hotvintagepoll Hot Men Tournament rundown thoughts

I promised a final recap post and here it is! I'll try to cover the questions I saw the most as we closed out the bracket, reveal my ✨secret faves✨, and talk about the biggest surprises and turnarounds I saw in the brackets.

Yes, this will get silly.

ROUND 1

As I've mentioned before, I worked off submissions for who to include in the bracket, so if your fave was missing—that's why. I used submitted pics when I could, but many submissions didn't have one, so I tried to find decent ones in the couple of days I had to prep the first round (I didn't always succeed). By decent, I mean pics where 1) I could see the hot man's face, so not too much moody lighting, and 2) hopefully conveyed something about his vibe, even if it was a funny thing (yes, I showed Howard Keel in full Shakespeare get-up—I'm not beyond putting up a pic because I think it's funny). I didn't know all of these hotties going in, so some I had to guess with, but when I could I tried to pick shots that had a touch of the humor, class, or genre of the hot man.

For Round 1 and Round 2, I grouped the hotties by each decade, so only '60s actors ran against '60s actors, '50s against '50s, etc. Male beauty standards shifted pretty dramatically over the sixty years this tournament covers, and I didn't think it was fair to pit dramatically different styles of beauty against each other immediately.

I pitted hot men against each other based on opposing energies—hot vs cold, elegant vs rough, comedy vs drama, etc.. I wanted the polls to be interesting and I've never liked brackets where everyone is clearly in different "lanes" until the finals! I also wanted to make polls where I couldn't tell which way they would swing, so by setting matchups that felt opposite but equal, I got to be surprised by the bracket results too.

The only reason we had any three-way matchups is because the amount of men submitted didn't round to a nice bracket number. I don't like them generally and find them really hard to balance.

Secret faves from Round 1—I am a James Coburn girlie and knew he would die immediately, so that was not a shock but a bummer. I similarly knew Robert Preston is only magical to people who have seen him do His Little Dance Routines in That One Iowa Musical, but it would have been nice for him to last longer.

Surprises—Jeremy Brett was a last-minute add and I didn't think he really had a shot, so I put him in as a third wheel on the Sean Connery/Dean Martin matchup. Little did I count on the Granada girlies. (Always count on the Granada girlies.) The Elvis/Peter Falk poll was the first one to gain any momentum—Elvis was winning for the first 24 hours but then, my god, did Peter fight back. I didn't expect the Tab/Toshiro poll to make that bad a mincemeat out of Tab—people have different tastes, and I thought the people who like blonde sunny All American white boys might turn out for The Blonde Sunny All American White Boy. Sorry, Tab. I hope you've peeled yourself off the sidewalk by now. And, of course, I was SHOCKED and APPALLED that James Cagney would be obliterated by, of all people, Mr. Bing Crosby.

SHADOW BRACKET

The fervor of the Harold Lloyd and Fredric March people inspired the shadow bracket, and I couldn't be happier at the way it's gone. You were right, the original photos I had for them did suck. Cunty Harold Lloyd in his little life guard uniform was a revelation.

ROUND 2

For Round 2 I'd gotten a better sense of who was doing well and who was not, so a little of that came into play, but I mostly paired on vibes again. (I genuinely think this is a good way to make a fun, challenging bracket.)

Secret faves—Noooo not hot dilf Dick Van Dyke don't take my hot inventor dilf away uwu!!! (He was up against Marlon Brando. I would have been shocked if he'd won but for a minute there, a glorious second, it was possible.) I am also a big old softie for David Niven's particular brand of repression to the point of volcanic rupture, but he is one of many hotties who does not look good without moving and speaking so I figured he would be going.

So much beef—hey! hey you. I ran a poll asking if we are horny for dancers. Yes, was the resounding poll response. Where, then, did all the fucking dancers go? This round we lost Donald O'Connor, Fred Astaire, Harold Nicholas; Sammy Davis Jr., Danny Kaye, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby all sneak into this category as well, by token of having been in the kind of big MGM bang-a-pan-and-put-on-a-show beloved bedlams we all watch at Christmastime. Round 2 voters HATED musical matchups. Except for one.

The one—SOUND OF MUSIC, the voters said, WE LOVE SOUND OF MUSIC. we will KILL the man responsible for salad dressing because of the SOUND OF MUSIC. every other dance man can die but THIS man dances a FOLK DANCE with JULIE ANDREWS in a GARDEN. I did not go into this poll with strong opinions about Christopher Plummer or Paul Newman but my god did I leave having heard all of them.

Surprises—James Edwards/Anthony Perkins matchup was a nail biter! Conrad vs Oscar kept me up at nights. Surprised to see Basil Rathbone survive against Sabu Dastagir—both very fetching, but Sabu had some top-tier propaganda. Cesar Romero put up a surprisingly stiff fight against Cary Grant (an omen for things to come).

Oh horrors—horror heroes surprisingly fell all over the place. I was sure either Bela Lugosi or Turhan Bey would sweep their three-way matchup, but Michael Redgrave of all people carried through; Boris Karloff went down against Johnny Weismuller (while holding hands with fellow fallen hottie Fred Astaire), but at least we got his guacamole recipe before he went. Delighted to see that the Venn diagram of the coalitions who support horror hero Vincent Price and funny lil guy Donald O'Connor is a circle.

Secret faves pt 2—oh yeah, I fucking love Danny Kaye and Donald O'Connor. RIP funny lil kings.

ROUND 3

For some reason this was the hardest one to make matchups for. Oh no, all the men are hot.

Secret faves—Michael Redgrave i love you SO much you're SUCH an idiot, how did you make it as far as round 3. I want you to sweep the whole thing but you should NOT be surviving this. I love you, here's a kiss, go home.

Surprises—Marlon Brando is gone! Errol Flynn is gone! Christopher Plummer exhausted himself beating the organic oreos man to death and goes out with a whimper. Beginning to actually see the roots of #mifunesweep as Tyrone Power, a hot man very different from Burt Lancaster, who was in turn very different from Tab Hunter, also gets swept under the wheels of the unbeatable toshirobus. Conrad Veidt finds that no amount of purring svelte eccentricity compares to the people who will fuck a young Lt. Columbo.

SHADOW BRACKET 2

Cannot believe it but Veidt loses this one too. Perkins sweeps and becomes Prince of the Shadow Realm!

ROUND 4

At this point I've set a formal bracket that I'm following.

Secret faves—this isn't secret anymore, but losing Jimmy Stewart hurt.

Surprises—The Gene Kelly/Jeremy Brett matchup was the diciest one all round, moving back and forth between the two by sometimes .01%. Far more surprising, however, was Cary Grant getting eliminated before the quarterfinals. Grant has never been my type, but he is famous for being THE type, so while the writing had been on the wall the whole tournament—how on earth did Michael Redgrave even get 36% in his matchup?!—seeing Grant go down was a SHOCKER. Other fallen hotties included Gregory Peck, James Dean, Harry Belafonte, and Sessue Hayakawa. Peter Falk finally met his match in Omar Sharif.

QUARTERFINALS

Secret faves—I don't know if it counts as a secret fave, tbh, as my horses in the race really went out with Stewart, but I do have a soft spot here worth mentioning. Here's my childhood dog, Keaton.

The resemblance is truly striking, and yes, he was short, fast, and not prone to smiling.

Surprises—I couldn't predict how any of these matchups would go down, but I was most interested in Keaton vs Sharif, as they are both SO hot in SUCH different ways.

SEMIFINALS:

This was such a good batch of semifinalist contestants. By this point I think we could all tell Mifune was unstoppable (though I thought Sharif might give him a run for his money), but I really didn't know which way Robeson vs Poitier would flip.

FINALS:

I wanted Sidney Poitier to pull a last-minute sweep out of nowhere, but alas, Toshiro is just THAT GOOD (maybe. I will admit that I find Toshiro's domination a little hard to believe, given the variety and hotness of all his competitors; the man is hot but all these men are hot). I'm still happy with how the tournament went.

FINAL MEDITATIONS:

Biggest shock of a dropout: the loss of Paul Newman

Biggest "you people have no taste": the loss of James Cagney

Biggest victory: Paul Robeson making it to the semifinals over often-assumed champion Gregory Peck

Biggest coalition who deserve justice: dancing men

Biggest ask character: vents anon (currently eating Laurence Olivier)

Biggest, uhh, anything: how many of you are here! I genuinely thought it would be me and 10 other people voting for the whole tournament. I'm thrilled it took off like this!

I think that's everything, but I'm happy to answer addl asks. And THANK YOU to everyone for your tags, rants, impassioned propaganda, beautiful pics, and love for the hot men! See you for the ladies!

[justsomerandomfanfic]

Hiya! I’d like to request a DC (Batfam) matchup (both platonic and romantic)

I’m 19 and about to turn 20 in next year, she/her, I prefer match with boy. I have long black hair in jellyfish haircut, black eyes, 5’1 ft. tall, wearing rose pink-gold glasses. I’m pretty super shy when meeting new people, but I’ll be pretty friendly when I get used to around them, even I like being lone wolf sometimes. But I’m always humble when it comes to compliments for something like that, and I always bottling myself up so they won’t be worry about me— I don’t wanna show them my weak self

I like playing video games, watching series and cartoons and listening to music— my fav artists are THE RAMPAGE and Ballistik Boyz from EXILE TRIBE. My favorites game rn are Persona, Gotham Knights, Love and Deepspace and Purenista. Oh— and I’m super interested in Jirai Kei clothes, I’d like to try them sometimes, also coquette clothes too. I like pink, white, blue and black.

I think that’ll be it for now, hope you’ll have a nice day/night! 👐🏻✨

HI!

I hope you like your matchups!

Both platonic and romantic.

Enjoy! <333

(I also hope you have a good day/night!)

Dick Grayson -

You met Dick at a Gotham City community event sponsored by Wayne Enterprises, focused on supporting youth education programs.

You were there mainly to check out the art installations and avoid the crowd, but tripped (classic Gotham sidewalk) and dropped your blue glasses.

Dick, being the absolute gentleman he is, swooped in to hand you your glasses before you could even react, offering a charming smile and a lighthearted joke to ease the awkwardness.

You shyly thanked him, trying not to get flustered by how dazzling his smile was.

Razzle dazzle.

He noticed your interest in the art pieces and struck up a conversation about them, sensing your shyness but giving you space to speak at your own pace.

After that meeting, Dick went out of his way to check in whenever he saw you again - at the library, Wayne Tech events, or even random coffee shops in Gotham.

Your mutual love for video games quickly became a bonding point when he overheard you talking about Persona with someone. He lit up, and soon enough, he was asking for co-op gaming nights.

Tim Drake got roped into your gaming hangouts, and the three of you often ended up bickering about who gets to play who in what games.

Dick is annoyingly good at video games for someone who claims he doesn’t play often.

Dick was drawn to your kindness and humility, noticing how you’d bottle up your emotions to avoid troubling others.

He admired your strength but also worried about how much you carried alone.

He started showing up for you in small ways—bringing you snacks during late-night gaming sessions, sending you silly memes about Gotham's crumbly streets and constant rain (because Gotham humor), and leaving handwritten notes of encouragement in your game cases.

You slowly started noticing how his compliments felt more personal, and his teasing turned softer.

When Tim pointed out, “He’s always looking at you like you hung the moon or something,” you couldn’t stop blushing.

Dick confessed after a particularly rough night of patrol.

The first date was a surprise outing to a lowkey rooftop cafe in Gotham with fairy lights and a view of the city.

Dick wanted something cozy and intimate where you wouldn’t feel overwhelmed.

But, if that is too much, he is more than willing to just get take-out and watch a movie with you.

He gifted you a bracelet with a tiny, bird charm, saying, “I got you, babe."

The Batfam adored you, especially Alfred, who insisted you join their family dinners.

Damian was skeptical at first but warmed up after you showed him some of your favorite music.

Sometimes Dick would just find you and Damian laying on one of the floors of the mansion, just staring at the ceiling, blasting your music.

Nightwing patrol ride-alongs! (Only when it’s safe.)

He loves watching you try out Jirai Kei and coquette-inspired outfits, showering you with sincere compliments like, “You look breathtaking.”

Sometimes, he’d even help you pick out accessories, surprisingly good at matching colors and styles.

"You don't have to carry everything alone. I'm here."

If you ever expressed an interest in learning acrobatics, he’d teach you, claiming, “It’s in the Grayson genes to be amazing at flips.”

You’d surprise him with little trinkets, like a custom charm for his Escrima sticks or a scrapbook of your favorite moments together.

If he ever seemed off after a tough night as Nightwing, you’d sit with him in silence, offering quiet comfort until he was ready to talk.

If family events with the batfam ever get overwhelming, Dick is always there to take you to a different room, before scolding everyone.

Will love it if you ever watch to wear matching clothes.

And will love it if you ever want to try on his Nightwing costume.

Jason Todd -

You met Jason at Gotham’s Public Library.

You were immersed in a true crime novel.

You didn't know why you were reading it.

But, Jason couldn’t resist making a dry comment about how unrealistic the book’s portrayal of Gotham criminals was.

At first, his sarcastic tone caught you off guard, but you quickly warmed up when he joked, “Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you. I’m not a creep - promise.”

It took a bit for you to really open up - and trust this random guy - but you did.

And you found out that his name was Jason.

Jason appreciates how you don’t push him to open up but still offer a quiet presence when he needs it. He starts calling you his “book buddy.”

And "movie buddy."

And "gaming buddy."

And "buddy buddy."

The two of you often exchange playlists, and he surprises you by liking some of your softer songs. “Don’t tell anyone I listen to this, or I’ll lose my street cred.”

You introduce him to your favorite games, and he pretends he’s only kind of into them, even though he’s secretly grinding levels late at night.

Just so he can beat you.

How rude XD.

Jason has a protective streak a mile wide, so when he realizes you tend to bottle up your emotions, he tells you, “You’ve got me. Always. Don’t forget that.”

He often drags you to hidden gems around Gotham, like hole-in-the-wall diners or rooftop gardens, saying, “Gotta show you the real Gotham.”

The Batfam occasionally joins in, and while Jason pretends to be annoyed, he secretly loves seeing you interact with them.

You and Tim bonding over games might even make him jealous - just a little.

Midnight strolls around Gotham while blasting music through a shared pair of earbuds. He loves how easy it is to just exist around you.

He introduces you to shooting at the Batcave’s range, saying, “Every Gothamite needs to know how to protect themselves.”

(Don’t worry—he’s patient, but he teases you when you miss.)

You’d both marathon cheesy horror movies, and he’d mock the bad acting while sneaking popcorn out of your bowl.

If anyone made you feel uncomfortable, Jason would be the first to step in with a sharp comment or a not-so-subtle glare. “Mess with them, you mess with me.”

Honestly, who am I kidding? The whole batfam is going to be there for you.

He’d fix anything that breaks in your apartment, even if it’s 3 AM.

Sometimes you'll just find Jason lounging on your couch at 3 in the morning when you grab a glass of water.

Your place becomes a safe place for him when he doesn't want to deal with people or family.

Jason secretly commissions a Jirai Kei-inspired jacket for you.

You’d quietly slip his favorite snacks or books into his bag, knowing he rarely treats himself.

If he ever had a rough night as Red Hood, you’d offer a distraction by challenging him to a game or sharing a funny story.

He’d appreciate your effort to lighten his mood.

hi!! could i request a matchup for squid game :3 (please ignore me if you aren't & sorry for bothering you!!)

basic info: i'm celestia, bisexual (i love all women and men too old for me) & bigender, vietnamese american, intj, scorpio

appearance: 5'2ft, on the thinner side, glasses, short black hair dyed with blonde streaks at the front, slightly tan

love languages are physical touch & acts of service

I’m described very soft-spoken and sweet by those who don’t know me well, but sassy and sarcastic to those who do. some pros about me are that I'm understanding, supportive, loyal, affectionate, and good at compromising. some cons are that I'm insecure, slightly obsessive/possessive due to bipolar disorder, and anxious.

some extra facts are that i adore cats (and all animals really but my partner cannot dislike cats), dislike thinking about the future /change and struggle to figure out what I want to do in life, love things that may be considered childish, and a perfectionist who pays too much attention to details so I don't start anything out of fear of failure.

i hope this makes sense and is enough information!!

I was pretty quick writing this ! Hope you like it 💕

I ship you with…

✨The Salesman ✨

- You first met in an unexpected yet fateful moment—his sharp, knowing gaze immediately picking up on your reserved nature. He was intrigued by the contrast between your soft-spoken demeanor and the sharp wit that surfaced once you were comfortable.

- The Salesman is a man of mystery and control, yet he finds himself fascinated by your depth. Your intelligence and attention to detail impress him, while your perfectionism reminds him of his own calculated nature.

- He recognizes your anxious tendencies and possessive streak but never makes you feel guilty for them. Instead, he reassures you in subtle ways—whether through a lingering touch, an inside joke, or just his steady presence when you need it.

- Your love for physical touch and acts of service aligns well with his own quiet but intentional ways of showing affection. He isn’t overly affectionate in public, but in private, he’d indulge you with small yet meaningful gestures—a hand lingering on your lower back, a quiet brush of fingers against yours, a knowing smirk when you’re flustered.

- He’d be amused by your sassy, sarcastic side, playfully challenging you in conversation. His teasing is always intentional, designed to make you roll your eyes or blush in frustration—he enjoys seeing your reactions.

- When your insecurities creep in, he won’t overwhelm you with grand reassurances. Instead, he’ll remind you of your strengths in a way that feels natural—mentioning how your loyalty and understanding nature set you apart, making sure you never doubt your worth.

- He admires your love for animals, especially cats, and would never dismiss something so important to you. He’s not necessarily the type to own pets himself, but he would be indulgent—perhaps letting you talk endlessly about your favorite animals or surprising you with something cat-themed just to see your face light up.

- Change and uncertainty are things he understands well, but instead of forcing you to think about the future, he’d meet you in the present, letting you take things at your own pace. He enjoys your love for "childish" things, seeing it as part of what makes you unique rather than something to outgrow.

- At his core, he’s a man who values intrigue and intelligence, and you’re someone who keeps him engaged. Your dynamic would be a dance of teasing and understanding, challenge and comfort—an unspoken bond that goes beyond words but is felt in every action.

Howdy love!

I was wondering if I may request a matchup for which fella I'd match up with best from Tombstone 1993, please? 💜✨ Some tidbits about me....

Eye color: gold/amber with a navy blue trim (they're weird lol)

Hair: naturally a dark blonde, but I dye it black

Personality: charismatic, an extroverted introvert (just gotta be around the right people), can be sarcastic at times but lovingly , and I adore all thing western. Yee to the haw.

Hobbies: I do pinup contests 🥰 , I love practicing marksmanship with my Colt, and I like writing and reading poetry.

Thanks so much ! 💜💜✨

Yay! Howdy friend. I am so excited for this!!!! (Also your eyes don't sound weird, they sound lovely)

This took me a hot minute because honestly, I think you would get along with many of the men in this amazing movie.

However, one immediately came to mind.

I am going to match you up with our one and only Doc Holiday!

I do believe that your charm is what at first catches his attention. Perhaps he sees you laughing with your friends at the bar or at one of your pinup competitions and you greet him with a smooth remark or sees you charming the pants off of someone

He'll try to get your attention first by sending you a drink, followed by him inviting you over to sit beside him as he gambles with the Earp's, discussing whatever you would like while making bank from poker.

Once you get a little farther along in your relationship, he would absolutely love it if you would share your writings and poetry with him, and he's an educated man, so if you ever get stuck on a missing word he will have plenty of them to recommended.

And if he finds a poem in a book that reminds him especially of you? He shall carefully copy it down and write you a wonderful love letter explaining that he sees you always, even in words on the pages of a book.

As you probably know, Doc is the best marksman in the west, he will love that you have a shared hobby. I can totally see this being a date for the two of you.

He will support your pinup contests and will even buy you new outfits to wear with some of his gambling won cash

He is very proud to have a very badass and elegant partner

I think Doc would take you dancing, if that's your kinda thing, as another form of date night, always accompanied by sweet words and charming wit, he refuses t let his condition get in the way of a night out with you, even if you object.

I think you both would overall, play off each other a lot. He's the dry sarcasm, you are the loving sarcasm, very confusing to those around you at times. Both of you together must be very charming pair.

ok, that was so much fun! I actually squealed and woke my dog up when I got this and he kinda glared at me lol. I really hope you like it, this made my day.

[isadollie]

★ matchup exchange with @eternalwritess <3!

♡ megumi fushiguro is your match!

★ he might be a bit grumpy at times but i hope it's not a problem for you lol

★ also not a big fan of physical touch, especially pda

★ will hold your hand in busy places, afraid to lose you in a crowd, but that's probably it

★ after he found out you like movies, he asked itadori for advice (cause megumi himself isn't too good with it), and then him and yuji spend the whole day talking about different movies

★ basically yuji was explaining to him plot of your favourite film, because just watching it isn't enough

★ and the next day megumi surprised you with how much he knows about it!

★ absolutely loves your sarcastic side

★ especially finds it super funny when someone around you can't tell whether you're being sarcastic at the moment or not, because HE always knows ✨

★ he's a little bit tsundere-ish, so sometimes he might act like he doesn't care, but you know the truth

★ the way his eyes soften when he receives a gift from you is just so adorable

★ he mutters just a little 'thank you' and that's it, but once he's alone he looks at it so carefully, wants to remember every single detail about it

★ cherishes everything you give him

★ i also imagine that he won't show those gifts to anyone around him (especially gojo lol) because he can't risk that someone might accidentally break or damage it

★ he knows he wouldn't be able to forgive himself, and he wouldn't be able to look you in the eyes after that, even if you said it's okay

the day was amazing.

it was a saturday, and both yoh and megumi were free from any duties, so you decided to spend the day together. just the two of you, without any distractions. it's been so long since the last time you were able to do something like that.

you felt as if it was your birthday, everything was just so sweet. you started the day by visiting your favourite coffee shop. even megumi seemed to be happier than usual; he was much more talkative, and he showed his soft smile a lot. it made you so happy.

then, you went to the movies. megumi held your hand through the whole film, and you fed him popcorn from time to time. luckily the movie was pretty loud, otherwise the rest of the people would be able to heard your soft laugh as you fed him.

the both of you kept repeating how awesome the day is, and that you should have all day long dates like this more often, whenever you have a chance.

but nothing lasts forever.

after the movies, you decided to end the day with some ice cream. megumi barely managed to pay for both of your orders, when you two heard a loud voice from the other side of the shop.

"megumiiii!!!"

oh no. gojo was here.

he was sitting alone in the corner of the ice cream shop, a few empty ice cream cups in front of him signalizing that he's been there for a while.

and so, the rest of the date wasn't calm and peaceful at all; with satoru talking your ears off, he even ended up eating megumi's ice cream too.

your second choice? itadori yuji!

yuji was my first thought, especially the part about you liking movies lol. but at the same time i feel like itadori loves physical touch a bit too much maybe? then i settled for megumi!

a/n: hiii, so so sorry it took me so long to complete this!!! anyway, i hope you like it:))

✨ glasses-wearing blorbos tournament ✨

Hello and welcome to the glasses blorbos tournament poll!! Where we will find out which spectacled character reigns supreme over the rest (but not in a mean-spirited way, because we love peace and love) (the losers will all DIE, badly).

We will be determining how the bracket is seeded (randomized or not, etc.) from YOUR guys' opinions! we'll start asking once the submissions close.

Once the poll starts, we encourage asks, replies, tags, posts, etc. with propaganda for your faves!!

you can start submitting your glasses-wearing blorbos NOW here!: link to the google form. but please read the rules below first.

rules:

be nice to your fellow real, living, breathing people.

no terfs no bigots no bitches

submit only via the form linked above; submissions via ask will not be accepted. only use the asks for questions, propaganda, and to be super nice to us

there is no deadline for the submissions yet. we will see when we close them once we start to get submissions, so please submit!

don't submit the same character more than once, but do make several submissions for several different characters if you so wish. you know how it goes.

in principle, we will only be accepting submissions for characters who wear glasses, NOT contacts, for like at least about 50% of their screentime. but it doesn't mean nobody else will be accepted! characters who wear them very rarely, wear a monocle, or have some other weird thing going on that we can't even imagine right now will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

keep in mind we are two people who don't know every piece of media in the world, and we can't spend all of our time doing research!! for this reason, try to provide evidence if it needs to be provided!

the criteria for who the superior glasses-wearer is up to you: do they represent the SPIRIT of glasses-wearing better? are they more iconic for the fact of wearing glasses than the other one? do they wear their glasses BETTER? or are they just your FAVORITE out of the two?!?! doesn't matter. but we're thinking it's mostly about the latter.

There are some characters we will be including by default because at least One of us Likes them (Velma Scooby Doo, Alphys Undertale, Berdly Deltarune, Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium, Teru Mikami from Death Note... maybe more...)

mods:

yo! i'm glitz, i'm also @thesoupisburning and i'm here because i wear glasses and think everyone should know ! i'll be doing most of the mathy stuff and also if you say anythin mean to us, you're saying something mean to rat and i WILL come for you. heart :} use any and all pronouns for me or check my carrd via my main. i am very friendly and love attention so please. please interact. also im opinionated and super sexy trust me bro <3

hi I'm @ratbefriender she/her you can call me Rat and it all started when I was approximately 7 years old and I wore glasses to school for the first time. when my classmates started asking me how many fingers they were holding up, I knew I had to fight the good fight for our brave spectacled blorbos, despite the word blorbos not existing yet. anyway: we're just having fun <3 be nice to us. peace and love.

so he heard from the grapevine that you wanna play d&d and he squealed. listen, your chaotic, creative energy literally makes him feel like he’s not the only crazy one. you both would get along so well that yall would be inseparable practically. he’s the type of bro to take your ocs and put them in the sims for you.

the fact that you are also willing to get buck so easily, you make for one of those bodyguards with scary dog privileges and he breathes that man, like woah. he appreciates you. he would definitely teach you how to play d&d, lol, wow, all those games, and he would definitely throw out a nat 20 roll if he could to try and go simp mode, because let’s be honest, he does simp. and when this poor soul simps, he simps hard. take a metal pipe and drop it on him, that’s basically the equivalent of how he feels. regardless his shy little ass would rather just not act up on it because he doesn’t wanna look weirder than he already is.

how you lot would hang would be so niche… like a totally individualist kinda vibe, like it’s yalls’ energies, just mingling with each other. parallel activities are very much appreciated to him, like if you’re reading a book while he’s gaming, that’s a good deal to him. he also doesn’t do well in terms of executive dysfunction, as per his younger brother. if you actually remind him that he has to take care of things, because let’s face it, this blue blur gets caught up in his games for the most part that he sometimes forgets what time it is, he’ll appreciate you even more, in his stuttering red face way of course.

but there have been times where he would have to try and shakily pull your reins back. one time you saw a wasp in his room, and then he heard and saw it while he was in the middle of a quick match, and oh lord, he lost his shit. in response you decided to take the nearest object, which was one of his microphones, and tried to throw it at the wasp. you didn’t succeed at this however because he caught wind of you trying to kill it with his mic, and he held you and started yelling, “yo bestie! fuckin chill out that’s a murder hornet!” you still ended up killing the hornet anyway for him. bro was rizzed.

you lot eventually get closer and when white day hits he decides to be mr smooth guy and tried to (very nervously,) invite you over to his dorm for a movie. of course he picked an anime movie and you lot would end up having sort of an cheesy moment where he would kinda confess to you after the movie ended, all bashful and shit. it would be such a cute little set of banter. At first,he would be just as equally nervous around you in a relationship as he was before when he was crushing hard for you. holding hands in public? that’s a post marital act, how dare you manhandle this poor man with your sinful actions?! idia is definitely more of an introverted closed off person, therefore PDA is a no go for him as he thinks it’s embarrassing. behind closed doors though, thats a different story. idia is a massive cuddlebug and likes to have you sit in his lap as he games out. your relationship with idia is none but wholesome, especially when others find out. he would get teased for finally having a partner, more so with other students of ignihyde, which he jokes to you about as you’re really the only person he can talk comfortably to besides his younger brother and those he games with. you both share a very close bond with one another– one that is damn near bedrock solid. its cute, really.

NSFW SECTION

»trey clover

now, i was actually debating on lilia and silver as well. but i was like… hm. trey definitely looks like a good choice here. if you didn’t go for the other three, being idia, or maybe lilia or silver, trey would have been who you went for. trey has the reins needed to pull you back as he’s more relaxed and level headed, and this in turn goes well with your… bratty tendencies… we all know trey dislikes conflict.

you’re the chaotic cat to his gentle big dog, basically. and oh, what a pairing this is.

i feel like trey would be the guy to insert a gentle sense of control— a soft dominant. with the air of a saint bernard, he’s careful with you with his words, his tone, his touches… but on the surface, that’s all he lets you know. key words being, on the surface.

you like ropes. and he likes control. with careful discussion beforehand, he’ll happily tie you down. hes not really into intricacies such as shibari or anything the like, as it’s too complex and busy for him, but it does look pretty. he’ll try shibari maybe a few times with you, but at the end of the day, trey definitely is a sucker for the simpler things. tying your hands behind your back, along with your forearms. handcuffs? maybe. if he’s too impatient for the ropes. they’re the fluffy ones though— he cares about your comfort.

if you wanna take the reins sometime, he’ll gladly let you… for a bit. have your luck with him— his name is clover after all. riding him slowly and tenderly, i get the feeling that trey is more so into intimate and slow love making than the rough act of sex, admiring the romantic aspect of it all. besides the rigging, if you want to introduce more kinks to the bedroom, he isn’t gonna oppose. he’ll try anything at least once, just for you.

he gets to know the mommy/daddy kink well but doesn’t go overboard with the whole idea of the kink where it goes into age play territory. trey gets off to it mainly for the moniker and strictly the moniker at first. eventually though he starts to explore the idea of being more of a caring dominant in conjunction with the daddy moniker, and shit… he’s figured out that he gets off to that so hard it hurts.

its a weekend and you’re out with the other heartslabyul students studying out or whatever, and you come back to trey’s part of the dorms to hear heavy breathing coming from trey’s bedroom. of course, your chaotic cat kicks in and you quietly open his door to see him masturbating to something on his computer. he was probably watching porn to learn more about how to please you better based off of the things you’ve already told him. the way he slowly stroked up and down his shaft, combined with the gentle squeezing he would have… it was enough to have your eyes glued to him. and the moment he saw you touching yourself to him, that’s when he would break. two things that could happen. he could hide it and he could grow heavily embarrassed, or he could break and discipline you for being a “peeping tom.” your voyeurism has gotten you your fair share of punishments from trey. and usually when he does punish you it’s filled with orgasm denial and the inability to touch until you’re crying and begging. (no. you have to be sincere. any mockery here is only gonna make it worse.)

aftercare with trey is fucking godly. he cares for your wellbeing after all and will coddle you, especially after a rough session. he’s the type of dude to go get you a light snack and some cranberry juice and cuddle you to sleep, praising you all the way down until you snooze. he’s attentive, and if you have any problems, he stops immediately without question. after all, even the most chaotic of souls also need care as well.

[rottmntsimp]

Hai!! I saw that your requests are open and you also do match-ups! I was wondering if I could request a match-up for ROTTMNT?? (Feel free to ignore this if ur busy btw ^^’)

I’m 5’5, trans FTM. I go by multiple names, but my internet alias is Mia. I have short brown hair with raccoon tails (like the 2000’s scene-kid kind) and dark brown eyes. My hobbies are art (digital/traditional) crafts, collecting trinkets or Monster High Dolls and LPS. I have autism & ADHD, and my special interests are ants and psychology. I have a big vocabulary and I have a hard time being emotionally open. My personality type or whatever it’s called is INFP-T, but I like to act dramatic and ‘mean’ for the giggles.

(Again, feel free to completely ignore this request lol.)

Hey Mia!! Sorry I took so long- [It's my first matchup so bear with me-] Also, don't know if I should add a tag list or not, so I've decided not to

Personally, I ship you with Donnie!

💜 - Finally! Someone who he can talk to without having to dumb it down!

💜 - As for art, if you're the kind to give gifts [paintings and such] expect him to give you little trinkets to collect in return.

💜 - And yes, he will get you whatever doll/action figure you want, not only on special occasions, but on random days as well!

💜 - I can vividly imagine him just flying by on his jetpack, then comically coming to stop as he sees something you'd like through the shop window

💜 - I can not stress this enough but ✨THEATER KIDS✨

💜 - Personally, I believe Donnie's MBTI is INTP [type A or type T, I'll never know]. Seeing as you're both introverted, dates nights or just general hangouts will be spent indoors in one of you guys' homes!

💜 - Movie nights where you both quote the lines <3

💜 - The two of you being emotionally unavailable with each other might or might not become a problem depending on how you two overcome it.

💜 - You may not be openly emotional with each other, but those moment spent in silence, enjoying each other's presence, those little gifts that were traded, the info-dumping sessions spent together, they make up for it pretty well, I'd say <3

💜 - As for the autism and ADHD!

💜 - He doesn't mind, I mean, he'd be a hypocrite if he didn't date you just because you were neurodivergent.

💜 - If you're the kind to stim vigorously, he'll make sure to baby proof his lab a bit, so you don't end up hurting yourself.

💜 - But, he will probably do some stimming himself so happy little stimming sessions are to be expected

💜 - Vocal stims aren't minded either! In fact, if you're both in a good mood, he might join in.

💜 - If you like having someone do your hair, he's willing to try! He'll probably open up YouTube and follow along, and depending on the hair style and your hair type, it might not take too long!

💜 - If you guys are long enough into the relationship for cuddles, he will play with your hair, so beware-

💜 - Ants and psychology you say?

💜 - As a guy with his own special interests, he doesn't mind. In fact, he probably respects you for it.

💜 - Will put aside a project just to listen to you ramble on about either topic.

💜 - As I said earlier, info-dumping sessions are a must!

💜 - Now, if you're into psychology and plan on being a therapist and such, don't try to dig into his emotions too much

💜 - My boy takes time, and he'll open up when he's ready.

Yippie! A wild Tokyo Debunker matchup writer! Anyway, hi. 🍊here. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like a romantic matchup pls. And maybe who'd be besties with me for ✨flavour✨

My MBTI + Enneagram: ENFP 9w1

My star sign is Gemini

Appearance: I am South Asian with straight black hair and tan skin. I usually tie into a low braid because I think it looks cute, and I don't like the feeling of hair on the back of my neck. I am 160 cm tall and pretty scrawny

Personality: I like to say I'm a pretty cheerful and upbeat person. I try my best to smile through tough situations, though it can be hard sometimes. I also like to say I'm a family person, and I will do anything to protect them, and my friends. I am perfectionistic, but sadly I am a bit scatterbrained, much to the dismay of my parents and older sister. Hell, I almost burned the eggs I was making for the first time. I have been working on my organizational skills though, and I’m happy to say that I’ve come a pretty long way. I can be quite petty too. If someone wrongs me, I tell them either bad puns or horrifying facts for a period of time as revenge. I'm also good at math, so my friends come to me for help with that. Also, in almost every friend group I'm in, I somehow become a therapist friend. Lemme tell you, THAT really takes a toll on me. I also have a soft spot for unabridged fairytales (they high-key have me in a chokehold).

Some more lil' factoids about me: I wear my hair in a low braid because I don't like the feeling of hair on the back of my neck. My friends and family often told me my hands get pretty animated when I talk. I can also handle spicy food pretty well, which surprises a lot of my friends. I like to learn about my friends' interests so I can connect better with them. Also, I kin Paulina from the Thea Sisters.

Likes: Anime, drawing comics, video games, unabridged fairytales, sweets (my favourite dessert is caramel pudding) and spending time with my older sister and friends

Dislikes: Cruelty, confrontation (I will kick butt if I need to, literally or figuratively), anyone who dares to threaten my friends or family, arrogance when it gets out of hand, black tea or coffee (I cannot drink it unless it is sweetened or if I have it with a LOT of milk), but I do enjoy dark chocolate once in a blue moon.

Hi 🍊Anon! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took so long. I hope you like your matchups!

In Tokyo Debunker, I match you with...

You and Haru are both very family oriented and I think this is what would initially draw you to each other. You get how important family is to each other and want to be part of each other's families.

I think he would like being around you since you’re so upbeat. He’s pretty cheerful but if surrounded by people who aren’t (like Ren). You’re a nice change of pace.

Please read your favourite unabridged fairy tales to him and Peekabook! He might have to cover the creature’s ears once in a while since those old stories can be a bit graphic at times but they both really love it.

Haru definitely understands your dislike of people who threaten your family and friends. He knows how protective he gets over Peekaboo whenever Taiga comes around. At least now you can fend him off together.

He loves spending time with his family and friends as well and since you definitely fall into that category for him, you’re included in that quality time.

In Tokyo Debunker, I platonically match you with...

I think you and Sho would get along great as friends. Sure, he might tease you for talking with your hands but you can return the favour since I see him as someone who’s quite expressive when talking about something he’s passionate about as well.

He’s also going to tease you for being so scatterbrained but will help you out if you forget things. Just don’t expect him to ever say anything about it or take credit for you having everything you need when you know you forgot something in your room.

I can see you two playing video games together a lot. He doesn’t usually play them himself but is happy to be player two if you need one.

Since you don’t like confrontation, if you ever have a problem with someone, he’s more than willing to stand up and defend you. That’s his best friend they’re talking about! He’s not about to let any nasty comments slide.

Oh, he really can’t get away from spicy food enjoyers can he. As long as you don’t add hot sauce on everything though, he’s fine with it.

[tinywitchgoblin]

Hi! I am Marian ✨ I’m 24, I want to ask you for a bad batch matchup ☺️ (if they still available) 🐒 I read some of them 👀 and they are so good ❤️ I share u a bit about me ☺️ I love composing piano songs and creating music arrangements, also I love to write stories and sing ☺️ (even when my voice is not in tune 😅) Besides that I’m a highly sensitive person reason for which I tend to be kind and empathetic with others but also there are moments in which I feel overwhelmed with the daily routine or activities and I would like not to be surrounded by anyone or having to speak with someone and at the same time there is the feeling of wanting to have someone is... kinda complicated 🙈 and mixing that with anxiety and depression is crazy but I continue moving on 😅 I hope your answer 🤗 Have a nice day batcher! ✨

You too!

I ship you with...

Hunter!

Hunter loves everything music related. It's a good way for him to get some sensory input that he has control over and won't send him into sensory overload. He enjoys sitting with you while you play piano, letting your music flow over him and wash the tension from every muscle in his body. If you're up for it, he'll ask you to teach him some piano basics, and it'll be the two of you sitting on the piano bench, not a care in the world.

Once Hunter felt comfortable opening up to you, you found out that he has an amazing singing voice. The first time you heard him sing was actually when he was in the shower. You'd heard singing coming from somewhere, so you walked out of your shared room towards the bathroom and heard him. It wasn't loud, but it carried just enough for you to hear, and the rich smokiness of his speaking voice is amplified in his singing voice and it is swoon-worthy. After that, there will be times that you and Hunter will sit down and you'll play something on the piano while you and he sing, sometimes even going into harmonies. It's one of the things you and he bond over the most.

Hunter is also a very empathetic person; one unintended side effect of his sensory sensitivities is that he's able to sense other peoples' moods and emotions very strongly, and he hates it. It gets very overwhelming very quickly, and there are times when he'll abruptly leave a social gathering because he needs to not be around other people. So when he finds out that you're the same way, it's comforting to him. You understand why he needs his space, and he doesn't feel like he has to defend himself over it. Sometimes, you and Hunter will both be overwhelmed, so you'll go off and sit somewhere, being alone together to help each other decompress. Having someone that understands that aspect of him in such a deep way is that much more meaningful to him, and just being able to be in a relationship with you means the galaxy to him.

Thanks for reading! If you want a ship request like this one, drop it in my ask box, and don't forget to reblog 💚 it may take a little bit, but I'll get to it eventually!

[sleepiest-writing]

Hello✨✨ man I e been wanting to a mashup since forever so TYSM for this opportunity I genuinely greatly appreciate it✨

Ok so let’s see, I am 5’3 early 20s mex girlie (no real care for pronouns I’ll go by all and any) and non labeled sexuality (I’ll fall for anyone for any reason) possibly adhd or autistic but undiagnosed so no medical proof on that, I am a Scorpio, infp and year of the goat (idk I’ve seen those included in stuff) I love anything art related (arts n craft)? I draw a lot, and in turn also adore seeing peoples art journey, style and character designing. I also adore cooking and baking, but I am a beginner, learnings is so much fun anyways. I’ve been told that I can be energetic, kinda clingy, really forgetful and sweet. Which fair, my head is a constant mess that rarely runs on organized thoughts, most of it is impulsive,how fun. I get distracted easily, my attention span is pretty much nonexistent, and I forget a concerning amount of things throughout the day. I struggle to keep my areas clean but I’m getting better. My love/affection language would be physical touch, words of affirmation and gift giving, not even expensive things, for the most part it’s been homemade meals for my sisters, and small trinkets I find for my friends. I’m also a hopeless romantic, and I love all things horror :3 I also have little to no self preservation, and dares are always a go (I once ate a dandelion cuz me n my sisters thought it would be funny, and it was) oh yeah, I’m also an ambivert who loves to go outside, socializing is a nightmare but people are interesting and I wanna be more social, I’m just stupidly shy. I also have a lot of habits that others seem to like? My sisters have commented I’m very expressive via eyes, and on more than one occasion have caused them to fall laughing. A lot of my relatives have said I’m very loving and have way to much to give because I’m always hugging people I like and clinging to them (ex my favorite Tia), and friends have told me I need to stop being attached or wanting the attention of those who aren’t… All that good to me, I have a difficult time accepting things, change is hard and I can be irrational about things pertaining to my well being. And my last habit would be, that I’ve been called weak willed and dense as fuck, weak willed because it doesn’t take much to sway me, or get me to do something. And dense cuz social cues are difficult, like how am I supposed to know this person genuinely finds me enjoyable to be around, I call bs

Uh for the mashup I would like it romantic, and long If possible (idk if this is enough, sorry for the mess of info I hope it’s good enough :’3)

TYSM for granting this long time wish✨✨💕

Hello Hello! You sound absolutely wonderful, thank you for the matchup!

Also thank you for your patience because I know you've been sitting in my ask box for quite the while! Here's your lover boy ;D

I match you up with....

TANG ! [US!papyrus]

☁︎‎‎‧ This guy WILL make you shitty crafts about your most recent interest!

☁︎‎‎‧ He LOVES when you cling to him, lets you grab his arm in public, hell depending on who's around he'll let you climb him- he loves it.

☁︎‎‎‧ he's an extroverted introvert because of his brother, so he's chill with socialising and helps create segways that include you in the conversation without that weird awkwardness.

☁︎‎‎‧ However he is also absolutely horrendous when it comes to social cues, so he tends to fall back on his jokes as a backup.

☁︎‎‎‧ Adores how expressive your facial features are, catch this idiot looking at you and just melting - especially if you're mid-ramble.

☁︎‎‎‧ Again because of this brother, He's good at cleaning and organising- So tries to help whenever you let him, he'd never move your things around without asking. He would buy so many folders and binders for you for any art you may create.

☁︎‎‎‧ At first, he'd panic a bit about you being irrational about yourself. He'd have to ask questions to try and help, he's trying.

☁︎‎‎‧ Lastly, He'd not stand for anyone calling you weak-willed, he knows how to set healthy boundaries while also dealing with people who are used to walking all over others. Hopefully you pick up on how to put your foot down, but there's no rush for that, he understands it takes time and a lot of mental effort.

Hi E.!

Can I request a Squid Game matchup, specifically from season 2 and my gender preference for the matchup is male?

I’m a cis heterosexual female, 25 years old, 5’6”, with a slim build, and long and wavy dark hair.

For positive traits, I see myself as intelligent, capable, detail-oriented. I am a planner but am able to learn/adapt and build relationships quickly when facing challenges.

On the flip side, I tend to get too caught up in the details, and can be anxious, quick tempered and self-centered.

Although I appear reserved/quiet when first meeting someone but will reveal a positive and vibrant personality, with a mix of elegance and fun in the way I portray myself.

I’m a relationship/people oriented person who cherishes relationships with my chosen/found family. I value loyalty and my love language is words of affirmation.

I have a keen sense of style and a passion for fashion, movies, pop culture.

In terms of a partner, I gravitate to someone who is sweet, kind and attentive to my needs, and makes me feel taken care of, while also having a fun and playful side to them. I also am attracted to someone who is willing to be emotionally open and vulnerable.

Thank you!

Thank you for your request , hope you have fun reading it and like it <3

I ship you with

✨ Dae-ho ✨

- He was captivated by your intelligence, noticing how you quickly processed information and formed strategies, often relying on you in tricky situations.

- Dae-ho loved the way you could laugh at the absurdity of the world around you, always ready with a sarcastic comment or a witty observation. Your humor was one of the first things that drew him to you.

- Whenever you got flustered or nervous, he’d give you a teasing smile and remind you, “You’re smarter than you think,” easing your worries with his confidence in you.

- He found comfort in your strong sense of loyalty, admiring how deeply you cared about the people in your life. You didn’t just protect those you loved, you gave them your all.

- Dae-ho would regularly joke about how much you both procrastinated, especially on assignments or important tasks, but he secretly liked how you worked together under pressure, always managing to pull through.

- He’d be in awe of your passion for fashion, often asking for advice on how to dress better or complimenting you when you pulled off an outfit that made you feel confident.

- Dae-ho enjoyed sharing late-night music sessions with you, even surprising you by adding your favorite songs to his playlist. He’d say, “It’s our thing now,” with a grin, pleased to see how much you appreciated it.

- He loved how you always encouraged him to step out of his comfort zone, especially when it came to being more emotionally open. You made him feel safe to express himself, something he didn’t often do with others.

- Dae-ho admired your ability to stay calm in stressful situations, but would sometimes purposefully create small challenges just to see you rise to them—he found it exciting to watch you excel under pressure.

- He would proudly introduce you as his “partner in crime,” always planning spontaneous adventures together, whether it was sneaking into a restricted area or simply getting away for some quiet time.

- He often found himself staring at you when you weren’t looking, completely taken by your presence, and would casually say, “I never get tired of looking at you,” in his usual nonchalant way.

- Dae-ho would always step in when others crossed boundaries with you, his protective instincts kicking in immediately. Whether it was a joke or a serious threat, he'd be by your side, ensuring you never felt unsafe.

- He respected how independent you were but loved that you never hesitated to lean on him when things got tough, creating a balanced dynamic where you both gave and received support equally.

- Dae-ho would secretly be thrilled when you included him in your world—whether it was introducing him to your favorite movies, showing him your latest fashion inspiration, or simply sharing your thoughts on pop culture.

- His confession would come during a rare quiet moment when the weight of everything around you seemed too heavy to carry alone. He’d take your hand and simply say, “I don’t know what I’d do without you by my side.”

- Your relationship with Dae-ho would be full of mutual respect, playful teasing, and deep, unspoken understanding. With him, you’d always feel like an equal partner in both the chaos and the calm.

[moriohradiojanitorroom]

Hi, I stumbled across your blog and I'm really excited to try the match-up✨

Sorry if I write anything wrong, this is my first experience

I have always been told I am a very kind, caring and compassionate person. I think this is true, I always try to help people around me. I am also very optimistic and always try to think of the best. I am still a very shy, insecure and irascible person, but my bad moods pass quickly. If this helps you I am pisces and infp

Speaking of hobbies I really love my favorite manga and anime and cooking. Although some of my recipes sound suspicious but the dishes turn out really delicious. I can't imagine my life without music, I listen to it all the time. I think it's a bit funny, but I do know a lot of facts from many different fields

Oh, I'm afraid I've written too much. If something is unclear then please apologize, English is not my native language. Anyway thanks and good luck, looking forward to your reply💐

Hi there!!! Thanks so much for this request, I was really excited to fulfill it! And don’t worry about too much info or anything like that, this is great! This is also my first time writing a matchup so I hope it’s alright dkdnjsmd You didn’t specify an age or any preferences, so I’m gonna give you a canonically adult character & assume you don’t have a preference for other stuff, like gender or what part they’re from - if you’d like to resubmit with that in mind tho, that’s okay!

With all that in mind, here are some honourable mentions:

Noriaki Kakyoin was the first to come to mind when I read your request, but with the age thing in consideration, I decided to choose someone else.

After that, I considered Jonathan Joestar, Erina Pendleton, and Mohammad Avdol! Ultimately, though, I ended up choosing:

Robert E.O. Speedwagon!

Your positivity and kindness hooked the man in faster than he could even blink - we all know exactly how loyal he is and how quickly he can tell who deserves that loyalty. It only took him a few minutes to read that you’re one of those people.

He’s also pretty intrigued by how much you know. He likes to exchange little bits of knowledge and stories with you, especially after he’s done some travelling and has a wider expanse of knowledge. Even before that, though, he always keeps your words in mind - who knows, one day one of those facts might just save a life!

He also very well understands the difficulties of insecurity and hotheadedness, having faced them himself. He does his best to keep you grounded, and encourages you to leave your comfort zone now and then - it’s key to growth, after all - but he knows when to back off. He can be a little stubborn, especially if he’s enthusiastic, but in the end your comfort matters more. If you’d rather stay at home with him than go out and dance or something, that’s fine by him. Hell, with all the travelling he does, he may actually grow to prefer that more relaxed atmosphere.

On that topic, Speedwagon’s pretty good at reading people’s moods and actions. On top of knowing when he needs to let you chill, he also knows if/when he should make somebody else do the same. If he sees something or someone bothering you, he’s quick to swoop in and do whatever he can to settle the situation, whether that’s just to comfort some insecurities or get a particularly annoying person to back off. If he knows that you can handle it, though, he’ll take a backseat and play cheerleader. In fact, it makes him proud to see it.

Also, this man grew up on the most dangerous street in London. He’s no stranger to meals with some odd ingredients, and frankly, he’ll be even happier to learn how good they taste! He’s not the best cook himself, he’s the type of man who uses whatever he has on hand to try scraping together something reasonable, so a good meal will go straight to his heart.

For the sake of anime and manga, I’m gonna go ahead and pretend we’re a little more modern day for the next few. I feel like Speedwagon is more of a reading guy than a television guy. After a long day, he’ll to sit down and read with you, manga or not. He’ll watch a show too if you ask, but there’s something quite romantic about cuddling up and sharing a book that he feels can’t be matched by much else.

On that note, please forgive him ahead of time - if you do get him to sit down and watch your favourite shows, he will have a lot of commentary. He’s the type of guy who will interrupt a scene to enthusiastically declare something like, “So THAT’S why the bugger carries that chain around!”, or confoundedly question what a character thinks they’re doing. He’ll probably do this while reading too, just maybe not as often. He’s not trying to interrupt, he just gets excited - if you tell him to settle down, he’ll do his best to accommodate, but he might slip from time to time.

Also, (and this is another one of those modern day ones) depending on your music taste, he may or may not buy vinyls or discs of your favourite bands and try to get you to dance with him to them. He’ll probably suggest a concert at least once - something tells me that he’s the type to prefer live music.

Knowing that you’re passionate about something makes him passionate, too. He’ll try his best to look into your interests on his own time, and try to involve you in whatever he finds - maybe he asks an older lady he knows for interesting recipes to show you, or he scours a book store for a series he hasn’t heard you talk about yet. He’s doing his best to match your love for these things, even if they’re sometimes new to him.

Your bright outlook on life, your compassion, your love for the things you enjoy - they’re all astoundingly inspirational to this man. He may sometimes worry that you deserve better than an Ogre Street ex-thief, but by god, will he use all the motivation you give him to make a good life for you.

Okay - I think I might have rambled a bit there, but yeah, thank you so much for the request!! It’s the first one I’ve gotten anyways so I hope you’ll forgive all the babbling jehdjjfs

This was a ton of fun to write, and I hope that you’re happy with it!
