#but to a child he’s the sweetest most kindest person ever

Regulus would be so good with kids and we don’t talk about this enough

[katyspersonal]

The MAIN cast of Elden CRING, a HIT game by FromSLOP ✨

Mommyrika - The sweetest, the nicest, the kindest, the loveliest and the most beautiful person in the entire Lands Between, no, in the entire universe that The Greater Whim created! :3 All she wants is for everyone to be happy and have a nice tea party! Everyone is so mean to her for no reason smh when she is just trying to be a good mother! >_< You can't even TELL that she is a mother because she is so petite and innocent and child-like! Despite her horrible trauma she didn't let it break her from being such a perfect ray of sunshine for everyone!

Chadagohn - Some absolute jerk that Greater Whim personally shoved into Marika's being out of pure spite, who doesn't know how to do anything but being oppressive and ruining everything! He lives just to randomly decide to start wars lmao no matter how much Mommyrika tried to fix him. He did literally every bad thing during the time Golden Order existed and Mommyrika was not able to do anything against him because of his super powerful gigachad aura clashing with her kind and soft one, however, she heroically tried to take the blame for his actions upon herself! Shame that some misogynists won't see through the charade, some of ya'll are weirdly obsessed with "giving female character agency" as long as it is about something bad 😭

Miq Griffin - I don't actually know if I got his last name right I just remember it started with 'griff-' lmao but he is just some evil manipulator that also likes to randomly reverse-groom already vulnerable people because he is eeeevil :3 Miq Griffin even has been pretending to care about his family and those who Chadagohn oppressed all to create a cult of crazy simps that will praise his name! He is ABSOLUTELY a child of his father Chadagohn but how the FUCK someone as pure as Mommyrika produced this manipulative monster? Well, it is because Chadagohn was not letting Mommyrika raise Miq Griffin at all by keeping her away with his gigachad aura.

Hellbent (race) - A race so evil and unhinged that as soon as even their infants are born their first words are "DEATH FOR INNOCENT", and only then "mom" or "dad". They are named this because they're so hellbent on spreading EVIL just because they can for no apparent reason like trap of corrupt religious cult or lagging behind culturally that nothing could cure them but Total Hellbent Death. They are literally SO evil that Fail God himself had enough of them and tried to obliterate them but got distracted to curse Mommyrika instead because her good vibes piss people off. But then Hellbent didn't think she had enough and cursed people that lived under her reign with OWEN Curse that makes your body sprout CROISSANTS and also spew some FIRE like if you were an owen. Just because they could do it and because they're EVIL and everything KIND and bright (like Mommyrika) makes them angry.

Mommy Boyssmer - The Mommyrika's most special mommy's boy that she loved more than her other children because he was the most disabled! He heroically took it upon himself to rid the world of Hellbent's evil just so nobody would dare to think Mommyrika is capable of negative emotions but somehow weird Hellbent's sympathisers still assigned the holy mission of Croissant-sade to her name because they're misogynists 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ He is such a softie you can tell Mommyrika's kindness rubbed off on him, but people want him dead not because of his actions but because he is a snek! Well Weirdtree does have a bias against sneks but it was Chadagohn's fault it exists. What a shame. Hopefully someday Hellbent will be dead so he can reunite with the only person that ever cared for him :3 Well he is also engaged with Irrel-levana, but Irrel-levana is actually just a brainless puppy-eyed Mommyrika's simp with no agency or ideology that only wants to marry him for Mommyrika's peace and happiness!

Mor-Goat and Momg - Two Owens and just other victims of the curse of Hellbent, as well as Chadagohn and Miq Griffin respectively. Well yeah you think they did something bad, like hunting Vargramnished for sport or kidnapping them (and some others) to indoctrinate them into evil blood cult? Wake up, all of this is just because Chadagohn demanded oppressing Owens and Mommyrika could do nothing to protect her own children from his gigachad wishes, and then Miq Griffin brainwashed Momg too into doing all this for a good measure! They're otherwise very sweet and chill and soft people who really just want a hug! Actually this whole time they wanted to hug Vargramnished they've met but Chadagohn's orders + Miq Griffin's charms respectively didn't let them and twisted their love into something eeeeeevil!

Libe-ranni or Ranni the Bitch - An enigmatic figure whose motivations remain unclear because of FromSLOP's shitty writing where they can't even explain their own characters normally :/ Because of this, some believe she is a hero who eliminated some nasty people to overthrow Chadagohn's and Greater Whim's awful plans to make everyone suffer for some reason, when others are just seething at the girlboss winning and believe she is an evil manipulator and schemer who just hated everything good. Some say she killed Forgotwyn because he was actually cringe and eeeeevil under guise of radiant kind boy, as evidenced by someone as evil as Miq Griffin admiring him, other say that Forgotwyn offered himself as willing sacrifice but FORGOT that a bunch of other Demigods would be killed too lmao rofl. Well Elden Cring is not a place for morally grey, complicated or machiavellian characters anyway smh so pick your camp (but also if you pick wrong you are a media illiterate looser :3).

Forgotwyn - A character that FromSLOP fucking abandoned after having built up soooooOOOOO much shit for him to be important!!!! We got literally NOTHING about Forgotwyn in the base game, are you fucking kidding me?! All they did with him was to just add a questline and whole ending focused on him, elaborated him in the story of Miq Griffin and Melanea with a plan to revive him and conclusion of Miq Griffin giving up and just wishing him true death and made him the reason for a whole political allyship and school of magic in the setting! Why do they hate this character so much and refuse to elaborate on him?! Fromslop has tremendous disrespect for its fans smh

Godfreak - Really the most pathetic character who only exists as the laughing stock despite what some weirdos that can't read subtexts will cope with LMAOOOO 😭😭😭 He even hunts Vargramnished just like Mor-Goat but at least Mor-Goat had an excuse upon being oppressed by Chadagohn's Order, what is Godfreak's excuse huh? He can't accomplish anything and isn't worth anything and he is ugly and also stinks and also the worst lover ever flowers wilt when he enters the room milk goes bad when he enters the room people on the portraits become animated just to turn away from him when he enters the room mirrors shatter just to not reflect his ugly ass face all while he is also so pathetic that he literally can ONLY steal shit! He stole his Great Rune shard, he stole the castle he is in, he even stole his family name and he is not ACTUALLY a part of the Golden Lineage because how can someone so UGLY and PATHETIC descend from Mommyrika? Clearly he is not a Demigod but just lying to everyone to be worth anything at all because he is worth nothing HAHAHA LOOK GUYS HE IS SO SHIT HAHAHA POINT AND LAUGH AT HIM GUYS HE IS SOOOO DISGUSTING HE IS NOT WORTH THE TIME OF THE DAY HE WILL NEVER HAVE BITCHES GRAFTED SCIONS WERE ALSO SOME HE STOLE JUST TO LIE THAT SOMEONE SLEPT WITH HIM BUT WHO WILL BELIEVE THIS LIE LMAOOOOOO HE IS SO PATHETIC AND INCAPABLE THAT HE HAD TO RIP A DRAGON'S HEAD OFF JUST TO PUT UP ANY FIGHT AND IT WAS STILL PATHETIC AND NOT BECAUSE HE IS THE FIRST 'TRUE' BOSS IT IS BECAUSE HE SUCKS DELETE HIM FROM FAMILY PORTRAITS OF DEMIGODS RESTORE THE TRUTH IN THE NAME OF OUR FRIEND CANNOT HAIGHT

Vargramnished - It is actually a whole type of people and not just one person, but they get their title because for some weird reason their most prominent member is Vargram. Nobody knows how he managed to escape his imprisonment at the Roundtable, lose his iconic sword and outfit, go live overseas, then be brought back in the Lands Between, be picked by Current and then upon his adventures even fight himself at some point but just roll with it I guess lol.

F and Dia - A few of characters who are just another example of overpresent misogyny tropes in Fromslop's works because God forbid woman does anything 🙄 Those Who Chill in Death are just some nice people who enjoy chill existence without soul, they aren't miserable they just act like I do when I have classes early in the morning lmao tf are you talking about?! But F can't stand them existing because he is just a raging bigot and kills people who just try to be happy. Honestly he should have been born amongst Hellbent with how much he craves blood of innocent 🤦‍♂️ At least Dia like a good wholesome mother that she is will protect everyone, huge shame that F (the other F) could not see the reasoning in her hunting his equally bigoted brother and got butthurt lol! The other F should have been called L instead because this is what he needs to hold xD

Cringeon Oof-nir - Just some pathetic dude that doesn't actually know shit lmao, he clearly didn't read all these books but was just browsing through them for pictures because he is a dumbass and can't read lol XD All the stuff he's telling us should not be taken as legit trait of his character come on, Fromslop simply needed a way to dump exposition on us, why they'd write a smart well informed character? As for the insane variety of the spells he's using, again, Fromslop just needed a way to still showcase the spells they've programmed in case if players correctly miss out on them because there is only one valid build to play (source: an argument I had on Reddit)! If they wanted to write a smart character then why he didn't know that one thing he didn't until we helped??? Clearly it is because he is actually a moron, also lazy fence sitter who is just using us! Gideon the All-Coping! Hahaha!

The Greater Whim - Somehow despite being a literal force that created existence itself and life and universe it is petulant enough to descend to very specific pocket of existence only to screw over Mommyrika as it ALSO can't stand her just vibing and being happy, or screw over other people. Everything bad assigned to Mommyrika that can't be blamed on Chadagohn is blamed on the Greater Whim. This is so sad how Mommyrika literally never has a choice and is always forced to do bad stuff because everyone except for her just wants to do evil smh >_<

Melanea - Ok I've mentioned that Mommyrika will love the afflicted child more than a healthy one by proxy uhhh. I've had a piece of paper where absent lore on Melanea in this regard was written but I gave it to the person who thinks everything above is super interesting and compelling writing so they can roll another bong :/ But from all evidence we were given Chadagohn probably used his chad power to keep Mommyrika away from Melanea and not let her care for her smh. And as if that was not enough, Miq Griffin always had her brainwashed. Melanea only was so loyal to him and had faith in him because she was under his spell. It was obvious, wasn't it? Who could ever genuinely love someone as evil and scheming as Miq Griffin anyway? The bastard even created a statue of him and Melanea hugging just so people would not see through his evil manipulative master plan! Eh female characters in Fromslop's works can't have agency anyways, really wish Melanea and others were kept far away from cringe evil men (not Mommy Boyssmer tho, he is good because Mommyrika's love saved him before Chadagohn sabotaged it :3)

Taglist: @bahng-chrizz

Working a summer job wasn't the worst thing you ever did, by far but it wasn't exactly how you planned on spending your summer. Especially if the job in question was at the snack bar at the local community pool. You wanted to spend your summer lazing around towns and spending way too much time at your best friend’s house, not yelling at kids not to run around and trying not to melt under the scorching summer heat. 

The job, though, even if it resembled largely your own personal hell most of the time, had its perks. First of all you had free entrance at the pool and the keys which meant that if you wanted to swim late at night you could and you were sure the owner didn’t mind. And second the lifeguard assigned to keep the little demons at bay was Christopher Bang, and he was dreamy. 

It wasn’t like you and Chris went back but you two knew each other as you had a mutual friend, Lee Felix, who was probably the sweetest and kindest person you knew. The friendship between you and Felix was weird, he was a literal angel and you were the biggest people-hating person you knew, he loved the sun and hot weather and you hated light and suffered if the temperature went past 15°C; but he never pointed the differences out and he was one of the closest friends you had, except for Shuhua of course.

You were extremely thankful to Felix, and not only because he went past your discrepancies but also because he was the one who found you the job; thanks to him you were able to freely ogle at Chris with heart eyes and a slightly open mouth.

“God he’s so hot,” you whined. That day was particularly hot so Chris had discarded his tank top and was only in his trunks, basking in the sun. The sight was glorious.

“Can you stop drooling on a man? It’s embarrassing,” Shuhua sighed and kept fanning herself with a random newspaper you found behind the bar and gave her. Her and her girlfriend Soojin finally agreed to visit you at work after you complained for weeks about how excruciating it was to stay around little kids all day without support. She had been side-eyeing you all morning for simping like that for a man, insisting that it wasn’t very girlboss of you and you insisted back that you knew but he was different, he was actually nice, which earned you an even more sour look.

“Leave her alone, I’m sure you were like this when we weren’t together,” argued Soojin, looking fondly at the other girl. 

“Oh my god, she was even worse and I had to sit through it all the time and of course I couldn’t say anything,” you agreed with Soojin which made Shuhua whine quite loudly.

“Excuse me miss,” a little voice interrupted your conversation, “ can you give me another ice cream?”

“I’m sorry sweetie, but you already ate two and your mother told me not to give you any,” you forced a smile. That kid came everyday and demanded all the ice cream and when the mother said no he threw one hell of a tantrum. 

You tried to resume your conversation with the girls, hoping that the kid would spare you that day, but as soon as you turned the child started screaming and crying for ice cream. Like. Every. Damn. Day. Shuhua scoffed once again and looked at him with that one scary stare she always had.

“Kid, didn’t your mother teach you not to interrupt adult’s conversations?” by the tone of her voice you could tell that your best friend was really ticked off and not just pretending to make the kid quiet. You kinda felt bad for the kid, being on the other end of Shuhua’s annoyance wasn’t something enjoyable. At all.

While you were thinking about that time when you had fucked up really bad and Shuhua yelled at you, the kid sprinted towards the counter, grabbed your phone and then started running in the opposite direction.

“Are you fucking serious?” you mumbled to yourself. as fast as you could you got out of the little snack hut and tried to run after the kid, who was extremely fast and wasn’t wearing shoes which gave him better grip on the wet floor. However you were way taller than him and his little legs could only do so much, your hand started grazing his shoulder and you were already tasting victory when your forehead collided with a hard metal surface. The elevated lifeguard seat. Your luck couldn’t be any better. You fell backwards.

Your head hurt like a bitch, that pole was very sturdy even if it looked rusty. You closed your eyes, the world was spinning a little bit. You could feel people looming over you and faint shouting a bit more far away from you. Soojin and Chris were both kneeling beside your slumped form.

“Are you alright?” Soojin whispered worriedly. You groaned, the last thing you needed was a gigantic bruise in the middle of your forehead.

“My phone.”

“Shuhua went to get it, don't worry.”

A big warm hand gently patted your head and started brushing hair away from your face.

“Are you sure you're okay?”a male voice asked. Chris. Your eyes shot open. He was smiling at you and it was the sweetest smile you had ever seen in your entire life.

“Yeah,” you sputtered. Your whole body was on fire, and not in the good way.

Chris put his muscular arm around your shoulders and helped you sit up. The closeness between both of your faces was making your heart beat wildly.

“I'm going to get some nice, wouldn't want a bruise to ruin your pretty face,” he winked at you playfully.

Soojin raised an eyebrow at you but your mind had escaped your current body and was metaphorically running in a flower field.

Maybe the summer job wasn't that bad.

From that day Chris would always exchange small talk in the morning with you when the pool was quiet and the kids were still sleeping. Sometimes he would catch you staring and he'd send a wink your way paired with one of his adorable smiles which made you extremely flustered. Shuhua and Soojin insisted he liked you, you insisted that he was being nice because you had a mutual friend. But after what happened earlier that day you were starting to toy with the idea.

It was extremely hot and everybody was struggling except the kids that still ran around like it was any other day. The snack hut felt like a furnace but the shadow it provided gave you at least some protection. Chris on the other hand didn't look so good, he was wearing a cap to protect his head against the sun but the heat was getting to him and you could see that. Your hand instinctively flew to the small fridge behind you and grabbed an ice cold bottle of water. 

The walk to the chair was agonizing, your nerves we're so taut that you could play violin on them. The universe though, must have not liked you getting close to that particular spit because once again he sent a kid against you. The blonde, giggly, snotty child ran into your brand new t-shirt (a cat shirt) ice cream first and then proceeded to smear it across the front of it. 

“Hehe, sorry,” he giggled and then ran away.

“I like you shirt,” chuckled Chris, now in front of you. You decided to ignore his comment and handed him the bottle.

“It's really hot, you should drink plenty of water.” 

He took the bottle and smiled again, that man was all smiles.

“Go to the staff room, you can wear my shirt, I have the tank anyway, I don't need it.”

You froze. You? Wear his shirt? Your brain was shutting down.

The staff room wasn't far but it was separated from the pool which meant you could freak out as much as you wanted. Chris' bag laid open on the bench in front of you, his shirt was neatly folded on top. It was a plain black shirt and it smelled of laundry detergent and baby powder. 

“Oh my god, he's not stinky like other men, I love him,” you whispered to yourself while you admired the shirt.

Maybe you were starting to like your summer job.

When you told Shuhua about the shirt incident she was adamant he liked you but you were still very reluctant to believe that. She kept bugging you and insisting that you should ask him out and that he was definitely into you. But still, being the stubborn woman you were, you kept to yourself and the summer swiftly came to an end. The last day of the job had a bitter taste to it, how would you survive without your hot lifeguard to gawk at? You didn't know.

The pool wasn't open, you were only supposed to put all of the pool chairs inside and lock up.

It was hard work and it was still very warm but you were getting paid, so you had to do it. Chris had other plans, he sent you in the staff room to make “inventory” while he carried inside all the chairs.

Y/N:

He's taking the chairs inside all by himself

His muscles look so sexy

I'm feeling hot and bothered rn ngl

Shuhua:

Ew

Just fuck already

“I wanted to surprise you but it seems like you were the one who surprised me,” Chris chuckled from behind your shoulder. 

The gasp you let out was inhuman. You were screwed. As a way to escape the situation you started to slowly back away from him, but soon your back hit the wall effectively trapping you. 

“You think my muscles are sexy?”

You nodded slowly.

“Feel them then.” His warm hand gripped yours and gently guided it to his arm.

“Very impressive,” you stuttered trying so hard not to faint on him.

Chris had his eyes fixed on you, he had this look, dark and intimidating. It was hot.

“Can I touch you?”

“YES!”

Your lips met in a soft chaste kiss, it was almost innocent, but his hands wandered your body. He gripped and kneaded your flesh feverishly. His plump lips trailed down your jaw and stopped at your neck. His link tongue darted out to lap at the skin.

Your mind was clouded with so much pleasure from only his mouth on your neck that you didn't notice his hand had slipped past your underwear until he pressed on your clit lightly. He had made you gasp twice that day, but the second one was for a completely different reason.

You were so wet it was easy for him to slip his fingers inside you. You instinctively threw your head back and smacked it a little too hard against the tiled wall.

“Careful baby,” he groaned. His fingers slipped out of you and a whine escaped your lips but your voice got caught in your throat when you saw what he did next. He kneeling. In front of you. And looking at you like you were a goddess.

“We should go out sometimes,” he said while he yanked your shorts down.

You definitely loved your summer job.

𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀'𝐒 relationship with ateez

જ⁀➴ masterlist

SEONGHWA ⋆ HWALA

these two seriously radiate the mama and daughter relationship. even though it may be a silly joke about how seonghwa is portrayed as the “mama” of the group, he truly does play that role. he is so kindhearted and gentle that he always tends to shower bella with so much love and care. he brings comfort to everyone and protects them. with his precious bambi, he praises bella for anything she does to contribute to the group, reminding his angel that she is perfectly enough. not to mention, she is his favorite child. 

HONGJOONG ⋆ HONGHEE

VERY overprotective. hongjoong will make sure bella is safe even if they are miles apart. however, he does know that she can take care of herself. atinys does find it cute how he is the biggest oppa to bella. additionally, she would ask him for advice and give her some inspiration. bella admires hongjoong as the hero of her life. 

YUNHO ⋆ YUNYOUNG

as the lovable giant puppy of ateez, yunho is the sweetest and most playful to bella. he knows how to make her smile and laugh with his dorky behavior. plus, yunho influences bella to let loose and go along with the chaos because she was a shy girl during their early idol days. there are times it’s good and there are times it’s bad. the good, bella is secretly a comedian with so much wit that she can make the members laugh hysterically. the bad is she would become a crazy yet cute bambi. so, in conclusion, yunho can bring out a new side of bella. 

YEOSANG ⋆ YEOLA

soft like really THE softest duo ever! they share a lot of similarities. from having perfect visuals to being the cutest cinnamon rolls in the world. it’s almost like they are the same person. but underneath their sweet, innocent, and pure persona, there is a wicked side to them. although the biggest difference between yeosang and bella is one is more clueless than the other. *ahem* yeosang. 

SAN ⋆ SANBELL

he loves and i mean LOVES her so much. when their big boss announced they were welcoming a brand new member, san instantly accepted bella. yeah, it did occur to him that it was an odd idea for a girl to be in a group filled with eight guys, but it didn't matter. san is one of the kindest human beings out there and he is bella’s certified hypeman because she is perfect in his eyes. everyone needs a choi san in their lives. 

MINGI ⋆ BELLGI

when they first met, mingi expected bella to quickly be intimidated or afraid of him because of his cold-looking outer appearance. well, that is 100% incorrect. bella approached mingi with the most cordial attitude. she became his bestie who was willing to hold his hand if he got scared or upset, bring him joy, and protect him. mingi does find it adorable yet amazing how someone tinier than him is very strong. he appreciates bella with his whole heart 24/7. 

WOOYOUNG ⋆ 2YOUNG

a sunshine protector and a sunshine. the fandom goes wild for these two. wooyoung is the best boy and the best moodmaker. he is also like a bodyguard to bella. wooyoung will fight back if anyone talks down on her or looks at her the wrong way. most importantly, there is never a dull moment in bella’s life when wooyoung is around. 

JONGHO ⋆ JONGLA

last but not least, the maknaes of ateez. the level of maturity from the 2000s line is hilarious. they often get mistaken as the “adults” of the group and the members can see it. also let me tell you about their vocals. it is HEAVENLY. along with san, they deliver like angels lighting up the gloomy sky. despite not liking affection or skinship as much, jongho will go soft for bella. her adorable self fills his heart with happiness. 

[catastrophicdisasters]

i promised myself i wouldnt keep inflicting TUA essays on people who... probably do not want to hear them lmfao so, MORE YAPPING INTO THE VOID

i'm in the middle of my rewatch rn (i am not going to be caught up in time but we're not thinking abt that rn) and have Thoughts abt the Luther / Allison... thing

SO!!

i mean, we all agree while it's not technically incest... it's still incest, right? that said, they did kind of pop off with the dancing in the moonlight dance scene. i rlly want the dress Emmy wears, it's so pretty

BUT like, i remember watching it the first time and being like "... why?" bc it's just... it's kinda cute, but mostly it's just weird. even at the time, i didnt think it was going to last the season, i fully expected (hoped) for it to get wrapped in the "we shouldnt be doing this" by the end of s1

but watching it back it really just highlights how alone they both are? that, realistically, it was never more than a friendship / tiny crush, that just... ended up going to more places than it should've because they were just so, so isolated from normal life?

allison says it herself - "maybe you're the only person who really knows who I am and still likes me anyway". they never had any real human connection other than the rest of the Umbrellas - they were child celebrities, superheroes, even!

and Allison may have left, may have had a life outside of the academy, but when you think about it she went from being a famous child superhero to a famous actor - nobody ever knew her. it's even implied that she rumoured patrick to love her ('i heard a rumour that you love me'), so it's likely that even her husband didn't really know who she was. and also, let's face it, who in the 'real world' is really going to understand what it's like to be part of a family of superheros and raised by a robot mother and... Reginald? (im not even gonna begin to unpack what he did to those kids, jfc) other than someone else that was there, who experienced all of it, right along side you

(shared trauma, and all that)

"You're the sweetest, kindest man I've ever known" - yeah, probably because every other man she's ever met has wanted to use her for something, most likely her fame. to be able to say that they dated ~Allison Hargreeves~, one of the amazing Umbrella Academy kids, or that famous actress, and not because they actually liked her or had any interest in her as a person. or, she rumoured them to be interested in her, so the entire 'connection' she had with them was fake from the outset - entirely built on lies and superficial bullshit

(coming back to this at the start of s1e8, the way she visibly deflates and looks kind of uncomfortable/resigned when the policeman recognises her and starts acting differently. but then she takes advantage of it. admittedly, in this case, she’s trying to hunt down her sibling, but... you know?)

in fact, it's likely that none of her connections outside of the academy were ever real, so it's not surprising that Luther is the only one she felt that kind of connected to. they all talk about how Five thought he was superior to them all, even before he jumped; Viktor was left out of everything;, none of them took Klaus seriously, and i'm p sure i remember it showing him rolling a joint at a breakfast; it sounded like Diego and Luther were always at odds with each other (and if she was closest with Luther anyway, she'd take his side in any arguments); and Ben looked pretty shy, and then he was gone too.

and Luther... Luther lived to be Spaceboy, the academy's Number One. he says it, too: "I sacrificed everything for him, my entire life. I never left this house, I never had friends, and for what?". maybe Allison had these fake connections, but Luther didn't even have that

so it's not surprising that they were - or thought they were - in love with each other. they literally have no idea what real human connection looks or feels like

i don't think their relationship was ever meant to be anything other than a way to highlight that, personally

everybody else's trauma manifests in clear ways, but Allison? with her movie star life, her husband and child? she's normal! she got away! and Luther? he was happy as Spaceboy, nothing bothered him! just endless frustration at his siblings who didn't take their jobs seriously.

wrong.

and their weird little psuedo-incestuous relationship proves that

at least to me, anyway! obvs youre free to disagree with me lmao, and i havent gotten to s2 in my rewatch yet so i couldve forgotten / missed something entirely obvious

ONE DAY LEFT IM NOT READY

[jgroffdaily]

Excerpts from an interview with Merrily director Maria Friedman at The Record, Bergen County

Actors, we are told, "age out" of roles. A cruel reality of the business.

How nice to hear, in "Merrily We Roll Along," about actors who have aged in.

Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez, the leads in this revival of Stephen Sondheim's most autobiographical, most problematic and possibly best musical, are all in their 30s.

“I'm pinching myself at how lucky I am," Friedman said. "I could keep on and on and on with this thing."

Ever since then, people have been tinkering with the show, trying to get it right. Friedman thinks she has. Thanks in no small part to her cast.

"They are the kindest, sweetest people you could ever work with," Friedman said. "I've never seen people with so much give so much."

Another pitfall is making it too cynical, bitchy, judgy. "We all, by the time we are the age these characters are playing, have made mistakes," she said. "And it's OK. You can reset. I have a forgiveness and love for every single person on that stage. I find a way to explore their humanity, their fragility, their loneliness, the lack of love and the wanting of love and the not understanding of love. I don't blame anyone."

That goes especially for Franklin Shepard, frequently cast as the villain of the piece — the king sellout. Not in her show.

"Everyone says Frank is unlikeable," she said. "Well, watch this Frank. He's loveable. He's charismatic. He's a people pleaser. He's not a villain on any front. He's brilliant, and he loses his way because of other people's demands on him."

All credit to Groff's great performance, Friedman says. But Radcliffe, as his buddy Charley, is not a bit behindhand. Not least because we've all watched Radcliffe on his own "Merrily We Roll Along" journey — from beloved child star in the "Harry Potter" series, to adult, risk-taking actor in "Equus" and "Endgame." He won't disappoint his fans, Friedman said.

"He's dazzling, absolutely dazzling," she said. "A remarkable man, and a remarkable actor. He stops the show at several points."

tortles 👁👁

Is there any story you feel like sharing about them? Their personalities/vibes/relationships with eachother? (Btw I absolutely love the designs, they are so pretty :))

sorry i haven't answered this earlier,, i've been thinking abt this v hard and saved it,, tysm for the question(s) <3 i will be including april in these (i've actually drawn her but i haven't posted her. oops)

i wrote,, a lot. i am so sorry but i had much to say. so. it'll be below the cut <3

Personalities -

Donnie - He's very quiet (selectively mute). He only speaks when he really wants to. It's even rarer for him to do so w/ strangers. Probably speaks the most w/ April?

He cares about his family a lot, emotions are just ,, hard. And showing them is harder. He actually doesn't really mind physical touch? It's just. normal. to him. even though often times hes not the one who initiates it. He tends to just stand by and listen to what others want him to do. He protects, and he listens. Thats what he does best (which has led to a lot of self-dehumanization !)

Leo - She always appears calm and put together, but shes always up to do something fun. In general, shes very charismatic. People love her charm. She bounces around a lot; shes not often in one place.

She loves dressing up (something she shares w/ Mikey)! She also loves ballet and gymnastics. Wanna blow something up? Shes up for it. Wanna go watch someone do something stupid? Always. Shes the "face" of the group, one of the most social, and the most charming. She uses it to her advantage . obvs :)

Mikey - Everyone loves Mikey. Hes the favorite. The sweetest, the kindest, the most loving. Hes actually a menace, but. yknow. its easy to not realize that when he looks how he does.

hes so sweet !! (he pushed someone into a ditch) So kind !! (he is pointing his middle fingers at u behind your back). He gets away w/ EVERYTHIIING. splinter insists hes not the favorite but that is a LIE. he does actually care abt his family (and his friends) ! and he is actually genuinely kind at times ! but. he is a troublemaker at heart (he gives raph heart attacks every other day).

Raph - he is a very tired teenage mom. very tired. he gets fed up quickly, and he has a habit of jumping to conclusions.

Hes impatient, grumbly, and snappy, but he gets very anxious very quickly (w/ mikey it is 10x worse). he tends to catastrophize, and he is Very protective and overbearing at times. he doesnt even realize hes doing it sometimes. Hes trying his best to be there and keep them safe, but his best isnt enough even if he wants it to be.

April - Shes fun and energetic !! she loves to join in on Adventures and bring trouble where she goes <3 she cares so. SO. much abt the turtles. theyre everything to her (lowkey she cares abt them more than her own family).

she can be a voice of reason, but most of the time she is Not. shes carefree and she loves to do anything and everything!! ... around the turtles, that is. Around her family, shes quiet. withdrawn. she has a very complicated relationship w/ her family, and thats caused many many issues w/herself. She sees the turtles as a chance to be free, but even then she uses a facade. Girlie is going through things.

Vibes -

Donnie - Chillest guy ever. can be intimidating due to,, lack of emotion and How Fucking Tall he is, but hes quiet and like. never aggressive. just a guy u can depend on tbh.

Leo - Shes like. So cool. Calm, charismatic, charming,, she attracts people like flies. shes got v good vibes :] coolest older sister ever.

Mikey - BABY. BABY BOY. he could not do anything wrong ever (ignore everything wrong hes done ever. heehee hoohoo). little sibling vibes to the max LITTLEST GUY...

Raph - have i mentioned Teenage Mom. hes so tired man. mikey keeps pulling on his leash :( (he had to put a harness on him).

April - the gifted child syndrome and the eldest sibling syndrome are strong in this one. oh ! but dont worry, shes very good at repressing it. yknow, for other peoples sake :)

Relationships -

Donnie - Close w/ Leo, eldest siblings (though leo is v close in age w/ raph). He lets mikey come into his room and do whatever as long as he doesnt touch anything super dangerous. He respects raph a lot for everything he does. Besties w/ April :) he loves her a lot. shes family

Leo - She admires Donnie a lot just for,,, who he is. hes dependable and she appreciates it. Mikey is her little brother !! she loves him!! she loves doing things w/ him - like clothes shopping. theyre v close! She makes fun of raph but she doesnt rlly mean it, she just thinks hes fun to annoy LOL. April is also her bestie!! she always loves being w/ april and she talks abt her (april) all the time (and later they become gfs)

Mikey - He rlly loves watching donnie work. its fascinating to him. Watches Donnie a Lot and admires him. he loves leo so much!! shes his big sister! she gave him her bow and goes shopping w/ him, and she taught him how to make bracelets :) thinks shes literally the best. so sweet w/ her. Hes the closest w/ raph, though. theyre almost always w/ each other. hes usually dragging raph to places (by force, typically). he is a menace when around raph bc 1. he knows raph hates it 2. he knows no one will believe raph >:)

Raph - Mutually respects Donnie. they understand each other. leo he bickers w/ a lot, since they have such different mindsets. he finds her annoying, but shes still someone he can trust when it really comes down to it. mikey is A MENACE and he HATES HIM. (its a lie. he loves mikey very much. and he cares for mikey so so much). mikey always gives him trouble everyday. no one else seems to understand how much trouble mikey causes, to his disdain. hes always w/ mikey because hes paranoid and afraid of letting smth happen to mikey. April is someone he tends to talk to a lot, and they exchange information a lot abt their siblings. They understand what its like to have younger siblings and have to worry about them.

April - Donnie is HER BESTIEEE. she tells him everything !! she trusts him more than anyone (a title shared w/ Leo). shes almost always hanging around him if not w/ leo, and shes learned a lot abt donnies expressions and his characteristics. she knows a lot abt him. Leo !! leo is the best! theyre just girls who love each other a lot,,, platonically, of course, hahahaha. unless ... ? :) She tends to be similar to how Leo acts around mikey-- hes literally perfect 2 her. shes most calm w/ raph, and she knows he appreciates it. they sip tea together and talk abt everyday things

anyway yeah. thats it. i did say that i had a lot to say. hope yall liked it bc this took a While :')

[featherlouise]

so like. out of curiosity what happens with the small insignificant group - 👹

RIGHT. SO.

Putting this under read more bc it's pretty long (so strap in!! Lmao)

This group starts off as maybe a dozen people who know people who work in/actually work in the palace

EVERYTHING about the vessel/dreamer plan has been kept HEAVILY under lock and key, so while very few people know the details, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that that weird statuesque guard you've been seeing trailing after the king for the past decade and a half is also the god-killing, infection-destroying "secret" child of the king and queen.

So!! Word gets out that PK basically took away all rights to the throne from his child and instead raised them as a knight, and people start to believe that maybe it's because he was afraid of their power. If he raised them to be completely subservient to him, they'd never use that power against him. (obv that's not true but at this point these people are basically just conspiracy theorists)

THEN when Hollow starts making more public appearances, they're surrounded by guards CONSTANTLY, which prompts these conspiracy theorists to believe that PK is STILL afraid of them and, coward that he is, is putting his guards - the cannon fodder - in harm's way.

It doesn't take long for people to realise that Hollow is actually the fkin sweetest, kindest, most patient person you're likely to ever meet, which spurs confusion as to why the king seems to think they're so dangerous.

Eventually, this group of people come to the conclusion that their king is a coward who'd rather hide his child away than face the fact that they're 'CLEARLY ' more qualified for the throne than him, and that the only reason they're known to the public now is bc of their spontaneous resurrection (which is used as more 'evidence' that they're more powerful than the king lol) and he had no choice but to "spin their story" into one of a happy family reunion. (some people actually believe that PK killed Hollow out of fear originally, and held the funeral out of guilt but there's no "evidence" for that so it's not a particularly popular theory"

SO it takes a while for them to gather enough members to actually consider trying to stage a coup, but they do manage.

They call themselves PHFTT (Prince Hollow For The Throne) bc I think it's funny (tho I'm open to suggestions if u can think of a better name)

MEANWHILE during one of Herrah and Hornet's visits to the palace, Herrah, using her motherly powers of intuition, noticed that Hollow was unhappy with their constant surveillance, and tells them that Deepnest is always open to them.

After the confrontation™️, Hollow decides to take Herrah up on her offer and catches the first tram to Deepnest, escaping their guards for the first time.

(RIGHT!! ABOUT THE CONFRONTATIONS:

The first happens when Hollow decides they can't take having zero privacy and tries to talk their dad into getting rid of their guard detail, which PK basically completely ignores, promoting Hollow to give him the silent treatment for a few weeks.

After that, PK approaches Hollow, confused as to why they seem annoyed at him, which starts confrontation 2 electric boogaloo, where the screaming match happens (and where they find out that they can project their thoughts thru the void to anyone who's been touched by it (the heavier void poisoning u have, the clearer u can hear them, but at this point they're SCREAMING so it's p easy to hear lmao)), Hollow storms out etc etc)

WITHOUT TELLING THEIR DAD

PK, naturally, freaks tf out, believing his worst fears to have come true, and sends literally as many people as he can out to look for Hollow.

While on the tram, Hollow manages to calm themselves down enough to feel guilty about just upping and leaving, so resolves to basically just pop in for a visit before going home (let's say the tram to Deepnest takes a couple hrs, so they'd be gone for about 5 hrs if they spend an hr ish with Herrah and Hornet)

By the time they arrive back in the city, they've completely cooled down, ranted about PK to Herrah, played with Hornet for a bit ect, and they're ready to try talking to their father again, resolving to be firm, but also apologize for their earlier words bc they absolutely did not mean it and in fact love their dad to pieces.

By the time they arrive at the palace, they notice that it's strangely free of guards and retainers (bc when I say PK sent EVERYONE to look for Hollow, I mean EVERYONE)

As they approach their father's workshop, they notice vases, paintings, curtains etc along the corridor are completely destroyed/ knocked over. It looks like a blind stag ran through the corridor.

Opening the door, they hear a commotion coming from inside.

Turns out, having sent out p much the entire palace staff and then some, PK has left himself completely vulnerable to intruders, and was taken off guard when someone he recognised as a retainer walked into his study without knocking.

Remember when I mentioned the palace staff being some of the first members of PHFTT?? i.e. people who know the layout of the palace like the back of their hand AND will be able to know the exact moment that the king becomes vulnerable???

PK is ambushed by over 2 dozen people, each screaming that he's a COWARD, a DISGRACE, UNWORTHY OF THE THRONE OF HALLOWNEST and his first thought is that they're infected, but there's not even a hint of orange in their eyes, and his confusion and hesitation is what allows them to get a few decent blows in, along with him being distracted bc of Hollow's disappearance.

SO at that moment, Hollow opens the door, and when the attackers notice them, they immediately drop to their knees in front of them all like

"My Prince!! We, the Prince Hollow for the Throne society have elected to destroy this coward, and pave the way for y-"

And the room goes silent.

Feral Hollow ensues

BASICALLY after the fight and everything gets sorted out, PK is able to see that Hollow is quite capable of taking care of themselves actually, and Hollow is able to realise exactly how their dad feels

That's all I've got for now :D

none of this is set in stone as usual so if u have any suggestions I'm open!!

[smartass-hoot]

hi hi i will NEVER be normal about iruclarazz and here's why (with images because they have the most wholesome and loving relationship and they’re the lovey-est dovey-est friends to lovers OT3 to ever exist)

Anyways I'm gonna keep the rest of it under the cut + images and canon evidence because these guys are just too perfect of a relationship and it's gonna be a LONG post so grab some popcorn and strap in!!!

Okay so lemme introduce them first:

Iruma: he's the MC, and he's the softest, kindest, most hardworking dude to ever exist. He also can't say no to people at all, and is a complete pushover. He's had a really rough life, but that only made him kinder to his friends and complete strangers, and he's just the sweetest goodest cinnamon roll okay??

Azz-azz (asmodeus): he's The Honor Student, child prodigy, talented, beautiful, and mister perfect who never lets his walls down. He can be cold to people he doesn't know, but lately after finding iruma and clara he's opened up and he's just any other obsessed teenager to exist

Clara: agent. of. chaos. She has tons of energy and always loves having fun with her friends, not caring much about rules. Not the smartest, but she's very empathetic and observant, and sometimes takes on the role of the 'big sister' when her boys need her

Okay so basic dynamics:

two smols x one tol

two sunshines x one frosty

wholesome and healthy relationships built on trust and love

one collective braincell in their joint account

the fact that pink green blue is the polysexual pride flag colours

clara and azz both bonding over their love for iruma and learning to love each other too

anyways, moving onto the more poetic/story reasons why i love them,,,

what really drives me about this ship is how lonely all of them were before meeting each other.

Like,,, iruma had to fend for himself his whole life due to absent parents, and he never really had anyone he could rely on, or someone who cared for him as much as he cared about them. Azz was a child prodigy and that put up a lot of walls around him, which he never bothered to take down, and he became so used to being alone that he said it was 'comfortable' for him. Clara… well people used her a lot for her magic and cast her aside as soon as they didn't need her anymore, and they repeatedly made sure she knew how she was only as worthy as she was useful.

That all changed when they met each other.

Iruma found people who genuinely cared for him, and people with whom he's learning how to set boundaries (he's trying, okay?), and for the first time in his entire life, he made friends. Azz learned to let go of being the perfect person, and because of clara and iruma, he found something to be obsessed about, and something worth doing dumb, emotional stuff for!!! And clara found people who want to be friends with her because of who she is, and people who never undermine her worth but instead reinforce it with love and banter <3

Anyways, moving onto canon material because this shit speaks for itself I don't even need to say anything

THEY CALL EACH OTHER SOULMATES!! AND THE LOVE TRIO!!! And iruma doesn't want to give the soulmate title to anyone else!!! SO THEY'RE SPECIAL TO EACH OTHER YOUR HONOR

Like,,, whenever one person is troubled, the other two go out of their way to cheer that person up! There's no possessiveness (beyond the normal bantering competition lmao I love clara and azz and how much those two adore iruma) and they don't feel insecure if two members spend some time together individually! Like,,, yess!! The trust! The respect! The sheer fckn love they have for each other!!!

AND THE THING IS!!! They love each other and care for each other a LOT but they still have boundaries! They're still their own person!! And most importantly, they have faith that their soulmate is strong and capable enough to handle their problems (but that doesn't mean they won't step in immediately if the someone needs help or is in danger)

Although,,, they can and will throw hands to keep each other safe and gods ksjdfnksfnskjd I'm just so soft for OT3s that protect each other while still respecting each other LIKE THEY HAVE THAT BALANCE!! THE HEALTHY BALANCE!!!

SEE??? I LEGIT SCREAMED IN THESE SCENES BC THEY GOT EACH OTHERS' BACKS

And as serious as they can become, they're still goofballs who love each other and I love that about them

They're on the same page most of the time (they have one braincell and it goes on vacation everytime they're together lmao),, and whenever things get rough they always think about each other!!! ksjdnfkdnfkjsndfkjs

ALSO!!!

They inspire each other to train harder and grow stronger!!! they sometimes get worried and go to the other person to check on them but as soon as they see their soulmates giving it their all, they end up being motivated to aim even higher!!!

this is the foundations of how every power couple is built and no you can't change my mind

Gods I could go on and on about them but have some of their soft, affectionate, and wholesome moments as a final touch!!!

(the fact that sleeping is when you're most vulnerable and these three feel comfortable enough to nap with each other,,, like please i'm going to fucking cry)

so yeah. i love them and they're literally one of the best relationships i've ever seen in media. so please vote for them!! they deserve all the love and affection <3

Friends to Lovers Tournament: Round 1, Side A, Match 9

propaganda under the cut!

Iruclarazz:

LISTEN THEY ARE THE OT3 TO BEAT ALL OTHER OT3's LIKE THEY HOLD SO MUCH POWER!!!

1. THEY ARE SO FUCKING FLUFFY AND COLOURFUL AND PURE AND ADORABLE AND—*chokes on emotions* anyways they're literally the most wholesome and supportive of all ships like i can't even begin to summarize how much they care for each other

2. THEY CANONLY CALL EACH OTHER SOULMATES and even if clara and azz don't understand what a soulmate is (they're demons) they're just happy to be close to iruma. 

3. whenever one of them is upset or bothered, the other two form a team and they go ALL OUT to lift the third person's mood!!! they try to solve the problem but if that's not possible, they just stay with that person and try to make them feel better so that they can face their problem with a better mood and more strength

4. they're ALWAYS together. and none of them are bothered by it!! and instead of being toxic about the need to stay close, they establish boundaries! like they have their own secrets they can't tell the others and that's totally fine! no pressure at all in their squad

5. listen these three help each other become better people!! like they bring out the best in each other and it's the most wholesome, encouraging, healthy, lovey dovey ship ever!!! like clara becomes more responsible despite her need for chaos bc she wants to make sure azz and iruma can depend on her! azz stops putting up walls and allows people to approach him because he wants to get involved in the other two's lives! and iruma learns how to set boundaries with these two where he could never say no to anyone!! like if that isn't the most awesome and perfect relationship idk what is!!!

6. one tol and two smols that's all.

THERE IS JUST SO MUCH MORE IN CANON THAT SHOWS HOW AWESOME THESE TRIO ARE AS AN OT3 BUT YEAH IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL POLY SHIP I'VE EVER SEEN IN MANGA!!!

Sunnflower:

ok listen their relationship is extremely important to the plot of the game so they get a lot of focus and a lot of the stuff they say abt each other is like????? bro thats kinda fruity ngl??????? theres like. a lot of stuff i could say about them. like a lot. too much actually

so instead ill just, idk summarize their relationship and then give some fun facts abt them

Sunny and Basil are best friends! They're shown to be very close to each other, closer than they are to the rest of their friends. They rely on each other to listen when they need to vent, and like to read books together! Before the events of the game, Sunny and Basil become involved in an incident that basically tears their friend group apart. Basil keeps the secret of their involvement from everyone because he cares too much about Sunny to let him get in trouble. They then don't talk for four years, and spend the entire time pining for each other!

Basil hopes for four years that Sunny will finally come back to him, meanwhile Sunny has retreated into a perfect dreamworld he uses to cope. All of his friends are there, and everyone is happy, and the dreamworld is full of things Basil loves. The most common food item is tofu(Basil's favorite food),  there's an entire race of plant creatures that adore tofu(Basil likes to garden + his favorite food), his garden in the dreamworld is huge and has lots of flowers that represent each of his friends! Also, an important NPC says this abt Sunny and Basil's relationship: "He is special to you. A string of fate ties you together." A string of fate you say? Hmmm, I wonder why they phrased it like that...

Also, when Sunny and Basil finally do start talking again, Basil says stuff like this: "W...Wait... P-Please, SUNNY... Don't leave me... Not again..." "After all this time... you've finally come back for me. But... tomorrow... you're going away. H-HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!?!? That's mean, SUNNY. That's so mean!" Yeah... he's not doing too well...

But don't worry! After a year or two of therapy I'm sure these two can have a happy, healthy relationship!

Obviously I have a lot more to say abt them but it's all literary analysis and context clues and stuff, I just wanted to point out the more obvious stuff!

Demigod MC Series: Hestia

This is another eternally virgin goddess, so we're doing another pseudo-demigod by adoption (like we did with Athena).

Demigod MC: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Athena, Hades Pt. 2, Poseidon, Ares, Hestia

Hestia is the goddess of the Hearth, Home, Architecture, Domesticity, Family, and the State. She's high up there (firstborn of Rhea and Cronus), but several factors have led to her falling into the background when compared to the other (flashier) Olympians. She swore to never marry, rejecting proposals from both Poseidon and Apollo, and is something of an antithesis to Aphrodite.

Lucifer

Honestly? He thought they were exactly what they were after. A weak human with no experience in the magical world what-so-ever.

Well… He was half-right.

On the surface, this is a pretty weak human. They don't have super flashy powers or a divine birth from the gods… but they do have a very protective adoptive mother.

The brothers had just settled in for their first dinner with the new human when the goddess herself strolled into their dining room, asked who was in charge, then dragged Lucifer away by the ear!

She's not even his mother, yet he felt the intense urge to apologize and put himself in his own room… Oh, the humiliation… at least she did the same to Diavolo…

The Prince was only able to calm her down by promising absolutely NO harm would come to her child… on their heads...

By the time the goddess finally let him go, Lucifer was about ready to shackle the MC to his wrist so nothing could touch them but he settled on keeping them with him like an assistant of sorts. They were in charge of helping him with the paperwork so he could keep an eye on them. 

What he didn’t expect was for them to be so… good at it? They could keep his offices clean, they managed his daily schedule, fixed up the House, and still have time to bring him tea and sweets every night!

They could even reign in his brothers somehow… They weren't strong or intimidating, but one or two mildly unhappy words out of them and everybody would be on their best behavior.

Was everyone positive they're only human...?

As much as he hated to admit, he may have a slight deep case of falling for the housekeeper… He would make a move, but well…

He has Beel to contend with first.

Mammon

Okay so, watching Lucifer get dragged out by the ear just like Raphael used to do to him was hilarious!!! The whole room got a good laugh! 🤣

Until Hestia glared at them and suddenly they all felt like they'd disappointed someone important….

And all that fuss over some dumb human??

So what if they made amazing food?

So what if they could clean the entire mansion in a day?

So what if they were the walking equivalent to a warm cup of cocoa on a winter's day??

So what if they were just the kindest, sweetest thing in this godforsaken hellscape and he would throw himself in front of a bus to keep them safe-

-Wait, when did that happen?!?

Seriously, Mammon's attachment to the MC came out of NOWHERE to him. One day, he was threatening to eat their soul and the next he's freaking out when they stub their toe!

He swears they have to have some kind of magic about them! A charm, or a spell, or… their lovable smile and warm, loving hugs...! 😊

Damnit!! They're too cute!! He needs them to go away but also never leave, thanks. 😒

In all seriousness, though their kind nature puts Mammon's tsundere self at a bit of a disadvantage, his protective instincts shoot through the roof whenever they're involved.

Naturally, that means his day is spent running them away from hungry lesser demons or shielding them from Beel and Lucifer's tug-of-war matches… He's a busy guy these days. 😖

Leviathan 

They're so… so… MOE!!!

That was his immediate thought when Mammon brought them home. He was expecting a defenseless human, but not one that could have stepped out of one of his slice-of-life manga!

To be honest, his instant thought was try and find a place to sit them on his shelves with the rest of the adorable characters he loves… 😅

And that was before they even opened their mouth! Five words into their introduction and he was ready to get their face on a t-shirt!!

Honestly, combine their natural cuteness with their household skills and they made for perfect waifu/husbando material… 

Not helped by the fact they found one of his maid/butler outfits while doing the laundry one day. Not only did they ask if they could wear it, they actually non-ironically liked it and started wearing it around the House!!

Oh he got cornered by Beel, Lucifer, and Mammon separately that day because they thought he was using them for fetish fuel… But it was their idea, he swears!!

I mean… He didn't discourage them or anything either but still…

If Beel hadn't claimed them on Day One, Levi might have eventually thrown his hat in the ring too... Oh well… he can pine from a distance… What else is new? 😔

Satan

He has a video of Hestia dragging Lucifer out of the dining room on his phone and it's one of his most treasured possessions now. 😌

He is perhaps the only person in the House who was not at all impressed with their little human.

So they could cook? So could he. So they can clean? That's not impressive. They could manage a household? Big deal, he's more or less been in charge of the same thing for centuries!

As far as he saw it, there was nothing the MC could do that he couldn't do as proficiently or even better. There was nothing remarkable about this human at all!

… except for one thing.

That maid/butler outfit of Levi's? The one they like to wear around?

It has cat accessories…

Either they don't notice or they don't mind it but they essentially walk around the House cleaning things with little kitty ears attached to their head and a bell on their collar…

Dammit… Why did Levi even buy that?!?

Satan ended up getting in trouble for enchanting their outfit to give them REAL ears and a tail "accidentally..." Lucifer strung him up by his toes, Beel gave him a black-eye, and Mammon still calls him a "perverted cat freak" but it was worth it, he says, worth it!!

Asmodeus 

Oh Beel…

Asmo saw Beel's feelings for the MC coming from a mile away. He didn't even need to confirm it with a sniff check, he had them scented by the end of their first night!

Lucifer, on the other hand, now that was a surprise... 😏

Ask him a century ago if Lucifer would ever consider a human lover, godly mother or no, and he'd have laughed! Yet here he is, giving gifts and sneaking whiffs of their adorable new housemate!

Of course, that's causing some commotion because they're pitted against each other, but Asmo finds it kind of cute honestly. 

Beel and Lucifer aren't fighting, not for real. The whole house knows Lucifer would win in a real brawl, but neither of them actually want to hurt the other… They're far too close for that.

So Beel tosses Lucifer around with kid gloves and Lucifer holds back considerably against Beel. It's pretty much just two brothers who love each other squabbling over the same toy… 🤭

Honestly, Lucifer might have bowed out by now and just let Beel have them but now his pride's on the line… thus an endless tussle between family and the sweet MC is in the middle, clueless to it all!

Tragic, is it not? But it certainly makes things more entertaining around here! (Good thing too since Beel beat him to the punch… If it's a fight against those two, he'll have to keep any of his own affairs with the MC under the radar... 😏)

Beelzebub 

He has claimed this one. Full stop.

For a bit of perspective: when Barbatos needs cooking tips, he calls Hestia. Hestia, the Divine Master of All Things Cooking. Hestia, the goddess who raised this MC… 

Needless to say if they have any magic at all, it's in the kitchen.

If food is the way to Beel's heart, this MC has claimed his heart, soul, and probably all of his vital organs. Their food is astounding!! Always perfect every time and so good it brings him to tears!

It started the night of that first dinner, prepared by MC. He was too busy scarfing down the table to even notice a goddess showed up and then he proposed to the MC with their own pig roast by meal's end!

They said no to marriage, but an instant pact agreement suited him just fine.

Beel didn't waste a single moment before he started treating them like a potential mate, territorial aggression and all, but there was a bit of a catch… He kept the MC totally oblivious to it.

Surprisingly, Beel's can turn the "They're MINE" part of his brain on and off pretty well. He's nothing but sweet and cuddly to the MC when they're around and even with his brothers!... as long as they don't try anything.

The moment he caught whiff that Lucifer might be pursuing them too, it was on. Suddenly the two brothers who almost never fight were in competition against each other! But of course, both have an unspoken rule to never do so in front of MC.

And now poor MC believes it's common for demons to "play wrestle" like puppies and hugs are traditionally supposed to be so hard they could snap spines… 

And it doesn’t look like they'll be backing down any time soon… Oh dear...

Belphegor 

You know what? For once, everything goes exactly to plan for Belphie!

No really, this MC has no hidden powers, no magic horses, not even Demon Nip. They are a helpless, trusting little human who just wants to help their big teddy bear get his twin back!

So, you know how it goes. The charm, the lies, the treachery and all of that. He even gets to kill them!! Oh, happy days!! 😁

Come to think of it, they did smell an awful lot like Beel… But who cares, as long as Lucifer suffers right?? And this whole "living together in harmony" crap fails, right?!

Wrong. 

Beel went ballistic. Lucifer did too, but Beel was what really hurt…

Belphie can safely say that in all of his life, Beel has never physically attacked him. Not once, or at least, not with intent to kill… 

But when the sixthborn's fist went crashing through the wall right by his ear that day, he knew his brother's first instinct was to aim for his head… and his second was to miss, as he still loved him, but only by just a little.

What the hell did he just do??

Thank their father for Barbatos and all the funky time stuff he can do because bringing the MC "back" snapped his angry brothers right out of it. 

Things should have been smoothed over at that point but as everyone was finally settling down for tea, Hestia made another appearance in the House… this time carrying a butcher's knife!

Time fix or no, Diavolo had promised her no harm would come to MC and at least one continuity of them DIED… so punishment was now on Lucifer and the Demon Prince himself!

Belphie, in a rare case of guilt and an expression of brotherly love, offered to take their place since it WAS kind of all his fault. His gesture softened the Goddess of Family juuust enough to lighten his sentence from execution to hard labor.

And thus, the MC had their own housekeeping assistant for a whole year, complete with bitter reluctance and a matching maid outfit! Cat-theme and all!!

He's sending nightmares to anybody who laughs… guaranteed. 😒

Pairing - One Direction x Reader (platonic) [sixth member!fem!reader]

Summary - Headcannons for being put together in a band on X Factor.

Okay you were a nervous, stuttering mess on the stage, as you sang Rihanna's 'Don't Stop The Music'

You could see the slight wince Louis Walsh gave in your direction, as your note wavered. But through some miracle, he saw potential, and you moved through with 3 yeses.

Then came bootcamp. Phew. That an experience you'd never forget. For your performance, you picked 'Survivor' by Destiny's child, and you were quite proud of your performance. But when the time came, your name wasn't called

At the auditions, you had met a blonde haired Irish boy, who you had quickly learned was named Niall, and you two had sort of stuck together.

He hadn't gotten through either and he made his way over to you, eyes red rimmed and watery. The two of you were turning to leave, when one of the management team made their way over and called out some names

"Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Y/N L/N"

Niall had turned to you and grabbed your hand, and the two of you had stumbled to the stage, with a curly haired boy with a beanie on his head, a tall boy who had sung a Justin Timberlake song and had blown the judges away, the boy who hadn't come to the dance session, a boy with a strong Doncaster accent and Niall.

As Simon spoke, the tall boy, Liam, put his arm around you, and so did Niall. You reciprocated and waited with bated breath.

When he said you guys were safe, and in a band, you let out a shocked gasp and felt your knees go weak, and the Doncaster boy, whose name you learned was Louis jumped and hugged you, and soon you were engulfed in a group hug.

From that moment on, it was the best thing that ever happened to you.

The 6 of you sharing a house together was CHAOTIC, but boy it was fun.

Out all of all the boys (except Niall) you became very close to Louis, who began treating you as another one of his sisters. Together, you two caused Liam a world of pain induced fun.

Speaking of whom, Liam absolutely adored you. Even though you could be crazy and fun, you were very shy in real life. Liam thought you were one of the kindest, sweetest, and most talented people he had ever met. He was always looking out for you, defending you when the producers wanted to make you wear skimpy clothes for views yes, x factor does that. Poor LM : (

As for Harry, you were a little younger than him, and he loved that he had someone to talk to about all sort of things, someone who was closer to him in age and maturity.

With Zayn, you had a wild dynamic where the both of you were shy, with bold voices. While he had a more badass personality with a voice that stunned the souls out of people, melodic and harmonious, you looked like one of the sweetest people on the world with the voice of a lion.

As for Niall, you two were probably the closest in the band. He had your back from day one, and ultimately, when it came to it, he was the one you went to for telling your secrets and for the occasional cuddle or hug.

You also trusted all of them with all your heart, having intimate heart to hearts with them, talking to them about anything and everything.

Rehearsals were also fun, and singing Viva La Vida was one of the best experiences of your life. You had an incredible voice, ranging from high to low, with an incredible amount of power in your voice.

The first time you sang Make You Feel My Love by Adele, Louis fell of his chair, while the others watched in awe. It was almost like you didn't even try to hit the high notes, they just came to you effortlessly.

You and Zayn were often given the high notes and you to had a sort of seamlessly perfect balance, the combined melody of both your voices was enough to put angels to shame.

When you guys placed third, you were sad. But you also knew that you weren't going to give up on the band. When you got offered the record deal, you were ecstatic. When What Makes You Beautiful went No.1, you did cry.

Touring was the best part, undoubtedly.

The Where We Are tour was your favourite, and so was filming alongside touring.

Your families like adoring each other, all of their siblings treating you like their own. (Girl talks with Gemma and Lottie and Ruth and Safaa, because YES)

Niall teaching you how to play golf, and Harry tagging along because,"Stop hogging Y/N, she's my best friend too"

Getting a hole in one on your first shot, while wearing heels at the golf course. Niall's jaw dropping while his friend bursts into laughter.

Liam teaching you to beatbox (big mistake) and regretting it when all you did was make weird swishing sounds and spit on him "Sorry Li" 'Ah well, I shouldn't have tried anyway, its hopeless" "Hey!"

Harry constantly reminding you he worked in a bakery, until you asked him to bake a cake for you and he bought a cake mix packet and somehow messed it up? "No thanks, I don't want food poisoning" "I tried!" "And failed, now clean up this mess. Some bakery you worked it"

Louis teaching you how to make the perfect cup of tea, and also how to constantly annoy Liam and Zayn. But also being a shoulder for you to cry on, and a person you could talk to no matter what.

Zayn being the biggest teddy bear for you, completely wrapped around your little finger. He could never say no to you, and quite frankly the others couldn't either. You wanted icecream at some ungodly hour ? He was getting his wallet. You wanted to go shopping in Japan even though management said you couldn't? He was already sneaking away with you.

Them being protective, holy hell.

God bless whoever dated you. They had to sit through 5 extremely threatening conversations, and then of course your parents or guardians as well.

It's safe to say you were single for a while.

Staying awake till 4 in the morning, recording or song writing, or sometimes just chatting.

Defending you from the ridiculous amount of hate you received, just for living your dream

One time, Harry found you crying over some stupid hate tweets, and Liam had to physically restrain him from kicking some ass.

Liam eventually joining Harry to kick some (verbal) ass on twitter.

Niall calling out hate accounts on stage and in interviews.

Zayn deleting your twitter for a few weeks, letting you heal, and protecting you from nasty haters.

Louis yelling and cursing at Paps that got too close, not hesitating to call them losers or idiots, and always holding your hand in tightly packed crowds or at airports.

All of them definitely got a little emotional when you spoke up about how much the hate got to you, and how you struggled with your body image and anxiety.

Louis talking about it in the One Direction film and tearing up.

Liam actually crying on camera

Zayn helping you overcome your nerves and anxiety.

Harry learning how to bake a decent cake and cookies to cheer you up on bad days (soft boii)

Always going to Niall with relationship trouble (Liam was your second choice) because he was the only one that didn't threaten them.

Niall being very worried when you went on first dates with your partners, staying up all night, till he was sure you were home.

Becoming a really good golfer and shocking them all because "Holy hell that was good" "how long have you been playing?" "About a year" "I beg your fucking pardon?!"

Always having someone to talk to and rely on.

Gaining 5 best friends, who would always be there.

🌌Recently, I’ve thought about how love is one of those emotions you cannot hide. It does not matter how much romantic content you aggressively beat the public with choose to release to the world, there is nothing more special and honorable than letting others know the specific context and worth that a person means to you.

Some of the most private couples, and close friends, cannot help, but directly express the sincere devotion and respect that they have for their partners.

Here are a few favorites.

Nikki’s birthday message to Ian: “You are my every dream brought to life. With our hands pressed together I know that we will always find our way home. You are a gift to this world, a teacher of light and a student of love. You radiate warmth in vibrant reds and deep orange hues. I often wonder what it would be like to see autumn arrive through your eyes. Here is to the next 65 years together, holding hands, strolling through the woods, still learning, still listening. Happy happy birthday…I love you.”

Justin to Hailey: “To my beloved birthday squish. My heart belongs to you. My eyes belong to you, my lips belong to you. am yours. I am so blessed to be yours. Life has never made more sense until you became my wife. I will never stop loving you, I will never stop holding you, and I will never stop protecting you. You my queen are more than enough for me and I will spend everyday making you feel like the queen that you are. As your grandma would say in her Portuguese accent ‘happy bursday baby’ love you until the end of time and then after that. :).”

Johnny message about Winona: “But Winona. It's different, she's my everything. She's my soul, my heart, my girl, my wife to be, my baby's mom, my leading lady. No one will ever fill her shoes. Trust me.”

Jessica [Alba] to her husband Cash: “You are the calm and voice of reason, always keeping things in perspective and seeing the beauty and light in every circumstance. I love you more than words could explain and I'm so proud to be your partner in life.”

Hugh to Deb: “Even at the Oscars, I walk out, I put my hand on my heart and I always look to Deb in the audience. Straight afterwards, I will not see anybody in my dressing room until Deb's been in. Because that is my foundation, that is the rock, that is the foundation of our family, and therefore my life.”

Alex’s inspiration behind Aurora Borealis: “I remember I was going through a dark time in my life, and out of nowhere came this beautiful woman. She (Josephine) was strong. She was kind. She was bright. I remember feeling like a million colors flashed through this sky of darkness I had been living under, and it was her. It was all her. She was all of the colors in that dark sky.”

Harry’s message about Caroline: “Please know I didn't 'dump' Caroline. This was a mutual decision. She is one of the kindest, sweetest people I know. Please respect that.”

Harry’s response about Cherry: Zane, “Who is the voice on the song?” Harry, “my ex-girlfriend.”

Olivia about her and Jason: “We have sex like Kenyan marathon runner.”

“He’s (Jason) so good with kids. ... I’ve never before experienced looking at someone and thinking, 'That’s who I want to raise a child with.'”

“I was on the dance floor and everybody was dancing around me and they seemed really happy, and I was just kind of standing there.” The comedian then walked up to her and said, “Whatever you’re looking for, you don’t need it.”

“There's still a shorthand that comes from being someone's closest partner, but I loved being able to just set him free, because he's one of the best improvisers in the world”.

Set a man free, eh? What, then, should the public call this wardenship babysitting unofficial adoption “relationship” that she has with Harry?

Jason’s message about Olivia: “[Olivia] is a combination of everything that I love about women — she's smart, strong, caring, beautiful and as funny as anybody I've ever known. She just has it all. It's like she's the most gorgeous Costco you've ever seen in your life. Early on in our relationship, I would sneak onto her Twitter and read through things she had written. I'd be like, 'This is awesome. She's awesome.”

Harry’s messages about Olivia: “If I was a girl, I’d have a crush on Zayn-“ Oops, sorry. Wrong person.

“Always in my heart-“ Oh sorry. Still wrong person.

“For the only person to have ever truly seen me beyond my flesh and blood and beyond the disguise-“ Whoops. Entirely wrong musician. Give me a second.

“I’ve always tried to compartmentalise my personal life and my working life.”

… It’s plausible that his hay fever may have flared up, here, and prevented him from understanding the question.

Let’s find another quote where he acknowledges Olivia, as someone apart of his personal life.

“Any assumptions on his love life are curtailed for his Dazed cover story.”

Maybe Harry was sincerely confused, as the journalist failed to word the question clearly?

Let’s look at Stern’s interview, where Stern cut the crap to directly clarify Olivia’s value to him (Harry).

“You fell in love on a movie set.”

“Uhh… how do I answer this questions? I had a wonderful experience getting directed by Olivia. Acting is kind of uncomfortable at times; you have to trust a lot. Being able to trust your director is a gift. That was very helpful. It meant for a really nice experience working on Don’t Worry Darling.”

Well, call everyone boo-boo the fools for assuming that the person, who has been on an insanity campaign to force people to believe you are her boyfriend, is only valued to you as a mere coworker, lover boy.

You could had, at least, praised her… I don’t know… I don’t know…. exceptional talent at evading responsibilities? Her unflinching willingness to broadcast her every cosmetic procedure, regardless of the negative effects still visible? Even, complimented her mentally stunted fashion sense would had lessen the humiliation blow.

Surely, the supportive “love of his life” could freely congratulate her man on one of his greatest achievements, as his other personal friends did. Olivia was never one to verbally suppress her feelings of someone she loved. She LOVED to chatter of how “blissfully, wildly, and hopelessly” in love she was with Jason.

Undoubtedly, now that she’s the “happiest she has ever been”, she wouldn’t hesitate to verbalize the source of that happiness, as well as writing and talking about the person who is responsible for it all.

Right?

Take Liam, whom Harry rarely sees, SM’s message to Harry for his Grammy win: “Congrats [Harry] on your Grammy win. What a huge moment, proud to be your brother."

And the supportive girlfriend? Nothing excessive. Just a personalized note celebrating her “boyfriend’s” talents and expressing her pride.

Olivia’s message: 🍉

Olivia’s messages about Harry: “my (unnamed, had to be written in by Vogue’s journalist) friend.” Harry styles is my best friend cap. Compulsively liking secondary statements written by strangers on SM. “Happy happy” (strangely showed NO NAME on the board), 👏🏼 when the album was released. Traditional acknowledgment post thanking him for his WORK in DWD, and “You know I can’t talk about that” to the TMZ pap.

Can’t, Olivia? Or contractually barred from doing so, as you don’t hesitate to steal coins from wishing wells, and collect dropped change in Hampstead to pay for the overflow of articles, pap walks, blinds, and “fan sights” that speaks the false narratives you, yourself, are blocked from saying directly.

As well as walking daily from Belsize to Hampstead to be spotted near one of his publicly recognized properties.

After comparing and contrasting their “expressions of love” against a broad spectrum of couples, private and public, platonic and romantic, including their own behavioral patterns, it’s safe to say that, as always, the 1 + 1 IS NOT adding to 2 with Holivia’s romance.

I mean, damn.

Even, the mentally deranged gf harries are allowed to freely post whatever they want about Harry.

Yet, the woman who “has made him feel so comfortable about having sex” is limited to likes, emojis, and only directly posting about him in promotion of the film he’s in?

Here are two honorable mentions that I thought Olivia, herself, should be reminded of, as they are her own words:

“All actors should experience public failure.”

“I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and NOT DEFINED BY ANOTHER PERSON.”

Interesting, indeed. Has her injections compressed her brain so much so that she has completely forgotten this motto? Start choosing your words wisely, Cockburn. For they may be used as instruments for your publicly undoing.

And, a special message from “king Harry” himself:

“I want a girl who respects herself. It means her standards are high and if I fit them then I’d be honored.”

….Yeah. If anyone is still convinced of the “romantic nature” of Holivia, use this cheat sheet to guide you. Getting unnecessary lost in the sea of chaos and confusion is not worth anyone’s time.

That’s all.

For everyone reading, I hope you all are doing alright.

WHAT WHICH BOY YOU SIMP FOR IN BNHA SAYS ABOUT YOU

—i.midoriya, k.bakugou, s.todoroki, d.kaminari, e.kirishima, dabi, s.aizawa

disclaimer: this is a generalisation and just a bit of fun. of course not all the descriptions will fit everyone so please take these with a grain of salt. if you are on the sensitive side, just sit this post out bcs i don’t want to offend anyone :( this also does not include EVERYONE in bnha so if you guys really enjoy this one, i will consider doing more!! enjoyyyy. slight nsfw disclaimer.

IZUKU MIDORIYA: first of all, i love you. you are the sweetest person ever. but sort your trust issues out. you probably don’t love easily, but once you do love someone, you put your all into it. you just want to love and feel loved. perhaps you have some sort of abandonment issues and liking izuku feels like a safe space. how could a sweetheart like him leave you?? exactly. unrelated but you probably are weird. you give me wheeze laugh vibes as well. your childish but in the best way possible.

BAKUGOU KATSUKI: are you ready to finally go confront your childhood traumas instead of using fanfics/fandoms as a form of escapism? you probably have a degradation kink im not even going to lie. you’ve developed a saviour complex but it’s honestly just a projection of what you wish someone would do for you. you treat your love for katsuki the way you wish others would treat you; loving you past all your flaws. you’re probably, honestly, the nicest, kindest and most selfless person behind the walls you’ve built up. i literally just want to hug you.

SHOUTO TODOROKI: you like hot men with trauma… there’s nothing wrong with that… haha. let me guess, you probably also like akechi, cloud, diluc, venti, xiao. you honestly just probably trauma bonded with todoroki and wish you could treat him better than anyone else in his life. once again PROJECTION. you are a big softy and love affection, but ironically, you are touch starved. you were always told you were mature for your age and definitely dealt with your issues alone. and it shows because you are insanely independent and strong minded. you give me an intelligent and playful vibe. the best of both worlds :)

DENKI KAMINARI: you’re just here for a good time, you know. you picked a boy who was good looking, dumb and flirty. lets be honest, do you lowkey want to feel superior to the people around you? you also self-insert into every scene denki has with jirou…anyways, you’re easily distracted, childish and annoying. you had a nightcore, fnaf phase when you were younger and i know it. you picked denki because you either want to dominate the shit out of him or let him dominate the shit out of you. there’s no in between. you always like those skinny musicians and those playful flirts who you’ll never get a chance with. do you like kaeya and childe by any chance? go touch some grass.

EJIROU KIRISHIMA: you’re a raging bisexual. you actual pick guys who won’t treat you like shit. respect is your number one priority from other people. you definitely like being chased or you like it in theory. unlike the others on this list, you don’t chase. you give me bad bitch vibes (regardless of gender). i feel like despite liking kirishima, you are extremely lazy. yeah, i don’t think he would find that very manly of you. regardless, you just want to be babied and cared for by your partner. you probably like rpg games, some sports and you have those aesthetic home screen layouts. you know the ones i’m talking about. i feel like you’d be incredibly sarcastic 24/7 and a lowkey crybaby :’)

DABI: is everything okay at home? you are one self destructive person. very similar to people who like todoroki, you just love hot guys with trauma. but you’re more spicy. you probably cry over his back story before going to read nsfw fanfics about him… pick a side you horny freaky fuck. lets be honest, you see broken people and think “yes, i can fix them”, right? please be safe out there. i would not even be surprised if you liked the joker or something. i feel like you’re a very fun person though. youre with whatever and love new experience. you are very open minded and always want to see the best in other people. i can’t imagine u being anything but a massive heterosexual… i’m so sorry. unless ur nb/male, then you’re a massive fruit.

SHOTA AIZAWA: daddy issues go brrrr. i’m joking, but seriously you definitely find figures of authority attractive. (not the police tho, fuck them). I feel like you find yourself liking all the “sensei’s” in every anime. do you like gojo and kakashi as well? to be honest, you probably kin aizawa more than you actually like him. i feel like you are probably super hard working once you put your mind to something. like, you’re just super passionate about the things you love! you are a lowkey attention whore and are a bit annoying. i’d say, you’re either super well put together or falling apart completely. you’re probably fruity as well. in conclusion, i love you.

[wolfstarlibrarian]

His finger hesitated over a picture of someone who absolutely couldn’t be real. He had long, dark hair that fell well past his shoulders and grey eyes that Remus thought must have been either contact lenses or photoshopped. High cheekbones and sinful lips the man looked like a model. Remus was not about to get catfished by a picture that was probably of someone famous that he just didn’t recognize. Besides, what kind of a name was Sirius anyway? It was obviously fake. He swiped left. Not today, Satan. “Hard pass on that guy, huh?” Someone said from above Remus. “Ouch.”

[viscountessevie]

Kiddo FCs for me:

Edmund: Kate goes into labour two weeks early when Anthony is in Parliament and he gets a message from Violet to come quickly. He just up and leaves, knocking a few people out of his way, races home on a horseback. Violet is there with her but Kate's in a lot of pain and screming for Anthony. When Anthony reaches home he just takes off his coat, rushes in, rolls up his sleeves and goes to sit behind Kate. Kate's leaning on him and they hold hands while she struggles to bring their child into this world. And obviously they cry when they hold Neddy. And everyone is waiting for news and rushes over to meet the newest Bridgerton and Violet cries when she hears his name from Anthony. Her baby now has a baby of his own. He's a sweet boy and he wants to be like his papa but is also wise and patient like Kate. He worships his parents and is their number one champion. Also since he's grown up in a home filled with love, he'll only settle for a love match in the future.

Miles/baby named after Kate's appa (season 4): Comes easier than Neddy but Anthony is taking no chances and wants to be there for the birth again. Of course Anthony refuses to leave Kate's side this time and is at home throughout her last few days of confinement. They are both better prepared for this one. Neddy is waiting with granny Violet and aunt Hyacinth. When he goes to meet his new brother, he runs up to his mama and asks if she's okay and if she was in a lot of pain. And he swears to protect his baby brother because he's the first born of two first borns duh. Miles is a funny baby, he sleeps and cries a lot but he always calms down near his mama, papa or Neddy. Sophie and Gregory are his favourites. Also, he's totally mama's boy.

Charlotte/baby named after Kate's amma (season 6): The easiest birth by far for the most demanding baby. This one is a total hellion like Kate and is stubborn af. She wants all the attention and the good thing is she gets it from her dad and her two older brothers who are even more protective that Anthony or Kate ever were. She's going to give Anthony a lot of grey hairs when she grows up to be the most beautiful woman anyone has ever seen but her parents are proud of how strong, smart and loyal she is. She loves her uncle Michael and is best friends with little Violet.

Oops baby girl/don't know if they'll name her after Mary (season 8): The sweetest little girl to ever exist. Her birth was the most difficult and Anthony cried for days because he really thought he was going to lose either Kate or this perfect little angel. She's everyone's baby now, people literally have her in their arms all the time, she's never put in her bassinet or cradle. And her favourite person in the world is her papa. She has Anthony wrapped around her little finger and she knows it too. She's also the kindest of the lot and reminds Kate so much of her appa!

Related to this ask and this was the essay in question ahaha.

Also I got a request to do Kathony Pregnancy HCs a while ago and that can be found here! Just for this ask and your brilliant writing, I'm going to call you Writer ✍️ Anon.

I mostly wrote about cravings and how Anthony and the kiddos interact with Kate while she's pregnant. I love all the extra details you've given here. Honestly I agree with most of them in terms of the pregnancies!

As for who they are as people, I've been reading so much of @hptriviachamp Trivia's Next Gen HCs and The Courtship of Charlotte Bridgerton series that it has become canon to me. So I do have to disagree with most of these HCs but you’re still valid for how you view the kiddos. 

My read is basically on who they are in the birth order as well as agreeing with Triv’s assessments of their love lives. There are some bits that diverge and that’s what I’m going to talk about here [Under the cut cos it got long lmao]: 

Edmund: 

As much as Kathony tries to raise him to feel loved and like he doesn’t need to have the weight of the world on his shoulders, he is still a first born and we’re all fucked up. We are after all the test children lmao and Kathony isn’t immune to making mistakes raising their kiddos. He wouldn’t feel as responsibility ridden as his parents did because he wasn’t parentified after losing one of them like they were but he is still very protective and feels responsible for his siblings. He’s also very eager for his title and responsibilities as a future Viscount. So personally, I think he is kind of a stiff always trying to be the ‘perfect’ Viscount 

And I agree with Triv that Anthony would go easy on him so as to not repeat history with having Neddy grow up too fast but Edmund sees it as his dad not trusting him to take over from him so cue Daddy Issues. He just wants to impress his parents and society, it takes a toll on him tbh. As far as love matches go, while he believes in it because of his parents I think kind of like me he initially ends up with a highly romanticised version of what love should be and has a lot of failed romances in his early seasons and as he hits his late 20s, he starts going for the older women and men - yes our boy is bi as fuck. 

This HC is fully credited to Triv but yeah I can definitely see him settling with an older woman, a widow and adopting her child. 

Miles or as I like to call him Madhavan: 

UO: I’ve hated the name Miles for Miles because it sounds so modern and just doesn’t seem to fit him as a name itself. So I’m taking this opportunity to rename him Madhavan after my HC for Kate’s dad’s name in the show is Madhavan (my usual go to name for him is Thaman but I wanted something close to Miles). 

Anyways he goes by Madha and this is where my HCs differ from Triv. I think he’s a PEAK middle child. While Kathony does their best with all the kiddos, I think Miles just tends to be overlooked at times solely because he liked to keep to himself as a kid and is more quiet (kinda like Frannie) so they think he’s independant and leaves him to his own devices. But he ends up feeling isolated in his own family so in his teens to young adulthood, he starts kicking up a fuss to get his parents’ attention. Boy definitely had a scandal or two. Eventually after talking it through with his parents, he mellows out. Meets a girl who actually sees him for who he is and they settled down with your usual picket fence. Most likely the only one of the Kathonys to have a couple of kids - maybe 3.

Charlotte/Charithra: 

So I adore her name but I despise the new Show!HC popping up that she might get named after Queen Charlotte rather than Kate’s mom so I AM REJECTING that energy. I’ve flipped flopped a couple of times on what her mom’s name would have been and it was always Chandra/Chandri/Charithra. Chandra sounded too old, Chandri was after my aunt but I didn’t like how it ended with an ‘i’ it looks like an incomplete name when written down lmao. And I think Charithra is a very pretty name and it also starts with Char like Charlotte tho I’d like to think Show!Charithra goes by Chari. 

So while I love Triv’s fic and her interpretation of Charlotte, I think Chari would be pretty different. Yes, she is another middle child and is discreet - I agree with Triv on that front but I think while she does go by the book in some aspect she is still an middle child and always needs to make her presence known. I think like Kate, she would be a very formidable and intimidating deb, she’s more subtle with her digs than her mom was. Definitely pansexual and has shacked it up with almost everyone in her season. Tbh, I don’t think she’d get married, I think she likes having her independence. I think she’d eventually retire to the country with her girlfriend - maybe they have the occasional boy toy here and there. 

Mary: 

She is BABY!! And OF COURSE she’s still getting named Mary, fuck the show canon, Mary is a present and loving step parent and the best of us. Kate is going to honour ALL THREE of her parents with her kiddos. 

Anyways like Triv said, Mary is Kate 2.0 a whole ass menace and while Kate was a little beaten down as the Eldest, Mary never had that responsibility and is PEAK youngest child. She constantly reads all the men for filth and is more direct than Chari is. Also she’s a funky little lesbian. The GC’s talked about this before but omg a lesbian version of Persuasion with Mary would be PEAK romance. But yeah she has this angsty romance with her wife before they get together and her wife is the only one who can get her to chill out a little but again she’s Mary and Kathony’s kid - she has no chill. Like Charlotte, she isn’t that interested in kids and can’t have them anyways being a lesbian and all and neither of them want to fuck a dude just to get a baby so they are the funky lesbian aunts who love treating their nieces and nephews.

As for family connections (lmao can’t believe I missed out that part of your ask til I read back everything): 

I think the Sharma-Bridgerton family are very close knit. While sometimes, they hid away their baggage (see: Edmund thinking his dad doesn’t think he’s worthy of responsibility and bottling up those feelings and Madha feeling isolated and not telling anyone til his shit ends him in hot water of a scandal.), they all do share their stories, days and talk about everything at family dinner. That being said with the siblings, I think Edmund and Mary would be really close (a lot of the eldest-youngest sibs are very close I wish I had that *cries*) while Madha and Chari are two sides of the same Middle Child Coin. 

I don’t necessarily think they default to Mama’s Boys and Daddy’s Girls and love their parents equally but there is a small preference and it’s alternating - so Edmund is PEAK Daddy’s Boy kinda like how Anthony was with Edmund I himself. Madha is close with Kate and goes to her first about feeling left out and looked over and she totally gets it cos we all saw how London treated her. Charlotte is PEAK Daddy’s Girl and his Princess because she was the only girl for the longest time and she had him wrapped around his finger since Day 1. Mary being Kate 2.0, definitely adores and idolises her mom and much like Edmund trying to be like his dad, Mary emulates her mom very often - albeit she’s more unhinged than Kate. 

As for the Cousins & Aunt/Uncles: 

So my personal HC is that Saphne, Kathony and Benophie are all very close because they all got married back to back and Simon, Anthony and Benedict are all buddies while Kate and Sophie are besties - Daph is close to them too but the sisters-in-laws have a closer bond since they are the only ones for the first decade. Then when John and Michael marry in, they are also close to Kathony because of Frannie (my personal HC is that Anthony and Frannie are the closest and she’s his fave sister). 

In that vein all four of these couples’ kids would be close and besties.  Solely based on age, I’d pair the following dynamics:  - Edmund, Belinda (both 1815), Amelia (1814), Caroline (1816) - Madha, David (1817) and Charles (1818) get up to alot of hijinks - Charlotte, William (1822), Alexander (1820), & Violet (1824) - also of course Saphne’s ABC are there to be older sisters to Charlotte and Violet its a vibe - Mary and the other babies, Edward, John and Janet. 

Bonus HC: Edmund unwittingly forms a group of all the first borns and get together weekly to snark about their annoying younger siblings lmao.

That’s my take on the Next Gen! Thanks for this ask Writer ✍️ Anon - can’t wait for your future ones ehehe

Aaron Hotchner x gn!reader

Word count: 705

Warnings: none, just fluff <3

This was probably the happiest moment of your life. You were getting married to the love of your life, Aaron Hotchner. The wedding itself was quite small, just close friends and famliy, held in Rossi’s back yard, it was perfect. Well anything would be perfect as long as it was with Aaron. You both decided that you would write your own vows, thinking it was a little more romantic than using the traditional ones. Also you would never pass up a chance to compliment him.

He looked so handsome in his suit (even though he wore a suit everyday, this was his wedding suit, so it was special) and he would say that you looked amazing as well. You stand together at the alter hand in hand as the officiant asks you if you would like to read your vows to Aaron.

“Aaron,” you look up to meet his warm brown eyes, “since the moment I met you, I knew you would be one of the most important people in my life. You were not only the most attractive man I’ve ever met, but you are also such a stong leader, showing so much passion and dedication to your team, an amazing father, giving Jack everything he could ever want or need, and the best friend or partner I could ever ask for,” you could feel yourself start to get choked up at the way Aaron blushed or the little smile on his face, but you were gonna get through this without crying, “There is nothing I want more than to be a part of you and your son’s life. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a parent to your child and a partner to you. I love you more than words can express, and I will for the rest of my life.”

You look up to see Aaron’s eyes misty and full of so much love and adoration. You squeeze his hand lightly as you smile up at him. The officiant looked to him, “Would you like to read your vows to Y/N?”

He took a breath, “Y/N, my love, you always say that you always knew I would be someone special to you, and that could not be more true for me as well. You are the most incredable person I have ever met. You are so deeply couragous, loyal, funny, and you show much care and love and understanding for me, even when I don’t feel like I deserve it,” he chuckles to himself a little, “and you are always there to tell me that I do deserve it.” that makes you laugh a little too,as you feel the tears back in your eyes at his sweet words.

He continues, “It has been one of my life’s greatest pleasures being able to love you, and the idea that you love me back astonishes me at times. When I see the way you have become a parent to my son and care about him like he is your own, there is no words to describe the love I feel for you,” at that the tears start to fall down your face, but you can’t be bothered to care, “Thank you for doing me the honor of marrying me and loving me as I do you for the rest of our lives.”

You stare at Aaron while the officiant finishes up the ceremony. You don’t know how you got the sweetest, kindest, cutest man in the whole world. “I now pronouce you united in marriage”

Aaron takes your face in both of his hands, kissing you urgently and deeply with so much passion. Your hands find their way to the back of his neck holding him close. Your lips never leave each other as you hear all the guest clapping for the two of you. when you finally pull qway you rest your forehead against his, trying to catch your breath as you look into his eyes.

He moves to kiss away the tears that still run down your cheeks. His lips kiss away tears of emense love and joy as you wrap your arms around your new husband. This was definitely the happiest moment of your life.
