Personal follow-up to this post

I thought it'd be fun for me and @whitetape to share what dynamic we believe we are based on behaviors/vibes and what specific above actions we identify with/exhibit already. I will be referring to our bed as "our nest" when referring to the bed we share and will call it "my bed" when referring to the bed I slept in before Tape moved in/my own personal preferences. I will also speak as if we are in the omegaverse, currently. Tape will be referring to it mainly as "my/our nest" since he's the omega and nest-holder.

Irregular-child: Beta

TABOOS

we both have so many pictures of each other in our nest

mostly of just funny things that have happened in it

and funny ways tape sleeps for me personally

would never post one without tape's consent

BEHAVIOR

so my bed was never really a hub of activity before Whitetape moved in with me

I prefer to keep just blankets and pillows in my bed

though I have SO MANY stuffed animals that lived in the bed with me

(unfortunately, most had to be moved to other places in our room since tape moved in) (I wasn't too cut up about it though)

my room in general has never been a great reflection of myself as a person

this is likely attached to the amount of times we moved when I was a child

so when tape moved in, he was largely allowed to semi-redecorate our room to his tastes (which I don't dislike and like helping him with)

CULTURAL NORMS

in our relationship, irl, we spent most of our time in tape's bed when spending time at his house, pretty immediatly

I asked him about whether or not I'd have been allowed in his nest had we been in the omegaverse

NEW NORM: most omegas have some comfy chairs/a couch in their room for people to sit, as opposed to their nest/bed. If not, they don't allow people in their room

he said he likely would have been very lax with allowing people into his nest, mostly close friends and I definatly would have been allowed in pretty much immediatly

so not much different from irl

this also means that we'd breeze by the 3-4 month milestone

tape moved in with me when we had been together a couple months shy of our 2 year anniversary

this was due to personal reasons and necessity

so we also didn't adhere to that milestone either

but for irl standards, we have moved extremely fast in our relationship, even though we were friends for 3-4 years before we got together

it works for us, but if we heard about one of our friends moving as fast as we did, we'd judge the hell out of them lol

NESTS

so currently, all nest control has been given to tape

with the exception of every stuffed animal we own being in the nest rn bc we're in the middle of rearranging our room and tape is very upset

though the issue there is more about overcrowding in the nest than anything else

when we clean our nest, we stagger the materials

so we'll start small with pillowcases, next is blankets and then sheets/duvets (yes we have more than one) (mine has a scantily-clad fairy on it, her name is anastasia) (she was a christmas gift from my dad the year I came out)

my sister (alpha) also lives with us along with our 2 dogs

she often comes in and hang out with us in our nest

tape deliberated this to me, bc while he and her are really close, she's not a threat

this is bc she's 5 years younger than us and a teenager and not really a threat to me in term of tape being "my omega"

Whitetape: Omega

TABOOS

would definatly have a nest aestetic pinterest board

a moss blanket has been a need for a WHILE (hint hint, nudge nudge to child)

while we have many pictures of us in our nest, it depends on what is in the picture

for example if its a close up or you can only see a blanket or two, it's fine to post

anything that shows more than that, I would not be ok with posting

BEHAVIOR

my nest is very important to me

I spend 85% of my time in my nest

CULTURAL NORMS

I am much more lax about allowing people in my nest

my boundary for entrance into my nest is I have to know you well

so loose friends and people I've only met once or twice would not be allowed in my nest

when I lived alone, my best friend (@spaceyhiyyihlight beta) came over all of the time and we would exclusively hang out in my nest

since, I moved in with child, that doesn't really happen anymore

equal parts, child lives farther from her than I did and now we share the nest

NESTS

some omegas will put/do anything in their nest

I am one of them

for example, painting a ceramic goose, eating a large bowl of ramen that is 85% broth, keeping 2-3 notebooks with correlating pens in their nest or 1 of 5 water bottles we own

also child's laptop and several phone chargers

the star of our nest however is pinky!

he is my stuffed dinosaur I've had since I was itty-bitty

I cuddle him every night and will search for him in my sleep if I don't have him anymore

(child is very jealous)

dethklok sleep headcanons

Nathan… is a starfish. Sleeping with him is a fight for your life. If you don’t cling close or lay on him, you could end up getting pushed out completely. The good news is that he’s pretty bad at getting uninterrupted sleep, even without nightmares, so he’ll reposition often. His hair ends up everywhere. He knows he sleeps well when he wakes up with his hair practically up his nose. He does not sleep in moving vehicles: it’s a great way to end up with a splitting headache and horrible dream imagery of whatever everyone else around him is talking about.

Pickles… sleeps on his side, which has saved him from a death of choking on his own puke many times. He will wear socks to bed, sometimes even while he’s naked. Typically, he’s in his underwear. When sharing a bed, he’s a fan of boobs/ass as a pillow. Even alone, he’ll opt to prop his head on his arm rather than use a pillow. He sleeps hot, but would rather go without a cover than without socks most of the time.

Toki… sleeps in his everyday clothes more often than not. I can’t imagine he got to wear his pajamas a lot as a kid (even though Anya sewed something for him every Christmas), so he’s not in the habit of changing before sleep. Anything could be a victim to getting clutched in his arms and drooled on, which is how Deddy bear gets a lot of love, including the corners of the bedspread and his pillow. He’s mostly a side sleeper, but has rolled onto his stomach over the years now that he actually has a comfortable bed and doesn’t have to improvise with cots, pallets, floors, or the ground.

Murderface… is our stomach sleeper and resident sleepyhead. Him with nine hours of sleep is so different than him with six hours of sleep, but regardless of how much he got, he’s terrible at napping. Half the time, it makes shit worse. Sometimes, he’ll wear a wifebeater to bed, but he WILL NOT wear socks to sleep. Nope. Can’t do it. It goes without saying that he’s a member of the yellow pillow club, but doesn’t use a pillowcase as often as Toki, whose pillow is fucking orange in places. It works out.

Skwisgaar… has an odd sleep schedule. Half the time, he’ll sleep four hours, wake up for a while in the early morning, drink coffee, then go back to bed for two more hours. He didn’t used to do that, but it helps fight a hangover and prompts whoever is left from the night before to start moving on out. He sleeps at a 3/4 angle, usually balanced on a bent knee or crossed legs, so his hip AND shoulderblade lay against the slab/bed. It helps keep his hair out of the way and helps him avoid breathing other people’s morning breath. Sometimes he’ll think to tie it up before he sleeps, but sometimes he’ll end up with a cowlick anyway. He’s the best at sleeping in moving vehicles.

chapter 3: not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes is now posted!

READ HERE!

[beta-read by k, @expectingtofly]

As Sam, Eileen, Cas, and Dean work on their separate tasks fixing the damaged Bunker, they're surprised by an unexpected call from an old hunter acquaintance and the appearance of a beloved family member—a fitting bon voyage to ring in their next endeavor.

sneak-peak passage:

Dean is the first one to wake up the next day, yawning loudly with his arms outstretched before rubbing at his sleepy eyes. It takes him a moment to wrap his mind around where he’s at—rather than his plush memory foam mattress, he’s laying in his comfortable recliner, feet still elevated and covered with the Scooby-Doo blanket Cas bought for him last Christmas. Oh right.

The storm.

Dean rubs his eyes once again when he realizes the room is still enveloped in darkness—other than the faintest of light coming from the chair next to him. Unfortunately, it seems the electricity hasn’t miraculously started working again in the short amount of time he was asleep.

“Good morning, Dean.”

Dean jumps, startled by the voice, even though he should be used to it by now since it’s the same one that wakes him up every day—usually followed by a quick cuddle and kiss to the back of his head. “Morning, Cas.” He clears his gravelly throat and squints, adjusting to the side in hopes of getting a better look at the item in the other man’s hands. “Looks like you’ve made some progress on that sweater of yours.”

Cas pauses from knitting, turning his eyes slightly brighter and holding up the half-finished sweater with an early outline of two bees. “Being cooped up in here gave me time to work on Jack’s new sweater for this coming fall. What do you think?”

“Nice work, babe.” Dean leans over and reaches out to touch it, admiring the soft yarn between his fingertips. “Speaking of that, have you tried leaving the room yet?”

Cas shakes his head, wrapping up his lingering yarn and stuffing the rest of the craft supplies back into his reusable bag decorated in a sunset landscape. “I didn’t want to take the chance of waking you all up.”

“Well, looks like you failed anyway,” Sam’s voice pipes out from the couch as he sits up, trying to smooth down the back of his unruly bedhead. Lingering strands stick to his forehead from the static cling caused by the pillowcase. He lets out an unflattering yawn, scrunching his face and shaking his head to wake himself up.

[larrivex]

Homie u KNO I gotta ask u for the larrivex for those hcs

where they first met and how

i have no reasoning for this but i feel ghastly (with help from hopeless) first recruited larrikin who was STARSTRUCK but very good at hiding it. probably just in some random tent in the middle of ireland a few weeks after ravel was captured

how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved

OH MY GOD SOOOO LONG....... ok they met in 1850 they got together 40 YEARS LATER THEYRE IDIOTS. they both caught feelins pretty quick but larrikin dismissed his (he gets fleeting crushes often) and dexter did a terrible job of hiding his

who fell for who first ( if applicable )

hm.... i mean lbr larrikin saw him shirtless the first time and that cemented it in his mind they had to at least sleep together. then they had their longass song and dance through the centuries. i think larrikin fell for dex furst but def denied it for longer

where their first date was and what it was like

uh canon they. well they were a bit busy i dont think theyd have one? though tanith and saracen seem to count "lying amongst the carnage of battle" a date so i guess they did that a lot. larrikin lives au though it was probably some small beach along the countryside. they had a fun mountainclimb too! :D

who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? )

I HAVE A FIC FOR THIS. NO SPOILERS (ok small spoiler: 1890s ball)

who proposes first

they dont, really? they dont need it. i like the idea of them having matching tattoos tho (not just bc i want dex to have tattoo. ok mostly bc of that)

if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away

they TRIED. but theyre too fucking giddy and more than a bit handsy and literally everyone knew as soon as they got back

if they adopt any pets together

i think if they ever settled down (unlikely, neither are homebirds) they may get a cat. or multiple cats. and some dogs. they both like animals :D

who’s more dominant

they switch :)

where their first kiss was and what it was like

THIS ONE IS IN THE FIC NO SPOILERS (BALLROOM DANCING)

if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? )

OH MY GOD DO THEY...... they have sooooo fucking many. gag gifts from the dead men,actual sentimental things, little trinkets from souvenir shops

how into pda they are

oooh, depends. theyre not the handholdy sort but theyll sit closer together when theyre in a group, dance every opportunity, and random kisses when they feel safe

who holds the umbrella when it rains

thats assuming they even own an umbrella?? poor adepts are too used to having elemental friends

where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable )

anywhere and everywhere outside. beaches, mountains, forests... long walks in the middle of nowhere without stressing over being attacked at any moment are their favourite

who’s more protective

dexter. he watched larrikin almost die once, and its NOT happening again

how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ )

sharing a bed? pretty soon after they met (it gets cold in ireland at night!!! it was DEFINITELY just for warmth). tbh itd be pretty bad form to fuck when ur friends are light sleepers in the tent next to you idk maybe they got creative

if they argue about anything

after a few centuries you get most of the real arguments out of the way,but they probably have random spats about trivial shit randomly

who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. )

anywhere people wouldnt normally see is free game. dex is probably more into it though

who steals whose clothes and how often

dexter would rip larrikins clothes idc how built lar is dexter is 6'2 and larrikin is 5'9 MAX. larrikin will appropriate dexters old tshirts into sleepwear most of the time

how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? )

both of them in the weirdest position possible and taking up the most space, yet somehow still holding on go each other :3

what their favourite nonsexual activity is

physical? just lying in bed together. just in general? again, adventuring or going on some hike, or just hanging out with friends

how long they stay mad at each other

the longest was almost a decade (they can both be stubborn) but usually no longer than a week

what their usual coffee / tea orders are

black, but they both like to add sugar. theyre just used to going without

if they ever have any children together

definitely not

if they have any special pet names for each other

their favourite game is coming up with the dumbest terms of endearment. i think they would be overjoyed at "my beloved" becoming a popular phrase

if they ever split up and / or get back together

never officially, but theyve definitely had time apart

what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? )

somehow a mix of military neatness and frat house

what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like

considering it was the middle of a war, just chilling around a campfire with the rest of the dead men. they took care to place their tent much further away than usual ;)

what their names are in each other’s phones

in line with their petname game, they change pretty often. sonetimes the others will steal their phones to make them normal, after some badguy or another saw dexter hang up a call from "beloved wife" (changed by saracen actually, from something a LOT dirtier) and suddenly rumours were spreading of dexter vex having a secret mortal wife

if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? )

adventuring!! all the time. but they have special places to go on their "birthdays"

who falls asleep first and who wakes up first

larrikin for both. hes a light sleeper but god can he just drop on the spot

who’s the big spoon / little spoon

they swap!!!!

who hogs the bathroom

...am i allowed to say they uh. both do ;)

who kills the spiders / takes them outside

either. but dexter prefers to put them outside and larrikibs is taking after him

New Year’s Meme

this survey has been a tradition among my friend group for YEARS, but i haven’t filled it out since 2015 apparently. i’m not entirely sure why except 2016 was the year a lot of stuff changed for me, namely in that i finally got out of school in some form and started a new job, but i also had a few health problems that kept plaguing me (thyroid medicine being off, vitamin d) and my anxiety was all over the place. so here we go i’m doing it again and feel free to do it too if you want!!

1. What did you do in 2020 that you’d never done before? tried on wedding dresses. taught virtually. dealt (poorly) with drunk teenagers. performed in a pep rally. wore face masks all the time. i’m going to lump in living with someone. jon moved in october 2019, but i don’t think i did this quiz last year so. taught ap.

2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions and will you make more for next year? i don’t really like resolutions. they put too much pressure on me and i am a fragile person when it comes to setting expectations and living up to them. i did want to try to read more this year, and i maintained that until the pandemic, and then just kind of gave up requiring myself to do anything but live.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? i don’t think so. a coworker did.

4. Did anyone close to you die? jon’s cousin committed suicide in march or april. the circumstances were pretty upsetting. um. andy died in february, very suddenly. andy was my high school boyfriend for four years with whom i had a very... he scarred me in a lot of ways when it comes to sex and consent. it’s taken me a long time to unpack all of that. and i struggle with how much any of that was his fault or just bc he was a stupid kid too. our mutual friends had nothing but nice things to say about him on fb. anyway. he would guilt me into saying he’d kill himself if we broke up, and jon’s cousin killed himself over his girlfriend. so that was a complex part of the year.

5. What countries did you visit? none. literally the week before the quarantine, we went to asheville to visit jon’s cousin.

6. What would you like to have in 2021 that you lacked in 2020? maybe a different job? or at least some peace at doing mine.

7. What date from 2020 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? march 13 we cancelled classes and had a technology training day; the 15th we had another one, and then we were virtual the rest of the term. it was such a sudden shift and while i so loved working from home tbh, it was such a relief after a supremely shitty january/february work-wise, i still had a lot of keyed-up, stressful days centered around transitioning to being the senior upper school spanish teacher. i hate it!

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? writing 50k in the month of november. i have literally never done that before and actively reject nano as being typically unhealthy for how my mind works, so it was nice to do it entirely by accident.

9. What was your biggest failure? mishandling the drunken teenagers on that field trip in january.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury? i sit crosslegged in my virtual teaching chair and i did it so much that my ankle hurt for the entire summer.

11. What was the best thing you bought? we put a deposit on our elopement in ireland. jon’s wedding ring. (i didn’t buy my wedding dress.)

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? my best friend at work who keeps me sane and is represented by benny in my au, which other than the fact that he is not my sidepiece, is perfect he is crucial to my survival at work and i love him so much. (also he is gay and the french teacher so the benny parallels just keep coming). everyone who tore down a statue in virginia (and other places, but especially monument avenue). everyone putting their lives on the line during this pandemic.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? guess! but aside from all the obvious, i found out a friend of mine at work voted for trump. my work bff and i had been trying for years to sway his politics, but that had us both deciding to give up on him.

14. Where did most of your money go?  food, ALCOHOL. god., our savings account. i did a pretty excellent job saving this year, though a good deal of that is because jon moved in and makes more money than me, and also we split all the bills.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? my wedding dress but strangely only when i went to try it on after it came in bc after the purchase i was so sure i’d made every mistake possible. my wedding band. wellbutrin changing my whole life. and, last but certainly not least, the gay angel and the bi(lingual) hunter. i wouldn’t have survived nov-dec in school without that distraction. the election.

16. What song(s) will always remind you of 2020? the entirety of taylor swift’s oeuvre this year, maybe specifically “this is me trying”

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:  i. Happier or sadder? happier, i suppose, perhaps contrary to what should be the case, but wellbutrin is a hell of a drug. ii. Older or wiser? wiser. ii. Richer or poorer? richer.

18. What do you wish you’d done more of? reading. cleaning. exercising.

19. What do you wish you’d done less of? stressing. chaperoning.

20. How will you be spending Christmas? so, an update; last year was the first year i didn’t go to my mom’s for christmas. i was supposed to see her for thanksgiving last year, but she basically told us not to come bc she wasn’t feeling up to it (cool!), and we went to jon’s for christmas and my mom’s for new year’s. 

this year, obviously we couldn’t go to my mom’s. instead, we rented a little cabin by the lake. it was perfect; it was really really nice inside, the beds were SO SOFT, the pillows were the best things i have ever laid my head on, like i took off the pillowcases to try to find the brand. we had a little tiny christmas tree with tiny ornaments from walmart that we decorated. the 23rd, we went and picked up our wedding bands. we slept two nights in the (cold) back bedroom so i could wake up and look out at the lake. it snowed for christmas. :)

we opened presents on christmas eve, per jon’s family’s tradition. on christmas eve, we also went to his family farm and sat outside and hung out a little. every year his family does like a secret santa sort of thing and i got my first present in that exchange, which is notable bc jon and i are not yet officially married. i got a remote control car -- jon’s idea bc i couldn’t think of anything, and he was so delighted to hear that i loved playing with rc cars when we went to the beach as a kid.

christmas morning we facetimed my parents and opened some presents together. then jon and i marathoned mandalorian (after spending the previous few days watching several die hard movies), and then we watched wonder woman 1984 which was a bad movie.

21. How will you be spending New Year’s Eve? ok LAST year for new year’s, we were in a hotel room, so that was nice, bc it meant minimal stress with my parents. i had always wanted to go to this restaurant near us that has a special new year’s menu, so we did that. the night before or after i think we went to cheesecake factory, which was also amazing.

this year currently i’m tumbling and he’s playing pokemon, and in a bit we’ll try to time it so we finish schitt’s creek in time for the new year.

22. Did you fall in love in 2020? i re-fell in love with supernatural so that was nice.

23. How many one-night stands? 0. i submit we should randomly change question 23 each year to something more relevant to any of our life experiences.

24. What was your favorite TV program? what did i even watch this year. schitt’s creek. mandalorian. i mean obviously we know supernatural. the circle. are you the one (the queer season). pose. unsolved mysteries. we’re here! perry mason. watchmen. oh maybe that mcdonald’s monopoly fraud documentary. avenue 5. i’ll be gone in the dark. of those i think my favorite maybe is... pose or we’re here.

OKAY UM. on my 2014 version of this there were a bunch of questions about tv shows that i’m putting back in if only for the memories:

25. Which TV shows did you start watching in 2020? the haunting of bly manor, which we still need to finish. derry girls.

26. Which TV shows did you let go of in 2020? HERE’S WHY I WANTED TO RESURRECT THESE. here was my answer in 2015: “supernatural. goodbye, my sweet prince.” CAN YOU EVEN FUCKING BELIEVE

27. Which TV shows did you mean to get into but didn’t in 2020? Why? so far, queen’s gambit and that one on hulu with catherine the great. EVENTUALLY. 28. Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2020? fleabag. queen’s gambit. 29. Which TV show do you think you might let go of in 2020 unless things significantly improve? idk i drop things pretty regularly if they don’t entertain me 30. Which TV show impressed you least in 2020? GUYS HERE’S MY ORIGINAL 2015 ANSWER: “supernatural. :(”

anyway back to the rest of the quiz:

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year? every person who refuses to listen to facts and information.

26. What was the best book you read? killers of the flower moon: the osage murders and the birth of the fbi, or the his dark materials series.

27. What was your greatest musical discovery? well i knew about tswift so i’m not going to count her albums. i will count this song that jon played for me once in the car that got stuck in my head for two weeks straight and led me down into a great related-songs spotify playlist: through the roof ‘n underground.

28. What did you want and get? a wedding dress and a very specific kind of wedding band. a gay angel. a christmas getaway. animal crossing.

29. What was your favorite film of this year? idk i don’t know how many films i saw this year. maybe mucho mucho amor: the legend of walter mercado

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? i was 32. we went to an escape room with a BUNCH of people -- work bff, my old work bff and his wife (old bc he quit and we’ve fallen out of touch :(), the cool new physics teacher and his fiancee, and the aforementioned trump voter and his wife, before we knew... we went out for brunch/lunch after. it was pretty great!

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? not having to chaperone that school trip in january. dean being bi in english as well as spanish. cas just ilke, appearing in 15x20. not having to physically go back to work this fall.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2020? no! real! pants!

34. What kept you sane? jon. supernatural (in a way?). animal crossing for a while. wellbutrin! i haven’t really been able to detail this yet, but finally i did something about tumblr and my therapist making me think about adhd. my doctor gave me wellbutrin (bc i lack any official diagnosis and was on anxiety meds anyway, and he was like let’s try this!) and it’s fucking. it’s a fucking godsend. surprisingly enough, my students. trying to provide them a safe space has been a calming thing for me.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? jensen ackles’ silence. misha collins again, i guess.

36. What political issue stirred you the most? the summer was so fucking intense. i guess though it was me trying to exert my influence in a responsible way with my students without trying to try to make them feel uncomfortable but then one kid was a vocally upset trump supporter after the election and i had to try to defuse that situation.

37. Who did you miss? my old work bff. several old friends that i’ve fallen out of touch with bc i have no object permanence.

38. Who was the best new person you met? people i met through the spn resurgence!

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2020: if you manifest it in an au, it will come. no really though. maybe that expectations are only as important as i make them out to be.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: usually i have a hard time coming up with anything for this and i default to looking at my most played songs of the year. my most played song of the year received each and every one of its plays within the month of november and you can guess why. anyway see if this works

I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Take me back to the night we met - the night we met, lord huron

What Lurks Beneath the Surface - 1

After Sam’s ultimate sacrifice, you struggle to cope. When he shows up after months of being gone, you’re happier than ever to see him. That is, until you realize that the love of your life is much different than you remember.

Series Masterlist

Every night after Sam’s death you drink to him. there’s always a bottle of something in your apartment, and you don’t touch it other than to drink in Sam’s memory. Each day his absence hurts just a little more, and on some days it aches so bad you can barely make it out of bed to go to work.

One morning you call in sick and spend the day crying in your bedroom, hugging your pillow and sobbing into the stained pillowcase. You whisper I miss you one second and then curse him the next. Damn you, Sam, you think. Damn you for giving up like that.

And then you wonder if Sam even wanted to make it out alive. Maybe he wanted to die.

For weeks, you try calling Castiel. All you want is a friend, and you’ll take the socially awkward angel as a goddamn roommate if it gets you somebody to talk to.

Castiel doesn’t answer. 

Halloween is the first holiday to pass. Sam never liked Halloween, so you don’t dress up or decorate your apartment or go outside to hand out candy. You don’t even watch a horror movie; Sam was always there to protect you when the fake ghosts or monsters got too scary when you were little. Again, while tiny fists knock on your door, high-pitched voices yelling “trick or treat,” you repeat your ritual of drinking to him, making your count rise to exactly eighty.

Eighty days without your best friend.

Next comes Thanksgiving, and you make the long, cold drive to see Dean and Lisa. You spend three days with them, staying up late baking cornbread and cookies with Lisa, letting Ben teach you how to play video games, and the night before you leave, you and Dean go out to a bar and have a drink for Sam. 

It feels good to drink with someone else for once.

A few days after you get back home, you’re out getting groceries, and out of the corner of your eye, you think you see him. There’s the blur of a dark gray jacket and brown hair, and the height makes it all the more realistic, but by the time you look up, the blur is gone, replaced by a white-haired old lady who’s easily a foot and a half shorter.

You shake it off, thinking it’s just your overactive imagination.

On Christmas Eve, you’re sadder than usual. Christmas was your favorite holiday to celebrate with Sam, and now that he isn’t here, it seems pointless to do anything related to it. But your apartment is so dark and dreary that you finally decide that wallowing in sadness is getting unhealthy. You spend the morning cleaning up, throwing out empty cans and bottles and you actually decide to test out your dishwasher for the first time since you moved in.

After cleaning and plugging in an apple-scented air freshener, you go out and get a small tree and set it up on your coffee table. A string of little white lights and golden ornaments light up the dark green branches, and when you finally turn them on, they light up your entire living room. It makes you smile, and you go to your room, dig out your brand new Polaroid camera, and snap a picture. The flash goes off, and within seconds the little rectangle of paper falls into your lap.

You hold it up, examining the picture. It’s still not completely focused, so you decide to let it set and grab your phone. You take a quick picture of your tree and send it to Dean.

    < Merry Christmas! :)

A few minutes later, your phone chimes, and Dean’s caller ID pops up on your screen.

“Hey.” You answer the phone with the hint of a smile on your face.

“Hey, kiddo, how are you?” Dean’s voice is rough, but quiet, like it usually is after he’s had a couple drinks.

“I’m holding up,” you reply, “what about you?”

Dean exhales heavily, and you wonder if he’s alone and drinking his feelings away. “I’m… not okay, but I’m not going downhill either.” He clears his throat. “It’s just different.”

“Yeah, I know…” you swallow and look at the setting ink on your photo. “I miss him.”

“I miss him too,” Dean says quietly. “Lisa took one of the pictures I have of him and got it printed on a Christmas ornament, it’s hanging on our tree.”

“That’s sweet of her.” You smile. “Maybe I’ll come out for New Year’s Day, we can light fireworks with Ben.”

“Yeah.” Dean replies. The sound of a door closing echoes in the background, and Dean inhales. “Hey, I’ll call you tomorrow morning, maybe we can Skype or something.”

“All right,” you whisper. “Take care of yourself, okay?”

“Sure thing, kiddo. Merry Christmas.”

The line goes dead, and you toss your phone onto the table. The Polaroid still isn’t ready, so you reach under the couch and pull out the box of photos that you’ve collected over the years. You’re searching for one in particular, your all-time favorite out of over a hundred.

It’s an old polaroid of you and Sam on one of the few good days you had when you were younger; John had left the two of you at a mall while he took Dean to an indoor firing range, and the two of you had saved up enough for a Polaroid camera and some slides. In the photo, it’s Sam’s seventeenth birthday, and you’re holed up with the boys in a motel room with a ten-dollar cake and a bundle of multicolored balloons. Dean had taken the photo of the two of you right before Sam blew out the candles, and for once, the smiles you have in the picture aren’t faked.

You set the picture back in the box and reach over to reexamine your brand new photo. It’s a little blurry from the flash, but you reach over to grab a Sharpie and title it anyway.

You’re about to tuck the photo into the box next to the birthday one when you see something.

There’s a shadow in the section of the window that’s included in the photograph. A very human-like shadow.

You examine it closer, leaning forward so that the picture is illuminated by the Christmas lights. The shadow is clearly human, and it’s right outside your window, like someone is walking up the stairs to get to your apartment.

Mail deliveries don’t run this late, and you doubt anyone other than Dean has your address.

You rush into your bedroom and grab a magnifying glass from your desk. Flicking on your lamplight, you lean in to examine the shadow in detail.

The person’s clearly tall, from their position on the stairs and the height of your window. You move the magnifying glass a little to the left and freeze.

That profile… you’d know that damn nose anywhere.

You run out of your bedroom, down the short hall into your living room, to the front door. You wrench it open step out into the cold air, not caring that your bare feet are immediately freezing on the light covering of snow.

The only cars in the parking lot belong to the people who live there. There aren’t any fresh tire marks in the snow. You turn on the light outside your door and feel a hot rush of adrenaline flood your body.

Coming up the stairs and stopping right in front of you are boot prints, made by someone heavy enough to pack an inch of snow down and reveal the cement landing. You rub your eyes, thinking your imagination must be running wild, but when you open them, the prints are still there. You bend down and brush your fingers over the edge of the snow, examining the tracks carefully.

Sam’s boots. You know the indentations like the back of your hand, well over ten years of watching Sam walk through mud or through an old rain puddle had forced the pattern into your brain.

He can’t be alive… he died, he’s been dead for almost five months…

You’re pulled out of your thoughts by the sound of windows banging open, and you look up to see old Mrs. Alderman peering at you. She’s dressed in a pale pink robe and has her white hair up in curlers.

“Y/N, honey, get inside, you’ll catch your death,” she chides.

“I will…” you offer a smile and stand up. “Did you... did you see anyone just now?”

Mrs. Alderman tilts her head. “Out where, honey?”

“Here, by my door.” Your heart thuds wildly in your chest as you watch the old woman carefully.

She nods. “I did, tall guy, long hair, didn’t get a good look at his face.” She motions down the stairs. “He left a good minute before you opened the door. Looked like somethin’ spooked him.” She giggles raspily. “Thought you might have a boyfriend or somethin’ coming over.”

You nod and step back inside your apartment before she can say anything else. You don’t have anything of Sam’s that he could be attached to. Dean had taken his laptop and stash of books with him, leaving you with only the box of photos, but Sam didn’t know that half of them existed, and the others probably not enough to have a memory to hang on to. And Sam would never let himself stay on earth like that, as a ghost or spirit.

You go to the window and slide your curtains closed, blocking any view from outside before doing the same to every other window in the house. You grab the canister of salt from the top shelf in the kitchen and draw a thick line in front of the door, then over all the windowsills in the apartment. It seems stupid, but for the first time in five months, you feel like you’re in danger.

Sam had a lot of weight on his shoulders when he died, and you’ve seen the damage vengeful spirits can do, to both inanimate objects and people.

Finally, when you come back to look at the photograph, you collapse on your bed, holding the paper close to the lamplight.

The silhouette of the face, the height, the description Mrs. Alderman gave you… it terrifies you. There’s no possible way Sam could be alive, or that his spirit could make it to Earth. From the time he was six months old, Sam was damned to hell and nothing he could do could alter it. Demons are probably getting a kick out of knowing he’s down there, battling it out with Lucifer for the rest of time. Tears sting your eyes, and with a glance at the clock you realize it’s time for your nightly ritual. 

Slowly, like there’s a weight pulling you down, you rise from the bed and stumble into the kitchen. You pull a brand new bottle of whiskey off of the counter and wrench the top out.

“Miss you, Sammy.” You whisper, and then you tilt the bottle back and take a long, burning swallow.

You feel like you’re falling and you land on something cold and soft and wet. Your fingers tangle in what feels like long blades of grass, and when you open your eyes, the sky is white above you.

There’s a grunt, the THWACK! of a fist connecting with flesh and bone, and the sound of a body falling to the ground.

Turning your head to the source of the sound, you realize you’re in Stull Cemetery, lying not twenty feet from where Sam was standing over his brother, the fingers of one hand curled into a fist, the other hand holding Dean’s shirt with an iron grip.

Bobby’s lying a few feet away from you, his neck turned at an awkward angle. You remember now; Lucifer had snapped his neck before throwing you over the hood of the Impala, the force of your flight enough to stun you on impact.

“Bobby…” You reach out for him, touching his shoulder in a vain attempt to wake him, but he doesn’t move. You hear Sam’s fist connect with Dean’s face again, and Dean’s pleading with him to stop… 

Lucifer lets Dean drop to the ground, blood flowing freely from his nose and several cuts across his face. He turns away from you, looking out beyond the tall, black gates of the cemetery. You crawl backwards behind a tall headstone, cowering as Lucifer forced Sam’s body to revolve, his back ramrod straight, eyes narrowed, searching for any living thing in a place of death.

“Y/N…” Lucifer calls your name, taunting you. “Come out, come out, wherever you are.”

Dean groans from his position on the ground and looks up at the imposing figure above him. “Don’t you dare hurt her!”

Lucifer stops, and from around the headstone you can see the hint of a smirk playing on Sam’s fine features. You hide your face as he turns, and you hear Dean shout in pain as his head snaps back, slamming against the side of the Impala hard enough to knock him out.

“Now…” 

You cower in fear as Lucifer strides closer to where you’re hiding, his steps even and heavy on the damp earth, and fallen leaves crunch eerily under his boots. 

“You can come out and give yourself up, by choice, or…” he stops a few feet away from the headstone, and you hear him take a deep breath, “you can make me come and get you myself. Cas is gone, Bobby’s gone, Dean’ll be out for a while, and Sam...” he scoffs, “Sam’s screaming in here, screaming your name…”

You whimper and cover your mouth, tucking your legs up underneath you. You hear Lucifer pacing away, and you sign in relief.

“I could let him out, you know?” Lucifer says. “I could let you hear the agony he’s in, let you know how bad he wants you to save him. Probably because he’s too weak to save himself.”

Those words make you feel rage over fear, and you stand up from your hiding spot, run around the headstone, and charge the devil.

“You bastard!” you scream, and you raise your fists as your body collides with Sam’s and you strike at his face, kicking and slapping at him even as he grabs hold of your wrists and holds you still. You’re forced to look into his face as he raises a hand to grip your throat, and those dark, glittering eyes are the last thing you see before he flicks his wrist, and your vision goes dark.

You jerk awake, still screaming and crying. Your body is drenched in sweat and there are tears streaming down your face.

“It was a dream,” you tell yourself. “It was just a dream, it wasn’t real…”

Sinking back against the twisted sheets, you feel the darkness return, that cold weight that presses you down into the mattress and stops you from moving.

Sam needed you in that cemetery. Lucifer had said so. Sam needed you and you hadn’t done jack to save him. 

What kind of friend were you?

SIX MONTHS LATER...

You’re feeling good for the first time in a while, and when you get yet another sizable paycheck (you’ve been working extra shifts to avoid your apartment since Christmas), you take the opportunity to take a road trip and visit Dean, Lisa, and Ben at their new house. You stay for a weekend, reconnecting with Dean and poring over old memories of growing up with the Winchesters.

When you get back to the apartment on Monday afternoon, however, you have a bit of trouble parking.

Some asshole’s parked a shiny black Dodge Charger in your spot.

“Are you serious?!” You pull into the spot across from Asshole Number One and grab your bags. “What the hell is wrong with people...”

That night you take a long bubble bath to relax from the stress of travel. When you finally drain the water and slip on your brand new robe, you feel completely relaxed for the first time in months. Hell, you might even get more than five hours of sleep tonight. You towel your hair almost dry and toss the towel into a hamper before slipping on pajama shorts and a baggy shirt and pacing into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water from the fridge. You’re back in your bedroom when you get the scare of a lifetime.

Two large, strong arms wrap around you from behind, and one hand comes up to cover your mouth. You scream, but the sound is muffled and when you try to open your mouth to bite, you find that your jaw can barely move under the force.

Kicking wildly, you manage to land your heel just below your assailant’s knee, but their hold doesn’t loosen. You flail your arms above your head, searching out eyes to scratch or a nose to break. Your attacker pushes you towards the bed, and your legs go out from under you as they shove you down, hard enough to knock the air from your lungs. Gasping for air, your screams are half-silenced when they roll you onto your back, using their entire body to hold down your writhing form.

The gun, you think, get to the gun in the nightstand!

You manage to get your legs up and kick, hard. The person on top of you, now evidently male, grunts with pain and stumbles back as you crawl backwards on the bed, reaching for the only weapon in the room.

He’s back on top of you before you know it, dragging you underneath him and pinning you down. Again, he covers your mouth with his hand, muffling your groans and screams of fear.

No, no, please no…

Your lungs burn for oxygen, tears of fear streaming from your eyes and dripping down your face. You thrash around harder, hitting the body above you with fists that grow weaker with every second.

I’m gonna die… I’m gonna die tonight.

You let out one more gasping cry before you succumb to the darkness.

[foofygoldfish]

💘 + althea/judy if you dont mind!!

@geronimo-11

🥺🥺 thank youuuuu!

where they first met and how

their first meeting is pretty much identical to the one in the game - thea goes to lizzie’s to talk to evelyn, evelyn introduces her to judy, etc etc. they exchange numbers though, “in case [thea] has any questions about bds” 

how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved

neither of them are really quite sure? i can’t find the right metaphor but like... they went from flirting, flirting, flirting, to pyramid song.

who fell for who first ( if applicable )

oh, they both fell hard and fast lmao

where their first date was and what it was like

uh. technically their first date-date is pyramid song? technically.

who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? )

... see pyramid song?

thea asks judy on their first “proper” date, though - a text, asking if judy wanted to go to the old roller coaster down in pacifica, and then a night hanging out at the afterlife.

who proposes first

you know that one video where the two girls both planned on proposing to each other at the same time at the zoo? that’s them.

if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away

judy is physically incapable of not going 🥺🥺 at thea sljkdf

where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? )

they were somewhere east of vegas - thea had had a couple of bad days in a row, and both her and judy were afraid that they wouldn’t make it.

if they adopt any pets together

thea adopted mr. nibbles before they got together! he very quickly grows to like judy, and can often be found napping on her sweatshirts.

who’s more dominant

....thea

where their first kiss was and what it was like

technically? they kissed once at lizzie’s. thea doesn’t remember it though, and judy’s not quite sure if that actually happened or not... They both count their kiss at the lake cottage as their first.

if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? )

in a modern au/au where they stay in night city? yep. (my) canon? no, they don’t have room to carry anything like that with them.

how into pda they are

mitch teases them for how touchy-feely they are sdkflj - they’re never inappropriate, but they’re constantly holding hands and cuddling and thea really loves giving judy soft kisses on the top of her head

who holds the umbrella when it rains

thea, but she has nearly a foot on judy so... it just makes sense

where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable )

before they left night city?  they spent a lot of time at the afterlife and in reconciliation park. after? usually, they’d just go out to the edge of camp - there aren’t too many private places when they’re on the road.

who’s more protective

judy is constantly (ง •̀_•́)ง - it gets worse when thea gets sicker, and while she’s recovering from [insert way i save thea here]

how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ )

.....pyramid song.

they’d known each other for maybe... four months? three? at that point. i have act one taking ~3 months, with all the side jobs you do taking place then. the main story is a liiiittle more urgent and pyramid song is roughly a week or two into that

if they argue about anything

yes, but mostly like... 100% inconsequential pop culture stuff lmao

who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. )

... thea

who steals whose clothes and how often

thea’s shirts/sweatshirts are practically dresses on judy lol

how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? )

spooning or with judy burrowed into thea’s side!

what their favourite nonsexual activity is

gonna sound cheesy but - watching sunsets. once they’re on the road, they’ll stargaze

how long they stay mad at each other

judy can stay mad for longer, particularly after thea gets better - but even then, neither of them can stay mad at the other for too long.

what their usual coffee / tea orders are

judy takes her coffee black, but thea? oh, she loves the fancy shit. 

if they ever have any children together

eventually, they adopt a few kids! details to be determined.... later.

if they have any special pet names for each other

i am terrible at pet names so uh.... the canon one that judy calls v that is definitely escaping my mind at the moment

if they ever split up and / or get back together

they don’t split up!

what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? )

at first, they share their respective apartments, but once they join the aldecaldos, they have a simple tent - a pair of twin beds (pushed together to make a king sized bed) and a trunk, with the rest of their stuff thrown into their car. they swear it’s organized, they really do, but uh... panam would disagree.

what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like

oof. not good? it was when thea was still sick, so she spent most of the day in bed.

what their names are in each other’s phones

.... “thea <3″ and “jude”

if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? )

not really? eventually, thea starts to help judy decorate their tent - aka she holds the canvas still while judy paints it

who falls asleep first and who wakes up first

judy can fall asleep instantly. and she stays asleep. thea is a much more fitful sleeper - she doesn’t get a solid nights sleep often

who’s the big spoon / little spoon

thea’s the big spoon, judy’s the little spoon! when thea’s at her sickest, they switch it up, but usually that’s how it goes

who hogs the bathroom

neither of them, really

who kills the spiders / takes them outside

....panam.

( ❛ ╾ send me 💘 + A SHIP and i’ll tell you— )

[galaxies-unknown-a]

💘 Writon?

where they first met and how

Mettaton and Writer first met where Frisk and Mettaton would have initially met.- And for Mettaton, he was smitten at first sight. Writer... Not so much.

how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved

Mettaton flirted from the start, but Writer did not start to return affections until ~five months in.

who fell for who first ( if applicable )

Mettaton, dur dur dur-

where their first date was and what it was like

Their first date was a night at a local club- Mettaton and Writer danced, and kindaaaa stole the show of the whole club.

who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? )

Mettaton absolutely asked Writer (technically twice). The first time it was quiet because he knows about her anxiety, and the second (when they went public) he did with a giant concert.

who proposes first

Writer proposes first. XD

if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away

They kept it a secret initially (or at least tried to but it’s Mettaton so) because of Writer’s Social Anxiety.

where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? )

They were at Writer’s place, and Mettaton was sitting on the couch when he noticed a small box tucked near the base of Writer’s TV. He opened it, saw the ring... And turned around to Writer on one knee.

if they adopt any pets together

They so do. They adopt two dogs- a miniature pinscher named Cape, and a Shiba Inu named Jolt.

who’s more dominant

Mettaton, no contest.

where their first kiss was and what it was like

Their first kiss was at a Waffle House (think ‘highway-side restaurant’). It was 2:00 AM and Writer was tired, they accidentally leaned forward too much and oop- kissed Mettaton. The two didn’t really move for a minute..

if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? )

They actually have opposite-colored stuff. Most of Mettaton’s stuff is pink while most of Writer’s is black- so when they’re out in public they actually match up to Mettaton’s color scheme. However, yes, there are several things that are ‘couple-match’ in their house (the bed, mugs, a few jackets...).

how into pda they are

Mettaton is SUPER into it. Once he has the go-ahead from Writer he basically tries to get as much PDA in as he can.

who holds the umbrella when it rains

Mettaton, he’s taller.

where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable )

There’s a quiet little lake near their house, just far enough away from town that the two can chill in peace.

who’s more protective

Neither. Both are crazy protective.

how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ )

Shared a bed, and... A year and a half.

if they argue about anything

They do, but it’s rare.

who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. )

Mettaton. Hard to leave marks on metal, after all.

who steals whose clothes and how often

Both, Mettaton more than Writer.

how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? )

Facing each other, mate~.

DATING SHIP MEME

Status: Accepting

@bulletballet​ said: 😭 for whatever ships of ours that u feel like writing out!

where they first met and how: In English class at school. Nick bothered her for homework one day and the rest is history.

how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved: The entirety that their class read and did work relating to The Great Gatsby, so I’d say for a good 2-3 weeks maybe even a whole month.

who fell for who first ( if applicable ): Janie always thought Nick was cute, but I feel like Nick was the one who actually developed feelings beyond a silly crush but Janie wasn’t too far behind.

where their first date was and what it was like: I forgot the name of the restaurant you sent me with the pretty decor, but it was there! The date was honestly really awkward and that was mostly because of Janie. She sat there stiff as a board the whole time and hardly talked because she was so nervous. They most likely already had their first kiss at this point too, but the butterflies in her stomach kept her from acting out.

who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? ): Nick definitely asked Janie out first and it definitely happened when he was walking her home one day. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was right after their first kiss.

who proposes first: Nick! Matter of fact he’s probably the only one who ever brings up marriage in their relationship.

if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away: Flash forward to endgame Nick and Janie, Janie wanted the relationship to stay a secret just incase things didn’t work out between them again, but of course Nick had to announce it to his whole family and next thing you know the women in Cassandra’s salon was congratulating her on her new relationship. 

where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? ): I can see Nick being a little extra and setting up a dinner with his whole family and proposing to her then. Would she say yes??.....idk!

if they adopt any pets together: Why adopt when chowder can have more puppies that’ll go on to harrass Nick and Jerrold?

who’s more dominant: Please, power play is a big thing between these two. 

where their first kiss was and what it was like: It happened the night Janie met Nick’s whole family for the first time. He walked her home like the true gentleman he is and she felt bad for telling him that she didn’t talk to her mom about him, so she gave him a kiss goodbye to make up for it.

if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? ): Besides those gold necklaces Janie bought them all those years ago, I feel like they had matching varsity jackets or something like that when they were younger too. Something tells me young Janie would get Nick’s initals tattooed somewhere like on her leg or wrist.

how into pda they are: Janie hates it. She can barely stand private affection so she tries to avoid pda at all cost, but of course Nick just has to give her little pecks or hugs every now and then when they’re out.

who holds the umbrella when it rains: Nick cause he’s a gentleman like that.

where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable ): I feel like even as adults they still visit that restaurant they had their first date at often.

who’s more protective: Nick 100% homeboy was ready to deal with another anchor just for disagreeing with and dismissing Janie’s opinion.

how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ ): If Nick wasn’t in and out of jail as a youngin it wouldn’t have been that long, but I feel like they really honestly didn’t have sex with each other until they were in their early 20s. As for sharing a bed, not until their recent age of 40-something which is kinda crazy to think about.

if they argue about anything: Any and everything. 

who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. ): Nick. When then leads to arguments early in the morning at 3am with Janie screaming about how she has to cover them up for work now.

who steals whose clothes and how often: Janie did a lot back when they were younger. I just know she has a bootleg Bart Simpson shirt in the back of her closet til this day.

how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? ): Janie likes to lay her head slightly on Nick’s chest with his arms wrapped around her torso. It makes her feel safe, she won’t admit that tho!

how long they stay mad at each other: I mean the longest has been years, but with Nick out of jail and constantly bothering her even if she is mad at him; her tangents only last for a week or 2 now.

what their usual coffee / tea orders are: Something tells me they both like dark roast coffee. Something strong that helps keep them up.

if they ever have any children together: Heh, Letita and Levi are cannon in some verse of theirs.

if they have any special pet names for each other: Though it’s not a nickname mutually exclusive to Janie, sometimes when she’s feeling particularly fond of him (which isn’t too often) she’ll follow the footsteps of his family and call him Nicky.

if they ever split up and / or get back together: PLEASE, do I even need to go into detail?

what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? ): Neat with a side of messede up whenever Janie lets Nick lounge around for too long, but even he knows better and cleans up behind himself.

what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like: Technically they didn’t spend New Years or Christmas day with each other, but they did hang out around that time to make up for it as teens. I’d say it was pretty magical and one they’ll never forget even as adults since that’s when Janie gifted him their necklaces and made a little Nick tear up from joy.

what their names are in each other’s phones: Nick’s number isn’t even saved in Janie’s phone because she’s terrible like that LMAO. but I feel like Nick has her name saved under ‘Janie G.’ with a heart by it or something.

if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? ): 

who falls asleep first and who wakes up first: Even though Janie wakes up way earlier for work, Nick is always falling asleep on her early! She’s the first one to wake uo because work requires her to get up really early.

who’s the big spoon / little spoon: Janie prefers being the little spoon. It makes her feel safe.

who hogs the bathroom: Janie. She has to make herself look presentable for tv!

who kills the spiders / takes them outside: They both kill spiders because they’re kinda evil like that. I feel like Nick tries to turn it into some learning lesson and talk abt how the spider trespassed on territory that wasn’t his and got killed in the end and Janie is just like “....Shut the hell up 😐”

☾✧.° ( send me 💘 + A SHIP and i’ll tell you— ) °.✧☼

[thaliangel]

💘 + HatsuRen <3<3<3

send me 💘 + A SHIP and i’ll tell you—

Hatsuharu Sohma x Renji Ameshita Sohma:

where they first met and how at Kazuma’s dojo when Renji was signed up for instruction there by his aunt

how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved hmm… i mean… neither one of them actively flirted with the other, but feelings got involved anyway

who fell for who first ( if applicable ) Renji, definitely

where their first date was and what it was like probably something like visiting the Shiraki bookstore and then playing games in Haru’s room

who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? ) Haru asks Renji out pretty straightforwardly, after Renji has confessed how he feels about Haru in the expectation of having those feelings rejected

who proposes first hmm… probably Haru

if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away they keep it generally secret (aside from close friends) until after the curse is broken

where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? ) knowing Haru, it probably just slipped out at some point in the middle of an otherwise ordinary day

if they adopt any pets together it would depend on how Isuzu and Anju also feel abt pets

who’s more dominant they’re pretty versatile, but Haru is the one who would come out on top if they were actually “fighting” for dominance (it’s the “black” Haru element)

where their first kiss was and what it was like in Hatori’s clinic — Haru was definitely the more refined of the two of them, Renji was p much a teary mess only half believing what was happening

if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? ) they both have those leather bracelets which Haru made

how into pda they are Haru is very into PDA and Renji warms up to it

who holds the umbrella when it rains Renji bc he is that little bit taller

where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable ) Haru’s room

who’s more protective Haru

how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ ) lol it’s… i mean… look how quickly Haru and Isuzu slept together, clearly Haru has gumption in this arena… so it was prob pretty quickly for Haru and Renji as well

if they argue about anything it’s usually less arguing and more like Renji yells and then Haru cuts to the heart of what Renji is actually trying to say in a way that disarms him, and then they work things out calmly

who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. ) Renji (he’s a biter)

who steals whose clothes and how often as previously stated, Renji wears Haru’s clothes super regularly

how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? ) facing each other

what their favourite nonsexual activity is playing video games together, probably

how long they stay mad at each other Haru usually gets over things quickly, but Renji is more likely to stew for a good day or so before he apologizes

what their usual coffee / tea orders are (granted, i don’t drink coffee so i have no idea lol) Renji will order black coffee to look tough, but then doctor it up with cream and sugar when no one is looking. Haru will get some variety of latte

if they ever have any children together i’m counting Sora and Riku!

if they have any special pet names for each other Haru is the only person by whom Renji doesn’t mind being called “Ren-Ren” Renji isn’t much for giving people nicknames or pet names

if they ever split up and / or get back together nope — things are just a little nebulous at times before the polyamorous relationship gets established

what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? ) on a scale of 1 to 10 of mess level, it’s probably around a 4-7 range

what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like oh well hmm it was new year’s so they didn’t spend it together

what their names are in each other’s phones Renji is “Ren-Ren” in Haru’s phone (and he adds a <3 to the end once they get together) Haru is “Haru” in Ren’s phone (but he sometimes changes it to “Stud” bc cow jokes)

if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? ) i could see them (including Isuzu and Anju) regularly taking long park walks together

who falls asleep first and who wakes up first Haru tends to fall asleep first and Renji tends to wake up first

who’s the big spoon / little spoon they alternate depending on the mood

who hogs the bathroom Haru — it’s all that hair gel

who kills the spiders / takes them outside Renji kills them and Haru takes them outside

Headcannons dating meme: Anthony x Theresa

this is under the cut because it got long really quick!

where they first met and how: they met during their childhood. their parents were all very close, so theresa and her brother spent a good deal of time with the bridgertons. however due to the 6-ish year age gap, they didn’t spend a good deal of time together and anthony most definitely viewed theresa as like an additional little sister due to her friendship with daphne

how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved: okay this i’m still shaky on because i sort of need season 2 to come into play (also waiting on my copies of these books to be delivered so i can have a tad more context), but there is definitely some light flirting in season 1 but it’s not super serious on his part but season 2,,,their might be a bit more even though she’s with another dude like anthony you choose now to like her????

who fell for who first (if applicable): theresa’s been head over heels for anthony since she was a teenager. at first it was kind of just like a cute lil childhood crush on her friends eldest brother but when she was like finally an adult and stuff she started taking her feelings a bit more seriously.

where their first date was and what it was like: they go promenading in the park, very nice weather, very cute, his mom chaperones from afar and is vvv happy while anthony’s like mom i’m like 30 stop embarrassing me jfc

who asks who out and how (with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’?): anthony is the one who makes the move to officially court her ... it’s very out of nowhere and kind of angsty because she’s technically courting someone else.

who proposes first: anthony

if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away: it’s a secret at first because once it’s clear that they’re doing this for real, she has to break off a courtship with someone else and it kind of causes a bit of a scandal because it looked like they were going to be engaged. when they do go public, it’s lowkey a shitshow

where the proposal happens and how (kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park?): so there’s an impromptu proposal and an official proposal. the impromptu one is basically the same moment as him confessing feelings because lord does he not want to see her marry someone else and it’s sort of uncalled for but he’s just putting everything out there. the second one is a bit more formal and they’re not completely alone but it’s very soft.

if they adopt any pets together: nope

who’s more dominant: anthony

where their first kiss was and what it was like: very abrupt, a little aggressive and overly passionate ... also depending on how i timeline this it may technically count as cheating pls do not come for me

if they have any matching couples stuff (mugs? sweaters? pillowcases?): i like to think their wedding bands have a matching vibe to them, but that’s sort of like a standard thing lol.

how into pda they are: not really. it’s also sort of a time era taboo anyways, but they’d only like going as far as like holding hands or a kiss on the cheek when others are around.

who holds the umbrella when it rains: anthony because he believes in being a gentleman

where their usual ‘date spot’ is (if applicable): honestly at their house, they just like quiet intimate time together.

who’s more protective: this is sort of even between them, although anthony’s more of a defend your honor publicly kind of person while theresa’s more the one who pulls him aside to be like i want you to be safe sort of like making sure he doesn’t do anything stupid.

how long it is before they sleep together (can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’): their wedding night covers both of these

if they argue about anything: this is well before their relationship, but they argue a lot about his bs in s1 with berbrooke and sometimes how he gets this mightier than thou attitude with her because they’re at the point where he still views her as like just some lovesick little girl

who leaves more marks (lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc.): theresa and she has no shame in it whatsoever.

who steals whose clothes and how often: theresa’s been known to pick up his discarded shirts every once and while and wear it to bed

how they cuddle (spooning? facing each other?): sometimes it’s spooning, but sometimes they face each other and she rests her head on his chest.

what their favourite nonsexual activity is: walks in the park, horseback rides, just spending time together in general.

how long they stay mad at each other: anthony can usually only go a few hours after an argument, but if theresa knows she’s right you can bet she will silent treatment the situation for like a day.

what their usual coffee / tea orders are: they both drink tea but i know nothing about tea drinking so i’m not going to answer this lmao

if they ever have any children together: they will have a few! definitely not as many as his family had, but at least 2 or 3. one’s definitely going to be named in honor of her late brother.

if they have any special pet names for each other: anthony uses darling a lot while theresa’s been known to use sweetheart every now and again.

if they ever split up and / or get back together: they don’t. once they’re together, it’s a straight shot to happily ever after!

what their shared living space is like (messy? clean? what kind of decor?): elegant and definitely tidy. 

what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like: they probably spend it with their families, so it’s definitely a fun affair. it’ll probably be a little bit after they marry, so it’ll be a good time.

what their names are in each other’s phones: this is not relevant to them for obvious reasons

if they have any ‘couple traditions’ (buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening?): none as of right now!

who falls asleep first and who wakes up first: theresa for both, but she likes to wake up on the real early side which sort of drives anthony up a wall.

who’s the big spoon / little spoon: theresa lives to be little spoon but on occasion she likes to be big spoon

who hogs the bathroom: i think based on regency styles, probably theresa based on the aspects of everything that goes into looking “presentable” but i really want to say anthony because i just think it’s amusing to think about him sorting out his sideburns every day.

who kills the spiders / takes them outside: anthony’s in the business of whacking spiders swiftly while theresa’s like hold on let me get something to scoop him up to put him back outside.
