Untitled, 2025 (GD x OFC) Chapter 9: Smut
Look, I couldn't help myself... it's only been three days but this basically wrote itself. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🌼 Let me know what you think, it's been so nice to read. 💛
Tumblr media
Pairing: G-Dragon/Kwon Jiyong x OFC Genre/Warnings: in this chapter: unprotected sex (idiots)
It’s 2025 and the King of K-Pop is back. He and his music are everywhere. On the charts, all over social media and smack in the middle of Maddie’s work schedule. Sometimes she still can’t believe this is her actual job now - documenting the chaos behind the scenes and trying to make sure no one on his team gets lost, bruised or accidentally starts a viral scandal.
What’s even harder to believe? That she and Jiyong met five years ago. Actually… scratch that. They met ten years ago too. Time has a weird sense of humor like that and things get blurry when you’re busy, nostalgic, and maybe just a little bit smitten. Also, life throws more daisies your way than you’d expect.
Part 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
More on AO3
When I get to Jiyong’s apartment that night, it couldn’t feel more different from the night before. I’ve done my hair and makeup, I’m wearing a peach-colored dress and I’m a little nervous. Which is silly, maybe. But I can’t shake it.
Honestly, I’m glad we had last night. Without it, I might have been even worse.
When I reach for the keypad, I hesitate. Then I ring the doorbell instead. Perhaps it’s silly but the keypad is for work time only?
Jiyong opens the door with a startled face, then immediately relaxes. Apparently, he is also used to me just coming in, at least when he knows staff is coming over.
“Oh, shit. I thought it might be someone else” he says, pulling me inside before shutting the door. His hand lingers lightly on my back. Then his eyes sweep over my face and down my body. It’s not lewd, just… appreciative. A little surprised maybe. A knowing nod.
“You look beautiful” he says simply and kisses me. Just the softest brush of lips.
“Same” I murmur, because I noticed too. He’s just in a white t-shirt tucked into jeans. Nothing flashy, no statement piece, for him surprisingly simple actually and yet somehow - like always - he manages to make it look impossibly elegant.
Just like he promised, he had a plan.
Soft music plays through the speakers, there are fresh flowers on the table and warm light spills from a corner lamp. It’s not overdone, but it’s definitely on purpose. It feels special. And at first, maybe because of that, we’re both a little stiff. He keeps moving around, remembering things he forgot, distracted by details. I perch awkwardly around the kitchen, unsure whether to follow him or stay put.
It breaks when we start arguing over what to order for dinner. Somehow it makes us laugh. He admits he meant to cook and I shake my head in mild alarm, which makes him grin.
We end up eating in front of the window, plates on our laps, the city glowing beneath us. It’s in stark contrast with our clothes, but fun. We talk about our days. It’s not like we needed fancy clothes or candles to do this - we’ve eaten together in this apartment dozens of times before - but tonight it’s different. There are no phones between us. No talk of tomorrow. Just him and me, on an actual date.
The food is good. When we open a bottle of bubbly, Jiyong turns it into a performance - full of flair and mock elegance. I giggle. But then the cork explodes with way more force than expected and champagne sprays everywhere. His plate, my plate, my sleeve, my chest, even the side of my face and my hair get splattered.
The shriek I let out? Immediate regret. There’s definitely a premature ejaculation joke somewhere in this, but I’m proud of myself for pushing it away.
Jiyong curses, apologizing a dozen times even while laughing, caught between embarrassment and helpless delight. He quickly balances the dripping bottle and plates, whisking them to the kitchen to save the carpet. When he returns, it’s with an armada of kitchen towels, all bunched in his arms like a determined waiter at a fancy hotel.
“I can’t believe that happened.” he mutters, crouching in front of me with those pouty lips and a slightly panicked expression. He dabs at my chest, my arm, the side of my face - gentle, apologetic. My skin prickles at the closeness. “Well, that’s uncomfortable. We can’t have that. I’m so sorry. Let’s put the dress on the dry-cleaner pile and get you into something else, yeah?”
I nod, letting him help me up. The carpet seems to have survived. The cats, on the other hand, have disappeared - clearly traumatized by the champagne cannon. Jiyong clicks his tongue at one as he pulls me down the hallway toward his bedroom and the adjoining dressing room.
“I assume you don’t want Chanel, just something comfy?” he teases, already halfway to the racks. I nod again, glancing down at the damp peach fabric clinging to my skin. As much as I mourn the dress, sweats for the second night in a row honestly sound like heaven.
I sip the last of my drink while he rummages through a drawer, until I notice him looking at my hair.
“Oh” he says with exaggerated concern “only just noticed I got your hair too.”
I touch it. It’s… yeah, kind of drippy.
“Do you want a shower?” he asks casually, but there’s a flicker in his eyes that gives him away.
I shake my head quickly. “Don’t worry, it’s not like…”
But I stop when I see his grin spreading.
Shit.
My cheeks warm.
“I assume I wouldn’t be alone in said shower?”
He nods slowly, lips twitching into something soft and sly. But he waits. Patiently.
Okay. This is it.
Why is the first time with someone always nerve-racking? Even when it hasn’t been the actual first in so long? Even when I’ve pictured it a thousand different ways. Even when I’ve wanted him since the day we met. It’s because I waited so long. Because it’s him.
I take a breath. “Well… I guess it would only be responsible.”
He chuckles, eyes crinkling. “Let me get us another glass of this - carefully.”
And then he’s gone, disappearing down the hall. I run my fingers through my sticky hair and try not to think too hard. A minute later, he’s back - lights off behind him, the only glow now coming from the bathroom, warm and golden and quietly inviting.
The bathroom is stunning, of course. I’ve only ever glimpsed it briefly, passing by during makeup touch-ups. Usually, I use the smaller guest bathroom by the entrance. This one? It feels like a sanctuary.
He hands me my glass. We toast. Sip. And then just stand there for a second, glasses pushed onto the sink. Smiling. Teetering. Our eyes lock and we both break into a little awkward laugh.
“Whatever…” I murmur.
And then I just… go for it. Pull the band-aid off. I reach for the hem of my dress and lift it over my head in one smooth motion.
There’s a pause. Then:
“Oh good god.”
He’s got one hand in his hair, the other still holding his glass, eyes wide and reverent.
Yeah. The I’m-probably-getting-lucky underwear has done its job.
And his reaction is everything I hoped for, makes me feel really good about myself, even though I don’t know what to do with my arms now, awkwardly crossing them in front of me.
Smiling, he pulls off his shirt. I nod with a grin. Seen his naked chest before, liked it then. Like it even more now.
As he opens his belt buckle - slow, almost casual - the sight alone sends goosebumps across my back in the best kind of way.
“Shit” he murmurs, stepping closer. “I’m so fucking lucky. You have no idea how long I’ve imagined you like this.”
His voice is quiet, but the way he looks at me speaks volumes.
“Damn” I reply, mock-serious. “I don’t want to burst your bubble…”
I pretend to take a step back, teasing.
But he’s faster. Laughing, he ignores his half-undone jeans and pulls me toward him, hands warm on my hips before wrapping fully around me. He’s right there, face just inches from mine and we both break into wide, ridiculous smiles. His eyes search mine like he’s trying to memorize something. And before I know it, my bra has unclasped without me really realizing he was doing that.
Right. Okay. Yes. You used to be a fuckboy. We get it.
When I let the bra slip off, he exhales slowly, looking down and not even hiding what he is looking at.
“Do they live up to the fantasy version of me?” I ask with a grin.
He just nods, still speechless. There’s something incredibly endearing about that.
“Shower” he finally mutters. “Before I forget myself.” Oh, but please do.
He turns toward the glass door, stripping the rest of the way and I take the opportunity to admire the view - shamelessly. Then I slide off my underwear and take a deep breath before stepping into the warmth behind him.
At first, it’s awkward. I try not to trip over myself while acting like naked showering together is totally normal. But then his hands are in my hair, gently lathering shampoo, tilting my head so the spray doesn’t hit my face. He’s quiet, focused. I just watch him, eyes tracing the curve of his cheekbone, the arch of his brow, the concentration in his mouth. Eventually, I lean in until our chests touch, skin against skin, warm water between us. I feel his rhythm falter just slightly. Good.
When he looks up, we’re both grinning. It’s a game now, quiet and private. Who’s going to give in first? I want to kiss him so badly I can feel it in my stomach. I want to be closer, just all in already.
His hands drift over my waist, slow and steady and it feels like I’ve won - but so has he. There’s no loser here tonight.
I suck in a breath when he pulls me against him fully, our bodies aligned, no space left. Water drips down his cheeks, his neck, his collarbones. He looks like something from a dream - soaked, flushed, a little wrecked already. I am pretty sure I have never seen anything hotter in my life. 
“You are so fucking beautiful.” I say before I can stop myself.
He raises an eyebrow, surprised, but clearly not complaining. His hands slide up to cup my face, warm and sure. And then he kisses me - soft at first, then deeper.
I melt into it. My hands wander across his chest, down his back, gripping where I can. His body is all tension and heat and I want more. We move back and forth together in little, clumsy steps, bumping into the shower wall, holding onto each other like it’s the only thing keeping us upright.
His touch grows bolder - over my sides, across my breasts. I gasp when he grazes my nipple with the flat of his palm. Then his hands grab my ass and he uses it to pull me tighter against him, making me whimper into his mouth.
We stumble again, his back hitting the wall. He chuckles against my lips, lets me have the upper hand for a second and fuck do I enjoy it - until he spins us around. Now it’s my back pressed to the cold stone and I moan at the contrast, at the way his body warms mine again a heartbeat later.
His hands explore, mouth everywhere, until finally he stops. Breaks the kiss to look at me - really look at me. There’s something questioning in his gaze, but also teasing, a kind of quiet dare.
My heart is pounding. I’m so ready I could scream.
I don’t say anything. I just take his hand and guide it down.
He laughs softly, the sound hot against my ear and then two fingers move between my folds. Massaging on each side of my clit, his eyes still on my face. I hold onto him like he’s the only solid thing in the room.
Water is everywhere now - on our skin, in our hair, down our necks.
I want him undone too. I need that.
One of my hands slides down his body, wrapping around his cock and he groans my name. I stroke him - slowly - and his body jerks just slightly, the tension in him shifting.
We keep kissing like we’re still starving for it. Like this isn’t enough and somehow too much. The shower, the water, our bodies - it’s all messy and overwhelming and perfect.
“I want you so badly. Please… I just need to finally have you.” Jiyong’s lips brush against my ear, his voice ragged and low, each word catching slightly on his breath. For a second I debate whether I can still speak  - my mouth is open, panting, heat pulsing through me in waves.
“Then have me.” I breathlessly whisper, eyes meeting his. “Just… I really need you to fuck me.”
The phrasing catches him for a second - I see the flicker in his eyes, the way something lights up behind them. His gaze sharpens, lips parting like he wasn’t expecting me to say it like that. But he recovers fast. Kisses me hard, one more time, then reaches for the shower handle without even looking.
The water shuts off with a thunk.
And then -
He lifts me.
Strong arms wrap around me and suddenly I’m in the air, legs automatically around his waist, his hands steady under my thighs. He’s not the buff kind, but he’s determined, focused, breathing hard against my neck as he carries me the short way to the bedroom.
My feet hit the floor again just before the bed, walking backwards with him in a blur of wet skin and gasps until the backs of my knees meet the edge.
I fall back onto the mattress, the sheets catching my weight. Everything is damp - my hair, my skin, the air between us. I don’t care.
For a split second, he just looks at me, laid out like that - flushed, dripping, eyes wide, needy for him. Then he climbs over me, crawling up my body.
His fingers slide through my tangled hair at the back of my head, as he aligns himself, forehead almost touching mine. When he pushes inside, I can’t hold back the sound that leaves me - not a scream, not a moan, something in between. I bite down on my lip but it doesn’t help. Jiyong grits his teeth, breath stuttering as he sinks into me.
It’s almost too much - too good, too real. My hands scramble across his back, pulling him closer, dragging him down. His hips rock forward and I gasp again.
“Shit…” I breathe and he just presses his face to my neck, mumbling something that sounds like my name.
His pace is slow at first. It feels like he wants to feel every second of this - and I do too. Every inch, every movement, every sound.
He kisses me again, desperate and messy, one hand gripping the side of my thigh while the other supports his weight beside my head.
When I arch into him, chasing the friction, he gets the message. His thrusts grow deeper, filling me in a way that makes my whole body tense and tremble.
“Daisy…” he groans my name again and it’s the best thing I have ever heard.
My nails rake across his shoulders and down his spine, trying to keep myself tethered as heat builds low in my belly.
“Don’t stop.” I whisper. “Please don’t stop.”
He doesn’t.
But I can see it in his face - how close he is, how much effort it takes not to let go. His jaw is tight, his breath ragged and his hands grip me harder.
Without thinking, I shift - one hand on his chest, the other bracing myself against his shoulder as I push up slightly. He notices the movement and lets go of my thigh to give me space, though I can tell he doesn’t quite know what I’m doing.
Neither do I.
But then I end up on top op him, in his lap. He wraps his arms around my waist, steadying me, keeping me from falling backwards into the pillows. I reach between us, guide him back into me and gasp into his mouth as I sink down again.
The angle makes everything sharper - deeper. I can ride him like this, set the rhythm, tilt my hips just right to chase what I need. We’re both close, both breathing hard, chasing that final crash. His hands grip my ass, helping me move, pulling me down onto him as he thrusts up in return. My arms are wrapped around his shoulders, clinging tight for balance as I use what I have left in me to bounce on him.
We try to kiss but can’t - mouths not quite connected - because we both need the air and can’t help getting louder. 
When I finally come undone he has just slammed deep inside of me. I only hold on long enough to see his face dive into pure bliss, then I can’t take it anymore and let my face fall to his shoulder. I moan, helpless and shaking, clutching onto him.
He follows moments later. I feel him twitch, hear him gasp my name, feel the way he presses up into me one last time and holds me there as he comes. We’re both trembling. I can feel his heart beating fast under my hands and mine isn’t much better. It takes a moment for either of us to breathe again properly - we just hold each other, still locked together, the room spinning softly around us. His grip around me is shaky, but I know he won’t drop me. I meant it when I said that I trust him yesterday.
Eventually, I sit up a little straighter, one hand resting in the crook of his neck so I can look at him properly. Ji’s eyes meet mine, mirroring everything I feel - wonder, exhaustion, contentment… and maybe just a little bit of overwhelm.
“Baby…” he murmurs, voice low and warm and fuck, I already know I won’t get enough of him calling me that. I answer with a kiss, soft and slow, my other hand holding his face for a second. We’re both smiling by the time we pull apart.
“Shit, if it’s always like this, we won’t get much work done anymore.” I murmur when I finally find my breath again. He giggles, light and real. I think we both know it won’t always be like this - not every time. But still. Damn. That was good.
I sink back into his arms and he presses a gentle kiss to my shoulder as we wrap ourselves around each other.
Right now, I feel invincible.
We stay like that for a good while, his hand lazily tracing circles on my lower back. I’d gladly close my eyes if it weren’t for the creeping cold making my body start to shiver. We’re still… well, very wet.
When Jiyong notices, he sighs and gently lifts me off his lap and there's the tiniest flash of pride in his eyes when I shudder at the loss of him inside of me. He rummages through his nightstand, then hands me a single tissue.
I laugh. “I think… that won’t be enough. We need towels.”
He slowly nods and slips out of the room while I rub my face with my hands. God, the water, the mascara... I hope I didn’t look like something out of a horror movie the whole time. When he comes back, he brings towels and a bottle of water. He helps me first, dabbing my cheeks. “Glorious mess.” he murmurs when he notices I’m feeling a little embarrassed. I smile and let him wrap a towel around me once I’ve cleaned up a bit and he does the same for himself. I flop back into bed with a satisfied sigh, finally warm, pulling the blanket up over me as well.
Ji sits at the edge of the bed, tossing the used towels onto his nightstand, but then he just... stares into the open drawer. I open my arms to invite him back in. “What?”
He clears his throat, hesitant. “Uhm… I just realized… we didn’t… like… I guess I forgot to… wrap it?”
It takes me a second, but then I realize what he’s looking at. I don’t even need to see the box of condoms to get there. That slow, ice-cold shower trickles down my spine.
Oh. Fuck.
We are idiots. Actual idiots.
“How did we not think of that…” I mutter, already feeling my stomach drop.
Ji looks frozen for another moment, then over at me.. “Are you… I mean, are we okay in terms of…?”
“Birth control” I say quickly, nodding. “We’re good.” That earns a soft exhale of relief from him.
“Uhm… and when was the last time you had sex?” I ask, voice low. I hate for this conversation to happen right now when I didn’t care before, but I’d rather get it over with than wonder.
He presses a hand to his face. “Months ago. But protected. And I’ve been tested since.”
Honestly, I’m a little relieved. It’s not “like, two weeks ago” while I was pining over him. Good.
“You?” he asks gently.
“Over a year.” I say.
He nods again and finally lies down beside me with a long sigh. “Sorry. I should’ve remembered. That sucks.”
“I didn’t think of it either” I say honestly. “I was so out of it…”
Yeah. He was there. He knows what I mean.
The little flare of awkwardness lingers for a beat, but not long. My good mood creeps back in with every second that passes. I smile and lean over to kiss him.
“It’s fine. We got away with it. And… it was still perfect. Like… so much better than I ever let myself imagine.”
He raises a teasing eyebrow. “Did you think it wouldn’t be good?”
I roll my eyes. “No… I was just nervous. And I spent way too long wondering what it would be like.” A blush - of course I do - but he just looks completely flattered. He wraps both arms around my waist, pulls me back against him and murmurs into my ear “Same. I thought about it a lot. The shower wasn’t what I pictured… but I really liked it.”
We snuggle for a while longer, sipping water and letting our bodies slowly settle. Eventually, I sigh and force myself to get up. I know I should at least pee. Responsible post-sex behavior and all that if the pre-part was already lacking.
In the bathroom, I try to tame my half-dried hair in the mirror. The place is a mess - water everywhere - but I let it be and sneak back into bed with him.
Soft sheets. Warm skin. Aching body (the good kind).
Yes. Yes. Yes.
“Very good first date. Very well planned, very well executed.” I murmur, closing my eyes for a moment, my head resting on Ji’s shoulder.
“Honestly, didn’t take you for the kiss-on-the-first-date type.” he replies, trying to sound serious, but I burst out laughing right away.
“Well, technically I made you wait ten years, so call me a prude or whatever.”
“Fair point.”
I feel his fingers brushing gently across my cheek, so I open my eyes again. He’s smiling at me.
“Are you happy?” he asks.
I nod slowly. “Very. You?”
His smile stretches even wider as he nods - once, twice, then again - still nodding as he leans in and kisses my cheek.
Sleep starts to settle in not much later. It’s just too damn comfortable with him.

so all you need to do right now is disappear.
HHHHAPPY ISATVERSARY EVERYONE. here’s redraws for every single battle cg in the game. 36 drawings this time around, with 11 of those being custom (though admittedly a good portion of those are edits). combined with the portrait redraws i made back in september, i’ve made 114 redraws for this project! jesus christ! just like those redraws, these are completely free to use!! as long as i’m credited and it’s not for commercial purposes, go wild!! do whatever you want!!!
no i didn’t make these for isat’s 1 year anniversary this is just wildly good timing.
i genuinely can’t fit all of these cgs in one post even with the 30 image limit on browser, but i’ll still try to fit Most of them below the cut (without making this post horrifically long), along with some notes that might be important 👍
okay! once again, i labeled all of the custom art as such in the drive(UPDATE. NNOT TRUE ANYMORE. reformatted file names to be easier to mod in auau. apologies!), but if you want a full list, the customs are hatless siffrin jackpot, bonnie jackpot, bonnie special attack, bigfrin attack, and a bunch of alts which are definitely not related to any projects i’ve been thinking about don’t worry about it. and out of those customs, only like. 3 of them are actually completely from scratch.
while i did my absolute best to keep the aspect ratios completely the same as the originals, there’s 3 exceptions that i just couldn’t get to work.
isabeau’s hair in his special attack cg wouldn’t fit in frame if i kept things completely accurate to the og, so i moved his cg down a bit. it shouldn’t cause any issues with modding or anything, it’ll just appear slightly lower than it does in game. alas…
isabeau’s sleeve and mirabelle’s hair made their jackpot sprites a little larger than the originals? i’m hoping this doesn’t have too much of an effect (since the jackpot sprites have inconsistent sizes) but i can’t test this myself unfortunately. aaa feel free to let me know on discord if any problems arise!!
i managed to fix these, so they aren’t going to cause problems now, but my original drawings for mirabelle and siffrin in the final attack scene were a pain in the ass to fix. mirabelle’s sprite was slightly too talk to fit in frame and siffrin’s hat whacked bonnie in the face while i was editing everyone together. i’m only mentioning this because it took like an hour and a half to fix them and finish the scene.
all that aside, these were a fucking BLAST to work on. apparently this ended up taking 57 hours over exactly 10 days. which is a little worrying if you do the math on that but somehow i have not burnt myself out. i will be doing enemies at some point!!! but probably not for a little bit. i think my friends will actually kill me if i don’t take a break.
once again, happy birthday isat. you’ve ruined my life and i wouldn’t have it any other way (silly).
also, on an actual serious note, this little timeloop game has genuinely changed my life for the better? you guys are probably sick of hearing it at this point (or maybe not, i don’t talk about myself That Much. i hope), but i was practically a ghost for about 2 years before joining this fandom. it’s a little surreal to suddenly have friends (plural!!!) and people who Care about me, or even know i exist, honestly. it’s weird!! in a good way!!!
i don’t think i would’ve ever come back to social media if this community wasn’t so welcoming. i’ve met a lot of really great people through this game!!! so, uh, thank you isat, i guess. here’s to another year.

can u do a lando x reader where she gets along well this his family and he cant help admire her and think about marriage and stuff like that. thank youu <3
WHAT IF IT WAS 4EVER?,LANDO NORRIS.
→ Summary: You went to spend a lazy Sunday at his parents' house with his family.
→ Warning: Mention of Reader. Fluff. Romance.
→ Author's note: Please make me more requests from him! I love writing about him.
And sorry if there are mistakes, English is not my language.I hope this is what you asked for!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Norris house smelled of lavender, fresh coffee, and baking banana bread. It was one of those lazy, overcast Sundays when everyone wore sweatshirts and spoke softly so as not to break the spell of comfortable silence.
Lando sat on the edge of the kitchen table, his long legs stretched out in front of him, watching a scene that had been repeating itself for a few weeks, but it seemed like the kind of routine he wanted to have forever.
She.
In the kitchen with her mother, laughing easily as she cut fruit, grabbed too many cups at once, and stole spoonfuls of raw cake batter. She got along so well with everyone—as if she had grown up there, as if she already knew the exact places for the cutlery, the favorite smell of his sister's tea, his father's silly jokes.
“Do you think she’ll accept?” Flo’s quiet voice brought him back to reality. She was standing next to him, drinking a cappuccino.
“Accept what?”
“You.” Flo raised an eyebrow. “With that silly look on your face, you’re going to propose to her tomorrow.”
Lando let out a muffled laugh, but inside… she was right.
He looked again.
She wasn’t just beautiful. She was warm, she was light. She was “stay in bed for five more minutes”; she was the kind of hug that could calm any storm. She had a way of smiling that made people stop talking just to keep looking.
And the scariest thing?
She liked his family. She really did. It wasn't an effort, it wasn't out of politeness. It was genuine.
When his mother mentioned the old dress from her youth, she asked to see it. When his father mentioned old cars, she asked. When Cisca teased Lando, she laughed knowingly. Everything with her was natural. Nothing forced.
Later, when lunch was over and everyone was sprawled on the couch with dessert plates on their laps, she laid her head on Lando's shoulder and began to play with his fingers.
“Your family is wonderful,” she said softly, so that only he could hear.
Lando swallowed hard. His heart was beating faster than on a starting grid.
“You are wonderful,” he replied.
She smiled against his skin. But then she straightened up, sitting back down.
“You seem strange. Are you okay?”
“Okay.” He ran a hand over his face. “I’m just… trying to figure out how I ended up here. On this couch. With you. Feeling like… this is it.”
“What is this?”
He looked into her eyes, and even though he was afraid of appearing too intense, he didn't hold back.
“That’s it. Me, you, my family. The sound of the rain outside. You making tea for my mother, playing with my sister. Me wanting time to stop. That’s it.”
She didn't say anything for a few seconds. But she took his hand and squeezed it tightly.
“I feel it too. And if it comforts you, it also scares you a little.”
Lando smiled, a shy smile, different from the ones he gave to photographers or on podiums. It was that smile that only she knew. The real one.
“It’s not fear of failure,” he confessed. “It’s fear of not being enough. You…you are so many things.”
She laughed, looking at him with that sparkle in her eyes that made everything seem easy.
“So we do it together. And you’ll see: what you take from life... is this.”
When everyone went to sleep and only the two of them were left in the room with the movie paused and the lights dimmed, she dozed off with her legs over his. Lando didn't have the heart to wake her up. He stayed there, running his hand through her hair, watching her serene and sleepy expression.
And it was in that moment — simple, calm, without anything extraordinary — that he knew for sure.
It wasn't the highest podium he wanted to reach.
It was her.
That was it.
It was all that.
And if he ever had the courage, he would tell her that he thought about asking for her hand right there, with her hair spread out on his lap and the muffled sound of the rain through the window.
But for now, Lando was content to kiss her forehead and promise, with all his heart:
“I will make you happy. Every Sunday. Forever, if you let me.”

not to break your heart and make you sad but how do you think dad spencer wouldve coped in prison away from his kid(s)
girldad!spencer strikes again.
spencer would not cope well in prison. at all.
his mind would be consumed by thoughts of his daughter. the idea of missing out on her life, of leaving you to raise her alone, would eat at him constantly.
he’d feel physically ill, every time he remembered he wasn’t there to tuck her in at night.
when you visited, you’d bring him drawings she made for him. he’d try so hard to keep it together, but the second you handed them to him, his breath would hitch. he’d hang them up in his cell, but every time he looked at them, his eyes would burn.
they were his only comfort, yet they also reminded him of everything he was missing.
you’d never bring her to see him in prison, and he’d never ask you to. the thought of her seeing him behind glass, in a jumpsuit, surrounded by guards, it would destroy him.
he’d rather she remember him as the man, the one who carried her on his shoulders and read her stories, not like this.
at home, she’d ask about him. "where’s daddy?" 
you’d kneel down, brushing her hair back, forcing a smile. "he’s just working, honey. he’ll be back soon."
sometimes, you’d buy her a new toy or book and say it was from him, just so she wouldn’t forget how much he loved her.
he’d write her letters, pages and pages of them. filled with bedtime stories, silly jokes, and promises of all the things they’d do when he got home. when you read them to her, she’d giggle, hugging the paper like it was him. and when you visited spencer, you’d recount every detail, how her face lit up and how happy she was.
the worst moments were the quiet ones.
lying on his bunk, staring at the ceiling, wondering if she was crying, if she was scared, if she even remembered his voice. he’d press his hands over his face, shoulders shaking, because the guilt was suffocating.
he keeps track of her age down to the hour. he knows exactly how old she is at any given moment.
“4 years, 7 months, and 6 days,” he’ll murmur to himself like a mantra, over and over.
he re-reads her letters and drawings until the pages are worn. he knows every scribble, every crooked heart by memory. sometimes he traces the lines with his fingertip, pretending her tiny hand is in his.
he dreams about her constantly. sometimes it’s her running into his arms in the backyard. sometimes it’s a nightmare, her calling out for him and he can’t reach her.
he tries to teach her through his letters. little lessons disguised as stories: "did you know butterflies taste with their feet?"
he wants her to always feel like he’s still guiding her, even from far away.
he imagines your life at home constantly. he pictures you making her breakfast, tying her shoes, buying her new dresses. he imagines you brushing her hair the way he used to, and he can’t decide if it makes him feel better or worse.
he feels crushing guilt. even though it wasn’t his fault. even though you tell him every visit: “you did nothing wrong.”
he still blames himself. for leaving you to do everything alone. for leaving his daugher to grow up without a dad. even if it was just for 3 months.
you’re his anchor. your voice. your smile during visits. the way you tell him stories, “she made a new friend at school.” the way you never stop believing in him. he’d fall apart completely without you.
he can’t let go of the image of her the day before he was taken away. whatever she was wearing, whatever she said. he plays that day over and over. he didn’t know it would be the last time he tucked her in for who knows how long. if he had, he would’ve held her longer.
he swears he’ll make it up to both of you one day. he doesn’t know how, or when, but in his mind, he builds a future where you’re together again.

𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡, 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮!
you were invited by your soccer star boyfriend to a blue lock event and there’s a little photo booth! how does that go?
➸ ft! isagi yoichi, bachira meguru, nagi seishiro, mikage reo, itoshi rin, itoshi sae, chigiri hyoma
a/n: kept on seeing cute couple photo booth pics on pinterest so if i have to suffer so do you <3 | also! all reference pics are fem bc that's what saved on my pinterest but no gender is specified here :)
Tumblr media
isagi yoichi
Tumblr media
he’s the one who spots it and asks if you want to go
sweet as always and more than happy to do it with you
thinks you’re cute when you lead him there hand in hand
the two of you spend 5 minutes going through pinterest looking for cute poses to copy
each pic is perfect and no retakes are needed, nails every inspo
10000/10 literally the cutest couple photos ever
you’re tempted to go again but you push that thought aside for now since the event is gonna start right about now
when the 2 photostrips develops you look at him with a cheeky grin
“you’re so boyfriend coded babe”
he gets sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck with pink cheeks
but he recovers quickly and kisses one of your own
“only for you”
your smile softens
“let’s come back to take some more later”
“of course!”
bachira meguru
Tumblr media
doesn’t even tell you where he’s going and drags you by the wrist, a grin on his face
the next thing you know you’re squished in with him in the booth and he’s already selecting all the settings
the first picture is normal, the two of you close together with you leaning on him a bit
then bachira starts making goofy faces and the screen captures the pic with you mid laughter
it’s a bit shaky but it’s very you two
the next one you join him in making a silly face at the camera and then for the final one, it’s you two making a silly face at each other
you can’t help but laugh once the picture summary comes up, but regardless, you ask if he’d like to retake anything
he only grins and steals a kiss
he laughs when you get a bit red and pokes your cheek
what a little shit
“nah, don’t need to, they’re perfect”
nagi seishiro
Tumblr media
(okay these ones are from my camera roll from playing love and deepspace LOL)
doesn’t react when you start tugging him to go somewhere
it’s routine now really, you pull and he follows
it’s less of a hassle that way
complains a bit when he has to get inside the booth because he’s just so tall
“do we have to? can’t we just…take pictures on your phone?”
you ignore his complaints to mess around with the settings and he watches you quietly
he cooperates for the most part, his face mostly indifferent but he indulges you
he throws up a lazy peace sign for one, holds you close, lets you cling to him, yk just casual boyfriend things
in the last pic you notice how he’s staring at you instead of the camera and you feel your heart warm up just a bit more
he yawns when you both exit the booth and he stares at his copy of a pics before slipping it into his pocket for safe keeping
keeps you extra close for the rest of the night
“...i guess it was worth the hassle”
mikage reo
Tumblr media
this man is on it
had a whole ass pinterest board of cute couple photobooth inspo pics all ready waiting for the day you both stumbled across a photo booth
you teased him for it which made him sputter
“im trying to be romantic here!”
in the end you both agreed on doing the poses from IU’s “Love wins all” MV with Taehyung since you both were pretty dressed up for the event
literally couple goals reo was so proud
literally took the two photostrips and held them up with the smuggest look on his face
“i think someone owes me an apology”
you roll your eyes, but it’s playful because the pictures did look really good after all and you had fun too
it’s hard not to have fun when your boyfriend is the mikage reo after all
you press a kiss to his cheek after murmuring a soft thank you
his smile softens and he pulls you close by your waist
“of course, anything for you”
itoshi rin
Tumblr media
says no but finds himself in the booth anyways
rin wonders how this became his life and he looks at you picking out all the settings and then he remembers why
tbh is just there when the actual taking pictures part is happening
you’re the one doing all the work and he’s like a grumpy cat
a cute one, but grumpy nonetheless
but despite all that, he lets you do whatever, pulling him close to you by the neck, squishing his cheeks, anything you please
but for the last one, in the last 5 seconds of the countdown he goes, “hey”
obviously you look at him and you squeak when his lips meet yours and then the countdown is over and the pic is taken
when he pulls away and sees your red face, a small smirk makes its way onto his face and he simply gets out of the booth to wait for you outside
not too long later, when you recover from that little stunt of his and walking away together, you tease him about wanting to kiss you
he tchs and looks away but does nothing when you hang onto his arm
“...you’re annoying”
“whatever you say rin rin!”
“never say that again”
itoshi sae
Tumblr media
sae didn’t really have a reason to be here, not really but he was there at the blue lock event anyways
the only thing making it bearable was that he was allowed a plus one
if he had to suffer, at least you’d be there too
although he probably could’ve told you about it a bit sooner and time to prepare
you were a little annoyed obviously, but you seemed fine and he thought that was that
no it was not
your little way of getting some sort of vengeance was dragging him into the photobooth
sae deadpans bc why did a blue lock event even have this anyways
“fine, just once”
and for half of them, he’s looking at you instead of the camera
you keep both copies in your purse for safe keeping but when you get home later, can’t find the other one and ask him about it, he tries to gaslight you into thinking you only printed one copy and just being clumsy by remembering wrong
you see right through it anyways and have the biggest shit eating grin on your face
“itoshi sae you have the other copy don’t you?”
“...i don’t”
“sae”
he’s lucky he’s pretty
chigiri hyoma
Tumblr media
is totally down
but takes like 5 minutes fixing his hair using the mirror attached to the side of the booth
“hyoma your hair is literally already styled because of the event”
“don’t rush me”
you don’t use any reference pictures and just go with the flow but they turn out really good anyways
your boyfriend seems to think so too and doesn’t let you leave and instead selects all the settings to go again
“looks like someone is excited”
“shut up, the countdown started again”
chigiri is just naturally photogenic so you can’t help but stare at all the pictures after they’re printed, but you also look back and forth between them and him
you’re not being subtle so he takes the chance to teasing you but you manage to turn it around
“i was just thinking that you look better in person”
“wha–”
you stick out your tongue at him playfully and with faint red cheeks, he sighs but it’s fond
the photo booth at this event kickstarted your shared new photo booth pic collection together
Tumblr media
a/n: lowkey had this sitting in my drafts for a few days...it was completed but yall finding pictures was hard (i know looking at pictures on pinterest inspired this was but it was still hard) and formatting is sucky too but BAH i hope yall liked this anyways <3
as always, reblogs and shares are appreciated! i hope you all stay safe! and just in case nobody told you they loved you today, i love you! you are enough! <3
writing belongs to me! please do not plagiarize, repost, or translate on here or any other sites!

I don't know if you're getting a request, but I have a request. Do you remember your post about how mushitarou and ango could be a father of a girl or a boy? Can you make the dazai and Fyodor version of that post?
Reread that post. I say bro so often, what is wrong with me?
Tumblr media
Fyodor (girl dad)
Given that he is Russian and an old freak, he probably spoils the hell out of his daughter. But is also very strict - perfect grades, must learn 3 languages and play 3 instruments, and has to know how to shoot a gun perfectly.
I think he shows affection, but because he is just used to being manipulative, their relationship might be strained
He's not one to play games with his children. he's kind but he simply carries a serious energy; his daughter learns philosophy at a very young age thanks to this
doesn't mean he cant have fun. I think he would enjoy the silly things she makes, like friendship bracelets. he will keep it on for life I swear
Good chance she will turn out like him. Don't argue with her, it's like trying to argue with a lawyer. Fyodor is undeniably proud of this though
I think that he would let her get away with being a total bitch quite often. He has limits, but he also just can't take her complaints seriously. For him it's like a chihuahua trying to be a guard dog
Doesn't matter if she's 4 or 34, he sees no difference. It's never something worth taking seriously for him
Due to his age and experience, I think he would be freakish about some things. Like there is a 0% chance that he would let her have a boyfriend, and all of her friends would have to be vetted through him
I don't think he would really introduce her to the 'normal' world - he's lived for centuries, so he's seen empires and their laws fail time and time again. In his mind, there is no 'normal', since that definition can change quickly. he does no expect her to have children nor does he expect her to be married. but that might also be because he can't picture anyone being worthy of marrying his daughter
He also wants her to be able to defend herself. If she has an ability then he's even more concerned; that's probably his worst nightmare as a parent
If her mother is in the picture I think that would cause his relationship with his daughter to be even more strained. I don't think he would be an active father, since distance might be the best way to protect them
Fyodor knows more about his daughter than she knows about him. just a fact.
Nikolai might be an 'uncle' to her. Or at least somewhat active in her life.
Gonna be honest, I think Fyodor would make her think that he's a better person than he really is.
If she ever gets involved in the world of crime and abilities like he is then 100% he is stalking her every move and will be there to protect her if necessary. Is it weird? yes. but he's just being a dad.
I dont think his daughter would ever fully know him as a person. then again, does Fyodor even know himself?
Boy dad
If you thought he was strict before, then now it's even worse
He knows what he is capable, so he would expect the same from his son. Which is dangerous, because Fyodor knows the extent of his own crimes
Not to say that he doesn't love him. No, he obviously does
but there is a high chance that they would not get along together. even though his son might be exactly like him; smart, manipulative, and a little crazy. perhaps they're just too similar.
his son will likely be a total mama's boy. I just feel it in my bones.
it would be cute when he's young, but once he's older Fyodor would start to hate it. perhaps because he wont have full control over him
I feel like in general Fyodor would struggle to be a good parent to his kids; they know too much about him, and because of that, they don't fall easily for his tactics. They are his strongest enemies
A positive; Fyodor would have the same hobbies as his son. And it's one of the best ways for them to bond. catch them playing some songs together and you'll understand just how they're related
I think Fyodor wouldnt view his son as an equal unless proven wrong. He has high expectations, which would likely strain their relationship
he loves him though. but i think because he's so aware of his own cruelty that he almost lives in fear of someone just like him. almost.
Tumblr media
Dazai (girl dad)
He'd struggle. like, a lot
Unlike Fyodor, who doesn't take his daughter too seriously, Dazai 100% would
to a scary amount. like, she might threaten to stop talking to him ever again because she's 4 and having a tantrum and it might actually cause Dazai to have a breakdown. good luck getting them both to calm down
Fatherhood might actually kill Dazai. because he hates himself and he would be convinced all the time that his daughter hates him
Is it healthy? no. absolutely not
he'll gladly play along with her games though. he'd probably play along with her too well; he'd have his own dress and everything for tea parties. he also is a big fan of her 'girl' shows
are they good? absolutely not but its fun to tease her about it. unironically watches bad dramas with her
cried when she made him a bad drawing of them holding hands. its stupid but he never could picture someone calling him 'best friend' genuinely.
the agency is 100% involved with her life.
Kunikida would probably be more responsible for her then Dazai. doesn't mean he's a bad father, but I think Dazai would struggle with the simple childhood joys
The agency is like her second family; everytime she comes back from school she'll right there. she's a near permanent fixture in the office
She might want to grow up to be just like them. Dazai absolutely shuts this down; he dgaf if she has an ability or not. although she will continue to try anyway
Dazai has no idea how to encourage a child to be better though. I feel like Kunikida and Fukuzawa would encourage her to go through higher education more than Dazai would
while not always there, I think she'll be aware of the port mafia. Does she know Dazai's connection with it? one day yes, but by god does she never tell her father
He knows that she knows, but that conversation would probably be extremely difficult for him. I think there's a lot of "I know that you know" between them, but they're both too careful to do anything
if she starts a fight with him then it's an absolute nightmare for the both of them. I think his daughter might have a sense of hyper independence and will start to argue with him very early
They both get over it. eventually. but there would likely be a long period of where his daughter will know the right things to say to hurt him. Dazai knows to be better now, but he isn't sure of the right alternative.
there might be a chance that his daughter would have mental health issues like him. which is terrifying, and might be the one reason why Dazai tries to take care of himself more. It's not a good example for a kid to see their father try to drown himself afterall.
gonna be honest though I think Dazai would use his daughter as a way to connect with Odasaku. while she might not be an orphan, he'll find that he can understand the pain Oda went through before his death
That probably terrifies him even more honestly. because now he knows just how bad that feeling is. like it's the shit that keeps him up at night
but all in all, I think he would have a good relationship with her. they both can bury the hatchet at least.
Boy dad
I think it's mostly similar to raising a daughter
But it's just a little easier; he has experience in shaping young men, so at least when his son is older he knows he won't struggle so much
He is kind to his son. but also more distant
unfortunately a lot of his experience works with those who are already broken. which means that there is likely a long period in his son's early years where he won't know the best answer to a person who never experienced the torture he did
there's a critical age in his son's life where they empathize with one another though. probably after a stupid breakup.
I think his son would make the bad mistake of assuming that his father knows nothing about his life or how bad he has it. which ends soon enough, but that doesn't mean it bridges the gap it caused
His son might end up more like Kunikida, which is both a blessing and a nightmare. a blessing because he is responsible and makes sure that his father is alive everyday, and a nightmare because he is far too capable as a person and can see Dazai's flaws as clear as day
There is a strange thing where his son is simply different from his father. Kind of like Atsushi, who wants to assume the best in people first. And will find that he cares little for romantic pursuits.
he might not care enough. Dazai knows how attractive he is, and his son certainly inherited it. but his son cares little for it, becoming rather serious and focused on his own pursuits
is it a bad thing? not necessarily. but its a tool to Dazai, one that's helped him time and time again. for him it feels like his son is throwing away opportunities that could only favor him
not to say that his son is incapable of manipulation. but he values the truth far more, which leads to him preferring to brute force his way through problems and situations
in a situation where Dazai would manipulate his way to the top, his son would simply slam the truth in front of him and expect everyone to follow the solution he sees as best
i can imagine it being very frustrating for them both. His son sees through his manipulation and Dazai knows that his son is right about how to solve his problems
its like telling a smoker that smoking is bad for them. its a constant struggle
they get along though. they have their differences but in the end of the day, dazai knows his son could survive without him and doesn't see the need to watch over him like a hawk

asks 2.
context.
here are some more asks i'm replying to in a bulk about phineas and ferb reader!!
Tumblr media
my favorite part in dc. vs vampires is when reader comes together with damian and damian to build a silly machine that un-vampifies people in like half a day so they can defeat the vampire king. it is canon.
Tumblr media
@amethystjellyfish
perry really is reader's number #1 stan. they're his family, reader's had him since he was a small platypus baby!
he does his best to keep reader safe, which is why he doesn't like the batfam much. he keeps it professional on the rare occasions they go on missions together, but that's it. he hates how dismissive of reader they are in the beginning, and he hates them later on when they star showering them with attention because they found out about their inventions.
Tumblr media
not tired, anon! i love seeing people enjoy my concepts and interact with them!! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
and i'm sure this has happened. more than once, actually. the power of coincidence is strong with reader. the life-saving laser beam comes from a situation involving reader's latest machine they built and tested with the help of jon.
unfortunately, one of his lasers richochets on the machine during testing, not only causing it to save batfamily's life, caught in a dangerous situation in a completely different location, but also destroys the machine so there's nothing to link it to reader.
ah, well. they'll just have to keep looking.
Tumblr media
reader, seeing them run past her: oh! there's perry :)
i love how we have established tim is terrified of this platypus. nevermind the other pets in the manor, it's the platypus with its googly eyes that drives him insane. they don't get it, he got up to drink water at 3 a.m. and the thing was just there, looking at him. menacingly.
jason would though. meanwhile, perry is wishing he could just go back to metropolis. he didn't have to deal with reader's siblings in metropolis. he doesn't get enough hazard pay for this.
Tumblr media
hm... good question!
i like to think that, much like with phineas and ferb, luck is on reader's side most of the time, so i don't see reader getting injured by their own inventions.
but, let's suppose they do: it's a nice sunday afternoon, the batfam has decided to gather around the living room and hang out, watch a movie, lots of popcorn and soda. they don't have to think about criminals or fighting, tim and damian are bickering, jason is around, peace reigns the manor.
until they hear an explosion. they run to the garage only to find reader on the floor, unconscious, bleeding, and an assortment of destroyed metal components to a machine they can't decipher. damian doesn't even feel good about reader finally being busted.
later, when reader is back home, awake and out of risk but with a bandage around their head and their leg in a cast, they're in for the biggest (and probably first) scolding of their entire lives. reader tries to play it off. it wasn't that big of a deal, they're fine, aren't they? and they're genuinely optimistic about it. but the entire family is talking over each other at first, until bruce signals for everyone to shut up and leave the room. he has a very serious talk with reader, and makes it very clear they're not to come near a toolbox ever again.
but he understands. it's partly his fault for not being attentive. he won't make that mistake again.
ofc reader is really upset. dick comes next, then stephanie, then cass, then duke, then barbara and they all try to convince reader in a much more amiable tone that hey, it's fine. who needs to do all that whacky stuff to have fun? just hang out with us. they can get another hobby, and this time they can make it a family thing! how's that sound? not fun? don't be like that... they're sure reader will come around.
tim is pretty much the only one who congratulates them for being awesome pulling all those stunts, one per day, it's impressive. but now it's time to step back a bit. who knows? try being careful and bruce will let you work with a welding tool again. one day. maybe.
damian and jason's reactions are more similar to bruce's. in other circumstances, damian is on reader's side and helps them sneak around to continue their shenanigans, but in the case of reader getting hurt he just wants them to not do that. any of that. ever again. and jason has to hold himself back not to snap and ask them what the hell were they thinking?! they could have died! he ends up just telling them to quit it. they're just a kid who shouldn't be messing around with that sort of stuff.
Tumblr media
anon, i wouldn't go as far as say he'd use venom against them, but he's bit batfam before. as stated, he does not dig their vibe at all!
Tumblr media
anon, that's a great idea! though i think p&f! reader is much too motivated by the creative process and experience that their inventions bring more than just willing them to come to life.
they have the power to create whatever they want, but what's the fun of it? what about hte process? the building? the friends they make along the way? the memories? i think reader would find the ring awesome at first, but the novelty would wear of in less than a week.
Tumblr media
anon...
Tumblr media
because i dig the idea of reader being friends with dipper and mabel. reader talks about their crazy inventions, and loves hearing about all the cryptids they came across during vacation.
reader invites the twins to the manor, they share their most recent summer memories. reader talks about that one time they built and drove a massive monster truck with their brother damian, but jason only comes into the room in time to hear about dipper and mable talk about the weirdmaggedon. he has several question marks around his head. aren't those kids a a little too old to be making shit up? or maybe... no, there's no way. or is there? no... he would have heard about this... but weirder things have happened. but what if...
Tumblr media
@randomlyappearingartist
you are so right. to be honest, i don't even think the batfam would even know of his existence, since he's pretty much a very minor villain acting in metropolis. after perry joins the league, or in the rare occasion of dr. doof teaming up with another minor gotham villian like condiment man, is when they get to know he exists.
and since perry seems to have him under control, they don't even acknowledge the guy.
Tumblr media
i love love love this sm!
they assume it's just flash mobs. it's got to be. flash mobs with really weird themes, like an entire musical number dedicated to the squirrels in damian's pants. that was strange. bruce patrolling in the middle of the night and this new crime lord just burst into a song with a band and hired back dancers, because it's apparently a new trend a minor villain in metropolis started.
and what about that one time dick took damian (and reader) to the library and some guy just started singing about how he doesn't have rhythm? and damian just started playing a trumpet? and reader started singing? i mean, it was a bop and he started dancing, but it was weird anyway.
but now i'm thinking of damian and reader singing the "summer" song together (he sings the "it's noticeably warmer" and that's it) though! wholesome.
Tumblr media
@lazyandannoyng
not annoying at all! you're good ⸜(˙꒳​˙ )
i have this little idea in my head that reader doesn't take the wayne name when find out bruce is their dad and move to gotham, and bruce is pretty secretive about this new kid of his for purely privacy and safety reasons. so when reader does their networking, it's often not obvious they're a wayne. not sure if this will make it into the fic, but it really resonates with this concept!
it's also funny to think that a lot of people don't even know reader and the waynes are related. even if they do know reader is related to the batfam, nobody really talks about them by name (just "your sibling"), and all of those little details like never asking about where the gloves came from (because why would he) or the misunderstandings where one party means one thing and the other assumes it's another (dick has many siblings! too many!) just end up helping reader not get caught. and i just think that's neat.

Pointing out little moments and details of scenes that need to be remembered.
lake scene • episode 6
before diving into it, bare with me! the lake scene wouldn't be the lake scene if it wasn't for edvin and omar fr: the uncut version of the convo wilmon has was 8 minutes long and all improvised when it was shot. edmar just got told to say what they thought wilmon wanted to say and boom! this lake scene happened. no one is doing it like them.
oh alice is the cherry on top - the 'oh alice we're growing up', the melody fits the setting and the warm colors just right. the perfect song for the perfect scene.
talking about song - wille's song was written right after this scene as lisa said: 'i could see simon walking back home that night, sitting down by his keyboard, birds singing outside, the sun already up and finally it dawning in him: it shouldn't be a revolution to love someone'. do what you want with this info!
without further ado, let's get into it :)
the little smirk after wille stumbles is cuuute. terms are not the best but it still takes something so simple to lighten the mood.
wille's carrying his blue blanket with him can only mean they went to his room to take it before heading here - and so in the time between scenes they talked and thought about the lake to forget everything, planned to bring a blanket to lie down on and enjoy the sunrise, just the two of them :')
Tumblr media
you can see the weight of the situation suddenly hitting him.
Tumblr media
it's so bittersweet - the lake has always been their happy place but the mood is much darker now, they're sharing what they think is the last big moment together at sunrise.
they try to keep the convo as light as possible but they know too well how much this hurts.
Tumblr media
the single tear streaming down.
the different reactions are what get me the most: wille seems almost relaxed in letting the emotions take over compared to simon who's very controlling over it - he blinks and bites his lip trying to stop more tears from falling, he averts his eyes.
simon's not so accepting whilst wille looks resigned.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the scene makes the best out of the limited time bc nothing feels rushed at all: there's no music at first to create that alone time intimacy properly and it keeps getting better with the camera focusing on the way they look at each other shot after shot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
wilhelm breaking the silence with it takes a fool to remain sane is the sickest thing isweartogod.
such a monumental and fond throwback. it's the first memory they have of each other but it's also the first one we have of wilmon too. it brings everyone back to that very first time.
Tumblr media
this shot is incredible. young royals will always hold a special place in my heart and i want to remember wilmon just like this.
Tumblr media
you would never tell they saw and touched and explored each other's body more than once by the way they're both so shy to undress and wilhelm has to tear his eyes away from simon.
they're still my favorite losers <3
it's also the first time simon undresses himself without wille's help. i think the essence is - to be completely bare and show the most vulnerable version of themselves, to get rid of all the layers and weights they carry around, to let it all behind for this one last time together.

the sparkle in simon's eyes when he looks at wille is so sweet. it's more of a bitter taste that comes with this scene, but in a list of moments that are a perfect example of how much they simply enjoy each other's company, this is definitely one of those - simon says 'when it was us it was good' at the end and it is very true.
all i see here is the plain and simple version of them, they feel so much and everything about this scene is telling us that they just needed to found the right place and the right time to let it out - the nostalgia, the sorrow, the sadness, the silly energy too. it's all so pure.
Tumblr media
'they undress, they walk down into the water naked, and they are rebirthed'. lisa once described this moment using these words and they're probably the most accurate. it reminds me of the thing i wrote earlier - taking the white clothes off feels like freeing themselves of every burden and then stepping into the water as a form of sanctification of it.
whether you see it in a religious or a non-religious way, it is a very beautiful image.
Tumblr media
the eye contact game is going stronger than everrr.
they're too pretty to be real ugh.
Tumblr media
the splash of water :')
Tumblr media
this is extremely beautiful and the transition between the two is perfectly made.
it's such a loving gesture - we can't really tell which one of the two is done before but it's the fact simon does it twice that matters: he follows the instinct to do it once but it's still not enough so he feels the need to do it again.
Tumblr media
this shot was one of the stills that came out for promo before the season's release and i remember being completely blown away by it.
i claimed it and said this scene would be one of the core ones of the show and well, i guess i was right!
Tumblr media
the whole water sequence is a visual representation of simon getting further and further away from wilhelm. both times he turns around to look at him tho - it's not what he wants to do but he has to do it for their sake.
also! one pov is from into the water and the other one is from the shore. idk if it's casual or hides an actual meaning but it's fun to point out sooo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
too many single tears were shed for my fragile heart to handle.
Tumblr media
this pretty much sums up the way i felt at the end too.
pain is written all over simon's face but i was not prepared for wille's sobs and his shoulders uncontrollably shaking. stab me.
Tumblr media
he just keeps watching simon slip through his fingers and he's left to wonder what's supposed to happen now?.
from wille's words - 'how can you just be over me? i thought it would be us' - we learn that he's convinced simon is already over them and he's alone in struggling to accept it and move on (oh if only he knew).
he breathes but this is more of a this is it sigh - now it's time for me to learn how to let him go.

KENMA RELATIONSHIP HCS
Tumblr media
gn!reader, timeskip mentions
Tumblr media
isn't a pda guy, but will fall asleep on your shoulder/rest against you as he games, and if you play with his hair, who's he to say no?
if you change your contact name in his phone, he keeps whatever it is, even if it's super silly or cheesy. like okay call "my honeybear darling angel 😚". he says it's because he's lazy but he does find it kinda cute/amusing
you cheer for kenma at practice in like, a sort of exaggerated way, like "gooo kenma!!! yeaahh!! let's go kenma!! kenma! kenma!" and he tries really hard not to look at you—not because he's annoyed, but because he doesn't want you to notice how red his face has gotten. his teammates point it out anyway
lol his team using you as motivation. "don't you want to impress them?" and kenma's like 😒😒 but gets up from the floor
kenma teaching you how to play his favourite (co-op) video games!! he's pretty patient and explains things well, so if you don't have a lot of gaming experience, don't worry too much ^^ buttt if you're competitive, get ready to Compete. he seems like someone who doesn't take it too seriously unless you start (jokingly) shit talking him
he'll try out any games you like too, even if it isn't something he'd pick himself. he doesn't really plan to when you're describing it, but then he thinks about it, or sees a post mentioning it, and the curiosity (And Affection 4 U :3) gets him
easily notices if you've gotten quieter/tired when you're out. if you're with a group, he'll tap your shoulder and offer his own, ask if you're alright, and or make up an excuse so you can both leave. if it's just the two of you, he's quick to find a place to rest for a while
he'll never make you join if you don't want to, but fans eat up any videos or streams with you—they make edits and compilations of you walking in during streams and everything. the amount of begging for a q&a and story time of how you met is crazydsjdhsj
chat is soo annoying about it too /lh "no they're not single," "i know they're out of my league," "yes they were my first subscriber," kenma telling you not to answer them when they ask if he's clingy, etc etc
! i think it'd be cute if you guys had matching phone cases, but his fans didn't know until you showed up with the other one. and they realize Just how much he has on that's matching you—the bracelet and necklace that they catch glimpses of under his hoodie, the hoodie itself from the same line as yours... yeah.
time for "he said no pickles." unless you also don't like asking/don't care,, then you guys can just take the pickles off together <3
^ if it's a serious mistake they made with your food, kenma's a lot more compelled to approach the counter.
would teach you about stocks. if you asked
mutual info dumping and yapping... he's very aware of how much he's telling you the first couple of times, but gets more comfortable when you do it back !
^ kind of guy to do his own research afterward. he makes a semi-obscure reference/joke the day after and you're like ???? Who told you that.
kind of boyfriend who hears you go "i want him" "wait why's this character kinda..." and isn't like, that offended or put off by it. says "understandable" (or questions your taste), but knows they're a character at the end of the day
quality time kind of guy. people know you're special even if they don't know you're dating because you can convince kenma to go to events or try something new when they wouldn't expect it. (obviously it's never something crazy out of his comfort zone, and it's probably because he knows you'd feel better with someone with you, but he's going all the same!!)
kenma isn't the best with receiving words of affirmation or gifts... he appreciates it, but gets awkward and doesn't know how to react ^^; you reassure him that he doesn't have to jump for joy or be super affectionate back—he shows his love in his own ways !
his gifts are very thoughtful. he gets you something practical, and then things that you've really wanted for a while. his cards aren't filled with long letters of adoration, but they're genuine and very much kenma. (+ having money in the timeskip doesn't mean he'd ever buy something expensive or flashy just because it might be 'easier.' it means he gets to buy you way more merchandise for your favourite media, paying the shipping fees that kept you away.)
you get him a super thoughtful (and maybe expensive) gift and he Lights Up. and then he's like ? you remembered / really paid that much ? really ? and he keeps smiling when he looks at it..
kenma coming downstairs with super bad bedhead and pouting when you snicker. but then he relaxes as you comb your fingers through to fix it
tying up his hair... a little ponytail or bun...
matching pajamas... or those fluffy headbands you wear to wash your face... he looks so silly and cute
university student kenma who walks in visibly irritated, and you know you're about to shit talk his group members or professor together.
late night breakfast. sitting in the kitchen eating bowls of cereal past midnight
! late night gaming sessions... and or sometimes you fall asleep waiting for kenma to finish, then wake up to realize he fell asleep at his desk. you have to coax him into bed after saving the game for him
very nervous during the first year you're together any time there's a holiday, especially valentine's day or your anniversary. he wonders if his plans and gifts are enough, not romantic enough, too boring, if you'd rather do something exciting, even if logically he knows you'll like anything he thinks up
sometimes you guys will just lie on the floor, stare at the ceiling together, and talk. maybe there's music, a game menu screen playing in the background, or you're just listening to the birds and neighbours outside. floor time is healing all the same
bleaching kenma's hair + him helping dye yours... timeskip where chat asks if you've done your hair recently because his hands have been stained :')
it's super easy to team up with kuroo to tease him but also ! teaming up to taunt and prank kuroo !! think of kenma laughing bright and loudly, eyes squinting and arms clutching his middle !! kuroo can't be that mad because he's happy someone else can get kenma this happy too

The silence is SO strategic!
To anybody who saw their interactions not only on the WT, but clips or pics of BTS of them goofing off or playing pranks on one another have to know (even people who don’t think they are together, like I do) that Nicola and Luke didn’t just stop interacting at work. They have been filming Bridgerton off and on for 9 months, as a newlywed couple who are happy with a baby. You know by the way they gushed in interviews at the SAGs about that baby (on set) that they have loved filming this season together.
They wouldn’t just stop interacting. The fact that they have continued to be silent is screaming at us that they are hiding something.
The last pic of the two of them that they have posted was their selfie back in October. We know how much Nic loves a selfie, and how (even though he doesn’t care for selfies much) Luke is ALWAYS eager and willing to take a selfie if it is with Nic.
Of course we saw that they took a selfie together at the SAGs, but I believe that they have taken SO many selfies between October and now.
Are we expected to believe that both Nic and Luke have changed so easily?
I know that people can and do change, but are we really to believe that not one, but both of them have done a 180 on so many things that they actually told us about themselves? Let’s take a look at those changes:
1. They both mentioned more than once in interviews that they like to keep their romantic relationships private. Nic has kept hers so private that there is no actual confirmation of her with anyone she has dated, only speculation. She lived with someone for 2 years and nobody publicly knows who that was.
Luke’s past girlfriends, while people did know who he dated and they were photographed together, he didn’t share much. He did however, let his girlfriends share pics of them. Those pics also showed a loved up couple. You could tell by Luke’s body language and his easy smile’s that he loved his past girlfriends.
You can have a private relationship, and it can still be known who you are dating.
Private is not secret.
So, are we expected to believe that not one, but both of them are no longer being private with their relationship’s? Both of them are just bringing their “SO’s” to events together? Luke, who has said he doesn’t like public displays of affection is just kissing his “girlfriend” in public??
It’s funny how they have both “hard-launched” their partners, and yet neither of them has verbally confirmed that they are dating their “partner”.
2. Nic and Luke have said in past interviews that they were best friends. They said that they have a beautiful relationship/friendship. Nic said her relationship with Luke was unlike any other relationship she had. They have both said they have a deep love for one another.
So many people are trying to say that Nic and Luke are beefing or that they are no longer friends. Why would they go from having such a close loving relationship to not being friends. Just because you are dating someone else (which they are not imo) doesn’t mean a beautiful, strong friendship that was built over 5 years would just fade or dissipate.
They have literally been filming Bridgerton together for the last 9 months. We have seen in bts footage and pics just how much they enjoy filming together and how much both of them love their Bridgerton family.
3. Nicola has posted pics every season they have filmed. She is always taking pictures. I think a lot of those pictures she keeps for private viewing. However, she has always posted random pictures or her and other cast members between scenes having fun and being silly.
She has not posted a single picture of anyone in the cast behind the scenes while filming season 4. Not a shot of her getting her hair done. Not a shot of them resting in between shoots. Not even Champagne Friday pictures.
The only picture we got, and the last one posted (by both Nicola AND Luke) was their selfie in October with “New Year, same hoodie”, as the Champagne Friday hoodie was laid over the front of Nicola.
At the time, it led me to believe that they were continuing Champagne Friday’s and that we would get more Champagne Friday pictures throughout.
I think that maybe the “New Year, Same Hoodie” was not a reference to Champagne Friday’s after all. I think they may have been put on hold. I don’t think that hoodie actually fit Nicola comfortably at the point of the picture being taken and I don’t think she could actually drink Champagne while filming this season.
I think in solidarity, the rest of the cast came up with a different Friday celebration since Nic was the one who stated Champagne Friday’s to begin with, and if she couldn’t participate, they didn’t want yo continue that tradition without her.
4. Even though Luke had no problem showing with past girlfriends that he actually liked them when someone snapped a pic of them, he had SUCH a hard time looking happy in pics with A for over a year (until we got the staged BAFTA pics, which really don’t count for me as they show a fake “happy” and Luke’s body language is still off in them).
Every bts video and pic of Nic and Luke , you can see the love they have for one another, you can see the way they both seem to glow when they are together. They can’t hide a natural reaction like that. It’s impossible to. I think they thought that it could be possible. I think that is why we got the videos and pics from the SAGs. I think that was them trying (and spectacularly failing) to hide their true feelings for one another from the public.
I think one reason Nicola has not posted any pics of their breaks in filming is that every pic taken of Nic and Luke shows just how much in love they are. It is not possible for them to not show that love when they are together.
I think a reason Nic didn’t post any pics from cast in between shoots is because everyone knows how many pics Nic has posted with Luke in them in the past. They would question more why Luke was not in pics than they would question no pics being posted at all. Nic couldn’t even post pics of just Luke because we would know who took the pic because of the way he looked at the camera.
So the silence on Nic’s end (as far as SM goes while filming Season 4)…it makes sense. I also think that filming Season 4 was a lot different for her. I think she got tired more easily because of the condition she was in and because of all of the changes in her life while filming this season. I think the season may have taken an extra month to film because they made some concessions for Nic.
I believe that both Nic and Luke are happier than ever though, and I believe soon that this silence will lessen.
We just have to continue to wait until it is the right time for them to tell us their truth.

Homicipher
Mr.Crawling ,Mr.Scarletella , Mr.Gap x GN reader
Trying to find lipsticks fluff ☁️
After a long day and pay day coming you decided to treat yourself and buy a lot of new make up. You couldn’t decide what lipsticks look best. So you decide to try them out with your fellow ghost partner.
Mr.Crawling:
At first he was confused at what you brought home. usually you bring some food home. But what are this new objects.
“Lipstick” sounded weird and looked funny. Is in fact not edible. :(
You put it on and the color appears on your face?? Very cool!
“This make me look pretty?” He always thinks you’re pretty! “Always pretty!” You look away from your mirror.
Then you tried another color! “This more pretty?” He was thought they both look beautiful on you. You giggle a little at his confusion.
You kiss him on the cheek with the lipstick. It seems it isn’t transfer proof as it claims.
You try another lipstick on. Another kiss on his nose. How can this claim their transfer proof if they still transfer!!
Many more lipsticks in different shades later and a Mr.crawling smitten after all the kisses later.
You laugh at how silly he looks and show him the mirror.
“Me many kisses you” you point out. He just giggles in adoration “many more me desire!”
Turns out it was transfer proof lipstick you just didn’t let it dry properly.
He has lipstick stains on his face even after removing the prints.
Loves ever second of attention from you.
Wants to return the favor and put lipstick to kiss you all over your face!
Mr.Scarletella
He sees you with a bag in hand. You pull out a tube. He usually seem you put it on after every body you dropped in his territory. But now he can see if up close
“Lipstick” you show him the tube. It’s the same color as his coat. He loves matching colors with you.
You put it on your lips “This make me pretty?” He nodded smiling seeing his color on you. “You pretty” You kiss his cheek leaving a red stain on his face. His eyes widening and a pink shade appearing in his face. He wants more!
“This more pretty me?” What are you talking about you’re always pretty? This man is down bad for you! “Always you pretty. Me not understand.” You laugh giving him another kiss on his forehead.
Conditioning him by accident. For ever you pretty a kiss with a different shade lipstick. His face was covered in kiss marks he loved ever second of it. You showed him his reflection. He loved it
Dose not want to take it off.
You kissed him. It’s showing your together. He likes you. You kissing and getting close is you two being together.
You end up taking the stains off unwilling to his dismay.
Every time he sees you pulling out lipstick he says “You pretty.” and waits for his kiss all while leaning down to you level.
His wrapped around your finger. Anything for a kiss. anything.
However don’t play with him he dose not like to be played around like that. He will stand on business.
Mr.Gap
He thinks it’s interesting. He has painted nails! He has been more times in the human world then another of the the other ghosts.
“This pretty?” You show him the color. He shrugs. He dosnt really care. “Can kiss you?”he doesn’t understand kisses; all he knows is that it makes him special. He likes to be special to you.
This man doesn’t understand or claims he doesn’t feel romance but also want to be special only to you. 
His just staring at you letting you perform the “kiss”
After the first kiss he stared at you and then disappears.
Comes back after a bit of time.
“Again” you do it again and he disappears
3-4 more times of the same thing before he stays there and lets you continue kissing his face all over
He says he doesn’t understand or maybe he doesn’t want to.
He just likes being special to you.
He is crusty will try his best to keep the lipstick marks. You will have to force him to remove them.
Will trade your stuff for a kiss, not often but will settle for a kiss if you don’t want to give your heart
Fair trades
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope yall enjoy! Ik it’s a bit OOC😔

FANFICTION CHAPTERS IN SHORT
Here you will find a summary of the chapters so far, so there will be spoilers. There may not be all of them so I'll add them from time to time.
Be warned.. spoilers!!!
Chapter 1: Introduction
The chapter begins with Lambert arriving to Camelliatown in a taxi. They are freshly graduated from university and they're moving to a new city to spend some time alone and learn how to be independent on their own, working at a "simpler" job while looking for some more close to their study's field.
Once they clean and fix their new home, after stumbling into a certain three eyed mean cat who told em to fuck off, they start giving their CV to several places. They find Ratau's coffee shop and manage to get hired after Midas quits the cafe after he wins the lottery. Lambert is happy about it even if they find out that mean cat works there and will be their colleague.
When they come back home and look outside the terrace they meet their new neighbor: Ratoo. They think he's similar to someone they've seen, but they don't know it's Ratau's older brother.
Chapter 2: Gerberas for the café
After facing some insecurities due their memories of struggling to fit in back in university, Lambert starts their first day of work at the Red Crown Café. They arrive pretty early and Ratau shows approval, then expresses frustration towards Narinder, revealing he always arrives late and sometimes never shows up, without even warning him beforehand. He hints at some issues the coffee shop had to went through after its best era, but refuses to elaborate, leaving Lambert confused. The sheep then gives him the idea of renovating the workplace aesthetically and they all agree on getting some flowers to decorate the entrance.
Lambert goes to the flower shop to buy the flowers Ratau gave them and they meet the owner, who is Forneus, who also sells handmade things in the same place. In fact Lambert lays their eyes on a green sweater and Forneus decides to keep it aside for them so they can buy it whenever they want.
When Lambert comes back they find Narinder, who is receiving a lecture from Ratau for his being late, and when they show the flowers they bought he acts mean. Things get worse when Narinder spits in the drink that was preparing to a customer and Lambert takes it away from him, pouring its contents in the sink. Angrily, Narinder drags them in the storage room and pims them on the wall, insulting them and what they're doing for the shop, but when Lambert takes a stand he fails to sustain his point when Ratau interrupt them awkwardly.
Lambert gets to know one of Ratau's friends: Klunko, who is silly and kind. He helps them placing the flowers the sheep bought in the vases and leaves a good impression on Lambert. When they come back home, they don't realize someone is watching them.
Chapter 3: Fake cigarettes
Ratau is visiting his brother's house before starting the day of work. He knows Ratoo is depressed and when he doesn't find him in any room, he starts to fear the worse, but thankfully when he checks the terrace he finds he simply fell asleep on a chair outside.
Lambert meets the Fox in the café while Ratau is in the bathroom, and the Fox, after introducing his character with politeness, he starts to insult them without apparent reason while they are preparing their order and they don't find the strenght to fight back. After the Fox leaves Narinder arrives and sees Lambert leaving the coffee shop in tears.
Lambert is crying on a bench not too far from the café, and when they see Narinder reaching them and trying to comfort them in his own special way, by telling them they should never let someone step on their feet just because someone is a customer, they are pretty surprised by it and starts seeing him under a different light.
After Lambert comes back to the café with Narinder and Ratau comfort them too, they get to know the rest of Ratau's friends and they end up playing cards together. Narinder seems to adore Shrumy.
At the end of the day Lambert has a nice conversation with Ratoo, who gives them advices on how to befriend the mean colleague. Anyways, the following day Lambert will visit a new city since Ratau suggested them to take a day off because of the stressful day they had to endure.
Chapter 4: Abandoned Necklace
Ratau wakes up in Shrumy's bed and panics because he remembers what happened the previous night. He finds him in the kitchen and, after Shrumy insists on Ratau staying to his place for the morning, failing, they have a lovely conversation while the turtle prepares his horrible coffee. Ratau starts to feel nostalgic, remembering about how it was to be with him, and when Shrumy notices it he starts to get bitter and kicks him out of his apartment.
When Narinder gets to the café to work, before Ratau arrives, he finds the vases flipped over and the plants are a mess. When the owner arrives and sees what happened he seems shocked, but pretends to not to know what and why it happened, belittling the event and looking suspicious in the eyes of Narinder.
After a calm morning, Lambert visits the nearby city, that is bigger. They get to buy a new dress, even if it isn't the one they wanted to get in the beginning, they visit a park and they find a LGBTQIA+ bookstore café, where they meet Heket, Leshy and Shamura. Lambert doesn't get a good impression of the first two, due Heket's coldness and Leshys nervousness, while they're visibly having a crush on Shamura.
The chapter and with Ratau meeting the Fox for mysterious reasons at night and with Lambert finding a moon necklace on the beach.
Chapter 5: Vanilla Extract
Narinder wakes up from an unpleasant and confusing nightmare featuring Shamura and start their day in a depressing way. When he arrives late at work and Ratau lies him Lambert being already here to make him feel guilty, he explodes and tries to stab him with a soft straw. Meanwhile Lambert is visibly in love because of Shamura and both Narinder and Ratau fear they're high. Lambert works in a very distracting way because of their crush, ending up to pour too much vanilla essence in someone's order.
During the day, Ratau understands Shrumy is trying to avoid him and the only way he manages to get the turtle's full attention is when he mentions the Fox. Meanwhile Narinder manages to manipulate Klunko into telling them why Ratau and Shrumy are having a weird time thanks to reverse psychology, so Klunko tell them about the fact they were a couple once but broke up several years ago due Ratau not telling his parents about his gay boyfriend.
After work Narinder drags Lambert away again, but to tell them about the fact he's sure Ratau is hiding something and that he wants their help to investigate. Lambert agrees but at one condition: to hang out so they could at least get to know each other a bit more. Narinder agrees, and then receives an unpleasant call from his landlord.
Chapter 6: Mushroom pizza
After moments of gender dysphoria, self hatred and ADHD syntomps, Narinder arrives late at the restaurant with Lambert, who forgives him for letting them wait so long. The two get to know the owner of the pizza place, Sozo, who Lambert learns he is now happily married with another man. Meanwhile, Narinder and Lambert seem to have a nice conversation: they joke around, tease each other, but for a reason or another Lambert hit the wrong nerve and manage to piss Narinder off, turning that pleasant, casual dinner into an awkward and depressing one.
When they are going to come back home they see Forneus being cornered and attacked by hooded people who want her money. Narinder is paralyzed from the fear, but when Lambert sees one of them pulling out the knife they vocally intervene, trying to stop them. They manage to distract them and Forneus flees, but this makes the criminals pretty angry and start to chase them and Narinder. During the flight Lambert feels sick, and when Narinder takes a sigh of relief because of the danger they escaped, he sees his friend passing out in front of him.
Lambert wakes up in Narilamb's place, a very small apartment, and that's where they admit they have a congenital heart defect. Narinder tries to convince them to talk about it to Ratau, but they insist on waiting for the right time. The chapter ends with Narinder telling his friend to stay for the night and then he plays the bass in front of Lambert's sparkly eyes.
Chapter 7: Missed calls
Narinder wakes up near Lambert and disapproves the fact they're drooling over his pillow, having one of their sweet dreams featuring a certain person. After the two wake up and talk about the events that took place the previous night, the landlord enters the apartment to talk to Narinder, and suddenly shows disapproval when he sees him with another person, which is against the rules of his rent. He doesn't believe in their story while displaying his bigotry and ableism. When he leaves the two realize they're late for work and go together to the café.
When Narinder and Lambert try to explain what happened to Ratau, he forgives their being late but don't seem to take seriously anything they report, which brush them the wrong way, especially Narinder who is deeply disappointed. Shrumy doesn't approve Ratau's behaviour as well and brings him to the storage room to talk about it. The two have an argument but Shumy learns Ratau doesn't want to minimize what happened and that he simply wants to hide his secrets to protect them, then Shrumy explains that even if Ratau is doing so to keep the workers safe, he's getting the opposite result.
At the end of the day of work, Narinder leaves with an upset expression without even saying bye, which makes Lambert sad, but then Ratau explains them he acts like this because he's scared of rain, in fact it was very cloudy.
Ratau and his friends bring Forneus to the police station, where she reports the aggression of the previous day to the cops. They don't do much about it and she's so unhappy about it that she screams in anger mentioning a certain Delilah. Ratau and his friends are forced to drag her outside to avoid troubles with the police and after they bring her back home, Shrumy comforts Ratau who feels guilty and offers him to sleep in his house that night.
Chapter 8: Baggages
The chapter opens with Kallamar and Leshy interacting behind the counter. Kallamar comments the ugly color combinations worn by some customers, while Leshy replies with more creepy comments directed to him and taking advantage of his hearing impairment to not to repeat the mean things he said to him. Leshy also shows disapproval and frustration when Kallamar talks about removing a star that Narinder drew on the wall before leaving.
When Lambert enters the bookstore cafe Kallamar serves him and introduces himself in a very polite, almost dramatic way, also explaining his disability (hearing) and the ones owned to the other two colleagues. He looks a bit weird, but leaves a good impression on Lambert. When the sheep sees Shamura and they don't seem to recognize them they feel horribly embarassed, but then that's how they learn about their friend's memory impairment. The two happily chat again and Shamura lets Lambert give them their phone number, that is also secretly taken by Kallamar.
The following day, on Monday, Narinder manages to get to work on time, but he's particularly tired and silent. During their day of work anyways, Lambert catches Narinder being bullied by the same woman he tried to give her that drink in which he spitted during the first day of Lambert's work. She reveals to be transphobic towards him and it turns out that wasn't the first time she was verbally attacking him. So Lambert defends their friend and kicks the mean customer outside the café, surprising Narinder.
Once the day of work is over, Lambert meets Forneus again, who thanks them for the help they gave her when she was being attacked by those criminals and, as a gift, she gives them the sweater that kept aside specifically for them. Then, when they're about to come back home with the new sweater, they see Narinder being dramatically kicked out by the landlord because of his inability to pay the rent for more than one month. Lambert tries to comfort their colleague and convinces him to sleep in their home until he finds a new sistemation.
Chapter 9: Guns
Lambert welcomes Narinder in their home and he seems to be happy to not have to sleep in the streets. Anyways, he definitely changes attitude when he finds there is only one double bed and decides to sleep on the sofa, even if this one is terribly uncomfortable. Narinder also opens up about his mental health issues linked to depression before they go to sleep.
The following day Narinder punches Lambert in the face while he's sleeping because he doesn't want to be waken up, and after eating breakfast the cat finds Ratau talking at the phone, talking about someone meeting mysterious. The two manage to hear the whole thing and to not get caught by Ratau, then they decide to follow him after work to see what is he really hiding.
When the moment arrives, the two struggle to follow Ratau because of the not functioning street lights and Narinder seems to be concerned with his physical state. Anyways they finally find Ratau and they see him courageously facing the same Fox that insulted Lambert days ago. He lends him a empty envelope telling him he won't give him any more money, and the Fox starts to punch him in front of the two scared colleagues who get caught by Klunko and Flinky, who were here too. After the Fox tells Ratau he's not going to kill him, but attack the people he cares about just to see him suffer, Shrumy appears and immobilizes the criminal. Anyways, he finds himself surrounded by his sidekicks he finds himself forced to leave him go. When the evil guys leave Ratau invites everyone to his house so he can finally give Narinder and Lambert the explanations they deserve.
Chapter 10: Cracks
Once they all get to Ratau's house, Flinky starts medicating his wounds while he explains how he started to pay the Fox many years ago to protect his café because of issues and troubles unknown people caused. He is aware about the fact it was a mistake and he regrets it everyday.
After said explanation, Lambert sees Narinder looking at the raindrops on the windows with a tense expression, this is where Narinder expresses his illogical yet intense repulsion for rain. He gets melancholic and Lambert fails to comfort him.
The same night Shrumy and Ratau sleep in the same bed and they almost kiss, but Ratau steps back because he hates the Shrumy keeps being romantic with him even if he stated pretty clearly he doesn't want to be in a romantic relationship with him anymore.
The following day Forneus and her kits show up at the cafe, and when Baal sees Shrumy, recognizing him for mysterious reasons, he flees, leaving everyone confused but the turtle, who is feeling suspicious about it. When Narinder tries to serve the two customers he suddenly feels unwell and finds himself unable to move because of the tension. Lambert fears he's having a heart attack, but then it turns out Narinder suffers from panic attacks and that one of those was happening right now. Ratau and Kudaai, who is a doctor, manage to support Narinder, who is brought to Lambert's home after the attack.
At the end of that difficult day of work Lambert apparently receives a message by Shamura, but they don't know the person who is texting them pretending to be the spider is, instead, Kallamar.
Chapter 11: Masks
When Lambert arrives home, they find Shrumy entertaining Narinder with the bass and when they leave them alone, Lambert asks him how he feels. After expressing the fact they will do anything to help them in case another panic attack occurs, they gift him the moon necklace they found on the beach, telling him it's magical and brings luck. Narinder of course doesn't believe them but still apprecciates the gift.
This time Lambert lets Narinder sleep on the bed while they will sleep on the sofa instead, surprising their friend. Lambert struggles to sleep that night and they end up chatting with "Shamura", managing to get a date with "them".
The following day, while Narinder stays home, Lambert goes to work and gets to see Sozo and his husband, Helob, enter the café. They express how much they love each other publicly and Lambert feels inspired, wishing to be in such a cute and lasting relationship in the future.
The chapters end with another victim of the criminals who gets beaten after he explains why he can't give them the money. One of the goons runs away from the scene and, removing their mask once he's away, he reveals his tears. He is Baal.
Chapter 12: Comics or books
Baal comes back home pretty late and has a heartbreaking argument with his mother, who begs Aym to let her know whatever is going on with his brother once he finds out.
Lambert finds Narinder's secret: he keeps a gay comic and they decide to read it out loud to tease him. Once they're done Narinder ask them to give him some secret as well and that's how they give him an album filled with photos, the most embarassing ones as well. He starts to feel melancholic and pretty jealous because Lambert still has a family, but when a half burned photograph portraying Lambert and a lion person distract him, they explain that is their ex-boyfriend and that they left them because nonbinary. Narinder of course comforts his friend telling all those muscles and hair compensate for something else. When he suggests them to burn or destroy that photo to get rid of him on a deeper level, Lambert says they will think about it.
The day of the date finally arrives, Lambert waits for their date for almost a hour and when they see Kallamar arrive instead of Shamura they feel confused. Heartbroken even, when Kallamar says Shamura simply forgot about the date. The squid almost convinces Lambert to hang out with him instead when Heket and Shamura arrive on the spot and this is how they all find out Kallamar was pretending to be Shamura just to go on a date with Lambert instead. Heket drags him back to the bookstore café where he left Leshy working all alone while Shamura decides to hang out with Lambert.
Lambert spends a beautiful day with Shamura, buying books and comics for the bookstore, eating dinner together and they end up stargazing. Lambert is completely enamoured with Shamura, even if they don't understand their yapping about astronomy and physics, but then they found they spent too much talking and lost track of time. In fact, it is too late for Lambert to get the bus or the train and go back home, so Shamura suggests them to sleep in their home as a solution. Of course, Lambert accepts their offer, not realizing Narinder had been calling them for a long while due the late hour and them not showing up at home.
Chapter 13 - Pancakes and apologies
When Lambert arrives in Shamura's house they realize Narinder has called them several times because they planned to dine together and he was also worried because of their disappearance. After apologizing and reassuring him they're fine, they find Shamura live with the people they work with, Lambert even meets Kallamar who suggests them to sleep in his beautiful room because of a more comfortable bed, proposal that was kindly denied by the sheep before Heket dragged him away. That night Lambert sleeped in the guest room then than was revealed to be a room that belonged to a friend Shamura really misses and disappeared years before.
After sleeping and having a nightmare about being lost in a maze that looked just like Camellia Town and being eaten by the Fox, Lambert wakes up and hears someone playing the guitar. After they investigate on the sound they find Leshy and a yellow cat on his bed while he's playing the guitar for her. During breakfast the yellow cat reveals to be Felix, a friend Leshy never spoke about to the people he lived with and she leaves overall a good impression on everyone, aside Kallamar who finds her a bit gross.
After exchanging music playlists with Leshy and Felix, Heket invites Lambert for a Halloween party, and when they come back home to invite his friend Narinder he is just too offended by the carelessness Lambert showed the previous day to accept the invitation.
The day comes to an end as Felix brings Leshy back home after a karaoke night. She encourages him to practice his singing to get better and offers herself as a singing teacher since Leshy is already giving her guitar lessons and he gladly accepts the proposal even though he isn't convinced about the singing. She greets him with a kiss on the cheek before going back home, leaving Leshy embarassed and confused, snd that's when Kallamar intervenes saying that it's obvious that Leshy and Felix have a crush on each other, but when he denies Kallamar's insinuation he proceeds to say pretty aphobic things. Heket and Shamura interrupt the discussion before it devolves and Leshy flees locking himself in his room.
Chapter 14 - True Colors
The chapter continues where it was interrupted in the previous one: Leshy is inside his room after having an argument with Kallamar and Heket comes in to check how he's doing, communicating with him with a text to speech option on her phone. Leshy opens up about how Kallamar made him feel, but doesn't mention his doubt for what he feels for Felix.
As Halloween approached Narinder mantained a cold and detatched behavior towards Lambert, who felt a bit too awkward about it to try and actually speak about it with him. Anyways, after they dressed up as a vampire to go to the party, they find Narinder crying inconsolably in the bed. Lambert manages to let him open up for the first time and this is when he finally drops his lore trauma: turns out that he was kicked out from his biological family because he is transgender when he was 18 yo, that he was helped by a older friend who hired him at their bookstore café and that he accidentally caused his death in a car crash he fleed away from out of panic. In the beginning Lambert is disgusted by the latest revelation, but after seeing in much pain and shame he was because of the burden he has on his conscience they feels sympathy and comforts him, deciding to give up the party and stay with him that night so that he won't be alone.
Meanwhile, at the Halloween party, as Kallamar despairs after learning Lambert won't join the party, Leshy and Felix are chatting on the terrace. When Leshy explains her what is aromanticism and asexuality she expresses how much she finds that relatable, even though she doesn't think she's ace. Then she mentions the fact that probably the blame falls on someone who ruined her relationship with intimacy, and when he jokingly says it's because romance sucks, she clarifies that the person who ruined that for her wasn't a romantic partner, leading to an ominous change of mood.
Chapter 15 - Clauneck
When Narinder and Lambert wake up they get prepared to go to an autumnal fair in town, while at the same time Narinder finds the courage to remove a gacha game from his phone. The same morning Clauneck, who is getting prepared to go the same fair but as tarot reader, gets called by Kallamar, his most annoying customer who asks him for the upteenth future love tarot reading.
Narinder and Lambert spend a beautiful morning in the town when at the fair they see Clauneck for the first time, while hes having a fight with another seller who tried to sell a sick woman rocks to heal her cancer. They get a tarot reading from him that reveals the challenges and transformation they will have to face in the future.
Leshy dreams about kissing Felix and wakes up with a flower growing on his face.
Chapter 16 - Blooming flowers
This chapters begins with a flashback of a younger Leshy having his first flower growing on his face and his parents explaining that his body just started to change and telling him where do babies come from. Rest in pieces Leshy.
The current Leshy refuses to give any explanation to his roommates, who ifnore his refusal and check an anatomy book with him, unveiling the reason of Leshy's physical change: basically wormfolks like him bloom pink flowers in spring to signal their most fertile moment in the year, while when they bloom red flowers in any season it means they are in love. Anyways, Leshy seems to have a "Blooming syndrome" that occurs when a wormfolk refuses to admit their feelings for another person. If he won't admit his feelings for Felix it won't be fatal, but he will keep growing flowers non stop. He doesn't take it well.
The day of an important date with Shamura came for Lambert, but they couldn't stop thinking about their ex, so Narinder helps them burning the photo in the storage room, comforting them. After such bittersweet, touching moment Chad (Lambert's ex) enters the cafe and starts flirting with Narinder in a transphobic way. Narinder finds himself powerless and Lambert helps him by pouring boiling coffee on Chad's balls, who is also kicked out from Shrumy. When Lambert has to leave for the date, Narinder feels jealous while not knowing why, but in the end he wholeheartedly wishes them good luck, because he wants them to be happy.
Chapter 17 - Heartache
After spending a beautiful date with Shamura, Lambert finally finds the courage to confess their feelings when they're stargazing with the telescope on the roof, confession that ends up with a polite friendzone under the most romantic sky. Lambert's feelings are hurt but decides to not to take it personally and stay friends with Shamura.
When Lambert comes back in Camelliatown they witness the Fox's goons bringing cans of gas to their cafe to set it on fire, but thankfully Shrumy, who was there, knocks them out and Ratau, Klunko, Flinky and Narinder arrive on spot. The Fox and Helob appear too, and this one is revealed to work for the boss. The two criminals pretend to leave the group alone but, while they're in the car, the Fox tells Helob to shoot at one of the two coworkers, not to kill them, but to seriously damaging them. Helob is reluctant and refuses to do such thing, but the Fox physically forces him to do so and ends up shooting at Lambert's arm.
Everyone is in shock as they see Lambert collapsing on the ground and having a hemorrhage even though the bullet caused just a scrap, which confuses everyone aside Narinder, who knows that the bleeding is caused by the pills Lambert is taking for their heart condition. Ratau yells at Narinder for never telling him about their condition and him, Narinder and Shrumy, bring the wounded sheep at the hospital. When they arrive Ratau and Narinder have a confrontation in which the cat shares his feelings of guilt because of what happened and his fear of losing Lambert forever, Ratau reassures him and expresses he never hated him but felt sad because of how Narinder wasted his potential and hide his best qualities.
After that lovely conversation, the doctor tells them that Lambert is no longer in danger but that they will need to rest for some week at the hospital. Ratau goes in the hospital's garden to refer everything to the Klunko and Shrumy reaches him. When Ratau shares with him the profound guilt he feels and how he wishes to be more like him, Shrumy admitted he isn't strong and brave as he looks amd that he was scared that night, maybe even more than him. Then, they kiss passionately.
The following day Lambert wakes up in their hospital bed, with Narinder at their side. He brought flowers for his friends and they chat about everything that happened, including that disappointing date and the old men yaoi that Narinder silently witnessed last night. During the rest of the day Narinder doesn't feel hungry at all and when he comes back home and realizes he miss having Lambert sleeping next to him, he finally understand that he loves them.
Chapter 18 - Complications
The chapter starts with Sozo kicking Helob out of their house, throwing objects, clothes, and baggages from the balcony. Helob is visibly sorry about what happened, but of course it isn't enough to be forgiven by his husband. Meanwhile, as they pass Lambert finally heals and decides to write a fanfiction about Shrumy and Ratau.
One day at the red crown cafe, Narinder catches Lambert laughing at the fanfiction they wrote and shows disapproval, but he really can't get mad so they start lovingly teasing each other. Narinder then reveals to Lambert that he wants to face his fear of rain and asks them for help and of course, the sheep accept.
When Lambert has to leave the coffee shop to buy some ingredients, they meet Kallamar and find out he specifically came there to meet them without any warning. Lambert tries to avoid him politely but due his stubborness they explode and tell him how they dislike his disrespectful behavior. Kallamar unpromptedly asks them for their star sign and when Lambert reveals to be an aries, the squid rejects them and leaves.
Felix finally visits Leshy at home woth the purpose of explaining what she was talking about during Halloween. She tells him that she once was part of s group friends and that there was a member of her friends that confessed her feelings for her but after some days she rejected him, he forced her to kiss him, probably taking advantage of the fact she could be drunk, and she broke his nose with a punch as reply. Because of that her entire group of friends despised her and left her lonely. Leshy showed his closeness and sympathy to her after the revelation, and in those moments he realizes he's feeling both romantically and physically attracted to her, while she's telling him beautiful things. He tries to kiss her but decides to step back and hug her instead, profoundly disappointing his friend.
Chapter 19 - Gentle Rain
Leshy finds himself having an argument with Kallamar as soon as he wakes up: the squids accuses him of self sabotaging himself and that he can't stand seeing him losing his chance to be in a romantic relationship while he's still single at 29. Leshy refuses to listen to any of his advices and after he finds Kallamar has peeked in his room the previous night and saw his failure, he kicks him out of his room.
After Shrumy and Ratau finally admit in front of their friends that they're putting the past aside and trying to see if their romantic relationship can work out, Felix shows up at the café and asks Lambert and Narinder loves advices since the person she likes keeps driving her crazy. After Lambert encourages her to just be herself and follow her heart. In all of this Leshy's name was never mentioned, but Narinder already has a guess.
After work Narinder and Lambert go for a walk and once they're in the beach, the cat opens up and explains how he think his fear of rain probably started when he ended up being homeless under the car crash and about the fact he tried to rob Ratau's café with a visibly fake gun just to burst into tears in front of him after he asked him if he was okay. Lambert learns that Ratau hired Narinder out of sympathy and because he wanted to help him. After this revelation it starts raining and Lambert sustains and encourages Narinder to help him overcome his fear. When the cat is finally calmed down Lambert decides to kiss him for the first time, and the two end up confessing their feelings and romantically kissing under the rain.
Chapter 20 - Love Potion
After the Fox gives Helob new fake documents and a new home to avoid any more suspect, Narinder and Lambert wake up on the sofa and shows each other a lot of affection.
That afternoon, anyways, Felix finishes her shift at the tattoo store, after tattooing a beautiful moth on Heket's chest. Kallamar was there as well and decides to bring Felix to the shop where Clauneck works, so that he can buy her a love tarot reading, but when they arrive they find Chenmach instead, who gives Felix a love potion. As soon as she leaves the shop she throws it away, explaining to a shocked Kallamar that it is unfair to force someone to love her.
After she finally arrives to the cafe to go to the karaoke with Leshy, Kallamar locks them inside the workplace, where they are condamned to spend the entire night there. They have a pleasant night and after chatting, joking, singing and talking about deep stuff, Felix finds the courage to kiss him. After such action she fears she disturbed her friend ruining their beautiful friendship, but that is when Leshy kisses her with even more passion, and this is how they spend the rest of the night. The following morning, anyways, Leshy feels scared because of how things quickly developed and starts to have regrets.
Meanwhile, the Fox has a talk with Baal, who started to neglect and hate his job especially since he learned his mother was assaulted by the same people he works with. The Fox tells him he will help Forneus' job to flourish, but if he decides to leave his role his entire family will have to pay.
Chapter 21 - Petals in the sink
The following morning Ratau goes to visit his older brother, who is struggling with severe depression, and after he cleans his neglected home he promises him he won't leave him alone during wintermas holidays, that he likes it or not.
Later, in the café, the gambling gang notice how Narinder and Lambert are all cuddly and shit and they're happy about it. Forneus shows up with both of her kits and Baal decides to pay for all his family, while Shrumy still feels suspicious about him.
Meanwhile, the same morning Leshy tries to leave the café in which he woke up without telling anything to Felix, who quickly reaches him and hugs him. Leshy, heartbroken, tells her that while he enjoyed that night with her, he can't stop thinking it was a mistake, and that he wants to stay friends with her. She reacts by getting angry and accusing him of using her, telling him he is a coward and he reacts by saying that while no one can force Felix to love her, the same applies to everyone else him included. Felix feels offended and leaves, even after Leshy tried to hold her back, almost feeling drawn to kiss her again. When he goes to the toilet he notices all the flowers that grew on his head fell off.
Narinder receives a call from Ratau while he's watching a horror movie with Lambert and the old rat invites them for wintermas eve dinner, invitation that they gladly accept. Lambert also invites Narinder to their family's wintermas lunch and, after being a bit reluctant and insecure, he accepts.
Leshy comes back home in a horrible mood and when he's listening to the old recordings about him and Narinder playing their guitar and bass together, he feels incredibly lonely and regretful, crying his heart out all alone in his room.
Chapter 22 - Karaoke
After some days Lambert brings Narinder to dine out for his 28th birthday at the pizza place ran by Sozo. There they also check on him and turns out he's devasted by the revelation of his ex partner being part of the local mafia. He also feels very guilty for not realizing sooner and for what happened to Lambert.
Meanwhile Felix is dining with her parents and she's struggling to eat vegetables, in that case broccoli, because they remind her of Leshy. Since her parents want to force her to eat broccoli before eating anything else, she decides to go in her room with an empty stomach.
Narinder and Lambert go back home and they give him a frame with their photograph as birthday gift. The sheep feel a bit ashamed because they wanted to give him something more, but the cat reassure them that they are all he could've hoped for his birthday.
Felix is hungry and empties her fridge because she hadn't eat anything for dinner. Also, she's still stressed and heartbroken because of what happened with Leshy and she eats unhealthy food to distract herself from the pain. Anyways, since she knows this can bring serious issues on the long run, she decides to stop and to call her friends Narinder and Lambert to vent. They listen to her and when she invites them to go out the next evening, Lambert accepts.
That same night Shrumy brings a drunk Ratau home, and when they're in the car the rat vents about how guilty he feels because of Ratoo's psychological state. Turns out that Ratau feels responsible of his brother's dead wife since the Fox's goons set fire on their home while she was sleeping inside.
The next evening arrives and after their day of work, Narinder and Lambert meet Felix, who introduce them to her friends Amdusias, Valefar and Barbatos. They all go to a pub specialized in karaoke and they get their own room, there turns out Felix's friends know Leshy and that he's part of their friend group, and when the yellow cat vents about what happened they all decode to stand on her side. Anyways this is when Narinder gets the confirmation that both Felix and Lambert know Leshy and he's genuinely scared.

I've finished Etho's s7 hermitcraft so guess who's back with a slightly updated/slightly consolidated list of things about ethoslab I have noticed! or just enjoy!
(the previous list)
I have no idea when he learned to noteblock. I don't know if he knows. he knows how to noteblock tho. he's really good at it.
on that note, did you know that there is not a single piece of non-noteblock music in etho's s7 after the first episode? there might not even be any in the first episode. every single timelapse or montage is set to noteblock music
(he sang along to parts of his paper planes noteblock cover too. he was going shopping. I was entirely too delighted)
(also, there is some like...sitcom music theme that I don't know what show it's from. it's bothering me that I don't know. what you need to know is that throughout his s7 etho uses said sitcom theme as the transition before Shenanigans With Fellow Hermits clips play. his life is a sitcom. yes it is the noteblock version.)
I think that etho desperately needs minigames for enrichment. if he's not playing one he's working on one. he needs them and he will let them completely consume his life
the etho decked out 1 runs are hilarious, partially because it's funny to see him play it and realize how absolutely insane decked out 2 is, and how much of a madlad tango is. etho is still the same menace with great luck and skills. I had forgotten about the hole to the void in the middle out decked out 1 tho, that was a fun reminder
etho could make a career out of translating classic type games into minecraft. he kind of has, but it's a pattern.
he also keeps coming up with new games that are minecraft only and is good at figuring out how to balance them well.
again, king of minigames. he will in fact analyze them as much as possible. he caught on to the pattern of impulse's whack a mole game in like...2 rounds? maybe 3? he's good at pattern recognition and will put it to good use no matter the minigame
etho, I cannot stress this enough, is a little shit and enjoys being such. free glass is obviously an iconic moment, but I had forgotten about him scamming scar out of diamonds for "information" about the resistance, or about sneak-e-e's business model (you can't tax what you can't find!), or about how he kept being extremely ridiculous with beef in regards to record shop payments...the list goes on
etho is also very competitive. I mentioned this in the last list, but man...he joins like every single competition he can. he wants to win. he's not like, a sore loser, but he likes to win, and he'll get a little upset if he doesn't.
etho and beef have clearly known each other a long time and ngl I miss their interactions a bit. let them bother each other a bit more please. I want to see them trying to kill each other in ridiculous ways again please. or doing minigames together. they're so silly.
kind of similar, but etho loves getting a rise out of people and it is the best thing ever actually. it's fun watching him use dirty tricks to beat bdubs to sleeping for a prize. it's perfect actually.
that being said, I still really like when etho is just on his own working on stuff too. s7 has a lot of moments where etho will go "I'm gonna use this block palette!" and I will think "bro that's ugly" and then he will make an extremely cohesive build that I want to live in out of it. I think a good way to describe it is that for example bdubs is really good at detailed builds with texture and not much color, and a very realistic twist to them. etho is not afraid to use color at all, and embraces how the colors can work together or contrast. it's fascinating to watch and I love it.
he is also a redstone genius. I feel I am starting to understand how some things with redstone work. could I design something myself? absolutely not but I could work from a tutorial and not feel completely lost on why I have to use a dispenser and not a dropper now.
I think s7 etho is really experimenting a lot with style and how he wants to do things. he does a few more elaborate intros, for example, that are very planned out, but he also does a lot of the classic "hello everybody this is etho and welcome back to hermitcraft!" it's fun and it works, but I honestly feel he might be more confident in some ways now in s10, which is nice to see.
(side note—I think etho has some trouble with tone sometimes, where he really wants to make sure everyone's having a good time, but also he really wants to tease people. this works well with like Beef, who he's known a while, but especially in people he's known less he's quick to catch on if they take what he's saying too seriously, and clarify that he is teasing. it's nice to see tbh, just the clarity even with his audience)
speaking of llamas, I had not realized how recent some really big updates were. bamboo and pandas were new at the start of s7. the nether update came like halfway through?? I was more in the casual build side of mcyt at the time but man...I didn't realize how crazy that is to think about.
just...the way that etho visualizes builds is great. not just like, leaving space for farms, but filling in the spaces with a lot of details that make sense but also work with the space to cover anything it needs to AND to connect with the rest of the base. the sightlines thing is something I see a lot of other builders using but etho really uses them a lot in the Monstrosity in order to keep it from being Too Much as you walk through.
really just...he wants to have fun, and he wants to learn, and he wants to experiment and figure things out. if he can mess with some friends when he does it, that's a great bonus, yknow?
man. what a guy.

Would you pls do a Mary earps imagine with them filming TikTok’s together and being otp x
Tumblr media
A/n: Not exactly what you asked for but close enough i think.
TikTok is the bane of your very existence.
It’s the bane of your professional life as a chef because everytime you turn around one of your crew is using prep time to make a concoction and upload it to that godforsaken app.
And in your personal life?
Well, in your personal life, it feels like every time you blink you're being sucked into filming one of those stupid videos with your girlfriend.
The first time it happened, you were barely even sure what was going on.
The two of you had been getting ready to go on a date to a relatively nice restaurant, when she pulled up in front of her phone’s camera so she could show off what you were wearing.
That had been the beginning of the madness (as well as a very hard launch of your relationship to the public).
It didn’t really matter what you were doing, if Mary had decided that a video needed to be filmed, it’d be filmed.
A literal walk in the park. TikTok.
You driving. TikTok.
You tearing a member of the kitchen staff a new one. TikTok. (Although she’d been asked not so politely by the head chef to never do that again).
You cooking in your shared flat. TikTok.
Hell, she even made a TikTok of you sharpening your knives, a task you find completely mind numbing.
And if having your every move recorded wasn’t bad enough, she also had you joining her in filming one of the more popular trends. You mouthing along to the silly sounds that are currently popular on the app. Or worse, dancing, you hate the dancing.
Asking how often you think about the Roman Empire (only as often as you need to).
Throwing herself fully clothed into the shower  and singing Taylor Swift while you were trying to brush your teeth.
Making you record a two second clip of everytime you changed clothes while on vacation.
The list is neverending.
Which is why you should be more alarmed when you see her walking into the kitchen  with her phone out but you’re too focused on chopping the vegetables you’ll be using in your meal prep.
 “Baby,” she says.
“Hmm?”
“Can we record a TikTok?”
“Can I keep doing what I’m doing,” you ask in return, still not looking up from the cutting board.
“You don’t need to do anything but stand there and look pretty,” Mary says as she sets her phone up next to you. “And answer questions,” she adds as an afterthought.
You roll your eyes but don’t make any additional comments as you see her hit record.
“So a ton of you have been asking in the comments how my wife manages to be a professional chef when she has so many food allergies,” Mary says, looking directly at the camera. “And I figured it was better if I just let her explain it. Babe?”
Admittedly, you hadn’t really been listening to every word that she had been saying, only really listening to every word that she had been saying, only really catching the words ‘allergies’ and ‘professional chef’, which is a topic you get asked about a lot. So you just answer without really thinking.
“My main allergies are seafood, peanuts and treenuts. And since I’m one of 2 or 3 sous on any given night, I just,” you pause, “wait, what did you just call me?”
You can feel cheeks heating up as your brain finally processes what just happened.
“What? Babe?”
Mary’s playing dumb on purpose. She knows it. You know it. And you both know that the other one knows.
“Not that, the other thing.”
“What my wife,” she asks.
A cheeky grin breaks out on Mary’s face as she watches even more color rush to your face.
For you, when she repeats it, you suddenly feel like you can barely breathe and you know that your next words come out a little choked (much to Mary’s amusement.)
“Yup, that.”
As calmly as you can manage, you put your knife down and take off your apron before walking out of the kitchen.
“Wait, where are you going?”
“I have to find my wallet and keys,” you shoot back.
“Why?”
“I gotta go buy a ring before you change your mind!”
The sound of her laughter is the only thing you hear as you close the door behind you.
The video is up on that cursed app by the end of the week.
A photo of the ring on Mary’s finger goes up just a few hours before.

Hi again! Hope you've been doing okay!
First off I just wanna say that you always deliver, I mean "Fall Unto Me"?? Four part+an epilogue of me being torn between wanting to baul my eyes out and wanting to melt into a puddle from the feels :')
But as for the request, could I ask for Angel and [REDACTED] redecorating his appartment? Getting rid of the gaudy furniture once and for all!
Don't forget to drink water and take breaks whenever you need to! My brain is also 105% filled with this skrunkly but the trick is to keep two neurons in a cell reserved for this >:] /silly
HEHE I’ve been ok! Hope you are too!! <3 thank u for appreciating my (deranged) brainrotting fic c: the suffering is my favorite part. I’m drinking lots of water cause summer hates my ass. 💖 Also sorry this is long I am clearly not winning at the "be normal" challenge.
14 Days With You is an 18+ Yandere Visual Novel. MINORS DNI
💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤
Redecorating
“This one?”
The dark haired man peered at the laptop in your hands for a long moment. “It's… nice.”
“Yes…? You called the last three couches nice, too. Any other thoughts?” You gently goaded your partner.
Choosing new furniture with [REDACTED] was supposed to be easy. You'd pick something, and he'd agree. Except you wanted it to feel like home for both of you. He didn't have to say the mushy, obvious line: as long as you were there, it was home. So progress was challenging with some things. You were sitting together on the current couch—the ugly, lifeless one that came with his apartment for some reason. 
His brow crinkled as he searched for different words. Those soft blue eyes went back and forth across the screen until he said, “It’s cozy yet functional.”
“Did you just summarize the description to me?”
He confessed to the crime with a sigh. “Angel, all I think when I look at it is you. And how cute you'd look sitting on it. Like y’do right now.”
“I'm always cute. Focus on the couch, please. Not me,” you insisted.
“No promises.”
“Let's see…” You had to find some way to get through to them. An idea came to mind that you knew he wouldn't like very much, but you had to try. “Pretend we're not dating. Or maybe I don't exist? You come home—don't make that face! I said pretend—so, you come home after a very terrible day and you see this couch. Is it nice then?”
[REDACTED] still made that face as he answered you. “Annoying as fuck to clean.”
It was progress. You didn't want to dwell on why that would be what they thought about after getting home. “Did the first one I showed you seem annoying to clean?”
“Mm... a bit.” They reached forward to change the webpage back for another look. “Y’never showed me these.” 
You leaned over to see what he was talking about. There were a few humongous bean bag chairs on the furniture wish list you’d made. “I just thought they looked fun to take a nap in. But I’m not sure we’d both fit, so it’d be silly," you explained and tapped the mouse to continue skimming through your other selections. “We can think about the couch later. I found some wall art that doesn’t look like it came from a dentist’s office.”
His eyes carefully followed the scrolling page until the bean bags disappeared at the bottom of the screen, but he didn’t protest.
💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤
The new furniture had arrived—and been efficiently assembled by your boyfriend, despite your protest—while you were at the library, so you were excited to get home. [REDACTED] held one hand over your eyes as he unlocked the apartment’s door.
“I already know what all the furniture looks like, Ren.” Even so, you didn’t wave their hand away.
You could hear the door click as he guided you into the foyer. “I may have added a few extra things,” he hummed while you blindly struggled and failed to take off your shoes. “Actually… close your eyes f’me.”
“O—kayy?!” Just as you closed your eyes the floor slipped away under you, replaced by familiar arms cradling you to their chest. His quiet footsteps barely echoed against the marble as you got your wits about you. The living room wasn’t that far, so you were certain where he took you without seeing anything. You just didn’t know where exactly in the room.
They turned and came to a stop, rooted in place for a moment as if thinking to themself. “Y’gonna scream if I drop you?” 
“...Yes. Maybe.”
Without another word he let go. There wasn’t enough time to scream as you immediately landed against plush fabric with the faint crinkle of something below it. The fabric crinkled some more as you felt your shoes being taken off.
“Can I open my eyes yet?” you asked. You could already tell what one of the ‘extra things’ was. It felt like heaven.
“Sure, love.” Their voice was a little farther away than you expected. Probably from hurrying to put your shoes in the closet.
You found yourself nestled on one side of the room, with a perfect view of his handiwork.
A couch that was easy to clean, in a color you insisted he decide on, draped with a luxurious looking blanket that wasn’t in your list. A coffee table with rounded corners so they wouldn’t keep hitting their leg on it. Some wall art of Attack on Giants—with extra pieces from a show you sort of recognized, but definitely suited the man's tastes. A few shelves to show off merchandise from another of your favorites. And the enormous, navy blue bean bag he’d so rudely dropped you in moments ago.
Your darling hacker stepped in from the foyer and tossed their hoodie onto the new couch. “Everything good?” he asked, piercings pulling up in a smile.
“I think I love it.” Your eyes scanned the room again and eventually landed on the pictures. “And I love that you added your own stuff.” It didn’t seem to be a clone of your apartment that he just happened to live in, like you worried about. “What about you?”
“S’better than before. ‘Course, the best part is that I don’t have t’see some shitty couch when I open the door—I get to come home to you, trapped in a bean bag.” He stood up and walked over, eyeing you playfully from above. “Comfortable?”
You nodded, then immediately yelped when he fell forwards. Just before you were squished, he caught himself on tattooed arms, caging you in the crinkly, soft material. You only felt some of their weight on you like a heavy blanket. A soft laugh slipped past your lips as he got comfortable himself, clinging to you as best he could while you both sank further into the depths of the bean bag. It’d be impossible to get out.
You wiggled your legs, straining to even find the damn floor. No doubt a futile effort, you had to sigh, “At least we both fit on it."
[REDACTED] didn’t speak, already yawning from the exhaustion of setting everything up before meeting you at work. The walk to and from the library certainly didn’t do him any favors, either. In a matter of seconds, he was fast asleep in what surely felt akin to a nest, all four lanky limbs wrapped around you like a snake.

what draws you to misa amane?
oh this is such a good question let me see if i can do it justice.
two of my favorite themes in anything are
characters who are performances
what if love was not good
and misa is basically like if you took these two and smashed them together in a way perfectly calculated to obliterate me
like she's so! our first introduction to her is her pretending to be someone else (the first kira) so well that she even fools the audience. our second introduction to her is rem telling her that she is only alive because someone loved her, someone was killed by their love for her, and misa looks down for a second — looks almost sad — and then smiles and immediately starts scheming to kill her too.
who the fuck does that? what is wrong with her?
i think what misa understands fundamentally is that love is a weapon. if you asked her she'd laugh and say that's silly, she's a romantic after all! but she knows how attraction works and she uses it like a physical object with rem and higuchi and her jailor (when she thinks she's being tied up by a stalker and she starts offering bits of herself in order to get them to give her more freedom. mr stalker, the video won't be interesting if i can't move. oh, i'll give you an autograph, i'll shake your hand…)
and like, sure, that's how any femme fatale works, but crucial to the entire act is that misa doesn't admit it. she acts stupid on purpose! she's a cute little girl, she's misa-misa! all of this is literally in the text but she is just so good at acting that people forget about it! she isn't your usual scheming seductress character (also a character archetype i'm obsessed with, incidentally) because she knows better than to let anyone see her scheming.
look at this bit where she's specifically trying to get sidelined and successfully gets light to sideline her
Tumblr media
+ i literally just posted about it but this scene where she decides to go behind everyone's back to uncover higuchi as kira drives me up a wall. the way she immediately covers it up with asking light to come to bed to her. i've seen so many people just screenshot that last part out of context because it really does look like a normal misa thing to do, haha misa and her conviction that light is in love with her, so funny! and that is the exact thing she is relying on to make sure they don't catch onto her. she pulls the same trick on the reader that she does on the characters. isn't that! insane! and it works every time!!!!
and of course talking about misa is never really complete without talking about her and light. it is my personal belief that she has a bpd favorite-person fixation on light that she convinces herself is actually romantic, but mental illness headcanons aside i am obsessed with the way she conceives of their relationship? on their first meeting she says out loud that she doesn't care if light just plays the part of her boyfriend ("i'll work hard to make you love me") but she doesn't want him to date other girls in public. she doesn't actually mind that he doesn't have feelings for her (yet!) but she cares about the appearance of their relationship. about the facade. she keeps putting both of them in danger by showing up to see him when he's told her not to. she gives up her actual memory of light but is relieved that she doesn't have to give up her feelings for him, specifically. she is over the moon when L and rem say she's in love with him (not the other way around!). and this
Tumblr media
this fucking scene added a decade to my lifespan
rem: you tried to kill yourself over this boy misa: (sincere) that's awesome!
like she isn't actually enamored with him. she's enamored with how in love with him she is
oh that reminds me. addition to my favorite themes in anything list:
3. SUICIDALITY
misa halves her lifespan twice. risks her life to catch kira multiple times in yotsuba arc. as aforementioned goes to meet light even though it threatens both of them. literally says aloud i'd rather die while i'm still young and pretty
her parents are dead. she is nineteen years old and incredibly traumatized. the conclusion here is very straightforward.
misa calls kira her savior even though she knows kira isn't the one who actually saved her life with gelus. kira doesn't even save her parents, just avenges them by murdering their killer. so why is he her savior? because kira gives her a reason to live again. her goal now is to meet him, and then after she meets him, get him to fall in love with her. this is impossible because of the way light is and in some ways i think that is ideal for misa: there's always something to keep going after, some reason for her to not die yet. but she keeps throwing herself at death anyway in the meantime because if she's going to die then she wants it to be for love. i did all that for light? that makes me so happy!
the two times i think misa is completely entirely honest with the audience are when she's in confinement and when she's in the forest alone, right after getting her memories back:
Tumblr media
christ.
this is imo why she sides with light over kira in the yotsuba arc. because what she actually wants is to not be alone, to have a reason to live, and kira helpfully provided that for a while but now that she's under constant surveillance to make sure she's not siding with kira and now that her boyfriend is also trying to catch him, she's going to side with the boyfriend so that she can keep light by her side.
what i really like about this is that it's so… amoral? misa does think kira is doing good for the world but she personally doesn't care, she just wants to be loved. she will twist her morals into whatever necessary to make sure that she is loved. she really doesn't care about anything else. she frames her good friend for the kira tapes. she places zero value on her own life and by extension zero value on anyone else's — even light's, to be honest, see above about how she's willing to put them both at risk to see him — and it's the most entertaining thing in the whole world! it's so awesome! she's so awesome!
and the best thing is that this comes back to bite her so hard in the second arc because now that she's lost her memories she can't remember why she's with light in the first place but just like in yotsuba arc she understands that this person is the only reason she is still alive, that she has to be in love with him, that he has to be in love with her, and it doesn't matter how either of them actually feel because that is How The Story Goes for a cute little girl. it doesn't matter that she's canonically developing alcohol dependence issues (see her dinner with kiyomi) or that she never sees her fiance anymore. she's still misa-misa. she's still everything.
her trick folds in on itself. she's been pretending to be a good non-murderous girlfriend for so long that when she loses her memories and her internality she has to believe herself. she becomes the shell she was putting on for light
where's the post. here. [light, about misa]
Tumblr media
like isn't that the coolest thing in the world! she's been acting for the audience both in- and out-of-universe for so long that she has nothing else to believe in! becoming the mask is a form of ego death! isn't that the most meta thing ever! i love her so much im going to die
oh god this is getting long. umm. conclusion
there's this framework i like to think about characters with that i call zoom-in and zoom-out, where the zoom-in focuses on their internal life and conflicts and feelings etc. and the zoom-out focuses on their role in the narrative, outsider-pov style. the best characters are the ones that are compelling both zoom-in and zoom-out style.
zoom-in: misa amane is a deeply lonely and deeply suicidal teenager who latches onto the first reason she finds for living and clings onto it (him) for the entire rest of the series while constantly putting on a moe act for the sake of survival and then just because she has nothing else
zoom-out: misa amane is the second kira, stalks a high school boy to his house, kills over a hundred thousand people at his command with the same bright smile, and is such a good liar that people still come away from this show calling her stupid.
