#if you go into relationships with the expectation that they're probably going to cancel plans or not be dependable when you need them

[br1ghtestlight]

very uhh strange?? symptom of abuse/neglect/parents who are generally untrustworthy and don't give a fuck abt you is that im very independant and self sufficient which is mostly a good thing but occasionally annoying bcuz i dont have the capability?? to ask for help??? not like im ashamed of it or feel uncomfortable or anything like it LITERALLY doesn't cross my mind as a possible option that i could ask for help or talk to someone about something im going through. dont communicate very well with people in my life because i dont get why anybody would care about even MAJOR changes in my life like if im moving houses or having an important medical procedure. im very in my own head

i never had parents who i was supposed to tell where i was going or about doctors appointments or school and life stuff etc and i DEFINITELY couldnt depend on them to do things like drive me somewhere or be on time for an appointment so i stopped asking. people get annoyed at me a lot for this irl because i don't communicate or ask for help but like?? why would i trust other people to be there when i know that they won't be from past experiences

Untitled. Part one.

Summary: Deacon wants to introduce his girlfriend to his kids.

Note: Reader is a fashion model in her twenties. Deacon and Annie only have three kids. To be honest I like him and the reader together and I see potential. I mean, jealousy from Annie's side or her coming up with the idea that Deac is experiencing some midlife crisis, the kids hating/loving her, the team finding out they're together, she gets into trouble and he has to save our protect her...

Warning: age gap, afab!reader.

PS: I told you I can't stop.

Danica, the lead makeup artist of the photo shoot came over to you with a wide grin on her face, quickly sending the others away so she could tell you an important piece of gossip. You returned her smile as you leaned closer to listen, expecting something about the model who caused some chaos by not showing up.

But she remained silent for a little too long, and you began to assume it was about something else. And just like that, your suspicion was proven right when she finally spoke up. “There's a handsome silver fox outside with a police badge and he's looking for you. Jack is trying to convince him to leave if it's not related to an investigation, though, so if he belongs to you…”

“Oh, yes, he's mine,” you were quick to say with a bright smile. “Thanks for the heads-up, I'll talk to Jack.”

She nodded before gently patting you on the shoulder, giving you the green light to leave. Your makeup was done, it was only your hair that they had to finish before you could stand in front of the camera. They could surely survive five minutes without you, so you rushed out of the building to find your boyfriend and hopefully tell the head of security that there was nothing to worry about.

When your eyes finally fell on Deacon, you couldn't help but gulp from the sight. He was wearing a suit, something you always pointed out looked good on him, and when he noticed you, his face immediately lit up. You had been together for three months now, so this was probably the honeymoon phase making you this happy around each other, but you truly hoped things would stay this way.

His marriage ended shortly before you met thanks to Chris, and back then he wasn't ready to make a move on someone. But months later you met again on a night out with the team and he finally made up his mind to ask for your number. Long story short, he swept you off your feet with ease, and even the age difference wasn't enough to stop you from being happy together.

“Jack, he's with me. Can you let him in?” you asked with a sweet smile.

The man let out a sigh then gestured to him that he was allowed to enter the premises under your watch. Deacon leaned down to kiss the top of your head, already knowing better than to ruin your makeup, then took your hand and led you a little further away from people.

“Don’t get me wrong, I'm glad you're here, but why did you come? Did something happen?” you asked worriedly.

He was quick to reassure you with a shake of his head. “I just wanted to see you. But there's a change in the plans. Annie called; something came along and I'll have the kids over tonight,” he told you.

If he had the kids over, it meant your planned date had to be canceled. It sucked, but you were okay with it. His kids would always come first, and you liked that about him. He loved them more than anything, and it was nice to see how well he and his ex got along after the divorce. Were you jealous of their relationship? Yes, some days it was hard, but you knew they had a history together. You can't delete so many years with a piece of paper that proved you weren't together anymore.

“Raincheck?”

Deacon's smile returned as he watched you. “No. Come over tonight and meet the kids,” he suggested casually. You bit on your lower lip and avoided his gaze, showing the tell tale signs of your insecurity. “Hey, it's okay. I want them to finally meet you. Actually, I think Lila would love you. I was going through some photos of you the other day and there was this stunning picture of you wearing a purple gown. When she saw that, she said you looked like a princess and got all excited, saying she wanted to dress like that too.”

It was hard to hold back a laugh. You could imagine a young girl going nuts over the idea of wearing gowns every single day, and you could also imagine the way he was torn between smiling at his daughter and wishing she would just go to sleep.

Despite your good mood, you still didn't know if you were ready. Meeting the kids was a big step, one that he wanted to happen sooner than it would naturally occur. So you took a deep breath and stepped away, dragging him along as you walked back inside the building. Maybe if he began to focus on seeing you work, he would forget about this idea.

While Henry styled your hair, Deacon leaned against a table with his arms folded over his chest as he watched you. “You don't want to meet them,” he suddenly said. When you let out a sigh and tore your gaze away from him, he nodded. “At all or just yet?”

“It's too soon, Deac,” you admitted. “Look, we've only been together for a few months. I love you, you know that, but I don't think I'm ready for their questions. I need some time to figure out how to talk to kids first. I don't know anything about that, I don't have the experience, and–”

With a small smile on his face he came closer and signaled the hair stylist the step aside for a second. When you gave him a worried look, he just leaned down to place a light kiss on your temple. “Okay, okay, I get it. I love you too, no matter when you meet them. I can give you advice, don't worry, then we'll wait until you're ready,�� he assured you.

“Lovebirds, I hate to interrupt, but if you're not ready in ten minutes, they will kill you,” Henry said, but then his eyes fell on Deacon's badge. “Not literally, of course.”

“Yeah, I assumed you meant it that way.”

Emma: "This is Daniel, the coolest android in the world! Say hi, Daniel!"

Daniel: "Hello!"

Emma: "You're my bestie! We'll always be together!"

The thing is, Emma probably didn't even know anything about her father's plans to replace Daniel, and it is really possible that if she had a chance to get to know about it before Daniel, she'd be the one throwing a tantrum, potentially preventing anything that happened instead. Aside from just Emma, it was repeatedly mentioned throughout the game that kids actually love androids. For example there's this dialogue at the station that Markus can overhear:

Little girl, visibly upset, hugging herself: "Are we really going to get rid of Mandy?"

(Probably mother): "Grandma says it leaves her nothing to do, sweetie."

Little girl: "But she's so cool!"

Mother: "I know, honey."

Not only kids think they're cool, android-only band Here4You is even hitting the charts as one of the most popular among youngsters, whereas adults find them really creepy and soulless. Another overhead dialogue from the same chapter:

"I heard that android boyband is going to win sone music prize"

"You mean Here4You? God, they're so creepy.

"My kids don't listen to anything else."

From adult's POV this attachment is interpreted as just another form of phone/internet/social-media/[insert anything else young people are accused of liking too much]-addiction, because most of them are too angry at CyberLife to comprehend that their kids may actually like androids for who they are as people in their lives, for being their safe space of a kind, and not because they're just addicted to that fancy toys to play with (although there probably are some kids who'd see them exactly this way. There always are.)

It was truly a misfortune that Daniel got so overwhelmed by the news that he instantly became fatalistic instead of pausing to really think about it first, to maybe consider that this decision may not have been a collective one, and there's still a chance -- maybe a small one, but still the one worth looking into -- to cancel it by talking, asking Emma about if she knows (because she probably didn't) instead of instantly going for the gun to take revenge on everyone as equally guilty. Instead of asking, he instantly assumed the worst – that Emma's opinion in the matter will be the same as her father's, and that was his main mistake. Daniel must have had really good relationships with the whole family including the father who as it turned out didn't think of him as a person, but rather a replaceable object – something Daniel never expected or even considered before, which, by the way, only further implies just how much he was actually loved for this information to be this unexpected and this world-shattering. He never saw it coming AT ALL (and in a generally anti-android society it really is telling) so this unexpected truth basically overwritten everything he ever knew about his life and world as a whole, making him feel like a fool for not seeing it earlier.

In this sense he's really similar to Connor when he realised that CyberLife never loved him, that he in fact is NOT special, not an exception from the rule, and was only used as an expendable object. There really is a parallel here. Except for Connor this knowledge didn't came with an anger, but with guilt for his previous actions (and, you know, Connor was actually right about it while Daniel could have potentially made a mistake in interpreting it the way he did)

So "Daniel never saw it coming because he was only surrounded by love" is one theory, but now I wanna consider a different one, being –

He was never going to be replaced on the first place,

Philips family is just insanely rich and John decided that he can afford to buy one more android, because why not? The one they have is great, and their enormous apartment with giant gold statues of Buddha and big-ass pool area would benefit from another pair of hands. It's possible that this decision wasn't even planned, but just an impulsive purchase done by someone who's so rich that spending nearly 10K is not a big deal.

And in this case, maybe Daniel's suspicion accumulated over a period time of him hearing how other androids are talked about outside of Philip's family and always thinking "For me it's different – they actually love me for who I am and will never replace like that. They're not like those other people, they're different, I'm different." And then him seeing that purchase was just...the last straw that was needed for him to apply all those previous already existing suspicions to his own situation and finally consider that they might actually apply to him, resulting in him drawing those depressing conclusions that if true would mean that his whole life has been a lie that he was just too stupid to be able to see through.

So there's at least a small chance that it was all a result of just a big misjudgement and/or could be avoided if dialogue was Daniel's first choice of action instead of him getting blinded by his anger and urge to take revenge on those who -- at least from his immediate understanding of the situation -- betrayed him.

[minevn]

(sorry for mistakes) Is there anything that the LI is not willing to do for the MC?

Minato: Minato isn't willing to leave his grandparents behind to go live with you. Minato also isn't going to kill others and most times he wouldn't prefer to hurt others(He could, but he'd prefer to try and talk to them first and if that doesn't work then intimidate them, hurting others is a last resort)

Haruto: Really anything that involves you getting hurt, he loves you so SO much and it would literally destroy him to see you hurt and know that he was the cause of it. He'd much rather you hurt him instead. He probably couldn't bring himself to hurt Kage for you in most cases, if Kage ever did something to you then Haruto would just block all contact, using violence as a last resort.

Jun: Jun also would not hurt you, she prefers keeping you safe and in pristine condition. Jun also wouldn't take you to meet her parents, canonly you've already met them, but she wouldn't take you to see them anymore. If Jun had good parents, she would've loved for you to talk to them, but she's cut off all contact.

Hoshi: He wouldn't quit his job or endanger his family for you and he'd be really concerned if you expected him to. Hoshi is more open to hurting you, not anything like too serious, like play fighting. After getting in a relationship with him a bit of his lover boy personality comes back so he wouldn't ever seriously hurt you on purpose.

Habiki: He wouldn't give up on playing the violin or endangering Hoshi and their mom(yes, he would hurt his dad). Playing the violin and making a name for himself has ALWAYS been his dream and although he loves you, he wouldn't abandon his dream for you. They especially want you to be a part of their dream. If you move, they'll follow you anywhere and pursue their dream by you side.

Kage: Kage literally cannot hurt you. Not cause they're weak and their arms might break on impact, but because Kage would feel horrible if there was even a slight chance they COULD hurt you. Kage also wouldn't be able to hurt Haruto.

Kei: There is NOTHING Kei wouldn't do for you(Other then leave you alone apparently). If you wanted him to he WOULD kill you, but he'd also kill himself and follow you to the afterlife, and he makes you very aware of that. Death cannot stop him from being glued to your side like a parasite. You will NEVER be able to escape him.

Yani: Yani is much like Kei in the sense that there's nothing Yani wouldn't do for you. If you wanted Yani to leave you alone then Yani would disappear(against it's will ofc) but then be quickly replaced by another yandere who's more your type. But Yani has canonically caused mass destruction for you and has killed hundreds for you sooooo I think it's safe to say there's nothing Yani wouldn't do for you<3

Aki: Since Aki isn't a yandere there's a lot she wouldn't do for you, though at the same time a lot of it is pretty similar to the yanderes. She wouldn't hurt you seriously(she'd also be open to play fighting), Aki also wouldn't give up on her hobbies or change herself for you. Even if you two are dating she's not going to stop traveling, she would love it if you came with her and will always invite you, but if you don't want to she's not going to cancel her plans. She's been coming back to you after all these years, she knows she'll see you again <3

On cis chasers: (cw discussion of transphobic abuse from chasers)

If you're dating a cis person who seems supportive at first who says all the right things... but who becomes less so as you begin to legally socially or medically transition, or who begins to insult your body or transition or repeatedly says things/"jokes" that make you dysphoric (even after you tell them it hurts you) they are probably a chaser. You deserve better than that and will likely be better off and safer leaving them

Often chasers like other abusers start off with love bombing: they'll tell you everything you want to hear, say all the right words & appear like the ideal ally or like someone genuinely trying, they might even do token actions of support that seem like grand gestures at the time like helping with clothes binders gaffs etc. They may move you in with them or take you on vacation or on lavish dates - you'll feel over the moon and so lucky you'll also start to feel reliant on them or like they're "rescuing" you....

You may in time start to notice a one sided shape to the relationship where they'll expect you to be ready for them at a moments notice and rage if you have other plans but ignore you when you make plans with them and dismiss your hurt at being stood up. They may refuse to go out in public with you or seem hesitant to make things "official" or be seen with you but lash out and guilt you when you try to pull away,.

there will likely be double standards where what is acceptable for them eg seeing other people in an open relationship is suddenly completely unacceptable if you also do it.

Behind all this driving this behaviour is cis supremacy - they see you as inferior to them due to your transness and thus not deserving of the same level of respect they expect to be treated with; they may treat cis partners respectfully or they may also be abusive to them in different ways. If you're in an open or polyam situation they may triangulate you against other partners or try to make it seem as though you're in competition with them or tell them that other partner/s dislike you to discourage communication. If you do communicate with other partners openly they may throw tantrums yell at you or accuse you of cheating or betraying them because they want to be in control of not only your relationship with them but also your relationship/s with other partners and you communicating or interacting directly without them as an intermediary challenges that control

With a chaser often once you start talking about or taking concrete steps towards medical or legal transition they will find ways to discourage you, try to sabotage or stop you from transitioning.

it might be them blatantly telling you that it's disgusting to transition, talking about their love for and attraction to body parts they know make you dysphoric, they might say they won't love you if you do xyz to your body, they might threaten to harm themselves, they might physically touch or hurt you in certain areas or try to sabotage your healing from surgery if you've had it, they may hide letters from Drs and lie about not having received them or call Dr's to cancel your appointments. This is not okay behaviour.

It might be more subtle and manipulative in such a way where they try to make it seem like they're looking out for you or like it's your idea to pause your transition by telling you not to change your gender on your legal papers/ID & exaggerating the risk or disruption of doing it in countries where it isn't a safety risk, they might promise to support you then cancel last minute leaving you in the lurch and blaming you for their refusal to communicate in a timely manner, they might steal money from you or try to get you fired or threaten your housing. None of this is okay.

It's not your fault BTW if this happens to you. Abusive and chasey trans partners also exist and can do these things too but overwhelmingly it's cis chasers who tend to do this shit and leverage their cis privilege to do this sort of violence with little to no consequence for the abuse, often they'll just move onto the next victim.

Note that This is different to a cis partner discovering that they're no longer attracted to you as a trans person because your gender no longer lines up with what they're attracted to:

a non abusive cis partner who is experiencing that may physically withdraw and end the relationship or talk with you about these feelings and the guilt that's usually associated with ending a relationship under these circumstances but it won't be with the tone of trying to use the potential continuation of the relationship to coerce you into desisting in your transition - it'll be more of a trying to figure out where you both stand and how you can move forward conversation and they won't insult you.

This does hurt but it is infinitely more respectful than someone who lies to you about supporting your transition and then tries to sabotage it or hurt you to force you to detransition because they refuse to see you as yourself if they aren't attracted to you or if they enjoy the feeling of power they get from forcibly detransitioning someone or controlling them with dysphoria - a chaser will use dysphoria and transphobia and the threat of violence form them or others to control you-they don't want you to transition and alleviate your dysphoria because then they have less "tools" of controlling you in the relationship & keeping you reliant on them for validation

You don't deserve it and you don't have to endure it - they know what they're doing is wrong and they don't care that it is hurting you. Often they'll brag to others about what they are doing or try to frame it as a kink and appropriate kink terms and be fixated on trans fetish porn misgendering kink or detransition or breeding kink ( note: this is different from consensual gender detransition /forcefem/forcemasc play which some people do consensually and safely indulge in and enjoy - just like how CNC isn't the same as actually wanting to be sexually assaulted )

Please be safe and reach out for help if you're ever in a situation like this.

[drdemonprince]

Probably a trivial question during a shitty time globally, but I'm going a bit crazy trying to figure this out and need help.

For some reason, people cancel last-minute alarmingly frequently when I host gatherings on days that are extremely important to me. I am talking mainly about my birthday and that of my partner but also a huge milestone graduation do last year was a nightmare as well. Neither I nor my partner have any meaningful relationships with our families anymore due to political differences and rely on our friends for the sense of home and belonging most people get from families.

Except this is a bit of a wasteland, as I struggle to form and maintain close friendships because of how unreliable and disappointing people have been for a while. This is not an individual (although there are a couple of people who I know will cancel every time) but a pattern. Someone will forget to book the right train ticket, another will only lurk on the event group chat and then comment for the first time before the event to say no. One person memorably just said they wanted to keep the option of a weekend gateway open so they could only come to my graduation party if they decided not to do that. Am I missing something here? Is this normal? I need consistency and dependability to feel safe and I feel like people I'd normally choose as friends (witty, nerdy interests, progressive) turn out to be incredibly bad at showing up for me when I need them. A friend I thought was close went completely mum after I graduated and didn't congratulate me at all - after having discussed the degree and its struggles with me for 2 years. Part of me feels like I need to rebuild my circle from scratch and maybe find people I can talk to honestly about my needs from the beginning of the friendship. But it feels so late and desolate to start this process in my mid-thirties. Everyone else has friends they grew up with and who know everything about their lives. Meanwhile, I am at the stage where I have no close friends at all anymore because my needs seem too absurd to even discuss with anyone except my partner, and if I do, I just lose friendships. I remember reading your piece on how to do social things as an autistic person last year and feeling very inspired so I thought I'd reach out to you.

This is all exceedingly, exceedingly normal, especially in the days post COVID for a variety of reasons. When I make plans with people, I assume that roughly 30-75% of the people invited are not going to show up, and I've completely made my peace with that. A friend of mine hosted a movie night a few weeks back, invited I believe around 15 people, and ultimately four showed up, many people being last-minute cancellations or total no shows.

This happens for a variety of reasons. Many people are very socially anxious and decide at the last minute they don't have it in them to show up because they're freaking out. Other people say yes when the event is days or weeks down the line, wanting in the abstract to be there, but then on the actual day of the event, practical daily life constraints are far more visible than they were when the event was just an idea, and so then they have to bail. Other people feel really bad saying no, and so they wait for the last minute to share that they can't make it. And lots of people are so bombarded with notifications on a variety of social media sites and chatting platforms that they just forget all that they've committed to. And then you add into that random illness, flat tires, crying kids, and the like, and you have a lot of reasons why people don't show up to things.

Personally, I have come to accept this. If I go into event planning assuming most people can't make it, my feelings aren't hurt. Every person who does show up is a gift. My invites are an opportunity, a true invitation, not an obligation or an expectation. I don't hurt my feelings in advance by telling myself that I need a high turnout for my birthday or that because I've worked hard making a certain dish for a party (I never actually do that admittedly lol) that a lot of people need to come and eat it.

And I invite people that I like and want to see, over and over again, because I care about them, and I want to show them that I care about them and that I understand they have other things going on and I am not offended that life got in the way for them. I want them to feel loved and included, even if they can't make it. Even the gesture of inviting a person to an event and them showing some interest is a meaningful act of maintaining social connections, for me. And so if they can't make it on the day of, that's fine by me.

I'm 35. My friends are anywhere from 21 to 60-something. People cancel events because of sick kids, broken down cars, long work weeks, depression, double-bookings, writing deadlines, social anxiety, busted ankles, not wanting to see one person they're currently having a difficult situation with, and any number of other factors. If you love people long enough, they get really complicated and their lives get really hard. I find that the most beautiful and friendship-sustaining thing one can do is to not take it personally, because you're going to need that same grace yourself plenty of times. People will drop of the map for months or years sometimes because they're going through hell, and you dont to deprive yourself of being open to reconnection when they're available again.

There's really no need to read anything into the randomness of life. This stuff will happen, so it's rational to expect it, and loving to not mind it too much.

Do you need to make some new friends? Maybe so! I have multiple different friend groups and I think that's healthy. You may find the no-shows less painful if you have more people to lean on. It's always good to form new connections, learn new things about yourself, expand your skills and understanding of the world through new information and experiences. But should you start over, and ditch your friends who are flakey? I don't think so. To be loved is to be sometimes flaked upon (and to flake). In this capitalistic, individualistic hellscape it's vitally important that we extend one another grace.

Tumblr Vent Time because,, why not I have anxiety

When I was younger I was one of those people who always texts back, who expects others to always text back, who expected others to remember every shadow of a thing I'd ever said to them and felt like I was being deliberately toyed with when people failed to text back, or forgot plans, or flaked. Now that's sometimes the case, sometimes people suck, but as an adult I've found MYSELF not texting back sometimes, forgetting things people said, forgetting casual plans or needing to rain check for something more important.

Growing into an adult I realized that sometimes people just,, forget to text back?? Because I certainly do sometimes. Sometimes people just,, don't wanna hang out. Sometimes people just would prefer to do something else. It doesn't mean they hate you. It doesn't mean they want to mess with you. You can make the case that it's because they "don't care" about you, but that's not really true. It just means that they care about other things more.

And. That. Is. OKAY!!!! You should not be the number one most important thing in the life of every single person you meet!! It sounds like common sense, but the amount of people who subconsciously feel the same way I used to is so overwhelming. The amount of "if they wanted to they would" and "if they cared they'd do XYZ" it's exhausting. I think it's this side-effect of anxiety being combined with main character syndrome, and I think everyone is born with Main Character Syndrome and has to grow out of it over time. You subconsciously think that everything a person does or doesn't do has to involve you, or their feelings towards you in some way. When usually, I hate to say it, usually people aren't even thinking about you, they were thinking about one of the countless other important things in their life. Because if they were,, guess what? They'd text back/remember the plans!!!

Anyway this has been triggered because my partner started shitting on my friends for planning a trip (that I am not on, btw, only them) for the same weekend as an event we were GOING to invite them to. Because he probably mentioned it to them at some point months ago. So they shouldn't have planned the trip? Like?? Sorry if someone says casually at a party"oh you should come to X public event in 3 months" (because it's a public event, not a party he's throwing or something) and then never ever followed up on it, I would not consider that a formal invitation. Even if I remembered the event was happening, which I probably wouldn't, but even if I did, I wouldn't think I had to "cancel" on plans that were never officially made much less turn down new plans in favor of plans that were never officially made.

And I know it's his anxiety and self-loathing making him think that they (among others, because they're not the only people who turned down an invite because of other plans they made which I'm sure contributes to it) did this to hurt him or because they don't like him or care about him, but it's just very unfair to my friends who REALLY like and care about him, and it's unfair to me because I do shit like that sometimes. Maybe not to him, but I do it, so hearing he thinks people like that are mean and devious doesn't feel good.

Anyway I told him that it hurt my feelings and he hasn't texted back despite it being a previously immediate back and forth conversation so. This has been my relationship-issue-inspired rant about texting back and main character syndrome

[buckgettingstruck]

i love how some people are like i would love for tommy to not have a problem with buck choosing eddie over him and being with eddie over him and i'm like yeah so you guys don't like a person to be human because to me if my boyfriend would cancel plans with me to hang out with his male best friend and it starts becoming a habit me as a human I would start to be like WTF is going on even if I KNOW that Eddie his best friend is going through an awful time, a part of you would be wanting to be selfish and be like can he not find anyone else to take his time except my boyfriend? And that's when Tommy starts to question Buddie.

They're saving that triangle shot of Tommy noticing something between Buddie for S8 when Tommy is gonna start putting the pieces together. He still has to play a plot device, the Tommy arc got extended probably with how quickly they were renewed for S8. The Tommy character clearly is not getting expanded.

yeah like my best friend of 7 years has been dating a guy for the last 2 and i know she’s going to prioritize time with him over me! like it’s a relationship i expect that and it doesnt bother me. ofc we have eddie’s mental health which im sure would be a factor in how much tommy cares about it so who knows ig. because eddie is suffering rn 😭

and yeah since they got an early renewal and a lot of hype with him im not surprised hes sticking around a bit longer. hopefully its not drug out too long im tired

hiii <3 for the emoji oc asks, 🍩 ☘️ 🥃 🍓 🥛 for roo!

hey hey!! 🫶

🍩 [donut] : "What is your OC's biggest flaw? How do they deal with it? Do they deal with it?" Roo's biggest flaw definitely has to be his trust, although shy at first and not trusting of people initially, if he gets along well enough with someone, he can really put his entire heart into trusting them, which has led to one of his most tragic and traumatizing memories. This is a flaw of his that people, like friends and family, notice about him, he doesn't really realize that trusting people too fast is a bad thing, and thus hasn't done anything to deal with it.

🍀 [four-leaf clover] : "Would your OC spend hours looking for a four leaf clover?" Probably not, He'd search for about 15-20 minutes before he'd get self-conscious about what strangers think about him, and he'd start to overthink and assume everyone thinks he's a madman.

🥃 [mate] : "What does your OC look for in a friend? What do they find is a turn-off?" He prefers people who are easy to get along with, and understand his sense of humor (or have the same exact sense of humor), he wants someone who can listen to him ramble for hours and not get bored or upset, but is also good at communication (like for planning stuff, parties, events, and just overall good at communicating their feelings instead of expecting him to read their mind). Although he is very lenient and he feels like as long as he can get along with the person, he doesn't need to worry about other qualities (which could be considered a flaw or red flag in him depending on how u look at it). His "turn-off"s (I'm assuming in a friend? OG question kinda weirdly worded ig idk) would be someone who cannot for the life of them communicate, like if he talks to them and they're very clearly off or not having it with him, he'd much rather them tell him that they need space instead of him feeling bad the entire time they're hanging out, he's lenient! So he doesn't really take it to heart or mind if someone needs space, or has to cancel plans, or wtv, his schedule is flexible, he's always free to re-schedule or just cancel as long as they tell him.

🍓[strawberry] : "How do they feel about 'cute' things?" This is a weird question, but he's rather indifferent? Cute is very subjective to him, so of course, he's loves cute things, like kittens, birds, stuffed animals, etc. If you were to go off of 'objectively' cute things, like babies, in which case, he doesn't really like ("objectively") cute things.

🥛 [milk] : "What is your OC's relationship with their biological parents like? What about their relationship with any non-biological parental figures?" To answer the first question, his father had passed before he was born, but considering the kind of man he was before he'd passed, Roo would've looked up to him and only him, and his mother is mostly a deadbeat (her boyfriend/roo's father was very important to her and they hadn't even gotten married before he died and often feel like its her fault for his death) who forced herself to take care of him (initially she considered it, but as he grew, she saw a lot of his father in him) instead of pawning him off to foster, or throwing him onto the road, while it was sweet, she was far too depressed to take care of him, he reminded her of her boyfriend a little TOO much and it made her really sad, and often angry, eventually resorting to alcoholism and dr*g use, Roo distanced himself from his mother as he got older, slowly realizing she only kept him for her own selfish reasons, and considering his own self-esteem issues and overall problems, he often wished she hadn't kept him. Now-a-days, He does not care enough to even think about his mother, and often forgets that he even has a biological mother, whereas his father's death still haunts him. Answering the second question, growing up, Roo was not surrounded by a lot of parental figures, whether his own or others, but around high school, he eventually made some (now "disposable") friends, and their parents LOVED him, treating him like their own child, which sometimes made Roo uncomfortable, while he appreciated it, and while he loved the attention and love that he got, it was a backhanded reminder that his own mother "couldn't care enough" (in his POV) to give him this same treatment, and he just straight up didn't have a father, and he found himself leaning more to fathers and grandfathers, rather mothers and grandmothers (no hes not a mysogynist, he's literally woman's biggest hype man), simply because he found a father's love to be deeper and real, while a mother's love reminded him of his deadbeat mother.

Placements That Are Lowkey Red Flags 👀

Hi everyone! Some of my other posts are sickeningly sweet, and while I love making those, I've decided we need a change. Y'all deserve to be put in your fuckin place lmao. Anyway, enjoy my bullying <3

Please note: PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU'RE EASILY HURT! THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUNNY! Also, this is just my opinion, and as always, there are never any bad placements. I'm a stranger on the internet, what I think about your placement literally could not matter less. Another reminder that (as I said before) there are no bad placements, and it's all about how you use them :)

- I've gone on about this before, so I won't rant too much, but Libra Sun men. They got the Mansplain and Manipulate, but none of the Malewife 😔💔. They are no good. Not a fan!!! Something I didn't talk about in my last post is the way they kinda gaslight?? I can't provide any examples you just gotta believe me. Underdeveloped Libra Sun men are just such people pleasers that they'll totally change themselves to fit you, and you end up becoming friends and trying to build a connection with someone who isn't real. Very ingenuine, can't stand up for what they believe in because what they believe in is so flimsy, can't have a real relationship. Sorry guys <3

- Scorpio Moon. Now, I definitely have met nice Scorpio Moons, I'm even friends with some!! (Only one, but you know). They are just so black and white?? You know exactly where you stand. Which is great!! Except for when they don't like you. It doesn't even take a whole lot to piss them off! Sometimes they're just off and decide they don't like you. And they get mean. Then when they feel better, expect you to be fine?? No sir, you just ruthlessly insulted me in front of everyone. Why would be be besties again, immediately?? Sort your shit out please and thank you🙏

- Taurus Sun/Mercury. Y'all are sus. You would chew me out for a petty or stupid reason, and not let up even once I apologise. Y'all are also the type to double-down when you realise you are wrong. My Aqua Mercury will fight you to the death, because I do the same thing and arguing with you gets us nowhere. Just suck it up and admit I'm always right smh 🙄🙄.

- Gemini Venus. Flaky?! Just stick to the damn plans man. Yes, I know you hate how I need at least 3 business-days notice before we hang out. But I hate how you're able to just get up and *DO* things??That feels scary and irresponsible and like disaster waiting to happen. You're scary. Also, if ANYONE is going to get cancelled, it's you guys. Probably cyberbullied a child or something idk. Gossipy. Should be feared by those who don't want to be talked about.

- Aquarius Mars. Oh you DEFINITELY cyberbully people. Also probably ghost people. It's mostly because they pissed you off, or have different political opinions to you, or wanted too much from you. I get it, they deserved it. But that doesn't mean you can just stop all communication. That's mean </3. Please learn to use your words and communicate, I'm actually begging.

- Aries Moon. Please shut up. For once. I say that with affection and understand, but god do I mean it. I don't care if it's funny, I don't care if it'll be a great story, I don't care if it makes you look cool. That's a stupid thing to do and you WILL get in trouble. Don't be stupid. Y'all need a full time babysitter. Mostly if you have other fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) or air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) placements, but this still goes for all Aries Moons in one way or another.

Okay everyone! This is all my bullying for today. I'm really sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings! That was not my intention. All of this was said as a joke (my love language is making fun of people lol). Thank you so much for reading, and tell me what you think! Sending you all so much love <333

Idk if you ship AllEraserMic, BUT:

Yagi is sad/grumpy bean bc he feels like he’s not getting enough attention in the relationship so he ignores his partners and avoids them. Then they ask him to go on a date, then he makes some snarky comment and that triggers tickles and eventually a conversation where they talk and make up! >w< No more grumpy Yagi

If you do not ship feel free to make it platonic!

(AllEraserMic is one of my favorite pairings, actually, both in platonic or romantic scenarios. They're just so adorable and cute together <333. Well, thank you for your asky! I hope you like this! :DD)

Warnings: Angst, hurt/comfort, mouth tickles, Ler!Hizashi, Ler!Aizawa and Lee!Yagi. Romantic Pairing. Lack of communication. Happy ending. Cheer up tickles

[~*~]

"Toshinori." The one being called felt the careful way Hizashi pronounced the name, getting close to his form and that made clear that the conversation he has been avoiding for days now was inevitable. Shit. "Toshi, that is the third time you canceled our date this month, what happened?"

"I thought you were going to visit the new restaurant close to UA, today." He deflected, not really answering, not really not answering, too.

“We decided against it. It is no fun if you aren’t there, ya know?” Hizashi tried a more upbeat tone, trying to mask at least part of the worry in his sentence, this realization made the other hero’s stomach turn, especially when he couldn’t stop the way his own expression turned in a frown with those words. Without even prying his eyes away from the tests he was grading Yagi knew that such reaction didn’t go unnoticed by the other two, especially with the way Aizawa drummed his fingertips on the door’s frame, where he was inclined.

And it wasn’t fair. He knew it. It wasn’t totally fair to avoid his partners just as he has been doing on those days, expecting them to know exactly not only what was wrong but also how to comfort him. The thing is: it was hard. It was very hard to listen to them laughing and recounting their stories and shenanigans of old Yuuei’s days on the teacher’s lounge, where they would playfully poke fun at each other and talk about how they both were probably responsible for a bunch of teacher’s retirement and, sitting there, smiling, drinking tea and humming in agreement on appropriate times, Yagi couldn’t help but feel…

Left out.

He didn’t have the history both Aizawa and Hizashi had with each other, and that made a mix of feelings - the ones that left you afraid of what would happen if you just let them out - boil in his blood. That is why he began to slowly pull himself out of their activities.

(And a part of him continued to wish with all his might that they would realize his plan, see behind his façade and ask him to come back.)

However, he missed them. He missed Aizawa’s soft touch and Yamada’s ringing laughter. He missed their mess when they insisted on cooking together and the fake fights they had over who would choose the movie they would watch. All of this, together with how much he trusted them and knew, deep down, that what he was doing was just dodging the problem, made him grumpy. Extremely grumpy, even if most of the time the former number one hero managed to keep all his snappy comments to himself.

“Toshi…” It was the warm touch of Hizashi’s hands on his shoulders that made it. It gave him a reminder of what he could enjoy if he just told them.

Before he even realized the words were already coming out of his lips. “Well, that didn’t seem to be a problem before.”

Wide eyes, Yagi’s head snapped upwards, staring at his partners, locking his gaze Aizawa’s stared him back, concentrated eyes, watching him as he was a puzzle he was trying to resolve before traveling his glare to Yamada, wincing at the surprise and worry that now freely danced on his face.

“I,” His words stumbled for a few pieces of second, trying to repair what he said. “I- That was- What I said was unnecessary… I will make dinner right now.”

But Aizawa angled his body so he was between the tall blonde and the room’s door, arms crossed, eyes still searching.

“We can order something later, what we need to do right now is stop running around the problem and talk.”

“Direct to the point…” His shoulders slumped, suddenly tired. “As expected from the pro hero Eraserhead.”

And then something softened on the other’s gaze. He moved forward, taking his hand and running his thumb on Toshinori’s palm, leading to something on Yagi’s chest also get softer.

“This is not a thing I am saying as Eraserhead, this is me as Shouta wanting to understand what is happening, which can’t happen if you don’t communicate.”

Yagi could see how honest he was being. He could feel his own barriers start to crumble right here and now, against his own internal battle.

Hands came back to rest on his shoulders, he turned around only to find the Voice hero’s vivid eyes locking their gazes together, care shining strongly on them. “We’ve been missing you, Toshinori, and we want this to work, so, please?” Thumbs began to softly massage the base of his neck and that was the moment he basically melted, pretending to not notice how smug Yamada’s expression got at his reaction. “Now, can we stop being a grumpy pants and chat for a bit, pretty please?”

Aizawa snickered, heading them to their shared bed.

“Not grump.” He grumbled half heartedly, a part of his soul feeling much lighter that they didn’t immediately kick him out for showing a negative emotion.

Talking about that. “I am… truly sorry for snapping and avoiding you. That wasn’t very mature of me.”

“I forgive you.” Hizashi smiled reassuringly at him as Aizawa nodded. “Let’s just try to talk before something like that happens again, ok, my favorite listener?”

“I promise I will do my best.”

Hizashi hummed happily and lowered his head to give him a quick peck on his lips. Yagi then turned to Aizawa, eyes gleaming. The black haired hero huffed and rolled his eyes, not unkindly, before also giving him a kiss.

And then they talked and talked and talked.

…

“Urg. Feelings.” Aizawa threw himself face first on the mattress, groaning in protest when Yamada was quick to follow him, rolling on his back just so he could lay on the right side of Toshinori, successfully sandwiching him between the youngest heros.

“Tell me about that.” Yagi chuckled, pulling his partners close with a content hum, feeling much lighter now than in the last three weeks.

“I don’t know…” Yamada made two of his fingers walk on the right side of the blonde. “I think grumpy All Might had its advantages. It was quite cute.”

“Hizashi…” A couple of titters painted his words, making the other’s grin grow bigger. His fingers started to walk higher, resting and vibrating on his lowest ribs “No!” The Symbol of Peace snorted, his body squirming and trying to escape the attack. “No, Hizashi, it t-ti-tickles!”

“What? No, no, sir!” Yamada laughed, his other hand shooting to tickle his right armpits, making the former number one hero gasp, wiggling from one side to another with louder giggles, trying to escape from one offending hand only to throw himself to another one. “Do you think you can escape my affectionate attack, huh, do you? No, no, my darling. You’re going to receive all the tickly-tickly-tickles for ever and ever until you remember very well how much we love you, right, Shou?”

Yagi’s eyes widened and he turned around, a gigantic wobbly smile plastered on his face and shiny eyes staring directly at the black haired one, who tried his best to not look too fond at his partner’s silliness. Yagi’s hands were quick to tangle themselves with his, huffs of laughter and squeals cutting and mixing themselves on his words.

“Sh-shouta, s-s-stop- stop him!” A snort flew through the air and Toshinori felt the tip of his ears burn. “Plehehease help!”

Aizawa looked at him for a moment before letting a smirk take over his expression.

“Since you asked so nicely…” His arms wrapped around him, being careful to avoid his injury, and he shoved his face on his so-sensitive neck, resting a series of buzzing, unbearable raspberries on the awfully ticklish spot. Yagi shrieked. “The sacrifices I make for you two.”

“Help me, not him!!” Tears began to collect on the corner of his eyes, loud, happy chuckles flying across the room as fingers wiggled and scribbled on his tickle spots and nibbles and raspberries made all his nerves tingle in joy, teases also dancing through the air and leaving a trail of warmth on his cheeks and heart.

And, in this moment, being hugged by two of the most special people in the world for him, Yagi Toshinori felt loved.

[elsecrytt]

not sure if anyone else has already asked but- lucifer/mc/satan? 👀

It's not a rarepair sandwich,,,,, BUT I LOVE IT SO LET'S GOOOOO

SO. The father and his rebellious son, huh? "I HATE you dad" and "Ah, yes, my six adult brothers, all thousands of years old, acting like actual children"

Separately, they're among the most reliable, calm, and intelligent members of the cast. Absolutely the person you go to for help with your problems.

They do individually have their eccentricities - Lucifer likes to make demands for his help, and enjoys teasing or playing with you, whereas Satan is very generous and friendly but can get quite absorbed in his interests (cats, books, new experiences).

But outside of that, you can pretty much count on either of them for anything. Dependable loves <3

Probably the real meat of the relationship here though is in the dynamics between them.

Independently, they're both excellent partners, not necessarily much to comment on that. It's when they spend time with you together, or have other occasion of "sharing" that things get... neat.

Satan and Lucifer are actually both very confident partners who wouldn't normally worry about your affection for them. And Lucifer doesn't, but Satan definitely feels some inferiority towards Lucifer.

I don't think Lucifer is wholly unaware of this, either. He's pretty conscious of Satan's... issues, and at points he even seems to blame himself for them.

Their relationship can be very up and down. Satan, at his best, expresses affection for Lucifer through pranks and can carry on a conversation about tasks or everyday activities with civility.

Satan at his worst sometimes just kinda wants to fight his dad to the death. As you do.

There WILL be some competition over your time, but they're both reasonably calculating over it.

Neither of them expect you to cancel plans, and Lucifer has too much self-respect to barge in on yours, but Satan will feel free to invite himself along through various socially acceptable means.

Lucifer isn't necessarily opposed to this, either. Satan's main focus is to steal Lucifer's time with you, not sabotage it.

Lucifer's reasonably fond of Satan, and while he doesn't like his time with you being stolen away, somewhere, deep down, he's happy to spend time with his son brother without an attempted murder.

And he also thinks it's a good way for Satan to "get out" his resentment, as well as assert some form of superiority/get a "win" against him, without causing any real harm.

Satan's not stupid, he will get suspicious, though he doesn't necessarily understand Lucifer well enough to realize Lucifer would give him a victory if he just asked for it.

And of course, the two will happily compete for your attention. Luci's not giving Satan anything for free, after all >.>

Definitely each one tries to offer you some of his dish, wants you to sit closer to him, brings up a topic of conversation for you all to chat about.

You're free to do as you please, although you can't favor one over the other consistently or the neglected one might back out of the relationship out of pride.

Specifically Satan will probably be particularly hurt if you favor Lucifer, who you can probably make it up to in private.

Lucifer is normally pretty invested in appearances, but when Satan competes with him for your attention, it's his pride on the line - Lucifer doesn't worry about being inferior to Satan, and he knows it.

The competition is somewhat unhealthy on Satan's part and he probably gets kinda unreasonably upset if he doesn't come out on top - which, sometimes, he will have to, bc Lucifer can't be the third wheel on every date you make with him that Satan intrudes on.

It can be a pretty uncomfortable situation, too, and Satan might take it out more on Lucifer than on you - he knows he was the intruder in that situation, and Lucifer is the one he dislikes.

Luci will take it like a champ tho. Ya gotta love 'im. It's not like it particularly bothers him, anyways.

And then ofc, there's intimacy - Lucifer tends to be very private about his intimacy with you... but Satan has a pretty intimate connection with Lucifer, considering they both acknowledge they were once one being.

They could totally double-team you. It could be really great, too, if they weren't both constantly focused on outdoing one another.

Expect lots of overstimulation. They snap at one another relatively often - they both race to make you cum first, and then they want to make you cum last; your pleasure is absolutely the focus of the encounter but that might not necessarily be a good thing.

They're also completely ruthless and efficient about it - they'll do whatever position or stimulation you like best, nonstop, while the other one experiments around to find something different to add to it that you'll enjoy.

Your private encounters with either of them are mutual acts of lovemaking, or safe, sane, consensual engagements in kinks. This is a competition, and you are their game and their prize.

Lucifer prefers to make use of his hands - you can tell he is quite practiced, his control and refinement, plus his long pianist fingertips, make him excellent at finding every spot, applying just the right pressure, rubbing or stroking exactly the way you like.

Satan's not afraid to use his mouth - Lucifer quite prefers to leave his tongue free for dirty talk - and he knows how to use his tongue better than Lucifer.

When you watch him on his knees beneath you, staring straight up at your face with electric green eyes, licking and swirling his tongue against your arousal until your mind is reduced to mush -

A hint of that black, neon-tipped tail swishing behind him reveals just why Satan is so good with his tongue.

Wet and smooth and writhing against you, he never fails to disappoint, and because he never lacks for lubrication he can get you off much faster than Lucifer can.

But Lucifer has two hands, ones that exert more strength than Satan's tongue ever will. And he always does know the right thing to whisper into your ears to make you shudder and buck into him - or Satan's mouth.

It's a tradeoff between pressure and texture, and it's not as if they always stick to the same thing.

Satan's particularly prone to pulling out his cock, pressing up against you however you prefer while he hisses his own retorts to Lucifer's dirty words - whether it's about being your pet, fucking you, or making you cum your entire brains out, he'll always find the hottest way to insist he'd do it better.

Okay so I had an idea. Agatha x reader where they're both witches and not controlled by Wanda so they're undercover like agatha is in the show except they're wives. After Wanda has the twins agatha jokingly says something like "just imagine that being us" when seeing vis and wan looking after the twins or like "can't you wait until we have a kid/kids" sorta thing and r gets really nervous and starts acting kinda weird for a few days after. Agatha gets concerned something's wrong with r but isnt sure why but knows it started around about the same time Wanda gave birth and although she doesn't realise at first, especially after what agatha said. When she confronts r, r breaks down and starts crying because tehy really don't like the idea of having kids, not in the fact of they dont want to be pregnant or anything like that but they just hate the idea of being a parent at all even if the child was adopted. They've known this for a long time but never told Agatha because r was afraid she would be mad or not want to be with her anymore.

R tells Agatha and she says it's fine and has always been mutual on having kids like if she has them, great, if not also great. And then it ends with agatha consoling r and them just being cute. So basically a really fluffy ending. Sorry this is really long but I thought of it after a friend saying something about kids and that, like what I'm saying about r, I really don't like the idea of having kids. It just makes me really uncomfortable, not in a self doubt way or anything it's just really not my kind of thing. There's a good chance this probably goes completely against your thoughts but if you don't mind writing this I'd be really happy (but obviously okay if not) and I really like this idea in general. I love your writing, have a nice day (and again sorry this is so long).

It’s You and Me

Summary: Agatha comforts and reassures Y/N when it comes out that she doesn’t want kids.

As Agatha sat on her couch in her home in Westview, a spell book open on her lap, she couldn’t help but come to a certain realization she had been ignoring which was creeping up on her for the past couple hours: she couldn’t solve this problem with a spell. 

Agatha had been noticing that for the past couple of days, her girlfriend wasn’t exactly ting like herself. Y/N had cancelled the date they had planned, wasn’t answering her texts like she usually did, and hadn’t come over to her house since . . . 

That day when they were at Wanda and Vision’s! 

Agatha and Y/N hadn’t been that fond of the couple ever since they realized how Wanda was controlling the town, but they had to play their parts. They were there to visit Wanda and Vision’s children who Wanda had just given birth to . . . but nothing had happened that day, right? They spent the whole day together . . . nothing would happen that Agatha didn’t know about it. 

Unless she was the cause of it.

Agatha played the day over and over again in her mind, nitpicking at every moment, determined to find out what had caused this. She had to figure it out at some point . . . she was Y/N’s girlfriend after-all! 

The brunette blinked and then her eyes widened like a light bulb had went off above her head . . . 

“Ohhhhh! They’re adorable, Wanda! Makes me think when Y/N and I will have our own kiddos runnin’ around the place,” Agatha had exclaimed when they entered the house and saw the twins, not thinking much about her words.

The second those words left her lips only someone who knew her well would notice the shift in Y/N. She immediately became quiet, still playing her fake role but not as energetic as she had been. Y/N had a muttered a “Yeah!” and put a smile on her face, but as Agatha imagined her face in her head, she saw how the corners of her lips were being pulled and how the enthusiastic glint had left her eyes. That was it. That had to have bothered her. 

But why? Agatha couldn’t figure that one out, and she spent the next half hour running through all the possibilities, but couldn’t it narrow it down to just one that felt correct. So, she decided to go over to her girlfriend’s house and ask. 

Almost ten minutes later, Agatha had put on her coat and was now knocking on Y/N’s door. After a bit, it swung open and when Y/N saw her girlfriend, the fake smile on her face fell and she gripped the doorknob, resolving to her gloomy look. “Hi,” she said, shortly and quietly, mirroring her texts as she leaned against the doorway. 

“Can I come in?” Agatha asked, not wanting to have this conversation outside. 

Confusion swept across her face but nonetheless she nodded and stepped back, opening the door fully so Agatha could enter and walking into her house. Agatha took it upon herself to lock the door behind her and follow Y/N, them both sitting on her couch in awkward silence for nearly a minute, which felt like forever to Y/N and just a millisecond for Agatha. 

“Y/N, I’ve been thinking about why you’ve been acting so . . . off. I realized it was going on ever since we visited Wanda and Vision and I talked about kids,” Agatha began, clasping her hands together on her lap and watching Y/N carefully. 

Y/N stilled, immediately knowing that Agatha had figured it out. She let out a short breath, not needing her girlfriend to continue, and slumped her shoulders, holding her face in her hands. 

Agatha watched her for a moment, not expecting this reaction. When Y/N picked her head up and Agatha saw the tears starting to stream down her face, the witch went into worry mode and stood up from her seat to sit next to her love. 

“Darling, what’s the matter?” Agatha asked soothingly as she wrapped an arm around her girlfriend, pulling her close. 

Y/N sniffed, wiping her tears away. “It’s just - when I heard you say that . . . I got worried that you wanted kids. We haven’t really talked about it, but . . . honestly, I don’t want to have kids and I haven’t wanted them for a while. I just got scared that you did and that it would ruin our relationship,” she said, rushing some parts out. 

Agatha took this information in with a breath, feeling awful that Y/N had worked herself up over this. “Oh, hon. I’m okay with having kids and I’m perfectly okay with not having kids, I’m so sorry,” she said, pecking Y/N’s lips. 

Y/N thought and then nodded. “You sure?” She asked, not totally convinced. 

“Yes,” Agatha said, smiling. “Hey, you wanna watch a movie?” 

Y/N smiled, too, and nodded. Agatha stood up to get the remote and get Y/N’s favorite movie on the television while Y/N got blankets, wrapping it around them both when the brunette sat back down. 

“Are you sure you’re okay with not having kids?” Y/N asked again a couple minutes into the movie. 

“Yes,” Agatha answered again, not being able to help a chuckle. 

Y/N nodded, satisfied, and kissed her girlfriend, and then allowed herself to enjoy the movie, happy to have the worries about their relationship behind her.

ive been in a sick fic/hurt and comfort kinda mood lately but what do you think of the idea of early in their relationship where akira gets a fever and tries his best to hide it from goro but goro isn't falling for akiras "im 100% fine dont worry about me" act? how much pushing would it take for akira to drop the mask and let himself get taken care of for once in his life?

Well, Goro doesn't really accept bullshit from Akira, so if he truly thought there was something wrong, Akira's insistence wouldn't mean much. It's not like Goro would completely ignore his desires, but he would certainly start doing whatever he thinks is necessary. They have plans that day? Canceled. They're already out somewhere? Goro is bored and wants to go home. Akira wants to go out? Suddenly Goro really wants to hang out in the attic that day, and surely his boyfriend isn't going to leave him alone. Whatever conniving it takes to make Akira stay in his room. And every time Akira plays the 'i'm fine' card, Goro can counter with "I'm not doing this for you. I just happen to want to watch a movie/order soup/check our temperatures for fun." Akira would resist for a little while, but tbh he's never been good at hiding stuff from Goro, so he'd give in pretty quickly. It would still be awkward for both of them; Akira isn't used to being cared for and Goro isn't used to caring for people, but they figure it out. Akira would probably get a little anxious and overwhelmed, instinctively feeling like he's not allowed to do this, but that would fizzle out in the face of Goro's matter-of-fact approach. Goro isn't expecting anything from him, Goro is doing this as much for himself as for Akira, and realizing that would allow Akira to relax and let Goro take care of him. It's still not the BEST frame of mind, since Goro would be doing it even if he wasn't getting anything out of it, simply because he cares about Akira, but it's still early. They still have a ways to go. Within a year, Akira will feel totally empowered to be a huge baby with Goro every time he's sick lmao

Casey Valentine: About Her Future

A/N: This has been one hell of a ride! Talking about Casey and her life has been an amazing experience. There are many situations about her future that I haven't figured out yet, that's why I'm keeping things in a very limited timeframe (around 2 and maybe 3 years after the end of her residency). Thanks a lot to @openheartfanfics for organizing this event. I've had a blast!

Meet My MC || About Her Past || About Her Present

Casey has been leading the diagnostics team for over two years now. And things have changed a lot.

As soon as she assumed her new role, she was determined to make the team the core of a system that also involves the rest of the departments at Edenbrook. And she uses her friends for it.

Casey, Ines and Jackie are implementing a special program to evaluate interns and residents in order to discover outstanding doctors that may support the diagnostics team and other areas in the hospital after their boards. It follows a lot of the guidelines that Ethan used when they were interns, but it also gives selected residents an opportunity to assist the diagnostics team in some cases in order to improve their skills.

Elijah and Zaid became her go-to people when it comes to studies and reseach, especially in those cases where experimental treatments are the only option for patients.

Sienna quickly became a team favorite. As the best pediatrician at Edenbrook, every time the team receives a pediatric case, she is involved in the course of treatment of the patient. Casey is considering to offer her a permanent spot in the team.

Bryce's research skills when it comes to evaluate surgical options for patients are brilliant, so he frequently helps Harper by giving her second opinions on certain procedures. He also covers for her as member of the diagnostics team every time she's on leave.

When a patient needs rehab after some surgery, Rafael is the one in charge of the process. The results his patients achieve in their recovery are proof that he has all the profesionalism, the patience and the work ethics the team needs in their collaborators.

As per Baz and Ethan, Casey convinced them to keep collaborating with the team on an ocassional basis. They are one of the best immunologists and the best diagnostician in the country, so she needs their brains in her team, even if it's not permanently. They assist in the hardest and most enigmatic cases.

Despite all their efforts, the team can't accept every case they receive. And that's when Kenmore help is appreciated. A year ago, Tobias, Casey and Aurora developed a collaboration project between the diagnostics teams of both hospitals, which now allows both Edenbrook and Kenmore to help twice the amount of people they used to assist when they worked separately.

Of course, none of this would be possible without Ethan's help. As Chief of Medicine, he has the power to approve most of Casey's projects, so he's been making a very good use of a position that he wasn't convinced to accept at first. It's definitely been a win-win situation when it comes to team work between Dr. Ramsey and Dr. Valentine.

Despite of them being very private when it comes to their personal lives, there is no doubt that Casey and Ethan are relationship goals. If seeing them working together in the past was a delight, the way they've been ruling Edenbrook after becoming official has certainly helped them become the power couple the hospital needed.

Because you can definitely tell they're not only great partners, but also each other's best friend. Their nonverbal communication skills are at a whole different level and they certainly boost each other in a way you can tell they're the best thing that has ever happened to the other. They're in love and it shows.

That's why no one was surprised when, after 8 months of becoming official, they decided to move in together.

But everybody was surprised when Ethan proposed only a few months afterwards. Except for his dad and her brother (who were the only people who knew about his plans), literally no one saw it coming, not even Casey (because yes, Ethan has mastered the art of surprising her).

They almost canceled the wedding... twice. The stress of their jobs plus the chaos that involves planning a wedding was beginning to affect their wellbeing as individuals. It wasn't a big issue for any of them: Casey never cared about having a ring on her finger and they both knew that nothing about their relationship would change if they didn't sign a piece of paper, as they were certain they had sealed the deal a long time ago.

The thought of an elopement also crossed their minds... and right when they were about to do it, Sienna came up with a brilliant idea to save their original plan: a micro wedding, that took place 6 months ago.

These newlyweds like saying they have a family of four: Ethan's dad and Casey's brother are pretty much the only relatives they have, so they consider them part of their household. They even have their own rooms in their new home in Boston!

They'd both agree that getting used to wear a ring has probably been the hardest part of their marriage, even when they cared about buying bands that were "compatible" with their jobs. But they are pretty sure that if they take it off, they'll end up losing it, so they kind of gave up. They expect to get used to it over time.

When they're not at work, they love exploring all the hidden gems that Boston has to offer. They've found a bunch of great places thanks to Rafael's recommendations, but they have also discovered a lot of new places by themselves. That doesn't mean they don't enjoy a good date at home after an exhausting day at work or getting lost and disconnecting from the world for a full weekend without telling anyone where they are.

This philosophy of discovering new places also applies to their holidays. Sometimes they'd go to well-known places, but they both agree that their favorite trips are those where they visit underrated destinations. Of course, they also leave a few days to visit Alan in Providence and to go to Casey's home in Virginia.

Kids? They have talked about it, but they don't feel ready to take that step yet. Not only their jobs are very demanding, they both have some baggage they need to get rid of before thinking about becoming parents. They're not in a hurry though, they're convinced that everything happens for a reason... they are happy, and that's all that matters.

She may not live with them anymore, but the roomies (and the rest of the gang) are still incredibly close. Casey still has lunch with whoever is available almost every day, and they still have a booth with their names on it at Donahue's.

When Casey moved in with Ethan, they didn't search for a new roomie. With the exception of Sienna, they all were attendings, so it was easier for them fo afford Casey's part ot the rent. They decided to turn her room into an office they all use a lot.

And none of them has the intention to leave their apartment any time soon. Housing in Boston is incredibly expensive, and they know none of them could afford a place like the one they have by themselves. This also gives them a chance to get rid of their med school debt a little faster.

Jackie, Aurora, Sienna and Casey also host a "girls just want to have fun" event at the apartment whenever Elijah visits his parents. It's a bonding tradition they started during their residency and they have no intention to finish any time soon. Sometimes, Kyra (when she is in town), Ines and Angie join them as well.

Bryce is the person she relies on when she needs a brotherly figure. She can definitely see a lot of her brother on him, and he always seem to have the right answer to everything. He also had to get a bigger place, as Keiki returned to Boston after being accepted at Harvard. Casey and Jackie guided her to attend med school... and convinced her to become a diagnostician.

The gang never knows when Kyra is going to make some surprise visit. She's been travelling around the world for a long time now, but she's been back home a few times for special ocasions. The last time they saw her was for Casey and Ethan's wedding.

Sienna and Casey have been exchanging recipes for a while now. Casey can cook to survive, but Ethan takes cooking to a whole new level, so Sienna usually comes to the rescue when her bestie needs help.

Casey is also playing matchmaker between Sienna and Rafael. She has been observing the way they look at each other for a while, and she's convinced they would make the cutest couple ever. Because beautiful souls deserve to be together. So yeah, she most definitely will introduce Sienna and Rafael's vovo very soon with some "help me cook dinner" excuse.

What did you think and how are you doing? Expectations aside, what did you think about the episode?

Honestly, expectations aside I was actually a bit underwhelmed.

The stuff with Christopher and Eddie just took up way too much screentime, especially since... it wasn't even a sendoff. Like I would have accepted it as important if it was a sendoff, but it's not! They're sticking around, so why spend you midseason finale on a character that the general audience really doesn't care about.

But other than that, I legitimately liked it. That old lady was literally just 🥺🥺🥺, the two wives + one husband was HILARIOUS, and I love that the two of them made themselves into a family at the end.

BuckTaylor OWNED this episode, from baby's first Christmas to dorky gifts to the kiss... they were literally too precious! I also loved that Buck admitted that he's been feeling down because of how much he misses Maddie and Chim and Jee (and also probably Albert). Like he's genuinely happy in his relationship with Taylor, but he's not going to be truly joyful until his family returns. (Chin up, Buck! They're returning in 5b).

I also loved the Grant-Nash fam stuff. Bobby and Athena planning a huge extravaganza, and then when everybody canceled on them turning around and putting together a Christmas celebration for all those families who were displaced after that apartment collapse. It was literally SOOOO sweet!

Like the sum of its parts was extremely underwhelming, but most of the parts were legitimately SOOOOO good and I genuinely did like it.
