#i wouldn't be surprised tbh! not sure if anyone else has touched on it

[ryukyuin]

random tangent but i'm rewatching certain eps of hazbin again and alastor's "i touch you, you don't touch ME" is giving very chrollo in my head.

if you asked me to elaborate i couldn't (its literally nearly 4AM) but the idea of chrollo initiating touch with someone, but not like. wanting them to do it BACK? yeah i ccan see it .

[purplesurveys]

1894

Do you still remember your first kiss? I do; happened when I was 16. In the grand scheme of things, it was a good memory and I'm glad it happened the way it did.

Are you happy with where you are relationship wise now? Yes. One relationship with lifelong trauma for takeout is enough for me, lol. I've learned to really like being on my own and genuinely see life being this way for me going forward.

How many kids do you want to have? I don't want kids of my own but wouldn't mind having a bunch of nieces and nephews that I can spoil and love as my own.

Have you ever purposely given someone the wrong number? No.

Who’s the last person you smoked weed with? I didn't do the act with them but I was with Hans and Reena when they smoked weed when we were in Thailand. I planned on doing it with them but backed out at the last minute because I was paranoid about potentially having lingering aftereffects during Yoongi's concert, especially because weed is still so foreign to me. I was more than happy to just drink soju at the time and be there to care for them if help was needed.

Are you mad at the last person who called you? Nope.

Who was the last person you talked to, other than family? Reena.

When was the last time you flew in a plane? Last month, to and from Vietnam.

Is there a girl you absolutely can not stand? Nah.

Have you ever set anything on fire? Nothing other than marshmallows I've fire-roasted, haha.

Have you kissed the last person you texted? No.

Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos? Nope.

Do you find tattoos attractive in the opposite sex? They can be, but I don't always find them attractive. Like it's not something I think people need to have.

Who is the person you have hurt the most? My mom and my ex.

Who is the person that has hurt you the most? ...My mom and my ex.

Have you smoked a cigarette today? I have not. I've vaped, but I haven't touched a cigarette in like 5 years.

Are you listening to any music? What song? I was, but my earbuds just died and I cannot be assed to get up and charge them right now. Maybe after taking this.

Ever had a person who was obsessed with you so much that it scared you? Thank god no, that sounds horrifying.

Is there anything silver near you? Yes.

Has anyone ever mistaken you for someone else? I'm sure it's happened.

Who are you talking to right now? Other than this survey, nobody.

Have you cried this past week? Oh yeah. Breakdown levels. I haven't cried the way I did since early this year. It surprised me tbh, but I needed to let it out.

Say your last ex walks up to you and hugs you, what do you say? I say something along the lines of a very wary "what's up" or "is something wrong"

Would you date someone right now if they asked? No.

Has someone recently told you something you didn’t want to hear? Yes. I was basically talked to in a way that was meant to make me feel stupid, and while I can admit that I could've done better in the context of that situation, there were a million and one other options on how to give me a lecture. Making me feel small isn't one of them.

Who was the last baby you held? I haven't held a baby in a very long time. I usually carry animals these days, lol.

Do you know anyone with the same birthday as you? Yes.

Would you ever get a tattoo? If so, of what? Honestly, no. I have a number of designs in mind but have no plans of actually pushing through with any of them because I have a fear of needles.

Have you purposely flirted with a friends crush? No...

Do you have any siblings that moved away to college? Yes, my sister stayed in a dorm for most of her college life until Covid forced us all to stay home. Her school was just too far and going to and from home everyday would have been too brutal for her.

Have you had any beer this week? Yeah, a couple of bottles at the surprise engagement party we threw for Hans and Angela. The guestlist was composed of completely different friend groups so I needed a bunch of alcohol in me to keep my energy going haha.

Is there anything you need to talk about with someone? I could but I just want to forget about it now and move on tbh. The person I feel wronged by is set to leave anyway, so I don't want to get into any deep talks at this point.

Are you wearing a necklace? Nope.

What does text #10 in your cell say?

Who was the last person who cried around you? My sister when we picked up a passed-away Miki from the vet.

What was the last thing you cried about? Work.

Who’s the last guy to give you roses? Hans, technically. He and Angela give me a bouquet every year for my birthday.

Do you think relationships are hard? Yes.

Did your parents do drugs when they were younger? As far as I know, no.

What color are your eyes? Dark brown.

Do you listen to music while you fill out surveys? Very seldom. I find it very distracting and I can't multitask like that hahaha.

Would you date someone that had a different religion from you? I honestly can't see myself dating anyone who is religious at all. Faith is such a heavy duty that I respect and acknowledge but seeing as I carry none of it, the clashes would just be too great to ignore.

Would you rather have nice eyes or nice lips/smile? Smile.

Do you have any secrets? Sure.

What’s your current problem? Eh, just work stuff I've spoken about as much as I could at this point. I don't intend on delving into it any further.

[kirarinlovesidols]

Mornings with genshin men as fathers part 4 and final.

Sumeru

Tighnari

‌Alright this was also another wild ride. Cause haha! Fennec foxes mate for life.

‌You see, Tighnari's parents have always warned him abt it. To not ever approach romance unless he was 100% serious abt it since his heart and body wouldn't be able to accept anyone else once he caught feelings™

‌So the forest ranger always seemed distant to that kind of thing and avoided the topic.

‌You can be absolutely sure it was angsty cause even if when you confessed to him he just. He rejected you. Kinda.

‌He said he liked you however his kin work differently and he didn't want to burden you. Since once his brain officially recognized you as his mate he would start getting slightly territorial and there were other things into the equation to consider.

‌You basically said: "fuck it, i don't think i'll ever love anyone else as much as i love you."

‌So here you are, 3 kids deep and married.

‌Man does it ever surprises you...how fast the night changes..../j

‌Tighnari is a great parent tho. It's almost like he was born to take care of others. His nurturing and caring but slightly firm nature makes him the best at it.

‌From a very young age he teaches them all the wonders and dangers of nature. Yes, your kids wouldn't be caught dead eating some kind of dubious mushroom or touching random animals.

‌He's very strict about that lmao.

‌But really it's very cute to see him taking care of them when they're sick or helping them with homework.

‌At morning, usually, the people in Gandharva vile abide by the invisible rule of: "Do not bother Tighnari unless you see him actually leave his house or if it's smth Collei can't handle."

‌The reasons for that is cause he wanted the other forest rangers to not depend on him as much. Collei herself also wanted to make a compromise to take some work off his back.

‌It took a while until the leader decided to abide by it, however everything has been fine so far and it gives him more time to spend with his family so the fennec isn't gonna complain.

‌You better like bland food btw. His senses are way too sharp for him to be able to handle anything that is too "spicy". So when he's in breakfast duty it's not gonna be very uh... remarkable. It's not like his food is tasteless, it's just that it's all very light and suave.

‌The kids prefer when you cook tbh but you do have to take in account how they're also fennecs so it can be overwhelming for them if you don't balance seasonings properly.

‌They're kinda clingy btw. It's not like you're complaining though! More often than not you have 3 adorable little foxes cuddling up to you to have their nap time. Sometimes Tighnari joins too.

Cyno

‌This man suffers of a very intense case of "resting bitch face". It's incredibly funny to see how his attitude changes in an entire 180 when he's around people he likes or trusts, specially your family.

‌ Ever since he learned that he was going to be a father Cyno has been slightly worried about it. What if...he ends up scaring them? Such concerns would always plague his mind, it's not like he's trying to be scary! It's just...his eyes are razor sharp and there isn't anything he can do about that. He was very much born with this face.

‌So you kinda have to reassure him. Cupping his face and slowly peppering kisses all over it you say it's going to be ok. There's no way the baby would think he's scary, it would probably be happy to see him instead.

‌Kinda made him feel better(not completely but enough to stop looking like he was about to commit a murder due to how much he's been frowning in worry).

‌The general mahamatra is essentially a very caring dad(maybe overprotective). Obviously, is part of the fathers in this list who aren't there as much as they wished they could be, however, he makes up for it in affection and spending quality time.

‌He loves holding his daughter to his chest. Cyno doesn't know why exactly, it just feels right and cozy. And judging by her expression she seems to like it too, as she seems to nuzzle him chasing his warmth.

‌Also just like scara, touch a single hair on this child's head wrong and you are losing that hand. With no warning! Your lost arm IS the warning.

‌Is very adamant about sharing workload. He knows he isn't home often so when he is, cyno takes over some chores and watches his baby so you can rest or so you can be free so you three can eventually enjoy being together.

‌Yeah he can cook and he's pretty good at it! He also might crack one food joke or two, please laugh, he wants to see you smile.

‌When your little girl is old enough to understand it, you suggest have family Genuius Invokation TCG nights every now and then.

‌It made Cyno incredibly happy, he hugged you almost to death.

‌Explain the rules to his baby in the easiest way to understand possible. And yet...he can still be kinda ruthless.

‌This man is convinced that letting her win will ruin her expectations for it so...he makes sure to crush her relentlessly until she finally starts to understand what's going on.

‌Truth to be told he only wanted to help her develop her critical thinking and strategic planning. They aren't bad skills to have and besides, they're both competitive. She's bound to learn from her mistakes.

‌Your daughter loves his jokes(at least until she hits her teens. She'll start thinking they're lame by then) and the he always has this really happy smile on his face when he makes her laugh.

‌Mornings with Cyno are very fun, let's put it like that. More specifically cause you have a man who has eyes that could literally cut someone's arm off with only the power of glaring wearing some pink frilly apron and doing domestic shit.

‌It's. The gap moe is great.

Snehznaya

Childe/Ajax

You and him are both gangsta until you have to wake up with triplets jumping on you.

You already told them not to but SOMEONE encourages and enables their chaotic behavior.

We already stablished they're all kinds spoiled, even if you try your best not to let it affect them too much, so good luck fighing against literal 4 puppy eyes(your fucking husband joined) when they ask you to have i don't know, ice cream for breakfast.

These boys are kinda...hyperactive so as soon as they're done eating they're already putting on their winter clothes and running outside to play in the cold wonderland that is Snehznaya.

Yes! They get sick easily cause of that. Do they ever learn? No.

Surprisingly Childe himself just made a compromise with them to protect their health. It's not like they couldn't have fun inside for a change.

It would spare your heart for sure.

So they make pillow forts, play with whatever toys they have or try their luck with genius Invokation TCG.

Ajax is absolutely tired of getting CRUSHED at the game by literal toddlers, this shit gets old fast.

He was built for irl combat not stupid card strategy games! (Yeah he's overdosing on copium rn).

He might sulk so give him a couple kisses and he'll be back to normal.

[blorbologist]

Given we know weapons can be infused with more abstract magical charges (animus, psychic damage) dyou think Percy would adapt, say, diplomacy to provide a psychic shock as well as a zappy one? In a similar vein, dyou think Ripley would amp up the psychic damage of Animus specifically to fuck with psychic Percy?

I'm not sure Percy would understand exactly how to make Animus do psychic damage - and tbh I think just adding another damage type to Diplomacy might be a bit redundant? Plus, the electrical damage already matches the Ruidusborn vibes well >:D Hm, I wonder if Animus' ability could be even more powerful, and instead of using that gland or whatever have Percy's own magic trigger it? hmhmhm

But I absolutely think Animus' psychic oomf is inspired by her research on Percy in this AU - hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Retort's enchantment might be a bit different, something passively leeching thoughts from those nearby, or otherwise more tied to Ruidusborn abilities.

This has also got me thinking about how Percy would make the List in this AU - I'm undecided if Orthax is still a thing or not, or if some other force takes his place (cut to Percy getting red storm dreams and using them to discuss engineering with the creepy figures), but I strongly suspect he might make his pepperbox catered to his abilities here.

Here's the thing: Percy is Ruidusborn. Even if he's less Intense a version than Imogen (mechanically probably Telepathic + Magic Initiate feats but still a Fighter), *he can generate sparks*. I have exactly Zero experience with guns and would need to discuss it with someone who knows more, but I suspect that knocking out the need to mechanically ignite the gunpower in a controlled fashion makes Percy's initial guns just... impossible for anyone else to use. Ripley would need to invest a lot more work into adapting them so people completely devoid of magic can use them... unless Percy does that himself (maybe Ripley can shut off his powers somehow and he fears about how he'll Vengeance everyone if that happens? idk). But I like the idea of setting back the development of guns by a bit, and maybe making Percy feel a touch less responsible for them being out in the world.

(DW DW he'll get crippling guilt in other ways <3)

[futurequibblerjournalist]

Toxic goes for wellll over half the ships on your blog /lh

Number one, I think the only time Igor or Snape would ever listen to that rock stuff would literally only if they're trying to cover the sounds of nasty loud fucking [especially Igor's dirty ass] because there is no way these mfers are not filthy little perverts. Like to the point where, while I don't hc it [Ur blog has convinced me to ship them btw so congrats on that 👍] that they ONLY fuck nasty for this reason, I wouldn't bat a mf eye if it turned out they only boned because no one else would engage in their kinks/fetishes/whatever

Also if you liked Out of the Flames I could send you some similar solos/songs w solos that are similar and you can see if you like them for anybody

Number two, while I don't think the lyrics to Hit Em Up fit Edmund at all, the way she sings makes me sort of see it.

Number three, while we're on the topic of Igor and Charity Burbage, do you think The Mighty Fall by FOB or Go to War by Nothing More would suit them? Especially in the lyrics

Okay but like,, over half of my ships are toxic in one way or another but would Toxic by Britney Spears specifically suit all of them?? I don't think so tbh

I also think Igor is much more in touch with his wants and desires and kinks and all that shit than Severus is because Severus is still stuck on that whole "am I,, desirable somehow?? Are you sure??" thing. I think Igor fucks much rougher with Severus than he would with for example Charity. Also in the wise words of another anon "homeboy obviously lays mad pipe" so in an effort to not completely wreck Charity with his humongous schlong he takes that whole thing out on Severus too. There are a lot more hair-pulling, sort of odd locations (not like,, public but picture some sort of free-use setting with Igor getting horny while Severus is making a sandwich or some shit and suddenly homeboy is trying to bend him over the table while he's still making the fucking sandwich. It's not even for Igor). I'm also,, I'm cooking up some kinks and shit for Igor over here while I'm making my list and it kinda started as a joke but I would not be surprised if he was a into piss kind of guy. IM SORRY BUT JUST,,, LOOOK AT HIM OKAY!!! I don't mean to bring piss into this but like,, he would let someone piss on him, I just don't think he gives a shit. I doubt you'd get Severus or Charity to piss on him tho but you know vjnfjbngjb. I don't think he'd actively seek it out per se but like,, a nonchalant thing for piss??? Idk if that's a thing LMAO

In short about the,, how does Igor and Severus fuck thing: I don't think they necessarily fuck nasty, I just think they are nasty and they fuck lmaoooo. They fuck rough and like,, the best Severus is gonna get after a round is a rag that should have been thrown out ages ago or a half dry wet wipe that Igor probably cleaned beer up with earlier or something like that vfnjbngjb

I love how this was,, completely unrelated to the actual ask, this was about them fucking to rock stuff (which eh, I could see it to an extent or Igor would just turn the volume up on his shitty and super chunky television) and suddenly piss has been mentioned on this blog jnvfjbng I'm sorry you guys but also I stand by it

I would love it if you sent more solos!!! Or just songs in general you might think suits anyone I would love to analyse them vfjnbjg

Okay I see what you mean cause like,, the vibes of this song is mean girl housewife gossiping at brunch half leaned over food they won't eat, hand covering their mouths as they whisper shit to each other and that is the correct vibes Edmund!!! He is actually such a gossip, I don't know what this man would do if he couldn't throw a "it's not lashon hara if it's true" every time he'd said something that someone else might think is a little too intense I'd be so so curious to see any other songs you think would fit him vibe wise or lyrics wise!!!

I especially love the whole "baby we should have left our love in the gutter where we found it" and "hell yeah, I'm a dick, girl, addicted to you" and I also ready like "You've got my heart And I've got your soul But are we better off alone?"

I think they're both close to capturing seabunny really well but there's just something missing a little bit, maybe they both feel a little too not toxic for me or something jnbgjbnjg idk I do think there's non toxic seabunny out there but I just don't think it happens in like,, a canon au you know?? And that's sort of where my brain goes with the whole war thing

[kyuala]

7 minutes in heaven with cravity

a/n: these are all assuming ur comfortable w it of course! no smut here.

serim

he wants to kiss you like he REALLY wants to kiss you but the first thing he's gonna do is make sure you're comfortable

homeboy does get a little bashful before making a move

holds you sooooo tight BRO his hands are gonna be firmly placed on your waist or your ass if u let him

doesnt wanna jump the gun or seem clingy but will continue things after the 7 minutes are up if u want tbh

allen

honestly before anything he can't believe his luck like he was expecting literally anyone else but you

a gentleman through and through like sir this isn't a date at a fancy restaurant but thank you for holding the closet door open for me anyways

wants to kiss you but is also down to just talk the entire time you're there

if you kiss he'll make sure to bring his A game to ensure you'll wanna do this again outside the closet hehe

will want to stay by your side the rest of the night tbh but he'll be chill if you need space

jungmo

nervous but excited. a lil blushy too

avoids eye contact unless you show him you want to kiss him too, then he's like 👁️👄👁️ at you

wants things to stay soft n chill and will take it slow bc honestly he's not worried abt the time limit. he just wants to enjoy this time with you

i feel like he would have the softest of touches and he would quietly giggle a lot too 😔 pls

he's a lil bashful afterwards but he's also like this :] the rest of the night

woobin

u know that surprised lil face he does? thats his reaction right up until you gotta walk into that closet

i honestly dont know what he would do lmfao i feel like he wouldn't rly try anything bc he doesn't wanna disrespect u somehow or he would just say something like "we dont have to do anything u dont wanna do"

idk man if yall do end up kissing i feel like he wouldn't really be as nervous outwardly? like he would be rly chill, take things slow and keep taking little breaks, reassuring you if needed

rly mysterious abt what went down in the closet when u both walk out like his friends will ask and he will just stay silent

wonjin

he's gonna be soooo cocky it's like he thinks you used telekinesis to make the bottle point to him yourself or something

once inside the closet he actually has no idea what to do lmfao

he WOULD be all talk if he wasn't also fucking insane so once he snaps out of it he'll be all up on you

walks out with this dopey look on his face and tells his friends he's found the one and that he's gonna marry you even tho y'all just made out a little bit

minhee

thinks this is weird

didn't even wanna play in the first place

if he's already attracted to you tho he might start to reconsider a little bit

will not go beyond a few kisses tho and his hands stay on your back at all times

walks out red as tomato like bro he just wants to go home (and maybe text you later to say he enjoyed himself)

hyeongjun

as soon as the bottle stops he just Freezes .

most likely to just blurt out a random compliment bc he's nervous and you're hot and that makes him even more nervous

he wants to come closer, he wants to kiss you but he just doesn't know what to do with himself so he'll just bashfully and uncertainly inch closer to you while dropping hints if you don't take the first step

it will all be rly cute and soft with him no matter the desire between you two, pls 🤕

taeyoung

excited but hides it well (he might do a lil victory dance when he thinks ur not looking)

tries to make light conversation first instead of jumping right into it, makes a few jokes here n there to break the tension

does not complain when you get right into the kiss though, i mean who is he to say no

will probably want to keep things chill for the 7 minutes

high-fives his friends when y'all walk out but he's not an asshole about it

seongmin

wants to die right from the get-go

if u thought minhee's blush was bad you should see seongmin's, it's BAD

will stay frozen in a corner as far away from you as possible if you don't take the initiative to get closer

his face is burning and his heart is thumping in his chest from a simple liplock but he battles it like a champ bc he wants you to think he's a good kisser and want to kiss him again

has logged out from the moment the bottle stopped like everything his friends or even you say to him afterwards just doesn't register he's in space man

[tennessoui]

would you ever do a hunger games au? like anakin and obi-wan in the arena and doing a katniss and peeta thing where they both survive? anakin maybe killing the competitors so obi-wan wouldn't have to? (just thinking that child killing is in character for him) anyway no pressure or anything I just haven't stopped thinking about a hunger games au of obikin and. I thought maybe you could do something with it!

i need you to know i shamefully snorted at the child murder thing i'm sorry and i'm also sorry this took so long and it's a bit all over the place and doesn't actually get into the Games at all (+ it's been years since I read the books so all inaccuracies should be tastefully ignored pls) this may not be what you asked for tbh but here you go!!

(content warnings: hunger games typical discussion of child murder, but nothing graphic)

(1.7k)

Anakin’s first emotion after his name is called is a strange sense of relief.

Good, he thinks. I’ll get to go with Obi-Wan. He won’t be alone.

He dutifully steps forward out of the crowd towards the stage, where the announcer is waiting next to Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan who is looking at him with an expression of naked devastation.

Anakin tries to convey that it’ll be alright, that it’s fine, that they knew this was a possibility. Sure, it’s Anakin’s last year eligible to be in the Games. Sure his nineteenth birthday is in two weeks, at which point he would become too old to qualify as a child to the Capitol, but what’s done is done.

Obi-Wan will be his mentor, because Obi-Wan has been the mentor for District Four ever since he won his own Games seven years ago when he was sixteen and Anakin was twelve.

That year’s known unofficially as the most boring Games in Panem history, but the Capitol loves how handsome Obi-Wan’s grown to be. So what if he didn’t kill his competitors messily or with a bloodthirsty joy? He’s so polite in his interviews all these years later, and look at those dimples!

It makes Anakin sick, every time Obi-Wan has to leave District Four and travel to the Capitol to be fawned over and stroked and used. His nightmares are always worse the weeks after he gets back, and he never lets Anakin hold him during them.

And it’s even worse during the actual Games, when Obi-Wan is put in charge of two children’s lives only to see them brutally murdered on screen a week later. The cameras always show his reaction when the competitors from District Four die. They must think he cries pretty or something.

Anakin hates the Capitol. He hates them for what they’ve done to Obi-Wan. What they’ve made him into

As he gets close enough to the stage, he notices that Obi-Wan’s hands are shaking slightly.

He doesn’t even listen to the name of the girl being called. She’s not important. She’ll be dead in a few days time. What’s important is Obi-Wan. What’s important is comforting him, is reassuring him. Is coming back to him.

This is the moment when Anakin resolves that these Games will become known as the quickest in history.

---

The girl is understandably sullen and upset on the train. “I should get a different mentor!” she demands. “It’s obvious you’re going to play favorites with him.”

Anakin doesn’t snap back because she’ll be dead in a few days. Though she really shouldn’t use that tone with Obi-Wan.

“I’m not playing favorites,” Obi-Wan insists. “I don’t have favorites.”

“You literally just wiped sauce off his mouth with your finger,” the girl points out. “And then he licked it!”

Anakin smirks at her. Of course Obi-Wan has favorites. Of course Anakin is Obi-Wan’s favorite. It took him years to wear down Obi-Wan until he allowed him this close, and years after that until he finally got to kiss him for the first time, just a few months ago.

If she thinks he’s going to give up any of his Obi-Wan time so she can get her hopes up about not dying in a few days, she’s got another thing coming.

But Obi-Wan shifts away from him and he looks guilty.

If Anakin could get away with killing the other person from his district, he would. But it’d probably make Obi-Wan sad.

“Is whining part of your strategy?” he asks waspishly instead. “I don’t think it’ll make you many allies.”

She has the nerve to look offended.

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan chides. Underneath the table, he squeezes his knee.

“Everyone in the district knows about you two,” she glares at him. “You haven’t exactly kept it a secret.”

Anakin hasn’t exactly tried to keep it a secret. The first night Obi-Wan had kissed him, he went straight home and told his mother, his neighbor, his schoolmates, his cat, and his ex-girlfriend.

(No one had been surprised, except maybe the cat.)

“It’s not fair,” she cries. “Who can I talk to to get a different mentor for me?”

“The ethics board,” Anakin smiles, all teeth, settling back into his seat and slinging an arm around Obi-Wan’s shoulders.

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan says again, this time more exasperatedly. “Robin, I promise I will be the best mentor you can ask for. It is my wish to see you survive as long as possible in the next few weeks.”

The girl jumps to her feet in outrage. “You can’t even say you want me to win!” she yells. There are tears at the corners of her eyes. If she were a little less annoying, Anakin would feel quite bad for her. Obviously Obi-Wan doesn’t want her to win. Anakin’s right here.

She storms out of the train compartment, her face in her hands. Anakin barely waits for the door to close before he’s slipping into Obi-Wan’s lap and throwing his arms around his neck with a groan. “God, I thought she’d never leave.”

He isn’t pushed away. Obi-Wan must realize they only have a handful of days left to be together before he goes into the arena.

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan says wearily, even as his arms encircle his waist.

Anakin presses a kiss to his nose and then another to his cheek. “It’s alright to have favorites, Obi-Wan,” he murmurs. “And she should know there’s no way she’s winning anything. Don’t waste your time.”

“I will do everything I can to make sure she survives as long as possible,” Obi-Wan repeats. “I don’t think I can survive anything else.”

Obi-Wan’s voice sounds shaky, so Anakin presses their lips together. Best not to talk for awhile.

------

“We should discuss strategy,” Obi-Wan says later that night through frantic kisses. “Sponsors, story, training--”

“I have a strategy,” Anakin murmurs back as he moves further down the bed, rucking up his partner’s shirt. “Win.”

----

“You look absolutely radiant,” Anakin tells the girl in an undertone while they’re in line for their interviews. She turns around to glare at him. The designer for their district has gone for the typical fish designs that people always associate with District Four, and they’ve dressed her up in a shimmering iridescent gown that flares at the ends like a fish’s tail.

Anakin’s own outfit is mostly a fishing net draped over one shoulder and a pair of tight pants. The designer, much to Obi-Wan’s embarrassment and Anakin’s satisfaction, had taken one look at his shirtless chest and decided to dress him in as little clothes as possible.

“Weird braid,” is all she says.

Obi-Wan had done it late last night when both of them had tired each other out and Anakin had curled up on his chest. After his Games, Obi-Wan’s hands like to do something. The repetitive motion of braiding and unbraiding Anakin’s hair soothes his demons.

It’s one of the reasons Anakin’s grown it out to his shoulders, much longer than is practical for his district.

Obi-Wan had gone to unbraid it, and Anakin had stopped him. He wanted to keep it. To wear it into the Games.

“Thank you,” he says generously. “I saw your score. 7’s not too bad.”

She sneers at him. “Did you celebrate your 11 with your boyfriend?”

“Oh sorry,” he winces. “Did you hear us? I’m just so bad at biting my tongue when he does this thing with his.”

She scoffs in disgust and turns back around. “I hope he has to watch you die.”

Anakin glares at her back. He knows he can’t kill her himself. But there has to be a way to hurt her and her chances and still have plausible deniability.

When it’s her turn for an interview, she’s vapid and pretty. She laughs and touches the interviewer’s arm.

“I’ve never spent much time in District Four,” the interviewer says jovially. “But tell me, really. Is everyone there as beautiful as the people you keep sending us? I mean. Obi-Wan Kenobi, ladies and gentlemen, am I right?” The audience laughs and hollers. Anakin hates them all. “And now you, Robin, and Anakin Skywalker. Damn!”

Robin--Anakin needs to stop forgetting her name--giggles high in her throat. “It was a very, very enjoyable train ride up,” she says with a stupid wiggle of her eyebrows. “Just this side of too long.”

The audience loses it.

Anakin loses it.

He can’t believe she’s sitting there publicly suggesting that Anakin shares Obi-Wan with anyone. With her. The nerve.

The camera pans to Obi-Wan in the crowd, who looks shocked, embarrassed, and deeply troubled.

Anakin won’t let this stand. He just hopes Obi-Wan forgives him.

The interviewer greets him excitedly when he walks out, and Anakin gives him a sheepish sort of smile.

“Lady killer Skywalker!” the interviewer says. Anakin laughs along with him. “All the girls back home must have been heartbroken to see you leave.”

“But I’ve heard they love watching me go,” he jokes with a charming smile. If that girl--Robin--can do it, he can do it much better. “There’s really only one person for me though,” he murmurs, letting his smile die.

“Oh?” The interviewer asks, leaning forward with interest.

“But sometimes I wonder if they’re only using me for my body,” he says, casting his eyes down. “I love them. Heart and soul, everything I am. But when I told them, they just laughed.”

This is technically true. The first time Anakin had told Obi-Wan that he was in love with him, the older boy had laughed his confession off, saying he was too young to know what he wanted.

“Oh, to be young and in love,” the interviewer sighs theatrically. “So your plan is to win the Games and then win her heart when you get back home?”

Anakin makes himself look sad. Tragically sad. Like he can’t bear to go on.

“They came with me,” he says.

If the audience’s reaction to Robin’s fake confession was huge, its reaction to Anakin’s words is even bigger. Of course they think he’s talking about the girl. That’s exactly what Anakin had wanted. Now he’s the broken-hearted boy and she’s the vapid, self-absorbed bitch. She'll have a hard time finding sponsors now.

It’s very, very hard to hide his smile, a task made exponentially more hard when he sees Obi-Wan bury his face in his hands.

“It’s alright,” Anakin tells the interviewer, without taking his eyes off of Obi-Wan. “I’ll survive.”

How BTS flirt

Saucy disclaimer: this is for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken as fact! This is my interpretation of the cards!!

Lol this is gonna be a fun one so buckle up and hold on to your socks

Seokjin

Lol oki

I think there's two types of jinnie flirting. Casual fun flirting and flirting because he's actually intrested

When he is actually intrested in someone and is trying to flirt its kinda slow moving and not very obvious

Its little things like, "your hair looks really nice today"

Things that are complements but he means it in a flirty way

He'd probably get a bit frustrated bc his flirting tactics are too subtle

I think he would also flirt by showing things he's intrested or possibly things that he's gathered

Kinda like a peacock

He wants the person he's flirting with to know that he's cool and show them what he has to offer but doesn't want to be... showy

He wants to maintain some kind of poise

But I think its because he's a little too shy to be up front and honest

But oh man when he's having fun and flirting for the fuck of it his whole goal is get everyone in a 10 mile radius flustered

He enjoys seeing people blush (I think its because he doesn't always take true compliments well and wants other people to feel good about themselves)

Jin

My boi

His tactics might be a little... strange.. at times

It's endearing though

And smooth

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a list of mid 2000's pick up lines on hand as a plan b

Yoongi

Legit before pulling any cards I heard "like a penguin"

I can't

Now to the fucking cards

WHY IS HE SO ROMANTIC??

What a soft man

He's a romantic flirt that doesn't use many words because he doesn't have to

You best believe he has coffee orders memorized, take out orders memorized, favorite drink always on hand

You needed something from the store?

He bought it.

Very much service and gifts because he wants to provide and kinda show his worth

"Here's this rock I saw. I know you like them so I figured I'd polish it for you too"

Lol he's wrapped around that pinky so tight

He's also very considerate and aware that unwanted flirting can be creepy and uncomfy so he's very very conscious of how he goes about things

I think flirting like this is almost... healing to him?

I think he really enjoys having someone to take care of (he definitely wants the same in return)

Yoon doesn't flirt. He'd rather be courting some one

Don't get me wrong though

He can definitely flirt and shit like that but its his secret weapon

He's also very confident when he flirts

He prefers flirting to come with no expectations

If anyone gets courted by min yoongi I want to see your stack of "rocks" (idk it could be bracelet charms or snow globes or postcards but I wouldn't be surprised if its actual rocks either)

Hoseok

Oki if you don't want to read some not pg then come back when I say it's safe lol

Hobi you horny mother fucker

Flirting is 100% foreplay

I CAN'T

Kissing is definitely in his flirting book

He flirts and establishes his dominance early on (hobi is a dom fight me)

Very confident in his flirting

LUSTY FUCKER

I get vibes that hobi would 100% fuck on the first date

(Kinky mf)

Omg hobi what a fucking tease too Jesus

Blah blah blah his flirting is foreplay bc he's horny and really wants to fuck.

Istg hobi just wait for a designated 18+ reading

Oki it's safe now

On the off chance that hobi isnt using his ridiculous flirting skills as foreplay

He is still very confident

And slow paced

He's trying to win the war not the battle

He is very push-pull when he flirts

It's with good intentions though

He's just really good with people and sweet talking

Very touchy

Flirting can also be a way for him to sus people out and decide if they are cool or nah

Flirting with hobi can lead to:

A. New best friend

B. Increadibly one night stand

C. The love of your fucking lifeb

D. A failed vibe check

Lowkey hobi would be kinda like wolf... very... driven?

Namjoon

A lot of compliments and just general good vibes

Lots of personal questions

"I bet you're really good at that. You should let me see sometime."

Definitely uses his smile

A lot

Very much the type to keep eye contact and be very attentive to the answers that are given to his questions

Its a wee bit methodical

But not in a weird way

He just wants to know where to go

Lots of emotional intelligence

Probs buys flowers or something cute

Very much reassuring and probably would be most flirty over drinks of some kind (like coffee or fancy wine)

Doesn't always flirt for the sake of romance but its pretty obvious when he is

He's just perfect

He gives complements often just in general and I think he absolutely knows how to use his charms

Very smooth

So so so so so witty

Definitely can get some nice giggles going

The way he flirts is honestly entrancing

We all know he is a fantastic talker

Probably uses a lot of beautiful language

Jimin

Very flirty

Flirty flirty

Also a little flexing involved!!

He'd be dressed to the 9's and very obvious

I definitely see him making everything about the other person

Very much peak libra behavior

He'd definitely feel flirty when he's feeling himself?

Flirting is almost like a first defense

Its easier to control the situation when he's flirting and its something that he loves to do

There's a lot of intelligence here with chim chim

He gets bored easily so flirting with him would be something engaging and intellectual as much as it is fun and laid back

Fancy fucking dinners

Flirty boi would like to have his match

Flirting is a competitive (fun) sport

He'd be a bit more toned down and less flashy if its someone he's actually trying to romance

Very fun and very exciting

Taehyung

Sexc

Think mysterious and cool as fuck

That's his flirting style

Very much must pass his vibe check

Be careful its a test

The way he flirts is by not saying anything about himself

He'd drop bits here and there but he has to make sure that you're worthy tbh

If someone makes it past the vibe check this is when the real flirting begins

He'd be very attentive and almost dedicated?

Like he sees flirting as a stepping stone

This is an investment and flirting would be tailored to the person he's flirting with

He's very intuitive and knows what people need

Very very very delacate

Also he might seem a bit intense when he flirts but its not necessarily a bad thing

Homie be regal at first but once he's comfy and is sure that they're compatible then he'd be way more inviting and open and giggly

Oh god he'd be the giggliest flirt on the whole planet

Also very considerate of boundries

Jungkook

Lol

He'd only really be comfy flirting if there isn't anyone else around

Very blushy

Kinda soft ngl?

It's cute soft and shy but he also has very strong boundaries

Flirting is something that he's not great at?

But he is very very very good at learning so the more he flirts the better he gets

This is an oddly personal journey?

He has to get over some stuff to get rid of some possible anxiety

He's also a little unconventional?

He has his own way of flirting and it'd be very adorable

Things like

"You're hair would be really cool if it was blue. I like it now too. So you should do whatever you like with your hair. Because its yours. And its nice. Yeah"

Its so CUTE

He'd overthink a lot too

What do I say? How do I act?

He'd also maybe throw in a cheeky back touch or two every so often

Shoulder touching too

Its very much like best friend flirting but koo means it as actual flirting

Honestly, if someone notices that koo is flirting with them it'd be best to just take the wheel and take the stress away

ICE NINE KILLS - The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood in-depth review

There's a saying that the sequel of something is always worse than the original. With this album Ice Nine Kills proved that this isn't true. While I'm personally not into horror as a genre, I really got into the first Silver Scream album last year, and even had the pleasure of seeing them live just before the pandemic broke out. I thought their gimmick was just enough to keep the listener/viewer interested in their material and this hasn't changed in the last 2 years. Spencer Charnas is a walking hook and scream machine, everything he touches turns to gold. Their videos (especially for this album) have really high production value that could hold up to pretty much any horror studio environment. I'm gonna list my first impressions and feelings regarding this album because there are just so much to talk about.

1. Opening Night...

The first track is a simple intro where there's a narrator who tells us the story of how these tracks were too messed up for the public therefore they had to be hidden away. There are spooky sounds in the background so you know you're in for a wild ride.

2. Welcome to Horrorwood

I didn't have to wait long for the first surprise of the album. This song is random and catchy and at times scared the ever living crap out of me. No spoilers though, it's a really fun track with no specific movie or book in mind, it's just about how Hollywood makes horror movies, and how people crave for this kind of fucked up stuff.

3. A Rash Decision

I instantly got lost in the lore of all these movies. Cabin Fever is one movie I've never even heard about before this album, so I have nothing to explain at that department. This is a fast paced song, especially the chorus (this musical tool will return later in the album). We have everything we expect from an Ice Nine Kills song: catchy chorus, random guitar noises, clean slow bridge, the whole package.

4. Assault & Batteries

The second single off the album, about the movie called Child's Play. I know about the lore of this movie how this child's toy was posessed by a serial killer and so on but the narration and the lyrics do a great explanation too. It's surprisingly heavy, not as catchy though (at least in my opinion) as the first single. The child toys' noises that play every once in a while give this song the extra creepiness tbh, it's a solid track but I think there's better single material on the album than this one

5. The Shower Scene

This song convinced me that Spencer has hooks even under his skin (that would be spooky as hell, wouldn't it). This chorus is so melodic that it's borderline annoying. I think this would've been a better single instead of Assault & Batteries or Rainy Day, since Psycho is a classic movie that literally everyone and their mom know about. Plus it has that nice chorus, the tempo is not as fast, it would've been perfect. Oh and of course they couldn't miss the iconic killing noises in the breakdown. Fucking genius

6. Funeral Derangements

Pet Sematary is one of the movies that I've never wanted to see, despite liking Stephen King as a writer. This song proves that it would scare the fuck out of me for sure. This is the last single they dropped before the album and oh boy, oh boy did it deliver. I thought this is the peak heaviness that metalcore ever gonna get (Spoiler alert: I was wrong). Spencer got such a nice range for this song, I can't imagine anyone else pulling this off. The chorus is melodic and fast paced (just like the title song), the breakdown is absolutely crushing with probably the lowest Spencer has ever got. The WRATH OF GOD LAYS BENEATH THE SOIL line is literally burnt into my memory, it's such a heavy moment. Love this song as a whole, great concept, great execution.

7. Rainy Day

The Resident Evil series I only followed when it comes to videogames, but I know just about enough that the song made sense to me. The umbrella corporation, the whole virus thing (this is the second song about a mysterious virus, I wonder why). The video for this song I think is way better than the song itself, despite it sounding like Obey by BMTH in the intro. The song is good and all but for a single... meh. The game over breakdown is a great tribute to the videogame side of the franchise though, I respect that addition a lot.

8. Hip To Be Scared (feat. Jacoby Shaddix)

The first single off the album and I must say, this song got me hyped more than I ever thought. As I mentioned, I'm a chicken when it comes to horror and American Psycho was one of the movies I was scared shitless of. I know it's such a weird choice because the movie is not even that horrifying but as a kid I saw glimpses of the bloodier parts and it got stuck to me. Hear me out, this song literally got me to watch the movie I was so terrified of. The pop culture references hit just differently especially the addition of Hip To Be Square by Huey Lewis and The News and the "Hey Paul" breakdown. Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach is a great feature in the video, however his singing style is not as distinguishable to Spencer as I expected so I didn't even know he sings the last chorus before I watched the video.

9. Take Your Pick (feat. Corpsegrinder)

Remember the part that I said Funeral Derangements was the track that I thought was gonna be the heaviest? Well I was FUCKING WRONG. Of course I heard that Corpsegrinder of Cannibal Corpse is gonna be a feature on the album but I didn't expect it when I heard the first couple notes of this song. I was like damn, this track is one of the heavier ones, no catchy chorus, no nothing. Then the Man, the Neck, the Legend himself hit me with those brutal growls and I was like what the fuck, this isn't the album I signed up for. Naturally then I realized that not even Spencer could pull those lows off, it was Corpsegrinder all along. This track is DISGUSTINGLY heavy. Like to the point that it gave me chills. I don't even like brutal death metal yet this is one of the highlights of the album for me for sure.

10. The Box (feat. Brandon Saller of Atreyu and Ryan Kirby of Fit For a King)

Ever wondered what it would be like to have the lovechild song of the Backstreet Boys and any 00's metalcore band? Well here's your answer. This song kept the heaviness of the previous one, added a hella catchy chorus with double bass drums and voilá. The other highlight of this album, even though the lore is still a little bit foggy for me. (Yes I've never seen Hellraiser either, what a blasphemy). The features are great and the song itself is awesome despite it being all over the place at certain parts.

11. F. L. Y. (feat. Buddy Nielsen of Senses Fail)

Song starts off as pop punk then turns into the typical sound of the mid-00's emo post-hardcore scene. Of course I shoud've expected this because duh, Senses Fail. Kind of a forgettable song for me, I don't know it just didn't stand out after Take Your Pick, The Box and the better singles. The feature is great though, sent me down a nostalgia trip.

12. Würst Vacation

Okay this was the first song I literally burst out laughing at. I know it's supposed to be about the movie, Hostel and how a vacation could be this fucked up, but I couldn't help but laugh at the 1,2,3, (in german) DIE intro and the whole Rammstein mimic just because... evil tourist organization connects to European metal? The song is great and because of the inappropriateness of the title and the gimmicks it's not forgettable at all, I've never thought I'd laugh at something this fucked up but apparently I did

13. Ex-Mørtis

I thought this was gonna be the closing track because it's so similar to the last album's closer, "IT is the end". It's a.. ska song? with an old school jazz vibe and rhythm? It's random but to be perfectly honest compared to the other great tracks before, it's just a little boring. I know again I don't know the lore of The Evil Dead but I think the track should be enjoyable without knowing the background so this gets a solid meh... from me.

14. Farewell II Flesh

The nice wordplay here lets us know that this is the farewell to the Silver Scream sequel. Just as they did on the prequel. The movie this track is about is Candyman so of course there are lots of references to honey and bees. This is the second song about evil insects (just like there are 2 songs about killer viruses) and to be frank this is the better one. Fast paced chorus to close the record to give it a nice little frame, bee sounds so that we don't forget this is still about a horror movie, and a worthy breakdown to finish the record once and for all.

I thought this was gonna be my AOTY this year. I'm just a very teeny-tiny bit disappointed. For me the Spiritbox album is just a little bit better, the new Slaughter to Prevail record is great but I wouldn't call that my AOTY. This album is great, I'm gonna listen to it many many times for sure but those 2-3 kinda "flawed" tracks definitely threw me off.

[buffysummers]

I agree! I watched BtVS in real time (I'm old) and i loved Spike in seasons 2-5. He was a great villain and then an interesting character who I think could have been redeemed. But then the idiot writers decided to write him attempting to rape Buffy AND THEN gave him this stupid storyline that was basically Angel v2 (so many people at the time made fun of how often "but he has a soul now!" was used in s7 to try to get the audience to ignore the sexual assault). And I couldn't deal with him anymore. Love JM, but the writers ruined his character.

I think his character was already ruined even before the attempted rape. I see some Spike stans/Spuffies on here trying to claim that him attempting to rape Buffy was completely out of character and I just really question if they watched the same show as me. The attempted rape was definitely IN character, especially after he spent an entire season emotionally and physically abusing Buffy. He made her his victim and used her depression as a way to manipulate and take advantage of her. He was a soulless demon, there is nothing to indicate that he would be against harming anyone, and the season does a very thorough (the writers had a real ZEST for torturing Buffy) job making sure we as an audience understand this.

I agree that the writers DEFINITELY used the soul thing as a way to excuse everything he did or else they wouldn't have brought it up in literally almost every conversation concerning him. And it's always Buffy boasting about him having a soul. To be honest, I think Buffy has a very complicated relationship with what it even means to have a soul and a lot of this stems from her (residual) trauma from Angelus. I am actually working on a meta (although I haven't touched it in weeks) that discusses the very complex idea/exploration of what it means to have a soul in the Buffyverse. It's so fascinating and not as black and white as Buffy would like to believe it is.

I wasn't aware that people made fun of the soul thing but I'm not surprised they did but it's kinda ironic considering the poking fun they did in 6.08 about a vampire having a soul being lame sjdhdsg

Like I said, I can get on board with comic relief Spike and frenemy Spike but hero Spike, romantic interest Spike is a hard no. The writing isn't there to support it but tbh I don't think I'd ever be able to forgive Spike for what he does to Buffy even IF his redemption arc was done well. She's my favorite character of all time I just can't forgive him even if she can. She's the hero though, not me. I'm allowed to hold grudges 🤪

hot cocoa

oikawa x reader domestic fluff

I just felt like telling y'all where I got my inspo from bc I personally LOVE when writers do that. anyway enjoy y'all, I hope there's not grammatical mistakes. im still new to writing fics on Tumblr so give me some feedback please!

 Finally, a day off. How long has it been since your school shut down for a snow day? Had to be two years at the very least. You had been itching for a day off for so long now, especially with all the upcoming exams you had, life had become a lot of all work and no play. Same thing goes for your boyfriend of 2 years, Tooru Oikawa. Because of his strict volleyball schedule - and having university on top of that - your boyfriend had a packed schedule. Sure, you complained about work and school, but you always knew Tooru had a much heavier weight on his shoulders than you did. Still, he always managed to seem more upbeat than anyone else you knew, he always seemed to have time for you and gave you all his attention. Which is why it was no surprise that your loving boyfriend was more than excited about today’s day off and he intended to spend every second with you.

 As if you don’t already live together…

  You were seated at the kitchen table, mug of coffee in one hand and your phone in the other. You mindlessly scrolled through instagram as you took periodic sips of your coffee, enjoying the peacefulness of your apartment. In the window next to you, a moving picture of a lovely snow storm was taking place, begging for your attention. You took your eyes off your screen for a moment to watch the storm unravel before you, it was calmer than it was last night, but the wind still certainly shook all the trees. A warm smile planted itself on your face, content with the abundance of snow you were receiving, considering its been a couple years since you last got to experience this. 

 Your blissful moment of silence was soon broken by the sound of your boyfriend, slamming the door to your bathroom open and revealing his robed body oh-so dramatically. 

 “Do you really have to make an entrance even when leaving the shower?” You asked half-bored and half-amused. 

 “Don’t act like you don’t enjoy every second of it.” Your boyfriend smugly replied, making his way over to the table with you. 

 You shook your head, biting back a grin, “You’re so humble, Tooru.”

 He giggled out an, “I know.” 

  You continued your scrolling on your phone, becoming a bit bored of it after awhile. Your boyfriend circled around the kitchen table and planted himself behind you in your chair. The familiar smell of an earthy-floral cologne mixed with fresh mint filled your nostrils as he wrapped his arms around your body lightly, letting his chin rest on your shoulder. You hummed lightly at his soft touch, becoming slightly engulfed in it.

 “You know what we’re doing today, right?” The fluffy-haired man questioned.

 “I don’t, what are we doing?” You wondered, curiously.

 “Playing in the snow obviously, duh.” Your boyfriend replied so matter-of-factly.

  You chuckled at his words, you knew he’d want to enjoy the snow today - as did you - but you weren’t expecting him to ask so early. 

 “Yes, we must, but can’t I shower and study a bit first?” 

 Your boyfriend stood up from his position abruptly, making you turn your head towards him. 

 “Y/n, under no circumstances am I letting you do school work today, it’s our one day off.” 

 “But-“ 

 “Nope, no buts.” He grabbed your arm and tugged you out of your chair, “Now come on, let’s bundle up.” 

 “Tooru-“ 

 After a solid 20 minutes of you complaining to Tooru that you still needed to shower and him assuring you that you’d much rather take a hot shower after being in the cold - he was right of course - you two managed to bundle yourselves up in a few layers of thick clothing, ready for the cold outdoors.

  Waddling down the stairs of your apartment to the front door, you struggled to put on your snow gloves, hoping and praying that no skin between materials would be exposed. Oikawa followed behind you, adjusting the fluffy beanie that covered his forehead. The two of you stood before your front door, staring at the silver door knob in anticipation. 

 “Ready?” You two asked in synchronization. 

  You giggled, then tugged the door open, exposing the blinding white scenery before your eyes. Your boyfriend smirked to himself, before unexpectedly picking you up bridal style and running out the front door, kicking the door closed with the heel of his boot. 

 “Oh my god- Tooru! Put me down you idiot.” You exclaimed, immediately wrapping your arms around his neck. 

 “Not after calling me an idiot I won’t.” He smirked down at you

 “Tooooruuuu.” You whined, the noise bringing attention towards the two of you from a family in the next apartment. A couple with their two kids, who were currently making snow angels and now giggling at the sight of you and your child of a boyfriend. 

 “What’s the magic word?” The stubborn man persisted. 

 “Flatty-kawa.” You teased, only making the man’s grip on your body tighter.

 “Hey, no fair! I swear you and Iwa-chan love to mess with me.” He dropped his head sullenly, feigning sadness. 

  You rolled your eyes at your dramatic boyfriend, “Oh boo-hoo, you know you love us.” You stuck your tongue out at the end of your sentence. 

 Oikawa chuckled, then smirked once remembering his true intention of holding you like this. 

 “Oh god, what are you-“
 

  Your boyfriend responded by swinging you into a pile of snow, your body flailing in the air for a good second before plummeting to the ground with a muffled “oof”. 

  The mischievous man above you couldn’t hold in his laughter, his eyes squinted shut and his cheeks tightened as he doubled-over in hysterics at your expense. You remained in your exact position, laying flat on your back with the cushion of the snow under you as you stared up at the blue sky above you. You slowly sat up, burning death glares into the side of your boyfriends head, as he laughed so hard that he had to bend over and hold onto his knees. You took advantage of the state he was in and reached over to grab one of his legs. You tugged as hard as you could, but curse your athletic boyfriend and his very toned legs. He only laughed more at your failed attempt to trip him, but all laughter was soon dismissed as he took a step and slipped on some ice. Your idiot of a boyfriend tumbled down next to you with a frightened look in his eyes, his right arm catching his fall. 

  Now was your turn to laugh, you fell backwards onto the snow as you clutched your stomach from laughter. It took you a few seconds of controlled breathing to calm yourself down. 

  “Wow, now that was pretty funny Tooru, I have to say-“ 

  You're cut off by your boyfriend tackling you on the ground, pinning your arms down - as best as he could with gloves on - and tickling your sides. Once again, there was only so much he could do with the amount of layers you had on. Even so, you still twitched and squirmed from the contact, slapping your boyfriends strong arms to stop.

 “Please- Tooru. I’m..I’m still so out of breath from befor- NO MORE PLEASE.” He tickled you relentlessly, you were about ready to kick him in the balls before he stopped. 

 “Alright, that’s enough payback I guess.” The boy grinned from above you, clearly very happy with himself. You were too out of breath from the previous laughing plus the tickle attack to retort. 

 “Yeah, yeah.” You lifted a shaky, glove-covered hand up to caress his face. He ignored the cold feeling of the glove being pressed against his face and just smiled down at you. He leaned in slowly, lips barely brushing yours. You felt your body heat up, despite being in the snow, from his action. He teased you by not breaking the space between your lips. You tried to go in for it yourself, but he quickly pulled away, smirking down at you.

 “Tooru…” You meant to whine, but it came out as more of a breathless whisper, coated with desperation. 

 He noticed this and leaned in close again, this time kissing your cheek.

 “Hm?” He tested you. 

 “Kiss meee.” You pucker your lips for him, he couldn’t help but grin at your desperation.

 “Fine.” He gave in more easy than you expected, closing the distance between you and pressing his lips to yours. The kiss was simple, it felt as if it would be quick and he would pull away, but he moved his lips rhythmically to deepen the kiss, turning it soft and sensual. You two slowly made out, your arms still pinned by his hands and your back still pressed into the snow. You only noticed then that his knee was in between your legs, had it been there before? 

  The longer you two made out, the more desperate the kiss became. Your two bodies aching for warmth had you guys grabbing at each other mindlessly. Oikawa was the one to pull away.

 “Y/n, we have a snow man to make!” The chocolate-haired boy released you from his grip as he sat up. 

  You pouted at him, clearly flustered and he knew that. Your cheeks were tinted a rosy pink, he was unsure if that was from him or the cold weather. He hoped it was him.

 “No pouting, you’ll get more of that later, I promise.” He winked at you while offering you a hand up. 

  Your eyes lit up at his words, as much as you hate to admit it. You took his hand and let him pull you up onto your feet. The two of you became preoccupied for the next 20 minutes, evidently dedicated to the snowman you were constructing. You packed while Oikawa rolled the snow, making a dream team of snowman builders. 

  After struggling to keep the second part of the snowman’s body upright - and a lot of you bossing around Tooru to help you pack more snow - you two were finally able to start forming the head.

 “Wait! Hold that thought, can you run inside and get buttons, a carrot and blueberries?” You interrupted your boyfriend’s rolling.

 “Sure thing baby, but why blueberries?” Your boyfriend furrowed his eyebrows.

 “You'll see don’t worry, I'll go look for sticks while you’re gone.” You rose to your feet and dusted off the snow on your pants.

  While Oikawa ran inside, you made a small trip around the outside of your apartment building, collecting a few sticks in your hands. You returned from your loop around the area to see your boyfriend exiting the house with his arms full. You jogged up to him and helped him with the items, the both of you returning to your snowman. You kneeled down and again, both of you were at work. You let Tooru smooth out the lumpy pieces of snow while you prepared your items. 

  You started with the eyes, using two black buttons. Then, proceeded with the carrot, as a nose of course. Next, the blueberries were placed one after another, curving into a smile. Lastly, you stuck the two sticks into the snowman’s body for two arms. You sat back content, admiring the work of you and your boyfriend.

 “Wait.” 

  Tooru realized that you forget the classic 3 buttons on the snowman’s torso, so he reached over and placed them himself. 

 “Beautiful, baby.” You praised your thoughtful boyfriend for his addition. 

 The two of you stood a few feet away from your snowman, arms intertwined as you admired the creation before you. Obviously, you both pulled out your phones and snapped a quick picture. 

 “Ooh, almost forgot.” You tugged your boyfriends arm to settle down onto the snow again with you, “We have to sign our artwork!”

 Oikawa furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, as he had never heard of such a thing before, “Sign?” 

  You nodded, “Mhm. Me and my dad used to always make snow angels side-by-side in front of our snowman, to kinda sign it somehow. Does that make sense?” You inquired your boyfriend by looking up at him. 

  His heart absolutely melted at your sincere words, he smiled at you warmly in return. 

 “Yes baby, it makes sense.” 

  The two of you laid side-by-side in the snow, far enough apart to move your arms and legs back and forth. Once finishing, you stood up carefully - to not wreck your snow angel - and helped Tooru up too.

  You both embraced before your creations, cheek pressed to his chest as you gazed at all the love you two created. Cocoa-colored eyes flickered away from the snowy sight to bore down into yours, forever staring into each others souls. You stood on your tip-toes to place a soft kiss on your lover’s lips, one which he returned graciously. 

                                                             - 

  An hour later, Oikawa was found in the kitchen boiling a kettle of water, preparing to make you both hot chocolate. He worked diligently, adding marshmallows and whipped cream to his creations, then deciding to add a sprinkle of cinnamon too. 

  You emerged from the bathroom, hair freshly wet and combed through, but dressed warmly in a pair of sweatpants and one of your boyfriend’s hoodies. You circle the kitchen table and plant yourself behind Tooru, wrapping your arms around his firm torso. 

 “I got the fire place to work.” The boy in your hold spoke proudly.

 “Really? I knew it felt warmer in here. That’s great baby, thank you.” 

 He hummed a welcome in response, adding the last finishing touches to your drinks. 

  You pulled away as he handed you a red Christmas mug, filled to the brim with whipped cream and cinnamon. You brought the mug to your lips, noticing how your boyfriend leaned against the counter behind him, awaiting your reaction. You sipped the hot drink cautiously, enjoying the rich chocolate taste that invaded your mouth, the whipped cream and cinnamon really complemented it too. Your eyes lit up in delight, already telling Tooru that you loved it without words. 

 “Fuck, that’s delicious.” You cursed causing a chuckle from Oikawa. You always found the funniest way to say things during such soft moments, and it always amused the hell out of him. 

  You both seated yourselves on the sofa in front of your fireplace, soaking in the warmth from the flames. You sat back in the couch comfortably, the two of you intermittently sipping at your cocoas and rambling to each other about everything under the sun. After finishing your drink not long after Tooru, you placed the mug on the coffee table in front of you, then scooted yourself closer to your boyfriend. The flames of the fire had died down a little, but they were still there to keep you two warm. You wrapped your arms around your boyfriends waist and nuzzled your head in the crook of his neck, inhaling his divine scent. 

 “Thank you for today, I had a lot of fun.” You mumbled softly into his skin.

 “Of course, so did I. I wanna make so many more memories like today.” Tooru confessed, nuzzling into your damp hair. 

 You looked up at him, gazing into his rich eyes once again. It often felt as though you’d never get over the way his gaze made you feel. Years and years could go by and you’d still melt under his stare. 

 “Me too, and I know we will.” 

  He smiled down at you, cheeks warm from your beauty and the burning fire 5 feet away from him. He softened the smile on his lips to fit in between yours, caressing your cheek with his hand as he enveloped your lips in a kiss. This time, the kiss didn’t end abruptly after heating up. It only got hotter and hotter, ‘till both of you pulled away breathless. The breath of air lasted a few seconds, before you grabbed his face and continued the passionate kiss again. Lips massaging each other and both mouths full of the other person’s tongue. You tugged at Tooru’s hair, eliciting a moan from him, vibrating from his body into yours. He took this action from you as a sign to pull away and begin kissing the sensitive skin on your neck. You breathed heavily at the contact, tangling your fingers in his hair even more. After a few moments of pure bliss, you felt your lover pull away. Almost disappointed, you looked up at him with furrowed brows. He simply stroked the smooth skin on your cheek and spoke so low and so soft that he was barely audible. 

 “Let’s make love by the fire tonight, darling.”

Lately, I've found myself drawn to stories ( and I mean drawn to as in envisioning those stories in my head, thinking them through to the very last detail, not reading, let alone writing them down, because I've long since accepted that they will never turn out quite the same on the paper ) where Red is the one who'd been seriously hurt and, therefore, rendered unconscious for an indefinite amount of time and worried Liz is the one who doesn't leave his side, hoping and praying and pleading that he would wake up. Probably, something that has to do with how unfair it is that we've seen Red keep vigil by hurt!Lizzy's side – playing music for her, holding her hand, reading to her etc. – a number of times and yet, over the course of 8 seasons, never have ever been allowed the pleasure of seeing Liz do the same for him ( not even when he was shot – because she left to retrieve the Fulcrum and couldn't come back until the fight was over – or when he was poisoned – because she'd been waiting to be cleared to see him and he ran away the moment he wasn't actively dying, because that's Red for you all ), even though she loves and cares about him as much as he loves and cares about her.

I mean, just imagine the possibilities!

Liz pacing around the waiting area of Red's mobile hospital while he's in surgery, unable to think about anything else other than how he looked – battered and broken and barely alive – when they've found him and how his head rested in her lap ( she could almost convince herself that he was merely dozing, if he wasn't so deathly pale and still and there wasn't so much blood on his clothes and her clothes and her hands and the backseat of the car ) and his hand was limp in her death grip as they rushed him to his doctors and she whispered words of reassurance and encouragement to him even though she knew he couldn't hear her and how she had to fight the instinct to curl around her lover and snarl at anyone who would come close because she can't let him be hurt further as the medics took him away from her, exchanging observations and orders that didn't sound particularly reassuring. She's also acutely aware of the fact that Red is fighting for his life – there, just a few feet away from her – and, though he's the strongest man she's ever known, he may not win, and so she makes a promise to the empty air in front of her that she will kill him herself if he dares to give up on her and Agnes like that now, when they've just reached the good, right place in their relationship, just confesses their feelings to each other. At some point, Dembe most certainly pulls Liz in for a hug, letting her cry in his shoulder, doing his best to comfort her ( even though there's nothing that can bring her more comfort than Red's hug, when he – alive and whole – wraps his arms protectively around her and holds her close and lets her hide from the whole world in his arms, his chest, his shoulder and neck – wherever she prefers to burrow her face at the time – and the memory itself makes her cry harder, because there's a possibility that he will never hug her like that again ), even though he's just as worried and scared as she is, and Mr Kaplan helps Liz clean up, washing away Red's blood from her hands and producing seemingly out of the thin air fresh clothes for her to change into.

Red, of course, pulls through the surgery, beating all odds, and Liz's heart floods with relief at the good news before sinking when the doctor explains to her and Dembe and Mr Kaplan the extent of Red's injuries and that it's impossible to say when – or even if – he wakes up.

And so the waiting game begins. Liz doesn't leave Red's side, holding his hand, stroking his knuckles with her thumb and never letting go, constantly talking to him and reading to him and even asking Dembe to bring the record player and some records from the Bethesda apartment to play to him, hoping that it would elicit some kind of response from him. Yet, as they days go by, there's not a single, smallest sign that he's aware of anything that's going on around him, that he's still there somewhere and is trying to find his way back to her, to them – he doesn't stir, doesn't so much as flutter his eyelashes, and Liz grows more desperate with each passing day, even though the doctor assures her that Red's slowly but surely improving ( but she can't see it with her own eyes, and if she can't see it, she's less likely to believe it, the more time passes with him just lying there, undisturbed by the loud, chaotic world around him ).

And then there's Agnes... While Liz keeps vigil at Red's bedside, the babysitting duties are split equally between Aram and Samar, Charlene and Cooper, Ressler and Audrey and Dembe and Mr Kaplan. Yet more often than not whoever picks little Agnes up from school and / or her ballet classes brings her over to the safe-house where Liz and Red are. She doesn't seem to be as unnerved by Red's state as her mommy is, climbing on his bed each time she visits ( after giving her mommy the biggest hug, of course ) and leaning in close to him, examining his face thoughtfully before half-asking, half-stating "He's still tired, mommy?". And Liz usually replies with a hoarse "Yes, baby" because she doesn't trust herself not to get choked up if she tries to answer more eloquently. Agnes simply nods then, satisfied with the explanation why he hasn't woken up yet, and settles against Red's side – mindful of his injuries and the spider web of wires and tubes connecting him to all sorts of monitors and machines – and either naps ( especially, on ballet classes days ) or tells her mommy and Red ( she talks to him just like Liz does much too easily – promising him to show him the new moves she's learnt when he wakes up etc. – as if she's already done that before or seen anyone else do that... unbeknownst to Liz, she did both – when Liz herself was in a coma, Agnes both saw Red talk to her mommy and was encouraged by him to talk to her, too, because it may help her mommy sleep easier and maybe she'll get better sooner and finally wake up ) about her day or does her homework or draws ( more often than not, she draws either cards for Red to read when he wakes up or just things she wants him to see ). And when the time comes for her to leave, she always kisses Red on the cheek, wishing him "sweet dreams" and to get better soon, and then gives her mommy, who tries so very hard not to tear up but fails miserably, a hug and a kiss, too, and tells her frequently that she shouldn't cry because Red is just too tired, just like she – Liz – once was, and that he just needs to sleep a bit more.

And when the door behind Agnes closes and Liz is sure her daughter won't see / hear her, she breaks down hard, in big, ugly sobs, because her little girl shouldn't be acting so naturally in this kind of situation and because she wishes so hard that Red just woke up, because she can't do this, any of this, without him.

In the end, once his body has healed itself enough and he regained enough of his strength, Red, of course, does wake up. It's a slow process, and Liz thinks she might either faint or go mad from the overwhelming feelings that are swirling inside of her when Red moves for the first time in what seems to her like forever – squeezing her hand feather-lightly – and when he leans slightly, unconsciously into her touch when she strokes his cheek – out of habit, without even expecting any sort of reaction from him and being pleasantly surprised – and when he opens his eyes for the first time – it's a brief occurrence, with his eyes slipping shut tiredly again after just a few moments, and he's still pretty much out of it, apparently, not even noticing her presence by his side, but for Liz it's a major event – and when he finally, finally looks directly at her – alive and conscious and alert – and calls her "Lizzy". He's still weak and his voice sounds terrible and Liz knows she shouldn't let all of her pent-up feelings – the fear and despair and frustration and love and relief and exhaustion – out on him like that – he's just woken up, after all – but she can't hold back the tears nor the jumbled mess of "thank you"s and "I love you"s and " "I've missed you"s and "I'm so so happy you're back" and "I was so worried" and "Don't ever scare me like that again" that spills from her lips as she leans in to kiss him lightly and give him the gentlest of hugs...

(Since I'm not a ficwriter and, therefore, have no intentions of using this pile of ideas/images/feelings myself, I wouldn't mind at all if you or any other writer drew inspiration from this rambling of mine)

Ahhhhh 😭😭😭 Are you sure you're not a fic writer, anon?? Cause this reads like some quality hurt/comfort to me!! 🥲🥲 Honestly, this is a lovely scenario to imagine & it gives me a slightly bitter sense of satisfaction to think of Liz suffering through just a fraction of the time Red spent by her side while she was in her coma... especially if it's the catalyst for fEeLiNgS to emerge tee hee bc, you're RIGHT, we were woefully deprived of those situations in the show & I'll never not be sad about it tbh. More specifically, things I love the most about this in no particular order: Liz having to "fight the instinct to curl around her lover & snarl" *swoon*, Liz swearing she will kill him herself if he dies LMAO, Dembe hugging her for comfort & Mr. Kaplan helping her get cleaned up 🥺🥺🥺, Liz playing records for Red yasss, AGNES & everyone taking turns babysitting her while she misses her Daddy desperately but deals with the situation with a maturity & grace beyond her years in an effort to help her grieving Mommy through it cool cool mkay mkay, Liz only breaking down once Agnes leaves OWWW, anddddd Liz being a blubbering mess when Red finally wakes up & calls her "Lizzie" & they kiss *whispers* it's fine, i'm fine 🙃 IN CONCLUSION, I love this anon, thank you for sharing this lovely little AU with me!! 🥰 And much, much love to you, of course, my friend!! ❤️

The Untamed, episode 42 - watching notes

I was up playing partygames over discord until 3 am yesterday, so I didn't get to watch another episode. I complained about it to my friends, which in turn made them complain that I sounded like I would rather watch my "gay chinese fantasy show" than spent time with them. I contemplated saying yes, but decided to keep my friend instead :D

And we were currently in the middle of a confrontation with Jiggy (as I've been informed he's called ... what? ^^) who apparently murdered his son to keep some secret, which with how this shows is going, I wouldn't be surprised is them going full game of thrones and ... you know what I'm talking about

Oh right, Su She is there

He's the Jin Zixun to my wei Wuxian. As in, I can never remember his name or why I should care 🤷‍♀️

(But thus time I DO remember who he is. That is, after lwj said his name ^^)

I'm so sure that jgy hit all evidence by now, btw

Okay, no. his wife is still there

Su She might be an asshole but his hair piece is gorgeous :D

What does it say about me that my first thought about that dagger was COOL!!! 😱😱😱

How dare you take Wen Qing's name in vain! 🤬

😱

I thought she'd stab him!!! Not herself :'(

I'm a bit surprised that with 5 cultivators in the room, no one does more to save her

Oh, JGY is a damn good actor!! I mean we knew that before, but now his apparent confusion and grieve for his wife seems even more (dare I quote lwj?) shameless

Lan Xichen, i know you love him but ...

Fun fact: In German, we call fake tears "Krokodilstränen". Literal translation: "crocodile tears"

That's what this is 😐

Especially about the nie Mingjue

Poor Nie Huaisang 💔💔💔

"Taking the head. Who in the world would have done such an insane act?" GEE, I WONDER ...

Sorry, I still find jgy fascinating, but this is so uncomfortable to watch, knowing at least part of what really happened 🙈

Lord, give me the power to murder people with one gaze like Lan Wangji 🙏

This whole conversation is so supremely uncomfortable

I'm still unsure if Jin Guangyao really doesn't suspect that "Mo Xuanyu" isn't who he says he is or if it's just a very convincing act 🤨

Favourite trope: Hanguang Jun, Yiling Laozou's knight in shining armour

First of all: Hot

Second of all: Lwj internally: DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING TOUCH HIM I ONLY JUST GOT HIM BACK AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN MADE OUT YET

probably

Also, for a split second there, you saw Jiang Cheng leap forward with a real look of concern on his face, like his first instinct was to help wwx himself 🥺🥺🥺

HE'S USING SUIBIAN AGAIN!!!

This feels so huge! 😱

I'm weirdly emo about a sword rn :')

His cover is blown of course

And him and Jin ling just had a good relationship :(

NHS, JL and JGY: How could it BE that this is Yiling Laozou???

Meanwhile Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng

"With the right kind of sacrifice, it can safe one who was seriously injured." Is this another instance of "we can't say this it's necromancy because censors, but y'all damn well know this is necromancy because no one falls down a cliff and then lies there "seriously injured" for goddam 16 years"?

I'm all teary eyed at lwj not even hesitating to flee with wwx :')

Jin Ling 💔🥺

Fuck you Jin Guangyao for playing at his pain!!!

Omg they're as good as holding hands!!! 😭😭😭

Of course, wax is pushing lwj away, OF COURSE. Self-sacrificing idiot!

That mask reveal was *chef's kiss* the drama! The gasps! The ... long-suffering "here we go again look" from lan Xichen :D

I LOVE IT WHEN LWJ SPEAKS UP!!

"You're wrong."

So simple. Yet saying so much: "I kniw him. I trust him. I chose this."

And OF COURSE Wei Wuxian gives him another way out

BUT THESE TWO FINALLY GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER AND COMMUNICATE THEIR THOUGHTS! FINALLY!

"Did you believe in me back then?" YES, I WAS JUST TOO AFRAID TO SAY IT,SO MY CONCERN CAME OUT AS ANGER 😭😭😭

And the single logged bridge again 😭😭😭 I adore that metaphor! And I love that they chose to show us the flashback. Because last time, wwx and lwj parted, took different roads so to speak, one the one of defiance, the other the one of orthodoxy. Neither wanted to part ways, but neither probably thought that they had much of a choice. But they did have a choice and they made it. And lwj has already expressed his regret over that. So here he is again, using his second chance without a thought.

Because lwj believes that wwx is right, MORALLY, so he will go against his clan, reputation be damned, and stand with the man he loves ... finally. He'll choose what they both believe to be right and walk with him "until it's dark" :')

And THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS SO MUCH!! It's not just that "oh they're so cute and they compliment each other so well, they must be soulmates uwu". Most of all they share a common morality!!!

I'm so goddamn amazed at this ship! This is not I was thought I was getting when I boarded it, but goddamn it I'm loving the ride! 😭😭😭

And .. just, the look in Lan Wangji's eyes ... they have 50 swords drawn on them, but guessing from the look on his face and the softness of his gaze they might as well be at their wedding 😭😭😭

He looks like a man entirely at peace with his decision :')

Just ...

Look

At

THEM!!!

They're holding hands in that last shot!!!! 😭😭😭

I'm absolutely floored at how utterly beautiful this scene is! "Romantic" seems too insignificant to describe it. It feels more like 42 episodes worth of love and pining and misunderstandings coming to their natural conclusion

My heart is so full right now guys :')

Very nice of these 50 people to wait for their moment to pass before attacking. Very considerate 😁

"Are we going to fight or not." "Too much talking" I WANT 50 EPISODES OF THESE TWO BICKERING!!! 😭😭😭

Jin Ling :'(

Noooo

No

Noooo

I don't know who my heart is bleeding for more here

Jin ling doesn't deserve to have to shoulder his parent's and uncle's pain :'((

All this supporting each other when injured? That's the good stuff

And those flashbacks ... wwx finally FINALLY realizes that lwj never hated him for his actions, he was afraid for him :')

Tbf,the guy has a sliiiight communication issue 😐

That quote about how lwj is at his side now that everyone else despices him!! That's it THAT'S THE SHIP!!😭😭😭

Oh, lwj took him back to cloud recess

I'm surprised he was allowed to, tbh

Ooh, so Mo Xuanyu knew something!

And... someone else must now know about him?

Also, I didn't realise that wwx still had a cut from the curse

I gotta take a moment to scream about HOW UTTERLY DOMESTIC AND AT EAS THESE TWO NOW ARE WITH EACH OTHER!!! 😭

XICHEN!!!

I should have known that the OG wangxian shipper would support them

But he still trusts Jin Guangyao. Not that I'm surprised

It's so weird to see anyone on this show in trousers btw 😅

"You're more than I can handle." Lol ^^

"You trust Master Wei, while I trust Jin Guangyao." Oh boy ...

I feel like this might be more of a confrontation than these two brothers had in their entire lives

Love me some detective-wwx

Poor Xichen 😔 he doesn't want to believe it

Somehow, wwx with a white underrobe makes me think "that's what he looks like when he and lwj accidentally swab robes" :D

Uuuh! The restricted section forbidden chamber!

So ... jin Guangyao somehow got this piece of music from the lan library?

But he's good! He's really good! He consistently uses others weaknesses and prays on them so that they act in a more extreme manner, but not so much that others would suspect foulplay. Case in point: nie Mingjue's death by anger and (more recently) the way he played towards Jin ling's feelings.

Aaaand another rather abrupt end in the middle of a conversation. That's one thing this show does not do well 😅

Anyway, I'm not complaining this episode send my shipper heart (BECAUSE I'M SO DWEP DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE AT THIS POINT) fly with joy!!

@sweetlittlevampire @fandom-glazed @elenirlachlagos @allhailthedramallama @luckymoony @kyrrahbird @i-love-him-on-purpose 🖤💙🖤💙

[creepy-bi-day]

Do you think the boyos (Slenderverse and some CP) would do well with an autistic S/O? It wouldn't be very obvious, but it'd be... Clear if you know them, and if they told you. Like, they can't read emotions/body language/the room, they often take jokes seriously, they hate being touched unless they know you, all that jazz. Not to mention special interests. Bo y, the boys would have their ears chatted o f f.

Ok, this one takes priority because like it hits close to home?? I’ll get to all y���all thirsty bitches in a sec.

I’m high functioning! So like, I get all those issues and shit. My special interests are creepypasta and history— I have vented to my therapist about them SO MANY times. So let’s do this—

Also, did you guys know that in the 18th century, Austria attacked itself?? It’s known as the Battle of Karansebes. I think I spelled that right. And there’s a russian history moment known as “attack of the living dead”! WWI was a crazy time. 10/10 reccomend looking that up. It’s super interesting-

I’ll dooo

Habit, Masky, and the Twink Squad With an Autistic S/O

Habit:

Doesn’t fully grasp the concept??

Like um

Okay??

He gets not liking people. Like fuck. Humans are dumb as shit

Like I’ve stated before, he’s overly protective, so you won’t have to worry about anyone touching you

If your special interest is something he can like??? Buy??? Expect it.

He’s going to spoil his mate anyway.

Might as well do it in a way that keeps her healthy and happy

Will try to cut back on harsh jokes around you after a slight incident

“Bitch, shut up before I make you.”

He was just teasing?? Cause you had made fun of something he did?? And suddenly you were crying??

That’s the only time you’ve seen Habit actually worried shitless

He thought you were hurt and was immediately holding your face and checking you over for injuries

Once he found out it was him he tried to brush it off by saying he didn’t mean it

He wouldn’t let you go for an hour.

He will gladly go back and forth with you listening about whatever it is you enjoy

Made it a habit (haha) to ask for one new thing every day

It makes his cold heart happy to know his little mate is keeping busy while he’s away

Masky:

Not sure how to respond when you tell him

“Oh.”

Cue mission impossible theme

He’s a bit of an asshole, so like, he’s going to have to watch what he says a lot at least until you can pick up on the change in his tone

Literally always around you inside the house because like

You can’t figure out if someone’s being aggressive or not

So obviously he’s gotta be there for you

Will try his best to not zone out when you’re going on about your special interests

Not that he doesn’t care but like, he’s just usually one for silence if that makes sense?

Don’t get me wrong, he’s never going to cut you off just don’t be surprised if his eyes glaze over after about ten minutes

Will get defensive if you call him out on it though

“I was listening, don’t put me in that type of light!”

“Tim, I asked you three times for your opinion on the death penalty.”

Overall? He tries???

Toby:

All the fidget toys

I hc him as in the spectrum too so like??

He’s happy that someone else gets it???

He prefers just fidgeting around with textures, like grabbing and messing with soft things and playing with them

But if you like those clicking little fidget cubes?

Fuckin bet.

He’s getting them for you. Along with the fidget spinners, and just random things he finds

You have a random light switch??

He says he found it laying around but you feel like he ripped it out of a wall for you—

Loves to hear you talk in general so like go to town on your interests

Like for real, he loves hearing you passionate about things. And when and if your interest changes? Cool! He’s down to learn more

He’ll go on about his too, whatever it may be at the time

Usually something his brother introduced him to tbh

“And then he just-he just turned himself into a-into a pickle!”

“Toby, please tell me you won’t keep making that joke.”

Chaos because he’s all over the place anyway, but now that he has you?? Someone who accepts him and gets it??

He’s not as shy about it anymore if that makes sense

Overall: best boi

Cody:

Ah.

This dumbass.

So, he’s not the best at listening

So like Tim, he’s going to be there emotionally but maybe not be able to keep up with your tangents

Like, he tries. He really does.

He knows a thing or two about how to keep himself focused when you pass the ten minute mark, though

He does deal with Toby

If your special interest is any form of science??

He’s going to help you learn more because it’s so fucking cute seeing you interested in his work??

Like his brother, he probably gets you all the fidget things you want. He didn’t get you a light switch or anything but he did take an old Gameboy and make it into a toy

As for the body language thing, he’s just overly conscious of every thing someone does?

Like reading body language is his shit

He’s probably going to try and teach you honestly

“What does it mean when someone stands like this?”

“You’re mad at me.”

“Wait, what?”

Not the best teacher

At all

But he tries

Overall? Good boi.
