[neigepomme]

Hi there! I just joined the LADS fandom a few weeks ago and am enjoying it a lot! My favorites are Xavier and Caleb, but the other boys are great too! I love reading everyone’s adaptations of them!

I was curious as to if you were taking requests right now! If you’re not, feel free to disregard this!

I was hoping I could get headcanons for each other the boys with a s/o who enjoys quality time with them, but is big on having their alone time too?

I see a lot of headcanons for them being extremely attached to their s/o (Caleb lol), but what would they do or how would they handle their s/o needing time to themselves alone, to recharge their social battery?

Again, don’t feel pressured to write them if you aren’t taking request! Thank you so much!!!

HIII WELCOME WELCOME!!! omg this topic is so real my social battery is unfortunately very easily depleted so i get it..

˙ ✩°˖ 💫 with xavier

⋆ xavier himself needs his own time to recharge in the form of naps, so when you let him know that you need some time apart to recharge? he most definitely gets it. being neighbors and all, he hopes you know that you can come by and let him know when you're up to interact though — but if you need a longer amount of time to recharge? he just sends over messages narrating what he's up to and letting you know that there's no pressure if you're not feeling up to reply back.

˙ ✩°˖ ☃️ with zayne

⋆ zayne's not the most extroverted either, especially after most days where he's exhausted from hospital shifts, so he understands that your alone time (and his) is important to maintain the relationship healthy. however, he does like basking in your presence so he suggests that you stay together but in different rooms or stay out of each other's way. there's something especially comforting about preparing a cup of tea and a plate of sweets for you, and deliver it to you in his living room, while he indulges in a book in his study. the most contact he'll do when you're having alone time is kiss your forehead before leaving the room to occupy himself with something else.

— "zayne ?"

— "just some food to keep you happy. i'll be upstairs if you need me."

and with a press of his lips to your forehead, he's gone but still within reach.

˙ ✩°˖ 🐟 with rafayel

⋆ rafayel.. takes it a bit harder. it took him years to find you, and even now that you're dating, it's still hard to fully wrap his head around it — he wouldn't do anything to push your boundaries though. instead, he settles for pouting a bit when you mention being unavailable so that you can recharge. he also complains about thomas and his daily life in your messages, but he always does it with the intent to make you laugh rather than to pressure you into answering. however, don't be too shocked when he comes across as more whiny and sulky in those texts.. it's his way to cope...

˙ ✩°˖ 🐦‍⬛ with sylus

⋆ sylus is similar to zayne, albeit a bit more chatty if that makes sense? he completely understands your need for alone time, but he does prefer it when you spend it in his manor rather than at your apartment, so far away from him. if you do insist on recharging at your own place, you'll most definitely get some deliveries that include your favorite lunch meal from your favorite cafe, or a bouquet of your favorite flowers. sylus has no issue with you taking time to yourself, but he hopes you'll let him indulge in spoiling you on your day off. he will let you know that he misses you through brief messages amidst flowers.

˙ ✩°˖ ✈️ with caleb

⋆ caleb is a mix of all of the guys!! having grown up together and whatnot, he's fully aware of your habits, including you taking time off to relax and be by yourself. besides, he lives quite far from you already, so it's not like he isn't used to not being able to see you. however, after starting to date, it's a bit different? caleb likes to stick by you, but not in a way that's bothersome, instead settling for a voice call where the both of you are muted — he enjoys the comfort of knowing you're relaxing and recharging on the other end of the line, even without hearing your voice. don't be too surprised if you get a food delivery around lunch time, sent to you by a mysterious "mr. big apple" though!

[sipthegossip-if]

AHAHA!! yesss! when i saw the title i immediately started humming the tune! i absolutely adore måneskin! oh and this is the same nonny from earlier btw lol. i would love to talk abt them w you, but i don’t wanna draw away from your IF’s blog!

i hope you have an amazing day/night!!

context.

facts about river.

kai

has a secret collection of russian literature; they are a huge fan!

culinary expert.

they knit whenever they feel the need to relax.

has a fear of pigeons and will go to great lengths to avoid them.

has an intense rivalry with a local cat. animals really don't like them.

worst memory? their mom forcing them to dance during family events as a kid.

alex

is lowkey a conspiracy theory fan and often discusses wild theories, only to backpedal when they realise they are taking it too seriously.

terrible at cooking so they order takeout and pretend they made it for the praise. (they will Google mc's favourite food and have it "coincidentally" show up on set the next day)

pranks the cast by hiding their phone chargers and then themself forgets where they hid them.

they have a pet cactus they speak to everyday. it's their best friend.

hope you have a great day/night too nonnie! <3

as someone who mostly doesn’t read any fiction by sociology majors or queer people who like to construct things, I want to know more of what you think about Cobra Kai. It’s interesting to see someone with a more “academic” relationship to fiction watch and talk about silly pulp stuff that I like.

I admit it’s utterly corny and “non-prestigious” for lack of a better word, but it does somehow speak to me in it’s shameless ‘80s-ness, and I want to know about what this says about me.

(I do like more intelligent fiction as well, but mostly artsy movies. Prestige tv or literary fiction has historically been too much of a time commitment to stay philosophically focused the whole time. I was a voracious reader as a kid, and I’m trying to read Anna Karenina, but the internet has rotted my attention span. I can do a 100 minute art movie, but reading a book chunks at a time is somehow hard to stay engaged with.)

Sorry this has taken so long to answer - was waiting to finish season five and then just forgot

I mean mostly I think it's entertaining trash with some enjoyably scenery-chewing performances and surprisingly good fight choreography? I also respect the utter commitment to the bit, in this world where 'karate' is a pan-Asian marital art that does legitimately give low-level superpowers and also guns don't really seem to exist. The shameless '80s nostalgia bait clashing with the modern setting is also done with enough effort and self-awareness to mostly be really fun. But it's honestly more background noise than anything I'm actually watching with analytical intent.

That said the show's conception of and preoccupation with masculinity is just fascinating for how deeply held and also unselfaware it seems to be?

Like Johny is clearly a comic, pathetic figure, right? Especially in season one, he's a failure of what mature masculinity is supposed to be (deadbeat dad, shitty insecury housing, no steady work or marketable skills, embarrassing piece of shit car, neither a long term relationship nor success when he tries for something casual). His fetishistic attachment to the outward signifiers of '80s machismo is presented as something to laugh at, both because of how outdated they are and because he can't live up to them. But! The show also presents him as having a kind of Quixote-esque nobility about him, and the next five seasons of tv are a long sequence of him basically achieving all the things he was pathetic for lacking in the premier.

More broadly, the show has a very, very clear thesis that the vital core of being a Good Man is a) being able to deploy incredibly violence through personal strength and skill b) but choosing not to do so as a demonstration of restraint and virtue c) unless it's for a just cause or someone is really asking for it. Like, literally every male character with an arc is good at karate! Even the MIT-bound dweeb who was introduced to get shoved into lockers and the annoying brat Ipad baby younger son! The show simply does not care to waste screentime on a guy who can't punch you into a coma.

(There's something almost like, chivalric about the plot beat in season 5 where Daniel has dutifully chosen to give up his vendetta against Silver because protecting his wife and children is more important than abstract principle or glory, and then his wife needs to cajole and convince him to get back in the fight with her blessing. Warrior-aristocrat-ass gender role enactment

(Because it's the 2020s, a select number of women can be warriors too. As long as they're incredibly conventionally attractive, and also never defeat/emasculate any of the really important men. I did actually laugh when the only non-supermodel-hot major female character was written off between seasons with like a single line of explanation))

Besides all that - I mean it's kind of hilarious how the show is so studiously colorblind is filling its supporting cast and has a few relatively prominent asian characters whose race is just literally never important in any way, and then also portrays The Orient like it's 1980 and the closest anyone involved has ever come to Asia is watching a couple horribly dubbed wire-fu movies.

[the-axe-and-flail]

Yesss I love these ones! I splurged and got the resin version of Gyomei and it's just 😙👌👌👌 he's MASSIVE and God so perfect. Compared to my other PVC's he's a monster 🤣

I want the Yoriichi in resin soooo bad. Cheng Studios needs to hurry and release the Kyojuro and Mitsuri ones already 😤

Since I already got 2 Rengoku figures in my living room. I thought I treat myself with 2 other hot dudes...

They are so fucking BIG?! Like they are over 30 cm! But the details are amazing and I am just so in love 🥹

Kokushibo is frigging ripped that I have always the urge to scrap with my nails on his abs which creates LITERALLY ripped noises and I am kdljflskjdf
