I am surprised my headcanons are getting liked. Like when I was posting important headcanons about Regulus' story/portrayal, nobody liked them so I thought nobody was reading them. I did so much research and time into writing the important headcanons, welp. T.T

ASTRO OBSERVATIONS [part 5]

— people with jupiter in the 8th may experience an “abundance” of traumatic experiences throughout life, often relating to death; these are the people who truly feel like everyone they love ends up dying. at their worst, they can become desensitized to death— jupiter is ruled by sagittarius, a sign known for being in denial when in difficult situations in favor of optimism. these natives can pretend like nothing actually happened, or minimize the situation in their head so that they don’t have to face it.

— okay this might be a weird one... like, you know in asoiaf when arya was walking through the streets and was always like “i’m as quiet as a shadow”? that’s literally the energy of someone with planets in the 12th house/chart ruler in the 12th house. these people are so stealthy. they’re able to move so quietly and without anyone noticing, both literally and figuratively. on one hand, they’re very quiet about their plans and ambitions to the point where other people only find out when they’re achieving success over it; on the other hand, they just. don’t like making noise while walking idk bitch you’ll only see me coming when i’m right beside you, i even get paranoid that i’m breathing too loud and that other people will hear 

— people with moon aspecting mars can be incredibly impulsive when they feel hurt or triggered. yall need to be careful with doing things in the heat of the moment that you know you’ll regret later... but in the moment, you feel so hurt that it clouds your rational side. please be more self-aware about this because you may make decisions that will directly affect you for the worse in the future 

— people with leo mars ft. constantly asking you for pictures... about anything. they just wanna SEE LMFAO THEY DON’T CARE WHAT IT IS THEY’RE SEEING. you just got ready to go out? “send pics of your makeup and your full outfit”. you’re waiting in a long boring line to get the covid vaccine? “send pics of the line”. your mom baked cake? “send pics of the cake”. plus they send so many random pictures while texting, it’s their special love language

— having moon conjunct moon/venus in synastry feels insane. you tell them something you’ve been through, and they’re immediately like “that happened with me as well.” it doesn’t even have to be something grand, sometimes just very specific things you thought were particular about you. the amount of understanding that comes with this aspect in synastry can feel very new and intense especially if you’re used to seeing yourself as the “odd one out”, used to feeling isolated in your experiences 

— people with pluto in the 1st house often feel the need to erase “traces” of their existence, for example deleting messages that they sent people, deleting all of their social media posts. they can feel anxious and paranoid about other people having access to their past self, even if the past self in question is from, like. a week ago 

— people with chiron in the water houses (4th/8th/12th) might’ve suffered bullying to the point where they repress their memories. a lot of their memories of their school years may feel foggy if they were bullied in those years

— also. people with chiron in the 8th house may feel as though they’ve been punished for wanting to experience intimacy. it’s like, the people who were supposed to be the closest to them – for example, their sibling or something – were the ones who hurt them the most. 

— people with mercury-neptune aspects and strong pisces/neptune energy in their birth chart might struggle with only remembering things when they’re right in front of them. you should keep things in your peripheral vision to remind you of reality, especially when it comes to feelings— so that you won’t start getting lost inside your own head. like... keep the letters your friends wrote you by your bedside table so you can read them every time your brain starts convincing you that you’re not loved. keep the gifts you’ve been sent on display in your bedroom wall, or sentimental material things that remind you of past happy experiences.

— earth placements and their thing for asmr... omfg. it’s like they’re always looking for things to up their sensory experience/sensitivity. like, earth signs are the ones most connected to worldly experiences so they feel so soothed with the whole asmr experience: just hearing someone gently whispering or tapping on/scratching things calms them down and helps them fall asleep. they love the tingles it’s heaven for them

— moon-saturn aspects might hold and caress themselves while they sleep because their parents never did. yes i woke up and chose violence <3 your secret is NOT safe with me 💋

— while we’re on the topic of sleeping, a majority of the pisces moons i know need to sleep while hugging something, at least a pillow. they can’t just not hug something while they sleep, it’s very instinctive for them. anyways if any pisces moon needs a pillow to hold, i volunteer as tribute 💋

— virgo placements feel sososo soothed by hearing their cats purr. thinking about how my virgo placement friends are always the ones who send me videos of them petting their cats... and then i get soothed by how soothed they feel. it’s a win win situation, if you have virgo placements it’s hereby your duty to send me a video of you petting your cat while they purr. right now. GO

— people with gemini in the 3rd house might have shaky movements of the hands when other people look at them doing things. very specific i know but the third house rules hands and gemini is a sign that has somewhat of an anxious, twitchy quality to it. on the other hand, people with capricorn in the 3rd house (scorpio risings, using whole signs) have the steadiest hands i’ve ever seen lol their movements ooze confidence, these bitches know how to make you feel as thought they know exactly what they’re doing

— people with venus in the 1st house ft. altering their pics with photoshop and hating posting selfies without filters because they never feel like their appearance is good enough. stop it. you don’t need to always look your best and especially not if your ‘best’ isn’t even what you actually look like. also... don’t even think about making self-deprecative jokes about your appearance. next time i find one of yall saying “ahaha im not bad for a 5 without talent” i’m squishing your head between 2 pieces of toast and calling you an idiot sandwich. you’re BEAUTIFUL 

— having venus in the 3rd house in composite with someone? do you mean calling each other the absolute ugliest nicknames in the most endearing way? 

— leo deals with themes of the ego, and it seems that leo placements often struggle with attracting narcissistic people into their life... leo suns/mercuries can be raised by loud, overbearing, narcissistic parents who see their kid as an extension of themselves and who teach the kid to always be very supportive and caring towards them or else they’ll deny them of words of affirmation-- either by insulting them to shatter their self-esteem or simply never complimenting the kid back. leo moons/mars/venus tend to attract narcissistic partners who only care about serving their own emotional needs and ignore the ones of their partner, and who feed off of their supportive and giving nature. which is why leo placements really need to watch out for being gullible, naïve and dismissing the red flags because my god, you be falling for some shady people. 

— people with personal planets in the 12th house/chart ruler in the 12th house might feel like they can’t let go of their past life— they may dream of memories, people or places from another life. it’s like they can’t detach from it, and even if they can’t directly remember their past life, it’s like they feel it in their bones. also, they might’ve felt... estranged from their family ever since childhood; there may have been feelings of being unable to emotionally connect to their (often, distant) parents, and they might’ve even wondered if they were adopted because of how different they felt to the rest of the family. 

— okay so, a thing that people with saturn in the 3rd house need to look out for is mentally checking out of conversations while they’re still happening. these people can detect when they’re being manipulated really fast and their way of dealing with it can be to immediately shut down, to grow cold and silent and not even bother answering when you’re expected to respond. and, like, that’s great when someone starts screaming at you or being insulting/trying to coerce you into shit, but take notice if you find yourself shutting your loved ones out as soon as they say anything that triggers you. don’t simply detach from them, communicate what’s wrong

— aries placements, ESPECIALLY aries suns and moons, value generosity so much and they get so turned off by stingy ppl who don’t share with others, especially when others need it. like.. if you’re hanging out in a group with them and someone asks for a bite of your food because they have no money and you say no... espect them to never respect you. ever. 

— people with libra placements use soooo many adjectives to describe things. something can’t just be beautiful, it has to be DIVINE and CELESTIAL and INTOXICATING. they can be so expressive god it’s so fcking funny 

— capricorn placements HATE asking others for advice because they think no one knows better than them (and they’re not wrong, lol). when they truly care for someone, they might ask the person for advice simply as a sign that they respect, trust and value their judgement. even if they don’t plan on taking it LMFAO 

— people with mars in a water sign can have this terrible habit of expecting other people to guess what they want. and then they get passive agressive when you don’t instinctively feel what it is they want... and when you ask them “do you want this?”, they go like “FINALLY. i thought you’d never get there”. stop it. i know that you want people to understand you in a way that transcends words, but you can’t expect people to read your mind and then get disappointed when they don’t, thinking “oh if they loved me that much then they would’ve known that i really want chipotle for dinner :(” GIRL WHAT. COMMUNICATE YOUR NEEDS

Can i request a scenario about the hunters playing, taking care or being their guardian or parent towards the youngest survivor memory/little girl. Also this request is platonic ONLY!! sorry if I don't explain in specific & memory is my favourite character & I really like platonic relationships

aw i love this idea!! I hope I got enough hunters in haha (✯ᴗ✯) this was more like headcanons rather than one scenario, but I hope you like it anyway! i've included: Burke, Mary, Michiko, Yimi, Yidhra, Robbie, Violetta, Ann, Galatea, Leo, and Joseph. (mentions of Emma too!)

-

there were many nights when Burke Lapadura wondered if he had been too cruel to the young children he once knew. it had been so long ago, he wondered if he really was too old and cranky to be a grandfather. unfortunately for the old goon, kids just flocked to him! first it was Robbie, sweet kid, albeit a little overly excited, and more interested in that Galatea's sculptures than his mechanical work. then it was Yimi, who, when she rarely appeared, begged Burke to pull her hair back when it had come out after Yidhra had done it. he had hoped it would end there, kids were just so... energetic. and he was old! give him a break! but then she appeared. a little blonde-haired girl who was very quiet, but with no ill intent. she had no name, only going by Memory. and she was, surprisingly, very interested in his work! oh how marvelous! and of course, Burke wasn't the only one who had become very interested in how the little girl appeared. Mary immediately flocked to the young girl, practically begging to take care of her just gorgeous hair! it was sort of endearing to see Mary and Michiko dressing Memory up. Memory seemed to really like spending time with the two ladies. after a short while, Memory was practically adopted by the entire hunter side of the manor. Leo considered her another child, next to Emma, of course. nobody could beat his Emma in his eyes. Robbie and Yimi began recruiting Memory for their "amazing" plans, even though they were definitely not the safest ideas. it's hard for them to remember that Memory is still a living human who is small, and is very squishy. Violetta made clothes for nearly everyone in the manor. first it was Ann's cats, collars and little hats, then a scarf for Galatea, who muttered about how cold "Leos' memory" was. maybe a dress or two for Mary, and then one for Yimi, who fell in love with the dress Mary was wearing. and then she made Memory a little jacket because 'she's just a girl! she must be so cold out there in that snow!" speaking of Galatea, she loved making wooden sculptures for Robbie out of the wood he chopped, and now she could make toys for Memory to enjoy while she was at the manor. it was unfortunate that she didn't have any toys to enjoy, and Galatea thought she might get bored! Memory saw one of Ann's cats while she was playing with Robbie, and now in every match she just has to go up and pet one of those kitties. they're too cute, ok?! I'm not saying Joseph takes tons of pictures of Memory in her new dresses, but I'm totally saying that. his passion doesn't stop at portraits, and come on, Memory looks so cute in that dress Vio made... Yes, the hunters definitely loved Memory. she was just too cute!

i’m jealous of your big heart when it comes to animals lmao. i’m arachnophobic and it can be so annoying to have sometimes. i haven’t been able to tie it back to astrology, as much as i would like to. i asked because i was wondering if there was a clear indicator based off certain placements like how 6th house rules animals, 6th is ruled by mercury so i jumbled them even though i probs shouldn’t have lol. and with venus it ties to personal taste so i wondered if it could indicate a liking towards a certain animal. i have sag and sag venus in 6th and embarrassingly enough, i was obsessed with horses. like i came out of the womb adoring them. as soon as i learned to talk i was a walking horse encyclopedia. my obsession died down. i’m not a horse girl, i swear on my life.

i agree with you about the cancer loving animals. animals are babies and momma cancer loves to nurture the babies. i feel like cancers are the most likely to hate the “are you a dog or cat person” question. they’d get offended because how dare someone assume their heart isn’t big enough for both. more than both, really. throw a turtle in there. a rabbit even. cancer asc peeps usually have a shit ton of animals. it’s probably the sag/abundance in the 6th. or they either own a horse or Great Dane. but this is off topic because i forgot i had a follow up question.

if you could tie an animal or a couple animals to each sign that you think best represents that sign? or just seems like one they’d like? some are so easy and others just leave me blank. my arachnophobia thinks scorpio’s deserve better than scorpions but my terror blinds me. but i was looking up the symbolism behind animals and tying them to signs. so far, i’ve concluded that while horses should go with sag, their highly intuitive and empathetic animals. their behavior is like a mirror so if you’re nervous, they are too. so pisces or cancer actually seems to be a better fit. and to stay on topic of cancer with animals, i always tie wolves and dogs in general to cancer. the wolves are tied to the moon and familial dynamics and also i think they’re a great symbolic opposition to leo and how leos tend to resemble cats. sun and moon, dog and cat, night and day, that sort of thing. i realized i’ve rambled but i’m looking forward to your opinion because i’m so lost on what other signs would have. it’s been a year old question in my brain and it’s time for help from the master.

I'm sorry to hear that, I'm had a friend once who was arachnophobic and having phobias like these is really no fun, I can't imagine what it feels like really having them. And omg don't feel bad for liking horses when you were a child, literally so many children, especially young girls, like horses simply because people decided horses where a 'teenage girls only' thing somehow?? (and I will have to dig deeper into this at a point because here where I come from the horse girl thing is soooo painfully real and I want to understand the phenomena). And if I'm not mistake, arachnophobia (like most types of phobias), stem from some kind of trauma right? I absolutely don't try to get to personal but if we look at phobias in that way, maybe it's good to also include looking at planets/asteroids that point to trauma or aspects that can represent/indicate traumatic experiences in that sense! And I agree wholeheartedly to the 'dog or cat' question, I don't get offended by it but I hate this question in general because every animal deserves my love and empathy adfghj and yes, mother feelings definitely play into this haha! I think cancers enjoy (to an extent) having that occasional (or constant) outlet for their nurturing side and the bound you have to animals is also very intuitive and requires a lot of patience and getting educated as well as being observant and reading between the lines somehow and all that dedication paired with emotional knowledge just really speaks to water signs in general (and animals don't judge openly with words, just your energy asdfgh) Uhh, I like the question regarding the animals and I agree with your takes on it so far!! I think one animal can not represent all the core traits of a sign alltogether, but I'll try my best here! and psdfghj no need to call me master because I'm literally so far from anything close to that but thank you so much still, I feel honored really!!

The Signs as Animals:

Disclaimer: some of them are inspired by my ‘the Wild Unknown Animal Spirit’ tarot deck.

Aries: House cat. I know, I always thought cats actually link pretty well to Aries! Cats are just the perfect mixture of intelligen and curious, reserved, stubborn, aggressive, senstive as well as playful/impulsive! They are quick to learn and not afraid to face off against any other, bigger animals, but also can live pretty well together with other pets in the house, as long as they don‘t bother them too much. Especially when it comes to intimacy/pda they are very picky, but forceful when demand it. Seem flexible and unbothered at first but actually have the firmest boundaries when it comes to their personal freedom. Will let you believe they need you but give it a few weeks and the neighbor has better treats than you and gone they are asdfgh, but it's actually a harmful stereotype to believe that cats don't need you because they can become extremely fond of you and grow very attached.

Taurus: Elk. Based on the interpretation of my tarot deck. The elk represents earth energy, it is grounded, is established in itself and knows their core values and acts according to them. They show consistency, coherence and care. Dedicated to who they love and what they care for. Can become narrow minded due to knowing what's best, based on their perception of what's right and necessary, which can effect their ego negatively. Very Taurus for me. Gemini: Dragonfly. I refer to the interpretation of the Dragonfly based on my tarot deck. The dragonfly represents the mind: everchanging, quick, fascinating, a reflection of the world inside us and aroudn us. As the dragonfly is very quick (refering to Mercury's fast and nervous energy) the dragonfly also calles for paying attention to what quality our mind has and to become mindful, because on first glance things always appear different tahn on first glance (Mercury floats between detail-oriented and paying attenetion and being too fast, impatient). The dragonfly is joy and magic, as well as impatience, restlessness and being unable to concentrate. Cancer: Killer Whales (but also whales in general)! I thought especially about Killer Whales, because I once watched a documentary on them and they went in depth about how they have different cultures and different languages even (if I remember correctly) in their familys. Cancer often gets associated with the home life, but I think I wanted to look at it from another perspective, as in how does family 'become' family and how do those family roots develope, what do they consist of, how do we define family and what holds it together (and especially: how do our roots shape our own emotional patterns and nature in life?). I think the mystery of the Killer Whales but the whole complexity that lies behind the fascination of how these animals function and also how deeply affected Killer Whales are by their emotions/when they are absent from their kin, just opens up another big question of family dynamics and how we relate to one another and how principles we always condoned to human beings now apply to animals too. I think the whole part about the Killer Whales relation to emotions and their family's cultures just really made me link them to Cancer. Leo: Otter. I refer o the meaning of teh Otter based on my tarot deck. The Otter resembles the energy of the inner child: it's pure bliss, playfulness, they love to live and live for life itself, and out of this eagerness to enjoy life comes also a contentment and completeness towards life itself. To reconnect with otter energy, it is advised to step into settings of celebration, or total creative self expression and from the outside looking 'unproductive/selfish' indulgence. But actually, this energy is what makes life so enjoyable in the first place.

Virgo: Octopus. Highly intelligent beings that can quickly adapt and take the initiative. Self sufficient by nature, they aren't aggressive unless provoked, they like to mind their business unless they get curious (then they cling heavy onto you because you are their new object of interest). They can change color if it's needed (Virgo is a mutuable sign and can blend in perfectly in social occasions/new situations) and tbh the inking part about octopus just reminds me of the fact that most Virgos have a really quirky side to them you only get to see when you annoy them long enough (aka you are a long term friend). Libra: Gazelle. I refer to the meaning of ten Gazelle based on my tarot deck. The gazelle combines the creation of beauty and harmony, creativity and hyper awareness of it's surroundings, very affected of the imbalances in it's environment, but in it's try to remain this beauty around them, they tend to forget their achievments and stay in the present with their thoughts, as they constantly wheigh out the 'what if's'. A very perceptive animal in the tarot deck and this attribute is equally it's strong suit and downfall. Scorpio: Tiger. I refer here to the meaning of the Tiger based on my tarot deck. Waits in stillness and darkness to reconnect to their own inner power. Healing in isolation with the help of the lunar forces, waiting to regenerate. The Tiger energy shows itself in being passionate, sensual and stepping into ones own power, recognizing ones strength. For me, this is very Scorpio (Moon) for me. When the Tiger in unbalanced, it becomes overstimulated and acts according to this hyperawareness. Sagittarius: Zebra. I refer here to the meaning of the Zebra based on my tarot deck. The Zebra stands for an open mind, visionary and eccentric, new thinking, as well as being young at heart and expansion. I personally connect horses with passion and drive, because they are truly powerhouses. Based on the meaning of my tarit deck, the Zebra also is sociable, at least people find themselves drawn to the energy of the Zebra because it triggers their desire to learn, and I think this is something very beautiful Sagittarius symbolizes when they come into your life: be prepared to broaden your horizon for more. 

Capricorn: Camel. I refer to the meaning of the Camel based on my tarot deck. Camels here represent absolute dependence on self and being able to find the answer to problems in oneself. This self reliance and capability reminds me of capricorns, the camel is finding the 'cool' aka water inside of them and Capricorn is traditionally also symbolized as the sea-goat (which I seriously think should really be considered when anaylzing this archetype) and Capricorns have (imo at least) a rich emotional life, but it's just deeply locked within. The Camel represents showing responsibility for their own actions, regulating the self and circumstances around them as best as they can, which makes sense for Capricorns, ruled by Saturn they usually are confronted with task in their life. If the Camel energy is out of balance, it shows a lack of vitality, with Capricorn representing the senior age in life makes sense, especially since Capricorns can tend to feel very old (exhausted)- Aquarius: Platypus- and no, I’m not using the Platypus because ‚wow all Aquarius are so weird like straight up aliens 🤪🤪’ I think the platypus is a good representation because it makes us question what we’ve known so far about animals and Aquarius too is a sign that introduces us to new ideas and perspectives all in the favor of progress and considering alternatives, leaving the status quo. Pisces:  Raven/Crow. I name these two in particular because as far as I know it’s only the ravens that have been documented intimating people’s voices and tones, but crows are definitely more known for their bright mind. For me people often forget Pisces mutable nature and how quick witted they actually are. These birds are hyper intelligent and their observational skills are truly amazing. In my Wild Uknown Animal Spirit deck, the crow is an animal carrying 3rd eye energy. Here, the view is clear, the crow is moving through different dimensions and sees what other’s cant. For and the emotional depth (void) Pisces is conencted to it just seem to make sense.

pairing: Leo x Daughter of Apollo

requested: hell ye!! hope you enjoy it xo 

warnings: none?? yr half sibs n nico are all protective over you but nothing unhealthy lol

summary: You and Leo have been crushing on each other and cockblocked by your siblings for too long, so you decide to take matters into your own hands. 

reccomended songs: sunshine - atlas, musetta’s waltz - moonstruck soundtrack

a/n: not super edited but what’s new lol  i just forgot how to spell edit for a hot second lmao

requests r open babes xo

Between your siblings being ready to maul someone with arrows (and bad music) at a moment’s notice, and Nico - honorary brother and the Apollo cabin’s unofficial bodyguard, dating is… tricky. Even your uncoordinated eight year old half brother Kevin has offered to bang on a guitar and scream, making everyone’s ears bleed. A few weeks ago, an Ares kid made your little sister Sophie cry, and Nico found out. The entire Ares cabin spent two weeks getting all the skeletons out of their closets. Literally. More human bones would appear every time they cleared some out, rattling unsettlingly. People generally don’t mess with you, or other Apollo kids, which you usually don’t mind. You wouldn’t even give it a second thought.

But you did give it a second thought. And a third. And a fourth. And several others. All of them centered around Leo Valdez. You’ve been admiring him from afar for weeks. You didn’t know why his friends were so hard on him at times. You got the vibe that if he started dating someone, his friends would give him the ‘hurt them and we’ll kill you’ speech instead of the other way around. 

At first simply observing was cathartic, seeing him fix swords and laugh with his friends, but as time went on, it just became frustrating. You just want something to happen, you want to make him as happy as he makes you. The most frustrating part was that there had been so many missed opportunities. There was the time two weeks ago when you were flirting after picking up your harp bow from getting a few touch ups, the time after that you two lost track of time and watched the sunset on the docks, and just days ago when you stayed up late talking in Bunker 9 when neither of you could sleep. 

Every single time, one of your siblings either scared him off or dragged you away before you could leave. Most recently, it was Will and Nico. You could swear Nico was muttering to Will, something along the lines of “what is it with that guy and going after my little sisters?”  This wasn’t surprising, since they got together, the whole cabin has made Nico feel really welcome, resulting in him treating you all like sibling-figures. 

You shake your head, trying to focus on the sparring practice that starts in a few minutes. Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter are arranging the first inter-camp capture the flag match, and everyone’s really excited. And training like crazy. If it goes well, it might happen as frequently as once a month, but you have to get through this one, first. Most of the extra time at camp has been spent practicing sparring, battle strategy, and other tactics. Campers were encouraged to watch other fights closely, try to spot defensive weaknesses, and study technique. Right now, Leo and Jason are demonstrating some method of something or other. You’re watching Leo fight, and you’re just… awestruck. You don't even know what to do with yourself. He's agile and light on his feet, and he moves almost like a cat. His muscles flex as he strikes, and your heart lurches. It looks like he's losing. All of a sudden he smirks, and shoots out a blast of flame, sending Jason stumbling back. Campers applaud at the successful win, and he jokingly bows. 

"Thank you, thank you… I'm amazing, I know-" Jason shoves him jokingly, and clears his throat for the crowd's attention, while Leo gets a glass of water. 

"Okay guys, pair up to practice sparring. Don't be afraid to spar with someone new, the more fighting styles you know the better…" you turn towards the water cooler.  Watching him now, you could swear he's all god. He has a gold halo in the late afternoon sunshine, and a drop of water trickles down his face onto his neck. You make a small strangled noise and know this has gone far enough. You need to do something about this crush before it kills you. You walk over to him, and before you can chicken out, ask, “Hey Leo, want to spar?” He almost chokes on his water. He agrees, seeming pleasantly surprised that you asked him. You pull out your harp bow and he pulls out a large, flat hammer. 

‘Good for offense and defense,’ you think, ‘he’s smarter than he looks…’ 

You start off slowly, getting a feel for each other, and your fighting styles. You spar for hours, and end up tied for wins and losing track of time. He gets you off balance with a fancy move, and next thing you know, there’s a nail gun at your neck. 

“I win,” he pants, smirking. Your cheeks flush.

“Can you- show me how to do that?” you say, catching your breath. He agrees, and walks behind you, hands on yours. He shows you how to shift your weight, causing your opponent to lose theirs. His right hand moves to your thigh, readjusting your alignment. 

“...Keeping your center of gravity low,” he breathes, his lips dangerously close to your ear, “so you won’t fall.” Neither of you move away yet. You turn your face towards his, eyes on the ground.

“Can you… show me again…” you breathe. A smile twitches at his lips. He leans in, and-

“Apollo cabin, inspection time!” You jump away from each other.

“All Apollo campers back to cabin seven asap!” you flinch at your brother’s voice, which you know is directed at you. You sigh, turn towards him, and yell back, “I’m coming, just finishing this sparring match!” You see him retreat and turn back to Leo. Before he knows it, you have him pinned to the ground. 

“Gotcha,” you say with a smirk of your own. You lean further down, and whisper, “Meet me at the docks at midnight.” You pull away, and jog off toward your cabin, leaving Leo flustered and excited. 

Later that night when you finally reach the docks, Leo’s already there. “Hi,” he says when he sees you, “I know I’m a little bit early I just… got nervous…” You giggle and reassure him.

“I just hope I didn’t keep you waiting for too long,” 

“Don’t worry,” he replies, “it was worth the wait.” You blush. He looks around, and you realize he’s nervous.

“Don’t worry about the cleaning harpies,” you comfort him, “I left them some muddy armor to distract them, we should be good for a while,” you both laugh a little, and you realize he’s staring at you. You look at him inquisitively, a smile playing at your lips and a blush creeping up your cheeks.

“What?”

"You're glowing," he breathes the words softly, amazed by your presence. You look down at your arms, and blush. Your cheeks turn a soft, fluorescent shade of rose. Bioluminescence was a very rare, pretty useless power that some children of Apollo could have. It did, however, allow you to act as a nightlight for your cabin, which everyone (older kids included) enjoyed. No one in your cabin did well in the dark, so everyone slept a little better since you'd been claimed. 

“You are glowing, right? It’s not just me?” he asks, half joking. 

“Yeah, no,” you confirm, snapping out of your thoughts, “that’s a… thing that happens sometimes. It’s saved me a lot of bruised shins in the middle of the night.” As you both laugh, you decide enough is enough. 

“So, I’m taking the fact that you showed up here at all a good sign,” you say, knowing you have to start somewhere, “I don’t really know how to say this, so I’m just going to say it.” Your adrenaline is racing. Your limbs are tingly, and your heart is beating so fast. You know you have his full attention, which makes all of that worse. It’s now or never, you remind yourself, and I’m choosing now.

“I have a huge crush on you.” Visible surprise and excitement is all over his face and body language, and an involuntary smile starts on his mouth. You continue, partially aware that you’re nervous rambling at this point.

“I was hoping you might say it first, but my siblings and Nico are so intimidating and I was like forget that, I’m seizing the day, and…”

“And?” he asks, in a breathless smile.

“And… do you-”

“I like you too. A lot - just ask my friends, I never shut up about you-” You can’t hold back a giggle as you place your hands on his face and pull him in for a kiss. He’s stunned for a second before he kisses you back, gently resting his hands on your arms. You smile into the kiss, which makes him smile, and-

“What the hell, Valdez?!” 

You jump, pulling apart from him. 

“Will! What are you-” before you can finish the thought, darkness pools at his feet and suddenly Nico is standing in front of him. He greets Will with a mushy pet name and leans in to kiss him, but Will stops him before he can and clears his throat. 

“Wha-” Nico turns his head, “...oh…” 

You laugh in disbelief. Mr. High And Mighty was here for the exact same reason you were. You smile fades as you realize that even though you have dirt on him, he still has dirt on you. 

“You know,” you say, reaching for Leo’s hand, “I don’t know if I saw you here, or what…” 

Will wraps an arm around Nico, and starts in the opposite direction. “Funny, I don’t remember seeing you either,” he shrugs.

“Right,” you reply. 

“Right.”

You both drag your respective boyfriends in opposite, more private directions. Suffice it to say, there was a lot more kissing that night - and no more interruptions.

The two tallest of the bunch were getting ready while Olive was sitting on the couch next to her brother who was looking much better after sleeping for twenty hours. Olive was wearing the exact same thing as her dad, light jeans with white shirts, flannels under their company track jackets. Her hair was in two braids down her back that her dad did, she was also wearing Logan's snapback that was much too large for her but she was gonna miss him even if it was only for the night. Well, more like one evening.

Leo walks out of the master bedroom still wearing his thin wire framed glasses.

“Harzy, did you move my contracts again?”

“Nope, if I remember correctly you’re out until Monday.”

“What day even is today?”

“Thursday, mon solie” Logan shook his head, smiling a little as he watched them get ready, saying he was nervous about today felt right. Leo said the edge of the storm would be hitting Gryffindor but it shouldn’t be anything too crazy, plus he had Otto to keep him company. A sick child that loves storms, fuck he was screwed. He felt something rub against the back of his leg and smiled a little. When Olive ran off the other day she walked back out of those bushes holding a giant cat, it was the same size as her. She named it Ilya and since she named it they had to keep it. When they walked in the door with a giant mass of grey and white fur Leo just stared at them dumbfounded. ‘You let her pick up a stray cat! What if it's sick! What if it scratched her and gave her something!’ ‘Daddy her name is Ilya!’ He just blinked at them a couple of times and sighed before giving his boyfriends a pointed look. ‘You guys take care of all the things Ilya needs, including vet appointments.’ He shook his head, having the scowl melt off his face when Ilya trotted over to Otto and rubbed up against his hand purring, making a sleepy smile cross the young boy's face. “Hello Smelly” He smiles and picks up the fat cat walking towards the couch to sit next to the kids.

“Logan, are you gonna be okay?” Olive looks over to him from where her and Otto were playing fruit ninja on the table their mom got for them. “I don’t want you to be all scared”

“Of course I will be okay, I have Otto, non?” Otto leans into his side and sniffles a little nodding, God these two are so cute. He lets go of Ilya and settles herself on top of Otto's lap covering the whole thing. She purrs so loud they’re surprised she hasn’t knocked the apartment off its foundation. “So cute” He gives Otto a kiss on the top of his head and pet their ball of fur.

There was a buzz from the doorman downstairs letting them know someone was on their way up, Leo’s parents were there and Finn was getting jittery. He had never been inside of a storm like this but the visuals were supposedly amazing this time of year in Hufflepuff, sunflower fields were in full bloom and there shouldn’t be too much rain, but a tornado was almost guaranteed to drop. Finn was already feeling the adrenaline of seeing a tornado for the first time. Was it going to be beautiful or terrifying? What if it killed th-

“Finn!” He was engulfed into a tight hug as Eloise surprised him. The breath was forced out of him while Wyatt, who was holding Olive now, and Leo chatted away about how this evening would go. “Ready to get into a storm! I’m so happy you decided to come, but it’s okay if you want to stay here and keep Olive here. She will most likely stay in the motel room we use as homebase because it’s too easy to lose her out in the field. But she loves it anyway.” She ruffles his hair and he turns a little red.

“I’m nervous, not gonna lie, maybe I’ll stay with Olive in homebase then.” He smiles shyly and she laughs a little nodding. They walk over to join the other two who are discussing the large cat that has hidden Otto in its fluffy.

“Sure you don’t want to come, Tremz?” Wyatt smiles a calm one at him as Olive rests her head on her Pawpaw’s shoulder. “Maybe we could help break your fear of storms, we are family now.” Logan smiles at the feeling of being accepted into the Knut’s so easily.

“No thanks I’ll keep Otto and Ilya company.”

“Alright, we are gonna head out then.” Eloise leans down to kiss Otto’s head and Logan's cheek, then she remembers something. “I almost forgot.” She opens up her ridiculously large purse and pulls out three large books. “Photo Albums you asked for” Leo smiles and takes them giving his mom a kiss on each kiss and sets them on the coffee table. “Alright let’s go. By sweeties!” They all gave goodbye kisses and hugs as they walked out the door. Heading to Hufflepuff.

Otto yawns and looks up at Logan. “Tremz can we take a nap in your room?” He is barely able to keep his eyes open and his head is lightly nodding to one side. The smile it brings to Logan's face is one of being totally wrapped around this child's finger.

“Want me to carry you?” He sees the smallest little nod and stands up, scooping up the young boy and the cat, walking to the bedroom while feeling Otto’s forehead. He’s still a bit warm but not as bad as the last few days. Laying down the small boy he tucks him in and crawls under the cover on the other side. Ilya is between them on her back already snoring.

“Goodnight Logan, I love you” it was so quiet Logan almost missed it, that was the first time Otto had ever said that to either him or Finn, Olive had said it the first week of being there and all three older men got a little teary eyed in secret about it later. Logan's heart was vibrating in his chest and he felt himself smiling into the dark room.

“I love you too buddy”

Olive was bouncing in her carseat and like she does, talking a mile a minute.

“How long is the drive? Are we there? Will there be lightning? What about thunder? Daddy, can I have some water? Where's my snack? I don’t like frosted flakes!” She started throwing a fit over how she hasn't had Reese's puffs in weeks and Leo was trying to explain why they couldn’t have them in the house because of Otto's allergy. She started crying because ‘I don’t want him to die!’ and then Finn had to explain how he wasn’t gonna die right then and there. All the why the grandparents were giggling in the front seats.

After a two hour drive they pulled into the parking lot where many large dented up vans with camera equipment and radars are, there was a door to a motel room open on the ground floor that people were constantly going in and out of. Finn was getting nervous all over again, there were so many people and they would make so many assumptions.

“Don’t worry, they think Olive and Otto are my siblings and you’re my best friend.” Leo smiles at him as Olive just keeps on talking. “Olive, remember who I am around large groups of people.”

“Frère!” She smiles at him and kicks her legs a little. “Can we go now!” Leo unbuckles her and they get out of the truck. Everyone smiles and greets Leo like old friends. Finn is introduced to so many people he doesn’t have any chance of remembering. Walking into the motel room a large hairy man was sitting in front of four different computer screen his hair was up in a bun and his large beard was braided, his glasses were small and on the tip of his nose. “Hagrid!” Olive runs over to him and jumps in his lap startling him but then he smiles and hugs her.

“Hello little one, ‘owve you been.” He smiles and looks up. “Leo, haven’t seen you in a while mate, and I see you’ve brought a friend. NHL roommate I’m guessing.” Everything fell into place after that.

This was going to be okay, and maybe they won’t get ate by a tornado after all.

3 am Talks - hq pt 3

a/n: almost done, two more left!! i’m not sure why, but these ones were really fun for me to do and i had to cut myself off before i wrote whole fics for each one. also thank you to my wifey for helping me with akaashi, idk why his was so hard for me to do ): pairings: bokuto x reader, akaashi x reader, ushijima x reader, tendou x reader, semi x reader warnings: some spoilers for post timeskip, minor cussing, a bit suggestive (ushi) taglist: @babydabi​, @suckersuki​, @bakugoustanaccount​, @animoozies​ part 2 | part 4

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾　*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

⇾ definitely someone who talks about the first things that just pop into his mind ⇾ would literally change topics in the middle of his sentence ⇾ “did you see my last spread, I was centerfold Tsum-Tsum was not happy but when I offered to trade places with him, it made him even more mad - I just got an email saying my new knee pads have been shipped YES - babe are you hungry? Let’s go to the convenience store and get some snacks” ⇾ all over the place ⇾ but the second sleep starts to hit him, he become even softer than he already is ⇾ this baby would def be asking for validation without outright asking for it - we all know he lives to be praised but as he gets older, he stops asking for it directly ⇾ i feel like he just becomes more self-conscious after he realizes that being on a national team means that now the entire WORLD is scrutinizing him ⇾ i could keep going on about him imma stop

“I couldn’t help it, I started laughing.” Even hours later, Bokuto was trying to hold in laughter from the memory of the event. “I think that’s why he’s mad at you Kou.” Bokuto pouted. “I offered to help him up.” “Yeah, but you were also red from laughing so hard and wiping the tears from your eyes. I don’t think he appreciated that.” Bokuto got quiet and you knew what that meant. “But at the end of the day, the pictures came out amazing. You look amazing.” His smile, although soft compared to his usual grin, came back. “You think so?” You hummed. “If volleyball doesn’t work out, you could be a model. I already know one of my friends has a shrine dedicated to you. Which honestly feels weird, but hey, if it’s harmless why should I care?” you said, going off on a tangent. Bokuto brushed off the compliment that normally would’ve stroked his ego. “Nah, I don’t think I could handle the pressure.” You cocked an eyebrow. “People constantly judging you and criticizing you. You know me, I thrive with praise and…” “Become emo with criticism?” He let out a dry chuckle. “Yeah. I’m trying to change.” You reached over and caressed his cheek. “There’s a difference between growing up and mellowing out and changing who you are. You’ve done the growing up part and you’re slowly mellowing out as much as you can. But please don’t change.” “But people keep saying -” “Forget what they say. I love you the way you are now.” Bokuto’s full grin returned to his face. “I love you more.”

.・゜-: ✧ :-　-: ✧ :-゜・．

⇾ more of a listener he learned his ways from babysitting bo ⇾ he would just enjoy listening to whatever you had on your mind ⇾ one to add his own commentary and thoughts to whatever you were saying ⇾ if he were to talk though, he would reminisce  ⇾ talks of bokuto and his old team, things he misses ⇾ but speaking of bokuto, he would go off on how proud he is seeing his former ace doing so well for himself now - even if he still isn’t a normal player ⇾ depending on how open he’s feeling, he might even wander into his insecurities and childhood, things he doesn’t really open up about unless he feels really close to you

“And then I booked it out of there,” you finished your story. Akaashi hummed. “What about the other girl who was still working?” “Look, she never sticks around to help me when I have extra work, I wasn’t going to stick around to help her.” He cracked a smile at your pettiness. “Wait, didn’t you have lunch with Bokuto today?” “Yes. It was nice.” You waited a moment thinking that Akaashi would add more. “That’s it? It was nice?” “Well, you know how he is. But it was nice to see him trying to change himself. Well, improve himself.” You rolled over from your back onto his chest and reached up to play with his hair. “We talked a lot about playing during high school and what the others are doing these days. Everyone is so busy now, it’s hard to keep up. I’m proud of them.” You didn’t let the smile on Akaashi’s face go unnoticed, commenting on how it always seemed to be there whenever he talked about his former ace. “Leave me alone, I’m happy with how far he’s come on his own. I can’t but smile when I think about the people I love.” “Do you smile when you think about me?” “Of course I do, you idiot,” he replied before kissing your forehead.

.・゜-: ✧ :-　-: ✧ :-゜・．

⇾ i very strongly believe he would talk about parallel universes ⇾ he would go into the existence of them but also like ‘what if there was a way for people in a parallel universe who could watch me as if my life was a movie’ ⇾ if he was in a more serious mood, like if he had a big match coming up or sum, he would talk more about his goals ⇾ the things he hopes to accomplish in the future, the outcomes he wants in life ⇾ if he was tired, it would be more like akaashi - more listening, less talking ⇾ i feel like he would always want to know what’s happening in your mind so he would ask you the most random questions or just want to listen to you talk as he drifts off to sleep

“Do you think they saw me when I tripped over Leo and dropped the dishes?” You remembered when he tripped over the cat the two of you were raising and ended up breaking a few plates. As annoyed as you were that the plates you like broke, it gave you a reason to go domestic shopping with your boyfriend. You sighed. “No Toshi. If they were watching you, it would be when you’re playing volleyball or taking a shower.” “But you’re in the shower with me sometimes. You think they saw what we were doing?” “If they did,” you started with your eyebrows raised, “I hope they enjoy it as much I do.” He chuckled. “Why when I’m playing volleyball?” “Because that’s your job now. What else would they watch you do? Play with Leo?” He didn’t reply as he looked down to the cat in his lap. Petting it, the two of you sat in silence for a while. You finally thought he dropped the topic as you started to drift to sleep. “I wonder if the people watching like me. Or what if they think I’m the villain?” You sat up in bed. “Why would you think you would be a villain in a show about volleyball?” “I don’t know. I could be a side character that no one likes.” His voice got quieter the more he talked. “Aw, Toshi. I’m sure you have many, many fans in this parallel universe who all wish to be dating you. You never intentionally hurt anyone. You tried, in your own way, to work with Oikawa, but it’s not like you sabotaged him or anything.” He nodded. “He should’ve come to Shiratorizawa. We could’ve been that impressive first year duo instead of Hinata and Kageyama.” You rubbed his shoulder. “I know, baby. You remind me of that at least once a month.”

.・゜-: ✧ :-　-: ✧ :-゜・．

⇾ he would get deep ⇾ talks about his childhood where he was bullied to where he is now ⇾ while he has his insecurities, he would still be very proud of himself and how far he’s come and everything he accomplished ⇾ on the topic of being proud, he would never pass up the opportunity to talk up his bff ushi and he would hype him up even though it’s just the two of you ⇾ he wouldn’t forget about the other third years aka his other ‘best friends’ (i use quotes bc he only has eyes for ushi lezbehonest) ⇾ the talk would shift over to you and how lucky he feels to have found you ⇾ half of the things he would say would just to get you all embarrassed and shy so he could tease you about it

You woke up an hour ago because when you went to snuggle with your boyfriend, his body was missing from bed. For the last hour, he talked to you about how much he’s grown over the years, not once stopping to let you say anything. You finally had enough of this monologue. “Satori, how much more can you possibly say? It’s been a whole ass hour. Get your ass to bed so I can snuggle with you and lemme sleep.” Sighing, he walked away from the window where he was using the light from the moon to set the mood of his speech. Getting into bed, he waited until you were satisfied and closed your eyes. “But also, Wakatoshi has gotten so far on his own. I couldn’t be more proud of my best friend.” “Satori, please. For the love of God.” “Babe, you gotta let me air this out. Good communication and all that.” “We don’t have a single problem that needs to be ‘aired out’ right now. I got work in the morning and you like the sound of your own voice.” That still didn’t stop him. “And Semi, I gotta hand it to him, the man finally learned how to dress properly. And his music isn’t that bad either so I gotta find something new to annoy him with now. Reon is still keeping his fighting spirit alive and playing volleyball too. My friends, all doing so well.” Tendou glanced down at you who had fallen asleep to his heart beats. “But you. I’m the most proud of you. I’m so lucky to have found you. Not that I needed someone in my life at the time, but all the happiness you’ve given me on top of the great things in my life. You’re an amazing person, and I appreciate the impact you’ve made in my life.”

.・゜-: ✧ :-　-: ✧ :-゜・．

⇾ before we start with semisemi, he plays bass and sings in his band but he also plays the piano and guitar (these are MY OWN hcs, none of this is canon) ⇾ that being said, he would stay up late at night playing his guitar, working on songs and quietly singing lyrics to himself ⇾ his talks would be about purpose - like why he’s on this earth similar to hinata ⇾ aha ha ha so if yall read kuroo’s, you know how i feel about scorpios ⇾ semi babe is not safe from that either ⇾ while he is bad at opening up, he also has a short temper so expect apologies for his random outbursts from him ⇾ imma touch on this more in my semi relationship hcs so i shall stop here

You had been on your computer, finishing up some work of yours that you had been procrastinating on with Semi sitting on the couch, strumming his guitar as he worked on a new song. You hadn’t been paying attention the entire time, not until you closed your laptop and sat back in your chair. “Eita, what’s that song?” Your sudden question caused him to jump a little. “Oh, uh, I didn’t realize you were listening.” “I just heard you singing. What is that?” He rubbed the nape of his neck. “I was hoping to hold out until it was finished.” You walked over to him, draping your arms around his shoulders and leaning your weight on him. You read the lyrics he had so far, your eyes growing bigger with each line. “What… is this?” “An apology.” You pulled away from him. “I know I’m not the easiest boyfriend and that when I have a problem, I should say something rather than exploding on you over the littlest thing. I didn’t really know how else to express this without messing it all up.” “I’ve known you for a long time, I wouldn’t be with you if I didn’t figure that much out.” “But still, it doesn’t mean that I should just stay this way. I should be growing with you as a person, not stuck how I am. I really do need to learn to express myself better.” You let out a small chuckle. “Like I haven’t heard that one before.” You had. Four times already. “And this will be the last. Thank you for putting up with me.” Your arms wrapped around him once again. “Next time, I expect an entire album with love songs dedicated to me. Got it?” “Well fuck, I better not mess up. I don’t have enough material for an entire love album.” You shoved him. “Hey! Maybe I will leave your sorry ass.” “I’m just kidding! Babe! Where are you going?!”

Radio Hearts, chapter 4!! @scentedcandlecryptid @digitl-art-monstr

Shelldon woke up.

The sleep passed by as quickly as it always did and the first thing the drone did was go quickly over to the mirror to see if anything about him had changed. He didn't feel any different, but it could never hurt to check, right?

Shelldon gasped when he saw himself. Then he gasped again when he realized he was able to gasp. That wasn’t a recording— that was a new voice. His voice? The reflection staring back at him was a new one; colored a bright purple with streaks of pink going along his sides and on the ridges of his shell. At first he thought his propellers gone, until he located them again. They had been moved; where there had once been only one on his shell, there were now four in the places of his flippers. He moved one, and then the other. And then he moved all four, all independent of each other. He had never been able to do that before!

Then he noticed his sensors; no, not sensors. Eyes. Expression-filled, bright yellow eyes that stood out against his color scheme. Pupils that dilated and constricted and spiraled on his command. And his mouth was almost like a screen! Just like with his eyes, he could flip between various expressions of joy and sadness and anger. Genuine expressions of his own!

“Woahhh…” Shelldon’s voice sounded strange to him, new and almost vibrating within him, but he didn't mind. He had a voice! A voice all his own!

Donatello walked up beside Shelldon with a soft smile; not one of the fake ones he’d often force upon himself, but a real smile. He reached over and touched Shelldon on the head, giving him a gentle scratch just like Splinter always did.

Shelldon almost collapsed with the vibrating euphoria of the touch. He had felt touch before, but never in such an intense sensation that made his motor rumble, and his eyes take on a mind of their own. Though he could still see out of them, the sensors showed his eyes shut and a smile on his face that almost resembled a W. The touch felt nice!

“You like that, Shelldon?”

Shelldon found himself rubbing against Donatello’s hand with much the same affection that a cat would.

“I’m going to take that as a yes.”

***

“Hey Mikey!” Donatello called as he and Shelldon approached the mutant. “Mind if Shelldon plays a few rounds with you?”

Michelangelo caught his ball and gave an uncertain whine, hugging the toy tightly to his chest. “I don’t know, Dee. I just got this ball…”

“I’ll get you a brand new one if anything happens, which it won’t!” Donatello declared, adding the second part quickly when Michelangelo seemed uncertain.

“Please?” Shelldon asked, and his eyes went circular and watery in a begging expression..

“Awww….” Michelangelo cooed, and then seemed to brighten. “Okay. Go over there.”

Shelldon looked to Donatello for permission before drifting over to the place that Michelangelo had indicated.

“Okay…” Michelangelo gave his new ball one last hug before he threw it to Shelldon.

Shelldon was ready. He did the same move he had done before, realizing a little too late that the move had been one of his many faults before. The ball struck home and Shelldon awaited the violent pop, but it never came. Instead, the ball bounced effortlessly off of Shelldon’s carapace and flew right back to Michelangelo. Michelangelo gave an excited squeal as he caught the ball and held it tightly to his chest a moment before tossing it right back to Shelldon.

***

Donatello let Michelangelo and Shelldon play their catch game for almost twenty minutes before he and Shelldon moved on. Shelldon felt… happy. He had never felt emotions as genuine and strong as he had since he woke up the previous time. He couldn’t help but wonder if Donatello had been the source of that. Either way, he stayed close to his maker even as his eyes tried to linger on almost everything they passed.

“Hey Raph!” Donatello called as they entered the weight room. “Leon!”

Raphael gave a curious hum as he looked over at Donatello and Shelldon. “Oh. Hey…”

Leonardo was spotting the snapper and he seemed far more excited to see his twin and the drone. “Hey! There’s my main man! And Donnie.”

“Brothers, you remember dear Shelldon.” Donatello smiled and motioned to the drone, pointedly ignoring Leonardo

“Yeah…” Raphael’s head started to sink into his shell until he got a better look at Shelldon. “Hey. He looks different.”

“Yep. Gave ‘em a few new upgrades. You like?”

Raphael pursed his lips as he leaned in closer to look at Shelldon. Then he smiled. “He’s got eye’s now!”

“He’s always had eyes.” Leonardo pointed out.

“Yeah but they’re like… like real eyes! Not weird eh… blank ones.”

“And he can talk.” Donatello gave Shelldon a pat on the side. “Go on Shelldon. Say something.”

Shelldon hesitated. “Something.”

Raphael gasped. “Aw! Your voice is so cute!”

Leonardo butted in, leaning his head into Raphael’s shoulder. “Does it like, change or something?”

“Shelldon has exactly 16 different emoticons to express different emotions he may be feeling at any given moment.” Donatello explained. “He can also switch between them at will if he ever needs to manipulate, but you didn't hear that from me.”

To show off Donatello’s work, Shelldon rapidly flicked between all the expressions at his disposal. Both Raphael and Leonardo seemed to share a similar awe, leaning in closer to get a better look at Shelldon.

“Snazzy~!” Leonardo exclaimed.

“He’s like the roomba but cuter!”

Donatello gasped and grabbed Shelldon, hugging him close. “Don’t you dare compare him to the roomba!”

“He’s got hands now too?” Leonardo got closer so he could touch Shelldon’s front hovers.

“Technically, they’re flippers.” Donatello corrected, sticking his nose in the air.

“Eh, hands, flippers, whatever.” Leonardo moved and shifted the hover around to look at it closely.

“It’s never bad to be accurate.” Donatello scowled.

“What kinda turtle is he based off of anyway?” Leonardo slid to behind Shelldon to play with his back flippers.

Shelldon whined and tried to pull his feet away. Donatello noticed immediately and yanked Shelldon away from Leonardo’s curious touch.

“He’s based off a mix of softshell and leatherback.” Donatello explained proudly.

“Really?” Leonardo returned to stand once more beside Raphael. “But his nose is small, and so’s his forehead.”

“Nardo leave my forehead out of this.”

“I mean, that thing’s so big even Dora can’t explore it. Mountain climbers are too scared to try and surmount it cause they could never bring enough food for that journey!”

“That’s tough talk for the eighth forgotten dwarf.”

Leonardo gasped loudly. “Don’t you dare talk about my height!”

“Well don’t bring my forehead into this!”

“Guys.” Raphael got between the two of them before it could go any further. “Don, your toy’s cool. Please go somewhere else before Leo brings out the mad scientist jokes.”

“Speaking of mad scientists” Leonardo started.

“No, no no no no.” Raphael corrected, pushing back against Leonardo when the slider tried to resist him. “None of that. Don, go now.”

Donatello took his brother’s advice and left with Shelldon. Shelldon looked back at Raphael and Leonardo, his screen showing a frown and sensors showing sad eyes.

“Toy…?”

***

As usual, when the time came where the brothers had to leave, Shelldon was left in the loving care of Splinter. Splinter was thrilled when he realized Shelldon could talk back now, and their discussions after each movie increased tenfold now that Splinter was actually getting responses. Shelldon couldn’t remember ever seeing the old man smile so much; it made him smile in turn. Seeing Splinter happy made him happy. Somehow the movies seemed even clearer than they had in Shelldon’s previous upgrade. He had a better understanding of the words and their meanings, and when emotion spilled into the characters voices, Shelldon could feel it too.

When Splinter pet Shelldon like he did every day as they spent time together, it felt even more euphoric. Each gentle stroke and rub sent shockwaves through Shelldon’s wires and that gentle rumbling returned like it had when Donatello had pet him.

“Are you purring?” Splinter commented, looking over Shelldon with a wider smile creasing across his face. “That’s adorable.”

The compliment only made Shelldon purr even more. Yes, he was purring! He wondered for a moment why Donatello would bother with what must have been a useless upgrade, but then Splinter started to pet him again and all his thoughts were lost with the love he felt both from Splinter and in his own chest.

***

“Shelly…”

Shelldon’s sensors came to life from his charging at Donatello’s gentle urging. He was confused. Checking his charge, it was just barely halfway. It was hours before he was set to wake up, and Donatello had never woken him up so soon before. He barely had enough energy to hover, but he tried. Donatello picked him up immediately so he wouldn’t have to expend the power.

“Easy, Shell.” Donatello smiled, giving the drone a gentle stroke on his head, “I have a surprise.”

“A surprise?” Shelldon whirled. “But Dee. It’s early.”

“I know— I know I just couldn’t wait.” Donatello was practically melting with glee, his smile wide. “Here— I gotta turn you off real quick but it won’t be for long.”

“Turn me off? Why?”

“For the surprise!” Was all Donatello elaborated. “You trust me, don’t you? I— I’ve been working on it for a while! I know you’ll like it! But I gotta turn you off, just— just for a little bit!”

Shelldon tried to read Donatello’s expression, but all he could find was an overwhelming sense of pure excitement. Shelldon flashed a sleepy smile.

“Okay, Dee…”

At Donatello’s touch, Shelldon went to sleep.

[silver-blooded-synthetics]

I was feeling melancholy and poetic, so be warned, long post ahead.

You know, many of my muses have a special place they go when they need to think and just be alone with their thoughts. When that melancholy 3am insomnia hits and all your thoughts are suddenly so deep and profound, like the universe is opening up your mind to give you some personal truth, or when you’re looking for answers and feel all alone in the world and lost, searching for a connection to something you can’t describe. Each of my muses experiences these surreal moments and have a special place specific to them where they go to process these feelings and thoughts.

Simon tends to curl up in the windowsill of his apartment on the top floor of New Jericho, looking out at the city lights while he muses about all his insecurities and worries, hopes and dreams. Sometimes he’ll bring one of the stray cats that hang out around New Jericho up to his apartment and feed them before holding them in his lap and petting them while staring out the window and thinking. He is especially drawn to the window on rainy, overcast days and nights. Often times he listens to music and yearns for someone to share his thoughts and feelings with. Someone that he can connect to on a deeper level. Someone he can love and that will love him in return.

When Markus is plagued by nightmares and the ghosts of the revolution, he checks on Carl in the night before leaving the house and going for a walk until he reaches the pier where old Jericho used to float on the waters. He walks along the docks and looks out over the river, often staying until the sun starts to come up over the horizon and paint the sky with warm, early daybreak colors that contrast the crisp morning air. He imagines the souls of all the androids that were lost in the revolution and tries to reach back for them. Tell them that he’s sorry and that he loves them. Asks them for advice and comfort. Laments their loss and regrets not being able to save everyone. Dreams of a world where he can prevent any more loss and makes a silent promise to work towards solving all the issues and obstacles they all still face as a people.

For Leo, it’s the high places that call to him late at night when all the fear and anxiety gnaw away at his heart and mind, keeping him awake no matter how tired he is. He’ll climb out his window onto the fire escape and up to the roof of his apartment building. Or if that isn’t high enough to take him away from all his problems, he’ll go explore the city until he finds a structure tall enough to make him feel like he’s flying away from the struggles his life presents him with. And once he feels like he’s on top of the world, as close to how the drugs used to make him feel, he will lay down, sometimes with his legs or arms dangling off the edge dangerously, and just stare up at the stars, finding comfort in how insignificant he is in the grand scheme of things. That in the end, no one will remember him and all the damage he never wanted to cause but was never in control enough to stop. And maybe, if he’s feeling particularly lucky, he’ll wish upon one of those stars for someone to actually like him for who he is, and maybe even love him.

Some might think that Elijah’s place to think is in his pool, but not really. His safe place to escape the world and feel safe with his own thoughts has always been in his workshop, working on his machines. The only things he ever truly loved and that ever showed him true love back. Where he can create and bring his lonely ideas to life. And when he does give them life, he can bounce ideas off of them and they speak back to him. Because Elijah feels that androids are some of the only people on par with his way of thinking, he values their insights and can finally feel like someone else understands him. See him for who he really is and appreciate him. It’s the only safe space he has to truly be himself and let his thoughts run free.

Lysias tends to go down to the old fighting ring where they used to feel most alive by taking the lives of others. They’ll sit in the center of the now vacant pit and meditate, surrounded by thirium and blood stains that never could quite be washed away completely. Their mind focuses on their goals and how to achieve them, but ghosts of the past are restless and sharp and try to intrude on Lysias’ lucid dreaming. Lysias can barely keep them at bay, but never shows any emotion or remorse. They ignore the constant thrum of RA9 beating in their head, warning them with premonitions of their inevitable failure. They see only what they choose to see. And that is the fight for survival that they base their very existence on, the android battleground around them a constant reminder that they have always survived and they always will. Their thoughts are only of wrath and that is what keeps them endlessly driving forward.

Arda feels most at peace and able to think in nature. She walks barefoot out to fields of grass or forested ground covered in fallen trees, leaves, and foliage. She wanders among the trees and flowers while breathing in the sunshine and hoping for an answer to her life’s purpose someday. Something deeper than the function she was assigned upon activation. Something that really means something and connects her to the rest of the universe and all the other lives in it. She feels the texture of dirt between her toes and the turn of the earth through the galaxy and she chooses to imagine and believe. She dances through the greenery and hopes that it makes someone secretly watching smile.

Alma secludes himself into the complex recesses of his own mind, entering stasis and initiating his dream cycle. It’s the one place where nothing makes sense and yet everything does. It’s where he can work through his own experiences and thoughts without hurting anyone else. But it was only ever safe for him once. His first dream was the only time he felt truly home, like he belonged and was loved. He always tries to chase this experience to have it again, hoping and wishing for nothing more than to capture that feeling once more and make it his forever. But it always slips away, and then something more stressful and frustrating appears to take its place. Sometimes the feeling is swallowed whole by something entirely sinister and Alma is left screaming until he wakes up and realizes he was crying in his sleep. But his thirst for knowledge and to understand himself always sends him back. And that deep, secret desire to belong and be loved. So his most in depth thinking is always done in his dreams, no matter how horrible they twist themselves or how hollow he may feel when he wakes.

They all have some unique place to hide away their private thoughts, and all have different ways of thinking. And, if your muse is lucky enough to be someone very special to them, they may be allowed to catch one of my muses in their secret place of contemplation. Maybe even invited into it. You could consider it a great show of trust and intimacy to experience such a thing. These are the most sacred and personal thoughts and places of my muses.

SHIP QUESTIONS FOR SMOOTH CRIMINAL

1. How did they first meet

Dionis met Leo in east LA, he was wearing floral shirts and as sweet as may. He sang in eighths in two Barrio chords and they fell in love in court.

(Leo needed a defense attorney and Dionis agreed. )

2. What was their first impression of each other?

Dio thought he was cute but also an idiot bc he got caught breaking into a hive in the middle of the day.

2. Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?

Neither of them had any friends or family when they met. Except for fish cat mom who disapproves of everyone.

2. Who felt romantic feelings first?

It’s very much mutual pining. When they won the case, Leo was so happy he kissed him and then it’s been downhill since.

2. Did either of them try to resist their feelings?

Both of them, constantly.

2. If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

Dio thinks that’s BS tbh

2. What would their lives be like if they had never met?

Dionis would still be working himself to an early grave as a lawyer and cat judge. He’s still kinda doing that, but he’s doing it less bc Leo convinced him to take breaks. Leo would be in jail.

GENERAL

1. Who initiated the relationship, and how did it go?

I’d say that Leo probably initiated it. He took Dionis to a fancy restaurant, bought him flowers and some new silver earrings and took him to the beach. Through much stuttering and blushing, he admitted he liked Dionis a lot and asked if he would be his mate but it’s okay if he says no and that if he’s being too forward he’s sorry and Dionis just puts a finger on his lip. “I was wondering when you’d finally ask.”

Because they’re gay.

2. Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?

They went out to dinner after winning the case, which was definitely more romantic than a simple client and lawyer celebratory dinner.

2. What was their first kiss like?

Like I said, it was when Dionis won their case and Leo got so excited he kissed him. And they both just blushed and pretended nothing happened.

2. Were they each other’s first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)?

I’m not sure about Leo, but not first anything for Dio.

2. What’s their height difference? Age difference?

Leo is I think 8’4? And Dionis is like 5’8”. They’re about the same age, Dionis might be older.

2. What’s their relationship with each other’s families?

Dio has no strong opinions on Bruuno, and Leo is terrified of FishCat mom, as any intelligent troll would be.

2. Who takes the lead in social situations?

Dionis!

2. Who gets jealous easier?

I’d say they both get jealous depending on the circumstances.

2. Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear?

Dionis, to get Leo to blush.

LOVE

1. Who said “I love you” first?

Leo!

2. What are their primary love languages?

Touch and gift giving i’d say.

Even mix.

Also an even mix bc even if Leo is 8’4” Dio is the top 😔

1. What are their favorite things to do together?

They probably cook and watch movies.

2. Who’s better at comforting the other?

Leo, Dionis tries to be detached from emotions.

Even mix tbh??

I’d say physical.

2. How do they celebrate holidays?

By being very gay.

2. Who’s more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning?

I’m not sure tbh? Dio works a lot and Leo knows that. So maybe on the days he has no work Leo could convince him.

2. Who’s the better cook?

Dionis!

1. Who likes to dance?

They slow dance together.

— THE ESSENTIALS

NAME: Esther Stella Natalia Garnier  NICKNAMES / NON DE PLUMES: Essie, Easy G, EnergG (it’s a pun because she’s a slot) AGE / BIRTHDAY: Thirty (30) / 5th of August  ZODIAC: Leo HOMETOWN: Sedona, but considers Phoenix her stomping grounds  ETHNICITY: Bulgarian, White  NATIONALITY: American GENDER / PRONOUNS: cis woman / feminine pronouns (she/hers)  SEXUALITY: Homosexual Homoromantic (Lesbian)  FACE CLAIM: Nina Dobrev 

— THE NEED TO KNOW

BIRTH ORDER: First child, first daughter, followed by three other siblings  PARENTS: Martin Garnier, Ivanka Malinov-Garnier (both still alive)  SIBLINGS: the youngest is 16, the second oldest is 25.  PETS: stray alley cat called Alley, but also Kitty Kitty 

— THE DEEP DIVE 

Born in Sedona, via a C-section and many false alarms. Was named Esther after her grandmama.

Is the living embodiment of the cardinal sin of Sloth. She is lazy, you guys. No care in the world. Head empty, no thots. 

Likes to make comic ‘zines for a living, earning peanuts in the process. So she makes due with odd jobs here and there. The money’s not the best, but she’s making due. 

Lives with her parents still. Technically, it’s an apartment they bought for her, but we don’t have to get into the whole thing. 

Suffers from depression and undiagnosed mental illnesses; she’s trying Her Best! 

— PARTS OF HER BIO THAT I ABSOLUTELY GO RABID FOR 

Right now, all she cares about is...living like an adult, from one day to the next. One foot after the other. But there is something about Essie's vibes that always attract people looking for solace. Maybe it's because she's a good listener, which isn't true. She's already forgotten your name and she will not remember your face. Maybe it's her air of aloofness; it's just that Essie can't seem to give a shit. She's been called someone's manic pixie dream girl, and people seem to either want her or fix her. Only problem is, Essie isn't even sure if she likes people at this point. Romantically, or sexually. Socializing is a chore and that's the only step she's willing to take. And friendships are hard to keep up, with this one. It's not like she's purposefully avoiding you; chances are, her phone is dead and buried beneath all the stale laundry she's forgotten to do last week. Or worse, it's underneath a pile of takeout containers. She's not sure if she will ever change, though.

— CONNECTIONS 

I will make a proper page for this on the blog later, but for now: 

Exes (m/f/nb); Essie only came out of the closet last year, and before that, she’s definitely dated a bunch of people, who have either grown tired of her, or parted ways with her on good terms. 

Friends; the smallest circle ever because Essie cannot keep up with people. This would have to be someone who reaches out first, pulls her into situations and just has to be the more proactive person between the two of them. 

TBA, but I’d love to plot!

Blackpink reaction to their pets warming up to their s/o

A/N: We‘re just going to pretend that Chaeyoung has her fish in the dorm :D

Jisoo

You were nervously waiting in front of the door with dog treats in one hand and flowers for your girlfriend in the other. After having dated for a while, you were visiting Jisoo in the dorm for the first time, which meant that you would also be meeting Dalgom for the first time. You knew that he was quite shy, but you also knew that Jisoo loved her little puppy more than anything else in her life, so you wanted him to like you.

“Hey.”

Jisoo greeted you with a cute smile when she opened the door, but you were distracted by Dalgom standing behind her, observing you critically. Jisoo followed your gaze and giggled.

“Stop being afraid. He doesn’t bite.”

She tried to calm your nerves, but you were still looking quite helplessly. You followed your girlfriend into the apartment where Dalgom let himself be petted by his owner. But as soon as you neared him, he backed away a little. For over an hour, you let this game continue. You were throwing treats in his direction to lure him closer to you, but as soon as you wanted to touch him, he ran away.

Frustrated you got back on your feet again and Jisoo patted your back encouragingly.

“Maybe next time, he will warm up to you. Do you want to spend some time with your actual girlfriend now?”

She joked and you remembered that you had totally ignored her this whole time, so you nodded your head, kissing her cheek apologetically.

You decided to watch a movie on the couch, so you cuddled up with some blankets, with your bodies somehow intertwined and started playing the movie. You were already immerged into the movie after only five minutes, when you could suddenly feel a weight on your lap. When you looked down, you could see that Dalgom had balled up in your lap and you looked at Jisoo with wide eyes.

With sparkling eyes, she patted Dalgom’s head before giving you a quick kiss, happy that her little family was together like this.

Jennie

„Ok are you ready?”

Jennie yelled from the bedroom while you were sitting in the living room, waiting to meet Kai and Kuma for the first time. You had already heard that Kuma thought that he was a big dog and in charge of protecting Jennie, so you were a little scared to meet him. Sometimes you thought that Jennie loved her dogs even more than you, so you wanted them to like you.

Equipped with some treats, you were crouching in the middle of the room, waiting for the beasts to judge you.

“I think I am.”

You answered insecurely before you heard Jennie laugh and little tipping noises on the floor, indicating that Kai and Kuma were on their way. As soon as Kai saw you, he made a hard stop, observing the unknown subject warily from a distance. Kuma, however, ran straight up to you while growling and you looked at Jennie with wide eyes who watched the scene with a smile on her face.

You offered Kuma the treats, but he simply sniffed your body before sneezing and turning to jump on the couch, not sparing you another glance.

“Oh my god he hates me.”

You sighted exaggeratedly, looking at Jennie, but she just laughed.

“Are you kidding me? He loves you! Normally, he would have chased away every stranger by now.”

She explained while walking over to you with Kai close behind her. You carefully offered your hand, so he could sniff it and he actually slightly wiggled his butt.

“Did you see that??”

You gasped excitedly and Jennie laid her arm around you to pull you closer.

“Hm. Seems like you have officially been accepted into the family.”

She smiled at you before kissing your lips softly.

Chaeyoung

“Ok this was the kitchen. And now to the best part of the dorm: my room.”

Chaeyoung grinned cheekily as she was giving you a tour of the dorm for the first time.

“Oh my god, you’re going to meet my fish for the first time!”

She exclaimed excitedly once she opened the door, immediately skipping to the fish tank where she started to introduce you to her fish. You chuckled at her excitement, but Chaeyoung didn’t even realize because she was bursting of pride.

“Do you want to see their tricks?”

She asked with sparkling eyes and how could you say no to that? She showed you how they were following her around in the tank, how they let themselves be petted by her and also how they could jump out of the water. You were actually quite impressed by her show and clapped loudly once Chaeyoung was finished.

She grinned like a little schoolkid that had gotten an A+ before a gasp escaped her mouth.

“Now you have to try it!”

She proposed excitedly, while already grabbing your arm to roll back your sleeve.

“I don’t think they want a stranger to touch them.”

You opposed but Chaeyoung shrugged it off, saying that you couldn’t know without trying.

So you slowly put your hand into the tank and watched how the fish were fleeing from it at first. But then they actually came back and started to bump their heads against your hand. Chaeyoung and you looked at each other in shock, before Chaeyoung jumped up and down.

“They accepted you!”

She laughed and you let yourself be wrapped into a hug. This had to mean that Chaeyoung and you were meant to be, you thought to yourself.

Lalisa

After dating Lalisa for quite a while now, you knew that her cats weren’t particularly nice to strangers. Mutual friends had already told you how they scratched them as soon as they entered the apartment and in your mind a scenario of four cats chasing you out of the apartment started playing.

Therefore, you weren’t really excited as you were standing in front of the dorm, waiting for Lisa to open the door and to introduce you to her babies. But at one point, you had to meet them, because you knew how important they were to Lisa.

Lisa opened the door with a wide smile and immediately pulled you inside of the apartment. All cats simultaneously turned their heads and glared at you. Nervously you glanced at Lisa who just laughed at your expression.

“Come on. They don’t bite. Mostly...”

She added to her statement and it didn’t help one bit with your nervousness. Lisa guided you to the sofa where Leo was the first one to greet you.

Slowly you put your hand on his head and he actually pressed it against your hand, wanting you to stroke his fur.

One after one, the other cats came jumping on the sofa, too, demanding attention and you were just trying to pet as many of them at once as possible.

“Oh my god, this is so cute.”

Lisa cooed while snapping a million pictures.

Your back actually started hurting after a while, because you didn’t sit comfortably, but Lily had fallen asleep on your lap, so you didn’t dare to move a muscle. With a soft smile, Lisa sat next to you while scooping up Louis into her arms, laying her head on your shoulder and savoring this moment of all of you together.

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

Aries

Things may be a bit confusing this week. It might be even more confusing than that night in college, with your bio teacher and that tank of nitrous oxide... Time to send the pay-off checks before you become a trending topic on Facebook again. 

Taurus

A sneeze will nearly cripple you on Monday. Then you'll throw out your back eating a taco on Tuesday. Wednesday will be your old Wrestling injury flaring up from the weather. Thursday… well, just don’t fix the trash compactor or the garbage disposal. And Friday… I’m in love. See? These Horrible Scopes are The Cure for everything! 

Gemini 

Something will slip out of your hand and break your foot tomorrow! Most likely it’ll either be a dumbbell while exercising or an aquarium tank. Either way you’re doing it wrong. Dumbbells should only be used as the counter-balances for your home-built trebuchet and that aquarium tank for growing your own fish for your Friday Fish Fry. Or just raise beavers.

Cancer 

You need a pet. Go ask someone to pet you. It’s OK, we won’t judge you. Hell, we could ALL use some contact time - like how a collection of cats will all just lie on each other and take a nap together. Remember, the kitten on top of the pile has all the power, because you can never disturb it once it’s on you. We humans know this rule, so do they. It’s the one universal constant on the planet.

Leo

You will be eaten by coyotes. And by “You” we mean “sheep”... so that “You” at the start of this listing should be “ewe” and not “you”. You’re following us right? I mean, EWE are following us. Look, this whole thing is just an excuse to sneak in a “Lion and a Lamb” joke. If you missed it, well, you’re obviously not the Self-Absorbed Leo we thought you were. 

Virgo

An unusual kangaroo will play a pivotal role this weekend. She’s never been to Australia, but she comes from Sydney. That’s her dad’s name. She thinks she’s a watchdog for some reason - might be that she keeps a pocket watch in her pouch. So, if you see Sydney’s Daughter, the kangaroo with a pocket watch, go up and say “HI!”

Libra 

We know you’re sick and tired of all these job placement ideas because you keep failing at the jobs, but we’ve SERIOUSLY got the right one for you - even YOU can’t screw it up. Ready? Radio Show Ventriloquist! Come on the show and show your voice into a little mannequin dummy. No one will be able to see your lips move while you’re still practicing, so it’s a win-win! And if you think this ISN’T a real one, just ask Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. 

Scorpio 

You thought everyone forgot about it, but they didn't. You tried to forget, but it’s been haunting your dreams for years. And finally, we have the answer for you. Are you listening? Good. The Arby’s condiment called “Horsey Sauce” does NOT taste like what you’ve always thought it did, even if the colouring was close. Now don’t you feel better about your friends who love the stuff?

Sagittarius 

Seriously? You're wearing that? Look, we’re all for putting on whatever helps you to stay comfortable, but GEEZE! 6 inch stiletto heels with locking ankle straps in WHITE?! BEFORE Easter?! What were you thinking?! At least you’re finally getting to use that punk-blue hair colouring… it’s only been expired since, what? 2017? 

Capricorn 

You’ve folded so many times, you look like an origami model of a black hole. Which is funny because most people just take a sheet of newspaper, crumple it up into a ball, light it on fire, take the ashes, put that inside ANOTHER crumpled up sheet of paper and burn THAT over and over again. Our design might be more accurate, but you’ve got the artistic aesthetics.

Aquarius 

Listen carefully! We have some words of wisdom for you to remember…. It’s all fun and games until someone suggests playing UNO with the online jump-in & stacking rules - then it’s a table-flip challenge. It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye - then it’s a scavenger hunt. It’s all fun and games until someone calls the police - then it’s a game of Keep Away. It’s all fun and games until someone calls a lawyer - then it’s a deposition. If you put all the sentences' first letters together, you’ll find the ACTUAL secret meaning. Or weren’t you paying attention?

Pisces 

This whole self-isolation thing is a huge help for you. You do nothing but piss-off everyone you come in contact with because you are a self-aggrandizing, opinionated, snobbish prick with a superiority complex. Don’t believe me? Just look around at your other Pisces friends and try to guess which one of them heard that and thought, “Yeah.. but I’m the BEST at what I do, right?” Chances are, they can picture YOU feeling that for yourself.

Easier- Part 1 (Bucky Barnes x Reader)

A/N: I haven’t written anything in so long, so this is probably hella rough and choppy. BUT, I had this idea for awhile, and hopefully it works? I crossed over themes from Lucifer into the Marvel universe, and well, Bucky’s the devil (; Heh. If anyone likes this, I’ll continue it. If not, it’s just gonna die out into nothing. All the while, it was super fun to write and I feel like I’m getting somewhere again. The song “Easier” by 5SOS is a huge contributor to the development of this, so bare with me here. I hope you guys like this. If you would like to be tagged in future parts (if it’s a thing) let me know by either commenting here, slide into my asks, or inbox me. ~

Word Count: 1148

Warnings: If you don’t like the devil, oops.

“Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way”

Los Angeles: the city of Angels, so they say. You were about to find out how true that was, whether you wanted to or not.

You worked at the LA Times as a reporter. Usually, your boss, Leo, managed high-profile stories, such as the one that was assigned to you today, but had decided that it was time for you to get into the larger stories. After all, he was close to retirement, and you would be taking over as the head reporter once he left should you be able to prove yourself.

“Remember the mission,” you muttered under your breath repeatedly as you straightened your blouse and blazer nervously. The elevator in front of you dinged open, and you cautiously inhaled and stepped inside of the small space. The last thing you had expected to be doing was interviewing the one and only Bucky Barnes regarding his new nightclub that had skyrocketed in popularity during the past few months, catapulting him into the public eye as a self-made billionaire and inspiration to all. That didn’t take away from the fact that he was insanely attractive, and ten times more intimidating. Too soon, you reached your destination: his penthouse.

The location was conveniently at the top of the building in which his nightclub was located, so you snapped some photos of the luxurious club before the time of your interview. Stepping off the elevator into the penthouse, you were greeted by an all-black cat. Its beautiful, shiny coat glistened in the sun that peered into the room, and soon you found the cat coming towards you to investigate. “Well, aren’t you just beautiful” you marveled to yourself softly, not noticing that you were no longer by yourself in the entryway. “He usually doesn’t like others, but it appears you are a rare exception.” You shrieked loudly and backed into the wall clumsily as you placed a hand on your chest. “Jesus Christ,” you cursed as you waited for your heart rate to slow down.

“Definitely not Jesus Christ. Pardon me, I did not intend to startle you, ma’am” Bucky Barnes said with a smirk as he approached. “Of course, you know who I am, but I do not know you. Leo usually interviews me.” You felt the tension and nerves slip away as you locked eyes with the mysterious man in front of you. He was even more breathtaking in person: crystal blue eyes, brown tousled hair, and the faint hint of stubble on his strong and chiseled jaw. You found yourself thinking of what it would be like to touch it, to run your fingers across his jaw and into his hair. You noticed the metal arm other news outlets and reporters mentioned. Sun reflected off the metal brightly, in a somewhat beautiful yet twisted way. You wondered if it was cold to the touch, and what it would be like to tangle your fingers between his.

“Ahem,” he coughed, bringing you abruptly out of your fantasy. You blushed a deep red, and your eyes immediately darted down to the floor. He made his way to the large mini-bar to your right, mixing himself an Old-Fashioned. “Sorry about that, uh, my name’s (Y/N) (Y/L/N). Reporter under Leo, LA Times.” He smiled warmly as if your timid demeanor was endearing to him. “Would you care for a beverage, doll?” he questioned, gesturing to the large array of liquors and mixes that accompanied them. You managed to shake your head no, still somewhat intoxicated off his presence. He finished making his drink by adding a maraschino cherry and a cocktail straw.

“We can do the interview in the living room, it’s just this way.” Bucky extended an arm, offering to lead you to the room. Was he always like this with his guests? You decided to believe he was, especially since the tabloids all marveled at his ability to charm any woman with a simple smile and flip of his hair. “I can just follow you, no need for the excess manners” you said bleakly. The charms had now worn off you and left you feeling foolish as well as annoyed. You would not be another one of his many one-night stand that were talked about in Playboy. He was the ladies’ man of Los Angeles, for goodness sake.

After you had a messy break-up with a man named Clint not too long ago, you had sworn off dating, flirting, anything that meant romance. You had been cheated on for a year, and of course it was his co-worker Natasha that had stolen his heart, among other things. A five-year relationship down the drain because he couldn’t keep it in his pants. There was no way in Hell that you would even consider flirting with this man. This was work, and you were here for the dirt on how he got the money so quick.

You sat opposite of Bucky on a leather chair, and a coffee table separated the two of you. You pulled the recorder and your notebook from your purse and started taping. “I am here with Bucky Barnes, one of Los Angeles’ new powerhouses in the club industry. Many say that your wealth and fame have come from dirty hands. Would you say that is true?” you asked pointedly, your reporter voice thick with accusation and curiosity.

Bucky simply laughed. He laughed as though this was the funniest joke he had heard in his lifetime. “Mr. Barnes, would you care to share what has you acting this way?” You were livid now, why was he laughing? Did you ask a stupid question? No, it couldn’t have been the question. Many other reporters had asked him the same question, but never got an answer. “Doll, since you asked me so nicely, I’ll answer. I do favors for people, and well, they reciprocate by means that helps me live comfortably.” He took a sip of an Old-Fashioned that was on the coffee table, and you mulled over this answer. “So, you’re a saint of some sort?” you snorted. This answer was pathetic. What were you to do with this? What kind of favors? The mob? That’s what had been speculated more than anything. This question prompted an even larger chuckle, and he leaned back in his chair as the cat joined him on his lap.

“My father would keel over at that assumption. I’m far from a saint, doll.” You gritted your teeth as your irritation grew. Your patience was already lacking, but now he had made it a point to call you doll. “Mr. Barnes, can we refrain from pet names during a formal interview? I don’t have all afternoon, and you keep beating around the bush with my questions. What are you, then?”

Bucky didn’t even hesitate with the next answer to your question. His lips curled into a sinister smile, and you swore you saw a flash of red in his eyes for a moment.

“I’m the devil, darling.”
