Random Spy x Pyro hcs

Pyro likes how fancy and gentlemannly Spy is, even if it's not really their style. They gush over the simple things, like Spy pulling their chair for them or opening the door. Nobody has ever treated them like that before.

Pyro holds tea parties and Spy absolutely attends them. He brings his own biscuits and even his own tea, because while Pyro likes playing pretend, there's no reason they can't use the fancy teacups for actually drinking tea. Pyro drinks theirs through a silly straw.

Spy likes how Pyro smells. Especially at the fact he can even smell them at all; his sense of smell has dulled due to his constant smoking, but Pyro is very pungent with how sharp gasoline can be. Even dried blood. Spy hates the latter but learned to enjoy the former, because it reminds him of gas stations, dark nights, and of course, Pyro.

Spy is very picky about physical contact, both because of his own boundaries and because of his expensive clothes. He makes a lot of exceptions for Pyro, but overall prefers simple things like holding hands or sitting next to each other. Doesn't stop Pyro from giving him the occasional hug, but they make sure their suit is clean and that Spy can get out of it anytime he wants (which he rarely does).

Spy has a huge knife collection and lets Pyro paint some of them, particularly the duplicates. His favourite knife is the one that is balloonicorn themed but he uses it sparingly, because he doesn't want to damage it.

Spy lights his cigarette from the pilot light of Pyro's flamethrower from time to time. It is not safe and actually more of a hassle than getting out his lighter, but he enjoys the view of looking up at the flamethrower and Pyro. Plus, it shows that he trusts them with their finger on the trigger.

Pyro gave Spy his own balloonicorn plush, Reindoonicorn because it's apparently fancy like him. He keeps it on his bed but does not sleep with it... but usually wakes up with it in his arms (which is a secret he keeps to the grave)

Pyro had a problem with being too quiet and mumbling their words, making them even harder to understand through the filter. But Spy, being a master of disguises and voices, helped them project their voice and enunciate their words.

They share words together sometimes on paper or in a little notebook, writing out conversations back when Spy had trouble understanding them and when his knowledge of ASL was the bare basics. Pyro's handwriting has capital letters mixed in with the littles written like the words they'd read in a children's book, while Spy's is cursive and round.

They share that notebook of their written conversations, but Pyro is usually the one who keeps it. Occasionally they flip through it to reminisce and giggle over Spy's overly fancy handwriting.

Pyro is more used to drawing animals than people and made Spy his own unicornsona. Pyro also draws themself as a unicorn, but one with a cute little tail, while Spy's is the more traditional medieval long one. Spy likes the decision.

Lots of parallel play here. Spy either reads through the latest catalogue of Mann.co daily or is meticulously cleaning his knives. Nearby Pyro is either drawing on a sketchpad Spy got them (because he couldn't bare to see them drawing on Engineer's discarded blueprints anymore, made it hard to see the art) or doing the same, cleaning their flamethrower and axe. Completely silent but together.

Pyro enjoys giving gifts to Spy, but they are not too knowledgeable in the kind of stuff he likes. Like fancy clothes or some shade of wine, but they prefer making their gifts anyway. They give him drawings of himself, a pack of cigarettes they thought he'd like, sometimes something softer like a blanket or scarf. On the surface Spy accepts it all with an easy smile but underneath he is absolutely jumping with joy.

They enjoy standing outside at night during Spy's evening smoke, where they trace constellations together and talk about all sorts of stuff. This close Spy can sometimes see Pyro's eyes through the lens, and Pyro can see his guard falter as he relaxes into what they carved together.

estoril 2011:

Towards the end of the second session of free practice, Valentino Rossi eased off the throttle, allowing Casey Stoner to get past. Rossi says he backed off to take a breather, before putting his head down for a final attempt at setting a fast time; Stoner says Rossi was waiting for him to get a tow. Stoner says Rossi's so desperate for a fast lap he'll wait for a tow; Rossi says that this happens in every practice session, and if Stoner is sick of people getting tows he should go race on his own. It went downhill from there: Stoner says the signal he gave to Rossi - tapping the rear of his bike - was intended as a call to heel, Rossi being "like a dog who follows you everywhere." Rossi in turn said that if spent his time tapping the seat hump of his bike every time someone followed him, he would have broken several hundred of them.

post-race estoril test 2011:

News has now emerged that Casey Stoner waited on the race track to impede Valentino Rossi’s smooth running on the Monday test at Estoril. This is supposed to be his retaliation for a similar move by Rossi during free practice to get a tow behind Stoner.  When Rossi was asked if this was true he answered in the affirmative but also added some controversy by saying that this rivalry was fun. Wonder what Stoner’s response would be.

and:

The first reports on Mediaset - reporting rumors passed on by "a little bird" from the MotoGP paddock present at the Monza World Superbike round - suggested that Stoner had run Rossi off the track once during the Estoril test, having first circulated slowly, waiting for the Italian, then blocked Rossi again a second time later on. When asked by journalists at the opening of a store in Milan for Enel, the Italian energy company that sponsors the Ducati factory team, Rossi claimed that Stoner had indeed obstructed him a little, riding on his line as the Italian approached. "To me, it looked like he did it on purpose," Rossi told the press, before then passing the incident off as "not a big problem". In the end, Rossi told reporters, these little quarrels between the riders were "just a bit of fun." So far, of course, we have only heard one side of the story, from the unnamed MotoGP source at Monza, then partially confirmed by Rossi in Milan. Identifying the source at Monza would be difficult, given the number of Italian MotoGP riders and team members attending the Monza World Superbike round. And Rossi's version of the story is much milder than the original claims, Rossi only claiming that Stoner rode on his line and got in his way, rather than waiting for him and running him off the track.

It makes me almost laugh how, even after P5R, some genuinely believe Akiren and Akechi hate each other. It’s just so baffling to me when (and this isn’t even everything):

1) The whole beginning of their confidant (and Akiren still going out with Akechi for eight whole ranks) implies in a not-even-subtle way that Akiren knew. He knew from the very start that Akechi was someone at the very least dangerous due to his detective work, and even more so with the full-on certainty (basically) that Akechi had already been into the metaverse. Yet the full true ending requires that the whole confidant has been completed and truly, besides an initial attempt to understand the danger the PTs were getting into with Akechi, Akiren/Akechi’s whole outings were... dates. The most normal of dates, aside from Rank 7 (which is where, again, not even so subtly, Goro “mentions” the whole assassination ordeal and an aborted-from-the-start possible accomplice route) and ofc Rank 8. Akiren didn’t have much to gain from them, besides possibly understanding... well, Akechi as a person. And also, Akiren is kind of an appreciator of the fine art of danger, he likes the thrill of it. He loves the rivalry they have. 

2) I adore how dudebros many use the whole “I hate you” bit of Rank 8 as proof of Akechi’s hatred towards Akiren and... it is kinda funny. Because, yes, the sentiment is there, and Akechi isn’t utterly lying, but it requires a reading between the lines operation. Both Morgana and Maruki literally state, respectively that “Goro likes Joker” (OG Japanese Engine Room, translated in English as “You don’t hate Joker”, which still conveys the same meaning, albeit less strongly/forwardly) and that their relationship “ISN’T based on hatred, nor ill will”. 

What Goro defines as spite for Akiren as a person is mostly spite because of his envy. Envy because Joker is everything Goro could have been had he had a chance. Envy because Joker was luckier. Envy because Joker got what Akechi had been craving for the most: being loved by people around him for who he is. These same people are also ones that state how basically everything from Akechi’s mouth is a full on lie besides this one and only one, but I digress. A more normal line of thoughts linked to this is, well, Akechi’s whole assassination attempt as proof of his hatred again, which well, the assassination attempt is yikes on a healthy relationship perspective, but since I am not debating on whether their relationship is healthy or not as if enemies to lovers where the lovers attempt to kill each other isn’t a basis for many heterosexual classical literature romances as well, isn’t it pretty funny that Goro challenges Akiren to a duel just before that fateful day of November. And isn’t it even funnier how he wasn’t that surprised by Akiren surviving and even states,at max rank, how Akiren too isn’t satisfied with how they left it either. I wonder.

3) P5R whole, well, Royal part is literally Maruki creating a false reality for all the PTs and somehow people still believe Akiren hates Goro with the full-on knowledge that Akiren’s whole ideal (again ideal, wished for) reality is Goro living and working with the PTs. It’s Goro having a second chance. It’s Goro specifically being with him, playing Chess with him in the reserved space of Akiren’s attic (the window behind them is the same as Akiren’s attic), their card is the only one, besides Simping Morgana - where Ann isn’t even looking at him btw) - where two PTs are together). 

I have seen someone in a comment mention how this is proof Akiren wanted Akechi to pay for his crimes and being alive was so Goro could be sent to jail when? Literally Akechi isn’t allowed to go to jail in Maruki’s reality LMAO. Akiren could have asked for everything. Money, fame... yes, but we can state these aren’t truly Akiren-like wishes, right? So, not that. But how about... having a loving family that actually cares? Because no, I can’t believe parents who leave their child to a friend’s acquaintance are supposed to be good parents. But this is an HC, so let’s scrap that. Then there is it: clearing up his name. Making it so that all of his crimes would vanish completely, especially in a country like Japan where having a dirty record is utterly terrible. He would get rid of the side-looks, the prejudices, the suspicions possibly brewing in his home town about him being the worst of criminals at age 17/18. And yet. No. For sure we can say the PTs being all together is also accounted for in Akiren’s wish, possibly, but the thing is, Maruki doesn’t use that as a last resource. His ace in his sleeve was Akechi. Had always been.

4) Every single third awakening in the game is in each PT’s room. It’s somewhere private, somewhere which is only theirs, somewhere they can call home. Akechi’s initially, in early development as uncovered by Faz, was in Jazz Jin which, he himself admits, is kinda his place, a place where he unwinds and relaxes. Akin to, well, a bedroom. Yet, it was significantly changed. Changed to freaking Leblanc. And no, I don’t think it’s because of the coffee. 

5) You know the song No More What Ifs? The one which at first was in Proof Of Justice (which, by the way, either inspired the contents of the game or the Anime and P5R directors are besties, since what’s in there is basically Akechi’s P5R confidant condensed in 20 minutes of angsty gay longing footage) and then got put, as many other Proof of Justice related matters - as stated above -, in the game? It’s literally Akechi’s theme song. And it talks about him in every way (I can only be me... if you haven’t read Mementos Mission GO READ IT) and about someone else who brings joy to life (I wonder who that is)? Yes, well, the instrumental of it is the default song in the Thieves Den. Which. It’s defined as Akiren’s palace. 2+2=4 and in here Suspicious coincidences add up to just equal either fruity (for real) or still the undeniable fact that what these two share is a sentiment far, far from hatred.

Chandler knows this but I am going to fistfight Samuel Dalton Reich in a Denny's Parking lot if we don't get some kind of Fantasy High: Junior Year promo content soon I am losing my mind please Sam just let me see my favorite losers again I will take a singular screencap to hold me over

[actual-changeling]

fun fact for those who don't know: there's a great mental illness combination my psychiatrist literally refers to as "double depression" which basically means that i am chronically depressed and then ON TOP OF THAT i get even worse depressive episodes. a lovely relationship between of dysthymia and MDD.

no highs, only low and lower. psychologists should want to study me under a microscope with all the shit i have going on

[springcatalyst]

another one. i also love ezekiel. itd be so easy for him to be too much, for it to just be ridiculous and cheesy, but its not. and i love a bitch with a facade

it benefits him but its not FOR him. its not a selfish facade. he keeps it because he knows his people want or need it, he knows it puts them at ease and lightens their minds, and so he maintains it constantly. we can see him put it on, in the few scenes we get of him alone he moves different, carries himself differently, and only acts it up when people are around. he DOES rely on it himself in a way but it is never FOR him and we know this because he lets it down easily and selflessly.

when he meets carol he lets down the facade to talk to her because he knows she needs to see through it. she needs the facade to go away to take him seriously. everybody else needs the facade to feel safe. but if it was selfish of him he wouldnt be able to let it down around her, especially not so soon after they meet, when she is all but a stranger. if it was armor he wouldnt be able to let go of it. but he can and does because its not for him. its for everybody else

and the facade BREAKS when he loses all those people (in the savior fight in s8). then its not let down, it falls apart, because it looks like it failed. it DID fail. he failed to protect his people, facade and all. a lot of people died protecting him and they did so explicitly because of what he'd built. it backfires. so in the absence of its usefulness and in the despair of losing everyone it crumbles completely as he tries to protect what little he has left (carol and jerry).

but it transitions to a more selfish facade when the kingdom falls. not completely, but he maintains it even when it doesnt seem like he needs to anymore. sure, the people with him may still expect it, but without control or an air to maintain his image isnt as important to people anymore. but he still keeps it. because now that he doesnt have to do it, he needs it more. to feel like anything he does matters, or that he has any place at all left in the world, or that he can do anything to protect people still. THEN its for him. its more of a defense, then, against pointlessness. and then it only falls when he has no point. like on the lookout above the cliff

THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME BESTIE I LOVE YOU /P

ANYWAYS IT'S ZORO AND LUFFY IT HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. I ALSO LOVE THEM PLATONIC BUT NO MATTER WHAT I THINK THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS SO SPECIAL... I DON'T WANNA SPOIL YOU TOO MUCH BUT LIKE. I CAN LITERALLY WRITE AN ESSAY I HAVE WRITTEN AN ESSAY AND IT WAS LIKE 1000 WORDS AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO IT THAT MUCH. IN GENERAL IT'S JUST. SOMETHING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TRUST THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER AND THE DEVOTION. THEY CARE. THEY CARE SO MUCH. LUFFY CARES ABOUT AND LOVES THE WHOLE CREW, OF COURSE, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ZORO HITS DIFFERENT. EVEN AS EARLY AS THE BUGGY STUFF WHEN ZORO PICKED UP THAT HEAVY ASS CAGE AND HAULED LUFFY TO SAFETY DESPITE HIS STAB WOUND? AND WHEN HE TRUSTED LUFFY ENOUGH TO LITERALLY JUST GO TO SLEEP ON THE BATTLEFIELD? IT GOT ME. THAT SHIT GOT ME. ALSO LIKE, ZORO IS ZORO. HE'S A PRETTY PROUD MAN, BUT HE SWALLOWED HIS PRIDE AND GOT ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AND BEGGED FOR LUFFY'S SAKE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AND HE IS QUITE LITERALLY WILLING TO DIE FOR LUFFY. PLUS ON LUFFY'S SIDE SOMETIMES ZORO IS THE ONLY ONE LUFFY WILL REALLY LISTEN TO AND TAKE SERIOUSLY. AND I CAN'T FIND IT NOW BUT THERE'S THIS ONE PANEL WHERE A BUNCH OF THE CREW IS PASSED OUT AND LUFFY IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TO ZORO AND HOLDS HIM ASKING "HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED WITH YOU HERE?" THE TRUST IS INSANE... AND THEN A MUCH SMALLER BUT STILL VERY IMPORTANT THING TO ME. ONCE LUFFY LITERALLY OFFERED TO SHARE HIS LUNCH WITH ZORO! I SEE THAT AS A LOVE CONFESSION, PERSONALLY... AND ALSO THIS BIT... THEY WERE ONLY SEPARATED FOR LIKE, A WEEK AND WERE LIKE THAT... IT'S LOVE IN MY EYES...

(Also bonus headcanons: To me they are both asexual and Luffy is demiromantic while Zoro is gay)
