Dorm Loaders react to you having a pop it but for fidget reasons

I KNOW IM CRINGE IM SORRY - but pops help calm me down - so i thought it'd be cute for a scenario too

This version is when you are dating the dorm leaders as well as the reader is gender neutral

Riddle

Riddle was aware of the trend, he gets why but he's slightly annoyed by it

he was meeting up with you for a study date , before he approached you , he noticed your pop it

funny enough it was a strawberry one

"hah...you're into this too?" Riddle asked in a firm but slightly annoyed tone

"yeah? why ?? " you were constantly popping the bubbles

"hm? are you ok?"

"oh yeah! don't worry riddle , this is just calming me down! or keeping me calm at least- It's a fidget toy after all "

He kinda just stood there in silence, he completely forgot that's what the main purpose was

but this really opened his eyes on how anxious or fidgety you can get

"Very well, just don't make too much noise with it . "

"Aw i thought you were like the strawberry one "

He blushed a bit but quickly composed himself "Im glad you were thinking of me but- wait how many of those do you have ?"

"...." you just smiled

" y/n how many do you have - "

"............i may have over 30 - "

"WHAT-"

Leona

He's not too fond of the trend but he doesn't care either

He goes to the spot you agreed to meet up at for him to nap on you

then he sees you with a pop it

ugh...am i even gonna nap..." he begrudgingly walks over

"hey leona!" *pop*

"Please tell me you're not gonna use that damn thing while i nap .."

You looked at him but looked down 'Sorry..I'm just a bit anxious today."

His ears went down , he didn't get it , why does it evolve the pop a thingy ma bop "what does that have to do wit this..?"

"That's the original use- a pop it helps with stress and anxiety but it can help you focus too! "

He stood silent which lowkey made you more anxious

then he spoke "fine, as long as it isn't too loud, i don't care " he lays on your lap and sets himself in place

"oh ok! I think number 25th is the quietest one i have "

"*yawn* yeah ok ..."

"......you have number f**king what now..?? "

Azul

He is aware of the pop it's and actually uses it to his advantage

He actually sells them as a small bonus for certain meals

It actually is quite popular and he makes more money from it

One day , he noticed you having on but it was more unique then what he sold

"oya oya , you seem to be in this trend like the other , little pearl "

"oh yeah , i already had one before you sold them "

He seemed interested , he actually never looked into the pop its much but really used it for profit

"If you don't mind , what is the purpose of these?"

"well why everyone else usually gets them is either because of it trending , it's satisfying or just to show off but my reason is completely different

As you spoke that , he noticed how figdety your hands were getting and you were constantly popping the bubbles

"..does it relax you ? "

"Yeah and it can distract me too, it really helps !" you looked giddy

he blushed a bit, your smile was the sweetest thing to him, in fact it makes his day

"w-well..if you want , i could get you more"

you perked up " oh sweet ! even though i have like over 30 "

"that's great little pearl I'll-....30!? "

Kalim

He has his own- you can't convince me otherwise and it annoys the hell out of jamil XD

You had like over 100 because he's extra of course , one for a different occasion

When you came over for a private date in the lounge, he took notice of your pop it , it was a ring looking one

"y/n...are you proposing to me!? " he was obviously joking but he did lowkey want to marry you

"pff very cute. i just have a lot on my mind. " you popped it a little faster

that kinda threw him off guard, he thought of it as a play thing , so he was a little confused, just a smidge

"It's a nice little fidget toy..." then it clicked for him , he didn't think it was a fidget toy- now he does

"Ah i see y/n ! I'm glad it keeps you calm "

You both continue your date and you both actually played with your pop its during then

THen kalim spoke " how many do you have ?" "ah...over 30 i think?"

"ah.." Kalim looked blankly

"..t-too much?.." you seemed worried

"To much ..? " he then suddenly beamed " you mean too little! Come on I'll get you some more!! "

"HUH-"

Vil

He knows too well of this trend, he even got offered to do commercials for pop its

He was actually really annoyed by it. plus the poping gets old to him

He one day noticed you with one ,but he's not surprised

Even if he's annoyed by it , he can understand the popularity and satisfaction of it

"Ah , sweet potato..You're into this trend ?"

"Well.. I was in it before it was a trend. It just helps my fidget"

Ah. He knew you were a fidgety and anxious person but it went over his mind of the pop it being more of a fidget then a toy

still won't change his mind of how annoying they are

"i don't care if you use it but please refrain from making too much noise with it "

"hmm..I'll try but i like the sounds. " you pouted a little

He covers his face with his hand and sighs "Fine. but only for a small bit because it honestly pains me to constantly hear popping. "

"calm down , this is one of the quiest ones i own!" you smiled

"...How many do you have?"

"....mayhaps over 30"

"....."

"...."

"sweetie. My little darling. my sweet potato. you have a problem"

Idia

Of course he's in the trend and has his own , fite me

Idia kept it more lowkey then others but he really enjoys pops it and even got ortho some

SO he was happy that you had some of your own too

" ehhh! y-you have 30 !? " Idia spoke after he questioned how many you had

"it's not that bad. They're all different at least. Look at this kitty one!"

He looked in awe of the kitty pop it and held it "They have ones like this?? I thought it was just normal shapes?? "

After explaining all different shapes and varieties , Idia got excited

It was a nice time too, you both looked online to see some that you didn't have , some were cute while some were interesting

But something caught Idia's eye. "eh? what's this "

It was a pop it game board, it was just two pop its connected to a rubber board on each side

"how do you play?" he questioned

"i'm guessing you use the dice to pop the bubbles , and everytime you pop it fully you get a point? " As you point to the area that has 3 bubbles to show points

Idia was silent. Then the mouse slowly went to "add to cart "

"you're getting that for the board game club, aren't you ? "

"yep :) "

Malleus

Probably has the purest / most confused reaction

He often keeps hearing of these ..."pop its"??

He sees others with them , coming in different shapes in sizes. he almost mistakes it as like a pet

The only person he would talk to more about it, is none other than his beloved

"Dearest. could you explain to me what are these things? they're quite confusing..." HE said as he examined one of yours

"Well...you know that feeling of being anxious or highly stressed? These things can distract or calm you down, try poping some of it and see!"

He did as he was told and oddly...he enjoyed it ??

malleus kept popping it for a few minutes without saying a word, like he was in a trance

"M-malleus ?? you ok ? "

"eh? ah. i'm sorry , i got distracted. "

you giggled because he was acting so cute, especially now possibly being invested

"I'll try and get you a dragon one !"

and you could of swore that a dragon tail suddenly and he wagged it

Part 7 of my Pros and Cons of dating the different islanders (yes I’m finally coming back to this :P) 

Gary

Cons

He doesn’t have a whole lot of thoughts about things that he’s not actively excited or annoyed by, and he doesn’t really feign interest. If MC buys a new top, or is invested in a new show, or anything that Gary doesn’t really care about, he’ll really disinterestedly say “that’s cool babe,” and make her feel like it’s unimportant. He’s not patronizing/embarrassing her on purpose, he just doesn’t have a lot of tact. You would have to really talk to him and work with him to get him out of this habit, because he doesn’t see how it’s hurtful or care that much to change.

He gets really defensive. If you call him out on his behavior or point out how he’s really stubborn, he’ll argue with you without really considering if his behavior is bad. Arguments with Gary suck because it gets to a point where he’s not hearing you and will just say “whatever” and refuse to engage. The best way to change Gary’s behavior is some pavlovian shit- you need to offer positive reinforcement without him really noticing. When he communicates really well, shower him with affection. When he picks up after himself, tell him how much you appreciate it. 

He’s very willing to walk away from things that challenge him instead of trying to grow as a person. We saw that with him and Lottie- whenever she or MC offered valid criticism of his behavior he would just walk away. That applies to most areas of his life- if he tries a new hobby and isn’t good at it immediately he’ll drop it. He doesn’t really like trying new things or going to new places, and if something challenges his worldview he’s more likely to ignore it than engage.

I’ve said this already but he buys MC heart shaped jewelry and pandora charm bracelets...

Gary’s a lad. While he doesn’t intend to hurt anyone’s feelings, he never really engaged with social justice issues and he hasn’t done the work needed to be anti-racist. He’ll laugh along to sexist, racist, homophobic, and ableist jokes without really thinking about the implication. He’s loath to call anyone out. If MC points out ‘hey that thing you/your friend said is hurtful,” he’ll get defensive and say “why are you ruining a good time? It was just a joke” If MC sits down and explains to him how the things he says are actively hurting her, he’ll internalize that and not do it. But he’s really hesitant to say the same to other people- he doesn’t want to ‘ruin the mood’ and get made fun of for being ‘PC’. 

Gary’s super dense. He doesn’t really pick up hints very well, so MC needs to explicitly tell him “I need you to compliment this dress” or “we haven’t gone on a proper date in awhile and I’m feeling undesired, can we go out for dinner tomorrow?” I firmly believe that the reason Gary tolerated all of Lottie’s passive aggressiveness was because he didn’t pick up on it, so MC needs to be direct. 

He doesn’t appreciate all the effort it takes to get all dolled up, even though he loves it when MC goes all out. I know he SAYS he doesn’t like high maintenance women, but in canon when given the choice between Hannah (seemingly low maintenance) and Marisol (very outgoing and done up), he chooses the higher-maintenance option. Every woman he dated on the show was a glam kind of girl- MC, Lottie, Marisol. So while he loves when MC has a full face and outfit done, he complains about how long it takes her and how she always sneaks away for touch ups during the night. He’s one of those dudes who is like “wow you’re so pretty without makeup” but you’re literally wearing foundation, contour, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush- he thinks the difference between makeup and not wearing any makeup is red lipstick. This is super annoying because MC puts a lot of effort into her look only for him to downplay that effort but still enjoy the results. 

Building off of the above, Gary severely underestimates how much effort it takes to do “domestic work” like cooking, cleaning, and administrating for the household (I imagine pre-MC he forgets to do the basics like renew licenses, register to vote, schedule appointments, etc). So if MC points out how she spent the whole day cleaning, he’ll be like “that seems a bit much? You just cleaned the kitchen?” and doesn’t really get it until MC breaks down “I swept and washed the floor, I disinfected the dishwasher, I ran cleaners through the sink link, I cleaned out and organized the fridge, I dusted and sanitized the chandelier, I organized the spice drawer,  I wiped out the cabinets…” He’s not really motivated to learn how to clean or do laundry or cook.

He doesn’t communicate. This is canon- he doesn’t tell Lottie where his head is at in the game, he strings Lottie and Hannah along, and he doesn’t reassure MC when other girls are clearly cracking on with him. So most of the problems in a relationship with Gary come from MC not knowing what he wants and him never initiating emotionally vulnerable conversations. 

He’s not going to do well if MC needs to travel a lot for work, and he’s not going to move to live with her. Even after his nan dies, I don’t see him leaving Chatham. So if moving to a new place is important to you, this is a dealbreaker.

Pros

If something goes really wrong, he’ll never do the same thing twice. This applies to physical mistakes as well as emotional- if he forgets to wear eye protection and gets sawdust in his eyes, he’ll be religious about wearing glasses from them on. If he forgets a birthday or anniversary and makes MC cry, he will be SO diligent from then on about remembering dates. On that thought, he HATES seeing MC cry. He will move heavens and earth to stop whatever’s upsetting her or fix it. 

Hugs and cuddling from Gary? So comforting. He just has that vibe, like he’s a really good cuddler. Not to mention that he’s really good at the nasty in canon, so it would stand to reason………

All of that internalized masculinity has an upside- he wants to take care of his family. He’s on top of all the ‘masculine’ caretaking stuff like buying a home, maintaining the landscaping, fixing the tires on the vehicles, shoveling, fixing stuff up around the house, managing the cable/internet/tech. Which is nice because I hate doing those things, but also I’m absolutely teaching him how to do laundry and pick up after himself. 

Gary is SO calm in emergency situations. I have this headcanon for Rahim too, but the more panicked those around them get, the calmer they are. Especially in situations where they’ve prepared/considered before like tornadoes or floods. They’re not the kind of guys who take the lead normally, but in these super dire situations they find it in them to take over and calm everyone else down. I can see him having a lowkey stockpile of food, an emergency first aid kit, and a go-bag. 

I know people don’t like this headcanon, but too bad. Gary is catholic. That’s the law. Sorry I don’t make the rules. That’s not so much of a pro for me, an atheist nihilist lesbian, but I can recognize a religious man has a certain amount of charm. He has a close knit community, is super consistent about attending services, and has a certain level of taking morals really seriously. He definitely donates a fair bit to charity and is always the one saying “love thy neighbor” when people are being shitty. 

Gary’s spontaneous, but in a controlled way. He very much likes his routine and respects MC’s need for consistency. But periodically he’ll just be like “we have nothing planned for today- want to go rent a paddleboat?” or he’ll pick up flowers “just because”. If MC and he are going on a vacation, he much prefers to only plan 1 or 2 things to do a day and then once they’re in the place see interesting things and suggest ‘let’s do that’. He’ll do really thoughtful stuff like text MC if she has anything planned for dinner then randomly bring her favorite restaurant food home. Thursday nights are date nights!! Doing formal ‘dress up nice and go to a proper dinner date without the kids and movie’ is really important to him.

Gary’s a really good dad. Like yeah he has a lot to learn about not telling his son to ‘stop crying’ and not telling his daughter ‘no boys until you’re married’, but he genuinely wants the best for them. He’s really supportive of their hobbies/sports/interests, and will happily pay for summer camp/field trips/conventions. He might not ‘get it’ all the time, but he’ll smile and nod. 

He gets a lot of delight out of really little things. If his kid draws something for him, he’ll pin it to the fridge and smile at it every time he sees it without fail. If MC says she likes a certain shirt on him, he’ll triple the amount of times he wears it. He keeps the bird feeders outside their dining room window full, because he can happily sit with a cup of coffee and watch the birds for hours. It truly is the little things.

He’s really good at remembering MC’s favorite things, or even things she mentioned liking once. This is to the point where it’s a bit confusing. MC will compliment Gary’s nan on her christmas poinsettias one year, then two years later Gary buys a ton of poinsettias and is like “I thought you loved poinsettias” and not be able to remember why he thought that. So MC has to be careful with fake compliments, because Gary cannot tell the difference. But that’s still, like, super endearing and nice of him. 

There’s a few LIs that I feel like could get bored in a long-term relationship. I can see Lucas, Felix, and Rahim feeling like they’re ‘falling out of love’ when the intensity of a new relationship fades and they struggle to settle into domesticity. Gary is NOT one of them. He’s one of those “I fall in love with you more every single day” kind of guys. As MC gains weight/ages, he’ll insist “you age like a fine wine” and “I like you more with meat on your bones”. He’ll insist to their kids that “your mom is the most beautiful woman on earth”. Gary was built for long-term relationships.

More and more Youtuber Au content

First of all, before I share the headcannons, the thoughts you left on my own au mean so much to me. That really made my day yesterday. Thank you so much and you are overwhelmingly nice I really appreciate it :)

Okay now onto headcannons:

- Race has a second channel called "Ant-Man" (because get it Antonio and Ant- yeah I don't remember where the post this is from went) where he makes random videos. Like random website games and stuff. No I don't know where this thought came from but it just makes sense.

- I know we already established how they got engaged but if they didn't already get engaged, they would most likely be that couple to get engaged with a ring pop or something stupid.

- fanart wall. That's all I had to say for this one.

- On social media (excluding YouTube and twitch), their profile pictures are either art by a fan, the two of them together, or each other - the times they put it as a each other it's very annoying because "why are you each other's profile picture I keep messing you up" and "why do you keep doing this"

- If they're playing Minecraft, Race just always forgets to eat. There's always people (Albert included) yelling at him in the chat to eat. That's all

Okay that's it for now I should get back to babysitting.

any day hon 🙏 theyre really well done !! and as someone who appreciates all the love you give my stuff i had to share some of it cause you 100% deserve it <3

aight ✨let’s get into the boys✨

- his second channel IS called ant-man (i’ve seen this post and i have it somewhere i swear i just can’t find the screenshot or i would add in in here for context. it’s just a conversation between race and wiesel about wiesel not being able to call race anthony cause his name is antonio, so wiesel asks if he can call him ant-man and race goes “,,,,,i’ll allow it”) and albert has a very lowkey one called ‘deadpool’ that he doesn’t post on but he DOES comment with and that’s usually the account he comments under youtube edits/compilations of them with and race mentions it during one of their ‘reacting to edits/fan videos of us’ videos and suddenly everyone’s tweeting albert’s comments at them. race’s side channel is just gaming/skit bloopers and nonsense

- oh albert purposed to race when they were 19 in a denny’s parking lot at 4am drunk as fuck slightly tipsy and jack has a video of it he’s saving to play at their wedding during his speech ✨ race cried an equal amount as the time albert was ACTUALLY asking but in his defense he had drank way too much for a lightweight on a tuesday in july

- *meme point* mmhmm, yeeeeep. it’s the far wall with no couch or table or anything against it in their gaming room. literally floor to ceiling, wall to wall fan art. stuff from their P.O. box, conventions, meet and greets, what have you, it’s ALL up there. they also have some up in other rooms of the house (the really really ornate ones on canvases and stuff) but almost all of it is up in the gaming room.

- oh fs ! albert’s twitter is a meme of race and race’s is a meme of albert, just to confuse people. race’s instagram is one of the two of them and albert’s is fanart someone made for him that he got permission to put up and he has them linked in his bio (even though he wasn’t asked to, he did it just because he wanted to) race’s tiktok is fanart of him (with the artist linked in his bio and like,,, half his comment sections) and albert’s is bibble from the barbie fairytopia movies (this sounds really out of pocket but i promise it’s like,,,, a think on tiktok) that’s all the socials i can think of rn but their youtube and twitch pfps are the official art they both commissioned for their channels originally (although that artist is linked everywhere too, cause it’s literally jack dhshdhd) fans yell at them constantly cause they change it constantly and they tag the wrong accounts fairly often

- this is the only one i slightly disagree with, actually. albert is the one that gets really invested in games and forgets to eat, race is always having to pause his and go make/order food and force al to eat or drink water. race doesn’t get as hyper focused on gaming as al does, he’s more likely to forget to eat if he’s editing for a stream. then al or chat has to yell at him to remember to be a people and eat. al is just generally dismissive of his human needs though, he’ll also just,,,,,, not sleep cause he wants to stream so race has to keep his boy alive some times.

this is from ✨hours ago✨ cause i’m a heathen and take forever to respond but i hope babysitting went well !!! or,,, at least no small children were harmed in the writing of this post. that’s the bar, apparently 😆

thank you for the ask, my dear !!! i really appreciate it :) <3

[elviriel]

Gilmore Girls and / or Arthdal Chronicles for the most recent fandom ask!!

Ahh, thank you for asking, Imma do both = D and under a cut as to not clog dashes

Gilmore Girls: (i’m excited to do this post-rewatch, my opinions are more complete xD tho I didn’t rewatch the revival yet) 

the first character i ever fell in love with: It was many moons ago, but I think it must have been Lorelai? 

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: None, I think? Or, oh. I guess I never really minded Liz, but in this rewatch I found myself almost constantly annoyed with her. 

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: None. 

my ultimate favorite character™: Lorelai. 

prettiest character: REVIVAL JESS MARIANO (you can blame my crush on Milo Ventimiglia for that) 

my most hated character: Finn and Colin from the Life and Death Brigade, with TJ a close second. I cannot stand them. 

my OTP: You know, I think before the rewatch, I would have said Rory x Jess, but I realized that truly, I like Jess more than I like the ship itself- the ship is just an excuse for me to see more of him. They still make me perk up though, but they don’t quite have OTP status. I also like Luke x Lorelai a lot, but again, I don’t feel suuuper strongly about them either? I guess they both count as OTPs for this verse tho xD And Emily x Richard. Ofc. 

my NOTP: Again, before the rewatch, I would have said Rory x Logan, but really they’re not that bad. So... nobody? Except maybe: The Life and Death Brigade x Screentime. 

favorite episode: I love They shoot Gilmores, don’t they? Aka the dance marathon episode 

saddest death: I started the revival and every mention of Richard has me ;_; 

favorite season: mmm, season two, I think? I happen to enjoy the Jess/Dean back and forth, it appeals to the confused teenage girl in me

least favorite season: I am hesitating, because season 6 has the storyline I hate the most (Luke has a daughter/ignores Lorelai in the process), but season 6 at least kept me invested, while I find most of season 7 super dull. I do love the finale tho. It gets me teary. So yeah, either season 6 or 7

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: I’m pretty sure Finn and Colin are generally well-liked xD but oh my god I cannot fucking stand them. I wish they would disappear, and I’m already dreading that super long Life and Death Brigade thing I remember from the revival. Please go away forever i hate you 

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Jess. (the piece of trash mostly applies to early Jess. He turns out fine in the end.) 

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: LANE. LISTEN. Lane x Zach are cute, but Idk, the pregnancy storyline and all that... I wanted Lane to get a better romance/arc tbh. 

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: I don’t think I have one of these in GG, but I admit to being intrigued by the thought of Jess x Lane (or even Jess x Paris.) 

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Lorelai x Christopher. Like, I know a lot of people hate them, but with the exception of season 7, generally every Christopher episode is entertaining, and I think they’re sweet. 

The Arthdal Chronicles. WEEEEE

the first character i ever fell in love with: Tagon. 

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: None.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: None!

my ultimate favorite character™: TANYA. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. 

prettiest character: This show has so many pretty people it’s hard to choose, but for me it’s a tie between Tagon and Tanya. 

my most hated character: Asa Ron. 

my OTP: Tagon x Taelha without the slightest hesitation. 

my NOTP: I don’t really have one. 

favorite episode: Gah, I admit I can’t remember what happens in which episode, so favorite scene instead: the one where Tanya does the spirit dance in her pretty white dress 

saddest death: Asa Hon ;_; 

favorite season: I don’t think there’s more than one season, so i don’t know?

least favorite season: same xD

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: I can’t think of one! 

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Tagon.

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Again, can’t think of anyone? Tanya goes through it a lot but i enjoy it, so xD 

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: I almost said Sarya x Tanya, but you know what, I enjoy them in a non-guilty pleasure way (I just think they’re neat) I do however see the appeal of Tagon x Tanya and I hate myself for it but they’re very compelling together 

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Tanya x Euseom. I’m pretty sure they’re endgame, and they’re cute and all, but I don’t care too much for the pairing. Still, if they end up together, like I think they will, I won’t be mad about it

[klydcs]

what’s up, fam ?! i’m lania and i’m here to bring my trash son klyde here. he’s loud and ready to annoy the sh** out of everyone ( even me ). also--i haven’t rped in a year so be gentle with me as i get back in the grove of things. send me a quick message if you want to plot or just talk about the good ol’ vine days and reminisce. i’m down for it all. now hit that read more if you want to find out about my boi and check out my plots. 

neels visser, cismale, he/him. → look out, there’s KLYDE CALLOWAY. you know, the 20 year old TREASURER of GAMMA PHI EPSILON. you know, i overheard someone say that they were HUBRISTIC, IMPETUOUS, INDEPENDENT and HONEST. but that’s just rumours. THE SOUND OF A SKATEBOARD A MILE AWAY, SKINNED KNEES, AND PAINT STAINED VANS, come to mind when i think of them. what about you?

‹ man of the HOUR › ( trigger warning; death, drug use, & violence?? )

two criminals decided to have a child. a con artist and a bank robber decided to bring a baby into the world together. he was destined to follow a path of bad decisions the minute he was born.

he was born in manhattan, ny but was raised in multiple different cities. his parents were constantly running so he was constantly going. up until he was seven years old, he rode along with his parents and their crew. klyde lived his younger years always waiting. waiting for his parents to get back from their “work”, waiting to get to be a child, waiting for a home, waiting for everything. his parents absolutely adored him but they didn’t love him as much as they loved money. their greed didn’t allow them the true opportunity to be parents. their greed also didn’t allow klyde the true opportunity to be a child.

another year passed and when klyde was eight years old his father was gunned down in front of a bank of america. gun shots pierced through the air and klyde remembers them being so loud. shivers ran down his spine and elicited confusion. he was sat outside across the street from the bank in their getaway vehicle. but he just sat there, with his eyes close and waited. his parents always told him to just wait and they’d be there. it wasn’t until hours later that the police found him. sobs were consuming his body and his eyes were still closed. that’s when the boy first learned how to grieve.

after the loss of his father, klyde forgot how to speak for a while. the trauma rendered him silent and he was mute for two years. he had a magician of a mother who loved to do the disappearing act. she had settled back with him in new york. however as he got older, his mother decided to go on her con runs alone. she left him in a lavish home built from the hard-earned money of strangers he would never meet. it was no surprise he grew up resenting her and her fleeting image. the two were never close and once his father died their separation was not reparable. klyde couldn’t help but grow to despise the parents that cared about money more than them. however, he was their son after all and the apple does not fall too far from the tree. and by the time he was sixteen, he realized just how valuable money was.    

klyde grew up to be the kind of man his parents would be proud of. he was far too honest for his withering heart. money left his palm with a careless vehemence. words seemed to exit his mouth before he could rethink them. the wide-eyed boy became the walking replica of his old man. greed etched its way into his heart before anyone could help him. he grew up with the notion that money meant everything. money raised him and cared for him when his parents couldn’t. he hated the way greed ruined his family but being obsessed with money was part of the calloway way. that boy’s dna didn’t allow him to be different and it got to the point where he didn’t even try. selfish indulgences became his latest love affair.

when he reached the age of eighteen, he went off to college without a word to his mother. he left a note telling her to wire him half a grand and left. of course she did it and continued to supply her son with money. 

just like his father, a plethora of vulgarities always make their way out of his mouth. even when he’s in the midst of a loved one. this man has no filter or care in the world but he isn’t horrible like his parents were. he’s not deceitful like his conartist parents taught him to be. he was b e t t e r. as best as a calloway could get ( which was not much ) 

‹ man of PERSONALITY › 

even though his environment changes–he doesn’t change. he’s selfish, arrogant, honest, loud, and tries his best to be as kind as his honesty lets him. he’s like that annoying younger brother no one wanted but loves. he’ll invite himself to anything you’re doing and make it seem totally natural. 

MY GUY is the absolute worst when it comes to being in a relationship. he’s bisexual and has been in not too many relationships. he’s not a fan bc once he feels he’s like starting to fall for a person he’s like “ZOINK--g2g and ruin it” because he doesn’t do commitment well. like he is lowkey scared of being committed to one person and them leaving him bc it’s been a pattern in his life. so, he ruins it before it can go anywhere. or sometimes he’s just bored and cheats. he’s very weak around people who look good. it’s pathEtic.

he’s chaotic and does a lot of dumb shit and is up so late in the night that at one point all of his ideas are stupid. then, add him smoking weed and/or drinking and he’s a mess.

ARTIST ALERT !! loves painting and drawing in general. it’s his ting. 

a skateboard is his main means of transportation and he carries a blow horn in his bookbag to scare the shit out of everyone when he needs them to move out of his way. he’s annoying x 2. 

thinks very highly of himself and it definitely shows. 

handles money and finances very well. he will talk your ears off about investing and making good investments and he does which is crazy. unlike his parents, he prefers to gain money in a legal way. his parents can’t relate

‹ man of PLOTS ›

familia; klyde has practically no family and issues with keeping people close. somehow this person managed to became practically his family. they are super close and have to deal with him and his obnoxious self on a daily. however, they handle it well and care for him for some reason. 

exes; they probably ended in flAMEs because he’s the worst. he probably cheated on them or did something horrible to them and they ended. maybe they are the one person he regrets hurting? or maybe he doesn’t care and acts like it’s no big deal and wants to still be friends with them? maybe this was the person he cheated with and they had no idea until he let it slip one day?? the world is our oyster so let’s play around with this idea muah

muse; just your typical muse plot. he’s building a portfolio and he needs someone to insPIRE him. he will randomly have them pose for him in specific places and dressed specific ways so he can paint them. he provides food and beverages and chats to them as he paints. he’ll send them random texts in the middle of the night to meet so be ready.

the homie; this is his ride-or-die. these two get into chaotic and random shit sometimes that will leave people shaking their heads. they always find themselves in a mess but would always bail the other out in a heartbeat. 

more to come when my creativity is at its peak....

we’re free | shawn mendes

university au, shawn x goth gf

oo another thing for @fourtristattoos spring fest! this is just pure fluff and soft shit. i dont write shit like this often. its short (1.4k) and (sickly) sweet and yeah. take it before i start to hate it lmao

masterlist | series playlist

Time really does fly when things improve in your life. I felt this when I had a continuous streak of high self esteem last year. I didn't realize how good it was, or the fact that it lasted for 3 months until the new year hit and I crashed. It was just another declining slope in my never ending depression battle. Meaning, I survived and I felt okay again after a while.

I caught myself in the middle of another high streak about… five months after I started dating Shawn. He was the one who made me realize it.

He summoned me to his apartment after midnight on an oddly chilly spring night. Luckily, I was awake in my dorm, frantically cramming for midterms. I wasn’t exactly thrilled to haul ass over there, because midterms, but Shawn was insisting that it was urgent. I shoved my books and notes into my backpack and somewhat reluctantly yeeted my ass over to his place.

“I swear, if I fail research methods again,” I said the second he let me into his place, “I’m holding you personally responsible.”

“I will take that responsibility,” he told me. “Thank you for coming.” He took my hand and led me to the living room.

His guitar was leaning against the couch, and there was a notebook and pen on the coffee table. This is what he’s been doing all night? Did this boy not have any midterm exams?

“Keeping busy?” I asked, dropping my backpack at the foot of the couch as I sat on the soft cushion.

“Very.” Shawn sat down next to me and grabbed his prized instrument. “I need your help writing a song.”

I blinked, trying not to seem annoyed or frustrated. I had four finals, and one of them was a repeat. “What kinda song?”

“A song about us.” He smiled.

Now I was confused. Shawn had written a song about he and I a couple of months back. He performed it for a grade with his singing class friend Julia, and it was a wonderful song, even though we had a minor argument after he showed it to me. It totally called me out on my bullshit, but it also proved to me how serious Shawn was about staying with me. It helped me get over my rational doubts and irrational fears.

“I thought we already had one,” I said.

“Yeah, that was from when you had your walls up,” Shawn explained. “Before you let me see all of you. I want this one to be different. It’s about where we are now.” He strummed a tune I hadn't heard before as he said all of that.

“So what do you need from me?”

“I need you to tell me how you feel about me.”

Over time, it’s gotten easier to express myself. I was getting used to allowing myself to acknowledge and feel my feelings. Turns out, feeling things helps you process things and eventually, let go of the bad things. Shawn had been very patient and far nicer than I deserved. He hasn’t left me hanging at all, nor has he made any sign of doing so. Plus, the fact that he was so open about his own thoughts and feelings helped too. It was almost odd having to admit that I was feeling safe and free with him.

But… while I was getting better, the habit was hard to break.

“I… talk of… emotions?” I mumbled.

“You’re cute when you have to say you love me.” Shawn affectionately stroked my cheek.

I talked about how much I love my boyfriend to anyone but my boyfriend. That’s not to say I don’t show him any affection at all. He liked to be held sometimes. I gave him the best anniversary gifts. I was planning to finally take him home with me to meet my family. I was the type to internalize my emotions, as if that’s a shock. Shawn was the type to randomly say “I love you,” tell me I was pretty, and show me off to his friends. He gave me random hugs whenever we’re together, and he liked having me as his big spoon. He was externally loving.

“You’re a lot taller than me,” I said in thought, “but you lay on my chest a lot.”

“Well, you’re small and cozy,” he replied with a laugh. He reached for his notebook and pen and made a note. “What else? Don’t be afraid to get deep. It’s just you and me.”

All the deep thoughts hit me at once. Thoughts I didn’t dare speak of because they were way too mushy or because I would cry. I still didn’t like to cry in front of Shawn, I just wasn’t that type. Even when we watched Deathly Hallows Part 2, I was practically made of stone. Whenever I had moments of being close to a meltdown, I always stood my ground. But talking out loud about how this guy has impacted me and my life? Oof.

“I lowkey thought, if we weren't going to be in a relationship,” I said sheepishly, “maybe we would have hooked up at one point.”

Shawn tilted his head. “Really?”

“Yeah. I mean, if I had decided to go home with you after our first date. Or, if I was still in that mental place of sleeping with guys who don't give a fuck about me.”

“Hey, if I give a fuck about you now, I would have given a fuck if we were only sleeping together. I think this was meant to be.”

Somehow, I believed him. I was going through a personal change just before he came into my life. I thought I wasn't ready for him when he came along, but he was just what I needed. He was one of the things that kept me afloat.

“You’re, uh, the kindest person I’ve ever been with,” I told him, shifting so I was sat cross legged. “I mean, every person I’ve been with before you started out kind…”

“But they were never how they appeared,” Shawn finished.

I nodded. “I thought that was all I had to expect from a relationship: one sidedness, passive aggression, doing certain things because you think you owe them.” I sighed. “And then you came along…”

Shawn stayed quiet as he scribbled on his book some more. Then, he looked at me again, a certain sparkle in his eyes.

My throat was starting to burn. I looked down at my hands. This was getting more intimate than I expected. I had barely said anything and I felt exposed.

“Okay, let me go now,” Shawn spoke up. “You see the world as it is, and you never bullshit about any of it. You refuse to change who you are for anyone. You’re incredibly honest, and it makes me feel… safe. I can talk to you about anything because I know you will tell me the truth. You're also…” He paused. “You're morbid, and dark and fixated on things like death and the afterlife… And it should be creepy, but when I look at you, everything seems better.”

Easy for you to say. You’ve never had to consciously hold back your feelings for someone.

“You… brought out a part of me that I thought was gone a long time ago,” I continued, my throat burning up. “I used to be like you, I used to be in love with love. My experience with failed relationships took that away from me. You…” I cleared my throat. “You don’t think I’m weird because I live and breath in the color black. For some reason, you like that I get too invested in video games and TV shows. You’re way too patient when my paranoia flares up or when I get sick to my stomach. You kind of made me believe again.” I sniffed.

“Honey…”

“Shush, I’m not done. I constantly feel like I’m dreaming when I’m with you.” I paused, internally cringing at how fucking true that statement was. “And I can’t find anything wrong with us, apart from the walls I had up when we met.” I coughed. “Is that enough material for you?”

Shawn chuckled. “It’s perfect.” He held out his hand. “You’re perfect.”

I took his hand, actual tears in my eyes. Holy fuck, I’m happy. I’m so happy. “I love you.”

“And I love that concept.” He wiggled his eyebrows.

“I’m never gonna live that down, am I?”

“No.” Shawn leaned in and kissed me sweetly. “But I love you too.”

[jvayis-blog]

hello squad fam, my name’s lia and i’m 18 and uhh , yeah! i’m excited to be here and i also don’t know what i’m doing at all ever so pls accept me :~) this is my girl jiayi who lowkey loves pet names pls, and she’s a total mess! she hates her life and she hates her dad and she hates herself so you could call her something of a… triple threat. HENNYWAYS please give her lots of plots and maybe force some love or more pain onto her

jiayi is the youngest of four children and was originally born in taipei, taiwan but later immigrated to south korea because her father was in extremely shady dealings and her mother thought the family would be safer if they left

once they move it turns out nothing would change, and her mother would end up raising the kids mainly by herself as their father was in and out of jail for drug use/dealing

whenever his dad was home he was aggressive towards his mother and would taunt/ridicule jiayi for the way she would behave/dress/speak claiming she wasn’t strong enough

their mother made her living by working three jobs and sometimes wouldn’t come home until wee hours in the morning which initially left jiayi very confused, feeling neglected, and with weird ideas of what love really was

she was good at what she did though so it paid the rent of their tiny apartment and put clothes on her childrens back and food in their stomach and that’s all she was trying to do. even back then jiayi knew that and so even with all the messiness that was their household, they were very close. her mom was probably even her best friend growing up

obviously, all of this was incredibly harmful to her development and confidence growing up and made jiayi hypersensitive of her every action and word. this resulted in jiayi not really talking a lot when she was younger and keeping entirely to herself. she didn’t do any sports and wasn’t apart of any clubs at all. just went straight from school and back home again until she finally grew old enough to work independently

once jiayi started working she started racking in some of her very own money which meant she could spend it whatever way she wanted. now, she’d always been artistically inclined, a characteristic that might have developed due to her lack of speech and friends. she loved to draw, paint, sing, rap, and had always wanted to get into music production. so when she had enough she bought herself the makings of a mini home studio and started messing around with making her own music

jiayi’s music was always a personal thing - never really meant for anybody else. but once one of her friends caught wind of her music things started to get a little crazy. encouraging her to try out to become an idol, jiayi went along with it for two reasons: she needed the money and she didn’t think she would get far and figured she had nothing to lose

from there, you can guess what basically happened. her life got flipped upside down and got farther than she could have even imagine, becoming a trainee and then debuting in a group.

jiayi is a lot more confident now, sometimes seemingly overly confident to those around her. even if on the inside she still feels like that insecure little girl she was growing up

also calls herself a local meme enthusiast & there’s a 99% chance she’ll quote some type of vine during a conversation

but deep down despite all her stupid memes.. .. or whatever… it’s mostly a kind of coping mechanism to her? like she just really HATES feeling vulnerable so she makes up for that by being super outgoing to distract herself from thinking too much about her family but always goes 100% just to make sure they stay afloat

but she’s a Good Girl she really is, esp hates seeing people struggle or be in pain and would do as much as she can to help/defend them, which is why she often puts herself second and sacrifices a lot in the process

kinda hard to take srsly, but she gets annoyed pretty quick too despite how easygoing she is, so you’ll def know when she means smth is impt to her

at the same time people might get easily annoyed at her bc she might come across as someone who doesn’t take stuff seriously but it’s just bc she doesn’t wanna get too emotionally invested and hurt

so if you think you’re gonna have a heart to heart with her … well, good luck charlie

BUT she’s a funny girl and works hard

trustable 4 sure, ur secret’s safe w her

would make a friend in general despite everything FOR REAL she’s good for cuddles n making ramen and making you laugh

anw LOVE MY BBY PLS!!!! thank u babes i look forward to interacting w u all cuties

Knocked Out

B.I/Hanbin Scenario

Request: #21 with B.I please :)

Prompt: An idol accidentally knocked me out with his mic while performing. Wow, so lucky, right?

It was your first time ever going to a concert. Your sister, who by the way, was the one who convinced you to go with her, was beyond excited and got both of you two VIP tickets, and she was pretty early when buying it too, which only meant that both of you were going to be on the front row.

You were just starting to get invested in iKON. Of course, because of your sister who was basically feeding you with videos of them almost every single day. Although you only had listened to their Return album and a few of their major hits, you could already name all the members, with maybe just a little struggle in telling the difference between Chanwoo and Yunhyeong.

You were most fond of the rapper line, Bobby and B.I. You were really into hiphop in the first place, so liking Bobby and B.I was just expected for you. But for some odd reason, you saw the B.I guy as a cocky person that seemed way too proud of himself, even though your sister kept telling you that the guy was nothing like what he seemed on stage.

The day of concert came with your sister, who was extremely excited, waking you up very early in the morning. She was ready with her lightstick, which apparently called Konbat, and all her ikonic attire. Since you didn’t own a Konbat, she lent you a good ol’ glowstick that had the color red. You tried to match the whole theme and wore a red sweater, pairing it with a pair of torn jeans. You were good to go.

Concert turned out to be a lot more fun than you expected, or at least this first one for you was. It turned out, iKON was really good at hyping out the crowd, making a great atmosphere to start the concert. Both you and your sister were having the time of your lives.  

It was finally the encore time, when all the personnels started interacting with fans, messing around, and even throwing out some merch.

Then it happened.

You were jumping with excitement, singing to the song, “My Type” when the leader of iKON walked closer to the area you were standing. All people around you went crazy, and you couldn’t lie to yourself, you were a bit smitten seeing him up close. The guy pointed his mic to the audience, grinning as he saw the people singing loudly to his creation. He was still sitting down, looking at the sight of his fans singing, when suddenly Donghyuk, who was chased by Bobby with a water bottle, accidentally fell on the back of the leader, making him fell forward. With his hand that was still pointed towards you, he knocked his mic straight onto your forehead, hardly. The rest was a blackout.

Apparently, high quality mic could do some pretty high damage as well, but to be fair, Donghyuk fell when he was running quite quickly, making a big impact towards the leader, and then onto your head.

As your body collapsed, all of the fans began screaming, not in excitement, but in horror. Your sister was definitely the one who panicked the most. All of blood in Hanbin’s face seemed like it was drained out, he was freaking out. He immediately ordered the staff to take you to the backstage to get some help, he assured your sister, who was half-crying, that you were gonna be okay. He then finally talked to his mic, with complete silence, since they stopped the music. He bowed down, saying that things like this would never happen again. Then told the whole group to do the same.

The concert ended with a weird atmosphere. Thankfully, the accident happened at the encore, or else, things could get pretty ugly. Your sister immediately rushed to catch the crews that were holding you and followed you.

The leader was terrified. He couldn’t even concentrate after what happened. While technically it wasn’t his fault, he still felt like he was responsible for it. What if something happened to that girl’s brain? What if she died because of that??? Hanbin was going crazy.

Fortunately, it was not a big problem. You were brought to one of the backstage rooms, but before they got you to the hospital, you had already gotten your conscious back. When you woke up, you saw a few people in the room. Your sister, two crews, Hanbin, Bobby, and Donghyuk. Wait, Hanbin, Bobby, and Donghyuk???

“W-What happened?! Why— what... Ugh...” You couldn’t form a sentence as the pain suddenly crawled into your head.

“D-Don’t move yet!” The leader said, his face was still looking so pale. “Just rest for a while, we will take you to the hospital later.”

You were still in shock the fact that three iKON members just stood in the same room with you, while you were in a bed. “Where am I? And why are you guys here?!” You called your sister, “Hey, am I dreaming?”

Your sister said in annoyed tone, although you could hear her voice was cracking because she was holding her laugh. “No! You passed out!” She said.

You looked at Hanbin’s face and suddenly you recalled what happened.

“Yah, idiots...” Hanbin glared at both Donghyuk and Bobby. “Apologize!”

Donghyuk was the first to speak. “We are terribly sorry, we were reckless and we promise to not disappoint our fans like that again... I hope everything’s alright.” He bowed down.

“Uh, I’m probably the reason why this happened...” Bobby smiled nervously. “I’m very sorry, I’ll be more careful next time...”

“What kind of half-ass apology was that?!” B.I said, annoyed.

“I-It’s okay...” You smiled politely. “I’m feeling better now actua— ehh??? No, you shouldn’t— Guys... help?“ You turned to Bobby and Donghyuk, but they just shrugged and smiled politely, as if there was nothing they could do.

Hanbin was bowing to you, all that ninety-degree, and here you thought he was cocky and all about himself. You were taken aback.

“As the leader I feel extremely responsible for this accident, we will be better in the future. Please forgive us.”

“Ha—“ You stopped as you thought for a proper way to address him. “Uh, please, it’s okay...” You ended up with the save route.

“The staff will later take you to the hospital for a checkup, just to be sure everything’s alright.” The leader said sternly. “Again, we are terribly sorry.”

“It’s okay, it was just an accident...” You said nervously.

The staffs later on came to pick you to go to the hospital. After done with the x-rays and checkups, it turned out that it was just a minor head trauma and there was nothing to be worried about. You were ready to go out and met your sister, when someone suddenly entered the room.

“I hope everything’s alright...” The leader spoke with an awkward smile on his face.

“The doctor said it’s just a minor head trauma, there’s nothing serious... Why are you here?” It was still unbelievable how you were actually talking with the leader of iKON so casually.

“I am responsible for my fans well being.”

“No, you don’t...”

“Well, in this case it’s true, I did this to you...” Hanbin chuckled nervously. “So uh... What’s your name?”

“Eh?”

He laughed. “Come on, you look way too nervous! It’s not like I’m Junhoe or something!”

You tilted your head in confusion.

“What I mean is that, I’m ugly!” He laughed.

“You what?”

“What?” He paused. “Wait, you don’t think I’m ugly?”

“Why would I???”

“Thanks...” He smiled while looking away, rubbing the back of his neck. “You still haven’t answered my question.”

“It’s Y/N...”

“Ah... got it. You can call me Hanbin if you want!” He proudly grinned.

“I’m sorry, but...”

“Yeah?”

“Am in a comatose or something? I still can’t believe I’m talking this normally with you...”

“Then I must be the same!” He laughed. “Talking to such a pretty girl...” He murmured.

“Huh?”

“Nothing!” He quickly dismissed your thoughts. “We should hangout sometime!”

“We should?! Why???” You were still in disbelief.

He chuckled. “You’re cute.”

“You don’t need to say stuff like that...” You blushed.  

“I mean it!” Hanbin convinced you. “Do you have Kakao? Or Line? But, we gotta be lowkey because you know, my job...” He chuckled.

It turned out that you were wrong after all. The leader was not as how you imagined him to be, in fact, he was the total opposite. All of the things you thought before you actually met him turned out to be wrong, except for one thing. He sure is dreamy...

I don’t know why but for some reason, writing about Hanbin gets me all awkward 😅

Hey, I had a random idea that could work as a prompt: AU meet-cute (because I'm a sucker for these) - Jake and Amy are seated next to each other on a flight and Amy is super uncomfortable/ close to freaking out (maybe because of her claustrophobia?) and Jake helps her calm down and they spend the rest of the flight talking? I dunno; random idea is random ^^;

I’MHYPERVENTILATIGN This prompt didn’t just… kill me it leapt off my screen andpunched me in the face!! In the best way possible ofcalso I’m lowkey in the mood for thisbc I’m travelling so much over thenext couple weeks!! I loooovvvveeeee it ok I won’t wastetime let’s just jump into it:

 It’s ataround 7:18pm, sat in the airport lounge waiting for her flight, that AmySantiago figures out that she is most likely receiving a death glare from thewoman sat opposite because she hasn’tstopped tapping her fingernails against her passport for the last ten minutes.

As soon as this realisation hits her she snaps out of it,immediately feeling the odd hollowness created by the absence of her nervoustick.

It’s nother fault. Flying is and always has been one of her worst fears- thoughnowadays, she’s mostly been able to subduethe anxiety for the sake of adult life, childhood nightmares of falling fromthe sky long behind her, sometimes it simply gets the better of her.

This, by all accounts, would be one of those times.

Her fingers itch to keep tapping. A light sheen of sweatglistens uncomfortably over her forehead. Her stomach churns, nausea pulsatingunder every centimetre of her skin at the thought what’s essentially a large tin can propelling itself throughthe air until she’s back home in New York.

Focused on the huge plane outside the window, she can’t help the feeling of completehelplessness that fills her.

“Will passengers for the American Airlines flight 481 to JFK pleasebegin boarding…”

A cool, calm female voice echoes through the atrium, andeveryone around Amy begins to move, standing up and organising their thingsbefore rushing over to the gate.

Perhaps she stands up too quickly, but a wave of dizzinessslams into her like she’s beenhit by a car.

Despite the collected, sweet voice that instructs her andeveryone around her, she can’t helpthe bitter irritation that brews within her at the thought of this flight. Whenit’s bad, it’s really bad;claustrophobia, social anxiety, the works. A complete tapestry of anxiety.

With a sigh, she picks up her bag and heads towards theboarding gate, waiting patiently in line with everyone else.

Inwardly, as she pats away the sweat on her forehead, sheprays she’s not sitting next to a totalasshole.

    ***

    As luck would have it, she is, in fact, sat next to a totalasshole.

“Hey, Angie?! Could I get,like, a whole bunch more of these nuts? I’m supersnacky.”

Sat up on his seat like a little kid, the man sat next toher, in the window seat, beams toothily at the flight attendant- who, to Amy’s disgust, giggles softly at him witha nod, before heading towards the back of the cabin. He’s tall, dressed in a leather jacket with a hoodieunderneath- like he can’tdecide whether he wants to be an adult or a teenager, she thinks. Annoyancestirs within her at the entire image of him, and only partially because she hasa select and precise loathing for men who speak to female employees as if they’re friends.

Since he’sarrived, squeezing past her into his seat, he’sfiddled loudly with his little TV screen, chatted to the cabin crew like they’re his college buds, and hummed theentirety of what she’sfairly certain was a Coldplay song. She’s neverseen someone so unapologetically cheerful and friendly.

He must catch the side-eye she’sgiving him, because after he’s sathimself back down, his attention keeps coming back to her, looking at heroddly, a combination of interest and confusion in his expression.

She tries to ignore it, the way he’s unabashedly observing her in public, watching her gothrough each of her electronic devices and turn them off. His gaze burns intoher, completely unashamed, until she actually finds herself becomingfrustrated. He must be used to this, being able to look at and speak to whoeverhe wants- he’s pretty good-looking, andclearly a confident guy. Somehow, this only makes her want to scold him more.

“Can I help you?” She asks him sweetly.

“Y’know, you don’t actually need to do that,” he says matter-of-factly, noddingdown at her lap, in which sits her laptop, her phone, and her iPod, all now shutoff or on airplane mode.

“What? Yes, you do,” she says, “otherwise why would they ask you to?”

“Because it’s not actually dangerous, it justmakes an annoying noise over the radar when they’retrying to fly.”

“Well, then,” she says, smiling coolly, “I guess I just have a shred of commoncourtesy.”

He doesn’t replyto this, instead raising his eyebrows indignantly and sitting back in his seat.She glances over at him, just once, to see if he’sreacted- but all that remains on his face is a slight expression of amusement.It’s just on the brink of irritating, asthough her speaking back to him is funny somehow.

Quietly, she opens her bag in her lap, and begins to dig forher Ambien and a bottle of water. Her fingers find the bottle, pulling it outof the bag- but, to her horror, the pills are nowhere in sight.

“No, c’mon…” shemutters to herself as she begins to dig through her bag more urgently.

Annoyance and another dollop of anxiety smacks her gutharshly as she realises she’s aboutto sit here, for six hours, next to this dude,without anything to calm her down. She could always soothe the nerves with somewine, but right now she’drather do anything than bring that flight attendant back to her.

A soft dingsignifies the seatbelt sign coming on for the first time- Amy’s stomach twinges with nerves, eventhough this fits the order of things, the bustle and hubbub of people settlinginto their seats having died down. The little screen in front of her lights upand begins to play a safety video, and several flight attendants file into theaisles to begin their demonstration.

“I’m Jake,” theman next to her says quietly as she watches the hostess in front of them.

She smiles politely at him then looks back towards thehostess. It’s not that he seems genuinelyawful, or anything- even if he has been mildly irritating in the half an houror so they’ve spent together- but shejust could not be in less of a mindset to make a friend; even chatting feels alittle too much of an effort to push her head into right now. Judging by theway he was talking to that attendant, there’s alsothe chance that he’s about to start flirtingwith her, which she really can’t deal with right now. So, as far asshe’s concerned, the best option issilence.

“Okay, I’m sorry for picking on you when youput all of your electronics into airplane mode. I have a reflex where I can’t help but pick on dorky littlethings like that.”

“Are you sure that was anapology?” She narrows her eyes andturns to him. He looks at her candidly, like he’sgenuinely undecided. It’s atthis exact moment that she realises he’sharmless, going from one goofy expression to the next like a teenager.

“I guess I’m a little out of practice,” he admits, a small chuckle risingfrom his throat.

“Right.”

Though she’slooking forward at the air hostess, she allows herself a small smile now, as itbecomes clearer and clearer that, immature as he could be, his main issue as aperson seems to be being overfriendly.

“I’m Amy,” sheoffers.

“Amy,” he repeats, smiling. “Nice tomeet you.” He offers his hand, whichshe shakes firmly. “Good shake,” he comments.

“I’m well-practiced,” shesays proudly. Momentarily, she spots confusion dart over his face, but sheignores it- she doesn’t owehim the wild stories of her handshake seminars, not yet.

“So what’s bringing you to New York?” He asks quietly, after a moment.

“Sorry, I just-” she cuts in over him awkwardly, “I want to listen to this,” she says, looking between him andthe safety demonstration.

“Right,” he says, and she turns back to watch. Only a couple ofseconds pass before he’stalking again. “I can only assume this isyour first ever flight, because there’sliterally no other reason to be that invested in an airline’s safety guidelines.”

She rolls her eyes.

“Don’t take this the wrong way,” shereplies, “but do you ever stop talking?”

“I guess not,” he says, throwing a peanut in theair and catching it in his mouth. “Nut?”

“I’m good.”

“Your loss.” He throws another in the air.

“Oh! You’re not wearing your seatbelt,” she realises out loud, the concernin her tone immediately making her a little self-conscious.

“Oh, right,” he mutters, clicking it into place. “Forgot.”

Forgot? Shewatches him fiddle with it, then go into his hand luggage, pulling out a bottleof Gatorade, from which he takes a hefty swig. She can’t help but feel a little sick at this- it’s 8:30 in the morning, and thethought of any beverage other than coffee is too much for her.

He’sunlike anyone she’s ever met before- adecent-looking man, likely around her age, with the habits and chatter of afive-year-old.

Distracted by him, she almost jumps when the plane’s engines begin to rumble, graspingfirmly onto the arm rests of her seat as they do.

“Woah,” Jake murmurs, and Amy’s notsure whether it’s a genuine reaction or beingsaid in a bid to reassure her somehow. Either way, she doesn’t care. “Y’okay?”

“Yeah, just took me bysurprise a little,” she admits.

“Sir,” that flight hostess’s voicereturns again, directed towards Jake, “if Icould request that you close your tray table.”

“Sure, smort,” he replies hastily, smiling up ather.

“Smort? Very smooth,” Amyjibes as soon as the hostess is out of earshot. He narrows his eyes. “Y’knowshe’s essentially paid to flirt with you, right?”

“For the record, I find itvery hurtful and presumptuous that you’reassuming I’m trying to flirt with her.”

“Please, it’s all you’ve done since you stepped onto this plane.”

“How d’you know that?”

“I don’t, obviously, I just mean… y’know, you’re-” Shestammers, irritated by the small smile this evokes from him.

The plane jumps as something kickstarts in the engine, and,startled, Amy’s grip on the arm reststightens- she looks out of the window, and notices that they’re at the start of the runway. Atonce, both fear and gratitude seeps into her system- fear, in response to thefact that she’s about to be launched 35,000feet into the air, and gratitude in response to the fact that, by some miracle,Jake has kept her distracted from it all for the last ten minutes or so.

“Cabin crew, please take yourseats for takeoff…” A low voice comes throughthe ceiling, raspy as though playing through a radio. Panic strikes into Amy’s chest.

“Talk to me,” she hears herself saying to Jake,before she’s even thought about it. “Please.”

She’sexpecting a joke, a look of confusion, or at least a smartass reply back- butinstead, his nonchalant expression changes immediately into one of concern.

“Sure, sure,” he starts, “Uh. You never said why you’regoing to New York.”

“I’m going home,” shesays quickly, as the plane starts to move. “I livein Brooklyn.”

“Nice,” he replies, “I livein Williamsburg.”

“Hipster-ville,” she says, without hesitation. To hersurprise, he laughs.

“I was about to argue back,but someone opened a cronut store opposite my apartment the other week.”

“A cronut store? As in, just cronuts?”

“Yeah. They’re not even that great. And I’d know- I once ate nothing but pastryfor three days”

There’s apause, and Amy’s eyes find the window, wherethe plane is now picking up speed along the runway. Jake must notice this too,because he tries to pick up conversation again rather hurriedly-

“Roommates?”

“What?”

“D’you have ‘em?” He smiles, in what must be at leastpartial disbelief, at the sudden, high-paced conversation they’re having.

“Yeah, three!”

“Three?!”

“Yeah,” she laughs nervously, “I’m kind of low on cash. I’m training at the Academy right now-I want to be a cop, so I’mcommuting, and training, and working, and… what?” She stops at the only slightly gorgeous grin he’s giving her right now.

“You’re at the Academy?”

“Yeah,” she says slowly.

“No way. I’m a cop! I finished my training acouple years back.”

“Are you kidding?” She asks seriously, completelyunable to picture this man-child in uniform.

He starts to answer, but the plane leaves the ground, andshe can’t help the small gasp thatescapes her.

“It’s okay, don’tworry.” His voice is calm, natural,quiet- just for her. By some miracle, it works, even if only by a little, herbody settling into an out-of-place calmness. “We’re good.”

“Keep talking,” she pleads, only slightlyembarrassed now by her evident vulnerability with this man, a total stranger. Nevertheless,she smiles over at him, thankful for his reassurance.

“Oh, right- so, yeah, I’m working at the 90.”

“Beat cop?”

“Yeah. Hopefully a detectivein a few years.”

“That’s exciting,” shesays, but she’s got her eyes closed, tryingto quell the dizziness caused by the rapid ascent of the plane. He chucklessoftly- she presumes at her attempt to hold a conversation with her eyesclosed- and though normally she’d feela little put out by this, she can’t helpbut laugh along with him.

Of all the things she thought she’d be doing on her flight, feeling her lungs fill withlaughter as she took off was not on the list.

The plane lifts, and lifts, and lifts- and then it doesn’t, gliding through the cloudsseamlessly.

A small dingalerts her to the seatbelt sign, which has just turned off.

“So, you’re not big on flying, huh.”

The remark comes a little while after they’re in the air. She’s breathing slowly- the conversationwith Jake died down a few minutes ago, after the plane became more stable inthe air.

She glances over at him, feeling sarcasm brim in her throat-but his expression is soft, of genuine concern.

“No,” she half-laughs. “I’m not.”

“It’s no big deal.”

“It’s just so…annoying. I know, logically, that I’m fine,but it just creeps up on me, I guess.”

“It happens. Sometimes youjust need a distraction.”

He looks over at her, smiling.

“Right,” she says, meeting his gaze.

A pause lingers between them for just a moment.

“So,” he begins, eventually, cutting the tension. “How’s theAcademy?”

“Intense,” she offers quickly, “but I like it.”

“Some of those old drillsstill haunt me,” he shudders. She laughs,relaxing a little. “What do you want to do?”

“Ideally? Captain of my ownprecinct.”

“Woah.”

“Yeah,” she replies proudly, smiling lowly.

“For the record, youdefinitely seem like a Captain.”

“Really?”

“Oh, absolutely.”

“You’ve known me for like, half an hour.”

He smiles, but just as his lips part and he begins to speak again,the plane jolts harshly, the first knock of turbulence.

Amy’s handsshoot straight back to the armrests on either side of her chair, one firmlygrabbing Jake’s arm. She lets go quickly,looking over at him apologetically. He looks as though he’s about to start talking again,reassure her- but he gives up, and only smiles.

Nerves spill into her system like electricity.

This time, it’s notthe plane.

  ***

   “Such a good movie,” Jake murmurs as Die Hard’scredits begin to roll in front of them.

His voice is almost too close- after a couple hours ofconversation, spanning from everything from her seven brothers to his absentpilot father to the best cop movies of all time, they’d decided to watch DieHard, Jake’s favourite and bid for thenumber one spot. However, this had meant picking whose screen to use. She’d suggested hers for two reasons: sothat she’d not have to lean againsthim, and so that she’d nothave to lean any closer to the window, and risk seeing that stomach-churningheight outside. So now, as he speaks, he’spractically in her ear.

“Are you… crying?”

“No, duh,” he replies, sitting back, buthis voice has cracked slightly, exposing him. She can’t help but chuckle. “It’s a deeply personal film to me.”

“I can see that,” she says, unable to keep her smileoff her face.

“Hey, you don’t get to tease me about gettingemotional.”

“What? Why?”

“Earlier? When I mentioned theorange soda thing? You freaked out.”

“Putting it in your cereal isobjectively disgusting!”

“Oh god, I shouldn’t have brought this up again.”

“You should not be as fit as you are.”

“I’m fit?” Hegrins.

“Not… I didn’t mean…”

“Kidding.”

She nudges his shoulder and sits back in her seat. Heatrises in her cheeks- she can feel him looking at her even though she’s turned away, and suddenly she’s wishing she’d worn literally anymakeup, or perhaps something more form-flattering than a giant sweater and apair of leggings.

“How’re you feeling?” Heasks after a moment.

“Better,” she says slowly, and she means it-she’s tired, certainly, from the stressof the morning, but otherwise, she’sfeeling pretty good. Plus, she’s madea friend. “How long left?”

“Uh…” He flicks on his screen. “Woah.An hour and a half.”

“Seriously?!” She looks over in amazement. “That’sincredible. Thank you.”

“Thank you?”

“For keeping me distracted.”

“Oh, right. Don’t worry about it. For the record, it’s been pretty enjoyable.”

She smiles gently. He’s notbad. Not at all.

“Excuse me,” an older voice comes from the seatin front of them. An elderly woman, easily in her seventies or eighties, hasher head poking through the gap between her seat and the one next to her. “Excuse me.”

“Hi,” Amy says slowly, in some disbelief, sharing a brief lookof confusion with Jake. “Can wehelp?”

“It’s just, I’ve beenlistening to the two of you, for the last couple hours,” she admits easily, prompting another shared look betweenJake and Amy. “And I was wondering if Icould ask you something.”

There’s abrief pause as they wait for her to ask- at which point it becomes clear thatshe’s genuinely asking for permission.

“Go ahead,” Jake says, after a second.

“When in the hell are yougoing to ask her out?”

  ***

  As the plane plummets to the ground, swooping so fast Amy’s ears pop, her hand is claspedfirmly over the warm arm of one Jake Peralta, a man she has known for sixhours.

Her eyes are closed, and every thought in her head centres onthe feeling of where she holds him. For the first time in her life, she’s finding her flight’s landing remarkably tolerable.

Eventually, a bump tells her they’re on the ground- then, gradually, bit by bit, they slowdown.

With a deep breath, she begins to completely calm down,opening her eyes and turning to the kind, friendly, attractive man sat next toher- for a moment, she wonders how, today, she got so lucky.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to New York. The current local time is5:30pm…”

“Okay, so I guess this is it.”

“I guess so,” she agrees.

They watch each other quietly for a second- then,simultaneously, break out into huge grins, mirroring each other giddily.

“So…”

“See you at eight?”

“Sounds good.”

[panda-noosh]

First of all, I hope you are well, because health and rest are important please take care is2g. Second, thank you! May you please write h/c for the paladins again where their S/O sleeps/naps hugging a pillow?? I recently got mocked for it once 🙃 thank you again, hon

Iam very well, thank you! Summers treating me well, even though ithasn't stopped raining in Ireland these past two months.

   Isleep hugging the quilt and nobody knows why, so I can relate. I hopethis is what you wanted! Enjoy!

   Shiro:

 -Hewould notice immediately. Almost as soon as you two started sharing abed, he would notice.

 -He would mainly notice because you had a habit of leaning over andclutching onto what little of his pillow you could grab.

- At first, he would be so confused. Laying with a pillow against yourstomach and then trying to grab onto the corners of an alreadyoccupied pillow didn't look particularly comfortable.

 -But he would never really talk about it. It wasn't thatbigof a deal to him – not until you woke yourself up one night and sawwhat you were doing and were too embarrassed to go back to sleep.

 - He would tell you how cute he thought it was, and that it was a goodalternative for cuddling, since Shiro doesn't really like cuddlingthat much.

 -You would insist that it was 'weird' and that it must be so annoyingto have you grabbing at his pillow all night. He would chuckle atyou, tell you to simmer down and go on to describe how he had beendealing with it since the moment you two started sharing a bed.

  -You would try to stop it – putting distance between the two of youwhenever you were beginning to fall asleep, trapping your handsbetween your knees to try to keep them at bay – but nothing worked.Shiro didn't want anything to work.

 -The bitch would probably sabotage your plans, anyway. He'd take yourhands away from your knees, roll you over just so your hands wouldfind their way to his pillow.

 - You hugging his pillow would just be what you did, and he would loveit.

   Keith:

 -He'dact like he hated it.

 -Putting a pillow between the two of you just so you could hug it atnight took up a lot of space – space that his tiny bed didn't haveto spare.

  -Plus, our boy lovescuddlingat night, so the pillow was an issue at first.

 -“Why a pillow, though? You have me.”

  -He'd spend half the night kicking you away because the pillow waspressing into his arm.

  -UNTIL ONE NIGHT, THE BOY HAD AN EPIPHANY!

 -He wrapped his arms around the pillow and just started huggingyou.

  -Since his cuddling issue was no longer an existing issue, he had thechance to admire what you were actually like when you fell asleep.Face smooshed up against the pillow case, probably dribbling, hairstuck out left, right and centre.

 -He would just fall in love that little bit more.

 -Even though the problem was solved, he would still insist on actinglike he hated it. You would know he was only acting, but he wouldn'tlet the act down.

  -Every now and then, you would be like, “I know you love me and mypillow,” and he'd roll his eyes. He'd think you had turned away sohe'd smile to himself shyly, but you'd see it and it would be thecutest thing in the world.

   Lance:

 -BOIPROBABLY HUGS A PILLOW TOO.

 -But I can imagine he didn't originally. Like, he saw you hugging thepillow and then he just thought it was cute so he started doing it,realised it was comfortable as all hell and it just became a habit.

 -The other Paladins would tease you two.

 -“Look at that! Y/N really does influence him.”

 -“I wouldn't say in a good way. They look so warm.”

  -Lance wouldn't care. In his head, it's them who are missing out, nothim.

  -Probably buys two extra pillows just to hug them.

  -You tell him that hugging a pillow when falling asleep isn't a bigdeal, that he shouldn't waste money on such an activity, but Lanceacts like doing such a thing is a religion.

 -“Join the club of Pillow Cuddlers.”

  -Why is he so passionate about everything, I love him so much.

  Hunk:

 -CuriousHunk.

 -He would see you hugging a pillow and would have to do a double takefor some reason.

 -Would probably be so confused. Like, that's the reason you don'tcuddle him at night???

 -He'd spend weeksjustlowkey looking at you asleep with the pillow, looking for any reasonthat the pillow is better than him in the hugging aspect. He wouldn'tbe offended, just genuinely curious.

 -He would ask you about it at some point and you would tell him thatit's just a habit that you don't even know you're doing; that wouldconfuse him even more.

  -He isn't a light sleeper himself, but if he ends up moving andcompletely swiping the pillow out from underneath his head, he'sgonna notice.

  -“You should cuddle with me tonight. I'm better than the pillow.”

 -You two would end up falling asleep in each others arms, but in themiddle of the night you'd probably end up moving back to the pillow.

  -Hunk would be shook. You actually don't notice. Wow.

 -He'd just find it so interesting.

   Pidge:

 - Ifeel like one of the other Paladins would have to point it out toher.

 - And when they do, she's more confused at the fact that you don'tnotice you're doing it than anything else. She's also confused whyeverybody else caresso much.

 -Butthe more the other Paladin's talk about it, the more invested in thepsychology behind it that she gets.

 -Starts researching reasons why you would do such a thing. At onepoint, she comes across an article saying that people who hug pillowswhen falling to sleep do such a thing because they feel lonely.

  -This works her up.

  -She's just suddenly showering you in kisses all day, making sure youknow how much she loves you.

 -When you ask her about it, she tells you about the article and you'rejust like “??? It's just comfortable???”

 -She wouldn't believe you at first, because she's Pidge. She'dprobably try and wein you off of hugging the pillow – taking it outof your grip when you fall asleep, replacing it with a teddy bear orsomething.

  -But you'd always notice. You'd end up having to tell her that youdon't sleep well without it and she would feel bad.

  -You hugging a pillow just kind of became like a quirk that you had –one of many Pidge picks up on, since she's cute – and she just kindof learns to love it.

okay it’s time to write my finale Opinions™, i think it’ll be long and full of Unpopularity™ but i need to say it

i’ll say that overall it was a nice episode, nicely paced, with a lot good scenes:

what i LOVED

clary, she was awesome! the entire middle part, with jace’s death, her versus valentine then bringing jace back, has to be the most well done part of the episode! all the kudos to kat, she kicked ass and truly gave an heartbreaking performance

MY SUPER ULTRA MEGA FAVORITE PART IS, OF COURSE, ALEC’S REACTION TO JACE’S DEATH THOUGH. MAN, THE FEELS. my expectations were on the ground even though i knew it would happen, so the fact that they put FLASHBACKS in, higlighting all alec’s best most precious memories of jace, truly surprised me in the best way!!! that they would give it so much care and focus even if only for a short while??? i legit teared up. and the reaction was exactly like i had imagined it to be, the initial sudden pain, falling on the ground, not being able to breathe, then when he realizes jace’s dead he says it with his face so void of all emotions cause he’s EMPTY inside, a part of him just died (seriously, i published this last week, even though it’s in a divergence where jalec got together after kissing at the seelie court, but it really amazes me of how many things i got right). and then when he reaches him and he’s alive, he’s looking at him like he can’t believe he’s real and is itching to get close to him but he’s so CONFUSED at wtf just happened, then they both gravitate towards each other, and while the hug was short and one armed, their faces?? alec still has his eyes so wide open like he’s still under shock, while jace closes his eyes and buries his face in him. LKDLSFDKJLL, MY HEART

what i LIKED

the demon hunting was also good at the start of the episode, the sneak peek scene is still very cool, that foursome should work together more often

the clizzy talk at the end was so sweet, and it’s just so hilarious that they ‘’sistered’’ them too, i guess i can’t have one ship that isn’t zoned like this, but #who cares, i love them, they look so good and they’d be perfect together

the luke clary hug at the end was so sweet, they’re so preciuos and important

have i said how much i enjoy sarah as the seelie queen? i prefer her more to the kid, cause while she was good, i still can’t picture the queen like that okay? sarah was creepy in the perfect way, the right look, and she really sold the part, i could see the queen and not the actress, so yeah i approve. also the seelie court set is very pretty and earie

what i’m meh about

so, i don’t ship cl@ce, their relationship does have at least a proper role in the show and their scenes were well done/sweet, the emotional part was good etc. it’s just that...i both want them with other people...and i can’t help resent the relationship a little cause it takes away from my otps...:/

i enjoyed simon and maia dynamic when it started in 2x06, and i thought i’d enjoy them both platonic anf romantic, but as i found out i can’t watch them be in a relationship, especially done so QUICKLY after climon while it’s very CLEAR that simon is not really really over clary, it’s been what? a WEEK? this show has HUGE problems with continuity and portraying a realistic (or at least that makes SENSE) development of things, so no i can’t buy it. i adore maia as usual tho and i like that she’ll be a regular next season. and i guess simon is now trapped with the queen as payment for getting maia out? yikes

i don’t dislike luke, he’s a nice character, but i can’t help but not be invested in his storylines, they could do much more with him. and the whole ollie thing? HOW WAS IT NECESSARY? it took away from a more clear and coherent development of MAIN things, so while i don’t dislike the character i can’t not roll my eyes at it.

NOW FOR THE DOOM AND DESTRUCTION, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT I SAY YOU CAN TURN THE OTHER WAY

okay first for the THEY COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER part: while i loved all the parabatai parts, they still have GREAT DIFFICUTLY in keeping a consistency, you can’t have alec be distraught in one scene and casual in the next one and then wide-eyed again in the next, it’s just, CONSISTENCY, if half of his soul just died he should be FRANTICALLY looking for him like in 2x01-02 not casually strolling...and i have a pretty clear idea why they did it, cause that bond can’t take precedence over the Ships, cl@ce and m#lec in this case, so there are good emotional SHORT moments, and apathy in the middle. this was so obvious in 2x19, they focused for 5 SECONDS on alec after jace was hurt, didn’t even show him react, so yeah they need to upp their game and bring more continuity and FOCUS for this bond. a SOULBOND FFS?? WHAT OTHER SHOW HAS IT?? THEY’RE PURPOSEFULLY WASTING IT

GAH GAH GAH GAH GAH. whoever knows me know that i have 999999 problems with m#lec, and this episode is only another nail in the coffin. listen, problems with their portrayal started lowkey in s1 around 1x09 for me, but throughout s2 they started growing and growing and GROWING, and now i’d need another complete essay to list them all, but let’s just focus on this episode. so we’re supposed to buy this ‘’perfect’’ reunion, all is well! it’s all in the past!!!! don’t need to apologize!!! while A. alec has had to apologize 1049 times while m#gnus was downright CRUEL about his ‘’mistake’’, he sided with a queen he knew was shady all for the ‘’good and protection of his people’’ while in this episode he was sitting around and almost didn’t go and try to save the world?? where his people live?? or even his friends??? he also didn’t warn alec about the shield so that he could’ve just casually DIED because of it...and all along he was shown to be very petty and immature towards alec and everyone else cause he was Hurt. the thing is, magnus isn’t PERFECT and he doesn’t NEED to be, but his actions, even if he has all the ‘’’right’’’ to feel and act however he wants, STILL NEED TO HAVE THE PROPER CONSEQUENCES LIKE THEY DO EVERY DAMN TIME FOR ALEC OR EVERYONE ELSE. so NO i don’t want to hear any excuse or double standards here, all the fucked up things he’s ever done, like stealing the cup from alec in 1x09, almost cheating in 2x13, WERE NEVER ADDRESSED OR EVEN AKNOWLEDGED and that is NOT good or healthy or fair in a relationship. ONE CAN’T BE A SAINT AND THE OTHER A SINNER. so after all this bs, instead we got such a void and superficial reunion that didn’t adress anything that happened at all, and it will continue this way for all eternity it’s what it seems. AND I DON’T WANNA HEAR ONE SINGLE THING ABOUT IT BEING GOOD OR HEALTHY, CAUSE THE ‘’I DON’T THINK I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU’’ (which was also bs, alec was living just fine and thinking very straight ever since...but sure, put words in his mouth while his ACTIONS don’t show them at all, such LOVE) IS NOT A HEALTHY THING WHEN YOU JUST MET SOMEONE TWO MONTHS AGO AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN ROCKY AT BEST AND YOU DON’T HAVE A FREAKING SOULBOND TO JUSTIFY IT. also on another note, how good is this relationship for alec’s character that he gets turned into an incompetent while he’s with m#gnus, re: the demon fighting, he could shoot one well enough with such a short distance a few hours before... 

FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT ANNOYS ME SO MUCH HOW THEY USE IZZY’S CHARACTER TO PROP UP EVERY SHIP AND THEIR MOTHER. who was she this episode? A PROP. most of all with m#lec, they always have her do it, gash about m#gnus and have alec do something about it until he feels the need to do it. it happened in 2x15, 2x18, and now in 2x20...and she deserves so much better than to be a mouthpiece for the inability of relationship to stand on their own!! even at the end with cl!mon, like before with sa!a and cl@ce in other episodes etc. etc. the list is LONG. give her GOOD THINGS DAMNIT

Season 1, Episode 6

I have no explanation for the stupidly long wait for this one other than the fact that I am a lazy motherfucker. BUT. CHALLENGE TIME- I’m in the midst of a mini vacation from work so when I’m not working on cosplay I WILL BE WRITING. Er, analyzing. Er, plotting. Er, SOMETHING.

Anyway! Onto the episode where Io pissed me the fuck off but still managed to be a loveable asshole in the end, anyway! Also LOTS OF UNDER THE SURFACE SHIT! YAYYYYY. 

I also apologize if I miss responding to some comments on these; with as sporadic as my time on tumblr is these days (90% is on mobile) I can’t fucking remember what replies I’ve reblogged or not OTL

Firstly I haven’t really thought much about it but what’s up with the title for this episode? “Love is something you wear on your back?” Is that a reference to the “so generous he’d give you the shirt off his back” phrase? If that’s meant to apply to Io in this episode for his “loyalty” I think they missed the mark there...

Yumoto eats a lot apparently- damn son stop growing!

Was that a sex joke?

THAT WAS DEFINITELY A SEX JOKE BOUEIBU NOT 2 MINUTES IN I AM SURPRISED AT YOU alsolololololololololololololforever

FANCY STUDENT COUNCIL IS FANCY omg they’re so fucking rich why do they even have this setup it’s so ridiculous

I sometimes get the feeling that this is a wealthy private school, similar to Ouran academy, with scholarships for low-income students (IE Yumoto). The parallels are there- but as established later in the episode, why the fuck would Yumoto be given a scholarship because it’s definitely not academics.

Maybe the Hakone family is actually wealthy but they just live modestly because their parents are gone and Gora wants to make the fortune last?

I MADE MYSELF SAD.

Finger bowls????

Apparently I’m an unultured swine because I had to look it up. You dip your fingers in the bowl to clean your hands between courses really???

Can’t we just... y’know... use hand santizier? This is like... 2015 for you guys right?

However it’s hilarious that Kinshiro decides that FINGER BOWLS of all things are important enough to have for the three of them at lunch so he wants to see if they can afford it.

ALSO I JUST REALIZED THE FORESHADOWING HERE WITH IO HOLY SHIT-

I SMELL RIVALRY

Kinshiro is a grumpy butt. Look at his face. Eat a snickers, Kinchan. You get micro-managey when you’re hungry.

So we’re halfway through the season and Wombat is seemingly trying to point our boys in a particular direction. HMMMMMM. 

Seriously I would love to know just how much of this is Wombat talking out his ass for the sake of the reality show and how much of it is shit he actually believes and he actually wants the boys to do a good job and ‘protect the earth’

I for one am on Wombat’s side because he’s fucking adorable but I do love the conspiracy/manipulation theory~

Ryuu and foreshadowing in 3...2...1.. WRITERS I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

Dat dead body smell

Even disgusted Akoya STILL manages to be gorgeous like whoah

Someone get this boy a modeling contract

PINKS THROWIN’ SHADE

I feel like this is the most lines that Akoya has had the entire show

I also realized during his little speech here that EVEN COVERING HIS NOSE his VOICE is still GORGEOUS.

Modeling contract AND record deal, PLZ 

So smug

Who knew pretty could be so evil~

I mostly just laughed at the cap of the DC all like ‘SHIT HE’S ONTO US’

So smug x2

Also this is where I started PINKSHIPPING

Like seriously I will go down with this ship even tho IoRyuu is OTP PINKSHIPPING MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

Just the rivalry and the pettiness sign me the fuck up for some angsty, angry making out in the SC bathroom

Whoops I just wrote a mini fanfic

Anyway this is why Cupkayke can’t decide on OTPs for this series because multishipping is fun

Wombat looks fluffier this episode

Too many Yumoto cuddles?

Pink kohai and dad-senapis!

Seriously I love the idea of these three hanging out together it’s adorable

And En is apparently really fucking smart

The entire conversation about Yumoto’s academic abilities is really interesting-

Apparently he has very good spatial awareness (child show me your ways I cannot directions for the life of me) but poor language skills

I don’t know if I am qualified to speculate about his cognitive state but perhaps it wouldn’t be so far-fetched to say that from that tidbit, Yumoto perhaps has a learning disability?

But then again, here it’s played for laughs/Yumoto’s just lazy and doesn’t see the value in school

Perhaps though he’s not motivated because he’s never really been able to get an instruction style that jives with him? So on certain subjects he’s over being discouraged and just accepts that typical academic instruction just isn’t for him?

This entire scene is fascinating from the lens of a future educator (albeit I haven’t taken any development or learning courses yet) but as someone who likes school Yumoto is the type of person (if he doesn’t have a learning disability, that is) who would confuse me IRL lolololol

“What? You don’t like the rigorous structure and inherent validation system of grading that even though it causes me undue anxiety and stress it gives me a sense of self-worth and purpose and without people giving me deadlines I cannot function?”

Well that got too deep oops I apologize for the too much in-depth taste of Cupkayke’s psyche

Someone more qualified than I am feel free to analyze this scene

Now back to your regularly scheduled magical boy blogging

Lolololol Gora wanting better for Yumoto - such a good big brother

“DON’T BE USELESS LIKE ME” - wait a second

IS THIS A LOWKEY REFERENCE TO GORA’S MAGICAL BOY PAST? Considering Maximum Gorar’s weapon is an axe and he has lots of chopping attacks.... hmmmmmmm did I just discover another layer?

Obviously Gora doesn’t know about the Battle Lovers just yet (or does he?) but still- interesting.

En trying to make them feel better haha such a sweetiepie

Atsushi get out of here with your logic

SWEATS NERVOUSLY

SCREW MONSTER FORESHADOWING

En and his ragging on Yumoto. I wonder when he goes from finding Yumoto annoying/exasperating to actually being that caring senpai? I mean, he could just be trying to be playful, but with his face here especially it comes across as he’s annoyed

Idk it’s kind of fascinating tho how he did not care for Yumoto at first

YUMOTO I HAVE NO WORDS

T________T

Revelation; Io is popular

Somehow I didn’t get that until this point in the series, but then again Io isn’t the type to care about his popularity unless it makes him money

So I guess he’s just admired from afar like this lololol

Io has a stalker- complete with creepy monologuing!

More screw foreshadowing!

Yellow phone for Io! They’re actually really heavy-handed with the color coding but most of the time it’s in ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ moments. It’s like a fun game of I spy!

I can see where the headcanon that Akoya has a crush on Io started- the fact he goes out of his way to compliment Io is a bit telling.

Buuuut I still ship the Pinks over IoAko; but with the caveat of the Pinks both pining over Io and having their feelings unrequited! Oooooh the angst!

The cute evil is scheming

IO HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT SO EASILY

THEY WEREN’T EXPECTING YOU TO SAY YES EITHER LOOK AT THEIR FACES

...maybe you do get along with the SC Io you seem just about as evil and scheming as Akoya here-

WAIT WHAT AM I SAYING

WOMBAT IS SO CUTE IN HIS TITLE CARD AWW

I love how Ryuu is trying so hard look at him

Io what’s with that face! How can you betray them all so easily???

It makes no sense!

Creepy glowing Hedgehog

I still don’t know how Yumoto can get a ZERO in Japanese. Is it his grammar? Conjugation? Is Japanese like English is in the US where they go over literature and like Atsushi said he makes logic leaps that no one else does so he misinterprets the text? I AM CONFUSED. Wouldn’t he at least get some points? 

Look at this adorable fucker thanking his boyfriend friend in English!

En is really fucking smart, though I doubt he guesses ‘everything’

This could play into En’s self-consciousness on how he’s percieved (see his panic about looking ‘old’) and perhaps he also only wants to be percieved as ‘lazily intelligent’. 

It wouldn’t surprise me though if En did study a little bit, just to brush up on some things, or took school seriously but didn’t need to study because he’s really good at regurgitating info on tests

Either way, it seems like he doesn’t want people to know whether he actually cares about school or not so he just says he ‘guesses’ and gets 100s

Idk maybe I’m looking at the wrong angle but that’s not that far fetched I guess?

….Io… I am a very disappoint

Like this entire episode is out of character for him or at least my understanding of his character

Like, it’s not like he’s particularly very close to any of the DC except for Ryuu, but he doesn’t seem like the type to just up and ‘fuck you guys and everything we’ve been through’

Like it’s no secret he finds the Battle Lover thing bothersome but it’s likely he’s well aware of the fact that if he quits the DC he’s not going to stop having to wear the loveracelet and he’s still going to have to do all the embarrassing superhero things until he stops getting shocked by the thing

And like even if he’s really only in the DC because their ‘meetings’ give him enough downtime to invest in his business ventures I find it highly unlikely that the Student Council would pay him enough to make up for the loss he’d suffer because of his free time getting cut. And Io probably knew that outright.

Unless he is actually a teenage boy liable to acting without thinking! GASP.

Look, Io, you pissed off the Pink.

Really pissed him off! Ryuu sees through your bullshit.

Okay. Unpacking here- Io’s face in that cap says to me that he is well aware of how he’s being percieved. He’s well aware that he’s betraying the DC and the person who he would consider his best friend is calling him out on it. That look screams guilt.

However, what he says here- and here is where I am pissed the writers didn’t give us more context- he says ‘money is important/money doesn’t betray’. 

Which if you take him saying this to its most logical conclusion, he’s saying that he feels the DC will betray him at some point. Being involved with the DC, which doesn’t directly make him any money, will hurt him in the long run to the point where he would feel betrayed.

He’s said this before; money doesn’t betray. I can’t remember which episode (which is sad because I just did a write up on it) but I know the context of the conversation was when they were talking about the concept of ‘Love’ with Wombat. Everything Io does is for money. Relationships seem to do jack shit for him. 

But it appears here that this move is premptive. You have to do some inferring but it’s not so far fetched to say that Io has found himself caring for the DC (and potentially the Battle Lover thing) a lot more than he originally thought he would. And perhaps, based on previous experiences (what, we don’t know) he is afraid that they will betray him. Whether in terms of finances, emotions, or both, isn’t clear.

I feel like in the snow episode of s2 there’s a throwaway line about Io making Igloos that might have had some more under the surface about his past- for some reason I inferred he was often lonely as a child. I can’t remember why, though.

But I guess what I’m trying to say here is that this scene would be a whole lot more poignant if we had the entire narrative. Io is making this move, on the surface, because of money. But that’s foolish, especially for someone as smart as him, for the reasons I mentioned above. Even as rich as the SC are collectively, they probably wouldn’t be able to pay Io enough for his treasurer services to make it more lucrative than investing in his downtime with the DC. 

So it seems like he is trading his relationship with the DC- a personal relationship with feelings involved- for a relationship with the SC, one that is primarily business-focused. From their outer appearances, Io definitely knows that ‘rich kids’ like himself don’t tend to focus on friendship, so he’d be relatively safe to keep things strictly business.

Which means Io finds the idea of a business-only relationship more appealing/safer than a relationship based on friendship.

And supposedly, by extension, even if he did have to keep being a Battle Lover, he could keep that relationship strictly business too, by simply showing up and helping fight monsters without actually spending any time with the DC.

But without the context, this is speculation. Is there anything in the novels/comics/games that add to this???

Ryuu is rightfully pissed off! But the look Io gives here says again ‘I know what I am doing is hurtful, but I made my decision in my/everyone’s best interests’. Supposedly.

GAHH I NEED MORE CONTEXT.

Supporting my theory that Io is simply being a stupid teenager! Which I suppose could also play into the slightly deeper motivations I speculated about. Buuuuut still... a bit of a cop out.

Monster that makes its own sound effects! Or one that’s attempting to be a Pokemon!

I love when the boys other than Yumoto get into the fight! Yay!

I guess they have time for full transformations since they’re missing one! (or they need to pad the episode runtime, MAGICAL BOY STYLE)

Such an empty yellow spot

Ryuu… you ran right into it... it’s like you weren’t even trying.

Well that sounds suggestive

THIS MONSTER IS RIDICULOUS I LOVE IT

EVEN THE OTHERS REALIZE IT

Poor Ryuu- I’d cry if I was tickled that much, too. I probably would have also pissed myself.

Io jfc you can’t just stop being ticklish because an enemy decides to tickle you!

Nonetheless, boyfriend is pissed

Oh wait- Io transformation by himself. More screentime padding!

In other words- “GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MAN”

DAYUM IO- punch the monster through a fucking WALL. Somebody’s been working out.

Also idk why the color is so off in this action scene- it’s so daaaaark

“I’m so humilated and my pants are probably ruined”

“It’s about time you got your head out of your ass and saved my ass or I was gonna kick your ass!”

Yayyyyyy they made up!

Why is the monster adorable?

Sassing Yumoto, a DC pastime

PFFFT YUMOTO MY SMOL PRECIOUS CHILD NEVER CHANGE

Seriously why is a screw monster so cute

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but it so looks like the CA’s pants are actually leeggings

Maybe that’s why Kinshiro wears a cape he’s self conscious about showing off his ass ffffft

DUN DUN DUN SPOTTED

Pssssssssssh you all are cosplayers at heart

Oh… is this why Yumoto’s bad at Japanese???

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN (x2)

I love this conversation- even without the underlying context it basically supports my theorizing (except for the implication that the SC would have potentially been more profitable)

Ryuu is right; he knows Io should have been able to calculate which was financially a better deal in three seconds. He probably knows that Io was struggling with something emotionally.

Io’s ‘I can’t tell you that’ is cheeky but I can take it 2 ways actually. Potentially, the SC was more profitable money wise, but the DC is more profitable for Io emotionally. So it could mean both of those things. Or like I thought earlier, the DC could be both emotionally and financially profitable and Io is just being a little shit because he second-guessed everything but doesn’t want to admit why.

Buhhhhh these boys.

Pshhhh En YOU DID NOTHING AND YOU’RE TIRED

OHHHH YOU GUYS AGAIN - interesting implications fufufufufufufufufu

You look like a cat Kinosaki

And lastly.. Dat face

Kinshiro has the evil villain glare/’stare into the camera like you’re on the office’ look down PAT

Well then! I don’t know if my ramblings about Io’s motivations made much sense but that’s like, the ONLY thing I can think of that justifies his willingness to leave other than he was just being a little shit and following the yen for no reason. Again, if there’s any other canonical evidence from other media that explains this episode please point me in that direction because I am confused! This explanation makes sense but... I don’t understand how the writers wanted the audience to take this episode. Reminds me of Tokyo Mew Mew where Zakuro repeatedly threatened to leave/actually almost did leave the Mew Mews, sometimes because of her own insecurities and sometimes because Mint was being a little shit and Zakuro wanted to kick her ass into gear. I don’t get that Io was playing with the DC to make them realize anything- this was he was working through something that we just weren’t privy to.
