Ultra magnus caregiver headcanons?

I dont know much about him personally, but I'll try my best to do justice by him. However I love his design, I have a figure of him! There's never enough Transformers Agere posts. -Oak

▪︎Ultra Magnus caregiver headcanons!▪︎

▪︎- before he became your caregiver, Ultra magnus didn't think much about age regression. He knew about it, but he didn't have any strong opinions on it.

▪︎- that was until he saw you regressed. He was shocked at first, but he couldn't stop himself from feeling protective.

▪︎- Ultra Magnus quickly became your caregiver, but it was never actually said between you two. He just became a constant figure in your regressions, he claimed it was because you needed someone to protect you in such a vulnerable state.

▪︎- the first moment that it was ever acknowledged was the first time you gave him a nickname title... whether it was papa, dada or something else didn't matter to him, you could call him whatever you wanted. All that mattered to him was that you trusted him enough to want him as you caregiver.

▪︎- Ultra Magnus is good with all kinds of regressors. if you use pacifiers, stuffies, coloring books or have any other little supplies, he would keep them in a drawer in his office. He always wanted you to enjoy your time regressing, even if he couldn't have his full attention on you.

▪︎- Untra Magnus loves holding you in his lap while he does paperwork, it's one of the only times you'll see a smile on his face while he's working.

▪︎- if you're an autobot, he's always scared when you're on solo missions. Usually he worms himself into them, but you tell him not to he'll back off.

▪︎- if you're a decepticon, be knows you can handle your own. He just worries that the other autobots will find out about you.

▪︎- if you're human, Ultra Magnus loves carrying you around. Sometimes he would even cuddle you as Minimus

▪︎- overall a very loving and protective caregiver, he would love to buy you stuffies.

Halloween headcanons!

▪︎- At first, Ultra Magnus doesn't understand the human celebration. However he wants to make you happy, so he plays along.

▪︎- the sight of your smile causes him to warm up to the holiday. if something as trivial as this can make you happy, then it must be worth it.

▪︎- even though he can't take you trick or treating, you have fun in other ways. He'd gather other members of the lost light and they'd all tell scary stories and share energon snacks... but Ultra Magnus makes sure it's never too scary.

▪︎- Ultra Magnus makes sure you don't eat too much candy, he doesn't want you to have a stomachache.

Request: Sorry the ask disappeared, but feel free to remove any characters I know there's a lot. But if you still take requests could you do the hashira and the trio ( Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu ) x a hashira reader who's like the reincarnation of Fluttershy. And just everyone is surprised by it because most hashiras are more outgoing. Thank you and Merry Christmas/ happy Hanukkah/ whatever you celebrate

---------------------------------------------------

I'll do the trio for now because I can't do the hashira's i dont have much time, happy holidays to you too!

Hashira version: Here!

🍓as always i don't know much English so if something is wrong correct me 🍓

Trio x hashira male! Reader

Tanjiro kamado

∆ tanjiro is going to visited the hashira's and when he got there he saw no one around then he ask kagaya to where the hashira's are and he said they're on picnic, he ask the where the location is and kagaya told him, he nodded then walk towards there

∆ but when he got there he ask to where you are

∆ "(name) didn't come, i tried to talk to him the we're going to the picnic but he didn't come out" mitsuri said

∆ tanjiro nodded "atleast giyuu came" shinobu added

∆ "....let me eat..." < Giyuu

∆ when tanjiro got there he saw you sitting there alone

∆ he thought he could scare you but you ended up getting you blade out inches from he's neck

∆ when you realize it was tanjiro your glare eye's became worried

∆ tanjiro calm you down and said his ok and asked " why are you not on the picnic like the others?"

∆ you explained that you don't like going out much

∆ he only nodded and walk away leaving you confuse

∆ then you saw him cooking a rice and stuff

∆ you help him a bit, and when its ready tanjiro said "how about we stay here and have a picnic just the two of us?"

∆ your face became a lighter shade of red you just stand there and now tanjiro is the one confused

∆ when he ask you if your ok you jump at him hugging him thigthly

∆ "thank you so much tanjiro.."

∆ "no problem love" he kissed your cheek then you two just eat there chatting

∆ ahggg i love tanjiro i want a boyfriend like him 👊🏼😭

Zenitsu Agatsuma

∆ i bet zenitsu is not an outgoing person and also is shy aswell so you both share the same personality

∆ so if you two go on dates your backyard of the estate

∆ but when zenitsu insist you two go out outside sometime (he'll ask if your ok with, he such a gentleman aswell:'D💚)

∆ when you agree you go out on some noodles shop hand in hand kinda awkward but comfortable sometimes you go to many shops

∆ but if you don't agree he's ok with it but your date is like you two are playing like little kids

∆ you both play: hide and seek, touch the wall, etc

∆ i love how chaotic zenitsu is

∆ I'm sorry if this is short:')

Inosuke Hashibira

∆ now inosuke is the out going person he likes to ran around jump around even roll around

∆ while you just sat there staying inside

∆ and since you a MALE he literally force you when you don't agree he will carry you out

∆ but he realized he made a mistake

∆ when you outside you look super anxious looking around and standing where theres a shadow

∆ wait i wanna make inosuke's part some senerio

Inosuke looked at you, when he first saw you, you look so bold and strong but right now you look like you about to cry (I'm gonna make inosuke have a soft spot on you)

"HEY! Why are you whining be manly!"

"can we please go back inside... please" the last please was quiet and mix with fear"

He stared at you and tug your arm but not harshly

When you got back he trow you to the bed got his boar head out then cuddle you

"I'm sorry..."

"its ok inosuke, thank you for understanding.....and please take a bath first"

"I'm a boar i dont need bath" he slap your back a little to harsh then fall asleep

You looked at him and smiled and kiss he's forehead

"thank you.."

Arhh finally done hope you like it just wait for my hashira part

[bring-forth-your-justice]

Welcome back 😃 If you’re still taking requests, can I please request headcanons for Joker and Akechi reacting to their American S/O telling them about the various holidays America has compared to Japan? I think America has the most holidays compared to any other country 🤔

Mmm how to go about this- Sorry if the editing is bad T_T 

Akira

This boy at the beginning of the game lacked literally any knowledge so I doubt he is aware of the various celebrations people celebrate around the world.

He knows for the most part that Japan celebrates Christamas and Halloween like the America’s even if not to their extent.

So when he sees his s/o fledged out in full green, he was really confused. 

They were sitting in one of the booths in the cafe waiting for him and once he entered the cafe he walked over the booth and sat down across from them.

“So what's with all the green and clovers?” he asked curiously, with an amused smile on his face.

“Ah- no way Akira do you not know? It’s St. Patricks day!” Yet still after that brief explanation, the boy was still rather confused. “Ah yea, I guess I keep forgetting Japan doesn’t have the same celebrations America does.”

Akira would find your mix up rather endearing. Really he finds everything about you endearing. 

As he’s come to learn about you, you tend to celebrate everything and everyone, so coming across you with another party plan or celebration outfit wasn’t a sight uncommon but sometimes it was confusing. 

Today, you took your time explaining how St. Patrick day worked and what you were celebrating. 

“Yea, while a lot of people don’t celebrate it for its historical reasons, its still a day of celebration and cheer for a lot of people! Heck, some people take it as a day for good luck.” You chuckled and as you did, Akira’s eyes lit up.

He took your hand and asked, “Why dont we go out today? Maybe something lucky will happen. If you want we could try to make some Irish food after.. I’ve never really tried before but It would be interesting.”

Akira is always supportive of you and whatever it is you want to do, within reason of course. It is for this reason, the two of you spent your day buying green things and looking for 4 leafed clovers in the park.

Akechi

While Akechi doesn't have his hands deep into international affairs, he does keep a small notice for your sake.

He’s not exactly the type to celebrate many of Japan’s holidays as is, pretty sure he wouldn’t even celebrate his own birthday if not for your interventions.

Your enthusiasm and outgoing personality is definitely something Akechi had to grow to feel comfortable around, and eventually, it was something he loved.

Since he loves you terribly and has a constant need to be the perfect boyfriend for you, he does his best to keep track of all the holidays you spend.

After all, it just means another thing to celebrate, with you. That's all that really matters to him.

He doesn’t exactly get it, he tries, but he doesn’t always understand. But he doesn’t exactly mind you explaining it to him. Again, he just wishes to cherish every moment with you.

It is sometimes alarming, you showing up in full green, and hands filled with all sorts of green objects is definitely something that surprised him. 

He couldn’t even get a word in before you walked into his apartment, setting down the party supplies and getting to work.

He racked his head around trying to remember what day it could be, but he didn't need to since you grabbed his hand, placing a kiss on his cheek and a hat on his head.

“Happy St. Patricks Day Goro!” 

And suddenly, he doesn’t really feel the need for an explanation. He’s just happy to see your smile.

The more and more i convert to Judaism the more and more I realize that christians, and the agnostics and atheists and pagans who still celebrate christmas anyways, genuinely view "happy holidays" as a magic inclusivity wand that makes all other things they do to exclude non-Christians okay

Like. The number of times I've had people say "happy holidays, whatever you celebrate!" To me this week, when Hannukah this year ended over a week ago, is absurd. I get it from people whose supposed job is in equity and inclusion. Same with putting up "holiday decorations" which consist of a Christmas Tree and maybe some traditionally-christmas-colored other stuff. Candy canes and santa hats arent non-denominational, no matter how much you divorce Christmas from Christianity in your own mind, its still his name on the fucking box! Calling them "holiday decorations" doesnt change that either, it genuinely just feels like another form of cultural homogenization to me. You might as well openly say you view Christmas as the default holiday in this season!

And this may seem silly when I'm not even fully converted yet (Hebrew classes are expensive), it still very much annoys me because "happy holidays" isnt even inclusivity. Its the bare minimum. It is simply deciding to admit that other religions exist. You havent done the work to learn what Hannukah is about, let alone that it changes dates year to year because its based off a different calendar, let alone what to say to people celebrating Hannukah. I know what true inclusivity looks like because I've experienced it within certain spaces for trans identities, when you ask peoples pronouns and preferred names; its POSSIBLE, it just takes a bit more effort. And I dont think I've ever seen it towards Jewish folks, or even any of the other dozens of religions outside Christianity! We need to do better!

[hunxi-after-hours]

it's ya boy paper anon!! first and foremost happy holidays if you celebrate something!! hahaha i wanted to wait until im completely done w my finals so i wouldnt annoy you with too many asks, but rn im doing readings for my cultural geography class and it reminded me of you a lot haha. it's mainly history about capital cities, some art, some philosophy, kinda little bit of everything. prof still whack but the reading materials are rly rly interesting 1/2(

paper anon pt2: anyway! passed my spoken final with A, written and grammar classes with B :D still waiting for my upcoming characters final (which is history+radicals+ dictionary work :/) and then the geo, some antro elective i took abt rituals and then the only one i need to pass or they'll kick me out (and also my worst one) - intro to east asian linguistics. i have no idea what's going on w japanese. no one rly knows what's up with japanese. i'm hoping the linguistic gods will enlighten me

paper anon pt3: (IM SORRY) and as promised, here's my favourite fun fact i learned this semester: the water body around the forbidden city in beijing is fake and connected to a tiny ass barely river. no idea why it's so funny to me but it is kinda a mood. business in the front party in the back type of vibe. ANYWAY! hope ur well and thriving!!!!! if its cold where u live rn dont forget to bundle up!! <33

omg hiiiiii congrats on finishing finals!!! look at you go, acing exams and chomping your way through readings

also please feel free to send me interesting quotes from whatever you run into!! I have no plans to go back to academia any time soon but I do miss having interesting readings shoved under my nose (I don't miss the uninteresting readings though asdlfakjsd that's why no more academia for me, plus it costs $$$ whereas the library costs $0.00)

okay hang on one of the classes I took outside my department was ALSO a class about rituals in East Asia and I lowkey think about it all the time, still? like, what the purpose of ritual is in modern/contemporary life, the ways that ritual offer us signposts in the otherwise unmarked sequence of events that we encounter, the importance of death/grief rituals and how the increasing absence of them contributes to the unhealthy fear society has around death and aging... in other words, I read Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and Other Stories from the Crematory this year and it was definitely a lot of interesting food for thought!

the water around the forbidden city in beijing is. WHAT. aldskfajsdlf everything I learn about Beijing makes me want to live there less. not that I'd ever had plans to live in Beijing but seriously what is even HAPPENING in that city

hope you're resting up well over the holidays, anon!!! good luck with next semester!!!

[tokimekiinversion]

gonna do this yumejoshi twitter thread! (not all of them but some of them) (actually wait nevermind i just did all of them)

1. briefly introduce your yume ship! is it romantic, platonic, familial, or something else?

mmm we are so in love it is doki doki love romantic kiss kiss mwah

2. how did you and your comfort character(s) meet?

i watched monogatari!

3. what is the dynamic between you and your comfort character(s)?

they tease me and mess with me a lot and say funny things and i laugh bc they are funny. we do... physical affection i give them kisses all the time. they are also a little mean... and try to get me to fall down a dark path. but its not that serious and probably doesnt work anyway since i just dont do things i dont want to. also, to some extent, this video. im the one on the right. and it would be more like, ougi is reading a book and smiling but yeah.

4. how would you and your comfort character(s) describe each other?

me describe ougi: the best. amazing. wonderful. brilliant. wise. super cool. love of my life. beautiful. adorable. impish. rude. fun. funny. beloved. hot 😳. sinister. scary. creepy. (<- good things) and more!

ougi describe me: cute. foolish. teasable. admirable. bubbly. considerate. thoughtful. kind. pleasant. easy. boobs

5. who is better at cooking?

neither of us are ace chefs but ougi is more swift when following recipes. so i would ask them to make food and then they make it bad on purpose to force me to get faster and better at cooking. grrrr...... annoying 💢......... but i wouldnt mind that much because i'd get to COOK FOR THEM YAAAAAAAAY NOURSHING OUGI and it would probably make me a better more confident cook too

6. who is better at organizing?

ougi. this has no footnotes

7. who is more athletic?

also ougi. they ride that bicycle. i do nothing....

8. who tends to lose track of time more?

probably me more, but i bet ougi would get lost in a good book (prolly mystery novel) and sit up to stretch and its 4 hours later

9. who gets tired faster?

probably also me with my lack of good physical practice.... ugwah.... ougi should take care of me when im tired........... wah....................

10. who gets more excited about special occasions (birthdays, holidays, etc)?

easily me. although i would get more excited for events for them than mine. they wouldnt really get excited for either. but they would make sure to celebrate my birthday and stuff of course.

its like this:

i am the one who makes their birthday and such a special occasion... because i refuse to let it not be!!!!!!!!!!!! because they are the best and deserve nice things and should be celebrated😌

11. who is better at planning surprises/keeping secrets?

this is also ougi. have you seen that poker face?

also id be good at keeping secrets normally but they would just know anyway and make me tell them. also also if we were playing a prank together i would be the one trying not to crack up like 95% of the time. and the other 5% is we're both trying not to

12. what is something about you that your comfort character(s) don’t know?

mm... not much! probably random details and anecdotes. basically, whatever they don't ask about, or anything not important

13. what is something about you that ONLY your comfort character(s) know?

well if i said it would defeat the point! tryna get me to spill my secrets...

14. what are three ways in which you have changed since meeting your comfort character(s)?

im smarter and happier and much cooler

15. what are three ways in which your comfort character(s) have changed since meeting you?

HOPEFULLY, if they are not being an OBSTINATE LITTLE SHIT some of my love for them will have rubbed off and they like themself more now :) they are also happier, because obviously i don't make them anything but happy 😌✨ also they'd get even more insufferable. i can't not spoil them 😭

16. what is your favourite thing about your comfort character(s)?

everything! well, there's parts i like more. and they shouldnt be so hard on themself but. everything!

17. what is your comfort character(s)’s favourite thing about you?

they'd say boobs to mess with me >:( but it's not true 😇 they like my excitability and my kindness

18. what is your favourite moment featuring your comfort character(s) in the media they come from?

GWEH.

the gweh is just.... its just..... its everytihng

19. do you have alternate universes of your yume ship? tell us more about them!

welll...... unless u count me in naoetsu as au then no...................

20. what nicknames do you and your comfort character(s) have for each other?

oho?

i actually was tryna think up nicknames for ougi once but its hard bc their name is short already. i just kinda call em whatever comes to mind. they can be ougi, they can be my beloved, they can be my precious little thing, they can be the oug. the ouger, even. its what it is

ougi doesnt have nicknames for me they just call me by my name tho.

21. if you had to describe your yume ship with one song, which song would it be?

gwah theres a few of these.... hmmmmm.......

invisible touch is too perfect to not include

the bird and the bee - my love

mad head love - kenshi yonezu

and ill even put...

mitski first love late spring

arms tonite mother mother

some of it is describing the relationship more in general and some of its more about my feelings..... well thats okay too

22. where do you want to be with your comfort character(s) in three years?

🥺

i want us to be happily married and in love........ and i want to have raised my devotion levels and number of tributes 😌✨

23. if there was a book written about you and your comfort character(s), what would the title be?

going by the series' usual naming convention......... sakumonogatari (錯物語).

[hellhoundlair]

Happy Wincest Wednesday! 💗What kind of gift(s) do you think Sam and Dean would give each other for things like birthdays or Christmas? (other than sexual favors ofc)

i dont think theyre big on holiday celebrations! a very supernatural christmas makes a point out of how theyve only ever done christmas like twice. I think it also helps to add to their outsider/feel like they cant fit in with humans alienation thing that i love to think about, especially among smalltown devout christian types theyre usually around. i like them being raised to believe that religious holidays are pointless or silly and that theyre somehow better for not celebrating them (but of course they both quietly envy the classic image of the extended family around the dinner table full of food and laughter type thing)

I do think theyd do small things for birthdays though! i think john never did anything for birthdays when they were really young. would make him think of all the milestones mary was missing, so might as well not have any milestones at all. I think dean tried to make sams birthdays special as a kid though, and sam tried to do the same back. birthdays wouldve become days specifically for them to celebrate by themselves.

I dont think they ever really expect much from their birthdays, and with how busy they are with saving lives and hunting down monsters or whatever they would miss out on a lot of them, but if they end up having downtime during sams birthday week dean will be dragging him out to clubs and bars in the middle of nowhere to get him wasted and make him have fun. somewhere where no one knows them and they can get away with a little non-brotherly pda and forget about the fact that they can never have something normal.

i think dean would also insist on going out n having fun with sam during his own birthday weeks, and sam would go because "CMONNNNN its my birthday!" "your birthdays on friday." "same thing!" but hed also try to celebrate deans birthday in a more quiet way, through gifts and acts. And yeah i mean sexy stuff, but also being more affectionate in general, backrubs and massages, splurging on the top shelf stuff, driving them both down to vegas to lose someone elses money in a casino, that type of stuff!

[sebbianas]

whatever you do dont think about wayne having dinner with steve and eddie. dont think about them sitting in the living room because they dont really have a dining table. dont think about eddie and steve sharing a plate because why would we have extra plates when its just the two of us here steve. dont think about wayne smiling softy at the two boys because he knows they went thru something more than they let on and he’s so happy to see his son nephew so happy and carefree with a boy who looks at him like he’s the most wonderful thing in the world. dont think about wayne buying a new plate, glass, mug, spoon and fork because he just know steve would be joining their meals more and more. dont think about that one time wayne catches steve in the kitchen cooking breakfast for the munsons and how wayne said thanks for cooking son and steve almost cried because that felt so warm and he never thought he’ll be called son without a certain tone of disappointment. dont imagine wayne inviting steve to all their holidays because he just knows that the big house gets too quiet and its not much but you’re always welcome here its not gonna be a fancy celebration— and steve discreetly wipes away his tears feeling so overwhelmed because no uncle wayne its perfect thank you so much i would love to spend the holidays with you and eddie. dont think about wayne adopting this other boy who’s so busy taking care of everybody that he sometimes forget to take care of himself and if thats a job he and eddie can do then he would gladly do it.

[h0mestuck-kin]

before its too late

happy holidays guys :0

[faded-stardust-sys]

Ola!! Before you do this request, please make sure you are not hungry, tired or thirsty and do not force yourself to answer this ;3 Also, feel free to decline this request if anything is wrong with it.

Request: The proxies ft EJack with a japanese S/O :D That’s basically it actually heheh, hope you have fun writing this! Have a great day and take care!!!

Good morning! You better be taking care of yourself as well. <3 btw not exactly sure what you meant by the proxies, because my group includes kate the chaser. I hope you dont mind i wrote her, shes just so underated in my eyes.

Tim- he is indifferent as to where your from, but he does try to include and parts of your culture that you'd like to participate in. He'll celebrate any holidays that are different and try to make them great for you. I also he him learning how to make different foods from Japan like mochi, miso soup or katsudon for you. (If you like them ofc) Hes a great cook and picks up quickly.

Brian- also doesn't really care where your from, he loves you either way. Hes the type to ask what your doing if he sees you doing something that may be from your culture. He doesn't like to ask many more questions, but secretly wants to know about your traditions and things that the Japanese do differently compared to where hes from. Hes just shy to ask about it, so if you want to hes willing and ready to learn about where your from.

Toby- hes always excited to learn about his partners. Hes always coming up with new questions for you, and not just about Japan. Hes always very inquisitive, so be prepared/jk. He wants to learn to cook for you, but please dont let him in the kitchen. He will celebrate every holiday woth you though, there no stopping that one. He just adores you and wants you to be happy.

Kate- she's not the type to celebrate big partys, mainly because of the light and noise, but if you guys can do quieter traditions, she would love that. Shes not the best cook either, but she'll make you a couple of easier recipes if she can. She'll ask you stuff about Japan and the culture on occasion but the thing i see her asking a lot of is " how do you say ___ in Japanese?" I see her wanting to learn ad many languages as she can, just for fun.

Ej- hes very inquisitive about the culture of Japan and wants to know about the differences between yours and other cultures. He likes to 'people watch' to learn about humans and what they do, since he forgot a lot of what it was like when he was human. He'll try to do stuff with you, holidays and stuff, but he might not always be able to due to his sensitivities to bright lights and sounds. He does like the way it sounds when your speaking, whatever language it may be. He may ask to learn some Japanese though. I cannon him as being bilingual, knowing English, Russian, and a bit of German; he'd love to know a bit more though.

people who get worked up over people saying ‘happy holidays’ instead of ‘merry christmas’ are fuckin stupid and complaining about nothing

[anime-alyssa]

genshin boys valentine’s headcanons!

figured i’d be at least a little festive. these are kind of long so sorry sdkfsdfsd gonna put a read more. implied spice but not graphic - and i’m pretty sure i for once in my life kept it gender neutral so go me

these were kind of hard to do since i dont do hc’s really, i make fics and yall can for sure tell where i started to struggle skfsdfsd

they are also on ao3 so do not be alarmed 

Diluc:

He’d be acting like he didn’t give a shit about valentine’s day but this mf is a softie

Thinking he didn’t care, you’d offer to just stay in for the day or something

Honestly as long as it was just the two of you, you don’t really care

“What? No, we’re going out to dinner. I already planned it.” 

You were really surprised, since he hadn’t voiced an opinion on the holiday before

To him this year was different - you were married, so he assumes it should be a bigger deal

You dressed up in your favorite outfit and met him at Angel’s Share later that day and  you swear you saw his jaw drop to the floor 

He regained his composure before he could tease you about it, taking you to dinner as promised

He held your hand from across the table and listened to you ramble about whatever

You’d try to ask him things, but he’d shake you off, not wanting to talk about himself

Nothing was out of the ordinary, just a normal dinner

Until the walk home, when he pulled out a present for you

“I had this made for you.” 

A necklace made out of a Crystal core, melted into the Pyro symbol like his vision

You started to get weepy as he put it on, pressing a kiss to your temple and wrapping his arms around your middle to embrace you

You turned back around to kiss him on the lips

After that he couldn’t get you home fast enough

You thanked the archons that everyone else at the WInery was home for the night

Namely because he fucked you right against the door once you got him 

And on the reception desk

….. And the table

Kaeya:

Listen, this man dotes on you 

We all know Kaeya is the romantic type to the max so this is his day

He wakes you up by kissing up your body and making you orgasm

After that, he has to go in and work for a little bit 

You don’t really mind, he gave you a bag of Mora and told you to buy something nice because he’s taking you to Liyue for a few days

He plans on celebrating for days, apparently

“We have a lot to celebrate, don’t we? It’s been quite a year.”

Well, he wasn’t wrong about that

When you get to Liyue, immediately your taken out to dinner and told to order anything you wanted 

You almost feel bad when you glance at the bill, saying it's not fair he did everything when it was supposed to be for both of you.

Later on that night, you and Kaeya walked around Liyue harbor together

“You didn’t have to do all this for me - really.”

He looked at you like you were crazy and smirked 

“But I did.”

Imagine the look on your face when he got down on one knee

After you stopped crying, you somehow managed a yes

Once you get back to where you were staying, he was on you

Except now it’s time for you to show him how you feel

He doesn’t complain when you do

The reminder of your days in Liyue are spent in a similar fashion: eating and fucking

Childe:

He has it planned down to the second

When you woke up he was gone, making you upset

But when you walked out of the bedroom and saw the dozens of roses, all was forgiven

He left you a note, saying he’d be back shortly but to get ready to go out.

Once he was home, he found you and immediately embraced you

He was always one to shower you in compliments to begin with but today he was extra complimenting on everything about you

He planned the entire day around your favorite things to do, from going to the tea shop and to the bookstore

You tried to fit in something he liked to do, but he fought you

“I’m happy seeing you happy, you know that!” 

God damn it, he made your heart melt 

You got home that night and he cooked for you

And it was actually really, really good

He got you a few presents too, of course

Custom made jewelry, of course 

You fell asleep on him that night, with his arms wrapped around you and your head on his chest

You had been cuddling for what felt like hours, exchanging loving kisses between conversation

You didn’t miss how he said he couldn’t wait till next year

Xiao:

Thinks that it’s incredibly dumb 

“It’s a waste of time” he says

You get visibly sad, thinking now that you’re not gonna do anything for the whole day

You were gonna make him his favorite and everything, as a surprise

Now you’re just sad 

Oh fuck oh fuck why are you upset red alert Xiao - 

He asks Zhongli for advice, which isn’t any fucking good cause he tells him to show you how much he loves you 

How the fuck does he do that?

He doesn’t know

He settles for trying to comfort you in his own way, cuddling with you and apologizing for being an ass

You accept, and offer to make Almond Tofu for the two of you, but he says he’ll make it instead

It isn’t very good, but the thought is what matters

He tried and that was enough for you

After dinner he gets very touchy

That damn Harbinger was with Zhongli, he mentioned this is also something women like

He wasn’t too keen to believe him, but the way you moaned just now made his dick twitch

The rest of the night he shows you just how much he really loves you

Albedo:

You didn’t think he knew that Valentine’s Day existed, honestly 

Imagine your surprise when he woke you up with flowers, and saying he took the day off

…. But that you needed to go out for work first

You didn’t argue, he hardly ever took time off, so you’d go with him to get his supplies

Even if that meant you’d fucking freeze in Dragonspire

Once you got to his workstation in the mountain, he suggested a way to warm you up

Your heart skipped a beat, until he pulled out a warming potion

“What’s wrong? Drink it and you can be warm again.”

You drank it, and then explained what you had thought he meant

He laughed in your face, of course

“Don’t worry, that will come… after dinner.” 

Now you were fidgeting with anticipation the rest of the damn night 

(that was also something that didn’t happen to often, damn workaholic)

He started to notice at Angel’s Share, but you blamed it on the Dandelion Wine

He saw right through you, but of course made it up later that night

Right before you were about to go to sleep, you felt him slip something on your finger

It was a ring - obviously handmade. It glowed a pretty yellow color, much like his vision

“Happy Valentine’s, my love.” 

Zhongli:

He doesn’t quite understand what the big deal is 

“Why is there a day dedicated to love? I say it everyday, right?”

He thinks it's just a consumer-made holiday

Which it is, obviously

But god damn it you just want your boyfriend to treat you to fucking dinner

Even if it’s just Grilled Tiger Fish, that would suffice considering the former Archon never remembers his damn Mora 

You thought you had died when he walked you into the finest restaurant in Liyue

You refused to order until you had proof he had Mora on him

He agreed with a laugh and showed you that he had plenty 

He had arranged the table himself, apparently, moving both chairs next to each other

This was so he could hold you throughout the evening, make sure you were okay 

And whisper raunchy things into your ear while you tried to watch the entertainment like everyone else 

For someone who didn’t understand the hype he was feeding into it quite a bit 

He may be ancient, but he still had game 

By the time you were done, your thighs were red from you rubbing them together

You tried to make it into the bedroom, but he was quicker than you were 

He called the rest of the night getting his Mora’s worth 

Scaramouche:

“You’re kidding me? You care about that?”

You should have known that would be the reaction, honestly

After begging hard enough, he agrees to dinner

You claim he gave in, he claims he was going to do it anyway

(he gave in)

He spent almost the whole time irritated that everyone was lovey-dovey

“Scara, that’s how it is today. We look like the odd ones out.”

He couldn’t have any of that, so he moved his chair next to yours and ate with one arm around your shoulder the rest of the time 

You dragged him around to do things that you saw other couples doing

You know, like holding hands and going for walks, eating some street food

Couple things

He was quiet for most of the night, humoring you

You saw a nice necklace that you wanted while you were walking, but was offput by the price

They wanted how much Mora for that?!

You were eating a snack when Scaramouche walked away, saying he’d be back 

A few minutes later, he clasped the necklace around your neck

“I don’t want to hear it. Isn’t that the whole point of the holiday? Buying shit for your partner?” 

You tried to tell him it wasn’t just that, but he shut you up with some kisses

When you got home, he shut you up with more than just kisses

“This is what I was looking forward to today.”

pairing: Thranduil x gender neutral!elven-reader

wordcount: 1.2k words

triggerwarnings: talk of depression and injury, but thats like 2 lines, otherwise none

“It’s Christmas!” 

You threw open the doors to the throne room and danced into it, a huge smile on your lips and your arms full of decor. Thranduil sat on his throne just as he always did, but you barely took notice of him and his raised eyebrows as you hummed and hung up the first of your Christmas lights at the front of the room. It was Christmas eve, the 24th, and you had waited the whole past 23 days to decorate, even though your presents had been done by the end of November already. It was freezing outside, and you much preferred the summer weather, though you loved the snow as much, but the throne room was warm and cosy despite. You didn’t know if it was elven magic or a hidden fireplace or something other, but you didn’t bothered to think about it, happy that you could wear both hoodie or shirt inside and did not sweat nor shiver. The tune you hummed was a memorable one you’d picked up, whose lyrics you’d forgotten but with a melody you had sung over and over again even during the summer. 

The elven king soon strolled over to where you were now trying to put up baubles in red and gold and green. He was silent, but he smiled, not at the decor or the lights, but at you, so caught up in your work, grinning all over, singing and swaying and as happy as he barely ever remembered you being. You put up the last green one, turned around to him and dumped the rest of what you had held in your arms into his, then rose up to your toes and placed a kiss on his nose. 

“Merry Christmas, love!”, you said cheerfully. 

Thranduil chuckled. It wasn’t new to hear him do so, but... it surprised you every time regardless. That he was so open with you should be normal, but it was not, for whatever reason. He was about to answer when you grabbed his cheeks and pulled him down for an actual kiss, just because. Because you were happy and because it was Christmas, because you loved him and just because you could. Because he was yours to kiss. 

You left him no time to react though, pulling away quickly again and whisking around, humming a new tune and twirling through the hall. Your hair danced with you, falling over your shoulders and into your face as you did a pirouette and another one. You’d left it open - you did, sometimes, though mostly you put it up. 

“Tell me”, he said as he strolled after you, smiling and carrying the Christmas decor without a word about it. He was used to your behaviour, and why would he complain, anyway? “What exactly is this Christmas of yours?” 

You stopped in the middle of your little dance to look at him. He was still wearing his robes, which you’d more than once tumbled and tripped over, but once he opened your present, he’d be dressed in the same Christmas hoodie you were dressed in, red and fluffy and soft and with a Christmas tree on it, and baubles that changed colour, a little bit of magic you’d asked Gandalf for. “It’s a wonderful holiday!”, you declared, throwing your arms up into the air and spinning once more. “You put up lights everywhere and give presents to everyone and drink hot chocolate and listen to Christmas music and get a Christmas tree that you decorate with baubles and stars and you eat sweets and bake biscuits and pies and spend three whole days with the people you love! The humans celebrate it every year, and now we do too!” 

You knew that because of your travels. It was a whole other story to tell, but one that led to this very point. Until the beginning of this year you had left the throne next to Thranduil’s empty and Mirkwood without one of their rulers, to explore the world and visit places and find your happiness again. There’d been a time which you did not like to recall - one that had locked you in your room after an injury that had bound you to the bed for over half a year already. Your people hadn’t seen their ruler for years back then, first because of the injury and then the following time in which your mind was black and the world around you so dark that all you had felt were dread and anger and sadness. Even your Beloved had not had the power to help you - three years had you been stuck like that, eating only when you needed to, shut off from all contact. 

And then Thranduil had sent you away. For your own good. He’d travelled with you at first. But as you had begun to get better... it had become apparent that Mirkwood needed one of their rulers back in the least. So he’d gone, and you’d travelled further, through lands and mountains and seas and skies, and you’d met human and elf and dwarf all the same, had got to know people you never would have thought you would, learnt and studied cultures and languages, and in the blink of an eye two decades had been over. Two decades that Thranduil had heard from you only in letters and reports from others, two decades that you had needed to find yourself again and he’d felt as if he’d lost you. 

It had been a surprise, a shock, when you’d returned at the beginning of this year. The whole kingdom had celebrated - for weeks and months, and still your lover reached for your hand every night and every morning to make sure it was not all a dream. 

You had changed, of course. In the time you’d been away - changed not only back to feeling well, but changed, changed so much that it had taken its time for Thranduil to get to know you again. Get to know the new you, the you that had so much more in common with the young elf whose feet had caught in his robes and who’d landed right atop him as both of you fell because of it. And though he felt he now loved a person wholly and completely different to the one he’d sent away on an adventure, he could not find himself regretting it - not when you always had a smile on your face now and kissed him like you had done that very first time. 

“Christmas sounds lovely”, he agreed. “We’ll make it our own holiday if you wish for it to be.”

Because whatever you wished for, he would make reality. And both of you knew that he did not only mean Christmas.

Headcanons for being Hope van Dyne’s child

Hope van Dyne x child!reader

Scott Lang x stepkid!reader

warnings: insects (ants), sharp weapons

a/n:

prompt: anonymous: “Happy holidays darling! Would you write HC for Hope Van Dyne's child? Love the step-parents HC 🥰”

growing up as a lil smarty pants

grandpa hank was pretty proud, although he didn’t see you very much

once every few years

but he did tell you all these crazy stories about his adventures that you honestly thought were just fiction (until you were older)

“and i was as small as an ant, but i was still incredibly strong! remember that, kid. just because you aren’t as big as someone else doesn’t mean you can’t beat them” -hank

“y/n doesn’t need to be hearing those stories, hank” -hope

“why not? they have important life lessons in them!” -hank

“why does mommy call you ‘hank?’” -you

“because mommy hates grandpa, isn’t that right?” -hank

“okay, i think that’s enough of this visit. come on, y/n, time to go” -hope

your mom was very supportive of you, nonetheless

she wanted to be different from her dad

so she showed up to EVERYTHING

birthdays, sick days, tucking you in for bed, parent-teacher conferences, art shows, you name it

“here’s some tea, jellybelly. it’ll make your throat feel better” -hope

“mom, i think i’m dying” -you

“you’ll be fine” -hope, givin’ u a kiss on the forehead

life wasn’t like, extra crazy or anything. sometimes she’d bring you to work and honestly? darren cross didn’t seem like the worst guy. he even brought you whatever you might need if your mom was staying late at work

“hey, van dyne junior! i brought you a puzzle that might keep you busy for a while...and a happy meal from mcdonalds! let me know if you need anything else, me and your mom will just be in the lab for a little while” -darren

“thank you!!!” -you

uh huh, ur mom taught u manners!

anyways you started spending more time with your grandpa cuz they had a plan

thats when you found out that his “turning small” stories were not, in fact, bullshit

“wait grandpa...you actually did shrink as small as an ant?” -you

“why would i lie?” -hank

okay well cue you wanting to shrink down to ant size now it was your new aspiration

you did learn how to command ants tho!!!!!!

but unfortunately (or not so unfortunately) hank brought scott to the party

“hi!” -you, waking scott up

“what?!” -scott, jumping back against the headboard

“hi.” -you, staring at him “im y/n. these are my ants”

bullet ants were just crawlin around the place

“oh, that’s....that’s cool. any chance you could tell me where i am or how i got here” -scott

“wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy” -you, leaving abruptly

“are you bothering our guest?” -hope, watching you proudly nod “good job, jellybelly”

mom taught u how to punch 🥰🥰🥰

and let you use scott as a punching bag

but scott wasn’t like awful or anything he was just insufferable at times

“i think you’d like my daughter cassie. she’s weird and smart just like you” -scott

“did you just call me weird? mom, can i punch him again?” -you

“no no no! i meant weird in a good way! please dont hurt me anymore!” -scott

chasing him around the yard ready to ATTACK

hank had to tell u to cut it out

“dont tell them what to do” -hope

“someone has to” -hank

“excuse me? i parent y/n just fine, better than you ever did for me!” -hope

“do they do this often?” -scott

“every time they see each other but that’s not very much” -you

“hm...hey, do you like ice cream? specifically baskin robbins?” -scott

ur mom said “we do not associate with idiots ❤️” and then proceeded to associate with said idiots

scott did end up saving u from darren tho bc that mf tried to hold u hostage and scott was really not in the mood for that bullshit

“you alright, y/n?” -scott

“murder is okay, right?” -you

after that whole ordeal he and your mom were kinda a thing uh huh

and he introduced you to cassie!!! she was amazingly sweet and you could def see the family resemblance

“is this my new sibling?! i’ve always wanted one!” -cassie

“hey, me too!” -you

you hung out with her on a weekly basis, with or without scott

and mom and grandpa were working on a ✨special project✨

one you insisted on being apart of

“no, y/n, we can’t make you your own suit. you’re too young for this sort of thing” -hope

“pleaaaaase mom? i swear i’ll he responsible with it!” -you

“you’re mother is right, y/n. you’re just not ready yet. maybe someday, but not anytime soon” -hank

scott took you on family bowling trips yes he did

and just corny stepdad shit

but he went to germany and mom and him broke up and FF to two years later when you guys had finally reunited

“scott!! you asshole!!” -you, like this -> :)

“kiddo!! sorry to hear that!!” -scott, same energy

shading him the whole time

“ach mein gott” -you

“are you kidding me, y/n? i make one mistake. ONE” -scott

“you’re one mistake has caused me to live in MINIATURE HOMES” -you

“THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD THING” -scott

“WELL IT’S NOT” -you

“did you at least miss me?” -scott

“sicher habe ich” -you

“god dammit” -scott

surprise!! u kind of had a suit (for emergencies)

as a van dyne/pym, it was almost a necessity to know how to use pym particles

scott acted like a proud dad

“wow, you’re really doing it!!!” -scott

“halt die klappe” -you

“please stop” -scott, tearing up

finding out about ✨grandma✨

she possessed scott and touched ur face and told you that she was so excited to meet you but you didn’t know wtf was going on and you had the urge to smack scott but THANKFULLY you did not

“i have to meet her for real! let me help you guys!” -you

“okay” -hope

“what? really?” -you

“it’s about time we put your genius to good use” -hope

scott offered you a high five for that and u literally accepted it

“don’t get too happy, that was just an in-the-moment thing” -you, watching scott’s eyebrow raise “fine. you can have a hug”

okay okay well everything went okay and then half the world ~vanished~ including ur whole family but like cassie and her family took you in and you spent five years very alone and upset until one day cassie called you downstairs and whoopdedoo???? scott???????

“is my mom with you?” -you

“sorry, sport, she’s not...do you have your suit with you? we need to go on some...hero business” -scott

you missed scott a lot over the past 5 years, this really did cheer you up, even if it was just him

“how’ve you been holding up the past few years” -scott

“the world sucks, man” -you

“i can see that” -scott

he turned on some tunes for the two of you to enjoy otw to the avengers hq and it was probably the best memory you created since everyone disappeared

“wait, reach into the glove box” -scott

“oh, god, i hope there’s no rodents in here...” -you, reaching for a picture “is this..?”

“family photo!! you were little back then, i can’t believe how time flies. i mean, it flew really quick for me, the quantum realm is no joke” -scott

you were busy staring at the picture of your mom, you really missed her

busy ~saving the world~

and going to 2012 with scott

“hey uh just so you know, i might be able to make pym particles” -you

“‘might?’ and if we use faulty pym particles we ‘might’ die. would you like that?” -tony

“hey, back off, stark. they’re just trying to help” -scott

next thing u know ur in present day and THEN u actually got to hold the scepter bc scott let u

“im gonna stab you!!” -you

“no!!!” -scott

the other avengers, literally mourning natasha while you chase him around with a sharp weapon: 😧

okay after the place was destroyed u got to face mr. purple man and yo mama showed back up and saw you on the front lines

“y/n????” -hope

“mom????” -you

“scott!!!!” -scott

“really, scott? a shrek reference? now?” -you “...nice”

[loominggaia]

i dont know how i missed the whole "sirenes are second class citizens in aquaria" thing. on that note, would you mind expanding on how sirenes live within the aquarian alliance? aside from being the common footsoldiers and such

This is one of those "open secrets" in the Aquarian Alliance. On paper, all species have equal rights, even Terrian species. But in practice...yeah, not so much.

It's pretty clear that cecaelia have the most power and wealth in this nation. Sirenes make up the vast majority of the Alliance's population, yet they tend to hold lower places in society.

This is all by design. Sovereign is a cecaelian-supremacist who wishes the whole world resembled his native ethnostate of Tekee. That time and culture are long gone, but he is not ready to let it go. He sees the sirenes as useful tools to accomplish his goals, so he's willing to meet them half-way on things here and there.

But if Sovereign does achieve world domination, you can bet he'll betray the sirenes fast and probably enslave them. Most likely, all other species will be made into slave classes to serve cecaelia. In Sovereign's mind, that's the ideal world. He sees cecaelia as victims, not as aggressors, and believes that his species deserves to rule over others because only they are intelligent and capable enough to do so.

So, in this culture, you have a leader who believes his species is objectively superior to all others. As you can imagine, he only appoints other cecaelia to important roles in his government. Those cecaelia appoint other cecaelia under them, and so on, which leaves sirenes and other species to work in the ditches with no power or influence over anything. It's basically species-based nepotism.

How exactly sirenes live under Alliance rule is dictated by their culture. The Alliance's territory encompasses almost the entire sea, so you have thousands of different cultures operating under its rule. They are forced to serve the Sovereign, but they still cling to their own beliefs and ways of life in any way they can. They're allowed to do pretty much whatever they want, as long as it doesn't conflict with Sovereign's goals. He lets them practice their religions, celebrate their holidays, eat their traditional cuisine, and so on. But in return, they must pay taxes to his regime, obey his nation's laws, and show up to fight if they're drafted.

Some of these territories have higher numbers of sirenes than others. Some have no cecaelia in them at all, so you'll find areas where sirenes have more opportunities to rise into more powerful positions like government leaders and military captains.

Sovereign's regime is slowly trying to phase that out by moving cecaelian populations around like chess pieces, forcing them into strategic locations to take power away from sirenes. It's very insidious and no one is happy with it. The native sirenes hate it because it strips them of their culture and robs them of opportunities, and the cecaelian immigrants hate it because they're being forced to move somewhere they don't necessarily want to be.

Naturally this creates a lot of conflict between sirenes and cecaelia, which is exactly what Sovereign wants. If they're busy fighting with eachother, then they're too distracted to point fingers at him.

There's a lot of strategic, artificial conflict in the Aquarian Alliance. It can really suck to be a sirene here or it can be okay, depending on your location. Personally, if I was a sirene, I would much rather live in a place like Matuzu Kingdom, Mogdir Kingdom, or even the Seelie and Unseelie Courts.

Hell, even life Lamai Nation would be preferable to an Alliance territory imo. There is still some level of systemic oppression against sirenes there, but at least the Lamaish government doesn't gaslight its citizens about it like the Alliance does.
