#her having the bi shoes also is my favorite thing

[steddiealltheway]

"Steve! You've got to help me. I panicked, and I told my Tinder date that you and Eddie have been dating for two years!" Robin yells as she storms into their living room. 

Luckily, Steve's gotten used to her entering their apartment in such a way over the past few years, but he barely registers what she says in her haste. He takes a moment to stare at her with his eyebrows drawn together in confusion, hoping the words will eventually make sense. 

They don’t. 

"What?" 

Robin paces back and forth while gesturing wildly with her hands. "You know how I do the thing where I ramble around girls I find really really hot? Well, I was doing that, and I brought you up and kept going on about how annoying my roommate is-" 

"Are you kidding m-" 

Robin continues as if she didn't just insult him. "And she kind of stopped and look at me and said, 'Your roommate is a guy?' And I got confused and said yes because why would I lie? And she got all uncomfortable and started asking more questions like if you were gay or straight, and I told her you were bi, and she got even weirder! So, eventually I just straight up asked her what was wrong, and she said that she didn't want to go out with me if my roommate was potentially into me. So I told her that wasn't a problem because you've been dating Eddie for two years." She finishes with that awkward lip bite she does which can be oddly endearing sometimes. But it’s not this time. 

Steve leans forward on the couch. "I'm sorry. You still want to go out with a girl who has no trust in my ability to keep things in my pants? As if she doesn't trust that you're a lesbian and if I ever made a move on you, you would absolutely punch me in the throat." 

Robin sits next to him and grabs his hands. "She's so so hot, Steve. Please." 

Steve rolls his eyes. "Fine, you can keep telling her that I’m dating Eddie, I guess." 

Robin breaks eye contact and starts picking at her nail polish. 

Well, that’s not a great sign. "What aren't you telling me?" 

Robin slowly looks at him in the way a dog looks at their owner after destroying their favorite shoes. "Okay, so then I really got a bit crazy, and when she asked me to show me pictures of you two together, I dropped my phone in my glass of water." She slowly pulls out her phone, and sure enough, it won't even turn on. 

Steve digs the heels of his hands into his eyes before grabbing her phone and stalking off to the kitchen to find rice and a bowl. Robin follows after him. 

"So, all I need to do is take a few pictures of you guys looking really coupley on dates and whatnot and make it look like they range over the past two years. I also told Veronica that I would let her meet you two sometime soon,” She rushes in to add the second thing before Steve can really process the first one. She just smiles, trying to look all sweet and endearing.  

Steve gives Robin the best bitchy glare he has, but she shoots him one back and counters by saying, "You owe me, and you know it." 

"For what?" Steve asks as he pours rice over her phone. 

Robin crosses her arms. "Three weeks ago, you kicked me out of the apartment without warning to have sex with some random girl, and I was left stranded for the night." 

Steve scoffs, "You went to Nancy's and slept in her very nice guest bedroom!" 

"You owe me!" 

Steve puts the bag of rice down and sighs. "Fine, but if Eddie doesn't agree, then I'm out." 

Robin smiles. "Deal." 

Steve hates how confident she is about the whole thing, so he calls Eddie and puts him on speaker. When he answers, Steve immediately says, "Hey, Eddie, you're on speaker with me and Robin, and she has a very ridiculous request for you. I'll let her tell you the details." 

After Robin recounts her night and Steve tries not to rant about how much of a bad vibe he gets from the girl, Eddie pauses for a bit to take it all in. Then, he says, "Robin, I really don't like this Veronica girl." 

"She's hot!" Robin retorts. 

Eddie snorts on the other line. "I'm in if Steve's in." 

Steve's jaw drops. Robin shoots him a big smile. "Perfect! What if we started on pictures early tomorrow? I've got a lot of random dates to prepare you guys for." 

Steve interrupts before Eddie can answer. "And why can't you show her like... three pictures of us cuddling on the couch?" 

"We need to cover our tracks as much as we can and cuddling on the couch a few times won’t do. Oh, we should hang a few pictures of you two around the apartment!" Robin plots excitedly. 

Steve runs a hand through his hair and shakes his head. He can't believe he's doing this. They don’t even have pictures hanging up. 

"Tomorrow works for me," Eddie says, entirely oblivious to Steve’s internal struggle. 

But Steve can't help but get a little excited at the thought of seeing Eddie and spending a whole day with him. 

So, he sucks it up and says, "I'm free, too. And I'm excited to see you, Eddie. I've missed you." 

"I saw you yesterday," Eddie laughs on the other line. 

Steve blushes and argues, "Seeing you for a minute when I get my coffee doesn't count." 

"Whatever you say, pumpkin bread." 

Pumpkin bread? Steve scrunches up his nose in protest. “That’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard.” 

"Just practicing for when we meet this Veronica girl, my peach." 

Steve can’t help but laugh. "We are not that kind of couple. But I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good night. Sweet dreams, rubber ducky." 

Eddie laughs loudly on the other line and muffles the sound probably with his hand. 

Steve bites his lip, trying not to get too pleased at causing that reaction. 

"Good night, sweetheart." The line beeps three times as the call ends, and Steve can't help the smile that grows on his face. Sweetheart... he kind of likes that one. 

"Glad to see you two get into your roles," Robin says with a smirk. 

Steve jumps back, having forgotten she was there. "I'm going to bed. Goodnight.” With that, he quickly rushes off to his room before Robin can say anything else about the interaction. 

"Goodnight, dingus!" she calls after him joyously. 

This all better be worth it.

-:-:-:-:-:-

The next morning, Steve can't help but get a little nervous when Eddie sends him an "Almost there!" text. He has a feeling this whole thing is going to blow up in their faces or something. 

He's always known that Eddie's been cute. Hell, the first time he saw him, Steve thought he was hot. But he had never thought of them together after that. Sure, there was definitely a certain chemistry between them, but for some reason, Steve always saw him as off-limits. Especially since Dustin would kill him if he ever broke Eddie's heart. 

So, Steve learned to push down any feelings he's had for him over the years. And he's afraid that all those repressed feelings are going to come up today.  

There's a knock on his and Robin's apartment door, and Steve freezes. Hopefully his and Eddie’s friendship will survive whatever happens next.  

Here goes nothing.  

He opens the door to find a curly head of hair in front of him that isn't Eddie's. 

"Nancy?" 

"Hi! I'm here to take pictures today," she explains as she walks through the door, wiggling her Canon camera in her hand. "I thought Robin told you." 

"She certainly did not," Steve says and pinches his nose. He might kill her. He pushes the door shut, but it stops. 

"Hey," Eddie says peaking his head out from behind the door and catching Steve’s eye quickly. "Sorry, I'm late," he apologizes as he pulls Steve into a tight hug. 

Steve lingers in it, squeezing Eddie tightly, smelling the lavender shampoo he uses, and trying to make the moment last as long as he can. 

The sound of a camera shutter snaps him out of the moment. 

He pulls back and looks at Nancy. 

"Taking some candid pictures," she says unapologetically. 

But Steve doesn't care too much when he feels Eddie's hand linger on his back. "You're taking pictures for us? What happened to Robin?" 

"Yes, what did happen to Robin?" Steve asks raising his voice so she'll hear him. 

"Coming!" she yells then comes out of her room looking very strangely put together. Steve glances down at her wrist and notices her wearing her lucky black bracelet. When did she start wearing that again? 

"You look nice," Nancy says with a soft smile. 

"Thanks," Robin replies with a soft blush. 

Steve is definitely missing something, but he can't pay attention when Eddie is gently rubbing his back. He's going to end up dying on the spot. 

"Eddie!" Robin says, finally noticing him, "I see you brought the extra clothes." 

Steve glances down to where Eddie's suitcase sits on the floor. He does not remember him bringing that in. Shit, he's so distracted by his presence. Wait. "Why did you bring extra clothes?" he asks Eddie then notices how close they're standing. Oh, hello, Eddie's very soft-looking lips. 

"I told you we're covering two years. That means different seasons," Robin says as if the answer is obvious. 

Hell no. "There's no way in hell I'm wearing cold clothes outside in the heat." 

"Good thing I planned for us to stay in for those pictures," Nancy says with a smile on her face. "Now go change into one of your sweaters or something. Oh! Eddie, you should change with him so you two can color coordinate. It'll be so cute!" 

Steve adds Nancy to the list of people he might murder. 

Eddie's hand drops from his back as he wheels the suitcase into Steve's room. Steve follows and closes the door behind him. 

"Sorry for all this," Steve says, glancing around to make sure nothing embarrassing is laying out. 

Eddie shakes his head and brushes it off as if it's nothing, "Nah, it's all good. I think it could be fun if we let it. Color coordinating is a horrible idea though." 

"Agreed," Steve replies, deciding that his room looks fine. He opens up his closet and pushes his short sleeve clothes to the side to try to get to his sweaters hanging in the back. "What are you thinking for clothes?" 

"I don't care as long as you wear your yellow sweater for one of the pictures." 

Steve snorts. For some reason, Eddie had such an attachment to the thing. One time, he mistakenly put it in his designated donation bin, and he thought Eddie was going to cry when he found it. 

He had cradled the thing to his chest and dramatically said, "You don't understand, Steve. Some people's lives depend on you wearing this sweater. Their lives, Steve." 

Steve had rolled his eyes, put it back on a hanger, and hung it with the other sweaters. "Better?" he asked. 

"Much better."  

And the whole thing had been worth it to see the smile on Eddie's face - especially when Steve decided to surprise him by wearing it to the coffee shop the next day. 

"Whatcha thinking about?" Eddie asks with a smile, suddenly very close to him. 

Steve shakes his head as if shaking away the memory. "Nothing." 

Eddie raises an eyebrow but he doesn't push it before he goes back to his suitcase and starts laying out his clothes on Steve's bed. 

Steve strips off his shirt and pulls the sweater over his head. He glances down at his jeans and decides that Veronica probably won't remember what pants he was wearing in each picture. 

He turns to tell Eddie as much but freezes when he sees Eddie shirtless, sorting through the clothes to find the perfect assortment of layers. Steve swallows and adverts his eyes. He is not going to check him out while he's changing. He clears his throat and turns back to his closet. "I think we just need to change our shirts. Maybe outside, you can start with a base layer then add on top of that." 

Steve doesn't think he can stand to see shirtless Eddie with all his tattoos out in the daylight or the moonlight - if it takes that long. And he certainly does not want to let anyone else see that either. 

"That's smart, babe." 

Steve's hand squeezes whatever poor shirt he was grabbing a little too tight at the nickname. He's never been one for nicknames, especially over-the-top ones, but knowing it's Eddie calling him that as if he really does love him... it really does something for Steve. 

He doesn't reply as he grabs a few shirts and jackets and lays them out on the bed next to Eddie's stuff. 

He glances up at Eddie and almost breathes a sigh of relief when he sees that he has a shirt on. And a flannel. And his leather jacket. Thank goodness for layers. 

He looks back at Eddie's face and catches the exact moment that Eddie registers him wearing the yellow sweater. His eyes fill with unhinged excitement and joy. He walks right into Steve's space and leans down - oh my god - to talk to the sweater. 

"I've missed you so much. You know, it's so unfair that Steve only gets to wear you for a small part of the year. And he doesn't own anything short-sleeved in your beautiful color it seems." 

Steve puts his hands on his hips and stares up at the ceiling. He can't believe he's ever had trouble pushing down feelings for this man. 

(But he makes a note to himself to buy more things in yellow just for him.) 

There’s a loud knocking on the door, then Robin yells, “You two have been in there for a while! Everything okay?” 

“Eddie is talking to my sweater again!” Steve calls back. 

There’s a pause before Nancy says, “Sorry, we didn’t hear you right. What?” 

“I’m talking to his sweater! Be out soon!” Eddie yells. 

There’s some mumbling outside the door as Steve finally looks down at Eddie and asks, “Are you done?” 

Eddie smiles up at him. “Never.” 

But he straightens up and presses a quick kiss to Steve’s shoulder before he turns to leave the room. “That was for the sweater, not you,” Eddie clarifies. 

“Right,” Steve replies. Because that makes so much sense.

Today is going to kill him. 

Part two ;)

(This was meant to just be a ficlet for my dear friend @henderdads , and then it turned into a six-part fic. I hope you enjoy!! ((Especially you, Cass)) AO3 Link here!)

[official-darkforest]

i am SOOO unbelievably thrilled by your anthro au omg. do you have fashion ideas for the characters? like their favorite outfits, fabrics, etc? imo one of the best parts of anthro characters is deciding how they'd express themselves through their clothing :]

I HAVE A FEW ALREADY!!!! i dont have many specifics because theres so many characters ahd i havent drawn them all yet LOL but i'll share the ones i do have at least SOMETHING for

im also trying to keep these reasonable for the time period and location, as in my au the clan cats are mostly rural and in small towns set (mostly) before the 2000s so most may dress more modest and conservative (especially if theyre older and very religious)

squirrelflight - the best i can describe her sense of fashion is that it ranged from tomboy as a younger girl and is currently closer to a working class butch. im not sure if masc would be a more appropriate term since i dont hc her as a lesbian (shes bi) but she dresses "like a man" and owns a lot of jeans, slacks, and button-up shirts of all kinds of fabrics and patterns. she also enjoys bright colors as well, but as she got older her fashuon sense got a little more sensible and less "loud" like it was in the 60s and 70s. she also has glasses like her daddy once shes like 35 or so. she and firestar dressed very similarly, and a lot of her shirts and neckties are things she stole from his closet

feathertail - very feminine. hippie adjacent, lots of loose and flowing garments and jingly pieces. breatheable clothes and open toed shoes. her favorite swimsuit had some little frilly bits on it i think. often combines neutral earthy tones with blues and whites

crowfeather - lots of handmedowns from his father. clothes you can do farmwork in like jeans, overalls, hardy flannel/denim shirts and boots. never grew out of this and still dresses this way and he likes it

jayfeather - he looks like a modernized (as far as the 80s goes) version of his father - same hairstyle snd way of dress. he isnt too formal but does have some more preppiness to his clothing style (polo shirts and sweaters). he avoids full button downs since buttoning them himself jjust gets frustrating since he cant match them up every time. new wave band shirts. he also wears orange tinted glasses to protect his eyes (in this au i wrote that hes able to perceive shadows and light pretty okay, but not much else beyond that) And Kinda As A Fashion Statement cuz it goes well with his facial structure and hairstyle i think

lionblaze - hes like if the stereotypical jock and stereotypical 80s rock+metal enthusiast had a baby. muscle tees and bandanas, ripped jeans, those absurdly short shorts, crop tops, etc. he's a drummer i think if that matters LOL

ivypool - punk, also sorta like joan jett to an extent. very homemade, tho sometimes she gets lazy and doesnt really commit to the outfits all the way (but definitely has the mindset, dint get me wrong). one of those girls with a chest small enough to go braless 99% of the time; wears a lot of tank tops and sleeveless shirts LOL

bone/brick/scourge - just google "the outsiders movie" or "greaser" and you'll get the idea. tho i imagine these three in particular also have some kind of bare minimum formalwear scraped together from their escapades. theyre kinda like the jetts/sharks from west side story if that helps at all

daisy - she combines flowing, pretty dresses with a sunhat and work boots. she also teaches horseback riding and owns a few (its a business she runs w smokey and floss. i think its be funny if they were polyam ITS MY AU I CAN CHANGE WHAT I WANT) and she has horseback-appropriate clothing as well

poppyfrost - THEE preppy girl of the 80s. big hair, perm and all. dresses with pastel colors. her sisters cinderheart and honeyfern are pretty similar, tho i imagine honeyfern is a little more sporty and cinderheart takes inspiration from madonna once shes trying to court lionblaze

hazeltail - long haired country girl butch. enough said

spottedleaf snd cinderpelt are nuns lol

[loremaster]

GOOD NEWS!

wicked movie… good

ok first of all i gotta say… i shipped gelphie before i really understood People Can Be Gay And I Can Be One Of Those People. i saw the musical on stage and was like. huh…. these two girls should have ended up with each other instead of fiyero. they give me soft feelings. baby’s first yuris…..

i went in with low expectations of course because as we all know movie adaptations of musicals can be very hit or miss, and film adaptations of anything lately have been mostly garbage it seems. but thank GOD they delivered on this one (or at least the first half).

- Honestly out of everything my favorite part has GOT to be the set design. the village, the school, the city, the miniature city, the tower, the FUCKING ROTATING LIBRARY?!?!?!?! coolest shit ever. knocked it out of the fucking PARK.

- costume design was also phenomenal. love all the funny little outfits. the gowns, the shoes, THE shoes, the variation in the school uniforms, the glasses, the sheer amount of Pink Things in glinda’s wardrobe (and the choices of which scenes to wear which shades of pink? spot on)… i’d unironically wear that Froat. gorgeous needle felting. and of course all the funny outlandish costumes in the One Short Day scene were amazing, especially those bouncy men, and those twisty ribbony skirts…

- also speaking of student uniforms i LOVED seeing visibly queer people at shiz. that half-skirt-pants thing was iconic. loved every instance of gender nonconformity, no matter how small. i’d love to rewatch the movie just for that. of COURSE this colorful magical musical world is filled with people like us and thank GOD the director + cast + crew had the brains/heart/courage to display that on screen.

- special shoutout to jonathan bailey whom once again has baffled me with his ability to convincingly fall in love with women on screen… but this time he gets to be a little bi with it! he managed to seduce practically every single student in that school, even boq, hot damn

- loved boq’s little quirk of standing on things to make himself taller. and - can’t remember if this was in the stage version - the line about the hankerchiefs “i cry a lot.” all those little foreshadowing moments made me chuckle. “Get Stuffed.” can’t WAIT to see fiyero get stuffed in part 2 ;0

- side note, i heard they might be adding a new musical number to part 2?!?!? and if it were up to me… i’d love to see some fun scarecrow/tin man/cowardly lion three-part harmonies. they probably won’t do that though since it’d be hard to do so without making dorothy an Actual Character and i like that she’s a faceless plot device in this version of the wizard of oz story. time will tell

- i thought the whole thing was very well cast. even though there were some cases i wish they had gone with better vocalists… (michelle yeoh and jeff goldblum) their acting chops did definitely make up for it so i’m satisfied

- one little detail i really really loved is there’s this illustrated poster of the wizard you see in the background in several shots throughout the movie - and it looks like a bland generic white man… but once they reveal which actor is actually playing the wizard you realize in hindsight… hey it DOES kinda look like jeff goldblum. not super recognizably, but the facial proportions are there. they got his wide set eyes. whichever illustrator did that, you toed the line between accurate and vague soooooooo well. hats off to you

- the one thing that kinda irked me acting wise was ariana grande’s lack of facial animatedness…. i’ll begrudgingly accept it as a Character Choice since she rocked the vocals and the body language (and i know she worked her ass off for her dream role) but oh man. would have loved to see her wrinkle up her face a bit more. sigh.

- cynthia erivo fucking KILLED ITTTTTTT in all respects. i got nothing negative to say about her at all, mwah mwah mwah. she’s gorgeous and she has such a great voice and was such a good choice for the role.

- hair and makeup crew for elphaba killed it too, awesome wig, awesome nails, awesome shades of green in her skin (and the cute little freckles!!!!)…. beautiful. selfishly i thought she looked better with the glasses but that’s a Me Thing. i think everyone would look better with glasses

- staging and choreography was awesome. every number was great. they even managed to make everyone’s least favorite song A Sentimental Man entertaining! the power of cinema! and shadow puppets!

- loved the addition of the other animal characters to Something Bad. aging mustachioed snow leopard…. call me

- and fiyero’s banter with his horse… great way to show what kind of person he is right off the bat: snarky and playful but also got a kind heart and doesn’t look down on anyone.

- i had heard a negative comment (on xitter of all places, should have known) that they padded out the runtime with a bunch of stupid filler but honestly i didn’t think it was stupid. i guess it was frustrating from the point of view of someone who wanted to sing along to the songs as i know them from the obc soundtrack but, like. it made sense. the pacing felt good.

- of all the New Additions to the film (and besides the aforementioned badass rotating library) my favorite was probably glinda’s two besties. they probably had names idk. LOVED them. great comic relief without taking too much attention to themselves. looking forward to seeing them again in part 2…. and i love having no idea what’s going to happen to them. will they recede into the background? get mini character arcs? split apart or stay together? either way they’ve gotta stick around because they are so entertaining to see on screen.

- i can safely say i’m shipping gelphie again. they are very important to me. love this beautifully tragic doomed yuri.

- the little smiles… the gestures… the development of their relationship… the part when they’re laying in bed together looking at each other… AAUUUUGGGHHHHHH MY LITTLE GAY HEART CAN’T TAKE IT

-Do You Think They Explored Each Others’ Bodies Flushed Emoji

- ok but this time. im smart enough at media now. i recognize that fiyero is a Good Character and not just getting in the way of the girls. he can be part of this relationship too. in a perfect world the three of them could all get married together………… but this is not a perfect world

- god. what a great movie. i’m really eager to watch it again already. the level of detail and love that was put into this production is so, so, so clear. thanks to jon chu for recognizing this story is so important to so many people and transferring that onto the big screen with not only fidelity but creativity and passion. from the producer to the director to the cast and crew - especially the crew and ESPECIALLY the section of the crew specifically dedicated to covid management. everyone involved gave their all and, pun intended, i couldn’t be happier. thank goodness!

- oh wait never mind i forgot my least favorite part of the movie. the kristen chenoweth idina menzel cameo was stupid as hell. like they were funny and all but the meta humor was so out of place it took me out of the moment. if i were a kid watching this and i didn’t recognize those people i’d be confused. …they did have cool outfits though.

- ok. can’t wait for part 2. i will wait as long as i need to for it to be Good

[sugarcryztal]

Hello! I would love to have a romantic mha matchup if that’s ok! With some nsfw headcanons if you have any ideas!!

I’m 22 years old, woman, I’m portuguese but fluent in english and my pronouns are she/her, I’m bi (with a preference for men). I have long black hair and green eyes (I wear glasses but I also go for contact lenses pretty often). I’m 5’2” and usually my style is black clothes tight shirts with a good amount of cleavage and either heels or platform shoes (mostly boots, military and more “put together”). I also am almost always with eyeliner on. I use a lot of jewellery, rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, everything, especially hoop earrings and gold necklaces.

I am a very extroverted, friendly and outgoing, I usually get along with people really well when I first meet them. I’m very talkative and love to spend hours just hanging out and chatting with my friends. I am a giant flirt (I cannot stress this enough, seriously I do NOT shut up), I hit on everyone all the time and I tend to carry the bit as far as it goes. But I am also a very hardworking person, I’m super stubborn, competitive and ambitious and when I set my mind to something go absolutely nothing can stop me. Since I’m so outgoing I also tend to be very outspoken, I’m very assertive when need be and I don’t take shit from anyone. I can be very confrontational and when I’m stressed or upset (I’m a very stressed person, I’m always doing everything at once and more) I get pretty snappy and a bit mean (working on it don’t worry). But one thing I am is a ride or die once I’m close to someone I am the first to defend them no matter what and at all costs (me and my friends joke I’m a bitch but it’s just because I’m the most outspoken and loud person in the room I swear I’m only an asshole when pushed 💀)

I LOVE horror movies, video games, reading and just walking around. My favorite colors are red and black and they are kind of my signature at this point. I am also known for really liking cats (my own cat especially <3) and the stars. My favorite thing to do is just hanging out with my friends tho, preferably with some drinks involved, I love hosting parties and gathering people together for everyone to spend time with each other. My love language is definitely gift giving (I cannot control myself I will shower my partner in presents, it doesn’t have to be a special occasion I will pass by a store, see something they might like and oh look at that now it’s bought in a pretty bag with a giant red bow), and acts of service (I will grab you anything you need, water? Done, a tissue? On it darling). But when I’m hitting on someone pre-relationship I think I just go for all bases not gonna lie, I’m very attentive and not only do I actively flirt with them I also tend to use a lot of physical contact, LOTS of nicknames (I use no ones name, nuh-huh, at best a nickname but no one is safe for my “darling, babe, love, angel”, especially not a partner)

With all this in the bedroom I’m a lot more submissive (honestly it’s just all bark and no bite, I put a bit of a fight but I also like to do a good job, they just have to earn it first :)). I’m open to most things but I really like to be close during sex.

I hope this was good and I’m sorry if this was a bit of a mess, I’m not used to matchups but I figured better safe than sorry right? Hahahaha anyways thank you so much in advance! <333

i’m so sorry in advance i got a little silly writing this cause i haven’t slept in 2 days

warning: nsfw later on, reader discretion is advised.

Your match is . . .

Fatgum !

SFW

⟡ I KNOW I KNOW… BUT PLEASE HEAR ME!!!!

⟡ Silly guy and the hot girl he pulled by being autistic /j

⟡ You guys are ray of sunshine x ray of sunshine.

⟡ You guys probably met at one of your parties and he instantly fell in love. How could he not when you’re so gorgeous?!

⟡ When he started crushing at first, he was actually a little insecure you wouldn’t like him because of his appearance. Cause he was built like a bowling ball fr… Jk he’s confident he’s lovable because it’s you! And you calling him all those sweet nicknames helps a lot.

⟡ Okay I’m sorry that was mean of me to say, but I WAS SO SURPRISED AT HIS ACTUAL APPEARANCE?

⟡ When you flirt with him his brain short circuits. You, a gorgeous wonderful woman, flirting with him? This had to be a dream right?

⟡ And if it was a dream he never wanted to wake up from it.

⟡ After a while of flirting, he gains confidence and starts to flirt back! Which might’ve accidentally caused some playful flirting war between you guys?

⟡ Might actually get a little possessive even if you guys aren’t dating. Like if you’re flirting with someone at a party he’ll quickly swoop in from behind, wrap his arms around your waist, and say something alone the lines of “What’cha doing there, Sweetheart?”

⟡ His voice during those moments unintentionally goes low and gravelly so give him a bit to switch back.

⟡ If you’re the type to host 7 minutes of heaven at your parties, that’s how he confesses to you.

⟡ To his surprise, he was lucky enough to get stuck with you in a closet in the first place!

⟡ When you guys were stuck in the closet, he was a little nervous at first because he thought it was such a childish way to confess, but he might as well get it over with! What’s the point of beating around the bush?

⟡ He just blurted it out, straight up was just like “I like you.”

⟡ A few moments of awkward silence go by and you admit you like him too <3!

⟡ Mission success! You guys are making out now and need more than 7 minutes.

⟡ When you guys start dating, expect to go on a lot of dinner dates. Because he’s a big foodie. Don’t worry about paying, it’s on him!

⟡ He would also love stargazing dates though. Just getting away from the busy city and laying next to you on a blanket underneath the stars.

⟡ Any date with you is a perfect date for him. The destination doesn’t matter to him as long as it’s with you.

⟡ He’s also very physically affectionate, his kisses are really soft and he treats you like you’re the most precious person in the world! And that’s because to him you are!

⟡ I don’t know if your cats are friendly or not, but he meets them eventually. It’s up to you how to envision that going!

⟡ You both are gift givers, he tends to see a lot of stuff and get reminded of you! He doesn’t really worry about money that much so you shouldn’t either.

⟡ Will also always accept your gifts! You could gift him a dead rat and he would take it to display on his shelf in his room!

⟡ For pet names I feel like he would use any of them on you, but his favorite is probably “babe”.

You and Fatgum quietly walked into the closet together, you were a little bit excited considering Fatgum was your crush.

However it was turning out more awkward than you expected… You tried to talk to him and make more conversation, but he was avoiding eye contact and giving one worded responses! Did he not like you? Was something wrong?

Before you could speak up. Fatgum said, “I like you.”

You sat there and for once had nothing to say besides a quiet, “What?”

“I like you.” Fatgum repeated again. “I’m in love with you. I love the way you talk to others so easily and make them feel so comfortable, the way you adore each and every one of your friends, and I want to be your favorite boy.” It was silent again for a moment.

Fatgum was getting nervous and he was about to take it back until you said, “I like you too.”

He blushed at those words. Now was the time you both had realized how close your faces were together. Before you could comment on it, you felt lips pressed against yours.

Tonight was a beautiful night.

NSFW

⟡ Holds you close while fucking you.

⟡ He actually also doesn’t really talk while doing it either? If you ask him why it’s because he’s lost in your warmth.

⟡ His favorite position is missionary and I know that’s basic, but he feels closest to you like that!

⟡ Also makes out with you a lot during it, he just wants to be impossibly closer to you!

⟡ Uhhhh he MIGHT be whipped for you!

⟡ Like seriously I think he lowkey worships you.

⟡ Also if you’re into it, he’s a certified eater. Eats it like it’s a fine dining three course meal! <3

⟡ Loves how you get all submissive because now he knows how to get you to settle down after a long night of partying!

⟡ Also, quickies if you’re into that. He gets all whiny and desperate for you, saying stuff like “Just the tip please!” and it never ends up because yours just so amazing!

“Just the tip honey, please?” is what your boyfriend was begging you just a couple hours ago. How long had it been? You didn’t know. How many times had you came? You had not a clue. But he was still going!

You were pressed against the bed, your legs wrapped around his waist to keep him close as he fucked you into the sheets. “Thank you so much baby, feels so good… Thank you!” He shamelessly moaned into your ear.

He felt your hands scratching at his back and he moaned, he buried his face in the crook of your neck, littering kisses and bites. Your skin was so delicious. Better than any dish he had from any Michelin star restaurant.

You were no better, whining for him to continue. Which only egged him on to continue plowing into you until you couldn’t walk the next day! 😵‍💫

The T7S gang's kids, in my verse. Their middle school relationships.

Based on @einsteinsugly's post for her verse

Leia: Nothing at all. Not even close to sexually active. She's had crushes on girls and guys, and kisses Gwen during truth or dare. But aside from that, she never really did anything.

Mia: She goes on one date with a guy named Colin and kisses him, but they realize they’re better as friends (some similarities to s1-2 r*cas)

Reggie: He's dated a bit. Lost his virginity in the back of a van at 12 years old to an upperclassman, but he never had a real relationship. Just gone on a few dates.

Kat: She kissed one boy named Colin at 13 and really liked him, only to find out he made a bet with his friends that he’d get the first girl he ever saw to fall for him. Let’s just say that her heart wasn’t the only thing that got broken that day.

Betsy: I talked about this in a separate post (which I still need to finish lol), but she lost her virginity at 13 in the woods to a guy named John Helmsman. After what happened, she decided to go the monk route and vowed to never have sex again.

Jay: He loses his virginity at 13-14 similar to how Reggie does. Who he loses it to? I don’t know yet. A part of me wants to say Nate since in my verse since they’re each other’s bi awakenings.

Oak: Literally nothing. He’s had crushes on boys, but doesn’t realize it at the time because compulsory heterosexuality.

Rose: She has crushes, but never really does anything. Focuses on school and her grades, which makes her parents proud but also stirs jealousy in her little sister June, who masks it by taunting her for being a 'goody two shoes' (she’s already jealous that Rose is basically FR's favorite haha)

June: Loses her virginity at 12-13 to her first love, Julius. But then he ghosted her the next day, leaving her with a broken heart for the next few months. Word spreads around school and she gets slut shamed a lot, along with kids just assuming she'll 'do it with anybody' to cope with him leaving.

For the character questions, Cassie NoCanonLastName Animorphs?

1. Sexuality

Baby bi bi bi

2. Otp

The tragedy of Jake/Cassie cannot be beat. The unbearable first-crush secondhand mortification of their early days. The twists and trials they go to until they are standing on opposite sides of the canyon that once was the life they could have had.

I also love Cassie/Rachel with all my heart. I wish they'd had longer :(

Also ngl I do always love the idea of Cassie and Marco having a fling post-war. This isn't exactly an otp but the idea of them becoming best friends that only ever get like a few minutes alone together every few months for a few years, and yet they get each other. It's just. It's very good.

Cassie and Aftran should have been girlfriends for a while. One is a whale, the other can be a whale for 2 hours. It's perfect.

3. Brotp

Rachel and Cassie no ifs ands or butts. I do like Cassie and Aldrea together as a force.

Cassie and Aftran too.

4. Notp

...don't really have any tbh. I could be interested in just about any dynamic.

5. First headcanon that pops into my head

She doesn't morph for years after the war. It's not until she's asked by another estreen to morph together for beauty rather than for a mission/violence does Cassie remember the joys of morphing.

6. Favorite line from this character

NICE IS NEAT. I see NIN merch anywhere in the world and mentally I am chortling "hehehe. Nice is Neat. Hehehe."

7. One way in which I relate to this character

How she clung tooth and fucking nail to her morals. How she saw the easy ways out "they're bad so we are justified in anything we do to them" and continued to hold the line to what she would allow, no matter how much opposition was thrown her way.

8. Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment for this character

NICE IS NEAT. Also every goddamn interraction between her and Jake in the early books. They sat beside each other on the bus and didn't say a SINGLE word and they're both buzzing about the "close contact". Oh my god. So embarrassing.

Also she wears poopy boots to school. Cassie.... babygirl.... you can have nice shoes to wear to school, and your work boots for home.

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fav?

All the Animorphs kids are my cinnamon rolls, obvi. I should also add that when these books were originally coming out I wanted to be Cassie so badly it hurt. I adore her. She's everything.

So I think I'd call Cassie a problematic fav primarily bc she single-handedly made the gamble that could have lost the war based on her personal morals (not letting Jake murder his brother). And while I respect the hell out of her for it, and things technically worked out in the end, it could have been the moment they lost everything.

Speaking of social media, Eden runs a video blog on everyday life at RSA, usually filming videos outside while skating across the campus.

Flaws: Highly, highly competitive, holds intense grudges against people, can be really unlucky at times (although that’s not really her fault lol)

If the user tries to use this spell on themself, it will work, however the decrease in luck will happen after the 12 hours are up.

༉‧₊˚✧ THOUGHTS ON OTHER CHARACTERS

Kisumi (@windbornearchon): “Kisumi is probably the most upbeat, sweetest person I know! She’s always there for me, and I really really really like her a lot. She has a habit of stealing my basketball shoes though, which is strange but kinda endearing?”

The Itsuki Twins (@starry-night-rose): “The Itsuki’s are so cool! Honestly, they have an amazing sense of comedic timing, and they’re usually super in sync. Wonder if that would translate over to basketball, would they be able to predict each others movements?”

Samuel (@luvkamishiro) : “Sam and I (I think) get along pretty well! Though we’re both pretty clumsy, I would not trust us anywhere near fragile stuff.”

(Feel free to ask for Eden’s thoughts on any other ocs!)

༉‧₊˚✧ TRIVIA

• Eden literally cried tears of joy when she was accepted into RSA because her second option had to be NRC and she is terrified of Crewel.

•She has a pair of glasses but never wears them because they mess with her depth perception and that results in more skateboard accidents than usual.

•She started her video blog as a way to document her scrapbooking progress but then expanded it to as regular blog for fun.

•She literally cannot stand to be around lily flowers.

Send 🏅 to see a screenshot or gpose of which you are especially proud.

Obscure Screenshot Meme

I've been AGONIZING over this, since I have a ton of old screenshots of which I'm proud - I'll look at a photo-shoot and be like 'this is my favorite'... then I'll say the same thing about the next one! The first ones here are because I just...the lighting/shadows just get me (a character half in shadow is just a sweet spot for me, especially when it's thematic for them), the door's colors tying in with the outfit - and really, because I kinda accidentally made this outfit all on my own and fell in love with it! It's mostly Solona's stuff, except for the shoes, but all from different outfit packs... and I just like how the high-waisted skirt works so well with the Hilda shirt! (I also can't help but love the very subtle middle-finger Jak is giving in the first one - as if to say 'eyes up higher, pal!') Plus I just can't stop using Reshade's 'magic border' feature that makes screenshots pop, and I'll never not love that.

These beach ones are because once again, I'm in love with vivid colors!! Plus it's really, really hard to get a picture with the fireworks and time it just right - no matter what tools you're using, it's just about timing and patience, and... the ADHD means I'm not the most patient person when I'm excitedly waiting on something, so this was an endeavor...and then I ended up with several good shots with different color-bursts of fireworks, and was like... well, you can only cram so many shots on a post before it's cluttered, so I picked one with the green/yellow color burst because that's the color of her eyes! Here, I can toss out a couple other contenders - the double burst of fireworks for cool factor, or the almost-bi-colors for bein' heckin' gay! (I came very close to using that one, but the tie-in to her eye color was too good!) PLUS it has proven quite difficult to find a swimsuit that I feel good putting Jak in... one where it feels like she could feel sexy - but it's not just thin strips of cloth that make me feel like she's a piece of meat on sale. She doesn't mind people looking, but you can't give it all away! (It also cracks me up that the lighthouse lights are like, highlighting her butt? xD She'd approve, she's proud of her assets! )

Last but not least - I love re-visiting screenshots I tried to do when I was new, and tackling them anew now that I have a lot of practice under my belt. They're usually not exactly the same, but in the same or similar vein, as an homage - and this is basically what I had in my head when I first made Jak, and I had to use the anemos jacket as her leather jacket! The Streetwear set was a godsend for her, as well as the Yorha stuff, but I've never had any qualms about most of the base Miqo racial gear - Jak likes her skirt! As a former 'streetrat' as she was so 'lovingly' dubbed by her now-partner, she learned that if people are admiring the view, they're not as likely to notice that you've robbed them blind while they let base animal instinct distract them. But here, I get to finally envision her tattoos, her style, her attitude... I've been really working on my expression-work (it's not easy), because Jak is expressive! I want to convey a little more than the base emotes give, most times (though there's nothing wrong with a /sneer most days... I just want more brow movement sometimes! XD) Also! The Yorha explorable zone is just... top notch for Gpose shots for her! I'd love more diverse backdrops (And I do mix it up at times!), but this one is so often the best suited to her aesthetic, that I keep coming back and using different areas of it.

Thank you so much for this ask! Sorry it took a bit for me to decide...then I got long-winded, as usual!

[sparklecriticism]

FAQ

Please read the FULL THING before sending an ask. It’s not that long I promise you. Or maybe it is I keep editing it

What’s your name?

That’s top secret, just call me Mod Polly

Pronouns?

He/him, I have others but I’m not giving myself away THAT easy

Do you hate Sparklecare?

Absolutely not, if I hated it i wouldn’t have made this blog. I just think the fandom is god-awful and that the comic has so much wasted potential. I still regularly keep up with the comic’s updates, follow the blog (alongside the blogs for Kittycorn’s other various projects), and enjoy making fanstuff for it. I am heavily critical of all my interests, especially indie projects since I KNOW those ones don’t have to go through censors and shit.

If you don’t hate it, then what’s this blog for???

This is for me complaining about the fandom, and criticizing the comic. This is essentially a diary of bitching.

I don’t like this blog

Block me, this is my personal diary of bitching. I remember I was in your shoes once, and didn’t like to see criticisms of Sparklecare, so I 100% get it.

Were you sparklecrit?

No. Leave them out of this. They clearly feel remorse for their past actions. Now me on the other hand, I feel bad about none of this XD

Are you gonna post the preboot link?

Absolutely not. I’m not going to disrespect Kittycorn’s wishes. Like I said this is only my personal diary of bitching, nothing more.

Is your main [tumblr user]?

Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy?

Thoughts on mspec lesbians/gays/contradictory labels in general?

Cool as shit. Do what you want, conservatives want us dead. Polly is a bi lesbian also, she told me this herself.

Thoughts on the preboot?

It’s way funnier and way less “clean”, I’ll give it that. However, the reboot does a better attempt when it comes to characters, keyword attempt. I still miss Knot though.

Favorite character?

If I said my actual fave, I’d be given away. However, I love the side patients/side characters in general.

Least favorite character?

Uni. She’s treated by the fandom like she can do no wrong, and it feels like people only draw her. Because of this it sorta ruined her for me as a character. Sorry Uni.

Favorite ship?

Honest to god I see good chemistry/potential in all of them. I’ve never really been interested in Sparklecare shipping on its own but I enjoy doing it to analyze the characters and whatever the fuck

Least favorite ship?

Barruni. It’s the only one I see 0 chemistry or interest in, sorry. No hate to anyone who does ship it though!!

What about Cuddles?

Cuddles doesn’t feel like a character to me. He’s not interesting enough for me to hate that much. I don’t like him either, by any stretch of the imagination. I just forget he exists.

What do the tags mean?

“Fandom bitching” is for bitching about the fandom, “reboot bitching” is for bitching about the reboot, “comet bitching” is for any bitching regarding the Cometcare AU askblog, which will probably be few and far between let’s be real here, and “preboot bitching” is for bitching about the preboot because I WILL criticize the preboot as well. All criticisms/bitching will be tagged “sparklecriticism”. “Not bitching” is for general posts, and “Polly speaks” is for general posts from Polly. “Sparkleposting” is about my general, standard Sparklecare posts, usually regarding the version of it that exists in my brain. The "asks" tag is self-explanatory, and "your bitching" is bitching sent in by VIEWERS LIKE YOU!!!!!!

Are you trans/queer/nd/mentally Ill/disabled?

I’ve been a fan of this comic since late 2021, what the fuck do you think. Yes to all 5.

Will you be tagging character neg?

No. This is sparklecriticism what did you expect. I will however tag ship neg as “[ship] neg”, though you’ll probably only see that for Barruni.

Are you a troll?

No.

Why are you doing this???

I believe anything worth a damn is worthy of criticism. I also want to see if anyone else agrees with me here. Sparklecare is a spinterest of mine, I care about it a lot. It’s why I’m so harsh on it.

Sparklecare’s a spinterest for you?????

Yes, in fact the day I developed it as a major spinterest is the day I started being more harsh on it.

Why don’t you read better comics then?

I do, actually! If you wanna hear the comics I like send me an ask-off anon and I’ll tell you privately :3 webcomics in general are a spinterest of mine actually! It’s why I’m so harsh on them, because I KNOW they can be so much more!!

If you hate bitch on this comic so much, why don’t you make your own comic??

I already did, actually! I’m not sharing it to keep my privacy, but I do in fact have a webcomic! If you wanna see it, send me an ask off-anon and I might send you it in private

How would you feel if someone made a criticism blog based off YOUR comic???

I’d feel honored, honest to god. I would encourage it if you guys knew who/what the fuck I/the comic was

[wheelin-after-midnight]

Does bad grammar bother you?

As long as I can make out what that person is trying to say, it doesn't bother me in the least. Unless someone is asking me to check their grammar or read over something for them, I won't even mention it. I think it's really rude to insult people over grammatical errors or their command of a particular language. Especially if it's not within a context where things like that are genuinely important. Even then, you don't have to be a dick about it. Some people are disabled and use assistive devices to write or communicate, some people are elderly, some have serious injuries, not everyone has the same mother tongue, some people are multilingual and use multiple languages all the time and make mistakes. You just have no idea. There are much bigger problems in this world to focus on. As long as that person is trying, it's usually not that big of a deal.

Do you save your shoe boxes or any other box?

I don't save shoe boxes, but if I buy something new that was packaged in a box I will keep it for a while in case I have to return the thing or make use of a warranty. I also put a lot of things I wanted to keep away from Nippy in boxes I kept away in the pantry cupboard when she was smaller.

What's the craziest rumor you've ever heard about yourself?

It wasn't crazy, but "she's bi" (I'm not, I'm gay as hell...but I identified as such for a while when I was trying to figure stuff out) got spread around before I was actually out. PSA: this sucks. Don't do this shit. No matter how harmless you think you're being, you don't have any idea the kind of personal or home situations that person is dealing with or coming from. You are potentially making it very hard and very unsafe for someone else. All that aside, it's not another person's business to out anyone. It's that person's journey and they have every right to go at the pace they want, if they want, telling or not telling whomever. The end.

How many sweatshirts would you guess that you own?

Maybe like, 12.

Are you a fan of Taylor Swift?

I'm not. She's my best friend's absolute favourite though, so I'm familiar with quite a bit of her music and I don't mind a few songs. I'm just the supportive sidekick along for the ride when it comes to my friends' passions. I'll learn the songs, sing and bop along, listen to you talk about the discography, hype it up and ask questions even if it's not my favorite, because that's what good friendship and genuine support should be about. I love seeing the light in someone's eyes when they get excited about things they love that make them really happy and bring them joy. I know what it feels like to have that snuffed out just because someone hates you, is very self important, genuinely nasty or just for no good reason at all. If you love and care about someone it's not just about you and what you like or how that relationship can be of benefit to you. It's what you can give, too. I also just like learning things or being exposed to things I'm not usually or wouldn't choose for myself. It's not gonna kill me to go on a road trip and belt out some Taylor Swift.

What's the coolest name you've ever heard someone have?

There's a few. My friend's sister named her son Asher and I loved that name. It's not one you hear often around here.

What's your least favorite genre of music and why?

I don't really have a least favourite. I'm a pretty musical person and I love almost all music, generally. I just have genres I don't listen to near as much as others or ones I fall off listening to or whatever for a while. I don't listen to a ton of heavy metal.

If you wear make up, what's some good brands you'd recommend someone with very pale skin?

I'm not the person to ask for brand recommendations. I almost never wear makeup.

Do you usually complain a lot when you first wake up?

If Nippy sneaks under my blanket and bites my toes and feet, yes, lmao.

What did you last complain about?

That I had to pee really bad. This frickin punk cat was like "hello mama. Dis the purrrfect time to sit RIGHT in front of your wheelchair so you can't MOVE." I was legit arguing with her for like, ten minutes. It was a full on conversation. She was back talking me and everything. (she's an extremely vocal cat) Every time I tried to get her to move she'd move about half an inch away from my wheel and then look at me like, "that good?!" I finally broke out her full name and she moved for real, but omg. I thought I was gonna pee my pants. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

What's something you're thankful for?

My girlfriend. My cat. Music. I would say this apartment, but I'm not gonna have it for too much longer. :(

What era had the best music/movies?

Oooh man. I honestly love music and movies from the 40s and 50s to today, so this is hard. I'm gonna go with 80s, though. So much of 80s music was bangin' and I can think of quite a few movies I loved from then off the top of my head.

Did you ever like nursery rhymes as a child? What was your favorite?

I didn't hate them, but I don't recall having a favourite.

What do you usually purchase at gas stations? (aside from gas of course)

I'm never really even at gas stations, but occasionally I'll get coffee or snacks or someone might bring those here. I did get gas station pizza once when I was having a golden girls marathon and wine night and it actually wasn't bad pizza at all. I wouldn't typically choose to get that from a gas station, though.

Do you drink regular or diet soda?

I used to drink diet soda all the time. I don't know how I drank so much of it because if I even taste it now I usually think it's vile. I don't drink soda anywhere near as much now, so I'll drink regular when I want some.

What's one of your favorite artists/bands, and least favorite song from them?

I love so many artists and bands. I could go on for pages and pages about this, but Whitney Houston is my favourite vocalist of all time. Let me preface the second part of this question by saying that least favorite song by Whitney does not - by any metric - mean bad song. That woman could sang any damn thing, any day of the week, backwards, forwards, upside down and sideways. I don't think there are any songs of hers that I genuinely hate, but I do skip Greatest Love of All quite often. I know it's a lot of people's favourite, it was one of her favourites of her own catalogue, if I'm not mistaken. I just don't particularly play it that often. I have to be in a certain mood, idk.

Have you ever seen them live?

No. I was an adult when she passed away but I never had the chance to. I'll forever be salty about it. I did see the theatre showing of the remastered Durban, South Africa concert though, which was great. So that's something.

Do you go on walks regularly?

I physically can't walk, but if someone asked me to accompany them on a walk, I would, depending who it was.

Do very sociable people aggravate you or more shy people?

Sociable people don't aggravate me at all. I love when people actually engage me in conversation and look me in the eyes when talking to me and don't use disability as an excuse to treat me like a leper or talk to me disrespectfully or like I'm stupid or mentally disabled also. I'm pretty shy and reserved and quiet, so if I'm around people like that it might take a bit for me to warm up. I try to make other people feel comfortable though, if I see that they're like me and struggling or sitting alone.

Are you registered to vote?

I absolutely am.

Do you consider graffiti to be true art or just messy?

It's absolutely art. Art is open to interpretation. I'll die on this hill.

Describe something odd that you own.

Nippy! Hahahahaha. She's a very smart cat, I love her with my whole heart, but my god she's weird. She often acts more dog than cat like. The things she does just make me laugh so much every single day. I was originally supposed to take a different cat, but that didn't pan out. I questioned my decision at first and wondered if I was a good enough pet parent or if I could handle it because she's so high energy and absolutely fucking nuts almost all the time even now at almost a year and a half old. But I would absolutely die if anything happened to her at this point. She's saved me from so much grief and loss and I'm so glad I stuck things out and established a bond and routine together. I definitely made the right choice and I'm really glad I picked one with so much personality.

What last overwhelmed you?

Thinking about how much time I have left until I have to move. It makes me feel so anxious and so sick. All the time. I'm really worried about how it's all gonna turn out and if it doesn't go well, I'm stuck there. Makes me wanna die. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with no other options and I hate it.

Do you wear a lot of pink?

Some, at times. I wouldn't say a lot.

Do you currently have a fan on?

No.

Do you take a lot of pictures?

I take a fuck ton of pictures of my cat. My devices keep telling me I need to delete stuff or add more storage. I'm not deleting anything. I want to keep every memory of her. I know she's not gonna be with me forever and I'll probably outlive her and that thought just breaks me and makes it impossible to get rid of anything.

Do you like the name Aidan?

I do.

What is the first thing you said when you woke up this morning?

"Listen here, you fluffy little freak! My toes are not food! Do I grab your paws and take your claws in my teeth to wake you up? No. So let's not. Thank you!"

What's your McDonald's order?

I don't have a usual order. Last time I got something from there it was a double quarter pounder with cheese combo and a drink.

When did you last have a donut?

I'm not sure, tbh.

What's the longest word you know that you can accurately spell?

Antidisestablishmentarianism.<<< yoooo same! This is always my answer for questions like this.

Do you live in a city with more than 100,000 people?

Lmfao, no. I live in a place that's barely even a town and has a population under 400.

Does your name begin with B, L, M, T, or H?

No.

What do you do when you can't fall asleep?

Put the tv on, listen to music in my headphones, play a game on my tablet, talk to my girlfriend as she's usually always up late.

What did you last watch on TV?

I rented It Ends With Us on Prime and thank god it was on sale for very cheap and not full rental price, because I hated it. I thought it was terrible. I still can't really fully articulate why. Just really rubbed me the wrong way.

Do you know anyone who keeps a Christmas tree up year round?

I did this til like, May, once. A long time ago. But no I don't know anyone and I wouldn't do this now.

Who were you last in a vehicle with?

My mum and mum's husband.

What's the strangest video you've ever seen?

The stuff my brother sends me! Some of it is funny and makes me laugh, a lot of it I'm like... How do you even find this shit? Lmfao.

What country are you from and which country would you not mind residing in?

I'm Canadian. It wouldn't be feasible for me to live anywhere else for a lot of reasons even if I wanted to, but I've always wanted to visit South Africa. It's at the top of the list of places I'd choose to go first, if I could travel more.

What's something you care strongly for?

I love my cat more than anything. She's my child. I deeply care for my friends, how I can be the best version of a friend to each of them. I love my girlfriend with my whole heart and fall more in love with her all the time. I care about her needs and her feelings and how I can be the best, most supportive partner. I care about music and theatre and art, things that allow others to express themselves, make the world better, and bring people joy. I often have to remind myself that there is still good in the world through all the mess and darkness we're so inundated with. It's so much bigger than just my corner of it.

What goes best with dessert, coffee or milk?

I only drink white milk if I add protein powder and make like a meal replacement shake. It's often the only thing I can keep down during migraine episodes when I can't eat. Coffee is definitely my choice to go with dessert or sweet things.

If Kirby absorbed you, what power would they get?

Hmmm.

Who has better coffee, Dunkin or Starbucks or maybe somewhere else?

I've never had Dunkin. I love Starbucks, but it's expensive and I don't go there often. I love McDonald's coffee.

What's your go-to appetizer?

I love fruit trays with cream cheese dip, mini pieces of naan with siesta dip, chips with sour cream with shredded cheese on top, spinach dip, Buffalo chicken potato skins, loaded nachos.

Have you ever received a present that made you cry?

Oh, absolutely. I definitely cried when babe and I gave each other the rings our mum/Nan gave us that we wore all the time the first time we were together. There are others from other people, but that one sticks out and probably will always.

Would you rather read a history novel or fiction?

I would read whatever really, if subject matter held my interest.

What's something you are addicted to?

Mint Oreos. Hoooly fuck I love those things. Now I think all the other Oreos suck. I don't eat them often though because the store closest to me often doesn't stock them.

Do you know what time you were born?

No.

Don't you hate when you jerk yourself awake while falling asleep?

Ugh yes! The worst.

Nobody is perfect. Who do you think is close to perfect though?

She will say that she's not - and technically she isn't, I guess, cause no one is. We've had our problems and even broken up before, but I think my girlfriend is the closet thing to perfect that I could or will experience. Sometimes I'm just lying in my bed staring at the ceiling and she'll randomly call or message me, or something will just remind me of her or one of our conversations or something, and I'm just like, goddamn, that's my baby. What the fuck? What do you mean we found our way back to each other and she apologized and took accountability and proves herself to me every day and doesn't want to be without me? She survived her medical scare and didn't die and came back to me? I get to tell her I love her every night before we fall asleep and every day when we wake up and didn't have to say goodbye? Permanently? It's possible to be loved correctly after so much trauma? Is this real life? What? What is happening? Ahh.

Okay, my bad. I'll shut up now. Lmfao.

Do you know of any haunted buildings in your town?

No.

Do you think too much about your past or future?

Yes and yes. Send help. Lmfao. :/

Is anyone on your bad side lately?

A little bit.

What's the most random song on your playlist that people wouldn't expect?

I have a fair bit of Maria Callas, actually. Not a lot of people listen to her that I know.

Do you wish Bzoink would let you put music on your profile?

RIP Bzoink. You were the OG.

When did you last receive a business card from somebody?

I'm not sure.

What makes you want to take a survey?

Idk I just take them when I want to and have some time. I skim them to see if it seems like one I've taken already.

What song did you last hum or sing along to?

Seriously singing it was Grapevyne by Brownstone. Fucking around singing it was Wobble by V. I. C.

What TV streaming service do you use the most?

Netflix or Disney Plus, probably.

Would you try that flaming hot mountain dew? isn't that so wild?

That sounds nasty. I don't like mountain dew to begin with.

What's something strange that you enjoyed when you tried it?

Putting mayonnaise on hot dogs.

Do you own any adult coloring books?

Yes.

What did you last draw or write down?

I don't remember.

Do you always smile in pictures or what is your go-to pose for pictures?

I don't have a go to pose, but I don't always smile.

What's a topic you love discussing with others? share something with me about it (:

Idk I just love talking with people who don't shit on my passions or interests and engage me about them because I don't experience that much. I love jamming with other people who can sing or people who can play instruments, I love talking about music with people who really love music. I love talking to my friends about any adventures we've had or trying to plan other ones. I love talking about all the funny things my cat does and showing all the tricks I've taught her. I love deep talks with empathetic, gentle, understanding people. I love hearing other people's stories and when they trust me with things that they've been through or are really important to them. It means a lot to me.

Would you say that you're an outdoorsy type person?

I love summer, but otherwise I'm not super outdoorsy, no.

In your opinion, appearance aside, what makes someone beautiful and ugly?

Their values, their passions, how they listen, how they treat and interact with others, especially those who are more vulnerable or less fortunate than they are.

What's the craziest hairstyle you've ever had or would have?

I've shaved the side of my head once, then completely shaved my head twice.

Do you use matches or lighters more?

Neither.

Have you ever played pinball on a machine or just online?

Neither.

Do you have any chores you need to get done?

I need to do laundry soon, but I don't have enough to make a load worth it quite yet.

If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be of and where would you like it?

I plan to get one in memory of my Nan as soon as possible. Something she painted, with Nan underneath it, her birth and death dates, then "the secrets in your heart she's always known" it's from the song Mother, by Sugarland. It makes me think of her more than it does my own mum. She was more emotionally supportive than my mum is and knew me better than everyone and anyone. She was my rock and I'll miss her with my whole heart forever. She never put herself in the middle of things with me and my mum, though she often offered to. She knew all my deepest darkest shit I couldn't even tell my mum or anyone. Swore she'd take it to her grave and never say a word. And she did. That's the rarest thing in the frigging world. I'm so lucky to have had her. But I never would have been ready not to. It never would have been long enough. The grief still just hangs out in the pit of my stomach all the time. It's horrible. I miss her so much.

Have you ever had a bad sunburn?

Many times.

Have you ever seen a play? What was it about?

I've seen several. I go any chance I can. I used to be super into acting in middle and high school and I love musicals and live theatre.

Would you enjoy being famous or does it seem too stressful?

Oh, Jesus, no. It would absolutely ruin me. It's ruined too many long before their time. The money might be nice, but I don't think the sacrifice is worth it. The things paparazzi and crazed, overzealous fans put celebrities through is disgusting. Leave. Them. Alone. Just because they sign up to use a talent to make money and/or entertain does not mean we own them or we are owed every bit of their time or behind the curtain of their every day lives. Everybody deserves to have their boundaries respected. Everybody.

Nicky Valentino (from Fictif) is an absolute comfort character for me, which means I’ve collected some information about him!

I just feel like I need to share what I’ve gathered with others who might be interested! Feel free to comment any other facts/headcannons/etc you guys have, I love to hear what other people think or picked up!

First off, here is a list of actual facts that can be found in the story or stated by the authors of TATW:

* The story takes place some time after April 1925 (cause Nicky knew about The Great Gatsby), but before August 1929 (because the story takes place before The Great Depression) - which is a 4 year 4 month time difference

* Possibly before 1928 (which is when phones changed from the candlestick) — that would make it a 3 year time gap

* He keeps a small tin of dog treats in his breast pocket incase he stumbles upon a stray

* There was a 3 year age gap between him and his sister

* His birthday is on November 12th.

* Nicky's favourite animal is the wolf.

* Nicky’s zodiac is Scorpio.

* His favourite colour is blue.

* His favourite alcoholic drink is whiskey.

* His favourite dishes are lobster, PB&J and anything made by MC.

* His favourite books are This Side Of Paradise and The Sun Also Rises.

* He was born in Sicily, Italy. Grew up in South Brooklyn

* Nicky is Catholic.

* His crimes include bootlegging, racketeering, obstruction of justice and loansharking.

* He did not enjoy his first time.

* His first kiss was when he was 15.

* His celebrity crush is Gloria Swanson.

* His dad kicked him out of the house for dressing like a gangster.

* He used to shine shoes as a teenager.

* In Chapter 9, two of his other henchmen are named/called Johnnyboy and Richie.

* In Chapter 10, it's revealed that he has made several charitable donations to a homeless shelter, a boys and girls club, and the church he went to as a kid.

* HE SINGS SWANEE TO MC WHILE THEY DANCE ON A BRIDGE AT NIGHT (I absolutely adore this song, so I about passed out when I read this scene lol)

* He is big reader and likes to learn from the books

* He grew up with big dogs

* If he wasn’t a gangster he would own a dog rescue center or be a model

* He is left handed

* His parents are from the country

* He had lots of nightmares as a kid

* His sister, Sofia, loved daisies

* Central Park is one of his favorite places in the city

* He prefers blackjack over poker

* This man straight up had flower crowns for us to wear and dance in before the wedding (I’d like to think he made them with the help of a maid who taught him)

Now some of my personal headcannons:

* When Mc and him are riding together he sits in the seat diagonal to the driver, cause that is the most dangerous seat in the mob world

* An Italian pet name Nicky calls MC is ‘Cara Mia’ which translates to my dear

* If Nicky and Mc have a daughter they would name her Sofia in memory his little sister.

* Definitely has some children’s books scattered among his bookshelf, considering he said…

* He would most definitely do that thing where his kid stands on top of his feet and then dances them around the room

* Would be so down to adopt kids. Growing up on the streets, and having a horrible father, make him want to help all of the children in a similar position

* Would definitely want a big Italian family (if Mc was also down) cause he find family so important, and it makes him so happy to see their children. If Mc only wanted one kid though he would totally be fine, he is just so soft for the family dynamic and his kids

* (Ultrasounds weren’t a thing until the 1950’s, but let’s say they were created sooner) Nick would 110% tear up/cry seeing the first ultrasound, and once the baby is born and in Mc/his hands for the first time

* He LIVES for the cute domestic stuff. Like just cuddling and/or talking: ✅ Washing dishes together: sold! Making breakfast for Mc/together: a must!

* Nick has bi-wife energy and no one can convince me otherwise

* This man’s love language is 110% acts of service

And finally my last category for this list; all of the nicknames he calls MC:

* Toots

*honey

*(my)love

*sugar

*gorgeous

*baby

*sweetheart

*my one and only

*doll face

*sweet thing

*sweets

*my queen

[ masterlist + previous ]

YOU HATED MEETINGS AT WORK. It was always the same rules being talked about. Don’t steal other dancers' favorite clients. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat. The same rules could have been sent in the mass group chat full of all the strippers. However, you and your co-workers did get paid when you had meetings like this. The majority of the things your manager was saying were going into one ear and left out of the other. You were texting Toji, who was going on and on about how he thought it was important for you to know hand-to-hand combat to be able to protect yourself, now that you officially knew who Naoya was. Even though you've had to backhand slap a coworker or two for trying to steal your tips, you weren't exactly an expert in hand-to-hand combat. You knew that there would be a time when Toji or the others wouldn’t even be in the same room as you, and you should know how to defend yourself.

So, here Toji was setting up some training with Nanami tomorrow morning. You hated to admit that when you first saw Nanami, he was extremely intimidating. He has the ability to make you squirm in your seat with one look. The way he articulated his words could have had you thinking that he was a figure in the political industry, but he was actually a member of a yakuza gang. The way he carried himself was even better. You were extremely curious. What else is there to know about Nanami Kento?

Your thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice that you haven’t heard in three days. When your head shot up, your breath hitched in your throat and your heartbeat quickened. There Naoya stood talking to your manager as if he was your boss's closest friend. boss. With quickness, you're texting Toji. 

“Your cousin is at my job”, the text message said. “What should I do?” You quickly added.

You watched as the text bubbles appeared on your phone. You could feel everyone staring at you as you were about to send Toji another text. It felt like your heart was bouncing around in your chest and watching the text bubbles disappear and soon seeing that Toji had just read your message caused your heart to drop in your stomach. When you locked your phone and looked up, Naoya was giving you a grin. “It’s nice to see you again, beautiful.” He would say. “I told you that I enjoy playing games, so if spending three days trying to find you helps make this game fun, then so be it.”

You forced a smile on your face as you went up to touch your neck. A move you found yourself doing a lot lately considering that you had to explain to Toji that Naoya had your necklace. “Looking for this.” He held up the diamond necklace and you instantly stood up to grab it but he inched it out of your reach.

“Not so fast!” He said. “Let me take you out shopping.” 

Your eyebrows raised at his comment. All eyes that were in the strip club were on you two. “Shopping?” You questioned, head tilting slightly.

“Mhmm, you did say you wanted the best gown. I know a boutique that can give you that.” Naoya explained.

Shit, the charity ball. You were so worked up over your necklace being gone that you realize that you forgot all about the charity ball. You didn’t even mention it to Toji. “And I want the finest jewelry and shoes also.” You added with a smile.

Your task to seduce Naoya was going to be longer than you expected. Naoya would smile at you before he’s holding up the necklace. “Whoever gave you this could have done better.” He bluntly admitted while he helped you put the necklace back on.

You bit your tongue holding back the remark to defend Toji’s honor. You adored the necklace. It was a genuine gift from the guy you were growing to care about. Naoya insulting it felt like he was also insulting you. You watched as Naoya extended his arm for you to grab, which you were quick to latch on like a pretty sugar baby getting flaunted around. 

“Y/N’s done for the day, be sure to pay her for all of the time you wasted of hers,” Naoya told your boss who would only nod in fear as they watched Naoya guide you out of the club.

Expecting to see a personal driver waiting outside, you were met with Naoya’s jet-black Maserati car. The windows were tinted so darkly that you couldn’t even see the inside. When you got into his car, Naoya closed the door behind you like a gentleman. The once expensive scent you smelled when you were near him during the pool party once again trapped you. You had to get used to his scent, especially when it was much different than Toji’s. Both men had the scent of money—as if they spent hours counting yen bills as a thing on their to-do lists. However, Naoya had a more sultry scent. Making it obvious that a woman was once latched onto his arm while he sipped the most expensive bottle of wine.

You didn’t have much to say to him, but he was destined to break the silence beyond the JHipHop song that hummed out the speaker. 

“I know the owner of this boutique, she has styled me before countless times,” Naoya says as he was driving. 

Now, you were taking in how he drove. One hand on the steering wheel, his seat not that far from the steering wheel, but just enough space for him to be comfortable. For him to receive a lewd blow job from whatever pretty girl that was in his car.  “Is she styling you for the ball? You want us to color coordinate?” You questioned. 

“Yes, she is. I do want us to color coordinate.” Naoya says, “But whatever color you want to wear, I look good in any color.” He makes a sharp turn into one street that was filled with luxury stores and boutiques. 

“Mhm, we’ll see about that.” You bluntly say. 

WHEN YOU AND NAOYA ARRIVED AT THE BOUTIQUE HE KNEW THE OWNER OF, it was the same boutique that Toji brought you to. You just knew that the workers would be oddly confused, and you hoped neither of them would bring up your association with Toji. Considering how high-class the store was, you were hoping that they had seen many faces come and go and that they would forget you. But with each step around the boutique, pretending like it was your first time seeing each item, the one cashier Emiko that helped you last time noticed who you were. You made complete eye contact with her before she averted her eyes back to neatly put the diamond bracelets in the case. 

“Mr.Zenin, it’s so nice to see you!” A voice boomed as they exited out the back of the store. Their expensive red bottoms clicked against the shiny floor with each step they took and there a woman with brunette-colored hair stood greeting Naoya. She greeted him with a kiss on each cheek and a smile.

They didn’t greet Toji like this, you thought to yourself.

“What can I help you with today? You always bring such stunning women in here every time,” The woman gloated as her eyes then landed on you completely speechless. “Oh my! Oh my! What’s the occasion, Mr. Zenin? Please tell me.” The woman begged with such an excited tone.

“It’s a charity ball, this lovely lady said she wanted the best. So I came to the best AKA you, Emi.” He gave the woman a charming grin before he let his body fall on the plush seats that Toji once was sitting at when he took you shopping.

Emi would click her tongue as she waltzed over to you. Her eyes scan your body as if she was some doctor. She circled you letting out a low hum before her lips parted to speak, “I’ll be right back. Girl! Please go get them some champagne for our guests.” 

“Her name is Emiko.” You spoke out and Emi just shrugged without care before disappearing in the back. 

You watched as Emiko scurry to the back also to fetch some champagne as Emi told her to do. Naoya’s eyes looked at you as his eyebrows raised at you, “You’ve been here before?” He asked.

“Yes, I have a couple of things from here.” You admitted as you took a seat next to him. “Seems like you bring a lot of women here to be a man of standards.” You did air quotes on the standards part. 

“If I’m going to have a woman on my arm, I’m expecting for her to not look like a constipated nun.” Naoya sighed as he grabbed the glass of champagne that Emiko poured for the two of you.

You watched as Emiko bowed, “Please let me know if you two need anything else.” She says before walking away. 

“And you said you wanted the best of the best, this lady designed a dress for the prime minister’s fuckin’ wife. She is the best.” Naoya gives you a grin. “I need every man in the room seething with jealousy when I walk in.” 

“But why me though?” You scooted a little closer to Naoya. The two of you now sitting close enough for your thighs to be touching his that was spread apart like he was the king of the world. 

“Why not you?” Naoya countered. “You’re gorgeous  and seem like you know more than you’re letting me know.” His eyes looked down at the necklace and then at your face. 

“Emiko, please change our sign to close and ensure no one comes in,” Emi demanded as she was tugging a rack of dresses out.

Your lips parted to argue against Naoya’s words, but Emi cut you off. “At first, I was going to design a new dress because I have this beautiful yellow fabric that I believe will contrast your skin complexion very well…Miss…” her voice trails off searching for your name.

“Y/N.” You said out loud.

“Miss Y/N, yes! However, I remember this one dress that looks like you can fit it. It’s delicate, soft, white..” She went rambling on about her creation. “It reminds me of an angel, a beautiful angel. A Zenin angel.” She says out loud as she unzips the cover-up the dress was in and she took it out.

Your eyes nearly bulged out of your head seeing how beautiful it was. The words Emi used to describe it were as true as ever. It was completely breathtaking, from the white silk fabric that covered up the lower half of a person’s body to the top part that was dazzled in shiny white pearls. Emi clapped her hands to get you out of the fashion daze you were on. “Now please darling, let’s go try this on. I’m sure Mr. Zenin can’t wait to see you in it.”

“I know she’s going to be beautiful as ever,” He pointed out as he sipped at his drink.

You gave him a sly smile before standing up and letting Emi drag you into the changing room. The same particular one you were changing in when Toji took you shopping. You stripped out of your clothes before carefully putting on the dress with the help of Emi. You could hear her impressed hums and low squeals of excitement with each movement you made in the dress. As you admire your beautiful frame, you couldn’t help but smirk at yourself. You were beautiful from head to toe. Your boobs fit perfectly in the top portion of the dress as if it were tailor-made just for you. The silk lower half of the dress hugged every curve perfectly. 

“I don’t even think I need to do much tailoring,” Emi said as she was walking around you similar to what she did earlier. “It’s perfect for you, love.” She says. “Hmm, it’s just missing a little something.” Her finger tapped at her chin in a thinking stance.

You opened your mouth to ask for the price of it, but Emiko came rushing in. “Miss Emi, I tried to stop this guy from coming into the store but he just charged in. I uh—I’m sorry.” Emiko ranted.

Emi rolls her eyes before she’s leaving you alone to admire your beauty once again. You were going to take a couple of men's breath away with this dress. You let your hand glide down your body before eventually hearing the loud commotion outside the dressing room. You didn’t want to remove the dress without the help of Emi, so you lifted the end of the dress before following the sound. When you exit the dressing room area, there you see Toji clutching Naoya's expensive button-down shirt by the collar. His eyes glared at Naoya as if he wanted to shake him like a rag doll.

“Do it Toji! Hit me! You always were the one with the temper when somebody outsmarted you. I was right all along, I knew she was friends with you. What type of nonsense are you fuckin’ on?” Naoya spat rudely as he shoved his older cousin back.

“I should break your jaw right now. How about that?” Toji asked as he took steps forward.

Emi and Emiko were trying to defuse the situation, but that was no help at all. You took a couple of steps forward clearing your throat as loud as possible to gain their attention. “How’d I look?” You gave a lil slow twirl before flashing both Naoya and Toji a smile. 

It was as if your presence calmed both of them down. You would take a couple of steps forward, “Toji, I’m pretty sure he knew once he kept my necklace. I think it’s time we all just sit down and talk.” You explained.

“I don’t want to talk to this fuck face.” Naoya and Toji said at the same time. 

You rubbed at your temple letting out a sigh. “Emi, we’ll take the dress. Mr. Zenin will be paying for it. I’ll come back another day if you want to make any adjustments to your liking.” 

Emi would only nod before smiling, “Please Emiko go help Y/N take off the dress. While Mr. Zenin and I handle the transaction.” 

When you removed the dress, Emiko was sure to place it neatly back on its hanger and in the cover-up bag it was in. She placed it on the rack after labeling the tag to confirm that the dress was bought by someone. When you exit the dressing room, Toji and Naoya are still bickering, even after Naoya has paid for the dress. When you approached them, you would clutch your purse before speaking, “It’s a cafe down the street because we need to talk some things over, set some boundaries. Let’s go, my boys. But first, apologize to Emi and Emiko because of your behavior.” 

Naoya and Toji gave you a look while you crossed your arms over your chest waiting. They muttered their apologies claiming that they both will be sure to send donation money for their inconvenience today. You left the boutique with each man by your side. Bystanders would assume that the two men next to you were like your bodyguards just waiting to snap at anyone. When you stopped at the cafe, you would stop at this table outside that was sitting right near this beautifully grown cherry blossom tree. You would motion for Toji and Naoya to sit before standing up again, “I’m going to go get us some drinks. Any specific things.” 

“Just coffee.” Toji said as he slumped in his seat. 

“Same thing as you,” Naoya said as he gave you a charming grin. 

“Of course, you’re such an ass kisser,” Toji uttered as you were walking inside the cafe.

You would order the drinks and yourself a pastry and also tell the worker where you’ll be seated. When you returned outside, Naoya and Toji sat at the table, quiet as ever. You could hear the birds chirping happily as they were flying around. You let out a sigh as you sat down, “So, I don’t think both of you should be so hostile towards each other. Especially over me, it’s not worth it.” 

“This goes beyond you.” Toji firmly stated. “Just Naoya being Naoya. Not being able to keep his hands in his own jar.” 

“It’s obviously about Y/N.” Naoya rolls his eyes. “She doesn’t belong to you, Toji.” 

“Well, she doesn’t belong to you either, Naoya,” Toji responded.

“Not yet.” Naoya's lips curve into a smirk and you could see the corner of Toji’s lip twitch in annoyance.

“Fellas! Please stop, let’s get down to the business. Naoya, do you know this man?” You slid your phone across the table showing a picture of your father. It was one of the most recent photos you have of him. 

“Of course, he paid off his debt in full and—“ 

“Using my fuckin’ money,” Toji uttered under his breath.

Naoya rolls his eyes at his cousin before speaking, “And I think this guy I know has him. He had paid a little more than he owed and I wanted to return it to him.” 

“Return it? You not keeping it is very off-brand for you,” Toji said.

“Oh come on Toji, I have a little heart somewhere in here,” Naoya rubbed at his chest before snickering. “I think he owes this man I’m tracking money though. Sorry to tell you this my beautiful Y/N, but your father is most likely dead.” 

You sighed at his words before you watched a worker place the order you made on the table. “I figured. He was always borrowing money somewhere, I just don’t know what he would need all this money for,” You uttered. “Who's this man?” 

“I’m suspecting he’s the head of the Endo yakuza gang,” Naoya said as he sipped his frozen frappuccino drink. “I've been trying to figure out who's the head of that gang for months now.” 

“It’s always been rumored that Endo yakuza have always been headless, for years though. Why start having a head now?” Toji asked as he leaned forward, getting comfortable.

“That’s the same question I was asking myself. I just want to find out who because they have their lousy prostitution ring in my district. I feel like he’s doing it on purpose to attempt to get me in trouble with the cops. I may not be the biggest feminist, but I would never stoop low to making women sell themselves to put extra money in my pockets.” Naoya said. 

“He could always see if you’ll say anything. If there’s no head, there has to be a representative that shows up at the meetings we have. It’s a known rule to not do business in people districts without their permission, we drill that in each other’s heads every meeting.” Toji explained. 

“Thank you! This leads me to my next theory of using this beautiful woman as my eye candy for this charity ball the possible head of the Endo yakuza will be at.” Naoya perked up in excitement.

“No.” Toji firmly said.

“No?” Both you and Naoya questioned.

“It’s too risky, I can’t have her getting hurt. If she gets hurt, I’m going to hurt you.” Toji bluntly admitted. 

“I’m not going to let her get hurt. Plus, I think it’s fair game if this move could help us find her father. This guy could have her father, dead or alive. I have photos of the two together.” Naoya explained. “Plus, she already agreed to the favor.” 

Toji looked at you, he didn’t know you already agreed on it. He realized that the dress you had on in the shop was the dress you were wearing to the ball. He let out a sigh, “Okay, but you can’t let her out of your fuckin’ sight.” 

“Of course, I’ll just handcuff her to me.” Naoya sighed in annoyance. “We’re going to steal the show Y/N. The most beautiful woman in Japan and the most beautiful man in the Zenin family lineage.” 

“You guys seem to not question the fact that this man could be running a prostitution ring if he is confirmed to be the head of this gang and he’s able to attend balls with freakin’ politicians.” You finally said. 

Toji and Naoya grew quiet as they waited for you to continue. 

“I don’t know, maybe I’m overthinking this but I just find it weird. It just makes you wonder how many politicians could know who he actually could be,” You sighed before sipping at your frappuccino. 

You would glance around your surroundings and just as you glanced up, you saw this man on a cellphone sitting in the back of a Benz truck in front of the cafe. The windows were rolled down considering how nice it was out. You weren’t wearing that many layers and some skin was showing today, but the eye contact you made with this stranger as he was on the phone showed that even with your last minute put together of an outfit—you had his attention. From his hazel-colored eyes to his nicely shaved smooth face. His sandy brown hair fell perfectly without him even trying. The most noticeable feature was the scar that lined upon his neck as if someone tried to snatch his life away but didn't cut deep enough. He wanted you to have his attention. He flashes you a grin before rolling the windows up after someone left the cafe to hand him a coffee. Then the car disappeared down the street as it drove as quickly as possible. 

Why did that man look so familiar? 

“Do you have a picture of the guy?” You asked. “The one you suspect of being the head of this gang?“ 

Naoya would pull out his phone and go into his photos app. He slides the phone to you, “The one in the middle.” 

Your eyes looked down and you attempted to mask your emotions. That was the same guy you just saw parked in front of the cafe. 

But he also was once a very loyal customer to you at the strip club when you first started.
