#but yknow what. it's good enough. these are all mostly just practice

[monotone-artist]

fires vi with agender beam!!! + some extra stuff from when i was using her as people drawing practice. click the images to see them better oop

[id: a series of colorless digital sketches of vi and caitlyn from arcane. in the first picture, vi and caitlyn are sitting on a kind of short wall. vi is looking upward in thought, one hand palm-up in front of her, as she says, "you ever not feel like a girl or a boy but none gender left beef." caitlyn is next to her, watching vi attentively but looking the slightest bit confused. text next to caitlyn reads, "does Not get the reference."

the second picture is all kinds of sketches of vi. other than some basic head shapes, there are: a tiny chibi sketch of vi holding a tooth and looking cartoonishly sad with the text "bro my toothy;" a bust shot of her looking determined, with the text "flipped by accident whoops" (since her hair is on the wrong side); an upper body shot of her appearing to be sitting at a table, one arm crossed in front of her and her head propped up by the other, looking bored; and her in a family man death pose with the text "when you lose ur sis like 3 times."

the third picture is a few upper body shots of vi, all at a three-fourths angle toward the left with various neutral faces. the third picture is a half-built sketch of her speed-walking to the left, her stride purposeful and her expression fierce. her arms and clothing are omitted. end id]

spade anon back again

i was wondering if you had any headcannons about what it be like to sleep with the boys (not in THAT way but like, actually sleeping) which ones cuddle? which ones would much rather not?

HIII omfg this took longer than usual cause,,, school,,, break,,, but i got it done now!!! even threw in an additional Charles section ;p

Sleeping habits with the band + Charles Offdensen

Nathan Explosion

A cuddler. I have no proof it's just a gut feeling.

He's a diehard big spoon though. He thrives off looking down and seeing his s/o there in his arms...

Christ he's such a sap under those layers upon layers of brutal bullshit.

He's a guy who likes routine too. So, once you've slept with him enough it's a pattern he relies on your presence.

Spoiler: you better have a good reason if you're skipping out on nightly cuddles.

Overall a big teddy bear he's a cutie.

Pickles the Drummer

This guy is all over the place. A complete mess if you will.

Your nightly routines consist of making sure he's in bed, first of all.

He has a tendency of just passing out wherever. It's not too awful but about once a week you're going to have to hunt him down and find him face down in his own vomit in a hallway.

Due to this his s/o will grow a subconscious habit of a night time self care routine? Of sorts?

Getting him decently clean before bed just kinda becomes a thing.

And yknow what. He appreciates it!

He loves being doted on.

I think he cuddles but not a big Spooner.

He likes laying on his partner's chest or vice versa.

It's nice listening to your heartbeat, it's soothing. And on the flipside having you lay on him is like having a weighted blanket.

It's the shit for him!

Skwisgaar Swigelf

While I'm not the biggest believer of the whole Skwisgaar having like a 100 step self-care routine.

I do think he has one.

Just nothing insane. He does care on a small level. But one expensive face wash with benzol peroxide and a face mask every now and then is about it.

And you are absolutely being dragged into this. He holds his self image to a high standard and you are a part of that.

Now the actual issue is getting him to bed.

Sometimes he gets too caught up in his composing and practicing he neglects some basics to self preservation.

Just gently remind him it's good for him and to his benefit and you can get him to give in without much struggle. Mostly.

Sometimes he's adverse to touch. Nothing personal it's just a lot to him sometimes.

But he always need to be facing you in bed. If anything you need to be the last thing he sees before he shuts off his mind.

Toki Wartooth

Do I even have to say it?

Cuddles. 10000%

He doesn't care how, just that he needs it.

He is also a man of routine but in the sense that he has rituals.

He does things a certain way, and in a certain order.

If you follow his routine with him he'll love you until the world combusts. But he also understands if you have your own thing, just don't disrupt his.

He also can't sleep without you and it deeply upsets him if you can't.

You will have to make up for it with LOTS of cuddles later.

William Murderface

personal headcanon alert.

I think he has insomnia.

Due to a mix of paranoia and night terrors he does not get a lot of sleep.

He can have periodic naps during the day but that's it.

Though once he's dating someone, like, actually dating someone, he tries to fix his sleep schedule.

Going to bed with him always starts with a movie, he needs the background noise.

He'll keep it on a low volume if it bothers you, but you can not make him give up his diy asmr.

He likes holding his partner, and I think their weight helps him calm down enough to try and rest.

That does not mean it always works though. But he enjoys you being their and humoring him nonetheless.

If you curl up with him for a nap though, you basically have his hand in marriage.

Charles Offdensen

His sleep schedule is garbage, but you best believe he's making sure you get your full 9 hours.

Obviously, he won't overstep. You are an adult and capable of making decisions and taking care of yourself.

But you may notice subtle nudges if you start slacking. Say you are busy with work at home, he might persuade you to take a five-minute breather. Come lay in the bed with him. No, he did not light a lavender candle, yes, the weighted blanket is necessary, of course he's going to massage his sweetheart's shoulders, don't look too deep into it.

Of course he is a massive hypocrite, and brushes all of his partners concern off when it comes to his habits.

That does not mean he is completely unable to reason with though, especially if they're wanting to go to bed with him.

When it comes to cuddling, he is neutral on it. If it's something you want, then sure.

He is a chronic back sleeper though, so spooning is rare, but he happily offers his chest as a pillow.

i’ll wake you up | son hyeju

synopsis : she looked just like the moon.. maybe that’s why you took her gaze as an invitation to doze off.

pairing : stranger!hyeju x sleepdeprived!femreader

genre : fluffy! strangers to… NOT strangers? idk reader thinks hyeju is pretty

tags : subway, reader is TIREDDD, fluff, one shot, that’s basically it lmfao

word count : 1k (?)

12:29 am.

you thought that living so far away from your university was going to help romanticize your studies more, yknow! make you wanna glam up and actually wanna go on campus in the first place. turns out, after a couple of semesters, you were more than wrong,

and you realized that just now, especially since it’s, again, 12:29 am and you’re trying to get back home using public transport whilst also running on barely 2 hours of sleep!

being in this type of situation made you rethink your whole original thought process; romanticizing my ass, you thought, i don’t even have a car, who made me think getting into a university that far away from my home was a good idea??

as you pondered, you didn’t realize how your eyes seemed to close by themselves, almost like they were being forcefully shut tight by some invisible force; despite the numerous loud noises assaulting your ears, the ones that would prevent you from falling asleep in an average context, you were getting dangerously close to snoozing. you fought back and mentally slapped yourself to stay conscious, of course, not wanting to doze off in the middle of some practically empty subway, (especially not this late into the night). the thought of finally getting some rest, however, no mind the place, was very tempting. 

god, what you would’ve done to be in your bed at that moment.

as time passed, you were getting more and more absorbed by your own progressively ambiguous thoughts and felt your eyes get heavier, eventually falling deeper into a state of deep and extreme fatigue. 

it wouldn’t hurt to rest your eyes for a few minutes, right? you thought.

giving into the desire, you finally allowed your eyes to take a break and closed them, feeling almost immediate relief when you did.

until that relief turned into annoyance.

your eyes attempted to rest for what felt like only a small minute, the only thing preventing you from fully falling into a deep state of slumber being the movement of the transport and the stress of potentially missing your stop.

this was useless, only thing you could do was push through the whole ride and crash into your bed as soon as you get home.

when your eyes eventually fluttered back open, you raised your head back up and blinked away the sleepiness, allowing yourself to get used to reality, the setting and environment of the subway becoming familiar to you again. because, despite that break being short, it was enough for you to feel like you were dreaming. 

you cluelessly looked around, from the left to your right; the latter being the direction that your head was strangely leaning into. you were immediately greeted by an unexpected sight. 

a woman that looked about your age, but something about her somehow radiated maturity. her visage was coated with nothing but gentleness, yet her gaze was so strangely stern and tense, offering a balanced contrast to her face; she looked intimidating, yet had more than a welcoming aura. the girl’s facial structure was beautiful, too, but you mostly noticed how her long, wavy and healthy-looking black hair gracefully fell onto the slightly chubby sides of her face before you observed all of her other features with close attention. 

her mouth had somewhat of a downward triangular shape, it almost looked like a natural pout; you still could barely register anything in front of you at that moment, but you knew it was captivating.

man, you thought, she’s really pretty.

then, you realized that the reason why she was staring at you in that worried, puzzled manner.

you fell asleep on her shoulder.

“a-are you okay—“

before she could finish her sentence, that realization made you quickly snap back into reality and freak, very clearly embarrassed out of your damn mind, “shit, i’m so so sorry i didn’t mean to doze off like that, dear god i’m sorry—“

“i-it’s fine. i promise, it’s okay.” she waved her hands around wearing a subtle and compassionate smile, nervously trying to make you understand that what you did was completely harmless. 

you? you rubbed your eyes, groaning. you were still mentally slapping yourself for doing something that embarrassing; you rested your head and slept on a stranger’s shoulder. a stranger. it may not seem like that big of a deal, but to someone as socially awkward and anxious as yourself? this was suicide.

giggling to herself at your visible and quite frankly unnecessary distress, she slightly tugged on your shirt as a way to catch your attention. once she had it, she proceeded,

“you’re okay, it didn’t bother me at all, i swear. if anything, you probably need to get more hours of sleep if you just take naps on people’s shoulders like that.”

all you could do was look away in a guilty and embarrassed manner, she was right.

then, she spoke up again. “i’ll tell you what,” she smiled, before asking, “which one’s your stop?” 

you stumbled on your words, still slightly fatigued, before answering, “uh.. l-lampfield.”

“ah,” she said softly, smiling politely, “that’s my stop too. it won’t be a while till we get there, so.. you can sleep some more.” 

“but—“

“i insist. seriously don’t worry about it.” 

“o-okay… alright.” you shyly nodded.

she gently wrapped her arm around you and placed her hand behind your head, carefully pushing it onto her shoulder yet again. a sense of relief and comfort invaded your entire body upon being in small contact with her hands, especially when her fingers nicely massaged your scalp.

with every word she softly spoke, she lit up the entire dark subway with light. she radiated light with her presence alone; not sunlight, though… something more discreet than sunlight, something that quietly heals you and keeps you safe from the nearby darkness, unlike the sun that exhibits it for everyone to see. something like… moonlight.

yeah, you figured it out, that’s what she looked like. 

she looked like the moon. 

maybe that’s why it was so effortless to just fall asleep around her.

you let yourself get comfortable as you leaned against her for support. and before you felt yourself get sleepy once again, this time from her tender touch, you heard her same familiar voice place in a few words. words that made you feel safer than any lullaby ever could, words that made you wonder if you would get the chance to ever ask her name.

“i’ll wake you up.”

Dipper Pines relationship hc! ↟

Pairing(s): Dipper Pines x Gn!Reader

The only way a relationship with Dipper is possible is if you’re directly involved with the mystery shack

Bonus points if you weren’t Mabel’s friend who she introduced to him

You probably were interested or dragged into the super natural activities that the twins had stumbled into so that’s what got you close

Now, in the beginning of his crushing on you, it was definitely because you were into whatever nerdy thing he had to say 💀

You’d probably back him up to an extent and that definitely helped especially with people like stan and Mabel who team up against him to tease

Especially if you believe in him and choose to stick by him and help, then he’d definitely develop a crush.

If you’ve been buddy buddy then the sudden change in dippers demeanor is certainly a stark contrast

Now he gets nervous or even a bit hesitant at the slightest indication of, well, anything 🧍‍♀️

If his obvious acting isn’t enough to tell you that he likes you then Mabel would probably be the one to accidentally spill

Well regardless, if you approach him and confess your shared feelings he’d probably be so shocked 😭

He’d need some space and time to think it over because not only is he pretty young but he never even considered the possibility of you two being together

Once the two of you get together he’s the definition of awkward

I mean, sure you’re besties or whatever but when the more romantic things happen… he’s not the best

I mean he’s more logic based than anything so that’s to be expected but doesn’t stop him from getting whiplash every time 😭

Once the secret is revealed to Mabel she’s insufferable

She wants to tell everyone and once dipper just doesn’t care, she does 🧍‍♀️

Now, onto the actual hcs

Nothing much changes from when you were friends except for how other act around the two of you

Most times now grunkle stan will have the door open rule and you two are practically open targets for whoever feels like teasing the two of you

Even if dipper does as little as helping you out with something Stan and Mabel are having a field day 💀

Most times you and dipper just hang out whenever really, and there’s always a supernatural aspect of it

So there’s no surprise when the opportunity to actually do couple things arises

The two of you don’t really ever show physical affection

Mostly because people in your lives act like those teachers at school restricting pda-

But let’s go into that

Dipper doesn’t ever really participate in physical touch all that much besides when he’s forced to by Mabel but yknow

I mean sure, he hugs people sometimes but it’s different since it’s you

I mean, it’s romantic unlike his hugs with others

So whenever you do it’s honestly awkward 😭

Like he’s kinda stiff and you’re just there 🧍‍♀️ but it gets better dw 💀

He eventually just tells himself it’s “no big deal” and tries his best

I mean eventually it’s not a big deal when you show affection but that doesn’t make his blush any less obvious

The same thing when holding hands

Most times others just tease about the pda and stuff

I mean that’s to be expected but when you first hold hands he sorta refuses (?)

Eventually he just claims that his hands are to sweaty and he’s just not ready for that 😭

Ok ok so I know I’m painting an image of dipper that makes him seem unwilling to hug or give any form of physical affection

But that’s really not the case

Like whatsoever

He’s just pretty young and never been in a romantic relationship so he’s just awkward

Promise he’s not running away 😭

The fact you guys were close friends before really helps a good deal since it’s less awkward yknow?

Well anyway,

Dipper really appreciates someone who is there to back him up and like the things he does

If you’re calm and use emotions rather than intellect then honesty you guys are a pretty good balance

Especially since you help him see things he normally wouldn’t have

If you ever ever mention or walk into him singing ABBA I mean BABBA

Then he’ll scream 💀💀

Literally

He so freaked out and if(most likely) you’re also a fan then he luckily isn’t weird anymore

Ok so I’m sure anyone whose reading this (basically just likes dipper) has researched everything on him

So when you’re just hanging out or sum dipper turns to you and tells you his real name

And I know for some this isn’t even a big deal, like ??

But it’s cannon that dipper really doesn’t like his name and prefers to not even speak of it

And cmon, if you knew dipper you’d be curious on his name right? I mean atleast to some degree

So when he tells you it’s mason I mean it’s sorta anticlimactic but it’s good to know he trusts you

Plus, he just asks that u don’t tell anyone or call him that so 🤷‍♀️

-

While writing this I just realized how similar him and hiro are

[ilikeyoshi]

yknow what i had an epiphany this morning. i think a lot of the "older ppl treating kids like they're stupid assholes" problem comes from the well-intentioned place of, as we get older, we DO learn and grow, and when we are older than a given person we want to reassure that younger person that like, listen, you'll survive this, or you'll figure this out, or so on.

and because it's coming from good intentions a lot of adults just don't realize it's not actually that useful to kids or teens or early twenties ppl who need to be heard and listened to and helped NOW. especially because when we were younger, everything felt like dismissal, if not derision, but now we're older and we think we're being reassuring and helping younger people learn perspective.

but i can tell you it still looks like derision on the outside, and i bet you anything a ton of the adults who treated us like shit thought they were helping too. "it gets better," "it takes practice," "you'll figure it out," is all like, TRUE, but when you're 5 or 12 or 18 or 21 it doesn't address anything going on RIGHT NOW. around like, 26, "it gets better" started TO be helpful to me because i'd lived through enough shit that this is a real, tangible, proven fact, and not just something i have to trust even though it FEELS abstract and frankly doesn't actually do anything to help me with a problem Right Now.

like. you know how so many people genuinely don't expect to live past 16, then 18, 22, etc? i think this is a big factor into why it usually kinda stops after 22-25, because, well, you HAVE lived every time, and you HAVE found the truth in it gets better, you'll figure it out, etc. but before that it feels insurmountable. and frankly, for a lot of people, it IS insurmountable. youth suicide rates are absolutely insane.

i think i can see this bigger picture mostly because i've just thought about it a lot, because the shift from "everyone i know agrees we'll never treat kids the way adults treated us" to "why are all these decent, compassionate people treating kids like shit?" was so jarring and apparent to me, but if i dig deeper i've fallen for a lot of little traps too. it used to annoy the shit out of me when younger people disregarded anything i said, until i stopped and realized all i WAS saying was, "it gets better," and not only does that not help or solve anything Right Now, but it (not inaccurately) implies that this isn't a Real Problem, it'll solve itself, you'll be fine. and that feels so belittling and demeaning and dismissive when you're younger and you just haven't lived through as much shit yet. i remember being told shit like this! it feels like no one cares. it feels like i'm not Allowed to be hurt or upset or angry until i'm old enough that any problems i still have become real to other adults. it SUCKS.

and ironically i figured out why this kind of reassurance—which has its place and is absolutely useful and good in the right contexts!!—sucks when you need help or relief NOW through a friend who was going through something i went through when i was 13. like. to me, this was already proven as Things People Can Survive, but to my friend, this was the first time it was happening. this had never BEEN survived by them before. they were almost 30 when we had this conversation!

and it made me realize how patronizing and useless "it gets better" sounds when you've never even SEEN better yet, and even if you had, what good is "better later" when you're hurting now? i think kids get SO MUCH "it gets better" and not nearly enough "help now" that of course it feels like dismissal and excuses and resentment. and if we as the adults who have survived things aren't careful, it CAN literally at its core BE those things. it sure was for me!

edited to add: like i think the biggest thing i see happening is kids being treated like stupid dramatic jerks for Feeling Things. and i think a lot of these kids would be a lot more receptive if they were ever told, "hey, the feelings matter. even if in 5 years this doesn't hurt anymore, it hurts now, and that deserves to be acknowledged and helped now." like that'd often what i wanted at least. i almost didn't care if it stopped being hard later, it's hard NOW, it hurts NOW. you survived it, great, how do i survive it? what did you DO to survive it? what would you do differently to survive it now that you're older?

~ theater shows discussion ~

properly discussing each show my high school has done since i've been there :3 (and ones to come next year; aka my senior year). based purely off of reasons. not based on how they were/will be casted unless that plays a MAJOR part in why not to do the show.

this will be updated as shows occur <3 (aka the senior year ones will be updated cus they aren't set in stone). also no hate to our director if he sees this. i just need to genuinely yap about why i think we should do certain shows.

last year; (my sophomore year)

frozen jr; it was a perfect show to start off the school's theater company and begin to get jr high and older involved in the plays. it was well planned and the costumes were wonderful. everything worked out pretty nicely and was overall fun. there were no downsides. while the cast was pretty big, it didn't feel overwhelming.

midsummer night's dream; again, a fun show to do for my first year there. i wasn't expecting the role i got and was expecting to be cut but i wasn't. the cast was small and tight knit but that was perfect because it created no drama. enough people to fit the roles + extra fairies to create a vibe.

beauty and the beast; an appropriate show for the ages of everyone involved. gender didn't matter in most roles and it even actively encouraged some more guys to audition and get themselves in the shows. it was pretty nice minus some of the drama (all of which ended up resolved well). however, the director didn't give the silly girls their bow together which made us feel like we weren't as important as he wanted to show us to be. he gave everyone bows (even minor characters) minus us. also he doubled the three in the movie into six. and then double casted it. (i genuinely do love double casting but yknow. that's a lot of silly girls.) still really fun overall.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ this year; (my junior year)

crucible; eeeee a more risky show but overall really fun and powerful! i love learning about the salem witch trials and by doing this show i connected more with a topic i already found an interest in and created something (in my opinion) entertaining. the cast was wonderful and no drama really occurred because like midsummer, it was a tighter knit cast. and the director was able to give more people an opportunity by including an ensemble to be in the court scene, giving others more chances to be included. also i barely had any lines so i was chilling a lot of the time and enjoyed myself. i didn't know who to try out for and at first was a bit disappointed in what i got but i learned to love it, plus i memorized like all of act one while i was there. while it did stir some controversy amongst some parents, those who saw it did enjoy it. especially since we warned them not to take their children.

annie jr; we have a cast of mostly girls, as most theater departments do. therefore, this was a perfect show to do. there were so many orphans and since it was an all girls orphanage, it was practically one of the best shows for us to do. the only problem was that most of the orphans were older which made the older kids feel like they wouldn't be able to get any of the other roles. (like they couldn't get named orphans or annie because they were too old.) obviously they could get the adult rules but still. it was still a really fun show (even though i almost died multiple times during hard knock life. and didn't even get to perform at the end anyways.) but i watched it on the opening show and really enjoyed it! no drama (minus a couple comments in rehearsal but it got fixed so all was good)

taming of the shrew; i'm going to be honest. i have no idea because i was not in this one. this show was kind of the moment im like 'okay im going to take a break because i've done a lot of shows in a row and i'm drained.' but overall i think it is pretty good for our high school to do!

little shop of horrors; this show has yet to be done by us and the cast list comes out tomorrow. i do think it is an appropriate show for us to do though and i am excited to see who gets what. however.... director PLEASE allow gender bent casting. seymour can be played by a girl, it's not crazy. like if they have the talent CAST THEM. PLEASE. okay. sorry im biased a little because my pookie is the best but yknow.. .also though, im actually so confused on what my director is thinking and i genuinely want to know. he says not to copy the og performers when portraying a character but yet he's going to give the audrey the cheesy blonde wig and is going to make her talk and sing the exact same way? like i understand but also it feels so hypocritical.

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

next year; (my senior year)

legally blonde ; AHHHHHH I wanna do this show so so so bad! i wanna be either enid, elle or paulette!! i think it's perfect for our school because we have a lot of females auditioning and legally blonde has a huge female cast. we have some diversity so it wouldn't be like casting all white girls and it would just be a super fun show to do! idk i feel like it'd be the best choice for us and it wouldn't create much controversy because it doesn't have a lot of problematic moments. also again director if u cast my pookie as emmet pleaseee cast me as elle. we have chemistry (despite 100% not being interested in each other like that). anyways ya this choice is better than music man for our school. PLEASE. also this would be a dream senior year show frfr.

music man (if we don't do legally blonde); okay. i understand our director wants to get more guys into the theater but here's the thing. this school is new. if we want a mostly male cast, it's going to take us a couple more years to build the program to do that. casting this show would probably be fun but also the girls would be fighting for their lives even more than usual to try and get a role. and idk it just feels weird to not use the talent you do have.

little mermaid jr; this feels like a good show for our school. i dont have much to say but i'd be fine performing in this show for my senior year. no critics on this one.

play that i don't know the name of yet; i don't know what it is. so im unable to form an opinion. but i hope it's clue or the play that goes wrong.

oh no, I'm sorry. I didn't ask to try and get you to give information about yourself you'd rather keep private. I personally don't care what anyone's ethnicity on here is. I wanted to ask that because I wondered about the thought process behind the renaming of mixed anglophone trans people. Also was thinking about the potential societal pressure mixed trans people might feel to conform to some degree when renaming themselves. I know some immigrant parents give their kids local names to fit in

so I thought maybe t. people do that too and wanted to ask you that. Tho I realize my question wasn't clear on that. I don't think you need to worry about talking abt your ethnicity tho. Atrocities sure, EVERY people have a history of them. They're always committed by a group of people tho. It's never a defining trait of an entire population. You shouldn't have to add a disclaimer like that. If people online or where you live have made you feel bad about that I'm sorry, but they're blockheads. or not just mixed people but also 2nd gen immigrants and such. well it figures that people would consider naming themselves in their other native languages as well. I guess the everyday racism can be too much when coupled with the transphobia. I don't think you are a coward at all.

Oh no don't worry, you're good, it's just that I'm being careful for general internet safety reasons/not being visible to parents or employers here. I don't mind sharing my naming process in more detail (I'll add it under the cut in case it answers any other questions you had).

The disclaimer was definitely me being hypervigilant because of tumblr being tumblr moreso than from actual bad experiences that have happeend to me. Generally people don't even know the history of the area well enough to use it to justify racism against Turks, but I have seen it happen a few times. I mostly just don't want to be associated with Turkish nationalists, but yeah it really isn't something anyone should have to worry about when saying what ethnicity they are. I do think that if, say, Kurds or Armenians hate Turks that's kinda justified though.

Anyways I hope this helps answer some questions? I can't say racism and transphobia weren't things I thought about, but I pass pretty well as cis and white, so they were probably less significant than for some others.

Funnily enough, I think my dad (Turkish) who actually wanted to give us more typical English names as kids but it was my mom (white) who was like "nooo it's so much more interesting to give them Turkish names" and didn't really understand why he was apprehensive about it until we started like, getting shit at school for it lol. 2000s islamophobia + elementary school kids parroting youtube and all that lmao

I actually didn't really have memorable incidents in high school, just everyone mispronouncing the name to a point where I just kinda stopped bothering to correct everyone. I was probably less bothered by that than most cis POC would be, since it wasn't a name I really intended on keeping anyways. I did consider whether or not I should go with a Turkish name, but I was mostly just like "man this is annoying, I don't wanna have to explain how to say my name all the time" yknow? I also didn't feel particularly strongly about wanting to keep a Turkish name since like... my parents had some bits of Turkish stuff around at home, but I can't speak the language and I wasn't really raised with distinctly different cultural values or religious practices from the average white kid. It's not that I don't think it's important, and I understand why it's important to a lot of other people, but it didn't feel critical enough to me to have a signifier to everyone about it.

(Plus, uh. Kinda heavy but my mom was catastrophizing at the time about how me transitioning would impact the family and threatening suicide if people found out that I was trans and traced things back to them, so I definitely didn't want it to be anything that would give hints for that.)

Michael was actually an impulsive compromise with myself around not outright kin naming (Mikaela -> Michaela -> Michael) lmao. I don't regret it though; it's been so fucking funny having a common name so I can get online "hate" messages like "why is your name Michael" and so friends can send me new shit like this regularly

[broadwaytheanimatedseries]

HEY SHUT UP IM BACK AT IT AGAIN LETS GO

So im thinking he takes mostly after the mime aspect, really committing to the bit and only very rarely cheating with invisible items, mostly he uses this method to practice at home (whether that's an actual apartment or a secret hideout is TBD) and does actual mime work for his acts, both criminal and genuine performances for entertainment purposes. Obviously his criminal career clashes with the clown code so he can't register as an official clown, but he still puts on shows at Arkahm Asylum for the inmates sometimes, he doesn't really get sent there himself he just likes busting into the place. At first it was to annoy Jazz at work but he's become something of a favorite to a lot of the regular rouges there.

Now the thing about Danny is that Mime is a weird vibe for him to go with, right? I mean we know Danny, the guy cannot stop quipping to save his half life! So what's the deal? Why mime? Can't just be the black and white aesthetic right?

Well, I posit to you, dear Phandom: There's a very good reason why Dan only developed his ghostly wail when he did, and Danny should not have been allowed to develop his so soon.

It is made a big deal out of that he's even capable of this at the age of 14, but it is a power born out of necessity and desperation in its case and like a lot of drastic measures, it takes its toll.

Not only is this ability a strain on the rest of his ghost power, as we've previously seen it physically drain his energy, but it also wasn't meant to be used by anyone with a physical, mortal body. That's why Dan is able to develop this ability with seemingly no backlash, he takes the time to get to know his new form and learns how to harness its power to the fullest, studies his strengths and weakness and only then unleashes this destructive new power.

Danny didn't have the time to do all of that, so when he realized what he had been doing, how he was slowly destroying his vocal chords, he had to make a decision before the choice would be taken from him by his body's continuing deterioration.

Does he continue using the ghostly wail and eventually destroys his voice as Fenton, destroys his human vocal chords allowing only Phantom to be able to speak? OR! Does he take a vow of silence as Phantom, never again using his ghostly wail or speaking a word in his ghost form, so that Fenton could keep his voice?

Fenton only ever had his voice, and now he had Phantom too, but that couldn't always be relied on and was too often a hindrance as much as it was help.

So Danny made a choice, but that didn't mean he'd stop using his powers to help, in his own feral way.

He recalled enjoying the freedom of being a circus act, just not exactly loving the not freedom of being mind controlled into it, and seeing as the truth of his origins had come to light he figured he could lean into both the comedy and the darkness, become a goth clown, Sam would love it!

Gotham comes to know him as a whispered shadow, much like Batman once was when people weren't sure if he was even real.

Their Silent Knight.

(I don't have a concrete name for him yet, that's just what Gotham calls him the way Batman is the dark knight, but one name I'm playing with is Dead Air. Yknow cuz like, aerial stunts, and also ghosts, and also synonym for silence? There's precedent for names like that with Deadman... maybe he should be Deadair? That don't look right to me tho... anyway, workshopping it!)

He uses his powers of speed strength and flight to pull of literally impossible feats of acrobatics that make Dick jealous, ice and ecto blasts make for easy slapstick and can be shot discreetly enough that really only the bats and even then, only the bats who are actually there to witness it happen would ever notice, as ecto activity has a hard time showing on camera fully in tact if it even showed up at all.

And despite never using his voice, he never had an issue expressing his sass and roasting both bats and rouges through miming alone.

Anyway yeah that's all for now, let me know if you want more of this AU!

I found a chart for some simpler clown breeds in case anyone was wondering about the breed of their beloved clown companion(s)

(I don't know who to credit as this has been re-posted on many platforms many times)

Performance Review

“Babe!” you squealed with excitement, practically skipping over to your husband’s desk as soon as the elevator doors opened into the bullpen. “Babe babe babe!”

Faking an exasperated sigh, he took his reading glasses off and absentmindedly threw them onto the desk, turning his attention to you and noting the cute frown on your face. “How come you came in all excited but now you’re lookin’ at me like that?”

“Because you have to be more careful with these, Jethro,” you admonished him, delicately folding his glasses and giving them a little pat after placing them next to his beloved coffee mug. “You’ve got beautiful eyes and I don’t want you straining them.”

“Are you my wife or my mother?” he grumbled in response, stretching his hands toward you to pull you in for a kiss. Instead, you used two fingers on his forehead to push him back, disgruntled.

“Why would I kiss you after you just compared me to your mother?”

“I wasn’t comparing you, just saying that- nevermind,” he shook his head, laughing at your antics. “Now cmon, what’s got you all excited?”

A sudden blush crept across your cheeks and you found yourself growing shy. “Maybe I shouldn’t say,” you mumbled, nibbling anxiously on your lip.

“Y/N,” he drawled out, squinting at you and trying to discern just what was going on in that head of yours. “I know everything about you, hon. How bad could it be?”

“Well not quite everything,” you clarified, trying to muster up enough courage to admit your deep, dark secret. “It’s just- well I’ve been- I started a blog online where I write stories about you and people really like them.” You rushed out your admission of guilt as fast as possible, swinging your hands up to hide your face.

“You did what?”

Peeking out between two fingers, you smiled sheepishly at your husband. “People really like cop shows and they especially like the handsome men on them, so I just thought I’d provide some clarity as to the real thing. But I write it as fiction!” You were quick to clarify, grimacing at the shell shocked look on his face.

“You… write about our cases?” he quirked one eyebrow up.

“Not exactly,” you countered, moving behind him to massage his shoulders, a trick you had learned early on when you were dating that turned your man into putty beneath your fingers.

He hummed in appreciation, closing his eyes and letting his head fall back against his desk chair. “Then what?”

“Sometimes I write about our dates, yknow how sweet and romantic you can be despite how tough you are on the job.”

“Y/N,” he repeated your name, opening one eye to glance up at you. “I interrogate people for a living. I can tell when you’re skirting around the truth.”

“Okay! Okay,” you huffed out, steepling your fingers together and pressing them against your mouth. “I maybe kinda sorta mostly write about how good you are in bed?” Your voice ticked upward in anticipation and you closed your eyes, readying yourself for a patented Jethro Gibbs tirade™️.

Your eyes flew open at the sound of choked laughter and you smacked your hand against his chest, indignant. “Don’t laugh, Jethro!”

“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” he managed to apologize between his hearty chuckles, curling a hand around your hip and pulling you close to him. He slipped your phone out of your back pocket and used his fingerprint to unlock it, something you were impressed he recalled how to do despite refusing to use a “PDQ” just a few years ago. “Which one of these is it?” he asked seriously, finger hovering above the various apps on your home screen.

You clicked on the colorful little “t” for him, hesitantly navigating to your blog.

Slipping on his reading glasses once more, he squinted at the screen before clicking on “# jethro gibbs”

“You couldn’t come up with a character name?” He frowned up at you playfully as you stood by his side, and you shrugged in response.

“Takes me out of the story,” was all you offered by way of explanation. “Are you.. actually interested?” You watched his eyes run over your page, skipping down to the header titled “NSFW” and a blush once again crept over your cheeks.

“Jethro,” you whispered, appalled at his boldness. “You can’t read it here, it’s literally not safe for work!”

“Shush,” he admonished you in return, pulling over another chair and patting the seat to indicate you should get comfortable. “Consider it a performance review from HR.”

[sarabehaveokay]

Things I hope to see in the next season of Cobra Kai:

I GUESS SPOILERS FOR SEASON 5

Hector aka Miguel’s dad returns : Opens a door for Johnny and Carmen’s relationship to develop when it’s her past lover that reenters her life. Johnny’s past already made an appearance now it’s Carmen’s turn. Maybe he appears to be a nice guy/ a changed man now that he knows he has a son. Maybe miguel is still vulnerable and in denial enough to buy into his bullshit even for a little while. Maybe he will use miguel in his “businesses” once he sees what an asset he could be based on his fighting or smthg. All in all i want to see this dangerous man in action like don’t tell me he is, show me. Like him telling miguel about what happened in Ecuador and running from the FBI feels like a tease and it’d be a waste to leave him in the dust.

Step away from the plot for a sec and focus on the characters’ growths: i feel like this season too many things were happening like they’re setting up for the big match and neglecting what could be important character arcs and journey. Like Tory this season, yes we see her struggle in Cobra Kai but I want to see her battling this and coming out on top. See her contemplating returning the trophy, wanting to tell robby, seeing how Devon is getting poisoned by Silver and Sensei Kim; things like that. Same goes for all of them especially the teens like the adults i feel they’ve mostly sorted things out this season. Namely Daniel. Oh and seeing Johnny settle into becoming a dad. A good better one, i want to see that development.

Robby and Miguel being awkward brothers: it’s still weird to me how they can just let go of 4 seasons worth of bitter rivalry and miscommunication like with a snap of a finger. Maybe despite their shared interests in girls, they have different interests and hobbies and basically just them having the chance to have a heart to heart where they actually talk it out yknow. Maybe robby can confess how he felt jealous of miguel’s relationship with johnny and maybe even confessing how he’s scared he might feel the same towards the new baby or that johnny would let them down again. Maybe (most likely) miguel would also confess his jealousy of robby having a present father and confessing what happened in mexico with his dad. Then they’ll comfort each other and be like they have each other’s backs and all. We saw protective miguel maybe we’ll get protective robby too.

Prime Miguel: this boy has been through way too much for him to lose another tournament. Since I hope his father would have a part in the tournament -whether he’s partnered up with a dojo or is a judge or something- it would be the time and place for him to show his dad that he shouldn’t mess with miguel. I want to see him tap into that ruthlessness and confidence he had in the first season of cobra kai but more refined now that he has had more practice and more styles and sensei than before. Right now I don’t think he has found his balance like Hawk but thanks to his father, he will and he will be unstoppable.

PRACTICAL LIMITATIONS ON EXPERIMENTS AND DISCOVERY by Senju Tobirama

- should be replicable

- should then be replicated to ensure reliable results, and further replicated in a variety of scenarios or with a variety of subjects

- desired outcome and most likely calculated income should each be worth the time and resources spent to reach that outcome

- should benefit the clan now or in the future

- must be possible to know the outcome or results. ideally should be observed or experienced firsthand but if not then should be obtained secondhand (seals or human subjects are preferred for this outcome, depending on the experiment in question)

- any human subjects should not be excessively compromised in the course of the experiment as this would affect their ability to accurately relay observations

- likewise human subjects should be as informed as possible about the methodology and expected outcome, to ensure they do not disregard potentially important data and do not unknowingly hinder the procedure

ETHICAL LIMITATIONS ON EXPERIMENTS AND DISCOVERY imposed by Senju Hashirama

- yes please make sure any human subjects know exactly what is meant to happen. also what to do if things go wrong and what you expect may go wrong

- human subjects must consent! if they don't consent find someone else!

- use animals for anything that needs a living subject but is likely to fail or kill them or cause damage that can't be fixed

- i thought the other point covered this but touka says it doesn't say it clearly enough. so. do not permanently harm or permanently incapacitate or kill any human subjects. 'harm' refers to all forms of harm not just physical. please don't traumatise your subjects

- if animal subjects are badly messed up by an experiment a) don't do it again if it can be avoided b) don't leave them in pain!

- don't use enemies as human subjects. do not use prisoners as human subjects

(Aside - T: why? H: (bc ethics?) uhhhh it would damage our reputation and then we wouldn't be able to get as many clients. also they'd probably lie to you abt their feedback T: ...understood)

- if you are testing something you intend to use on enemies please consider that your human subjects are NOT enemies. see previous points. get approval from at least two people who do not work in a/the lab for your methodology regarding testing inventions/techniques/jutsu intended for use on enemies

- sage's sake stop pissing off the shinigami!! no new techniques regarding the already dead or yet to be born. stop it. no more time techniques either or anything to do with changing seasons or gravity or. just. stop messing with basic laws of the universe tobi please before my hair goes as white as yours

---

Please note that that is IT as far as the limitations go lmao. Tobirama does not answer to any sort of ethical board or anything and unless it's "something he intends to use on/against enemies" he doesn't have to get ANYONE'S approval for his experiments at all really

Because this is during the warring clan's era, Hashirama's "no enemies or prisoners" mostly means that any time Tobirama needs/wants a human subject he has to experiment on his own clanmates. Because Tobirama started experimenting when he was a tiny prodigy I bet his clanmates would be like, way too blasé about it too

Also please note that whilst Hashirama tried to add some more limitations, he did not think to amend Tobirama's "don't cause human subjects too much pain otherwise their feedback won't be coherent+reliable", he only added "human subjects must consent"

Which means that if Tobirama can find a clanmate who agrees to a potentially v painful procedure then the experiment can be as fucked up as Tobirama deems necessary, as long as it doesn't compromise the other Senju's ability to give feedback (how good is your pain tolerance random Senju? yknow. for Science) and any damage is fixable

thinking about the "consensual but not safe or sane tag" but like. what if instead of referring to sex it was referring to Tobirama's dubiously ethical science?

Imagining a fic/universe in which Tobirama is actually pretty well liked by his clan because he invents so much cool stuff they can then use (seals, jutsu including healing jutsu, knowledge, miscellaneous inventions) but you know, Tobirama needs to test things out sometimes. Theory is all well and good but ideally you don't want to be testing something for the very first time when you actually NEED it to work. But the ethics are. Dubious

Like he'll make sure he's certain of the theory before he does anything, and if applicable he will try to test it on mice or something before leaping to human testing. But if animal testing would be difficult/impossible for a particular invention (including diagnostic or healing jutsu, and some combat jutsu) he WILL just jump straight to human testing. Also sometimes "certain of the theory" means "I am certain one of two things will happen here, one of which is the desired result and the other...Isn't."

When talking human experimentation he prefers his subjects to be allies if possible. This is partly because of Hashirama (he assumes Tobirama wouldn't do anything too unethical/harmful to their allies, which may or may not be a flawed assumption but so far hasn't been an issue) but mostly because Tobirama is like. Well. One of the main advantages of testing something on humans is that they can give me coherent feedback on exactly what they experienced/felt/etc,but if the human in question is a prisoner or captured enemy they'll probably just fucking lie to me about it and that would impede further research quite significantly. Nah. Best stick to allies as test subjects

I want to say this is a universe in which a) because naruto-verse is so anachronistic and what people know is further complicated by jutsu vs technology vs keeping secrets, Tobirama's first step in helping the Senju clan develop the more complex healing jutsu was "figure out anatomy"; AND b) rumours abound about Senju Tobirama being an evil mad scientist who aims to steal bloodline limits and experiments on prisoners and there's always screaming coming from his lab... most people either fully believe this or are like "I'm sure he doesn't do any unethical experiments or test anything on humans or hurt anyone at all ever (except in battle/missions)" both of which are, of course, wrong. Just, in opposite directions

Anyway

Scenario in which an insignificant Senju is captured by another clan (Uchiha? or would it be funnier for them to learn secondhand?) and one of the first things the captors are discussing is after stripping them of weapons etc and possibly changing their clothes (look its pretty standard practice to have ninja wire, senbon, etc hidden in your clothes, it's a BAD IDEA to leave a prisoner in the clothing they had prior to capture) is "hey what the hell are these scars about?? were they tortured before or something??"

(okay pronouns are getting confusing with using plural they for captors+singular for prisoner+he for Tobirama so I'm deciding the prisoner uses she/her for sake of easy comprehension with pronouns for now)

And so at some point they question the prisoner and she's p out of it (concussion and or drugs and or shock and or genjutsu so she answers p easily she's like "which scars?"

and whoever is leading the questioning goes, "well, for starters, these scars here. when were you tortured and who by? how did you escape? (subtext: is this smth we need to be aware of/take into account and also how do we stop you escaping us the same way?)"

and she pauses a moment because what "I've never been tortured?? this is also the first time I've been captured. embarrassing really. normally people just try to kill me s'not like I'm important"

and the leader goes "..okay. how did you get these scars then?" whilst another of their group talks over them to say "wtf do you MEAN you've never been tortured it looks like someone cut you apart!"

and she goes "lab day :)"

and the leader takes a hint from the interruptor's wild gesturing to press "...how does a 'lab day' entail being cut apart?"

and she, alarmingly casually given shes talking about her own insides, clarifies "well, anatomy studies. duh. hard to study the insides of a person when the outsides are in the way, yknow?"

alarmed silence

"just cut...there, and there", jerking her chin towards two horizontal scars on one arm, "line between them..." there is indeed another scar connecting them, like a poorly proportioned H, "..and then pull the skin back to see underneath."

more horrified silence

"like flaps! or the pages of a book!" she continues (un)helpfully, "and then you draw out what you see under the skin, ideally with annotations and stuff. we've got some pretty good charts now"

"...and you say you've never been tortured before."

"nope!"

"and you don't classify that as torture because..?"

she's all blank confusion

"torture is damage or genjutsu or emotional pain inflicted by an enemy with the intention of extracting information and/or causing a victim to suffer," she reels off by rote. "that, another jerk of chin towards the scars in question, "was none of those?"

"...right."

"well I guess technically it was an attempt to extract information, yknow, the information being 'what does the inner arm look like in this spot', but if that alone classified it as torture then every conversation and observation would also be classified as torture, so..." she's still really out of it and getting distracted

"..of course. so your captor wasn't intending for you to suffer, even though you still have scars even now?"

"I mean, this was like. five months ago. I scar real easily but I also heal pretty well so those ones should be almost invisible in maybe three years?" she frowns belatedly processing "hey! captor's a bit harsh. I only had any restraints at all because I get real fidgety real quick and I kept moving too much when I tried to see what was happening. not a good idea to move around when someone's got their hands in your insides. my cousin is way better at staying still and still seeing what's going on, lucky bitch, so doesn't have to deal with restraints at all"

"you were conscious when this happened."

"yeah?"

"surely if they didn't want you to suffer the easiest option would have been to just knock you out until you had recovered from the.. injury. keeping you awake and not suffering, as you insist you werent, seems far more complicated"

she's kind of confused by this "well, yeah it was sort of complicated to figure out and implement and stuff but if I wasn't aware that wouldn't be nearly as useful?"

"...what"

"well. in this PARTICULAR case I guess it didn't really matter but USUALLY on lab days being aware is helpful. tobirama-sama says one of the top reasons to use human subjects is you can actually get active feedback on how they're affected since they can just tell you"

one of the interrogators, somewhat further from her and (mistakenly) too loudly not to be heard "god fucking DAMNIT I thought those rumours were exaggerated"

Enhypen as your Best Friend: Jake edition

Check out other members’ versions too: Heeseung | Jay | Sunghoon | Sunoo | Jungwon | Ni-Ki

Is so kind, caring and selfless that he makes you feel like the spawn of evil or something.

“Jake, what the hell? You have all these cards, you could have won instead!” You shriek when you flip his cards over and discovered that he had enough +4 UNO card to flip the game over.

“Yeah, but you’d have to pick up like 20 extra cards,” he shrugs, picking up the cards to reorganize them.

“So?”

“Well, I don’t want to do that,” he mumbles before shooting you his signature megawatt smile, “Not to you at least. 10/10 would do it to Ni-Ki though.”

Always keep you at the forefront of his mind.

When he’s at the coffee shop: “Oh, I bet she hasn’t had her coffee yet,” and then he goes on to order you your usual.

When he’s at the bakery: “Oh, I bet she hasn’t had her lunch yet — gotta get her something,” and then he goes on to buy a selection of your favorite pastries.

When he’s shopping, “Oh, she really loves clothes like this — I’ll just get it for her.”

When he passes by a bookstore, “Oh, that’s the kind of book she likes,” then he quickly disappears into the bookstore to get it for you.

“What are you? Her mum?” Sunghoon would often complain as he is always the one being made to wait while Jake is busy getting you stuffs.

Quality time with him would consist of activities like baking nights; picnics; volunteer sessions and so on. Being the selfless lad he is though, he’d always take it upon himself to do the majority of the hard work (though he’ll slot in a chance to brag about himself in between especially if it concerns his strength or skills).

“Oh gosh, this is why restaurants and bakeries exists,” you complain as you rolled the dough for the umpteenth time.

“Let me,” he set down the cream he was mixing, offering to take over.

“Dude, no — you’re more exhausted than I am from your soccer practice, I have absolutely no right to compl-“

“Aww don’t worry about it. You’ve been studying all night too,” he assures, pulling a chair and beckoning you to sit down instead, “besides, I have the strength of like a hundred men so yknow things like these are peanuts for me,” he snickers.

Boi is flirty as heck though. Thank God, you have ice in your veins. Otherwise, you’d be catching feelings quicker than you can spell out his name.

“Do you want anything?” He asks as you guys stand in line at Starbucks.

You shook your head, “Nah, not a fan. I like Coffee Bean better.”

"Oh we can stop by later then," he suggests.

"It's fine Jake, we've already passed it by earlier."

Then suddenly after disappearing for some 15 minutes to allegedly take a call outside, Jake returned, oddly out of breath, with a Coffee Bean paper bag, filled with your usual coffee order.

“Dude! Coffee Bean is like what almost 8 minutes away by walk?! That's like a 16 minute return-trip or something...”

“Less if you run," he winks, “Come on, for you — anything."

Then as per his habits, he’d bite his lips as he grins.

Or that other time, during one of your baking nights:

“You know if you’re tired you can always cancel our baking night right?” You suggest as you unlock the door to your apartment.

“No way — it’s like our weekly ritual. Also it’s like therapeutic for me, a respite from all those rowdy boys at home; rowdy boys at practice and my hectic lifestyle,” he posits, placing the groceries, which he had insisted to carry, up onto your kitchen counter, “unless of course you’re tired? Then of course we can-“

“Never as tired as you’re supposed to be though — if you say so, then sure.”

“Aww,” he coos, “Seriously, if you’re tired, I’ll take over tonight.”

“No way, you’re always taking up my share of work, I feel like a freeloader.”

“Oh come on, freeloading is when it’s one-sided. We aren’t like that.”

“You must really like baking huh?”

“I mean yeah but actually, it’s not the baking per se that I love the most from our baking nights,” Jake murmurs as he help you unpack the groceries, “it’s being with you that I love the most. That’s the therapeutic part, you; making things together with you; making things for you; —“

You stopped unpacking and stare up at him, wondering what have you done so far to even deserve Jake. He stares back at you, beaming widely, “basically you.” ((Yeah he bit his lips after that))

As if there’s gravity, his hands are somewhat always on you whether it is an arm over your shoulders; his hand holding yours whenever you guys cross the road; his hand reaching yours whenever you just put a hand up to wave at him in the hallway; all the tackle hugs he does whenever he sees you; resting his head against your shoulders; and the list goes on (nothing you’re uncomfortable with though). No wonder the girls are always shooting glares at you — he’s always acting as if you guys are dating.

“Gosh, get a room!” Jay would always scream whenever he's around you two and Jake starts to get all clingy and handsy.

A good exemplary student but for you, just for you, he can make some sort of light concession. For instance, if you doze off in class, he’d cover your back.

“Oh crap, I dozed off didnt I?”

“A bit,” Jake whispers back, “Go back to sleep, I’ll wake you up once he starts moving around the hall,” he winks.

“Nah I shouldn’t, I’ve already missed out a whole page of notes,” you sigh when suddenly Jake pushes his book towards you, “Got you covered girl, don’t worry. Just get another 5 minutes of shut-eye alright? I know you pulled up an all-nighter last night.”

“I wish you’re as lenient to me as you to her,” Ni-Ki grumbles beside him.

Jake scoffs, “Nah not you bruh — you deserve being found out when you’re napping when all you do at night is playing games with Heeseung.”

Would excitedly wave at you, or send a flying kiss at you if he feels daring, during his soccer matches whenever he spots you in the crowd.

Playfully competitive in a very annoying way. “Hey, bet you can’t run faster than I can..." / “Hey, bet you can’t finish the homework within an hour..." / "Hey, bet you can’t squat more than I do...” — it’s ok though, you thought, ‘cus no human is perfect, he has to have a flaw especially when his selflessness is inhumanely off the charts.

Your study buddy! You guys are always either in the library, the class or at each other’s places — mostly to study (if you guys aren’t having your non-study-related quality time, that is). Of course, he’d get competitive eventually, “hey, bet you can’t solve question 12! I got it in just what 3 minutes?”

Boi is a coward but he would brave through anything for you (at least *try* to). That's how everyone knows you're his soft spot.

"Jake, you hate horror movies.”

“But you love the Conjuring series”

“Yeah, but I can just watch it alone. You don’t need to accompany me to the theatre for this.”

“Nah, why would I do that to you? Come on have some faith in me — horror movies are nothing.”

and then you found out from a trusted informant (Jungwon) that Jake couldnt sleep without the lights on for 1 week straight after that.

[mlm-mod-taka]

Hello!! Could you possible write comfort headcanons with Mondo, Byakuya, Kaito and Makoto (seperately) with gn reader who had a nightmare?? i just want to have some comfort cause my mental health isn't doing great these days ;o; if you don't want to, thats okay! I hope you will have a great day! ✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*｡

NIGHTMARE HCS • makoto, byakuya, mondo, kaito x gn reader

when mondo owada <3 but yes of course! ive never had a nightmare so i hope i captured this accurately enough. feel free to talk to me, my dms are always open. sorry if these are a little short by the way, but i still hope you enjoy!

tws/cws: nightmares.

|| -> mod taka <3

makoto immediately jolts out of bed when he feels you move harshly. when he looks over to see if youre okay, he sees that youre still asleep, but your body is practically moving on its own.

he figures that youre probably having a nightmare, because he can hear you mutter restraints under your breath. in a panic, he quickly shakes you until you wake up.

asks what you dreamed about, and if youre okay. hes never had too many nightmares, but he knows that they can be scary, so hes ready to let you vent.

when you tell him what the dream was about, you were still shaking and your body was still on very high alert. makoto sighs in a sad tone, going away for a second to grab you a cup of water to calm yourself down.

he knows that youre probably too scared to go back to sleep, so he suggests that you two should pull and all nighter and do some fun things together. yknow, to help you calm down.

the first thing you do is most likely watch your comfort show, or watching anything that will calm you down. makoto does everything he can to maximize your comfort, your happiness does matter alot to him.

talks about topics that he knows you enjoy. will talk about your hobbies, characters you like, any uncommon interest you have, your favorite animals etc. etc... you guys will talk for hours on end, and next thing you know, you forget about your nightmare.

will order some of your favorite food so you can watch it over a funny netflix show, and binge all the episodes until its afternoon, and youre both passed out from lack of sleep on the couch. the tv is still playing in the background as you have a nice dream.

will stay up a little later than you for a few night after that, so if you do have another nightmare, he'll be wide awake to help you out again.

is the lightest sleeper from the group. the moment you make even the slightest noise of discomfort, hes awake insantly. and tonight was one of thoss nights. he woke up at the start of your nightmare, and quickly woke you up before the dream got worse.

when you wake up in a panic, his calming presence quickly ground you back, youre mostly calm by the time he asks you if you had a nightmare.

you say yes, and you start to share what the nightmare was about. luckily, it was very short since he woke you up before it started to get really scary, but it was still terrifying in a way.

looks at you in a sorrow manner when you vent about the dream. when you do finish ranting, he begrudgingly pulls you into a warm hug. hes not used to showing physical affection, but hes trying, so do bear with him for now.

nothing really is said after you talked about your dream, most of the night just turns into a big cuddle session. hes a surprisingly good hugger, and next thing you know, youre back to sleep.

is very worried about you, so he looks up some ways to stop nightmares before they can happen, instead of waiting until they do occur to wake you up.

he finds a few solutions, but he waits until the nightmares become a recurring thing before doing the things hes found online. maybe it was just a one time thing.

and, it was. you dont get another nightmare. but, just in case, he cuddles up to you every night since then, so you can be reassured that he'll always be there if you do get another bad dream.

understands what you feel when you wake up and you cant think straight. hes been through alot of nights where he wakes up in a cold sweat from a terrible nightmare, so he probably knows how to comfort you the best.

wont touch you until you calm down, you could probably get overwhelmed and he'll make it worse. mondo will just patiently wait for you to snap out of it, with no judgement in his eyes.

when you do start to tell him what happened, he listens very intently. just, hears you out. no one was ever there for him when he woke up after a nightmare, so he'll be there for you.

when you finish, he starts to share his nightmares as well. the man has probably never let anyone other than you hear what his dreams contain in his darker days. he trusts you.

you guys just spend the rest of the night in each others presence, hugging each other while you exchange stories. they slowly went from depressing stories, to stuff that makes them burst out in laughter.

he mumbles about some stories that he and his brother experienced together. its a funny story, but he doesnt seem to laugh as much at it. there was a strange emotion on his face, but he avoided the question when you asked.

you start to fall asleep in his arms as he says another story, this time about his old dog, chuck. in the middle of it, he looks over to see you deep in slumber.

smiles, and gives you a kiss on your head before sleeping as well. youre both there for each other when you have your nightmares, the other always ready to tell a funny story to cheer the other up.

has a much different approach to your problem. when you wake up, youre greeted by a worried kaito. he lets you talk about your dream for a bit, before telling you to get dressed, because you two were going somewhere.

when you get to the location hes leaded you two, its a mcdonalds. and right at the front, was shuichi, kaede, and maki, all waiting for you and him.

the rest of the night was spent going to random parks, buying things at cheap stores that you were probably never going to use, and eating as much unhealthy food as you could.

apparently, his friendgroup has this arrangement that whenever one of them is sad, they go out and have a small adventure. and now, youre a part of it too.

the image of everyone swinging on the rusty swings of an old playground, kaito trying to go down the slide, but accidentally getting stuck, and needing maki and shuichi to pull him out, is probably one of the most memorable images you'll ever experience.

you were all so happy and carefree. you quickly forgot about the dream as everyone had a contest to see who could drink the most coke, and shuichi spit it out because of the continous burn he felt in his throat.

when you get back at 7 am from the adventure, you go to sleep like a baby, remembering all the happy moments you saw. kaito slept next to you, happy that he was able to help you, and messaged the group to get ready for another hangout tomorrow in case the nightmare comes back. him and the group are always ready to calm you down from a bad dream, just message them and they'll be on the way.

[vinnival]

How about a reader called for a walk (main 3 + 2bdamned + Sheriff) but they thought it was a romantic date

Yo, I hope it doesn't bother you. I would like to see it specifically from you <з

himbos.

Overprepared

HANK

He probably thought it was a normal walk too but Deimos, as soon as Hank notified him of them leaving soon for the walk....

"Oooo are you going on a daaaate?"

huhu BITCH you just made Hank reconsider all of their life choices

He ended up being. a Little late

But you were literally stunned off of your feet to see that mf in... a TUX????

WHERE DID THEY GET A TUXEDO

Why was he wearing it!?!???

He looked fresher than usual, and carried himself a bit more fancier

what the fuck?

Your jaw was on the floor, but Hank only waved at you, nodding in your direction

You couldn't move until he tapped you in the shoulder in concern HDJWJD

"O-o-oh y- uh- uhm- w- you- o- wha-"

Your brain was mush, he looked too pretty,......

And for What Reason???? This was just a nice walk out 😩

SANFORD

Knowing him he'd probably think it was normal at first but then start Overthinking

"What if that was a way they were asking for a date...?"

Then hed get serious

(that insinuates he wasn't serious before but like. He's more serious now (?))

Brushes his teeth one too many times

"Deimos does this shirt make my tits look too small"

"What the fuck San?"

You definitely were caught off guard when you saw him wearing a SHIRT of all things

AND he had his bandana off + hair all neatly done

hfsjrhsjdjd whaaa??

You couldn't stop periodically glancing at him

Finally, you relented, "why are you wearing a shirt?"

He looked down at it, suddenly getting nervous, "Just... wanted to get a lil fancy with it, yknow?"

"Hmm."

"Look, its not every day you get to go on a nice leisurely walk with your c... friend, let me enjoy this!"

"Fair enough."

DEIMOS

Oh forget him Thinking it, he outright asked it of you when you called him with the offer

"Hey Dei, wanna go out on a walk with me?"

"Whoa. You mean like a date?!"

"Wel-"

"SEE YOU IN 10"

He hung up in excitement, already running a hand through his hair- not wrapped up yet

Once again, Deimos tries his best

But oh my goodness ,,, help him

Deimos had his hair combed back, mint in mouth, wearing a snazzy navy sports coat and white t-shirt, along with black jeans

Man....

You arrived in your usual armor/clothes

You didn't want to dampen his spirits by saying it wasn't a date ngl

He went all out ON the date too

Pick-up lines, compliments, his arm interconnected with yours, etc

please help him hes a simp

2BDAMNED

Ngl probably another Hank situation

He thought it was a normal call until *everyone started whispering "ooo 2B is going on a daaaaaaateeeeee"

*everyone being deimos of course

He then takes time to brush out his Mohawk a little more,- (also want to mention I love his Canon hair :^] reminds me of my oc. and they would definitely be friends)- makes sure his lens are wiped clean, practices his vocals, stuff like that

I would say you'd notice the difference but 2B has a lot more logic than Hank in romantic stuffs so he keeps the changes to a minimum, so it isn't truly noticeable unless you thought into it too hard

But you didn't, and you two enjoyed the walk

You DID notice how he complimented you once or twice, which caught you by surprise

SHERIFF

His idea of romance was mostly inspired by elvis presley songs, wild west movies, and whenever he's seen sanford and deimos acting like a couple

So this mf heard "walk", took it, and morphed it into "romantic walk out to horse, which turns into a romantic horse ride with Sheriff playing the guitar romantically and holding your hand occasionally with romantic intent"

And he sticks by that plan

When you arrive, he's got a rose petal path waiting for you

And this is the moment you knew you fucked up

But I mean hey he treats you like royalty the whole time

He definitely plays guitar very well, even when on a horse carrying two people

Definitely convinces you to dance with him as a final part of the "date"

Why the hell not

*cue cotton eyed joe dance*

you two then slow danced :]

this was cute to write fjahfnwsk thank you for the fuel rostyy
