ClassyfruitbASKet - Part 1

Hello, you lovely bunch! 😘 As the list of my asks keeps getting bigger, I wanted to come up with a solution to a) answer all of your lovely asks but b) keep it very lean and tidy so that my reactions don’t overpower my art.  Thank you ALL for leaving asks and praise in my inbox! 💕  I cherish each and every comment and ask a LOT. It keeps me going and my creative juices flowing. And I ask for your forgiveness for taking so long to react to them! (The RE8 ladies are greedy when it comes to my time and attention. 😅) Today, I will stick to questions and requests concerning my art for the first 10 asks. I’m sure that’s the part you’ll love to see the most. Please know that I read EVERY ask I get. So if I didn’t answer YOUR ask yet, just stick around until next Tuesday.

Thank you VERY MUCH for your love and support, Anon! And as well for the delicious idea of a tied up Lady D. I will definitely consider doing something similar for my Twitter at some point! 😋 I’m sure Mother Miranda would like to prove her superiority just like that. Much love to you and take care!

Hey Anon, thank you for getting in touch and requesting something so cute! In fact I plan to do all of the four Lords as chibis at some point! Because we all need that in our lives! 💕 So STAY TUNED and you shall recieve!

A very valid question, dear Anon! I try to switch it up and draw as many different pets for Lady D (and now Donna and sometime in the future maybe even Miranda), so that everyone gets their chance to daydream and relate. 💗 I’m unfortunately a very shy bean, so I’d not really be comfortable with sharing art that shows how I look irl. 🙈 Thank you for your ask! 😊

Thank you so much for your kind words and your love & support! 😍 I’m super glad you like my version of Alcina - I love to do our Tall Vampire Lady justice with my art. 💪😤 In response to your question concerning our best bratty werewolf dilf Heisenberg, I’m not opposed to drawing him (he can be seen in at least two artworks of mine that I can think of and he will make a comeback for a lot of my other projects) but as I’m a lesbean myself, my focus is definitely more on the beautiful ladies of RE8! 🤤 Thank you for getting in touch, Anon, and have an amazing day! 🌞

@drippykiddworld​, hi!! Thank you for sharing your idea with me! ✨ I hope you enjoyed my artwork with the three of our RE8 madames sharing a very willing sacrifice! 👌😌 And concerning me playing the game, I started out and went about as far as the Beneviento estate and then my time to play sadly ran out. I have been waiting to play desperately, I just can’t seem to find the time. 😅 But I’m not complaining, I LOVE spending my day drawing!

*snorts* Don’t mind if I do, Anon! 😂 I love your mind, keep up the good work!  👏

Hey there, @warmbloodinmarble​, thank you for sharing your awesome idea! I think Alcina would make a SPLENDID french woman to draw! 💕 I’ll keep this idea on my list and draw it as soon as possible! Have a nice day and take care of your creative mind!  😘

Very important question, my dear Anon! I’ll still have to set it up but some time in the future, you will be able to commission me via my Ko-Fi page. Until I get around to doing that, you’re free to contact me via DM on Tumblr or Instagram! See you there! 💕

Ugh, my heart!!! 😍  I would draw this in a HEARTBEAT, all Beauty and the Beast style. I NEED to do this. It really fits in with my plan to do more romantic artwork for Alcina and her pet(s). Thank you for blessing me with this idea, Anon, and have an amazing day! 😘

Hi Anon, thank you for getting in touch and asking your question! 😘  As stated before, I try to vary everything about Lady D’s pets frequently so that everyone can belong and project themselves into our favourite fandom. Definitely go for it, if you’re planning to make art for reader inserts! The world needs more daydream fuel! 😍😍 _____ And that concludes the first batch of our new installment ClassyfruitbASKet! 🍉 🍇 🍓 I hope you’ll find it interesting and if you have a question yourself, feel free to DM me or send me an ask.  I can’t thank you enough for all of your support and the insane amount of love I recieve from all of you on a daily basis! Thank you very much, I appreciate each and every one of you more than words could tell! 😍 See you next Tuesday! Much love, Classy

okay so it’s been about a week since i watched that recording of into the woods on broadway that’s on youtube and i have some Thoughts.

i always forget about cinderella having glasses and it’s my literal, actual favorite thing in the entire musical. every cinderella ever written is my favorite character ever, but especially ones that aren’t Perfect all the time. My Wife

i cannot BELIEVE they cut my FAVORITE stanza from the ENTIRE PLAY (that one from “a very nice prince” about “well how do you know what you want til you get what you want and you see if you like it”). i always forget that they cut it and i’m SO UPSET ABOUT IT. i guess it’s kind of slow but it’s SO IMPORTANT.

i forgot that the baker has a tiny little reprise of “maybe they’re really magic” and it’s so cute i love him.

the costuming department really looked at the wolf and said “we can make this creepier”, huh? delightful.

i always forget how convoluted act 1 is. lesbean described it as a sitcom and she’s right. it’s literally just all setup for act 2. every time i get to intermission i end up having a little crisis about why, exactly i’m so obsessed with this musical. literally the only song of act 1 that makes me FEEL THINGS is “it takes two”, because i have an odd obsession with the baker and his wife. they’re so cute. god. they kiss for the first time in that song and i literally SQUEAKED. lesbean was unimpressed. but the rest of act 1 is mostly just.... clever? which is fine, but it’s not much to write home about.

BUT THEN ACT 2 IS SO GOOD. every moment of act 2 is payoff from act 1, and it’s SO well done. you’re feeling things at every moment. i got teary at “lament” and just got weepier until i was well and truly crying at “no more”. and then “no one is alone” came along and punched me in the face. act 2 is so good, y’all.

i love how violent red is. it’s so good. she’s such a little monster, it’s so delightful. it takes a little longer than i remembered for her to build up to it but then jack tugs on her cape and she spins around holding a knife and it’s the BEST SHOT IN THE MUSICAL.

i wonder what happens to rapunzel’s twins.

i’m not sure the acted version of “agony (reprise)” portrays the quiet horror that the cast album version has so much of. it might be because i’m used to it by now, but for sure the harmony “”scream”” or whatever isn’t as good in this version and it’s my favorite part of the song, which is. sigh.

i was beginning to warm up to baker/cinderella but watching the musical again just reinforced my idea that she’s aroace and i’m really not ready to let go of that. i definitely think they coparent the kids, though.

oh, also, the scene between the mysterious man and the witch in act 1 was Actually Pretty Good. i really like the mysterious man and his storyline and i ADORE the double casting with the narrator there.

To Be Honest, I Would’ve Milked The Killing Of The Narrator So Much More. It Just Kind Of Happens. Whatever, The Rest Of Act 2 Is So Good That I’m Willing To Let It Slide.

EVERYTHING about “any moment” / “moments in the woods” / the baker’s wife’s death is SO GOOD. everything. i just love the baker’s wife so MUCH. (also lesbean kept saying “that’s Against The Rules” as the baker’s wife and the prince were kissing, and after “moments in the woods” i got to say “whelp. we all know what happens when you break the rules. It’s Punishment Time.” it was SO MUCH FUN.)

my personal theory that the narrative punishes the baker’s wife for her affair is still SUPPORTED and VALID. but the mysterious man lets milky white go after “a very nice prince”, i believe? i should probably rewatch but whatever. who cares about canon anyway.

uh. that was longer than i intended it to be. anyway, Into The Woods Is Really Good, etc etc, thank you for coming to my ted talk and watch it on youtube.

Always Waiting- Chapter Fifteen

Always Waiting- Steve Harrington x Henderson!Reader

Always Waiting Masterlist

Summary: The Russians capture Y/n and Steve, Steve shows concern for Y/n

Pairing: Steve Harrington x Henderson!Reader

A/n: I’m so happy so many of you are liking these chapters! I’m guessing there’s gonna be maybe 3 more chapters? Anyways I’m a sucker for hand holding so there will be lots of hand holding in the next couple chapters, not sorry about it. As always, lmk if you want to be added to the taglist!

Warnings: Swearing, evil Russians, physical abuse, getting drugged, needles, typos

Word count: 1.6k

“I don’t understand, you’ve seen this before?” Robin asks.

“Not exactly.” You make your way back down the stairs to the control room.

“Well then what, exactly?”

“You just need to know it’s bad, really bad.” Dustin tells her.

“Like end of the human race bad.” Steve adds.

“Uh, Steve, where’s your Russian friend?” Erica points to the empty area. As if on que, an alarm starts blaring.

“Shit.” Steve rushes over to the door, opening it to see a bunch of Russian guards, gathering up. One of them turns, seeing Steve. “Shit! Go, go, go, go!”

Dustin at the front and Steve in the back, you all take off running through doorways, eventually leading you to a room full of scientists.

“This way!” You yell pointing towards a door. You run on a platform, stopping when you come to the end. You feel your breathing pick up as you look at the laser, shooting through the gate right in front of you.

“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit.” Dustin yells, frantically.

Your eyes are glued on the gate, you can’t pull them away. Steve grabs your hand and pulls you with him, “Come on!”

You run down a flight of stairs, Steve pushing people out of the way.

“Uh, this way!” Robin leads you through a door into a room. Steve holds the door shut, trying to keep the Russians out.

“Y/n!” He yells for you. You run over, throwing all your weight against the door. Erica lifts open an airduct vent and hops in, Robin looks at you and you nod telling her it was ok. Dustin didn’t move, “come on!”

“Dustin, go!” You shout, worrying he’ll get caught by the Russians.

“No, come on!”

“Just got get help!” Steve yells.

“I won’t forget about you.”

“Go!” You and Steve yell. Dustin takes one look at you then ducks in the airduct.

You and Steve hold the door shut with all your might, but it isn’t strong enough. The door slams open, sending you and Steve to the floor. The Russians flood into the room, gathering around you two pointing guns at you. Slowly, you raise your hands up and out of your peripheral vision, you see Steve do the same. They say something in Russian, you and Steve are unresponsive. One Russian comes over to you, grabbing your arm and pulling you up.

“Hey! Hey! Don’t touch her!” The Russian who looks to be in charge, turns and faces Steve, laughing a little bit.

“Or what?” He says, with a thick accent. He turns to the guard who pulled you up and nods towards the door. The guard roughly pulls your arm and drags you towards the door.

“Woah woah woah where are you taking her?!” Steve frantically stands up and tries to push his way through the Russian to get to you.

“Steve!” You yell as you get pulled out of the room.

The Russian Guard throws you into a room. You land with a loud thud against the ground. You quickly get up and try to run out the door, but the guard shuts it before you get to it.

“Let me out!” You bang against the door.

Pretty soon, the head Russian Guard comes in the room.

“Who do you work for?”

“Scoops Ahoy.” A fist comes in contact with your cheek, you fall to the ground.

“Who do you work for?” He asks again.

“Scoops Ahoy!” You yell, this earns you another punch, this time on your right eye.

“How did you find us?”

“My friend and I, we were looking our delivery that didn’t come,” you take a second to breathe, “So we went to the loading dock, and now we’re here!” A gut punch. You gasp for air as you grip your stomach. Tears start to prick at the corner of your eyes.

“Who do you work for?” He asks again, grabbing your face with his hand.

“For the millionth time, Scoops Ahoy!” He jerks your head up, looks you in the eyes, then walks out of the room. Another guard comes forward.

“Oh no, no, no,” you brace yourself for more physical abuse. A few more good punches leaves you out cold.

The guard throws you over his shoulder, leaving the room and bringing you to another. Steve is tied up to a chair. The door opens and in comes the guard with you dangling over his shoulder.

“Oh my god, Y/n. What did you do to her?!” Steve yells at the guard. In response, he throws your limp body in front of Steve, trying to get a reaction out of him.

“Fucking asshole! What did you do to her?!” The guard lifts you back up and puts you in a chair with the back to Steve and ties you to him. The guard leaves the room, slamming the door on the way out.

“Y/n? Y/n? Can you hear me?” Steve tries to reach for your hand, shaking it gently, “Y/n come on, I need you to wake up.” You stir slightly, you can taste blood in your mouth, and you couldn’t open your right eye.

“Oh, thank god, Y/n can you hear me?” You try to lift your head but don’t have enough strength.

“Mhmm,” you hum.

“Jesus, what did they do to you?” Steve gently grabs your hand again, not letting go.

You get enough strength to lift your head and lean if against Steve’s, “Billy’s punches weren’t nearly as hard as those guys,” You laugh a little but wince at the pain of your busted lip.

“God, Y/n, I’m so sorry.” Steve sighs, “I promised I wouldn’t let anything bad happen to you, I promised.”

“Well we’re not dead yet, Harrington.”

“Henderson, I have been such an asshole, I just- god I’m just so sorry.” You give Steve’s hand a small squeeze.

“Do you remember Mrs. Click’s history class? Sophomore year?” Your voice sounded so small.

“What?”

“It was first period, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.” You shifted a little in your seat, “You were always late, and you always had the same breakfast, bacon, egg, and cheese on a sesame bagel. I sat behind you two days a week for a whole year. The king of Hawkins. Do you even remember me being in that class?”

Steve closes his eyes and sighs.

“Every day you’d walk in and not even acknowledge me, like you didn’t even know me. You were a real asshole, you know that? but it didn’t matter because I still missed you, I still just wanted my best friend back, no matter how douchey you were.”

“You know, I wish we stayed friends in high school,” Steve says, “I wish that every day, even in high school I wished it, but I was scared because what? Because I was scared of not being popular anymore?” Steve pauses, “It’s all just a bunch of bullshit.”

“But we have each other now, and we are not losing each other.” You remind him.

The door opens and in comes the head Russian with some type of doctor.

“Try telling the truth this time, It’ll make your visit with the doctor less painful,” the Russian laughs. The doctor pulls out a huge syringe and walks over towards you.

“Wait, wait, wait!” You wail. The doctor sticks the needle into your neck, causing you to let out a blood curdling scream.

*      *      *

“Honestly, I feel fine.” Steve speaks up, “How do you feel?”

“Yeah I feel fine… kinda of good actually.” You start to giggle.

“Yeah I feel great.” Steve starts laughing, “The morons messed up the drug!”

“Yeah! Morons!” You call out, still laughing.

“Oh my god, there’s definitely something wrong with us.”

The door opens and the Russian and the doctor come in, “Let’s try this again, shall we? Who do you work for?”

“Scoops,” Steve chuckles, “Scoops Ahoy.” This sends you into a fit of giggles.

“How did you find us?”

“Totally by accident.”

The Russian says something to the doctor. The doctor grabs some type of pliers and makes his way over to you, “What is that shiny toy?” You ask. He places it under your fingernail.

“Woah, woah, wait, no!”

“Code! There was a code!” Steve blurts out.

“Code? What code?”

“The week is long, the silver cat feeds. You broadcasted your stupid secret spy shit all over town, and we picked it up on our Cerebro and cracked it in a day! Kids who scoop ice cream for a living, cracked it in a day! And now people know you’re here.” Steve explains.

“Who knows we’re here?”

“Well Dustin knows.”

“Steveeeee.” You lean your head back against his.

“Yeah Dustin Henderson, her brother.”

“Is it your little curly haired friend?” The Russian asks.

“Oh yeah, great hair, small, kinda like a fro.”

“Where is he?”

“Oh he’s long gone you asshole.” You tell him, “and he’s gonna go get Hopper, and Hopper’s gonna call the US cavalry, they’re gonna come in here guns a-blazing and kick your sorry asses back to Russia.” You say in a matter-of-fact tone.

The Russian walks over to you and leans into your face, “Is that so?”

“…Yeah.” You and Steve laugh.

An alarm starts blaring. You give the Russian a “I told you so look.” He rushes out of the room.

Dustin, Robin, and Erica burst into the room. Dustin runs up to the doctor, electrocuting him with some kind of weapon.

“Dusty!” You say.

“That’s crazy we were just talking about you.” Steve says. Robin rushes over and starts untying your hands as Dustin unties Steve.

“Get ready to run.”

do u have a good DND story?

warning: long af post bc i’m tired and what’s a formatting or coherent writing style i don’t know her lmao

HOooooo boy there’s maybe too many... Also depends on what kind you want lol. Like there’s the time we fought the Honkdra, aka a Goose Hydra, who was definitely way too strong and also the token the dm used was the goose from the untitled goose game. Then the sequel to that fight, which was of course the Quaken, aka sea monster in which the token was a giant rubber duck but like also there’s tentacles. It didn’t even murder our party, it basically just said fuck our boat and then left, so then we ended up stranded on the island we are currently on in game (we were looking for that island but STILL). Also there’s a clown cult on that island that were currently dealing with, chaotic squirrels, and we also fought the unicorns from the charlie video as a lowkey boss on this island earlier too. OH also we’ve fought the black knight from monty python multiple times. 

If you want maybe less silly ones, There’s the time my pally lesbean cha ended up having to sacrifice themselves for the party. Basically what ended up happening was at a world council meeting thingy we were at to try and convince people to help us with some magic war bullshittery, we basically got suddenly attacked by the enemy. Which, happened to include my cha’s long lost love, who is the reason she set out on the journey in the first place bc basically her love and her sister fell through a portal and my cha had been searching for them ever since. Here’s the thing tho, Love interest happens to basically be possessed/undead and forced to do the bidding of the Bad guy, while being in pain and also being basically conscious the whole time. So uh you can imagine that fight of her pleas for desperation as she kicked the parties ass, and basically my cha ended up staying behind shouting at everyone else to run for it. Meanwhile keeping focus on the love interest, and getting them into a duel, because ya know. Problem is love interest is uh, strong as fuck, and easily downs my cha. Basically dooming my cha to the same fate as her, until the party can someday defeat and revive them. Her last words to my cha as she killed her were literally “Now we can be together forever...” so like. there’s THAT. Oh and uh it gets deeper too, my backup cha was actually the Older sister. Who had been searching for the other two the entire time as well, and of course, as she makes it to the town where she’s heard my cha is, she runs into the party in the next session and the first thing she finds out is that YES my cha was here, but also they literally JUST died. Oh also that their little sister was an undead puppet, and now they are becoming one too so like have fun with that. Game ended pretty soon after that though so unfortunately no resolution for their lovestory : (

Also was the time my oneshot cha basically stopped the BBEG by making a wish before they could on this weird fountain thing that was in like the dream world. The Dream/Real world were at odds, and the Door guard along with another cha basically were going to wish for the dream world to become the default world and therefore for the guard to become “real”. There was a cycle repeating, in which magic was being drained/removed from the real world, nad it was basically a Dream VS real world thing going on. So my cha, instead of wishing for the real world to succeed and to return and continue the cycle (and also say fuck the dream people), they wished for both worlds and ended the cycle. Problem is, this specific fountain, required a door guard. And the original one, cursed someone else into it so they werent the guard anymore, who we had to kill to get in. Meaning there was no guard for the wish fountain. We had also killed the original guard, although we spared the BBEG that had teamed up with them. But, instead of cursing the BBEG to become the new door guard and therefore risking the possibility that they too would get up to some fuckery like the original door guard. My cha made themselves become the door guard for all eternity instead, while the other party members took the BBEG with them and went  back to the real world where magic had been restored. 

Ok that was a lot of vague dnd dumping,,, there is always more,,, like for example, one of my current characters is an actual catgirl so ya know. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the DND dumping of information <3

(Also in case you’re interested in more dnd stuff, i have a dnd blog where i put my chas when i remember to draw them, and just other rando stuff @this-is-where-dnd-stuff-goes I haven’t finished drawing any of them in a long time, mostly just sketches, but ya kno they exist on there)

[skunkpixels]

May or may not be some form of aro but the environment this site had harbored for that kind of experimentation is hmmmmmm scary

[claire-de-macarune]

Get ready kids because somebody called for all the Hayley Kiyoko asks

sleepover: have you ever liked a friend as more than a friend? did you tell them? if it was in the past, do you wish that you told them?

Ugghhhh yea. I’ve told some and not others. The current one is rough because she’s straight (?) and we talked about her boy problems and i just wanted her to be happy, so i worked some fairy gaymother magic and now they’re dating which is… yeah.

I just kinda sucked it up and made a playlist into which i deposit all my sad gay pining. It’s about three hours long and Sleepover is the first track.

curious: do you drink? what’s your favourite drink? what drink isn’t your thing?

I am a connoisseur of fine juices. ;)

I’m a big smoothie girl, so a mango smoothie bubble tea is probably my fave. I like sodas or bitter things, for the most part. I’m a wine mom type and definitely think that it will be my alcohol go-to once I’m of age,

girls like girls: what’s your sexuality? how did you discover it? or have you just always known?

I’m a lesbean. :)

My first crush was Daphne from Scooby-Doo (i’ve given you that information, now use it wisely. by which i mean, don’t use it. please god.), so that was a landmark. I kind of always subconsciously know, but growing up I didn’t actually know what being LGBT+ was because my parents never made a big deal about it. We have straight friends, we have gay friends, so I wasn’t aware that sexuality and discourse around it was even a thing until I was around twelve. 

feelings: how do you think others perceive you? how do you perceive yourself? 

People find me intimidating because I’m confident, intentional, verbose, and organized. That’s how I like it.

I alternate between between our class emotional support animal and class cryptid, and it’s the most fun thing ever. I am both mom and monster muahahaha

gravel to tempo: have you come out to anyone? if yes, who was the first person you told? if no, do you want to? who would you tell first?

I don’t actually remember first coming out to anyone in particular. There was one time when my group of friends (3 other girls) and i were having a sleepover and they were all like, “we’re bi” and i was like “what’s that” and they were like “we like girls too” and i was like “cool. i mean, personally i think boys suck and look like potatoes carved by a toddler and when i entertain the notion of kissing or marrying one i would literally rather eat sandpaper for the rest of my life, but cool” and they were like “how are you so comfortable with this? a lesbian GOD!” and i just went with it.

(for the record, it wasn’t a trendy thing and they were really scared and all felt really gross about it bc their religious families taught them that being gay was wrong and didn’t talk about bisexuality at all so i went out and did some research and came back and assured them that everything they were feelign was valid and okay and we were really safe spaces for each other in that shitty middle school time when everything is just awful. nothing but love and respect for my first priestesses and bi babes!)

pretty girl: who was the most recent crush you had? do you still like them? did you tell them/do you want to tell them?

(see sleepover. this song is also on the playlist.)

what i need: who are your favourite gay artists? what are your favourite gay songs?

Well, Hayley Kiyoko (obviously), Janelle Monae, and King Princess are the big ones. I’m always open to hearing more! Honorable mentions to “Know Your Name” by Mary Lambert, “Crimson and Clover” by Joan Jett, and the soundtrack of Fun Home (even though it’s got some problematic things with predatory gays) because I cry every time I listen to it, especially on “Changing My Major”, “Days and Days and Days”, and fuckin “Telephone Wire” (“Come to the Fun Home” is a whole bop. Only gay in that I, a certified gay, enjoy it.)

ease my mind: what makes you feel at peace? what is your perfect future like? what do you do at the end of a long day to unwind?

Reading, writing (in theory lol), drawing, and singing relax me (dance too, but I’m not allowed to do it anymore cuz I’m broken). I also recently started teaching myself the guitar.

I don’t really have a set perfect future, but honestly, I’d take one in which we avoid nuclear winter, world war III, and climate change. The more I think about growing up, the more skeptical I become about whether I’ll actually get to do it and that’s insanely scary.

let it be: who was your worst heartbreak? have you ever been in love? do you even believe in love?

TW: suicide

One of my best friends (⅓ of my nervous bi darlings) ended her life almost two years ago. So that fuckin’ messed me up.

I don’t know. Usually, I’d say I think I’m kind of young to really even know how, but that’s not quite true. I guess I’ll say that I have loved but I haven’t yet been in love. Theoretically speaking, there’s so much of my life ahead of me that the probability of having that experience so early, especially with a limited romantic pool (being a queer poc in the south), is low.

And I’ve just recently fallen in love with myself, thus heightening my standards. I’ve been awful about getting into relationships in the past because i was afraid of saying no and hurting that person’s feelings, but lately i value my own happiness above the appeasement of others to my detriment. I just feel like I’m still learning and getting comfortable in that space, and the opportunity hasn’t really presented itself yet. But i think that it’s possible, someday. I’m a hopeful hopeless romantic.

cliff’s edge: what’s on your bucket list? where would like to travel? what makes your heart race?

I want to try everything at least once. I want to learn how to be the truest, most fully-realized version of myself I can. I don’t have a set list of life, I just hope it will be some kind of spectacular.

I want to see the world. Everywhere. But beyond that, I want to be a part of it. I want to be a true global citizen, experience a life past myself every day. I dream of having the freedom to continuously explore and grow in hopes of doing some good, internally or externally, along the way.

he’ll never love you: were you ever in denial about your sexuality? were you ever in denial of a crush? do you like to talk about your crushes to your friends?

Not denial, per se, I just didn’t know what was going on. It was a pretty straightforward, comfortable call once I had the information I needed.

I’m able to employ logic in most situations and strip myself of an unwanted crush using that, but most i’m aware of and suffer in silence.

Yesss. I’m bad at making those kinds of decisions by myself and having people who genuinely care ask me questions or even just talk to me about it helps me process. Often, this results in being teased about said crush, but I don’t mind.

wanna be missed: how dependent or independent are you in a relationship? do you like a lot of space, or a lot of intimacy? how do you feel about electronic (vs face to face) communication?

Ummm, I kinda tend to lead, just because that’s what I’m accustomed to. It’s a role I fill because everyone else avoids it in the other arenas of my life, so I’ve mostly been independent and directing in my relationships. This last one actually threw me for a loop because the dynamic was flipped; they were so sweet and thoughtful and proactive in romancing me i didn’t really know what to do with myself. I’ve gotten over the initial shock (now, what, 5? 6 months later?) and found that I liked that too.

I like a healthy balance of distance and closeness. Fun fact: my love languages are quality time and physical touch, so when i’m with someone i pretty much just want to cuddle with them all the time. I don’t know, it really depends on the person and the relationship and whatever is going on with me individually.

I’m cool with digital communication, but i’m also a granny when it comes to technology so I can have a little trouble with more nuanced text/social media culture. Also, my phone is always on silent (not even vibrate, because i’m wacky like that) so if you want an immediate answer, face-to-face is better. Also the physical touch thing, also that way i can read expressions better.

Bonus: i can also hold your hand and kiss your cute face!

under the blue/take me in: are you happy where you are right now? if you could change one thing about your life, what would it be? what’s your favourite aspect of yourself?

I mean, I’d rather not be in constant debilitating pain, I (apparently) have some tangling with anxiety i need to do, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I’m a lot better than I have been, and I’m grateful for that. I don’t know if true happiness is a consistent, determinable state, but I take what I can get.

I don’t think there’s one big thing I would change. It’s more like a handful of small things. But if I had to choose, I’d fix whatever is wrong with my spine/neck/whatever. I feel like I’m on the cusp of my life finally beginning and I’m trapped by something as trivial as my body. It’s exhausting and I really need it to be over. It feels selfish, but I could do the most good for myself and others if I could put this behind me.

Favorite aspect of myself? That’s like asking me to pick a favorite book! Or child! Impossible: that’s a trick question. Sure, she’s a batshit, messy bitch, but I love myself. She and I are in it for the long run. ;)

palace: who is your favourite memory? what’s your favourite story with/about them? why don’t you two speak anymore?

The first girl I ever loved is mostly a memory now. It’s hard to pick a favorite story about her, but our first kiss story is pretty soft and gay, kind of like something out of a fairytale or a tropey fic, so I guess I’ll say that.

We had just finished seventh grade. 

Some background: That April, we went to D.C. for our annual class trip. There were ten of us and only four girls, so we all shared a hotel room (and they were roommates!) We split the beds (we’d all known each other for seven years, it was just like sharing with a sister) and stayed up super late, intermittently playing truth or dare and talking about life. She and I philosophized into the early morning (there was only one bed!!), she told me she liked me, and I fell asleep before I could do anything about it. Apparently, we ended up cuddling, because when I woke up, i was warm because she’d wrapped around me (and drooled down my collarbone, but whatever).

Okay, so, every spring, after graduation, our school had a picnic at the park down by a shallow length of the river where the kids would swim after lunch. We hadn’t done anything about our feelings yet, and I was leaving for another school. She took me around the bend in the river and we swam into the basin there. She wasn’t as strong a swimmer as I was, so she put her arms around my neck, and I held us both up in water deeper than both of us were tall. She said she was going to miss me, and then she kissed me. For a while.

Then, we saw a snake and frantically flailed to shore, laughing until our lungs hurt.

We don’t talk anymore because she became mentally unstable soon after that, and it wasn’t safe for either of us to continue interacting. I’ve seen her a few times since, but I don’t anticipate that we’ll ever be that close again, and that’s okay.

mercy/gatekeeper: what was a difficult time in your life? what did you do/what are you doing to get through it? who has been the most helpful?

molecules: have you ever lost anyone close to you? if yes, how did it feel at the time and how does it feel now to talk about them? do you fear death?

TW: suicide

One of my childhood best friends killed herself in the first month of our freshman year. It was totally out of the blue, and the timing was absolutely horrible. I was just getting everything I wanted, I was having the time of my life and then everything just stopped in its tracks. Except it didn’t. The world kept turning and she was gone and I had lab reports due and she was gone and there were play rehearsal and holidays and deadlines and life incessantly barreling forward and she was gone. I woke every morning with a pit in my stomach, I didn’t sleep, I didn’t eat. It was like something had been cut open inside me and life was just pouring out behind me but I couldn’t feel any of it. And no one else around me seemed to care. Every day I felt like I was dying. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t breathe, and everyone else had a smile on their face and laughed like it was nothing and complained about stubbing toes and bad grades and fighting with their parents.

I don’t really know how I got through it. I mean, I went to therapy, but it didn’t really help. I couldn’t talk to people about it, even when I wanted to. I couldn’t cry for the longest time. I wrote about it some. I left her voicemails. I raged through glass recycling. I guess I just trudged on, dragged myself onward because stopping wasn’t an option. Because if I did, even for a moment, I wouldn’t have enough strength to start again.

I’m better now, I guess. I can talk about it and her and I feel mostly human most days, but it’s still a presence in my life I wish I could escape. I still don’t know where they buried her.

I do not fear death.

one bad night: do you like casual or serious relationships? have you ever done anything illegal, wrong, or stupid for the sake of love?

Hoo boy, I’m bad at casual relationships. I get too attached (*feelings plays in the background*), and it becomes serious. Oddly enough, it doesn’t really scare people away. The older I get the further I’ll probably get from playful dalliances, but every once in a while, as the stakes are low, I’m down for just having fun and enjoying someone’s company.

palm dreams: do you like parties or quiet nights in? would you want to/did you stay in your hometown after moving out? what’s your ideal saturday night like?

I am an introverted smol, and big parties make me nervous. I can handle and even enjoy the odd bash here and there, but too many too often wears me out. Smaller groups are better, but my favorite size is a book or maybe one other human.

Nooooooo, man, I am going to college out of state, far away, and I am not moving back here. I love my city dearly, but I need to find my own corner of the sky. :)

I love a night at the theatre, preceded by a quiet dinner with a couple close friends and followed by something sweet, some tea, and reading a good book with my feline.

Ienzo, Larxene, and Xion for the character asks?

under a cut bc this got looong

Ienzo:Favourite thing: the infodumping. love my beautiful autistic sonLeast favourite thing: filling up all the room in the kh3 script with his infodumping and leaving no lines for dilan and aeleus. I forgive him thoughFavourite line: this is a little arbitrary but I will never be over him calling vexen a “devious researcher”. you little shit that’s your dad you’re talking aboutbrOTP: I am desperate to see him interact directly with chip and dale. he talks about working with them! he instagumms pictures of them! the most adorable science team in history!OTP: ienzo is kind of hard to ship bc of his conflicting/ambiguous chronological and emotional ages but with certain character interpretations I can get really into ienzo/riku!nOTP: aeleus, for reasons I hope should be obviousRandom headcanon: after kh3 he’s a big proponent of rejecting the world order. he wants to supply as many worlds as possible with communication and travel tech, reconnecting the worlds in a new way that doesn’t require a universe reset. he’s pretty outspoken on this matter.Unpopular opinion: uhhhhhhhh idk I’m drawing a blank on this oneSong: 

Favourite picture:

I’m sorry ienzo I do love you I promise

Larxene:Favourite thing: she’s SO unapologetic. she’s here for the drama and doesn’t give a fuckLeast favourite thing: how she’s always shown as a little bit subordinate to marluxia... let them be equal co-conspiratorsFavourite line: I don’t remember the exact wording but the bit where she’s like “oh no sora the bad guys have locked up namine :( you’d better go save her :( :( shame I’M a bad guy though BITCH” is excellentbrOTP: marluxia and larxene are mlm wlw solidarity (I do ship them romantically but only when marluxia is a trans woman)OTP: larxene and darkqua should kissnOTP: I’m pretty sure I saw a larxene/demyx fic one time and. uh. no thank you.Random headcanon: even if strelitzia turned out not to be her sister she still has big older sibling energy and she definitely had some number of younger siblings she pretended to not care about but absolutely did care about. also she’s transUnpopular opinion: I hope the romanisation of her somebody name is Erlena, not Elrena Song:

Favourite picture: this fanart (mildly nsfw, very tame lingerie)

Xion:Favourite thing: she’s CANON TRANS babeyLeast favourite thing: I do like her but I wish she could have been introduced in a way where she didn’t have to be erased from reality for the rest of the games to make sense. it doesn’t really feel like it does justice to either her or roxas...Favourite line: “Hmm... When in doubt...give it a good smack?“ is an underappreciated gembrOTP: roxasOTP: namine but olette is extremely close behind and xion can and should have two girlfriendsnOTP: no boys allowed xion is lesbeanRandom headcanon: when she tries flavours of icecream other than sea-salt she’s like “oh, what? this slaps”. sea-salt is important to her for nostalgia reasons but she will only eat it with roxas and lea bc there’s so many other good flavours out there to tryUnpopular opinion: lea (and doubly isa) isn’t an acceptable guardian for her and she should not live with him after kh3 unless they’re both in the care of someone else more responsible. he’s not necessarily a bad person or unforgivable but there’s a LOT of space between “redeemable” and “appropriate parental figure” y’knowSong:

Favourite picture: hard to say but this one is up there

[wovencircle]

¬ romance headcanons.

name :  sakuya nickname : none unless you count the insulting ones like “giant woman” and “godzilla” lmao gender :  cisgender female romantic orientation :  homosexual/homoromantic preferred pet names :  prince 8^))) relationship status :  single in “canon” until she gets together with chiaki but she’s multi-ship on the blog! favorite canon ship :  sakuya/chiaki favorite non-canon ship :  ahhh i can’t pick a favorite bc she’s dating two girls atm but two other ships were in the works a while ago which i’m always open to starting up again if the muns come back and i just love seeing her different interactions with each girl she dates so i love them all <33 opinion on true love :  i think deep down she believes in it. after realizing her feelings for chiaki she definitely started to believe in it bc she felt (and still feels) such a deep connection to her that she doesn’t feel with anyone else. she won’t love anyone more than she loves chiaki. but i guess that’s open to changing in “blog canon” since i have her as multi-ship so it’s kinda confusing siolfjg BUT YEAH she believes it exists for certain people but she also believes some people are naive and it isn’t really “true love” like they think it is. opinion on love at first sight :  it’s pretty much the same thing as true love and she believes that some people are fated to be together since she feels that way about chiaki. but she also believes too many people are simply infatuated and “love at first sight” is a really fleeting thing for most people. they feel deep and passionate in the moment but it doesn’t last. how ‘romantic’ are they? :  SO ROMANTIC she loves spoiling and praising ladies omg she doesn’t always do the whole cliche candle-lit dinners with roses thing but she’s romantic bc she does things that her girlfriend desires. if her girlfriend loves ferris wheel rides at sunset then you bet she’s taking her on that type of date. she loves doing gestures that she knows are her girlfriend’s fantasies and that will make her swoon ;))) ideal physical traits :  she has a strong preference for feminine girls! she’s very masculine herself and doesn’t like making herself look feminine at all so her type are the super pretty/girly ladies. she’s attracted to girls with medium to long hair length but she appreciates short hair too! in terms of hair color she has a pretty equal preference for both blondes and brunettes. ideal personality traits :  she looooves shy girls. she’s loud and confident herself so she finds shy, quiet girls absolutely precious. she also really wants to help them come out of their shells a little and feel more comfortable if she can. it probably stems from knowing chiaki her whole life but she feels empathetic towards shy girls since she’s aware of how often they’re ignored by others and how they don’t always feel like they fit in. she likes to take the initiative and help them feel included and accepted. that went into a tangent sifjgk but basically she loves shy, soft-spoken girls with big hearts who have more depth to them than they let show. unattractive physical traits :  she’s really not vain so appearance isn’t what she focuses on and it’s not at all a “requirement” for her. but sometimes she feels a bit standoffish towards other big tall women bc she’s so competitive at heart. [highlander voice] there can be only one unattractive personality traits : insincerity is a huge turn-off for her bc she’s such a passionate and fiery person. she really gives her all in a committed relationship so she never wants to feel like it’s one-sided or that she’s simply being used. she’s not opposed to flings or one night stands but she needs to know that’s what it is. if she really, really likes a girl but it’s not the same for her partner then she wants to know that so they won’t waste each other’s time or break each other’s hearts by the end. ideal date :  probably going out somewhere at night! since she’s the type to spoil her girlfriend and pamper her she hasn’t actually given very much thought to what kind of stuff she likes. but given that nighttime is when she feels more lively, she would probably love to go to a movie or dinner and then find a nice place to simply watch the stars for a while. stargazing isn’t something that she’s totally in love with but it’s more that she loves being in nature at night in general. do they have a type? :  kinda already rambled about it lol but yes her type is very feminine and very gentle, soft-spoken girls. it also balances out her own fiery, extroverted personality. average relationship length :  i’m not too sure since her only canon ship is with chiaki?? but they’re not even “officially” dating yet so?? i’m not sure about this but i do imagine that her relationships can go for a long, long time if both of them are fully invested in it since when she truly loves someone she’s in it for the long haul. preferred non-sexual intimacy :  CUDDLING!!! she’s just a giant heater and she would spend all day smothering her girlfriend if she could. commitment level : she’s so deeply committed when she’s in love so if her girlfriend feels the same way then she’ll devote all of herself to the relationship. she would never even consider cheating bc she finds that unforgivable and if she loves someone, why would she ever want to hurt them like that? opinion of public affection : she’s totally guilty of loving to tease a girl in public omfg nothing blatant or noticeable since that’s rude but she loves to discreetly whisper teasing things in her ear and give little touches and steal some kisses and i hate her??? past relationships? : none so far!

[smallblueandloud]

B, F, H, I, J, M, R, S, T- oh my god that is so many!! sorry!

you’re good!! for this ask meme! under a cut because i like to TALK.

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

answered here!

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

i am not gonna put that one conversation between donna and helen santos again but THAT ONE’S STILL MY FAVORITE. another scene though. hmm.

“Right, because you didn’t spend much time with her?” It’s a question, because Miriam is trying to confirm details. Lyra thinks back to her life story. She’s kept it as close to reality as she can, which makes remembering harder - but makes her feel better.

More importantly, it makes Pan feel better. She’s realized that it’s a good idea to compromise with Pan on easy things so that he’ll let her do the difficult things. Not that there’s much of those these days.

“Right,” says Lyra. “Oxford College was taking care of me, mostly. Mrs. Coulter - my mother,” she amends. Pan puts his paw on her bare neck. “My mother couldn’t be too involved, because of- well. The scandal.”

Miriam laughs. “Yes, of course. My friend Lyra, the scandal.”

Lyra grins. “One does one’s best.”

This makes Miriam laugh even harder.

honestly i’m really really proud of bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust in general, but i LOVED talking about lyra and the careful way she lies. when she was a kid, she used to invent stories like nobody’s business, but now that she’s older she has more moral qualms and she’s trying to be more of an adult while also not giving up the vibrant bits that made her lyra? idk how much sense this makes, but this fic was VERY MUCH a reaction to the secret commonwealth.

i loved the way i could imply so much about her feelings about mrs. coulter just by that one hesitation. i loved how easy it was to show her lying, because we KNOW the story and we KNOW lyra lies to people. this was such a fun fic to write and the dialogue was kind of the central way i contrasted her childhood vs early adulthood.

i’m also really proud of that toby/andy scene.

H: How would you describe your style?

uhhhhh i think i try to focus on making things as real as possible? you can feel like you’re the pov character because their emotions are real. vivid is the right word. i’m aiming for vivid.

i also really like describing people’s mannerisms and trying to be as in-character as possible. i haven’t gotten to the point of coming up with NEW mannerisms yet (except with fitz’s stutter in the magnum opus) but i enjoy writing lines that you can hear the characters say.

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

angst? definitely MCD angst. i can’t even READ it most of the time because it makes me so SAD but i’m just. yeah. give me the mourning. logan/jean really came for me personally. i’m also a big fan of protectiveness - daisy’s speech to jemma in the magnum opus, about “i will come and get you”, was COMPLETELY self-indulgent and i enjoyed it WAY MORE than it served any character development or plot.

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].

uhh i think i wrote a long thing about this for like half my fics a few months ago, but in another world i wrote a lot more for keep on keeping on and it had more about blue pearl’s feelings about the terrifying renegade pearl that was helping rose quartz. also, there’s an alternate ending where the crystal gems arrive on homeworld in less pleasant circumstances - basically “the trial” if pearl was there, let’s be honest - and blue recognized pearl and it was. A Lot. it would’ve been a lot. i still kind of want to write that fic, tbh.

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

currently the fic i’m most excited about is for a fandom i’ve barely talked about before, where [name redacted] is stuck in a time loop and keeps trying to save [name redacted] and in the last loop, which takes place right after [title redacted], she takes him and [names redacted] on a desperate road trip where, among other things, we find out that her sister actually dated BOTH [name redacted] and [name redacted] in high school. also both her love interest and [name redacted] are autistic, because i make the rules and the rules are that lesbean says they’re autistic.

i’m also TEMPTED to start a giant project of creating my own xmen canon, in the style of unpretty’s sorrowful and immaculate hearts, because i don’t have enough to do in my life apparently. polyamory would abound. if anyone’s interested in this PLEASE ask me about it because i have THOUGHTS.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

my entire sense of humor stems from douglas adams and in an ideal world i would be able to write comedy and it would just be his style. uhh i’m sure i have other influences but it’s hard to think of any at the moment. i know which writers i ADMIRE but i don’t know if they’ve INFLUENCED me, if you know what i mean? dirgewithoutmusic, i would say, and probably also. uh. this fic right here influenced me when i was YOUNG and IMPRESSIONABLE and it still takes me out at the knees.

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

protectiveness! reveals in the middle of action! someone’s found family meeting their friends and realizing they (the found family) is REALLY IMPORTANT to their person actually! cool powers! characters being clever! jokes that are very specific references to canon! worldbuilding! longing!

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

changing people so they’re less scary and more “normal” (this is specifically about fic written about natasha romanoff). people being ooc. a couple’s friends seemingly being entirely dedicated to the couple’s wellbeing and relationship and not having lives of their own. shipping a young (usually female) person with their father figure. buying into canon’s infidelity storyline when it’s ooc and could just as easily be polyamory (this is specific but i’m Right). every fanwork focusing on a white minor character instead of the main character of color.

thank you for the ask!!

Klance fic recs

Just a collection of some of my favorite Keith and Lance fics. I’ll probably add to this as it goes.

Bold - Favorite Fics ★ - VLD Verse but knowledge of specific details of canon plot is not required

calling me to come back by aknightley Teen and Up | 50,464 | 1/1

Keith is a witch who owns a shop where he breaks curses on both magical items and people under spells. Love spells, family curses passed down generations, cursed heirlooms lurking the attic -- he can handle them all. But one day a boy named Lance walks into his shop, and his curse is darker and more difficult to break than anything Keith has ever seen before: the curse is draining his magic, and without his magic, Lance will die.

the universe has moved for us by aknightley General | 6,850 | 1/1 | Sequel to calling me to come back

Keith carefully waits until the bell stops ringing and then makes his way to the back of the shop, into his office, where Lance is slumped over the desk with a dozen books spread out in front of him. A huge red and white cat is laying on top of the keyboard of the laptop shunted off to the side, her tail flicking back and forth. They both appear to be asleep.

it’s all in my head by aknightley ★ Teen and Up | 7,660 | 1/1

"Uh," Pidge said, "Lance? Buddy? What's the deal?"

"That's Lance?" Hunk shouted, somehow still ramming ships away from the castle; Keith felt like bubbles were bursting in his head, effervescent pops of giddy fear mixed with conviction. Lance, he thought, Lance feels like this. "Thank God, I thought I was going crazy for a second."

so why don’t we fall by aknightley ★ Explicit | 8,218 | 1/1

Five times Lance used a pet name for Keith, and one time Keith used one for Lance.

Keith has no basis for having a relationship with someone, so he's trying to follow Lance's lead.

the stars are bound to change by angstinspace ★ Teen and Up | 50,828 | 9/9

Both paladins turned to their new, small alien companion. She lifted her head to look at each of them in turn, her eyes round. Keith laid a gentle hand on her shoulder.

“How about you, Zola?” he said. “Are you ready to go?”

She didn’t answer right away. Then she hesitantly asked, “Where are we going?”

As he made eye contact with Lance over her head, Keith could have sworn he felt something electric in the air: a simultaneous resurgence of determination.

“We’re going to take you home.”

Keith and Lance rescue a little alien girl from a hostage situation and bring her home ... and learn a few things about themselves and each other along the way.

pepsicola by corydalis ★ Teen and Up | 10,328 | 1/1

It starts like this: Lance looking up at the scoreboard only a few days into his Garrison training and muttering to himself, “What the hell kind of a name is Keith?”

-- Or, Keith and Lance fall in love. Eventually.

phlogiston by corydalis ★ Teen and Up | 2,101 | 1/1

When Lance was eight years old, his abuelita sat him on her knee and told him; love is a leveler.

At the time, Lance had no idea what she meant. Love was still a rather far-off and foreign concept, but he was enamoured with the general idea behind it, even if it seemed a bit confusing. The phrase stuck with him, but had ultimately been pushed to the back of his mind when he couldn’t figure it out.

Now though, his back arched against the wall and Keith burning caustic kisses into his skin, he thinks he might get it.

nothing’s quite as sweet by dimpleforyourthoughts Teen and Up | 50,369 | 1/1

Keith is a barista who hates his job. Lance works at the cat shelter across the street.

For the Soul by kali_asleep Teen and Up | 4,835 | 1/1

Her eyes are glued to the glowing screen in front of her as she, with surgical precision, cuts straight to the muscle of the matter: “I'm a scientist, not a love life counselor. Tell Lance to quit being a baby and drag his congested ass to a healing pod.”

Lance is sick. Keith isn't sure how to help.

Today, anew by MemeKonVLD ★  Mature | 5,910 | 6/6

“Lance.”

Lance’s eyebrows furrow in concern for a second before his whole face goes gentle and open.

“Hey buddy, everything okay?”

Keith nods. Then shakes his head, then opens his mouth to let out a noisy sob before he’s hugging the air out of Lance, grip vise tight.

Lance hugs him back. That’s one of the great things about him— he doesn’t— he doesn’t need explanations for things like this. He doesn’t make Keith jump through hoops, the way other people might— he’s just— he just knows what Keith needs in times like this. No façades, no posturing.

(Or: the one where Keith is trapped in a time loop. A time loop from hell.)

How to Steal a Prince by Ms_Towa Teen and Up | 20,295 | 1/1

“Your eyes just—they just light up whenever you see Lance though!” Hunk argued. “Let’s compare how many times you’ve been in New Orleans Square back when you were working attractions and now. I’m pretty sure the numbers have definitely skyrocketed. You’re totally seeking out Lance, man.”

“I am not,” Keith tried. “They have good churros there.”

“Keith, they have good churros literally everywhere,” Hunk quipped. “You cannot walk three steps in Disneyland without seeing another churro cart.”

Or, an alternate universe where, come summer, most of Keith's pining happens at the happiest place on Earth.

The Six Gun Sound (Our Claim to Fame) by Mytay ★ Mature | 13,403 | 1/1 | Part 2 of Trouble’s Making Everything All Right (NOTE: This is my favorite part of this series, and it can be read as a standalone.)

“We’re not robbing the bank of the biggest crime lord here, Lance. Do you have a death wish?!”

“Let’s just do our damn best to not die. I am too gorgeous to expire this early, dude — I haven’t even hit my prime yet.”

Six weeks after crashing landing on this miserable world, the Red and Blue Paladins are on the verge of losing everything. This is how Lance and Keith turned it all around and earned their badass reputation as The Two McClains: Mercenaries That Get The Job Done.

Where the Lions Roam by Mytay ★ Teen and Up | 7,002 | 1/1

“ ... tell me why Blue is making the moves on Keith.”

Pidge stared at him, a touch incredulous. “You really haven’t figured it out?”

“Pidge. I am very intelligent, but I am not a genius,” Lance said patiently. “Spell it out for me.”

“Well, you just sort of answered your own question,” Pidge said, snorting. “Your Lion is making the moves on Keith — and by ‘moves’ I mean responding to your abject terror whenever Keith is in danger.”

Cuddle Puddle by nothingwrongwiththerain ★ Teen and Up | 46,782 | 6/6

Unexpectedly, Shiro’s hand landed on the top of his head. Apparently with Lance and Hunk taking up all the shoulder real estate, Shiro would settle for ruffling Keith’s hair.

Keith was fairly certain his soul was about to detach and abandon his shaking body on the couch. He was surrounded, in the complete and total sense of the word, by other people. Not once before, not in his whole life, had he dealt with a situation like this one.

Or, five times Keith found himself too close for comfort and one time he couldn't get close enough.

Though he be but smol, he is fierce! by Reader115 ★ Teen and Up | 16,827 | 1/1

It started like this. One second, he was shooting at sentries, and the next second he was on his ass on the cold metal floor of the Galra base due to an extremely rude shove from Keith.

Of course, from his new horizontal position, he got a front row seat to the shiny purple beam — that had previously been aimed for his chest — hitting Keith directly instead.

And then Keith disappeared.

Sort of.

I mean, he's not the science guy, so disappeared is probably the wrong word. Regular-sized Keith disappeared anyway. And Lance was left staring wide-eyed and open-mouthed at a tiny, oh so very smol Keith unconscious on the ground beside him.

We’ll Be Counting Stars by southspinner Teen and Up | 2,958 | 1/1

Keith's just trying to navigate the collegiate mine-field of tests, social circles, and sleep-deprivation while still maintaining a fragile grip on his sanity. The last thing he needs is some snapback-clad fraternity president making him re-evaluate his entire existence, but of course, because the universe hates him, that's exactly what he gets.

As If by surveycorpsjean ★ Mature | 6,924 | 1/1

The five times Lance was his impulse control, and the one time he wasn't.

Like Devo by surveycorpsjean Explicit | 8,371 | 1/1

As rival jammers, they're rough, skating around the rink, giving bruises, bloody noses, broken ribs and snapped fingers-

But when the cops show up, Keith grabs his hand and yanks Lance into the storm drain.

And that’s how they start dating.

Nightmares by Trashness ★ Teen and Up | 14,864 | 1/1

Lance's nightmares are getting out of control. It's effecting his and the team's performance, but he's at a loss for how to fix this.

Apparently sleeping next to a warm body helps.

it grows stronger by tylerproposey Teen and Up | 8,979 | 1/1

College campuses are a cesspool of awkward encounters. Some more unnerving than others, as Lance comes to find. He thinks it's important to note that in all those instances, Keith is there to witness them. Actually, that's unfair. Admittedly Keith happens be useful in getting him out of those situations. Affection, as it goes, grows stronger when you're constantly being "saved" by a protective rival – but mostly friend at this point.

Or 5 times Keith helped Lance out of a situation and the 1 time Lance tried to pay back the saves.

No Greater Gift by usernicole ★ Teen and Up | 20,062 | 1/1

Keith gets a cat, learns the True Meaning of Family, and falls in love. In that order.

your favorite ghosts and planets by xShieru Teen and Up | 16,664 | 1/1

In hindsight, an asthma attack in the middle of the day wasn’t such a terrible way to give up the ghost.

Except this isn't how he imagined afterlife.

An AU about being dead.

she was kinda sheltered at the same time tho.... like home schooled wt a couple other kids from her road nd never rly went out of her county other than for shopping stuff 

it gave her this feAR of like the outside world not rly fear but like tbh she’s very intimidated by it all even tho at the same time she loves it bc like it’s a big crowd no one knows u no one knows ur loony mum even tho that’s also why she hates it

she’s kinda like a modern day fake hippie like she’s all abt peace and love nd does yoga to balance her shakras but that like.... makes her feel like her life is nice n balanced she’s been like that since bein a baby 

when she was 14 she got diagnosed wt lukemia ST SHE NEVER TALKS ABT EVER nd it was like rly weird nd bad for her not bc of the actual cancer but like her parents reacted so weird like they got kinda distant nd did not handle it well at all nd were like emotionally absent nd it made them fight all the time and yeah vry sad /: bc she could sense they were sad nd rly blamed herself /:

she got 2 remission eventually  but in the hospital she made a rly goo d friend who didn’t make it nd it was hr first real experience with death nd he was the same age as her nd it rly just shook her up nd definitely didnt help wt her anxiety like she def doesnt live life fully n e more

@ 16 after they were sure she was in remission her dad joined the military after leaving or however the american version works nd they had 2 move , nd then move again nd dallas kinda rly developed a taste for that like she likes the idea of being new and fresh w/o ppl looking at her 

her mom didn’t take it well nd she became distant like permanently nd kinda checked out on dallas nd she would apologize after disappearing 4 days nd it’d be ok n then she would go do it again nd have no money nd be in rough shape acting like a total scrub asking HER for money nd yeaaaaa

it was just really disappointing to her ////: nd it rly shook dallas up bc like she was older then not like when her mom got distant when she was a kid and got mad at her nd there ws a big giant fight b4 dallas left for college nd her nd her mom didn’t speak for a long time 

n e ways dallas came for computer nerd stuff bc that kid she met in the hospital got her into it nd she’s loved it every since like trynna be mr.robot over here for real even tho like,,,, she rly wants to be a game developer like she’s so fckn nerdy about that 

she’s so like,,,,, structured nd type a partially bc she had no structure like any of her life hfjdkghjthrgj so she hates feeling lost or out of control nd she just rly needs.... a break.... she needs 2 have fun and not care for once

she’s so competitive too /: it’s like she feels like she has something to prove like bc she doesn’t want 2 end up like her mom she’s so proud it’s literally so annoying /:::: 

she’s so scared of like,,, everything i mean i wouldnt say like scared but she used 2 be so sheltered that it’s like..... nerve racking she’s a v flighty and anxious person but like on the inside most of the time ghfjkhgjkfh

this girl is so kind like........ she doesn’t have a selfish bone in her body she’s nice just bc it’s the right thing 2 do nd like if ur mean.... she might cry but she won’t even be mean to u i don’t think she knows how 2 be 

it’s kinda hard to tell sometimes tho like her personality is kinda like the resting bitch face thing bc she’s so awkward nd quiet tht ppl probs think like “wow she’s rly stuck up ,, thinks she’s better than everyone else” but they’re all bein fooled 

she’s like,,,, a gaming goddess like legit ppl know abt her she’s a staple in the community 

she found out like a few months ago the lukemia relapsed nd she’s like /: kind of detached from the fact that like... wrow that’s bad nd it’s like bad timing too bc her is coming back into her life atm nd she doesn’t want her 2 find out abt it and get weird again nd like,,,, she doesn’t rly wanna tell anybody ya /: 

her mom is already letting her down tho /: she doesn’t want to see it but /: she’s still up 2 the same tricks  /: 

dallas is already becoming like,,, successful :))) so proud of my baby she’s already put some apps out nd worked under some p big deals so like :))) im so proud of her 

she’S SO NERDY oh my god even her humor is like lame.... but like in the hip dad joke lame way it’s actually rly cute

is a sensitive baby 

eyah she’s adorable im v excited for her she just needs 2 loosen up ... a lot ... she needs 2 be cared abt

plots mayb???

anything here

bff someone tht she’s comfortable with nd actually 100% herself around it’d be so cute i love friendships i love brotps she probs make s them a lot of food and sends them the freshest memes nd like... beautiful 

unexpected friends like not 2 be stereotypical but someone legit cold nd who doesn’t give a heck abt anything nd is kinda not the nicest like wrow,,,, i love opposites 

hmmmm give me someone who she can crush on .... she a big lesbean .... she’s so awkward 2 ,,, wow

calling other nerds?????? who else is she gon gush too 

ex gfs 

someone who has a lil crush on her wuld be fun too bc she’s so oblivious she’d never notice nt even if they said anything 2 her

jake to her amy like not the romantic way but the shit head odd friendship kinda way ykkkkkkkkkkkkk 

definitely someone who tries to gt her to be wild and drags her 2 random things

older brother/sister protective kinda thing bc she def needs that person in her life for her sanity 

ok elt’s plotttttt

[lesetoilesfous]

Bakugou, Momo, Shouto, for the ask meme

:’D you’re the best

from this post

Bakugou

Sexuality Headcanon: He’s Bi. In my mind, at least. Just, the bi-est bi to ever bi. So explosively bisexual

Gender Headcanon: Prooooooobably cis? But I also think it could be really cool to read him as a trans guy

A ship I have with said character: So I definitely see where people are coming from when they ship him with Deku, or even Shouto. But honestly for me it’s gotta be Kirishima. “It has to be you” comes to mind - reading the manga made me ship them a lot

A friendship I have with said character: Uraraka!!!!! Ochako and Katsuki as sparring partners 4 lyf

A NOTP I have with said character: Hmmm I don’t really have any NOTP’s with Bakugou. I guess there are some people I just don’t think he has a lot of/any chemistry with? Like uh, random example, Jirou. (Possibly also because She Gay)

A random headcanon: So! I don’t think about Bakugou that much, but I like the idea of him being dyslexic? He’s such a nerd, and he works so hard, and I think it would just be interesting to see him dealing with that - and still being the brilliant, clever student that he is. I also like to imagine that could be (a very small part) of the reason for his temper at school - like maybe before he was diagnosed he’d get really frustrated about it? I don’t know but I think it would be good

General Opinion over said character: Bakugou is a guy with anger issues, but I don’t hate him by any means, and I think he’s given a really poor treatment by a lot of the adults in his life - Hakamata springs to mind, and the whole hideous muzzle thing at the sports festival. I feel like people forget that it’s an adults’ responsibility to provide guidance, and that failing to do so is harmful. Bakugou is a good example of exactly how harmful unchecked guidance can be. Also, I don’t think he was going to hurt Shouto when he won in the sports festival, I think he was genuinely afraid that he’d actually badly hurt him. Overall, I like the guy.

Momo

(Did you mean: My AngelI)

Sexuality Headcanon: She’s a lesbian. I really had a long hard think about whether she might be bisexual or ace or pan but. She’s a lesbian. Lesbean.

Gender Headcanon: Sooo, probably a cis lady, but I’ve seen people hc her as a trans lady and honestly I see it too. But probably/definitely on the lady side of the spectrum.

A ship I have with said character: MomoJirou!!! I actually got into bnha because of That One scene in the USJ arc. I was just like oh shit they’re gay. Now here we are.

A friendship I have with said character: Shouto. Honestly you can pry the hc that these two were childhood friends from my cold dead fingers. Also that their friendship is real close to that of siblings, and that they are the Sassiest with each other. Neither Momo nor Shouto are as rude to anyone else as they are to each other, and they adore each other. I also hc that they dated for a while ‘just to check’ whether they could be straight. After a couple of very polite kisses they agreed that they couldn’t, but they provide a dial-a-beard for each other at Rich People parties. 

A NOTP I have with said character: I just don’t ship her with Shouto. I understand people shipping it and like, ship and let ship. Personally I just don’t get the chemistry.

 A random headcanon: Oh man, so many. So, I think Momo is a very academic kind of lesbian. By which I mean - she figured out she was gay when she was like eight. She’s thought about her gender and sexual identity at length and could talk to you about queer theory at length. She’s read pretty much every gay lady writer under the sun and can quote them all extensively. The irony is that she’s so comfortable in her sexuality, people often don’t realise she’s queer. She’s the femme-st femme to ever femme and often the str8s just think she’s one of them, and she doesn’t go out of her way to correct people. She considers her sexuality to be the business of herself and any romantic partners, as well as close friends. I also like to think she and Mina get into extended conversations about sexuality and pop culture. 

General Opinion over said character: I love Momo. Like, hate the costume, cough cough Horikoshi cough. But I love Momo. She’s just, I love the fact that she is the sweetest, most brilliant, clever, kind, compassionate woman: and also that with the ability to create anything she creates a goddamn cannon. Like, for me Momo has this whole side to her that isn’t just daring but brash. Why on earth does she choose shields and swords when presumably she could as easily make knockout gas? For me she just is the original gryffindor spirit, and I adore her for it. Also she could absolutely crush a man’s skull between her thighs. I love that she does better academically than everyone, I love that she’s so physically strong, physically tall and chubby. She’s an angel. I love her.

Shouto

Sexuality Headcanon: He Gay. Again, I considered for a long time whether he might be anything else and for me he is just very homo. The only qualifier is that I could see him as demisexual - but very much homoromantic demisexual.

Gender Headcanon: Another cis boy, I think. For me it’s harder to hc Shouto as trans just because of his whole relationship with Enji. I think you’d have to go AU, whereas i could easily see trans Momo or trans Bakugou as canon-divergent. Similarly, Shouto is probably one of the closest people in 1-A that I could hc as possibly non-binary? But it would probably have to be AU

A ship I have with said character: TODODEKU. HAVE I MENTIONED TODODEKU THOUGH. Yeah I mean. I would explain but you follow this blog. YOU KNOW.

A friendship I have with said character: Momoooooo. For all the reasons listed above. Also, I really like Todo and Ochako becoming friends. For some reason it just appeals to me. And Todo being friends with Tokoyami, and Kaminari, for completely different reasons. Basically I just want to surround him with friends.

A NOTP I have with said character: Personally, I really don’t want to ship him with Bakugou or Momo. With Momo, I just don’t see the chemistry and I hc Todo as gay. With Bakugou - I think Bakugou has issues, I don’t think he’s a bad person. That said, as an abuse victim, abuse victim plus someone with anger issues can be a not-great situation, and in canon Shouto is in a pretty precarious emotional and mental position, living with his dad for example. I feel like Bakugou and Shouto could get real toxic real fast and it would be awful for both of them, and honestly I like them too much as characters to be able to stomach that. That said, I see why people ship it, and ship and let ship y’know

A random headcanon: SO MANY. But ok, I think Shouto is a really strong feminist - like he has Educated himself just because of the gender violence in his life. He also knew he was gay from a very young age, but whilst he doesn’t have an issue with it in himself his father would have a problem with it, so he keeps it discreet. Shouto has navigated media circuses various since he was a kid. His favourite hero is All Might (is this even a headcanon). I like to think Shouto loves video games, especially big strategy sandbox things. Stuff he can get lost in. I think maybe Kaminari or Jirou or both introduce Shouto to them when he moves into his dorms and he just can’t get enough. He cares less about getting trophies than living in this pretend world as long as possible. I think he’s probably meticulous, but I think that’s as much his abuse as a character trait. I hc it takes Shouto a long time to get used to and comfortable with the idea of drinking alcohol - not because of his father but because he’s afraid of losing control over himself. When he does start drinking - always in moderation, I like to think it’s a big cathartic moment for him. Because he trusts himself and the people around him not to fall apart if he relaxes. 

General Opinion over said character: I adore Todoroki Shouto. I think he is phenomenally kind, and exceptionally strong. I think it’s remarkable that after everything he’s dealt with, he comes out of it gentle. He expresses sincere admiration for his peers all the time and that’s so brave given what he’s come from. I love his sass and his dry humour, and I want to see more of it everywhere all the time. I especially love the idea that he ribs Momo relentlessly. I also really hope and dream and wish that one hecking day the UA faculty will do their damn jobs and get him out of his house for good, because it’s not ok for him to still be living with Enji. The longer term the abuse, the deeper the damage. Shouto needs out, and the fact he’s still at home in canon (even with dorms) is something that bothers me all the time. Fortunately right now he’s in love with Midoriya Izuku, and he’s making friends with a large group of superheroes.

Thank you for thiiiis!!!

momojirou, 25!

helo did u want some v fluffy lesbeans bc thats what i have for u

25. “I can’t believe you talked me into this.”

“You know… I’m starting to have second thoughts,” Momo says, a little hesitant as she runs a hand through her hair.  It seemed fun in theory, but in practice, well… she’s just going to make a fool of herself!

Kyouka blinks, lowering the guitar to her lap.  “Why?”

Momo twists her hands in her lap, unable to adequately express why she feels so nervous.  No, not nervous… apprehensive, perhaps.  Yes, that fits better.  “Well, you’ve done way more training in music than me!  Shouldn’t you sing?”

Kyouka laughs, that soft laugh that’s closer to a chuckle really.  “No, silly,” she says.  “I wrote this song for you to sing, ‘cuz I like your voice, y’know.  But if you don’t wanna record it today, we don’t have to.  Or ever, I mean.  I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable!”

“I’m not uncomfortable!” Momo says quickly, her hands flying up to wave placatingly at Kyouka.  “No, I’m just–I’m just self-conscious, I guess.”  She laughs, too, and shakes her head.  “I can’t believe you talked me into this.”

Kyouka grins.  Momo is struck by how at ease she looks, so relaxed and at home with a guitar in her hands and a recording microphone nearby, and sound editing software pulled up on her laptop.  There are sheets of music haphazardly strewn about—an overall score, with Momo’s melody on top of Kyouka’s chords, and also a page with Kyouka’s rapidly scribbled tab notes to herself.  She’s ever so lovely, in her element just like this.  And it’s incredibly sweet of her to bring Momo into this special part of herself, too.

“You’re staring at me,” Kyouka says, lightly nudging her with the bottom of the guitar. “Do you want to do it later?”

“No, no,” Momo laughs.  “We can do it now.  I’d feel bad if I kept putting it off, after all the work you already put into it!”

Kyouka shakes her head.  “Girl,” she says.  “One of these days, I’m gonna get you some self-confidence.  Trust me, your singing voice is good and I like it a lot, and I like hearing you sing, and that’s not just because I’m really gay and you’re really cute no matter what.  Although, that is a bonus.”

“And now you’re making me blush!” protests Momo, her hands flying up to her warm cheeks.  “It goes both ways, I hope you know.  I, um, I was staring because I think you’re really cute, too!”

Kyouka blinks, a little startled, and Momo is pleased to see a little pink flush blossom across her face, too.  At least she’s not the only one still affected by compliments from her girlfriend. (Girlfriend!  Girlfriend!  After several months of silent crushing and half-serious “I-mean-it-if-you-do” flirting, girlfriend!”)

“Also, I really do want to do this.  I just don’t want to mess it up!” she adds.  “You worked so hard, I’m afraid I might… I don’t know, not do it justice?”

Kyouka gives her an indulgent smile and shakes her head.  “Momo, you do know we can just re-record if you stumble or anything?  Just because we’re trying to record it for the first time doesn’t mean it has to be perfect on the first try.”

“Oh,” Momo says, and then feels kind of silly because that part hadn’t really occurred to her.  She stares at her hands in her lap and pretends her face isn’t flushed. “That does make sense, yes.”

“Don’t look like that,” Kyouka tells her, leaning over and placing a hand on top of Momo’s.  “It’s okay to have nerves about recording!  It feels a lot more permanent and than practice, and that can put pressure on you.  I get it, don’t worry!  Definitely been there before myself.  One time before a recital, I actually tried to run away from the stage because I was scared of messing up in front of all those people.  My dad dumped ice water on my head so I could ‘chill out’ and my mom smacked him for messing up my hair.”

Momo laughs, both because of the story (it made her feel better, and pouring cold water on someone to tell them to “chill out” definitely sounds like something Kyouka’s dad would do, from the few times Momo has met him) and because of the warm, fluttery feeling she gets inside every time Kyouka holds her hand and tells her sweet things.

She picks their joined hands up and kisses Kyouka’s knuckles, then smiles.  “You’re very sweet, have I ever told you?”

“Momo!” Kyouka laughs helplessly, squeezing her hand and then withdrawing.  “We came here with a purpose!  Okay, okay. Let’s just get this finished and then we can go back to flirting shamelessly, okay?”

Momo laughs again—she can’t help it, if Kyouka laughs it’s contagious, and Kyouka doesn’t often laugh like that around everyone else.  It’s nice being with her like this, when she drops some of the sarcasm and the prickly exterior and is just unrestrained and herself. “Okay!  Okay.  It’s just like when we practiced, right?”

Kyouka nods, the laughter fading to a bright, happy smile. “Yeah,” she says.  “Think of it just like practice.  Ignore the gear, it’s just there for like, aesthetic or something.  You know when you come in on the first verse, right?”

“Right!”  Momo nods back, picking up the sheet with her melodic line written out in Momo’s quick, neat hand.  “It’s right at the end of the third bar, there’s the, ah… what’s it called? Pick-up note?  After you play the F chord?”

Kyouka beams.  “Yeah!  Okay, I’ll start.  Ready?”

“Ready,” Momo says, and focuses on the fluid motion of Kyouka’s hands as she starts to strum the guitar.  She taps her foot ever so slightly, swaying in time with the beat, as the opening chords drift across the room—that was the first bar, now she’s playing the second, and the third will come up soon.  

It’s fine, though.  They’ve played this song together before, and really, if Momo just focuses on the right things, like the look of bliss in Kyouka’s face as she plucks at the strings, all the stress of recording it melts away and leaves her with nothing but a perfectly enjoyable afternoon.
