THESE CAN BE READ AS PLATONIC OR ROMANTICALLY!!

╰┈➤𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐲𝐧

She can handle being all cuddly to a certain extent, before she rolls away to have her own space. Though, she’ll always have some sort of touch with you. That being a hand on your waist or thigh, or even her foot touching yours. (Red confirmed Ashlyn to have autism)

You better hope she doesn’t have any nightmares in her sleep time before transporting to the Phantom world, because if she does she jolts so fast her hair is gonna literally whip you.

This girl is skin and bones, so she’s probably not the warmest to snuggle up to. But she makes that up with wearing nice and soft things, like hoodies, PJ bottoms, and fuzzy socks.

When she’s in a comfortable position with you, she probs drools.

╰┈➤ 𝐀𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧

Sleeping/cuddling with Aiden is a very humbling experience.

He watches tiktoks with you because he thinks it’s a bonding experience while you guys snuggle. (just ignore his fyp it’s cursed…)

Before you guys cuddle, you have to force him to take his contacts out because every cuddle sesh ends up with the two of you falling asleep.

But when he sleeps with them in his eyes become all dried when he wakes up.

(Red also confirmed Aiden to have contacts, because he’s blinder than a bat, and it’s also why his eyes are red because his contacts are coloured.)

Like Ashlyn, he drools… but not just a small bit like the ginger. He’s drooling fucking RIVERS.

He moves about in his sleep, like a lot. And when he settles, it’s only for like a maximum of 4 mins before he’s squirming around like a worm again.

BLANKET HOG ALERT!! WEE WOO WEE WOO. If you ever wake up cold, you’re gonna turn to see Aiden with YOUR OWN blanket cuddling up with the whole damn blanket cuz he srsly subconsciously wrapped himself a cocoon.

When you guys are cozying up together, he’s literally in top of you like the human version of a weighted comforter.

And if you feel suffocated with him on top of you, he’s pressed up to your like a leech looking for affection. I’m talking limbs tangled together and every thing.

╰┈➤ 𝐁𝐞𝐧

He’s such a teddy bear!! ^_^

AND HE’S SO WARM OMFG, ITS CRIMINALLY INSANE HOW COZY THIS GUY IS. A literal damn furnace.

For being such a big guy, you’d automatically think he liked being big spoon. BUT THAT IS FALSE INFORMATION HE LIKES BEING LITTLE SPOON!!

If you knew him before the accident, he used to hum you to sleep as you guys snuggled!!

And when he eventually does fall asleep while cuddling he goes so still like he turned into a rock.

It feels like sleeping next to a dead body…

Except the dead body is incredibly warm instead of being all cold. And if the deceased body had a vice grip on you like I’d be let go you’d disappear.

╰┈➤ 𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫

THIS CUTIE IS SUCH A SNUGGLE BUG!!

This girl is full of sm love and affection, she loves to show her appreciation for someone through physical touch!

She makes sure that not only she’s comfy, but you are too! Like you guys could be snuggling on a Rocky Mountain and she’d still make it comfortable.

Like Ashlyn she’ll always make sure to have a hand on you, even if you guys are firmly pressed aging eachother like sardines in a can.

╰┈➤ 𝐓𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫

Whines that he hates cuddling, saying it’s sappy and cringy… But then whines again when you aren’t cuddling up…

He likes to keep his ‘I’m a tough guy’ act on, so he’ll not initiate a cuddle sesh. It’s either gonna have to be you start it, or he’s sick and doesn’t give af.

Unlike Ben, he prefers being big spoon, since he just likes holding you closely to his chest while you guys spoon. Thinks it’s very intimate.

If you tease him about how he comes like putty when you guys cuddle, he’ll get all pouty and push you away. (Only to be back in your arms in 3 minutes time…)

╰┈➤ 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐧

ANOTHER ONE WHOS A TOTAL CUTIE PATOOTIE ‘BOUT IT!!

But so, so, so painfully awkward…

BUT!! He’s cozy, and has the COMFIEST pillows and blankets lying around it’s insane.

He deffo had one of them cool star projectors that make the room look like space. It’s the coolest.

When you guys start cuddling his glasses stay on, but if it turns into a small snooze they get lost and you guys have to dig through the blankets to find them to he can see, cause without them this bitch turns into Velma from Scooby Doo.

Sleeping habits and headcanons…La Squadra edition (x reader)

Dating/married depending on character

Content: smoking, drinking, overall pretty fluffy but Prosciutto is kinda a jerk, includes most of La Squadra (-Sorbet and Gelato)

Formaggio: He kinda just does whatever he wants in the evenings, as long as it’s fun or relaxing. If he decides to go out, you’ve gotten used to him coming back early in the morning (think 1-2 a.m. when the bars usually close) and just collapses next to you in bed, passing out pretty much immediately like he doesn’t have a care in the world.

Don’t bother trying to wake him up to make him change into something more comfortable, he’s completely out. And he snores loud too.

If he stays in, he likes spending some quality time with you. But nothing too emotionally engaging, something like turning on a movie and cuddling on the couch, or enjoying a drink with you before turning in for the night.

He’s a bit clingy when he shares a bed with you, an arm around your waist and his face against the back of your neck. It’s just because it’s most comfortable for him to use you as a pillow, but it feels kinda romantic sometimes.

He doesn’t wake up at any particular time, sometimes a reasonable hour, sometimes sleeping well into the morning. If he wants to keep sleeping and you try to wake him up, he’ll get a bit grumpy with you and just shoo you away until he’s ready to get up.

Illuso: Has a whole nighttime routine for his hair and skin, and he’s particular about it, so don’t interrupt him or he’ll get annoyed.

It doesn’t take him too long, and it’s kinda amusing to see how much effort he puts into his appearance but then sleeps with little elegance. He sleeps with a sleep mask, and tends to be a blanket hog, also particular about the room he’s sleeping in too. Despite using a sleep mask he’s insistent on the room being completely dark, and he’ll complain if he thinks you’re moving around too much. At least when he’s out he’s a pretty heavy sleeper.

He sleeps in, and wakes up slowly. If you try to talk to him when he first wakes up you’ll just get some incomprehensible mumbling in reply.

Prosciutto: He smokes a lot, smokes to wind down in the evening too. You’ve had to tell him “don’t do that in the bedroom, darling,” more times than you can count. You don’t really think there needs to be a compromise…he should just go outside…but you know it’s not worth arguing with him. Fine. He can just open the bedroom window. You’ve gotten used to it by now.

You regret giving him a shoulder massage one evening early in your marriage when you thought he seemed a little tense. Now he expects it every night, and will get a bit annoyed with you if you don’t do it.

For how much of a hardened gangster he was, he sure was needy when it was just you and him alone.

He’s not really cuddly, and typically only tolerates it when he initiates. If you really want some physical contact, then he’ll let you snuggle against his chest, and that’s only sometimes.

He naturally wakes up early, around 5:30ish, and makes you wake up when he does because he’s just the WORST ugh.

Pesci: He goes to bed so much earlier than the others, Prosciutto makes fun of him for it but who’s laughing when Pesci is the only member of the team with any energy left in the evening?

He’ll go to bed without you if you stay up late, and when you do join him he’s a fairly heavy sleeper, so you usually don’t accidentally wake him up.

He moves around a lot in his sleep, you tend to get nudged during the night.

You get used to it, eventually. And it’s okay because he wakes up earlier than you so you get some guaranteed peace in the morning.

He’s aware of when you typically wake up, so if you drink coffee he’ll have one ready for you before you climb out of bed.

Melone: You imagine he’d stay up all night if you weren’t there to encourage him to go to sleep. He goes to bed when you do. Because he loves you Soooo much and is Very clingy so all of his wind down time is spent within your vicinity if you happen to be home at the same time as him. He’s usually staring at screens, typing away on his computer doing who knows what. If he’s not being super touchy and cuddly with you, he likes just existing in your presence, you doing your thing while he does his.

He has a bit of a nighttime routine, skincare specifically, but mostly he just likes watching you go through your routine.

He is super clingy in the bed with you, his hands slipping under your shirt so he can feel your skin, and his legs wrapped around yours. You can barely move once Melone starts snuggling you, but you’re used to it at this point.

A pretty light sleeper, if you get up in the middle of the night for any reason he’ll probably wake up too.

He wakes up in the morning when you wake up. If you choose to sleep in, even if he wakes up he’ll stay in bed with you until you’re ready to start the day. If you ask him he’ll get up and make you a coffee.

Ghiaccio: It doesn’t matter what time he goes to bed at, because his alarm is always set to go off at an ungodly hour.

It drives you crazy to hear that beeping at like 3:30 in the morning, but he really needs his alone time in the morning so you just let it be. He turns it off and disappears in just a few minutes, and by the time you wake up he’s usually back from whatever he had left the apartment to do.

He’s on edge most of the time, so he has a hard time winding down at night. There’s a decent chance that spending time even with you might frustrate him, so before bed he gets some exercise and then takes a shower while you get ready for bed separately.

Unless you have something you need to discuss with him you both tend to keep to yourselves in the evening. He doesn’t cuddle, and his body runs cold, so you tend to scoot closer to him only when you’re feeling warm at night.

He twitches and yells in his sleep sometimes. You’ve gotten used to it to an extent, but occasionally you can’t take it and have to wake him up.

Risotto Nero: He’s so quiet and still when he sleeps that sometimes it’s like he’s not even in the bed anymore. He’s so light a sleeper that he wakes up immediately whenever you stir in any way. He asks you why you’re touching his arm, but you were just seeing if he was still with you.

He’s not cuddly at night. If you really want to cling to him he won’t object, but it does make sleeping a bit harder for him.

He doesn’t need a lot of sleep. He gets up really early in the morning, always careful to not disturb you, and immediately gets to work; managing an assassination squad requires a lot of his attention.

You tell him he really should get more sleep, but he’s so used to his routine that it would be difficult to change at this point. He appreciates the concern, but really, he’s fine.

Lando being obsessed with poking your baby bump cause he just loves how matilda always kicks his hand when he does it🫠

Cw: reader's pregnant

"I had to spend the whole meeting standing up because she kept kicking if I sat down", you groaned as Lando poked your baby bump, fingers tapping the skin as Matilda kicked back.

"She's a very excited little lady, aren't you?", he spoke just above your belly button, kissing the skin as she kicked everytime he touched you somewhere, "but you have to behave for mummy, okay? She's doing such a great job at making sure you're growing well and she's keeping you safe. So no kicking, okay? At least no kicking unless daddy is near", he said as she kicked into his palm that settled near your hip.

.

"Enough of hogging my wife, please!", Lando said to his mother, who as soon as she walked into your living room proceeded to hug you and ask you all the questions.

"We're not hogging", Flo defended them, "we just want to know how our two favourite Norris are doing", she teased him, sitting next to you.

"Me and baby girl haven't even had our greeting today", Lando recalled. Because he had picked them up from the airport, he left you asleep on the bed, not touching the baby bump because he knew it would cause you to wake up, and right now, you should get all the rest you could get.

Landing his palm soflty by your belly button, the baby was quick to kick, wiggling around at the voices around her, "Oh, look at that!", Cisca cooed, noticing the movements since the strappy top your were was thin enough for them to see the movements, "Hi, Matilda, good morning, beautiful girl", Lando cooed.

.

Lando made sure that you were as comfortable as you could be in the garage so you could watch the race from there. The chair had padding everywhere you needed, a cup holder for your bottle of water and strategically placed so the fan would keep you cool but not cause you to get a sore throat or chills.

"LANDO!", one of the mechanics called, "we need you in the car in two minutes!". It was enough for him to approach you, letting you kiss his lips good luck along with him kissing your left ring finger, a little pre race tradition you started on the first race you watched on the paddock.

"And you, little one, one last kick and wiggle before daddy goes and wins this race for you and mummy, okay?", he said as he poked your baby bump, Matilda kicking back immediately, "daddy loves you so much, Tilly", he cooed, kissing the top of your head one last time.

"Is she having a dance party of her own again?", Adam asked you as he replaced your bottle of water with a new one, "thank you, and yes, yes, she is. She actually slows down a little when the cars start going on the track, but until then it's Matilda Norris' dancing and kicking party, isn't it, my love?", you poked your bump back.

(Thank you for your submission ✨️)

i love it when people apply the whole “humans are space orcs” idea to transformer humans.

jack, miko and raf just doing regular, average day things that make the bots both extremely worried and unsettled gives me so much brainrot.

I got you here. I love this kind of lore/reaction ask.

Each of the children have a particular habit that bothers the team more than anything else. Can it be explained? Not really. All humans do the things they do. But for the bots, it is strange and out of sorts all the same.

Miko always carries around a bottle of sparkling water. She adores the stuff. The team, despite knowing it is not what the name implies, are still horrified with her drinking habits. Not to mention, they can't help but wonder where all the liquid goes. She drinks up to three whole bottles of water a day. In her own words "Hydrate or die." That in it of itself is concerning since the team, while well aware that humans need water, do not know how much they need exactly. The team are down right terrified of her ability to down water like a dry sponge. How can such a small fleshy even consume that much? They aren't entirely sure. Not only that, but if she drinks that much, then are Jack and Rafael getting enough? They can't be.

Not only does Miko down water like a bone dry houseplant, she also drinks just about anything else too. The team have seen her chug sodas which contain Primus knows how many strange chemicals and compounds. They've observed her willingly drink things that no other would on bets, including food that has been blended and watered down just because Jack wanted to see if it was possible for her to down hotdog cafeteria milk cheeto apple slurry.

Yes the team are terrified of humans and their ability to put anything inside themselves and walk it off. But more than any other, they fear Miko. Who knows what she's consumed.

All the kids do it, but Jack is the most notable since when he needs to go to the restroom, he makes it loud and clear mainly so that someone knows to keep an eye on Miko. The team are aware that organics have a need to manually handle removing waste since their systems are rather inefficient, however there is a certain level of mysteriousness surrounding the restrooms. The bots don't want to watch or even know HOW the humans get rid of waste, but they do know that THINGS happen in the restroom that seem to either be painful, emotional, refreshing, or aggravating. No one can really be sure what reaction will follow those who enter the space. Sometimes Jack or one of the other kids will go in there seemingly to just be alone.

It is a strange and almost sacred location where strange happenings occur. Miko went in once with bloody clothes and emerged with a fresh set before Ratchet could figure out what was wrong in the first place. Jack went in once and came out an hour later looking like he'd gone to war after he convinced Arcee to let him stop and get takeout the night before. Rafael took his charger and computer in there and hogged the space for a while to get away from the others once. The team does not know what happens in there, but it is mildly concerning since it either repairs or breaks a person.

Bulkhead theorizes that its a pocket dimension like the shadow zone. Ratchet refuses to think about it. Optimus will say nothing about whatever he knows. Arcee and Bee assume its a safe haven or sorts and Wheeljack is almost certain they keep weapons in there. Ultra Magnus and Smokescreen both agree that the restroom is simply a quiet space where a human can deal with personal issues in peace.

No bot is willing to try and confirm anything since humans flip out at any attempts to view the supposedly sacred ground.

Rafael is generally pretty good about flying under the radar most of the time, but he has a habit that has caught the team's attention. Humans have been noted doing what they can to clean themselves on their own. Its rather ineffective to clean one's own venting openings with digits considering the sheer amount of germs involved, but it is not out of the question to do so when a cleaning cloth is not available. Rafael occasionally and quietly trying to clean his nose is not what bothers the team.

No what horrifies them is the goop that he pulls out after his attempt at cleaning. What Ratchet has studied states that the goop is referred to by a number names, but is commonly called snot. Its the natural germ catcher humans have, but it still unsettles the team whenever Rafael quietly blows a few or when one of the others grabs a tissue and makes a rather disgusting sound as they try to clear their airways.

The goop reminds the team of any number of horrible things. But the sheer amount of GROSS within a small amount of the stuff has left the team all gagging whenever they find the stuff around base. Rafael is usually good about being clean, but sometimes he gets lazy and will use his chair to hide his cleaning attempts. Bumblebee has almost purged a few times seeing the marks on the chair from where Rafael may or may not have wiped his fingers.

Is he twelve? Yes. Is he fully mature? No. That much is evident just by looking at his chair.

txt - how they propose

a/n: I got inspo to write this when dates dropped for the tour! i am not officialy in posession of a pre-sale code and im hoping to get some good tickets!! i will come back with an update (LA moa's lets talk :) anyways, please enjoy! this piece was meant to be really sweet and even silly at times so please let me know what you think of it! as always, inbox is open.

yeonjun

at a fancy dinner

yeonjun is really excited when it comes to fancy, romantic outings but this one was going to be the best one of all. Of course, that’s because of his proposal plans. He is definitely the kind of guy that sort of spoils it or gives hints because he tells you to go out and get your nails, hair, etc… done. especially emphasizes getting your nails done. He covers it up by saying he loves seeing you all pretty and pampered but deep down, you sort of know what he’s hinting at. Anyways, moving on to dinner. He takes you to a fancy new restaurant that just opened in the city. It was on the top floor of some fancy building. There was a view of the city from where you both were seated at a small booth. He was sitting right next to you and talking your ear off about the day he’d had at work. He didn;t even drink, opting to let you order a drink so he can drive home. He buys you whatever you want to eat and watches you enjoy your food with those adorable, lovesick eyes. You whine at him to stop watching you but he says he can’t help but watch the love of his life. Eventually, he takes you out onto the patio of this restaurant and it was pretty empty since there were only a few more couples around. He takes in the view with you and asks you to take a cute video with him. He sets up his phone at a good angle and presses the record. He goes back to you and kisses your cheek. He takes your distraction as an opportunity to pull the ring out of his pants pocket and when he pulls away, he gets down on one knee and proposes. “Will you do me the biggest favor ever and be my Mrs. Choi?” 

soobin 

at home

Soobin was never one for big romantic gestures and he was happy that you were okay with it. His ideal date was at home, snuggled up on the couch or in a pillow fort, watching movies or playing video games together. sure, he did take you on little outings once in a while but he preferred staying home. When it came to his proposal plans, his logic was to stay home, plan and cook a little dinner and use all the extra money to buy you the prettiest ring he could find. He loved the whole ring shopping process “i know this probably isn't from some of the members. anyways, he tells you of his date plans for the night and you were into it. He tells you to dress normally with one of his hoodies and your favorite sweatpants or leggings (soobin loves your legs in leggings btw. he said so). you come in and he is dressed relaxed as well in those gray sweats you liked and a t-shirt you gave him as part of his birthday gift. He serves your dinners and then he takes you to his bed, getting comfortable together. after one episode of that new anime the both of you had started, he turns over to get something from his nightstand. he shuffles to sit on his knees and reveals the box to you, opening it shortly after. "i know this probably isn't the best proposal but we’ve had such a nice night. I love spending time at home with you. can we be homebodies together, forever?'' You nod and hug him super tight and he returns the hog. He gives you a sweet kiss after putting the ring on your finger and you two go back to watching your show and cuddling.

beomgyu

theme / amusement park

This man is so cute when it comes to a proposal. Let’s just say for the sake of this story that he takes you on an LA trip and you both have a knotts berry farm day! You two decided to skip out on disney because you two have already been together on a previous trip. You both also really wanted to see all of the snoopy memorabilia. You both have an amazing day getting on rides, drinking boysenberry juice and talking to each other the whole time. He loves seeing you so happy so he never says no to you not once that whole day. He lets you drag him to all of the performances happening at the park and even lets you take a picture of him with Snoopy, making finger guns at one another. As the day starts to wind down, you both decided to go souvenir shopping. Huening specifically requested a snoopy t-shirt so you both went to find him one. Beomgyu asks you to pick the t-shirt and he stays behind to find a snoopy plush to include in his proposal. He finds one and pays for it, as well as the requested souvenir you picked. He takes you back out to the park and you both take a seat to rest for a while before leaving the park. You take out your phone and dont notice when he turns around. He takes the plush out of the store bag and the ring out of his bag. He puts it in the plushies hand and turns back around. He taps your shoulder and you are met with a snoopy with an engagement ring in his hand. “Will you marry me, pretty lady?” he says in a high pitched voice and you gasp so loud that people turn around to look. You are absolutely red but you nod and beomgyu makes the plush put the ring on your finger. You call him a dork but he doesn't mind. He's your dork, forever. 

taehyun

at the beach

you and taehyun went to the beach often. it was always so quiet, especially when you two visited at night. These outings were frequent, especially when you both went to travel somewhere different. In this case though, you were both home in Korean. Taehyun was on a small break during the summer time before their next tour and he decided that now was as good as ever to propose. He drove the both of you to your favorite beach at around 8pm. On the way there, you both made stops to get dinner and then to pick up some snacks to enjoy while hanging out at the beach. Once you both get there, Taehyun sets up your beach blanket and you both sit down, starting to snack on some grapes. Taehyun took about 30 minutes before he decided to ask you. He scoots close to you and pulls the little box out of his bag. you give him a confused look and he opens it, looking at your shocked reaction. He wanted to give a whole speech but his words got stuck in his throat when he saw your reaction. you say yes to him and he hugs you, slipping the ring on after.

huening kai

in your hometown / family dinner

I think kai is really big when it comes to family so having your family present for such a big event was important for him. Not only that, it was also really important for him to get along with your family and have their approval. So, during this trip to your hometown over a winter break, he sends you off to go shopping with your close cousin/sibling. He takes this opportunity to gather the rest of your family and ask for their approval to propose to you and of course they say yes! They even help him plan a whole thing. They were excited to see that he loved you a lot and cared enough to ask for their opinions and approval. This especially swayed your parents, who came up to him after and had a little chat with him about what they’d do if he ever hurt you. Moving on….you come back home from shopping and you show kai all your finds! Later on that night, your family is all gathered together in the backyard around a bonfire, having drinks and chatting. After a little while, your family gives kai strange looks and you’re sitting there absolutely confused. Kai looked over at you and smiled, “hey baby. I wanna ask you something. Will you do me a big honor and marry me?” he pulls out the ring and as soon as you say yes, he slips it on your finger and everyone cheers!

kpop demon hunters but survival show edition.

gwi-ma is upset that the saja boys failed. however, seeing how close they were from turning the honmoon red, gwi-ma decided to start experimenting. if one group can fuck them up like that, then what if it was multiple?

cue all or nothing, a gg kpop survival show.

nugus & upcoming groups go head to head for first place. it's kinda like queendom where the prize is just exposure (tbh, idk what the reward would be, but let's pretend it's something huge)

the girls are taking their breaks. it's been a while since they came out with some new stuff, but the fans understand.

bobby hits the girls up & tells them that they should start doing promo for their new stuff. bobby tells them that it's a survival show coming out & they should join.

the girls IMMEDIATELY start getting nostalgic. rookie huntrix got popular due to them being on a survival show. they won, people started paying attention to them more, they ended up getting fans, and the rest is history.

ofc they agree. plus, it's a little something for the og fans.

bobby is not told that this survival show is for nugus & upcoming groups. he is told that it's simply for girl groups.

so, when they walked in the arena/stadium/whatever tf survival shows use, everyone is shocked. "omg huntrix??" the girls assume that they're judges. when huntrix say that they're not, some of the girls start to feel discouraged.

basically, girls begin to quit & leave b/c 1) this huge girl group is here & they know that they're going to win. 2) THIS HUGE GG IS HERE & IT'S FOR NUGUS.

rumi convinces the girls into staying. she's all like, "do you guys think that we didn't feel discouraged when these big girl groups went against us?" basically reminding them that they were rookies once & everyone starts out somewhere.

this one girl group comes up to them. they're the same age as huntrix. they're also a trio. they come to them like, "omg, we're huge fans. we hope to be success as you guys. yadda yadda yadda" obvs, the girls are happy abt this. then one of them is like "can't wait to beat you!" and the whole vibe is off from there.

so, the situation here is that there are demons mixed in with the humans. sorta like the saja boys, but it's wayyyy more. with the saja boys, it was only group they had to worry about. the demons are acting really humanoid (kinda like jinu). it's not like saja where it's just one dude putting in the work.

you got demons mixed in with the human girls. demon groups, human groups. the girls are trying to figure out how to kill the demons without looking like they're killing random contestants.

huntrix gets criticism b/c they're a popular group in a show made for nugus. ppl think they're trying to hog all the spots. bobby asks if they want to drop out, but the girls decline his request.

huntrix is forced to get out of their comfort zone. their concept is changed with the rounds & cover songs they do.

demons are coming up the girls & constantly bringing up how things used before they got huge.

"hey, zoey. don't you think it's weird that you write the songs, but you barely have any lines?" "mira, you're such a talented singer. it's funny that you used to have almost as many lines rumi did when you guys started." "don't you guys find it weird that rumi got all the lines?"

mira falls in love with a contestant & gets absolutely shattered when she gets eliminated (fans & the media says they're friends)

rumi's visions get worse.

contestants start to get "quit" as the show goes on.

rumi kills a demon that was in a human group. the demon says that she wanted to become an idol just like rumi. rumi immediately feels guilty.

zoey kills a demon, but a contestant sees. now, zoey has to convince this girl that she didn't just kill a random girl.

nostalgia eats the girls up. they start thinking about all the shit they went through in order to get to where they are now.

2468 we appreciate YOU Ro!

3+1 for my space husband Mace. 3 times he didn't say 'I love you' and the one time he did. I give you complete freedom, except please don't send him to his movie fate🙏

*I don't think there are any warnings for this one. Please let me know if you find something I missed!

Not During The Storm

The group of friends out that night ballooned the more clubs they hit. You're a friend-three-times-removed, and Mace honestly couldn't make a chart of how he should know you. You make a hell of a first impression though when the power goes out on the metro and your section grinds to a halt mid-tunnel.

You all are stuck, and no one knows for how long.

Everyone else panics. A couple of people start crying, spouting the worst case scenario. One poor kid--the younger brother of his friend's favorite cousin, Mace thinks--actually throws up in the corner and won't stop apologizing.

Mace has a handkerchief (because it's a very useful thing to have for all sorts of situations) and you have a water bottle (because you're having a night out drinking and that's a useful thing to have), so together, you two make the kid a cloth to wipe his mouth and lay over his neck.

You are composed and practical. Mace thinks to say he loves you as a joke, but really, he's impressed. Instead, he just chats with you while Lord of the Flies begins ten feet away, then the power comes back on. The moment passes. He has a friend.

2. Not After The Meal

He cooks for the group--a potluck actually--and what he brings doesn't get touched for an entire hour. Mace is stressed. He didn't necessarily have time to cook something properly, but he did his best.

Somehow his food is being overlooked and avoided, so he gives up. He plays a game in the other room until he needs a drink refill, and there you are, going hog on his offering.

One of your favorite comfort foods, you say. He should really try it.

You don't even know he made it, so the hyping and gushing is genuine. After such an isolating day, that's everything to Mace, and he could tell you he loves you.

But he doesn't. He doesn't even tell you he can make your comfort food anytime you like.

3. Not During The Drive

You were stranded after a date went from bad to worse.

Technically, Mace wasn't the first person you called because he'd already told you the guy was crap, but none of that matters. Mace picked you up anyway.

You were so emotional and grateful, assuming it was a burden for him to help you at this hour, making some good progress to recognize the self-destructive behaviors in relationships that had gotten you to this point. He sees you trying so hard to get it all done, professionally and personally, and he knows that feeling.

He loves to see you making the right choices, he loves your vulnerability and honesty, and he loves how comfortable you are with him. James Mace, however, has never told any woman he loves her, ever (save his own mother).

That would make the night about him, not just you, too, so he can't say it now.

4. After The Party

You host him a birthday dinner at your place because you know he feels invaded when too many people are at his small home. Under the guise of staying to help you clean up, he hesitates till he's got his bag of gifts, poised at the door.

"Get everything you wanted?" you quip with a smile.

What he wants is to stop stalling. He wants a kiss.

"Was hoping for something...from you," he barely gets out.

"Spoiled!" You poke at him playfully. "Greedy! Mace, I just threw you a whole party with cake and cookies and everything!"

He puts down the tote of gags, gift cards, and two nice bottles of whisky, muttering more, "I know, I know. It's fine." He leans in innocently, goes for your cheek softly, sweetly, and licks his lips as he returns to stance.

His favorite thing is to see you smile, and he'll admit he's been spoiled by that tonight thoroughly.

"Oh, okay--" your hand latches to the door handle, turning "--I guess you can have that, birthday boy."

Mace takes a deep breath.

"I love you," he says with assurance, complete confidence that he means the words and that you need to hear them. "I love you, and...and I want to know what you feel...for me...as a present."

You bite your tongue a moment.

"As in do I feel you are a good present or you wish to know my feelings in lieu of a present?"

You're really going to pull the semantics shit on him now???

Mace turns hot all over instantly, flinging the back back over his shoulder, and moving to leave.

"Forget it," he all but growls.

"Hang on." You push against the door and wedge yourself in his path. "Not so fast. I... Give me a sec, okay? We aren't all astronauts and engineers."

He's close enough that the big sigh Mace lets out has his chest brushing yours. There's an excruciating silence where he deliberately avoids your eyes.

"Hey," you purr to get his attention. "I have a present for ya."

One of your fingers raises to tap your lips, and his body moves much faster than his brain.

The bottles in the bag clank together loud enough to drown out what you whisper into his mouth.

Mace breaks away to swallow and shift the back back to the floor. "What?"

"I said--" your hands bracket his face, thumbs rubbing along the stubble on his cheeks "--I love you, too."

Sylus dressing up and having mc's dress at the ready too because he knew the church would fade and he wanted to exchange his vows with her there was so....and his face when the church starts to crumble....this was his home with her for a while and she has no idea about that

but then when they're running and he grabs her wrist instead of only holding her hand because that's probably how they got separated when they ran from the arena, they were just kids and he didn't have the strenght to hold her, so now he makes sure to grab her wrist and then pull her to him AND use his evol so they'd land safely

and that kiss...

I'd seen a lot of opinions on how guilty sylus felt for falling in love with this mc, who was not his sorcerer, but it was his mc all the same. and that he shoulders the burden of remembering their past-future life due to the curse.

So the church crumbling, his vows, their love--he's letting go of the guilt of loving her with all his might again.

Even in the nebula, after they got separated, he was banking everything on her remembering at least this time. And yet she was disgusted by him at first.

But now they found each other. And the cutest thing is how we can see his fear melting away too. He who once mocked her little games (ok he did that once in st 'crying wolf' where she was playing a game to try and sleep and he wanted to spend time with her lol)

But he's now a certified gamer. a certified loverboy who games and sucks at it but it's ok cause she's there with him.

Also, mc turning all her men into gamers is diva behavior. Although zayne and caleb also probably played with her when they were little. wouldn't surprise me if caleb was the one who introdyced gaming to her.

And xavier who's a beast without even trying??

So that leaves sy and raf. Raf might not game but he hogs the claw machine and I enable him because he once said he never got to do any of this since he literally lived under the sea so it's fine

So back to sy...

I know you welcome hcs of the toddlers so I hope i'm not being too bold here

but you know those stupid school assigments we'd get at school about what we want to be once we grow up and they had us read that shit outloud for extra points, sometimes it was a whole thing and our parents had to come and hear us

anyway, imagine it's little birdie and she's like "Well I want to be a hunter like my mommy cause she's really strong..." and she's very moved and sylus is holding her hand and squeezing it because of course, mc is amazing.

AND THEN

little birdie goes on "and I also want to be a singer because daddy sings to me, sometimes when i'm really scared, and he always chases the bad dreams away and make the good ones stay 😊"

and sylus is caught SO OFF GUARD and he's so emotional over his little girl that he knows if he so much glances at his wife who is not at all being shy about crying a little, he's gonna cry as well and it's not that he cares if a bunch of moms or dads see skye, owner of a really great fruit business cry, it's just that he's afraid if he starts, he might not stop

because when did he get so lucky?

but his eyes are watering a little and the presentation is over and the kids are getting off stage, little birdie leaps from it right into her daddy's arms and he gives her kisses on the cheek and tells her he loves her and I'm going off with my yapping here

just need him to be happy 😭😭😭

I do welcome other HCs of the toddlers. :D

🥺🥺🥺 this is so sweet omg, Little Miss here has no idea how much of a hold she has on her daddy's heart. I imagine Sylus would replay recordings of her presentation and just remember this moment always. 🥹

[tmntheadcanons]

tmnt 2003 headcanons: sleeping

Leo:

The room needs to be pitch black, dead silent and ice cold for him to fall asleep.

And he is a very light sleeper. I feel like he was always a bit like this but also trained himself to wake up quickly and easily when he hears something.

And he sleeps straight on his back like he is in a coffin.

And he sleeps with one pillow and it's the same, flat pillow he has been using for the last 10 years.

He won't go to sleep unless he knows everyone is home.

I think the difference between him and Donnie would be that Donnie doesn't let himself sleep but Leo actually can't sleep. I feel like he's naturally a bit of an insomniac but when he tries to sleep he kinda spirals in his own thoughts and stresses himself out.

But it's not always stress that keeps him up it'll be like the song Mikey was singing the same four lines of all day is now violently stuck in his head keeping him awake and he's thinking about how he is going to murder his brother in the morning.

Mikey:

Sleeps with a minimum of 5 pillows. One for spooning, two for his head, one for his feet and one to violently throw off the bed while half asleep at 3 am.

He can really sleep anywhere though. (And he will)

He talks in his sleep. He'll mutter a lot of non-sensical stuff and also he'll sometimes just straight up laugh in his sleep. And he rolls around a lot during the night.

I think Mikey has the wackiest dreams. His dreams are very vivid and if someone shows up in his dream he will go out of his way to tell them about their guest star appearance in his absolutely off the wall bonkers dream.

Also he is the one who has the most nightmares

He likes to sleep with a little bit of noise. He likes the tv playing or music playing while he's falling asleep and if it's dead silent he'll find it a little unsettling.

Same with lights, he likes to have a lava lamp or some sort of soft light on in the room.

I think he would go absolutely feral for one of those galaxy project lights.

Also he's totally a blanket hog.

Raph:

The second his head hits the pillow he is out.

He could be mid conversation and just pass out. But it's only ever when he knows he can. He's good at staying awake if he needs to keep watch but if he's relaxed he can fall asleep in like 30 seconds.

And he sprawls out when he sleeps. He will starfish.

Or be half hanging off the bed.

And he violently snores.

And talks a little bit in his sleep too but not as much as Mikey, just every once in a while.

His dreams are super mundane. He'll come back from an absolutely wild experience, fall asleep and then dream about like doing the dishes.

But every once in a while he'll get a bad stress dream. I could see it being something social related like humans finding out about them and freaking out, or his whole family being upset with him because of something he did.

I feel like Raph would like a bit of white noise when he sleeps, like a fan or something. He doesn't need it to fall asleep, but he likes it.

Like Leo, he is also a bit of a light sleeper, but he falls asleep again pretty quickly after he wakes up.

Donnie:

He's good at staying awake for long periods of time but once he's out, he's OUT.

Must be physically shaken to wake him up.

He is frequently sleep deprived so every once in a while he will crash and sleep for like 14 hours. Most nights he goes to bed way too late especially when he's working on something but usually when he's finished he'll have a recovery day.

Like I said with Leo, his issue is that he doesn't let himself sleep. He won't actually go to bed he will just suck back coffee and keep doing what he's doing. However, I could see him having similar issues as Leo after Good Genes or SAINW, where he overworks himself at night to avoid spiraling thoughts while he's trying to fall asleep.

I feel like he's bad for being like "Okay I'm going to stop working and actually go to bed" and then instead of sleeping he sits in the dark on his computer on the internet until 4 in the morning.

He curls up when he sleeps he never sleeps just flat on his back.

But he'll always wakes up in a weird position he'll be like upside town on his bed in what looks like a yoga position and be like "How did I get here?"

Wolfstar Microfic Day 6: Time-Turner

@wolfstarmicrofic

Rating: PG (Angst/Fluff/Grief)

Summary: Remus gets his hands on a black market Time-Turner five years after Sirius ends up in Azkaban and knows exactly what to do with it.

Word count: 645

His fingers are whitening, his grip around the Time-Turner is so tight. And his whole body shakes. When he opens his eyes, he knows that he’s done it. The air is warm and heavy with the smells of dinner cooking in the kitchens below, and it rings out with the laughter and chatter of nearby students. Familiar stone brick surrounds. Five hours. The guy in The Hog’s Head had said he had five hours. And he’d known - as soon as the man mentioned the Time-Turner he’d “somehow” gotten his hands on - that this is what he would do with it.

And, in a moment of pure serendipity, the kind of luck that Remus hasn’t had in a long time, he can hear a distant gleeful rabble, instantly recognisable. He shoves himself into a nearby cupboard, leaving the door open a crack, watching the scene unfold. First, two voices which make his stomach clench.

“Right guys. We’ll see you later. I’m gonna go to the library, you still coming Pete?” It’s James. Lovely, lovely Seventh Year James. He feels nausea rising in his throat. This was such an idiotic idea.

And then: “Yeah, ‘course! Let’s go. See you guys at dinner! Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, Moony. I hope you have honourable intentions for my Padfoot.” It’s Peter. Another squeeze of his heart. This is too much. He suddenly feels claustrophobic and his mouth dries up. He makes to leave the cupboard as he hears young Remus clap back: “Only the best for your daughter, Wormy!”

But the sound of James dissolving into laughter stills him. And the scene unfolding next is one that replays over and over in his dreams. He knows he shouldn’t be dreaming of him. The one who brought death and betrayal in his wake. But Remus is haunted by doubt. Growing around his heart like deadly mould. A fear that their love was one great conspiracy. A lie. An exaggeration. A fairy tale.

As if in response, peering out of the slit in the door, he can see himself, looking awkward and gangly as ever but alive. He feels oddly jealous.

And then Sirius walks into view and it’s like standing under a waterfall, being pummelled by feelings that he’s long been trying to ignore.

He looks beautiful. He always did. Angelic. With his sharp cheek bones, his porcelain skin. His silvery eyes, guiding orbs lighting up his face. His black hair long and shaggy, just how he liked it and Walburga hated it.

He’s rummaging in his pocket. And it’s exactly how he’d remembered it.

“Hey, Moons. I have something for you.” Young Sirius is whispering, his eyes trembling with something so pure. Anticipation on his lips. He continues to retrieve the present from inside of his robes.

“What?” Young Remus looks put out momentarily. “Is it Valentine’s Day? Or my birthday? Or Christmas? Or the anniversary of that time we glued Snivellus’ mouth together just before he had to get up to give a presentation in Charms?”

Sirius is cackling. He catches his breath. “No but god, we should make that an annual festival! No, it’s nothing like that I-... well I’ve just been planning this for a while. And finally decided to…”

He trails off, looking down at the box in front of him. Young Remus is visibly trembling, a grin sticking to his cheeks. Sirius tenderly lifts off the lid, revealing two aged silver chains. One adorned with a small moon charm and the other with a star.

Older Remus can’t even watch anymore because he knows how this goes. He knows that Young Remus chokes up and pulls Sirius into a soft, grateful kiss, cradling his face in his hands. Under his shirt, Older Remus touches his hand to the star charm still dangling from his neck, shudders. And tears fall down his cheeks again.

Why Helluva Boss Failed With Stella When Villainous Succeeded With Sunblast

I would like to describe them as first impression hate sinks/assholes. In their first appearance they are supposed to be hated in order for you to cheer for the protagonists they opposed. They are also shown to be abusive towards the people they targeted in the past and make their lives a living hell.

For Sunblast, he in the pilot is shown to be a bully who uses his status as a hero beat up Penumbra who is trying to plot out the sun because of a condition she and several people in her homecity have. Despite this, it is shown he doesn't really care and just wants the fame and recognition of being a hero. You then cheer when the Villainous trio shrinks him and hands him to Penumbra for her prisoner.

For Stella, our real first impression in the actual series is of her having a strained marriage with her husband. She in the episode is shown to be a rather awful parent by making Stolas go to Octavia alone while hogging the covers. She isn't any better in the present where she throws things at Stolas and yells about him sleeping with an imp which emphasizes how much of a classist she is. From what we are hinted in this episode, she has been a toxic presence to her husband but from her daughter's perspective it's only got started recently when Stolas hints it's never been sunshine and happiness between them. As a result, we are left with strong hints of why Stolas had no hesitation of cheating on her.

Now let's see how they develop over the series in contrast with one another. In episode 6 of Season 1, we see Stella is revealed to have hired Striker to put a hit on her husband regardless of what their daughter would feel. It does show how despicable and petty Stella it also kind of contradicts how the episode of "Murder Family" where it was the same premise for imp to kill a family due to the mother sleeping with a client's husband. As a result, it feels like a confused mix of morals and a case of protagonist centered morality where it's bad if other characters do it but not the main ones. One could say at this point this should have been an indication where Stella goes downhill as a character since they will just vilify her and just make her into the bitter ex-wife who was scorned.

However, one thing that no one expected with Sunblast that he actually would change from being held captive by Penumbra. From here he doesn't stick to being a hate sink like Stella does but instead he gets a new perspective and we get more development as a character. He stops thinking only about himself but also sees how he actually has been hurting a whole community by just pounding on a woman trying to fix a mistake that affected them all. From there on out, we see Sunblast focusing on the journey to become a true hero which is someone who does things because they care for others not because they get a reward for it.

I do think these above images sums up the cemented direction both characters were intended to go in by their creators. Stella's childhood picture is meant to cement she was always bad from the beginning and she wouldn't be given any sort of depth to her as a character except as a one dimensional hate sink who lives to make Stolas miserable. Sunblast's image after Penumbra was kidnapped by Miss Heed is that of someone who has grown to see someone he used to torment as the person he wants to protect the most. It's a case of someone who has the ability to change and also is someone who isn't just a carboard box, but someone who can see the errors of his way and has become a better person. This isn't the case with Stella nothing about her shows she is capable of it and she only gets worse from there, while Sunblast gets better.

This one statement cements what she is all about which is being an obstacle of torment for Stolas. She is not Octavia's mother or anything else, but just Stolas' chain and ball. She can or cannot change because the writer's refuse to give anything but be a horrible spouse to Stolas. As a result, it blatantly show how the attempts at grey morality is more bs and that favored characters only get that view, while also not making sense at all. Stella could have been explored more on her side of being forced to marry someone she doesn't love, but that would mean caring about stuff other than Stolas rather than treat him as a cant do no wrong sad bird. And in an attempt to try address female on male domestic abuse it comes off flat, because of the fact that Stolas had more resources to get away from her and how he could always have her sent away. There is also the factor of domestic abuse being treated by comedy the protagonists which makes this also fall flat. It doesn't jive up when you don't give a reason why she would be able to hold such power over him. It just makes less like a way to depict abuse but more of a reason why we want to hate a character.

Their different developments are a showcase of how both shows actually tackle the themes of grey morality in a setting that seemingly should skew black/white. Helluva Boss has been stated it wants to show grey characters out of hell, but fails when the scorned wife is written to just revolve around tormenting her husband and not given any other expansion on her character and no interaction with her own freaking daughter which could given more insight into her personality besides being a scorned wife. While I was ready for Stella to be bad, when it comes down to it there is nothing you can mine from her character except she fits in those ron the death eater fanfictions you find which derails a canon love interest of a pairing the writer likes.

However, Villainous goes into the grey territory by not just making things black and white by portraying one side as totally good and the other side as devils. It is instead showing how grey the world of Villainous is by sometimes good people forced to become villains due to circumstances in life or at least have redeemable qualities that prevent them from being totally evil. However, even the show admits a lot are still villains and deserve to be stopped. While the heroes have many who are less than good people, those like Sunblast truly have the ability to really become true heroes if they let go of their selfishness and protect those they care about like what happened in "Shrunken Rescue".

That panel right there sums up what development that Sunblast went through in order to come to the realization he hates his past self for hurting Penumbra due to basically using his status as a hero to be a bully. He is shown to regret it and wants to show it by not fighting her directly. Again that is how you get a grey character someone who realizes that they have done wrong in the past and wants to correct it. Sunblast unlike Stella was allowed to reflect and grow, while also going out of their way to see to it that their former victim turned friend is not used by someone who only seeks to abuse them in a different way. Sunblast's developments as a whole shows that an asshole doesn't have to stay static and that they can grow when they either learn of circumstances or learn that their actions have consequences on people. As a result, it really is a heartwrenching scene where you really see how far he has come and understand he deserves now being a hero where no one else would know it because he only cares now she is free and doesn't no longer wish to see her in pain like she was before.

All in all Stella and Sunblast are a great example of demonstrating of how to portray a first glance jerkass character the right and wrong way. Since Western Energy, Stella is just going downhill especially with the fact that the narrative wants to portray her as dumb while her brother is the real brains which again emphasizes the fact that there is nothing more to her character but a device of torment for Stolas. Meanwhile, everything after the pilot shows Sunblast strives as a character who goes to a journey of self-reflection and discovery while understanding the meaning of a true hero. The former comes off as a character who has little to no substance, while the other you see happy he goes from one point to another. As a result, it shows what good/bad writing does for a character like both of them.

Can you give more detail of mini non amnesiac sdr2 dynamic between Makoto and Nagito and how they differ from the amnesia one

Good question! Let me see...

So, in the amnesia version, Nagito is initially coming at it from the perspective of a school mentor meeting his mentee and they both happen to be in a killing game. His vibe there is very much, "So here's the laundry room. People often forget coins in the washing machines. Are you thinking of killing anyone yet? Oh, don't use that dryer; it always takes two runs for it to get things dry."

He does believe that this bad situation will create a good outcome, and he is excited to see what the Ultimates will make of it, but he's not pushing too hard for this to be a despair that creates the greatest hope, because initially this just reads as a pretty normal kidnapping. It's not like SDR2, where everyone has been taken to a secluded island, they're all strangers, memory-wise he's pretty fresh off the news that he's sick, and reality is heightened in a number of ways that make it easy for him to think this is the time to turn coal into diamonds. He knows his classmates, he's spent a year at Hope's Peak, and he's honestly more curious about what happened to allow a killing game to be going on at Hope's Peak than invested in putting his finger on the scale.

After all, the building they're in is definitely Hope's Peak. Maybe this is a test from the faculty. He doesn't know what they're testing exactly, but he can't imagine the lucksters are meant to hog the spotlight. They should act natural and do their best to learn how to be of use.

That changes in Chapter 2, when they see the note that says Hope's Peak closed down a year ago. At that point, memory loss is on the table, and also Hope's Peak as an institution is contextually under threat. Monokuma said right in the beginning that he was doing this for "despair", but now Nagito knows it's probably not Hope's Peak using despair as a tool to make the Ultimates greater; the Ultimates are the delegates of Hope's Peak, against this third party. They need to beat Monokuma and whoever's behind him.

Unfortunately, in order to do that, he still believes they need to use the despair of the killing game as a means of strengthening their hope, so from then on it's Nagito in SDR2 mode trying to be a stepping stone for the participants while Makoto's insistence that that's not right gradually causes Nagito to realize that the hope he's been looking for has been right there all along.

Throughout that whole version of the AU, Nagito continues to treat Makoto as his mentee; the last thing Hope's Peak told him was to look out for his kouhai, and he will. Whatever else he's doing, he will still be taking Makoto under his wing. Makoto's a nice guy; it feels good to help him, anyway.

In the non-amnesia version, he goes into it personally knowing everyone involved except Izuru. He's been Makoto's mentor at school; Makoto just doesn't remember. He knows Makoto's a nice guy who's good at making friends. And he knows this is a hope vs. despair battle, being televised to the world. There is no period of figuring things out or deciding how to approach things; right away he's trying to instigate constantly. To that end, he's pretty dismissive of Makoto, kind of steamrolling his questions and using every interaction as an attempt to convince or trick him into doing something for the killing game.

The relationship forms despite Nagito's disinterest. Everyone has to take care of their tiny senpai, and Makoto is serious about making sure Nagito is comfortable and getting enough food. It goes against Nagito's vibe of despairful self-neglect, but Nagito finds himself really enjoying the attention. He doesn't identify Makoto's hope as such very quickly, because he's too busy treating Makoto as an undeserved indulgence on his own part to consciously notice things like his integrity and his endurance. He honestly might not think to consider Makoto hopeful until Makoto is seconds from being executed. Just a kind of helpless, "Wait, that was hope! It was him all along!"

Chapter 34: Early mornings & new beginnings

You managed to slip out of bed without waking the beautiful man next to you. Throwing on a pair of his boxers and an oversized Bowie t shirt slipped your slippers on & headed towards the kitchen to turn on the coffee pot & start breakfast for the house full of men who you know will surely wake up hungry. You flick on the radio & start pulling out your supplies & heating the waffle iron swaying to the instrumentals to Guns & Roses Patience. You decide on making mixed berry waffles & a strawberry sauce over the stovetop as the bacon cooks & you start humming & singing to yourself 🎼”I’ve been walking the streets at night just tryin to get it right, it’s so hard to see you with so many around, You know I don’t like being stuck in the crowd, And the streets don’t change but maybe the names I ain’t got time for the game cus I need you yeah yeah but I need you!”🎼 in your own little world belting out lyrics not noticing the boys peeking at you through the doorway as Eddie stands there in complete awe of you. Your voice the way you so effortlessly move across the room totally captivated by all things you Jeff whispers to the group “I think we found corroded coffins new addition only if she played an instrument” you turn them not knowing you heard Jeff “who says I don’t” as you set down plates full of food for them all “okay boys eat up help yourselves there’s plenty Eddie give them a pork roll rundown” you wink and leave the room with your coffee. “Ew Eddie it sounds dirty so if it is I don’t wanna know” Eddie laughs “it’s food spazoid” he slides each boy a plate full it takes about a minute before they all start scarfing everything down “I don’t know what this is made of but it’s so good! Ed why you hogging her man we don’t get to eat home cooked food like that either moms so busy I’m lucky if there’s a can of spaghetti o’s or a box of Kraft in the cabinet” you overheard them “boys how about this.. I know you’re all graduating really soon & some of you will be moving to campus for college after the summer so why don’t we have a family night once a week until then not including hellfire night okay? We’ll do the whole nine yards I’ll cook dinner we’ll have a movie marathon & everything then the week or two before break is over we can plan a trip just us & you all have to promise we’ll see you on the holidays I’ll be heartbroken if I don’t get a table full of my favorite people for thanksgiving & Christmas” they all stare at you with glossy eyes never feeling cared about by anyone but the boy group & their parents they aren’t very used to being around someone so caring & warm they all run & wrap you into a large group hug “you’ve always been one of us & we wouldn’t have it any other way” gareth says as the boys nod in agreement. You snatch up your favorite mug gifted to you by Wayne knowing it’s your favorite flower plastered all over it you’ve always had a soft spot for Lily’s they’re so beautiful. Heading to the shower to wake yourself up more as the boys finish breakfast. Gareth going for seconds scoots in the bar stool at the breakfast bar next to Eddie taking a large bite of waffles before nudging his friends shoulder “so…. What’s the plan man? Let us know what you need us to do you know she’s special to all of us in each owns way we wanna help make it special she deserves it more then anybody” Eddie laughs “I know dude I’m just trying to figure out how to get her out there without her getting suspicious maybe you can tell her me & the others went shopping or something & you take her to lunch & the record store by the time you guys are done & you bring her over we should have everything set by then I already called Robin she’s gonna tell Jamie she’s busy & so is Steve hopefully this goes smoothly” he says huffing his bangs out of his face. “You guys wanna see it real quick before she’s out of the shower?” They all jump out of their seats as Eddie pulls it out of his pocket to show all his best friends “wow Ed she’s gonna love that” Jeff stares in awe “yeah man what the hell did you do rob a bank look at that thing?!”

aw snap, here we go again.......................................

just a quick update here for anyone interested - bad moon rising will liiiiiiikely finish posting sometime late this week/early next week, huzzah! now, originally i had planned on taking a little break from posting after i finished that up, and i probably still will, but the projects y'all should expect in the near future have changed just an itty-bitty bit.

namely, i'm gonna be trying to get at leeeeeeeeast one chapter of like wringing blood out before i really pour 100% of my focus into finishing my current CREEPs fic. i haven't been ready to step back into hackett house for a minute, but i miss it, you understand, so...we'll see where that goes ;)c

throwing a snippet from both like wringing blood AND said CREEPs project under the cut for anyone looking for sneak peeks, but if not, hey. i hope the week's treating you kindly no matter what. <3

like wringing blood from a stone

The trick to hunting was keeping quiet. Didn’t matter what you were hunting—deer, fish, turkeys, hogs, people, coyotes—the quickest way to nab them was to keep your eyes open and your mouth shut. Usually, he was good at that. Real good! Him and Uncle Jack both, they could go whole days, even weeks, without talking out loud. They’d be just fine with it, too, not feel like they’d missed out on anything or nothing. Tonight, though…hell, tonight, he kept thinking about that last summer. The one with the rabbits. He’d been Bubba’s age that summer. Bigger than him, sure, but he’d always been bigger than everyone else. He was a kid, was the point—he’d been a kid, loud and dumb and mean and always looking for an excuse to throw a punch. Like his brothers. He’d been something else too, he’d just never said it out loud, not to anyone who might’ve let it get back to Ma or Pa. He’d been tired. Fucking. Tired. Bone-tired. Grouchy-tired. Everything-hurts-all-the-time tired. The choking lady hadn’t been letting him sleep that summer, not for more than a couple hours at a time, and when Uncle Jack and Great Uncle John had shown up, he’d been a monster. Full stop. Simple as. Fuck hunting. Fuck fishing. Fuck helping with the camp. Fuck everything and everyone, he’d just wanted to sleep! So he’d done the only thing he could think of. He’d asked Uncle Jack to show him how to do the thing with the bones. That’s what tonight felt like. Back then, they’d waited until the house fell asleep before grabbing a gun each and filling their pockets with bullets until each step they took jingled. Bobby hadn’t been able to keep quiet then, neither. He’d been too glad to find someone who’d believed him about the choking lady. He’d been too excited. “What you need this thing for?” he asked in the here and now, slapping a mosquito on his neck before ducking under a low-hanging branch. “What thing?” “The…whatever we’re huntin’.” “Eating, mostly.” “Mostly?” Uncle Jack shot him a sideways kind of look, the sort that meant he was up to something. Again, Bobby couldn’t help grinning back. “All right, wiseass. Research purposes, say.” “Oh. Huh. Gonna cut it up and shit?” “Something like that.” “Cool.”

totally secret creeps project no one will have been able to predict at all

“Pull that shit again and see what happens.” It was too dark to make out much about the second killer, but it only made sense that he was the man they’d seen before. The longer she looked, the more his shirt stood out in the darkness; dingy though it had looked under the light of the stars, it was still white enough that she could track his movements like he was—ha-ha-ha—a ghost. Oh, she hoped the others had found good enough places to hide. Oh, she hoped the killers wouldn’t stick around long enough for their eyes to adjust to the dark. Oh God, she hoped there weren’t lights they could turn on down there! The metal ladder creaked again and even though she expected that third one to come slinking in eventually, she couldn’t help remembering [SPOILER]’s earlier warning: More than us two, they’d said when they’d asked how many other people were out there. It’d been an eerie thing to say then; it was downright terrifying now. A third pair of shoes whispered across the concrete floor, but no matter how she strained her eyes, she’d only been able to catch the faintest outline of a man beneath the dim light coming from the doorway before he too had been absorbed by the dark.

Summary: Y/N thinks her one is someone entirely different than who she thought and Rafe can't seem to not argue with his supposed love.

Masterlist

“She should’ve ended up with Grayson,” Cole insists, painting Y/N’s nail the sage green she picked out. Y/N shakes her head, needing to have her hand steadied by Cole, “Nooo, Cole. Come on. For one, Grayson is in serious need of some healing time after Emily. And for two, Jameson is just so much hotter. He’s a badass.” Cole chuckles at her words and goes back to focusing on her nails. “I think I’m going to have to take offence to that because I am much more like Grayson than Jameson. Are you trying to tell me something?” 

“Don’t worry, you have nothing to worry about. I think you’re a mixture of both. You have Grayson’s need to be the one to take care of people and Jameson’s hunger. You just are hungry for books, like me. It’s one of the reasons why I think we get along so well.” 

“So you’re saying I’m the Jameson/Grayson to your Avery.”

“Maybe… Hey, why are you so good at painting nails? It’s not fair.” 

“I have five younger sisters. They love mani-pedi night and I can’t say no to them.”

“That’s cute. I hope I can meet them one day. Mason would let me paint his nails but he never had the patience to wait for me to finish them or do mine. Ra- I always finished Rafe’s nails but he would run off with Mason before I could ask him to paint mine.” 

“I would absolutely love for you to meet them. And it’s a shame that they never did your nails because I find that the ladies love it when their man does their nails.” 

“Oh, and that’s who you are to me? My man?” 

“Well, if you want me to be.” 

“Yeah, I would really, really like it if you were.” 

She leans down to his face, which is angled towards her nails, and gives him a kiss on his lips. He pauses what he is doing and starts to move his lips against hers. She takes her hands out of his, wrapping her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. He pulls away from her, “As much as I loved that, can we wait for me to finish your nails and for them to dry? I know you are a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to your nails.” Y/N nods and unwraps her arms to check her nails. When she sees that they smudged a little, she gives a little pout. Cole shakes his head with a massive smile on his face, gently taking her hands into his, “Don’t fret. I have all the time in the world to fix your nails till they are as perfect as you want them to be.” He places another kiss on her lips before taking the nail polish remover into his hand and taking off the smudged polish. 

Thirty minutes later, Cole finalizes Y/N's nails and they decide to have a movie night in the theatre room. After watching the whole How To Train Your Dragon series, Cole heads back to his hotel room and Y/N heads to hers. She goes to sleep that night with a massive smile on her face. 

——

Mason comes into the kitchen and sees the massive smile his sister has on her face as she eats her cereal. “Given that Cole left pretty late last night and the big smile on your face, I am going to guess you had a good night with him,” Mason deduces, getting himself a bowl of cereal and sitting down beside his sister. Y/N looks at him with a dopey look, “It was a very good night. And don’t give me that face, it’s not for that reason you dirty-minded hog.” Mason laughs and shakes his head.  “Ew, I wasn’t thinking about my sister doing that stuff. Plus, I can see your nails are done so it gives me a pretty good idea of what you guys did last night.”

“Yeah, he painted my nails then we watched some movies. You know I value my nights at home like they are gold so it was a perfect date.”

“Oh, so it was a date, was it? You guys are official, now?” 

“We are. I am no longer looking for a boyfriend. Can I be honest with you?”

“It’s what brothers are for.”

“When Rafe and I were dating, I thought that he was the one. That we were endgame. After we broke up, I still held on to that thought. I thought maybe sometime in the future, we would get back together and have our happily ever after. However, now that he is getting married and Cole and I are giving us another chance, I think I was so wrong.”

Mason gives his sister a spiritless smile, “What do you mean?”

“Well, I think that maybe I was wrong about Rafe and I being soulmates. I think I am meant to marry Cole.” This time, Mason drops his spoon so it clatters against the rim of the bowl. He didn’t want to get in between his sister and best friend; it was the whole reason why he didn’t keep them updated on each other. But hearing what his sister just said, he starts to panic at the thought that they weren’t going to get back together. Mason gives his full attention to his sister, “Maybe, but do you really think there isn’t any other chance of you and Rafe?”

“I mean, Mace, how could there be? He’s getting married and he also hasn’t even forgiven me yet. Honestly, I haven’t even forgiven myself yet. But I need to move on with my life. I can’t keep holding on to my high school sweetheart in hopes that something happens.”

“You’re right. I just think you shouldn’t remove the possibility of it until he actually walks down the aisle. You have until before the last petal falls from the flower girl’s hand to still be with him.’ 

“Um, okay. A little weird that you say that about your best friend’s engagement, but I know you just care.”

“I do. And he may be my best friend but a small part of me will always be team Y/N and Rafe. He’d be a pretty cool brother-in-law.” 

——

The last person Y/N expects to run into at the bookstore is her ex-boyfriend, especially since she hasn’t thought about him in five years. Although, she really shouldn’t be surprised given that he wanted to be an author just as much as she did. Standing before her is Wilson Porter, an all-around horrible person and a terrible boyfriend. She is about to pretend she doesn’t see him and go back outside, but Wilson speaks up before she can. “Well, if it isn’t the best-selling author, who broke up with me.” She turns at him and gives him a glare, “And it’s the boy, who used me for a book offer.” He holds his hands up like he’s been caught. “Really thought you would be over it by now. How are you?”

“So are we really going to be faking pleasantries?”

“No, I guess not. It’s just the last that I heard, Rafe is getting married to a New Yorker turned OBX resident. Must be lonely all by yourself.” 

“Actually, I’m dating a publisher, so it doesn’t bother me. But it must be lonely for you without any offers to publish your book.”

“Haha, very funny. But, in all seriousness, I just thought it was always going to be Rafe for you.” 

“Why?”

Wilson gives her an Are you serious look? and motions for her to sit down on the bench. He sits beside her once she does, making sure to keep their distance. “Besides the fact that every guy on the island knew that Rafe was head of heels for you, I could see the way that you looked at him when we were dating. It was clear you guys had a bond that no one else could understand.” 

“No, that’s wrong. Rafe would always be a jerk to me. How could he have been head over heels for me? And I never really paid attention to him until we started dating.”

“Oh, okay. If you want to be in denial, then fine. I’m just telling you what I felt during our relationship. I bet you that even if I did have true feelings for you, you would still be drawn to him.”

“You’re wrong,” she persists. She doesn’t want to listen to anything else he has to say, so she storms out of the store and towards Mason’s car that she is borrowing. She can’t get what he said out of her head. It reminds her too much of what Cole said to her in their first year of university after they went on a date. He had told her that he had a great time and that he really liked her, but he could see that her heart was in another place. That she was being drawn to someone else. It couldn’t be true. She couldn’t let it be true, at least not anymore. She has to move on. She is beginning to feel like that is her new mantra. 

——

Rafe Cameron begins to feel like he moved into Barry’s trailer. In the last week, he has spent most of his time after work at the dealer’s house, doing drugs to make himself feel better. Since she has come back home, everywhere he turns is a reminder of her. Right now is one of the rare occasions he decides to head back home for the night. He angrily gets into his room and doesn’t bother to greet his fiancée, who is waiting for him on their bed. “Look who finally came home,” she quips with her arms crossed over her chest and a serious look on her face. Rafe jerks his head back and forward with an annoyed look on his face, “You’re angry when I’m not home. You’re angry when I am home. I don’t know what you want from me.”

“Don’t start with me right now, Rafe. This is the first time you’ve been home in a week and like the third time we’ve talked… wait no argued is a much better word for what we’ve been doing.”

“I’m not the one picking fights and being an annoying ass bitch.” 

“No, you do not get to talk to me that way. I don’t know what has gotten into you or what is bothering you, but I can’t take your change in behaviour. I’ve tried to give you time to cool down and to come to me when you are ready, but you don’t seem to want to do that. I don’t know what you want me to do.”

“I want you to let me live my life without your constant questioning on what I am doing. God, it’s like you’re trying to be my mother.”

“I’m sorry you don’t want me to care for you, but it’s what you signed up for when you let me into your life and asked me to marry you. You knew I was a bubbly and caring person.”

“Yeah, well, I underestimated how annoying you could be.”

“That’s enough. I’m not going to just stay here and be your perfect little fiancée while you are out and about being anything but my fiancé. I’m going to stay at a hotel. When you start to remember who you are, you can come get me.”

Rafe watches as Blythe packs her bags and leaves the room without waiting for him. He angrily slams his hands down on his desk then rubs his face with them. Wheezie’s knock on his door snaps him out of his anger. “I heard your argument with Blythe again. I know you’ve been going out to get high,” she says calmly, walking into his room and sitting on his bed. Over the last five years, Wheezie has become the only person other than Y/N that he lets have a true look into what he is feeling. “Have you been doing drugs because Y/N is back?” He sighs and sits beside her on the bed. She brings his head to rest on her shoulder to try to comfort him. 

“I just want to stop thinking about her. I want to stop seeing her having the time of her life on a date with someone who isn’t mean.”

“Is that why you punched holes in the walls? Did you do it while you were high?”

“Yes and no. I was high when I made the holes and it was partially because I saw her on the date. I mean it was the reason why I got high in the first place. But I also got angry because she caught me doing drugs at Kelce’s party. She was so angry at first and then all of a sudden she was worried about me. It was like she could see into my soul and she shouldn’t be allowed to do that anymore. She doesn’t care about me.”

“That’s not true you know, she still does, Rafe. I can see it in her eyes. She isn’t the type of person to stop caring and you know it. You just keep saying it because it hurts you more that she still cares but broke up with you anyway. And it’s okay to be hurt by that, but you can’t keep getting into arguments with Blythe because of her and you probably shouldn’t be marrying Blythe either.”

“You’re probably right. And I thought I was the oldest. When did you get so wise?”

“It must come with my driving abilities. Plus, I like to talk to a certain bookworm, who also happens to be wise.”

For once in weeks, Rafe let himself give a genuine happy laugh at the mention of Y/N and it felt good. Now, he just needs to figure out how he is going to fix his life so he always feels this good.

dead poets in efteling

a/n: first hc post yippieeee!! i know this is soo niche and there are about three people who understand this but its been in my head for weeks and it needs out. if you're unfamiliar, efteling is this really cool theme park in the netherlands with a kind of dark fantasy theme. i was there yesterday and if you saw someone eating shit at the baron 1898 that was UHHHH NOT ME GUYS

first of all, cameron is extremely stressed out about wasting time/money so he wants to be there the second the gates open. If they’re staying in a hotel or bosrijk, he’s insanely anal about getting the extra half hour but they never end up getting it bc half the guys are still asleep

they go with mr keating (who had to pester the board for months about why it’d be beneficial for their education) and thank god because every single one of the guys is directionally challenged. if it werent for him they’d criss cross through the park all day

keating makes them sit at the fabula restaurant for like 20 minutes so he can drink coffee and plan out their walking route. cameron nearly has an aneurysm

everyone but cameron is running around that restaurant like children

charlie is hogging the slide, meeks and pitts are at the climbing section, knox is locked in on feeling the textures and the game where you merge your face with a penguin. spends five minutes trying to type in his email

neil and todd are mainly walking around trying to see everything, until todd gets jumpscared by the jumping snake. from then on he’s staying 10 feet away from any kind of structure in this building

cameron is sitting at a table with keating trying to explode him with his mind. keating is unfazed

when they finally go on a ride they go on fata morgana first

pitts is so insanely in tune with the present and his inner child that he fully locks in during every dark ride. EVERYTHING GETS HIM during the fata morgana. the negative energy makes him so on edge that he screams at everything 

everyone else is fine for the entirety of the ride except for the dentist scene where they all go ‘eugghhh’ in unison

they go on the baron 1898 next and knox is like eughhh i dont know guys cuz hes fucking terrified of heights but he won't actually come out and say it. they manage to convince him to get on cuz he's extremely sensitive to peer pressure

meeks and pitts are constantly playing no one knows (efteling heads up) in the line (in every line tbh) but they can’t control their volume. they’re always screaming when they get an answer right and it stresses cameron out

charlie wants to play with them but he's horrible at it cuz he keeps asking subjective questions

when they get on the coaster, knox is already having heart palpitations from the sight of the witte wieven. he then sees 1. how insanely high it is and 2. how theres a whole crowd of people on the ground staring up at them. right when the cart tips a little over the edge and hangs there, charlie (in the most sincere voice) says 'omg i think my seatbelt is undone!' n knox fully faints for a second

they don't let him go on rollercoasters anymore after that. he mainly rides the train and waves at every passerby

they go on sirocco (teacups ride). keating has mostly been keeping a neutral face and sharing history/poetry tidbits so he can argue that they have, in fact, learned somethng here. but on sirocco this guy goes HAM

hes 1. really strong and 2. obsessed with this ride so he's spinning it like crazy. he's in there with meeks and pitts who are having a grand old time

neil and todd are in a boat together and todd has this really blank expression. neil is extremely worried he's getting motion sick so he's constantly like 'are you good? should i stop spinning it???' and todds like 'yeah im good :)'. neil does not believe him and refuses to keep spinning it

the people who ARE getting motion sick are cameron and charlie, who somehow ended up in a boat together. neither of them are willing to admit it so they're both turning green and staring at each other to see if one of them will cave

they both end up puking

they go on droomvlucht and decide to test out the virtual line. when they get the notification that they can get on cameron freaks the fuck out cuz hes scared they'll miss their slot even tho its fifteen minutes. hyperventilating all like 'WE HAVE TO GO NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW'

while they wait for their time slot they go to the volk van laaf

neil and todd and meeks and pitts both go on the monorail. theyre on the monorail when their slot opens so they look down and just see a tiny little cameron waving his arms and screaming 'WE NEED TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'

todd runs over the second they're off the ride cuz he's stressed, but the rest REFUSE to be rushed

knox has found the loof and eerhuys and nearly jumps out of his skin when vader laaf starts moaning and moving his feet

charlie would think this is very funny and start calling him freaky laaf if he werent stuck at the stairs that make noise, spamming the steps

when they're actually on droomvlucht, neil is constantly talking about a midsummer nights dream. pointing and pogging like 'OMG ITS OBERON'

neil in general chronically talks through rides. todd's content to listen

meeks gets jumpscared by the troll at the end and still has a horrified expression at the photo op

fairytale forest!!!

charlie is obsessed with everything that's interactive, specifically the troll king and the parrot. makes it say all sort of horrific things

obviously he's pogging at the mermaid boobs

also will not stop thirsting over the wolf. he is FRONT ROW at an evening with wolf even though he doesn't understand a word

the interactive bit pitts likes is the gnome that opens the door and just like. mutters at everyone. he thinks it's the funniest shit EVER.

todd is LOCKED IN at the fairytale tree. looks up at keating with these huge eyes as if to say 'thats u'

meeks has figured out how the app works and how to make kniesoor say ur name. knox is convinced it's witchcraft and then BEGS steven to show him how it works

i actually don't believe kniesoor knows the name knox but who knows!

they go on the halve maen (swinging ship) and cameron, still traumatized from the sirocco endeavor that he insists on sitting in the middle

everyone else refuses and since keating doesn't want anyone to be alone, he sits next to cameron

what cameron didnt really consider is that since the movement in the middle is a lot more subtle, it's likely to make you even more sick

keating's looking at him the entire time and going 'are you okay?' meanwhile camerons there like ._.

in the tips, a screaming contest breaks out between the two halves. charlie and knox start it and everyone joins in. ppl gets tired and kinda stops putting any effort into it at some point. as a joke, at the very end when it slows down, charlie says ‘imagine someone just fully yawps right now’ and todd just. does it

knox is mortified. charlie gives todd five dollars for the effort

in the vliegende hollander all of them are kind of tired and the line is stressing them out. they don't fully understand what the ride even is so when the dark ride portion starts everyone is kind of tense. to diffuse tension, during the fog portion, meeks yells 'OMG CHARLIE PUT UR VAPE AWAY'

they eat at polles keuken and neil gets the magic water

charlie is inspired and gets it too. nearly knocks over a waiter with how excited he is

of course they go on symbolica after

oj punctuel is camerons spirit animal. everyone wakling through the opening steps and he's like yuo guys... poor oj...

charlie DEMANDS to sit in the front row so he can press the buttons

todd gets terrified at the whale/fabelvis part. he just doesnt like things that are underwater

when they see polle they're like omg that's our guy!!

at the end knox spends all his money in the gift shop

meeks buys those cards with seeds in them but refuses to ever plant them

pitts buys a raveleijn sword

charlie buys a stuffed animal of the wolf

cameron buys a magnet

todd buys the book of fairytales and buys keating a pen

neil buys a droomvlucht puzzle

i have a thousand more ideas but i feel like this post is already WAY long so if anyone is interested in a part two lmk x
