#had so much fun watching them unfold ( abt )

[letsgetrowdy43]

A long time coming—

Request: Luke has been in love with jacks best friend since childhood, but the reader never lets anything happen out of respect for Jack but eventually the two have a moment and she can’t hide her feelings for Luke anymore, and I think Jack would be supportive of his two favourite people

I changed the prompt a bit cause I read it wrong, so sorry abt that!!

“Luke we can’t,” she said in between kisses, her hands that had once been tangled in his curls now lightly pushed him away from her, “we can’t do this to him,” she mumbled as Luke shook his head in denial. “He doesn’t care, he’s understanding, and he’ll get over it,” his lips travelled down her neck as she groaned into his shoulder, his fingers digging into the soft skin of her torso as she let out shallow breaths.

The little voice in the back of her head kept repeating the same words to her, whispers about Jack being disappointed in her decisions made her tense and finally take a step away from the Hughes boy whose hands sat comfortably on her hips.

“I can’t,” she whispered. "Wait Y/n/n," he said as her hand went for the doorknob, "let's just talk about it," she shook her head and looked at him once more as the tears started and she left the quiet of the locked bathroom and ventured back into the party to find her friends to take her home.

That had been four months ago at a St Patrick’s Day party, it was now the end of June and Y/n and Luke had yet to talk about what happened.

Luke left for Jersey, and Y/n stayed in Ann Arbor to finish out her third year at Umich, so life got busy. They made it through playoff runs, final exams, injuries, and so many other bumps in the road, and finally, it was the Hughes brothers and company’s favourite time of the year.

Summer at the lake house.

Summers with the Hughes’ were always like an escape from reality, days on the lake, sun tans, sand, and beer, it was always so chalked full of life. Four months of being with the best people, at the greatest time of the year.

But she was dreading this particular summer.

“You seem down Missy,” Ellen hugged the girl as Y/n placed the last bag of groceries on the kitchen counter. The girl shrugged, “just tired, that’s all” the girl said as Ellen rubbed her back and nodded. “Well I’m sure the boys wouldn’t mind if you napped for a bit,” she ushered out to Jack, Luke, Trevor, and Alex who were playing ping pong in the backyard.

Y/n nodded with a sad smile and headed up to her room, flopping down on the soft mattress as she let the weight lift off of her shoulders for a second.

A light knock on the door woke her up from her nap, she groggily sat up and looked at Luke who was smiling at her, leaning up against her door frame, “Did you know you snore?” She stared at him with not a trace of amusement, “No I don’t.” “No you don’t,” he confessed as the girl stretched her tired limbs, “Mom told me to tell you that dinner is ready whenever you are,” he said with a nod and then headed back downstairs to get a plate without another word.

She got down to the bottom of the stairs to be whisked off into a conversation with Z, loud laughter erupting from Jim as Trevor poked fun at Luke for something. The girl sat in between Quinn and Josh who both picked at her for her bedhead, too which gained each of them a smack followed by no more pestering as she ate her burger and salad in peace.

Her eyes travelled over to Luke who was already staring at her, then to Jack who was watching the tension unfold. His brow quirked at her gaze immediately stared down at her plate.

To Y/n the idea of loving Luke, romantically, was something she never seemed to be able to shake. Nothing had ever erupted between the two of them except for that one kiss months ago in a random bathroom that smelled like beer and sex. Thinking back now, everything about that moment felt perfect to her. She would give up pretty much anything to go back to that night and live out her fantasy of finally giving in to the overwhelming urge, maybe even the need, to love Luke.

She’d give up anything, anything but Jack.

She stood in the kitchen, hands buried in the warm soapy water, as she scrubbed the dinner plates that the boys had so graciously dropped off at the sink for her to clean.

Jack walked in with a grin on his face, "You need to stop moping, you're making me depressed Missy," he grinned as she looked at him unamused by the nickname, even more, displeased by the poking he did to her side as he taunted her mood.

"Y'know a little birdy told me something about a kiss, and I think that's why you might be a little tense," she looked at Jack wide-eyed, her lips parted. "I'm so sorry Jack, it was once, and it was a mistake that never should've happened," she began to ramble as the boy smugly grinned at her. He placed his hand over her mouth to shut her up, "a mistake that you wanna do again?" he grinned as her cheeks heated up.

"I never wanted to upset you or break your trust, it was only once," she continued her rant as Jack laughed dryly at her panic. "I don't care Y/n/n, Lu's been crazy about me since we were kids, and I'd much rather you date him than the other douchebags you normally go after," he smiled as her face dropped. "I do not have bad taste in men," she gawked as he looked at her unconvinced.

Jack grinned one last time, "All I'm saying is that it's a win-win situation for me and you, you get the boy, and I'd get to see you more often in Jersey," he leaned against the counter as she stared at him, unable to tell if he was being serious or playing some sick joke on her. "I get the boy?" "You can have the boy," he nods, "but if he hurts you, you tell me and I'll set him straight," he said leaning forward to pull her into a hug and pressing a kiss to her temple as she smiled into his shirt.

"You're sure it's okay?" she said, her words muffled into his shirt as he nodded. He pulled away with a smile, "I approve," she grinned back as he headed back to the rec room where the rest of the boys were playing pool.

Luke walked in shortly after, quietly with a soft smile on his face as he picked up the dry cloth to help take a little bit of the workload off of her.

"You okay Y/n?" he asked as she looked at him with an unsure look, her hands still in the sink trying to finish the still never-ending pile of dishes. "You told your brother?" she whispered and looked at him her attention falling on a strand of hair that had fallen out from its place behind her ear and into her eye. Luke reached forward to brush the hair out of her face as he smiled sweetly, "I did," he said almost sweetly as he held her face in his hands.

"What did he say to you sweets?" he asked with a grin as she looked at him with something resembling love. She blushed at the nickname as chills ran up her spine due to the soothing feeling of his thumb running over her cheek, "well he said that he was okay with this," she motioned between the two of them as he grinned even wider. "I told you he would be understanding," he lowered himself down to capture her lips in a slow kiss, the hands that were previously in the soapy water were now gripping at the cotton material of his sweater as he pulled her closer.

She was the first to pull away, as a smile took over her face while recalling another thing that Jack had said during their conversation, "Jack said another thing that caught me off guard." A short hum left the boy's mouth as he chased her lips, pecking her once before noticing the pleased grin on her face, "what did he say?"

The boy's brows furrowed as she let out a short laugh, "he might've dropped that you've been 'crazy about me since we were little'" she quoted as Luke's face broke out into a bright shade of pink. "I might've been," he mused as she grinned and stood on her tiptoes while her arms looped around his neck. "Good, 'cause I might been a little crazy about you too," she whispered before smashing her lips back onto his, the dishes long forgotten as they stood in the lake house kitchen surrounded by love.

Both of them realizing that this romance had been a long time coming

[dias-writing-corner]

I keep thinking abt yandere ticci Toby that started off as childhood friends.

You meet him through his sister as the 2 of you were good friends long before you meet her brother. And sure you’ve heard Lyra mention how her brother is being bullied and about his  Tourette’s through the school grapevine but you’ve never actually met the kid or even really seen him outside of pics or from afar.

Anyways when you meet him he’s this shy and awkward kid who’s a year or so under you and Lyra. But you don’t judge him for his Tourette’s or anything, you’ve always been a kind person like that. As you hang out with the two of them he starts getting this silly little puppy crush on you and Lyra teases both of you - separately - about it. But you blow her off as you just see him as a little brother.

Soon Lyra gets into her accident and dies. Leaving a hole in both yours and Toby’s lives and hearts. You spend more time with each other trying to remember her, you bring him homework he missed from staying home after her death and start to notice he’s more erratic with his behavior. Prone to outbursts or even aggressive behavior towards you. You can’t stand his self harm - even if he doesn’t feel what he’s doing to his hands - and he snaps at you when you press the issue too much. After you leave each time he lashes out at you Toby feels bad and beats himself up, after all he’s lost his sister, he doesn’t want to lose you as well.

But he eventually becomes so overcome with grief and anger he goes through with the murder of his step dad and burning the house down. And Slenderman wipes his memory of everything before his moment of retribution.

You notice the flames on your way to give him the latest bit of homework. Pressing harder on the gas until you stop your car in front of the building house, leaving the car you run up to the caution tape set up by police and the fire department. Falling to your knees in grief as you sob and scream his name, one arm covering your face as the other holds onto your opposite shoulder in a desperate attempt to comfort yourself.

~~~

Years have passed yet you still hold onto the 2 Polaroids of your dearly departed friends. One was yours originally, the second was Lyra’s and the third that was Toby’s was assumed to have burned in the fire. The Polaroids were of a day you all went out and got ice cream and had fun like kids, one of the last times that happened before Lyra’s death.

Anyways you’d be well into college, perhaps junior or senior year? Focusing on studies has been hard for the past few months due to feeling like you’re being watched constantly. And quite honestly it’s starting to affect your grades. So you go out to the woods, to a part where the hiking path leads to a small clearing with one or two picnic tables. Settling down at one with your books and notes you try to let the sounds of the woods envelope you in peace and quiet to focus. Only for it to get a little too quiet and set off that feeling of being watched once more.

After a while you realize you’re not going to get much of anything done like this. You try to leave but as you get to the start of the path that leads home you find yourself stuck to a tree. Back digging into the harsh bark of the tree, a strange man with orange tinted goggles over the eyes and a strange mask covering the lower part of the face. You can hear the man breathe heavy, only one arm of his presses into you and holds you still.

Something in you tells you to keep quiet, an almost primal urge to make yourself as small as possible. You try to shrink into the tree behind you. Noticing the 2 deadly weapons fastened onto his hips, a small whimper escapes you as tears form in your eyes. He reaches down into his pocket and brings out a folded piece of film, unfolding it and showing you it. It’s crumpled around the edges and worn but you can still make out the smiling faces of a young Lyra Toby and you.

“H-how do you have that? It should’ve burned…” you ask in astonishment as tears threaten to fall from your eyes at the memories of your deceased friends.

The man’s neck twitches so hard you worry it’d snap, he doesn’t say anything and just points at young you in the picture. You nod your head and say “ye-yes that’s me..” assuming that’s what the man was asking. Using his free hand he tugs the goggles off his face and lets them rest in the messy brown hair atop his head.

Eyes crinkled in a sort of joy or maybe excitement as he finally speaks up. “F-f-found yo-ou”

Opinions on jacksfilms v sssniperwolf?

Penny for ur thoughts plz 🪙 (<- pretend that is a penny shhhhh)

this ask is an equivalent to asking for my hand in marriage just btw.

so in case anyone doesnt know anything abt this old ass drama (i dont know as much as i could either, this is a retelling from the bits and pieces i remember):

so basically sssniperwolf used to be this gaming youtuber but she eventually turned into a half baked "reaction" channel where she just watches tiktoks, makes low effort surface level commentary, and then doesnt credit the creator of said tiktoks. jacksfilms is a comedy youtuber who does a bunch of stuff (sketches, streaming, something called YIAY where he gives ppl prompts / questions to answer n reads em out(with credit!(also hes been doing stuff with ai recently but mostly to show how mid it is which like. eh idk how i feel abt it but its not a dealbreaker))) and he at one point in 2023 called out sniper for her content stealking and lazy content.

he started doing this thing where he reacted to her videos the way she reacts to the videos she steals? i think? and then he gives credit to the creators that sniper reacts to i hope ur following. sniper eventually got mad and was like "uhhhmmm ur stealing from me....." which is rly funny considering she steals from SO many ppl. they had lowkey beef for a while (and obv jack was in the right the entire time) and on uhhhhhh lemme look this up hold on. october 13th of last year sniper posted an instagram story poll like "jacksfilms is close to this place im shooting at should i go see him" i guess to like? talk things out?

(src)

and then some amnt of time later while jack was playing jackbox on stream with his editors and stuff (dubbed the council) sniper showed up at his house, stood outside, and posted a video OF HIS HOME ON HER STORY. ON HER INSTAGRAM WITH OVER 5 MILLION FOLLOWERS. also to add even more context that i found out from youtube comments, sniper has been arrested for armed robbery before, so! some council member alerted jack and erin (jack's wife) was like "erm im gonna go outside" and everyone was like NO DONT OMG. eventually she deleted the story but by that point it was like wayyyy too late. and photos of his house were alr on twitter and stuff. the most ridiculous part is that when jack was rightfully like WHAG GHE HELL she was like this guy is creepy and hes been harassing me! i just wanna talk!!!

jacksfilms made a video being like heyyyyy youtube can u do smthn abt this???? youtube, of course, did nothing in response. i honestly dont know how it ended but snipers still doing her thing and so is jack so ultimately nothing substantial came of it, i guess. i wasnt on stream when it happened but i was GLUED to twitter as it was unfolding since ive been a big jacksfilms fan since i was 12ish. crazy times

WAIT EDIT I FORGOT TO ADD MY OPINION OOPS LOL: FUCK SNIPERWOLF

also fun fact! ive had a couple convos with a council member (marshaldoesstuff u will always be famous) and i was in his discord FOREVER ago. like 2018 forever ago. got groomed in that server it was kinda goofy (NOT marshal's fault - nor the mods of said server, im still friends with a few of those mods and they were always so protective of me and were there to put a stop to everything, i love them dearly.) so yeah im kinda etched into jacksfilms lore in a way that VERY few remember. which is the case for a few different fandoms tbh.

second fun fact: jack and erin r house md fans (erin has a crush on house and jack has a crush on cuddy which is sooo based of them)

thank u for asking and thank u for reading :3 i luv jacksfilms

series masterlist

author's end note

omg im gonna cry y'all the most awesome readers. i actually have not finished any ffs before despite starting a bunch (bbc sherlock holmes, james bond, and marvel glaring at me). all of you became the very reason this ff has seen the sunlight. the plot, prologue, and excerpts of this have been sitting in my notes way before season three. i had written it originally with anthony as third party in mind and had to rewrite the prologue since we have kate now. idk what to say else i just love you all so much—still mad abt fucking eggs and some callbacks y'all missed tho. drop your favorite lines or quotes or anythingg. let's have an active convo abt everything that happened in the comments coz y'all fucking crazy and i love it!

easter eggs (only the ones i remember):

- callbacks like really a bunch of them i cannot name each but drop those you know on the comments pls coz im gonna jump off if y'all do not recall any coz that's where the story heavily relied i think.

- bruh this is literally somebody that i used to know by gotye titles of all the chapters are from the lyrics go check ittt, and like from the now and then as main title alone and the lines in the epilogue.

- righttt, fourty-six soldiers for the 47 ronin inspo!! that's like the part i loved the most coz it was so apt for the story and i just realized when we're at chapt nine

the writing process:

- brooo i swear this was supposed to be like a cliche romcom ff like the most that was to happen was the angry confession,, but then i laid down on my bed one night we were around chapter two or three and then it just entered my mind like im gonna fucking kill this girl and everything was a huge coincidence like how her father is in the military and such. so i just had fun really figuring the story out on the process too. in a way, i was like an audience myself as i watched it all unfold in my mind. oh and the harry potter one about the fourth book and sht was the real coincidence lol i did not know about that at all.

anyways, that was it and it's a wrap for now and then aaaaaaaa y'all consumed my life for two weeks thank you so much everyone! will always love youuu!

[safekeeperscosm]

tell me EVERYTHING about the SVTFOE cleaved AU, it's so good

OUGHFJFK UMM.. OKAY!!

Cleaved AU is a self-indulgent canon-divergent hypothetical rewrite @saik0m0che and I have been working on (passively 💀) since the end of svtfoe s3. but I've always had this sort of idea/concept from mid s2

other than maybe a few minor changes for s1-2, post battle for mewni is straight up where I take the reigns

first of all. Toffee doesn't die.

but star DOES still "kill him" at the end of BFM, it's just that I refuse to let his soul pass on (for unfinished business!)

the premise here takes from s2's emotionally charged magic of star's wand crystal being cleaved apart, to then cleaving her & toffee's souls together. which means they share all of each other's pain haha! so bcuz they're together, you can't kill or crystallize toff since that would harm star

but how? idk man something abt the two of them being in the realm of dying butterfly magic at the same time. something abt how toffee is no longer flesh, only decaying essence. something abt how star sorta died and came back to life just as she saved the realm. he's like a parasite!

I hc he wasn't gonna live long after BFM if star hadn't killed him off anyway. but still :(

not only does this "murderer" have to live with star at the castle (likely in the dungeon first, they'd want to break the bond of their souls), he's missing 90% of his memories — because star brutally obliterated him & he spent a very long time in the magic realm alone chanting the same spell over and over again

on the bright side, eclipsa later finds company in him, even doe he doesn't remember her (but very much trusts her 🥺)

oh yeah he & eclipsa dated in the past and became good friends after (Globgor was the one who introduced them shsghsj)

second. Glossaryck stays dead.

or rather isn't physically there with the main cast. he can't die, he just decided to let things unfold and watch at a distance

he does come around for Meteora's Lesson

rest in pudding is when star & toffee are officially cleaved! she starts asphyxiating from time to time after the funeral scenes and especially while chasing Glossy's "ghost"/reflections. he leads her to a crystallized toffee and THAT'S when they meet again. it also gives me a fun reason to do a parallel scene (redraw lol) of moon & eclipsa

you just KNOW rhombulus is gonna go through the hardest time here and he is my boy <3

lastly, SEPTARSIS!!!

this needs some episode rearranging, but maybe after Butterfly Trap, star & toffee go on a trip to septarsis with yvgeny to find a way to cleave their souls and potentially get toffee's memories back. star introduces herself as Star Johansen since everyone there hates the Butterflys. she sticks with the name from that point on

toffee does regain his memories (but can't recall them all at once, it's a process that takes time) and star is met with the revelation that he & celena were in love, making him her great great grandfather. it's also revealed how toffee managed to make the magic realm decay, and that celena was the one who helped him

oh yeah. other things;

marco pretends he's fine for his friends & family, trying to hide the fact he misses star, so his parents convince him to be the exchange student for once. but since he has dimensional scissors anyway, he visits every 1-2 weeks? not sure abt jarco. long distance? still breakup? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

he might still be an unofficial squire cause that's for fun

Pony Head CAN get a prosthetic horn. but she actually goes through some kind of character development 😭

Ludo ??? I wanna do something for him I just dunno what. Yvgeny doesn't leave so ???

the Meteora arc ??? is paced better ???

Tom is fine Tom is great

this is ofc mostly s3 as s4 makes me so angry and bored fgshjs,, in the end magic is still "destroyed" and that's how star & toffee are finally free of each other. toffee gets to fight & kill mina while the redemption spell is cast, and he's reunited with celena to peacefully pass on :)

also the MHC aren't killed off nor is "Earthni" a thing 🤮

I'm definitely forgetting a lot of other stuff! plus the au's not wholly developed aha

[ispyspookymansion]

kora i have to be honest watching this poll unfold is causing me such pain. you people are INSANE if you think halloween is a good franchise. in one movie it's revealed that michael kills because he was cursed by a celtic cult that worships an anglo-saxon LETTER!!!!! also honestly thank you for excluding hellraiser just bc i KNOW people would only be voting based on like. 3 out of the 11 films in that franchise and the majority of those films are some of the worst i have seen. i love 1 and 2 and had fun with 3 but after that it was depressingly bleak to watch all of them. sorry for writing an essay in your inbox kora i just go insane when i see people completely glaze over the word "franchise" and vote based on how much they like the first 2 or so movies of a franchise with 9+ installments

ITS OK!!!!! its always ok for you to write an essay in my inbox. the halloween sequels get soooo lost and im NOT even being boring and talking about iii, thats Not the problem area you are so right ! and thats what ive heard abt hellraiser, i also took it off bc i havent seem them except for the first one and its my poll i make the rules. yeahhh ppl are not considering the whole franchise at all which is maybe bc most people……havent watched the whole franchise for all of these and i GET that? but its still annoying. the number of people who are saying psycho isnt a franchise/asking why thats in the poll when psycho has 6 movies…..

[inthewild-flowers]

Alsooo I’d love to hear abt ur space pirate ocs (sorry ur uquiz came up on my dash and the words space pirate got me so hype)

okay i swear i’ve gone on about them at length on here before but i couldn’t find it 😔 curse tumblrs terrible search system etc etc that said !! i do have a space pirates tag on my blog for random posts that remind me of them so like. probably not everything will show up but a fair bit !! u can also find a bit more by just searching each of their names on my blog i think

SO my space pirates r cap tachi and maisie. i love them with my whole heart. they’re a polycule <3 cap’s aromantic bc i love projecting but they and tachi are dating in like a bffs sort of queerplatonic but almost romantic but not really and love each other sooooo so much way (also bc i love projecting)(although tbf i came up with their relationship before i myself had a relationship to project onto them. it’s still kind of projection tho).

they r also dating maisie but like the cap/tachi dynamic is. okay i’m gonna clarify first that this bit is NOT projection. anyway cap and tachi r suuuuuuuuuper codependent and like definitely pretty unhealthy but also it works for them. they don’t know how to live without each other and neither of them want to find out. they’re definitely the type to go on an absolute rampage if either of them got killed. tachi can do the most terrible shit in the world and cap will find a way to justify it. cap can do the most terrible shit in the world and tachi won’t justify it but he will forgive it. tachi is cap with fewer inhibitions. he’s loud and brash and impulsive where cap actively reigns those traits in in themself. cap also tends to be very stoic and doesn’t like admitting they have emotions. they take care of people that’s what they Do but they often do it to their own detriment. they’ll ignore their own needs if there’s someone that they perceive as needing their help.

tachi loves swords. it’s a bit sexual ngl. he also loves fighting people. he’s absolutely the first of the group to start a physical fight; cap prefers at least an attempt at diplomacy and maisie likes to sit back and watch things unfold. tachi is easily bored and tends to look for any type of excitement. he and maisie argue for fun, but neither of them are very good at knowing where to draw the line, so often one of them will accidentally say something genuinely upsetting and it’ll become an actual argument. they fight a lot, but they also make up pretty easily. tachi will flirt with anyone and everyone, and he’s usually successful. he’s got a huge amount of people on various planets that he keeps in touch with bc he slept with them once or twice and left on good terms. this comes in handy a Lot. cap and maisie do have the occasional other partner, but tachis has the most simply bc he’s the most extroverted and socially adept.

maisie love of my life !! okay she kinda sucks ngl. VERY fuck around and find out. this often results in Bad Things. cap and tachi think she’s the hottest person in the universe but she’s actually kind of gross and greasy. (obviously this only makes her hotter) she likes to hide deep in the inside working of the ship and build bombs, but she also does general repairs when necessary. she loves to be taken care of, which feeds very well into caps need to take care of people, especially since tachi hates being taken care of and will brush off a near fatal wound if he can.

okay this was as usual LENGTHY but i just love talking abt them teehee <3 still trying to come up with some sort of a story but they r gonna be a novel someday i swear to god

meet stella garcia // welcome to phoenix.

                                         the basics //

                                       deeper dive //

hobbies :                cooking - stella grew up around a plethora of professional chefs; her mother worked as the head chef in the hotel her father owned, her aunt mari owned a cuban restaurant in downtown boston, and traveling from boston to cuba every summer allowed her to learn from her grandmother as well. she likes a little spice in her food but likes to make food that others want - she usually caters a menu to whom she’s eating with.                gardening - though she’s spent the majority of her 20s in various apartments, upon moving to phoenix, stella wanted a house with a backyard she could create into her own oasis. though the types of flowers she was used to growing in her childhood home don’t work in the arizona heat, she has created a small slice of paradise in her own backyard, and spends her days off trying new plants and fauna as well as growing her own herbs and veggies when she can.                 gossiping - a natural gossip, stella loves hearing and sharing stories. while she primarily helps high school students find their path to success with college advice, the gossip chain around the administrators and teachers at her school keep her more than satiated with sharing news. she’s good about keeping confidences when it’s needed, and would never share what’s spoken behind closed doors with her students, but relishes in sharing the stories she hears in the hallways.                 photography & modeling - though stella’s family is fairly well off, she still wanted to contribute to her own college education and masters degree. modeling was easy for her, and though she stuck primarily to working for private photographers, she did have offers from legitimate modeling agencies that almost tempted her out of her dream career. 

favorites :                   food - lobster / rice & beans                   drink - rosé, coffee and pineapple-mango smoothies                   movie - the notebook & titanic - she’s a classic romantic who loves cheesy romance dramas                   song - stella’s music taste tends to be eclectic; she’ll have a favorite song ‘of the moment’ but couldn’t really pin one down specific song to list as an all time favorite. she veers towards pop / indie music, but has a soft spot for classic rock & classic hits and grew up in the 90s / 2000s so has a lot of that music on her phone to listen to too.                    color - light purple & mint green.  habits :                 casual smoker - very rarely indulges but will socially or with drinks  / casual drinker - socially and a glass of wine at home with dinner most days  / former drug user, marijuana and mdma primarily                    nervous ticks include chewing on her bottom lip, wringing her fingers together, and averting eye contact. her speech also speeds up when she’s nervous, trying to push everything out at once, which can make her already difficult accent ( a mixture of cuban & bostonian, since those were the two places she bounced between ) even harder to understand.  loves :                    baseball, the beach, seafood, the ocean, fast food, cozy blankets, bubble baths, candles in floral scents, new perfumes, wine and game nights with friends, debating, helping others, satin, cheesy hallmark movies, her home & garden, pool days, fresh linens and coffee.  fears :                     heights, motorcycles, and being ignored talents :                   languages, dance, photography, gardening and intuition 

                                        appearance //

Stella Aline Garcia is the eldest daughter to a Cuban hotel owner and a Brazilian chef. Born in the suburbs of Boston, Stella was surrounded by family of all kinds - her fathers family, running a successful luxury hotel in the main city, her mothers, half in Worcester and the other half still in Brazil, and the community they were a part of, with a mixture of all different cultures surrounding them.

For the most part, Stella was an average child - bright and eager to help, towing her younger brother Alberto ( Al, thank you very much ) around with her as they played with other kids in the neighborhood and spending all their summers in their fathers hometown of Varadero back in Cuba. Tragedy struck just after her eighth birthday, however - an accident killed both her father and her uncle, leaving the Garcia family without two of their patriarch’s. They healed together as a family - Stella still visited Cuba in the summers, though without as much gusto as she had as a young child. The hotel was transferred to her mothers ownership, to be held for when it was time for Stella to step up to bat. But while they lived a charmed life, Stella wanted more than just to give Bostonian’s another source of privilege - she wanted to help people, if she could. It was while attending University of Massachusetts for a degree in psychology that she found her true calling ; already a purveyor of life stories, she could use them to help people who needed it most. She decided to pass on the right to her throne in a hotel empire - instead, choosing to settle down and guide teenagers going through some of the most difficult changes of their lives. She connected to them as more than just students, but as people - helping them find their own passions and not just the lives their parents laid out before them. Love has always come easily for Stella; she’s dated more than her fair share of men, but nothing has ever felt just right. Though she’s been proposed to twice, she’s yet to tie the knot - and, once again, Stella’s found herself single, waiting for the right person to come around. Now at thirty three, the clock is ticking and she wants, more than anything else - to start a family of her own, to feel the love and passion she knows her parents felt for each other once upon a time. Instead, she finds herself facing a stream of one night stands, casual flings or almosts because nothing has quite made her feel as deeply as she knows she can. After a particularly bad break up - an engagement that went almost to the alter before she panicked - Stella needed something different. Though she’d been debating making moves towards getting her PhD, she instead opted to fleeing to the southwest, a place where no one knew who she was or what she was capable of. Phoenix could have been anywhere, really - she’d simply booked it to Logan and headed out on the next available flight. It’s been over two years now, and while she doesn’t regret her migration, she does wonder if she made the right choice by running away again. 

Currently, her brother Al is running the hotel in Boston for them, and while Stella may be a few thousand miles west of them, she stays in constant contact with both her brother and her mother. Working in education, she often still escapes to Cuba in her summers, attempting to hold onto a piece of her that she feels is important. But when she’s not traveling, or working, she’s often helping out whoever she can - whether it’s volunteering at the homeless shelters, teaching Spanish or Portuguese to those who are interested, or even donating money to local non-profits to help them towards their goals, all Stella really wants is to do some good in the world. And if the world is kind to Stella in turn, well, that’s karma - you get what you put into it.

give us some harringrove recs bestie!

i gotchu bae!! but be warned, many of these are pretty much just the ones i've read at the top of the list, filtered by most kudos b/c thats just how i find all my fics. so, there's a chance you might've gone through them already. regardless these are some of my faves and have stuck with me for years after reading them. (this was also requested by @roseinthewoods so here you go!)

let us begin:

Under the Covers by ToAStranger -> my all-time fave harringrove fic. this absolutely deserves its popularity and has one of the best characterizations i've ever seen of the entire cast post-s2. not only are billy and steve super fleshed out, but i just adored how steve interacted with jonathon and nancy (who were equally great as far as characterization goes) along with many other characters. but steve rlly shines in this one! this author truly brings the world to life with their writing and makes you feel like you're really watching everyone's lives unfold in an organic, but also bittersweet story :)

dried up, half full by lymricks -> SUCH a good billy characterization. i mean, truly. also one of the best interpretations i've seen of what could have been billy's journey towards becoming a better person. lots of angst and inner turmoil. made me feel like i was truly in billy's shoes and rlly conveyed this sense of just not being able catch a break in any aspect of life throughout the story. im also gonna throw a quote in here that i have had saved for a while just 'cause it was so heartbreakingly good:

we could be heroes (just for one day) by brawls, ToAStranger -> another fic with really good characterization overall. unfortunately this one is unfinished but as im skimming this im remembering that the dynamic between steve and billy for this was just AGHHHH i was frothing at the mouth the whole time. so funny and sweet and very slowww to build up. it was a very realistic take on billy in specific post-s3, but, more than that, i loved the inclusion of almost the entire ensemble throughout this fic. the kids were such rays of light, it rlly made this fic that much better :)

master of puppets, i'm pulling your strings by wearealltalesintheend -> ONE OF MY FAVES!! this fic hooked me on the idea of billy & robin being friends and i was totally obsessed for a little while afterwards. the author wrote the two of them so damn well together in the s3 plotline and i just love how they were snarky as hell but also progressively more friendly and deeply trusting of each other as billy continued to open up. its also refreshing to see harringrove from an outsider perspective, with robin being there to help them connect the dots. (also characterization was an a+ as usual!)

Don't Leave Me (Hanging on the Telephone) by Glitter_Bug -> this is a fic that is a lottt more recent in comparison to the others. i've been reading this since it was about halfway done and i must say - the banter is PHENOMENAL between steve and billy. the dialogue alone hooked me in with how accurate to the 1980s it was with references and had me reading non-stop. the concept of billy being stuck in the upside-down and only able to contact the real world through the phone at steve's house is sooo damn good. it rlly offered a lot of opportunity for fun scenes with them through phone calls. this is also a fic that is actively being updated and is nearing the end soon!

Renegade (Who Had It Made) by moonflowers -> this was a very tender fic about billy's supposed death and included multiple POVs. i found max's POV abt her grief and coming to terms with his death to be such a nice inclusion that added a great touch to the story and also the many journal entries that she found as well!!! this fic felt very human and personal, like it was something not meant for ppl to see - which, considering the concept of max finding billy's journal with notes about steve in it and giving it to steve, makes sense. it was a nice harringrove slowburn overall!

andddd there we go! these are the most memorable ones i've read but there are so so many more harringrove fics out there that are just as good. i found some interesting ones just while skimming the tag alone. hopefully you liked this anon!!! these are very near and dear to my heart :')

[blackstarmylove]

If it's not too much. . . could you possibly do other short info bios abt other bsts members? Idk much abt any of the characters 😔

Part 1 is here.

When I say “old Starless”, I am referring to the old location, which was owned by Iwami and managed by the Mikis. The Starless we know is the new restaurant owned by Haseyama and managed by Kei and Unei. 

----

Kei

Starless’s pillar and in-house celebrity. Kei is from the US and is a well-known celebrity there but put his career on a hiatus to come to Japan for MC’s sake. He helped create the new Starless and refers to it as a place designed for MC and her protection. He knows Heath and MC from childhood but had to leave Japan and go to America at the age of 9; while Heath remembers what happened, MC has forgotten both of them. For some reason, Kei doesn’t want MC’s memories to come back and told her a few times to not remember. 

Kei comes off as an arrogant and cold man, and while he does have an arrogant side, he’s caring but doesn’t usually show it unless MC or Heath are involved. This man is good at everything, can manage anything, and is always prepared for everything. On to flip side, Kei always takes everything on by himself, and if people he cares about blame him for something he didn’t do, he quietly takes the blame. Kei is the pillar of Starless because Haseyama tried multiple times to fire cast members, but Kei managed to find a way around the owner’s tricks. Also, when Kei temporarily left Starless to go to America, things went downhill really quickly between the cast members and Haseyama.

Kei is a wealthy man and seems to have connections to people left and right. Even Haseyama is scared of Kei, and at one point, he says, “Even the yazuka is cute compared to Kei.” This might be stepping into the theory territory, but Kei is a celebrity, yet people can’t get information about him which makes me think the celebrity career might be his side job. 

In one of the recent chapters, Gui said that his master’s face resembles Kei. Fun facts about him: he’s good at training dogs, is equally talented in singing/dancing/acting and likes watching historical Japanese drama. That’s where he learned Japanese from, so his Japanese is very samurai-like. 

Kokuyou

The face of Starless, aka Mr. Starless. Kokuyou was one of the first members of the old Starless and was recruited by Nekome. Despite his intimidating appearance and rough-around-the-edges personality, Kokuyou is a very caring man who looks out for people. Kokuyou is one of the few members of Starless that has a motorcycle (the other is Hari and possibly Nekome). 

After the Mikis and Iwami disappeared, Kokuyou tried to take care of Starless, but things didn’t go well, and the restaurant wasn’t making profits. He loves Starless to no end and wants to protect the restaurant at all costs because Starless is his home, and like some of the other cast members, he has nowhere else to go. 

Kokuyou and Akira were best friends at one point, but something happened between them, and they drifted apart. Maybe one of the reasons was Kokuyou’s need to have everything his way, especially when it comes to Team W. This is also why he can’t get along with Kei. From Kokuyou’s perspective, Kei barged into Starless - HIS territory - and started to make changes to which he didn’t agree.  

From one of the flashbacks MC had, it seems like she and Kokuyou knew each other or met as children. Oddly enough, the name of Kokuyou’s dog tag is Chiaki Takamori, and MC has some sort of connection to Chiaki. Heath has said a few times that MC is Chiaki but then turned around and said she’s not Chiaki; meanwhile, Kei told Heath to say that name around MC. But Kokuyou keeps the dog tag with him almost all the time. As for his scar, he said he doesn’t remember what happened, but he nearly died.

Sotetsu

Starless’s Tasmanian devil. This man loves drama and is willing to cause fires just so he can sit back and see the drama unfold. Sotetsu is a member of Team Sus and likes to poke his nose in other people’s business which kind of is part of his (other) job as an information broker. He joined Starless after fighting with Kokuyou, but we don’t know much about this yet. Sotetsu is a huge flirt and comes off as a total playboy, but after reading his Valentine’s day card, there is a much deeper part of him that he doesn’t let anyone see or doesn’t trust anyone enough to show that side.

Yoshino

Starless’s strawberry shortcake. Yoshino used to be very timid and lacked confidence, but now, he has confidence and is willing to do anything and everything to get a chance to sing, no matter the consequences. He and Sotetsu are the same age, and they were classmates at one point. Yoshino’s family doesn’t support his singing career as they’re financially struggling and don’t think being a singer is good enough to support the family. His hobby is playing board games, including chess.

Yakou

Starless’s salaryman number 2. Yakou has an office job and somehow manages to work as a full-time cast member of Starless. He initially joined Starless solely to get back at Sinju for destroying his chance of becoming an idol (look at Sinju’s section for more details about this). The idol agency lied to Yakou and the other group members, saying Sinju left the agency on his own and broke up the trainee group. So Yakou held Sinju responsible for losing his chance at becoming an idol but eventually learned the truth. After losing a versus battle against Rindou, Yakou temporarily leaves Team P and Starless, but he comes back as a member of Team K. Along with Kei and Yoshino, Yakou is a singer on Team K.

Sin

The walking-talking puzzle of Starless (who no one can decode expect Takami). He likes to talk in riddles but is also capable of talking “normally”, but who needs normal talk when he can confuse (almost) everyone and give them a headache. Sin knows about all the things going on in Starless, including who MC is, what they have done, what connection they have to Kei and Heath, and much more. He’s pretty suspicious himself but is seen helping MC, so we don’t know whether he’s on MC’s side or not. Sin is the second oldest cast member. His hobbies include reading, playing chess, and making tea. 

Taiga

Starless’s gamer. He came to Starless in search of his missing brother, Nekome, but found Kokuyou instead and decided to join Team W. Taiga is a talented hacker, but according to him, he’s a white hat hacker, meaning he doesn’t use his skills to cause harm to anyone. He’s also good with technology and is responsible for fixing devices used by the cast members. Unfortunately for him, a handful of cast members are always breaking the tablets, namely Mizuki and Qu. He has known Kokuyou for a while through Nekome and thinks of him as a brother.

Nekome

Mr. Lost-and-suddenly-found, and Starless’s newest member. Also part of Team Sus. Nekome is Taiga’s older brother and one of the first members of the old Starless. He and Kokuyou were really close friends, but their friendship went down the drain when Nekome decided to switch from Team W to Team P (in the old Starless). He was supposedly missing but showed up one day at the new Starless, and exactly at that time, there was a fire in the restaurant, which caused the whale skeleton to fall and crush Nekome and one other man. Kokuyou and Taiga both find the “new” Nekome kinda odd and find it really suspicious that he suddenly returned. He used to be part of a motorcycle gang and possibly still has a motorcycle.

Sinju

Starless’s sunshine. Sinju used to be a trainee in an idol agency but was kicked out of the agency because they didn’t think Sinju fit the “princely” theme of the group since he was from a poor family. Rindou was the one who brought Sinju to Starless. He’s one of the nicest and purest members of Starless but is also very oblivious, and sometimes people get frustrated with him, namely Yakou. He lives with his grandma and older brother and does odd jobs here and there to help out his struggling family.

Maica

Starless’s hole puncher. If you want to live, don’t mistake him for a woman; otherwise, he will punch holes in walls. Maica comes from a wealthy family, but his parents didn’t support his dream to sing, so he ran away and came to Starless. He’s very short-tempered and can get irritated easily, but despite this, he can think with a level head. Maica has a social media account, and though we don’t know much about it, I think he has a lot of followers.

Mokuren

Starless’s dance and food-loving diva. Mokuren loves dancing to the point of it being their obsession, but they also love food and don’t take kindly to people taking their food. They have a kinda chill side, but for the most part, they are sharp with their words and like everything to go their way. Mokuren is also relentless when it to Team C’s dancing and will make their team practice to the point of collapsing if needed. Before they came to Starless, Mokuren worked as a drag queen along with Qu.

Hari

Starless’s bonbon. He is the son of a politician and comes from a very rich family, but he wants to follow his passion for the time being before having to return to studying and possibly take over his father’s position. Hari is nice and comes off as someone who doesn’t pay attention to his surroundings, but in reality, he’s sharp. At one point, he hires a private detective to find out who is trying to hurt MC, but the detective dies. He recently got into motorcycling and had a motorcycle of his own (seen in his 5* gatcha card).

Kongou

Starless’s chef and MC’s personal bodyguard (but inside Starless only). Kongou is extremely nice, considerate, and very passive - like it literally takes a lot for him to get mad. He got mad at Ran once (in his 5* summer event card), but other than that, he never gets angry. He is also the chef of Starless, and his food is incredible - even the cast members can’t get enough of his cooking. Kongou used to be a wrestler, and now, he’s Team B’s mother figure. He is one of the, if not the nicest man in Starless - a true gentle giant.

Ran

Starless’s sharkboy who won’t hesitate to take a chunk out of you. Ran wanted to be an idol and showed up at Starless in hopes of having the “idol on stage” feeling. His personality is very divided, as in he has moments where he is sweet, playful, and adorable, but then he can flip a switch and turn violent and cold. Ran loves violence and has a connection to the yakuza-maybe his father is even part of the yazuka. He is a member of Team Sus but covers his suspicious side very well under his cute-playful personality. Oh, and his hobby is arson. On a lighter note, he has a Doberman named Sabu, who he thinks of as a younger brother.

Unei

Starless’s overworked intern - someone give him a raise. Unei is the soft and kindhearted intern who manages the restaurant’s profits, votes, paperwork, team organization, schedules, fixing costumes, and much, much more. He doesn’t get paid enough to handle all these things, and on top of that, Haseyama doesn’t treat him nicely. Some of the cast members also push him around, but some kind members listen to him and help him out when they can. Recently, Unei has been standing up to Haseyama, especially when the owner threatens to fire cast members or play with them behind their back. He also runs a blog, but we don’t know what the blog is about.

Haseyama

Starless’s creep of an owner. Haseyama owns the restaurant, doesn’t treat the cast members properly, and only cares only about money. At the beginning of the story, Haseyama tells Kei that he is going to sell MC - speaking of Kei, he is the only member in Starless Haseyama is scared of. Pretty much, all Haseyama does is order Unei around and not raise his pay, try to fire cast members, milk profits, and come up with ways to pit the members against each other. 

Iwami 

Owner of the previous Starless and a member of Team Sus who mysteriously disappeared one day. We don’t know much about Iwami - at this point, but we know that Kei suspects Iwami had something to do with MC’s fainting from the first borderline. Apparently, he is broke and jobless. Iwami said that he finished his job and is now back...that is a very suspicious thing to say - normal people would just say they quit their job or were fired. He’s also the oldest in the game but has maintained himself very well. 

Akito and Koharu Miki

The husband-wife duo that handled all the stories/direction/choreography at the old Starless owned by Iwami. One day, they suddenly went missing, along with Iwami, and the old Starless was closed down. We don’t know much about them, but some of the cast members have said Koharu was very scary, as in someone who you don’t want to mess with. 

[sleepysnk]

OKAY i’m screaming but what abt like eren being a football (doesn’t have to be football) player and he’s just watching the reader (doesn’t have to be a cheerleader) cheer him and that motivates him and celebrate his win after

aw! i absolutely love this request! jock Eren is definitely fun to write for, i hope you enjoy! thank you for requesting 💗 sorry again if this was ass.

Touchdowns and Kisses

Pairings: Eren Jaeger x Fem!Reader

Warnings: None

The atmosphere at Trost University was exciting and full of anticipation.

It was the rival game against Marley University, most of the student body was hyped for the game and many students from both of the schools attended the game.

The students all sat in crowds watching the game unfold, there was two minutes left and it was the fourth quarter. Marley was currently in the lead by three points, Trost needed a touchdown to win the game.

Nervousness rushed through everyone, they only had four times to get the ball to the endzone. If not, Marley would regain possession and that would be it. They needed to score here and now to win the game.

"Dude there is no way we can make it past! Do you see their defense? They're tearing ass," Eren said to Reiner.

It was their final timeout, "Eren have a little hope here! As long as we get to a good point we will win," Reiner replied, his eyes rolling.

"Come on! Let's do this!" Jean yelled.

They clapped together and walked into position to pass the ball. Eren swallowed thickly as he waited for the ball to be snapped towards Reiner, they needed to get down the field at least.

"Hut!"

Eren ran down the field, his arms opening for the ball. He turned to see the ball falling towards him, he reached his arms up and caught it, landing on the turf near Marley's 30 yard line.

"Hell yeah Eren!"

He stood up, seeing his girlfriend cheering in the stands. She wore his jersey and called for him. (Y/N) really was his biggest motivator when it came to football, she came to every game, celebrated wins with him, and even let him rant when they lost those games.

"Let's go! We don't have much time left! The clock is still running Jaeger!" his coach yelled from the sidelines.

Eren tossed the ball to the referee and ran back to his position. He felt everything suddenly slow down, his mind beginning to race and (Y/N)'s words began to echo in his mind.

"You got this baby! I believe in you! I mean it when I say it."

"Think of me when you make a touchdown! I love you!"

"Hut!" Reiner's voice broke him out of his trance.

Eren began to run forward, the ball falling into his arms. Cheers erupted into the stands as Eren ran towards the endzone, he pushed away the players trying to bring him down. He ran into the endzone and threw the ball onto the ground.

"Touchdown! Trost University!"

His teammates ran behind him, "Fuck yeah Eren!" Jean yelled.

"Eren!"

His head turned to (Y/N) in the stands cheering and waving at him. A smile formed on his features, he pointed his finger up at her to show her that he acknowledged her.

"That is the final ladies and gentlemen!" the announcer called over the loud speaker.

Eren smiled hearing the news, he took off his helmet and wiped the sweat that dripped from hid head. He felt excitement and relief washing over him, they won. They actually won.

The team went to the locker room to change, Eren was eager to see (Y/N), she was a huge help for this win and his motivation. He wanted to celebrate with her.

-

"See you next season, Eren!" Reiner called as he headed towards his car.

Eren nodded, "Bet! See you then!" he replied.

Eren walked towards his car, a smile grew onto his face seeing (Y/N) standing there. Her hands around her arms.

She ran towards him, "Hi baby!" she said.

Eren embraced her in a hug, "Hi princess... I'm so glad to see you. You doing okay?" he asked, cupping her cheek.

She smiled, "I'm fine.. congrats on your win! I'm so happy for you, are you going to the after parties or?"

He chuckled, "Nah.. I was thinking we could.. celebrate with each other? I really don't feel like partying tonight," he replied.

Her arms wrapped around his neck, "That sounds great! You wanna get going?" she said.

"For sure, let's get going." Eren said, his hands reaching into his pockets for his car keys.

(Y/N) walked to the passenger side and got in as Eren unlocked the car, he tossed his bag in the backseat and got in the front.

His eyes averted towards hers, a smile growing onto his face again.

"What?" she asked.

Eren cupped her cheek, "Come here," he replied, bringing her face closer to his. He pressed a soft kiss on her lips, her cheeks growing hot. "I love you.."

She smiled, "I love you too.."

Eren leaned back before turning the key to start his car, his hand found its way to her thigh giving it a small squeeze before he began the drive back to the apartment they shared.

"I'm really happy for you, you know." she said, breaking the silence between them.

Eren looked over at her as he slowed at the red stop light. The glow lighting onto his skin, "Thank you baby.. I appreciate it a ton," he replied.

Her fingers intertwined with his, "Of course babe, the team couldn't have done it without you." she smiled.

Eren chuckled a bit, "It was all a group effort though, really," he said, pressing on the gas causing the car to go forward.

Eventually the two arrived back to their apartment, Eren was quite sore from the game and (Y/N) was tired herself from the long day. He wanted to lay down and cuddle up with her, it was his perfect way of celebrating, plus, why would he deny that? It was better than any party.

Eren was laying on the bed they shared, he was staring at the ceiling waiting for (Y/N) to come out from the bathroom. His mind began to wander to her voice before Reiner made that last play, she was one of the many reasons why he was motivated to win. She had always been there.

"Sorry I took forever.. what you thinking about handsome?"

Eren looked over to see her crawling into bed, she was wearing shorts and one of his t-shirts. A smile grew onto his lips.

"Eh nothing... it isn't important anyway, come here though, it's been awhile since we've been like this." he replied, opening his arms for her.

She gladly went into his embrace, she felt his warmth surrounding her like a thick blanket. "I missed nights like these.. even if we do live together," she giggled.

He ran his fingers along her hair, "I missed them too.. but don't worry, I'm here now and that's not going to change. At least for a bit anyway," he said. "But uh.. I wanted to tell you something."

She shifted a bit, her eyes finding their way up to his emerald ones. "Huh? What is it?" she asked.

Eren cleared his throat a bit, "When it was the final play of the game.. I heard your voice in my head. It was you telling me all those things before the game.. and I like to say that you helped me win today. Without you (Y/N).. I probably wouldn't have been able to win," he replied. "You're my biggest motivator and I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend.."

A smile grew onto her face, "Eren that's so.. sweet of you. I just love seeing you happy babe, that's one of the many reasons why I motivate you so much. I love you, Eren, I wanna see you do good."

Eren felt his heart grow warm and swell, "I love you more (Y/N), thank you for being with me. Your support is probably one of the many reasons why I keep going, I do all of this for you." he said.

She lied her head against his chest, "I'll always be your #1 motivator, forever and always."

He kissed the top of her head, "Can I make you Mrs.Jaeger yet? I wanna keep you forever," he asked, pulling her closer against him.

She giggled, "Maybe after we finish school.. right now we should focus on celebrating," she smiled.

Eren put his hands around her waist, he brought her body so she was now on top of him. "Oh? And what might that be beautiful?" he asked, a brow raising.

She rolled her eyes playfully, "Hm.. maybe some kisses? You deserve it after the touchdown you made today," she replied running her fingers along his brunette locks.

Eren put his hands on her hips, "Oh? Say less then.." he whispered before leaning in and pressing a kiss on her lips.

Her hands found their way to his neck, bringing him closer to her. His tongue glided along her bottom lip, asking for permission; in which she opened a bit wider to let him explore the cavern of her mouth.

He pulled back, "That was well needed for sure.." he smirked.

(Y/N) shifted a bit, "There's more where that came from!" she yelled before pressing her lips against his cheeks.

Eren started to laugh from the attack of kisses on his face, her lips ticked his skin and he couldn't contain his laughter.

"Okay okay! You got me there!" he said, his breath uneven from laughing.

She ran her thumb along his jaw, "I love you, okay? I can't wait for next season," she replied.

His eyes seemed to sparkle from her words, "I love you too, I know you'll be by my side," he said, smiling. "But please... can we get back to celebrating? In a more... fun way?"

Her mouth was now open, "Oh? You wanna be like that? All you had to do was ask," she said before laying down next to him.

Eren chuckled, he put both of his arms beside her head. "I'm going to have a lot of fun with you tonight.." he whispered lowly in her ear.

What's your favorite and least favorite things about Kaeya's and Diluc's canon dynamic?

ooo excellent question!! strap in, as per everything related to these two, i got a bit out of hand here lmao

i mean i think my fave thing abt their dynamic is how clearly they care for each other in spite of what, on the surface, is supposed to be a strained dynamic at best (warning for extremely long ramble about their in-game interactions and dynamics)

first kaeluc interaction

i mean, the first time we meet diluc, he's jumping in to protect kaeya - sure, we can argue that's a product of his attention to defending mond/keeping tabs on the abyss order/etc, but now it's starting to sound like i'm diluc trying to defend my own actions lmao

diluc's story quest

during diluc's quest, we also get kaeya's comment "I feel strangely comforted by the fact you now have an assistant, Diluc." i honestly don't doubt that kaeya was, as he said, watching all the events of diluc's story quest unfold - but with this comment in mind, it feels a little more like a 'watching out for him' situation than just a 'looking for entertainment' situation. and so he is comforted that diluc has someone else assisting him who he seems to feel more comfortable with than he does with kaeya - ultimately, kaeya just wants him to be safe (and probably knows too well his penchant for trying to take care of things on his own)

venti's story quest

and ofc we have venti's quest, where we got some magnificent lines (x) between them. this is actually probably my favorite canon interaction not only bc diluc is just sitting there for no reason with kaeya but also bc i think this interaction gives a HUGE amount of insight into their relationship dynamics in canon?

gods where to even start lmao i mean first we have kaeya's petulant little 'You'd throw me out along with the trash' line, he's so intentionally trying to provoke diluc, and the real intrigue of the line is that it genuinely seems unprovoked? like diluc only said to drink responsibly on his premises, and kaeya's just like OH YOU THROW KAEYA OUT? YOU THROW HIM OUT LIKE THE TRASH? JAIL FOR DILUC! JAIL FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS!

like from a character motivation perspective (since kaeya is not a cat), this SCREAMS that there's something deeper - to me, kaeya is poking at diluc for one of two reasons:

(more likely) he is hoping, in some capacity, to get diluc to deny that he intends to treat kaeya poorly

(less likely, but still fun) he is trying to push diluc away, make him dislike kaeya more by being obnoxious about it

both are frankly fantastic ways to examine kaeya as a character and how he wants to control the relationship dynamic with diluc (and diluc's immediate 'throw you out??' afterward just goes to show how much of a challenge that is)

and then kaeya goes on being petulant - talking about how diluc threw out their father's legacy along with selling off his mansion, etc etc, and diluc gets all grumpy about it ("I see no reason to cling to things that have outlived their purpose.")

and then kaeya says "Is that so? Then I trust you were most swift indeed to part with a certain vase?" - this is what leads me back to kaeya's reasoning for goading diluc on, and why i lean toward the first motivation. i think this whole convo, on kaeya's side, reads as a childish, desperate sort of plea to ask diluc to show that he cares, even if just a little (ie by refuting kaeya's claim that diluc had thrown out the vase)

(for those unaware, kaeya returned diluc's vision to him after his little study abroad trip by gifting him a vase with the vision at the bottom - this is detailed in the manga - the vase can be found in game in the winery on the lefthand side of the entrance)

all in all, from kaeya's side, this reads to me as kaeya being a bit hung up on the past, but on the negative side. he's certain diluc still hates him but is still trying a bit desperately to get diluc to show that he does care somewhere beneath all that

and then from diluc's side...well, it's not that it's less telling, it's more that it's rather face-value obvious lmao. basically, he flat out refuses to play kaeya's game (re: the vase, he says "Sorry, I have no recollection.") but his avoidance is just as telling - he knows that kaeya wants to know what happened to the vase, and knows that admitting that he kept it would be admitting to something more than that (that he cares about kaeya, still). and our boi diluc is very bad at emotions, clearly lmao

midsummer event (1.6)

i think that diluc's side of their dynamic comes through a bit more clearly in the midsummer questline, as does a more holistic view of kaeya and diluc and how they view each other and their relationship

after a bit of dialogue and me screaming over 'fated to be doomed together' you can talk to everyone alone, and diluc says (about kaeya) "Even after all these years, he still enjoys summer as much as he did as a kid." in the second solo dialogue track we can get with him, he adds (about alice) "Hah... Which means that in her heart, we're all a bunch of children. I haven't been taken for a child in a long time."

and kaeya... "Wouldn't it be great if we could age in reverse? To be a child again and free yourself from the strife of the adult world." along with (about diluc) "He internalizes a lot of his feelings." / "Just treat him like a big kid." / "In my opinion, it would be a good thing if people could stay young forever."

but i think all of this ties quite nicely together with their conch lines from the echoing tales (x) event...

kaeya: I simply thought collecting seashells might be fun. It was last time — although, we were much younger back then.

diluc: I didn't know you still remembered anything from back then... Huh.

this all, to me, screams 'we are both still hung up on/idealizing the past and our lives when we were younger and more open with each other, we both still want that even if we aren't able to admit it outright and occasionally actively fight it to avoid being hurt like we were the last time. we are both still shocked when we see some kind of indication from the other that they feel the same way'

aka two repressed adults too intertwined (or, ahem, fated to be doomed together) to extract themselves from one another and who care too deeply to ever truly want to do so

this, this canon 'we know each other so well, or at least we used to, and we still do, in some ways' aspect of their relationship is what really gets to me

things i dislike

i mean, you did ask lmao so i suppose it's only fair that i give u my two cents: really, the main thing i dislike about their dynamic is that it feels so stagnant. which isn't the end of the world, of course, but it does feel like we're barely making any progress with their situation. will they actually ever resolve their issues? the midsummer questline hinted at a possible understanding from diluc that kaeya not only remembers their past, but does so with fondness

i think the other thing that rubs me the wrong way is not so much an issue with their dynamic, but with kaeya's development as a character? while we see (and can infer) diluc's position quite easily - he's untrusting of kaeya, pushes him away but still makes gestures and acknowledgements that he cares about kaeya, is probably repressed and stuck in the past that he knows he can never have, and will likely require quite a lot to ever admit that he does still care about kaeya

i feel like kaeya's character is...more emphatically surface-level. he's suave and teasing and totally nonchalant, goads diluc on to the point of being a bit overdramatic, and has a habit of being around whenever diluc is involved in something. but i feel like his depth of character isn't quite as visible? which leads to things like wildly different interpretations of kaeya's penchant for putting his men in danger on the battlefield, or calling crepus' death 'interesting'. because these aren't built with context outside of speculation, it turns kaeya's character into an amalgamate of parts that don't quite connect, like we're missing a few important dots to form the whole picture. which, of course, might tie into kaeya's role in future parts of the story, and might make for great foreshadowing, etc, but at the moment, it feels a bit like a facade (how appropriate) but, unlike diluc's facade, we have less context to understand what's going on behind it

which of course leads to this whole dynamic feeling unbalanced - without context on how kaeya felt about that night, about mondstadt and khaenri'ah and his role as the 'last hope', how he feels now, etc, it's harder to get a read on his side of things, and more is left up to speculation

ANYWAY i hope that was an enjoyable read lmao i had a blast going through and parsing out my own thoughts on their canon relationship. i could probably be gay gay homosexual gay on main abt it but i figured i'd keep it as tightly tied to canon and their interactions as i possibly could lmao

tell us more abt the upper moons as culling game participants

u have unlocked the 2am ramble machine. welcome.

for starters everything else is the same like in jjk, with kenny and their masterplan and whatnot, just with the upper moons slipped in. they don't know one another maybe up until the culling game, and they even came from different eras!

(read more bc goodness this is long)

hakuji is a modern sorcerer who was already born with a cursed technique. his technique is compass, which helps him pinpoint a specific area of the body; not only the weakest spot, but also the toughest ones, spots that hurt the most, have gained most damage, etc etc. its like a gps that he can decide where he wants to go and his CT will show it to him. he regularly uses this to aid himself in his job as a nurse, and just in daily life.

he's living a pretty peaceful life with koyuki, until she's cursed and keizo is killed. by the time the game started he gets separated from koyuki, the combination of the constant anxiety over her and the grief of losing keizo causes him to waver and turned to the culling game for as a desperate mean to escape the pain. he has 67 points.

THANK YOU CHAPTER 173 FOR CONFIRMING CURSED SPIRITS COULD JOIN THE GAME anyways douma my friend from curses.

douma was a child who couldn't even see curses, but the way people kept pouring their despair and pain at him day and day eventually led to him being turned into one after death. due to his obsession with salvation even as a cursed spirit he doesn't cause unease, but rather an unsettling sense of comfort. followers who can see him spread the words on how he's still trying to save them even after death, so the cycle continues. people feed him their pain, he gets stronger, he saves people, they feed him more of their pain, and so on so forth. this cycle that's been going on since the edo period when he was born until the modern era causes him to grow to be a powerful special grade, complete with sentience and intelligence.

his cursed technique is bliss, which is a technique that numbs pain, physical and otherwise. with his immense power he could even make it so that the affected believed they were in paradise, to the point of neglecting basic self care like eating or drinking, and eventually dying a slow death. pain is how u can break out of bliss. likewise, instead of eating his followers, he holds a ceremony every few months to trap them in his domain expansion that further amplifies his technique effect, blissfully ignorant until their deaths.

douma joined the game because it seems fun!!! he's not a very confrontational player, mostly there to watch chaos unfolds. he has 44 points, half came from other players who attacked him first, and the other half came from him offering salvation to desperate, dying players.

kenny wanted to bring back the heian golden age but ive been wondering if he would collect violent sorcerers from other era as well. im going with the assumption that they did.

kokushibo is an ancient sorcerer from sengoku, although he's not one to use his cursed technique much, just raw strength, control over his CE, and his swordsmanship that's been honed for years on end. his ability to use simple domains effectively is almost like no other, able to utilize it both offensively and defensively, to the point that he's a dangerous opponent even without his CT.

when he still had his CT he never used it much offensively either. it was body temperature manipulation, which could easily kill someone with a touch, but koku has always preferred his sword over that. the most often he used his CT was in his childhood, where he would warm up yoriichi when winter came and his brother's clothes were too thin for the weather. but years later, yoriichi took the CT with him after kokushibo killed him in his blind pursue for power.

in the culling game he was found by muzan and they've been stuck together since. muzan being the one who keeps telling koku that he did the right thing, that hierarchy of power is the only thing that matters etc etc yknow the heian sorcerer's lack of value for life. besides there's a new world in front of them now. so many things to discover and people to kill, there's no use in sulking over the past.

they don't really keep track of which point belongs to who, but they've accumulated over a hundred together.

[doyouremem8erme]

Well of course I’m going to ask you 002 for Marcy :)

How I feel about this character:

INCOMPREHENSIBLE SCREAMING AND SOBBING /POS

i love her. so much. i am prone to sob over the inherent tragedy of her arc i can't even. i will proceed to rant about her for the rest of this post.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

every variation of sashannarcy slaps. sasharcy has those epic hurt/comfort vibes and theres just something abt them. omg. and MARCANNE. sdfhgjksfdhgsjd fckin. i cannot. i love them i will cry over the pining and trauma and everything. but. then. SASHANNARCY DFHJKGHDFJK. its them its always them. theyre bound by prophecy but also by their own choices to eternally dance around each other until theyre finally all safe and trusting and happy again sdfgjhsjdfhgsj

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

we need more maddie and marcy friendship fr!! frickin so wholesome. let her have fun and be goofy and nerdy and creepy and weird with her froggy friend!! i need to write about them sometime. without having marcy in a coma. bc thats always the context. i always bring in maddie for that!! and then they never have friendship time! so yeah. weird nerds.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

uhhh everything i want to say abt her would be like "SHE DIDNT DESERVE WHAT HAPPENED TO HER" or "DFJFDHGJKFDHGJK" which are both common sentiments regarding her.

so instead i'll be like. why do you fear season 3b. are you afraid of the suffering??? hahahahaha i will watch the angst unfold with rapt attention!! yes i will sob but. let me have this. i want to see her pushed over the edge i want to see her sob into sasha and anne's arms when shes finally rescued.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

ive had like 5 separate vivid dreams abt her waking up after being saved and it paralleling the scene when she wakes up from the tank but. like. its real its raw its emotional. i really hope they handle her rescue and the weight of her trauma as well as ive dreamed. shes been through so much shes been stabbed and tortured and possessed i want to see her cry and also NEWT MOMS. give her lesbian newt found family i am begging on the ground.

my OTP:

SASHANNARCY SASHANNARCY SASHANNARCY–

(no longer can choose between sasharcy or marcanne. whenever i write one of those. imagine that it takes place before they realize they can All Date. and so they are gay pining the whole time.)

my cross over ship:

a Certain Fic has gotten me hooked on luzcy so. yeah luz noceda owl house x marcy wu. traumatized nerds am i right. (but man fr. marcy in that fic... ow)

a headcanon fact:

frick i wanted to put some gender here but all i have is angst! uh she. is aware of what is happening some of the time while possessed and she feels her body moving against her command and everything :) oh also. those weird plug things that connected to her in olivia and yunan? those attach to implanted technology under her skin :) yeah. shes not having a good time.

[solarsleepless]

Please tell me everything you know about c!niki xD

THIS IS GONNA BE HELLA LONG SO HERE YOU GO

so niki first joined l'manberg - contrary to popular belief - AFTER the revolution, along w jack manifold. she joined bc she was good friends with wilbur and tommy. she opened up a bakery after consulting her diary/chat, and it ended up being pretty successful. not too succesful, but successful. during the elections, she decided to support her friend (childhood friend? the timeline is fucked up bc of c!fundy existing lbr) and together she and fundy made COCONUT2020. she didn't think she'd win, only really did it for fun, and supported wilbur even though she didn't join his party then her best friend and friend got exiled, and so she was understandably distraught and angry schlatt's reign was one of her low points. not her lowest, but pretty damn low if i do say so myself. she was tormented during this time by schlatt himself, and he made fun of her for her relationship with wilbur, called her things like a "wrench", he taxed her (to the point where she had to run away!), and he imprisoned her. it doesn't help that her childhood(?) friend betrayed her burnt down the flag that she had made for l'manberg (its so sad actually, listen to it) she had a birthday party that while i didnt watch ive heard that wilbur threatened to blow up l'manberg so yeah then she saw her younger brother-like figure get executed onstage, then almost got executed herself, when wilbur managed to get her away then it is DEVASTATING as she finally finds out abt how things have been going in pogtopia (especially for the viewers who only watched niki's pov). she had thought that they had a plan, that they were working things out, when really they haven't even got a semblance of a plan the pit fight happens, and then after she goes up to listen to one of tommy's discs with tubbo and tommy themselves during the manberg v pogtopia war, she fights for pogtopia and watches schlatt die and the nation become wilbur's again. then, of course, comes the part that all old school c!niki fans will remember... during the celebration they had just after tubbo gained presidency, she accidentally uncovered a small part of the wall and saw tnt. she went still, then covered it up, on the assumption that wilbur wouldn't blow it up BOY was she wrong her home gets destroyed (watch this and skip forwards until niki's pov), and she doesnt find out that wilbur dies until much, much later. to honour him, she starts wearing his coat. everything goes fine for a little while, and she yknow dates puffy (*SOBS* im unbiased im unbiased.... *sob*), and then doesnt find out abt tommy's exile until much later AFTER that. she doesnt really get in on the lore much during the inbetween period of tommy's exile and doomsday except for her city being built more. then, during doomsday, she gets angry at tommy and says that he couldn't just walk in there and assume everyone would be on his side, she also shouts at ranboo abt sides and stuff. later, she apologizes to ranboo and says that if ranboo fights for l'manberg, she will too. ranboo ends up doing nothing except watching everything unfold, and so niki does the same, except for one thing. she burns down the l'mantree, also known as her canonical lowest point. after that, she hears ghostbur speaking and has a panic attack, trying to reassure herself that "he's gone, he's gone, he's gone" and because shes too flooded w memories, she ends up blowing up her bakery. afterwards, however, she goes down into her secret city and isolates herself from everybody except for jack, who she plots to kill tommy with. she takes tommy to a nuclear test site and almost manages to kill him, but JUST misses him, somehow after this attempt, she scurries back to her little hole like a cryptid and (this is, in my opinion, her lowest point) isolates herself even MORE. she has contact with exactly 1 person during this whole period of four-five canonical(??) months, and it results in her mental health getting worse. technoblade visits her at the start of this, offering her a position as an anarchist to which she gives him a "maybe, after

i kill tommy" she gets night terrors, and keeps herself in a literal CELL so that she doesnt go anywhere when she sleepwalks, also punches the walls whenever she wakes up from a nightmare, which is often. eventually tho, she accepts techno's offer and joins the syndicate, naming herself as nemesis as a reference to her past self she manages to heal a substantial amount, finally having: a) a group that lets her speak (which is SO important for her, its actually the key to her entire arc) and b) socialization! however this takes a big turn, when she hears that wilbur's back she tries to play it off, then goes the l'manhole or l'crater, reminisces about wilbur betraying her (may i note the rocketduo where she looks pointedly at manifoldland and says "and GOD you deserved so much better dgsayufasyufgasuy) she grabs wilbur's diamonds, some of the first ever items she got in the SMP, then hides them in the wall, as a sign of her closing off from wilbur

PHHOOOOOOEEY THAT WAS A LONG ONE

okay so imma go with this writing cause its fun. so, you asked a few questions in response to the ask you gave me!! so lets go 1) why does she feel betrayed by wilbur? because she was one of the first people she met (canonically) on the SMP. he promised her that it would be a land of peace, prosperity, but she started loving it BECAUSE of wilbur. case and point: when wilbur asks whether she's loyal to l'manberg, she goes "yes, i'm loyal to you, wil." "no, no, not to me- to l'manberg" she quite literally wore his coat around the SMP as a symbol of her friendship and dedication towards him, because they were honestly the best of friends, and she THOUGHT she knew it. points out) and its the way she's learnt to do things. also remember: c!Niki is an unreliable narrator, that's the whole point of her character. it's a response to trauma (as @tubboblr pointed out) you're also probably wondering why she burnt down the l'mantree. and it's not because she "finally realized that l'manberg was bad" it was actually really simple: she wanted to be heard. she had been beaten down and talked over SO much (aka the BASIS for her arc) that she's so desperate to be heard she'll take desperate measures. another reason is because she finally loses hope in l'manberg. she loved it, loves it, but she just lost hope in it. she never hated it. she LOVED it, with all her heart. she just didnt believe it had any hope to be the place she had thought it was. if you have any other questions, let me know!!

More Than Friends

*** GIF CREDIT TO CREATOR ***

Anon asked -  Yay! I was wanting to request a Juice x reader where they are best friends and they're always caught flirting with each other or being really close (acting like a couple but they're not kinda thing) and the guys start joking abt it and it leads to them telling each other how they feel. If you wanted to throw in a little angst where Juice gets a little tired of the jokes or something, you could. ❤😊

“Juan Carlos Ortiz, what is that?” You pointed to your bestfriends bright pink t-shirt he decided to wear to the club house today. You were there bringing the men lunch, like you did all your days off.

“It’s called fashion baby” he replied winking and flashing his big grin at you.

“He knows you love the colour pink Y/N, so he chose to wear it today” Happy said trying to contain his laughter. Juice turned around and gave the older man a glare, using his eyes to tell him to shut up.

You met Juice just over a year ago now. He saw you lifting your shopping into your house and asked if you needed help. He was wearing a kutte that should have made him look bad, but his cute and innocent face made him look like a small puppy, so you accepted his help. You both hit it off straight away and became fast friends.

He invited you to one of the parties that his club held, and introduced you to all of the other members of the MC. They couldn’t believe that you guys were just friends. No matter how many times you or Juice assured them, they wouldn’t let it go.

You did have feelings for Juice that were not the friendship type, but you hadn’t had a friendship like yours and his your whole life, so you didn’t want to ruin it by telling him you liked him, and then lose him as a friend if he didn’t take the declaration well. You didn’t know that Juice felt the same way about you too.

You and Juice did everything together, like 2 peas in a pod. He even stayed over at your place a couple of times a week. He always slept on the couch, and was always up and out before you awoke in the morning. You loved having Juice in your house, he made you feel safe.

“Are you coming to the party tonight little bear?” That was Juice’s nickname for you. He said you reminded him of a bear. You looked beautiful on the outside, but inside you were fiery and unpredictable apparently. That was his words, not yours. You asked him what he meant by that, but he always shook his head and gave you a small smile, avoiding the question.

“Of course, I wouldn’t miss it for the world, I’ll swing by around 8, but please don’t wear anything pink” You gave Happy a smile, and leaned up to leave a kiss on Juice’s cheek.

“Where is mine?” Happy asked. He always loved to stir up trouble. He couldn’t help himself. You gave Happy the finger and shook your head at him, leaving the clubhouse.

You only wore dresses to the SAMCRO parties. Your usual attire was jeans and jumpers. So everytime you walked into the party, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at you making your entrance, jaws pretty much on the floor. Including Juice and tonight was no different.

“Wipe your mouth Ortiz, it’s covered in saliva” you winked at him. Juice was sitting at one of the tables with the rest of the Sons. Your comment caused the men to erupt into laughter.

“Aye Juicy boy, wipe yer mouth” Chibs said, slapping Juice on the shoulder. You could see Juice’s jaw was clenched and his fist was too. You sat down on his lap and wrapped your arms around him.

“Ignore them” you whispered in his ear. Juice was always one to get annoyed and upset very quickly. He didn’t take jokes really well and didn’t know how to react to them. He was pretty sensitive but that’s something you liked about him. He learned quickly about your sense of humour, so he was able to adapt to it fairly easily, but your sense of humour was timid compared to the other men, which is why it was hard for Juice to understand and take part.

He turned to face you, looking deep into your eyes. “I’m trying” he whispered back.

“Will you two just kiss already dammit” It was Tig who made the smartass comment this time. You glared at the man which had him being quiet immediately. Juice gently stood you up, and stood up himself and walked over towards the bar.

“Can’t you all just shut the fuck up about Juice and I? Seriously, it was funny the first few times but now it is tiring, don’t you all have something better to do?” You didn’t shout at them, but you weren’t exactly quiet either. You left the table and went off to look for Juice.

You saw him standing at the side of the bar, eyeing up the table the both of you had occupied just a few minutes ago. You could see the anger in his eyes even though you were not right in front of him. His eyes softened when he saw you approaching him.

“That is why I call you little bear” he told you. “You look all sweet and innocent, and then boom you erupt into a fiery bear and explode, thank you Y/N, but I could have told them myself”.

“I know, but then their reactions wouldn’t have been as fun, because they don’t expect that to come from me” you assured him. “Besides, I like sticking up for you”.

“I know why they keep teasing us” Juice grabbed your hand and led you to a quieter area of the clubhouse. “It’s because we act like a couple all the time” You assumed Juice had drank a couple of beers in quick succession in the time you were giving the Sons a lecture, as he was rarely confident in talking about things like this. “Why aren’t we a couple?” He asked you.

The question threw you off guard. “Personally Juice, I don’t want to ruin the amazing friendship we have. I am so thankful to have you in my life as a friend” Juice was still holding your hand at this point and the contact felt different this time. You had held hands with him plenty of times before, but this was different. It had a different meaning to it.

“I told myself that too Y/N, but I’m fucking tired of my brothers teasing me, telling me I don’t have the balls to admit my feelings for you” Juice looked over at the men who were all watching this scene unfold in front of them. “I like you” he said.

You let out a breath you didn’t even know you were holding. A huge smile found its way onto your face. “Come here” you replied and pulled him into you for a kiss. “I like you too”. You stood on your tiptoes and whispered something in his ear. His eyes lit up.

“Fucking finally!” Chibs stood up from the table and shouted, and the rest of the guys starting joining in, clapping and fist bumping each other. You led Juice this time, over to the table and gave him a nudge with your elbow.

“I just want to say, you are all assholes, and now you can stop with the jokes about us” The men were taken aback at Juice’s comment. “But I love you guys” Juice couldn’t help himself. He couldn’t stay mad at the men he called his brothers. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to take my girlfriend home” and you and Juice left the party hand in hand, both smiling like idiots.
