#i love alllll desserts!

[osachiyo]

Whats your favorite dessert? 😋

mmmm i'm a sucker for cheesecake and warm, gooey brownies (ˊᗜˋ*)♡

[streamdotpng]

I BLINKED AND BELLE GREW UP HOW DID THIS HAPPEn—YOU HAVE TK TELL US HOW DID BABY BELLE CELEBRATE HER FIRST BIRTHDAY?? WHEN EVEN IS HER BIRTHDAY?? WHO WAS IN ATTENDANCE? WHERE THE ADDAMS FAMILY PRESENT? WHTA GIFTS DID THE LITTLE PRINCESS RECIEVE?? HOWS WENCLAIR AT THIS STAGE??? TELL US ALLLLL

YALL LEFT ME ALONE, I HAD NOTHNG ELSE TO DO

Anyways, it's just a Lil future thing bc I am in a hate love relationship with pining

Anyways, belle's appearance in earth and where Enid plucked her up happened during a blood moon, so that's her bday :)

(I need to search up when tf the blood moon happened in the show but it's Def near Wednesday's birthday)

First bday was spent with all three of them. Aka wenclair and their child, eating steak because while cakes are nice, gifting meat that you've killed and cooked yourself is like a huge honor thing

So Enid is just flexing her hunting skills for the pack, even when all she did was buy stuff from the grocery but they don't know that. They're very impressed.

Theres a few desserts tho and a bracelet that Enid braided for belle. Wednesday gifted her a sword and a promise of personal training.

One way to say that she's sticking around, huh?

Second year is when other people are more present for the birthday. Just very close family however, for a simple dinner before they get kicked out bc belle doesn't like crowds.

They always celebrate the whole day with the tiny family of three before there's people over in dinner then they get the guests punted out the house afterwards.

Its all pretty nice and chill.

Wenclair are like dating..? No one talked abt marriage but they hold hands and cuddle as a family so like that says alot

(also in the birth certificate, wednesday Addams has been added in the mother section)

They're a cute lovely family :D anyone saying otherwise gets a claw or a Sabre to the face

can I request L (death note) with an S/O reader with a personality like Paimon (from Genshin Impact, but only the personality)

RAHHHHHHHHHH FIRST REQ YAY

( A/N: I’m so sorry I didn’t see this sooner my notifications have been very messed up lately 💀)

But anyyyways hell yeah I imagine by paimons personality you mean like bubbly kind of aloof and like a foodie? But I gotchu 👍🏾

Great Minds Think Alike

(Lawliet/ L x Gn!Reader)

Warnings: None….?

Type: Fluffy

18+ ONLY NO MINORS (idc if it’s smut go away)

L was notoriously known for being one of the worlds greatest detectives, it was something almost anyone of police or higher status knew. What they didn’t know was how big of a sweets lover he was, which in someways is probably what drew him to you, his sugary sweet partner.

You always asked questions about his work and even tried to help him out on some cases, even if you were of no help to him whatsoever he still found the sentiment very endearing. When he wasn’t working on cases and had free time he’d usually spend that time with you, doing whatever you wanted as you dragged him along with you around the city, exploring, shopping and most of all eating was your favorite pastime with your detective boyfriend. He couldn’t find it in his heart to tell you no when you whines about going somewhere nor did he know how to object when you accepted a case for him in his stead. He was standing right next to you when you accepted it but he didn’t have it in him to tell you off about it.

Instead he just sighed and went along with it, sure it might’ve been more of a hassle to do the job instead of just handing it to the regular police it was you who put your faith in him, faith that he could solve the case easily, which he in fact did.

Evenings where you both are free are usually spent sitting down on a couch and chomping away at whatever foods available in the nearby area, there was tons of restaurants so there was no doubt an abundance of food to you both’s disposal. Whenever L seemed hesitant to try something new you’d be the test rat, not that you minded you were happy to try at new food accounting for the fact that it’s…food.

PDA with you two probably rarely if ever happens, L seems the type to be more reserved when it comes to the public, though it’s not for him being shy, he couldn’t care less what other people think of him, he simply wants to be able to take in alllll your cuteness by his lonesome, keeping you all to himself

Feed him his desserts and he’ll be putty in your hand for the rest of that day, hell maybe even the next day who knows

But regardless L loves his curiously little partner to death and would do anything for you whether it was possible or not <3

I HOPE YOU LIKED IT ANON

Please feel free to submit more requests Id love to write them!

─ paper rings . . . ❨ send me a description of yourself + a fandom and gender preference, and i’ll ship you with a character. ❩

OKAY FIRST congratulations on 3k! i remember following you a few months ago and it’s crazy you’re hitting that milestone (of course well deserved though ❤️)

i would absolutely love a ship to go along with your celebration! preferably from the f1 fandom with a male gender preference (but i’m not picky if you think of something else)

other than physically; i’ve been told i’m very kind, a person that everyone feels comfortable around relatively quickly and knows how to calm someone and situations down when anxiety and tensions rise. i get hangry easy, i love anything dessert wise (french desserts especially), i love to cook. my love language (to show my love) is likely acts of service or words of affirmation) i’m a recent uni graduate with a degree in criminal justice and public policy, i spent a lot of uni volunteering and doing philanthropy work through a few different school organizations i was part of. i’m a big mental health advocate and actively try to preach that.

i’m truly not sure what else to put so i hope that’s enough!! again, congratulations you deserve it soooo much!!!

Tyler Seguin as a loving partner just feels so right. He'd be obsessed with how well you take care of his boys and how much they take to you! Tons of cuddling, sweet kisses, and flowers/gifts just because. I think he'd be sneakily romantic. Also tons of babysitting his Godchilren 👀

Tyler Paul Seguin is the biggest lovebug on this planet and I will never be convinced otherwise.

he’d be obsessed with how obsessed you are with the dogs, and with how your goldendoodle fit seamlessly right into their crew. y’all definitely met at the dog park walking your respective pets!

he also loved how natural you were with the many kids in his life, including his godchildren and the children of his teammates. the two of you were absolutely the favorite babysitters of all the team couples — all the kiddos begged to be left with you when their parents needed a night out. they had always loved their one-on-one time with Tyler, sure, but the babysitting business really boomed after you came into his life, organizing craft time and fort building and fun snacks and never hesitating to spray some whipped cream straight into their mouths while making dessert.

as far as PDA, he was alllll for it. always holding your hand, settling his palm on your hip, keeping a gentle but firm grip on your thigh while seated, or snaking an arm around your shoulders and pulling you in for a kiss to the temple. the guys would constantly give him shit for making out with you in the middle of a party or a crowded bar, but the two of you would just stare at each other and smile.

and privately… hoooo, boy. when it was just the two of you, you could not pry his hands from you even if you tried. not that you minded — your love language was definitely physical touch, which worked perfectly for Tyler.

and yes, he most definitely sent flowers whenever a roadie lasted more than a couple of nights, or when he knew you were feeling down or in a particularly busy season of work. he was famous for surprising you with a new pair of earrings or handbag even when there was no upcoming birthday or anniversary to speak of. Jackie Seguin raised that boy right. 💯

It’s alllll coming together baby. Oh yeah.

I just visited some friends in Malmo, and it was so good. We went to the sauna that sits on the old pier going into the ocean. On a clear day you can see Copenhagen while you’re sweating your tits off with twenty naked women that are all having absolute cracker conversations (at VOLUME) by the sounds of it. Did not anticipate submerging my whole naked body in the sea in NOVEMBER, but the Swedish grannies did it like five times, so I managed three (felt like a heart-attack at the time, but afterwards felt so alive and awake). 

THEN we went to the best and the fanciest Lebanese buffet I’ve ever experienced. The falafel was life-changing. And it was only 22 euros, which is very cheap for the five plates we all devoured each (the baba ganoush! the HUMMUS! The olives and the middle eastern dessert subsection!). The art university people were also extremely lovely, and I still cannot believe that they PAY YOU to study here. Like my working-class Australian mate who’s doing her PHD on affordable community housing is just living on her government wage, in her palace-like apartment (it has a spiral staircase and ocean views) and what the fuck have I been doing in Berlin? 

(The BA art degree they offer is multi-disciplinary: so you get to do everything: painting, woodwork, plastic moulding, ceramics, whatever you want. The government also subsidies your art supplies..!! And it’s all in English! But they only let in 12 people a year…)

But as to my rubbish-covered beloved home, it has been great coming back. I have so many plans with friends before I jet off to Australia for three months. If you had told past year me that I’d have the best year of my life on the dole…I might have had trouble believing it to this full extent…!

My flat mate has put me forward to work at his youth club next year, which might not work out, as I don’t have a degree in youth work, but the DnD club who I’ve been painting murals with are for it, which is very sweet from those fifteen year olds. It would be so bomb too: twenty hours of work a week will pay 1200-1300 euros AFTER tax. Like I’ve never had a job in Germany that well paid, and all I have to do is art projects with teenagers and kids. What a dream!?

AND for my three-month Australia stint, a friend is gonna put me forward for a German reality tv show they’re doing in January…you try to escape those Germans for a few months…and they follow you. But otherwise I’m going straight on government help and just doing restorative yoga at home with Mum and getting baked wit my stepdad on rainforest hikes. Maybe some bush regeneration for 45 dollars a fucking hour (i love you Australian government wages).

I’m so fucking excited for the future and the now!? What a dream it’s all currently looking like? 

[beyond-the-lewdiverse]

What foods do you like? What would your ideal dinner date look like?

I love alllll kinds, Italian cuisine is always a winner though, along with just desserts as a whole (I've quite the sweet tooth~)

Hm it depends on what I'm fancying, who I'm going with and what not but I much prefer small plates/lighter foods and cocktails rather than a traditional three course meal with wine.

Weird Questions: 5, 8, 9 & 13

I ended up saving some previous asks, knowing I was going to have an AMA (Ask Me Anything) coming up. And it's an AMA weekend, so now is the time to answer all these questions! (but you can still ask me more, either cheekily anonymous, or bravely under your name). Here's a quartet from a lovely anon! I'm going to answer them in reverse order to keep the answer for the last one under a cut.

What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

Incredibly difficult: Relationships between ex-lovers. I have no exes. I married the first, last, and only person I ever dated/had a relationship with, and we have a great relationship of 26 years. My parents have been together for 47 and married for 45. The only set of grandparents I knew were high school sweethearts who married after my grandfather came back from being a POW in the Korean Conflict. It's really been the relationships prior to that where there's divorces and widows who marry three times and lots of interesting stories that come with the phrase 'it was unheard of at the time' (Great-great-grandma D, I'm looking at you being in your 60s and marrying the 18 year old farm hand as your third husband--good for you, that's a queen move right there). So I have to rely on research and what other people tell me.

Easy: Many other things, because I'm a method writer--it means I do a lot of immersive writing. Example--I started writing some years ago that Finrod knits. When I got to a point where I was writing a lot of things about Finrod, it made me realize -- I should learn how to knit so I don't just half-ass it. I have now made four blankets and many scarves and something square and very rainbow and I don't know quite what I did but I like it. Anyhow, for most things, I go have experiences. I collect realia that fits the themes/scenes. I use ambient noise while writing if I can't get to an actual place to do the writing. I've learned how to kickbox, ballroom dance, bake and decorate fancy desserts, do carpentry, make paper, make ink, make clothing, been around alllll sorts of animals (many of the random encounters with wild animals aren't a thing I can really plan, but I've had more than I can count, and they've all been useful). I have some limits, but they are few (and probably strange, honestly).

Do you believe in ghosts? This isn’t about writing I just wanna know.

Yes. I've lived in a house that had two of them, and I had a very specific encounter when I was a teenager. I was working one day at the retail counter and the father of my boss came in. There was an older woman next to him. They were sort of conversing--she was doing most of the talking, he was just making grumbly noises. They never made eye contact. She was wearing all black, including a lace cover over her hair, which is how I even was watching, because her clothing was just unusual for the time period and for an afternoon of coming into a little retail store. He eventually got her back to the door, opened it for her, she left, and he came to fiddle with something behind the counter. When I asked him 'who was that?' he looked a little shocked, but told me it was "Old Lady (name redacted)".

About a week or so later, the store owner and his wife returned from vacation. They asked me how things went in their absence and I filled them in. When the owner said 'I hope my dad didn't bother you too much', I told him no, it was fine, he was just a little grumpy when Old Lady (nr) came in. The owner was like "…are you sure that was what he said? Because Old Lady (nr) has been dead for a while."

Of course, I had to ask his father the next time I saw him. He adamently denied having said anything to me, denied having had a conversation with anyone, denied the whole thing happening. Cameras were already wiped from the week by then, but then again--I don't know if I really wanted to check them. I replay it sometimes, watching them walking around and talking, them not looking at each other, her not picking anything up or touching anything--but she did look at me at one point.

So I did go look her up eventually.

She passed away in 1992 at the age of 88.

This encounter could not have been earlier than 1996, because I started working there in November of 1995.

Found a photo of her recently in a historical archive.

It's her.

Every time I go past, day or night, I glance over. I guess I'm waiting for the day I see her standing in front of the store or something.

What is your darkest fear about writing?

That after I'm gone, it'll all just disappear like it was never there at all. But this isn't just a me thing--it's a 'for everyone' sort of thing. Libraries and archives make concerted efforts to collect physical and other digital copies of literature--fanfiction doesn't get that same attention--but it should. It's a record not of what was profittable, but of what people were passionate about.

Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true?

Under a cut for mentions of death:

There have been a few times I've written scenes that ended up playing out in real life later on. Usually, these weren't a big deal. But I once wrote a scene (this is all original fiction) about a character being killed, and another character (that was loosely based on myself) having to go to the family of the character who was killed and deliver the news. A very short time later -- somewhere between two weeks and a month -- my uncle died, and I had to go to my parents' house to tell my father his younger brother was dead. It was absolutely one of the worse experiences ever, to have to comfort a parent who is sobbing and just keeps saying 'my baby brother is dead' over and over.

So, you will notice, when I write about death, it's off-screen in almost all cases. And I bring everyone back to Valinor -- Elves and also a lot of Orcs and eventually even Morgoth. Someone is always hurt when someone passes away, and I know that I use Valinor as the ultimate 'fix-it' place.

If anyone wants to pull more questions from the weird writing asks, here's the link to the list: https://www.tumblr.com/z-h-i-e/722293323480596480/i-still-have-two-more-from-the-last-one-to-get?source=share

▷Fluffy Submas Date Headcanons [SFW]◀

Cute headcanons about going on dates with the submas twins

Polyamory, Reader-san is AFAB. Under a cut just to keep the post short on your dash!

▶ Emmet loves spontaneous dates, whereas Ingo prefers planning ahead of time. While they let each other have alone time with you, they also like to go on dates together with you. Typically in public they just act like good friends, but if they get you alone on the date they’re both all over you, kissing you and hugging you in very secretive PDA.

▷ They both enjoy dates in spots where they can let their pokemon- and your own, relax. Most of their pokemon are comfortable in the city and on the rails, but they have a few places where they like to take their pokemon as a treat. Chandelure likes Celestial Tower, for instance; Excadrill and Crustle enjoy Twist Mountain and other rocky, mining areas or the deserts.

▶ They actually enjoy going on walks through nature trails; Working in Nimbasa City, it’s rare the two get to take the time to stop and smell the roses and just enjoy nature. They both really like Chargestone Cave trails, as Emmet will point out every Galvantula nest along the trail and also loves poking the weird floating rocks, sending them flying. Ingo likes to relax by the pretty ponds running through the cave that sparkle with tynamos and glow with the light of the magnetic rocks. It’s very meditative, until Emmet provokes an angry mama galvantula by scooping up and cuddling hoards of wild joltiks.

▷ If Ingo gets to plan out the date, you can expect a pleasant, but not particularly arduous or difficult walk to a cute, secluded area surrounded by nature. He actually really likes flowers, so left up to him he’d want to take you to a botanical garden somewhere or areas known for flowers and beauty. Take Emmet to a botanical garden and if he learns something’s edible he’s going to try to bite it.

▶ If Emmet “plans” the date, you can expect to be taken out for something like going to an Arcade, or out to the Amusement Park of Nimbasa, and then out for something tasty afterwards. He will be getting dessert regardless of how full either of you are, and take it home if he has to. He loves dessert.

▶If you want to take them out for dates...

▷ Emmet doesn’t like to know beforehand because he hates the anticipation, but he will drop heavy-handed hints the days leading up to anytime he has off; “I am Emmet. I will have Saturday off it looks like. I wonder if I will do anything fun then?” “It would be verrrrry fun to go out on Saturday. The day I have off. I can’t think of anything to do though.” He will say this in ear shot of you, but not directly to you. If he thinks you’ve missed his hints, or if he has an impromptu day off, and wants you to think of taking him on a date, he will physically grab you the evening before and tell you straight to your face that yes, he’s Emmet and yes, he-has-tomorrow-off-thanks-for-asking and yes, you-should-take-him-out-thank-you.

▶ Emmet is adventurous, and likes exciting things; heck, asking him if you could battle him in Gear Station would be a fun date idea to him, but other than that, taking him to the amusement park or out somewhere wild and cool is ideal. Sliding down Victory Road is also verrry fun to him and he will try to hold you bridal-style down the entire way. If you offer to take him to an art gallery, or a museum, however... He’s going to act confused, but he’ll indulge you. He’ll probably dislike it at first, getting bored easily unless there’s pretty shiny things on display at the museum, but once he realizes how empty museums and art galleries tend to be... with some hidden corners around displays and boards, he’s going to be alllll over you, kissing and hugging you and taking every opportunity to hold you against him. He’s going to like the museums and art galleries far more after that.

▷ Ingo likes planning; He wants to know at least a general plan of what you’d like to do, but even if you don’t have a good idea of the specifics, it’s alright. Taking him out to enjoy natural settings, and then for something light to eat afterwards is enjoyable. He really likes picnics, and wants you to do that rest-your-head-on-his-lap thing or vice versa. He’s surprisingly knowledgeable about plants too, so you’ll get some free botany lessons out of him as he points out all the berry plants and useful herbs in the woods. Although he’s more uptight and reserved than his brother, if you give him the opportunity to “warm up” he will also enjoy more thrilling things like roller coasters. ...And it’s a bad habit of his, but he likes the slot machines as well. He never plays for very much though, he’s good about managing his gambling fun.

---

▶ A surprising thing they both like when they have actual vacation time is treasure hunting or honest-to-goodness ACTUAL adventuring. They’ve heard tales of legendary pokemon, tucked away in the corners of Unova- And you all go off for a day ‘round Pinwheel forest looking for Cobalion, or up to Victory Road for rumored sightings of Terrakion- Emmet somehow managed to secure a Liberty Pass one time and took you all to Liberty Garden- where you searched for the mythical pokemon Victini. You didn’t find it, unfortunately, but darn if you didn’t have a wonderful time at the lighthouse. All of these locations were practically abandoned and the brothers got at the very least got a rare opportunity to shower you in affection in a place that wasn’t your home. Though you had to admit, caves full of dangerous wild pokemon were... not your ideal location to be assailed with love.

▷ Also legitimate treasure hunting. Out to Relic Castle and the Desert Resort, where Emmet and Ingo do battle against hoards of Yamasks and Cofagrigus for a day with their skilled teams- part training, part adventure, and sometimes they find cool stuff! Or if you head out to Undella town, they are going to beg you to go diving with them into the Abyssal Ruins- And if they manage to find a crown, they’re going to present it to you. If not, well, the little coins from the ruins are certainly still really cool, and maybe they’ll find some of those weird plates that pop up sometimes...

▶ Dates with both of them are saccharine; They want to spoil you, and even though they can’t exactly engage in PDA with you they will absolutely sneak all the kisses and adoration they can when they’re certain no one is looking. Both of them like to get you small gifts from their outings with you- Ingo presses flowers and insists you keep them, and you probably have a wall covered in cute laminated pressed plants now, and Emmet will get you little things you like; whether it’s some kind of makeup he knows you use, or a little plush, or maybe a cute piece of jewelry or a hair pin. They also really like when you’re touchy and comfortable with them; hugging either of them or pulling them both against you makes their faces light up as red as a cheri berry.

▷ One of their favorite small dates is just to take you out to a nice breakfast joint really early in the morning; There’s one that’s inside Gear Station actually, that’s really popular with early morning commuters and the station employees. It’s a toss up between there, across the street from Gear Station, or their favorite bagel shop if it’s a really quick breakfast.

▶ They fucking love train museums. Ask to go to a train museum with them and they will probably wonder why they haven’t proposed to you yet, especially if you really actually enjoy the train museum. They know a lot about old trains, so they’ll happily explain anything you seem confused about- Or just start telling you all these neat, obscure facts about the trains on display. You will probably end up skipping lunch that day because they’re going to want to spend a lot of time there.

▷ They also love scenic train rides! The Nimbasa Subway connects with a few, but they’ll probably try to take you on the Anville scenic routes more than once; a four hour train ride through idyllic mountainous countryside with only each other in a private train carriage, and usually an old, renovated steam engine at that drives them wild with happiness- The whole thing is excessively romantic to them and they’ll be aggressively lovey-dovey the entire time you’re all on the train together.

▶ Wrapping up dates is usually spent lounging around in your home, in the form of a pile; you sandwiched between the two while lazily flipping through TV channels or watching bad sitcoms, tired out from the day’s activities. If Emmet got dessert somewhere, he’s probably eating it- Ingo is going to try to steal some of whatever it is, though whether he’s successful or not depends on just how tired out Emmet is. Emmet will happily* share his sweets with you, however.

*If he does this, he’s ordering two deserts from now on. If Ingo keeps trying to steal his deserts he’s just getting a cake or something on the way home for you all to share because the man likes his sweets and he’s fine with ordering y’all some, but leave his alone please-

AOT characters with a black S/O (Zeke, Jean, Connie, Eren, Reiner)

Synopsis: I think the title is pretty self explanatory 🙈

TW: none really besides mentions of food, African-American culture only for right now sorry my foreign babes 😕, not proofread

ZEKE

Someone throw this man a black girlfriend with a dark or regular academia aesthetic P L S because he would love you to the point where he’s obsessed and treat you so good.

Loves finding neutral shades of beige, white, or brown that compliment your skin color nicely while the two of you are out shopping. Will literally come running from across the other side of the store with a brown jacket in his hand like “Look babe, this would compliment the brown of your skin so nicely 🥺 we gotta get Instagram pictures of you in this.”

He also enjoys finding academia type hairstyles and trying to make them work with your natural hair or braids. At least once a week he sends you a hairstyle he found on Tumblr and helps you later that night to try and achieve a black version of it.

The two of you most definitely have viral pictures floating around on Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.

He’s so soft and patient when it comes yo your hair because he has a beard, so he knows what it feels like having to keep up with something that requires a lot of work. He’ll often come into the bathroom to do his beard and offer you an extra pair of hands when it’s your wash day. His favorite part is to help you twist your hair because he likes seeing the finished product when you take them out.

He also uses your hair conditioners and oils in his beard because they make him smell otherworldly and he likes smelling like you. And yes, he has requested for you to braid his beard once but never again because you both thought he looked too weird like that.

Grisha is the awkward white dad who tries too hard to accept you and says stuff like “Hey, like the new hairdo 😃👍🏾.” Whenever you come around. Bless his poor heart, at least he’s trying and you know he means well.

JEAN

Worships you and the ground you walk on like 24/7. He’s so in love with you and makes sure to let you know that on the daily multiple times. And he’s such an amazing lover and avoids doing cringey shit like calling you chocolate or Nubian queen goddess.

Hangs with your uncles and all the other black men in your family because he thinks he’s cool like that, but they don’t mind at all cause they love him.

His mom is the sweetest mother in law ever. She gets along so well with all the women in your family and they’re always swapping recipes with one another. One day time you and Jean pulled up for Christmas and she had a dish filled with collard greens on the table and they were good too.

He has two chains around his neck dedicated to you: one is your name and the other one is the date you two became official. You also wear his name around your neck and you have a ring with his initials on it.

Getting jewelry is something the two of you do together very often. Matter of fact, swap meets are his favorite place to go to in general and his mind was blown when you first took him to one.

Asks you to put his hair in French braids at least once a month because the process is so therapeutic for him. He loves laying his head on his lap and watching as you make his braids so neat and cute. But be careful though because he does like to “Can you braid my hair? 🥺” his way into some coochie.

Don’t brother teaching him how to braid because even if he does get the hang of it after a couple of sessions with you he’ll always request that you do his hair.

You two have random rap battles with each other alllll the time. It’s pretty split between who wins, but often you’ll call him out for trying to use lyrics from other artists.

CONNIE

Did y’all know me and Connie are blood cousins? Both his momma and daddy black and his full name on his birth certificate is Cornelius Demetrius Jones Springer, so take that as you will���

BUT REALLY, Connie fits right in with you and your culture that it’s nearly identical to dating someone the same race as you.

He has a fitted cap with your name sowed into it on the side with a cute heart right by it. It’s his go to hat and he points is out to everyone who doesn’t know about it.

Has most definitely dragged you along with him to go take one of those 2000’s-esque photoshoots with the airbrushed backgrounds. He even made the two of you dress alike and color coordinate because he’s extra like that and the photos are hanging all over your guy’s house. He carries around a mini version of his favorite picture in his wallet at all times.

You better not ever come around this man with messed up edges, visibly old braids, a too visible lace, etc because he will get on you bad and crack jokes about it the whole day because he’s a menace to society like that. No one besides him is allowed to do it though or he’ll get mad at them.

Do not ask this man to help you take down your braids unless you’re cutting them first because he will cut them crazy as hell and might even accidentally cut some of your real hair off too. He’s a master at dipping braids though, it’s something he takes pride in.

EREN

Literally a POWER COUPLE !

Eren will never have you out here looking wrong. The part on your lace is a little off? He’s telling your hairdresser to fix it! Thinks the hair you got looks too synthetic and shiny? He’s dropping big bucks to make sure you have some silky soft hair extensions.

Made you do him some baby hairs one day when he was wearing his signature ponytail as a joke, but now you’re obligated to slick up his edges for him at least once a week. He even has a silk scarf that he uses to tie them down with at night.

Is a master at finding filters on Instagram and Snapchat that don’t make your skin look Orange or pale so the two of you can have the cutest Instagram pictures together.

Walks around the house 24/7 singing 2000’s R&B songs at the top of his lungs because he’s a menace to society like that.

Supports all your financial needs when it comes to hair clothing or anything in general really. Need a new lace front? He’s wiring $700 to your account. Want a Teflar bag? He’s getting you one in every color. Some new shoes came out and you think they’re cute? He’s getting them for you !

REINER

Your aunties would L O V E a hardworking and burly man like Reiner.

He’s get so spoiled by them all the time whenever he comes around. Sometimes they pay attention to him more than they do you and best believe they slide him all the extra plates and desserts at barbecues. I just know he smacks down on a plate of soul food in like 5 minutes.

Speaking of soul food, you really lit up something in his Caucasian taste buds when you gave him a plate of soul food for the first time because now he’s OBSESSED. Every night he’s begging you to cook for him or asking you for the recipe so he can make it himself. His favorites are macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, and yams ☺️

Will bust a move on the dance floor if your family pressures him to get on it at events. He did a two-step with your aunt once at somebody’s wedding and nobody in your family has shut up about it since because they were surprised at how good he can dance. You were equally as surprised as them.

The best person to ask to help you with your hair because he’s so patient and will make sure that your parts are straight and perfect or use his hands to slick your ponytails up to the gods. He’ll do it exactly how you want it to look too and he makes sure it’s to your standard by checking in with you every now and then.

Encourages you to buy clips or little jewels whenever you take him to the beauty supply with you because he thinks you look so adorable when you wear them in your hair.

Isn’t It Tragic How Far You’ve Come - Part 4

Genre: Angst, Friends to Lovers AU, College AU, 🔞+

Warnings⚠️‼️: None

Member: Han Jisung

“Y/N. Don’t do that to yourself, you didn’t do anything to deserve this.” You began to cry uncontrollably at this point, and Jisung knew he had to tell you. Y/BF/N has already put you through enough. “Y/N, I have tell you something.” You immediately got concerned. “Okay… Well, what is it Ji?” He took a deep breath again before continuing, knowing that what he was going to tell you was going to crush you. “I think I may have answer to why Y/BF/N has been ghosting you.” Your face began to become encompassed in worry, not knowing what Y/BF/N had been up to for the past few months. “One night when me and Changbin were walking home from the convenience store, we saw him with another girl.” “Well, maybe they were just going out as a friends, Ji. We shouldn’t just assume.” Jisung knew you were right to a certain extent, but he was also very protective of your heart and so were the rest of the boys. “Y/N, don’t be naive.” You immediately got defensive. “I’m not being naive Jisung. I just, don’t think he’d do that to me. Y/BF/N loves me. But at the same time, that would explain why he’s been so distant.” Jisung breathed a sigh of relief that you weren’t in complete denial that Y/BF/N couldn’t be cheating on you. “I’m really sorry this is happening to you Y/N, you deserve so much better than him.” Reality came and hit you like a ton of bricks, could he really be seeing another girl behind you back? “It’s okay Ji, but how are we going to find out for sure whether or not he’s actually cheating?”

“Well, Y/N. I wouldn’t want you to get involved in this since this information by itself is causing you pain. Let me, and few of the guys handle it.” You were about to open your mouth to protest, but Jisung stopped you. “I don’t want you to get hurt anymore by him Y/N/N, he has hurt you enough.” You scoffed. “So what am I supposed to do while you guys are spying on him?” Jisung smiled, coming up with a good idea that he thinks you’ll be okay with. “Tell you what, while me and some of guys are out. You, Felix and I.N. can make desserts and watch ALLLLL the Disney movies you guys want on my Disney+ account, how does that sound?” You smiled, Jisung knew just how to get you. You let out a long sigh, and eye roll to sport. “Fine… Just make sure to tell me everything when you come home.” Jisung smiled, “You know I will.”

Hearth.

A/N: I dunno if I've got any desi/brown/poc readers but if you're reading this I love you so much and you (us) deserve the same validation and representation others get.

Here's a blurb as to what it feels like celebrating Eid with Harry! Enjoy!

Warning: none — just loads of fluff.

More Inspos, Masterlist, Let's Talk

The night's pretty with murky clouds and thick layer of moon's brightness as Y/N cleans her flat, from scrubbing her Persian rugs to deep cleansing her vases back from her homeland. The flame evaporating from her candles scented like springs of Kashmir, flickers from her blowing sheer curtains due to the zephyr flurring outside.

She feels content, at peace waiting for Harry who promised that he'll be at her place by 11. He always comes an hour early helping her in setting the table before the iftari, they've been doing it together since the start of ramdan until today when he texted her he's busy along with a sad smiley.

It was fun. He fasted with her once or twice and would make sure she's hydrated enough once they break it, his love for rooh-afzah (it's a drink red in color made from essence of roses and some sweet herbs) will never fail to make her giggle as he'd demand for more after gulping two glasses already.

Then showing her his tummy along with his food pregnant jokes.

Her classes are online so it gave her time to experiment some cooking. They'd make samosas together and she always had an urge to hold back her cooes as his tongue used to poke out in concentration everytime his diligent fingers folded the samosa sheets skillfully.

"Did a pretty go'job here, innit?" He'd grin raising it like a summat trophy.

The moment he used to leave her flat (ofcourse after giving a tight hug before doing so) they both missed eachother terribly, y/n doesn't like the way her home falls into an abyss without his presence.

He's like a sunshine that warms her insides up.

The whistle of kettle and several raps of knocks on her door drags her from her fond memories of them together, she slings her feet down from the coffee table rushing to open it.

"Angel."

Harry says breathlessly prolly because he climbed three flight of stairs to get to her or that he's utterly flustered.

Her eyes remain struck at the thingies piled in his arms, a box of chocolates, many brown bags and stems of freshly blood ripped roses tucked between his knuckles.

He bought all of these gifts for her.

To make her feel like home.

To be her home.

What the fuck, nobody has ever done that for her —-- she just mighty cry.

Her mouths gupples like a fish too overwhelmed to react her emotions out and he gives her a sweet smile kicking the door shut with his feet -- gestures her to wait when she almost jumps like a cub to hug him and puts everything on the sofa knowing the things inside them's too delicate.

"C'mere, baby." He grins and she doesn't waste a moment falling in his embrace. Her cheeks smashes against his taught chest and she fists the hem of his shirt smiling too hard for her own sake as he sways them with his own rosy cheek squished against her temple.

"I love you so much, thank you." She murmurs gazing up at him with glinting eyes -- arms still lopped around his waist and his chin doubles adorably as he gives her his signature bunny grin kissing the tip of her nose, "Love you too bubba ... don't want ya homesick, at alllll."

The aggressive whistle of kettle parts them away, "Cuppa cha? Then we'll unwrap these pleasanteris." She points at the paper bags.

He nods flopping onto the floor cushions beside the large oak window of the balcony where they could bathe in moonlight.

"Thank you." He quips, kissing her fingertips while slipping his fingers under the handle of mug and takes it from her as she sits infront of him. He admires her for a second —- fawning over how she's looking so soft and cuddle-able wearing a baggy mauve kurta and some mismatched shalwar.

The tearing open of the stuffing tissue brings him back to focus --- this, he wanted to see this happiness dance over her features as she clutches the ethnic traditional dress he bought for her infront of her and when lifts it down he's met by overly excited eyes.

It's ethereal with golden details, handmade wire work and sheer fabric.

"It's gorgeous, pups." She squeezes his hand and he takes the sip of his cha smiling against the rim of the mug shyly, "Wasn't s' sure -- Sarah helped me in collecting stuff." Sarah's Y/N's bestfriend who was the only desi/brown in her filming class.

"No wonder she was being a lil sneak." Y/N chuckles already rummaging for what comes next.

He wanted to make sure he gets her everything they do traditionally in her culture and ate Sara's ears off to help him buy the most special thing and it's right there creating sweet noise when they touch eachother, dangling from her fingers.

"Churiyan .... " She whispers bitting down a smile. She loves glass bangles. Their colourfulness cheers her mood up and she'd always go with her Nani a night prior eid to select the most flamboyant pair of them from a bazar (market).

"This -— " She gestures to the gifts scattered around them, " —-- all of this and you, means alot to me." She sighs giving him a wet smile and he smoothes his thumb against her cheek like she's the most fragile thing to exist.

He watches her in a tad confusion when she stands up with a giggly squeal putting everything away and comes back with a tube of henna in her hand.

"It's chand raat t'night 'cos tommorrow is eid -- usually I spend it with Sarah and we apply henna to eachother, we're horrible at it honestly but now she isn't here 'm gonna bite yours ears —-" He cuts her off. Ushering her to sit back on her spot. He couldn't be more glad to spend all of his time with her whether it's just watching her make designs on her hand with henna.

"Your cha's waftin'." He shakes his head bringing it to her lips, "It's hot." She tells him drawing a circle on her palm and filling it with beautiful darkness of henna.

"Okie then ... " He blows at the hot beverage to cool it down and again brings it to her lips, "Now." He croons softly to her. She holds his wrist taking a sip from it -- he tucks the strand of her hair back and she smiles up at him making him chuckle when she takes a huge sigh as if her soul just woke up.

"What do we d'tommorrow?" He asks. Knowing most of the time they went to Zayn's house on Eids his mother used to fill the whole table with delicious dishes and the whole day was spent having fun.

"We do nothing but have loads of nice time -- I already made a dessert 'cos I know I'll be too lazy in the mornin', and invited your friends if that's okay?" She glances up at him done with her left palm.

"Perfect then," He nods, "D'ya need help with the other one?" He asks grabbing her right hand and the tube of henna from her.

"Yes, please." She shows him her hand covered with with henna and since it's wet she could do one thing wait or let him do it. The second options sounds more good.

"Not on me if it gets messed up." He warns her nonchalantly following the same pattern of her left hand. Stealing glances of her attractive face every now and then, dotting her moles with his intense gaze, he just thinks her brown eyes look more intricate – it's specks as if the forests soil on the first rains when they dilate with her racing heartbeat.

They're like an open book to him and at the same time mysteriously dark that he feels like burning a match to melt in them.

"You did it way better than me," She snorts examining it closely and turns the other way round to lay down on the carpeted floor and rest her head in his lap. He wipes his own hands watching the dark henna leaving a swipe of color on his fingertips.

He pets her hair, dimples milking into his cheeks when she raises her both hands infront of him -- blocking the moonlight that's falling on her, "When I was small I always used to end up getting it on my face and lemme tell ya. Having a yellow blotch isn't even a tiny bit fascinating on the only day you could dress up fancy."

His chest rumbles with giggles and he brings her hands closer to her lips blowing raspberries at them to get them dry early.

Comfortable silence envelopes them in to the point where they could hear crickets singing outside and moonlight sparkling on their skin —- she breaks it cuddling up into his chest.

"I really appreciate this, Harry." Her voice hushed whisper and her cherry stained lips couldn't resist but to patch kisses where his heart lays and she could sense it kicking a pace, "The fact that you did so much just for me -- is beyond my thought. I really feel like home." He let her speak. Squeezing her shoulders to convey the fierceness of his emotions he holds for her. His silken lips pressed to her temple and his eyelids flutters with each spurt of breath she inhales.

"I'll keep making you feel like home, till the day you'll allow me." Today. He for actually felt that his home was never a building or the luxurious furniture adorned inside it, but her. It's always gonna be her.

Because the moment he gets lost in those eyes all he come across is their shared laughter, their moments spent on this balcony right outside sipping onto their chas and watching the city wake up infront of their eyes, going to places he has never been to before, doing things he never thought he'd do in hundered years —- he isn't a big fan of spices but he still pretends like a big boi infront of her while eating pani puri she's oh so obsessed with.

The times she was never embarrassed to introduce him to her community or her friends, and getting soaked into rains even though they could've just used his car, having days planned to make him try new desi dishes, going to buy candles of many scent and shapes with him but then never feeling like leaving the store until he warns her that he'll throw her on his shoulder infront of everyone.

Going to Turkish markets together. He's a bread lover and so all this time he doesn't feel like leaving the shops filled with different kiln and tandoori breads. Eating Simit and drinking black tea in the amardu cups sitting outside the cafe –- he likes it with cheese while she might sound bland she just likes a bit of butter.

Them deciding for hours and hours which Persian rug to buy -- but never buying it apologising to the shop keeper.

Giving eachother head massages from the organic rosemary Morrocon oil that one of her friend gifted her, (Y/N) thinks she's one hell of a masseuse but Harry thinks otherwise —- though he would never ever break her heart so it's better keeping it a secret.

His nose creates a purring sound while he sleeps leaning against the wall, he doesn't even remember when he fell into the deep slumber with his large hand still wrapped around her wrist in a protective manner to keep her from moving.

It's cute.

Though when she stirs to regain consciousness with the birds chirping outside she feels remorseful finding him sleeping in such an uncomfy position just because of her and he wakes up with a loud wheeze —- blinking rapidly to see what just happened only to visibly relax back when she shushes him gently.

"Baby .... shit." He grogs out, knuckling at his eyes pointing at her jaw which's covered into a orangish streak, "Don't tell me." She groans bumping her head against his bicep.

A moment later they burst into fits of hoarse giggles and chuckles. She'd try to suck in air to not to snort and would do it nonetheless driving them more into belly aching laughter.

"Eid Mubarak, I guess?" He cackles loudly. Dimple coveting in to his velvet of skin. Rubs the tip of his nose against her's affectionately and swoons her in his arms to hug her warmly.

"Now -— go 'n dress up, c'mon." He cups the nape of her neck playing with the baby hair there and she whines smushing her face against his chest, "No. Lemme sleep some more."

"Heyyy none of that, c'mon sleepy girl you'll regret it later." He boops her nose smiling down at her fondly and she grumbles mumbling something in between you're so annoying or you're being so much like my mum.

He waits for her laying on the sofa with his arms folded and eyes closed. Prolly took a mini version of nap only to perk his head up grabbing the back of sofa when she returns with wet hair, soft clean face and lips tinted cherry wearing the dress and bangles he bought for her.

An enchantress from head to toe, he wouldn't even complain if she bewitches him.

He needs someone to pinch his bum because he thinks his eyelids might have struck. He takes a dramatic breather mischievously, pupils dilated cutesly and heart shaped lips parted with the sweet loving words in praise of her beauty burning at the tip of his tongue.

His fawning gives her butterflies. Expanding her chest with warmth and she does a three-sixty when he spindles his nimble in the air demanding her to show herself from every angle.

Her head falls back. An echo of happy giggles resonating in the room when he smacks his hand against his chest and flops into heaps of sofa cushions.

"You're fuckin' beautiful, a total knockout." He walks towards her with his hands spread open and takes her's to kiss the inside of her palms, "So are you." Her voice small with shyness. He sits on her on sofa and stays beside her with his chin perched upon his knuckles staring at her like she hung the moon -- as if she's a prayer come true.

"Did you get me ready to d'nothing?" She turns towards him. The curled up fringes kissing the apples of her cheeks same as his fingertips are dying to do so.

"I might sound selfish but it was a trap to get you ready early so I could admire you till everyone squeeze between us ... " He smirks and she huffs sinking deeper into the sofa throwing her limbs in air and his breath hitches when her bangles clanks together producing a beautiful noise.

"Harry!!" She whines.

"Okie, time to fill some grumpy kitten's tummy." He announces standing up to head to kitchen and she shakes her head with a silly smile trailing behind him.

All she knows is that. This Eid she'll have the best time of her life, as she could already feel his energy and love radiating in every corner of her home.

.

[bisexual-horror-fan]

LOVE THAT LAST ONE YOU DID FOR ME! JUST YESSSS EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!

If you don't mind, my greedy simp ass will request another Vincent Alt Art pov- ✨cooking edition✨

AYYYYY!!!

Simp!!! I am SO sorry it took so long to get to this! I got so caught up with hitting so many milestones one after the other and doing the giveaways from those but here I am again, feeding you! I hope this is worth the wait. I almost went to culinary school, all my jobs have been food centric, it is one of my passions in life and I adore cooking and trying new recipes so I hope that this is fucking great. Without further ado, let’s get into it!. Part one of the ALT Artist S/O thing found, here!

---

GN! ALT Artist S/O X Vincent Sinclair Headcanons. Cooking Edition!

---

-It has been said “An artist isn’t just someone who sculpts or paints, or sets the table in a certain way or anything like that, this? Is art. Cooking is art.”

-You and Vinny are big believers in this.

-Bo complains at first about you both cooking so much, making Vincent neglect his other artistic fronts and his duty to the town and what they are trying to accomplish.

-Until he tries the food. He shuts up quickly.

-Plus keeping Vin happy means that he works harder on everything else and cooking with you makes him SO happy.

-The two of you essentially take over all the cooking in Ambrose and it becomes one of your most favored hobbies to engage in.

-Meal planning, meal planning, meal planning!

-You both work so hard together to get the most bang for the few bucks you have. Making sure anything that is a little more expensive was going to get multiple meals out of it.

-Your grocery and meal planning lists have Bo raising his eyebrows, “The fuck is half of this shit?”

-But then he actually TRIES what you both make and it shuts him up real quick yet again.

-You still go into town with Bo more often than not because the first time he went by himself he totally fucked it up, “What’s the fuckin’ problem?!” and you had to explain that no when you want tarragon that oregano was NOT going to cut it as a substitute like the grocery store worker had suggested.

-Recipe hunting is too fun for the both of you. Anything that looks slightly interesting or challenging you both want to try.

-Vin is literally amazing at making breakfast. The things that man can do with eggs is near sinful. Like he does almost any kind of egg with ease, practically perfected poached eggs and the softest scrambled ever.

-BAKING BREAD! Holy fuck you both get soooo into baking bread! Making good bread is so cheap and easy and versatile. For toast or sandwiches or whatever.

-Vincent insists that you make sandwiches better than he ever could and you swear that he does it the same way you do but you don’t complain or argue.

-Dinner is where you both really shine and work together.

-Obviously any and all knife work falls to Vincent, let’s be real and you have no problem deferring to him on that front.

-You love to watch him do it, one hand propped under your chin as you lean on the counter, watching him cube meat with ease and chop vegetables. He’s sign asking if you want to help or just watch and you’d tell him that, “-you’re so much better at mise en place than meeee.” And he can’t say no to you so he lets it go.

-You almost always have something on the go. Something marinating or curing or what have you.

-Sunday dinner’s are THE big deal.

-Back when their mother was well enough it was the case and you were more than happy to help restart that tradition.

-So many classic, good old fashioned foods and newer stuff. You introduce them to a lot of new dishes and many of your personal favorites become faves of theirs.

-Plating and presentation are massive!

-Pictures are taken of the food you make alllll the time and they look like something that could be in a cookbook or Bon Appetit' magazine. Vin likes having a log of what you’ve made and looking back on it, makes him feel proud and helps him recall the good times you’ve had making it all together.

-DESSERTS!

-Baking, baking, baking!

-You both get sooo into baking, much more than just bread!

-Vincent becomes kinda obsessed with making cakes, loving the creative and crafty nature that comes with decorating them! Only thing he has trouble with is eating them afterwards because they look even more like works of art than the other food you make.

-Taking pictures of the confections helps mitigate those feelings at least.

-The two month process it takes for Vin to nail making a souffle was an ordeal. Endearing, cute, but an ordeal all the same.

-Point is, cooking and baking is one of the best things to ever happen to your relationship. The bonding, sharing, good memories that are made, the closeness that comes from it.

-And it gets Vincent out of that fucking basement on a regular basis.

FRUITS BASKET S2 EPISODE 19 + 20 RECAP

Hello!! Decided to pair my recap of episode 19 and 20 together since they both kinda flow into each other and explore the same message in different ways through Yuki and Rin. It’s a really nice and interesting flow of story!

Let’s get into it!

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

- Ok, let me get my Shigure hatred out of the way cos I really like some of the stuff he says later. But the fact that he even ATTEMPTED to try and joke about him and Rin having a relationship after we just had that really dodgy scene earlier in the season with him and Rin in his office makes me wanna kick him in the teeth. Anyways...

all the scenes that take place on these stairs are always stunning and i just wanted to show some appreciation of that first. ✨

I love this scene between Hatori and Shigure (I love most scenes between them tbh). I’m beginning to understand that Shigure is for sure the type who believes in ‘using the lesser evils to kill the greater evil’. And, I guess my view of Shigure gets a lot more complicated when I see him through that lens... 

But, I do secretly love very deep down in my soul when Shigure says stuff like this and kinda acts like a trickster God. I have a weakness for trickster Gods.

- Rin feeling both intensely protective about the kind people in her life vs wanting to push them away is actually very reminiscent of our favourite cat, Kyo! Gave me a lot of reminders of this scene:

That uncomfortableness with vulnerability and kindness runs strong with these zodiac kids. It’s sad.

Everyone eventually folds in to Tohru. God tier? (I’m still working on my Tohru is an empathetic God essay)

Aii-ya...

But again, I appreciate how this thought follows through to a resolution and message of ‘needing people’ at the end of episode 20. I’ll get to that later.

- Every time. I love how these moments of Tohru supporting the zodiac are always highlighted by being in the darkness of the night (or rain) to the brightness of the dawn (or clear skies). Poetic. Tohru is a god.

Shigure’s so on point in this episode. I know he’s essentially ‘seed planting’ but... I... might just give him the title of Best Boi for this episode? Yeah... why not 😅

I. LOVE. KIMI. SOOO MUCH. 😂 Her love for chaos is amazing and I love her! Again! Trickster Gods!!! <3 

I CAN’T. Kakeru bickering with Yuki like a scorned lover. Haru essentially being happy for Yuki and playing along (or maybe he was being fully serious, he would). Kakeru being ridiculous and dramatic. It’s alllll gooood!

- The whole scene with Shigure, Kyo, Yuki and Tohru at dinner with the dessert felt all so normal and domestic! It was great, we haven’t had many ‘regular’ scenes since season 1 and it brought me back a little (Also, Tohru noticing how Kyo has been paying more attention to her in the most Tohru of ways was cute as well 👀)

She did look really cute!!! Of course, Rin’s getting Outfit Appreciation cos of course. That’s it. 4 stars.

I love how this is worded and it’s the perfect description for a toxic family setting, in all situations (like... even without the whole cursed to turn into animals thing). Furuba gets so uncomfortably personal sometimes! And again, mixing this with Yuki’s lesson at the end of episode 20 leads to an interesting conclusion... which I wonder if people would be offended by it... but I’ll get to that later.

Lol, as much as I really appreciated that someone had finally asked Tohru the ‘real question’ of why she’s working so hard to break the curse anyway. Rin’s emotional intelligence and empathy to back down from pressing her about it was really lovely.

In general, I really love that none of the characters are just archetypes. Rin could’ve been written like the bad-ass one with an attitude and an awful past but she also ends up being so emotionally intelligent and caring and loving! SO much! 

Also, showing that love can have many unexpected ways of being displayed and expressed. Something which is an ongoing conversation throughout this series...

- The whole scene of Tohru being in bed but dreaming that she was back in her old apartment with her Mum was painfully amazing and definitely relatable. It’s always so haunting when dreams like that happen in general and the look on Tohru’s face at the end when she opens the door just added to it:

Chilling!

Especially if you find a parallel between Tohru’s desperation to be together with her mother to Akito’s desperation to be together with the zodiac...

Tohru is a god

EPISODE 20!!

- Tohru continuing to be a worried mother about Yuki is sweet but also... it’s like... ‘he’ll be okayyyy, Tohru!’ Haha but it’s okay, I think that it’s shown towards the end of this episode that this is kinda the nature of their relationship and Tohru was reassured that Yuki will be ok

Ah, Yuki! How cool of you!!! <3 

(Although the original sub version of this was hilarious with the sudden drop in his voice 😂)

- Goddamn it, Kakeru! Between him throwing the papers and him knocking the plants over the other episode, I’m beginning to think this is an impulse for him as well... 🤨

Haha, turns out I was right!

It’s really great how much Kakeru and Yuki’s relationship has grown to where they can trust each other with secrets or private stuff while they’re both separately dealing with their own lives. It’s just really nice :)

Said so well. Yuki gets Best Boi of this episode, of course.

But seriously, this is a really great display of having to accept trauma to therefore move on. Of course, what Yuki, Kakeru and Rin’s parents do is cruel and wrong in so many ways, but you can’t rely on the option that they’ll eventually get better because so many times that’s not the case.

Yuki specifically has come to a result of him accepting his fate of having these shitty people in his life through family ties but is also adapting the way he can move on personally and grow up despite his shitty circumstances. I said this might be controversial to say as it’s not on the victim who should have to change and be better, it’s the abuser. And there’s a chance someone could read this scene and feel like the show is saying otherwise but I also think there’s a realness to having difficult family members that you may have to be tied to through circumstances.

In conclusion, I’m not saying it’s on the victim of a situation to have to adapt to their situation, that shouldn’t be so. But, at this point, if any of these characters want to grow and develop and just live, they unfortunately need to fight for it. They can’t rely on their abusers somehow becoming better.

- Yuki’s growth is highlighted so much throughout this whole episode but I think I love the scene with his mother the most and showing that while Yuki has grown and no longer even acknowledges his mother as a threat anymore that his mother as well is growing and trying (again, in her own way). Also, Yuki’s awkward face remembering that moment was adorable :3

Aha! <3

- Lol I low-key wanna see Tohru as an evil step-sister as much as I wanna see Hana and Kyo pairing up to be Cinderella and the Prince just to see how chaotic it’d be 

- The closet scene with the black paint really could’ve gone worse if Yuki was still the same as he was in season 1! While Yuki still had an anxious reaction to the situation which was more than understandable (as Kakeru said <3), I love that he’s in a place now where he can almost pick himself up now, be honest about his feelings and he has other people around to go to now for help! In different friendship circles! Wow.

- Machi knocking down the door for him in a silent mutual acknowledgement is so weirdly... gentle.

A MOTHER!!!

I really like how the message interwove over two episodes in different contexts. And I hope I was clear in explaining how I saw how the messages came through in different perspectives.

Fruits Basket, coming through with the painful reality! 🥲

(Sorry for the weird ending) See you sooon!!
