#his lack of social skills will never not be hilarious

I can’t even believe I’m writing this out but, apparently a lot of people lack critical thinking skills. Jungkook feigning lunging at jm is not evidence of him having ‘violent’ or ‘aggressive’ tendencies. This is mf Jeon Jungkook we’re talking about.
This is the way people behave with their friends - especially close friends. Dare I say, even couples can joke around with eachother the same way. It’s ridiculous how many posts I’ve seen reiterating that jk was never actually gonna hurt jm. Apparently some insecure people can’t operate the singular braincell that’s floating around in their empty heads.
The entire situation was actually such a gag because socially and culturally speaking, jm has the upper hand in their relationship. He’s the older one. Culturally, it’s pretty unheard of for the younger person to even think of doing what jk did to their elder. But, he can and he did because those two see eachother as equals. Rarely will we see them play into that age hierarchy. Jm occasionally likes to let jk think he has the power. We’ve also seen him assert being the older one if he wants to.
Also, jk’s reaction to Tae’s argument was pretty mild. He disagreed but, wasn’t disgruntled. As soon as jm also disagreed, he seemingly had a problem because:
how dare they not be on the same frequency?
The fact that Tae started the discourse but jm got the brunt of jk’s reaction is hilarious because again, jk feels comfortable enough to joke around to that extent with him. They’re equals in his eyes.
Let’s also point out that Jm took it in stride, playing along with that dramatic ass reaction. If he actually was hurt or the situation was serious (which 🙄) why would the editors keep that scene in the show?? It’s clear that some people only see jk’s value in what he can bring to their ship. If his behaviour doesn’t align with their fantasies, he gets slandered and accused of being a horrible person.
Finally - and I feel like this isn’t brought up enough - but, can we please emphasis that the topic of the convo was spam or pink sausage😭😭
#jimin#jungkook#jikook#the screaming crying throwing up is so unserious#I saw this post saying some people need to be resocialised and yep#stop villainising jk???#jimin isn’t a damsel in distress

Tea Culture
Genre: Drama
Rating: Teen
Pairings: Bi-Han x Reader
Warnings: stalking behavior, background death, sassy reader
Summary: Bi-Han sees everything you do.
I got the idea for the reader from tea.culture4 on tiktok. She’s hilarious. Watch her!! I put a link in the story to the specific video I was thinking about.
Note - I'm not your guardian. You read what you want. I can't stop you. If you don't heed the warnings, too bad for you, not me.
He watches you. It unnerves you to no end. Whenever he and his brothers come to Madam Bo’s, you feel his eyes on you. Bi-Han, the Lin Kuei’s Grandmaster, has a staring problem. You have a problem with him. Yet the more you’re mean to him, the more he seems to enjoy it. At least, it seems like it. He hasn’t killed you yet for the tea you purposely spilled on him, or the forgetting to serve him his portion of dinner. No, he enjoys it. His brothers laugh about it. Madam Bo has stopped scolding you about it. His big tips say everything he won’t.
But, your problem with him runs deeper than his staring problem or his lack of social skills. It started when you flaunted having a date after your shift. You were excited - Jin was beautiful. He was well-spoken, nice, and had a great ass. You checked it out every time you saw him bend over. Your date had gone well, too. Jin took you to an Italian-style place. It was a city over. You’d never had anything like it before. His smile lit up your whole room as he watched you enjoy the layered noodle and tomato sauce dish. He promised to take you to more exotic food places. Maybe, even out of the country.
You rewarded his generosity with your talented mouth.
A note had been left in your bag the next day: “I see everything you do.” A few nights later Jin was found dead in the river next to your small town.
You had the idea it was Bi-Han, especially when no one mentioned Jin again. It was almost as if he’d been erased from the town.
Your second boyfriend possibly met the same fate - you couldn’t be sure. He had spoken about leaving the country for a medical degree. He was gone and had left you a simple note of goodbye, however you were suspicious. Why didn’t he tell you in person? Why had he hinted at a life with you when he left?
You chewed on your bottom lip as you glared over at Bi-Han and his brothers. They were at Madam Bo’s for dinner. They’d also asked for one of your famous tea shows. You loved tea and enjoyed showing your skills off. Just not for the Lin Kuei’s Grandmaster. You were pushed out of your thoughts when Madam Bo thrust your tea tray into your hands.
“Go, girl. The sooner you perform, the sooner they will leave.”
You snorted at her words. Madam Bo liked them and always questioned you on your behavior. She didn’t understand. You couldn’t make her. With a deep huff, you plastered a huge, fake smile on your face and walked to the Grandmaster’s table. He sat at a large table, his brothers on either side. It was on a loft above the main floor. You purposely kept quiet when Kuai Liang and Tomas greeted you happily.
Sitting down across from them, you set the tray down. The porcelain rattled. Each cup you took off to display made a clink with the force of your movements. (https://www.tiktok.com/@tea.culture4/video/7317142997303315754?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7261002111268783659) You did your set, but as messily as you could. There was tea and water all over the table by the time you were done. The lid to the teapot was on the floor. You’d eaten more of the rice cakes than they had. Giving them a sassy smile, you got up and left. You hadn’t even served Bi-Han tea. You drank it from the cup yourself.
Avoiding the table for the rest of the night, you left the clean-up to another waiter. Sitting in the kitchen munching on some rice and reading a very worn copy of your favorite book after the restaurant closed, you looked up when you heard a shuffle of feet. It was Bi-Han. The fact he made noise meant he wanted you to know he was there. Suddenly, you realized no one else was in the kitchen. For the first time, you felt fear around him. Your eyes trailed over his hulking frame. He held a package in his hand. Silently, he set it on the table and pushed it towards you. Swallowing your feelings, you reached for the perfectly wrapped…gift? The item was wrapped in a blue silk scarf with what looked like pink flowers stitched in. Your name was beautifully written across a label. With shaking hands, you untied the scarf.
It was a book. Not just any book, but the sequel to the one you were reading. You hadn’t even known there was more to the story. Your fingers traced the title with reverence. You wondered if there was more after this one.
Looking back up at Bi-Han, you frowned. “Why did you give me this?”
“So you can see the rest of the story.” He answered, face and tone as neutral as ever.
You looked between him and the book a few times. “Do you expect me to thank you? You might get killed.” You rolled your eyes, throwing the fact you knew what he’d been up to with your two boyfriends.
The Grandmaster shrugged. “I expect nothing. Simply that you enjoy yourself. When you’re finished, there’s a third one.”
“I don’t want any more gifts from you.” You scowled at him.
His eyes narrowed. The fear you felt earlier was back.
“That’s not for you to decide.” He said. There was a pause as he tapped his fingers against the table. “We enjoyed your performance tonight. I’d like to see another tomorrow. Good night, Petal.”
You said nothing and watched him leave. As soon as he was out of your sight you wrapped the book back in the scarf and put it in your bag. You hated him, his stupid nickname for you, and the fact he watched you enough to care about what you read. Having your suspicions confirmed, you finally let it sink in he had his sights on you. The best you could hope for was he’d find someone more interesting and forget about you. Until then, you’d make sure to keep giving him the worst attitude possible.
He seemed to like it. A small part of you loved that fact.

Professor Mysterious and Professor Wet Cat
This is my take on that Dreamling post making the rounds about Hob and Dream being uni professors and that Hob is surprisingly NOT the prof who overshares and Dream is the one who inadvertently does.
Buckle up, kids, let's have some fun with this. Also, gentle reminder: NOBODY TELL NEIL. SHHHH!
This time around, Hob's using his proper name, Robert Gadling, because it's been a while since he's trotted that one out and he kinda likes the seeming rightness that the once upon a time near-illiterate medieval peasant that he'd been was now teaching at a rather prestigious university. However, he's not prone to sharing much about his personal life to his students. He's still warm and friendly, but he's cautious about letting Certain Things slip.
Hilariously, the things that do slip end up making him everyone's favorite university cryptid. Sometimes Hob slips into Middle English when he's stressed or emotional. Sometimes he might use odd old-fashioned sounding oaths like "God's wounds," "Holy Jesu," and "Mother Mary's teats" (this last one sends everyone into spasms of laughter).
The literature department ADORES him because they can always drag Professor Gadling off to read Chaucer in its original form or even medieval French, his pronunciation perfect and dead on. Shakespeare is the only thing he'll flat out refuse to read because in any universe this Fuzzy Blue Alien's gonna write, his hatred of the Bard is the stuff of legend.
The students universally agree that Professor G is basically British Indiana Jones, because he's also known to have lethal expertise in medieval weapons. There's been more than a few fantasies inspired during the booked-solid outdoor demonstrations where he works in tandem with the other medieval history professors to show everyone how medieval weapons worked. Apparently, his favorite weapons are the longbow, the bastard sword and daggers.
Obviously, this all leads to Professor Gadling being the campus crush and his relationship status is a matter of hot speculation even if he's made it perfectly clear he was not about to violate his ethical standards or position as a teacher. It still doesn't stop the fevered fantasies of more than a few grad students, though. But that's all they're gonna get.
And then, there's the new literature teacher, Professor T. Murphy.
To everyone's disappointment, Professor Murphy is only going to be at the university for a limited series of lectures. Word of mouth spread fast, and his classes were now booked solid and he was going to be asked to return, once his apparently very busy schedule is cleared.
7. Of course, he's an instant campus crush, with the "Goth angel" looks, the Edward Cullen jokes are definitely flying and there's more than a few students melting after they heard him speak. "That Voice" is always referred to in capital letters and it's well deserved.
8. "Campus crush" turns to "Official Precious Blorbo" once the students all discover that behind the whole regal and imperious Goth Prince vibe that he gave off, was an adorkable darling wet cat who was just completely gone on "my beloved." If he's discussing a love sonnet or poem, there's definitely going to be a reference to "my beloved" or "my dearest" or "my love." It's never sickeningly cloying and the sweet tiny little smile that takes over his normally serious face is like sunshine. The kilig feels are real.
9. He's also forever worrying that he's not enough for "my dearest" as he's rather painfully aware "of my lack in human graces" - which everyone translates to "OMG HELP I HAVE THE SOCIAL SKILLS OF A SCRUNKLY WET CAT." He frets that he's somehow failing his beloved, who is infinitely sweet and thoughtful and caring and that Professor Murphy is the selfish one, really, who doesn't deserve the man.
10. The students, of course, immediately ADOPT him. Tesco ice cream runs are done, YouTube videos on cooking and invites to kitchens are extended so Professor Murphy could practice making something that is "not a catastrophic culinary disaster unfit for human consumption." There was a session on the language of flowers, which everyone had enjoyed. For a while, flowers with significant meanings were presented to sweethearts and lovers all over the uni. There's an unforgettable after-class meeting in which the craft-inclined students teach Professor Murphy how to knit and crochet and he was really rather proud of the scarf he had created.
11. Professor Murphy's raven had been rather entertained playing with the yarn scraps. The students learn that the raven's name is Matthew.
12. And then, dashing, mysterious Professor Gadling finally peeks into Professor Murphy's class.
"The things I do for you, myne owne hertis rote. Bloody Shaxberd."
"But you do read him so very well, my love." And there it was, that tiny, soft, sweet smile, now aimed in Professor Gadling's direction.
Professor Gadling sighs and puts a hand over his chest. There's a very familiar scarf draped over his neck. "God's wounds, dove, warn your poor, long-suffering husband before you do these things."
"What 'things,' dearest?"
Professor Gadling waves his arms helplessly. The scarf slips a little, offering a tantalizing view of a purplish mark on his throat. "That thing!" He looks appealingly at the students, who are now all stifling their delighted giggles. "Look at him! My heart can only take so much!"
And that was how everyone found out that Professors Gadling and Murphy were actually happily married.
Incidentally, the Shakespeare reading, in which both professors took part, was a true kilig apocalypse. Instant campus legend.

𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 𝑶𝑵 𝑨𝑰𝑹! - hueningkai × fem reader
𝑺𝒀𝑵𝑶𝑷𝑺𝑰𝑺: When Y/N and her eccentric friends decide to host the 'Love On Air' podcast, they think they can heal the heartaches of all HYBE Uni students. But when love begins to bubble up behind the scenes, Y/N finds herself at the center of a messed up love triangle. While she tries to save broken hearts, a shy student, Hueningkai, does everything to win her heart. With clumsy dating advice, accidental encounters and a chaotic podcast, will love triumph or end up in a hilarious mess?
"Tune in with us guys, cause Love is On Air!"
TAGLIST (open, send ask or comment to be added) @full-sunnies @unh0ly-dr3am3r @enhacolor @mackjestic @beabeanice @beoms-sugar
masterlist • next
0 - the 1st heartbeating tune
[____ sets the camera on his tripod and turns it on]
Hey guys! Welcome to our first episode of "Love On Air"! I am ______, your loving hostess. I'm here alone in my room, venting about my second week as a freshman at HYBE Uni. And, let's be honest, it hasn't been a bed of roses. College is awesome, but my love life? Zero, nothing, null, nil!
[Pause to ______ adjust her microphone]
I thought studying at HYBE University of Media, Technology and Arts would be like fulfilling my life's dream but, ugh, it's not always like that. - she sighed. First, let me tell you about this group dance class, where I was trying to keep up with Choi Yeonjun's fancy but very complicated steps from the Modern Dance class. I thought I was slaying, but when he took a leap, I tripped and landed on my face! It was a complete disaster, everyone laughed at me and I left the room with my face redder than a bell pepper, but in my defense, my coordination skills are still developing, it's impossible for someone to become so good in the day for the night, but hey, at least I brought some cheer to the class, right?
[Pause while _____ chuckles to herself]
Now, let's get to the gossip! You won't believe the dramas that are taking place among our university colleagues. I have hot information here!
Do you know Eunchae? She was seen sharing a kiss with Lee Chaemin, the freshman of Performing Arts in the cafeteria. Not much is known about their relationship, but unfortunately some assholes took pictures of the two's intimate moment, posted them on Twitter and Eunchae was brutally canceled, with hashtag and hate messages and everything, poor her!
But let's be honest here, Chaemin is handsome, gentlemanly and Eunchae is one the sweetest girls in the campus! Whether they are actually dating or just getting to know each other is none of your business! If she's into a freshman 4 years older than her, good for her! Go for it girl, you have my full support!
But wait, there's more! Taesan, the Film class' little angel, is in love with the beautiful Minji of the Music class. But he never had the courage to declare himself because... well, he has an amazing talent for wrapping his own words. Who knew, right?
And last but definitely not least, we have the campus diva, Huh Yunjin. She has an army of admirers, but rumor has it that a mysterious secret admirer is spoiling her with the same cup of decaf coffee, but with cute messages of love! Oh my Eros, who is this anonymous romantic?
Now, let's talk about my own love snafus...or lack thereof. (laughs) As a freshman, my schedule is packed with classes, studies, and social events. There's not much time left for romance. But, hey, I'm here to help you with your love problems! So send in your questions and dilemmas, and I promise I'll do my best to advise you.
[Momentary silence]
Anyway, here I am, immersed in a sea of gossip and love stories. And I couldn't be more excited to help my colleagues at HYBE Uni navigate their emotional turmoil. So, if you have any love problems, be it romantic, friendship or even with your mother picking on you, send me your questions and vents on our twitter @/loveonair or right here on Tumblr! I'll be here to listen and give the best advice I can!
That's it for today, guys. Stay tuned for more episodes of "Love On Air" where love is in the air and chaos is just part of the package!
[she waves to the camera and ends the broadcast]
_______ was sitting in her room, snuggled in her chair while frantically editing the first episode of "Love On Air". She wanted to make sure everything was perfect for the launch. With headphones on, she would adjust audio levels, cut out unnecessary pauses, and add subtle sound effects to give the episode a funny mood to listen.
While the audio was in progress, _____ was also working on editing the video for YouTube. She tweaked the colors, added funny captions, and cut out some embarrassing scenes. She knew that visual appearance was important, so she wanted every detail to reflect the fun, upbeat vibe of "Love On Air".
After a few hours of dedicated work, she was finally satisfied with the result. She saved the audio and exported the video, ready to upload them to streaming platforms. Breathing in relief, she stretched and looked at her watch. It was late at night, 12:10 A.M. to be exact.
Deciding it was time to relax a little, she decided to dedicate some time to his favorite hobby: creative writing. She grabbed her notebook and her favorite pen and settled into her soft bed. Seventeen's Same Dream, Same Mind, Same Night started playing on her cphone as she began to scribble ideas and develop imaginary stories, humming the soft melody.
With her head full of ideas, she let herself be carried away by the music and the words that flowed in her notebook. Harmonious chords and comforting lyrics brought a sense of peace as she immersed herself fully in the art of writing.
As she wrote, she occasionally glanced at the Seventeen poster hanging on her bedroom wall. She smiled as she admired her idols, feeling inspired by their dedication and talent. The music continued to play, gently amuzing her.
In the end, the exhaustion of that busy day began to take its toll on _____. Her eyes blinked, her body was limp and she yawned all the time, so she put her notebook aside and lay down on the bed, still listening to the soothing music. Her gaze took one last look at the Seventeen poster before her eyes slowly closed.
As sleep enveloped her, ______ smiled, feeling grateful for the opportunity to follow her passion and do what she loved. With her mind full of dreams and her heart full of hope, she fell asleep, ready to face new adventures the next day.
And so, her room was peaceful, filled only by the soft melody of Seventeen's songs and the promise of a new dawn full of surprises.
A/N: A carat and a thinker? MOM, I LOVE HER! + keep this song in mind, it'll be important!

boyfriend!aki and ex-boyfriend!gojo
gojo takes aki shopping for clothes because he's personally offended by aki's lack of style. gojo has to literally drag aki away from the clearance section and insist he shop for something actually nice.
aki doesn't understand a single thing about social media, so gojo helps him. gojo goes on aki's phone and posts pictures of you and aki with the most ridiculous captions and emojis that are so obviously his doing and not aki's. "me and my smokin hot GF, obsessed with her! 🥰❤️😍😫 she's mine so don't even try 😏😏😏😏😌"
gojo invites you and aki out to movie night, come to find out gojo booked the tickets so that he is sitting directly in the middle between you and aki. he thinks it's hilarious.
you and gojo will laugh your asses off at something stupid meanwhile aki is just standing there like, "I don't get it"
aki is frequently yelling at gojo for showing up at your house and stealing all your snacks / baked goods and then promptly leaving. he also gets annoyed when gojo asks aki to bake extra for him (but aki always does it anyways).
gojo whines when aki makes him sit in the backseat when he's driving the three of you. also aki literally never lets gojo drive because he says the man's driving skills are horrendous.
gojo asks aki extremely intrusive questions about you and aki's sex life just to tease aki and make him flustered.

Yamato Hotsuin, for the ask game! 💕💕💕💕 (yes I do in fact love hearing this rant every time lol)
YAAAAA YOU GET ME
who? | only know their name | loathe | ugh | overrated | indifferent | dead | alive | depends on how you play I guess? | just okay | cute | badass | my baby | hot | want to marry | favorite
I love Yamato Hotsuin so much I chose my username in his honor, so there's that.
I don't think there's any aspect of his character that I don't like. I absolutely love his design. I love his lavender hair and his cockatiel fluff and his Matrix jacket and his military boots and his stupid tie that's like 4 feet long. I love that he looks like a mean, scary badass, but he's actually a weird little drama queen who thinks Hibiki is hilarious and criticizes other people for their lack of social skills.
I love that he's so unapproachable that he has no friends, but it takes him less than 24 hours to be on a first name basis with Hibiki. I love that his attachment to Hibiki is so strong that he only has takoyaki with him one single time before he decides that it's not only his favorite food in the world, it's also the first food he ever taught himself how to make. I love him threatening to slit everyone's throat when he thinks they've poisoned the only friend he's ever had against him.
I love that the Triangulum Arc's Golden End is Yamato's route, and a perfect culmination of the immense character development he goes through over the course of the whole game. I've probably played through Record Breaker a good 8 times, and I never, ever get tired of him. Yamato Hotsuin is my forever girl and I'll wax poetic about him at the drop of the hat. He deserves the world!
#radbox#ask game#devil survivor 2#yamato hotsuin#each-uisge-and-glashtyn#I love him and I won't hear a word against him#ty for letting me ramble about my specialest boy#people misunderstanding his character really gets my goat#of course he thinks a meritocracy is the answer#he is extremely 17 and has probably never met a peer as long as he's been alive#he's only ever had subordinates#not friends or equals#not until Hibiki#and when that happens he can be persuaded to change his mind#and when someone threatens to take him away he has the most glorious meltdown I've ever seen#love that for him

Kotaku is an outlet banned by square enix right? That's what I've seen back in april at least. Im asking because there's a clerith on twitter defending aerith from her questionable attitude with barret. Then they post a clearly biased translation by kotaku of the scenes on which the video is explaining the "right" translation. Perhaps their translation is right but is the interpretation correct? I never heard aerith to be equated to having a high EQ, if she did she wouldn't be willfully making the people around her feel uncomfortable like with cloud and tifa in OG and/or in remake. She's an insult to people with high EQ, high EQ people are sensitive, careful, and wise. A side note as well, they really do love to hold onto cait sith for confirmation huh? Even if this sham directly says that cloud is madly in love with aerith, should that really hold any value at all? He doesn't even know what's up with anyone really, And for someone to be called as "to loose someone so precious" cloud went idgaf afterwards her death. He was honestly really chill, he even went snowboarding chill (lol). It even took him 2 years and a sickness to remember, "oh yeah I have survivor's guilt". So precious that he couldn't even visit her grave and decided to pop his cherry with his true love under the highwind. Whatever, the mistranslation isn't even a big to begin with, I still don't think it's good what she did and Tifa has the right to call what she did as harsh, does this girl ever know how to read people properly? She just likes to assume that she made the right choice with barret, just like how wrong she is when she thought she can save the world on her own. Aerith, people forget that she lacked so much social skills and human interaction, if she didn't, why doesn't she have any friends then? Either way these cleriths are hilarious for accusing clotis of jerking off to mistranslations, projection much?
Ps. Im so stupid to look at the comment section on that yt vid. But seeing someone say jp translation is super pro clerith just because kotaku says so is hardcore peek cope. What is it with cleriths and missing critical thinking. Cait sith, mcdo, lego, kotaku, other unofficial platforms or sources are their only confirmations? My man, that's PATHETIC af.
That's the weird clerith dude who screams "I LOVE HER!!!" every time Aerith appears right? He didn't even bother to translate the entire game, despite saying he would. He only went up to Aerith's death and acted like the rest of the game is an afterthought where nothing happens. He's also very insulting to Tifa.
His translation may be useful for those small sections where he isn't a rabid garbage bag trashing Tifa and Zack and lying about Cloud's feelings, but in general it's total shit.
And yeah, the Cait Sith thing is just lame. Who takes Reeve's robot as a valid source over Cloud literally telling Tifa she's his reason for everything? And let's not forget they fucked, live together and have kids.
SE doesn't endorse anything that kotaku idiot says. They have their own sources and those all support everything clotis say because we don't fuck up the plot. We don't need to 🤷

4 for Fred for the comfort character ask?
comfort character ask meme
4 - what about their personality i like
i've mentioned this before, but fred and the evolution of his character/personality over the course of the franchise is sort of a special-interest-within-a-special-interest for me, and i'm always so happy to get to talk about it!!
i love the fact that, essentially, he's been made more and more distinct and enjoyable over the years by the writers just dialing up his enthusiasm to eleven. he's the leader of mystery inc for a reason, and that reason is he has the intense focus, planning skills and gung-ho attitude to land himself and his friends in a new mystery every week!! that and just how much he cares and believes in his friends' abilities, even when sometimes his control issues get the better of him. i love how, in the be cool episode gremlin on a plane, he realises that sometimes being in control means knowing when to hand the reins over to a member of his team more experienced in a particular skill. those little moments of growth for him are really cool to see!
continuing the point on enthusiasm, it's hilarious and so charming to see the writers' ability to take his enthusiasm and apply it to so many different things, especially in the movies. traps! summer camp! the circus! space! cheerleading! the list goes on!!! it never feels forced, it's more like you routinely meet up with your neurodivergent friend for coffee and they have a completely new hyperfixation every time that they're dying to tell you about. not having a consistent thing became his consistent thing, and i am so here for that kind of chaotic characterisation!!
aside from that, it's whole a bunch of little things that i like! how he's crazy talented with his interest in traps/mystery solving but sometimes lacks common sense and social skills. how he seems well put together but can be so very unhinged (/affectionate). how he hyperfocuses and fails to take care of himself (very relatable). how genuine and dorky and undeniably autistic he is overall. truly no one is doing it like frederick herman jones
#OH GOD I HAVE WRITTEN YET ANOTHER ESSAY FOR AN ASK MEME#i see fred jones and type a fifty page essay before promptly transforming into the autism creature#goodnight coolsville ohio#scooby doo#fred jones#nem askbox :D

THIS PACK I SWEAR! XD <3
There were so many hilarious and adorable and wonderful small little moments in there, and because I'm me, I'm gonna overanalyze every single one. You're welcome. XD
Okay we're gonna do this in groupings instead of in order of events, and we're gonna break them up with gifs, because this is what happens when I let it play for too long without stopping (maybe I should still be watching this show on Hulu--the ad breaks ensure I do my reactions in a timely manner XD), but it was just SO GOOD, OKAY?!
Lydia and Malia:
Okay for starters, why does Malia have chemistry with LITERALLY EVERYONE?! Like...what? Is that the work of the actress? The director?? The whole cast and crew??? I don't even know, but bruh, I ship her with EVERYONE. Stiles, Kira, and now Lydia (Scalia will come I'm sure--we just haven't gotten a lot of moments with just the two of them yet lol)--I mean, DUDE. Literally when she was leaning over Lydia's shoulder, even though she was hovering, I was watching and I was like "can they kiss?" XD XD
I swear, Malia is secretly in love with everyone in the pack, and I seriously get the feeling that everyone in the pack is just a LITTLE bit in love with her.
Sorry not sorry, but I do not make the rules.
ANYWAYS.
I loved those little moments between her and Lydia. The care and affection, but also the clear sass between the two of them was so great, but I also feel so bad for Lydia. Like, I appreciate that, as pushy as Malia is being, she's still trying to be helpful and supportive as much as she can, and the way her face changes when Lydia gets upset about how hard it is for her to control her powers and turn it on and off...it was just really sweet and also kind of heartbreaking and I just appreciate that, given how busy everyone else is, Malia wasn't letting Lydia go through it alone, and was trying her best to be supportive and helpful even with her lack of social skills.
So yeah anyways I also ship Malydia now. XD <3
(I MEAN LOOK AT THEM! <3 <3 <3)
Scott and Derek and Liam:
OMG stop. All things considered, this scene was literally so sweet and wholesome.
Like, obviously the whole Derek making Liam mad thing was an oof, but it was planned, and everything that came out of it was so sweet.
The way that Scott literally so softly said "Liam" and Liam just, like, immediately calmed down, but never stopped glaring at Derek. And it's so funny, because his glare is so intense, but he's so smol, so it's literally like an angry puppy I can't. XD <3
The way that he said "Get to class, Liam" and Liam just shot that last little glare at Derek and then at Scott (because moody teen), but obliged. Scott is seriously such a parent/big brother to this kid in their Alpha-Beta relationship and I love it so much. <3
The way that Derek just smiled at Scott after Liam walked away with the "You're gonna be good at this" and Scott just looked at him flabbergasted, but couldn't help smiling.
The way that everything about Derek and Scott's interactions in this scene was just so soft, with Scott doubting himself and worrying about all of the problems they have to deal with while he's still trying to be a student, but Derek remaining supportive and helpful and loyal as ever I just...
Ahhhh that scene was so wholesome and adorable in so many ways. I loved it. <3 <3
Sciles and Everyone Else:
Oh come on now. You HAD to know that most of the post was gonna be dedicated to Sciles. When is it not? XD <3
Okay, just Sciles first, when Stiles figures out that the assassin is a lacrosse player.
First of all, we freaking love Stiles, and we love his relationship with Coach. "Stilinski, if I could grade you on how profoundly you disturb me, you'd be an A+ student." "...thanks Coach." XD XD
Second of all, the fact that my boy FIGURED IT OUT! Let's go!! I love you, bud! (Also the way he was just holding the stick and would not let go no matter how many times Coach tugged because he was putting the pieces together we love this man.)
Third of all, and here's the crux of the matter, the way that Scott is watching the whole interaction and IMMEDIATELY turns to Stiles expectantly, because he knows his best friend, and he knows that he's onto something, and they just immediately lock eyes as they process the gravity of what Stiles has discovered like...I just love them and their bond.
And then we move into the scene with Kira (also really random quick aside, the way it transitioned into the scene with Garrett and Violet after this with the "who knows what else they have" and then "wolfsbane" was just freaking awesome anyways).
I just love everything about the banter in this scene, with Scott's insistence that the game should go on so they can catch him in the act (bonus points for Scira with the "I'm not afraid." "Neither am I." and the little smiles they give each other <3) and Stiles's insistence that they should cancel the game and be f*cking terrified, because (I love my boy XD <3), "these are professional killers, it's their profession". XD XD
I just love the back and forth between the two of them, because even when they're disagreeing about the best way to approach something, they're still thinking together and planning together and having each other's backs and acknowledging each other's concerns, and it's what makes them such a good team.
And SPEAKING OF BEING SUCH A GOOD TEAM!
EVERYTHING WITH LIAM I CANNOT I LOVE THESE TWO AND THEIR CHILD! XD <3
The way that Scott is watching Liam so closely as he storms over to Brett.
The way that Scott whispers what, according to the subtitles, is an "oh shit" and then just grabs for Stiles and they both book it.
The way they go with their classic brains and brawn team-up with Scott pulling Liam away and Stiles being the distraction as the charismatic and hilarious little charmer that he is.
The way that Scott and Stiles just drag Liam to the locker room (Stiles's little "go" after they turn away from Brett and crew XD) and shove him against the shower together repeatedly until he finally calms down.
The way that Scott is the softer, chiller, concerned, supportive "you're not in trouble, just tell us what happened" parent while Stiles is the harder, harsher, annoyed, disciplining "I will ground you regardless" parent during this whole conversation, and their facial expressions match that perfectly.
The way that Stiles is still bantering with Scott and is unafraid to express his exasperation with this “I cannot believe what you got us into" at this whole situation while Scott is just metaphorically rolling his eyes with this "I'm working on it and you're not helping".
The way that Stiles backs off to let Scott make the final judgement call, but also nods his approval at said judgement call.
The way that Scott softens up even more at the "especially if you're there" and Stiles runs a hand down his face because he knows that means they're probably gonna let him play.
The way that Liam is already willing to out his friend, no preamble required, because he already trusts Sciles's judgement and analyses, and if his friend's a threat, he wants them to know.
The way that these three just have the best bonding and best dynamic I just...
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!
SO EXCITED THAT I GET SO MUCH OF THIS!!!
SCILES AND LIAM FOR THE WIN!!!
SCILES AS PARENTS IS LITERALLY THE BEST!!!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
(This was the only gif I could find, but it works. XD <3 <3)
Anyways…
That post took forever. I really need to get better at that. XD
BUT I LOVE SCILES AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE THEM WITH LIAM AND I JUST LOVE ALL OF THE RELATIONSHIPS IN THIS SHOW AHHHHH!!!
ANYWAYS.
Shall we continue? XD <3
(I don't think I've used this gif yet and it's my little trio so...using it! XD <3)
Update: Okay so I officially love Mason. XD <3 "I think you can take him. And then give him to me." XD <3 Also not enough of a reaction to do a whole separate post but DEREK IS LOSING HIS POWER?! F*CK that. Someone go get Kate NOW please and thank you.

My favorite moments (and some lines) from Inside Job Part 1
- Robotus saying “Did you say Brett? I love that guy”.
- Brett saying “Man, Reagan. Your robot is so sick!” while Robotus (now Alpha Beta) is punching him.
- Akira reference.
- Reagan says to Alpha Beta that Netflix paid millions for Friends.
- Mr. Mothman counting Regan’s HR violations.
- Rand swearing to tell the truth on a Godzilla 2000 DVD.
- Rand and Reagan trying to hug each other, but they felt uncomfortable. In Episode 9, they do a distance hug.
- Reagan telling her mother she is single by choice because she has a job doing very important things. Next scene is something not so important for her.
- THE DRONE THRONE!
- Bear-O starting to work at Cognito Inc. and everybody just accept it.
- “Power is attracted to me, honey”.
- Reagan calling an extraction team in her third date at the movies. The person behind them saw everything and says nothing.
- Brian’s first message to Reagan was a meme and a bad pun.
- Animorph reference (I never read the books, tho).
- “Do you have any idea how dangerous I’d be if I had zero self-doubt?”
- Brett and Reagan being confused watching J.R’s Sex-Deck history.
- “Brett’s got a point...”. Brett smiles. “...for the first time ever” . Brett’s face changes.
- Reagan not knowing any media or references from the 80′s.
- “Brett, I’d lie to you, but I just don’t respect you enough”.
- Myc falling from the plane, expecting his pants would work like parachutes but doesn’t work and screams.
- “We can’t let a whole town get killed on our watch. We’ll get fired. Or promoted? I can never remember how evil we are”.
- When the teacher said is okay to abuse the students physically because is “socially acceptable” in the 80′s.
- The interaction between Reagan and the Blockbuster guy. I don’t know why, but I really like that minor character.
- The Remakes song.
- The whole episode about the flat-earthers.
- Myc doing spoilers about the ending of Breaking Bad and Andre using his memory erasers to (re)watch the ending. As a person who didn’t see Breaking Bad, I kinda saw it coming.
- Reagan being confused about Rafe bringing a bear rug just to make a pun.
- Reagan “being direct” to Steve, but in reality was being mean or rude (maybe for her that means “being direct”, let’s remember Reagan lacks social skills). Then, she’s trying to break up with Rafe in the nicest way possible (character development), but Rafe is being so dramatic and behave like a victim and the people around her see her as the bad person.
- When Rafe texts Reagan “Wouldn’t it be so funny if we had kids? Just kidding! Unless...” and Reagan throws his phone and says “Fuck it” and proceeds to fake her death.
- Rafe and Skullfinger being gay to each other.
- “Goddamn it, can’t even enjoy my death in peace”.
- Reagan being far away from Rand and doesn’t care if she dies in the moon because “she’s already dead inside”.
- Brett and Reagan sharing their daddy issues.
- At the end of the Episode 8, Myc explaining that the moon landing was real, so the real Buzz Aldrin doesn’t sue Shion Takeuchi and the whole crew is funny. Also, the “Don’t sues us, Buzz Aldrin” having the same style font of “The more you know” is hilarious.
- Glenn dab.
- Brett saying a reference about an episode of South Park (Insheeption, S14E10). As a person who like South Park, I like that and I get the reference.
- Bear-O not targeting Brett because he knows he’s a good influence for Reagan. But Bear-O targets Rand, the person who built it.
- The disgusted face of Brett when her parents doesn’t care that Reagan is going to the dance with a stranger in their thirties.
- “I’m gonna tell you what I told Leonardo DiCaprio when he begged me to rig the Oscars. If you were the best, ya woulda won”.
- Andre destroying the Wi-Fi, so Alpha Beta doesn’t discovers what are furries. Even though, I think he knows what are furries, since Reagan connect him to the Internet in the first episode (specifically Facebook).
- “They [Furries] are a valid community. It’s not always a sexual thing, but usually”.
- Myc being sarcastic, in general.
- Brett and Reagan being best friends, of course! Thanks to Brett, Reagan is able to hug, improve her social skills and talk about her feelings. And thanks to Reagan, Brett doesn’t have to please or like everyone and is more assertive.

happy wincest wednesday z! what do you think we need MORE of in wincest fics/creations/meta? like we have a lot of tropes but what are we lacking?
happy wincest wednesday, thank you for the ask!
hmmmmmm I think, very unpopularly, that we need more appreciation for... what I'm gonna call normalcy wincest, lol. There are so many people who dig on the family horror posting and the Oh They Are So Awful And Toxic posting and who write, you know, Sam's gotta suck blood from Dean's nipples and Dean goes literally batshit murderously mad any time Sam looks at another human who's not him -- etc. And I get it, people dig that kind of thing. Fandom wouldn't be fandom if it didn't go to the most hilarious extremes all the time. This goes the other direction, too -- coffee shop AUs where everything's sweetness and light and there's never been any conflict are the exact same thing as the jealous cannibal stump fucking; the set dressing is different, but it's still eXtreme.
What I find so interesting about the show, though, is how... totally 'normal' they are, most of the time, specifically because that normalcy really highlights the moments when they aren't. By 'normal' I mean -- they're socialized... pretty normally. Sam and Dean are both attractive (ostensibly-)straight white men with great social skills who treat each other like pretty regular brothers... I'm gonna say 89% of the time. Considering how they were raised and the nature of their job and the various layers of WILDLY traumatic things that have happened to them, this Should Not Be The Case. But it is! Isn't that weird, all by itself?
Of course, some people who do their horrorposting or their sugarposting are doing it in a 'fix-it' way, because they think it would make more sense (or be wish-fulfillment) for the show to be more like their meta or fic or whatever. Or they're just doing for the lulz, which is equally valid. But that contrast is what I looove. I just LOVE that Sam can be ragging on Dean for some normal brotherly thing, and then Dean is missing and Sam's like torturing civilians to get him back. Nutty! Rad! It would be way less interesting to me if the torture were preceded by Sam keeping vials of Dean's blood in his underwear drawer to sip from every night like a glass of warm milk.
So -- that, I guess. And I know it's not nearly as fun, and I know from sad experience that it's WAY not popular, but -- it's what I like, so I wish there were more of it!
#happy wincest wednesday#answers#i think part of it too#is that the realism of presentation#makes it easier to buy the ways they're mad for each other#if they're always high-octane baroque#they're just kinda... risible to me#and then i don't buy the love *either*

For the flowery oc asks 🌹
Celestine - Rose, Lily, and Wisteria!
Hi! :D Thank you sooo much for the question(s) 🥺💖
For Celestine:
Rose - What is your OC's favourite form of self-care?
Well, for starters, she is certainly the “I’m just going to lock myself in my room for the next three weeks because my face hurts from fake smiling and I’m one nobleman’s ~hilarious~ tale away from committing a homicide” type. She isn’t shy per se, but she is easily overwhelmed by social interactions and does not enjoy the rigid guidelines of noble society so she likes to stay in her room, the parlor, or in the garden a lot. She also enjoys reading as well as lazing around in her smallclothes (sometimes lying on the rug by the window to bask in the sun like a cat).
I could also see her taking occasional trips to the seaside for her physical health as well as to enjoy the solitude, simple living, and lack of responsibilities for a short while. Come to think of it, I believe there’s a dialogue line where Sebastian says he hasn’t been to the sea and only knows the Minanter River (which, iirc, he implies is not that impressive). So it would be nice for them to go together on occasion. (kinda wanting to write a little fic about this now 😌)
Lily - What is your OC's love language?
Hmm, I think it depends on the time period. As far as giving goes, much of her and Seb’s early relationship was founded on her straightening him out and training him into being at least a serviceable leader. Of course this was only out of a sense of obligation at first, but over time she developed a personal investment in his success and watching him heal. So at that time I would say the primary one for giving was acts of service.
When things stabilized, however, I think she trended more towards quality time (which is also the way she receives love). She is incredibly introverted and tires easily from socializing, but she has a very small group of people (primarily her husband and a cousin that she is very close to) who actually have a recharging effect on her. It is my personal HC that her and Seb both have quality time as a love language so they mesh well in that regard!
Wisteria - Does your OC have a skill they'd like to learn? What is stopping them?
I think she’d quite enjoy fencing. She is relatively familiar with the bow, but only because she was trained in archery since childhood, though she has never used it practically in any way. If she could go back and get into fencing instead, I think she would. Since none of her loved ones know a thing about it, however, the idea of interacting frequently with an instructor she doesn’t know is a pretty big barrier.
She spends a lot of time in the garden or staring out the window so I think she might have a passive interest in gardening. However, he doesn’t actually know a thing about it other than watching the professionals tend to it from afar so she’d be hesitant to meddle with it and risk damaging the aesthetic arrangements, killing plants, or introducing something invasive. Perhaps she could start indoors with a nice house plant though 🤔
#long post#i actually wrote this answer out this morning (probably in better words) but tumblr crashed so I wrote it again aha :')#oc: celestine#oc: tina#jun answers

Prompt: Create a sequel for Monster Mediation where Max and Lily are asked by the Monster Council to locate an AWOL monster. The monster, it turns out, left because the monster assigned to the child's mom never left, serving as a sort of comfort to mother AND child due to the abuse from the father. The missing monster has been hiding in the neighbours' pet's doghouse.
Monster Mediation: The One Who Left
Tagline: Double, double toil and trouble
Logline: Monster mediators Max and Lily scramble to track down a missing monster, only to discover the truth is more complicated – the child's real monster problem lies not with the missing one, but with the one who never left. In the midst of this tangled mess, Dusty and Sparky add their own brand of chaotic "help."
Synopsis:
Max and Lily are basking in the success of Monster Mediation when the Monster Council summons them for an emergency. Bartholomew, a fearsome Boggart, has vanished from his post - young Timmy's room. Timmy's escalating nightmares point to a missing monster, but Max and Lily get more than they bargained for when they enlist the "help" of their resident monster companions – Dusty, the grumpy dust bunny, and Sparky, the flamboyant sock imp.
Dusty, ever the pessimist, grumbles about the whole affair, preferring the comfort of staying under Max's bed. Sparky, on the other hand, sees this as an opportunity for an epic monster-hunting adventure, his flamboyant antics constantly getting in the way of Max and Lily's investigation.
Following Bartholomew's trail, they discover him hiding (rather poorly) in the neighbor's doghouse, attempting to befriend a particularly fluffy poodle. Confused, they delve deeper, and with Dusty's surprisingly keen sense of smell and Sparky's (unintentional) eavesdropping skills, they uncover the shocking truth.
The source of Timmy's nightmares isn't the lack of a monster; it's the ever-present Growler assigned to his mother, Agnes. Agnes lives in constant fear of her abusive husband, and the Growler's constant rumbling has become a source of comfort for both her and Timmy, a silent guardian against the real monster in their lives.
Challenges:
Max and Lily must navigate the emotional complexities of the situation, with Dusty's negativity and Sparky's impulsiveness adding another layer of difficulty.
Agnes, fearful and distrustful of outsiders, is hesitant to reveal the abuse. Max and Lily need to gain her trust while keeping Dusty's constant muttering and Sparky's flamboyant presence under control.
Confronting the abusive husband directly could be dangerous. Max and Lily, along with their "unconventional" assistants, need to find a creative solution to ensure Agnes and Timmy's safety.
Comedy:
The film retains its comedic elements through the interactions between Max, Lily, Dusty, and Sparky. Dusty's constant complaints about Sparky's mess-making and Sparky's attempts to turn monster-hunting into a dramatic performance create an amusing dynamic. Their presence also leads to some hilarious situations as they try (and often fail) to blend in with the human world.
Resolution:
Max and Lily, along with a surprisingly insightful suggestion from Dusty (who, it turns out, has a soft spot for children in need), decide on a multi-pronged approach. Sparky, with his surprising knack for distractions, creates a diversion to get the abusive husband out of the house. Meanwhile, Max and Lily anonymously report the abuse to social services, ensuring Agnes and Timmy receive the support they need.
Secondly, with Dusty's surprisingly persuasive grumbling (it seems the Monster Council finds his negativity oddly endearing), they negotiate with the Council. They argue that the Growler's presence serves a unique purpose in this case. The Council, impressed by Max and Lily's resourcefulness and compassion, agrees to a temporary exception, allowing the Growler to remain with Agnes on the condition that the situation is continuously monitored.
Themes:
Importance of family: The film emphasizes the lengths parents will go to protect their children, even if it means unconventional solutions.
Breaking the cycle of abuse: By addressing the root cause of the problem, the film offers a message of hope for breaking free from abusive situations.
Monsters aren't always scary: The film challenges the stereotypical portrayal of monsters, highlighting their capacity for empathy and compassion, even for the grumpy dust bunnies and flamboyant sock imps.
Ending:
The film ends with Agnes and Timmy safe in a new home, the Growler rumbling contentedly by their side. Max and Lily, with a surprisingly helpful Dusty and a slightly less chaotic Sparky by their side, receive a call from the Monster Council about another "disgruntled" monster – hinting at further adventures in monster mediation, filled with laughter, tears, and the occasional dust bunny hairball.
Comment: I learned that I could probably gotten something much better for the first poster by simply referring to dusty as a "dustbunny monster"...

ARRANGED MARRIAGE
-> Lyric thinks that this is, by far, the stupidest stunt either of them have pulled to complete a job. Not that Lyric and Cassian had worked together much in the time between when Lyric met him for the first time when they were in the care of the circus and now, but since he got a tadpole lodged into his brain there had been a lot of questionable decisions. Namely: anything involving his imminent survival and voyage to Baldur's Gate, his flirtatious nature, and their constant needling of each other ( if you asked Lyric. ) But this was beyond even that!---breaking into a socialite party in the Upper City, while a potentially hilarious party crashing scenario, was not the risk they needed right now. They should be focused on seeking out the last of the tadpoles, the details of the Absolute, or finding more strength to face it. They should be preparing. Lyric says as much, their mouth a downward frown that doesn't seem to reach anyone ( and Karlach is enthralled by the idea, ever a joyous woman wanting to experience all she can in the last moments of her life. Astarion is all too prepared to tell her details about the sordid lies and dealings of criminals mingling with snobs, and Gale knows too much history and not enough social skills. Lyric knows they've lost the argument for a bit of fun before it even started, but still they persist. ) They know it's important to take their wins where they can get them, and that overindulging on pretty drinks and too tiny foods might be amusing for a time while they look for more information on city inner dealings, but Lyric can't stand the idea. They won't, even.
-> That's what they said. But who would be stupid enough to let all of them go unsupervised, into certain social death? Not Lyric, begrudgingly. Forging some kind of invitation or finding an excuse is easy enough for most of their posse, but Lyric is the only member lacking any kind of history to their name and social credit; Cassian, ever ready to find new ways to make them grind their teeth, presents an easy and idiotic solution: no one would question his betrothed at such a party as this. The risk would be too great! To dare question someone's love, for money or otherwise, in front of dozens of peers---even when the bridge of their nose pinches with an incoming headache, Shadowheart agrees ( though Lyric can't be sure she isn't just interested in seeing the suffering of Lyric in too stuffy clothing, for laughs. ) And that was how they ended up here: dressed in a ballgown colored like the evening sky, some knock off glass "diamonds" wrapped around their bare throat, their heavy fur-trim cloak brightened and colored with a bit of illusory magic to fit it in. Lyric's arms were wrapped around Cassian's elbow in the way they had seen other young debutants do with their partners all evening, and they try to keep an expression other than explicit discomfort every time someone comes a little too close or talks a little too long. The corners of their eyes pinch when they smile a little too hard, nails biting into Cassian's broad bicep when they catch him casing a woman whose jewelry hung a little loose on her exposed wrists like a temptation for snagging.
"Dear."
-> The nickname, sickly in their mouth, is a near hiss as the ruffled edges of their skirt brush against his side. They won't deny he's handsome dressed up with Astarion and Wyll's guidance, but looking nice won't make their feet hurt less.
"Don't even think about it. If you leave me alone to this pack of wolves for even a second I'll never let you hear the end of it."

Liam had never been good with people. Before the incident-that-must-not-be-named, he used to make people uncomfortable on purpose. Now… well, now Liam was pretty sure all he had to do was show up to evoke that unpleasant feeling in others. He had yet to test it, but his gut told him that if he were to show up at the university or childhood home, an air of uneasiness and tension would fill every room. It would probably play out like a scene from a movie, the crowd suddenly going quiet as all eyes fell on the same point. Maybe he did have to try it at some point. Most of the time, it was not a fact that disturbed him. People didn't like him, but Liam shared the same sentiment. However, in instances like the one occupying him right then, when he was trying to actually form a bond with a person he liked, the lack of social skills played against him. Yvette, bless her, seemed to have more patience in her little finger than most people managed to develop in a lifetime — Liam himself included. He made a mental note to ask where it came from at some point.
Ah, so that explained why he had never seen her around despite weekly visits to the market being part of his weekend routine. He gave a little nod now and then, a simple way to participate in the conversation without interrupting her. It was odd. Liam had always loved the sound of his own voice more than anything in the world. But he was willing to give the spotlight to Yvette. She seemed different when she talked. More free. Younger. Or perhaps her age. Liam wasn't sure. But he liked her voice, and he liked the energy that radiated off her as she filled silence with interesting things. "It's a great farm market," he conceded, showing her a smile that bared all teeth. "So that means you don't have elsewhere to be? We could… eh… grab a coffee? I heard somewhere there is an entire show dedicated to how friends do that." Her next question made it falter for a second. He was pretty sure social norms dictated that here was where he lied — where he said everything was fine despite it not being that well. But he was also certain that went against the foundation of friendship. "Ah, well, thanks. I'm trying a new skincare routine. It's called fighting your demons with lack of sleep." In the end, he chose the third option, deflecting. "The horrors persist but so do I." He had read the phrase somewhere on the wide expanse of the intenet and found it hilarious.
She could see despite her words, Liam was still continuing to try and explain his reasoning for stepping in the way he had. Her brows knit together softly as she could see how in his head he was about the whole interaction and in truth, she couldn't help but be a little endeared by it. Still, not wanting him to continue to stress himself out over it, Yvette reached out and touched his arm, giving it a gentle squeeze as she threw him another sincere look. "Hey - it's okay really. I promise, I don't think anything bad of you for stepping in to help."
She gave him a warm smile as she pulled her hand back almost just as quickly as she had reached out. In truth, she didn't want to overstep too much, seeing as they hadn't even seen or spoken to one another since the day of his release. For all she knew, he didn't like her and wanted nothing to do with her. Or at least, that's what she had let herself come to the conclusion of when she'd not heard from him afterwards. That was until he was calling her a friend and Yvette felt her heart skip with joy at the notion. She could hardly contain the large smile that swept across her lips, lighting up her features. "Exactly - friends are there for one another. It's what they do." She said as she tried to meet his gaze.
She had put the ball in his court, leaving the decision up to Liam whether he really did want to talk to her, and to Yvette's relief he went on to mirror her words. Another spark of excitement and happiness warmed her insides at the smile he shot her which the brunette thought made him far more handsome than he already was. "I'm doing good. I had a day off from work and the kids for once so I came to finally check this market out that I kept hearing about." She said with a small chuckle. "But how are you doing? You look good - like you're doing well." she said sincerely as she looked him over for a brief second, meeting his eyes again with a warm smile. | @wutheringdevotion
