gulp... darlin hcs... this is kinda long... i use he/they pronouns here. hes a cis dude in my eyes i just type they out of instinct.

hes called julius

mexican-asian! (their dad is mexican, their mom is cambodian. they were born in mexico but moved to washington when their dad got a better job opportunity.)

his dad has a teardrop tattoo and one of those "cut here" tattoos on his neck. he's also blind in one eye

their mom is beautiful but #evil. she always had her nails painted dark red

julius' favourite colour is dark red

he got 4 siblings!! hes the middle.

their older sister was the typical 2000s teen girl. ik yall are envisioning the hairstyle im talking about. she also brags about how she loved leopard print before it got popular.

also shes a kesha lover. now she listens to chappell roan. she IS casual.

as an adult, their younger brother works with animals! their older sister has an online job and their older brother is a mechanic. their younger sister is in college and julius hates her bf. the one sided beef is crazy. theyve never even met in person.

he did boxing as a teen and his little sister used to do dance

ik more of the fandom wants them to have happy childhood BUT NOT ME!!!!!!1

BOOM UR PARENTS SUCK!!

their dad sold their wii for drug money (am i projecting)

their mom is worst than their dad muahahahahah

they had a saint bernard called Pooch growing up and a yappy little chihuahua that his mom loved. that dog also refused to die. like im talking this dog got attacked by a bigger dog and had a tumor and got hit by a car and survived. by the time the dog died it had a leg missing and was blind. the vet bills were crazy

even tho their parents were shitty, they could never bring themselves to hate them even though they wanted to. when either of them would pass out on the couch, he'd cover them with a blanket and clean the living room and kitchen. when his mom would be upset, he'd sit and listen to her even tho she never did the same to him

he doesnt talk to his parents now and he makes jokes about what he went thru to cope, but he wonders if they're doing okay, if they got healed and became better people or if they passed away and they never knew.

the bond they had with their unempowered friend was the same bond asher, david and milo have. his friend was called trevor.

julius was trevors first kiss because trevor complained about feeling like a loser since everyone started dating around their teen years LMFAO

their first concert was a metallica one that they went to with quinn

they worked as a waiter for a while as a teenager and had a work bestie that was like 40

guyliner...........

I STOLE THIS HC FROM A FIC IVE READ IF YOU FIND IT PLZ LMK SO I CAN CREDIT!! but they worked in a fighting ring at one point

my own add on to the same hc: during this time, they had a shitty little apartment and the most decorated space was a dresser dedicated to their fish, soda pop. that fish was spoiled as fuck and he cried when soda pop died

he frequented a diner to the point the lady behind the counter knew his order beat for beat

when they were teenagers, asher took inspo from their style. they used to wear those little black wrist bands with the little spikes (do yall know what im talking about) and thats where ashers love for his spiked collar came from

they do not have a single pair of blank socks. they all have some sort of stupid design on them

also ofc, the rubber duck, courtesy of domini.

they hate haircuts

they HATE the grocery store. they get overstimulated and wanna die immediately.

best meal theyve ever made for themselves is mac and cheese. from those little boxes.

aggro bit them one time and theyre still upset over it

TATTED AS FAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they have piercings GODDDD THEYRE SO FINE

they also have sharp canines (im bouta bust)

i know yall want asher to have heterochromia but i hc julius has it. HOWEVER! I hc asher has anisocoria (one pupil bigger than the other). they bond over having eye conditions

they also fell out of a tree in the middle of the woods one time and cracked their head open and broke their leg and had to limp home

the first ever scar he got was on his chin when he and his brother were pushing each other around (as brothers do) and julius fell and cut his chin open. its very faded now, but his brother brings it up somtimes

one time, out of boredome, he ran away from his brother at the store

his little sister would hide between clothes in the store and would need to be called for on the intercom

i have more. theyre my fav listener. all my hcs go to them.

The sight of yet another empty bottle left a sigh falling from your lips. You looked around the kitchen for a moment, a small pit of annoyance building in your stomach as your eyes landed back on the bottle. 

That was the fifth bottle this week. You stood for a moment thinking, you knew trying to talk to Dean when he was drunk was almost like talking to a brick wall. Even more so if what you wanted to talk to him about was his drinking. Walking towards your room you ran a hand through your hair a breath leaving your lips as you tried to push your annoyance down.

Pushing the door open another sigh left your lips. “Dean?” You shut the door before walking over to where he’d slumped over on the bed. Had the last hunt really been that bad? You were more than aware of your boyfriend's less-than-healthy drinking habits but this seemed worse than normal.

Normally he could at least function enough to get into bed but it looked like he’d passed out the moment he’d sat down. “Dean” You shook his arm again, this time a small groan left his lips as he frowned in his sleep. Shaking your head you leaned down and began untying his laces.

“This isn’t healthy.” You said through gritted teeth and you pulled one boot off. “I’m not your babysitter.” The annoyance you’d previously pushed down seemed to come back in an instant and you paused. 

Looking up from your hands you frowned. You knew what you were getting into when you went on that first date. You’d watched Dean fall further and further down a never-ending black hole for years and part of you believed that you’d be able to help him.

That maybe you could pull him back from the hole. But as time passed part of you began to wonder if maybe you were wrong. Your relationship was far from perfect and you both knew that. 

Pulling off his other boot you placed it beside you before standing and pushing his legs onto the bed. You watched him for a moment before moving to sit on the other side of the bed.

“Sweetheart?” Dean's voice was corse as he squinted up at the ceiling. He rubbed a hand across his head, a dull throbbing beginning to beat against his head. Casting a glance over your shoulder you said nothing before standing and walking over to your dresser. 

Dean groaned quietly moving to sit up. “Sweetheart.” he tried again, a small frown appearing on his lips when you stayed silent. “What's wrong?” He rubbed a hand across his face watching as you turned to face him.

“What's wrong?” You said quietly. “What’s wrong is that you got so drunk that you barely made it into bed!” You crossed your arms sending him a harsh glare as you spoke.

“This isn’t healthy Dean!” 

He watched you for a moment before looking down at his hands. You knew his hangover was most likely kicking in but even through that haze he still managed to look slightly remorseful. 

You were both quiet for a moment before you walked over to his side of the bed. Dean gently grasped your arm before pulling you down into his chest. He ran a hand through your hair before pressing a kiss to your head.

“M’sorry.” He mumbled into your hair. “You always say that.” You said quietly. You felt his grip tighten slightly before he let out a sigh. “I mean it okay.” He loosened his grip enough for you to sit up. His hand cupped your cheek, his thumb brushing small circles. “I promise.” He smiled.

Before you could respond he leaned down pressing his lips against yours silencing the words on your tongue.

You knew his promise would only last a few days. You’d had the conversation countless times and it always ended the same. He promised you he’d get help or stop only for the cycle to begin again a few weeks later.

A small sigh left your lips as he rested his forehead against yours. 

You knew the healthy option would be to leave. Maybe leaving would give him the kick he needed to fully get help but you could never bring yourself to do it.

He was like a drug you couldn’t stop no matter how many times you tried. You loved Dean, you really did and you wanted to help him. Hell, a few months ago you’d been optimistic that you could but part of you wondered now if that was just an optimistic dream.

Hi there!

I first of all wanted to start off by saying that I’m absolutely obsessed with your work- it’s amazing!!

Secondly, I was wondering if I could make a request?

Can I request a tangerine x reader where they’re out at a bar or something and there’s this guy being really pervy and creepy and just won’t leave her alone?

Obviously the reader can handle herself but they just got back from a long and tiring mission, and she quite honestly doesn’t have the energy.

So of course tan comes to the rescue 🤭🤭

I hope this is okay, and if not please feel free to ignore this!!

Have a wonderful day love and don’t forget to drink lots of water <33

heey!! i really appreciate the kind words, it keeps me going! i hope you've had a good day/night and if not tm will be better! and i hope u enjoy this!

a/n: im drawing inspo from something that happened to me one time at a bar which will be the reason tan steps in here but of course tangerine was not there to save me although that would've been lovely

"just one pint! two, two! i swear and then we all can leave," lemon pleaded, "we can leave the second i finish it. i'll even take the last sip on the way out the door," he tried enticing you, rubbing his shoulder up and down against yours.

"i reek, lemon. and tangerine looks like he nose dived into green and purple paint," you grimaced slightly at the bruises forming on tan's face.

lemon grabbed your wrist dragging you closer to the bar doors, "is it even a real bar if at least ten people don't smell awful and your shoes don't stick to the floor?"

the color of your eyes disappeared into the back of your head, "let's go."

lemon did a little victory dance before swinging the door open which tangerine held for you to walk in. the fatigue was riddled on both of your faces. the three of you had just gotten back into town after a long and very successful mission. you were all for celebrating but tonight you'd rather celebrate with a burning hot shower.

"you 'right by yourself? i'm going to head to the balcony for a few," tangerine asked, waving his pack of cigarettes in the air.

"yeah go for it, i'll manage," you replied. tangerine gave you a small nod before turning his back and sliding outside.

the inside of the bar was packed and you were shuffling around with your shoulders pulled in to try and avoid hitting people. it was loud, smelly, and yes, the floors were grossly sticky. it only annoyed you more, but, you tried having a positive attitude about it. 'two drinks' is all you kept telling yourself. after what felt like years you made it to the bar. you were sandwiched against a girl with blonde hair and a guy who weaseled his way in between you and an older gentleman. you could feel his eyes burning holes in the side of your head and the last thing you wanted to do was look over, but, it was becoming too much.

"hi!" he nearly yelled as you glanced over quickly.

"hey," you said curtly, bringing your lips into a straight line.

"i'm craig. what's your name?" he asked leaning in closer to you. you gave him your name, refusing to look back at him as you felt his eyes examine you. the drink you ordered appeared in front of you and you scribbled your name on the receipt.

"what's that you're drinking?" craig asked but you pretended not to hear him as you slinked into the crowd, hoping to lose him.

it worked for a while, you found some space near a wall to stand. there was a group of girls next to you singing loudly and dancing around. you couldn't lie and say it wasn't infectious as one of the drunk girls grabbed your hand and started dancing with you, which of course you joined in. it was fun and it kept your mind off how tired your body was.

"thought i lost you there!" you flinched away, startled, by craig's nervous laughter beside you. you looked down at the man who stood inches below you and gave him an award-winning fake smile.

"you're very pretty," he said puffing his chest out slightly.

"thanks."

"you don't talk much, eh? is it because you're nervous around me?" craig asked his eyes looking down at your legs.

"just tired!" you exclaimed with fake enthusiasm, gulping down the tequila in your cup.

"you seem a bit lonely, are you by yourself tonight?" he persisted, inching closer to you with each word despite you stepping to the side each time.

"nope!" you retorted, popping the 'p' and turning to find the bathroom.

you stayed in the bathroom for a few minutes and finished your drink. the eyebags seemed to protrude out of your face as you examined them in the mirror. now, lemon had to almost be done with his drinks. that man can pound drinks back. so, with high hopes you left the bathroom to go find a seat at the bar and wait until lemon found or texted you or hopefully tangerine was done smoking.

there was a vacant stool in the dead center which you jumped on. your elbow rested against the bar, head in hand, absentmindedly watching the tv in the corner. it was a boxing match that you had zero interest in but it provided enough entertainment. you shut your eyes tight as you felt the familiar, unwelcomed, presence over your shoulder.

"look, i think you are really pretty. hotter than anyone else here and look at me. any girl would want me and the fact you're trying to play hard to get is starting to really piss me off," craig ranted but you refused to turn your head and pretended like the noise of the bar drowned his voice out.

"you're right, i'm sorry. that was rude of me, i apologize. i just noticed you the moment you walked into the bar and i needed to talk to you. you're really beautiful and i know i'd treat you right. whoever you're dating must not be treating you right because i can feel that you want me."

tangerine blew out one last cloud of smoke and tossed his cigarette into the ashtray. it was far more peaceful outside but he knew he had to go in and find lemon, who he knew was more than two drinks in and probably friends with ten more people. tangerine opened the door back into the bar and scanned the room. that's when he saw a man with his hand on your throat.

you ignored craig's presence until you no longer could. he was silent for a few moments after his rant. suddenly, you saw a hand snake into your field of vision and you felt his hand pressing firmly against your throat. you were shocked for a moment before realizing what was going on. craig's thumb and middle finger were applying harsh pressure to your throat making it hard to breathe. then, you felt the pressure shift in his hand from choking to pushing. craig pulled you to the ground by your throat, your body flying backward off the stool and slamming into the floor.

you saw a figure jump over your body and loud commotion next to you but you were too disorientated at the moment from the wind being knocked out of you. one of the bartenders leaped over the bar and pulled you up and shielded you from the commotion. that's when you realized it was tangerine who had hopped over and started beating craig to the floor. it was like a scene straight out of the boxing match you were just watching. tangerine towered over craig in height and build and the anger in his face was terrifying.

tangerine was throwing the smaller man across the bar with punches. he'd punch craig in the face to which he stumbled and then tangerine would trip him. his body would fall to the ground and tangerine would pick him up by the shirt before launching him into the now vacant stools.

"please!" craig pleaded, blood running from his eyebrow. tangerine grabbed the back of his neck and slammed his face into the bar.

"you like hurting women? huh?" he screamed, "you think you're so tough, look at you now! fuckin' pathetic piece of shit. what? it's not fun being picked on and harassed?"

tangerine was raging. his face and chest were red with anger and the vein in his forehead pulsated. he had wild eyes similar to when he was on a mission. you watched as he slipped his hand into his pants pocket, slipping on his brass knuckles. before he was able to crush the bastard's nose lemon swooped in from behind and grabbed tangerine's bicep. the bouncers from outside grabbed craig by the neck of his shirt and kicked his bloody body out of the bar. lemon's hands were on tangerine's shoulders trying to calm his brother down. finally, tangerine's chest rose and fell at a normal pace and he turned his head and noticed you. lemon released his shoulders letting him walk to you.

tangerine cupped your face and craned his neck down a bit, "are you alright love?"

you laughed slightly uncomfortable that a big scene was made because of you, "yeah... just shocked really."

"did he hurt you in any other way?" he asked with softness.

"no. no... i didn't think it would turn into that. he had been bothering me the whole time i should've been more forceful but i was just too tired to really care," you sighed.

"no," tangerine said sternly, now eye level with you, "none of this is your fault, okay? that prick should know better than to continue to harass someone who is clearly not accepting their advances. and the fact he fuckin' put his hands on you. fuck i'll..." tangerine gritted his teeth now standing upright and looking towards the door craig was kicked out of.

"tan! no. you getting arrested is not worth it. i'm okay, okay? he got what he deserved and i really don't want to be here any longer," you pleaded, grabbing onto his forearm to force him to look at you.

tangerine caressed your head, his eyes filled with a mixture of sorrow and anger. tangerine guided you outside and when the door shut he pulled you into a tight but gentle hug, mindful of your back.

"i'm so fuckin' sorry love. i should've stayed with you the whole night," he whispered into your hair.

you pulled back from the hug, "mmm no, hey, hey- that's not what we are going to do. you have nothing to be sorry for and i'm thankful for you and not just now when you beat dickheads up for me, but always."

Hello! I hope im doing this right hehe,,,

Can i request for a Lyney x fempainter!reader who's also a tsundere? Reader also has a soft spot for flowers :3 tysm in advanced!!!!

ANYWAYS. IVE been wanting to feed The lyney x reader tag cause I love my husband. thank u for the req btw !!

sorry if I made the reader a bit like,,, too much (??) my bad if I did

“Roses for you!”

TAGS: fluff ! CHARACTERS: Lyney, Rosseland, Mentions of Charlotte,

Poof

you were painting peacefully, while Lyney was out on a mission. Lately you had been running out of inspiration, so sometimes you would get his cat Rosseland to pose for you.

“guess who~”

Someone covered your eyes, appearing out of nowhere.

“you’re back early” you smiled, before the man who appeared behind you covered your eyes tighter

“You didn’t guess”

“ugh you- I mean my wonderful and amazing boyfriend, the one and only, the greatest man in Teyvat, Lyney!” You said sarcastically, Lyney chuckled as he felt you rolling your eyes.

“oh come on now! Don’t you want to see something cool?” “look Lyney- I’m- ah rosseland no go back!” you felt the cat rub against your leg, you got tickled a bit.

lyney chuckled at the sight, pressing a kiss to the back of your neck, causing you to get tickled more

“ah-lyney” you laughed “stop!!”

He chuckled before letting go of your eyes

“tada!”

and just like that, your canvas was gone. “hey where did you-“

when you looked back, you saw him holding a bouquet of rainbow roses. You blushed

“why did you…”

“you said you were running out of inspo right?”

you nod

“and you know how I’ve been in a lot of missions lately right?”

you nod

“well I.. charlotte told me in a mission that rainbow roses signify romance and passion. And well… I got reminded of you”

you blushed, averting your gaze

“they’re fresh too! I Just picked them”

he smiled, sitting on a chair behind you and hugging you from behind.

“wait..picked them?”

“mmhm, I grew them myself.”

you were shocked, you didn’t even know that he had been growing flowers for you.

“just like my love has grown for you”

AND THAT WAS IT. That was the last straw, at this point you were a flustered mess and you didn’t know how to thank him. Let alone even look at him.

“Tsk…you shouldn’t have-“

“No- no buts! I wanted to, I love you”

he smiled, holding your chin to make you face him. He laughed, “my you’re so cute like this!” “shh!!” You crossed your arms, as your lover planted a kiss on your lips.

He moved the chair next to you and with a snap, the canvas re appeared and the roses in a vase in front of it

“can I Watch?”

you nod, and he lays his head on your shoulder as you start to sketch.

“your art is so pretty… I’ll never understand how you do it so well…” he mumbled as Rosseland hops into his lap. and just nuzzles against him a lot.

“I think rosseland agrees as well” he smiles. Looking up to see you for a bit

“still speechless Mon ange?” He chuckled, wrapping an arm around your waist.

“I love you”

A/B: aaaaand that’s a wrap. I might draw this honestly HAHAHAHAH sorry it’s kinda short, I just kinda did whatever here. Also sorry if the French terms of endearments are wrong, I just searched it up. Anyways mon Ange is my Angel :>>> I had fun writing this WAAH I love Lyney so much (this is my second lyney post of the day…) btw, good luck on your art journey !!

𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎:Miles trys to be a gentleman and get you some flowers but it turned out wrong.

𝐀/𝐍: Love me some pintrest inspo

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆: Fluff , Comedic ,Cute

“So dad , im trying to impress this girl at my school and what should i get her “ Miles asks his dad who was on the phone as he lays out the accessories and shoes with his uniform.

Ganke interfears with the private conversation between miles and his dad

“i mean if were being honest , just get the girl some nice flowers , maybe choclate“ Ganke told miles , miles had gave him a nod.

“Whos the girl?“ Miles dad had asked him

“Please don’t be the emo“ Jeff had previously told his thoughts on the “gwenda“ girl miles had introduced him to.

Let’s just say Jeff was not a fan of her

“No dad , its this girl at y/n” he says as he starts have a smile cross his face

“So you have upgraded from the emo?” Jeff asked

“Yes dad , and I’m going to ask her out with some flowers , I’ll get them before school starts” Miles says all excited

“Alright tell me how it goes , call you later” Jeff tells miles

“Alright dad, I love you” he tells his dad

“Love you more” Jeff produced to hang up the phone after the quick statement

“Miles what her favorite color” Ganke asks

“It’s purple, and I’m going to get her some purple flowers “ he smiles , and they continue to talk until it was the next day

Miles had barely got sleep from the night before sense he was so excited to ask you out.

He woke up early and swiftly trying not to wake ganke up.

Miles would put on his Spiderman suit and sneak out the window. He would than swing to the nearest pick-and-save to get flowers and a donut for a quick snack

He would find where the bouquets where. He started to pick and pick the different purple flowers until he found the “center” of the bouquet.

He would also get plant seeds he thought would be cute for a date idea.

He would self checkout all the flowers and seeds he got for you.

Than he left the store with smiles ready to ask you out.

He went back to his dorm to form the bouquet all together

Ganke had already left the dorm

Miles had just finished the bouquet and made his way to his first hour.(The class he had with you)

He made you a basket full of purple snacks, the bouquet, and lastly the lavender seeds.

He walked into the class and he saw you looking gorgeous like you do every day. You could tell he was visibly hiding something behind his back

“So Y/n I'm a little nervous but I was wondering if tomorrow you would want to plant lavender with me,” He said as he shows the gift basket and places it on the table in front of her

“Yes I would love to and you know that's lettuce right “ you say as you point to the “center” of the bouquet

“You know Thats lettuce right” you say as you point to the “center” of the bouquet

“It is I thought it was by the vegetables because it needed more water”

“No miles that’s lettuce” you tell him and laugh

“Well do you like the flowers”

“Yes I do , but miles you tried”

Oh my goodness I just had to say I really love your fem Jazz she's so gorgeous I literally get so excited whenever I see her kicking my feet in the air help me..😭💖💖 I saw your previous post about fem Prowl and was wondering where you got ideas for visualising fem Jazz too!! :> Anyways love your work they are truly a blessing 🥹🥹

aahgh thank you so much!! <3 me too fr i'm the one drawing them and i'm like hunched over my tablet face in my hands grinning madly twirling my hair with my pen like nuts absolutely nuts

sorry this answer got really long,, i get asked about my favourite fictional guys or my art process and i just like schwoomph every time

for prowl my instinct was just straight up put her in a uniform ,, hair pinned + gelled back, low bun above the collar and held in a net etc etc and that made decisions like giving her thick shoulders and a gorgeous cold stare a lot easier!!! but i struggled more with jazz because of.jazz's whole character ykyk

jazz was one of the first tf characters i started noodling with a bishoujo design for, so initially i used the kotobukiya designs as a general style guide along with loose vibes combining spy + dancer, with a healthy amount of "how do i make her more cool + hot"

so so so i dug through pinterest a lot while looking for refs/inspo and felt my love for pretty girls growing by the second T~T

for the hair though,,, i tampered around a little trying to decide between buns and braids and such but i think now i'll mostly stick with giving jazz the undercut + dreadlocks?? i can finagle some cool shapes from it tied up, feels like it fits the effortlessly collected vibe that jazz would have, and since the hair doesn't cover the neck, i can give her that type of black turtleneck collar because it's.like . i just have to

^^ literally just crusty scribbles on bits of scrap paper many months ago ;w;

since then i've decided on more little things like .super strong muscled dancers legs + thighs that can and have killed + nails trimmed short + calloused finger pads + catlike flexibility but im largely dooming myself bc i cant show all of those things even if i'm drawing them in a more realistic style and im so.hhdgfhdj

i'm still mostly messing with outfits as i go, though, so. thats why theyre different in every drawing but i'm generally trying to keep a similar feeling between them :,D

[changewingwentz]

This took a week but here it is vessel wears a kimono specifically for spring-autumn season :D!

It looks plain at first but you’ll see tentacles on the shoulders if the lightings juuust right

Watch as I ramble (too long abt the design) here’s another version without the Haori !

5 days from a family trip suddenly falling ill for ii days as I’m writing this, wanted to give up after thinking “man it kinda looks ass now” or looking at it too long but I’m too stubborn for my own good lol

Randomly remembered a YouTuber Im following already has a vid abt male kimonos so this is where the inspo started !

I use red, black, blue, yellow(gold) undertones trying my best to make it as close to the color palette of the band aesthetic as possible also I associate blue with Ves a lot haha, the spine probs came from the tomb brainrot, you can’t see it but the end of the sleeves has waves representing the track visuals, and cylcamen attached as a reference from @/chrishardy.design 's post from ig months ago after looking up the meaning both floral language& Hanakotoba , I gotta include it in someway…

The Haori-himo ( the string attached) has 12 beads representing how each 3 albums has 12 tracks, like the 3 blue diamonds (also ascensionism reference for fun) jokingly it can represent his bandmates cuz they all got blue eyes idk, originally it’s supposed to have the runes spelling out “worship” but felt like I’m adding too much besides male kimonos have pretty simple designs and I’m trying my best not to go maxilism grind mode in every character design:p

Oh yeah if you’re wondering abt the scarf it’s here!

alright that’s all! it was fun but I’m finally done whew😭🗣

traveling

really loves traveling with you, especially for really long periods of time

you guys have probably been to the 7 wonders at least 10 times already, maybe even more!

loves gifting you cheesy souvenirs, even if its not quite your thing

defs spoils you whenever you're out, be it at a convenience store or while you're visiting paris

living together

fridge magnets. tons and tons of fridge magnets. he has a bit of a collection going on

would probably prefer somewhere like an apartment rather than a regular house; wants to get what he can out of that public pool

movie nights and dinner together every friday!! both of you two can get caught up in your work, so it's nice to reconvene and catch up before the weekend

tells you stories about his sisters as you drift to sleep in your cozy, shared bed

dates

he's really versatile when it comes to dates, one day it could be out to a classy italian place, the next it could be roller rinking!

he really doesn't mind too much, so long as you like wherever you two are going

always gets dolled up for you, wearing special cologne bought all the way from New Delhi

insists on paying. every single time!!! whether the gesture is sweet or annoyingly confident is up to you

prioritizes you having fun. if you don't like where you guys are, he'll gladly take you somewhere else, or just take you home, if you want

meeting his family

OH BOY

his sisters are loud and rowdy, even those closer to adulthood

the little ones ogle you like you're some sort of new animal at the zoo (a pretty one, ofc)

the older ones are yapping on and on about how "a pretty girl like you seriously likes our brother? how odd.."

his parents are so busy cooking for everyone that they can't keep track of all the conversation

rantaro has to awkwardly steer you away to his mom, who was busy grilling at least 20 hot dogs

it's loud, but in a charming sort of way

his dad asks when the wedding is, and you kind of just have to sit there awkwardly

[idea] the spiteful fake dating au

inspo from this post [click here]

obligatory tag (im an attention whore and therefore i summon thee): @lithi @hwang-lucas

tl;dr if you dont wanna click on the link:

"i know we could half-ass it, but i would never fake mistreat my fake husband, how dare you" which reads like athy to me

and

"my baby cousins are probably screwed when it comes to their chances of turning out normal, but I’d like them to have one healthy example in their life" which can pass as a caring uncle lucas

.

the setting and my Vision:

modern au, lucathy are probably mid-20s or early 30s im thinking??? maybe kinda like the ons/fwb au where athy's like. 28 and lucas is gonna be 30

so as the lines i've quoted state, lucas is gonna be a caring uncle whose brothers have shit show marriages. a train wreck and not gonna be healthy at all (oldest has a falling apart 15 year marriage and kids were their solution of slapping tape on the problems; youngest has a hateful wife and is a doormat probably; i need a reminder on whether or not lucas is the youngest but im gonna treat him as the middle bro atm cause its the Vibes).

and yeah, he wants Nothing^tm to do with his family, but his nieces and nephews deserve to see a healthy relationship to have as an example and damn does he hate his in-laws more than his actual family

so he asks athy to be his fake wife

(i feel like it'd be funny if they signed a marriage certificate just in case lucas deals with paranoid family (when really he's just paranoid and athy's an overthinker who HELPED him get paranoid at the thought), then they got drunk, and accidentally submitted the paperwork and just straight up forgot

"wdym you guys ACTUALLY filed the paperwork?????????" -- helena probs

"oh shit does that mean we got married fr???" -- athy, before the panic settles in

it becomes an inside joke among their friends after the panic of it wears off because now they're pretty much committed to the bit for the sake of lucas' nieces and nephews so now there are jokes about "where's your wife/husband" and "" etc etc)

athy's gonna constantly overthink it (and desperately trying to avoid ever mentioning it to her parents because her mom would be so disappointed that there wasnt a wedding and claude might kill lucas if he makes athy cry)

plus she's 100% gonna be ready to fite lucas's shitty relatives if they say something bad about him

side note: diana 100% thinks that lucas is athy's long-time bf so she's always joking with claude that lucas is finally gonna drop down on one knee any day now and claude, being a super big grump, is just "at least its not that alpheus kid"

little do they know that lucas became a legit in-law (although they still invite him for family dinners, and when its mentioned that athy's parents treat him as family, lucas's parents and grandparents take that as a CHALLENGE)

athy being petty by having a sickeningly sweet relationship and talking about how wonderful lucas is as a husband and partner because of how much she just straight up hates one of the sister in-laws

i'm self-indulgent, so i'm gonna have the classic "my sister in-law tried to sleep with my husband" stories

also idk if its just me but when it comes to fake dating aus (which i'm a SUCKER for) i think its a++++++++ when one of them casually goes "yknow if we were actually doing this for realsies, we'd probably be making out in a closet rn" and the other person sweating cause that sounds infinitely better than what they're doing rn

ALSO

the casual "oh yeah athy's crazy about that kinda shit" or "lucas would absolutely hate that lmao" and just FLEXING on everyone about how good of a partner they are to the other

and lucas, who originally suggested that they don't have to do any lovey-dovey stuff and that they can just be the same as always, ends up getting a fuming athy who more or less goes "my REPUTATION would be at stake if people found out that we broke up just because i wasn't being a loving and caring partner, so hell no!!!!!"

aksulifdfhbjdkshf i'm running on like,,,,,,, 5 hours of sleep and havent slept in like,,,,, 17 hours now

so i'm just gonna leave this unedited all-over-the-place mess here

[aihaitahm]

Hii!! I saw in one of ur fics you might be busy so if you can do this request please do it at anytime you can!

I was wondering if you could do headcanons of Jing Yuan and Gepard with a s/o reader who has fox physiology (like all attributes of a fox including a very fluffy tail/ears) and maybe their powers revolve around like spirits?

jing yuan + gepard with a foxian s/o!

hiii my inbox will stay open bc its empty rn. im open for more suggestions/some requests but m really busy im abtbto move out too apologies T_T

took inspo from chongyun from genshin hope thats okay !!

jing yuan

being friends with ting yun, you always visited your cheerful foxian duo. unlike her, you were more calm and collected due to the fact you work with good spirits and you exorcise bad ones. you both are very close and would often talk about anything. that includes anything about jing yuan.

your friend notices how your eyes glow in curiousity whenever the general was the topic of your conversation and how you become flustered every time you talk to him. she would often tease you about him every after interaction you and jing yuan have. you cannot hide anything from her. she purposely leaves you both alone on purpose and would talk to him about you in a good way.

jing yuan praises you for your work and wont hesitate to always compliment you. every day his gaze on you lingers longer than he realizes, that was until yanqing pointed it out. jing yuan just laughs but he doesnt say anything or deny anything. from your attractiveness to your foxian attributes to your smile and aura, you got him obsessed.

jing yuan starts asking about you a lot more to whoever is in his room. may it be ting yun or yanqing or yukong, he is always asking questions like ‘where is (name) or ‘how is (name)’ when literally he just saw you.

he likes your company a lot and could listen to you all day about your adventures when exorcising different spirits. he finds it fascinating that bad spirits wouldnt even want to be around you but you seem to attract the best spirits that can guide you.

it was the snoozing general that confessed to your calm foxian self and you were glad he likes you too. everyone was joyful especially the master diviner because jing yuan wouldnt shut up about you and he can finally finish some work.

nap times with him is so cute. he would literally hug you like a teddy bear and he would want to feel your ears under his chin while you wrap your tail around him. he understands that those parts maybe sensitive (however you wanna interpret it) and would always ask your permission first.

gepard

you came to belobog since it was your mission to be there with the astral express crew. fast forward to when things settled down, you have been eyeing on the cute silvermane guard aka captain gepard and would always or somehow manage to pull pranks on him so that he could pay attention to you and reprimand you.

gepard thinks youre a handful but whenever he interacts with you, he feels so fuzzy on his tummy and red becomes visible on his pale cheeks. he keeps wondering why you keep pulling small little pranks on him and only him. he asks serval for some advice and all she could do was laugh on how adorable you both are as she proceeds to give him some of her insights.

that was until the astral trio asked you questions on why even pull pranks on poor little captain. you kept dodging their questions but dan heng came to the conclusion that you like gepard a lot but you dont know how to tell him so you do small pranks that are enough for him to say something to you.

at the sudden conclusion of your friend, you fell silent and became flustered obviously annoyed that your secret was revealed. but its true and theres no denying it. march 7th keeps asking you question while trailbrazer was telling you what to do to confess. you sighed as you looked at dan heng’s apologetic face.

after a few days of your discussion with them, you decided it is best to avoid gepard at all costs. unironically, you bump into him almost all the time during your time in belobog. instead of interacting with him with your usually boastful sly front, he was met with a shy foxian gaze.

he asked you if you were alright since he hasnt seen you but after a long awful silence you were blunt enough to confess and say your feelings are too strong for him.

he was shocked but he agreed because he also admires you for your unique abilities and features and because he really really likes you. (literallh like a high school girl) he would ask you questions about your tail or ears or anything about spirits. he likes that he can look out for you physically and defend you while you protect him from bad and evil spirits.

he loves your slyness and your intuitive approaches in life. quite the opposite of him and it makes him love you a lot more. you both compliment each other and he respects you a lot and would often praise you for being you.

i feel like he is ticklish… tickle him with your tail and his laughter will erupt !!!! he’s ticklish in his armpits or hips. loves to lay on your tail if you allow it and would scratch your ears. you would get mad at him if he stops.

[stephaniepriscillart]

hi, im curious but do you have any artists you have inspiration from? your art is very eye catching and im wondering where u kinda got all ur style n stuff

Hello there! I have alot of artists inspo. My top fav are Satoshi Kon, Asano Inio, and Ai Yazawa. I also admire Little Thunder and most of all I always love to look back on the 90-2000s anime and observe the way they use colour, highlight, and shadow to make it pop :D

[acroagoraphobe]

How would the FNV and/or FO4 companions react to having a slice of cheese thrown at their faces?

Im gonna do FNV for now because thats what I got inspo for! (SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG I FORGOT IT WA SIN DRAFTS)

Boone:

Goes into combat mode because he thinks he's being attacked.

Once he realizes its just the Courier being a shit, he calms down.

Ed-e:

"Beep?"

Confused as all heck.

why did you cheese the orb?

Veronica:

"What did ya do that for? Free food I guess heheh."

(She would probably slap people with cheese in return Cuz shes silly like that.)

Arcade:

"What the-" "Okay uh thanks I guess? Is this a gift or?-"

Annoyed definitely, but mostly confused.

Where did you even get the cheese from? He wonders. Because like... Its a pre-war slice of cheese that should have gone bad forever ago and- There Arcade goes on an infodump.

Rex:

"Bark?"

Doesnt get it but, yum cheese!

Struggles to reach the cheese to get it off so you have to pull it off of the poor dog.

Lily:

"Pumpkin, is this what the kids do these days? Good thing you're having fun!"

Doesn't really mind that much, just happy her little pumpkin is having fun.

Forgets the cheese is still there and it has to be removed by someone around her

Cass:

"What the fuck."

Shes gonna beat the shit outta you.

Be ready

Raul:

Big sigh, shakes his head. "Boss, just why?"

Confused and dissapointed.

Immediately removes cheese and throws it away ):

Hi I love your writing so much. This is my first time requesting something. So I was wondering if you can do a angst turned fluff story with brothers best friend with Wonwoo. Maybe some inspo with the song born to late by the poni- tails.

BORN TOO LATE

Summary: You'd always believed your relationship with Jeon Wonwoo was nothing but neutral. In your heart, it was anything but. In your mind, however, you'd convinced yourself that you had been born too late. What if you were wrong?

Genre: Angst, fluff

Pairing: Wonwoo x afab!reader (ft. Jeonghan, tiny bit of mingyu x reader, and a little bit of Wonwoo x oc)

WC: 2,085

WARNINGS UNDER CUT

Warnings: Hurt comfort, it's supposed to be angsty but it really isn't tbh, small argument, Wonwoo is stupid actually, Mingyu potentially in the same situation as reader (rip gyu actually), lil bit of language, little bit of kiss kiss

A/N: This request was sent in literally in May but i couldn't find any inspiration so ANON IM GENUINELY SO SORRY I SWEAR I FEEL SO BAD I REALLY DO

Listen to Born Too Late by The Poni-Tails

Your relationship with Jeon Wonwoo, had always been nothing but neutral. A brief “hi”, maybe a nod in passing. He’d never cared for you, and you’d never cared for him. 

At least that was what you told him. And your brother, Jeonghan. And your family. Maybe your friends too. Definitely yourself, though. You definitely never let yourself believe you’d fallen for your older brother’s best friend. His shockingly beautiful, smart, funny, and really hot best friend.  

It wasn’t so much that you hated having these feelings for them. In fact, at first, you’d been willing to give it a shot. At first, you’d accepted the burning feeling in your chest every time you saw Wonwoo. Not pleased, but what can you do? It wasn’t like you could control your feelings.  

But then weeks passed. Then months. Then maybe a year or two of you doing nothing but watching Wonwoo waltz around Seoul with a different girl on his arm every time you saw him. Heartbroken and misty eyed, you would return to your apartment every time wondering where you went wrong. Wondering why he never looked at you the way he looked at those girls.  

Neutrality became the new look you wore whenever he and Jeonghan invaded your apartment. You wonder if he ever questioned it (read: he did. All the time, actually, but he never told you that), ever questioned why you’d suddenly become cold to him.  

Truth be told, you wondered it all the time.  

~ 

“Do you think Wonwoo would like this?” A girl stands next to you. Wonwoo’s girl, to be exact. Eunkyung is her name, you think. Or maybe it’s Eunjae. You don’t necessarily remember. She holds a sweater out in front of her, and you reach out to feel it. The material is scratchy, the colors absolutely horrendous. You’d feel bad if you told her it was good.  

“I think the material is too scratchy for him. Jeonghan, what do you think?” You drag your brother over, forcing him between you and the girl. He shoots you a look, and you shrug. His turn to play babysitter, you think to yourself. You’d been doing it all day, much to your dismay. Why Wonwoo couldn’t take care of his own girlfriend was beyond you. Why he simply dumped her on you and disappeared drove you absolutely insane.  

A hand on your lower back, warm and unexpected. You jump, goosebumps rising on your skin. Wonwoo stands beside you, and his hand lowers back down to his side.  

“Where were you?” You ask. 

“Around.” He shakes the bag in his hand, “wanted to get some stuff for Eunkyung.” So that was her name.  

“So sweet,” you roll your eyes and step away from him. Wonwoofrowns, his eyebrows knitting together. You hear him inhale and start to say something.  

"Woo!” Eunkyung jumps in front of her lover, and you ignore the pang in your chest. You ignore the way Wonwoo’s eyes linger on you for just a second too long before he turns to look at his girlfriend. “Look what I got for you!” 

“That’s...great, Eunnie.” You hear the hesitation in his voice, watch him grab the scratchy sweater. “I can’t wait to wear it.”  

You scoff, and Jeonghan looks at you again.  

“You don’t have to be jealous all the time.”  

“Jealous of what?”  

He shrugs. “I dunno. You’re always grumpy when Eunkyung is around. Figured you were jealous that Wonwoo was paying attention to her and not you for once.”  

For a moment, your brain stalls. You stumble our your words, sputtering and near choking on spit.  

“What the hell are you talking about?” Jeonghan spits out a laugh and shakes his head. 

“There’s no way you don’t notice, dude. It’s honestly so annoying that he only ever pays attention to you. Makes it so easy to bribe him, though.” Your brother, jams his elbow into your side after he says this, marching away to tear the sweater out of Wonwoo’s hands. Eunkyung practically screeches at this, begging your older brother to give it back, that it wasn’t his and that it was a gift to her Won-Won.  

~ 

“A date.” Wonwoo’s eyes trail after you as you pace the span of your living room. He and Jeonghan sit on your couch, gaming controllers in hand but their match in Mario Kart remaining paused as they both stare at you. Your brother sits there, body slumped forward and his jaw slack. Wonwoo, on the other hand, is more tense than you’d ever seen him. His jaw is clenched, his eyes narrowed, and his arms crossed over his chest.  

You feel uneasy the more they stare at you, picking at your freshly done nails.  

“You’re going on a date?” Wonwoo’s tone causes you to flinch. 

“Yeah? What’s wrong with that?” You stop pacing, turning to face both of them. Jeonghan shakes his head, glaring at Wonwoo when he goes to speak. 

“Nothing’s wrong with that,” he assures you. “It’s great, actually, that you’re getting out there. Maybe you and...” 

“Mingyu.” 

“You and Mingyu can go on some double dates with Wonwoo and Eunkyung.” Wonwoo scoffs.  

“Me and her broke up.” The air becomes tense, and you shift awkwardly under their gazes.  

“I’m sorry to hear that,” you smile gently, but he just rolls his eyes. Another pang in your chest.  

“Either way, why would I go on double dates with my best friend’s little sister? We aren’t even friends. It would just be awkward.”  

Ouch. You lower your gaze to the ground momentarily. Something inside you cracks, and you fight to keep from crying in front of them. Good to know how he feels about me.  

“I didn’t-” Wonwoo sits up, “I didn’t mean that, Y/N. I’m sorry-” 

“I’m gonna go.” You bite out. “There’s food in the fridge if you don’t wanna order anything. I’ll see you later.”  

Wonwoo nods, bidding you goodbye as you shut the door.  

Fuck him, you keep your gaze on the ground while you walk, who asked for his opinion anyway?  

~ 

“Are you stupid?” 

As soon as the door shuts, Jeonghan's hand flies up to hit his friend upside the head. Wonwoo winces, but doesn’t say anything.  

“I mean, seriously, are you fucking stupid?”  

“I know,” Wonwoo groans and rises to his feet. “I messed up.” 

“Messed up,” Jeonghan echoes. “Dude, you were a complete dick to her. And why? Because you’re jealous that she’s going on a date right after you broke up with Eunkyung to be with her?” 

“Han, I get it.” Wonwoo snapped. “You don’t have to run every detail of my mistakes by me. I know that I messed up.”  

Jeonghan watches his best friend stalk across the room. They’re quiet for a while, the only sounds being from the city below and the music from their paused game.  

“Your only hope now is that the guy is a complete dud.” Wonwoo nods, running his tongue over his lips. “You better hope that she calls me to pick her up or she comes home sorely disappointed, because I’m not gonna put up with you complaining that you lost your chance after you fucked up.” 

Wonwoo silently agrees, leaning forward on the counter and dropping his head down.  

~ 

The date went amazing. Mingyu was...well, he was everything you’d ever wanted. He was polite, he listened to you when you talked, laughed even when the joke wasn’t funny. He paid for the meal, gave you his jacket when it got too cold, and even walked to your apartment complex despite how late it was. You’d panicked a bit when he leaned in, lowering his head until he was looking you in the eyes. He was searching for something, you had realized, and you knew he was disappointed with what he found (or didn’t find).  

Then he’d smiled, leaned back up and sighed.  

“You don’t think is gonna go anywhere, do you?” Your heart damn near stopped in your chest. “Don’t worry, it’s fine. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure I can see this going anywhere either.” 

“Why do you say that?” You tried to hold off the panic. The hurt. Even if he was right, you didn’t want him to know that. Call it stubborn. Call it denial. 

“You love someone else.” He said as if it were a fact. “I could tell. You kept checking your phone, and came up disappointed. I know it wasn’t because of me, or at least I hope it wasn’t. That can only mean a few things. One, work. But you told me your job doesn’t call outside of business hours unless absolutely necessary. Two, you were waiting for a specific message from someone. It could’ve been a friend or family member, but I had a sneaking suspicion that wasn’t the case.” 

“Okay Mr. Detective,” you let out a pained laugh. “You got me, what are you gonna do now?” Mingyu smiles and raises a hand to your cheek, brushing his thumb across. In a perfect world, you probably would’ve kissed him. In a perfect world, where you aren’t in love with your older brother’s best friend, you could’ve gotten with. Someone who didn’t see you as a side character. Just a little girl who tries too hard, or maybe not enough.  

“I’m gonna send you in there, you’re gonna call whoever you were waiting for,” Mingyu inhales and smiles sadly at you. “And you’re gonna tell him exactly how you feel, whether they accept it or not.” 

~ 

“So how was your date?” Your body jolts, nearly dropping your keys after shutting the door.  

“Jesus, Wonwoo. Why the fuck are you still here?” You hiss, squinting as you adjust your eyes to the darkness of your apartment. He sits on the couch, the only light coming from a movie on the TV. He’s leaning against the arm of the couch, his legs thrown across the other cushions.  

Tell him exactly how you feel

“I decided to stay over. Jeonghan is in the guest room. I told him I’d wait up for you. So how was it?” 

“It...was fine. He was great, actually.” You set your purse on the coffee table, folding your arms over your chest.  

“Enough to see him again?” Wonwoo raises an eyebrow and you sigh. 

“Probably not. I mean- yes he was amazing, a perfect gentleman,”  

Wonwoo gets up from the chair as you talk. He sticks his hands into the pockets of his jeans, listening to you talk. 

“He- he listened to me when I talked, he was sweet, he laughed when things weren’t funny, he- what are you doing?” Your eyes are wide when you look up at Wonwoo. He’s only inches from you, and you can feel his breath fanning your cheeks.  

“Jus’ lookin’,” he murmurs, and you can feel his hand against your waist.  

You step away. 

He frowns.  

“Don’t do this.” Your voice is shaking, but your words are laced with venom. “Don’t- you can’t do this to me. Not- just no. Don’t.” Wonwoo steps toward you again, and you take a step back. This dance continues until you’ve backed into the door, pressing your body tightly against it.  

“I’m sorry.” Wonwoo says softly. “I’m sorry for what I’ve said. I’m sorry for treating you like you’re less than me. Like you mean nothing. Because it isn’t true. You mean so much to me, Y/N. I swear, you do.”  

“I don’t believe you.” You breathe. You do. You believe him with your whole being, even if he’s lying to you. “I don’t trust you. I *can’t* trust you. Not after what you said.” 

“Then let me prove it to you.”  

His lips are soft against yours. So soft, and you can feel his hands shaking when they come to hold your cheeks. Your hands wrap around his wrists, holding him in place before sliding up to cup the back of his neck. Wonwoo kisses you gently, but he holds you as if you’ll slip away when he lets go.  

When you part, he doesn’t go far. You don’t let him. He rests his forehead against yours, his nose grazing your cheek. Your hands play with the hairs on his neck and Wonwoo shudders.  

“Do you believe me now?” You smile, your eyes squeezing shut. He nudges your cheek with his nose and tilts your head up. Another kiss is placed against your waiting lips. “Hm?” 

“I believe you.

TAGLIST: @fawnieszn @winterchimez

[superemeralds]

Who is your oldest (like longest had) OC? When did you come up with them, or tell us what the inspiration was!

my oldest oldest OC is Diana, she's a sailor moon self-insert who's the princess of the entire galaxy (as opposed to usagi's pathetic reign over juuust the solar system lmao) and she was sailor star. To be fair thgouh, I did make her before i saw season 5 and that season ruined my entire lore and I kind of dropped sailor moon for a while after that akjfhkajsf but when i was 9 or 10 i started making this sailor moon season 6 comic where my oc was the main character obviously but i was also obsessed w like 5 other certoons and anime so it just all meshed together. also all the other characters wouldnt stop commenting on my character being sooo tomboyish and how she was seen as one of the boys and one conflict was her not wanting to be girly when she transforms... I WONDER WHAT THAT MEANT FOR ME.........🏳️‍⚧️

my oldest OC that i actually have like. well recorded inspo and history of (drew him lots, still use him sometimes) is saph.

he was my sonic self insert at first. in the very beginning he was sonic's long lost sister ♥ back then he used to work for eggman. also i only knew about sonic from sonic x and only the first 2 seasons existed in germany at the time i watched it, so i thought 1) shadow is one of eggmans minions 2) shadow is an ugly jerk and i hated him lol.

(the rest is under cut bc this came out suuuper long)

same story as last oc. at first trying hard to be girly, (also holy shit i found the poerfect img for this)

but that's uncomfortable so i'm making the oc edgy. (notice the "MALE NOSE!!!!") at this point the backstory was that he's a "clone" of sonic shadow and silver.

no wait even better. run around naked like the boy characters.

everyone always confusing the giiirl for a boooy and i genuinely got some hate for my character design bc i shipped him w shadow and wow u cant have a homo OCxCanon ship ewww lmao but oh well.

someone once dared me to do a genderbend and then i just changed the color from white to black and they were angry i didnt do a proper genderbend. while the anti version of the character was a proper girly girl with pink and sparkles and smiles and rainbows and skirts and frilly tops and stupid hairstyle. and ppl complained the anti looked more like a genderbend. (below is the "anti". i can't find the genderbend anymore)

for me it just was my first crack in the egg bc hey. i don't want to be preppy, i want to be emo. but im not allowed bc girls are not meant to be edgy. and im notally not projecting on the boy version of this character more than the girl one. nope.

with every year i reduced the hair pieces at the front lmao but ya after my egg cracked i focused more on making him cool andkeeping him gender neutral. Then i used him to prcess a lot of my ongoing hardships in life. the redesign also being bc of a big shift (well. yeah me transitioning socially lmao)

he's unfortunately associated a lot w that painful time so i don't use him a lot anymore

he came a long way though im proud of him. here's one of the most recent drawings together with his brother (also has lots of lore on how he happened but im not feeling like it rn to go on that tangent)

[yesloulou]

i cannot stop thinking about your gorgeous art for so close, we combust! i'm wondering if you can give us a little director's cut about it? like how you chose the images, anything that you want to share? it makes me want to launch myself into space and eat the moon like cheese.

em im so honored by this ask and i too want to eat the moon like cheese bc it sounds like a very fun activity ❤️‍🔥

soo basically the first pic was my inspo bc it was just so so SCWC (so close, we combust by @officialmood) coded. it had an imbalance to it. for starters we can only see max looking like he was about to explode from fondness while daniel had his back turned and we can't see his face. and like. everything was straightforward for max. the genuine affection for daniel came so easily to him. it was so transparent. but since they were hugging daniel had no idea max's face looked like that when he hugged him. and based on what we know about cool cocky nonchalant RB daniel, one is likely to assume daniel wasn't equally affected by it – and i think they would be right. that hug was at daniel's last race with red bull. there were walls of ppl lining up to congratulate him and send him off. and max was at the end of this line. by the time daniel got to him the impact of it would've been softened by all those that came before. it was like. daniel was saying goodbye to the whole team in one sitting and max was only saying goodbye to daniel. all the imbalances here really remind me of the first part SCWC, where daniel was aware of everything, yet more or less took it for granted, so used to being on the receiving end of max's attention and affection. SCWC daniel "didn’t know at the time that this would be the kind of memory he would turn over and over, trying to cut himself against the sharp part", canon daniel likely also underestimated how rare and precious it was to have the whole team (and max) adore and support him like that.

and it was all about to change. the hug (2nd gif) after AD 21 was a whole other dynamic. it was a much more reserved hug. there were so much complicated emotions that went into it: before daniel went up to max in parc ferme, he had just witnessed max overtake lewis during the final laps of the most dramatic recent f1 season to take his first world title. and since daniel had been lapped by both max and lewis, he literally had to watch it all unfold right in front of him, first hand. and now max, his old teammate, the reason he had to leave his team, the one he on some level saw as a younger sibling, the one ppl said he ran away from, was a world champion before him when that exact wdc dream had slipped further and further away from daniel, who in fact had just had the most bizarre season in his whole f1 career.

it was just a lot of complicated emotions for daniel at that point. i think it must've taken effort for him to feel happy for max at all, let along going up to him and congratulating him right then and there. but daniel did it anyway. and it was a painfully hasty hug imo esp compared to how it went with lando and carlos. it was even a lil awkward bc you can tell max had both of his arms up but daniel didn't plan on going in with a full hug. but still, he wanted to congratulate max and he did.

it wasn't a fun moment to recall as a daniel girlie but it also has such a nice echo with the second part of SCWC. they were hugging/hanging out like all those times they hugged/hung out before. but everything had changed. max looked like a whole different person now (both in scwc and irl in the gif set), and he became comfortable being in control. and for daniel, this time he was the one with all those emotions going into it. neither scwc pt. 2 daniel (in max's apartment) or 2021 canon daniel (in parc ferme) was all that comfortable, but they were both there anyway, looking for a shred of reality that vaguely resembles what he and max used to be, holding on to the hope that a part of them survived despite everything.

anyways, basically as soon as i had the first pic as inspo i decided that i wanted the second pic to also be one of their hugs but with a completely different dynamic, just like in pt1 and pt2 of scwc they were doing the same things (hanging out) completely differently. and then i just thought of that second hug. and with hugging being the subject there is also the sense of like, the closer they came, the more the reality sank in, that max had won before him, that all their conflicts had come to a boiling point, that the deal had been sealed. it's just like what the title says, came so close we combust.

idk if im making sense with everything here but hopefully this has been a fun read :) ty for this ask em and again ty liza for blessing us with SCWC!!!
