an Uno Reverse on her and slides between her legs and pins her to the table (where people could walk in)?!?!

Like I genuinely think this is character growth and it looks soooo good on our man. We gotta remember that she is his first relationship EVER so I think a lot of it is what you said with him just not really knowing. Yeah he's private and reserved but also he doesn't know what he's comfortable with because he hasn't experienced it yet. So it stands to reason some of that will change as his experiences do as well. Zayne has some pretty incredible levels of self-control when he chooses to use them (which he can be very bad about), so your idea could also play into it a bit as well. The longer he's with mc the more we see him slipping in terms of letting his guard down. He's becoming softer, more playful, rising to her bait on purpose. He's wilfully engaging in her childish antics far more often now and it's freaking adorable and opening him up to a lot more of these kinds of moments.

But that's just my 1 am opinions 😅

Month of Emmet Quick Write #14

Prompt #14: Game Night

Emmet doesn't play Uno with Ingo for a very good reason. And he gets to watch Iris learn that lesson the hard way. There's a certain reference here. This one's a shortie.

Read the whole thing below the cut.

“Draw a card, Emmet.” Iris grumbled as she shuffled around the brand new cards in her deck.

“No. It’s your turn now, Iris.” Emmet sat forward in his chair, three cards in his hands as he faced Ingo, Iris, and Skyla around a small wooden table in a game of Uno. It had been Ingo’s idea to pull out their beaten, well-used deck for their weekend meetup party. It had also been Ingo who had dealt the cards. Emmet fiddled with the top of his second card, a dumb smile plastered onto his face as he regarded his niece, playfully toying around with the spare draw four card in the center of his deck. It would be his turn after Iris dealt her card. “Play your next card.”

“What? So that you can use one of your dumb draw four cards? That you always conveniently manage to draw into your deck? No thanks.” Iris pulled out one card from her deck of five, studying it before placing it down on the messy pile in the center of the table. A reverse card. “I’ll take my chances. Ingo, it’s your turn.”

Ingo grinned, his eyes glittering with mischief. “You should’ve tried your luck with Emmet.” Ingo then placed down another reverse card. A green reverse card. “Your turn again, Iris.”

“How dare you!” Iris cursed under her breath as she pulled a card out of the deck. Iris then froze. She stared first at Ingo’s reverse card and then at her own deck. “Oh, come on now.” She reached toward the card bank again, scowling. “Of all the colors, why’d you pick green?” She drew yet another card, her eyes rounding with fury.

“What ever is the matter?” Ingo asked innocently.

“I don’t have a green card.” Iris drew another card. “Wha- really?” She drew another, her grimace deepening with every new reach toward the card bank. “What is this game?! Are you serious?! Give me a green card!”

“Perhaps- “ Ingo sneered, one hand cradling his cheek- “you shouldn’t have mentioned that you had no green cards two turns ago. A rather lackluster strategy to announce the contents of your deck of playing cards.”

Iris whipped her head up to glare at the man. “You planned this?” She then began drawing cards from the bottom of the deck, beating her fist angrily into the table when one draw turned into two turned into five. Finally, Iris submitted a green card to the table, shooting Ingo a glare. “Finally! Emmet, your turn.”

Wordlessly, Emmet shot Ingo a glance of solidarity before pulling out one of his own green cards: a reverse card. He watched, smirking as Iris internally combusted, scooting his chair away just in case.

“I don’t have a green card!” Iris shouted, garnishing the attention of Drayden and Elesa who had been talking amiably on the sofa, watching as the game unfolded. 

“Sounds like a ‘you’ problem,” Emmet simpered.

Again, Iris reached toward the deck and again, one draw became two draws became six. Soon, Iris had an entire fan of playing cards in her hands, her entire body shaking with barely contained wrath. “If not for Uncle Drayden being here, I would’ve slaughtered you both. I’m going to remember this.”

“You aren’t-” Ingo corrected her, smugly placing down the second of his last two cards- “because this game will be ending soon. Uno.” His second to last card was once again another reverse card. Another green card. 

Iris stood up from the table, white-knuckling the wood grain. “I’m calling for a sanctioned break.”

Emmet fanned himself with his two cards, grinning at Ingo instead. Ingo may have been the card broker but Emmet had been designated as the referee. “Break sanctioned.”

Almost immediately, Iris vaulted over the table, nearly managing to grab the hem of Ingo’s shirt as the man scrambled away from the table laughing.

hello! if it’s not a problem, can i ask for some headcanons of sting with a veeeryyy hot headed BF who’s also not a wizard? both sfw and nsfw if that’s okay :)

you’re very good at writing and i love how you portrait all the characters so well

Thank you!!!

Being a wizard and using magic is so normalized around Fiore and especially within Sabertooth that Sting's kind of surprised to meet a guy who doesn't have or use magic, let alone date one.

Hot-headed matches well with Sting, especially if they have that upbeat spark that he's got himself. You guys obviously started out arguing or competing against each other, maybe fighting, and you know how Sting loves to prove himself.

Granted, these traits do match up badly with the fact that Sting near-exclusively hangs out with wizards otherwise. Sting has just enough wherewithal to pull you back if you start trying to beef with Orga or Minerva or some shit, bc without the magic, u ain't Natsu and ain't gettin up if they clap you.

If you aren't a fan of wizards in general or don't keep up with wizard culture, then it ends up kind of refreshing for Sting. It probably tripped him up a bit at first, expecting you to know who he was, illustrious guildmaster of Sabertooth and all, and floored him to hear "who the fuck" back.

He's SO DISAPPOINTED AT FIRST like him boasting about killing dragons has never failed to earn a reaction but pretty soon he gets excited about showing you what being a wizard is like. It's even better if you uno reverse card him and drag him into whatever world you're coming from, be that non-magical guilds or just everyday life where people use electricity and shit.

You two probably met at a gay bar. Bonus points if you were the bartender. Double bonus points if you were the bouncer.

Since Sting is so eager to defend or just fight alongside his man, many fights you'd otherwise struggle with get one-shotted. Which probably irritated you after a while and he was asked to back off. He sulked about it for a week.

Unless you are yourself a high earner by some fashion, odds are Sting is richer than you by a good margin. He is a pretty capable wizard who regularly goes on difficult and high-paying missions, so the good news about that is you get treated often. Anything you want, you get without a second thought, you're pretty spoiled.

Rogue vanishes the second you appear, not because he doesn't like you, but because your energy and Sting's energy put together makes him need a nap very badly.

Sting does his best to hype you up the way he would any boyfriend, and he's good at it, only he sometimes lets people think you're a wizard for the fun of it. He's had a lot of fun lying to people about what kind of magic you use and how it can make people's heads explode or other outlandish tales.

NS/FW:

There are two possible outcomes here: One, you put your money where your mouth is and get Sting in Slut Mode pretty easily with that surefire aggro attitude of yours...or Sting discovers your bark is worse than your bite and you get a free domming out of your man.

The 69ing. Good looooooord the 69ing. Y'all be makin' each other dizzy.

Sting's filter is only half what yours will be. If you talk about sex lightly, then he's gonna be ready to brag to everyone around him how good you are in bed. If he's not too hoarse to speak.

So many nudes. You get new snaps daily, always after some attention, because you know he loves that attention.

Sting hates getting dressed after the fact so be prepared to see him walk around in the buff once he's got his breath back.

[sakuraharuno156]

wait are u also an ino stan too!?

Obviously! ��️

1) Ino is amazing! She's an absolute sweetheart!

2) I'm a Sakura stan, to not stan Ino I'd need to be delusional or a hypocrite lol

They have similar personalities (Sakura is just a bit softer spoken, while Ino is a bit softer in behavior), they play very well of each other and I love me some girl power!

Ino is everything I love in a character:

1. She is SO DAMN SMART.

The fact that Shikaramru is a strategist of the group is such a waste.

12 yo Ino pulled one of the biggest Uno reverse cards in manga, and people forget about it because they disregard Sakura vs Ino fight, which is a BIG MISTAKE.

Ino was aware that Sakura knew her technique well, and she still played Sakura like a toy. She pretended to have a full-on mental breakdown to make everyone believe the fight was over and that she had "lost it"

Just to fulfill a genius strategy she made up on the spot???

She was 12, and she fooled EVERYONE (including Shikamaru, who has the highest IQ and should see right through it).

That was and forever will be ✨️ Iconic ✨️.

Even during the written exam, she had one of the best ways of cheating (only Shinos and Sakuras (because she didn't cheat at all lol) were better):

What looks more suspicious:

Mirrors on the f-ing selling,

Random red eyes that just "appeared" on a guy,

Barking dog,

Big white eyes with hundreds of veins that just appeared out of nowhere,

A guy covering his one eye and A FLOATING EYE IN THE AIR,

Or a girl laying on the desk 🤷‍♀️

I know she had a predisposition to it because she's a Yamanaka, but still, what a great way to do it!

2. She is a menace when it comes to her jutsus.

I already touched on her technique during the war arc

BUT SHE TOOK CONTROL OF GOD DAMN OBITO???

And saved the shinobi alliance, like it's not a "big deal"?! A menace.

3. Not to mention her mentality, that makes her the IT GIRL.

- Can you do it?

- Doesn't matter! I'm gonna do it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ino is amazing, and I hate when people disregard her. Is she as strong as Sakura or as smart as Shikamaru? No, but she is still incredible and a force to be reckoned with.

She is definitely one of the most incredible and one of the strongest (in her own right) femal characters.

She wouldn't win with Sakura or Temari in one on one, but she would smash both Hinata or TenTen and be a big trouble for the rest of Kunoichi.

(Also, that girl is so damn pretty, I can't ✨️)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As another side note, I love most of the kunoichi. Naruto's female cast is very strong!

Sakura, Temari, and Ino are my personal favorites, but:

Tsunade is also absolutely incredible.

Mei is not in my top 10, but I'm all for strong female characters, so I like her too.

Konan is not my favorite - her personality is meh for me, but I can admit she is well written and crazy strong.

TenTen is not in manga enough, for me to have many feelings about her but... TenTen with Bashōsen??? Queen ✨️

Chiyo had a great character arc.

Anko, Hanabi, and Shizune are awesome for me too - their introductions always get me SHOCKED, and I love it for them.

Kushina and Kurenai are a bit reduced to "I love my man/family" so I'm not as interested in them as individual characters, but I like them well enough.

I respect Karin, Tayuya, and Karui for being honest. I hate a hypocrite, so them being so unapologetic in their behavior makes me at least respect them. I like Karin's character development, and I love me a smart and strong woman so 🤷‍♀️

From the new generation:

Sarada is fire. How can you not love her? She's a girl boss (so far) as well, also a child of Sakura and Sasuke??? GIMME MORE.

ChoCho is a fun character with an interesting idea, I hope she gets more development!

I just hate that one boring and rude character. One that makes my blood boil and my feministic heart bleed with RAGE, but that's not the focus of that post, so 🤷‍♀️. Oh, and I dislike Himawari for what she did to Naruto on the day he became Hokage. The most important day in his life and it all went to sh*t because of a brat (and not in the Charlie XCX way, in an annoying and disgusting way).

The end ✨️

Scott's Season 2 Master Plan

In Teen Wolf season two, Scott McCall has a problem. Gerard Argent, his girlfriend’s evil grandfather, is threatening Scott to force him to help Gerard get the Bite to cure his cancer. Scott solves this problem by pretending to comply while switching out Gerard’s medication with mountain ash to ensure Bite rejection. The plan and who Scott chooses to involve (or not) in it say some interesting things about Scott’s character and his relationships.

Of course, Gerard doesn’t just explain what he’s after. Scott has to figure out the truth from disparate clues like Erica’s motivation for receiving the Bite and Gerard’s cancer smell and behavior. Once he’s figured out what Gerard’s game is, he comes up with a plan which pulls together things he’s learned about Bite rejection, mountain ash, and disguising murder to look like a medical emergency. It’s a smart plan. The show has spent a lot of time harping on Scott’s academic struggles, but this shows his how clever he actually is as well as his attention to detail in terms of replicating Gerard’s pills and pill case. Scott may not be book smart or good at figuring things out on the fly like Stiles, but give him the space to think and he shines.

It’s also a very passive aggressive plan, which is fairly typical of Scott. He rarely liked to confront his problems head on when he can come at them from the side or get a third party to deal with it (kind of like Gerard). Here he plays possum, plays Gerard and Derek off each other, and uses a tool which could not have been traced back to him if he needed plausible deniability for his involvement. Scott shows both Gerard and Derek exactly what they want/expect to get them where he needs them and shows nerves of steel in the pill handoff and waiting out the clock for them to take effect even as Gerard keeps the pressure on.

The plan displays Scott’s sense of poetic justice. Gerard wants the Bite? Well, Scott’s going to ensure that he gets it in the worst possible way. Derek won’t stop biting people even after Scott tells him not to? Well, Scott’s going to ensure he bites Gerard wether he wants to or not. We haven’t seen this from Scott before, but we will absolutely see it again in season 5 when he uses Deucalion as a sort of reverse uno card to destroy Theo’s pack from the inside the way Theo tried to do to him. 

It’s unclear, exactly, what Scott hoped to do aside from making sure Gerard didn’t become werewolf. He has repeated conversations about how Bite rejection kills, so he had to know Gerard’s death was at least a possibility. In canon, Gerard manages to alienate his entire family at the last second, but had things played out with slightly fewer witnesses, Derek would have been the one taking the fall for all of it. Scott would have kept his hands clean while allowing Gerard and Derek to destroy themselves/each other. I wish we’d gotten to see Scott’s reaction in season 3 to learning Gerard was still alive. Allison was shocked, scared, and angry. Scott being shocked (or even relieved) would be a hint that he planned/expected Gerard to die, but sadly the show skips right past a reveal in favor of evil grandpa story hour.

After seeing Gerard kill the omega in 2.01, Scott is understandably scared of him, but he consistently underestimates him. Gerard’s true threat lies not in his ability to personally cause harm, but his ability to inspire, manipulate, and lead others to do so (he’s a dark reflection of Scott in that way). Scott gets one over Gerard by preventing him from becoming a werewolf, but it is ultimately a hollow victory. It doesn’t break Gerard’s hold over the kamina or prevent Gerard from raising/funding a hunter army in season 6. In fact, it took Scott in Gerard’s eyes from a scared kid to be manipulated to an arch nemesis to be to be destroyed. 

Derek is an essential component of Scott’s plan, but he doesn’t get to be in on it. This makes sense given that their history largely consists of Derek threatening Scott and his friends and screwing Scott out of his hope of a cure after promising to help. Derek has repeatedly saved Scott’s life, but he can’t be trusted to do what Scott wants. He seems visibly hurt by Scott’s “not my Alpha” speech. He’s willing to help Scott with his tattoo in 3.01, but he clearly has no interest in involving Scott in his troubles with the Alpha Pack until Scott forces the issue.

The only person we know is entrusted with the plan is Deaton, as evidenced by the pill-making flashback. Deaton is Scott’s long-time professional mentor who has kept so many secrets, but is helpful when asked. As a werewolf, Scott can’t wield mountain ash. The will behind the pills’ magic is Deaton’s and he hates Gerard. He also believes that Scott has the capacity to be a True Alpha, but that blood on his hands will negate that. This plan allows Deaton to take out a guy he considers a murderer (or at least prevent him from becoming a werewolf) without getting Scott’s hands dirty. Whose idea was it to use the mountain ash this way? Would Scott even have known it could be used this way without Deaton’s guidance considering it’s a pretty far cry from how it was used at the rave?

It is unclear how much, if anything, Stiles knows about the plan. In season 1, any time Scott was hurt or threatened, it was followed by a conversation were he and Stiles discuss it. We don’t get any scenes like that in season 2 after Gerard declares war and threatens Scott (or after Victoria tries to kill him). The boys don’t really talk to each other after what happens at the Sheriff’s station, and it’s unclear whose idea that is. When Stiles expresses anxiety about how things are going to go down, Scott doesn’t remind him of the plan or even assure him that there is one. Stiles comes back from his beating at Gerard’s hands and doesn’t respond to any of Scott’s 17 missed messages and entirely misses Scott’s big reveal. Obviously, he learns about what happened later, but all signs point to a distinct lack of communication between the friends about what’s going on. What’s less clear is why. Does Scott no longer fully trust Stiles? Is he trying to protect him somehow by keeping him in the dark?

Scott also isn’t communicating with Allison. The difficulties of hiding their relationship from her parents absolutely plays a part, but he cuts her out of the channels of communication they do have. She repeatedly asks if there’s something going on with Gerard and Scott repeatedly says no. She checks her window for messages multiple times after the rave and gets nothing. The price of knowledge is responsibility and Scott is trying the shoulder that burden alone, but knowledge is power and in doing so he denies her the ability to make informed decisions about her relationship with her family. Gerard offers Allison up as a prize at the lacrosse game and then taunts Derek that Scott is doing his bidding all for Allison. That’s not what’s really happening, but I wonder how Scott’s lack of denial plays into Allison’s decision to break up with him.

Isaac doesn’t know the plan, but after Scott told him to be careful at the rave, he doesn’t care. He’s ready to back Scott up because he always tries to do the right thing and the fact that it works just makes him trust Scott even more. 

Gerard threatens Melissa as soon as he realizes Scott is a werewolf, but Melissa does’t even know she’s in danger until he’s choking her with the kamina’s prehensile tail. Scott and Melissa’s relationship has grown increasingly strained over the course of the series, but Scott’s reluctance to trust her with the truth of what’s happening to him might be a sign of how their relationship was already strained. Melissa freaks out and refuses to really speak with her son after learning he’s a “monster.” Her begging Scott to protect her and then showing up for him at the game and with Jackson is the first step of them repairing their relationship, but the dynamics are permanently and knowingly reversed. While Scott has been trying to protect his mom without her knowing since Peter tried to date her in season 1, now Melissa knows about the danger and fully expects Scott to deal with it. 

In the end, Scott is forced to reveal his plan after Gerard starts screaming about mountain ash. The tactics he used (playing possum, secret-keeping, manipulation, and using third parties to do the dirty work) are all tricks Gerard also likes to use. The difference is that Scott is trying to do what he thinks is right to protect others, while Gerard is strictly out to help himself. Scott damaged relationships with his actions and in 3.01, he declares his intent to be a better son and a better friend. When he faces Gerard again in season 6, he does so as someone who communicates openly with his allies and draws on his community rather than attempting to work around them.

Comment on AO3

[bciphergrl]

Ello everyone! The creator of "Top Hat On The Stage" has been leaving some hints that Newton is gonna kill someone at some point within the comment section of @max-the-silly-guy 's post and the tags of a repost of his doodle response to the foreshadowing that she left.

But the true question is who and why? Well, for today's "Top Hat On The Stage" theory, it's gonna be revealed in this post! Newton will end a life of Chip Rotwood Jr by bashing his head, due to him trying to kill him first.

Now, I know that it sounds off to say that. Some of you may say "But that guy is son of the mafia boss. Newton doesn't stand a chance against him." That's not true. He's actually the third most powerful person in the au) considering the very fact that he has a remnant of the purple titan), while Jr is weaker by 4 people down.

The blood on Newton's face in the doodle dump is a different color from what we saw when Felicia got shot. Since Jr's head is a slot machine, his blood is more likely to be black than red.

There are times where if Newton gets irritated or angered enough, his eyes will be partially purple. HOWEVER, there's a doodle where it's completely purple.

I do recall seeing that happen at one point issue 17.

Perhaps this will only happen if he believes that his life is in danger, which will probably allow him to use the purple titan's powers that he wasn't even aware about. He'll mostly act upon killing Jr without thinking rationally cause he tried kill him first. There's a clear blood splat on his face, which is why I can believe he bashed his head. It's unknown what he exactly used to do it. But this doesn't mean he won't be traumatized by the event, since he didn't mean to murder him.

I also like to point out a couple of things, before I conclude this theory. Newton's wearing a different outfit from his usual one. It seems like at some point he'll be forced to work for the Chip, until the inevitable death of his son. Perhaps he might be used for more than just being held for ransom.

Jr has skulls on his slot machine face. This could foreshadow that he's gonna die in issue 49. It could also easily just be part of his design. But I still think it's the former.

So, for my conclusion, Jr will try to kill Newton for him to have a uno reverse card pulled on him instead by having his head smashed. Poor Newton won't ever forget what he did. This is not gonna be easy for Marlon to undo damage already done.

But that's just a theory! A Top Hat On The Stage theory! Thanks for reading! Have a good day or night!

Brozone diner au: the day John Dory took off part two

"We're talking about forcing John Dory to take a day off. Like an actual day off. Even when we're closed on the mandatory holidays, he's still here doing something. Cleaning, stocking, rearranging, all kinds of stuff. He needs at least a day to just relax and probably catch up on sleep.” Bruce answered, waving his hands about as he talked. "Ah, ok. Yeah that's gonna be hard. We need to come up with a plan before we do anything else. We need to think of every possible outcome and prepare for it." Branch said, already writing down outcomes. “Or, or, hear me out, we play the health card." Floyd said, a mischievous glint in his eyes. The rest of them gave him a confused look, unsure of what he meant. “We play the health card, the card he plays with me when he thinks I'm ‘working too much’. He says I need to take time for my health and take care of my body. Pull a uno reverse on him. He needs to do the same so when he tries to wiggle his way out of it, we can point out all the things that are causing him stress, anxiety, high blood pressure or anything else. Like working a dinner rush causes high anxiety and stress. Constantly lifting trays full of dishes can cause carpul tunnel. Not to mention the toll it takes on one's mental health. I very rarely get angry customers, he seems to get them all the time, which causes more stress. We just say we're worried about his health, he can't refuse because then he'll be brushing off our worries and he doesn't want to do that. Boom, full proof plan.” Floyd said confidently, crossing his arms. "That's so smart, I'm surprised I didn't think of it first.” Clay said, staring at Floyd, a bit dumbfounded. Floyd was about to stand up and argue with Clay about what that was supposed to mean when Bruce held up his hands.  “Ok but when should we do this? We can't just go out there without an idea of when would be a good time to do this." Bruce said, thinking aloud. "Sunday. Probably in the evening. That way he can't argue about taking Monday off. It's our slowest day. So he won't have to worry about us being busy and can actually relax." Branch said, the plan coming together. The brothers quickly went back to work to avoid alerting John Dory to their plan, playing it off as if they were killing time. 

Sunday evening comes and all of them are beat, it was the busiest day they had had in a while, making several thousand dollars worth of sales. After closing up, the younger brothers give each other a nod, silently saying it's time to put their plan into action. They went to the office, standing in the doorway as John counted their registers and safe with Clay (Clay just double checking JD's work). "How you doing John Dory?" Floyd asked nonchalantly. “Good." John replied before continuing to count. “You sure? You seemed a bit tired today. Like you needed a break." Bruce said, leaning his back on the door frame casually. “Yeah I'm fine. I guess I didn't get very much sleep last night." John Dory said before handing a stack of cash for Clay to count. Clay barely looked up, they added more details to the plan, like who was gonna say what and in what order. John wrote down the numbers and entered them into the system, a few seconds of silence passed before Branch butted with his own line. “Do you ever get enough sleep? Always seems like you're here late and open early. When do you sleep?” Branch joked, shooting John a cheeky grin that was met with a stern look. "Well I sleep after I clock out and close up. Then I wake up to come open this place up. Some nights it's takes longer to close up. Like today, that was the busiest we've been in like, a month.” John said, taking all the money from Clay and putting it in the safe.  "Maybe you should take tomorrow off then.” Branch said sincerely, subtly giving JD the puppy dog eyes. They could see the hesitation in John's face, that was Floyd's signal to go in for the kill. “He's right. It's not healthy to overwork yourself. We worry about you sometimes. It's only because we care about you and your health. When was the last time you had a day off?" Floyd's voice was sweet and gentle, asking a question they all knew the answer to: never. John Dory looked like a deer in headlights, unsure of how to respond. “When was the last time you had a day off John?" Clay questioned, knowing where this line of questioning should go. John Dory got very quiet and tried to avoid eye contact with his brothers. “When was it?" Bruce said directly. John mumbled out an answer, prompting a ‘hmm?’ out of Bruce. “I don't remember." John said quietly but it sounded deafening in the silent office. “WHAT?!?" the younger three said, being a little overdramatic. “John, working non stop is not healthy. You're gonna get burnt out. You should really take a day off at least. You make me worried, man.” Clay said worriedly, causing John to cringe a little. "Clay's right, John. We worry about your health sometimes. You should take the day off, if not for yourself, for us at least.” Floyd said gently, coming over and placing his hand on John's shoulder. They had him right where they wanted him. The office got quiet again, the seconds passing felt like hours. They continued to look at John expectantly until he finally caved. Alright, fine. I'll take tomorrow off. But you guys call me if you need me. And Clay, you're opening, Branch you're closing.” John Dory said defeatedly, Branch and Clay groaning in annoyance. They knew they couldn't openly cheer for their success but opted for teasing their brother about what he was going to do on his day off. As John locked the door, Bruce cleared his throat, catching John's attention. “Oh and John?" “Yeah?" John said as he put his keys back in his pocket.  “Stay out of the diner tomorrow. A day off is not meant to be spent at your place of work." Bruce responded in a no nonsense kind of tone. John Dory rolled his eyes, pissed off a little that his baby brothers were trying to tell him what to do. “We're serious John Dory. You don't see us in there on our days off. And the only time we are is when we're with friends. So just take a day away from the diner. I promise we'll call you if we need you.” Floyd said, placing his hands on John's shoulders, letting him know how serious he was. The others looked at John with the same serious look, he inwardly groaned annoyed with his baby bros.

[papabearbobbynash]

Hi there papabearbobbynash, love the name btw 😄 I've been lurking around tumblr and instagram trying to look for good news in the finale and I can't take it anymore so hii.. what do you think will happen to bobby? Is there any news about peter or angela leaving the show? I feel like peter and angela have become a package deal because their story is joined together. It wouldn't work if one of them is leaving without the other. So I worry that what if the cliffhanger is Athena's life is in danger because she was looking for an answer and something happens to her and both peter and angela are leaving the show. 😭😭 but would abc really bought 911 from fox without its 2 biggest stars?

Hi anon,

Hi thank you the name is just stating a fact, Bobby is papa bear, although i could do without the p*** blogs messaging me ashgdfh </3

Now answering your questions.

In my opinion i believe both will survive, ofc the promo has been done really well, because even if you expect them to not kill the character, you're left with the feeling "wouldn't they, right?" I mean, it really had me having second thoughts about Bobby for a second, more like "trust issues" with the way they build up the entire arc and the promos (they've been playing with us).

But i'm holding myself on the thought that it wouldn't make sense for ABC to buy the show and then write out two of their leads, because yes this is a ensemble show, but there are clearly the leads (Angela, PK and Jennifer), and ABC seems to be trying to make sure the new audience knows that (the heaviest storylines this season surrounded them). Plus why change a winning formula? The show is doing very good rn, so it doesn't make sense for them to try change, unless this is a decision of the actors, but even if PK or AB decided to leave the show, they are co-producers, so surely they would be here and there from times to times. So far there is no news of Angela and PK leaving.

Now, talking a bit about Bobby, I believe he will survive, and won't step back or retire. Yes he probably will be on desk dury for a couple of episodes, but not permantetly. I'm really sure about that because I feel like a decision he took in a moment of crisis, when he was feeling unworthy of living, wouldn't be taken by the writers as a valid narrative for him. It doesn't make sense for his journey to have him step back and retire when that was something he only decided because he was spiraling.

About Athena, lord i'm so uncertain. I doubt they will kill her, but the writers are surely making bathena go through it this season and I don't doubt they could pull out some uno reverse card next season and we get a parallel with Bobby sitting in her bedside or something.

I'm really excited for the episode, and very happy tomorrow is a holiday here so i don't need to go work and can go full spiral the whole day aksjdhfghj

[beauleifu]

Hiiii, not sure if requested are open. If not, I do apologize. But I just read your fix about Syntax just flirting with the read but I have a request. Let's turn things around and have reader flirt with Syntax that it makes him flustered and a blushing mess hihihihihi. Thank you in advance!

-🫐

AAAA okay i'm sorry for answering this one before all the other ones that have been festering in my askbox for months BUT I HAD AN IDEA and when i have one i need to write it down

it's gonna be short! But short 'n sweet is sometimes the best way to go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SYNTAX X FLIRTY!READER

Lego Monkie Kid

Context: Time to pull out the trusty uno reverse card and give Syntax a taste of his own medicine. Little did you know how well your tactics would work and suddenly, you feel like flirting with him more often.

TW: Slightly suggestive, lotsa flirting

‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹

Holy shit, you're bored.

It's a fate resigned to those who don't feel productive enough to do something, yet desire nothing but an activity to pleasure their soul.

And at that precise moment, the universe favors you.

"Evening, (Y/N)," someone murmurs, strolling into the living room. They eye your figure draped lazily over the couch, eyebrow raising. "You know that will only damage your spine in the long run."

Lifting your head, you watch Syntax walk past you and into the kitchen. "I've got nothing to do."

"Oh, I'm so scared," Syntax drawls, disinterested.

The tone in his voice has strange thoughts entering your mind, which is already blank so it can do nothing except embrace them. With a furrowed brow and a slight frown, you shift around so your knees support your frame, elbows crooked on the head of the couch. Resting your chin atom your arms, you observe your roommate very carefully.

"Yeah, I guess you should be, huh."

Green eyes flick to your face, gauging the situation far too fast for comfort. But you're in a different mood, now.

"Excuse me?"

You tilt your head to one side, voice honeyed and innocent. "I never thought about it, but imagining you scared sounds pretty good right about now."

"Strange for someone usually so docile," Syntax fires back, grabbing a cup for water. "What brought this on?"

You slide off the couch, noticing how the spider demon's eyes follow your every movement like a hawk, his attention utterly captured by your presence. With a cocky smile, you saunter over to him, arms folded behind your back.

"I wonder . . . would you shake?" You hum, eyes sparkling with something new. Something flirtatious. "Would you beg for mercy?"

The object of your attention is suddenly very quiet.

Wide eyes stare into your soul, unsure of what to do. Poor thing, you'll have to guide him through the motions. Now that you're close enough, it's easy.

"Maybe you'd rather not beg for your life. Maybe you'd rather beg for attention," you murmur.

Syntax visibly swallows. "(Y/N)-"

Oh, how quickly the mood has changed. A new plan develops in your mind, and you slowly tap his clavicle a few times. "Don't be scared. It doesn't suit you, I think. You look pretty when you blush, though."

There it is.

A fiery red hue spreads across Syntax's cheeks, and all of the sudden he's rendered mute. He's afraid of what he might say.

So instead, he presses his mouth into a thin line.

Waiting.

You lean very close to his ear. "Couch. Please."

He inhales sharply, softly. Of course he would melt if you asked nicely, in the way that you did. There's always a way around his cocky stubbornness. It's just a nice reminder of how well you know him.

In no time at all, Syntax is sat on the couch.

Looking very, very nervous.

"Your morning tea wasn't spiked, was it?" He quickly asks, head tilted up to better see you standing above him.

"No, don't worry." With this reassurance, you settle yourself in his lap, straddling his hips and placing your hands on his chest in a gentle reminder that you're here and sober, and that he can back out anytime he wants to.

But . . . just to make sure.

"I'm going to kiss you, okay?" You murmur, half-lidded eyes trailing over his features, a crimson shade of excitement and embarrassment. "You all right with that?"

Oh, jeez.

It seems like asking for consent is just making him blush harder.

Looking four feet above your head, Syntax nods stiffly, expression unreadable.

You frown. "Gimme a safe word."

A small pause, as Syntax focuses on your question so as to relax his muscles a bit. You can feel them underneath you, and when he seems completely sure that you know what you're doing, that you'll listen to him and tune into his reactions, he exhales slowly.

"Traffic light?" You offer, smiling a bit. "Red means stop."

The spider demon finally, finally locks eyes with you. They're softer now, those green shades of intellect and adoration.

You know this is new for him.

This is scary and it's strange and yet at the same time, you both know he craves it. He needs it.

So when the Syntax gives a small, sincere nod of approval, you can't help but cup his face and grin like an absolute idiot. "There we go. Knew you couldn't deny me for long, you big softie."

"Don't-" He grunts, albeit smiling, face burning.

You quiet him with a soft peck to his forehead, still smiling. Absently tracing his cheek with the pad of your thumb, you trail down his features, kissing the bridge of his nose to the tip, down to his slightly scruffy chin. Then, you gently press your lips to his closed eyes, murmuring half to yourself.

"I always wondered why you were so scared to be touched."

Raising your fingers to sift through his lime-green locks, you tilt your head and frown sadly. "I wish I'd met you sooner . . . so you could feel this way more often."

"Don't be," Syntax says quietly, eyes still closed.

Smiling, you capture his lips in yours for a moment, leaning back only to touch your forehead to his. "Too fucking bad, sweetheart."

"Oh my stars, don't call me that."

"I think it's cute. My sweetheart, my darling dear, love of my life, babygirl-"

Syntax's eyes snap open, fierce and unforgiving. "Anything but that."

"What. Babygirl?" You question, finding your answer in the scathing look he gives you. With a soft laugh, you trail your hands down to his chest, curiously feeling the rhythmic rise and fall of his breathing pattern. His heartbeat spikes when you do so, but eventually calms to a slow and steady thrum.

Sighing, you look up to meet his gaze. "I'm surprised you haven't said 'red' yet."

"I . . ." He seems to be struggling for the right words.

You smirk. "You like it?"

"You're impossible," Syntax huffs, exhaling sharply through his nose. But when his eyes open again, they're full of fondness.

Slowly, you lower yourself so your head rests against his chest, ear pressed to his clavicle. You feel arms drape over your back, pulling you closer, craving the proximity, craving the domesticity and affection. You can't help a sad, warm little smile as you trace patterns in the fabric of Syntax's shirt. You feel him doing the same to your back, tracing the curvature of your spine curiously.

"For someone who hasn't experienced a hug in years, you're really good at it," you hum, congratulating yourself on getting this far. It's progress.

Funny how flirting with him got you here.

"You're good practice," Syntax murmurs, perhaps thoughtfully.

Allowing your eyes to close, you sigh. "Thanks. We can do this whenever you want. I'm open to trying new positions-"

"Do not-" Syntax says sharply, squeezing you in warning.

You return the gesture with your thighs.

"Not yet."

[tmwcs]

Oh! You were in fact right about a couple of them😇 lemme list

-You’re selfish.

-You seek attention

-You’re probably lazy.

The rest? Well… Rude of you to assume all that.

„I type in different languages and I fail to see your logic behind typing on a phone versus on paper. There’s literally no difference. Work on your thesis and get back to me.”

A phone is an electronic device, that is, well, not used often as a tool to communicate with officials/important people. of course if i was talking to my prof. i would pay attention to my grammar and spelling as i see it as something important. typing fast on a phone, not giving enough fucks to correct the things i write since “tumblr” is not as important. neither are instagram, tiktok, linkedin or facebook. i dont know?? is it that hard to accept that people dont give any shits about their grammar and spelling if kts not going to be official/..? We live in times where everyone has new, unique ways to express themselfs (yes😯 the way they type can also be a signifixant factor to their character!) (shocking right??) literally the grammar and spelling shit u pulled is annoying me so much. how can someone be as thick not to understand the easiest thing. now dont pull the uno reverse on me. i know what i did was stupid but im not going to stop it until u get the grammar and spelling point into your head.

„You play the victim card.”

Well, I’m sorry? You literally do the same.. It’s the way your brain tries to defend yourself! (just a fun fact)

„You (and I mean solely you based off our interaction) use emojis as a method of expression because you’re too emotionally imbalanced. You’re also conscientious because you’re not taken very seriously (as much as I would like to pity you, if you’re anything irl like the way you are on tumblr, it’s kind of self inflicted at this point.)”

I use emojis as a filler, as they end the sentence perfectly, not boring. Also called sense of creativity and ability to understand and recognise as u try to match some pictured expressions to the sentence. thats why i love the ability to wrjte on a phone. some people arent able to do so (ex.: people diagnosed with autism spectrum). I’m way different in real life, except it’s the anonymous rounds in the clinics i have to do internships at. everyone should be honest there and say what they think, no matter how bad or ridiculous it sounds. we seek for solutions everyone can agree with. both sides work on it, not only one.

tried to pay attention to the way i type just a little bit. everything for you to feel better my love😯🫶

Rude of me to assume? Just like it was rude of you to assume when throwing all of your childish insults, right?

I know I’m right about everything. I trust my instincts on this. But I’m glad that you’re taking my words to heart. I still didn’t read this novel you sent me. I just don’t have time to read all the drawn out antics about whatever it is that’s in that little brain of yours (but I’m glad to see you read all of mine 😉)

It is also good to see that you made some improvement. It is a start. Keep working on the rest. Little by little we can take care of your bad traits and maybe mold you into a decent citizen of society. 😙
