#drawing has now become on my absolute favorite hobbies

[dioslesbianwife]

hiii! i'm nana!

i had an idea with the Stardust Crusaders that the reader is Joseph's daughter, but has the same personality as Joseph in part 2 (please make Joseph's part platonic🙏🙏🙏)

hii, thank you for requesting, hope you enjoy <3

You’re basically the team’s walking headache.

Joseph thought he was prepared to deal with someone like you… until you actually joined the crusade and immediately picked a fight with a random Stand user in Cairo just because they looked at you sideways.

“Why is she like this?” “Because you were like this, old man.”

Joseph Joestar (Dad)

Proud? yes. Terrified? Also yes.

It's like watching his own youth flash before his eyes, only this time he has to be the responsible adult.

Constantly muttering “I was never this annoying” while the others stare at him like are you serious right now?

You have the same bad habit of teasing your opponents mid-fight and loudly predicting their next move- he’s equal parts horrified and impressed when you’re right.

“THAT’S MY GIRL!” becomes his war cry when you land a particularly slick hit.

Always trying to get you to use Hermit Purple (or whatever your Stand is) responsibly, but you keep using it for dumb things like drawing dicks in the sand or analysing enemy outfits for “roast material.”

Jotaro Kujo

Your favorite hobby is getting on his nerves. and it works.

“Yare yare daze.” “Yare yare YOUR MOM, Jotaro.”

He says he can’t stand you, but he will absolutely throw the first punch if anyone else insults you.

While you don’t have a Stand as OP as Star Platinum, you do have the same chaotic creative thinking as Joseph in battle, and Jotaro respects that more than he’ll ever say out loud.

You once convinced a Stand user that you were a ghost haunting your own body just to distract them long enough to get in a sneak attack. Jotaro was unimpressed at first… but it worked.

Sometimes you get really quiet and thoughtful when he’s not looking. Jotaro’s not sure what’s worse: when you’re loud and scheming or when you’re quiet and definitely scheming.

Kakyoin

You two bond over strategy and mischief.

He plays the straight man to your antics, but he secretly loves watching you get under Jotaro’s skin.

Has a soft spot for you, even if he pretends to be above your nonsense.

“Kakyoin, be honest- on a scale of 1 to 10, how much would Hierophant Green enjoy helping me pull off a prank on Polnareff?” “…5. maybe 6. but only if it’s tasteful.”

He’s probably the only one who can get you to chill when you’re really fired up. his calm energy levels you out, though you always bounce back five minutes later.

Polnareff

Chaos twins. certified besties. terrible influence on each other.

If something explodes in the distance, it’s either your fault, Polnareff’s fault, or you both planned it together.

Constantly bickering but in a sibling way. “I swear I'm gonna shave that stupid little tuft off your head when you sleep.” “Not if I glue your tongue to a toilet first!”

You once dared him to fight a chicken because “You heard it was possessed.” He lost. You didn’t stop laughing for a week.

Sometimes he gets overwhelmed by how quickly you shift between funny and fiercely intelligent in a fight.

Avdol

“You remind me of your father. exactly like him. too much like him.”

He respects you deeply but absolutely does not trust you with matches, explosives, or anything labeled “flammable.”

You once tried to argue your way out of a fight and accidentally talked a Stand user into switching sides. Avdol just stood there blinking like “what the hell just happened?”

He's the first to back you up when you say something smart or insightful, especially when the others are too busy making fun of you.

Still calls you “miss Joestar” no matter how many times you yell “just call me cool queen Joestar supreme, Avdol!”

How to Suck Less at Summaries

Probably almost anyone who's ever posted a fic to ao3 or a platform with a similar interface has been hit by that moment of panic, breaking in on the euphoria of having finished and polished a fic--"what do I put for the summary?!"

So much so, that "I suck at summaries" in the summary box has become something of a cliche. It's very understandable! You've already put all that work into writing the fic itself, and now you have to write ANOTHER thing with its own set of conventions and expectations? No way!

And I want to start by saying that that's absolutely fine. Fic writing is your hobby, your creative endeavor; you're not obligated to do anything in it that you don't want to. You can leave the summary box completely blank--ao3 will let you--and there's no reason you shouldn't, if that's what you want to do! If you're happy with your summaries, please don't change them. There's no wrong way to do summaries. This is your invitation to ignore the entire rest of this post!

However. My impression is that an awful lot of people aren't happy with their summaries. They would like to have summaries that catch a reader's attention, that fit common patterns, or that give a good representation of the fic; they're just not sure how to accomplish that, or what readers might be expecting. And the good news is that writing various styles of summaries, like other kinds of writing, is a skill you can improve--and that there are some tips and tricks that can help you write the kinds of summaries you may want to write more quickly.

How do I know? Well, on top of having read I don't know how many fics, I've published 200 of my own, with all different kinds of summaries. (In fact, writing this post is my treat to myself to celebrate publishing 200 fics!) So I have a lot of trial and error experience to draw on. I'll be using my own summaries as examples (plus some hypothetical examples), because I don't want to be nitpicking anyone else's!

I'm going to throw in a cut now because this is gonna get long.

What do you want to accomplish with your summary?

That's the first question you might want to ask yourself. And the answer really is up to you! The name "summary" suggests it's supposed to be a sort of short version of your story. That's one option. But summaries are often used to accomplish various other things, too: some of my favorite summaries don't really tell you anything about the plot of the fic, but instead give you a glimpse of the writer's style or lure you in with a question. It can also fill organizational purposes like commemorating the reason the fic was written (although author notes can also be effective for things like this).

Most fundamentally, I tend to think of the summary box as a place to manage your readers' expectations. I want them to have some sense of what the fic they're about to read might be like, and I want to present that in a way that highlights why it might be appealing to them. Of course, what I write won't be appealing to every reader--and an effective summary, plus accurate tags and ratings of course, allows a reader who won't enjoy what I have to offer to quickly keep scrolling and find something that fits their tastes better. But the way I think of them, summaries are really mainly for readers who will enjoy my fic if they decide to open it. A summary for a fic is like a pretty package for a gift: the gift is great in itself, and the nice gift-wrap makes it more eye-catching and more fun to open!

Sidebar: This "managing expectations" thing is, I think, the reason why authors sometimes add notes in the summary like "I'm sorry if this sucks" or "this is my first fic, it's probably terrible." I completely understand where this comes from--you don't want to make your readers expect some kind of genius literature and then only have something to give them that you yourself are still insecure about! But I really do think they're generally counterproductive. On the one hand, that kind of negative self-talk will tend to undermine your own confidence and make you more insecure about your writing, not less; on the other hand, they can subconsciously prime your readers to notice weaknesses and issues that they might otherwise not even have paid attention to! That doesn't mean you have to pretend you think your writing is perfect; very few of us do think what we post on fic archives is perfect. There's nothing wrong, even, with a note like "this is my first fic" or "this one is a bit experimental, I'm not sure how I feel about it" or "this wasn't written in my first language" or even "this is an old fic and I don't think it represents my best work anymore", although I tend to put that kind of commentary on craft in the author's notes rather than the summary, but that's just me; there's no rule. As an example, when I recently published my first fic in the Hornblower fandom, which has a historical setting I wasn't previously very familiar with, I thanked my beta for helping me avoid "historical howlers" and added "any remaining are my own responsibility." That made me feel better about potential mistakes in research by showing that I was aware I might have made some. I put this in an author's note at the end of the story. But, for the sake of you as a writer as well as me as a reader, I'm asking you--please don't start out our reader/writer relationship by telling me it's terrible! Give yourself a chance to shine. Even if there's a lot you're insecure about in your fic, there's something you love--maybe it's the premise, the ship, even one particular line--that makes you want to share it with the world. Use the summary to highlight that. As your reader, that's what I want to know about!

Anyway, now that you've decided what you want your summary to accomplish, there are a couple of very easy ways to fill the summary box that you might want to consider--if they make sense for your fic.

Just quote the prompt

When I write prompt-fic, often very short, I frequently just quote the prompt itself as the summary. An example would be my 3 Sentence Ficathon fic archived on ao3. Since the challenge in this event is to write a complete fic in only three sentences, a summary wouldn't be much shorter than the fic itself! So I just do summaries like

For reeby10's prompt: "Doctor Who, Clara/Twelve, unforgettable."

(Gaps)

This can work outside of prompt memes, too. If you're doing a monthly challenge, for instance, something like

Flufftember day 21, 'breakfast in bed'

might tell your readers all they need to know to be interested in your story and know what to expect.

Set the context

For some fic, the most important thing you want your readers to know going in is something about the fic's context. For instance, with drabbles I sometimes use the summary as a place to sneak in information about setting/what's supposed to be happening that I didn't have room for in the drabble itself. For Susan's Twist, a 100-word drabble, I set the scene in the summary:

Susan is grooving to the latest chart-topper of 1963. But for some reason, the song makes her grandfather uncomfortable.

which meant I didn't have to use any of my 100 words explaining "Susan was listening to the radio, when..." Since Susan's Twist was inspired by someone else's Tumblr post, I could also just have referenced that post in the summary. But in this case, I chose to phrase the premise in my own words in the summary, and cite the Tumblr post in the author's notes (I also tagged the OP when I shared the fic on Tumblr).

Flower Children is an example of a drabble with a not particularly effective summary where I could have used this strategy quite effectively. The summary is just

Neither of them wants to fight.

which is all right, but which doesn't do much to set up the (admittedly cracky) Eighth Doctor/Dalek Oswin pairing that motivates the fic. But then, I've always felt like I didn't have quite as much of an idea as I'd like about what the context for this fic is supposed to be. Maybe I'll write more about them sometime.

Setting the context can also be useful for summaries of AUs. Very often, what draws people into AUs is the AU concept itself.

For instance, the premise of my story te quaerens, Ariadna is that the events of the audio Zagreus go differently and the Doctor remains possessed by/transformed into Zagreus. So that's what I said in the summary:

The Doctor is still Zagreus, but he and Charley find ways to keep going.

In this case, the summary is accomplishing more than one thing; it explains the concept, but it also indicates a bit of the story's tone--it's fairly optimistic given its premise, and it's more about how their relationship evolves than any particular plotty event.

With setting change AUs--especially in familiar AU settings, like a coffeeshop, high school, or fantasy monarchy--often what readers will most want to know is what roles the characters are filling; in other words, how the translation from canon to AU has been made. For instance, my story Warmth is already tagged as a coffeeshop AU with the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan, and Adric, so the summary indicates that it's told from the perspective of Tegan as a new employee:

Unexpectedly stranded in London and looking for work, Tegan finds a place where she just might fit in.

If she had been a longtime employee or a customer, that would have changed the story's dynamics, and I would have wanted the summary to reflect that instead. I could have also added that the Doctor is the shop's manager and Nyssa and Adric are the existing employees, but I decided to let the story itself reveal that in this case.

With someone's planted a bath bomb in the matrix, which is a retail AU inspired by an incorrect quotes tumblr post, I just stuck the whole tumblr post in the summary box:

Romana: When you work at lush and a customer comes in and bites the soap because they think it’s cheese… this happens way more frequently than you think. Leela: If you stopped literally presenting soap as deli food this wouldn't happen. Narvin: Who goes into a bath store and thinks something covered in glitter is cheese? Brax: Who goes to the store and just takes a bite from the cheese? ~incorrectgallifreyquotes.tumblr.com

I might do that a bit differently now--maybe more the way I handled Susan's Twist--maybe something like this in the summary:

An uptight employee and a too-suave customer are making Romana's job managing a bath store way too stressful. Thank goodness--probably--that her best friend works for mall security.

And then I'd have put the tumblr post that inspired it in author's notes.

Thing is, though, that reflects my taste and what I think is effective now, but it doesn't mean I did it wrong the first time. People read and enjoyed the story, and it was fine!

Also I just showed this post to Moki and she said she thinks the first one's more intriguing. So that just goes to show, it's really a matter of taste.

This strategy is also useful for missing scenes and things like that. Something as simple as

While waiting for Z to return from the rendezvous, X and Y have a conversation.

can draw in readers very effectively, especially if X and Y's conversation was kind of obviously a gap in the story that they might already be curious about.

Use a quote

A surprisingly effective and straightforward way to create a summary is just to use a quote from the fic. I've seen tons of great summaries like this that hook me in immediately. I struggle with using it myself, because I want the line I quote to be powerful/impactful/intriguing and give some sense of what the plot is like and make sense out of context, and I don't often seem to be able to find lines like that in my own work. But I did for The Moon by Night:

It could not have been more than a day that we clung to the hull of that station full of troopers.

Since this is a space AU for a historical fiction novel, this line gives some sense of how the events of the story have been translated into space, and also shows the voice I'm writing in (I tried to follow the style of the original, which is first-person, which is unusual for me). If you can find a line like that in your work, it can be a great summary. You can even just put the first couple of lines of the fic, especially if you've already worked to make them an effective hook!

You can also use a quote from another source. Was there a line or moment from canon that inspired the fic? A poem or song that fits its mood? You can use the summary as a sort of epigraph. (I often use author's notes for this as well.) If your readers vibe with the quote that inspired the story, they're likely to vibe with the story as well.

I did something like this with Absent thee from felicity awhile. The title is a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, and all I put in the summary box was another quote from a couple of lines later:

…to tell my story.

This is so short and contextless, though, that I'm not sure how effective it was. It maybe only works if you recognize the specific Hamlet scene that it's taken from and have thought about that scene in the context of a specific episode of Hornblower. (I promise that, if you do, it's heartbreakingly ironic!) This could have been a good opportunity for me to do a double summary (see below), especially since the story is epistolary and I could've established its context. Although I did kind of like revealing who was reading the letter and when slowly over the course of the story.

Okay, but I do want to explain the plot

Right, so we've established that effective summaries don't have to be in that "back of the book blurb" format. But sometimes you want them to be. Sometimes the thing you're most excited about is the story's plot or events, and you want to communicate that to the reader. But you already wrote the story in order to communicate the plot to the reader; how do you condense it into a sentence or two? Here are some tips that may help.

Are you using familiar tropes? If so, just mentioning them will likely tell your reader not only what the plot is, but that (if they like that trope) they're likely to enjoy it. For instance:

A and B are trapped in a snow cave/ice planet/walk-in freezer and must huddle for warmth.

That particular one will also explain a bit about the setting, if you want.

Relationship status/development is also something that many readers want to know, whether it's a romantic or a gen relationship (e.g. characters becoming friends or realizing they see each other as family). For instance, if A and B admit their romantic feelings for the first time in that huddling for warmth story, you might add:

They get a lot closer than either of them expects...

I rather like ellipses at the end of a summary; I think they imply, sort of, "read the fic to find out the rest." I sometimes use them to soften a summary that feels a bit abrupt. I feel like this might be just me, though? So if you don't like ellipses, nothing wrong with ending that same summary with a period.

If you have a fic where the entire content is some emotional development between characters, the entire summary can easily be that too!

I don't really write smut so I don't have good advice for summarizing it, but I get the feeling this might be a relevant strategy for it?

What changes in the story? This could be a change in characters' attitudes towards each other, in the information they have, in their physical situation, or anything else. A story doesn't have to be about one single major change, but there's almost always at least one. (Or a change fails to happen, but in an interesting way: "five times Lois Lane didn't realize Clark was Superman" would be a perfectly intriguing summary!)

What demands are made of the characters? Many stories involve a character overcoming some kind of challenge or meeting some kind of test. A summary can indicate what that challenge is--and you don't have to indicate whether or how the characters meet it! This can contribute to a feeling of suspense, so that the reader feels they need to read the story to find out how the characters react. For instance, I summarized my story Journey as:

The Doctor and Ace need to stop a dimensional leakage to put a life-sucking entity back where it belongs. But to do so, they'll each need to protect the other in their own way.

What are their own ways? Do they succeed? The reader can probably guess that they do--but how? Their attention is caught, and they'll have to read to find out!

Some notes on format and style

Summary style is as personal as the rest of your writing style, so this is only intended as a mention of a couple of trends I've noticed.

Sometimes summaries are 'in-universe'--i.e. they describe the characters and what they do, without reference to the existence of the fic itself as a textual entity--and sometimes, like the "five times" example I gave above, they refer to the fic's format, characteristics, relationship to canon, etc. in direct terms. (For instance, the example I gave for a missing scene was 'in-universe,' but I could just as well have said "While waiting for Z to return during Episode 3..."). Either of these approaches are fine, although I personally tend to incline more towards the in-universe style unless I have a particular reason to use the other, such as in Differences of Opinion, which took a lot of metatextual explaining:

When I read enough easily-crossed-over stories, such as for instance the Age of Sail books that I have been reading lately and also spaceship stories inspired thereby, what inevitably happens is I end up with a nebulous meta crossover setting where they can all hang out outside of their respective canons. Here's one conversation from that setting.

I keep wondering if something more terse might have been more effective, and I could have put all that in the author's notes. But I really think that for anyone who would enjoy this fic, the metatextual complication is a big part of the appeal. So I put it in the summary.

It's pretty standard to write in-universe-style summaries in the present tense, even if the fic is in the past tense. "The characters do this and that," not "the characters did this and that." You don't have to, but it's what your reader is most likely to be expecting.

It seems to be quite common to have a double summary: one that maybe reflects the style and tone of the fic, and another, more matter-of-fact one that explains the plot. They're frequently joined by "or." I don't typically use it--maybe because I rarely have the problem of having too much summary--but if you do, this could be a great solution.

Spellcheck and proofread your summary extra. Whatever strategies you normally use to make sure the words in your story are the words you actually meant to write, it's a good idea to turn those strategies on the summary with special intensity. After all, this is your first impression on your reader, so you probably want to look as polished as possible!

These are just a few things I've noticed that I tend to think about when staring at that blinking cursor in the summary box. I hope they may help you, too, to feel like you have something to say in that moment!

🥐 for “princess” and “so how did you meet?” ^^

heck yeah! thank you for the ask love, i had so much fun with this!

prompt: 🥐 create a moodboard of yourself in your dr before and after you experience it

princess dr!!: hobby, favorite color, pet: Nanette (Nana), favorite spot, me, favorite food, pet: Colette (Ettie), home, favorite person

first board in my childhood, the second in early adulthood

as little, i absolutely love dancing and my ballet lessons; my favorite color is pink; my favorite spot is under the big tree in the garden (or in it) - i love to read there, nap there, or play banquet with my sister there; i have a major sweet tooth, i mean, as long as it has sugar in it, i will eat it; my favorite person is my older sister

in my early adulthood, i can spend hours playing the piano (or the harp, but i only had space for one); my favorite color has become a peachy orange, and i could now live in it, it is my signature color; i hang out in the flower greenhouse a lot, drawing the flowers or reading, or meditating on life; my sweet tooth hasn't gone away, but my flavor pallette is more refined, and i have now learned there is such a thing as "too sweet" - i enjoy the tanginess of berry jam on a sweet scone as my breakfast of choice; and while i still absolutely adore my sister, my favorite person is my secret lover, my valiant knight, Alarick

(also my pets are named to rhyme because it's cute, okay? okay)

so how did you meet? dr: hobby, favorite color, name, my room, mental state/energy, fashion, pet, home, miscellaneous picture that captures my general feelings

first board before the k!dnapp!ng, second board after

before, i am struggling with my mental health a lot, and most my time is spent doom scrolling and bed rotting; my favorite color is dark blue, because it feels calming; my name is catherine, and i really don't like it or identify with it; my room is small, and hardly personalized because of my mother who basically designed it to her liking, and due to my mental health struggles, it is always very messy; i have very low energy, don't sleep well, have a poor diet (struggling with ED and trying to recover by myself), and overall, i feel like shit all the time; i dress very basic, partly because of my mother's pressures and partly because i don't have the energy to care; i want a pet, any pet, so badly, but can't have one, so i have a tamagochi; i live on a commie block in a small town; i always feel alienated, out of place, and lonely

(this is all based on my past mental health issues and family problems in this cr)

while capt!ve, i become an avid reader, like i was as a kid, because i am not allowed a phone for the first year; my favorite color slowly becomes pink, because it makes me feel happy and innocent; he makes me choose a new name, to make it harder for me to be found, and i choose Cecilia, but he calls me Cilly as a pet name; he has me living in the attic, in a large, cute bedroom with an on-suite bathroom, and helps me to help it clean at first, though later, as my mental health improves, i can do it myself; i grow happy, calm, playful and whimsical under his care, healing and getting better by the day; i start dressing very cutesy and in bright colors, half because that is the clothes he gets for me, and half because that actually makes me feel confident and pretty; he gets me a puppy when he finds out i always wanted one, i name her Maisie; he has me in a very nice house pretty far away from civilization; while with my k!dnapper, my mental health is improving significantly, thanks to the gentle, respectful treatment and the lack of pressure, as well as me reading a lot of self-therapy books and learning to care for my mental health better, i'm in general much happier

My grandma got me this one comforter that’s immaculate, very comfortable, very soft. Love my grandma 🤙❤️

Song/Album - Void in Blue: WHERE DO I BEGIN WITH THIS SONG? The feeling I get actually has me ascending bro. The background instrumental the LYRICS THE ECHO, OMG THE ECHO THOUGH- my favorite part of any song is if it has an echoey effect to it, and THIS nails every part in the song. It’s great, please guys give it a listen it’s so good it’s like crack to me I listen to it on the DAILY

Food - Root beer Floats: I know technically it’s a drink but you could still eat it with a spoon, so I’d say it counts 👍 Anyways this shit is the bomb, love Rootbeer in general by FLOATS?? Amazing, I could eat them everyday if I could because they’re so good. Very refreshing. One time I actually went to Denny’s and asked if they had one and a nice waitress made me one lol, very sweet hole she’s going good 🙏 Also fun fact: I tried it in middle school and it became my LIFE

Pretty sure that’s all? Yeah that’s all. Thanks for reading if you wanted to, now you know a bit about me heh. Hope everyone’s having a good day 🤙🤙

for the ask game, 1, 8, 11, 21, 25, 36, 43 and 44. 8D

putting under the cut since theres a lot of them awawawawawa

1: my lamb wasnt given a name as a child because at the point things were at the time, it was considered much safer to make it as hard as possible to identify individuals

it became super inconvenient later in their predeath life and started being super self sabotaging so they briefly went by various nicknames by those closest to them

then after becoming the vessel of the red crown and now as the current god of death theyre trying to find a good name but theyre super indecisive

8: the lamb had no choice but to be extremely good at stealth and combat (though they were only really good at using knives at the time)

but on the more whimsical side they spent a lot of time getting good at gambling and textile work during their quieter moments in hiding (they fucked around with other hobbies when they got the chance but never really became super good at them before death)

11: the most notable features of my lamb would probably be their big eyelashes and the weird way i draw their ears (left ear always having a cut in it and right usually adorned with two earrings)

21: i dont have a super big opinion on their birth sex (and as a god they can just change to be whatever they want to be at any moment anyways) (my lamb is genderfluid but i tend to use they them on them because i tend to use they them on me)

25: for my lamb the canon fleece is specifically meant for crusades and sermons (wearing something covered in the blood of heretics with the intent of making these sermons more holy)

since they dont like wearing stuff caked in blood all the time they usually wear other outfits (including a fleece i created as some variation of the default fleece and the cutesy heart one since those are my favorites)

in fact one of the lambs favorite things about their new life is that they can actually experiment way more with clothing without being put at risk

36: no

my lamb is an amazingly awful cook

its to the point where when heket first tried it, she got so upset she wrote a long letter to them about all they ways they messed up (i do plan to draw this one later on this has been in my list of art ideas for a while)

43: usually when dissenters happen they immediately lock them up in prison to start reeducation because they dont want to risk said dissent spreading

but very early on (before there were any prisons) jularna dissented because they were upset that the lamb bowed to heket

so right before jularna tried to leave the lamb killed them (but since the lamb is attached to them due to first follower bias they revived them as soon as they learned how to do so) (it was super awkward and uncomfortable between them for a while)

44: back before their first death they exclusively used knives

but afterwards they grew to love blunderbusses swords and hammers (partially due to not needing to be as close as they wouldve needed to be with said knives)

they absolutely despise having to work with axes (somewhat due to their unwieldiness but mostly due to it being used to decapitate them)

ask game

[sapphicrot]

Excuse me?? Go on?? I wanna know about those headcanons

Also i appreciate bringing my by now old art back to light ^^

OHHH U WANT HEADCANONS?? [cracks knuckles]

(also ofc dude! u shld thank @/creaturevoiddweller for putting it on my dash tho hehe)

ANYWAYS THE HCS UR DRAWING SPECIFICALLY LINED UP WITH ARE:

Moon being taller/generally bigger than Sig…normally i’m not feral over height differences but god theirs drives me insane

Moon loving the stars. I feel like after her collapse, they were one of the few things that brought her comfort. Within canon I’m pretty sure you can see the stars even during the day (they’re green too!! super cool) so she loves to study them and their movements. The rare occasions when the rain comes after night falls are her favorites, being able to see them more clearly in the dark always excites her. Going on a lil stargazing date would probably melt her heart !!

Sig being fucking whipped for Moon 😭 this is a fucking given but him being distracted and at Moon instead of the sky because she considers her prettier than even the starts makes me. AUGH.

(More general hcs below the cut so this post doesn’t become a million miles long)

Sig learns to knit and makes Moon a scarf and a couple cloaks after her collapse. He actually has a lot of hobbies because he doesn’t think the great problem is solvable, nor does he really care to solve it anyways. He even says he’s got “nothing better to do with my time” when Suns asks him if he’s going to purpose another messenger. Meanwhile Suns says “you have two options, do nothing or work like you’re supposed to” in terms of what to do with your time.

Moon loves picking Sig up/holding her/generally grabbing her n throwing her around because she’s actually quite strong and Sig is smaller than her. Sig does not mind in the slightest.

They’re both interested in bioengineering. Sig more so, but Moon mentons Rivulet’s interesting adaptations and knows a lot about the flora and fauna of the world. I think they bonded over this quite a bit.

Speaking of, Sig was also a more medical-oriented facility. Pebbles mentions that he “was not a medical facility even when the equipment was functioning” to hunter, so the iterators may have had more specialized niches as the generations went on. Therefore, she becomes the sort of defacto “puppet-doctor” of the local group, helping to fix things like broken joints or umbilicals after the ancients disappear. Also just the slag reset keys in general. I have a drawing about this I’m finishing soon so watch out for that hehe

Moon’s kindness absolutely rubbed off on Sig. When he first got put online, she interacted with him a lot as his personality core was still developing, and he picked up on some of her traits. In terms of age I see their group as Moon and Suns (gen 1), Sig and Chasing Wind (mid gen) and Unparalleled Innocence and Pebbles (final gen).

SIG TEACHING MOON STUPID GAMER LINGO AND UWU SPEAK CAUSES A DISASTER IN THE LOCAL GROUP CHATS. The first time she says “poggers” sends everyone into an uproar and Sig gets multiple DMs being like “WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS.”. Sig thinks it’s the funniest shit in the world.

Moon is a lesbian, Sig is a bisexual gender-fluid disaster. I’m sure you can tell from my rambles I use he/she/they/it pronouns for her.

Moon’s nickname for Sig is “doll”. “Little thing” is also a common one, since Sig jokes that his gender is just “thingy”.

I can’t think of any more but thank you so much for the ask!! I love these two so fucking much and getting to ramble about them makes me so happy, especially because I’m absolutely suffering on my period rn and it distracted me from the pain. I love ur art sm!!!!

[synthwayve]

what are your favourite headcanons for micolash? or maybe damian and/or edgar?

Oops, the doodles ended up under the cut lol. Still not sure how formatting works. Thank you so so much for the ask!! Sorry I talk so much as well, from now on I’ll keep asks concise unless asked otherwise!

For Micolash, some of my favorite casual headcanons are;

-He has heterochromia, I like drawing him with this attribute because it compromises on the “are his eyes blue or brown” dilemma

-he ran track at Byrgenwerth/runs as a hobby, I just find the idea hilarious

-He knows Edgar is a spy and has known pretty much instantaneously, and is always using this knowledge to pester/mess with him. Despite this, he is careful not to “out” Edgar’s position to the other scholars so they don’t get hostile towards him.

-I love the idea that he’s actually stronger than he physically looks but ONLY in regards to punching. He’ll get tired from holding a stack of books but will clock a Hunter in the face so hard it leaves a dent in the wall. Very nonsensical, but the thought is super entertaining to me

-while he regularly looks like he’s in his 50’s, he’s actually quite a bit younger than that. This HC is entirely for comedic purposes because I love the idea of him being offended that everybody thinks he’s nearing his deathbed when his face is just like that.

-he’s a dog? Bird? Dog bird? Bird dog? Person.

Some of my favorite serious headcanons are(brace yourself);

-He and Laurence were childhood friends, for some reason I’m really attached to this hc even though I know it lacks substance. I just like the idea that they contrast each other from a young age, with Micolash being a very frail/sickly child who’s often bedridden and is thus visited frequently by an optimistic and curious Laurence, basically the only source of entertainment/companionship for him besides his family and books. Then as they get older, they become academic rivals before just straight up drifting away and disliking each other. I imagine Micolash joined the Choir initially(for like, a day or such) just to witness Laurence’s recklessness turn him into a monster, giving him mixed feelings(mostly terror) since their Byrgenwerth days. I imagine Laurence to think of Micolash as having grown to be a pessimistic heretic, while Micolash sees Laurence to be too starry eyed for his own good and stupidly impulsive. Good ol’ “friends->rivals->good Kos what have you become” pipeline.

-This is more so fan theory territory and I imagine widely unpopular of a belief, but I like to think Micolash did NOT choose to incite the ritual himself. Either the responsibility was pushed on him by the other scholars(consequence for being a leader and all that) or a defector(probably not Antal but it’s fun to imagine lol) shackled him in at the last minute so the School of Mensis could not continue their practices if the ritual failed. This is based PURELY off Micolash being shackled to the chair he’s on, and honestly a more reasonable explanation for that is just that he probably shackled himself in so if he writhed/flinched it wouldn’t disrupt the ritual but what can I say, I like a little moral ambiguity in my unforgivably heinous villains.

-I find it more terrifying to imagine Micolash was actually fully unprepared to meet Mergo and just couldn’t show it, only losing his sanity and going mad after the weight of losing everybody(The other scholars, Rom, and Laurence if we also add the prev. HC) AND meeting a great one really settled in.

For Edgar, my casual headcanons are:

-He was basically brought up in the Church since his teens. Can’t explain this one, just seems appropriate.

-He is a neat freak of sorts and requires everything to be organized, which drives him absolutely up the wall when he’s around Micolash who is a walking tornado of harmonic chaos

-He really hates having to be the most normal person in both the Choir and The School of Mensis. It’s hard work.

My serious headcanons are;

-he knows that Micolash knows who he is, and is constantly afraid this information will be used against him(in a more serious manner than just light teasing). By the time he thinks about abandoning his mission and returning the Choir, he’s in too deep with the School of Mensis and has compromised his values already to bring himself to leave of his own accord.

-By the time the Hunter meets him, he’s already gone a bit loony himself. Who knows how long they’ve been stuck in that nightmare?

-He is close friends with Yurie and she is the strongest tether he has back to returning to the Choir. It’s just not enough for him to actually leave.

For Damian, I only really have casual headcanons because I don’t own the game and thus haven’t had the chance to thoroughly explore every Mensis character on my own(and also I feel like my serious headcanons are a littleeee too atrocious to be shared, haha. Need to smooth them out first);

-He’s Micolash’s voice of reason(Edgar is the irritated sigh/scream of reason) but can only do so much when the Provost is so…eccentric.

-He is always trying to get Micolash to eat/sleep/drink properly and it never works, but that doesn’t deter him.

-He won’t admit it but he’s also very fond of the bird-dogs, even though they get fur and feathers absolutely EVERYWHERE.

-For some reason, and I can’t explain it if I tried, I can so clearly see him being an astrology/literature student. Just the general energy he gives off I guess?

-He’s honestly more concerned with Edgar’s status as a choir intelligencer than Micolash is, and feels the constant need to keep an eye on him as if he were an assassin and not a spy.

-He’s a lot more melancholic than Edgar when frustrated, and is the least likely to lose his temper out of the 3 (at least in Synth’s headcanon land, anyway)

Thank you again so much for the ask!

Fifteen Questions for Fifteen Mutuals

Okay - I think a ton of people have tagged me in this one - so I shall finally answer. I do apologize for the delay, but in my defense, the end of the summer has been hectic! Thank you all for the tags: @sonneteer-fool, @theghostinthemargins, @theworldisquietheretooquiet, @slightnettles, @elfscribe, @runawaymun, @metatomatoes, @thesolarangel.

Are you named after anyone? Yes, I'm named after a movie character. My parents liked neither the actress, nor the character she played, but they did want to be like her parents in the movie so ... I'm not fond of this name, tbh.

Do you have kids? No.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? Only when it's completely obvious that I'm joking. Around the house, my partner will ask me to do something and I'm like "Absolutely not" as I have already started the task.

When was the last time you cried? Uh... a couple days ago. Battling perfectionism and trying to change the ways I think about my worth as a person turns out to be difficult, actually.

What’s the first thing you notice about other people? Honestly? Probably clothes. I like fashion. I'm not fashionable or even stylish, but I think clothes are neat.

Eye colour? I have central heterochromia. My eyes have a brown center circle and a green outer circle, but are overall pretty dark. You have to be somewhat physically close to me to notice the color.

What sports do you/have played? Have I played ever? Uh, basketball, tee-ball, soccer, and ran track (was very good at the running long jump). But I stopped playing sports during high school. I wasn't good enough at anything to make the team, except for the aforementioned track event.

Any special talent? Uh? I guess I learn quickly? That counts as a special talent right?

Where were you born? USA

Scary movies or happy endings? I love scary movies and although happy endings are fine, I tend to prefer bittersweet ones. Those endings make me think for longer.

Do you have any pets? Two shelter dogs: Barkimedes and Rear Admiral Grace Pawper (she's named after Grace Hopper, the computer scientist)

How tall are you? 5' 7", which Google says is 170cm

What are your hobbies? Writing fanfic, reading (novels or fanfic, but mostly novels atm), crocheting, sewing (cosplay or general use clothes), embroidery/cross stitching, baking (though this one has kinda taken a backseat for a while), drawing/trying to learn digital art.

Favorite subject in school? Latin. Took four years of it, and have had an enduring love for learning languages ever since (though I'm not fluent in any but English, lmao)

Dream job? Honestly, I'm not sure I have one? Anything that becomes "work" is ultimately bound to suffer in the joy department. So, I guess, I dream of a job that only makes me work 20 hours a week, pays me what my 45 hour a week job pays now, and leaves me with enough energy to pursue doing things I love and spending time with family.

I'm not going to tag anybody directly - since this one went around some time ago. But if you see it and it looks like fun to you, consider this your tag!

[hypnified]

Hi there! I’m here for the clone oc ship!! Ahhh my first one of these🥴

My name is Stitch, and I’m 5’5” with brown hair and blue eyes. I love to draw, write, listen to music, play music (I play the cello), and cruise for hours in my car. I’m what the kids call an “emo” but I prefer punk/emo combo!

Dad jokes are my favorite jokes, and I always am trying to get people to laugh. I’m shy even with that though. Kindness is greatness, and I live by that.

Hope you’re having a great day/night!!!🥰

Ooh, bet here we go!

Including a lil menace, Erix! But I'll include a few others just in case he isn't for you!

You are gonna make Erix laugh so fast and he's gonna do everything in his power to do the same. You're about to draw? He's encouraging you, you're so cool like you're amazing! You play music? Erix is in awe he could listen for hours! He admires you oh so much, he doesn't think there's anyone cooler out there's. If anything he's probably your biggest fan.

If you're having a really bad day this chaotic menace is gonna do everything in his power to make your day better, even a little! If Erix has to make a fool of himself to do so he absolutely will without a doubt. He's an absolute sweetheart, who's kinda just a sarcastic dork!

-

Now Glowstick there's not much to say about him, but I don't know.

I've already talked about his glowstick collection, whenever you see him you're definitely gonna end up with more of them. If you ever tell him a dad joke I can guarantee you're gonna have him laughing and crying. He's a sweetheart, a menace kind of unhinged. Your hobbies will slowly become his hobbies, he's gonna do so much research and he's gonna tell you everything that he's learnt. Glowstick is just so happy, plus he gets to spend time with you and that's everything to him. Quality time is everything to him.

He would absolutely make you a playlist dedicated to you, it's gonna have all your favourite songs, and also songs that remind him of you. Just like Bear, he'd have a tattoo dedicated to you. Whenever he gets the chance he's going to remind you that you're important to him!

[justagalwhowrites]

No pressure if you don’t want to share, but I’m so curious what you do for a living and/or what your educational background is. I’m so impressed with your storytelling skills that I feel like it cannot be accidental. I have a fair amount of experience as a reader/writer (though not professional) and have a college level writing/English degree and again I’m just so impressed. I wish I had the patience like some to bullet out specifics within a chapter but it’s like moment to moment you just don’t miss.

The exchange with Tommy and Joel in this chapter was superb. The way you write sometimes there isn’t much explanation needed, you do a beautiful job of showing vs telling. You let details unfold in such a subtle but very intentional way. I never feel like, “Oh, here’s the exposition”.

Beskar Doll and Lavender have been two of my absolute favorites and truthfully the initial plot around Yearling didn’t interest me but I trusted you based on the others. It’s becoming my favorite of the three. Like I don’t even care if it gets smutty (and… I usually want that), the story and character development are enough.

Anyway none of this to say skip the smut 😂 But please you how talented you are, especially considering your writing speed. You’re cranking shit out fast and nothing ever feels rushed or unintentional❤️

OMG Hi Bestie!

I totally don't mind sharing! I work in communications now (I write a lot of emails and blog posts, the occasional journal article, etc.) but I was a journalist for a decade before I sold my soul to the PR gods. I have a degree in journalism so my background is definitely all writing! And I have always done creative writing for fun. My mom went through boxes of my elementary school stuff like a year or two ago and found a little novella I wrote when I was like seven lol. I started writing my first novel (it's very bad though I did finish it) when I was 11 and writing novels has been my primary hobby ever since, really. When I got into fan fic earlier this year, I just kind of picked up what I do in novel planning and whatnot and plopped it into the fic space. It means so much that you think it's high quality work! I'm so glad you've enjoyed it!

And OMG this is so exciting about Yearling lol. Yearling has made me so nervous from the start? It was a story I really wanted to tell - trauma, recovery, finding home and family, forgiveness, growth - but it was the first fic I started writing that I thought people might be reading from the beginning and I didn't want to disappoint anyone. Every other fic I started writing thinking no one would read it so the stakes were INCREDIBLY low lol it was just for me! It's a little different now because so many kind, wonderful people have read these stories. Yearling is obviously a slow burn, which I know isn't what people always go for, and there's a LOT of plot - again, not always what draws people into fic! - so I'm thrilled that people have connected with it. I'm extra happy that you're a convert to it!! That made my day, for real!

Don't worry, smut is coming soon in Yearling lol! Smut is never the point in my fics, more just sprinkled in for spice (not that there's anything wrong with PWP!! I love that! I'm just AWFUL at writing it) but I love having it. I may not be as explicit when I write books but I find stories for and about adults unrealistic if it doesn't include sex or romance as some kind of driver (unless the characters are aro/ace) so it's a safe bet you'll find smut in my work! Also love that you think I'm writing fast lol I feel like I'm going so slow compared to Lavender but I really needed to have better balance between life and fic writing this time. While it's not written yet, I do have the whole fic story mapped so there's a plan for every major plot point. It's definitely intentional! I hope it keeps coming off that way and that you keep enjoying it!

Thank you so so so much for reaching out and for spending your time reading these fics. I loved reading your thoughts!! Love you!!

My Flavorful Journey with Lost Mary Vape: A Vaper’s Delight

Hey there, fellow vape enthusiasts!

If you're anything like me, you're always on the lookout for that next-level vape experience. The one that feels just right — not too harsh, not too weak, and bursting with flavor. That’s how I stumbled upon Lost Mary Vape, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer.

Whether you’re new to the scene or just looking to explore a new line, let me walk you through my experience with Lost Mary, the range of Lost Mary flavors I’ve tried (and loved!), and why I think it’s one of the best things happening in the vape world right now.

How I Discovered Lost Mary Vape

So, it all started when my regular vape brand just wasn’t cutting it anymore. The flavors felt flat, and the devices weren’t lasting like they used to. I started browsing forums, TikTok, and Reddit threads (you know the rabbit hole), and I kept seeing people raving about Lost Mary vape. Naturally, I had to try it for myself.

At first glance, the packaging was sleek, the design was fresh, and the specs were promising. I picked up a few to test out — and wow. Let’s just say my vape routine got an instant upgrade.

What Makes Lost Mary Stand Out?

Let me break it down for you. Here’s why I genuinely fell in love with Lost Mary:

1. Sleek, Pocket-Friendly Designs

The devices are compact and stylish — perfect for on-the-go sessions.

Comfortable to hold and super discreet (yes, even for those stealthy puffs).

2. Smooth Hits with No Harsh Burn

I’m all about a smooth, flavorful draw — and Lost Mary vape delivers just that.

No throat irritation, no dry hits. Just pure satisfaction.

3. Incredible Battery Life

I don’t have to worry about recharging mid-day, which is a win.

Even the rechargeable versions last for thousands of puffs.

4. Flavor Explosion!

Let’s be real — we vape for the flavor.

And this brand? Totally nailed it.

My Favorite Lost Mary Flavors So Far

Okay, now let’s get into the good stuff. The flavors. Honestly, choosing a favorite was tough — there are so many delicious options, and each one has its own vibe. But here are a few that really stood out to me:

🍓 Strawberry Pina Colada

This one instantly transported me to a beach vacation. Sweet strawberries, creamy coconut, and that little tang from pineapple? Absolute magic. It’s my go-to for chill evenings or lazy weekends.

🥭 Blueberry Mango

I didn’t think mango and blueberry would be such a great combo, but I was wrong — so wrong. It’s fruity, slightly tart, and super refreshing. I keep one in my bag at all times.

🍇 Grape Jelly

Yes, it tastes exactly like grape jelly. It’s sweet without being cloying, and the flavor lingers nicely. If you’re into dessert vapes or candy vibes, this one’s a must-try.

🧊 Cool Mint

Sometimes, I just want a clean, icy hit. And Cool Mint does it perfectly. It’s like chewing a minty gum — crisp, refreshing, and leaves your breath feeling fresh too. Bonus!

Why I Keep Going Back to Lost Mary

There are hundreds of vape brands out there. So why do I keep coming back to Lost Mary vape?

💯 Consistency

Every puff tastes just as good as the first. There’s no weird chemical aftertaste or flavor drop-off halfway through.

🔋 Long-Lasting Performance

I’ve used other vapes that claim to offer 5000+ puffs but start tasting burnt halfway through. Not with Lost Mary. The performance is solid till the end.

🎨 So Many Flavors to Explore

There’s literally a Lost Mary flavor for every mood:

Feeling tropical? Try Pineapple Coconut Ice.

Craving sweets? Triple Berry has your back.

Want something unique? Black Mint is surprisingly amazing.

And the best part? They’re always coming out with new ones. I swear, discovering new Lost Mary flavors has become a hobby for me.

Some Pro Tips If You’re New to Lost Mary

If you're thinking about trying it out for the first time, here are a few things I learned along the way:

✅ Start with a Variety Pack (If Available)

It’s a great way to try multiple flavors without committing to just one. Plus, it’s kinda fun to guess which one you’ll love the most.

✅ Store It Right

Keep your device away from direct sunlight and extreme cold. I noticed the flavor stays richer when I don’t leave it in a hot car.

✅ Charge Smart

For the rechargeable ones, use the recommended charger. A quick 30-minute boost and I’m good to go again.

Final Thoughts: Is Lost Mary Vape Worth It?

Absolutely, without a doubt — YES.

Lost Mary isn’t just hype. It’s high-quality, flavorful, and actually delivers on its promises. Whether you’re a longtime vaper or just getting into the game, I think you’ll be blown away by the flavor quality and performance.

I’ve introduced several of my friends to Lost Mary vape, and every single one of them has made the switch. It’s just that good. And with the wide range of Lost Mary flavors, there’s always something new to explore.

Ready to Try It?

If you’re tired of weak hits, bland flavors, or just want something new and exciting — give Lost Mary a shot. Trust me, it might just be your new obsession (like it became mine).

Have a favorite Lost Mary flavor I haven’t mentioned? Drop it in the comments or DM me — I’m always looking for new ones to try!

And finally, if you even want to have children, would you choose adoption or surrogacy or would you go on childless? I'd be relieved since we're one and done. It would mean I don't need to get my tubes tied in a few years.

Howdy, I'd like a matchup for the arcana if you're doing those :)

I’m Callie, a pansexual 5’5 Cis female with dirty blonde hair, freckles, and blue green eyes. I’m an INFP-T, gemini, and Hufflepuff. I have Aspberger’s syndrome and adhd which causes me to be somewhat socially awkward even though I like attention and act confident. I’m easily distracted and tend to start projects I easily lose motivation for. I also hyperfixate on a different topic every week (especially entomology, mythology, and zoology) and all I want to do is analyze everything about said topic, this past week was moths. I absolutely adore animals and bugs (especially the creepy crawlies) and I have a tendency to hoard pets, everything from dogs and cats to snakes and tarantulas. Also might be getting a wildlife rehabbing permit soon, fingers crossed. I practice suomenusko which combines Finnish tradition and culture with pagan beliefs. My patron god is Loki and I’m hoping to start working with Hecate soon. My hobbies include writing, drawing, crocheting, and electric guitar. When I become overstimulated, I stim, and I have two types of stimming: happy stimming which includes flapping my hands and running around and angry stimming which includes biting my hands and pulling my hair out. I’m a bit chaotic and impulsive and I love making people laugh. I have a very odd sense of humor which is utterly destroyed by modern day memes (I couldn’t stop laughing over a bass boosted picture of a toothbrush once). I also procrastinate. Like a lot. And occasionally I have depressive episodes where I lose motivation to do literally anything. My clothing style consists of a mixture between traditional Celtic and cottagecore; I like dresses and braids. I am not afraid to call anybody out on their bullshit, which gets me in trouble sometimes lol. A witch! It all started when I began collecting crystals :). I can be loud and excitable but I usually only show this side of me to people I know won’t judge me for it. My love language is definitely physical touch and gifts. I love making stuff for people and I’m touch starved lol. I’m definitely a hoarder, I’ve got so much stuff, blame it on my goblin tendencies. I love collecting stuff from nature such as bones, feathers, rocks, bugs, and plants. I’m also a bit of a forager, chicken of the woods is my favorite mushroom! I… don’t particularly enjoy children. They just have no boundaries :/. I probably will never be able to fully deal with children because of my disorders, but I have four nephews and being a cool aunt is enough for me. Besides, my animals are basically my kids anyways, I absolutely dote on them and they’re my pride and joy.

Hello lovely! I'm so sorry I'm just now getting to this! Life has been wild, and I just opened tumblr up for the first time in AGES. T.T

My first immediate instinct is to say I'd match you with Julian! I can picture you two together, earning a reputation as an insanely charismatic gremlin duo. You and he would get along so well, and I can see him keeping up with your boundless thoughts very well, and vice versa. You both tend to shy away at first from others, but when given the time to blossom and come out of your shell (if you'll pardon the mixed plant and animal metaphors, lol), you'll find so many mutual interests that you won't know where to start!

If you don't think this man's gonna be right there with you, foraging mushrooms and collecting interesting rocks, feathers, bones, etc. you're wrong. And I think he's relatively ambivalent about whether he wants kids, like, he's open to it, but absolutely doesn't need them, and to some extent, genuinely believes it'd be better if he never had any at all, so he wouldn't be bothered if he never had any. He would 100% adore doting on your nieces and nephews, though, and would be the best proud uncle!

This man's like a crow, and he will court you like one: he will bring you all of the shinies, and surprise you by leaving little trinkets and rocks, crystals, feathers, all sorts of goodies, around the house for you to discover. He will also happily listen to you talk about your hyperfixations for hours, especially if you're willing to return the favor.

ricky bowen dating hcs

If ricky really falls for you

Which he has at this point

Oh my god

Luckiest person in the world

Once this boy realizes how happy you make him

“I love you means you’re never ever getting rid of me” - ricky bowen probably

You’re always at each other’s places or out somewhere together

If you’re still in school you’ve gotten catching up between classes you don’t have together down to a science

He’s become a fucking professional at texting without getting caught

Whenever you feel your phone buzz in your pocket in class you know there will be at least a few texts that are going to make you laugh

Or blush

Or both

Whatever you’re into

Whatever hobbies or extracurriculars or things you’re passionate about and into

He’s now vicariously into them through you

You like a particular sport?

He blocks out whatever time the team you follow plays to watch with you every week

He’ll learn everything about it that he can but still have you teach him what’s going on cause you love talking about it and he loves when you share with him

He also loves how your eyes light up when he gets something right

“And Patterson’s the… linebacker?”

“Yes!!!!”

Ricky: :) <3

If you’re into more artsy stuff

So is he now

He could watch you sketch and paint for hours

Whether you’re drawing digitally or writing or editing videos or making music he’ll never get bored of watching your cute focused face while your eyes dart across the screen

If you’re rehearsing acting or dance or singing he’ll pick up little parts to duet with you

He’ll learn your favorite iconic dance (dirty dancing end scene i’m looking at you yes he would learn to do the lift and everything), a monologue from your favorite show/musical/movie/play, and your favorite song

He loves enjoying the things you love with you

It makes him so happy and feel so close to you

Whatever fandoms you’re in

Congratulations you now have someone to infodump to and share your favorite media with

He just loves seeing you do stuff you love

He is so affectionate

So goddamn affectionate

He will literally take any and all opportunities for kisses and cuddles

Even just casual touching

Your legs propped up on his lap while you’re watching a movie

Head on your shoulder during a very boring assembly

And a lot of hand holding

Like a whole lot of hand holding

He’s a sucker for teaching you to skateboard as an excuse to hold your waist and hands to guide you

Any thinly veiled excuse for you two to be touchy is one he’ll take

He was never really into school dances before but if you wanna go

He’ll do the absolute most

Make every single one feel like something out of a teen romcom

Whenever you’re upset he’s right there for you

If you need to talk he’ll listen until you’ve gotten everything off your chest

Need some emotional validation?? Boom you got it

He agrees wholeheartedly and organically that that was a shitty thing for them to say to you! You’re definitely not in the wrong here, and you handled that really maturely

Maybe you just want some cuddles and distraction

Next thing you know you’re watching your favorite shows and movies, going on tiktok and showing each other the funniest videos on your fyps

You’re cuddled up on his lap providing very entertaining commentary and jokes as he levels up on the video game he’s playing

He’ll put his hands over yours on the controller and show you how to play

When you’re not together in person you’ll facetime a lot

Most of the time you’ll do homework together

Which turns into getting ready for bed together

Which turns into procrastinating going to sleep together

His favorite moments are when you fall asleep on facetime

He feels so close to you

Just two humans existing with each other

You’re not aware of this

(obviously, you’re asleep)

But he knows if you ever found out you’d think it’s really cute

You might make some jokes

“Oh I didn’t realize my boyfriend is edward cullen”

“Not like that”

“I like to watch you sleep bella~”

You joke around in a pseudo deep voice

You’d both be giggling disasters before you know it

That’s sort of true with everything though

You always find some way to laugh together

Everything is fun with him cause it’s the two of you doing it

Even tedious, frustrating, boring tasks are suddenly exciting cause it’s an excuse to spend time together

You’re both realizing that it’s true

Everything is just better when you’re with each other
