Silver and Gold by @splendentgoddess (E)

Christmas Eve is a time to celebrate family, love, and togetherness. Not something Kagome gets a lot of while trying to stop Naraku. But everyone deserves the occasional night off, right? Takes place during manga chapter 512.

Apple Pie and Mistletoe by @ruddcatha (M)

Called out of town unexpectedly for work just before Christmas, Inuyasha Takahashi asks his best friend Kagome, whom he's secretly loved for years, to house sit. When a storm grounds his plane, will the two friends admit their feelings, or continue to stay silent? What role does Apple Pie and Mistletoe play in what is about to unfold?

--

'Tis The Damn Season by @akitokihojo (T)

Best friends, to nothing, to one of them putting every ounce of their effort into avoiding the other. Christmas was supposed to be about visiting her family, but Kagome noticed the snow on the ground wasn't the reason an icy feeling crept down her back. Her childhood best friend, and neighbor, was home for the holidays as well. Turns out, being an adult doesn't help you escape from messy assumptions and the repercussions of being too scared to go after what you really want. For either of them.

--

A Piece of Home by omgitscharlie (E)

At winter's first snowfall, Kagome finds herself reminiscing about Christmas back in her time.

--

Mistletoe: Inuyasha by masterhiccup (K+)

Christmas in a remote cabin? Check. Best friends trying to play matchmaker? Check. Stunning girl that makes your heart go pitter patter despite constant, inward disapproval? Double check. Oh man, Inuyasha was in for one hell of a ride from the very beginning. How was he going to make it through the holidays if he could hardly handle the Hallmark movie he was currently living?

--

Everything But The Pear Tree by @fandomobsessions016 (E)

After going through a rough break-up, Kagome decides she's going to pull herself out of her slump by diving head first into holiday preparations. With her friend Sango and the help of her new neighbor, Inuyasha, Kagome is reminded why the holidays are so special to her.

--

The Best Present by @fawn-eyed-girl (T)

Inuyasha helps Kagome bring a Christmas tree home to the Higurashi shrine. Kagome tells Inuyasha about the traditions of Christmas Eve, and he gives her a special gift.

--

Slipped by @witchygirl99 (E)

“I was worried it’d be more of a sex thing.” A sex thing. Inuyasha makes a face at the ceiling. God, why does Miroku say shit like that? “Yeah, well,” he grouses, grabbing at his cell phone so that he can look his friend in the eye. “Give me some fucking credit. I’m trying not to fall in love with her.”

Miroku looks, in that moment, far too smug. “And how’s that going for you?”

“Fuck you,” comes his automatic response, a knee-jerk reaction. Begrudgingly, unhappily, Inuyasha sighs his next admission. “Not great.” Inuyasha has a life plan that is viciously, cheerfully and quickly dismantled the moment he becomes temporary roommates with one Kagome Higurashi. Unsurprisingly, this is all Miroku's fault.

--

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by FrameOfMind (T)

AU. God, how he hated Christmas carols. Now, if someone would only think to write one about the overcrowded shopping malls and the sticky pine needles and the damn Salvation Army, that would be the Christmas carol for him...

--

Secret Santa (series) by @splendentgoddess (E)

In a modern world where most youkai stick to the wilds, hanyou are stuck in the middle, forced to live in human society. Inuyasha has an okay job and okay coworkers, but he's lonely, until one year when the office Christmas party changes everything.

--

If You Dare by @fawn-eyed-girl (E)

Inuyasha hates Christmas, and looks forward to spending it alone. Kagome loves Christmas, and is devastated that she has to spend it alone. She decides to leave a notebook in the stacks at a bookstore, in hopes of making a special connection. When Inuyasha finds it, does he dare take her challenge? And will she dare to accept his Commissioned Artwork by Clearwillow

--

Skeins and Schemes by @cannibalsforbreakfast (G)

Inuyasha didn’t understand why she was insisting she needed to go back to her time, because this time last year Kagome had said her school was on “ho-li-day” and that there were no classes. She’d tried to put Inuyasha off with excuses — she had a makeup exam, her school had changed its schedule — but she could tell he didn’t believe her. Because how could she tell Inuyasha that she needed to go back to her time to make him a Christmas present?

--

No Matter The Storm by @lavendertwilight89 (T)

Kagome gets taken and Inuyasha comes to save her but the can't outrun the winter storm. Trapped in a cave, what could happen?

--

Ego & Bias by hoshi-ni-onegai (T)

Sometimes, first impressions are everything and Inuyasha wasn't winning any contests. While attending a holiday party, Kagome runs into a guy who grates her nerves like no one has before. AU.

--

Christmas Traditions by @ideasthatbuildcities (G)

It's Christmas time and Kagome is eager to start sharing with her daughter the Christmas traditions she used to do with her mother. She only hopes Moroha would like to be as involved as Kagome wants her to be. Inuyasha is helping in his own way. [InuKag Family Christmas fluff for ruddcatha for the 2020 Inuyasha Fandom Secret Santa on Tumblr]

Mistletoe Tales by Reinamy (T)

The holidays are a time for miracles, even of the romance-variety. A love story told in bits-and-pieces.

Unlovable ~{Bakugo}~

word count: 1571

———

Sometimes I just feel so worthless. No amount of text messages and hugs can make it stop either. I know that people love me, but I just… I feel so…

Unlovable?

Yeah. Unlovable.

—

Sinking. Suffocating. Scratching at your skin, uncomfortable with the way it fits around your fragile bones. Loud. Echoing. The room is silent but you can hear the voices of everyone around you telling you how you are not good enough. Taunting. Tearing. You can’t keep your fingers from ripping gashes into your chest, your heart desperately pounding against the burning skin. Heat. Flames. You can’t breathe. There is smoke in your lungs. Your body cries out for help, screaming as loud as it can into your mind but it’s drowned out by the invisible voices. You  just.. You want it to just-

“Stop,” you whimpered, curling yourself into a tight ball on your bed. Vines began to sprout around you, slowly making their way up the walls. A trail of quiet pleas left your lips as you struggled to keep your quirk under control. You didn’t want anyone to see you like this, you didn’t want anyone to know what you were doing. You didn’t want to be a burden to your friends. But you couldn’t help it. The more you thought about the vines spreading, the faster they grew.

You tucked tighter to yourself, tears pouring from your eyes, “Please,” you sobbed, “Please stop…”

“Y/N?” a voice sounded from behind the door. You couldn’t make out the voice, but something about it was very familiar.

“Please go away,” you whispered, “I’m fine just please go away.”

You heard a soft scoff before the door was nudged open. They struggled with the vines for a moment, but eventually they were able to fight their way in. You didn’t look up. No one could see you like this. There was just silence for a moment before they spoke once more, “If you were fine, you wouldn’t have vines growing outside your bedroom. And you wouldn’t be lying like that. So stop being a child and speak up.”

Bakugo. Of course it was Bakugo.

“Bakugo,” you said sternly, “Get out of my room.”

“Not until you tell me what’s going on with you,” he said stubbornly, closing the door behind him. He reached for the light switch cautiously, switching it on to see you. He was speechless. This wasn’t who you were. He had never seen you cry. Hell, he’s never seen you frown.

“It’s none of your business, please just leave me alone.”

“Fine,” he grumbled before turning and leaving your room, “I’ll deal with the vines later. Just… you know.”

You sighed in relief as the door shut behind him. You were alone again.

Ten minutes later there was a knock on your door. You decided to not answer it, assuming it was someone else coming to complain about the vines. You wish you had the strength to get up and get rid of them, but you were terrified to leave the bed. When you didn’t answer, the person knocking just opened the door.

“If I don’t answer, it means go away.” you grumbled, laying with your back to the person.

“Yeah I don’t take orders from you,” Bakugo said. You turned around to the boy, ready to yell at him for coming back after you told him to leave. However, when you saw him, you were speechless.

“What’s all that?” you asked curiously.

“I-” Bakugo’s face reddened slightly, “My dad got me this blanket after the whole “being kidnapped by the league of villain” thing. He called it a safety blanket. It helped me with my nightmares. I thought that maybe you’d like to use it?”

“Bakugo, are you being nice to me right now?” you gave a small smile at the boy, truly warmed by his offer.

“Shut up,” he huffed, walking over to you and laying the blanket across your body. Instant comfort washed over you. You weren’t sure if it was from the soft fabric of the blanket or from the wave of Bakugo’s scent that came off of it. Bakugo watched the way your eyes shut slowly, how your lips turned up ever so slightly. He couldn’t help but think of how adorable you looked in that moment.

“Thanks Bakugo,” you spoke softly, your bright e/c eyes opening slowly, making direct eye contact with the boy who stood over you, an adoring smile placed across his lips. You felt your heart stammer harder for a moment. Both of you froze in time, enchanted with one another. For a single moment, which went on in your minds for an eternity, neither of you could even breathe. But of course, this isn’t some Hallmark movie and Bakugo isn’t some charming prince. He’s… well he’s Bakugo.

“I also brought you ice cream.”

Bakugo was better than a prince.

Your eyes grew wide, a tiny quiver shaking your lip. His eyes widened in panic at your expression, not sure if your reaction was a good thing or not. You felt so pathetic in this moment, as tears began to trickle out of your eyes. You couldn’t find the strength to compose yourself any longer. It was just that the world felt like it was crumbling underneath you and finally, at the last millisecond, right before the ground finally gave in and swallowed you whole… Bakugo was there, holding a little bowl of chocolate chip ice cream with sprinkles and a Hello Kitty spoon. And he pulls you from that ledge.

“Oi, what the fuck extra?” Bakugo snarls as your crying morphs into manic laughter, “What the fuck is wrong with you?”

You forced yourself to calm down, trying yourself to calm yourself so you can explain to the angered boy, “I’m sorry. I was just so sad before and then you, you of all people, come to my rescue. I honestly never would’ve thought it.”

Bakugo stiffened, ready to defend himself but you stop him, “and I’m so glad that it was you and nobody else. Because it means you really do care about me…”

“Tsk stop making yourself sound so special,” Bakugo huffed, handing you the bowl of ice cream. You happily sat up and took it from his hands.

“Can you sit with me until the vines die down?” you asked shyly, picking at the ice cream.

Bakugo didn’t know what that meant, but he wasn’t ready to give up an offer to sit with you. So he just walked up to your bed, “Scoot.”

You moved over, adjusting the bed so he could sit with you. He sat criss-crossed in your bed leaned forward facing you, his face resting in the palm of his hand as he propped himself up on his knee. He looked absolutely adorable.

“Ice cream?” you asked dumbly, holding the ice cream towards him. He raised his eyebrows, glancing down at the bowl.

“I am not using a Hello Kitty spoon,” he says, a slight chuckle in his tone. You marveled at the sound. If you were standing, you would’ve stumbled.

“I’ll make you one, hold this,” you laughed, pushing the bowl into his free hand. He sat up straighter, ready to watch you use your quirk. He hadn’t really seen you use it all that much.

You closed your eyes, hovering your hand over some of the decaying vine beside you. As you began to will the vine to morph, neon runes began to light up on your skin. Slowly the vines broke apart from their place and began to spin in the air, morphing itself into a spoon. You opened your eyes as the utensil dropped into your hand.

“Here you go,” you smiled, handing it over to him. Bakugo took it with a small smile, inspecting it curiously. Then, with a little shrug, he leaned over and scooped into the ice cream. He grabbed a big portion, and you weren’t sure if it would fit into his mouth. You were right, but not by much. A small bit fell onto the side of his lip, taking all of your attention. Without thinking, you leaned forward and cupped his cheek, using your thumb to brush away the mess from his lip. He sucked in a breath at your touch, his hand instinctively going to grab it. You looked up to see him staring you in the eyes with a sudden fierceness. You paused, your eyes drifting down to his lips for just a brief second. But that brief second was all Bakugo needed to reach forward and cup your face, bringing his lips onto yours.

You kissed him back instantly, your eyes shutting in an attempt to soak in the entire moment. When the moment finally ended, the butterflies flew throughout your entire body. You felt like Denki after he short circuits. Your body was in tingles, every last hair on edge.

“You taste like chocolate,” you hummed, your thumb rubbing against his cheek once more. He tsked, rolling his eyes.

“Is that really all you have to say?”

You raise the Hello Kitty spoon to your lips with a small smile, shrugging your lips, “Want another bite?”

“Yes I do,” he growled, yanking the bowl from your hands and tossing it to the floor. You let out a playful shriek as he yanked you down, towering over you, “Just not of the ice cream.”

okay but imagine when keith and lance first started dating together keith found out lance made a h u g e deal out of christmas and keith felt awkward and out of place after so many foster homes. i feel like they would have do many cute moments.

i tried writing a lil smth in bio class !! please please do nir judge i havent written anything like fanfic in like over three years but i just wanted a cute small short of klance dancing tona christmas song. this is so embarrassing idfk why im posting tjis omh

The soft smell of cooking gingerbread cookies blended with the smooth jazz floating over the small apartment, that keith happened to be standing in. Unbeknownst to him until December 1st, and Lance adored christmas and anything to do with the holidays. And when asked why it had nothing to do with religion and "everything to do with a magical excuse to bake cookies and give gifts". So, Keith felt like he was in a hallmark movie. Like, one of those ones you see once a year and when the credits roll you turn to the person next to you and complain how cheesy it was as you walk out of the theater. Ya, one if those. Because here Keith was, watching the man he loves, where a apron covered in gingerbread men swaying his hips to old christmas songs. That was until the song switched to "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole. He watched as Lance put down the bowl of half cleaned utensils into the sink, and turned to Keith. And as completely idiotic as he felt, he couldn't deny how full this sight made his heart. Tan skin covered in freckles and moles, wonderful brunette hair that had flour covering it because 10 minutes ago Keith started a food fight, and wonderfully long legs that connect to slim hips. Before Keith knew it, Lance grabbed his hips and pulled him forward to the center of the (very small and cramped) kitchen. (Obviously) very flustered, Keith muttered out a "What do you think you're doing", ears going red as he felt lance start to sway to the music. And as the violins lifted into the air, followed by a wonderful deep voice, he heard a gentle "lets dance,". And all embarrassment and teasing melted from Keith's mouth. Wrapping his arms around Lances neck, he started matching his movements. Slow but steady steps with hips moving right and left. He let his arms fall, now underneath Lances arms, and resting his head against Lances (very broad) chest. And even though the songs sweet jazzy sound wafted over them along with the (probably janky asf) cookies in the oven, all Keith could focus on was Lances heart beat. A steady beat that Keith couldn't help but find extremely comforting. And as the music swelled, Lance (quite literally) swept him off his feet, making Keith dip a little too far back but he clung onto lances smooth back. He finally look at Lances eyes. His soft lashes, and perfectly done eyebrows, with a little bit of flour smeared onto his cheek. And then he leaned in. And Keith couldn't help but let his eyes fall shut and put all his trust in Lance to keep him up. Warm, chapped lips pressed against his in the most gentle kiss he's ever experienced. One filled with adoration, and so much genuine love it almost caught him off guard. But as Lance pulled back he could see a dorky smile spread across his face as he let out a wonderful hearty laugh. "Ya know shorty, I always wanted to do that with someone". And Keiths mouth dropped open, as he quickly shot back, "So you just had to find a way to ruin a sweet moment". "Oh so you think that was a sweet moment?" Lance shot back, looking over his shoulder with a look in his eyes like he won. Maybe hallmark movies weren't that bad.

White Christmas ~ JJ Maybank

Blurb: You attempt to convince your boyfriend JJ to watch your favorite Christmas movie and manage to succeed.

Word Count: 1,151 (Give some because I added a few words while reformatting this on here)

Warnings: swearing, sexual content (all talk no action), tiny spoilers if you’ve never seen White Christmas, poorly edited (what else is new), and I think that’s it.

I’m kind of in love with the movie White Christmas and I kept on thinking about what if Rafe or JJ watched it with their significant other because they’re like big boys ya know fighting and shit, and because I’m a whore for Rafe/Drew now and barely post anything for JJ anymore, I made it for JJ cause I kinda got out of my JJ phase and feel bad for any JJ lovers.

~~~~~

"JJ, please." You begged, tugging on his arm.

You’ve been trying to convince JJ for almost three hours now to watch White Christmas with you and he still wasn’t budging on his answer of no.

"I’m not watching some sappy ass movie, let alone a sappy ass Christmas movie. What is this? The Hallmark channel?" He retorted, barely budging as you tugged at him.

"It’s not sappy. My dad loves it and you know my dad hates sappy love shit." You argued.

You saw him glance at you and took the opportunity to pout your lips and rest your head on his shoulder, staring up at him with your Y/E/C eyes.

"I’m not falling for it, Y/L/N. Pout all you want but there are better things to be doing than watching sappy shit."

"Like what?"

JJ looked down at you, smirking. "Well, you are one of the better things to do besides watch sappy shit."

You rolled your eyes, disappointed in yourself for not having expected that answer.

"Okay, you horny bastard. How about we watch White Christmas and if you hate it, absolutely despise it, I'll do whatever the hell you want. But if you like it, If I see you chuckle or smile or tear up or anything that isn’t a sign of hating the movie, you have to do whatever I want. Deal?" You stared at him.

"Oh, you’ve got yourself a deal. You better be ready to give me a blowjob as soon as credits start rolling." JJ told you, throwing an arm around your shoulders as you pulled up the movie on Netflix and relaxed against your boyfriend’s chest.

"You know, there’s a 50% chance of me winning so you better say a prayer that I don’t get fidgety during the movie or you'll be hard only to realize that, when the credits start rolling, I have no intention to help you out." You smirked at him as the movie began.

As soon as the singing started you heard JJ groan as he threw his head back." You didn’t tell me there’d be singing."

You rolled your eyes. "So dramatic."

**** 

"Oh wow. He really holds onto the whole ‘I saved your life’ thing huh?" JJ commented as Phil mentioned his act of saving Bob yet again.

You nodded. "Reminds me of someone." You muttered, sneaking a glance at your boyfriend.

JJ shot you a look and you smiled sweetly, batting your eyelashes in innocence. He rolled his eyes before jabbing his fingers into your side, causing you to jump. You smacked his chest in retaliation before pointing to the TV.

"Watch or you'll miss important things."

"We’re like 10 minutes in. How important can it get."

You shushed him as you rammed your elbow into his sides.

"Jesus. Alright, alright."

*****

"Are they about to do what I think they’re about to do?" JJ asked, jaw-dropping slightly.

You smiled before shushing him. "My favorite part is coming up."

You heard JJ breathe out a laugh as Davis and Wallace cane out with the feather fans, beginning to lip-sync to the Haynes Sister song that the sisters themselves performed minutes prior. You smiled, looking at JJ who seemed amused throughout the whole bit.

"You’re enjoying it and we’re almost half an hour in." You sang.

"Shut up and don’t breathe a word of this to anyone." You laughed lightly at his words before he spoke again. "I wanna see you in the dresses they wore though.” He added with a low whistle.

"You might have to be a bit more specific on that, baby." You told him.

"No, I don’t cause I bet each dress would look fucking phenomenal on you." He whispered into your ear.

You blushed. "You’re just saying that so I’ll let you get laid tonight."

He shook his head. "The pink, the blue. You could pull that shit off effortlessly."

You blushed even harder and hid your face in the blanket as JJ smirked, pulling you closer.

"Phil was into it."

You nodded as you smiled. "I’d pay a thousand bucks to see you and Pope recreate that scene."

"Really?" JJ shot you a glance.

"Maybe not a thousand bucks but Pope might get a hundred." You shrugged.

"What about me?" JJ asked, offended that his best friend would get money and he wouldn’t.

"JJ, you're my boyfriend. You’d get paid in a different way," you smirked.

JJ stood up, causing you to fall against the bed since you were leaning against him, and grabbed his phone. "Pause the movie. I’ll be back later."

You did as he said before shouting after him. "Where are you going?!"

"I gotta call Pope and tell him to meet me at The Wreck so I can discuss something! Love you, baby!"

"Oh no! Get your ass back here! Your little boyfriend can wait! We're finishing this first!" You threw the blanket off of your body.

You ran down the hall and practically fell down the stairs as you ran down them to catch up with JJ. You grabbed his arm and leaned back, trying to pull him back. He kept heading towards the door, your socks sliding across the floor.

"Please JJ!" You pleaded.

"But you said-"

"I know what I said but it can wait. We have to finish the movie. Besides, it'll probably take 2 hours for you to learn it anyway. Please." You stuck out your bottom lip, letting it quiver a bit.

JJ groaned and rolled his eyes, letting you tug him back upstairs and back into your bed, covering you two back up with your blankets.

You snuggled back into his chest, a content smile on your face as you grabbed the remote and resumed the movie.

"The things I do for love." JJ sighed, beginning to pet your hair.

"No. The things you do for sex." You corrected him.

"The things I do for both." JJ grinned, pressing a kiss to your head.

******

You were towards the end of the moving, the scene where all the men from the 151st division are singing for the general and you looked up, seeing a tear in JJs eyes.

"Don't tell JB. He'll never let me live it down." He told you, not even paying you a glance.

"I won't baby. Don't you worry." You cooed, pinching his cheeks which only caused him to smack your hand away. "I like it when you're all soft, J. You're so adorable when you're all mushy and lovey."

JJ rolled his eyes before shushing you. "You'll make me miss the rest of this."

You grinned as you rested your head on his shoulder, smiling at the boy next to you. In your mind, this was the perfect way to spend Christmas Eve.

And as much as JJ didn't want to admit it, he was happy you forced him to watch one of your favorite movies because the smile on your face was the best present he could ever receive.

Ooh can you please do headcanons for spending the holiday season with Tony?

Yes! Some good fluffy sweetness!

While some parts of the holidays is done by Tony's staff, like decorations of the tower and the shopping for galas and various holiday gatherings, for his house and for the Avengers' shared space, Tony liked being involved with decorations and some specific holiday traditions.

At the Tower, Tony, Shuri, and you coordinated decorations. The main room will have everyone's stockings. Everyone's. And no matter how hard Tony tried to take away Eddie's and/or Venom's stockings, you always put them back.

"They're never here! And they always raid the fridge!"

"They are Peter's friends and a good hero when they mean to be!"

"I'm not telling you where I hid it."

"Ok." You crossed your arms. "Hey, Jay? Where's the missing stocking?"

"Mr. Stark has stored it in the freezer, beneath the frozen peas."

"Traitor!"

With the Avengers, several playlists have been made with different moods, artists, occassions. So, every baking session, wrapping session, charity auction had a musical ambience arranged by Tony himself.

There was a tradition started by Bruce for gingerbread houses. He thought it would be fun!

Bruce forgot that Avengers building gingerbread houses might be more complicated and, uh, competitive than usual

For example, Steve is an artist. He will create intricate gingerbread designs and find new ways to use frosting to elevated the edible structure.

Clint likes sabotaging other people's structures.

Hope's and Scott's team always supersize their house so you could actually go inside it.

Shuri and her brother have Wakandan technology so when their team is resting, mini gingerbread robots are building their own damn gingerbread city.

Your boyfriend made mini fireworks for his house. He also may have made a mini iron family to live in said gingerbread house.

... safe to say, its not really a regular winning but rather whose house is still standing and the most exciting.

Tony loves the classic holiday moments. This includes lounging by a roaring fireplace with hot coco, stories, maybe a movie, and some presents.

He loves bringing the robots up to enjoy the fun. Dum-E and U even have their own mugs! Tony bought them in bulk. ... they tend to break them.

If families were invited, Tony loved coordinating with old friends of his friends to get embarrassing holiday footage from past years.

Seeing Loki summon a projection of a baby Thor as he ran around in a blue blanket pretending to be a valkyrie was very amusing.

You may have dug through old files to find videos of tiny Tony building little robots and Mr. Jarvis.

"Where- Turn it off. Jarvis!"

"No!" You laughed.

Peter was giggling. "Mr. Stark, is that Dum-E's first prototype?"

The said robot beeped and nodded.

While your personal home with Tony wasn't the hotspot for holiday parties, the two of you still decorate it in a minimalist style. Big things, but only a few big things.

The tree was adorned with a variety of ornaments, half of them being Avengers themed. Some where your childhood ornaments or Tony's. Then, there were Peggy Carter's ornaments (She made them for Tony since he was a kid for as long as she could)

Stockings included: Tony, You, Dum-E, U, Vision, Peter, and May.

At one point, Tony wanted a giant snowglobe in the living room by the tree.

"It'll be of a winter forest, so it's like we have a forest in the living room."

"It does sound beautiful."

"See!"

"But, then we give Clint more hiding space when he comes over. With his mini hawks."

"They wouldn't hide in a snowglobe!" It took him a second. "I'll cancel the order then."

"Yeah, you should."

Instead, Tony and you designed ladders and shelves on the wall to either display sentimental items and trinkets or to use for seating when superheroes are over.

Its always fun and games until Peter tries to sit on top of a closet or Thor decides that he wants to fly inside the house. So, seating attached to wall was actually a good idea

And of course, there will be nights with just you and Tony. Snuggled under a blanket to a shitty Hallmark movie, an indulgent dinner or two on the rooftop, a night to fly above the city lights and snack on junk food as you talked on top of the tallest building.

At the end of the day, holidays with Tony Stark are the best. You couldn't ask for anything better.

The Story of O - Texas Monthly, June 2003

By John Spong “Mooooonshine,” said Owen Wilson, sounding typically awed and random. “Isn’t it too bad that something with such a great name has to be illegal? ‘Moonshine.’ It’s beautiful. I’ve never even had any, but I’ve always wanted to try it. How could you not? It’s called ‘moonshine.’” The Oscar-nominated screenwriter and big-popcorn movie star was driving down Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, and the talk in the car was going a lot like it does in his films. Whether his lines are ones that he works on for months or just thinks up that morning on the set, they zig and zag softly around topics that appear to have no ready connection other than the fact that they popped into his head and right out his mouth. Following Owen through a conversation is like replaying the last five thoughts that entered your own mind, only he does it out loud.

The discussion had started with, of all things, a quote from Samuel Beckett. From there he moved through his dad, Ireland, God, Planet of the Apes, and moonshine. Owen was on a roll. He bounced to hard drugs to Axl Rose to James Garner to James Brown, then he lightly touched down with a bittersweet anecdote about perception and love that he’d lifted from another master of letters. The punch line to his rambling? Owen had never actually read the anecdote or anything by its author. But he sure did think it was cool.

And that was it: the perfect opening scene for a magazine profile of Owen Wilson. Here was Owen behind the wheel, floating in innocent oblivion, throwing out observations that would sound sarcastic coming from anyone else, looking a whole lot like Owen on-screen. Whether he’s supremely blond male model Hansel in Zoolander or the obnoxious young western novelist Eli Cash in The Royal Tenenbaums, his characters seem wholly unaware that the rest of the world runs at a different pace and in a different direction, and Owen plays them so naturally that it’s hard not to assume that he’s just being himself. This was the proof. Owen is as Owen does.

But a problem arose. When we talked on the phone a week later, he said that the bittersweet anecdote, the best part of our conversation, couldn’t show up in the article. Not even the author’s name. He said it was a key point in a script he’d been reading and that to use it would ruin the film. “So if you wouldn’t mind,” he said, as polite as you please, “I think we have to leave that out.” A couple of days later I e-mailed him to gauge his resolve. He wouldn’t budge. “I can’t say any stronger how off-limits that thing is,” he wrote. “But call me if you want to come up with something else. We’re both funny guys. Shouldn’t be too hard.”

Come up with something else? It didn’t exactly bear the hallmark of great literary journalism, but it was a curious notion, and not just because he was calling me funny. Owen Wilson was offering to co-author a scene for this story. I e-mailed him back saying I would give it a go. With Owen on board, it might not be hard at all.

At a time when there are enough successful big-screen families to justify a separate map to sibling star’s homes-Baldwins, Culkins, Gyllenhaals, and so on-the moviemaking Wilson brothers, Owen, 34, Luke, 31, and Andrew, 38, are the most fun to watch, in large part because they’re so often found together. Owen has created roles for Andrew and Luke in all three of the movies-Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums—that he’s penned with his best friend and collaborator, Wes Anderson. Luke still lives in Owen’s house in a quiet neighborhood in Santa Monica, even though he bought a house of his own more than a year ago. And not long after you read this, they should all be in Austin shooting The Wendell Baker Story, a film written by Luke, who will co-star with Owen and co-direct with Andrew.

But even though each of the brothers has a movie of his own coming out later this year, Owen is the Wilson to watch right now. In addition to his screenwriting success, he’s become Hollywood’s leading buddy, a strange hybrid of straight man and goofy sidekick to the likes of Jackie Chan, Eddie Murphy, and Ben Stiller. He’s got a string of upcoming movie projects that will keep him working for the next few years. And last March, when the three Wilsons sat with their parents at the Texas Film Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Austin, it was Owen who was the recipient of the rising-star award. Neither of his brothers seems jealous. “I thought my picture was going to be in an insert on the cover of Texas Monthly,” joked Luke when I called him in mid-April to talk about his older brother. “But I guess I understand. I want to get to the bottom of that guy as much as you do.”

Start at a household with no television. When their dad, Bob Wilson, took over as manager of the Dallas PBS affiliate in 1969, a year after Owen was born, he and his wife, Laura (a renowned photographer who took the pictures on these pages and the cover), decided the Wilsons would be television-free. “I really loved TV as a kid,” said Owen, “but we’d have to go over to a friend’s house to watch it. We’d watch the afternoon movie on Channel 11, where we’d see Planet of the Apes Week one week and Clint Eastwood Week the next.”

Despite the differences in their ages, the Wilson kids spent the time they might have been parked in front of the television actually engaging one another, playing sports, hanging out with the same friends, and making their own entertainment. “They did short plays as the Farquar Players,” remembered Bob (the name coming from the street they lived on in Dallas). “I was generally the brunt of the action. They’d set up three stools, and one of the boys would play me driving the other two out to East Texas or somewhere, trying to whack the two in the back seat. It was nice to have them act it out rather than rebel.”

Owen did manage to find his fair share of trouble. Never a student of academic distinction, he was expelled from the exclusive Dallas boys’ school St. Mark’s during his sophomore year when he and some friends got ahold of the answers to a geometry exam. According to Owen, a C to D student, he wouldn’t have been caught if he hadn’t started answering the extra credit questions correctly. But that’s not why he got the boot. “They wanted the name of a guy who cheated along with me,” he said, “but I talked to my dad about it, and we didn’t feel that was right. There’s kind of a shabby nobility in that.” Owen finished high school at the New Mexico Military Institute, in Roswell, a spot of his own choosing, surprisingly enough. He considers it a good move. At NMMI, he concentrated on his passion for writing, edited the school’s literary magazine, and more importantly, met the kid who would introduce him to Wes Anderson.

Owen’s fabled first encounter with Wes took place in a University of Texas playwriting class in 1990, Owen’s junior year. “Wes walked in wearing L.L. Bean duck boots and short pants,” Owen has said, “which I thought was kind of obnoxious.” But it wasn’t until that summer, when Owen’s NMMI friend introduced them, that they started to talk. They discovered a shared love of movies, which made Wes the perfect stand-in for the other Wislon boys, who for one of the few times in Owen’s life, weren’t in the same town. By the next semester, the two were sharing a house just west of campus.

“UT had a great movie thing,” said Owen, “showing them every night in Hogg Auditorium or that Texas Union place, and we’d walk over and there’d never be anybody there. Wes actually worked up in the projection booth for a little bit.” Wes was fascinated by the technical aspects of filmmaking, which never held Owen’s attention, and soon they were creating short films to air on Austin’s public access channel. “I was a big movie fan,” said Owen, “but I didn’t see how you could really work in movies. That seemed sort of impossible. The subject I was okay at was English, so I could see trying to write short stories or maybe even books. The most practical thing seemed to be in advertising, writing copy.”

In 1991 Owen left UT a couple classes shy of his English degree-he says he needed a break-and moved into a small apartment with his brothers on Throckmorton Street in Dallas. Soon Wes moved in, and he and Owen continued work on Bottle Rocket, a screenplay they’d started in Austin about a group of young guys with a hopelessly unrealistic dream to rob banks. They showed some film they’d shot to Texas filmmaker L.M. Kit Carson, an acquaintance of Bob Wilson’s, and with his encouragement, and about $7,000 he was able to round up, produced what Owen describes now as a “thirteen-minute, black and white, guerilla-style” short. They took it to the 1993 Sundance Film Festival, where it became the movie to see, even though it wasn’t in the festival competition. Then James L. Brooks, a true Hollywood don who created The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Taxi and developed The Simpsons, saw the short and was sufficiently impressed to secure a feature-film deal with Sony Entertainment allowing Wes to direct and the Wilsons to star.

Bottle Rocket, shot in Dallas, was finished in 1994. At first look it is a strange film, a caper flick with characters who spend their time talking about their life of crime rather than getting on with it; they don’t even seem clear on what a life of crime is. In the movie’s final scene, the group’s ringleader, Dignan, played by a handcuffed Owen, gives his comrades a no-worries smile and two-handed wave from inside a prison yard, as if the fact that he got caught means he’s finally arrived. Test audiences didn’t make it that far into the movie; they left in droves, and early. When it was released, reviews were mixed, and it died at the box office. Owen started talking about getting into advertising or the military.

But the passage of time was kind. When Bottle Rocket was released on video, it developed a strong cult following. It became a favorite movie for high school and college guys to get together and watch with a case of beer, just as Night Shift and Spinal Tap had been when the Wilsons were growing up. Hollywood took note and gave Owen and Wes a second chance. Their 1998 follow-up, the flawless prep-school daydream Rushmore, made even fewer concessions to the audience than Bottle Rocket but received universal critical praise and established Wes as a director. In the meantime, Owen began making a name for himself as an actor, finding ways to steal entire films with small parts. Some of the roles were in movies begging to be stolen, like 1997’s J-Lo meets Ice-Cube meets-great-big-snake debacle, Anaconda, and 1998’s Bruce-Willis-meets-asteroid-so-asteroid-doesn’t-meet-earth schlockbuster, Armageddon, but others were films expected to stand on their own, like Jim Carrey’s The Cable Guy, in 1996, and Ben Stiller’s Meet the Parents four years later.

By 2001, when he was handpicked by Gene Hackman to be rescued from Kosovo in the military action film Behind Enemy Lines, Owen was at the top of the marquee. At Christmas of that year, Owen and Wes’ Salinger-like family soap opera, The Royal Tenenbaums, came out, and critics who had dismissed Owen’s hilarious but light sidekick turns in Shanghai Noon and Zoolander had to pay their respects when the Tenenbaums script received an Academy Award nomination. Now, he has put his writing on hold while he picks his roles as he pleases, like last year’s I Spy, with Eddie Murphy, and this year’s Shanghai follow-up, with Jackie Chan. John Moore, who directed Wilson in Behind Enemy Lines, summed up Owen’s progress: “He can get movies made. I’ve been in meetings and heard people say, ‘Well, if we get Owen, we’re set.’ And they’ll pay him ten million dollars for it. That’s the judge of it these days.”

Owen measures things differently. For him, the critical reexamination that accompanied Bottle Rocket’s cult popularity-Martin Scorcese, among others, called it one of the ten best movies of the nineties-is all the achievement he needs: “It’s always gratifying when people come up and recognize me from a movie, but the one that means the most is Bottle Rocket. It was the first one, it’s me and my brothers, my friend Wes directed it, and we wrote it together.”

A week after visiting Owen in Los Angeles, he and I began exchanging e-mails, trying to come up with this article’s opening scene. It wasn’t so easy after all. He’d just started filming Starsky and Hutch with Ben Stiller and had plenty of other things to think about, like starring in an $80 million movie. I was in my office, sifting through photocopies of literary criticism. We agreed to begin with his thoughts on moonshine, but to get to the punch line, we had to find another writer and anecdote. Owen was full of ideas. “What about Finnegans Wake?” he wrote from his trailer on the set. “We talked about that. We had a long conversation about how much we liked Joyce or really just the idea of Joyce, since I haven’t read that either.”

This view of Owen at work was more than I’d hoped for. If there is any real mystery to Owen, it’s in the way he writes with Wes. Brooks, who followed the two through Bottle Rocket, couldn’t explain it, nor could Owen’s brothers, nor even Bob Wilson, who has turned rooms in his office and home over to the two when they are working on scripts. Conventional wisdom puts Wes at a keyboard, getting down the details and much of the story, with Owen on the other side of the room, feet up on a table, throwing out lines. But Owen was vague when the subject came up. “We both kind of respond to certain characters and try to spin a story around a character or relationship,” he said. “And, yeah, I don’t know how to type, so Wes is at the keyboard.”

Our e-mails were turning into that kind of collaboration, except that the characters were us, and I’m not Wes Anderson. I’d spent half an hour typing out a laundry list of suggestions, and as soon as it was gone, I’d get a one-line response from Owen, who was watching out for the bigger picture and the punch lines. “Explain what we get with that other story,” he wrote, righting our course. “I like the idea of talking excitedly about a book for a long time, and at the end we realize that both of us haven’t read it.” When we stalled, he’d throw out encouragement: “Let’s take this as a challenge. I, for one, think we can come up with something great. But you know me, I’m a bluesky artist.”

“’Bluesky’?” I replied.

“It’s blue sky,’”wrote Owen, “like Pollyanna. I think I left out a space.”

Finally, on Good Friday I e-mailed him a rough draft of a new opening scene. He mulled it over for a couple of days and on Easter Sunday sent his revisions. They were pure Owen, random musings you could imagine from almost any of his characters, and significantly funnier than his comments in the car. “I like this stuff,” he said when he called to read through it. “I kind of want to save some of it for a movie.” But he said to leave it in. Our new scene was complete.

The story of O, is not, contrary to a recent Details cover line, the story of a nose. Owen’s appeal has less to do with his oft-broken snoot (at least two times, confirmed) than with a demographic, specifically guys between the ages of twenty and forty. Carson claims that Owen has “given a voice to his generation,” an exaggerated characterization if you’re looking to Owen’s oeuvre for a grand statement. But it’s dead-on when you consider that much of what he says sounds like it could come from any guy near his age. Owen is like a buddy from college, a guy’s guy, someone it was more fun to stand by the keg and comment on the party with than to actually join in. Although Owen now dates rock stars-a highly publicized romance with Sheryl Crow ended last year-he’s never lost that familiar quality. When guys see Jackie Chan try to coax Owen into some ridiculous Crouching Tiger acrobatics in Shanghai Knights and Owen throws up his hands and says, “What in our history makes you think I’m capable of something like that?” he might as well be sitting in the theater next to them.

At a café in front of Fred Segal’s high-toned shopping center in Santa Monica, Owen though out loud about how he’s become everybody’s buddy. “Maybe it’s from growing up with my dad, who can be real funny but who can also be kind of moody, up and down. So I became good at getting along with tricky personalities. And growing up in Texas, it was important that we be polite. When I meet these guys like Eddie Murphy, Bruce Willis, and Jackie Chan, I’m always super respectful. Then I get to know them, and then I can start to kid around with them.” It’s an exercise he enjoys. Working with Murphy on I Spy fulfilled a childhood dream-if not box-office hopes-and he’s become close friends off-screen with Chan and Stiller.

What’s harder for Owen to understand is the way critics describe him, favoring words like “oddball,” “slacker”, and “quirky.” “I guess ‘quirky’ is a euphemism for something most people, like, aren’t going to like,” said Owen between bites from a bowl of turkey chili. But when I asked him about a New York Times review that called him a “stoner’s version of James Garner,” his answer didn’t quite counter the charge. “That’s great because I loved James Garner in The Rockford Files,” he said, without a trace of insincerity. “I loved the way they’d open each show with Rockford’s answering machine going off and him getting some cruddy message like, ‘Hey, Jim, just calling to let you know that that race down in Baja that we thought was this weekend-it turns out it’s next weekend. Hope you haven’t already left.’ I love that.”

In truth, Owen is well aware of how he’s perceived and it informs everything he does on the screen. When he signed on to play a cocky top-gun pilot in Behind Enemy Lines, he pushed to have his character moved to the back seat, figuring his persona would play better as a put-upon navigator. It did. When he didn’t feel right portraying an accomplished intelligence agent walking Murphy through the world of espionage in I Spy, Owen created a second, rival spy in the script who would outshine his own and get all the best 007 gadgets. And instead of portraying a hard-guy gunfighter in the Shanghai movies, he converted the character into an inept, insecure, wannabe train robber who was really just in it for the girls. “We’ve worked these characters to be ones that I’m comfortable playing, that aren’t such badasses,” he said. “I’m more the kid in the back of the class making wisecracks.”

These are natural roles for Owen, all the more so because he tends to invent his own lines. Here is where his generation really hears itself, connecting with the pop-culture references Owen uses to fill out his dialogue. A favorite line from Shanghai Noon, “I may not know karate, but I know ka-razy. And I will use it” is from a James Brown song. His taunt to rival male model Stiller in Zoolander, “Who are you trying to get crazy with ese? Don’t you know I’m loco?” was originally a point of high drama in 1992’s Chicano gangster flick American Me. And the line that may be his most quoted, “They’ll never catch me because I’m f---ing innocent,” from Bottle Rocket, is lifted from a Guns n’ Roses song. “Scorcese wrote in Esquire that that was one of his favorite lines, and it’s from ‘Out ta Get Me,’” he said. “Obviously it’s used very differently in the film from what Axl Rose did with it.”

Owen comes up with all of this, and though this kind of riffing may not be heavy lifting, if you’re in on the joke, it’s part of that otherness that makes up his appeal. Maybe that’s what the critics mean by “quirky.” Brooks, who gave the world could-be savants Georgette Baxter from Mary Tyler Moore and Jim Ignatowski from Taxi, favors more-flattering terms, although he ends up sounding like Owen himself when he talks about it. “It’s a very delicate thing to maintain the right distance between you and the world,” he said, “but Owen’s got a great perch. You could throw him in a Hemingway novel, you could put him in the twenties, you could put him in the forties; he would be a star in any era. There’s something nicely literary about that little remove. I don’t even know what I mean when I say that, but I’ve always thought it.”

So maybe Owen has a slacker’s remove but hardly a slacker’s workload; fans will see plenty of him in the coming year. Next in the theaters will be an adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s The Big Bounce, opposite Morgan Freeman. It’s set in Hawaii, and Owen said it concerns “a crime and a con, and I play an antihero. You know you’ve almost made it when you get to play an antihero.” He’ll be shooting Starsky and Hutch through June, then he and brother Luke will make cameos as the Wright brothers in Jackie Chan’s remake of Around the World in 80 Days. Then it’s to work on The Wendell Baker Story with both Luke and Andrew. Throughout these projects, he and Wes will be sending ideas back and forth on a top-secret project known in Hollywood as Wes’s “oceanographer” script. Within the next couple years, he’d like to write a script of his own, but in the meantime, fans will have to content themselves watching Owen in other people’s projects, listening for those signature lines only he would make up.

And finally, the opening scene: “Moooooonshine,” said Owen Wilson, sounding typically awed and random. “How great a word is ‘moonshine’? I don’t even know exactly what it is, and I’ve never seen it, but I know I want to drink it for the rest of my life. It’d probably be a good name for a dog. ‘Come here, Moonshine!’ Like an old Where the Red Fern Grows type of dog.”

The Oscar-nominated screenwriter and big-popcorn movie star was driving down Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, and the talk in the car was going a lot like it does in his films. The discussion had started with, of all things, a quote from Samuel Beckett after I’d asked Owen, who is known as well-read, about a large black and white photograph of Beckett hanging in his living room.

“He wrote one of my favorite lines,” said Owen as we got into the car. “’Fail. Fail again. Fail better.’”

“What’s that from?”

“I’m not sure. I’ve never really read Beckett, but I like that line. And I really just like the photograph-all the lines on his face. You hope God looks like that.”

And from there he started rolling from his dad to Ireland to Planet of the Apes and finally to moonshine, where he ultimately got stuck.

“Moooooonshine,” he said again, letting the word roll around in his head. “Just think, if it were legal, what a good adman could do with a word like ‘moonshine.’ How is ‘water’ or ‘milk’ going to compete with something called ‘moonshine'? Orange Crush could maybe give it a run for its money but not really. It’s like ‘aaaangel dust.’ I guess its real name is PCP, but that doesn’t sound so good. ‘Angel dust’ sounds kind of wonderful. What about ‘skunk bud’? That’s not really a beautiful name, but it sounds….intriguing. I wonder why things that are so bad for you have to have such great names.”

Owen paused, realizing he’d answered his own question. I tried to bring him back down to earth. “So that’s Beckett. What about Joyce?”

“What about him?”

“Didn’t Beckett work for Joyce? I think when Joyce was going blind, Beckett was his secretary. He’d read to him and take dictation.”

“You know,” said Owen, “there’s that story about Finnegans Wake, when Beckett is taking dictation for Joyce and there was this knock on the door. Joyce heard it, but Beckett didn’t, so when Joyce says, ‘Come in,’ Beckett writes it down. Then later, when they pick back up and Beckett reads back to Joyce from the place they’d left off, Joyce asks how ‘Come in’ got in there. And Beckett says, ‘You said it.’ And Joyce decides to leave it in. He decides it would be okay for coincidence to be a collaborator. Do you know that line in Finnegans Wake?”

“In Finnegans Wake? No.”

“Neither do I. But I sure like that story. Doesn’t that sound like a great way to write?”

To the guy taking dictation, it certainly does.

“i’m happiest with you”

DATING NINI SALAZAR ROBERTS WOULD HAVE TO INCLUDE...

okay, so nini gets  i n v e s t e d  in her relationships, so pls be all in alongside her

it will cause rifts in your relationship later if you are not as committed as she is

nini will send you good morning and goodnight texts

ngl,,, sometimes she will send you lin manuel miranda’s good morning goodnight tweets. she loves him.

she is in love with showing affection, so i hope you know that she is going to do a smattering of little things that are vvv cute

you probably get in the habit of doing little, sweet things too

like leaving notes in her locker or sending her those heart explosion memes at lunch

i hope you know,,, nini is big on pda

she will constantly hold your hand or hang on your arm

she loves to give hugs

she loves to give you short, sweet kisses

and she loves it a whole lot when you do things back

especially if you are more shy. it warms her heart.

if you play with or braid her hair

if you put your hand in her back pocket

or give her kisses on the cheek

nini loves love

it is both her superpower and her downfall

also,,, nini is totally here for all the cliches

she has probably seen every romance movie ever made and lives for anything that is remotely similar to all of those hallmark movies

sometimes it can be draining, knowing that you have all these picture perfect relationships to live up to

but if you talk to nini about it, she realizes that she has a lot of expectations, and she understands and scales back a bit.

you guys definitely have a lot of study dates

whether it’s studying lines for the musical or studying for an academic test, the two of you are in her living room, your books spread across the table

you bring the snacks and she brings all of her highlighters, study guides and more

she gets really into her work and then you have to distract her to get attention

she says it’s annoying but she’s smiling too much for you to take her seriously

and you clearly have a great relationship with kourtney

if you don’t nini is immediately suspicious, ngl

and kourney is your go to for all things date related

like, clearly you know nini really well, but if you’re ever unsure, go to kourtney. she  k n o w s 

i like to think that since nini is so good at showing you love physically, you are better at telling her, verbally

you will constantly compliment her on how sweet, kind, smart, and loving she is

which is most likely followed with a kiss or bop on the nose

or you write poetry about her

pls do so - she will make it into a song and it’s so cute

i honestly hope that you are as enthusiastic about love as she is

it would be so cute if you said “i love you” first, it would really reassure her that you care for her not just because she cares about you, but because she matters to you

and that’s a thing, i feel like - nini puts her all into a relationship because she has a deep insecurity that no one will love her the way she loves them

so she tries to  m a k e  them love her - with gifts, with gestures, with overflowing amounts of love

so if you were to take that big step first - tell her you love her when she hasn’t asked for it, yet - she will feel like it’s the truth

pls, lord, give nini someone deserving of her love

i also feel like nini needs someone who’s really sincere in love, yes, but is also very chill?

like, she needs to get casual displays of love - the small things that are gentle reminders that ‘yes, i still care about you’

someone who will take her to get cheese fries after a late rehearsal or leave her random texts through the day that say you were thinking about her.

also, a little known talent of nini’s is that she’s really good at painting?

she’s been helping to make sets for musicals since, the fourth grade and she’s had a lot of time to hone her skills

so, if you ever want to just,,, paint with her, following those bob ross tutorials, it is vvv cute

she will tease you if you aren’t good, and if you are, she’ll distract you by flicking paint on you

which, naturally, will create a paint war

and omg,,,, when she is older and gets a house, painting her walls is going to be something she does a lot, so i hope you are together to see that cuteness

you are definitely going to be that couple, though, that goes out a lot to do stuff

nini has so much energy, please take her to the zoo or the aquarium, or a museum

somewhere where she can walk around and take silly photos with you

she kinda sucks at taking good photos (you are the expert, lets be real), but she loves to have them to put on her wall

nini loves you to death, and once you show her you feel the same...

AND FLUFF ENSUES.

Min Yoongi & Park Jimin: BTS!Twilight!Au HeadCanon

Summary: here is a glimpse at the beta and the epsilon of the pack!

Warnings: mentions of insecurities/eating disorders, depression, anxiety, FLUFF, POLY if that is still being considered as a warning along with mxm, fluffffff, my bad writing

W.C.: 1.4k

Notes: so i basically worked on this when i had breaks at work, so it might be a little confusing and jumped around, but i know. i will be going back and fixing this whenever i have time and after writing the one shot. SHOUT OUT TO @minniepetals​ for being a BIGG motivator for me during this long dry spell or writing. she is amazing and i cannot thank her enough for reassuring me and working with me. i know that i have been slacking with writing (hate work) but trust me, i am writing. my life has been too hectic lately and i am wanting this series to be amazing. ANYWAYS I HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!

Masterlist

·   Both Yoongi and Jimin are lonely

·   But different type of lonely

·   First off – Yoongi

·   To sum it up – Yoongi comes from a broken family where his mom died from brain cancer and his father turned into an alcoholic after her death

·   Yoongi was four at the time

·   Growing up motherless and with an alcoholic father – he became very angry at the world and hated almost everyone

·   In school he’s known as the quiet, but angry kid because of outbursts he has when people push him to far (which doesn’t take a lot from him)

·   But the one person who didn’t push him to far was jimin

·   Jimin bonds with Yoongi on a personal level, and he is very fond of the fairy like boy

·   They met in sociology

·   Btw yoongi is 26

·   I will get to the age thing when I talk about jimin – so one second

·   So yes, he graduated from high school and was trying to live a life of his own, which backfired on him due to turning.

·   Speaking of turning

·   When he turned, he cut all ties with Jimin after this – which hurts both of them

·   But let’s take a look at Jimin’s life

·   So Jimin comes from what others would call a ‘perfect family’

·   Jimin can admit that his family can be considered perfect

·   But jimin does not feel as if that he belongs in his family

·   Coming from a family that is very successful and considered to be ‘perfect’ jimin feels very pressured

·   Everyone has high expectations for Jimin so Jimin always puts a fake smile on and does everything in his power to please

·   From this, he becomes severely insecure and develops depression and an eating disorder

·   When Jimin was a Junior in high school and Yoongi was a senior, they both have sociology and they sat next to each other

·   Que love at first sight

·   Truthfully the both of them did not know what it was, but they know that there is this c e r t a i n bond between them

·   So when Yoongi became distant towards jimin, Jimin becomes very depressed and closed himself off

By the way, Jimin is now out of high school and so is Yoongi

They’re both in college with the pack*

But when they accidentally ran into each other when they both were in the woods, Yoongi felt something weird, the weird that Namjoon explained when he first met his imprint

It clicked to him and then 

BAM

Yoongi imprinted on Jimin and they have reunited 

I am going to give a more insider on this in a seperate one shot 

But just know that this was a very cautious beginning for the two of them because of Jimin’s insecurities and Yoongi’s change.

Eventually, mainly a month later Jimin changed and that cleared things up for the two

Wolf Descriptions

Yoongi is the beta of the pack and is badass

When Yoongi changed, Namjoon really helped Yoongi by calming him down and reassuring him that everything’s fine

Form the first meeting, Yoongi felt a connection (alpha and pack one) to Namjoon and found a fondness and closeness to the alpha

Like in Jungkooks one shot, Yoongi indeed does have an all black coat that allows him to blend into the night to the point even those who have the greatest eyesight cannot even see him

Yoongi jokes about how his fur coat represents how he has no feelings or soul 

Yoongi’s Wolf is also his best friend (like how it’ll be for every member) 

But his wolf helps him cope better because his wolf Dagny, helps Yoongi stop and take a breath kind of deal

But if the situation is where either both Jimin and you (imprint) are threatened or harmed, or anything in that aspect, better pray for that person because Yoongi is similar to Paul in this area - there’s literally no way to get Yoongi calmed unless it’s either his imprint or Jimin coaxing him. 

As for Jimin - Sereperindity vibezzzzz - fur color = blonde.

Jimin’s Wolf is actually kind of smaller than everyone else’s

To a human he seems gigantic but when he’s in wolf form standing next to everyone else he has a smaller frame

But one thing that comes out of this is that he is able to maneuver through trees and is a lot quicker 

Just like everyone else, Jimin’s Wolf is his safety and his wolfs name is Neon

Whenever he is feeling emotional or insecure he turns into his wolf so he is able to cope and talk to someone 

Even tho he has you and yoongi, his bond with his wolf is something that both you and Yoongi can’t have with jimin

Okie that sounded harsh, but ya know what I mean?

Thankfully both you and Yoongi understand this and aren’t jealous of it and are actually happy for Jimin to have someone to turn too and have a good coping mechanism. 

Imprint:

Okay, FYI - everything is still based in college (I think I forgot to mention that)

So, Yoongi and Jimin are both in the same classes (Yoongi actually went behind Jimin’s back when he enrolled because he wanted to be in every class with Jimin).

Jimin wasn’t thrilled but he couldn’t deny his fluttering heart at this

But y’all meet in Developmental Psychology on the first day

I wanna be cliche hehe

But you ran into both Jimin and Yoongi as you were turning a corner which led to the class

You heard a growl *damnit yoongi* which scares you into a stuttering mess

And as you looked into Jimins eyes, 

BAM

imprint

Yoongi also felt this too because of the bond 

Que guilty Yoongi and Dagny

But you did feel something but you were severely intimidated by the two BTS members so you ran off

Both Jimin and Yoongi wanted to chase after you but they both also didn’t want to force the bond onto you

So being causal, they both sat by you 

They totally did not sniff the air for you backpack (lmaoooooo)

So when you found out that they were sitting by you, you definitely tried to move seats but with your luck, they both glared at anyone to the point where those would put their bags in the seat next to them

You sighed, which made them feel bad because they could feel the anxiety you radiated, but eventually you gave in and sat down

They totally feel really bad

During the lecture they stared at you to the point you snapped 

“Can you please stop staring at me, I’m trying to concentrate.”

You were shocked from how they listened to you automatically 

You apologized for sounding rude - you just want to focus on your studies

After class they asked to talk to you

Talking meaning Jimin rambling to you while Yoongi is quietly staring at you adoringly 

Basically all you could comprehend is jimin asking to be friends 

To which you agreed 

Okay I’m trying to save everything for the one shot

Anyways

You balance both Jimin and Yoongi due to their insecurities and their demons

You’re the reason why they now wake up everyday 

1 because they want to make you happy

And 2 - you make them want to wake up

Of course they both felt like this before they found you

But they now have another reason , and also because the thought of you finding someone else haunts them

You CONSTANTLY have to remind that YOU LOVE THEM!!

Also that you’re their damn imprint and that you could never, couldn’t want to love anyone else like you love them

They also don’t realize how much they help you 

Especially by when your anxiety gets bad

They’re the only outlets you have when it comes to your anxiety 

Sometimes you do feel like you came crashing into their life and interrupted the relationship and you do sometimes feel like you’re left out

Once those two found about those feelings

Love ….. you sure were attacked by reassurances and love by them

You truly don’t realize how much you help them

It’s so disgustingly fluff that the pack sometimes feel like they’re watching a Hallmark movie lmao

It’s so cute

So in all - you complete them and they complete you. 

It’s a balanced relationship with open communication and help/love

No one is left out and no one feels alone

I want to be in a poly relationship with Jimin and Yoongi :(

Weekly Fic Recs by bewithmereylo - All Time Favorites

We are starting out these weekly fic recs with my all time favorites/must reads!  I’ve read all of these at least ten times through so they are well loved.  Mind the tags accordingly and enjoy!

The Benefits of Research (20k, E, Modern AU) - Rey’s a fanfic writer who is asked to write smut, and Ben oh so willingly gives her a helping hand (*wink wink*) with it.  It’s so soft and fluffy and you can never go wrong with intense mutual pining, like, it’s ridiculous how much these two love each other and just won’t admit it.  

Knot My First Time (19k, A/B/O, Modern AU) - The high school AU of my dreams, also the fic that finally solidified my love for A/B/O.  Confused virgins + close contact in sex ed classes + super soft loss of virginity = perfection.

A Royal Mix-Up (67k, E, Royalty/Modern AU) - Look, I despise Hallmark movies.  But you throw Reylo into the mix and a gratuitous amount of banging?  Sign me the fuck up.  Bonus Prince!Ben and a snowy castle getaway.  Don’t ask me how many times I’ve reread this because it’s borderline unhealthy.

the heartbreak prince (WIP, E, Hogwarts AU) - I never read fics until they’re finished because I’m an impatient bitch, but I couldn’t hold back any longer.  Oh.  My.  God.   Poor Eurydice is just a suppressed virgin in need of some lessons, and Prof. Solo is more than willing to help out.  God, please read this immediately.  

what’s mine is yours (3k, T, post-TLJ) - Two words: hair braiding.  The fluff and domesticity is so heavy in this one and it makes me crumble into a sobbing mess.

a sky full of stars (23k, E, Modern AU) - This takes long distance mutual pining to a whole (not quite) new universe.  It’s so so soft and while I do enjoy a good angsty fic, there is basically no angst in it (other than the two of them being confused in-love idiots).  If you could only read one fic from this list, read this one, it’s so worth it.

Paid in Full (3k, M, Modern AU) - The accidental sugar da- buddy fic you’ve always wanted.  Celia_and owns my soul at this point.  

Send me asks for what type of fics you want me to rec next week!

Hi! I don't fully remember the plot, but basically there's a universe where Bucky died (I think it was like a gladiator type thing?) and Steven mourned his loss. The avengers get sucked into this during a mission (probably) and Steve is super happy to see Bucky but Natasha doesn't fully trust him. I think Steve has a hut or something with fur rugs.

I've been looking for a specific fic I've read on ao3 a while ago for days Steve and bucky live in the avengers tower and bucky starts going back in his dreams where he's with the howling commando and Steve has to comfort him in the modern time because it's too much with all the deads etc. and they get together in the past and Steve starts getting these new memories as well. btw it's not "memories I now can't recall" which seems to be a bit similar.

Hi! I've been looking everywhere for the fic where steve is an illustrator and bucky is a famous author who releases a children's book about their friendship but through the metaphor of a cat and dog's friendship (Kitty and Dot?). It's one of my favorite fics ever and I'd much appreciate anyone's help to find it. Thank you!

Hello ! There’s a Modern Bucky/Modern Steve fic where Bucky has just moved into an apartment complex owned by Tony Stark (who was his boss) and since the walls are windows, he can see Steve in the building across from him. They start to message each other using pencil and paper ( kind of like in You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift). They eventually end up having sex in Bucky’s apartment. Thank you!!!!

There were a handful of fics I read ages ago that shared a trope, but I can’t seem to find a decent way to search for them: college AU, with Steve and Bucky being fake boyfriends in order to participate in a relationship study at school.

Hi, i am looking for a fic I lost. It features pre serum Steve and (i think) winter soldier looking Bucky. There are also Natasha and clint who are married or dating. Natasha and bucky work at a restaurant but they all have shady, super secret past. Both steve and bucky like each other, but bucky can only speak russian to him because his past missions messed him up. There is also a scene where bucky serves steve some food at the restaurant he works at and steve thanks him in russian.

Hi! I feel like I actually originally found this fic on your blog, but I haven’t been able to find it again. It’s one where they’re together, but they’re hiding it from the Avengers because they believe the Avengers are very homophobic. I think it was pretty angsty. They finally do get found out and then they explain to the team everything that made them think the team wouldn’t react well?

[inhonoredglory]

I honestly can’t really get on board w the ending of httyd 3 for the very fact that it felt like what ppl say happens when you get married, that you leave everyone even your best friend and go to your own little bubble w your partner and kids (maybe occasionally seeing them if your lucky) and being that I haven’t been w anyone ever &that I don’t see my future like that it kinda made me sad that the ending kinda just further reinforced the idea that that’s what’s natural idk

OK. This. This is what has been bothering me pretty hardcore since the film ended and I got over the shine of its shocking newness. I don’t want to really promote negativity in the fandom, but it should be addressed and you bring up what I fear the most in most mainstream narratives, and what I thought we were safe from in the HTTYD franchise.

Because HTTYD as a whole is so strongly and so poignantly about the friendship and fierce love of Hiccup and Toothless: theirs is a Love Story, through and through, and let’s be real: HTTYD3 confirmed that by having Hiccup tell Toothless, “I love you” (if anyone out there was confused before) and by paralleling Stoick’s “love is loss” flashback quote with (not Hiccup and Astrid), but Hiccup and Toothless.

So the narrative definitely elevates the friendship of Hiccup and Toothless. I appreciate that. I appreciate that the film knows this is about “the friendship of a lifetime.” Hiccup is selfless to the point of death for Toothless’ happiness. (Toothless has some development issues and a less-than-stellar portrayal of his own separation anxiety, but that’s another issue written about here in this analysis by @e–wills and @kingofthewilderwest)

The theme of the film is that dragons and humans can’t live with each other because humans are too evil. Toothless must protect his dragonkind. Toothless must lead them to safety. I’m not going to go into the details of how those themes were developed in the film (or if they needed more emphasis). That might be another post once I see the film again.

What I am bothered by is how easily the narrative feeds into what you feared: that friendships must inevitably give way to romantic partnerships. Hiccup says he was paying attention to what he wanted, rather than what Toothless needed. He asks Toothless, “am I enough?” And the narrative is telling us, no. We have so many supporting character relationships turned into romances or hints of romances that weren’t that way before––from Snotlout hitting on Valka, that bit of Valka and Eret, Tuffnut and Hiccup, Gobber and Eret. (Again, I’m not saying romance is bad, but romance––of any stripe––was never the hallmark of HTTYD.) And of course… we get Ruffnut trying to decide which man she wants to fall in love with.. because apparently, even her and Tuffnut can’t be complete with just each other (I’m not the biggest RTTE fan, but I honestly adored that ep where Ruff committed herself to Tuff instead of running off with Throk.)

A hugely disproportionate amount of the jokes in the film were ultimately sexual in nature. And when Toothless is swept off his wings by the Light Fury (literally when he fell into the Hidden World w/ her), the cinematic structure of that scene was that traditional fade to black (read: they had sex) we see in romantic movies since the beginning of movies. Toothless is slobbery and horny. Hiccup and Astrid are on fire (literally, and I could probably get very Freudian about that scene too). The overtness of the sexual undertone in this film felt more powerful to me than the direness of the threat (again, with limited runtime they chose to emphasize developing Toothless and LF’s arc than the villains’).

It bothers me because even though we get the world-scope facts about Toothless having to return to his kind and protect his dragons, we get the emotional and narrative scaffolding of a very, VERY tired and traditional trope. Casual fans are gonna see this movie and knee-jerk right back into the idea that friendships are the things you have as a kid and teen growing up. Those have to ultimately give way to “the real world” where you settle with a romantic partner and have a family.

Are families bad? No. Is romance bad? No. But Hiccup and Toothless represented so much more than that; they represented True Love, which is dedicated, committed, and lifelong. I adored GotNF because it placed the hallmarks and symbology of marriage (willing bondage to another person) in the context of Hiccup and Toothless, the most non-sexual of relationships (bless the fact that Toothless is a dragon because it made friendship the only canon interpretation of their bond). HTTYD3 tries to explain GotNF by saying Toothless had no one to go to when he flew off. But now he does.

I still want to see the film again to really get my thoughts together on this, but at the moment I’m grumbling. I soapbox friendships-as-legit-love a lot and so I was triggered somewhat by the shift. Like you, I’ve never been in a romantic relationship either and I really wonder if the biological drive to get hooked is that powerful in people. Maybe it is…

I lowkey want to write a THW Remix fic putting back in all the themes we know and love into the movie, but with the plot intact, cuz the plot of this film was heartbreakingly beautiful and completely relevant to the biggest Hiccup and Toothless question in their growth: when does a love before selfish?

Anyway, I rambled long enough. Please let’s dialogue about this, fandom. I want to work my feelings out on it and hopefully be proved wrong.

I do recommend reading this post by a friend of mine who believes the friendship was not overpowered by the romance.

AVENGERS: CIVIL WAR

THE MIGHTY PRE ENDGAME REWATCH

it took us two entire days to watch this, back in whenever we were watching this. I’ve got a Bundle of Papers here in front of me, and the CW Bundle is by far the thickest, and that’s with minimal salt content.

Speaking of Salt: The Roommate and I had to approach this as an Avengers movie. Because otherwise the salt levels in this would be toxic, possibly fatal. Even so, ppl with high cholesterol be warned

LET’S DO THIS

1991!

Winter Soldier: 

what is this

what is this please

dat beef tho

what is this op sec

honestly

NO mask

SHINY FUCKOFF ARM just HANGING OUT

CCTV???

~ooooooo he’s a ghooooooooooooost~

he’s got an extremely dedicated and very harried cleanup crew is what he’s got

OH! OLD LOGO ILU!!!

LAGOS!!

The Roommate: That’s a lot of sugar

i ain’t judging

what, you think her powers run on optimism?

is there an accent? is there not? Shroedinger’s accent.

droney the drone

sam’s lil sky roomba

i love him

guhhhh this scene every line shows character and growth and i just *clenches fist*

did

did falcon just throw steve

just yeeted him at the enemy?

god i love that

also: has steve bulked up since TWS?

that’s also on Sam, yeah?

CUT THE CHEEEEECCCCK

is this fucking NEUROTOXIN? STEVE WHERE’S UR MASK?

Steve, throwing himself into a room full of an unknown poison gas without a mask: I bet i can survive this

Bucky, in Bucharest: *breaks whatever he’s holding without knowing why*

god i love sam

“I don’t work like that no more” Means ?????????????

PARKOUR NAT

is also BRUNCH MOM NAT

“both grunting” is always one of my favorite subtitles

2 white boys fighting in the middle of the street like it’s a video game

god someone took the murder strut to heart wow that is some. that is some something that’s for sure.

give me even one (1) heterosexual explanation for "your pal your buddy your bucky"

there’s no way that bucky ever said this, right? this is just Rumlow fucking with steve, and the screenwriters fucking with us

because IN CASE YOU WERE NOT IN THIS FANDOM IN 2016, WE ALL THOUGHT CAP WOULD DIE IN THIS MOVIE

WE WERE SO SURE

wow i wonder if that will be relevant to anyone’s emotions here in the year of our lordt 2019

anyway, what bucky actually said was:

“please tell rogers... that he’s a big dumb dildo and he should wear a gas mask and also a parachute.”

listen i love this opening scene but also wanda is not at all responsible for this explosion and the fact that they act like she is undermines my ability to suspend my disbelief.

DIGITAL ENYOUTHENMENT ALERT

also, tony the fact that you are using your literal dead mom as an actual therapist is

wow

BARF feels right to me

too real, tony

it’s too real

how ARE you getting around the strings and taxes tho

Also can i say that i actually love that Pepper’s absence is this profoundly important to the story. The hole where pepper should be is a huge part of this story and i like that. i like that a lot.

WOW THAT EXTRA IS LIKE A MASHUP OF NAT AND WANDA. SHE IS THE GENERIC MARVEL WHITE LADY

more a+ visual storytelling with the elevator

I’m just so mad that they blame wanda and play that straight?

all they had to do was outright acknowledge one (1) time that the media is picking on her because she’s a woman/a foreigner

imagine that speech coming from nat instead of steve

though i do love Steve’s pep talk

again. give me one (1) heterosexual explanation

though why not have Steve say “they’re just bullies, you did the right thing” and hearken back to smolsteeb

The Roommate: Remember how i was mad at his Oscars Velvet Blazer? I am also mad at this sweater.... it looks... so soft... i don’t know if i want it on him or off him... just wanna tuch....... and wear..........?”

Vision’s Ascot is. Something else man.

The Roommate: Why is ross secretary of state?

Me: Why is Trump President

Me: I bet Ross is vegan

the roommate, who has vegan-related trauma: UUUUGGGHHHHHHHH

Nat's reaction to vigilantes: Bitch please. she is Unbothered.

you don’t have to show us footage we’ve got the ptsd nightmares

400 pages in 3 days

[tired american sighing]

we honestly can’t even criticize this plot point anymore just

[my longest and most american sigh]

CLEVELAND!!!

hail hydra continues to be the Most Terrible last words

but WHY does ross have the congressional medal of honor

do you know how HARD it is to get one of those????

yeesh

sassy black friends sassing at each other

is definitely a

thing that is happening rn

Vision: Well Actually

no one cares, vis

ok like

a kid is dead but

3.6 is an okay GPA

maybe all my friends are overachievers

maybe it’s just because most of them are women but like

it’s an okay GPA

i’d have 8000% more respect for Tony if he was more upfront like “look this is on me” especially here

are we supposed to be picking all this up as subtext, actually?

because i know that this movie ALSO had a Troubled Youth ala ant man

and i really do appreciate the Russos for relying on a smart audience but there’s a lot going on

and it’s very obvious to me that they had to shift gears 18,000 times in the script writing phase

so like, you’ve got old man vet steve

but it’s painfully obvious that he missed vietnam right?

like

it’s painfully obvious

and he’s v egotistical and self righteous too 

it IS a battle of the egos

and no one is right

except natasha

Steve: i have to go

me: mood

LONDON!!!!

oh god

oh god no

steve god no steve oh god

gfhskfdjjjksjdjjhrrrrhrhhrhfhh [wailing and rending of garments]

Re Peggy’s age:

SURPRISE IT’S ACTUALLY PLAUSIBLE

so the True Hallmark of a Cap Movie is Peggy telling steve what to do.

so weird to have that in an avengers movie

i do love this. GOOD BRO NAT CONTENT

Um. is vision a minor? is wanda?

again, nat is the only Correct one here

stay together guys

it might be

reeeeeeaaaaally important in 

*checks watch*

two years’ time.

~hug~

VIENNA!!!!!

CHAD WICK! CHAD! WICK! CHAD! WICK!

god i love the xhosa in this

There is a level of worldbuilding in this that we p much only get from the russos/markus&mcfeely. i mean -- internal consistency worldbuilding? if that makes sense? we get a lot of visual worldbuilding in black panther, but this is distinctly different and hard to articulate and it has to do with the way they approach things and how they assume audience intelligence

it just works for me

oh no chadwick boseman don’t be cry

Sharon deserves better

than being cockblocked by her own aunt

and also sam wilson (who also deserves better)

russian IS hard

how. did he get that in there?

Captain’s Log: Buck’s place is a shithole

Sergeant’s Log: Steve’s face is pretty

surprise bitch

“That’s Smart, Good Strategy” is an excellent phrase to use in everyday conversation in order to weed out who Knows and who Doesn’t.

What i have learned from civil war: 

Captain America is a projectile weapon

further query:

did bucky ever hurl small steve at assailants?

Bucky: *punts steve down an alley*

Steve, 90 lbs of rage at 90 mph: GET WRECKED

Bucky’s got big tommy wiseau cryptid energy here

And now there’s a cat

bucky:

I love this vampire running and also bucky’s thighs

Steve Rogers: Excuse me sir I need to commandeer this vehicle. YEET.

Bucky Barnes: Excuse me sir I need to commandeer this vehicle. YOINK.

Bucky and Steve: Wrecking your morning commute since 2014

WAR MACHINE!!!

god vis has the biggest dorkiest crush

so vis are you a child prodigy? or? what?

The Roommate, a cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure: vis have you eaten anything between CW and IW?

Me: Y. Yes. I th. think he has. eaten something. between now and. and IW. something.

The Roommate: *betrayed look*

Bucky is. So tired. Let him rest.

fucking up the morning commute again i see

u like cats??

I love the ratio of overkill:ineffectiveness with this glass box they put him in.

why did tony  bring these fancy pens

the time spent explaining them could’ve been spent doing literally anything else

*i still don’t understand the accords*

GOD STEVE WANTS TO BE AN UNCLE SO BAD

“my fault”

there it is

“truth is i don’t want to stop”

THERE it is

“i thought the accords could split the difference”

THERE IT IS

"no, i don’t.”

THERE IT IS

“IT’S INTERNMENT.”

THERE! IT! IS!

gah.

wanda’s accent et al -- MAKE IT EXPLICIT MARVEL YOU COWARDS

no but really what are the accords

here followed a 20-30 minute convo about the accords

basically the summing up was:

Nat is 100% Right Ross is 100% Wrong Everyone Else is In A Grey Area

look this is actually a really good avengers movie

but

this is a moment when the back catalogue works against them because this conversation is so -- it implies a lot of friendly interactions between these two. they seem to have a relationship

but i keep looking at all the other movies they’ve interacted in like

BITCH WHERE? WHERE IS THE TONYSTEVE FRIENDSHIP? WHERE???

i am anticipating this will cause me A Grief later

The Roommate, looking at Steve in his Grey Shirt and Jacket: Damn, sir. Stop wearing clothes.

“BIRD COSTUME???”

“j a m e s”

“I don’t wanna talk about it.”

tony he doesn’t have a passport and if he understood what was happening he would not be on your side

Now That’s What I Call Vigilantism.

Why are you bringing a CHILD to a gun fight

Tony’s face, to me, suggests that he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing

also? it’s painfully obvious to me that these scenes were copypasted in late stage when they finally found out that yes they would have the rights to spiderman lol

for some reason they don’t feel the need to tell is that this is avengers compound in 400 point font

i’m so lost

where are we?

without the 400 point font i can only assume we are on mars

THAT’s a fine way to greet YOUR FATHER, WANDA

hawkeye is in fact the team lynchpin

is it

ugh

is it because they listen to him but he listens to natasha

ugh

i bet it is

UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

Vision: I have been FALLING! for THIRTY MINUTES!

“i know someone who does”

i’m confused by the cut here, because it seems to imply that Sharon, deliberately or inadvertently, rats them out to natasha?

Thinking about the coming battle i am forced to concede that Iron Man Has A Point?

“do you really want to punch your way out of this?”

Steve: I ALWAYS wanna punch my way out

god scott’s such a fukkin nerd

tiny quibble but Scott “got punched by hope van dyne” lang would never say that to the black heckin widow

Fluffy ABC’s Percy & Athena

Pairing: Athena x Perceval Word count: 3,338 Warnings: fluff, pure fluff Summary: Just a fluffy pre-wedding interview with Ana DeLuca. A/N: Based off of @pixelburied fluff ABC’s. Modeling after @blackcatkita’s Ana DeLuca interviews. Fluffing cause I need it but my muse wants all the angst, Hope this doesn’t suck. I have another interview in the works for Rashad & Lennox and fluff ABC’s for Liza & Bastien, Driam, and Liam & Raven coming.  Let me know if you want to be added or removed from the taglist. Disclaimer: I only own my OC’s, the rest I’m borrowing from PB.

A – Anger (What was their first fight about? Any big or recurring arguments?) “Your Grace, Lady Athena, Thank you for agreeing to take the time to speak to me on the behalf of the readers of trend. I have a few questions I’m sure our readers are dying to know the answers to about Duke Perceval Hunter and his fiancé who happened to be the former suitor of our own beloved King Liam.” Ana DeLuca stayed as she greeted the couple. “Please tell our readers what your first fight was about, do you have any big or recurring arguments?” Athena and Percy glanced at each other, fighting to keep the smiles off their faces. “We don’t really have fights or arguments, not over anything big.” Athena replied. “That’s right.” Percy agreed, taking her hand in his kissing the back before resting their still joined hands on his lap. “Six months of the last year of my mother’s life was filled with arguments, I vowed if I ever found someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with that I wouldn’t keep things from them and that I would always be open and honest with them.” “We make sure to always talk things through when we might be upset. Maybe we’re still in the ‘honeymoon period’, but we never had a true disagreement.” Athena added. “I never want to see Athena upset again after having to wipe so many of her tears on the royal engagement tour that I make sure to do anything in my power to put a smile on her face.” Percy supplied in agreement. Athena gently squeezed Percy’s hand. “We make sure to never go to bed angry at one another either.”

B – Best (What would they say is the other’s best trait?) “What would you say is the best trait your partner possesses.” Ana queried. Athena laughed softly. “This might be the only thing that we truly disagree on, Percy absolutely loves my strength. I don’t feel as strong as Percy likes to say I am.” “I constantly remind her it took enormous strength to return to court with her head held high in order to clear her name. To watch the man she had thought she would marry parade happy and smiling with another woman on his arm only further proved her strength to me.” Percy countered.

C – Camera (How do they document their relationships? Who likes to take pictures? Or videos?) “How do you document your relationship? Who takes the most pictures?” Ana asked. “Percy definitely takes the most pictures. He likes to take candid photographs of me.” Athena answered, trying to keep from smiling. “He spent weeks sneaking candid photos of me.” “I was trying to prove to her she was the strong beautiful woman I kept telling her she was. The carefree smile, the way her eyes shine with love, make the candies some of my favorite shots. I still take candids of her so whenever she is doubting herself I can show her to remind her.” Percy explained.

D – Dates (What are their dates like?) “That is really sweet Duke Perceval.” Ana replied discretely wiping a tear from her eye. “What are dates like for the Duke and future Duchess of Winchester?” “Percy would say the sky's the limit, but I think my favorite dates are ones spent home or that we can take Chance and Cleo on.” Athena answered.

E – Early (What was the first month of dating like?) “Please tell our readers what your first month of dating like.” Ana requested. “Well, our first two months of dating was when we were on the royal engagement tour celebrating Liam and Madeline’s engagement. We had met the first night on the train. I was contemplating what I was doing on the tour and Percy was able to make me smile the first time in a month. For the first time since I left New York I was able to have some semblance of freedom again. I didn’t feel weight of the scandal hanging over my head when I was with Percy. Unlike her ‘dates’ with Liam during the social season they were more spontaneous, and we didn’t have to worry about what the press would think when we were out and about—my reputation was already tarnished, and Percy never cared very much for his image. I felt happy and free with Percy and I soon realized she wasn’t cut out to be Queen like she once thought.” Athena explained. She smiled softly as Percy gave their joined hands a subtle squeeze.

F – Friends (How is their relationship with each other’s group of friends?) “What is your relationship with your partners friends? Do you get along with one another, or are you at odds with each other?” Ana questioned. “My closest friends would be Alex from prep school and the former crown prince Leo, both Alex and Leo love Athena, and are happy for me. They both were sure I would be a permanent bachelor having never found anyone I had a true spark with. When they see me with Athena, the way my eyes light up when she walks into a room they know I finally found the one who I was completely meant for. Alex likes to tease me that all I had to do was go to New York more often and I would have found her that much sooner, but I maintain that I found Athena exactly when I was supposed to.” Percy replied. “My cousin Bailey was a tad hesitant, she was fine until the proposal and then she wondered why we were moving so quickly. But Percy was able to quickly assuage her worries and win her back over.” Athena stated.

G – Gifts (Do they like giving each other gifts? What kind?) “Do you enjoy giving each other unexpected gifts? If so what kind of things do you give each other?” Ana inquired. “For Christmas Percy gave me a Savannah. Cleo is adorable and I love her, but I was worried at first about her and Chance. Things were a little rocky at first, but they’ve calmed down now.” Athena replied.

H – Hugs (All things involving hugs) Ana tapped her Stylus against her tablet as she looked at the next question. “Affection, how often do you hug one another?” “We are both very affectionate. Whether it’s with small touches, or holding hands, little kisses on the cheek, or hugs. It’s more kisses or little touches than hugs.” Athena answered.

I – Inside Jokes (Do they have any?) “Do the two of you share any inside jokes?” Ana questioned. Athena and Percy looked at each other, “I don’t think we have any inside jokes. Do we?” Athena asked. “None that I can think of.” Percy replied.

J – Jealousy (Who gets jealous easier? How do they show their jealousy?) “Who gets jealous the most often and how do you show it?” Ana asked. “Neither of us gets jealous—” “Well there was that time when I met Tabitha, our wedding planner that I got nervous. I had no clue who this gorgeous woman in our kitchen was, but I wasn’t jealous. I know I never have to worry about you looking at anyone else and that you will proudly tell them you are off the market if you get hit on.” Athena said cutting Percy off mid sentence. “You are the only one who as my eye and I would tell anyone who asked, and even those who didn’t.” Percy declared, a light blush appearing on Athena’s cheeks.

K – Kiss (How do they kiss? Who usually initiates?) “That’s so sweet.” Ana replied. “Next question, who is the one to initiate kisses more often?” “I would say we are both about even on that front. Both of us are very loving and affectionate and love to show it, whether it be with a kiss or the holding of a hand or the words themselves.” Percy answered with a squeeze of Athena’s hand.

L – Love (How do they first say those three words?) “Love, please tell us, how did you tell the other and who said it first?” Ana requested “Percy said it first.” Athena said smiling despite the bittersweet memory. “He blurted it out, when he was trying to calm me down, I didn’t know for sure until a few days later. I told him shortly after Liam’s press conference. I was so nervous, I’m sure he thought I was there to break up with him.”

M – Movies (What kinds of movies do they watch together? Is it a regular Netflix ritual?) “What kind of movies do you enjoy together? Is Netflix a ritual for you?” Ana inquired. “Athena loves the sappy heart wrenching romantic comedies, light on comedy—” “That’s not all I like.” Athena countered. “No, of course not, you love your Hallmark channel, more sappiness.” Percy teased. “Oh shush! It’s not like you didn’t cry watching The Notebook.” Athena rebutted. “It was emotional. Their love prevailed for years and she overcomes her dementia only for them to die together.”

N – Nicknames (Things they call each other) “Do you have any nicknames for each other?” Ana asked. “From the moment I met Athena I’ve called her Doll, the word was on the tip of my tongue when I saw her drowning her sorrows in her drink. I of course knew who she was, all of Cordonia knew who she was—the woman who jilted their king. I had her pegged from the moment he saw her, she was far too broken to have done what those photographs implied, she looked just like a broken doll swirling her glass of amber liquid. I felt the urge to comfort her. I grabbed a seat next to her, hoping to strike up a conversation with her and take her mind off of her worries. When I introduced myself telling her, I told to her to call me Percy—I had been both surprised and completely content with the decision. No one had called me that in just over twenty seven years since my mother passed, but somehow I longed to hear her call me the nickname that had long since died.” Percy exclaimed. Athena wiped away the tears that had formed during Percy’s confession of why he called her doll.

O – One (Tell us about the moment they realized they were with the one.) “Could you tell our readers the moment when you realized that your partner was the one?” Ana questioned. “Well I felt inexplicably drawn to her at the bar, I felt the urge to wipe the tears from her eyes. I hadn’t even met her yet, though I knew her name, but all I wanted was to make her smile and laugh. I knew that I never wanted to see a frown on her face.” Percy answered looking at Athena. “I never felt the intense attraction with anyone else before. I knew she was reeling from Liam choosing Madeline and may not have been ready to take another chance on love.” And she was technically Liam’s mistress. “But I knew even if my heart ended up completely shattered in the end it was a risk I was willing to take to show her what she deserved, that she was worth more than being pushed aside.” And hidden in the shadows. “She made me feel things I never had before and I was more than willing to take a chance on her, on us.” Athena squeezed Percy’s hand as she blinked back the forming tears. “ I felt a flicker of hope with Percy. I had been heartbroken when Liam chose Madeline at the coronation.” And was terrified that all I could ever be to Liam was his mistress. “The more I got to know Percy, the more I thought that Liam not choosing me wasn’t the worst thing ever. I felt freer than she ever had with any other boyfriend when she was out with Percy. He made me so happy that I could barely keep the smile off of my face with him and certainly never thought about the scandal when I was with him. With Percy the sky was the limit and there was nothing hanging over my head keeping us apart.” Athena discreetly swallowed as she tried to explain how she knew she loved Percy without revealing too much. “It wasn’t until I thought I might lose him that I knew how much I truly loved Percy. I had a scare, and I was worried that Percy wouldn’t want children and that it was too soon and he would feel trapped and the thought of losing him made me see how badly I loved him and wanted to be with him.” That wasn’t too much of a lie.

P – Pizza (What is their favorite food to eat together?) “What is your favorite food to eat together?” Ana asked. “We both have adventurous palates so we are up to trying new foods together. My favorite by far was our tasting menu for our wedding reception. Percy has spoken to the chef and they planned a menu based on all the cities integral in our relationship.” Athena responded.  

Q – Quit (Do they break up? Almost break up? What happened?) “Was there ever a time when you broke up, or nearly broke up? What happened to make you question your relationship together?” Ana inquired. “Well, like I stated before I was worried Percy would leave me because of the scare.” Athena replied. I thought there would be no way Percy would want me if I was pregnant with Liam’s child. “I felt more heartbroken than when Liam chose Madeline at the thought of losing him. Percy assured me that he would be by her side no matter what.” If that’s what I wanted. “In the end it was negative and I finally knew he was the one. That’s the closest that we got to breaking up.”

R – Rainy Days (How do they comfort each other on dark days?) “How do you comfort each other on a dark and rainy day? Ana asked. “I love listening to the rain, I find it soothing and calming, but if it’s particularly could, or there is danger of losing power Percy will build a fire and we will cuddle up together and watch movies or read.” Athena answered.

S – Soft (Something one of them did that turned the other into absolute mush) “What is something your partner has done for you that turned you into mush?” Ana requested. “There is no real one thing that Percy has done. It’s the way he listens to me and reads me. He knows me better than I know myself sometimes. On the tour in Paris he rented a motorcycle and took me on a motorcycle tour of the city because he knew I needed a break from court. He took candid pictures of me to show me the way he saw me. When I became overwhelmed with wedding planning he took me back to Rome where our story started. There is no one thing that turns me into mush because every thoughtful thing he ever does turns me to mush.” Athena answered squeezing Percy’s hand.

T – Texting (Do they text each other a lot? What do they usually talk about over the phone?) “When you are apart how do you stay in touch, do you text or talk on the phone more often?” “When we are only apart for a few hours we text each other. When we are apart for a few days, which has only happened once when Percy went to New York to meet a friend to help him with a mission, we will text during the day and FaceTime in the morning and evening.” Athena responded.

U – Unique (Tell us about some of their odd habits that surprised one another.) “Do either of you have any unusual habits that may have caught the other off guard?” Ana questioned with a raised eyebrow. “The only thing that surprised me about Percy was how low key and down to earth he was. He truly cares for the people of his Duchy, but he does that without being worried about his own image and it works for him.” Athena replied.

V – Vanity (Something they’re proud of in themselves and their partner) “What is something that you are proud of in yourself and your partner?” “I’m proud of Athena’s strength and determination. Not many women are tough enough to face down a scandal in attempt to clear her name. I’m proud that I was able to prove to myself that I didn’t need to do things my father’s way to run a thriving happy duchy.” Percy answered.

W – Wedding (Tell us about your wedding head canon if they’ve gotten that far. Or if not, have they talked about it?) “We hear there is a wedding coming up, can you tell us about what you have planned so far?” Ana asked. Athena smiled, “we’re getting married at the beach. It’s rather small and simple for a wedding of a Duke, but it’s what we want.” “What prompted you to want to go against the traditional nobility wedding?” Ana questioned. “We aren’t the type of couple who cares too much about our titles. I care for those in my duchy, and take pride in my duties as a Duke, but for me being a Duke is about what I can do for my people and not what my status says about me.�� Percy replied “That and you proposed spontaneously at sunset at my secret cove in New York during the last leg of Liam and Madeline’s engagement tour. I knew I wanted to have a nod to our proposal, we couldn’t be marriage at the cove, but we could be married at the beach.” Athena added. “That sounds beautiful.” Ana stated.

X – X (Something they hate about the other) “Is there anything that bothers you about the other?” Ana questioned, poised to jot down the answer. Athena paused clearly thinking out the answer, “no Percy absolutely perfect, although that can be annoying at times.” She answered with a playful smirk. “I love everything about Athena—” “See? That there, he’s too perfect!” Athena exclaimed cutting off Percy.

Y – Youtube (What are they like online? Do they post about their relationship constantly?) “As a Duke and future Duchess, what is your online presence like? Do you post a lot about your relationship?” “We already live in the spotlight, Athena went through the social season and that scandal, I’m a Duke, we have plenty of people already looking at our relationship, we prefer to stay quiet about our relationship online.” Percy replied bringing their joined hands up to his mouth, kissing the back of Athena’s hand. God I love this woman.

Z – Zoo (Are they into animals? Do they want pets? What kind?) “Okay, last question, what are your feelings on pets? Do you have any? Want pets? What kind of animal would be the perfect pet for you?” “When we were in Rome I adopted a Corgi named Chance, who quickly became attached to Percy.” Athena replied. “For Christmas I got her a Savannah kitten named Cleopatra, who we call Cleo.” Percy added. “A Corgi and a Savannah, That must be a little wild.” Ana declared. “Yea, their meeting was a little crazy.” Percy responded with a chuckle. “More than a little crazy, but Chance and Cleo are best friends now.” Athena countered. “I’m just worried how Chance is going to react when Cleo gets bigger than him.” “They’ll be fine Doll.” Percy stated, leaning over to give her a soft kiss. “Thank you, it was great getting to know one of our most down to earth Duke’s and his soon to be Duchess better.” Ana stated gathering her things up to leave.

[kclenhartnovels]

On on a computer so * (star) and Con & Delgos and the Ponies!

First for Constantine and Delgos:

who spends hours putting up lights only to get tangled in them and storm off? Lmao Constantine. Delgos would finish them for him.

who accidentally eats a whole box of christmas chocolates in one sitting? D e l g o s. And would then casually hide the box as if they never received it.

who insists on watching the cheesey hallmark christmas movies? Delgos, but only as an excuse to cuddle and fall asleep on the couch.

who insists on playing nothing but michael buble in the few days running up to christmas? Constantine. He would love that crooner style.

who gets their presents wrapped at the mall so the other cant go snooping Delgos, because otherwise Constantine would go snooping around.

who insists on making snow angels? Both of them. They are adorable nerds.

who put christmas outfits on all the pets? Delgos would put holly in the horse’s manes.

Do they go to family’s or have a quiet day in? Quiet day in, though the day after Christmas Delgos would likely go home and see his giant family, in order to keep them from storming the castle, so to speak.

who insists on wearing matching ugly christmas jumpers? Delgos would want to, Con would shut it down.

Who waits up until midnight to give the other their present? Both of them, probably giggling and a little tipsy by then.

Who insists on hand-made presents only one year? Neither of them; Delgos doesn’t have the time, and Constantine doesn’t have the skill.

Who puts mistletoe on every door frame? Delgos. He would like more kisses, please.

Who gets too drunk at the work christmas party and has to be picked up at 9:15pm? Constantine

who gets angry and almost tells kids that santa isnt real? CONSTANTINE

For the Ponies:

who spends hours putting up lights only to get tangled in them and storm off? Thistle. She would like the idea, up until she realized how much work it was.

who accidentally eats a whole box of christmas chocolates in one sitting? Definitely Tilly, though also possibly Than

who insists on watching the cheesey hallmark christmas movies? Arie, and she would make a pillow and blanket fort for all of them.

who insists on playing nothing but michael buble in the few days running up to christmas? They battle over the music choices. Tilly loves the traditional hymns and choruses. Than prefers slightly more modern adaptations. Arie likes TSO. Thistle plays Let it Go on repeat and insists it’s a Christmas song.

who gets their presents wrapped at the mall so the other cant go snooping? Than. Also they don’t really like wrapping.

who insists on making snow angels? Tilly, but Thistle makes the snow for her.

who put christmas outfits on all the pets? T i l l y. Arie helps her.

Do they go to family’s or have a quiet day in? Quiet day in. Family is...complicated for them.

who insists on wearing matching ugly christmas jumpers? Tilly, but Arie is the one to buy them, and the first to put them on.

Who waits up until midnight to give the other their present? All of them. Who needs sleep anyway?

Who insists on hand-made presents only one year? Than, but everyone is a bit afraid of what sort of present they have in mind.

Who puts mistletoe on every door frame? Thistle. And she will stand there and refuse to be moved without a kiss.

Who gets too drunk at the work christmas party and has to be picked up at 9:15pm? Tilly and Thistle. Arie carries them both home, one over each shoulder.

who gets angry and almost tells kids that santa isnt real?  Definitely Thistle. And for good measure she shrivels all the oranges in the stockings.

❤️ - Hekhekhek, you know the drill, Lovely!! 😎

Who thinks ridiculously extravagant gifts are the best and who prefers the heartfelt, sentimental gift?I think Nadia leans SLIGHTLY more toward extravagant and Trigon leans much more strongly toward sentimental, but part of me thinks they rub off on each other so their gifts end up being a mix of both these things.

Who won’t stop saying “I love you” and making big, goopy puppy eyes?Nadia does because again Trigon isn’t the sort to actually say it verbally, but he’d show his appreciation by giving her kiss everytime she says it so I mEAN ENCOURAGEMENT TO SAY IT MORE???

What’s the most extreme thing either would do for a kiss (or Klondike bar)?Probably interrupted an important meeting because Trigon would do that if he was frustrated enough let’s be real.

Who gets the obligatory cute stuffed animal?NADIA GETS ALL OF THE STUFFED ANIMALS.

Who would get a big bouquet of red roses?Trigon, because Nadia actually gets the one up on him in this case.

Who would eat an entire box of Valentine’s chocolate?THEY SHARE IT OR THEY FIGHT OVER IT THERE IS NO INBETWEEN.

Who writes the really sappy, romantic poetry?Nadia does but it turns into an epic narrative poem and then she’s embarrassed by it and then Trigon finds it and the teasing is NEVER ENDING but based on what she writes she might find herself having the most amazing sex e v e r .

Who actually likes those chalk-tasting hearts with cornball messages?We have already covered that Trigon hates them so to tease him Nadia hides them in strategic places and he finds them at the most inopportune moments and just GROANS.

Who sneaks home early to put up candles and scatter rose petals everywhere in the name of ROMANCE?Nadia might be able to get Trigon a bouquet but she will never beat him home for rose petal scattering and candle lighting and hopefully she doesn’t faint from dizziness because you know Trigon’s gonna’ please her till she sees stars.

Who is the wine connoisseur that insists on “only the best” for their meal?At first I thought Trigon but then Nadia knows the Dalaran and Azeroth wines a lot better than him so he would let her do this.

Who believes that Valentine’s Day is a corporate, soulless Hallmark holiday but still secretly enjoys it anyway?They both do and they both don’t care.

Do they watch bad chick flicks or horror movies (any excuse for close cuddling)?They probably try to watch horror movies but Trigon gets bored and starts fondling Nadia under her clothes so like they give up on that pretty quick (and I guess it leads to MORE than cuddling but y’know).

Do they make reservations at the expensive, ritzy restaurant or prepare a home-cooked meal?RESERVATIONS because Trigon.

Do they go to bed early or stay up all night?Go to bed early they both need their sleep but I mean early morning sex why not.

Do they end up cuddling on the couch or heatedly making out?Heatedly making out there is no alternative for these two.
