#if they're gonna stay then they're gonna being the best wingman they can for him ( they maybe did too good of a job honestly. )

[flowerakatsuka]

earlier on in kurokara's friendship, i like the idea of kuroba asking karamatsu to come with them to a group date they got roped into. it goes surprisingly well since they're able to reign him in a bit and hype him up to the girls there... but he still doesn't get any of their contact info at the end of the night because they're all convinced there's something going on between him and kuroba.

Marchil crumbs part 2

Part 1 here - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6 - part 7

Unlike my other crumbs masterposts I'm gonna be doing the marchil one through different posts rather than reblogs because copy pasting my drafts would be hell. Are you surprised there are enough crumbs that this part got past 30 pics? Yeah me too ngl. Part 3 is already full too, ooh boy

Beginning vs end (chapter 23 vs chapter 96)~ Oh how far they have come

She sees him as dependable! For good reasons, despite him generally staying out of fights, but it's still nice to see her appreciating him.

More of him rushing to help her, and a bonus of the reverse:

Let's keep looking at early Chilchuck & Marcille for a bit. I'll likely repeat myself between parts of this masterpost but they really do stick together and are on the same wavelenght quite a fair bit.

I state my case once more: comrades in disgust. It's more than that too, though! Despite their differences, despite their relationship being strictly professional, despite him dreading her addition to the party at first, he truly does care about her and values her perspective on this.

Chilchuck above is straight up implying that Marcille is the moral compass of the party, and seemingly appreciates that about her.

In part 1, I mentioned how they do argue, but always talk it out and it never turns into resentment between them, but I didn't show examples. Now is the time! Let's see how they hash things out.

She's not offput by his brash demeanor and is very open to explaining. They don't typically tend to budge on the issues they debate, but they do have an earnest conversation with each other and the other doesn't fall in their esteem for it.

The biggest disagreements they've had is definitely Marcille using dark magic and the bicorn chapter, which was a both-way moment of tension between them. It was when she hassled him about a sensitive topic (his wife) and when he lied to her that he had cheated on his wife, because of that during the chapter Marcille is very cold towards him (but even then rushes to his aid and is worried for him when hurt etc etc), until he later opens up andthey have agoodlong good-natured chat about it, by the end they're both back to normal and laughing together. It's definitely the most Marcille & Chilchuck centric chapter out there, at this point give it a reread though we're running a tight ship here and it's 30 pics max.

Ok. Tangent over, back to how even though there are disagreements they don't fall in each other's esteem. Maybe it's more that they trust each other to have common sense really, which is running rare in these parts, but... When they were apprehended by Shuro’s party, Chilchuck isn’t worried about leaving Marcille by herself, unlike with Senshi and Laios. And this wasn’t a decision without weight either, because this is JUST after she has used dark magic, but her letting that information slip and landing them into trouble doesn’t even occur to him. For a good reason since Laios ends up being the one to do just that... It's as much as a confirmation as we can get that he thinks she has the most common sense and social skills out of the party

And speaking of putting stock in others: They strategize together and appreciate each other’s input very often! Part 1 already had some but here some more:

I do like how he gets to manhandle her after he gets manhandled himself so often lol. There’s also smth to be said about him having seen her as an halfling, since his type is blonde halfling women… Bonus of Marcille being the very contrary of enamored with Chilchuck's changeling form:

----

She is the best wingman. Has nothing but best of intentions. She wants to know her friends aka him better!! "I’ll invite you guys to meet my family" from Chilchuck means the world and more, they’re def not just coworkers anymore and man. MAN!!! Chil breaching that bridge for her. Him doing this because he knows she really wants that, AND blushing madly... If you wanna go the extra delulu mile it's kinda like he's opening his family up to her and fully letting her in, and may I add inviting her into his family perhaps even like something resembling a proposal after which she showers him in flowers and lover's gifts and-

Tfw you need to make sure your friend doesn’t get an inflated price/you make sure your girl gets only the best. This comic means they went shopping together btw, despite how he dislikes waiting after people ♡

Nothing to say about these they're just funny:

He do be keeping an eye and an ear out for her

Part 3 is here!

With juicy tidbits such as more of Chilchuck drooling over blond hair and them interacting across a table in the golden kingdom. Very fun very fun

[an-au-blog]

An Au where Sanji, Yamato, Zoro and Ace are one big happy poly couple

Ahahaha I mean you're not gonna be wrong!

I think they'd get there in a very messy and uncoordinated way but when they do,

Okay so I see the logic here as such:

Zoro already had some liking towards the cook but never did anything about it because what would it even matter? He's seen him interact with women, there's no way he'd say anything just to be rejected. He has pride.

That is until Ace comes along. At first when he watched them hit it off, he felt like maybe he was the problem. Why else would Sanji be so nice to Ace. Plus he never bickered or had a problem with Usopp and rarely did with Luffy. But on the other hand, they seem oddly close and he doubts it's either a cultural or a grudge thing. He never questioned when Ace would stay on night watch duty with Sanji, or when he'd stay after meals for "a cup of tea or coffee" with him. Though he did notice how touchy Luffy's brother could be with the cook and how little the other minded.

But after Arabasta one drunkin night Sanji tells Zoro how much he misses Ace and how he wishes he'd see him again. When Zoro says something like "As much as you can miss anything that isn't a woman" to which Sanji takes offense and responds with something along the lines of "Men can be just as beautiful as women, Ace is living proof of that." Sanji tells Zoro how at first he was a bit jealous of him because Ace used to make offhand how cool Zoro was in certain situations. And one thing leads to another, they end up spending the night together. Too drunk to realize what happened, they wake up in shock.

At first it's a bit awkward between them but they eventually talk about it (or I guess bicker). Their conversation gets nowhere and nothing much is resolved, but at least they don't feel like they're stepping on eggshells anymore.

After the time skip, where Ace doesn't die because I need them to be happy (he was on the island, training with Luffy), Sanji meets Ace, accompanying his captain to Sabaody Island. Without a second thought, he flungs himself at Ace, happy he can see him again. Ace doesn't join the crew or anything, but takes goes out to find some of the whitebeard pirates.

They eventually meet up again on Wano.

In my mind, Ace and Yamato are like those two guys who look like dudebro's but one day they're like "wouldn't it be crazy if we were both gay and into each other", and it turns out they were both gay and into each other...

Ace sees that Sanji is a bit too much into his (a little more that) bro and goes, I can wingman you. And it works out so well, Zoro and Yamato bond over being gym rats and liking these boylosers. Sanji is dying from blood loss every time he realizes his boyfriends have the best man-tits in the land. And Ace is in love with how much everyone loves him .

SnK modern au writing prompts/fic ideas...

...that I may or may never get to but if someone else wants to use these for inspo please do and then let me read it :')

Eren and Porco Pizza Shop AU 🍕 They're coworkers who absolutely hate each other's guts and constantly clap back at one another and talk shit throughout the duration of their shifts lmao. But eventually, over time, they develop camaraderie because their personalities are actually pretty similar, they like the same music, and they both hate their boss (can be Levi or Zeke). Slow burn enemies to friends with all sorts of shenanigans. (Bonus: they fight over Pieck, who's a regular at the shop)

Zeke x Frieda, hookup/fake dating au. They initially start hooking up to piss off their dads, Grisha and Rod, who hate each other. But then oops, they catch feels. "We're only doing this to piss off my dad." "Wait... I thought we were doing this to piss off my dad??"

ANY SURFING AU OF ANY KIND!!! 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️ I feel like Ymir would best fit this au tho. Ymir's a pro surfer and kicks ass. Or; the Warriors take surfing lessons. Annie and Pieck get it right the first try. Porco and Marcel need more practice. Bertolt struggles but gets it eventually. Reiner is too beefy to balance all that muscle lmao.

Eren and Historia ballroom competition. (I have this planned for Silhouettes!)

Dance competition. Can be any pairs, shippy or non-ship. But I like ere/hisu for this one. Along with Porco paired with Pieck. Bertolt and Ymir partner up because they both got rhythm 🎶 Reiner is one of the best dancers (such grace) and he opts for Annie. Mikasa and Armin pair up. Levi and Zeke hate each other but they dance so well together lol. Go wild with this one!

World War II AU. You know that one VJ Day Kiss in Times Square photo that's famous? Yeah that. Imagine your otp.

Gym drama AU: Porco and Pieck work out at the same gym as Eren and Mikasa. (Couples gotta stay fit together ayyy) One fateful day, Eren takes a break between sets and heads to the water fountain, where he thinks Mikasa is taking a sip. All he sees is her black hair pulled back from behind and he's like 'damn is she shorter somehow?' but thinks nothing of it (he's a little loopy from his intense workout) and smacks her on the ass. BUT it's Pieck! Mistaken identity oops! Pieck jolts up and turns around, utterly shocked and Porco hurries over there like 'WTF! Hands off my girl!' Then Mikasa emerges and is like 'Eren, what are you doing???' But Eren, cornered, doubles down despite being in the wrong and is like 'so what? who's gonna stop me?? Fight me!' ^^^this au also works if you replace Eren with Jean, but I feel like Jean would apologize profusely, whereas Eren and Porco would immediately start brawling lmao

Any Zeke x Lara or Zeke x Frieda AU tbh. These ships need more love and are so aesthetically pleasing.

Top Gun AU! Or Air Force, Navy Pilots AU! I prefer the warriors for this one. Reiner as a squad leader. Porco is Pieck's wingman. Etc...

Spy/Assassin AU. Pieck is tasked with taking Eren out but falls in love with him instead. They embark on an epic romantic adventure.

'80s AU!

'90s AU! Anyway, here's Wonderwall!🎶

Kingsman AU: I like Porco and/or Eren for this one.

Bachelorette party AU! Ooohh I have too many ideas for this one!

Birthing class AU. Eren and Historia take a class, accompanied by Zeke and Frieda (the jaeger bros and the reiss sisters ayyyy). I like the idea of porco/pieck taking this class too, and Pieck is just a major goofball throughout the whole thing.

Annie teaches a martial arts class. That's a versatile one. But I was flirting with mik/annie for this one ~~~~

Summer vacation AU: Pieck/Porco plan a couple's getaway, but then Marcel invites himself along, and that means Reiner is going, and then Bert and Annie crash the vacay too.

Dating game show AU: Pieck is a contestant, and her suitors are Porco, Bertolt, Eren, Zeke, and let's throw Levi in there for the lols. Okay, that's a lot. If I think of anything else, I may expand on it. Obviously, I've plugged my own ships in here but feel free to mix it up however you like! Maybe I'll do a holiday edition lol 'tis the season!⛄

[sexybabystevie]

steve and robin with hibiscus, from an outsider perspective their friendship is amazing and I wanna know more ab them both. The only thing I know is that they love talking ab women LMAO

A/n: I can't even explain how excited I am to write this. Their friendship is in my head 24/7!!! (By the way, I'm gonna make this into a series of small headcanons since I think it would be way better that way!)

Pick a flower from the Garden!

Robin Buckley Masterlist || Steve Harrington Masterlist

Platonic with a Capital P

Steve Harrington & Robin Buckley

Tags and Warnings: No Warnings, Best Friends!Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley, Platonic Relationship, Nicknames, Friendly Teasing.

Word Count: 1006

A lot of Steve and Robin's friendship does consist of them talking about women. With Steve being the only person she's come out to, he's, by default, the one who hears all of her gay panicking. Not that he minds, because she does the same whenever he rambles on about some of the girls that he tries to catch dates with.

They have this habit of being each other's wingman/woman, but since they share three whole braincells when they're together, it doesn't usually work that well. When it does, however, Robin has the practical side of things covered while Steve has enough confidence to boost the both of them.

Playful teasing is everything in this friendship. They tease each other about the girls that they have crushes on, their shared dating fails, anything. Robin is usually the one to initiate it though, since she can't stop herself from pointing out all of the absolutely ridiculous things Steve does.

"Hey dingus, what on earth are you doing? Wait – don't tell me you're mopping the floor with the glass cleaner."

"Huh? – Wait, shit! It looked just like the mop chemicals!"

"No..? It doesn't? The cleaner for the floor is fluorescent yellow; the window solution is blue. Have you ever mopped a day in your life?"

Being that Robin doesn't have a driver's license, Steve drives her everywhere. She needs a ride to school each morning? Or to her shift at Family Video? Well, fear not, because chauffeur Steve Harrington is ready in minutes to come pick her up. Sometimes he acts annoyed that he has to, but he doesn't really feel that way. He's more than happy to show up to her house, watching her shuffle from her front door with a wave and an excited smile. They're best friends for a reason, and he couldn't even lie and say that he didn't enjoy spending his off days out with her, driving the girl to various places, her favorite pop music on in the background as he listens intently to whatever she may be bumbling on about. He can't help the grin that forms on his lips as she keeps talking – he knows that when she's more comfortable around someone, she talks about everything under the sun – and he relishes in the elation that exudes from her.

Despite working at a video store, Robin and Steve still host weekly movie nights at Steve's. Every Friday night he drives to pick up Robin and they raid the local grocery store for any and all snacks that they can find. Candy, frozen pizzas, and various bags of chips fill their shopping cart, and before long they're out the door and into Steve's house.

Robin likes to choose horror movies for their movie nights because she thinks it's hilarious when Steve gets scared. His eyes will widen as the jumpscare pops onto the screen, his palms sweaty as he combs through his hair to try and act like nothing's bothered him. Robin always gives an over-the-top explanation of the movie before they watch it and Steve always acts all tough-guy, like he isn't terrified by the movies even though he really is. Robin loves it; it gives her more things to embarrass him about.

Robin spends the night on movie nights – Steve's parents are always gone, and despite him never directly stating it, she does get the feeling that having such a large home to himself all the time must make him pretty lonely. That's why she sometimes convinces him to let her stay over Saturday night too, the promise of more canned sodas and a comedy film influencing him to shrug and say, "Fine, Buckley, but you're not eating the last slice of pizza this time."

These two have the most absurd amount of inside jokes. Put them in any kind of situation together, and they'll surely be giggling about something incoherant like "Oh my god, did you see? It was a pink dinosaur!"

Regardless of the playfulness of their friendship, they also know when to be serious with each other, like when Robin expresses the difficulties of being a lesbian and when Steve complains about his family. Nevertheless, it doesn't take too long for them to be laughing like schoolchildren again, though. They're amazing at cheering each other up.

Sometimes Robin has enough sanity to handle helping Steve babysit his seven children, but most of the time she leaves him to handle it on his own. (Even if most of them beg her to stay, talking about how cool she is in comparison to their typical babysitter.)

And sometimes Steve calls her and invites her over under the guise that they'll be hanging out, picking her up and driving her back to his. He's smirking all the way there, and when she opens the door to find kids running around the halls like mad and blankets and board game pieces strewn all over the wooden floors, he nearly bursts out laughing at the shock on her face. She's quick to try and rush back out the door and into his car, but he manages to stop her.

"Nuh uh, Rob, you agreed to hang out."

"Yeah, with you, Harrington. A lady can only reasonably handle one child at a time, and right now we're seven over that limit."

It takes him a minute – face scrunched up in confusion as mouths the word 'seven?' repeatedly, counting on his fingers to make sure he hasn't somehow gained a child – and when he finally understands her teasing, he grabs her by the hand and brings her inside.

"Too bad. You rely on your ever-generous best friend for free transportation, so you have to pay the price."

Robin definitely makes him regret having her there by telling the kids embarrassing stories, though. She knows his children will torment him just as much as she does; in other words, perfect revenge.

Their nicknames for each other include, but are not limited to:

Steve to Robin – Rob, Robs, Buckley.

Robin to Steve – Dingus, Harrington.

Scarabée and Kitty Claws AU

Adrien Agreste/Stallion Star (Horse!Adrien)

Chloé and Adrien are actual genuine friends in this au.

Their friendship is at its best when they're reading comic books and manga.

Of course Chloé's comic geek side is (at first) a secret from those who aren't Adrien.

Adrien was also told by both Chloé and Alix (at different times of course) that they were friends when they were younger.

When told to keep what they told him a secret, he does without even questioning it, but he does want them to be friends again.

The box with the Black Cat Miraculous was put inside Adrien's bag when he helped out Fu, but when the akuma shows up, Chloé barges into The Agreste home and into Adrien's room to make sure he was alright.

When she threw her back on the floor next to Adrien's bed, this causes Adrien's open bag to fall over on his bed, making the Miraculous Box fall onto Chloé's open bag before he could even see it.

Chloé's then quickly taken out of the house (gently) after grabbing her bag.

When Scarabée and Kitty Claws are on the scene, Adrien's the biggest fan of Kitty Claws.

He's even in a couple of her after battle selfies.

When asked if he has a crush on her, he's like:

"Of course not! We look like we could be related."

Since Chloé never puts the gum on Marinette's seat (too busy thinking about Scarabée), that whole misunderstanding doesn't happen.

But much to Adrien's dismay, she's still iffy of him due to being friends with Chloé.

So it does take him abit of time to win her over.

Adrien finds out about Chloé's crush on Scarabée pretty early on.

Adrien, looking on Chloé's Instagram: I didn't know you were a fan of Scarabée.

Chloé, after nearly chocking on a piece of chocolate: No! What makes you stay that?!

Adrien, smirking: You seem too defensive to be just a fan...

Chloé, blushing: SHUT IT!!

Adrien, whispering: You've totally have a crush on Scarabée!!

Whenever Chloé and Scarabée are around at the same time, Adrien would often leave them alone.

He'd go the extra mile to be the ultimate wingman!

Adrien is quite good friends with Alix. He even remembers running into her at formal events when they were nine or ten.

The two would have their brief talks from time to time.

After hearing both sides of the story, he's even all for Chloé and Alix becoming friends again.

Chloé even gets Adrien into cosplay.

Adrien does get akumatized in this au.

Due to his obviously pushy and clingy fans (who become worse after finding out he's single & Chloé's not there to keep them at bay).

With promises of being able to keep the crazed fans away, Hawkmoth turns him into Heart Breaker.

An akuma that makes those he shoots hate or fear him.

Of course Kitty Claws is extra determined to save her best friend.

Heart Breaker: Come on girls! Give me your miraculouses. *readying an attack* I'd hate to make you fear me.

Scarabée: That's not gonna happen, Adrien. Get ready, Kitty!

Kitty Claws, internally: Hawkmoth better hope I don't find him.

Of course the two heroines beat and save, as well as purify the akuma (if you wanna know more about Heart Breaker, let me know).

When Gabriel akumatizes himself, Scarabée gets the Horse Miraculous from Fu and gives it to Kitty Claws to give to Adrien while she holds off the Collector.

After the fight is done and Adrien's back in school, Alix informs Fu that she's leaving the Horse Miraculous with Adrien.

Fu: Are you sure that is the best idea?

Alix: The boy has a good heart and can keep a secret, the Miraculous is in good hands.

Stallion Star's permanent hero! They also call him Stallio sometimes.

Alix gets Adrien into LaCrosse after he becomes Stallion Star.

Chloé is so happy to have Adrien on the hero team with her, but she can't tell him she's Kitty Claws (yet).

Chloé even has a Stallion Star costume made, just to show Adrien she's a fan (and supportive bestie).

When asked if they're dating by Nadja, the two heroes laugh.

Kitty Claws, laughing: Ew no! He's like my brother!!

Stallion Star: Besides, isn't it obvious that Kitty Claws is a Lesbian?

Nadja: Oh? Please tell more!

Scarabée: Before this gets any more personal, I'm gonna leave. You two coming with?

Kitty Claws and Stallion Star: Yes please!

Kaalki's quite happy to have Adrien as a welder and Adrien's happy to have the Horse Miraculous.

Just use Voyage once, and he's out of the house.

The sunglasses also double as part of his incognito disguise when he doesn't wanna be recognized in public.

After the Befena situation (and the debut of yet another hero), Adrien gets closer to Marinette by giving her a birthday present.

It's not much, just a friendship bracelet he made, but it helps Marinette warm up to him a little more.

[siren-virus]

Ok, first question about Luckyboy!AU, Rook has a girlfriend? As far as I know in cannon he doesn't even have a love interest? thought that might be my fault since it's been years since I've watched any Ben 10 series (really have to rewatch some eppisodes here :P) Who is she and what is she like? Has Rook ever taken her girlfriend in a date to the coffee shop? How much of a tease is Ben with Rook when he isn't on a date? And how much of a wingman is he when he is in one?

How is Ben's social life outside his Nekomata persona by the way? I imagine he still has some friends since he's a charismatic extrovert, but with how different everything is here compared to the prime timeline, I can't see who he might be friends with besides Julie.

Now, let's make some questions that aren't about Ben :D With the amount of invasions that Earth has had over the years is the general public privy of the existence of aliens as something more than just tourists that one almost never sees, or do they know but only aknowledge it when they see an alien in person? How is the general people view of aliens regardless?

Also, does Gwen 10 have good or bad public relations? Like, does Will Harangue berate her and turn the public against her, or is she lucky enough that he's focused on Nekomata and not her? How do the humans see her, as a hero, a child soldier, a menace, a necessary evil?

Also also, how do the Plumbers play in the whole PR thing? Do they manipulate everything so the humans have the view they think is the healthiest between humans and aliens? Do they only play damage control whenever alien activity is reported to the public? Are they known or are they still an underground organization? How does the public view them as, considering they're basically intergalactic police that aren't the most competent, specially considering that some countries have beef with their own police forces?

Now, to leave all of the political and heavy talk behind, how often does Ben play with Ship and Julie? Like, they're friends, obviously Ben gets petting privilegies and becomes a pet sitter whenever Julie has to go on a tournament and can't take care of them herself. PET SHENANNIGANS MUST ENSUE THERE, AND YOU CAN'T CONVINSE ME OTHERWISE XD

Also, I imagine a scenario where Kevin and Gwen enter the coffee shop unaware that the other is in there and Ben does everything in his power to force them to sit on the same table, reminding both of them that this is a true neutral zone and "Please don't break anything here and remember to play nice, if you manage to get through this without punching eachother I'll give you a discount on your next coffee", which is a very good offer if they think about it. Meanwhile Argit is waiting at the bar watching over the situation "Bet you 10 bucks they'll be shouting over eachother in 5 minutes" "Bet you it takes them 10 minutes"... It takes them 7 and a half minutes exactly and they can't decide who wins the bet. "There's no way they're getting out of this hating eachother any less" "As long as they don't break anything and don't bother the other clients, I count it as a win"

So Rook had an established relationship in Omniverse with Rayonna, she was introduced abit later in the series when Ben and Rook with to Revonnah. It was a very 2D relationship, just put there maybe cause of the whole shipping fiasco between Ben and Rook(?) don't take my word for it ;;

For the Lucky Boy! AU, they're together, but it's been years since Rooks been to Revonnah, crime never takes a break, neither does he. So his relationship with Rayonna is very flakey, they're on the verge of breaking up, buuut due to Revonnahgander traditions, they're together still. (pulling this out of my ass ;; )

Rook ends up mentioning he has a girlfriend at some point, it was just a casual thing, Ben won't bring up the topic because the way Rook talks about Rayonna makes him feel a little bit iffy towards the subject.

Outside of work and the Nekomata persona Ben's a little awkward in the social circumstances. At that point his social battery's almost completely clocked out. So unless he's dragged out by his friends, Julie, his old soccer mates - although it's happening a lot less now, since school finished a while ago and they're moving on with their own lives- (i refuse to call it football), Alan, if they both end up clocking out at the same time. OR, Rook. Sometimes Max if he's around will invite Ben for lunch or an afternoon snack run. (Mr smoothies, with a "healthy" dose of chillie fries. Best way to lure Ben out.)

Hell yeah, let's get down to the world building buisness, my favourite cup of tea.

Humans are very knowledgeable about alien existence, you'd have to be pretty ignorant to not believe in aliens. (I mean, lets face it, in the world we live in today, I bet, that if aliens did show themselves, some group would just say they're government actors, or russian/chinese spies. Comical, but sadly a realistic scenario...)

With the amount of invasions that have happened, and the daily attacks- normally done by humans with access to alien tech- Humans are quite fearful of them. Which has urged the plumbers to keep the aliens that live on earth down underTown.

It's not all humans of course, just most. Media influence has also pushed the feardar way up.

Will Harangue, surprisingly uplifts Gwen 10 to the eyes of the public, he's also much more focused on Nekomata. (bad news= views= good news). In Harangues personal opinion though, he'd prefer no aliens at all. So he does let his badmouthing of Gwen slip sometimes.

They do a lot of damage control, their original goal was to keep alien life hidden from the public until they(the people) were deemed ready, however, not so easy when an invasion happens nearly once a month. At least it's all limited to Bellwood. For now...

The plumbers are known to the public but aren't like your typical police force- you can't just call them. But they're always around on patrol. The police aren't exactly fond of them cause "They're terking our jerbs". But they have a joint thing going on, the police handle the human crimes, unless alien tech is involved, and the plumbers handle the alien crimes.

The public views them as an iffy subject, not exactly hailed as heroes, but more of a neutral, they're here to stay I guess, kinda thing. The focus is on Gwen mostly, as the poster child(adult) of the plumbers. (this is where I really wanna separate reality and fantasy, cause like, the issues with the police at the moment is major sooo, eh, it's a touchy subject matter)

Yes to this one. When Julie's away Ben and Ship play. Ben and Julie don't meet up often, work and the vigilante life make Ben way too busy, buuut when they do meet up Julie will pop by Bens apartment - Ben makes sure nothing incriminating is around if that's the case - , or they'll hang out at the dog park, and watch the dogs go ballistic around Ship.

For the pet scenarios, visualize them to your hearts content. I got some cats laying around for my reference... even though they mostly sleep- lazy bastards.

Yes to this too! Argit and Ben would totally make bets- Ben being an anodite can sense Kevin and Gwens emotions and when they're gonna break out into a fight- So he always wins the bets. Argit has learned to not bet too high when it comes to that- if he actually forks up in the first place- .

In the case Kevin and Gwen had broken out into a fist fight, Kevin obsorbing the marble counter, Gwen turning into fourarms. Ben nearly broke his cover trying to prevent any fights, until a coworker had stepped in and promptly kicked them both out. (maybe I'll design some coworkers)

Now to get me some mint tea, cause my fingers are about to freeze off ;;

[qvid-pro-qvo]

okay :)

hello

the whole song. literally the whole song describes when they see each other after graduation for the first time.

rooster and hangman met and were in the same training program and then make it to the same TOPGUN class together. they dated and broke up (rooster instigated the breakup). after all this time rooster comes back and sees hangman ("you look good") but it seem like hangman isn't affected by their past. rooster tries to connect but hangman pushes him away, gets snarky

water under the bridge

"it's so cold out here / in your wilderness / i want you to be my keeper / but not if you're so reckless" & "it ain't no life to live, like you're on the run / have i ever asked for much? / the only thing i want is your love"

flying again with each other after so long brings back memories about how good they were originally, but jake's hangman reputation came after the breakup and he's notorious for leaving people behind. so no one wants him to be their wingman. and now, he's pushing everyone away, especially rooster, who can see that there's still feelings there they haven't discussed.

"but my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and manmade / i'm scared to death if i let you in that you'll see i'm just a fake" & "consider this my apology, i know it's years in advance / but i would rather say it now in case i never get the chance"

during their time at TOPGUN. it was tough to first get together because of jake's background as a small-town kid, growing up gay, and fighting to get to where he is, but that background is what made him who he is. match that with rooster who gives everything he can to make up for the time he's lost, and is afraid that after all this time and being older he's not enough for jake. trying to compete for the best of the best while dating each other? only bad things are gonna come of this, but they can't know that yet.

love in the dark

"take your eyes off of me so i can leave / i'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me" & "please stay where you are / don't come any closer / don't try to change my mind / i'm being cruel to be kind" & "i can't face your breaking heart / i'm trying to be brave / stop asking me to stay"

rooster breaks up with hangman. and the reasons are unclear for hangman, but all rooster feels is that he's lost too much time and to make up for it he splits and goes hard and fast in the TOPGUN program. hangman resents him for it.

million years ago

"i only wanted to have fun / learning to fly learning to run / i let my heart decide the way when i was young" & "i miss the air, i miss my friends / i miss my mother, i miss it when / life was a party to be thrown / but that was a million years ago" & "when i walk around all of the streets / where i grew up and found my feet / they can't look me in the eye, it's like they're scared of me / i try to think of things to say / like a joke or a memory / but they don't recognize me now in the light of day"

rooster comes to hangman during tgm and tries to explain himself. explain that he followed his heart in good and bad times, but what ended up happening is that he isolated himself. he pushed away mav, he pushed away hangman. hangman tells him how going back to his hometown after they split and before deployment no one would talk to him or approach him and how much it hardened him and solidified his reputation as always leaving his wingman behind. shaped his whole current persona. friendship.

all i ask

"i don't need your honest / it's already in your eyes / and i'm sure my eyes they speak for me / no one knows me like you do / and since you're the only one that mattered tell me who do i run to? / look, don't get me wrong / i know there is no tomorrow / all i ask is / if this is my last night with you / hold me like i'm more than just a friend"

they find out that the mission is impossible. will probably lead to certain death. confident that one of them (or both of them) aren't going to make it back, they connect with each other toward the end of the program (think after dogfight football) and see if they can reconnect. then they find out bradley got chosen and jake has to stay behind, and jake goes to him and asks for just a night of good memories, because he doesn't want their last moments together to be what happened when they broke up.

sweetest devotion

"i wasn't ready then / i'm ready now / i'm heading straight for you / you will only be / eternally / the one i belong to" & "when you wonder if i'm gonna / lose my way home / just remember that come whatever / i'll be yours all along" & "i've been looking for you, baby / in every face i've ever known / and there is something about the way you love me/ that finally feels like home"

the mission happens. jake thinks he loses bradley, thinks the worst, but then he gets the chance to save him, to make up for what happened before, to prove that he'll be there for him, no matter his call sign. the ultimate act of devotion. and when they get back on the ground, they realize that no matter where they went they wanted each other, they needed each other, they were meant for each other. jake is able to find himself again after all this time, and rooster is through regretting the time he lost and looking towards the future with jake.
