#everyone thinks they’re dating

Hatake clan au:

Hatake and Uzumaki hair is the bane of Sasuke’s emo wardrobe

He tries switching to white clothes like the Hyuga

The Hyuga are confused at first until one day they see Sasuke glaring at their clan head (he has resting bitch face and zoned out) and they go oh shit

They are 100% convinced Sasuke is trying to get them all killed by Itachi via claiming them as family.

Hinata and Neji know this and start dragging Sasuke in areas with a lot of Hyuga where they start talking about shit that makes Sasuke zone out

More than a few people suddenly become religious

WEAPONIZING SASUKE’S RESTING BITCH FACE IS SO FUNNY

Hinata was actually the first person to do it surprisingly enough (after many many assurances that that is in fact just his face and he doesn’t hate her) and it’s mostly by accident. They are helping each other train in the Hyuga compound because Hiashi clearly isn’t going to train her and their eyes are close enough to genetic cousins that they can kinda use the same tactics to strengthen them. Hiashi finds them and is lecturing Hinata about something or another when he slowly trails off looking more and more pale. Hinata can’t figure out why until she looks at Sasuke’s absolutely pissed face and realizes.

(Sasuke is more than willing to shoot Murder eyes at Hiashi. Hinata is… probably the closest thing to a friend he’s had since… ever really. She’s not loud or obsessed with him like his teammates and he understands what it’s like to be compared to a sibling he can never match up to.)

Neji comes later, after Hinata and Sasuke use the same tactic on him and asks if he can use Sasuke’s powers for more evil to fuck with the main line. The fact that Sasuke never gives murder eyes to the branch family is VERY CLEAR.

(I’d say this is a “no rogue Sasuke au” because I just really love the idea of him and Hinata being lowkey chaotic introvert besties.)

steve and billy getting close after starcourt and not understanding that they’re basically a couple. while billy’s been aware of his feelings about steve since his first day here, steve doesn’t realize his feelings aren’t platonic. the way he gets in billy’s space at any given chance, sitting next to him and scooting closer until there’s no distance from their shoulders down. he holds billy’s hand, hugs and lays with him on his bad days. when steve’s having a bad day, he manhandles and bullies billy into straddling his lap, feeling more grounded. he’s clenching his jaw and frowning deeply as he presses his face into billy’s neck and chest, arms locked tight around him so he can’t move— not that he would ever want to.

but they’re not a couple. they’re just friends who help each other out because they’re the only two who understand. he tells himself that a lot, ignoring the fact that he’s not going to robin, nancy, or jonathan for anything of the sort. they’re just friends who can’t sleep without spooning and sharing a bed every night. they’re just friends even though billy steals gentle touches when he thinks steve is sleeping, running his hands over steve’s arms, chest, shoulders, appreciating being held so strong and tight. they’re just friends when steve finally stops pretending to be asleep and leans into billy’s touch. billy looks scared like he’s been caught doing something wrong, trying to think of what to say. they’re just friends when steve’s pretty sure he cuts off an attempt at an apology, leaning in and planting one on him. then he’s mumbling his own apology against billy’s lips for taking too long to do that, but billy’s cutting him off right back, wasting no time and moaning so soft and sweet into steve’s mouth.

love the idea of obito living after the war and he’s assigned to kakashi’s guard as a type of “community service” and people will pass them in a store and obito is grumbling about how he should’ve killed kakashi, the hokage, when he had a chance and kakashi blithely points out that obito’s has had SEVERAL opportunities to kill him over the last several years. but all the villagers hear is the crazy mass murderer war criminal telling their hokage he wants to kill him and kakashi just :3 *shrugs* because if obito wanted to kill him, he would have.

[potato-lord-but-not]

Hello! I have a question, in your last ask what did you mean that they don't actually get romantically involved? As in they don't make anything "official"? I loved the comic so much and I can't wait to see more!!! 💜

I meant that I’m not planning on making them get together as a couple- I love them as a ship but I want to use this to explore their platonic relationship together. Like Jarthur but waaayyy less codependent, more so realizing there’s people out there who actually do care about you unconditionally and want what’s best for you.

Had a dream when perciver became canon and everyone was disappointed that Percy was off the market

[corpusdiem-seizethedead]

Husk: *pointing to a high shelf* Can you reach that for me?

Angel: Awww, Whiskers! You need me in your life after all.

Husk: I could replace you with a step ladder.

Okay but Tommy drops out of high school — he told his father he was gay and he told him he could either be homeless or go to military school. He goes to military school and joins the army and he likes flying the helicopters because it means he doesn’t have to do any of the killing himself. And he makes some friends.

There's one guy who's like the squad leader who's a few years old and built like a Greek god and Tommy's young and a little bit in love. And they're friends maybe even family because this whole group of people spend every waking (and sleeping) moment together. And they all talk like a family and they all say they love each other and tease each other and it's nice. And one night it's just the two of them trading a flask of some sort of alcohol that Tommy doesn't know the name of and the man asks Tommy why he joined the army and where he wants to be in five years and Tommy trusts this man. He's half way in love with him so he doesn't even think twice before he tells the story about the time he came out to his family and his father nearly beat him to death before sending him here. And the conversation tapers off after that and he doesn’t register the change in the air but when he wakes up the next morning he’s being dishonourably discharged because he poses “unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability”. He knows what that means.

Tommy joins the fire department because he doesn’t know what else to do. He represses anything regarding his sexuality because he knows now that it’s wrong. He almost feels like he has a family again because his captain seems to like him and some of the guys are cool even if they say things he doesn’t agree with. And then he starts agreeing because maybe they’re right and he’s wrong and he’s just inherently wrong. So he follows their leads and is just straight racist because that’s how he can fit in.

And then a black lesbian woman joins and says she’s a black lesbian woman and Tommy doesn’t understand that either because you can’t be queer you just can’t be because it’s wrong.

But he nearly dies and and an Asian man saves his life and a black lesbian woman comes up with a better idea than any of them had and she tells them she’s no different and she is just as capable. So he improves himself he does and he tries to be better but he still can’t be who he is because the last 2 times he was honest about that he was betrayed.

Tommy leaves the 118 and “don’t ask, don’t tell” is lifted and he meets this guy he likes who likes him back and the 217 don’t seem to have a problem with the gender neutral pronouns and he slowly but surely lets himself open up again and be who he is and when the thing with that guy doesn’t work out because he’s moving to New York and Tommy’s not sure he’s ready to leave, it’s okay because his crew is there and they support him and he can still be himself.

At this point, everyone thinks Billy and Steve are dating already

[hanzajesthanza]

the fact that the hanza spent yule eve & yule together always haunts me. especially around christmas time heh. they could have done anything else with their time and hung out with anybody else but instead they were like hey guys let’s sit around the kitchen table like we do every single morning and eat some food like we do everything single morning

[ghost-bxrd]

Every update we get on the jaytim spite fic is giving me life, u don’t even know. Also pretty sure first rule of teenage romance is cringe. If they’re being cringe ur probably doing it right.

It’s certainly gonna be a lot of cringe 😭🤣💚

[idontmindifuforgetme]

do u think it’s weird for an 18 and 21 yr old to date?

Yeah tbh. These are such big years for us. Me rn at 21 is so different from me at 18. You could argue that there’s a 21 year old out there who’s just as sheltered as an 18 year old—and to that I say probably, because there are exceptions to every case. But most 21 year olds have had more experience w relationships than 18 year olds. I would side eye any 21 year old who’d see it as appealing to date someone who’s 18. Just not appropriate to me

I’ve never really been into kabrin but the name of the game with them is angst anyways, right, and it clicked in an interesting way for me for a sec a while back while chatting with buddies…

The timeline where he likes her back but he pushes her away because he’s scared of hurting women, being unlovable and ruining people who decide to stay with him’s lives etc etc… The guilt yet the desire that make him act flip floppy and just push him further into "think about nothing else except your plans" mentality… But then the thing that made me 👀⁉️ is Kabru worrying he’s the child of a succubus/incubus in the context of them… He ISN’T but his anxiety that he might be, adds another layer to their angle and omg?

Like Kabru esp with Rin already has that condescending but caring "I can’t possibly give you what you want, because I know better than you do what you want and need (and I’m not that)", the "No, Rin, you don’t want to be involved with me, I won’t let you ruin your life by choosing to stay with me. I know what you really want and need more than you and I am pushing you away for your own good", but with the incubus insecurity slapped on top of it… It’s Kabru feeling even worse about Rin loving him and even more unfit to receive or reciprocate it. It’s Kabru feeling like there’S NO POSSIBLE WAY Rin’s love for him could be genuine, that she could love ~the real him~ or do so genuinely. Because he has his persona he puts on, first of all, and since he doesn’t let down his walls around Rin either imo he thinks he’s got her dancing to its tune, so first it’s like well ok she doesn’t love me she just knows this shell of me, she just latched onto me because we went through similar trauma at the same time and then she got attached to this persona of someone perfect who isn’t me- AND THEN THERE’S THE GUILT THERE’S THE DESPAIR BECAUSE AS AN INCUBUS HE THINKS ANY LOVE OR ATTENTION HE GETS IS INNATELY COERCED? Without mentioning how because he got chased out of his hometown because of his blue eyes, he knows how damning attention can be too, with how his mother was cast out because she stuck with him he knows how dangerous just someone choosing him as a priority can ruin them. Being in the spotlight is a curse and by being magnetic you can be a plague—

He holds back. Can never be too wanting. Too possessive, too intense. He has to be a gentleman—the furthest possible thing from a monster who ravishes. It has to all be calculated, so he stays in control. Feeling like a monster because even as he tries to keep her at a distance, he can't let her go. He is possessive, he does lead her on, even as he tries not to…

Rin’s love for him for years and years STILL can’t be true because it’s all just. Not real. Her love is coerced, it’s manipulated, it’s forced out of her by magic and cunning and I am the worst man alive for it, even if just caused subconsciously or unwillingly— and an even worse one for sort of wanting her love despite it all. He’s ruining her life having her follow him and help his cause like he ruined his mother’s. It’s not me, it’s the fake, it’s the surface, it’s the magic…. He feels unlovable so of course with his bestie he wants to protect who’s into him it’s like, no I can’t indulge her that because it’s fake love it’s manipulated it’s just magic or brain chemistry or infatuation, anything that discounts it because I can’t allow myself to think it’s real and true and genuine and for me and if it was then it’s scary in new ways.

And the thing is that NOOOO Rin DOES know him she’s tired of his fake ass! She nags him because she cares and part of her gets really frustrated because of how much he hides himself under layers of pretense!! She’s reaching in and he’s pulling away again and again further and further away! They’re childhood friends, the only meaningful one that we know of, maybe the only one they had, and yes they went through trauma that defined their relationship but what fuels Rin to follow Kabru is that she knows he ISN’T perfect, because she’s worried for him. And he wants her there too but he also wants to keep her distant from him, he just wanted to get her out of the elves’ grasp, wanted her safe and free too, and still he lets her orbit around him without ever letting her in almost at all and it’s all sooo frustrating and!! Kabru taking on this "your love for me isn’t genuine :/" spiel would make them have such delish convos and wake up calls and arguments and augh the hurt/comfort…………. Can a harsh self-critic who won’t trust others’ assesments of him and a harsh tough love-r make it work…

Kabrin is so so sad…. From what we see you could say Rin is Kabru’s best friend and to me that’s the saddest thing because that feels more qualified by an absence of more/better friendships rather than how great they get along. But yeah there’s familiarity, there’s "i don’t want to leave her behind/be left behind"….. Just…..

Just the lifelong fear like an itch at the back of your mind you try to push down, that you feel like a monster that can’t fit in and belong and something is wrong with you, but can never truly let go Kabru’s layered so many images onto himself to adjust to everyone else that even he wouldn't even know who's good for him, thinks there's no one he could belong with well I bet…

Honestly a timeline where he’s miserable about it but pushes Rin into the arms of someone else because he would never want to hurt her and he doesn’t think he can provide for her right etc would go hard. Not letting it show, all smiles and "good for you! ���� I’m glad", but Rin knows him enough that she notices he’s not being fully genuine, in the way his back is tense when he walks away…. She’s watched him walk away a lot after all, she’s followed behind his back a lot, after all. She knows him, like how he knows her and it’s insulting when he thinks that isn’t twoway in this relationship.

Zelda actively fought against Ganon for a century and used the minimal energy she had to watch over Link

Like that girl is so dedicated and her unwavering faith in Link is just so so precious
