Characterization Compendium

Key

Star sign: (canon vs. inspiration) traits from that sign that fit with this character

Canon = this is the character's sign based off their official/generally accepted birthday

Inspiration = this is the sign that this character reminds me of, and here's why

Colors are based off the elements each sign could be:

Air • Water • Fire • Earth

Batfam

Bruce

Walks the razor's edge between light and dark and develops an unhealthy but necessary dependence on his kids (particularly Dick) to stay grounded in the light.

Loves his kids, loves being around them, will never say this to them unless he's on the brink of death but there are signs. Loves them all equally but treats them differently based on personality, age, and background, which is often mistaken as him playing favorites (it's not).

Pisces: (canon) works well with any other sign, creative, deeply emotional and intuitive, hates being inauthentic, shuts down when hurt or slighted, nonconfrontational (in relationships not in the field lol – he'd rather ignore the problem than have a difficult conversation about it)

Immutable personal moral code but demonstrates mental flexibility (or cognitive dissonance) toward others, especially his allies.

I go back and forth between Catholic, Jewish, and agnostic for him.

Dick

Extremely observant, which manifests as intuition. This means that both his deductive reasoning skills and ability to read others are par excellence. In social settings, he won't vocalize this process (depending on the context he may not even realize he's doing it) but will react to whatever he reads. Others read this as charm (or intimidation).

Talent for leadership despite working more efficiently alone. Both his charisma and experience make people naturally turn to him, and a deep seated compulsion to meet others' expectations means he often does take the lead.

Relationships: Barbara is one of his best friends before anything else; Jason is his (the one he gave the mantle of Robin to, the person who first shifted his identity toward mentor/big brother); Tim is the first he got to mentor; Damian is the son-brother (the one he raised and dotes on)

Scorpio: (canon? inspiration) [I will die on this hill] charismatic, manipulative, deeply and darkly emotional (some may say broody), fiercely protective of loved ones to the point of avenging them, holds grudges probably longer than he should, will lash out when hurt but feel bad about it

Barbara

Used to dealing with men who have strong feelings about everything (i.e. Dick and Bruce) and not being taken seriously (first year or so as Batgirl, then later dealing with people's perceptions of her while disabled) so nothing phases her. Still, she has some insecurities, which she overcomes with sheer force of will that projects strength. Ultimately, she'd rather suffer in silence.

Doesn't completely agree with all of Bruce's ideologies (leading to some friction between her and Dick), especially around killing since her father's a cop. But they align enough to be allies. She respects Bruce and believes in Batman.

Aquarius: (inspiration) Follows her own inner compass, pulls away the more someone tries to control her, enjoys engaging in mental exercises

Jason

As Robin, he was constantly caught in the tension of living up to Dick's example and wanting to be considered his own person. He always treated Robin with reverence and tried to do everything by the book. His own trauma and Bruce's guilt have convinced them both that Jason was a "problem" – he wasn't. He took school and his material comforts seriously because he never had them, so he was a tidy kid and a great student. Critical thinking skills that he honed from reading classic lit.

As Red Hood, he's now torn between living his own life/principles and begrudgingly wanting to regain Bruce's trust/faith if not his love. (He's never lost Bruce's love, but he has yet to accept this.)

When he came back to Gotham, he was pissed that his death seemed to change nothing: Joker was still alive, Batman had a new Robin, and crime was still everywhere. He took matters into his own hands. He still believes his way is better than Bruce's but recognizes that it's futile to pursue his vision with the Batfam still around. If he thinks he can get away with it, he'll kill someone he thinks deserves to be killed (e.g. someone who hurts children, sexual assault perp)

Leo: (canon) headstrong, charismatic leader who attracts people to him even if he doesn't try/want to/understand why, can be insecure about why people like him (are they just using him/wanting something from him, or so they genuinely like him?), protective of those closest to him, he'll talk a lot of shit but it actually takes a lot to provoke him to act, but when he does it's vicious and you'll feel like you deserved it

(Additional context)

Tim

Burnt out gifted kid who was adultified as a teenager because he had to basically raise an adult (i.e. help piece together again Bruce's mental health). Middle kid syndrome – used to being ignored and uses it to his advantage. Often manipulates (or tries to) the others to enact some plan. Pretty shameless

Libra: (inspiration) rigid sense of justice and morality, good judge of character

Knows a lot of random stuff because it's helpful for a case but kinda clueless about anything else, great at deductive reasoning. Lives to terrorize Dick (sometimes) and Jason (always), while genuinely trying to be a good big brother to Damian and Duke.

I usually envision Tim as middle/upper class east/southeast Asian, which comes with a few features: private tutors, attending a private or magnet school, expected to go to college; additionally, some cultural practices that Tim doesn't take too seriously since his family is multi-gen American. He def has a jade Buddha necklace somewhere at home.

Cassandra

Doesn't speak often, preferring to listen and use nonverbals. Has strong opinions about things. Protective of her adoptive family, enjoys participating in shenanigans if only because she's included.

I want to learn more about Cass and think harder about how I want to write her, doesn't stop me from trying.

Taurus: (inspiration) strong opinions that take a lot of energy to change, reliable, trustworthy, stoic

Steph

Keeps things lighthearted but doesn't forgive very easily. She and Bruce have a shaky relationship due to his (perceived) lack of trust in her but she keeps things positive due to her love and respect for Barbara, Cass, and Tim.

Extremely resourceful, solid investigative and deductive reasoning skills, dedicated to the mission, fiercely loyal but also independent.

It can't be overstated how much I respect Stephanie's ability to fill a role, on top of her creating her own.

Sagittarius: (inspiration) down for adventure, has her own set of principles and doesn't follow people who don't adhere to hers or at least have their own, impulsive, good with money, regrets nothing

Damian

Projects self confidence, which is mostly authentic, but he has some deep insecurities around living up to the expectations and examples of everyone who came before him. Extremely independent but protective of those who rely on him / he cares about.

Inevitably acts like a child when it comes to mature topics, feeling strong emotions, and wanting to form connections with others (particularly caretakers). Strict vegetarian due to his respect for life, was raised Muslim and maintains some of the cultural practices.

Leo: (canon) Very much an August Leo – somehow attracts others to him regardless of how he feels about it, no need for external validation (although it's nice to hear), respects competence

Duke

Simultaneously has a lot to prove and needs no one's approval. He cannot sit by when he has the power to do something. Exercises probably the most emotional intelligence and self awareness of the Batfam. Doesn't fully see himself as part of the Batfam, and definitely feels guilty about being "chosen" when his other WAR friends were discarded

Def uses his Black card when it makes life easier or funnier for him. Similarly, he plays up being a metahuman to garner sympathy or whatever from the others. Deep down, he's insecure about his powers because he doesn't know many other folks with powers who can help him train.

Leo: (canon) charismatic leader who attracts people to him, independent, doesn't care about what people think of him because he knows himself, knows exactly how to be annoying

[youssefguedira]

Aaah I've been absolutely living for your zelda au posts!!! I want to know everything- there's too much I can't think of where to start!!! I'm gready for absolutely any more details you want to want to share!!! (also, thank you so much for puttling those posts out in the world- your writing is just amazing and beautiful and you're just fab)

anon this is so sweet i wasn't sure anyone was actually paying attention to that au bc it's uh. pretty specific to me personally. so it's really nice to hear that someone is actually reading them and enjoying them!!!!! so, here are some thoughts i have about how nicolo gets the master sword because this is one of the things ive been thinking about recently. along with how they actually get together romantically but i'm not going to tell you that i would like to keep some things a surprise. i also am putting it under a cut bc it got long:

- i know there's no triforce in breath of the wild but i don't care this is my zelda au and i'll do what i want. for non-zelda fans, the triforce is basically the ultimate power, usually split into three pieces, which are courage power and wisdom. princess zelda holds the triforce of wisdom, ganon holds power, and link holds courage. so in this case yusuf's got wisdom (well. not yet) and nicolo has courage.

- i know in botw link got the master sword when he was like 12 but again i'll do what i want. i still havent finalised how old they are yet but theyre not 17.

- so onto what actually happens. at this point, they don't know who has been chosen to be the hero. nicolo has already been assigned as yusuf's bodyguard, the divine beast pilots have been chosen and are currently staying at hyrule castle, and nicolo and yusuf are just about reaching the friends stage.

- so. one morning yusuf wakes up to find nicolo at his door looking a more than a little bit freaked out. yusuf is, you know, worried about this, and nicolo shows him the mark of the triforce on the back of his hand, which appeared during the night after a weirdly vivid dream he had about a forest and a sword in a stone pedestal.

- (now as a quick side note - while in the zelda games the triforce always just looks glowy and gold and cool on the back of link's hand, nicolo's mark looks like a burn mark or a brand. this is because one of the main points in this au is that the triforce/being chosen is a burden more than anything else. it is unwanted. it is stressful. it often results in painful death. the zelda games occasionally hint at this but they're made for children 7+ so don't go into it. i, however, very much do. the triforce can be considered both a blessing and a curse, as it grants you abilities but also forces you to fulfil a destiny you may never have wanted. yusuf's feelings on it are complicated but he mostly considers it to be a curse. we don't see nicolo's feelings on it directly as the first part is written from yusuf's point of view but i will tell you that he has a complicated relationship with it too. this will be hinted at in part 2 but that is... also complicated bc reasons. this was not a quick side note at all. oops)

- that aside, yusuf knows exactly what the mark means, of course. because when his mother died and his father got weird about training he made it a point to learn as much about all of this stuff to try and figure out how to access the sealing power. it didn't work, but this does mean he knows what it means

- so, he takes nicolo to see his father, because he's not quite sure what else to do. long story short they organise a journey to the lost woods, where the master sword is. i probably won't actually call it the master sword within the fic but i'm referring to it that way here. (for non zelda fans: the master sword is the only weapon that can harm calamity ganon. at least in this au, because technically anything can harm ganon in botw but again i do what i want) the champions go along because i like them.

- another important detail in this is that while the mark of the triforce means nicolo is the one destined to wield the master sword, but that does not automatically make him worthy of it. the master sword stands as a test. if you try to pull it from the stone and you are not worthy, you just straight up die. again with the idea of destiny being a curse i feel like i mention that a lot. (it's a test of courage, see: you have to be willing to try anyway, despite knowing you could die. you must also be like kind and not evil or whatever)

- nicolo's not going to die (yet) but you know. nobody knows that. so understandably it's a little stressful. yusuf maybe tries to talk him out of doing it or something idk yet. perhaps tries to call it off when he sees nicolo in pain. but nicolo does get the sword in the end

- and yusuf has... complicated feelings about this. because you see he has been training for years, and he has achieved nothing, and now nicolo has the master sword. in yusuf's eyes, he is everything he is supposed to be, and yusuf is still a failure. (his father also says something like "finally, we are making progress" because yusuf's father is kind of a jerk)

- he gets a little withdrawn after this but then nicolo comes to find him after he doesn't see him at dinner (with cake. this actually happens on two separate occasions in the fic because i have a lot of thoughts and feelings about nicolo acts of service di genova and food as an expression of love) and they like. talk and stuff

- this is an important stage in their relationship tho because before they have been pretty formal with each other and almost-friends but not quite there and this is what moves them past that stage. yusuf is finally able to actually talk to someone. so is nicolo. i am not describing all of it because i do want to leave some things as a vague surprise but yeah

- so that's how nicolo gets the master sword

[why-is-it-always-autumn]

not to beat a dead horse but something I feel like gets ignored a lot in “Why doesn’t Batman kill the Joker?” arguments is the fact that Batman and Joker don’t live in the real world, they live in the DC Universe, where multiple afterlives canonically exist and coming back from the dead is extremely common.  Killing Joker isn’t permanently stopping him from hurting anyone else, it’s sending him off to guest star in Hellblazer or team up with Etrigan unsupervised or make a deal with Necron and now he’s alive again but he has superpowers, or he’s the new ruler of Hell, or he’s a malevolent ghost and now he’s Deadman’s problem.  At least if Batman sends him to Arkham he’ll get an alert when the guy breaks out and he can make reasonable assumptions about things like “how far could he have gotten?” or “What resources does he have?”  Batman sends the guy to Hell and he could be doing literally anything, no timeline on when he’ll turn up again, no way to keep tabs on him short of calling in favors from the magic crowd.  If Joker escapes and comes back he stays a basically human guy with a knack for chemistry and an immunity to his own concoctions.  If he dies and comes back his abilities could be anything from “ghost that appears in the corner of Bruce’s vision to gradually drive him mad” to “literally exactly the same” to “The new Spectre, for some reason”.  There is no way to know.  The only certainty is that at some point he will come back and hurt more people, and there’s no way Batman doesn’t know that.  It’s not mercy or naivety to keep the extremely dangerous mass murderer somewhere you can keep an eye on him instead of booting him into the unknown and hoping for the best.  This is something that needs to be taken into account.

Do you ever think about how Yoda was telling Anakin “Death is a natural part of life" and was then clutching his chest and dropping his cane as he sensed all of his friends and family dying?

𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲

warning: hair pulling, rough sex, breeding, spanking once.

summary: nothing is better than birthday sex, especially when you're both stupidly in love.

a/n: this is short so please give me feedback. and do y'all want more smut?

after y/n managed to grab the giant cake and smash it on his face, he went to the upstairs bathroom to clean himself up. what he didn't expect was walking to his room to see her laying on his bed, wearing white lingerie that compliments her skin tone oh so well.

forgetting about his own birthday party, he's now thrusting into her as hard as he can. 'use me how you please, i'm yours. you have no limits' she told him which is how they got to this point, he didn't want to go too crazy, but he loved to go hard enough to remind her who she belongs to, even when it's unnecessary.

her face is now pushed down with her hands behind her back as he watches how she takes him so well. the sounds she's making, driving him insane. he pushes himself all the way in, his jaw dropping when she lets out the most angelic sound he's ever heard.

his chest now moving quickly causing him to stop his movements to catch a breath. he's taken by surprise when his slut of a girlfriend starts fucking herself on his cock. he bites his lip to avoid accidentally moaning too loudly.

"that's right baby, you look so sexy- oh fuck just like that," he grits through his teeth. he's been edging himself for the past hour, y/n being the only one having the orgasms.

this doesn't please her so she starts moving faster and being more vocal than usual. "do you like this?" she lifts herself up so she's on her hands and knees as she stays still shaking her ass teasingly making him grunt and smack her ass harshly causing her to whine.

he regains his composure when he pulls her hair and starts viscously thrusting into her. one arm wrapping around her entire body while the other is on her throat.

"i love how well you take me. my pussy will never disappoint. isn't that right princess," he taunts making her nod instantly. her moans increase when she feels herself release for what feels like the millionth time.

"i-i-fuck!" her eyes roll back making him slap her cheek a few times. "open your eyes baby, tell me what you want." her struggle to keep her eyes open is big but she manages to open them.

he pulls her more back, his chest now touching her back making her whine at the amount of his skin she is currently feeling. "c'mon love, what do you want?" he groans, getting closer and closer to releasing himself and this time he doesn't want to edge himself. he desperately needs his release.

"y-your cum. i wa-want your cum," she manages to let out and he smiles at her request. "where do you want it baby?" he's teasing and she knows it. he reaches down and starts rubbing her clit.

"inside me," she knows what she's risking, but she needs it. he snaps out of his dominant role and looks at her worriedly. "inside you? w-what about-"

"i don't fucking care, cum inside me. i love you," she moans as her legs start to weaken.

he speeds up his thrusts if that's even possible at this point, his dying wish was to hear those words fall out of her mouth. this is their first time having sex without a condom and they wouldn't change it for the world.

"i fucking love you y/n," he moans loudly, his eyes rolling back as his cock twitches multiple times before he shoots himself deep inside her, his mind going feral at the way she is pulsating around him.

he lets go of her and she collapses on the bed. he smiles and pulls out of her.

happy birthday to me he thinks to himself.

[belovedyandere]

Nerdy!yan who doesn't even know why reader talks to them even if its just to get them to do your homework. Acts as if he doesn't get rewarded by getting sucked off by reader everyday after they finish the homework. Not that they needed reader to go through all that troule for them, all he needed was those few second exchanges asking him to do the work is already enough interaction to get off to for a week.

cw. sexual themes, oral, overstimulation, unsolicited photos, yandere themes

your sweet and shy nerdy yandere, such a huge help when it comes to your studies. ever since you first spoke to the quiet boy, your academics have risen greatly. noticing the change, you decided to stay within reach of him. never too close, never too far, just enough to be friendly and slightly touchy with him. but it didn’t matter where you drew the line, it had already been crossed the moment you laid your eyes on him. but don’t worry too much, he’s not as hardcore as the others. but do expect a few photos being taken of you, of every angle. he’s quite docile, content with your daily study sessions together. it’s a stress reliever of sorts. though he is growing slightly worried of when the both of you graduate and what’s to come.

he’s favoured by the teachers for his cooperating nature, in each of his classes he sits at the very top. this is very helpful when it comes to pairings and group assignments, the teachers somehow always putting you both together each time. though whenever the two of you interact, he grows embarrassed and shy, it doesn’t help when you become overlay friendly and physical with him. why bother becoming close with you? you’re both different, he should just stick to studies, stick to his normalcy. but watching you become enthusiastic by his presence does wash away his nerves. although those same nerves come back, flushing his whole body. he feels extra nervous today, today he’s invited you over to his place…he wonders if you’ll do it again. his pants grow tight whenever he thinks about it.

he was teaching you a new topic, this one was going to the half yearly exams so you had to stay focus. but you felt the need to thank him this time, he was so helpful that you had to give him a reward. in the midst of him explaining the formula to you, you had dropped to your knees and had him in your mouth so quick he didn’t know how to react. he would have never imagined this to have happened. he never imagined you would initiate something like this. to him especially. he knew you were using him, but to give him something like this. to have your warm lips that he took photos of take his member so eagerly, to have your pretty innocent eyes stare up at him as you sucked him even harder. this was his first time, he was a sensitive fellow so it led him going into overdrive. he attempted to stop you, speaking incoherent sentences that were filled with stutters, cut off by whimpers and moans, but you insisted he deserved this. surprisingly enough, he had lasted a while before succumbing to an orgasm in your mouth. but he was so sweet to clean you up right after, though there was a silence from him for a few minutes afterwards. you felt guilty, but when you peered closer to apologise, you noticed his face all red and sweaty, you glanced down to see him still lively. but, regaining a semblance of calmness, he continued the study session without mentioning it. his whole perspective of you changed, not in a horrible way, he was in awe. you showed him a new feeling that he had never truly experienced before.

each session after that, you did the same thing, each time he tried to refuse with weak attempts. it seems he has been intoxicated by those sensations. don’t get him wrong, he enjoys just speaking to you, but now you’ve gotten him addicted. beforehand he was satisfied for the week after interacting with you, now it had changed. now he looks forward to seeing you on your knees, keeping your eyes trained on him, having him become a moaning mess as you suck him dry. sometimes you keep going even if he’s ejaculated a few times, his sensitivity increases more than the last. he’s still stuck on level 1 though, so don’t go pushing him to grow more physically, his sensitive body may not be prepared, nor his heart.

Soul Animal Obey Me AU

MC arrives in the Devildom but it's without their animal, the animal that represents their soulmate. Diavolo quickly makes it right, but the animal in question is a bit shocking.

Lucifer

when you race to the trailer with your soul animal, he's beyond shocked to see the beautiful black mustang that comes out. its eyes are red and one look tells Lucifer that it's a piece of himself.

he knows that must mean the sweet and hard headed horse he's had for the last -goodness he's lost track of the years-. but it doesn't matter, that's you, your soul animal as much as its his.

Lucifer takes it upon himself to escort you and your steed to the stables. he doesn't even get all of the way there before your horse snorts and calls out, the returning sound one he knows well. you're both left still as he gets out of your grip and somehow his beautiful ride had escaped it's stall.

you both end up having to corral them into a pasture together since they refuse to move apart.

"would you like to talk? say, at a cafe, parhaps? i know a good one nearby." yeah . . . that sounds like a good idea, you apparently have a lot to discuss.

Mammon

the dog that tackles you and you hug tight right back feels oddly familiar. he's not sure what's going on until you tell them that it's a golden retriever even though its coat is pure white. and oddly enough, it's not because it's an albino, its eyes are deep blue in color.

mammon's breath catches and he finds himself locking eyes with the dog, who quickly gets excited and tries to drag you into the house, barking.

he's running off to his room, hoping he's not wrong, to find his own dog barking and whining on the other side of the door. the minute he opens it, it takes off and he's running to find you stand there shell shocked as the two fall together, yipping and rubbing on each other.

good luck separating them. ever. the only difference between Mammon and doggo mammon is that the dog doesn't have any reservations or tsundere tendencies (most of the time)

Leviathan

Levi really couldn't care less about this human, much less a human normie. but he needs you to get a pact with Mammon so he can have his money back.

but he's still beyond shocked when he finds you late to your night meet up in the kitchen! he needed you, but checking his phone, you never even saw his texts! stupid human normie, making him go find you- are in the fucking pool?

who goes to the pool this late- oh, didn't lucifer say your soul animal was a sea animal? yeah, something about not having a proper tank yet in your room so the pool had been temporarily renovated for it. you're probably visiting it. he gets that, his animal is . . . a . . .

Levi's brain blue screens as he sees you in a swimsuit playing with an octopus, grinning wide as it clings to you.

once he reboots he flails and turns bright red, surprising you, but he found himself grabbing you, octopus still on your arm, to drag you to his room where he lets you see the small octopus in his tank playing with Henry. both end up in his tank and he's just too shocked to say much.

at least until you admit to the clue Lucifer gave you about Mammon's credit card, then its back on the mission!

. . . The embarrassing stuff can come later.

Satan

a cat? your soul animal is a cat? wonderful! he's overjoyed and makes sure hes there when you're called down to come get it.

he was not expecting the sheer size of it, thats no house cat, its a wild cat.

not only that, but the hissing and angry blond thing that shot out at you, curled up against you and hissed at the very large carrier, green eyes furious. well it shocked him.

you're trying to calm it and he watches, unmoving as your pets and soft words quickly calm its rage- no, its pure wrath.

the bobcat calms under your touch and he finally regains his composure when it growls at Lucifer when he came close. one glance at its eyes as he approaches tells Satan all he needs to know.

he doesn't bother offering it his hand, only smirks at you and asks if you think your bobcat would like to meet his, leaving you spluttering at the meaning behind the words.

once the pair of cats meet, a bit after you'd recovered from the shock, they get along swimmingly and the blonde soul cat of him lays as yours starts grooming him, listening to a recording of an audiobook Satan played.

after they're settled down in their room, he decides its only appropriate to take you out to a cat cafe to talk.

Asmodeus

the little thing in the carrier Lucifer has in whining so sadly, Asmo feels sad hearing it. you rush over and quickly take it, opening the cage and taking out the upset little fox inside.

Asmo's shocked but is the fastest to recover after seeing what was clearly a piece of himself in a different form. he simply watches at first though.

he watches you comfort it from it's traumatic journey to you from the human realm and your'e calling Lucifer a meanie for being so uncaring about its comfort.

hes very happy you treat this adorable fox so well, and a few questiosn about him tells Asmo all he needs to know. he invites you to his room later to get some new ribbon to dress your fox up in and you accept the offer.

you have no idea that his own fox is in his room until the foxes are chittering and playing together and he's standing at your back, purring in your ear an apology and an 'oh, did i not mention that?'

he won't do anything you're not comfortable with but you don't leave his room for a while as you, at the very least, talk about your pets and how you've spent years pampering them.

Beelzebub

he's glad you've gotten your soul animal, he'd be super upset if he ever had to be without his. it's a super sweet dog but its been sad since belphie left, so it tends to stick around their room and you don't go in their room.

you think its nice his soul animal cares about his twin as much as it cares about him, and you're glad Beel's decided to wait with you for it to come.

Beel's eating when you gasp and nearly chokes on his food when he spots the large dog coming around the corner.

he watches as you hug and pet the happy big absolutely giant dog and Diavolo, who'd been holding its leash, asks what it is.

you say its a belgian malenois, and he's coughing again. you look worried but he's blushing as he gives you a little grin and admits that he can sense and smell you your soul animal is actually a piece of him and that his dog looks a lot like you.

you don't quite believe him until he accidentally destorys a wall in your room and you end up in his, at which pint your dogs are best friends and the dog version of him is sharing its food with the dog version of you.

Beel's overjoyed when you start to get closer as a result. he finds that he doesn't mind sharing his food with you too after getting to know you.

he's beyond horrified when his dog is whining and obviously hurting before going limp, just barely not dead. hes far more shocked and angry when he finds Belphie in the house and dragging your almost-corpse behind him, grinning all the while.

Belphegor

Belphie's cat is the only one who knew where Lucifer had trapped him.

Lucifer had tried three times to kick the cat out and change the barriers to stop it, either trapping it in with Belphie or keeping it our entirely, but every time it managed to get past them. so instead Lucifer let it be.

belphie was glad, beel would help him, his other brothers probably would, but that was if any of them knew he was there. only his cat knew he was there.

he was glad though, his cat was the one who was always there for him.

he was beyond shocked though to wake up one day, bored, to hear purring, and he was even mroe shocked to find a cat with purple purple, the tips of its long fur tinged in white, laying with his cat and purring at it.

there was no dman way! its couldn't be! he was going to kick the cat out, refusing to beleive it, but his cat stopped him. Belphie was shocked, his cat had never hissed at him or been angry with him before! but now it was, it was angry and protecting this- this other cat.

after that, no matter how much it hurt him or how upset it made him cat, he ignored the cat.

eventually though, the new human found their way to him, and he decided to use that to his advantage. he didn't care, but you clearly cared about helping him, so he convinced you to help him.

he honestly never believed you'd be able to do it, but in the end he woke up and found you there, the door open, and he opened his arms. you went in for a hug, just like he knew you would.

he's whispering in your ear as you struggle to breath when a soft thump and painfully weak meow drags his attention to the cat that had fallen off his bed. his cat. the cat . . . that looked like you, as much as the other cat looked like . . . him.

human- humans killed lilith, he hated them and he wanted you dead . . . but that was his cat unable to breathe and he was watching it die. he was killing it himself- Belphie let go and scrambled back from you in a panic.

the reality of everything he'd been denying finally set in, and tears fell from his cheeks as he watched and didn't even turn when he heard steps and wings ruffling as they rushed up the stairs. he hears Lucifer in the doorway behind him but didn't move. couldn't move.

"I killed my soulmate." he breathed before breaking down and sobbing, clawing at his carpet. Lilith would hate him for this, he just knew it.

and then you melt away into dust and he can't breathe, but a meow and cat in the form of himself grabs his attention and he follows it as it leads him out, Lucifer at his back, until it leads him to a room with Barbatos, you, and his cat.

he'll never hurt you again, he'll never let anything hurt you again, just please don't hate him.

the fact that you forgave him and loved him despite what he did to you is something he'll never take for granted.

Part 2 with the Datables

[sunshine-scented]

Alright, so! You could skip this if you want, but I was wondering if you could do hanahaki hcs for SWK, MK and Macaque's S/O? (Seperately)

How would they react to them suddenly growing a bit more distant? Looking a bit more sickly? Coughing a lot more often? How long until they notice that something was wrong? Do they find out before it's too late? I'm a really big sucker for angst i'm sorry lmao-

A pleasure for heartbreak, why of course I would do this ♡

I didn't make them dating cause that didn't match the real AU of hanahaki and I'd like this to be realistic as possible, I apologize in advance for the inconvenience

❀ On my last breath, you won't be there for me ❀

: Hanahaki disease AU! (If the person you love doesn't feel the same way for you, then your lungs starts to fill up with their favorite flower until you suffocate)

: Sun Wukong, Macaque, MK x gn!reader

: Angst, no comfort, mentions of suicide, gore, mentions of blood, self insults, body horror, and explicit descriptions of torturous experiences! Read with caution!!

Sun Wukong

Once you confessed your love to him, it was really nerve wracking

Was not subtle at all that he didn't feel the same way and failed so bad to make it seem like it was no big deal so he ended up running away

Ever since then, he's ignored you entirely, and everytime you were called onto the conversation he would excuse himself out or just not speak up at all

But when you tried to confront him about it, he pretended that nothing was wrong, he's not at fault, you are, dummy!

However, if the way he was pretending that you didn't exist was hurting enough, you started to feel a pang on your chest

What's this? You've never felt this way before

It all started as a small come and go ache, then it got worse with heavy coughs so loud that it sounds like your coughing your own stomach out

Even with your pitiful situation, he never bat an eye

It's like you don't exist in his eyes

Still, that didn't help your coughs, so loud and violent, eventually this went on for five whole minutes of non stop coughing, with a worried Mei and Pigsy on your sides while MK, Sandy and Tang were panicking

Your throat was burning, your head was spinning, it felt suffocating as you failed to regain air

Until you coughed a small baby peach colored flower, covered on your own blood from your mouth

This obviously caught the attention of everyone, but this was all new to them, not even Tang knew what's going on

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months

The baby flowers grew bigger in size and in quantity, soon, you began coughing out fully grown flowers in pairs of two or three

The feeling was torture, you felt like throwing up everytime you coughed one out, it was burning and it was squeezing your stomach while your throat tastes like the metallic blood from your lungs

You just wanted to end it all

So you went up to the kitchen cabinet and grabbed the closest thing next to you, the kitchen knife

Slowly, you raised it up to your chest ready to take the plunge, but you stopped

Did you really want this?

You started to think of the people who were there for you through your entire life

The fun memories you had

The laughs, the victories, the losses, you loved them all

MK, Mei, Pigsy, Tang, Sandy, Wukong

Wukong..

No, he didn't care

He never did

And he never will

What's the use of living if all you feel right now is misery?

What's the use of living if nothing matters to you anymore?

Without hesitation, you once more lifted the knife

And shoved it inside your chest

The door was clicking open, someone was here to help!

But they were too late

Your vision was blurry, everything was fading

Only a faint scream of agony and horror was heard, hurried footsteps banged through the floor as you felt a hand cup your cheek

"No...no..! (Name)! Please! Don't leave yet!" "Kid! Wake up!" "(Name)! Hang in there!" "Oh my god, (Name)!"

"(Name)...I'm so sorry"

Everything faded to black, you were gone, and it was all your fault

Wukong held your lip body close to his, the room felt colder as Mei's loud cries of agony and MK sniffing the tears away all fell mute on his ears

He didn't mean to do this

He pushed you away cause of his selfishness

He loved you, he always had

It's was because you were mortal and he wasn't, the thought of losing another person he loved lead him to reject you

It was all his fault

"YOU!" Pigsy's scream echoed on the dead room's walls, he stormed his way to the monkey who was still staring your limp, cold body

"YOU KNEW DIDN'T YOU?! THATS WHY YOU IGNORED ALL OF US WHEN WE ASKED YOU ABOUT THEIR HEALTH!"

He gripped the monkey's scarf to force him to stare back at him, but all Wukong did was stay silent and looked at the ground

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO HELP THEM EITHER, INSTEAD, YOU PRETENDED THAT THEY DIDNT FUCKING EXIST"

"How could you do this to us! We trusted you!" Tang joined in the argument, his fists clenched in grief

"If you weren't so SELFISH, THEY WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN WITH US!" Mei's voice cracked as her voice got louder and louder, full of anger

The only silent one was Sandy, trying to calm himself down and reassuring him that it's no one's fault, but it's so hard knowing that no, it is someone's fault

It's all his fault

"Monkey king.." MK's soft voice caught his attention as he hesitantly looked over at him, just to be met with betrayal filled eyes "What have you done"

Nothing will be the same, not without you

And it's all his fault

Six eared Macaque

What were thinking

You knew this was never gonna do you any good

Why are you so naive

Thoughts and regrets overflowed your mind, drowning in grief

Why did you think that you could change anything?

He looked at you with such disgust, eyebrows furrowed and an unreadable expression on his face

His silence haunted you, it always had, but this was a more deadly, suffocating silence

It's Macaque for crying out loud! Did you really think he'd be so willing to love you back? What kind of self centered naive bastard do you think you are?

"Shut up..SHUT UP!"

No matter how loud you screamed, the thoughts would never cease their mockery

Thick tears flowed on your cheeks like a never ending river of regrets, you hiccuped and wheezed to get air from crying to hard

Wheezed turned to coughing, until you were choking on your own tears

You held a hand to cover your mouth to silence your coughs, but it just seemed to never stop

Your chest started to ache, as if it was being squeezed like a wet towel filled with nails

Gripping your chest, you bent your back in agony as you coughs got harder and harder

It was burning

Something was climbing up your throat, and you wanted it out immediately

As you lifted out you hand, a single lavender stem was present on your hand

What the hell? When did that get there

But before you could think, another coughing fit started

You quickly stood up and rushed straight to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water, draining it down your throat

It soothed your mind a bit, the faint taste of blood and snot was slowly fading, but it felt like your lungs were beating

You could feel reverberating through your chest, what the hell was going on?!

The next day, you weren't any better

You isolated yourself from the outside, stopped talking to your friends to stop them from worrying about you

They didn't need you anyways

What? No! They're you're friends! Of course they're gonna need you!

But they're just being nice and faking it, Macaque was different cause he's honest, they all hate you

You gripped your hair in annoyance, then you started to cough again and again

The cycled continue, with the never ending thoughts and ever growing lavender flowers, it was pure agony

Later, you found out that this is a rare disease from your doctor

The only cure was to make the other person love you back, but that was impossible

Filled with so much despair, you yourself coughing once more

You needed a breather, you needed this to stop

Taking a stroll on the middle of the night with the cool breeze hitting your face distracting you from your thoughts, it worked for a while

But you started to take an alternative route on where you usually walk

Soon, you notice yourself walk towards the very same dark mountain, it's clouds preventing any light to come through

"I'm here again.." you whispered to yourself, walking towards the end on the cliff, you stared at the distance of mist and fog

A temporary moment of solitude, loneliness filling up your senses once more

"What do you think you're doing here?"

A voice called behind you, but you didn't have to turn your back to recognize the voice you loved so, so much

Never taking your eyes of on the distance, you explained to him why you're here "I just needed a breather, is all"

He raised a brow, not bothering to move from his spot "And you chose here?"

Sighing, you shrugged your shoulders "Old habits die hard"

Silence enveloped the two souls who will never meet "What's your actual reason here" his voice growing sharper

Its really true then, he really doesn't care about you

You gave up, you didn't care either, nothing you did even matters anyways

"I'm in pain, Macaque" your voice a whisper "Coughing out your flowers, blood all over my hands everytime I spit one out, it's agonizing really"

You explained it so casually which made him even more suspicious of you "what do you mean by "My flowers"?"

"Lavenders" you answered "Remember when we talked about our interests so casually? I always remember what you tell me, I always remember the—"

"I told you, I don't feel the same"

You bit your lip "...Can't you just try?"

"That's impossible, we both know that" he sighed in annoyance, clearly indicating that you're wasting his time

You were right, it really was impossible to help you

Then again, why are you living anyways? Why are you still breathing? Do you even know your purpose?

"Then kill me"

Macaque's eyes shot wide open in shock "What?"

"If you really can't help me, then please" you turned around to face him, his glowing yellow eyes met your dull, dead and broken ones "End it all"

Taking a step back, he looked at you in disbelief "You're crazy, the hell do you mean—"

"Every day is torture for me, my lungs hurt, my head is spinning, I want to end it a—" coughs and wheezes stopped your sentences as you bent your body in pain, your coughs sounded dry like your voice sound strained and tired

Macaque could only stare in horror, you weren't lying then, you coughed and choked until three stems flowed out of your soaked blood dripping hands, but you still continued to cough

He started to unconsciously walk towards you and once he was close enough, you grabbed his clothes "Kill me, please"

You begged him at this point, every part of your body hurt, he doesn't love you, you're just going to suffer

Macaque only stared at you with a conflicted expression, his hands gripping into fists

"I'm sorry"

He grew a claw made of shadow and pierced your body as you screamed in agony

Your grip on his clothes started to loosen as your eyes grew droopy and tired

Your head fell on his legs leaning on him once more "Thank you..." A faint, barely even audible whisper was heard as you left him once more

Now, he really was alone

Love is a curse

MK

"I'm sorry, (Name) but I only see you as a friend" MK rubbed his neck as you could feel your heart break into a thousand pieces

But you quickly covered it up "Oh! Haha,, sorry for taking your time then!" You bowed your head and ran off before he could say anything

You tried to stay normal, you really did, but every time you saw his adorable face, your heart just shatters into a million pieces all over again

But you hid everything away, pretending you're alright. laughed at the same jokes, played with the same games, slept in the same sleepovers

That's what friends do

You didn't want to shoo him away, losing him means losing everything from you, he just means that much to that tiny heart laying on your chest

But everyday hurt more, knowing that he will never be yours

He will never hold your hand, he will never kiss your lips

He will never love you back

Stings and pangs randomly attacked your chest, it felt like it was being crushed slowly and slowly, coughs started to be normal for you as well

But you shrugged it aside, it might be the heartbreak

It'll grow off

Either way, you still hung out with him and his friends

Smiling, laughing, pretending

It hurts

So, so much

Why are you doing so much for him

Why are you giving so much effoet

He's never gonna love you, just accept it

How selfish can you be

"Hey, (Name)? You okay there?" Mei called out to you with concern all over her features

Everyone looked at you as well, all sharing the same look, MK was the most worried "Yeah, you've kinda just been staring off at the distance, something bothering you?"

There was that face again, the one you loved so so much

His hair, his eyes, gosh, you just wanted to kiss his cheeks

But you couldnt

You're not allowed to

"I'm fine really, I think I just need some air" you chuckled, feigning happiness once more as you excused yourself out of the group

Walking towards your home was torture, your coughs got longer, you even stated go taste blood

Whatever was happening to you, you didn't like it

You needed water, that's all you need

When you finally reached home, locking the door behind you

Your knees felt weak, as you fell to the ground

Coughing, wheezing, choking, everything was spinning

You started to vomit

Blood, spit,, flowers

What's going on?!

You tried to crawl to the kitchen, but your muscles felt weak, and you just fell down laying on the floor

Clutching your legs closer to your chest, you tried to stop whatever was happening to you

Until something poked your chest

Again

Again

And again

A vine started to rip through your skin, you screamed in agony as it continues to sprout and grow all over your skin

The thorns pierced your skin, roses decorated their every vine, blood was everywhere even in the vines

Your throat hurt, your chest hurt, everything hurt

It's growing everywhere

The vines started to grow on your mouth leaving it gaping wide open as more roses bloomed in your blood

You felt weak as the vines grew on your body, poked and pierced every crevice of skin it lays contact to

Your vision faded, it's finally over

You can finally rest and sleep in oesce

"(Name)? Are you there?" MK's voice called out at the door, but no body answered

"Maybe they're out on a walk?" Mei chimed in but MK was still intent in finding you

Finding the spare key hidden under the rug, he slowly opened the door

But it stopped half way

"A vine? What's that doing here" Mei asked in concern as MK shrugged his shoulders

But when they fully opened the door

They're faces went pale

There you were, laying dead in a puddle of fresh blood as beautiful long vines of thorny roses spilled and hanged on your walls, your couch

Your body

"(NAME)!" They both cried out in panic

Mei opened her phone to call an ambulance and inform Pigsy, while MK ran towards your body

A big beautiful crimson colored rose sat perfectly on your mouth as your eyes we're closed, blood dripped and trickled down your lips, you skin was pale and your temperature was frozen cold

He was devastated

When Monkey King explained the Hanahaki disease to him, his whole body just shut down

"I.... I did this.. " he gripped his hair "I killed (Name).. " he dropped to his knees

And out the most loudest scream

Full of agony, grief, anger

It was all his fault

All. His. Fault

This is by far my favourite one ever, I really enjoyed this!!

[pinkanonwrites]

Hiii! Can I request for s/o asking Jade, Floyd, Malleus, Leona, Jack, Jamil and Trey (pls let me know if I’m asking too much, I can resend with less characters hehe) to bend down then give them a surprise kiss (can be on the forehead, check or lips) and btw I love your writing! 💕(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

No problem at all! 7 is the limit for Twisted Wonderland or Obey Me characters in a single post, so you're right on the money! And thank you, you're so sweet! <3

When you ask him to stoop down a bit, he's confused but he does it without a question. He isn't expecting you to press a kiss to his cheek though! Before you even pull away you can already feel him smiling. Trey isn't really the type to get flustered, but as you pull away you can see the barest beginnings of a tiny blush on the rise of his cheeks as he smiles down at you.

"Was that supposed to be your way of tricking me? Well, I definitely wasn't expecting it. But I should probably return the favor."

"Heh. You call that a kiss? Get down here."

You actually asked Leona to lean up from his position sprawled across the hot Botanical Garden tile, only to press a soft kiss to the center of his forehead. He looks shocked for a split second before his expression morphs into a sly, conniving little grin as he grabs you around the middle and drags you onto the floor to smooch you breathless.

As soon as your lips make contact with the tip of his nose, you can hear the fwip-fwip-fwip of his tail wagging away behind him. He'll shoot back up to his full height quickly, his expression caught somewhere between embarrassed and angry. He's not really upset though, he's just caught off guard that you flustered him so easily.

"D-Don't surprise me like that! You shouldn't be trying to sneak-attack a predator, anyway!" His tail is still wagging the entire time.

As you move to press a kiss to Jade's nose his hand comes up to grab your chin and tilt it downwards, forcing you to brush your lips to his. He smiles a small, contented smirk as you pull away, running the pad of his thumb over your lower lip as you go. The as his hand retreats he takes a moment to tap you gently on the tip of your nose in a playful fashion.

"Nice try." He coos. "But it'll take a little more than that to catch me off guard."

"Nooooo, you gotta give me another one! That one doesn't count, get back over here Shrimpy!"

You try to pull away after leaving a gentle kiss square in the middle of his forehead but Floyd is already grabbing for the sleeves of your outfit and hauling you back in, wrapping his arms tight around you as he peppers your face with kisses and nibbles.

"C'mon! Gimme a real one! C'mon c'mon c'mon!"

"I'm trying to work, you know. I won't be distracted that easily."

Jamil is glad that his skin is dark enough that you're unable to see him blush, but you may still be able to feel the heat rising to his cheek underneath your lips. He does his best to keep his composure though, even if you're making it incredibly difficult for him to get anything done. It'll only take another kiss or two for you to have him fully and thoroughly distracted.

"Yes, what do you need- ah?"

He's completely caught off guard when you press a kiss to his cheek instead of whatever he was expecting. Maybe he though you were going to whisper something in his ear? Either way, he bluescreens for just a moment before regaining his thought processes and giving you a small, pleased smile.

"Ever full of surprises, aren't you, Child of Man? Worry not, I find it endlessly charming.~"

Thinking about the scene in which Marrow confronts Winter about activating the bomb while JOYR is still in side the whale, and Winter tells him that they have to do it, that she warned them and that they couldn't wait any longer to kill that thing. Then Marrow brings Weiss up, and while he couldn't see her face, Winter's tough persona breaks, and we see that she is struggling just as much as he does. That she hates all of this, that she doesn't want to do this to JOYR, that she doesn't want to have to tell her sister that her friends are gone, and much less, imagine what she would do if it was Weiss inside that thing. However, Winter takes a deep breath, regains her composure, and tells Marrow that yes, because that's her duty.

Because that's what Winter did. She put her duty, the important thing, before anything else, regardless of how she felt about it. No matter how much it hurt her, she put it before her own wants, her own needs and even her own life. That's what she did.

Except in the finale.

Here, Winter has already defected. She has defeated Ironwood and now that Penny's gone, she is also the Winter Maiden. And Winter is going to fight Cinder and get the relics back.

And Winter actually does quite good. She does manage to get the Staff of Creation; however, Cinder lands a hit on her, which causes the Staff to fall from her hands.

She could have retrieved it, and she was going to, but then, to keep her away from it and herself and the Lamp, Cinder does her favorite move: attempting against Weiss' life.

And it works. When she sees Cinder targeting Weiss, Winter doesn't think twice: she forgets about the Staff, and desperately tries to get there as soon as possible to save her.

However, she's not fast enough. Winter doesn't make it, and, as far as she's aware, she's just had to see her sister die in front of her eyes because she wasn't fast enough to catch her.

We all know what happens after this.

This was the one time—the one fucking time—Winter chose her own wants (saving Weiss) instead of her duty (retrieving the staff before Cinder could).

She didn't get the relics. And she didn't save Weiss. And then she couldn't kill Cinder in revenge, either. Damn, she couldn't even save Jaune, and now she has to tell his team who've already lost a teammate and other friends that he's gone now.

This was the one time Winter chose what was important to her—not to Ironwood, not to Atlas, not to the rest of the world, to her, her little sister, the person she clearly loves the most in the world—and she lost her anyway. She lost everything.

skz when y/n kisses them in an argument

pairing: stray kids x reader

genre: fluff

warnings: descriptions and mentions of kissing, if that makes you uncomfortable please do not proceed to read.

word count: 2387

author's note: hello my darlings <3 thank you so so so much for being so patient with me yet again, i know i have absolutely no posting schedule :/

-i have intended for the "arguments" here to be just misunderstandings or bad days, because idealistically this isn't how i believe you should be solving serious issues.

-i wrote this over the span of three days during study breaks, i'm still v v caught up in exam prep so please excuse my errors if i've made any :D

-as always, i hope you enjoy reading! take good care of yourself y/n, i'm cheering for you!

chan

-look, he's not usually the type of guy who'd let something as ❛stupid❜ [i hope u read that in his voice] as an argument let him get carried away enough to say some dumb shit he probably doesn't mean.

-but it was a really bad day and his head's in too many places, too many things clouding his head and he cannot focus, so he ends up saying something he regrets, but when he regains focus and pays attention to what he said, you're already walking away from him.

-its not that you don't want to get this argument over with, its just that right now is not the time, you can clearly see he has too much going on and he needs to think properly before he talks to you.

-he's following you though, trying to tell you he didn't mean what he said and "oh wow i should really start paying more attention to what i say" and "oh god this was so dumb of me" and now he's overthinking.

-you don't really see any other way to get him to stop talking for a second, so you cup his face and plant a big fat kiss on his lips.

-he's shocked, eyes wide, but he soon relaxes, and right before you know it he's holding onto you so tight, refusing to let you go.

-"i really hope you know i didn't mean that, really had no clue what i was saying" still a little upset, gives you a sad smile :( [chris and a sad little smile is giving me major heartache i will never type this sentence out again]

-"everyone has bad days, i know to not take it to heart, don't beat yourself up,"

-no more work for him tonight, spends the rest of the day with you doing whatever you want to do, giving you lots and lots of kisses throughout, making sure to prove just how sorry he is for all his harsh words

-chrispy my precious he has every little bit of my whole heart i will say this again & again.

-atp this blog is just me tryna find excuses to mention how much i love chan and everything he does, down bad fr.

minho

-it was a stupid argument, really.

-but it was definitely starting to get heated.

-minho is such an amazing person, but his tendency to get possessive really gets to you sometimes.

-you love him; so much, and when he complains to you about how "you're being affectionate with so & so" it only gets to you because you feel like you haven't done a good enough job with showing him just how much you love him.

-its probably not the best idea to shut him up with so much so a kiss, especially when he's "getting his point across because no you are not listening to him y/n", but you shall do exactly that.

-you're on the kitchen counter and he's standing in front of you, so tug him down to you by the end of his shirt and kiss him.

-it takes a second to register, but the moment he starts to feel himself lose control and kiss you back; he's pulling away and staring down at you trying to catch his breath.

-"you should not cut people off when they're talking, where are your manners y/n?"

-& before you could process his words he's capturing your mouth with his again, kissing you longer and harder this time, biting down on your lip as his anger vanishes. [a man who always wants the last word]

-a good 20 minutes later does he finally pull away, letting you reassure him by telling him you love him, and only him.

changbin

-he's a sucker for your lips.

-even if you give him a peck while he's sleeping, it is enough to wake him up and make him ask for a proper kiss.

-so you get the memo, he's probably going to give you a good reaction.

-this wasn't even an argument, it was just a shitty day for the both of you and trying to talk to the other person to confide in them all the while their emotions are still lingering; only resulted in both your emotions letting out in a wrong way.

-you're both prideful, but not enough to let it cloud your judgement so you're soon to realise this was wrong, and frankly not going anywhere.

-he's starting to talk again, to apologise this time, but you don't get to hear the rest of it when you cup his face and smash your lips against his.

-let's out a shocked little "oh" against your mouth but nonetheless melts into your embrace.

-very touchy and grabby now, hands all over any body part in his reach, your shoulders, arms, waist, thighs, and you can feel his satisfaction with how this turned out with the way his kisses start to intensify.

-you have to really pull away and place a hand between you to stop him from kissing you again, offering to heat up some dinner so you guys can eat properly without screaming at each other this time [how dare y/n deny him a kiss]

-"only if you give me one more kiss here" points to his nose :(

-"and here" forehead this time

-"okay okay last one, on my lips again" makes kissing sounds

hyunjin

-now *stretches and cracks knuckles*

-unlike chan, someone does have an attitude.

-the argument couldn't have been dumber, but homeboy is petty and will roll his eyes so hard every time you tell him he's wrong he's probably seeing his brain back there.

[so dramatic, we love to see]

-you're both just really throwing petty remarks at each other at this point, but you're the first to realise this is going nowhere and you need to apologise in a mature way.

-he's standing in front of you, pacing back and forth and making these extravagant hand gestures to accompany his elaborate speech on how wrong your attitude is right now.

-so you intertwine one hand with this and wrap the other around his waist to pull him to you.

-when you kiss him he gasps so loud and tries to pull away in shock, but you tighten your grip on him and slowly put your hand inside his shirt, rubbing little circles on his back to encourage him to calm down.

-is a little hesitant to kiss you back but you can easily feel his attitude start to lose away the longer he kisses you, his mouth against yours soft and delicate now, contrary to all his actions before.

-once you're sure he's calm you slowly pull away, reaching upto push his hair behind his ears. you bring your hands upto his face and ease the wrinkles formed from the tension resting there.

-"let's talk properly, yeah?"

-"one more kiss and we'll do just that,"

jisung

-he says the first thing that pops in his head and he might unintentionally get really mean sometimes, but you already know he has no filter when he's annoyed, so you make sure to not take his words to heart.

-you're just trying to end the conversation, very well aware this is becoming pointless, but its really starting to tick you off how he's huffing and puffing, mumbling under his breath, doing everything but listening to what you have to say.

-you decide you've had enough of his attitude and this argument, so you lean down to his face and give him a kiss.

-did i mention he is an absolute sucker for kisses? anytime, anywhere, pretty boy just wants a kiss :(

-takes a solid minute to process the moment so he doesn't really respond to the kiss; but hey he's finally not talking, so you back off and leave the room.

-afterwards he's all red ears; pink cheeks; big round eyes & hands by his sides, doesn't know what to do at all.

-mindlessly follows behind you and turns you to face him, argument long forgotten by now.

-"o-one more kiss, please? i mean only if you want ahahha you don't have to, i'm sorry i was being mean i don't want you to be mad at me i love you darling :("

-very hesitant because he knows he was being a little meanie back then, but knows its best to apologise right now than to delay it and possibly piss you off and spew another argument.

-"you silly boy, come here,"

-will not let you go the moment you do kiss him; you can breathe sometime later you're supposed to be kissing him rn

felix

-he is very very calm in an argument; i cannot peg him for the sort who would raise his voice or talk over you, so really, an argument with him is just like having a conversation.

-but of course, everyone has bad days. on bad days, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, sometimes he tends to lose his cool too.

-you're sitting across from one another on the dinner table, and this conversation is absolutely going nowhere because he's not letting you speak and is only jumping to his own conclusions.

-you reach out for his hand that's sitting on top of the table and tug him closer to you, meeting his lips halfway.

-no matter how pissed he is, there's no way he's denying a kiss.

"kisses make everything better" in his own words :(

-besides, this is just an argument. a stupid little argument, no way its going to hamper your relationship.

-he has faith in you guys, he knows this is going to be over before you know it; so really, a kiss sounds very nice right now.

-he's definitely smiling against your lips as you're kissing,,

-he slowly starts rubbing small circles on the back of your hand with his thumb as he starts to forget about the argument more and more.

-"i needed that, i was starting to lose control of my thoughts right there," he is the bestest boy to ever exist i will scream it to the world lix. best. boy. nobody's got anything on my precious :(((

-"do you wanna go on a date? i still feel bad for being mean to you," still a little shy and refuses to look you in the eye properly until he knows for sure you've forgiven him.

-one more kiss for lix so he knows the only emotion you feel is adoration for him :(

seungmin

-he's really always such a sweetheart, but the moment he's pissed, a switch flips; he is not ready to let go of the situation or how he feels about it until he's ready.

-he's sitting on your guys' bed, still grumpy over the argument, and you're trying to make him atleast acknowledge what you're saying because his blank expression is really giving away nothing.

-you jump to your very last resort and straddle him, grabbing his face and kissing him, pecking his lips over and over. you then move over to the rest of his face, placing gentle pecks in hopes for him to atleast crack a smile.

-instead of smiling like you'd hoped, he scolds you even more for kissing him out of nowhere.

-"you weren't even looking my way and i didn't know if you were listening to what i was saying,"

-"so you'll kiss me? you really are something y/n,"

-he felt like it was obvious he wasn't pissed anymore, but to you his 'scolding' made it seem like you pissed him off even more so you just back away to your side of the bed and sit facing away from him, leaving him dumbfounded.

-takes him a few minutes to understand why you did that, but he proceeds to apologise for his actions properly.

-gives you a huge hug and explains to you [in a very very hushed voice] how he only responded like that because he was caught off guard and flustered, not because he was mad at you.

-"wouldn't want you to know i was shy and my ears were red, right?"

-kisses you once again, longer this time to prove he's anything but pissed at you.

-lots of cuddles by the end of the night, might even sing you to sleep :((((

jeongin

-arguments rarely ever happen, he's a very calm and understanding person, always willing to listen to whatever you have to say.

-he just came back home in a shitty mood today and it was very prominent, so you made an attempt to try to ask him what was wrong, and if there was anything you could do to help.

-his head was too clouded and he wasn't thinking straight, so he didn't even realise when he snapped at you, and just when he kept going.

-ended up pouring out all his frustration on you, and the moment he realised what he was doing, he started apologising.

-he thinks he's hurt you and the thought of you being hurt, because of him? waves of guilt washing over him as we're speaking :(

-one second he's profusely apologising, taking back all his harsh words and the next second he's not.

-all his apologies fall against your lips as they reach to meet his, your hands circling around his neck.

-he's stopped talking, but he's in shock and not responding to the kiss. it makes you think he's still feeling guilty and maybe this wasn't the best idea so you slowly try to pull away from him, arms still resting on his shoulders though.

-before he himself processes it he's brainlessly pulling you back to him and kissing you.

-you start to toy with his hair as you ease him into the kiss, knowing he's still hesitant.

-you only pull away once his arms are holding onto your waist and his kisses have a rhythm rather than being sloppy and all over the place, and you offer to run him a bath so he can properly unwind.

-"can we talk too? i want to tell you about my day," :(

don’t you think it’s kinda unrealistic for el to breakup with mike? after the monologue? i wish they would breakup but yk she looks happy with him and with apocalypse/vecna there’s not time for this teen drama honestly:/ she got what she wanted to hear,why would she leave mike? she just lost max and she wouldn’t like to lose even mike,it doesn’t make sense to me.

Alright, I'll bite.

As a treat, I won't even mention Byler because I strongly believe Mike and El need to break up regardless of what happens with Byler.

Mike and Eleven can and should break up in Stranger Things 5

Eleven's story arc is about independence.

I feel like we've talked about this extensively before, but Eleven's arc for every season of Stranger Things has been about learning about who she is, what she's capable of, and who she wants to be. From escaping the labs and making her first friends in season 1, wanting to interact with the world and be normal in season 2, getting away from Mike and Hopper to truly find herself with Max in season 3, and dealing with being different and regaining her powers in season 4. Millie Bobby Brown herself described season 4 as being about El learning how to stand on her own two feet (x).

I will also emphasize that El's growth moments are always when she is apart from Mike. Every season, they must be separated in order to grow. We never actually see them happy and strong together, because--

Mike and Eleven aren't actually happy/good together.

Let's ignore that they start their romance when they're 12 and she's been out of the lab for a week in s1, ignore that they then don't speak for a year in s2, before being attached at the mouth to the point of isolating themselves from their friends in s3--let's put all that aside and just talk about season 4. Their relationship as we've most recently seen it.

First, it's an unbalanced relationship. Consider Eleven's Mike Shrine in her room compared with Mike having nothing of hers, even crumpling up not one but both of her letters to him that we see him read. Think of how Eleven wants the day at the roller rink to be so perfect while Mike barely cares all day. Think of how, of course, Mike can't even sign his letters love while Eleven does.

Next, they spend most of season 4 lying to each other and feeling like they're not enough for each other, in other words, making each other feel bad instead of uplifting each other as a relationship should. We see Eleven thinking that Mike thinks she's a monster; we get Mike thinking Eleven doesn't need him and he's a side character to her superhero. We see Eleven thinking Mike only loves her with her powers, and then get a confession that seems to prove that that's true despite his best efforts.

They truly don't feel that they can be themselves around one another. Eleven feels pressure to portray that she's popular and normal. Mike puts on a facade such as the terrible airport outfit which was confirmed to be something that was written into the script, something Mike would never usually wear, to show that he is "trying to make it work in California." (x)

Does any of this sound like a healthy happy relationship to you?

But, you say, they just fixed things, right, so why would they screw it up again??? Well--

The monologue didn't fix things.

Where do we see Eleven responding to the monologue? Where do we see Mileven interact positively again to show their relationship has stabilized? They almost talk at the pizza place but they're interrupted, and we have no idea what would have been said. But since their big fight, which Mike himself said to be "a fight you can't come back from" they haven't actually communicated at all about where they stand.

I'm not even going to go into all the reasons the monologue is filled with inconsistencies or outright lies, or how it makes much more sense for it to be a desperate response, saying what he feels he needs to say to empower El, based on Will's lie that she needs him and he's the heart.

Because beyond the monologue itself, there's the emotional beat that the monologue fulfills: it's the beginning of the end, the start of the all is lost beat where ultimately, our heroes lose.

To address your point which I've seen often on Reddit:

"There's not time for teen drama."

Stranger Things always has and always will have time for some level of teen drama. This argument is kind of absurd. The Duffers described the core of Stranger Things in their MasterClass as marrying the ordinary and extraordinary, and they've shown that in every season, where the monster sci-fi plot is complemented with the emotional and growth arcs of the various characters.

The Duffers have also explicitly said that they've left certain things and relationships open-ended and unresolved, such as with Nancy and Jonathan and Steve. We're also led to believe by vol 2 that we'll see more of Robin and Vickie. So there's plenty of evidence of more so-called "teen drama" to come. It's quite literally the emotional heart of the show.

Lastly, your worry about El losing Mike?

Mike and El will always be friends and will be better off that way.

Nothing else to add here.

Hope this helps <3

Hello! Can I request an MC who just pops out of nowhere? Like every time someone calls them, they're like "Hello!" and then startling the boys in the process. Thank you! Sorry if it's not too detailed enough.

MC Pops Out of Nowhere!

Lucifer

He's legit getting mini-heart attacks from your popping up from nowhere--

Where do you keep popping up from? He calls your name and you peek put from behind the skeleton and Lucifer's heartbeat increases.

Were they there the whole time?? Oh fuck they might know all the house hiding secrets---

One time Lucifer was drinking melancholy coffee and called for you but then you sneak out from under the table and now the vase nearby is on the floor --

His coffee almost soiled his trousers. Don't make Lucifer throw his coffee please.

In a hidden corner of the House of Lamentation, Lucifer is making a board, together with pinks and red lines to know exactly from where you pop out from. He's scared that if he'll call your name you'll jump from the walls--

Mammon

Are ya some kinda teleporting human or somethin'?! Always popping from nowhere.

Mammon feels that if he'll call your name in a crowd you'll appear from thin air. Or cling to his shoulders like a ghost and say 'hi!'

Legend says that all you need to do to scare Mammon is to call your name. And then a wild MC shows up out of nowhere and now Mammon is clinging to Lucifer and now there's a vase broken on the floor and it was Lucifer's favourite---

He could call your name while at R.A.D. and you'd pop out from a classroom. He'd mention you and you'd appear from the window. The day is not far when you spring from a table...

Leviathan

Levi called your name while gaming--with the door closed and no normies nearby, Levi could finally vent to Henry about you and the effect you had on him. After all, no normie ears should hear him..

But then you pop out from behind the shelf and Levi nearly falls out of his chair. Snek boi jumps three feet in the air before regaining his senses. Were you hiding in his room all along? Who let you in---

When this happens again and again, the demon is slowly getting convinced that you're some kind of teleporting being. That reminds him of an anime he watched last night, where the protagonist used to appear out of nowhere.

But that means he can see you whenever he wants!!

Satan

There was that little kitten, alone and scared. With a gentle hush, Satan picked up the feline and cradled it in his hand. With his free hand, he called for you. There's a stray kitten and--

But then you appear from behind an alleyway and greet him so loudly Satan's pretty sure his ears are still ringing. The kitten was safe, but the blonde demon nearly squawked.

Humans aren't supposed to be this... spontaneous...are they? Because Satan is slowly getting more and more surprised...

...Or maybe it's just a quirk of yours. Appearing like a cat out of nowhere. He finds it endearing.

Asmodeus

His brush was out of reach, and if Asmodeus would move it would certainly add another wrinkle to his clothes! Oh, MC, could you please be a dear and fetch that hairbrush~

That's what Asmodeus said, but he didn't expect you to actually pop out from supposedly thin air and hand him a brush! His lipstick is now on his cheek from the jerk his body gave--

Solomon is about to get a call real soon with a drunk Asmo on the other side in hysterics about how MC can teleport and appear.

Now you've gone and made him step on the book and that's Satan's treasured one and suddenly the room is getting warmer--

Beelzebub

He'd muttered your name one time while chewing on a burger. It tasted really good and Beel wanted to share it with you, but then you pop out of nowhere, and now his burger is crushed in two 😔

The demon doesn't understand how you manage to appear from nowhere, given that this ability of yours has his brothers scared.

One time he was lifting weights, and called from you from across the hall. But then you appear behind him and the demon drops the weights on his foot...

At least you helped him take care of his feet...

Belpheghor

Lure human upstairs. Make them free him. Kill them. Muahuahua.

That was the plan, until Belpheghor called your name, knowing you would be downstairs, and he blinks and you're standing in front of him.

Did...did they know teleportation magic so early? R.A.D. didn't teach that in the first year......

Although it sometimes makes his demon heart jump, it's more convenient for him! Belpheghor doesn't have to go look for you, all he needs to do is say your name and you'll pop out!

[wandering-scavenger]

It's easy enough to reduce Criston Cole's Episode 5 behaviour to being in love with Rhaenyra, but the truth of the matter is that his reaction doesn't revolve around her so much as it revolves around his struggle with honor and purpose.

As he said back in episode 3, Kingsguard is the highest honor that his house has ever had. What he and Rhaenyra initially had was very much reminiscent of the courtly love that was dominant in Arthurian legend, the concept that a knight and lady could have affections for one another while respecting the boundaries of their stations and maintaining a sense of "purity".

It's already been discussed that the episode 4 conflict of to-sleep-with-rhaenyra-or-not-to was not 100% consensual because Criston was in a position of subservience to Rhaenyra and it was very much a "damned if you do, damned if you dont" situation. He risks death either way and ends up breaking his vows to appease her. Of course, it is apparent enough that he harbored feelings for her. But two things can be true at the same time.

We open to episode 5, where Criston proposes that they run away and marry one another, already without his armour and showing his vulnerability to her. When Rhaenyra rejects, he tells her that he broke his vows as Kingsguard and thought that marrying her would relieve him of his guilt. Guilt over what? Breaking his vows, of course. When she suggests that they continue on as lovers while she married Laenor, he reduces it to being her "whore".

In Criston's eyes, the only way he can properly make up for his sin of breaking his Kingsguard vows is by swearing the vows between two people in matrimony, another lifelong commitment. If it was simply about love in his eyes, he might have said "lover/paramour" but he specifically says "whore", someone who trades their body for coin.

Having his proposal be rejected by Rhaenyra was not simply the loss of a romantic future he thought they could have, it was the loss of his chance to redeem himself and regain the honor he lost by sleeping with the woman who gave him his job and whom he was sworn to protect.

It's why he loses all control over himself when Joffrey tries to build a rapport with him and insinuates that they are on the same boat. Criston does not want to be Joffrey's equivalent, a "whore" for their King/Queen to enjoy. To him, there is no honor in that. But the reality of it is staring him so plainly in the face during the feast that he needs to eliminate that reminder by attacking and killing poor Joffrey.

That inability to live with the reality of his situation is further emphasized when he finally tries to kill himself. He's more than a scorned man, he's a man who's lost his purpose and blames himself for it (as seen when he admits to Alicent that he slept with Rhaenyra and accepts the fate of death).

When Alicent stops him from doing the deed, what she is essentially doing is giving him a chance to regain his honour and a new sense of purpose: serving her and her children. It is possible that they will have the courtly love that is more true to Arthurian legend, Criston having such a deep devotion to his Queen and his role as her guard that he pushes the chess pieces to further the Greens' cause. Whether or not there will be a semblance of romance between them in the time jump, there will no doubt be the devotion that renders him one of Alicent's staunchest allies.

hello my beautiful teach, can i ask you for a Dabi x marriage proposal to his gf? I know it’s a scenery very unlike him but that’s why I’m so curious about it. Thank you so much for your time

Hello my beautiful anonie ❤️

It would be a dream come true if something like that were to happen. So let this be our wishful thinking.

Title : Always and forever

Characters : Dabi/ fem reader

Genre : Fluff, just fluff

Masterlist

"So what do you think of marrying me?"

He paced the room mumbling under his breath. He wanted to find the perfect words but it was clearly a lot harder than he expected.

You and Touya have been together for years, five to be exact. You've been with him through thick and thin, and you watched him in his best, and in his worst.

But never once did you think of leaving him, even when he wanted to "release you from your shackles" as he would put it. Because yes, he's always thought that dating him can only be burdening, and he loves you too much that he would rather suffer being apart from you than watch you enduring the consequences of sticking with him.

But you're a spitfire, stubborn and fearless. You just never back down.

"Will you marry me?"

No, he wanted his proposal to be special, those words are overused. But then again this was special on its own. Did he ever think about settling down and dedicating himself to someone? Let alone considering the possibility of having kids one day? Absolutely not.

To be honest, when he first met you, he thought it was just an opportunity to relieve some stress and that's that. But you're not the kind of person one can easily get over.

He found himself going back to you, seeking for more because no matter how much time he had spent with you, it was never enough. You've become his addiction.. and he's become yours.

"Wanna get married?"

He mumbled again as you walked into the room.

_ "Who are you talking to?" You asked with a smile and playfully scanned the room.

_ "No one, just myself." He walked up to you and pulled you in his arms kissing your temple.

You giggled and melted into him.

He's the love of your life, someone you can't see yourself carrying on without.

You've never told him before, but you usually imagine how your lives would be if you were to have a family together. But you know that's not something he would ever consider with the way his life is.

And you're okay with it, as long as he allows you to be with him.

_ "The shower's yours." You beamed looking up and kissing his nose.

_ "We would've been both done if you'd let me shower with you."

_ "Seriously? You know you can't keep your hands to yourself, we'd still be in there." You teased burying your face in his chest again: "Go ahead, I'll be waiting."

Water run down his body as he stood there doing nothing.

"Hey let's get married."

Would that be good enough? But it doesn't sound like a proposal, it sounds more like he already knows what your answer would be.

But he knows. Even if you refuse to show it, he knows you dream of a peaceful life with him.. a family.

He knows because he sees the way you longingly gaze at the kids who pass you by on the street, or the way that sad smile appears on your face everytime kids' commercials show up on TV.

And it's not that he doesn't want all that, it's just that he worries. But he's willing to make the necessary changes for you and for himself.

Both of you deserve to be happy.

You were already drifting off when he entered your shared bedroom. And only when you felt the bed dipping underneath his weight, did you regain full consciousness.

_ "Touya, what took you so long?"

He couldn't tell you he spent almost an hour thinking about a perfect way to propose.

_ "Well I'm here now." He smirked throwing his body on top of you.

You couldn't help the giggle escaping your throat, you loved those sweet carefree moments you sometimes shared, and you wished to have more of them.

_ "Touya you're heavy! Get up get up!" You played it dramatic expecting him to join your little game, but he said nothing and actually got up.

_ "What? Wait I'm joking!" You freaked out a little and pulled his arm.

_ "I know babe I'll be right back so wait for me." He kissed your cheek and left the room.

You stayed there for a while not sure of what happened exactly. But he asked you to wait for him, and that's what you did.

"How about we get married?"

He breathed out holding the ring he just fished out of his jacket, fondling it between his fingers as he pondered.

That would be casual, yeah, so it's cool right?

But cool couldn't be said about him, not when he had spent the previous week trying to get you the perfect ring without you finding out.

He finally picked a blue sapphire ring.

You've always told him that his flames have the most beautiful color, something no one else has told him.

And even if it wasn't the usual complement he would get for his quirk, he still loved it.

_ "Touya, what's going on? Is everything okay? You've been gone for a while." You walked right up to him trying to understand the situation.

He was startled, and without realizing it turned around with the ring still in his hand.

The sparkling blue gemstone caught your attention and you stopped dead in your tracks trying to figure out what it meant.

You didn't want to get your hopes up, so you kept quiet waiting for him to explain.

He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. He tried to remember what he practiced but his brain was blurry.

_ "Touya, what does this mean?" You were on the verge of tears and you couldn't wait any longer for him to speak.

But he still couldn't say a word, so instead he took your hand and looked at you through hopeful eyes.

_ "Is this what I think it is? Are you proposing to me?" You finally dared asking the question you've always hoped he'd ask you.

He knew he needed to say something, he couldn't just stay quiet.

"I want to be with you forever."

Yes, perfect. That was exactly what he wanted to convey, he was finally able to speak the right words. And your reaction was evidence.

Your tears fell down as you smiled brightly blurting out your response:

"Yes! Yes! Always and forever!"

You jumped in his arms and he engulfed you in his embrace, kissing you softly and finally placing the ring on your finger. It felt right, and he regretted not doing it much sooner, but nothing is lost, you two have the rest of your lives ahead and you will spend it making each other happy.

Irondad fic ideas #15

Alright, get ready y'all, this one's a doozy.

In another universe, Peter does the snap. He's not even dramatic about it. He just flings into battle, ends up with the gauntlet at some point, and his instincts let him know exactly what he needs to do. He does not survive.

So far you're like okay cool cool, we've seen this before. BUT,

Tony Stark is overcome with grief. He'd only just regained his pseudo-son after mourning him for five years, and now he's lost him again. Unable to bear the pain, he starts drinking again, and his behavior becomes so volatile that it drives Pepper and Morgan away. While they're temporarily living somewhere else, a villain attacks, and Tony isn't near enough to protect them. In fact, he's wasted. By the time he wakes up and learns of the attack, they're already gone.

Here's where it gets interesting, I promise.

Tony has now lost everything. To fix all of the pain and mistakes and loss, he decides to use the time machine. His plan? To let his past self do the snap the way he was already expecting last time (before his idiotic, self-sacrificing kid beat him to it). Then, he'll miraculously appear, good as new. Sure, this will create a branch in the timelines, but he doesn't even care at this point. He has lost everything.

Of course, nothing goes according to plan.

Tony mixes up the dates a bit, ends up traveling to about a week before the battle. While stuck waiting around, he longingly observes his past self. He sees himself videocall with Pepper and Morgan. He hears himself talk about Peter to some of the team. With only hours left to go, he suddenly realizes that he is not the same person anymore as this Tony Stark. If he goes through with his plan, he'll be giving his family a different Tony Stark than the one they love.

SO

New plan. Instead of letting his past self do all the work, he knocks his past self out and dives into the battle. He keeps obsessive track of one Peter B. Parker, making sure to hug him for a lot longer this time. Obviously, this is just to stall past the point in time when his own Peter snapped, not for any other reason. When he finally gets his chance, he does his own snap, ending the fight. And, unlike Peter, he's a dramatic little shit about it, parrying Thanos's "I am inevitable" with an iconic, relieved, "I am Ironman."

The Tony from this universe arrives in time to comfort his distraught family and witness the alternate Tony's last moments. No one knows what's going on. But, meeting the dying Tony's eyes, this Tony thinks maybe he understands. He holds his kid and Pepper and makes a solemn promise, just like with Yinsen, not to waste this chance. His gratitude is endless.
