#habit out here smooching the they gays

[ennaku-sirri-da]

Love and Floss the romance novel

[ ID: Traditional fanart of Dr Habit from Smile For Me the game with a fan-character, Clover Mcluckin. Edited digitally afterward. It is mostly done in grayscale, but some parts are colored.

In the artist’s redesign, Habit has a gaunt face with protruding furry cheeks, then red fur-ruffles under his makeup-applied eyes, then a thin pencil stache with surrounding hair on the chin and neck. On the neck is a visible Adams apple. He has a X-like scar near his mouth, and stitches on his neck and chest. His eyes are pink here, indicating affectionate feelings. He has on purple eyeshadow and red nails plus lipstick. All his hair is in shades of rose-pink.

In the front he has a Marilyn Monroe-inspired hairdo, with more curls and wavier hair. This is tied off with a red ribbon, and from there it is long and wavy hair ending in bouncy spiral curls. He wears his doctor’s bloodstained coat, the top is a bit unbuttoned and shows some chest hair. Habit gazes adoringly at Clover, holding their face in his long claws, which have marionette-like joints. Some of their hair spills through. He blushes from his face, neck, and upper chest.

Clover is a person with pink eyes, long half-dark half-green hair, some chin hair. They are wearing glasses, a necklace with a green clover charm and an off-the-shoulder sweater with black tank top straps showing. They also have some dark ear piercings and a pink flower tucked behind their ear. For makeup, they have on black eyeshadow and nails. They hold Habit’s arms and look up at him, smiling.

 Both their faces are so close, positioned before a kiss. Purple text in cursive beside them, underlined with wavy lines reads,‘’Love and Floss’’, the title of the cover for an imagined romance novel. There is a purple heart beside it.

Various real purple flowers decorate the top half, while the bottom half has pink flowers, including a large hibiscus. The whole image in the lined notebook is placed against bedsheets with patterns of large squares and flowers, which is in a faded, greyish color. end ID]

I think you should listen to this and bliss out...there’s a translation online..I’m always looking for an oppurtunity to plug in my Tamil tunes

Honestly I’m taken out by the idea of Habit going all Monroe on his hair in his dentist outfit, which he expressly wore in the game to take FK’s teeth out. God. LMAO. My friend said its like when magicians use pretty ladies to distract you from the tricks.

This is for @weirdpastelflower​, I saw a post wanting Habit X OC content, and that type of stuff really warms my heart since recently plus I wanted to practice my Habit. I hope you like him, person who wanted Habit kissing your OC. Well, they’re about to ;) (winky emote)

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

Hello, my dear friend! 😎

I hope you're having a wonderful day. I've come to fulfill my noble quest, as promised.

So, we've already had pregnant MC, which I adore and cherish, like all your works. What you do is amazing, and I hope you know that. You bring the kind of joy into our lives that I think does wonders for our weary souls. On top of that, you're one of the kindest souls I've ever met, and I'm lucky to have you in my life and be able to call you my friend. Seriously, you're a miracle and you make the world a better place.

But to my actual request. Could you please do headcanons about the M6 being pregnant? Seahorse dads are very much encouraged 👀 I often think about having children with Nadia, but I don't really like the idea of being pregnant myself (although our dear Countess does make me want to consider it every once in a while. The baby fever is very strong with her.) Plus, I'm certain there are other people like myself who prefer not to get pregnant or they simply can't for various reasons.

Thank you! Hugs to you and much love 🤗❤

Ps.: I'll kiss you if you do it (in a friendly but still very gay way)

The Arcana HCs: When M6 get pregnant

@theintrovertbean I'm here to collect my platonic but still very gay smooch, please :3 (In all seriousness though, I keep rereading your kind words and trying not to cry, that means so much to me. I'm so glad I get to call you my friend too!!)

-- CW for mpreg (obviously). for headcanon purposes, all members of the M6 want to have a child with MC and are happy with being the partner to be pregnant. whether this happens by natural means, depending on what reproductive system you headcanon them as having, or by *magic*, said baby is 50% your DNA and 50% theirs. --

Julian

Did the two of you take active steps to make it possible for him to carry your child? Yes. Did he think he would be fortunate enough for it work? No. Is he surprised now, even though it's planned? Yes

The most freaked out about what his body is in the process of doing. Again, this is something he agreed to and genuinely wants, but it's just so surreal to him that he keeps needing to rationalize it

His way of rationalizing things is to study them

This does not help his ever-present anxiety, especially when he has to limit his caffeine intake and his mood swings are even more intense than normal. He is going to bury himself in research

And then completely freak himself out with the assorted random weird facts, unhinged medical theories, and pregnancy horror stories that he encounters. Which isn't good for the baby

Speaking of, he keeps swinging wildly between being hyperaware of the tiny creature he's growing and completely forgetting about his state. Suddenly his self-care directly impacts someone else

Spending nine months with limited caffeine intake and 0 alcohol was actually very good for him. (even if it made him cranky at first)

The overall process was fairly smooth for him - he didn't have a lot of awful symptoms, and the only health scares were his own anxious "what if" spirals after reading horror stories before bed

Kept working the whole way through (though with considerably fewer hours so he could get more sleep), and generally did a great job whenever he wasn't thinking too hard about it all

Asra

They never actively envisioned this happening in their future, but when you brought up having kids in the first place they were already fairly open to the idea of being the one to carry the baby

There was definitely magic involved in the conception. He's too extra for there not to be (plus, a little boost never hurt anybody)

For such a normally chillaxed person, they did not take this decision lightly. Everything from planning, to conception, to preparing to raise a kid is full of intentionality

He wants to ensure that his kid gets a childhood that lasts as long as they need it to and a happy, safe environment to grow and explore. His baby fever wasn't intense but his nesting habits are

They get in several last crazy adventures before they start to feel the pregnancy and then spend the rest of it either sleeping, getting the baby's space ready, or eating the most unreal food combos

Seriously, you expected weird cravings, but considering how unusual his tastes already are you didn't think it could get much weirder. It can get so, so much weirder (he even managed to finally pry open that jar of kool-aid pickled garlic and put it in custard)

Between their parent's enthusiastic support and Nadia and Julian providing full medical backup, they are well looked after

Not to mention the pregnancy glow. He makes it look ethereal

They aren't fond of physical discomfort, though, and it makes them unusually broody and cuddly. Please give them snuggles

They spend weeks creating the most whimsical nursery

Nadia

She was actually the one to bring it up when she started talking about her expectations of marriage with you after proposing

For how strained her own relationship with her family is, she's more excited about starting one of her own with you than you expected. When you tell her that you want kids too, she's all for it

Sets a rule as soon as she tells her family that she won't be accepting more than two visitors at a time. Namar nearly revolts

Her pregnancy was not easy, at all. It was months before she could keep a full meal down, she was in near constant pain, and the fatigue was unrelenting. And she never let on in public, at all

Seriously, the only people who knew how hard it was were her close friends, trusted Palace people, and doctor. From the outside it was as if she couldn't feel it at all and life carried on as usual

The biggest noticeable difference (aside from her growing bump, which she somehow managed to make her draping clothes look even more regal with) was having Portia deliver speeches for her

Towards the final few months, it caught up to her enough that she couldn't be nearly as active as she used to. She turned one of her side chambers into her office and took all her meetings there

It also became evident how much the Palace staff loves their countess - the cooks worked tirelessly to find easy meals for her (and satiate every craving beyond the laws of culinary art)

Not to mention that the garden was immaculately kept

The amount of gifts for the baby took up several small closets

Muriel

He didn't bring it up. No, you brought it up, because of how out of hand his baby fever was getting. He'd gone from begrudgingly letting kids climb on him to actively offering to help watch them

Which turned into a lifestyle - he started spending all his free time carving toys so he could carry them in his pocket in case some shy toddler looked like they wanted one. You're running out of firewood

He offered to be the one to carry the baby, if you didn't want to

The psychological aspect of it is much harder for him than the physical. He knows his own body, he knows his strength and capacity for survival, and he's comfortable with what he's doing

But that is a whole other person-to-be he's growing, they deserve the best they can get, and he's not convinced he's the best

Is this ... selfish of him? Is this greedy? He knows he'll put everything he is into being a good parent, but what if someone else's best is better than his? MC, what are we doing??

These anxiety spirals happen frequently, either when he's gone too long sitting by himself or when the pregnancy insomnia makes it impossible for him to sleep the amount he normally likes to

On the plus side, the mood swings actually make it easier for him to express what he's feeling (and for you to know what's going on with him) so that you two can navigate it together

Asra is so excited to have a nibling that they stop by almost every day with baby gifts (and supplies from Nadia, once she knows)

He full body freezes every. single. time the baby moves

Portia

Oh, she's wanted to have a house full of kids since she was a kid in a house full of kids. She brought this up with you as soon as she started talking about a future together and she is so pumped

Literally nothing about the concept of it fazes her. She's helped with plenty of pregnancies and births, she's seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, and she is fully confident with you by her side

In her mind, this is the first of many (assuming all goes well, which she fully believes it will) so this is her chance to take things as they come and note them down for future reference

Keeps a daily journal with all her pregnancy observations, plus doctor's notes from weekly check-ups and plans for the baby

You didn't know pregnancy could make somebody more powerful but somehow she's done it. You expect it to catch up to her at some point and for her to take time off to rest, but she doesn't

The pregnancy glow is real and it is named Portia Devorak. You've never seen her hair so bouncy and full (shedding increases x10)

The biggest downside is that she can't stand the smell of cooking or baking anymore, which has long been one of her comfort activities. You'll have to manage meal prep (or partner with a chef)

Speaking of, half the Palace is asking for updates on a daily basis (which she happily provides). Nadia's showering her with more supplies and maternity leave than Portia wants to accept

Julian panicked about being the doctor until Mazelinka shoved him aside and took over as midwife. Portia's in skilled hands

Lucio

This was not planned. This was a happy accident. (Though Bob Ross never painted such a surprised, panicked, violent tree)

Whether because protection didn't work, or because Lucio saw a glowing orb in a weird dream and decided to mess with it while he was sleeping next to you, neither of you were remotely prepared

It doesn't really compute for him at first. The growing thing in his stomach is about as real as the tooth fairy - it's a concept that people tell him about before he goes back to daily life

It's a concept he's fiercely protective of and wants the best for

On a practical planning level, you two take advantage of his relatively easy first few months to take on a bunch of high paying jobs and revisit villages that seemed like a good spot to stay in

He's almost symptom-free until the bump really starts growing and his body starts adjusting for the extra weight. Thankfully by then you've found a place to settle down and reliable income

Lucio, understandably, becomes a complete diva once you do

He's pretty darn proud of what his body is doing, and he's relieved beyond words that he's having an easier time than what his mother described, but he does not like the way he looks

Or the aches and pains, or the breathlessness, or the way his whole body feels swollen and sore. (at least his hair looks nice)

You've never had such a hard time keeping him to his intended budget. He sees one (1) baby item and his wallet flies open

His sweet tooth gets 1000 times bigger than it already is

The kisses prompt

#48

Cadnis

I beg you

hello my dear thank you for the ask

and also welcome to i think the longest “drabble” i’ve done so far hehe oops

48, kisses out of habit

Cady wakes up to her phone buzzing relentlessly on her nightstand. She groans as she rolls over onto her stomach and gropes around for it with one eye half-open. She winces at the brightness of the screen and scrambles to turn it down so she can actually see what it has to show her.

9:12 am. Still more texts coming in from Janis.

April 30.

They’re getting married today.

She swipes up and taps in her passcode, since her phone can’t recognize her sleepy face. Taps her way into her text thread with Janis.

babycakes: you are responsible for me just kissing damian on the fucking lips

babycakes: he’s yelling at me

babycakes: Sent a video: he really can multitask

babycakes: making pancakes and yelling at me at the same time

babycakes: I JUST DKDKING DID IT AGAIN

babycakes: I CAN NEVER TALK TO DAMIAN AGAIN

babycakes: i hope you’re happy with yourself

babycakes: oh my GOD

caddycat: Ok

caddycat: Back this truck up about ten miles

babycakes: I KISSED DAMIAN

babycakes: ON THE MOUTH

babycakes: T W I C E

caddycat: Congratulations

caddycat: And what does that have to do with me exactly?

babycakes: YOU

babycakes: dame let me have a sleepover in his bed

babycakes: and i forgot

babycakes: and i’m used to kissing u first thing when we wake up

babycakes: BUT IT WADNT YOU IT WASHIM AND I LISSED DAMIAN ON TEHMOUTH

babycakes: and then he brought me breakfast

babycakes: and i kiss you when you do that

babycakes: AND I FUCKING DIDIT GAAIN

Cady would’ve answered Janis’ flurry of texts by this point, but she’s laughing too hard too. They keep coming as Cady rolls around on the bed, clutching her aching stomach with tears in her eyes.

The chortles slow to chuckles after a while and she wipes the tears from her eyes with a last burst of giggles.

caddycat: My congratulations to the happy couple

babycakes: NHIS IS NOT HOW OUR WEDING DAY JS SUPOOED TO GO

caddycat: Is Dame mad?

babycakes: Sent a video: maybe ??

Cady opens this video of Damian, continuing his rant from the first.

“You’re supposed to be gay!” It begins. “I’m supposed to be gay! Today is literally your wedding day and you go smooching me! What resemblance do I bear to Caddy? Huh? She’s, like, two feet tall and maybe three pounds! Her hair is fucking red, Janis! Red! I am built like if a horse was a human and you say you kissed me because you thought I was her!”

Janis is giggling to herself in the background, but it sounds nervous. “It was habit! I swear!”

Damian is unphased. “I am supposed to be officiating your wedding in, like, eight hours! And here you go smooching the minister!”

“It’s a habit! Caddy and I kiss every morning when we first wake up!”

“Aww,” Damian coos before he gets back into it. “Anyway! Motherfucker! You can’t do this to me! Not today, do you have any idea how stressed I am?!”

The video ends there, sending Cady into another fit of giggles.

caddycat: He sounds mad

babycakes: are u mad ?

caddycat: Of course not

babycakes: oh

babycakes: good

caddycat: I think it’s cute

babycakes: motherfucker

caddycat: Hey now

caddycat: I’m about to be your wife

babycakes: hehe

babycakes: yeah

babycakes: can we go do that now?

caddycat: Thought you’d never ask

—-

Many, many hours later finds them doing exactly that. The two of them in long white dresses, hair and makeup done, all their friends and family dressed to the nines.

And the two of them, together.

“I now pronounce you wives. You may kiss. Each other, Janis.���

Janis barely snorts a laugh before grabbing her wife’s face and pulling her up to her lips. Cady smiles into the kiss and winds her arms around her wife’s waist. She’s smiling so hard she has to break it for a second. Janis smiles back before they lean back in.

“You are the best habit I’ve ever had,” she whispers when they break the second time.

Cady just smiles wider and pulls her in again.

[yestrday]

YESTER. I kind of went on a binge reading spree of ur genshin stuff oops .. but omg I never realized how good your characterizations are until reading all of your aus side by side??? LIKE, I already thought ur characterizations of the characters was good, but OMG reading ur aus just made me srsly appreciate them. I DONT GET HOW U DO IT??? u manage to keep small tidbits of canon lore or eastereggs in these aus, while keeping them kinda separate and distant from canon teyvat, but u also manage to capture and keep the characters canon personalities consistent while adding your own little yandere twists. WHICH IS SOMETHING I THINK IS INSANELY IMPRESSIVE, from my personal experience of writing yandere, I kind of get swept up in making them a yandere to realize it's too ooc for them until it's too late, but i have never felt that you have wrote any of the charas too ooc even once. WHICH, LIKE, HOW????? how do u manage to add these delicious subtle yandere tendencies to some characters and then the more obvious yandere tendencies to other characters while all making it fit with the character as a whole?? like I'm over here nodding my head like "yes, that makes total sense considering his personality 🧐🥸" sorry if this doesn't rly make sense BUT ITS JUST SO COOL. and I also really like how u keep your yandere headcanons for characters consistent / staying in character across aus while keeping them specifically catered to that au?? :P I DONT REALLY KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT 😭 but the way u keep some of their yandere tendencies (like venti and his perversion LMAOO) consistent no matter if it's the academy au, househusband au, or hybrid au is really cool, and it's not overdone to the point that it's like I know what to expect?? (does that make sense pls jelp) like ya venti has his perverted habits regardless of which au, but at the same time, u add something to each au that makes it slightly different and therefore unique so it's not repetitive and overused (???) IDK I JUST REALLY LIKE THE WAY U WRITE THESE LITTLE GENSHIN LOSERS LMFAOO

HELP SORRY THIS GOT SO LONG I just meant to make a cool little comment about ur writing but it kind of turned into rambling 😭💀💀

also happy pride month to u or ur followers if any of them r gay WOOHOO GAY PPL 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈👍

omg babe this long ass essay's got me in love come here and let me give u a big smooch <3

ANYWAYS IM HAPPY SOMEONE APPRECIATES THIS... everytime i start working on my aus, i open the boy's genshin wiki and start reading the fuck out of the lore just so that i can have a good read on their personality... there's also some litle trivias there that if you expand on can make for some pretty good yandere

anyways anon you're so hot for this essay and HAPPY PRIDE MONTH TO THE ALPHABET COMMUNITY 🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

[constellaj]

top ten danny phantom episodes based solely on how gay dash is in them

i will not be ranking these based on plot, animation, or literally any other criteria ok here we go

10: Public Enemies

dash himself is not very gay in this one but danny does beat him up and he gets the angst of being possessed and not remembering what happens. also this screenshot is literally so gay

4/10 for wasted potential in proving dash is gay. this couldve gone so much harder. but bonus points for for passed out dash

9: Doctor’s Disorders

fellas is it gay to lock yourself in a bathroom stall so fenturd doesnt see the horrible monster youve become, tell him to ‘get away,’ and then pass out before being able to fight him despite being a school jock who could probably deal some damage and has a better immune system than the other kids? is it also gay to then when your entire life revolves around ghosts and having ghost powers to watch a sappy romcom while waiting for phantom to come save you? the answer is yes. 6/10 again it couldve gone harder

8: Frightmare

again dash himself isnt explicitly gay in this episode. but danny why is your ultimate dream scenario being best friends with dash and having him know your secret. it gets a higher rating than the other two bc its literally a wish fulfillment scenario aka 174% more gay. but mathematically speaking 2/10 for baiting me with dash in the first two minutes and then never bringing him back

7: Forever Phantom

“watch it, fentertainment tonight! i’m chasin’ a real somebody!” 10/10

also spending the entire episode devoted to hanging with phantom + another reference to the romance channel. not very nuanced but still very gay

6: Reality Trip

what do you think it means when the school jock finds out your secret, wastes exactly 0 time in helping you, and finds a way to shoehorn in giving you his clothes to wear while doing it. dash was only in this entire movie for like 4 minutes but damn if he wasnt homosexual for all of them 7/10

5: Ultimate Enemy

”but dash wasn’t even IN the ultimate enemy!!11!1!” EXACTLY. if older dash had been in the future with dark dan he simply would have smooched him and then there would have been no conflict. if younger dash had shown up to the big fight then dark dan wouldve broke down sobbing at what couldve been. they had to restrain dash from this entire episode bc of his power. 9/10 i know the truth.

4: Splitting Images

it is important to remember that dash has no goddamn idea that’s sidney. danny literally does 1 (one) nice thing for him and dash decides “ok well i will be his best friend and play football with him and be impressed by his skills and then throw a party and also put my hands on his shoulders several times.” this proves my point that if danny werent a little shit he and dash would already have been dating by the time the show starts. 8/10 for letting dash be mundanely gay instead of knowing anything about ghosts. it doesnt happen very often

3: Attack of the Killer Garage Sale

do you ever just get a tutor who happens to be the exact sister of that nerd you pick on and also call him a twink and then invite him to your party even though you do not have to and specifically tell him the dress code and get him at the popular kids table and then realize he might not have the money for the dress code so you intentionally seek him out to give him money for some computery thing you dont know about but you also also realize that probably isnt enough so last minute you change the entire dress code to something you know he has and wear his exact outfit to make him seem cool by comparison. do you ever do that.

also these two shots are back to back 10/10

2: Micro Management

the pièce de résistance of all dash content. im talking 20 minutes of nonstop dash. im talking taking every opportunity to talk about how cool phantom is. im talking abt getting grabbed by phantom to be saved by him. im talking abt having a mental breakdown cause you think youre not good enough. im talking about casually flirting via jokes. im talking being unable to stop thinking abt fenton even when youre face to face with your biggest hero. im talking about saying “we did it!!! :D” to cheer on said hero. im talking taking his hand. holding his hand. being lifted or pulled. im talking abt flipping the switch to save the day! im talking abt micro fucking management baybey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 12/10

but what in the goddamn world could have more gay dash than micro management??? well ill tell you

1: Pirate Radio

he SAVES him. he calls him a hero. they are on EQUAL FOOTING and they KNOW IT. they have MATCHING GODDAMN OUTFITS!!!!!!!!!!! dashs personality doesnt have to be absolutely scrapped for him to be gay (”but i will be wailing on you”) but he clearly DOES get better (”sorry, old habits.”) he puts his heart and soul into fighting side by side w danny and we dont even SEE dashs parents which means that is Not Exactly The Reason he Is Here. he also believes with 0 hesitation that fenton is capable of throwing a total rager. NO there is not as much dash here as in micro management but. i mean look at these screenshots. THIS is gay representation. THESE are some genuine fucking boyfriends. 18/10

Can’t Sleep Love

Carmen Sandiego x Fem Reader

[Authors Note: Enjoy my little homosexual!

P.S. You will now be Peanut Anon]

     It took many hours to plan a caper, even with Player’s help. Carmen was used to staying up late and could function on very little sleep. You? You needed your sleep. Yet you didn’t want your girlfriend to be lonely or overworked. She had a bad habit of pushing herself to the point of unnecessary pain. You placed a mug down next to her on the coffee table. “Thought you could use some hot chocolate.” She smiled at you, tilting her head in your direction. “You spoil me too much.” Carmen leaned back into the sofa, stretching her arms out. “Head on to bed sweet girl, I’ll be there soon.” You rolled your eyes and took the seat right next to her, blanket still wrapped around your shoulders. “Knowing you soon could mean three hours.” 

Her arm wrapped around your shoulder as you leaned closer into her. “I’d rather stay here with you anyways. I can’t really sleep alone.” You sheepishly admitted, causing her to chuckle. “Aww you flatter me, doll.” Carmen planted a kiss on your forehead then on your cheeks, causing you to giggle. “Seriously? What did I do to deserve you?” She both arms wrapped around you in a tight squeeze. “My cool,” Smooch. “Kick ass,” Smooch. “Girlfriend.” Smooch.

She released her grip you still leaned next to her, giggles quieted down as you wrapped your arms around her waist. You may have clung to her like a koala but she didn’t seem to mind. You closed your eyes, being able to drift off in her presence. 

“Thanks Player, couldn’t have done this without your help.” Carmen logged off the call and shut off the laptop. She went to stand up, only to realize you were still clinging to her. She looked down at you sleeping blissfully, her phone was taken out as she snapped a picture. “Cute.” She spoke quietly to herself as she picked you up and took you to your shared room with her. 

You were wrapped securely under the blankets yet you still stirred when Carmen was no longer in your grasp. “Alright, alright,” She rolled her eyes and laid next to you. “Even in your sleep you’re needy, not that I’m complaining.” You lay in each other’s arms once more, able to drift off together. 

[nothing-more-than-hot-leaf-juice]

here lies the complete story of the Crocverse (AtLA zukka modern AU)

The general facts are as follows: 

Iroh owns a croc store and Zuko works there

Sokka works at Trader Joe’s and loves crocs

Bending is a thing

Jeong Jeong owns an antique store and is furious the croc store ruined the vibe of the strip mall

Sokka and Zuko go on a date to Olive Garden

Toph and Zuko hate crocs

Bumi owns a Jamba Juice

Worldbuilding 

This takes place in Florida

Bending is a thing, but it is unclear whether or not the Avatar is a thing 

The 2008 financial crisis was a thing that happened in this universe 

Characters 

Iroh is the new owner of the strip mall Croc store. He loves and appreciates crocs in a big dorky way. 

Zuko is his disgruntled nephew who works at the Croc store. He hates crocs with a passion and is in kind of a Linkin Park phase. (He is not an eboy, no one is an eboy, society has moved past the need for eboys.) 

Sokka works at the local Trader Joe’s. He wears Hawaiian shirts all the gd time. He is incredibly excited about the croc store and gets addicted to buying crocs. He also likes wearing a ‘men want me, fish fear me’ hat and sometimes completes his ensembles with fanny packs. 

Katara works at a Petsmart. 

Jeong Jeong owns an antique store next to the croc store and is pissed that the croc store ruined the vibe of the strip mall. 

It is undecided whether or not Aang works at Bumi’s Jamba Juice or if he works at the Trader Joe’s bakery. Regardless, he’s more of a Birkenstocks guy and finds that crocs and airbending don’t really work together. 

Piandao is the Trader Joe’s manager. 

Hakoda is currently deployed and Sokka is trying his best to cope (with unhealthy shopping habits). 

Dynamics 

Zuko goes to Jamba Juice a lot. Toph also goes to Jamba Juice a lot. They become buds because they go ‘well we’re both loners going into school with few or no friends and we both love Jamba Juice and hate crocs, that’s as good a place as any to start a friendship’ 

Sokka loves to explore Jeong Jeong’s antique store. Jeong Jeong considers Sokka to be a local menace (and he’d never say it but he’s his local menace and would be hurt if Sokka started poking around another antique store). 

Iroh really wants to be friends with Jeong Jeong (who could honestly use a friend, he’s kind of a hermit). Jeong Jeong is firmly annoyed that Iroh ruined the vibe of the strip mall. 

Zuko likes hanging out at the antique store and occasionally runs into Sokka. He voices his displeasure for the croc store on multiple occasions and Jeong Jeong feels incredibly validated. 

Zuko has kind of just planned to not have friends for his senior year. Iroh thinks that unacceptable. 

Iroh loves Sokka’s outfits a whole lot and compliments them all the time (while also trying to set him up with Zuko as friends). 

Sokka initially thinks Zuko is just kind of weird and asocial, but then one day at Petsmart he’s bothering Katara at work and he sees Zuko sitting on the floor of the reptile section just looking at all the tanks. Katara tells Sokka that Zuko basically does this every other day and Sokka realizes how soft this guy is and just kind of goes ‘oh’. 

Sokka goes to the crocstore and buys some pride crocs to send a message to Zuko. Zuko is oblivious. 

Eventually, Sokka pulls the “so… do you want to do an activity together?” and Iroh comes over with a “he’d LOVE to” and gives them an Olive Garden gift card. 

Sokka hopes Zuko thinks this is an actual date, Zuko is unclear on whether or not this is a date but puts on a button down shirt just in case, and Iroh doesn’t realize it’s 100% a date until Zuko comes out with his shirt and Iroh decides that it is of the utmost importance that he does Zuko’s hair. 

The details of the date have been decided on….but @animegenork is writing the actual fic and if you really want the sweet, soft zukka details you’ll have to wait. All I’ll say is there are turtleducks and smooching involved. 

Relevant Backstory 

Iroh didn’t actually want to own a croc store. He used to own his own tea/coffee store, but when the economy tanked and his son died, it ended up going bust. 

Iroh didn’t have much contact with his brother after Lu Ten died because Ozai was an unsympathetic asshole about it. The last time he saw his brother’s family was at Azulon’s funeral. 

A few years after the falling out with Ozai (and Iroh’s contact with his niece and nephew being basically reduced to birthday phone calls) Iroh finally upgrades to an iPhone with Facetime. When he calls for Zuko’s birthday, Iroh is VERY FUCKING DISPLEASED to see that someone has burned off half of Zuko’s face (and it doesn’t take much thinking for him to guess who). 

Iroh scoops Zuko up ASAP and Zuko moves in with him. 

Iroh attempts to bring Azula, but she firmly does not want to go with him and Iroh can’t exactly just kidnap a child in this day and age. 

So instead of reinvesting in a new tea shop, Iroh invests his time in legal work to go after Ozai for being the Fucking Worst™. 

He also puts Zuko in therapy, because god knows the kid needs it. 

Iroh worked in middle management for various retail stores and landed a management position in a croc store. Eventually, he opened up his own branch in Florida (which is where our story starts). 

And really, it wasn’t Iroh’s dream to own a croc store, but he accepts that life doesn’t always go exactly how you plan it. Iroh recognizes that what he can focus on is bringing joy to people and trying to project kindness into the world every day. Maybe you end up onwing a croc store. Maybe you’re in a bunch of bs legal crap because your brother is a monster and there are two kids who need someone, but you can make the best of it and it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy simple pleasure where you find them. 

Other details 

The Crocverse is a Mouth Wheat Boy Free Zone. Jet is just not a croc person. Jet has no reason to enter the croc store. This AU does not have room for Jet. I’m sorry Jet stans. (I’m not.) 

Zuko and Sokka are upcoming high school seniors (age 17). 

Katara is an upcoming junior (16), Aang is an upcoming sophomore (15), and Toph is an upcoming freshman (14). 

The swampbenders are frequent patrons of the croc store because they’re good for marshy areas.

The only people who are actually croc enthusiest in this world are Sokka and Iroh. 

Sokka likes wearing neon turquoise crocs the most. 

Sometimes Iroh wears rainbow tie dye crocs to support his gay nephew .

Final words 

This is what I meant when I said the Crocverse was never really about the crocs. The crocs were just a framing device, they’re just how we got here. At its core, the crocverse is about these characters and their struggles, and more importantly how they find each other despite the struggles. It’s about Zuko learning how to make friends. It’s about Iroh wanting the best for his nephew and trying to make the best of a less than ideal situation. It’s about Sokka trying to figure out what to do now that his dad is gone and learning how to open up about it instead of cope with unhealthy shopping habits and deflection. It’s about going to Petsmart and spending an hour looking at the reptiles because you deserve it. It’s about going to Jamba Juice and making friends with the other loners. It’s about learning that you don’t have to be alone. It’s about ditching Olive Garden for a better date somewhere else and smooching the ridiculous Hawaiian shirt Trader Joe’s employee because he’s funny and caring and maybe, just maybe, you deserve that. It’s about letting new people enter your life when you think you have to be alone. It’s about being teenagers together before life starts for real. It’s about, above all else, finding those weirdos who will be there for you and accept you for all your quirks and baggage. 

And that’s the Crocverse. I will shut up about it forever now.

*kicking at your door, smashing it* DING DONG

Hello! 🥰🌸

from "Questions You Should Be Able To Answer For Any OTP" 1,3,4,5,9 and 10 for moanida!😅💜 But you can answer all of them or only few of them is it's too much ahaha

Ily, take care!!

YEAH BOIIII

Coffee shop AU: Who is the barista, and who frequents the coffee shop?

I'm just imagining Moana being a barista at some hole-in-the-wall authentic Polynesian coffee place by the beach, and of course Merida because she damn well needs her caffeine in the morning or she'll pass out, and Rapunzel insists on starting these fucking Squad Beach Days early. Merida was honestly willing to take the first cup of coffee she could get when the gang first went into town, but uhhhhhh oh GOD that girl behind the counter is cute!!! Merida starts "ending up" in there quite a lot, although initially she can barely string a coherent sentence together in front of that cute barista and can't make eye contact for more than half a second. Extroverted as she can be, Merida dissolves into an absolute mess as soon as a pretty girl is involved XD

Merida also pretends to only like black coffee to make herself seem tough, but in reality she kind of hates it and prefers sugar-laden lattes and sweet teas. After a while, when she and Mo have established kind of a friendship, and Merida can have an conversation with Mo without imploding and making an idiot of herself, Mo notices Mer making a face every time she sips her Plain Black Coffee and kinda smirks and is like “You know, there’s no shame in adding sweeteners. I mean, for god’s sake, my favorite drink here is the blonde vanilla coconut latte, and I’m still pretty tough.” Merida is just like “OH THANK GOD” and finally admits that she’d much rather be ordering an Irish crème, toffee, buttered rum, cinnamon, or caramel latte. If the seasonal flavor selection offers any apple-accented or apple pie-esque lattes, Merida’s all about that shit, too! Probably the most “intense” drink Merida actually enjoys is a pretty spicy cinnamon latte. She ends up ordering this pretty frequently to impress Moana with her spice tolerance, even though she really doesn’t need to.

Also, in case there’s any question about it--yes, Moana absolutely memorizes Merida’s orders! Moana also memorizes what flavor syrups Merida seems to like best (i.e. spicy cinnamon, apple pie, caramel, toffee, butterscotch) and gives them extra shots of them in her drinks. When the manager complains about all of Merida’s favorite flavor syrups running out frequently, Moana is like “Oh nooooo, I have no idea why THAT could be! That’s terrible!”

Rivals to lovers AU: Who takes their rivalry seriously, and who is half in it just to push the other’s buttons?

I love the idea of them having a super-petty sports rivalry in a modern AU! Merida strikes me as being competitive as hell, so I’m betting anything she’d be the one to take it way too seriously and get increasingly annoyed with Moana outdoing her, while Mo kind of gives in and indulges Mer but is also secretly amused and kind of flattered that Mer is like...that into their rivalry. Moana’s just like *Regina George voice* “Why are you so OBSESSED with me???”

Like maybe in a modern-day college AU, Merida has been the star of her college’s archery team basically since freshman year. She wins the championships!!! She gets the trophies!!! She’s very well-known within the tiny niche community that is college archery!!! Then, come junior year, this girl in Merida’s year who Merida’s never even SEEN before shows up out of nowhere and makes the cut for the team. She’s honestly way better than she has any right to be (like judging by how she is with that harpoon gun, Moana’s aim is pretty damn good) and is constantly stealing the spotlight, and Merida is a very angry lass. Like it seems like no matter what she does, Moana can always one-up her, and Merida wants to tear her hair out in frustration. Doesn’t help that every time Moana does ridiculously good on a drill and gets 7 bullseyes in a row or some shit, she’s insufferably smug and cocky about it. Merida very-nearly throws a fit every time Mo outdoes her, and Moana honestly finds the whole thing pretty amusing. She’s sort of flattered that apparently only she can get such dramatic reactions out of Mer, and that just tempts her to push Mer’s buttons all the more.

Then, come the annual Big Archery Tournament Finals! As usual, Merida’s college’s team wins--although this time, it’s through a combination of Merida’s and Moana’s skills rather than just Merida kicking archery ass for like 2 hours straight. On the individual evaluations, Moana scores higher than Merida, but only by a little bit. Merida is, of course, extremely salty, but she’s also grudgingly grateful that Moana being there was able to give their team a definitive edge in the competition.

Afterwards, the team goes out for celebratory drinks. After probably 3 drinks too many, Moana finally works up the courage to try and actually like...have a straight conversation with Merida for once, instead of just communicating with passive-aggressive show-offery. She wanders over, sits next to Mer at the bar, and half-slurredly asks if she can declare a truce just for one night, in honor of their kind-of-teamwork winning the tournament. Merida is also a few drinks in, so she’s just like “sure, fuck it, maybe yer not so bad after all. Now prove to me you’re not a pain in the arse!”

They chat for a while, and it turns out Moana is actually pretty easygoing and fun to talk to when she’s not mega-flexing with her archery skills. After a few more drinks, Moana is like “...can I tell you something?” and Merida’s like “why not?”

And then Moana just goes bright red and looks away and admits that the whole reason she got into archery and boosted up her skills enough to join the team in the first place was because she saw Merida making like 50 bullseyes at the previous year’s tournament, and developed a huge crush on her--to the point where she did all this extra-ass shit just so she could join the archery team and get to know Merida better. Also, every instance of Moana acting smug and cocky after acing a drill or perfectly hitting a target? It was honestly because she was trying to impress and show off to Merida, and also because she’s awkward as hell and has no idea how to actually flirt without being joke-mean and joke-cocky. Merida, a much more emotional drunk than she will ever admit, starts crying and gets super apologetic, because oh god, she was being so mean and rude to this girl who only ever thought she was cool and wanted to impress her from the jump??? How COULD she??? Moana lowkey loses her shit laughing because how mad Merida got at being upstaged was honestly kind of hilarious, and she was actually really flattered that Merida was, again, that obsessed with their rivalry. It made Moana feel weirdly special that only she could get to Merida that much, and she honestly liked the attention, even if it...wasn’t the most positive XD And Merida starts laughing, too, because she’ll admit that in hindsight, this whole thing feels a little ridiculous, and extracurricular college archery really isn’t that big of a deal.

Finally, Merida just rolls her eyes and says “C’mere, yeh bloody show-off yeh” and grabs Moana by the front of her archery uniform and smooches her!!! The entire archery team hoots and hollers because OH SHIT, DAT GAY!!! Merida holds out her other hand and flips the entire team off, which honestly just makes them cheer more.

Enemies to lovers AU: Which one switches sides?

Depends a lot on the conflict, I think! Maybe a war breaks out in an AU where someone other than Moana is chosen to return the Heart of Te Fiti--I’m gonna say Tui, for irony’s sake! Moana and Sina take over as co-chiefs while he’s gone, but he takes significantly longer than Moana did in the quest, so Moana’s tribe is eventually forced to flee Motunui to find new fishing grounds before their island is overtaken by darkness. The people of Motunui sail across the world, trying to find a new place to call home. Unfortunately, every time they find a habitable place, it’s already occupied, and the people who live there are uninterested in sharing their already-scarce food.

Eventually they stumble upon Dunbroch, far enough away from Motunui that the seas aren’t affected by the spreading darkness, and fish are plentiful. Naturally, Moana’s tribe sets up a camp on the shores and starts catching as many fish as they can, hoping they’ve finally found a place where they can have enough to eat again. Unfortunately Fergus and Elinor aren’t too crazy about this, and are like “yo, these oceans and these fish and other game belong to the people of Dunbroch and you gotta leave” and Sina and Moana are like “Pls we don’t have any place to go and we’ve been barely eating for a long-ass time, can’t you spare some food?” and Fergus and Elinor are like “sorry bro, it’s almost winter and we have our own entire kingdom to look after, we don’t need more mouths to feed. You gotta be on your way or shit’s gonna get real.”

So Moana thinks this sounds sketch as fuck because like...there’s an entire forest full of deer, rabbits, and other game, and they have NO food they can spare??? That night, Sina sends Moana to spy on the kingdom, since she can be pretty sneaky when she wants. Moana manages to climb the castle battlements and watch through a window, and she sees a bunch of people enjoying a massive feast in a huge dining hall. Her eyes are particularly drawn to a girl about her age with a head full of bright, fiery curls, wearing a nice dark green dress and gorging herself on pastries adorned with white icing and raspberries.

Moana heads back and tells Sina “actually it looks like these assholes have PLENTY of food to spare, and they just want to keep it all for themselves” and Sina is like “well shit...why don’t we raid their food store, then??? They’ve gotta have one somewhere!” And so the Motunui village storms Castle Dunbroch at dawn, catching them almost completely by surprise.

The first thing Moana does is seek out the redheaded pastry girl, whom she’s developed a particular disdain for. When she rushes her, she’s surprised that the ginger girl whips around and immediately sends an arrow sailing into her shoulder. When Moana gets close, the redheaded girl pulls out a sword. Moana takes out a long, sharpened wooden spear made from a particularly tough oar.

She turns out to be much more competent than Moana expected, especially for someone who was shamelessly shoving sweets into her mouth not 7 hours earlier.

They go toe to toe Raya-and-Namaari style, and the redheaded girl admittedly gives Moana a run for her money. The longer the battle goes on, the more Moana’s rage grows. She taunts the redheaded girl the entire time, calling her a spoiled, selfish brat who’d rather gorge herself with all the sugar in the world than share even one grain of it. Merida, who hasn’t exactly heard good things about these people from her parents, is just like “well, you’re no better, showing up and thinking you can just steal what belongs to Dunbroch and we won’t put up a fight!”

And thus the war begins. Motunui is never quite strong enough to get through the guards and raid the food stores, and Dunbroch is never quite strong enough to fully drive Motunui out of the kingdom. Fergus and Moana are both far too stubborn to surrender (despite the fact that Sina is kind of ready to), and so the battles continue. Casualties start to pile up. Dunbroch seeks help from the other clans, but they refuse--they did not take their leaders’ sons being scorned by the Dunbroch princess lightly.

Over and over, Moana can’t help but be drawn to the redheaded girl. She realizes after a few battles that this girl isn’t just anymore, but the Dunbroch princess--her resemblance to the king and his protectiveness over her can’t be a coincidence. It only makes Moana hate her more--but time and time again, she isn’t able to get the better of the princess. Moana can fight hard, and she can be vicious--but so, she’s discovering, can the Dunbroch girl. The princess is clever and cunning, and underestimating her has almost gotten Moana a blade in the throat one too many times.

Merida would be the one to change sides eventually, I think (wooo! Finally got to the actual question!). Once she finds out her parents didn’t tell her the whole truth about their first meeting with the Motunui village and sorta fudged what happened, Merida is livid that they turned away people who needed help. She said if she had known there were people who were tired and hungry and just needed a place to rest, she would have gladly given up some of her own meals for them! To prove this, she gathers up her dinner--plus some apples and some pastries she was going to have for dessert--and puts it in a basket, taking it to the Motunui camp as a peace offering. Moana ambushes her and very nearly slices the basket in half, if only because Moana was convinced it was filled with venemous snakes. After some bickering, Moana finally snatches the food away and, after testing it to make sure it wasn’t poisoned, brings it to Sina.

Unfortunately, one basket of food isn’t enough to feed the village, and the fighting continues. Merida tries to convince her parents to share their food stores with Motunui, but they still refuse, saying they need those stores for their own people and the Motunui people killed any chance of goodwill they might get when they attacked. Determined not to see people starve, Merida starts stealing from the reserve herself and sneaking the food out to the Motunui camp. Moana is feeling a lot more kindly towards Merida at this point, and feels a little bad about being so quick to judge her initially.

Eventually, Fergus and Elinor notice the food in the stores going missing, and figure some of the Motunui villagers must be running stealth operations to sneak in and get it. Dunbroch launches a full-scale attack on Montunui--while Merida is at their camp sneaking them food, in fact. Fergus makes a beeline for Moana. Word has gotten out by now of the times she managed to spy on the castle, so her sneakiness is well-known--and Fergus is all but certain she’s the thief. He charges at her with his sword, aimed to kill, when his own daughter steps in the way.

He barely manages to stop himself, but he does just in time. Merida admits she was stealing the food the whole time, and she can’t let Fergus hurt Moana. Fergus demands to know why, and Merida tearfully admits “Because I love her!”

Fergus, in a rage, takes out his sword again and charges Merida. Swords clash between father and daughter, and Merida looks like she’s just about to be overpowered. Moana can see the fear and betrayal in her eyes, appalled that her father would actually contemplate hurting her.

Not wanting to see whether he actually would, Moana steps in and helps Merida to fend Fergus off. “Enough!” she screams. “How can you live with yourself? My father risked his life to try to save his daughter and his people--and you’re willing to fight yours because she doesn’t agree with all this senseless violence?! You make me sick! I’m standing with Merida, because...because I love her too. I’ll leave if you want, but I want this to end.”

This finally snaps Fergus out of it, and he and Elinor decide that maybe the fighting has gone on long enough--and maybe it’s not worth it anymore, if it’s pitting them against their own daughter now. They end up trying to work out something with Motunui. Establishing a peace treaty and figuring out how to proceed forward is a long and messy process, but everyone is willing to put in the work--for the sake of Merida and Moana, if for nothing else.

Soulmate AU: Who is eager to meet their soulmate? Who absolutely does not want to meet their soulmate?

Neither of them want to meet their soulmate XD Merida has just been repulsed by the idea of marriage and commitment since she was young, mainly because she can’t not see it as just a means of taking her freedom away and making her be subservient to someone. Besides, given the, um...heteronormative culture of Dunbroch and all, she assumes she’ll get not just stuck with, but cosmically bound to a man and that idea just...doesn’t do anything but fill her with unadulterated disgust XD Like please no, she’s perfectly happy to go where she pleases when she pleases with no one but Angus for company. The last thing she needs is some stuck-up, snot-nosed boy telling her what she can and can’t do.

Moana has similar concerns, although maybe a bit less extreme. She’s mainly worried that when she meets her soulmate and, as per expectation, marries them, she’ll be expected to “mature” into a full adult and fully embrace her responsibilities as chief, leaving behind her childhood dreams of exploring the ocean. Same as Merida, she’s worried the person she’s destined for will tie her down and prevent her from exploring and going on the adventures she craves so badly. She’s also, like Merida, worried she’ll get stuck with some lame, boring dude who she’ll be destined for because...he loves her!!! And will be really nice to her!!! But will not stimulate or interest her in any way whatsoever!!! And Moana is pretty uninterested in romance and dating regardless, so the idea of any kind of romantic partner who she’d hypothetically have to run crazy ideas by before just doing them doesn’t sound too appealing to her. Like, she’s happy where she is and having her friends and family for company, what does she need an SO for??? It just feels like the whole “soulmate” business is just the universe attempting to give her a babysitter, and Moana ain’t about that. She can do things on her own, dammit!!! And what makes the great elder love gods think she wants another person to keep track of on her escapades, anyways?!? It’s enough effort keeping herself safe without worrying about someone else!

Imagine their shocked delight when each finds out their soulmate is a) a girl and b) a girl arguably just as chaotic, adventurous, and rebellious as they are!!! They meet and they’re like “huh...maybe the universe wasn’t being some big dumb fucking idiot binding us together after all. I can work with this!!!”

Pirate AU: Who is the pirate? Who is the member of the royal family who did not sign up for this?

Merida is the pirate! Or at least...the one who becomes a pirate first! XD Maybe to escape her betrothal she steals a ship and flees Dunbroch, and BOOM trouble on the High Seas time!!! Eventually she sails to the south Pacific on her naval escapades, and stumbles on Motunui. When she finds out Moana is a chief’s daughter, she naturally kidnaps her and holds her for ransom--because screw it, she hasn’t successfully pillaged any merchant ships recently and she needs some cash. But instead of being like “Noooo take me home!” Moana is like “Actually this fucks, I’ve always wanted to sail the ocean anyways and my dad wouldn’t let me before, so you’ve accidentally given me an avenue to achieve my dreams!!! Thank you!!!” And Merida realizes that a first mate would actually be a lot more useful in the long run than a handful of hostage money, so she just kind of shrugs like “aight, yer on the crew.”

Merida is a bit salty because Moana takes to the pirate lifestyle excellently--so much so that before long, she’s arguably a better pirate than Merida XD While Merida is a bit cranky about being outdone in the art of piracy, she also can’t help but admire Moana’s natural aptitude for sailing and propensity for mischief on the High Seas!!!

Their ship is called “The Arrow,” and Merida definitely uses her bow during pirate-to-pirate combat! She teaches Moana how to shoot a bow, but discovers Mo is pretty nifty with a harpoon gun as well!

Childhood best friends AU: Which one was super obviously in love with the other the whole time? Who was oblivious until they were older?

Oooooh, this is a fun one!!! Admittedly I don’t usually think about these girls in a Childhood Friends to Lovers AU (very possibly due to...geographical constraints lol) so this’ll be a cool thought experiment!

SO in order to fix my unfortunate geographical constraints, I’m gonna say that this is an AU where the people of Motunui were wayfinders from the jump, and while voyaging (admittedly a LONG way), they stumbled upon Dunbroch. Moana’s parents and Merida’s parents immediately hit it off, and established a political alliance of sorts.

Moana, meanwhile, pulled the classic “little girl on vacation/at an event immediately seeks out other little girl and becomes best friends with her.” Moana and Merida naturally also hit it off immediately, and are both pretty bummed out when Tui and Sina want to leave and continue voyaging and such. However, they make plans to visit as frequently as they can and Merida and Moana are super hyped about this! They both always get extremely excited for said visits, and Little Moana nearly falls off the front of her family’s boat several times because she’s leaning over so far and squinting so hard to try and see Dunbroch.

I love the idea that Moana was the one who was totally smitten from the jump, to the point where it took her years to realize she was aspec because she was like “Of course I can fall in love!!! I’m in love with Merida!!!” She just didn’t realize most people have romantic inclinations toward more than one person over the course of their lives XD

It absolutely does not help that Merida is extremely romance-repulsed when they’re kids--mainly because she associates romance in general with being docile and acting stupid to impress some annoying macho guy, and that thought kinda makes her want to puke. That, and given how, er...heteronormative things are in Dunbroch, it doesn’t reall occur to her that romancing girls is like...an option. So poor Moana has always kind of resigned herself to thinking she has no chance with Merida, and keeps her feelings under pretty tight lock since she doesn’t want to ruin their close friendship and all and she doubts Merida even swings that way.

THEN when they’re in their early teens, Merida is like “hmmm...I wonder what it would be like to kiss Moana?” but then IMMEDIATELY feels weird for thinking that and tells absolutely no one. She’s definitely starting to feel something a little different than just platonic friendship though, and of course she’s also convinced Moana only sees her as a friend and probably doesn’t like girls.

Then one day they’re wrestling around out in the woods, like they have since they were little, and at one point Merida leans down and just impulsively kisses Moana. She’s super flustered and apologetic afterwards, but Moana just stares in shock before being like “holy shit, I never thought you’d actually want me too. Holy shit!!!!” After that, they start secret-dating and everyone around just thinks they’re still “very good friends” XD

When Merida turns 16 and gets the news of her betrothal, she’s devastated. It takes her several days to process her emotions, and several times she tries to protest to her mother, but Elinor steamrolls her and talks over her at every turn. Finally, when Merida can get a word in edgewise, she tearfully bursts out that she can’t go through with this because she loves Moana. Elinor, traditionally-minded woman that she is, is horrified by this.

When Fergus finds out, he GOES OFF at Elinor and sticks up for Merida. He basically says that she’s their daughter and they should want her to be happy, and they should be happy for her that she did find someone she loves, even if it’s a bit...unconventional.

Later, at the betrothal ceremony, Merida picks an archery contest for the suitors with the hopes of cheating the system and winning her own hand. Imagine her surprise when Moana rushes in late with a makeshift bow on her hip, shouting “I am Moana of Motunui, and I’ll be shooting for the princess’s hand as well!”

Luckily, due to Moana’s years and years of informal archery training from Merida herself, the other suitors really don’t stand a chance.

It turns out that Elinor and Fergus set this whole thing up, deciding in the end that their daughter should at least be able to marry who she loves if she had to get looped into a political marriage. And honestly, they weren’t going to say no to a stronger alliance with Motunui at the end of the day. Merida is so pleasantly shocked by the whole thing that she forgets to be mad about the fact that she’s still being pressured into a marriage pretty young XD Luckily, Moana has no intention of trying to hold Merida back or take her freedom away! Their relationship really barely changes after they officially become wives, and they’re still just as in love as they’ve basically always been.

As for the issue of heirs, Elinor and Fergus just make Merida’s brothers the heirs of Dunbroch, and Tui and Sina are fine with Moana and Merida choosing an heir for Motunui who isn’t necessarily their biological child. Neither Moana nor Merida are crazy about the “leaders have to be from the chief/monarch’s bloodline” rule anyways, so they’re more than fine with this!

This is in reference to this post! Still answering these questions for Moanida and Hiccanna, if I haven’t done so already!

@takaraphoenix come get your daily dose of Moanida!

Please enjoy some free Klapollo

Today I accidentally wrote over 1,500 words of a scene for a fic I don’t even plan to write for several months. It is UNFINISHED and NEEDS EDITING, but I thought rather than wasting it, I’d put it here.

Rated T for multiple mentions of sex and a little swearing. Also Klavier is a massive dork.

TW: v v brief mention of blood. Also mention of #metoo, in case that’s a trigger for anyone.

Set after Ace Attorney 6: Spirit of Justice and assumes you know that game’s ending. Klavier and Apollo haven’t seen each other in person for several months at this point.

Klavier produced a truly prodigious quantity of condoms and lube from his suitcase, dropping all the packets onto the bed. Apollo's eyes bugged out in shock. He could swear that he'd seen adult stores with less stock than that. "Holy shit, Klav, are we going to need all that?"

"I don't know," replied the blond. He ran his fingers through his bangs and looked away, with a bashful smile. "I wasn't sure what was available out here and I didn't want to take any chances."

Apollo rubbed the back of his neck, not exactly sure how to respond. "Well," he said, finally. "You're certainly... prepared."

"Ja, I try to be! I, ah, wasn't sure what you'd want to use a barrier for, so rather than having an awkward conversation over Skype, I assumed everything, and we could figure it out when I got here.” He dipped his head, pink-cheeked.

“You're adorable, do you know that?” Apollo hugged his boyfriend around the waist, and stood on tiptoes to kiss his nose.

“Danke. Ah... if it makes any difference, I actually got tested before I came over." Klavier was blushing harder than Apollo had ever seen before, no longer the suave rock god but instead a very embarrassed young man. It brought him down to the realms of mere mortals.

“You did? How did you manage that, being famous and all?”

“Oh! I go to this gay clinic in West Hollywood. It's pretty secure, and a lot of celebrities show up there.” Klavier winked. “Actually, some of them aren't even out.”

“So... we aren't going to see any lurid headlines about Klavier Gavin visiting a sexual health clinic? Pity.”

“Ah ha ha ha!” Klavier threw his head back, chuckling. “Nein, not this time. But you just reminded me of the time I did end up in the news for that...”

“Do tell.”

“Ah... So, it helps if you realise that I was an idiot when I was younger.”

“Well, I know that. Trucy made me watch this Gavinners DVD from 2019. I was literally cringing.”

“Ach, mein Gott.” The suave rock god laughed so hard that he snorted, which made him laugh even harder. “Oh, Scheiße! Ha, ha, no. Worse than that, even.”

Apollo shook his head. “Okay, I'm lost. I can't imagine how it is even possible for you to be more idiotic than that.”

“Herr Forehead! You wound me!” Klavier sounded aggrieved, but he couldn't stop laughing. He snorted again, and his legs gave way. He fell backwards onto the bed with a muffled thump, crushing several of the boxes of condoms. Still giggling, he lay on his back staring at Apollo's bedroom ceiling, trying to get his breath back.

Apollo stood shaking his head for a few moments. What a dork. Then he sighed, sat on the bed next to his boyfriend, and patted his thigh. “Feeling better?”

Klavier lifted his head. “Oh Gott, you have no idea how much I needed that. I've been so nervous about seeing you again, so anxious that I would do something wrong and screw it all up.”

“You don't need to be anxious. It's okay.” Apollo grinned, fiercely. “You know we work together pretty well.” He leaned down to kiss his rock star on the lips, and this turned into several minutes of smooching.

As they cuddled together, he asked, “So what was this terribly hilarious news story featuring the idiot version of Klavier Gavin? You have to tell me now. I've never seen you laugh yourself into hysteria before, it's got to be good.”

“Ach. I was hoping you'd forgotten.” (As if!) “Well. You know my hog?”

“I do wish you wouldn't call it that, but yes...?”

“You know how it's purple and has a massive Gavinners symbol on it, ja? Rather distinctive.”

“Ja...?” Apollo waved a hand, to encourage Klavier to go on. “Continue with your testimony, Prosecutor Gavin.”

“So. Normally, if I was going somewhere private like a clinic, I'd wear some kind of disguise. Idiot me figured I didn't need one because I was all in motorcycle leathers with a helmet covering my face. Not that you're allowed to wear it in the clinic itself, but I had it on up to the door.”

Apollo was already 90% sure how this was going to go, but he said, “Right...?” anyway.

“But I forgot about the hog, sitting there like a verdammt beacon!” Klavier exploded with laughter again. “I left it in the clinic parking lot! So by the time I came out, there were a couple of paparazzi and a reporter waiting for me.”

“Oh my God, Klavier!” Now Apollo was laughing too. “What happened?”

“Well, see, there was a new nurse in the clinic, and she got so flustered when she saw me that she forgot how to take blood. So I had this great Scheißbruise on my arm, which conflicted unpleasantly with my desire for a date with my lovers that evening. By which, I mean my guitars.”

“Dork.” Apollo smacked Klavier's bicep, playfully.

“My arm hurt like heck, and I just knew it was going to interfere with rocking out. Of course, I was pretty angry by this point, though I'd tried not to show it to the poor Fräulein in the clinic. So... when the flashes started going off and the reporter started bugging me, I let them have it.”

“What did you say?”

Klavier held up a finger. “Now, this is from memory, and it has been several years, ja? But if I remember rightly, the reporter asked me if I was there to treat an infection. I think the paper was wanting to run some sort of ‘KlavGav Has The Clap’-type headline.”

“Oooh,” said Apollo, with feeling. Then he snickered. “‘Klavi Gavi Has The Itchy’? No, ‘Klavin Gavin Has The Scratchin'’.”

The blond pouted. “Those were both terrible, and I never want to hear them again.”

Apollo leaned in to kiss the pout off his mouth. “Sorry.”

“No, you're not. Feel sorry for me, Herr Forehead. I was pissed, and my arm hurt, and they were asking rude personal questions.”

“I'm sorry that your arm hurt and that they were asking rude questions. I'm not sorry that you left your exclusive custom motorbike outside the clinic, since that was idiot Klavier's decision.”

“Better. Well, I said something like ‘Why is it any of your verdammt business?’” Klavier inhaled, and waved a finger. “Then she tried to chastise me for being at a clinic at all. She said it was ‘irresponsible’ of me to be seen at that sort of place considering the average age of my fanbase. I said ‘I'm modelling responsible behaviour. Everyone who is sexually active should get tested regularly. I don't think I have an infection, but I'm making sure that my assumption isn't wrong, so I don't hurt anyone else. Is that acceptable, Fräulein?’”

“Burn.”

“You say that, but in fact I was providing her with information. I should have stuck with ‘No comment’. Anyway...”

“There's more?”

“Oh, ja. Then she suggested that I wouldn't need to get tested if I wasn't, ah, promiscuous.”

“WHAT?!” The Chords of Steel screamed.

Klavier recoiled, hands over his ears. “Watch the volume, Herr Forehead. I need my hearing for my glittering careers. Both of them.”

“Sorry, Klav. I'm just really annoyed that she said that. She's the irresponsible one, not you.” Apollo stroked his partner's hair soothingly, and kissed the back of his neck. Klavier grumbled under his breath. “So, no shit, there you were, being hassled by an absolute asshole...”

“And I started yelling that I'd only ever slept with fully consenting adults, and I'd always stopped if my partner felt unhappy or uncertain. And that I'd never abused my position of power as a celebrity. They shouldn't be badgering me because I'd never hurt anyone. I remember I really turned the accent up, ‘Ja, I vill mentor you, but only if you suck mein Koch.’ Which, ah, isn't even how you say 'cock' in German, so don't try it.”

“Noted.” Apollo undid Klavier's braid and started running his hands through the strands to separate them. Klavier purred, and snuggled into him.

“I said that they should go after the people named in #metoo, the men who actually were exchanging mentoring for virginities, be it in whatever creative industry. And all the Hollywood movie makers who weren't casting people of colour in prominent roles, or were casting them, but paying them much less than their white counterparts. I think I ranted about several different injustices all at once, because I was just that angry.” Klavier stroked Apollo's ear and ran his hand down his jaw.

“So what happened next?”

“So, some reporter has me on tape screaming ‘Verpiss dich!’ and ‘Leck mich am Arsch!’ as I stormed away from a sexual health clinic. I was so mad, I almost ran one of die Arschlöcher over. And that's what they wrote the article about, my terrible, terrible habit of swearing in German, and my irresponsible motorcycle riding. None of the actual context showing why I was so angry.”

“Wow. That’s pretty harsh. I take it those are bad words.”

“Those are very bad words. I was telling the reporter to lick my ass.”

Apollo grinned. “Now that is a thing we can totally do with your condoms, if it's something you're into.”

“And you call me a dork.” Klavier giggled, and pulled Apollo down on top of him.

Jonghyun/Everyone; jonghyun gets exactly what he deserves which is neck smooches from everyone; PG-13

happy birthday gay baby

“Brat baby,” Minho says sternly against Jonghyun's mouth.

“Thank you, I am baby,” Jonghyun says cutely.

Jonghoodie au

Tae wakes up grumpily, but only because ve's always grumpy to wake up. Instead of letting ver body do this to ver, ve refuses the gradual opening of ver consciousness and instead wiggles deeper under ver blankies and into the warm body in front of ver. It's  J, ve's pretty sure, because they're shirtless and their arm is under ver head, a comfy beefy bicep pillow.

 Ve doesn't remember falling asleep with J last night, but ve's not complaining about waking up next to them either. Ve's never going to complain about their habit of sneaking into bed with ver in the middle of the night. Ve shifts closer instead, tangling their legs together, finding J's other arm and then their hand and holding it close under ver chin like a plushie. 

 Almost as if in response, J shifts closer to ver, the arm under ver head wraps around ver neck, hugging ver close, and the hand under ver chin uncurls its fingers. J taps their fingers over ver jawline, ver cheeks, ver mouth, gentle little boops that make ver smile. They tap the tip of ver nose gently with one finger. They slide that finger down and, just as gently, insert it into ver left nostril. then, they delicately pick up a booger,  move their hand down an inch, and push their finger between ver lips.

Tae laughs, which allows J easy access through ver open mouth, and they wipe the booger off on ver tongue, which only makes ver laugh harder. 

“Was that--” Ve pauses to rearrange the booger in ver mouth and swallow it. “Was that supposed to gross me out?” ve asks. If it was, J missed the mark completely. Ve does that all the time on ver own. J chuckles, moving their hand around ver face to ruffle through ver hair.

“No, just make you laugh,” they say. Their voice is rough, barely more than a whisper; that must have been literally the very first thing they did after they woke up. Tae loves them a lot.

“You're like, my best friend ever,” ve says. Ve knows ve's not supposed to have a favorite qpp, but. J knows that they're everyone's honorary favorite. Very well, if their pleased little hum is any indicator. Tae nestles closer to rub ver face against their chest, warm and soft, and then wiggles up the bed. Ve leaves the sanctuary of ver blankets, braving the cold air so ve can rub ver face further up J's body, their collar bones, into their neck. There ve places a sloppy, sleepy kiss, more of a mush of lips against their throat, trailing them around the side of their neck and under their ear.

 J giggles happily, strong arms holding ver close. Tae blows a raspberry against their skin for good measure, then gives them one last little kiss before rolling onto ver back and pushing ver palms into ver eyes. 

“G’morning,” J says, a sleepy little mumble of a word. Tae nods back as ve yawns into ver forearm. For once, ve's not so grumpy to wake up.

Key wails dramatically when she rounds the corner into the hallway and sees that the bathroom door is closed with the light on behind it. She doesn't deserve this. Walking up to it, she hears music played too loud from a shity phone speaker and Junghee singing along to it and perks up a little. That's not so bad. She can still be saved.

Slapping her hand gently but loudly enough to be heard on the door, she whines through the wood.

“Let me in,” she calls. “It's time to pee.” it's 1:17 p.m. exactly. They all know that that's her pee time. Her body is on a schedule.  Thankfully, the door opens quickly, Junghee's cute smile and pink hair filling in the gap before she pulls it all the way open.

 “Morning Boonie,” she smiles, and then, “Scuzie,” she says, twisting to slip past Key and out of the bathroom. “Don't pee forever, I'm kind of in the middle of something,” she adds, pointing to her hair, which Key realizes is half damp and straight, half dry and purposefully curled to look extra fluffy. She glances passed Junghee to note the hair curler on the counter and shakes her head, smiling fondly.

“I won't,” she says, closing the door behind her.

 And she doesn't; she pees quickly, foot tapping to the song coming from Junghee's phone that she left in here, and then washes her hands and opens the door back up. Junghee is leaning against the opposite wall, just chilling, and Key gets to look her up and down once before she perks up and slips into the bathroom with her. Mismatched socks, Minho's boxers just barely peeking out from one of Tae’s giant hoodies, the scent of Jinki’s body wash clinging to her skin. Key guesses she got out of bed feeling especially snuggly today.

“Did you have a nice pee?” she asks, lifting one eyebrow. Key grins back.

“I sure did,” she says. She reaches up and fluffs the hair at the back of Junghee's head gently. “Want me to do the back for you?” she asks. Junghee always gets pouty that she can't do the back of her hair as good as the rest of it. Junghee smiles wide when Key asks, though, nodding quickly with sparkles in her eyes.

 “Please do,” she says. So Key does, gently turning her around to face the mirror and grabbing the curler from on top of the counter. She doesn't curl Junghee's hair, exactly; she just makes it a little wavy, a little bouncy, a little fluffy, like a nice soft pink cloud. Just the way that Junghee likes when she's feeling extra cute.

When she's done with the back, Junghee presses a smoochy to her cheek and takes the curler to finish the rest herself. Key takes a  moment to just appreciate her, her cute hair, her cute face, her cute everything. Her cute neck, the little baby undercut hairs on it that peek out above the hoodie.

Suddenly Key feels the uncontrollable urge to kiss, so she does, gently taking Junghee's wrist with the curler to hold it away for a second with one hand and pushing her head gently to the side with her other hand. She places the smallest, loveliest smooch on the side of her neck, then watches in the mirror as Junghee's  face turns almost as pink as her hair. She smirks, proud of herself, when Junghee puts the curler down to put her face into her hands next.

“Fuck,” she whispers. “Kibummie,” she says next, peeking up with her big gorgeous pouty eyes. 

“Hmm?” Key hums, extremely gay and in love with the nickname and also a tiny bit suspicious. She knows that Junghee is going to ask her for a favor and honestly, the real question is whether or not Key is enamored enough right now to let whatever it is slide. 

“Can I borrow your cute unicorn earrings?” Junghee asks hopefully.

Absolutely fucking not, Key thinks immediately.

“No bub,” she says gently out loud. And before Junghee can pout more, she gives her another little neck kissy. “But when we go to the mall this weekend I'll buy you whatever earrings you want,” she offers. She takes Junghee's loud hissed “Fuck yeah” as a yes.

It's close to lunchtime, and it's Jinki’s turn to make lunch today, and they were planning on making everyone cute little grilled cheese sandwiches, so they are very confused when they smell cooking beef and bacon as they walk down the hallway to the kitchen. And  they’re even more confused when they peep in and see Jonghyun at the stove, cast iron on and lots of different little foods all chopped up and set aside on the counter.

Slipping inside, they tickle their fingers over Jonghyun's waist to announce their presence before wrapping their arms all the way  around her and hooking their chin over his shoulder.

 “I thought it was my turn to make lunch?” they ask, watching as Jonghyun finishes pulling out the final pieces of bacon and dropping them onto a paper towel, dabbing at them with a napkin to absorb all of the extra grease. Jonghyun glances at them over her shoulder with a little frown, and then a little smile, shrugging with his other shoulder so she doesn't push Jinki off.

“One of us messed up then,” she says. “You can just help me,” he adds cutely. Jinki smiles against his neck.

“You mean, like this?” they ask, and cling tighter around her waist. They also kiss Jonghyun's neck, light, soft, distracting. Jonghyun whines, shivering, but he also doesn't push Jinki off. Jinki takes that as permission and keeps doing what they’re doing, pressing soft, breathy kisses all over the side of her neck as Jonghyun pulls them around the little kitchen. 

This was kind of an impulsive move, they'll admit, but they can't deny that it's fun watching Jonghyun’s hands shake as she tries to clean out the skillet and then layer up nachos inside of it. When Jinki bites down on his neck and sucks gently, Jonghyun full on whimpers and accidentally dumps all of the peppers into one area. It takes her over a minute to actually spread them all the way around evenly because Jinki doesn't stop.

Eventually, Jonghyun sets up three layers of chips and cheese and toppings. Jinki lets him go for just long enough to bend down, open the oven, put them in, and close it. Then, as Jonghyun reaches for their little strawberry timer, Jinki turns her around and  pushes her up against the counter, pressing their bodies together so they can feel Jonghyun tremble.

“How long do those have to be in for?” they ask, lips just under Jonghyun’s ear.

“Like, 15 minutes, ish,” Jonghyun says, voice shaky. He twists the timer on between their stomachs and then carelessly dumps it onto the counter behind them. Jinki hums quietly, shifting to focus on the other side of Jonghyun’s neck and give that some love as well.

“Sounds like just enough time for some hickeys,” they smile, and latch onto Jonghyun's neck again. All Jonghyun does in reply is squeak a little and tangle her fingers into Jinki’s hair.

~

This definitely is a time that Minho is having right now. He pants quietly from the effort of it, from keeping up with five puppies all clamoring for attention at once. Key's 2 little poodles, always so well-behaved at home and eager to let off energy as soon as they hit the dog park; Tae's two little fucking gremlins, tripping over each other and nibbling all over his hands; and not Roo, snoozing gently under a park bench, but her dad, Jonghyun, his hands all over Minho's back as Minho struggles to get the other four under control. 

He's “helping,” he says, but the way his smile curves up only at one corner and his sharp teeth show between his lips betray his lack of benevolence. He's being a nuisance. On purpose. His hands pap and rub all over Minho’s shoulders, offering moral support, offering comfort, distracting him as he kneels in the grass and tries to snatch the tennis ball out from between four eager mouths.

Luckily, he gets it after another moment of struggling, and he chucks it as far as he can away. Before all of the puppies have even gone off chasing it, Jonghyun is pulling him back to his feet and nestling into his shoulder. He's acting all little, all cute, playful smile on his lips, foot popped up cutely as he takes Minho's face in his hands and steals a kiss. Minho can't find it anywhere inside of him at all to be mad at him when he's this cute, and that annoys him, and Jonghyun knows that, and that annoys Minho even more. 

“Brat baby,” he says sternly against Jonghyun's mouth.

“Thank you, I am baby,” Jonghyun says cutely. Minho rolls his eyes, and then all of the dogs come back, the tennis ball firm between Adam’s teeth. He drops back down to his knees, fluffing all of them up, feeling Jonghyun leaning all of his weight on him yet again as he tugs the ball free.

This time, after he throws the ball, instead of letting Jonghyun pull him up, he turns around and gets one arm around Jonghyun's legs, picking them up as he stands and getting his other arm around Jonghyun's waist, effectively scooping him up into his arms in one smooth movement. 

Jonghyun squeaks in surprise, an adorable high-pitched noise as he clings around Minho's neck. His feet kick in the air as he pulls himself closer. Minho takes advantage of their positions by opening his mouth wide and then closing it down on Jonghyun's neck,   biting him all over gently, making deep growling noises. Jonghyun giggles, squirming in his arms, his laughter reaching out loud through the dusklit dog park, loud through Minho's ears and in his chest.

It makes him soften immediately. It's such a pretty sound. He stops biting in favor of just kissing, dropping soft little smooches all over his skin. That, of course, makes Jonghyun laugh even more. He does stop squirming though, and just holds on around Minho's neck, hands running through his long hair. Minho readjusts his grip on him to be more secure, nosing into his neck and slowing his kisses down, making them softer, more loving. 

He only stops when the puppies return. He raises his head and looks down, smiling at all of them hopping around his legs. When he looks back to Jonghyun, he's smiling as well, hearts in his eyes, looking dreamy and pink and loved all over. Minho kisses his cheek once before setting him down. Then, Jonghyun takes his turn to kneel down and wrestle the ball away from everyone else.

 ~

Everything is a little fuzzy, a little muffled. Voices come in and out of focus, loud and clear one moment quiet and far away another. Jonghyun is incredibly comfy, warm, nice arms around him, a heartbeat beating steady next to his own. His eyes are closed, the light behind them a cozy orange glow. He breathes slow, deep, relaxed and satiated.

And then he's falling? No-- wait, yes. Wait, no. He's not falling, but he jolts up anyway, sitting up straight, eyes snapping open. He breathes in deep and sharp through his nose, blinking the living room into focus. Dim lamps, stars through the window behind the couch, TV on behind him, Tae under him looking up at him with ver warm brown eyes.

“You okay, J?” ve asks. Ver hands rub soothingly up and down his sides. Jonghyun blinks more, rubbing his palms into his eyes, and then nods. He's a little sheepish. He was just falling asleep, that's all.

“Yeah,” he says. He yawns into his hoodie sleeve and lets his hands fall into his lap for a moment. Then he lifts them to push gently on Tae's shoulders, pushing himself up. “I'm gonna go sleepy,” he mumbles. He's gonna go sleepy somewhere that isn't in his cute babefriend’s lap. He wants a nice comfy warm bed. 

“Okay,” Tae says gently. Ve holds Jonghyun close for just long enough to tilt ver face up and press a little smoochie to his neck. “Nighty night,” ve says.

“Sleep tight,” Minho adds, scooting over from the other side of the couch. He puts his hand on Jonghyun's thigh and leans up to kiss his neck as well. Jonghyun blushes at both of them and hides his face in his hands as he wiggles out of Tae's lap. Both of them gently tug one of his hands away and take turns holding it as he shuffles out of the living room.

In the hallway, he trails the fingers of one hand along the wall so he doesn't bump into anything and let's their little motion activated night lights guide his way towards the bedrooms. Before he gets there, as he approaches the bathroom, Jinki comes out of it, running their fingers through their hair and yawning into their other hand. When they see Jonghyun, they smile sleepily and hold their arms out. Jonghyun takes the tiniest detour to walk into their arms instead, letting them hug him close.

“Sleepy time?” they ask. Jonghyun nods into their shoulder, and then he tilts his head a little to the side because he can tell that they're leaning in to press a warm kiss to his neck. Several of them, one to each tender hickey that they left on him earlier before. “Sweet dreams, Jongie,” they murmur into his skin. Jonghyun smiles and nods and mumbles a few little noises back as Jinki lets him go.

He continues down the hallway, counting doors until he reaches Gwiboon's. He knocks with his sleepy little hand and, when she   calls out that it's okay for him to come in, does. She's in bed, cozy blue light lamp on, doing stuff on her laptop, all washed up and ready to snooze in a little bit.

“Can I sleepy with you Kibummie?” Jonghyun asks hopefully. She smiles and nods immediately, pulling her covers aside and scooting over a little bit to give him room. Jonghyun smiles on his face and in his heart as he walks over and crawls into bed with her. Before he gets all the way settled lying down, she cups his face, pressing a kiss to his cheek, his jaw, his neck.

 “Sleep well, baby girl,” she smiles. Jonghyun smiles his sleepiest back and wiggles down under the covers. It's incredibly comfortable here and he feels like he's going to doze off easily, which he’s very happy about. He had a big day today busy being cute and he deserves his rest.

Because i can't decide on what else to do: headcanons

Some assassination classroom headcanons about Gakushu, Karma, and Nagisa within the seven year gap. Or it all can be taken as just in general stuff because heck, it probably counts for other parts of their lives. Here we go!

For Gakushu:

-got addicted to coffee and now constantly has a mug of the stuff with him. He's got different mugs to keep variety.

-his highest amount of coffee cups per day is 15. But thats just on record its no quota

-rarely ever sleeps unless someone knocks him out or he has a sort of crash

-everyone refers to him as Asano, even himself. One could say he's kind of having issues with a problem of being unable to separate his own identity from his fam, but if you throw this in his face he'll deny it and be extremely conscious about it for a while.

-morning involve him getting out of bed, having a bagel or something and lying to his dad's face about getting enough sleep. Lets all face it: they both lie to eachother about sleep and just kind of keep it that way, neither wanting to bother to fix their issues enough to validly bring up the other's

-gakushu, if ever involved in a scheme where nagisa would usually be put in the dress, openly volunteer to both spare the boy and reason it as upstaging, specifically because either karma or rio said "nobody does it better than nagisa". He does it better because he's actually confident with the look, and nagisa was pretty grateful.

-he still group texts his big 5 pals

-can imitate voices crazily easily

-nagisa is helpful for asano. He helps him figure out his feelings and maybe reveals what emotions he tries to cover up.

-he at some point wonders how he would look with long hair and one summer, against his father's wishes, Gakushu grew it out. And due to his superhuman devil fam genes, it grew out pretty quick and shocked his class

-actually pretty impulsive when it comes down to things. Things got a little ugly when he tried to quit his addiction, and so karma had to be summoned to stop gakushu from, well, drinking pure caffiene he extracted from basically sciencing a bunch of coffee.

-expert at other people, fool when it comes to himself

-has heard stories and hates nagisa's mom. Zero trust

-supports nagisa and karma in things, tho usually subtly

Alright! On to Karma:

-prankster that can't resist doing what he thinks is funny, especially if it involves Asano

-tries to remember to call Asano by his first name as much as humanly possible. Though Gakushu is longer saying wise, its the guy's name.

-texting nagisa at any opportunity

-adores guys, adores guys in dresses, and just. Yeah he's gay keep scrolling

-visits good old E class to pick the lock and hang out in the empty rooms. Keeping desks clean, doodling on the chalkboard, all sorts of that stuff. He doesn't admit it, but he sometimes cries soley because he misses people

-karma is really emotional but does a good job at surpressing this when he needs to and generally acting chill all the time

-would throw hands with any enemy if they return, especially takaoka the friggin bastard

-and yes, be will put his pals in dresses. Anything that looks nice, yes

-catch him off guard and he still gets that full face blush

-throw hands with him he dares you

-if its a fun impulse he will let gakushu do it, and in fact, encourage it

-visits the guy through his lil balcony. Wants to visit nagisa but nagisa is far away and it makes him kinda sad

-apprehensive and embarassed at first, but yes, he shall dawn the dress one time. Gakushu and nagisa have bunches of pictures. The tables have been turned

-finds it fun when people get passionate over things - this is why he likes to fight gakushu in academics and the occasional spar if the guy wants.

-will call u cute in that certain tone he uses for people

-supports nagisa's haircut. Like hell yes!!! Nagisa is being himself!!!!

Now, finallyy, Nagisa:

-really just polishing his already perfect assassin skills

-paints his nails so they look shiny like snake scales, like that metallic green that shines to blue to purple in certain lights. Who said nail paint had to be a girly thing? Especially when it looks so cool

-still working on getting his mom to leave him alone and undo some of the damage she's left him with. Also uses his knowledge on how to cope to help Gakushu get past his sleeping habits and air out the bits of toxicity that remain between him and his father. Remember, if you get more sleep than your jerky father, you're better than him and winning

-will decline crossdress requests until further notice. He wants to be comfy with his own body and until he can get himself away from the thoughts of his past with his crappy mom that still bother him, no skirts.

-goes to therapy because he wants to get better and get past feelings he has trouble with letting go

-the afformentioned boys love his spooky faces and smiles

-will give a cheek smooch to close pals if they ask him. Cheek smooch is platonic in his eyes usually!

-he and kayano are gossip buds and often talk over feelings. She supports him and he does his best to do the same

-he wants to visit karma but... there is so much schoolwork.... hfkjgh

-also! Deathly afraid of growing apart from his friends, esp. Karma

- "asano please for the love of god take the dresses mom keeps sending me i dont want them burn them"

-if takaoka ever became a problem again things would probably escalate to bloodshed this time

-he is still the best assassin and can definitely sneak into wherever his classmates or even where asano starts work to visit them

-will give other pals nails the snake gradient paint job. Karma's will have a firey scale look and asano gets a cool purple to lightish red

-suggested the new hairdo karma has

-rlly honestly just cool and love his friends and supports them

Thats all i can think of for the moment! Hope y'all enjoy these. Ive been writing a fic featuring some of these so i hope you enjoy these until im finished w that💖

Beware long post below. Just some thoughts I had whilst I was re-reading twilight...... 

1) Sarcastic Bella is love. Sarcastic Bella is life. 2)  No one can take away my headcanon black!Emmett with gorgeous tightly curled hair. Plus this means that he can totally teach Jasper about racism and why fighting for the Confederates was WRONG and they can support anti-racism charities together.  3) Jess’s little comment about Esme not being able to have children makes me so sad. 4) Ok, so Carlisle is a freaking surgeon. Like he spends his days elbows deep in people’s abdominal cavities. I have even more respect for him now if that’s possible.  5) Charlie’s lil crush on the Cullens is tots cute.  6) Wasted vampire trope #1 - the base instinctual fear that all human characters have around vampires, even though they can’t understand it.  7) Apparently Alice doesn’t give a shit about appearing human 8) Cute sibling moments-why didn’t we get these in the films? 9) What was the whole ‘electric current’ sensation that passed between Edward and Bella in science class? Is that ever explained? Do vampires conduct electricity now?  10) God damn it Charlie Swan, stop being precious. Also the fact Bella gets so choked up about her dad putting snow chains on her truck makes me so sad. Poor girl. 

11) “No blood, no foul.” Not even trying to subtle are you Edward.  12) “...the doctor was in on it.” Literally almost fell over laughing. Poor darling Carlisle.  13) God, I forget all the angry scowling and even angrier silences.  14) I fucking love Bella’s petty inner monologue about rear-ending Ed’s volvo. Girl after my own heart.  15) Sam Uley-totally forgot he was only 19!  20) So Carlisle has been coming to forks for centuries. Even before the first settlers reached there. Interesting little fact nugget.  21) Angela is GAY! FFS Smeyer.  22) Bella’s equally petty inner monologue about non-fatally wounding Tyler so he can’t take her to the dance. This girl is a mood.  23) You know Emmett absolutely rinsed Edward about all his mooning and pining during their hunting trip. I’m talking about made up ridiculous cringe-worthy joke poetry about Bella’s eyebrows and some rather grotesque smooching faces.  24) “We all like to drive fast.” I totally headcanon that Esme is a fucking terrifying driver, after all she has shit to do-crazy vamp kids to keep in check, houses to restore, a very pretty husband to bone.  25) So much unsubtle foreshadowing. 26) “Grizzly is Emmett’s favourite.” This is 100% Emmett’s revenge on bear-kind for his almost-demise.  27) Wasted vampire trope #2 - vampires are able to communicate in tones too low and too high for humans to hear. Other animals however are a different matter. It’s not unusual for private conversation to be interrupted by baying dogs and the irritated meows of cats.  28) Why can Bella see blue veins in Edward’s arms? He doesn’t have blood? Did you even proofread this Smeyer? 29) Edward’s fears about facing Esme - I can just imagine Carlisle coming home to find Esme holding Edward there in a headlock, before looking up and saying your father’s here now, lets talk. Also poor Carlisle having to face Esme that evening and tell her Ed’s gone.  30) Wasted vampire trope #3 - the what Edward talks about his human feelings being hidden deep beneath his stronger vampire ones. I don’t feel we get to see much of this except for a few episodes of over-protectiveness and growling. This could have been much more interesting.  31) I would pay good money to hear more about Carlisle and Esme’s increasingly ridiculous and disastrous plots to try and get Edward and Rosalie together.  I mean we think of them as the wise, mature adults but we all know that the Cullen children get some of their crazy from their parents.  32) I want an AU where Alice didn’t get her visions of Jasper and the Cullens and went absolutely feral, when the Cullens do run into her it’s as an enemy who they eventually persuade to their way of life.....or not.  33) Jasper’s gift is absolutely terrifying....I mean being able to manipulate people’s emotions, get them to feel what you want and by extension behave as you want. Ed even says he can use it on a crowd. That’s like supervillain level.  34) “You are mythical after all.” Ok so now I want an extended world of fantasy/horror/mythical beings. I’m talking mermaids/sirens, fay folk, ghosts etc. Make Forks like Gravity Falls or something. Please.  35) Edward whiny bitch Cullen repeatedly asking Bella if she’s going to tell her Dad that he’s her boyfriend. And if you think he stops doing this once their married, you’re wrong.  36) Edward’s forehead kisses are tots something he learned from watching Esme and Carlisle. I will die for this headcanon.  37) Edward tasting Bella’s tears. WTF!? WHY? WHAT AM I READING SMEYER!? 38) Carlisle found a real vampire nest at 23 years of age. He is canonically too clever for his own good. FFS sweety.  39) I forgot how much I enjoyed the part with Carlisle’s backstory. Also my poor bby boy suffered through his transformation without making a single noise. Even human!Carlisle had the self control of a saint.  40) Wasted vampire trope #4 - I know this has been mentioned before but the whole, vampires don’t need to breathe and get no relief from it but do it as habit. What other human habits and sensations do they have which have been altered by their transformation. 41) Aro and Carlisle playing tricks to try and get each other to drink from the other’s food source. It didn’t work cause of vamp smell obviously. I know I write this as if it’s playful, but we all knows Aro was a total bitch about it.  42) Edwin. Charlie Swan you are precious. Never change.  43) WHY DIDN’T WE GET TO SEE ALICE AND EMMETT HOLD HANDS IN THE FILMS! 44) “Occassionally Esme would call them to order.” I would pay good money to see this. Also does ‘ that include them’ include Carlisle? 45) Edward muttering a string of swear words both old and new, in multiple languages under his breath is a mood I recognise.  46) “Esme and Carlisle, they’ll have to leave, to hide forever!”.....”We’ve been there before.” I want this and every story of all the stupid reasons why the Cullens have had to flee the state/country in the past. Carlisle sometimes wonders whether all the trouble is worth it. This never happened when he was on his own. 47) I am unsurprisingly very much in favour of growling, snarling Alice Cullen.  48) Why does Bella have a secret cash hoard?  Is that normal? Is it in case Renee’s dealers turn up demanding money? (Can you tell I’m not a Renee fan.) 49) Of course Esme installed fucking bombproof shutters on their house. My girl is so freaking extra.  50) How many speeding tickets have the Cullens collected over the years?  51) “He seems to stay just far enough away that I can’t hear what he’s thinking..” Was this just coincidence or did James somehow know about Ed’s power? 52) Alice sketches her visions sometimes - it’s something Esme taught her because sometimes her visions are so weird or disturbing or exhausting that Alice can’t voice them herself. So Esme came up with this way to try and help her get it out.  53) Wasted vampire trope #5 - vampires can speak so fast that humans can’t understand them. Just imagine Bella wandering in on a family discussion at the Cullen house and all she can hear is a high pitched squeaking because everyone is talking super fast.  54) Alice’s backstory makes me so sad 55) “Alice had a bit too much fun fabricating the evidence.” Ok, so two things: one, I absolutely wish we could have seen Alice destroying shit and two, I still don’t understand how they managed to convince anyone Bella fell down a flight of stairs, like did they have to push her down the stairs to ensure it looked realistic, did Ed spend ages artistically placing her in a suitable position. How did this work? 56) Also love that everyone just accepted that Bella would fall down stairs and through a window, she’s just that much of a clutz.  57) Also they stole a car and burned down a dance studio. The Cullens should have started a crime family, they wouldn’t have been good at it but it would have been hilarious.  58) Bella should have grown up with Charlie. End of. Renee sucks.  59) Charlie is absolutely crushing on Carlisle and I love it.

so mothzawa right

there’s this fae being who likes fucking with humans. typical fae thing. 

why the fuck is this one pretending to be human though? here’s why: 

he’s very gay 

in this au he was probably fucking around with some middle schoolers and there’s this bright ass blond kid screaming and running around and crying because the Moth Man isn’t REAL guys he’s just!! a myth!!!! and why would it be in Japan anyways??!?!??!!???? 

so of course Shouta (not going by Shouta at this time, of course) decides this is him. this is the human i’m going to bother. he’s scared of bugs. he doesn’t think i exist. i am going to FUCK WITH this small human child. 

so the FIRST THING that occurs to this like thousand(s) year old fae is 

i’m just gonna turn my ass human to go fuck with him

and? surprise! Aizawa Shouta is created and meets this random kid in an alleyway and says “Mothman is real what are you fucking talking about” 

Aizawa spends like a year just randomly meeting Hizashi outside of school and going on forced cryptid hunts where he’s also secretly in the background scaring the shit out of him and fucking with him. But then apparently Hizashi isn’t. Uh. Scared of his human form. Even when he cancels his quirk to fuck with him? Huh. Um. And apparently this human is like. Really friendly and thinks Aizawa is his Friend now. How do humans friend again???? Fuck.

And now Hizashi’s going into high school and he’s never questioned Aizawa on what middle school he goes to but he’s SUPER excited to be applying to UA and what about you Aizawa??!??!! And Aizawa realizes

fuck

he’s gotta get into UA now 

because this scrawny ass human child thinks it’d be cool if they went to high school together 

and so he does! Because fae are masters of blending in and deceit and fucking around with some human legal records is hardly difficult. Nedzu probs thinks something’s off but doesn’t think Moth Fae bcz nobody would. 

so then Aizawa’s hanging with this dumbass human for so many years throughout high school and they graduate and they’re doing hero shit and Hizashi’s been acting weird around him since their second year but humans are weird and Hizashi is weirder so Aizawa doesn’t really care until

one day 

He goes to their shared apartment and sees Hizahsi? Acting? In a mirror? Asking him out??? And Hizashi sees him and freezes and then confesses he’s had a crush on Aizawa since their second year when he started acting weird and 

oh

boi

Aizawa kinda just turns around and does an about face and disappears for a week solid because he’s. gotta process this. a human falling in love with a fae is hardly weird but. this human. doesn’t even know what he is??? and the true problem is. 

Aizawa might also love this idiot back? When did this development happen?????? He has no idea but he’s fae so he’s not in the habit of denying himself things he likes 

So once he has his alone time to sulk in the shadows of the city and glare at bright lights he goes back home and their apartment is kinda trashed and hizashi’s pretty much dead because he thinks aizawa hates him. but. Aizawa smooches his dumb face. because he likes this dumbass human and this human likes him back and this human doesn’t know that he’s NOT human, but that can be fixed later, for now Aizawa’s just gonna focus on the fact that this dumbass human is HIS dumbass human and they’ve got some things to do

Characteristic pulls gay-themed wedding event adds after requirement coming from conventional group|CBC News

Struggling from a conservative advocacy group, The Hallmark Stations has taken adds for a wedding-planning site that featured 2 brides smooching at the altar.

The system, which expenses itself as family-friendly and is actually in the middle of its greatly viewed vacation computer programming, got rid of the ads because the controversy was actually an interruption, a speaker stated in a meeting Sunday.

"The discussion bordering these commercials on all sides was distracting coming from the purpose of our system, which is actually to supply enjoyment value," said a statement offered by Molly Biwer, elderly bad habit president for public gatherings and communications at Hallmark.

In a job interview, she incorporated: "The Hallmark company is never mosting likely to be actually disruptive. Our team don't would like to generate debate, we have actually tried really hard to remain out of it ... our experts only felt it remained in the most effective interest of the brand name to take them and also not remain to generate controversy."

There was prompt criticism on Twitter.

Ellen DeGeneres talked to Characteristic: "Isn't it almost 2020? What are you thinking? Feel free to explain. We're all ears."

The LGBT advocacy group GLAAD called the choice to clear away the Zola ads "prejudiced and specifically sanctimonious arising from a network that asserts to found family members programs as well as well as additionally just recently said they are actually 'available' to LGBTQ holiday flicks." The group stated it would be actually talking to other Hallmark advertisers where they base on the concern, and if they now are going to pull their advertising.

Biwer validated that a conservative team, One Thousand Moms, component of the American Family Organization, had whined regarding the adds to Bill Abbott, CEO of Crown Media Household Networks, Hallmark's parent business.

A blog post on the team's web site mentioned that Abbott "mentioned the advertising campaign opened in mistake."

The team additionally wrote: "Decision to our workplace offered our company the possibility to validate the Trademark Network will definitely continue to be a safe and family-friendly system."

Zola had submitted 6 ads, and four had a lesbian couple. After Characteristic drew those ads, but not two including only opposite-sex pairs, Zola pulled its continuing to be adds, the firm claimed.

"The only distinction in between the commercials that were actually flagged and also the ones that were actually approved was actually that the commercials that carried out certainly not fulfill Hallmark's criteria consisted of a lesbian married couple kissing," said Mike Chi, Zola's main advertising and marketing policeman, in a declaration sent to the AP. "Hallmark permitted an office where a heterosexual pair kissed.

"All kisses, married couples and also marital relationships are equivalent parties of affection and also our company will absolutely no much longer be actually promoting on Characteristic," Chi stated.

In some of the taken ads, pair of bride-to-bes stand at the altar as well as think about aloud whether their wedding would certainly be actually going much more efficiently if they had made use of a wedding celebration preparing website like Zola. The light-hearted advertisement ends with the pair of brides sharing a simple kiss on the altar.

Family is all comprehensive."

Do you read fanfic? Do you have any recommendations?

My fanfic habit straddles the line between “excessive” and “obsessive,” and at this point I’d wager that I spend more time reading fanfic than engaging the source material. My tastes tend to favor long fics and those with f/f content, but that’s not a strict requirement. Favorites by tag/fandom below the cut, in rough order of how much other content in that category I can recommend:

Dragon Age: “Modern Girl in Thedas”

As you might guess from the name, this tag is all about women from our reality finding themselves somehow in the Dragon Age setting. As a rule of thumb, you can 1) expect Inquisition spoilers really early on in most of them, and 2) expect that it’ll be OC/Solas or OC/Cullen, since people are weirdly obsessed with smooching those two. Some favorites include:

Diary of a Dislocated Knife-ear: A woman wakes up in Thedas during Inquisition, does her best to go unnoticed, and ends up starting an aggressive civil rights campaign. 

Virtually Faded: A pair of close friends find themselves wrapped up in the center of Inquisition’s events as the Herald and Inquisitor. 

Best Laid Plans of Mice and Morons: A woman wakes up in Ostagar, finds out she’s a blood mage, and tries to use her metaknowledge to avoid the worst of the events of Origins. 

Dragon Age x ??? Crossovers

Crossovers tend to be very hit-or-miss with me. Most of my favorites in this category operate on a similar premise to the MGiT ones above, where a character from some other setting is transported to Thedas and has to adapt. Favorites include: 

The Half-Life of Element Zero: A member of the Andromeda Initiative (Mass Effect: Andromeda) wakes up in Haven with the Mark on her hand. One of my absolute favorites for how it blends Bioware’s signature settings. 

Dragon Heart: A redeemed Revan (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) returns to Thedas to right her past wrongs. 

Smith From Another Land:The orc Dragonborn (Skyrim) comes to Thedas, and must work with the Inquisition if she wants to have any chance of returning home.

Knights of the Old Republic (and KotOR II)

There’s a ton of great, gay one-chapter fics (particularly f!Revan/Bastilla and f!Exile/Atris) in Ao3, so if you have any interest, I highly recommend searching for them! Aside from those, my favorites are:

Breaking the Silence: The Exile crosses paths with an unaware Revan, and brings up their mutual history. 

Echoes: A KotOR novelization with just enough changes to make it a new, but still familiar, experience. 

As Atton Will Ever Be: A “Modern Girl in KotOR” fic that follows the events of KotOR II, as the poor woman tries to avert as much disaster as possible. 

Overwatch

There’s a ton of great sapphic content here. Most of my favorites tend to be ???/Widowmaker, and I have a special soft spot for the Widow/Tracer/Emily polycule. My top recommendations include: 

Looking into the Abyss: A realistic look at what Talon!Mercy might look like, with Widow/Mercy/Tracer as the main relationship. 

In My Blood: A reversal of Tracer and Widowmaker’s positions, with Widow as an Overwatch agent and Tracer as a brainwashed Talon assassin. 

the right kind (of bad love): An OC/Moira fic that’s just about the two of them being absolute disaster lesbians. 

World of Warcraft

I started with a cute Jaina/Sylvanas fanfic I saw in my tumblr feed, and am now reinstalling the game after years of avoiding it. I have no shame. Favorites include:

Two Rooms: A Jaina/Sylvanas political marriage to encourage peace between Alliance and Horde, set sometime around the beginning of Battle for Azeroth.

Increments of Longing: Also Jaina/Sylvanas political marriage, but this time ignoring all that crap where Arthas ruined their lives and instead imagining an AU where Kul Tiras and Quel’Thalas want closer ties.

Falling series: A Jaina/Sylvanas fic that, aside from the two’s relationship, fairly closely follows cannon. The first 5 chapters are sweet and endearing, and the last 2 chapters will rip your heart out and stomp on it for good measure. I cried.

Neverwinter Nights (And NWN2)

A bit more niche than the others, but I love these games to death so I can’t rightfully omit them. 

Windwalker series: A “Modern Girl in Faerun” series that span both the Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark campaigns for NWN1. 

All It Takes: A novelization of the Mask of the Betrayer campaign for NWN2, one of my favorite all-time RPG storylines.
