Hi there, I know you're super busy and I hope things are going well for you in school!! I saw your hcs post and it gave me an idea for a blurb. Could we see Jonathan and his crush on bug when they were younger. Like him just absorbed and enchanted with bug while she's just running around completely unaware. Maybe like they're exploring in the woods and Jonathan gets nervous so bug grabs his hand and he gets so flustered. Thank you for your time baby!! Work hard and do great!

YES YES YES !!!!!

enjoy <3

"race you to the top!" you exclaim, giggling as you shove past jonathan and force your scrawny twelve year old legs to climb up weathertop hill. he tumbles to the ground.

its your first summer in hawkins, and jonathan has promised to show you every inch of this small town.

"not fair!" he shouts back, now yards behind you after youve rudely shoved him to get ahead.

jonathan watches as you turn back and giggle even harder at the sight of him on the ground. your laugh carries down to him and the sunlight illuminates your face. your smile is infectious and despite the mud now underneath his fingernails because of you, jonathan cant help but smile back at you.

you run through some dandelions and send them cascading around you as you continue to run up the grassy field, and as the soft dandelion seeds swirl around you, jonathan cant seem to catch his breath.

your hair is in pigtails and when you turn back to jonathan again to laugh at him once more, the sunlight catches your eyes and he decides that there isnt a color descriptive enough to capture their beauty.

"i won!" you dance at the top of the hill, having won the race by a mile, and stick your tongue out at jonathan. "you suck, bee."

jonathan rests his head in grass and admires you. youre glowing, your hair dances with you, and he doesnt think hes ever seen this side of you in the few months hes known you.

here, all alone together, far from the bullies at school and the yelling in your houses, the two of you can just be kids.

youre beautiful. theres a warmth to you that jonathan cant describe.

hes twelve years old, and he understands now why his parents drive each other crazy.

here you are, smiling at jonathan as if hes the best thing in the entire world, offering him your hand to help him up from the grass. your fingers are soft and slowly starting to become familiar to him, and jonathan finds himself shaking at your touch.

"hey, you okay?" you notice his sudden shift in mood.

its slight, all jonathan had done was shuffle his feet a bit away from you, and yet you had noticed. he doesnt think he will ever get used to you knowing him so well, in such a short time span, and when he tries to tell you that its nothing, the words die in his throat when he looks at you.

theres a stray dandelion in one of your pigtails.

it rests gently against your cheek, you havent noticed it yet, and jonathan slowly reaches out to pluck it out of your hair. his fingers shake and his hands feel clammy and he wonders how theres so many songs written about this scary feeling.

"here," he offers the dandelion to you. its all he knows how to do. its all he can give you.

blushing, you accept the flower and hold it delicately in your hand. "thanks, bee."

"anytime, bug."

its the smile that you offer him, shy and sweet yet reserved and vulnerable, that makes him realize that his crush on you is more than just a crush.

jonathan byers is twelve years old when he discovers love for the first time in a grassy field filled with dandelions and laughter from his childhood.

my boys !!!!!!!! it just occurred to me that i messed up the ordering of the names; Garu is Hydrangea and Karu is Marigold!! i submitted them really really last minute so i didn't think much about the particular flowers, just the colors associated with them :3 karu might have been a dandelion otherwise!! it would match well with his resilience :] (i couldn't think of many blue flowers though, so garu probably would have stayed a hydrangea)

and idk if that one person is still around that wondered in the notes if they were a system, but yeah!!! and the game is really really casual about it!!!! it's never questioned and no one treats them weird for it, they're just brothers and that's how it is, and everyone puts in the effort to get to know the both of them!! also they decide who fronts via rock paper scissors. /affectionate

ok ramble time/more elaborate version of their description up there because they're so. sososo precious to me.

when Garu first hears from Eiden (the game's protagonist) that Karu exists, he IMMEDIATELY wants to be his best friend and work together. Karu however has known that Garu exists for a while, and wants to get rid of him so he can protect himself against humans (he seems to have some kind of world domination aspiration going on?), because he sees Garu as stupid and overly trusting. overall, Garu seems to want connection and to be cared for by others, while Karu wants to keep them both safe (from people).

after a while, they end up both agreeing to choose a "trial human" in order to test which of their aspirations is better; they both choose Eiden, and end up following him around commanding him (Karu) and just being affectionate and friendly towards him (Garu) respectively. through Eiden, they start actually talking to each other more, and by present time, they both trust Eiden and each other.

...and though Karu probably would not admit it aloud, he does actually come to see Garu as his brother and his family, and he gets extremely protective and defensive over him. during the same event this reveal image is from, he takes over and protects the both of them after Garu starts crying.

lastly, some bullet point favorite fun facts about them!!

i got the idea for their ship alias because as i was putting together the reveal image, i noticed their eye colors are exactly across from each other on the color wheel! (and between that and the contrasting polarity of their ideals and aspirations, i thought it was a fitting name!)

they decide who controls their body via rock paper scissors, though sometimes they make exceptions if one of them really needs to be somewhere, or falls asleep suddenly

sometimes one of them is asleep while the other is fronting, but sometimes they're both present at the same time! as their relationship healed, they started being able to actually communicate directly with each other when they're both awake, and they have a tendency to say their responses aloud to whoever isn't fronting. (so it often sounds like one side of a telephone call)

whenever they have meals, they don't let themselves get completely full; they save half of their hunger for the other, so they can both have their own meals! (they're a wolf yokai, so food is very important to both of them.) i thought this was especially sweet and really thoughtful as far as "what are the implications of sharing a body" goes

Garu is consistently very friendly and sociable towards everyone, but wants to be helpful; Karu is aggressive and protective, but wants to be paid attention to/revered. I think it is soooooo interesting how they both quietly yearn for what the other has, and i think over time this helped them really deepen their understanding of and respect for each other

They're both kinda childish, but not childlike — it's hard to explain, but similar to how you would think of an adult dog? it's like, a mix of autism and animal tendencies that lends itself to simple ways of thinking if that makes sense??? anyway it is endearing and sweet without being infantilising or weird and i just love how they're written

i love them your honor

thank you for including them and hosting this tournament!!! it was absolutely delightful to see them here :3 and I'm excited to see the reveal for steal your heart later on!!! (pleasantly surprised that they held 36% even against a romantic-leaning angst ship with a thief in it, honestly!!)

Guess That Ship Tournament: S4 Round 3

steal your heart

Master thief finds himself fooling a detective to get away with his treasure, falls in love. Detective doesn't know how to trust and is too depressed to get away on a whim. Somehow, they end up in a life-or-death situation, learn to trust each other, confess their love and... part ways in the middle of the night, one left alone behind by the other after a promise of a future together.

Contrasting Colors

Two brothers; Marigold and Hydrangea.

They share a body. It is unclear when or how this happened; it just *is*. At first, they aren't even aware of each other's existence. Eventually, they start talking to each other by passing along messages through another character. Marigold expresses his distain for humans, and Hydrangea expresses his desire to trust and form bonds with them. Marigold claims that he wants to take their body for himself, and Hydrangea wants to be Marigold's friend and brother. Eventually, they do make amends and come to care for one another.

#my beloveds!!!!!!#like actually seeing them learn to be nice to each other. (clutches shirt) my heart #garu #karu #save #considering the yakumo kuya theme i sure do submit garukaru to competitions a lot huh.#well the reason is quite simple: i love them your honor (theyare such sweetiepies that i want to hold them up and show them off like a dog)#like when you send your friends a million pictures of your dog lying around being goofy. that's me with garukaru like . look my blorbo !!!
