Just Friends: Isn't It Fun?
My warnings are not exhaustive but be aware this is a dark fic and may include potentially triggering topics. Please use your common sense when consuming content. I am not responsible for your decisions.
Character: Bucky Barnes
masterlist
Summary: You make a new friend.
It’s giving
As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. I’m happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging ❤️
Tumblr media
You hum as you come up the walk of your building. It isn’t in the best location. In the dark, it’s scarier as a shadow overhangs the door beneath the awning. You reach into your knapsack, hanging from one shoulder, as you eke out the tune to Easy Street offkey.  
As your keys jingle, a shape pops out of the bushes and you scream, throwing the keyring as you turn to sprint back down the pavement. You’re caught from behind as a familiar chuckle rolls up into the moonlit sky. You grunt and elbow Bucky as you realise the trick he’s pulled. 
“Ah, why would you do that?” You wriggle until he lets you go. 
You face him and try to snarl but you’re so relieved it’s just him, you can’t help but smile. 
“Just having some fun. At your expense,” he chuckles and bends to pick up the keys. “Can I give you some advice, dreamy?” He raises your keys and holds them so one points between his fingers. “Keep your keys out, hold em like this and if some creep jumps out of the bushes, stab em good.” 
“Stab-- Buck,” you shake your head. “I can’t do that.” 
“You can if it’s life or death,” he swings the keys around to hang from his thick fingers, “here.” 
“What-- what are you even doing here?” 
“Huh. You didn’t let me ask my question first,” he huffs as he stands back and waves you past. “Why didn’t you tell me you were working late?” 
“Well, firstly, you got lots going on,” you say. “And I didn’t think of it. I’m fine.” 
“Fine, I could be a real bad guy waiting for you out here in the dark,” he taunts. 
“But you’re not. So now my turn, why are you here?” 
“Well, I was wandering by on my way to see a Buster Keaton marathon and thought maybe you’d be up for it...” 
“Tonight? Right now?” 
“I see,” he grabs the door as you opens it and holds it, “you’re too busy. Or maybe you’re too good for me.” 
You enter and he follows. It’s that familiarity that you just sort of fell into with him. He’s like a wise big brother, even if he really is older than your grandpa. It’s the most unexpected bonds that are the strongest. 
“No, not at all, Mr. Hero,” you climb the stairs as he stays a step behind, his hand on the railing right by yours. 
“Ugh, why doesn’t this place have an elevator?” He whines. 
“I thought the serum would give you extra strong legs,” you toss over your shoulder. 
“Whatever.” He clucks, “so how about it? You wanna fall asleep in the theatre with me, dreamy?” 
“Dream-- why do you call me that?” You head down towards your door. 
“You got your head in the clouds. Also, when you watch movies, you get this look in your eyes, like you’re living on screen. Dreamy. See.” He explains. 
“Mm,” you grumble. 
“You don’t like it? I put up with Buckaroo.” 
“That was once and it was a slip-up,” you unlock your door. “Fine, I’ll go with you since you don’t have any other friends.” 
“I have friends.” 
“Sure you do,” you snort and turn to give him a playful wink. You put your keys and bag down on the tall table. “You and Cap, the superfriends. Heroes and buddies til the end—whoa!” 
You hit the shoe rack and stumble, landing on your ass. Bucky is quick enough to save you but he doesn’t. He watches smugly and cackles as your cheeks burn up. 
“Not funny,” you pout. 
“Oh, it is very funny,” he approaches and offers his hand. “How’s that humble pie taste?” 
“Fine. I was being a meanie. I admit it but you got my adrenaline up. I can’t help it.” 
“Ha, yeah, that was good. You shoulda seen the look on your face. And that noise you made.” He hauls you up as his vibranium thumb rubs between your knuckles. “Ayeeeee!” 
“I don’t sound like that.” 
“You do.” He grins. You scowl and he laughs again. “You know I love that face. The day you actually get mad at me, I’ll be down on my knees, dreamy.” 
“Ugh, you are such a...” you let the sentence trail off and the dimple stays in in his cheek as he crosses his arms. 
“I’m a what?” 
“Nothing.” 
“No, say it,” he goads. 
“No.” 
“Come on, I can handle it. You know, I got hit by a truck the other day, I think I can take a few words.” 
“Hit by a truck? Bucky?” You squeal. “Are you okay?” 
“Ah, look at me. I’m fine. Not a scratch. That you can see,” he shrugs. “So what am I? Tell me.” 
“No,” you turn your nose up. 
“Say it. You’ll feel better.” 
“It’s... not nice.” 
“Come on,” he unfolds his arms and flutters his fingers at you, “I am trained in torture.” 
“No,” you grab his hands, his skin rough, “no tickles.” 
“So, tell me.” 
“Not fair,” you struggle to keep his hands away from your sides. 
“Almost...” he wiggles his fingertips a half-inch from your middle. 
“Brat! You’re a brat!” You step back, out of his reach. “Okay, and if you keep being one, you can go to the movies alone.” 
He laughs and grips his hips in victory, “wow, you know, I’ve actually never got that one. Creative.” 
“Right, well, I can’t sit in the theatre in this get-up,” you look down at your frilly plaid overall dress and white blouse.  
“I didn’t get to mention that yet. It’s a choice, as the young ones say.” 
You cringe, “it’s my work uniform.” 
“Uniform?” He squints. 
“Don’t, okay? I get enough guff from the customers.” 
“Guff? Oh, that’s language I understand.” 
“Ergh,” you stomp your foot. “You are so... so... old.” 
You turn and march away. He laughs and you turn into your bedroom. He just loves to tease you and despite your efforts, he always gets to you. At least he’ll have to be quiet during the movie.

Boring
Love is wanting to tell someone every little detail of your day and wanting to hear about theirs.
a @steddielovemonth prompt | 1309 words | CW: N/A | Rating: G
--
Steve isn’t exciting. He knows this, he’s always known this. It’s why he hides behind fake smiles and follows the same beat as the rest of his peers rather than finding his own path like Eddie. He follows the local teams because that’s what everyone else did; he listens to pop music because that’s what’s played at parties and the first thing he hears when he turns on the radio; he wears boring clothes because his mom buys it for him and he actually likes how they look on him. 
It’s not something he put a lot of thought into until he started hanging out with Dustin and his friends, only growing when Robin came into his life and then it became this glaringly obvious problem when Eddie took an interest in him as a friend. Steve likes the mainstream, everyday boring shit that makes him blend into his peers, and fully fade to the background when he’s around his wonderfully eccentric new family. 
And now that he and Eddie are more than friends, Steve feels even more inadequate. 
His date ideas are cheesy and stereotypical. His ambitions in life start and stop at having a family in the future (which has changed since he was a kid – now he doesn’t equate having a family to a wife and 2.5 kids, but rather a cozy little life with his partner, maybe a few pets, and any nieces or nephews the party gives him. As long as he has Robin in his life and a partner, be it a wife or husband, who actually loves him, he’ll be content). Steve doesn’t have any passions he can turn into a career, and the few he did have, it’s far fetched or his body couldn’t keep up anymore even if he had the chance. 
Then there’s Eddie who shines so brightly and takes up so much space with every ounce of his personality. He has so many hobbies that could become actual careers, too many choices for him to pick from that there have been plenty of nights where he’s stayed up and talked Steve in circles over his choices. He has such strong opinions about everything, could rant for days about the lint he found in the dryer if he needed to. Nancy always says he’d be a great Phillip-buster, whatever that is, because he can just keep going without losing steam. 
He’s incredible and Steve is decidedly not. 
It’s something he ponders on his way home, nodding along to the Springsteen song playing on the radio as he heads for the trailer. It’s been a great day, one of Steve’s better ones lately, and he’s itching to revel in its many wonders with Eddie when he gets home. Nothing exciting happened, just a lot of little, wonderful moments that feel perfect to Steve. 
But they’re boring. He knows that. 
When he was a kid, he used to hear his grandparents talk about the most mundane things. His grandmother would fill his grandpa in on all the gossip she gathered from their neighbor or the way the price of milk went up at Bradley Big Buy. She’d have serious conversations with him about whether they should switch grocery stores or if going to one of the farms directly for their produce was a better idea. And in turn, he’d complain about the squeaky wheel on the mail cart at work or would go into detail about how lovely the lunch she packed him was, complimenting the sandwich like it was made of gold. 
They were the perfect couple in Steve’s eyes. He’s always wanted what they have. But his grandparents were so similar, they shared interests in ways that Steve and Eddie don’t. On paper, Steve and Eddie should clash and he knows opposites attract and all, but it doesn’t mean you want a life with them. 
So he holds in his excitement about his day. He’s just happy to have Eddie to come home to at all, that he’s allowed to just walk into the trailer and be a part of Eddie’s life. 
He parks next to Eddie’s van and pockets his keys. 
Eddie’s waiting for him by the door, perched on the dining chair. “Thought you’d be coming home soon,” Eddie says with a grin as he pops up. He loops his arms around Steve’s neck and kisses him, so sweet and soft. Another addition to Steve’s perfect day. 
Steve can’t keep the smile off his face. “I missed you,” he says, even though it’s probably too much, too sappy for Eddie. 
Instead of wrinkling his nose and making a snide comment, Eddie’s arms tighten around him as he beams, eyes crinkling with how wide his smile is. “I missed you too.” Another kiss, this one a little longer and deeper before Eddie’s pulling away with a peck. “C’mon. I’ve been losing my mind being here all by myself,” he laments, hanging from Steve a little. 
“Where are we going?” Steve asks as Eddie straightens up to drag Steve to the couch. He gets pushed onto one side as Eddie takes the other, sitting cross-legged and sideways so he can stare directly at Steve. 
“Okay,” Eddie says seriously, “tell me everything.” 
“What?” 
Eddie nudges Steve’s knee. “About your day. I want the…” His brow furrows as he looks up at the ceiling, eyes glazing over as he thinks. “What’s the sports thing I’m thinking of? With the scripts?” 
Steve cocks his head to the side. “A play?” 
“Yes!” Eddie snaps his fingers and bounces a little. “I want the play-by-play.” 
“Are you sure?” Steve asks, quiet despite the way his heart is picking up. “It was just a day at Family Video. It’s not like I’m a doctor or something more exciting.” 
Eddie leans forward and cups his hands over Steve’s face. “Everything you do is exciting to me, baby. I like seeing the world through your eyes. So yes, tell me everything,” he says, leaning forward with each word as he squishes Steve’s cheeks. He ends it with another peck, then two more like he can’t help himself. 
Steve laughs, but twists his body to mirror Eddie’s. “It’s been a great day,” he admits, eyes drawn to the loose thread on Eddie’s cushion. “Robin brought me coffee from that new shop on Main and her dad dropped off donuts for us on his way to work. Then Mrs. Peterson came in and she wasn’t a demonic she-beast from the underworld and was actually lovely for once,” Steve says. 
“Mrs. Peterson?” Eddie gasps. “The same woman who yelled at me for almost two hours for biking through her yard as a kid?” 
“The very one,” Steve says. “I think Rob and I were both too stunned to speak for a good thirty minutes after.” 
Eddie shakes his head, eyes bright with genuine interest – almost like he’s mystified. “See, this is the shit I wouldn’t believe if it came from anyone else but you.”
“What’s that mean?” Steve asks, softer but not harsh like he thought it would sound. Not that he wants to – he just knows how he comes off sometimes. 
“You,” Eddie says, poking Steve’s chest, “are special. You always bring the best out of people, man. Including grouchy old ladies who sold their souls to the devil for fresh gardenias in their flowerbeds.” 
Steve laughs and tilts forward so he’s practically in Eddie’s lap. They shift quietly so Steve’s laying on Eddie fully, arms wrapped around his middle. “You make it sound like I’ve got something exciting to say. It’s just boring shit.” 
“That’s where you’re wrong. You, Steve Harrington, are so far from boring,” Eddie whispers against his ear. 
And deep down, Steve thinks he may actually believe him. 
Steve lifts his head to kiss Eddie’s cheek. “Your turn. Tell me something about your day.”

do you have any headcanons about the alternate bens like Mad, Bad, Zarro, etc? I'd love to hear them if you have any 😭😭
SRRY THIS TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO ANSWER I FORGOT ABOUT TBH PLEASE FORGIVE ME 🙏
Anyways here's a shit ton of headcanons and storylines
Bad Ben:
Story stuff--
His grandpa Max is not gone, just evil
Instead of the plumbers being intergalactic peacekeeping organization they are a anti-alien army set on separating Earth from other alien species.
Grandpa Max instills this idea that aliens are all bad into Ben and Gwen's head from a very young age
Grandpa Max adopted Ben into the plumbers organization way earlier. So he's kind of an alien butt kicking machine.
He's not a celebrity like Ben 23 but everybody knows who he is, He's seen as Earth's protector but not a hero.
He finds out that he's a quarter Anodite around the same time as Gwen (15). Well Gwen embraces her alien origin Ben is pissed and feels betrayed.
He decides to work with a different faction of the plumbers to separate himself from Grandpa Max
This faction works more with infiltrations rather than first line responders (if that makes sense)
Ben would currently be working on how to get rid of Gwen, Kevin, and the rest of the plumber kids including Argit who are seen as illegal aliens and are basically on the run.
Ben hides the fact that Gwen is his cousin and that he is a quarter and  Anodite. Cuz if it ever got out it would ruin his rep.
Personal--
I think he's super self-absorbed he'll take an extra few seconds just to look at himself in the mirror and sigh dramatically
He has a dog named Buster (or something stupid like that)
As mentioned Buster is the only living thing he actually seems to like.
Doesn't name his aliens
His favorite animals are dogs or sharks
He thinks he's funny and that he has really good one liners but he actually kind of sucks at it
He seems like the type of guy to have a TikTok page centered around thirst trap POVs
He's actually not the goalie on his soccer team
I think instead of a smoothie guy he's more of a shake enjoyer
Same goes for chili fries... He probably eaten animal style fries from In-N-Out or something 🙏
He definitely litters
Grinds his teeth while he's sleeping
Would definitely ask for the manager
Physical--
Tumblr media
Negative Ben:
Storyline--
His Grandpa Max is alive and well. There's no such thing as the plumbers but there is an task force specifically for alien activity which he is part of.
Aliens are not very common on Earth whatsoever and Earth never becomes a open planet. There's no undertown or anything like that.
Ben got the Omnitrix way younger I'd say around 7-8
At first he wanted to be a hero and use it for good but when immediate success didn't follow he gave up
They did not go on a giant summer road trip, the escape pod crashed in Grandpa Max's backyard or something like that
Grandpa Max is very bitter that he never got the chance to have the Omnitrix and Ben knows this very well.
As for Gwen she's never had an interest in the alien shenanigans and is more focused on normal life. She pretends to be dumber than she actually is secretly practicing magic with her friend Hope (aka negative charmcaster)
I think Gwen would be besties with Michael Morningstar and is dating Kevin who's this beach blonde jock.
Kevin is not a mutant in this timeline. Gwen basically uses him for money and to look cool. (We love toxic gwevin)
Ben has no ambitions in life and rarely ever uses the Omnitrix for anything. Since Earth is a closed off planet he kind of has no need.
His azimuth is dead and vilgax seems to not be in this timeline either
I think Ben is a super toxic person he reminds me of the sad boy flop version of Nicole from class of '09 if that makes sense
I think he has a super toxic relationship with Julie and then goes on to date Kai who in this timeline is a celebrity (she's a famous singer) the second him and julie break up. I think he would probably cheat on Kai with Hope (she's the same age as Gwen and Ben in this timeline)
Since they both got played they would leave his ass and he would be alone forever (possibly some toxic benrook, or bevin action)
In an effort to rehabilitate Rook and Ben both Grandpa Max teams them up to run missions and whatnot.
In this timeline Rook is a con artist, he is  ostracized from his home planet. (His parents hate him lol). And in an effort to not go to jail he agrees with Grandpa Max to team up with Ben.
I believe this Ben also has an Albedo who is super happy-go-lucky and was a big fan of azimuth and really wants to get to know Ben who is just not having it.
Personal--
He is definitely incel
He room is so messy you can't see the floor
He names his aliens really stupid stuff like "nightstalker"
Only uses aliens that he thinks are cool
Favorite animals are cats or wolves
He really likes horror movies (favorite yt channel is probably dead meat)
He spends most of his time drawing anime characters or something like that
Favorite genre of anime is harem animes
he will verbally insult you but if you even dare say that he looks kind of funny he'll start crying
Has like 3,000 followers on Twitter
He's very scared of spiders
He's definitely the type to laugh at you for being uncomfortable around bloody or gory scenes.
"it's fake, besides it's not even that scary... I could probably do way worse"
I think he says edgy stuff like that all the time
Lives on monster energy and coffee
Physical--
Tumblr media
This is a lot cuz I really like Negative Ben idk he has a hold on me anyway...
Benzarro:
Storyline--
I think Ben had the spark as well as Gwen so they both were super into magic.
I also like to believe that Earth is more of a magic realm than it is a planet.
I think the virus that turned Ben into a zombie was not in undead thingy but more of a mana absorbing parasite.
Ben is still alive but has been reduced to Benzarro
I think before the apocalypse Ben and Kevin were really close (possibly dating) so when Ben started to get sick this caused Kevin to completely shut down and run away
Ben and Gwen were also way closer in this timeline than they normally are. So it explains why she would devote her life to a cure and assisting Dr. Animo.
Ben is also patient zero most likely because the Omnitrix not only carried dna of multiple aliens but also a parasite.
this also means that Ben got the Omnitrix way later I'd say around 14-15
as for Grandpa Max and the plumbers I don't think that there is really a need for them but I do believe that Grandpa Max was still there before the apocalypse trying to train Ben the best he could.
I feel like Grandpa Max doesn't have a very good connection with his grandkids on like Grandma Verdona who decided to stay on earth and train her grandkids.
Obviously she fleas the planet after the plague starts to take over and Grandpa Max is missing
As for the state of Kevin: he is camped out in some cabin in the forest trying to survive the best he can. He lives with Cooper who is basically his best friend through all of this.
I think Kevin is a full mutant in this (I'm using the rooters retcon for this) him as well as Cooper our immune to the virus since they have no magic spark. (They're basically the cure)
Personal--
He's very popular around school and stuff.
Definitely the golden child of the family
The names of all aliens end with "y/ie"
So like. "Goopie" "Shiny" "Helpie"
Favorite animals are horses
Before he gets infected he'd probably be the type to say that everybody's overreacting and that he doesn't need to wear a mask cuz he's built different... he's got magic and stuff
I think he's zones out a lot
As a zombie he gets lots of weird food cravings
Has tried to eat the other bens
He still remembers everything before he was infected but the parasite has basically made his brain mush
He still remembers Gwen and Kevin very fondly
Contrary to popular belief his favorite color is yellow
Physical--
cw blood
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mad Ben:
Storyline--
I haven't exactly figured out what caused the a post-apocalyptic landscape that mad lives in but I think it would have something to do with a plumber war that caused a possible nuclear (???) fallout
when Ben first finds the Omnitrix he's traveling with Grandpa Max and Gwen. They're kind of aimlessly roaming the desert in search of civilization.
The Omnitrix was in Plummer custody before everything kind of exploded and was just found in an abandoned building by Ben
Grandpa Max is extremely sick and ends up leaving Gwen and Ben so he can go pass on without them having to see.
they later get separated as Gwen is picked up by Verdona.
Leaving then to fend for himself for a little bit. 
Maltruant comes along and leads Ben him to Bellwood (or what's left of it)
him and vilgax then train Ben. I like to think the conditions are tough like Ben still has to hunt for his own food and fend for himself. As well as the fact that he probably gets punished for doing stuff wrong
Side note the vilgax the trains mad Ben is mad vilgax so when he is taken to go fight in the ben war he meets prime vilgax and thinks he's hella cool.
Mad Vilgax is a militant kind of commander who Maltruant specifically tracks down to train Ben and afterwards Vilgax dips
Rook kind of just arrives one day. He is badly injured and Ben kind of takes him in. They're both like 12 or 13 at this point
Ben and Rook develop a friendship until Ben is offered the position to start digging for pieces of maltruant
he starts to yell and get angry at Rook and basically is super toxic.
basically after the two part episode in Omniverse Ben goes a little stir crazy in jail and with the help of Dr Psychobos breaks out.
He runs away to try and find Gwen who at this point is very infamous.
there is an entire cult surrounding her as her followers believe that she has the divine power to save them and bring them to salvation.
this is obviously because she is an anodite. When Verdona took her she led her to the cult and basically made her their new center of worship.
anyways the reason why he's trying to find Gwen is because he knows she's magical and in his stupid little brain that means that she can bring him to Maltruant
he would probably take Kevin hostage (somehow idk that man's a tank) leading gwen to confront him and they would have a big fight
Rook has also been looking for Ben this whole time
Personal--
He has a really bad anger issues that he's had since he was a child
Stiles his hair with motor grease
His favorite animals are hawks
Doesn't name his aliens
He skilled in many different fighting styles so is still versatile even without his omnitrix
The only reason why he has a newer omnitrix is because azimuth is a cruel bitch and gave it to him
Ben sees at azimuth as a god
Ben is the only person in Bellwood to have a mattress and a bed frame
Bro definitely has scurvy
Definitely snores
If he ever tried chili fries he'd probably throw up
His vest used to be a jacket he wore as a kid but he ripped off the sleeves to make it cool
Definitely would wear his dirty shoes around the house.
Most definitely would wear his dirty shoes on the couch
Physical--
Tumblr media
Okay that's it sorry it was so long I just really like yeppin if you guys have any more requests about anything feel free to ask. Hopefully I won't forget about it next time 🙏

I finished reading Buster Keaton's memoirs and honestly I loved this book so much that I miss it (it's been only two hours)
Highlights from the last two chapters include:
the way he defines his marriage to Eleanor as the best thing that happened to him in 1940
some anecdotes about Chaplin and thoughts on the situation he was facing at the time, since he was basically exiled from the USA
the way he narrates the reunion with his two sons, and the joy that transpires from reading about the regular visits he receives from them and their respective families - and being called grandpa (dear god it is so heartwarming)
and last but not least, the memory of being on a ship in the city of Genova where the sailors recognized him and called him "Booster". At first I laughed and thought "ah, typical compatriots in the '50s, greeting a foreigner and getting their name wrong" - then I remembered my own language's rules and realized that "oo" corresponds to the pronunciation for the letter "u" in Italian. They were calling him by his name, only using the so-called "pronunciation of a word as it is written" and that made me smile so much so much for some reason.
I wonder if he ever knew that we referred to him as "Saltarello" (I don't know if it can be translated, but it derives from the word "salto", that is "jump").
Anyway I strongly recommend this book for every fan out there if they haven't already read it. Beyond being parts of a life that changed cinema, it also contains a first-person point of view of what the film industry was like in the '20s and '30s, how it changed, as well as some comments about that slice of society.
10/10 would gladly erase this from my memory just to read it the first time again

Meet the Robinsons Headcanons (Part 2)
Some of these headcanons are inspired by @elioli-art's beautiful artwork! (notably the ones with Lewis hanging out with Franny and her brothers and Art playing football) (Seriously, go check out their lovely art!)
Art used to be scared of the frogs, but Franny helped him with his fear by having him hold some of her different frogs. Holding them and having them be introduced by name actually helped, and after a while he grew to like the frogs.
Eventually, whilst on one of his missions, Art came across a community of frog-like aliens. He saw that some of them were afraid of him. Remembering his sister, he was friendly and introduced himself, and got to know the community.
Some adventures, rescues, and pizza later, and that planet is now happily at peace
Carl gets cleaned once a month via laser cleaning
Tallulah is asthmatic. It used to be much worse when she was little, but thankfully it doesn’t act up very often now.
Just in case, she carries her inhaler on her, and Laszlo keeps a spare in his coat in case of emergencies.
The last time Tallulah had a bad asthma attack, it came on while she and her brother were arguing. The second he realized something was off, all bad feelings were out the window and he was by her side with her inhaler and helping her breathe. By the time it passed, neither of them remembered what they were even arguing about, nor did they care.
On the bright side, while her asthma has settled significantly, Tallulah still has a wheezing laugh, which she finds hilarious. She, Laszlo, and Wilbur get a kick out of it every time.
Uncle Fritz can’t swim. Not very well, anyway.
Aunt Petunia definitely used the “Just throw them in the water, they’ll figure it out” method to teach Laszlo and Tallulah how to swim. (Fritz was not a fan of her method)
Lewis couldn’t swim before he was adopted. Bud and Lucille taught him shortly after moving into the observatory!
Many summer days Lewis had Franny and her brothers over to come jump in the pool, have fun, and watch movies. Bud and Lucille were always delighted to have them around!
When school would come back into session, the Framaguccis would spend after school time at the Robinsons. They’d often help each other with homework and projects. Bud and Lucille were always fantastic science teachers.
Bud, Lucille, and Lewis would join Gaston and Franny to watch Art play football on Saturdays.
Art came up with Buster’s name.

The family finally got the call I'd been dreading ... grandpa Boo has passed. It did make the perfect opportunity for Buster and Dustin to meet their grandma.
Buster: wow grandma you get the bestest boniest hugs!

Welcome back! Completely irrelevant but your Oberon profile makes me jaw dropped because I didn't expect to find someone who in the fandom in IF community./pos
I'm glad to see another Master who has walked into Gacha Hell-
Oberon is my wife a bastard, but man, I love him so much. I managed to NP 2 him and had to force myself to stop cuz I had to save for Koyanskaya of Light (who is also NP2) because Buster Team go brr-
Lostbelt 6 screwed me over so much with its story, and the amazing characters, I adore it so much. The Fairy Knights, the Fae and everything was just chef's kiss. (Yes, even Beryl, homie better stay away from Mash) It's going to be a long road until Lostbelt 7 and I am not ready for it. Emotion and gameplay wise.
Until then, I'm just trying to save my gems for a certain beast mama, and er, I have nothing right now because I tried to get grandpa assassin and he said no to coming home.
It's always great to see other gacha players.

it's been awhile since i used this acc but admin is back into hypmic again so here we go! Realistic dating expectations for hypmic characters:
yipppeee here we go.
buster bros!!
hypmic characters, realistic expectations for dating:
ichiro: if you want to be with ichiro, then you should wait until his brothers are old enough to take care of themselves, even then, it might just be the same way forever, and good luck trying to date ichiro with jiro and saburo in the way. he takes family seriously as well, zero to no chance of it actually happening.
jiro: he's said before that he doesn't care for dating or girls, he just gets confused and wonders why it matters, so i don't think any girl would have a real chance with him, but if you're like one of the guys, then maybe.
saburo: saburo is a narcissistic asshole, so if you can stick with him for longer than a couple of weeks, then maybe it might work. Natural love is what he said that he wants, so take it slow, but you're most likely not going to have a chance with our little hacker boy
MAD TRIGGER CREW
samatoki: uh,,, good luck. But hey, he promised to never raise his hand to a woman so that's good. The relationship with him would probably dangerous, as yakuza work often is, definitely don't recommend it.
Jyuto: don't actually know too much about this one, but he's def into some kinky shit. His overtime is stupid and he works a lot, he probably also has a lot of enemies so be careful.
rio: uh.. wanna live in the woods and eat his survival cooking? are you sure?
Fling Posse
ramuda: ramuda belongs to everyone, having him to yourself is quite difficult, if you can be an onee-san/onii-san that sticks out to him enough, you might be able to be one of his models or a closer friend, but that's about it. watch out for his girlfriends.
gentaro: ehhh,,, good luck, I don't see why he wouldn't try dating, I don't really have anything else to say except watch out for the teasing.
dice: homeless man definitely will ask you for money if you're dating him. and he will gamble it all away. Be prepared to have a leech in your home.
Matenro
jakurai: he would definitely be a very nice partner, but he is also famous, so watch out for the grandpa's fangirls. And, watch out for drunkurai.
hifumi: ....he's terrified of women, so if you're a man there's a better chance, but, all of his fangirls will not like you.
doppo: not seeing him often during his job would be difficult, and all he wants to do on his breaks is sleep.. so... if you want to spend time with him, the best time to do it is just napping together, cuddling, and spending quality time when you can.
Bad ass temple
kuko: can monks even date? anyways, if he enters a romantic relationship with a person, the buddhist teachings state that nonattachment is important in romantic relationships, and to disregard attachments that cause pain, so kuko will love you unconditionally, and you have to do the same with him to make it work properly. anyways he's a little bit of an ass and a gremlin but once you're past that he's great dude.
jyushi: Oh the romance, he really wants it badly, but he will probably be a nervous little baby around you since he is a little crybaby. But all you have to do is love him for him and he will love you as well. Cuddle time is necessary.
Hitoya: I don't actually know enough about him, but, he is very dad-like. You're in good hands legally as well. Holding onto him on the back of his motorcycle? That's hot bro.
DOITSUITARE HOMPO
sasara: did someone say humor is important in relationships? anyways, he is definitely going to annoy you to death but he is really a sweet guy.
rosho: oh baby, oh sweetheart. Such a kind sensei. He's very smart, so i think dating him would be nice.
rei: uh, i'm not sure about this one, but I think he'd be a good sugar daddy. But be careful, he might abandon you like he did with his sons. lmao.
