Hey.. Hmm, I have a request, but I was very hesitant to ask for it because I think it will tire you out😅😅... So, can you imagine the Sakamaki’s reaction if an Iraqi woman visited them? Iraqi women have completely different beauty, behavior and customs 🫶🏻👍🎀
S Boys React to Iraqi Visitor
— — — — — — — — —
Shū:
Tumblr media
“Iraqi…? I don’t care for race, really. Or ethnicity for that matter. Just… don’t be too much of a bother.”
• Shū, along with the rest of the brothers, honestly wouldn’t care as much. Sure they may have moved to Japan on their fathers order, but the cultural norm wouldn’t phase them as much. Especially considering that they’re from Makai (Demon World.)
• Most unbothered.
Reiji:
Tumblr media
“Hm, whilst it is intriguing, you will be forced to accustom to our rules. All other notions you may have known have no value here. Be prepared.”
• The most rule based if anything. Reiji isn’t one to change for anyone, especially if it’s someone he just met.
• We’ve seen it in the anime where he threatens Yui with either adapting to their lifestyle or dying. So don’t be shocked when he does take this ‘practical’ (in his point of view at least) approach.
Ayato:
Tumblr media
“Eh? Iraqi?? Where’s that? Is that country or something…? Whatever! Just be good prey and do as I say alright?”
• Judging on his test scores and actual geographical knowledge, Ayato would be the most confused on what the term ‘Iraqi’ even stood for. Even going as far to assume it’s a country… (Unfortunate.)
• He treats all his prey the same, so someone being from another place in the world wouldn’t exactly change that.
Kanato:
Tumblr media
“I haven’t experimented with this breed of human yet, Teddy. Shall we make plans in our workshop room? Or should we let them wait it out? So many choices…!”
• I think he’s mostly drawn to the potential of making someone into a wax doll figure. I have this idea/minor hc that Kanato always sees the creative approach and ‘marketability’ of someone to become his next creation. Like an artist in a constant search of a muse.
• So for everyone sacrificial bride that comes through, he always analyzes how easily compliant they are and if they have the looks to be ‘used’ by him.
Laito:
Tumblr media
“Ooh!! We have an exotic visitor, don’t we? Ah, I wonder if their blood will taste any different… Shall we test that theory?”
• Perhaps most excited about teasing if anything. As in, he’d probably play into the weird fetishization aspect for POC and minorities.
• He may be willing to learn and understand more about the culture only to use it against the visitor, but he wouldn’t do out of his way to claim anyone. Kind of like a moth to a flame, he’ll lure those in.
Subaru:
Tumblr media
“Tch. I don’t care. You’re prey, aren’t you? Doesn’t change where you’re from, you’ve ended up here. But… if it’s any help, take it from me… try not to get too homesick? They’ll use it against you.”
• Holds the same standoffish opinion as he does towards all the sacrificial brides. This isn’t any different.
• He may feel a semblance of guilt by giving them a quick note before going back into his shell. That is, if he felt brave enough to even come up to the visitor. Most likely he’d leave them at the mercy of the other brothers.

May i request savanaclaw with a vegan s/o? (Not the toxic type that guilt trips people who actually eat meat plz) thank you :)
𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲'𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭
| Notes: Hi, anon!
I’m more of a carnivore myself but I hope I made this vegan reader justice. It was also interesting to search a bit about the boy’s animal species and see their diets to complement some info. It’s kinda ordered from “most likely to be vegan” to “meat 4ever” if you think about LOL Well, hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the request <3 |
Ruggie Bucchi, Jack Howl, Leona Kingscholar x g!n vegan reader / fluff / established relationship / headcanons / use of “you” pronouns 
Cherry’s Harvesting event 🍒 Masterlist
Herbivore Intensifies
Tumblr media
When you commented to Ruggie about you being vegan, he firstly felt sorry for the fact that you had a “very limited” universe of food to feed on. But on the bright side, there is more food left for him! — just kidding. Since Ruggie had to learn early on to survive on what he has, just eating meat or vegetables doesn't make much difference to him;
Talking with him about this was very casual and calm in that part. Ruggie makes a joke or another to relax but also takes the moment to get to know you better, after all this is just one of the thousands facets you have. From the story of what motivated you to go vegan to the perks and pitfalls, he's just happy to hear you;
You often exchange some recipes sometimes, especially when a specific dish makes you remember each other. Ruggie showed you some special foods from Grandma Bucchi that only use vegetables. It may not be the finest and most splendid cuisine in the world, but you enjoy seeing Ruggie teach you something so important and that you can eat together;
Ruggie definitely takes you to the sports field to pick dandelions. It's a bit of a different experience, but you don't chicken out too much. You sit in a corner, talk, and every once in a while, Ruggie spits into the distance. Epel taught him how to do like the countryside people when they went to Vargas’ Camp. But if you’re a little grossed out, he stops doing in front of you;
Jokes aside, you understand that this is Ruggie's way of dealing with the situation. These aren’t very serious comments, nothing that you have not already heard at one time or another. You come from different backgrounds and view the world in a unique way which isn’t exclusive of the other; 
In fact, you even give Ruggie more reasons to eat better — and that's a help you're willing to give. If he doesn’t have enough money, you offer some of your own food and you two share. What you don't know how to cook, Ruggie will make up for with his own skills. And sometimes good relationships start at meals;
Ruggie is perhaps the most likely to agree to indulge in your vegan lifestyle, more so because he is quite flexible about food. If it's edible, it doesn't matter what it is. Ruggie would pick one time or another to eat meat, a dish totally different from your own, but he wouldn't exactly be bothered in being vegan;
This is because, despite the fact that hyenas are carnivores, they’re capable of eating anything like the butchers they are. Animals, vegetables, bones or whatever is available, what matters is to be full at the end of the day. In fact, you might want to help Ruggie a little more with the worry of not starving in the future first than suggesting a new diet;
When you talk about food, you worry a little bit if you're being too incisive in your ideals or preferences but, Ruggie assures you that you're not pressuring him into anything — he says, carefreely, eating a pork and lettuce sandwich. Some vegans may be bothersome or pushy about it — every kind of group has someone like that — but it's not your case;
Every dating anniversary of yours, Ruggie makes a natural sandwich for you both to share. It has your favorite vegetables, all cut perfectly and seasoned in a tasty way. It serves to always remember the good times you spent together and will spend during the years to come;
“Call it what you want, gluttony or love, but I would happily eat anything you offered me,” Ruggie once said, winking and making you laugh. Ruggie is the type who would take onion rings or sliced carrot pieces that you cut for fun. You are always laughing and giggling when you are together.
Tumblr media
Regardless of whether it was usual or not, even if you were surprised, Jack didn’t see anything strange when you told him that you were vegan. He treated it like normal information, just a detail about yourself. Maybe that's because Jack came from Pyroxene and the prospect of meeting a vegan person isn't too out of the ordinary;
In fact, Jack sees a good opportunity to talk to you about healthy eating habits. Apart from the part that he obviously includes meat in his diet, you two went along with most things. The first time was such a pleasant conversation that your eyes flashed in his direction all the time, at some point making him flustered;
As strange as it is to be in a “limbo” of ideals — you both weren’t exactly extremists or anything — balance is the strongest part of your relationship, along with mutual respect. You two sometimes include Epel in the conversation for his farmer knowledge, but ultimately, you get so carried away talking to each other that Epel feels like a restaurant candle;
Not being kind just because he is your boyfriend but — so you could have a place to plant your own vegetables until you improve Ramshackle’s Garden — Jack got you a good space in the Botanical Garden for your little orchard. He isn’t one to facilitate anything for partial reasons, but given your situation as a student there, you deserve a space. Incidentally, his cactus garden is right next door…;
Workouts may not even be your thing as it is for Jack, but somehow, the nickname “fitness couple” has caught on among students to refer to the two of you — Ace and Ruggie’s fault. Jack thinks it's a little immature of them to do this, but part of him is embarrassed by the “couple” part. This is because, every time he thinks of you as a couple, he ends up thinking of marriage and his heart feels a mixture of joyful and flustered emotions, just like a fruit salad;
One thing that has no mistake for you on dates is natural juice. That fruit juice made by hand, unprocessed, sugared to each one’s taste. Jack's favorite, of course, is pear juice. You prepare it before you leave for a picnic on campus, toasting with your glasses and chuckling a little;
Even if Jack never becomes an official vegan — he has his own opinions and you respect that — he would find a way to balance the two diets when you live together. He is already used to doing things individually but he’ll know how to join you in preparing salads or any food you prefer. And, once in a while, he would accompany you on your vegan dishes without a problem;
You don't bother much with this because, among other things, it is a biological configuration natural to Jack’s species. Wolves are essentially carnivores, ranging from large to small prey. Therefore, it would be asking too much to make him live only on vegetables. You are already quite happy that Jack is interested enough in a healthier diet to strengthen his body;
Just like you don't insist on making him vegan, Jack doesn't insist on you exercising — if you're not the type that likes workouts that much. But when you run along with him a little or bring water during the club, he is very happy with your thoughtfulness and your company;
Jack loves when you make pear compote for him. It’s a simple sweet condiment,  kind of incompatible with his image, and at the same time, it suits him so much. To reward you, Jack prepares something with your favorite fruit. No matter what it is or how long he needs to learn to get it right, Jack wants to thank you for your feelings;
Tumblr media
“M-my tail is wagging...? It's just that the juice is really refreshing, that's all,” Jack said, looking away. Really, the juice you prepared was chilled and delicious to drink. It had nothing to do with the fact that you were close to each other, holding hands under a tree in the courtyard, facing the blue skies. Nothing!
Since you two met, Leona has been calling you “herbivore”. It was something derogatory, a pejorative nickname in beastfolk culture for people they consider weaker than them — usually used by actually carnivorous beastmen. But when you replied one day that you were really vegan, Leona was in shock;
First, he stared at you for a minute, shocked to finally meet someone who completely gave up meat. But then Leona started laughing, literally having to lean on something to stay on his feet. Your nickname “herbivore” was set official, huh? You would have been a little annoyed in other situations but Leona's laugh sounded so good — quite a rare event to witness — so you let things go on their own cycle;
Not that Leona really cared about your food choices and principles — at least, when he hadn't yet fallen in love with you. Herbivores are herbivores and therefore don’t require the thoughts of a carnivore. But when he fell in love, Leona was taken by different thoughts about you. One of them about you being a herbivore... or vegan, whatever;
Leona’s first biggest proof of love was when he paid for you a luxurious vegan dish from the cafeteria. The vegetables were so bright and green they looked freshly picked and it had the best seasoning from the Ghost Chef. You carried the plate on the tray like it was a bunch of gold and Leona asked you to hurry up. What people don't do for love, right?;
To make up for Leona's good deed, you bought him his favorite deluxe katsu sandwich. Leona was a little confused by your act but you assured him that it was also for a good cause. So, together, you both ate your favorite foods for lunch — no matter how essentially different they were;
One thing to keep in mind regarding Leona is: it's not because he won't tease you about meat, that you’ll be showered with praise for your choices. He is very honest in that part, almost blunt. But at least, Leona admits it. As long as you don't complain about him running away from veggies like a boar runs from a lioness, he will let you eat whatever you want freely;
But one of the perks of dating a vegan is that when Leona finds some mixed vegetables in his meal, he can pass it on to you quietly. It may not be every green thing because you must have your own favorite vegetables but, it makes you feel included in his routine and shows that he pays attention to you, even in “the Leona style”. You do the same thing with meat too;
Lions are essentially and exclusively carnivorous animals. They eat any kind of animal — usually large, but if necessary, small rodents as well. And Leona doesn't see himself asking for plants or anything similar at any time. Maybe only if he was desperate or crazy. So be aware that the chances of Leona occasionally trying to share your habits are pretty low;
But he takes advantage of some tips from you to seasoning and eat some necessary nutrients that he can tolerate at least. Leona can't explain how or why, but he's always liked potatoes. Every way, every spice, every kind. You really gaped at this but also encouraged you to try to prepare something for him with potatoes;
That same day, Leona helped you pay for horticultural purchases at the city market. Usually, even the simplest vegan products are a little more expensive than normal ones but Leona wants to give you all the best you deserve — don’t minding that the market account nearly gave you have a pressure drop;
“Don't worry, herbivore. You can continue to eat your bush in peace. I will protect you from others,” Leona joked, a smug grin on his face. You stared at him. You didn't know why you were so surprised, he always liked to call your salad like that. But something inside you made you laugh at him. Leona's smile widened as well, revealing those beautiful carnivore fangs of his.
| Special notes: I made Leona like potatoes bc I like potatoes (and I felt like adding this). Mashed, baked, fried… oh, God, such a good creation! And the fact that most of these add a lot of salt and may not be the most health-wise way to eat potatoes have a “Leona feel” to it. If he likes one single tuber vegetable, it will be potato. That’s my official headcanon. |

CG! JD x Little! Reader W/ Sensory Issues
A/n- I related to this request a little too much and it just ended up as 3k of self-indulgence hurt/comfort. Hope everyone else can enjoy, as well!
Word Count: 3,138
T/W: some cursing, sensory overload / panic attacks, emotional hurt / repressed emotions, JD is referenced to have a gun in one scene but it's like. when he had it in the cafeteria and pretended to shoot Kurt & Ram like . . . that type beat, y'know?
This fic is seriously unedited <3
JD is willing to do just about . . . anything for his partner. Except, maybe, y’know- change his fundamentals as a person? And he’s generally pretty open about things, people, you name it. As long as you aren’t hurting anyone, who is he to stop you from a pastime that comforts you? 
He’s never heard of age regression before- in some regards, you still believe he may have never learned what coping mechanisms were either. And he certainly would never have pegged you as an individual that needed it. He knew of all the hurt you had gone through, of everything you tried to recover from. He guesses he never thought of how you planned to heal from it. Thinking maybe that he’d be enough to fix your broken bones.
He doesn’t ask you about it. Well, not for a while. JD prides himself in being so studious, in his curious, watchful nature. He always picked up the little bits and ends of people. And yet- he misses this. 
You’d been sneaking around him so easily, hiding the tenderest of your heart. He hates to think you hadn’t felt safe enough to let him know . . . but he thinks of the Heathers and Jocks of the world, and reconsiders. You must have been so scared. He can picture you alone and shaking in your room, after a long, painful week of school. He only wishes he’d moved sooner. He’d have come bounding into your life quicker, to be there for you, to protect you from brainless cruelty. 
Some bullshit, it was meant to be mantra loops his brain. He still wishes he had been there, every night. 
A few days after you tell him, he finally peaks his own curiosity and asks a question. Or, you don’t tell him either. Which also bugs him. But he finds out, because he doesn’t call to tell you he’s coming over or wait at the front door or even arrive at a normal time. He knocks on your bedroom window and stands outside waiting for you to let him in. You’d expressed distaste to him breaking in in the past. You don’t reply and he gets worried. And when he gets fed up and swiftly props the window up so he can climb in, he’s met with a pretty scary sight.
You’re lying on the floor, your side pressed against your flooring. You have one hand against your ear, you bite and suck on your other thumb. You hold a crumpled mess of blankets towards your chest, like they’re a fun, plush animal friend.
You don’t seem nearly as scared as he thought you might’ve been seeing him whilst in such a state. You’re just upset and overwhelmed, and you tell him as such when he’s knelt down beside you. You struggle with getting the right words, but he knows you’re struggling and he stays with you the whole night till you calm down. 
And, okay, you do answer his question(s). He has . . . a lot. He’s confused. He doesn’t understand what’s wrong, really. He knows you’re hurting, but doesn’t quite know that it’s not all fresh wounds you’re suffering from.
He first asks, “Why?”
Not in that manner. 
He waits till it’s the two of you, when you don’t seem too stressed, but still have that glossy, sad look he witnessed those few days before. The two of you are cuddling on your bed, you’re safely nestled between his legs and you contently play with the loose threads on his sleeves, as he holds you with one arm and caresses his hand through your hair. 
“Hey, why did you hide that part of yourself?”
You tilt your head to look at him. “Huh?”
JD’s light smile twitches. He can’t show his hurt so blatantly. “Oh, c’mon, Sid. You know what I’m talking about.”
They look back down to their activity, their hands moving through the fabric quicker. “I didn’t know how you’d react,” you mumble.
Jason does frown at this, and you can feel that as he presses a kiss to your head and nestles his cheek there.
“I love you, darlin’. It’s the two of us, against the world, remember?” 
“Yeah, but-”
JD cuts you off. He wouldn’t allow your self-doubting anxieties to get in the way. 
.
You don’t ask him to help out. But he knows you need it. 
Every time he notices your demeanor go towards that place; he knows something’s up. He figures this out half by observation, and the other was you coming from your shell, and telling him how you felt. 
He comes to know the first time he found you huddled on your bedroom floor, was due to a sensory overload meltdown. Nothing felt right that day, and you had hoped- so bad - that the icky feeling would dissipate with the night. You craved pressure and the lights in the hallway were too bright and you could still hear your mother brushing her teeth in the other room. You couldn’t turn the lights off and you couldn’t tell your mother- she’d freak out at you for being so sensitive. You could, though, press your body tightly against your floor and hold onto something, a barrier between angry, red skin and yourself. You could feel grounded on your bedroom floor. You could, maybe, even, sleep. 
.
He doesn't know how to feel that you need him. He’s thrilled. He wants nothing more than to be everything you desire. He worships you. He loves you. But you need help when you’re feeling so small? You need a hand, you need someone to give you the care you never received? He feels so lost. He never had the care you needed growing up. He doesn’t want to screw you up with backwards thinking. 
So, it takes time. He doesn’t feel completely comfortable with you regressing at first. But he always comes later on in the night to calm you down and help you sleep. 
One night, you’re curled up in his arms, and you scrunch his shirt up in your fists as you call out for him. “Papa, ‘eed you.” 
He looks down at you, and he combs his hand through your hair and you shake it off. The touch felt too light. “What’s wrong, darling?”
He peers at you and his stare, dark eyes boring into you, is unshakeable. 
“Need you,” you repeat. It’s clearer this time. 
He asks again. He suggests closing the window or getting a blanket and you don’t know how to respond. It’s so hard to form how you’re feeling into words. Everything is a little too much and it hurts. You’re so worried your boyfriend will judge you for what does come out. No matter how much he tells you he cares and tries to shush away your insecurities, they’re still there. 
“Jus’ hurs righ’ now. B-bad feeling.” 
He moves to leave your side and you only pull at him again. 
“Need. .hard no’ ligh’.”
He forces his face to stay neutral, as he works through the confusion. “Do you need pressure, is that it?”
You nod. 
“Okay, get up. With me.” 
You whine and he gives you a look and you go along with it. He peels your blankets back, and has you get under them. He sheds his jacket and pants, and makes sure you’re comfortable in your clothes, too. He lays back down next to you, bringing the sheets back up and over your bodies, tucking it in tight around the edges. He presses his body to yours when you still whine for pressure, safety. He hangs his arm over you and rests his body weight against you. He’s worried that he might hurt you. But the content purr as he finally does so, washes his worries away. 
You thank him again and again. Your papa was so perfect to you. 
.
A few months into all this, JD brings up helping ease you into your regression headspace. To help relieve your stress before it gets too much. He also brings up your sensory issues, as he noticed the two were often connected. He also tells you that the two of you don’t need to talk about all of it right now, but he needs to know how to be there for you. How to treat you. How to love you.
And you tell him you don’t know how to explain any of it. Certain sensations or inputs just . . . overwhelm you. Like the ticking of clocks or people brushing their teeth made you upset and angry. And you know to everyone else it feels irrational, but it’s such a big deal for you . 
Jason asks if the pressure has to do with your sensory issues, and you nod. You tell him how light touches can feel violating and more intense, how it feels like he’s not quite there. How you need his reassurance. And he says he understands and he gets it, or he at least tries to get it- and you smile, a full smile, of unbridled joy, at his response. 
“I love you, Papa!” You yell, excited. You squeeze him in a big hug, and he returns it.
He smiles, “Of course, babe.” 
.
There are some problems he notices this pose. 
He’d never blame you for feeling small or overwhelmed- or for how you reacted or dealt with that feeling. You were trying so hard and he was so very, very proud of you! 
But helping you at home, in your room, late at night- was no hassle. It was safe and secluded and no one but you and Him were there, could hear or know what was going on.
In school, it was different. You only had a few classes together. When the lights were too bright or the chatter in the classrooms too loud, it was much harder to get away from it, to self soothe. You couldn’t just walk out. 
You try to nap at your desk. Your hands discreetly covering your ears. One of your classmates bumps into your desk on the way back to her seat, not even a glance back or an apology. You bite your lip and hunch your shoulders up, weeping at your desk. Or, no, trying not to cry but failing horribly, miserably. 
JD is at the back of the classroom, he always is. It’s the best place to avoid unwanted eyes. He also loves it for the exact opposite reason, no one pays attention to the kids in the back. He can study his classmates without questions. He knows so many secrets he shouldn’t, because people never think he’s listening in. 
Sometimes he watches you, too. He loves seeing you frustrated, nibbling at the end of your pencil as you struggle with your assignment (he always “helps” you later with it- he isn’t much of a studier, though). He thinks you’re cute, especially when you don’t notice you’re being looked at. 
But he notices the negative interactions with your classmates, too. He’s never been one to keep a lid on his frustrations. 
He interjects, he calls her out for her shit.
“Did you want to apologize to someone?” He quirks a brow at the classmate. She looks bewildered and mumbles something under her breath.
Before she gets back to her seat, Jason gets up and takes great strides, rushing to your side. He pays no attention to the girl, as she steadies herself on some poor fool’s desk.
“Hey, watch where you’re going! You almost knocked me over, freak.” 
He thinks briefly on what any other student would do. Ignore it. Give some stupid retort back. 
He flashes her a grin, “That should be the least of your worries.” He opens up his jacket enough for her to see the handgun tucked away in the inside pocket.
Needless to say . . . she freaks out. And the teacher tells them, finally, to quiet down. It escalates, he gets sent home for the day. He’s not even worried or peeved about his end of the situation. He only has blanks in there, anyways. With the diversion he created, you could easily slink away from the classroom to a quieter space. Without all the suspicion gathered around it.
You don’t see JD again till after school passes. You know he’s at home. At his dad’s house. Knows that he probably got chewed out about his careless behavior. So obvious, so frivolous. No pizazz to his act. Nothing.
You know he’ll be upset. But he’ll act like nothing’s wrong. And it frustrates you. He always does so much for you. You could be an emotional anchor, too. Gosh darn, you could!
You hope it’s just him that’s making it difficult. 
That’s not right.
You hope that it’s not because of you, that Jason shuts himself off. You know that part of it’s that. That he didn’t grow up around parents who could be emotionally vulnerable with him. That he never had any close friends growing up. That, yeah, he had major trust issues.
Part of you worries that it’s more . That he feels cut off from you, that your issues overshadow his own. That he spends so much energy on you, that he has nothing left at the end of the day to give to you. He can’t splay his heart out on the table, because you are exhausting. 
And you have to shake off the feeling that you’re too much and you’re overthinking it. JD would let you know if he was upset with you, right? 
Thankfully, his dad isn’t home when you knock on the door. Usually you’d call him beforehand, to let him know you were coming over. You’d come to learn that despite his surprise visits at your place, JD was never thrilled about who could be at his door. Irrational fears? Maybe. His own guarded trauma? That you were certain of.  
He peeks through the peephole, unlocking the door and removing the latch at the top. He leans against the semi-open door. 
Jason gives a weary smile, “What’s up?” 
“I wanted to see you, JD.” 
He shrugs. Instantly amused by you. “Alright. You’ve seen me, now what? What’s the big surprise , Y/n?” 
You roll your eyes at his reaction, at his jazz hands. “Nothing. I just wanted to see you. I can be excited for that, right?” 
JD barks a laugh. “Of course.” 
He leads you in, locking and latching the door behind him once more. 
“The old man’s out for the night.”
“Perfect.”
“I knew you’d be sad about that,” he smiles and pulls you in for a rough kiss on the crown of your head. 
He picks up where he left off. He’d been reading some kind of magazine. It was boring. But he liked the distraction. He liked something that was a bit mind-numbingly dumb sometimes. He flops down on the couch, picking the tabloid off the coffee table. You hesitantly join him. You lean your head on his shoulder. 
The two of you stay like that for a while. You get up once to turn the fan off (it wasn’t very hot at all, you think it was just left on for background noise), but the noise rattles in your head and it’s all you can think about. Neither JD or you say anything, you just return to his side once more, till he’s finishing up the last page. He throws it with an exasperated huff onto the table. 
You snuggle closer to him, cradling your face next to his. You breathe in his scent, old leather and blood. You want to wrap it up and take it around with you everywhere. Maybe make a candle, so your room would always have a little bit of your boyfriend in it. 
“What’s wrong?” You ask, in a quiet, mousy voice. 
JD doesn’t really respond. He doesn’t even shake his head or avert his eyes. He does, however, snake his arm around you and pulls you in tight. You whine- not at the embrace, which you loved- but his response. 
“Please?” 
He glances away and squeezes you tighter. You take that as your queue- don’t press it. 
“Thank you for what you did today, though. You’re always such a protector. You’re, like– my prince!” You try not to sound too giddy at the thought, you knew JD wouldn’t be up for much play time. Or maybe . . . any play time. That would be okay though, you rationalize with yourself. 
Jason Dean finally looks at you. His eyes water, only slightly. His brows furrow and he seems almost confused, but you know he isn’t. JD was the smartest person you knew. His lips quirk into a small smile. 
He chuckles, hiding his mouth when his laugh reaches a higher pitch. “Yeah, I am. Aren’t I? What does that make you, little one?” 
Oh god, okay. Maybe you can’t stay big for long right now.
You hum. “Maybe a princess? Or another prince?”
He boops your nose with your own, and you nearly forget why you’re there as your mind gets hazy. 
“JD, are you hur’?” 
He shakes his head.
“Are you sure? Papa, would you tell me if you were?” 
He looks at you quizzical. 
“Of course, dear.” He motions for you to get up. You do so, mostly unwilling. You follow him to his bedroom. “Y’know, I wanted to wait to give this to you. Sometime special but.” 
He sorts through his top dresser drawer, and pulls out a soft plushie of your favorite animal. You squeal as he hands it to you. 
“I was going to give it to you earlier today, at school. But those high school  Neanderthals  got in the way.”
You smile at the gesture and hold your new plushie in a tight grip against your chest. You loved the feeling of your fingers sunk into the fuzz and stuffing. It was squishy and had a bit of weight to it. 
“Thank you,” you mumble into your new toy. 
JD was all too good at distracting you. He knows you’re worried about him, but he doesn’t know how to tell you that this? Being the one real thing that can get you to smile? Makes up for all his bad feelings. He never feels alone with you. Never feels judged.
You always treat him with softness. You’re always looking out for him. And if you could just look up and see his face in this moment, how his smile reaches his eyes- that all he needs is you. As you are. He could face a lifetime more of hardships, as long as you could stay by his side. 
Maybe he still is enough to love you. Not to fix you but love you as you are and sit with you on your bad days and maybe enough to let you in his heart, too.

I just wanna say I love your blog but I just wanna know would you ever be interested in writing yandere meruem
I’m not finished with the Arc yet, but I feel now confident enough to write about them. Hope I did you justice with that. For the royal guards I went with the scenario where they somehow managed to survive because I don’t think they would get obsessed with someone else as long as the king is still alive. Their devotion for him would keep them from falling for anyone else. That’s at least what I believe.
Tw: Yandere themes, unhealthy mindset, unhealthy relationship, possessiveness, obsessiveness, delusions, paranoia, sadism, controlling Yandere, strict Yandere, mentions of kidnapping, death, stalking
Chimera Ant Arc Hc’s
Kite
Tumblr media
🤡Kite is shown as a very cold and blunt person, but I can actually see him as someone who’s really shy around his darling since he never felt such emotions before. He knows that he isn’t supposed to feel this way, making him the aware type. He also is absolutely whipped for his darling, making him a lovestruck one as well.
🤡I can also imagine him as an overprotective one. He didn’t grow up under the most ideal circumstances and normally is ready to let someone die, but that doesn’t count for his darling. Nothing should ever harm them!
🤡He’s very calm when it comes to his darling interacting with other people and let’s them most of the time talk to whoever they want to. But if someone gets to friendly with the s/o or makes them uncomfortable he’ll step in and tell the person bluntly to go away. He looks very intimidating whilst saying that so most people do what he says.
🤡He tries to be reasonable with the people, knowing that it would get him in trouble if he just kills everyone. He only kills someone when they harmed the s/o, mentally or physically. That’s one of the few times were he gets really enraged and also really disappointed with himself for not being able to protect them.
🤡I believe he would only kidnap them if they rejected him or they got hurt whilst he wasn’t with them. Then he would become incredibly paranoid and kidnap them. He feels bad for doing this, but he can’t do anything against it. But with enough time and convincing from your side he might be willing to let you out again.
🤡From this list a more harmless one who just wants to keep you safe even though his ways of doing so are sometimes a bit extreme. But he’s a very understanding Yandere who tries to suppress his Yandere side for as long and much as possible. He doesn’t want to scare you.
Neferpitou
Tumblr media
🐈Neferpitou is a possessive one and obsessive one. They have some cat gene in them and so they are naturally fascinated with their darling, having a cat-like curiosity and wanting to know more about them. One of the most possessive out there especially after losing their king. No way they’ll let something like this happen again!!
🐈I can also imagine them as a bit of a cruel kind since they treat the s/o like a pet, punishing them when they don’t behave, cuddling and treating them when they please them and keeping them sometimes literally on a leash. They think they just protect the s/o from any wild humans, seeing it as taking a weak animal in and taking care of it what makes them the slightest bit delusional. But also an overprotective one. As mentioned Neferpitou lost their king what will increase their overprotectiveness a hundred times.
🐈It isn’t like they let their darling anywhere outside so no need to feel jealous. But if someone will somehow come anywhere near the darling for whatever reason this person will see a growling cat with a more than just sinister and enraged aura towering over them, ready to tear them to pieces. They also feel jealous when the s/o doesn’t pay attention to them, doesn’t matter what it was, Neferpitou will get rid of it.
🐈Pitou kills everyone who knows about the existence of their darling. No one should know that the s/o exists, this will reduce the danger of their darling being attacked by an enemy. Neferpitou has no mercy with anyone. Worst part about it is that they’ll come home covered in blood and want to cuddle their darling. They’ll tilt their head confused when the darling starts to cry when they see them, tainted in blood. Did they do something wrong?
🐈The moment they became interested in the darling was the moment they were doomed. Neferpitou most likely killed the whole village they lived in to ensure that no one knows about the s/o. After that they dragged them somewhere far away from any human to just keep them for themself.
🐈This really depends on your behavior. If you behave well then Neferpitou will be in a good mood and they’ll spoil you with affection and praises, after all a good pet deserves to be treated well. But when you don’t behave Pitou will get angry after a while and punish you because a bad pet needs to get punished in order to learn to behave. But Neferpitou can be really charming if they want too, cats have a very special charm on them and this counts for them as well. They just want to be a good owner with you as their cute little pet.
Shaiapouf
Tumblr media
🎻I think that Shaiapouf will change his Yandere type over time, but let’s start with what type he is during the first period of time. Obsessive, delusional and strict. He didn’t expect to fall for a human and felt disgusted at himself at first. How dare he fall for a human?!?! Disgraceful!! He most likely saw a flash of perfection and beauty in them and he kept this image in his head, wanting to know more about them and what made them so special. He expected them to behave and would lash out at them when they went against the perfect picture he had about them in his mind, punishing them for their behavior. Also a manipulative one, guilt tripping his darling and wrapping them up with lies to ensure they behave and don’t run away.
🎻But the more time he spent with them, the more he changed. He was still obsessive, manipulative and delusional, but now he thought of everything his darling did as perfection, no need to punish them anymore. He gained also the traits lovestruck, worshipper and clingy. This guy’s absolutely enamored with the s/o, seeing them as his new queen/king he has to serve. He’ll stick to their side, no matter what and is also very touchy. Holding hands, cuddling, kissing, he does it all.
🎻Just like Pitou he keeps his darling somewhere far away from any humans since he doesn’t trust them. Every human, except his wonderful darling of course, is some savage animal in his eyes, completely uncultivated. I think he doesn’t really get jealous that much, but if his darling tells him they know someone who can do something better than him then he gets ‘jealous’. Of course he’s also more than disappointed with himself, feeling like he failed, but he’ll also make sure to do better the next time to show his worth.
🎻He is willing to kill anyone who even dares to look at the s/o. Lowlife like this doesn’t deserve to have the honor to look at them! Shaiapouf thinks of it as protecting his queen/king from any danger, his paranoia is pretty horrible.
🎻He won’t see it as kidnapping. He sees it more as saving the s/o from wasting any time with those savage things out there. He’s completely paranoid, he already lost his king to humans and will make sure to not lose the darling to humans as well. At first he won’t let them out at all, but after he changed his Yandere type he’s more willing to let them out. But only if he’s with them and only if they don’t go anywhere near humans.
🎻His delusions are the problem. At the beginning because he held this perfect picture of you and manipulated you into your perfect self and after his change because he saw himself as a servant who’s only duty it is to protect and spoil you. Arguing won’t be from any use, you’ll just exhaust yourself like this. But the worshipper Shaiapouf is definitely better than the strict Shaiapouf because now he doesn’t hurt you anymore and has infinite patience with you.
Methuthuyoupi
Tumblr media
💥Youpi is more of a stalker, choosing to just watch the s/o from the distance. He uses this chance to also find out as much as possible about his darling what makes him an obsessive one as well. Every move they do makes him fall deeper into his obsession with them.
💥Also the overprotective one. He failed his king and he won’t fail his darling too. Surprisingly can him imagine as a lovestruck one as well. Everything his s/o does is just so adorable to him!
💥He doesn’t get jealous, he’s just overprotective over the darling. Since he stalks them all the time he knows who they’re talking and interacting with during the day. He just watches for the most part and won’t feel jealous, letting them do what they want. But that changes the moment he witnesses someone hurting his darling...
💥Yeah, if he ever witnesses someone hurting his darling, doesn’t matter if it’s mentally or physically, he’ll become a mad man and will destroy that person. Just imagine the last thing you see in your life is his crazed expression... That’s truly terrifying!
💥As long as he’s able to protect the s/o from the distance I think he’ll be fine with letting them walk freely around. Something really extreme would have to happen for him to kidnap you, the only example being the s/o nearly getting killed with him not being able to protect them. Then he’ll resort to kidnapping in order to protect them.
💥From all of the royal guards he’s the most tame one. He has no human DNA in him so he doesn’t really realize that his feelings aren’t normal, but that’s all. He just wants to protect you from every danger and is the most willing to let you walk around freely, but of course he’ll watch you from the distance, protecting you from any harm.
Meruem
Tumblr media
👑Similar to Shaiapouf his type will change over time. At first he’s a strict, cold, cruel, obsessive and possessive one. He’s the king and expects the s/o to treat him like one. In his mind they should be thankful that he can’t kill them and that they should feel honored that he even pays them so much attention and he will punish them if they don’t act accordingly. The fact that he feels something for them was a surprise for him and so he wanted to know anything about them that was there to know, feeling like he would owe them if he would figure everything about them out. He won’t let anyone else have his darling, he’s the king and if he wants something then it’s only his!
👑But with time he became the possessive, obsessive, clingy, overprotective and soft type. He couldn’t think straight anymore when he wasn’t with his darling anymore and so he just kept them by his side all the time and became a much more nicer person to them, treating them more gentle and caring. He sees his darling as someone fragile and that’s the reason why he’s so protective over them. Nothing will ever harm them. Especially when Pouf is anywhere near he’ll be on high alert and keep a sharp eye on him.
👑He killed every human in the palace and since he keeps you always with him there’s no need to get jealous. No one would even dare to talk or look at you. But if you ,however, show some interest in one of his guards because they are the only ones you see besides him he’ll get jealous really fast and if you don’t want him to kill them it’s the best to quickly start paying attention to him.
👑I don’t need to answer this, it’s obvious. He kills anyone who dares to even mention his darling’s name. If the s/o tells him about a person who gave them troubles in the past or if he finds it out on his own then he’ll make sure to sent his royal guards out to find this person, planning on giving them an agonizing death so if you don’t want him to kill someone you cried over years ago don’t tell him anything. He’ll find out anyways.
👑At first he tried to kill the darling and failed, then he tried to avoid them and failed. That’s when he came to the conclusion that keeping them is the best thing to do. At first he didn’t let them out of their room, but after he softened up he let them walk through the palace, but only if he was with them since Shaiapouf was a problem. The only reason he didn’t kill that guy was because the s/o begged him to not do it.
👑At first he was a truly terrifying Yandere, scaring the living shit out of you and hurting you whenever you started to annoy him, but after he changed this took a 180 degree flip and suddenly he became so much better and understanding with you and also stopped hurting you.

Full metal jacket preference~ The boys with an s/o who has an ex that stalks them
(A combination of my gifs and other peoples)(Requested by anonymous)
(Hope you enjoy the blogs first preference post! <3)
Tumblr media
Joker~
When you first tell James about the situation with your ex, he sort of thinks you’re joking. It certainly wouldn’t be out of place in your relationship. He figures its an “oh, yeah, my ex is stalking me” as in he’s still got a thing for you and is trying to strategically find himself at the right place in the right time in hopes that you’ll talk to him. 
Once he can see that you’re completely serious, his smile somewhat drops as well. For a while, he’ll remain humorous (i.e. trying to cheer you up and make you smile while you deal with the mess) but understanding; not wanting to freak you out even more by making it a whole big thing. He tells you to give him a call whenever you want him to stay over and that he’ll handle things as soon as he can. The next time he has the chance, he’ll have a little conversation with your ex.
James certainly has no problem standing up to or for people, and on top of that, he’s completely willing to use violence or his smart mouth to scare them off so expect an altercation of some sort when he finally spots the dickhead who’s been making your life difficult.
You’ll either wait for him to be finished or gratefully pull him away yourself before he has the chance to really mess the guy up. Once he’s calmed himself down, he’ll make a joke about being your knight in shining armor with a smile, chuckling as you roll your eyes and pull him in for a kiss.
Just Beware, from that day forward, he’ll get almost smug any time he see’s your ex in public. 
Tumblr media
Cowboy~
Robert is; more or less, a bit more logical/mature with his attempts at diffusing the situation although it does depend on the extent of which this guy is bothering you and the responses you get. He’s more patient, giving the police a chance to do something before he takes matters into his own hands, though he certainly stays close to your side during that time.
He definitely goes full handy man on your ass and installs extra locks and alarms on your house and out of all the guys, he’s one of the most comforting. He’a a hugger so the instant you seem frightened, he’ll pull you close and assure you everything’s alright.
If the authorities™ aren’t going to do anything about it then you bet your ass he will. He’s a proud Texan and has that “if you fuck with my stuff, I will blow you away” type of mentality that most; conservative, gun owning southerners have.
He won’t go out to hunt your ex but he’ll wait for him to come to the two of you and make a good show of sitting on your porch with a sawed off shotgun in hand and a scowl on his face.
Tumblr media
Animal mother~
Animal Mother is borderline feral when it comes to his “territory”. The instant he hears about someone bothering you, he’s fully prepared to teach them a very painful, possibly lethal lesson. There’s not even any waiting until they come around themselves; he’s going to go out and find them. 
He doesn’t find it funny at all; not on the inside at least. He might act like your ex amuses him; most likely to his face to show that he isn't scared of him, but in actuality he’s pissed. He’s two seconds away from throwing a punch at any given moment so if you don’t want that to be the outcome of their confrontation, you’ll have to try very hard to pull him away. He’s definitely the guy who scares off your ex the quickest and most effectively. 
He’ll never admit to it, but a part of him is almost proud of the predicament. He certainly isn’t happy that this guy is harassing you but he feels proud over the fact that he’s the one who has you; the girl that's so desperately sought after by this guy that he’d go to such great lengths to get close to you again. 
Though I should warn you, depending on the situation and how you explain it, the whole ordeal may make him a bit suspicious of you; at least at first. He’ll wonder why this guy isn’t leaving you alone and if you could possibly be trying to play him for a fool. We know Animal Mother isn’t the brightest or most sensitive of the bunch so don’t hold it too much against him. Once he sees how much the mans stalking is bothering you, he’ll drop those ugly thoughts and trust you completely. 
Tumblr media
Eightball~
Alice has got a surprisingly short temper, especially when he’s being personally insulted. And when someone messes with you, he takes that as a personal attack on him. If he has the chance to confront your ex then he’ll do it, most likely scaring him off with his brutal words before he even throws a punch. 
He insists on being your escort, driving you to work, staying at your place when you want him to or when he feels like there's a need. He’ll magically seem to show up at the right place at the right time, a snarky somewhat nonchalant comment leaving his lips as he intercepts your ex and gets you behind him. He’ll try and play it cool but if the guy isn’t standing down, he’ll drop the smile and use some intimidation. 
He’ll make it very clear that you’ve moved on and if he doesn’t too, he’ll be missing a few teeth the next time he comes around you. He’s sorta cocky as your ex stalks off but you can’t bring yourself to be annoyed by his smug smile, not after he just scared off the bane of your existence. 
Tumblr media
Crazy Earl~
Earl has the ability to remain oddly calm no matter what’s going on around him. So when you tell him that your ex is stalking you, he listens carefully, nodding along before asking you what you’d like him to do in the most earnest voice you’ve ever heard. He’s willing to do whatever you want him to, all you have to do is ask. 
Another important thing about Earl: he’s sorta strange. He thinks violence is fun and dark subjects like stalking interest him. He’s a weird guy so if your ex and him ever had an actual conversation, the guy would probably leave you alone on account of you dating a lunatic. 
On that note, he’s more than happy to talk to your ex for you. He’ll confront him and; at first, try to be levelheaded albeit in his own strange way. He’s sort of just weirdly intimidating in general so even though he’s trying to talk to the guy like a normal person, he’s probably giving off serious serial killer vibes the entire time.
If things go south, or if he feels his message isn’t coming across clear enough, he’ll get violent …but in a calm way. He’ll beat your ex boyfriends ass but it’s as though he’s an outsider in the situation and isn’t personally invested in it. …Like I said, he’s strange.
Once he’s finished “talking”, he’ll return to your side and give you a kiss on the head, silently assuring you that you’re not going to be bothered again. 
Tumblr media
Rafterman~
Although Rafterman likes to think of himself as a tough guy who isn’t scared by any man, he really isn’t very confrontational. If it really came down to it then he could certainly hold his own or get physical but he tries his best to avoid that. Instead, he’ll go with you to get a restraining order, install locks and alarms at your place or have you stay with him so that you feel more safe, but he isn’t really eager to go out and fight your ex.
He’ll make it very clear that you’re together when you’re out in public and walk you wherever you need to go so that he doesn’t have as many chances as getting close to you. If he’s forced to or he’s had enough then he’ll talk to the guy himself, telling him that he’s freaking you out and that he needs to leave you alone. 
Once he’s finished threatening the guy, he’ll come back to you sort of jittery though the kiss you give him calms his nerves and fills him with pride. He tries to act like he wasn’t nervous but you know he was and find it both cute and sweet. 
Tumblr media
Sgt Gunnery~
Oh he’ll handle it. Handle it with a beer and shotgun pointed at the maggots face. 
It’s quite literally Gunnery’s job to put people in their place so obviously he’ll be quite efficient in his attempts at getting the boy to leave you alone. In fact, it’s very likely that the instant your ex see’s him, he’ll just book it the other way. Everyone in your town knows about the man and what he does for a living so it’s very rare that anyone messes with him; at least not on purpose. 
If your ex doesn’t immediately run away with his tail between his legs then it’s probably because he doesn’t know who he is. And when I tell you he learns fast, he learns fast. It takes all of two second for your darling drill instructor to land a blow to the boys stomach and verbally tear him in two. Obviously, after that, your ex boyfriend won’t be too keen on getting close to you anymore. 
Overall, Gunnery takes the situation very seriously and assures you that he won’t let anything happen to you. He’ll most likely teach you some self defense as well, or at the very least get you a can of mace and tell you to give him a call if anything happens, no matter how small. 
Tumblr media
Pyle~
Leonard's a lover, not a fighter. To be entirely honest, he’s sort of useless in this situation. The only thing Leonard can really do is scare him off with his size/looks alone and get him to back off since it’s obvious that you’ve found someone else.  
I suppose that if it really came down to it, he could fight but merely because he could use his weight to his advantage. He’s not particularly well spoken or coordinated but he could throw a mean right hook if need be.
Mostly, Leonard's good for comfort. If you’re scared or upset than he’s a shoulder to cry and and arms to be held by. He may not be able to get your ex to stop but he’ll still be able to make you feel more safe and less alone.

adhd pt.2
How Fatgum, Gang Orca, and Midnight would help and support their s/o who has ADHD. Midnight’s are a little shorter than the others. I had a hard time thinking of more headcanons for her.
Warnings: nothing incredibly explicit, but a couple of these talk about sex
Tumblr media
Toyomitsu Taishiro
Tai is a friendly guy. He talks to everyone when you're out and about. Sometimes it's fine. Sometimes it's a lot to handle. He wants you to immediately tell him when you’re starting to feel overstimulated or anxious. Before it gets too bad, he’ll carry you to a safe space. And it doesn’t matter where you are, his sweatshirts are yours. Weight can be very grounding and with his size, they’re very heavy. He’ll hold you close and talk you through the emotions.
Any time you lash out, he might try to ease the tension by making a joke. If you’ve ever been angry, you know jokes just make it worse. He’ll give you time to gather yourself when he realizes you’re actually angry. He won’t snap back. Fighting isn’t what he wants to do. Take some time to cool down. You’ll find him waiting for you with a smile. It’s hard to get him angry and it doesn't hurt his feelings when you lash out, but you should still apologize. He would appreciate it.
Feelings overwhelmed can erupt suddenly. When you sit down at your desk and there are five notebooks, scattered pens and pencils, loose papers, and just useless junk everywhere, you feel completely engulfed under them. It’s almost like you can’t breathe. You don’t know where to start or what to do. Tai will set some time aside to help you sort through your stuff. He may not know exactly where everything goes, but he really wants to help. He hates the look on your face when you’re overwhelmed and he’ll do anything to make it go away.
Lack of restraint and risk-taking behaviors are the most concerning to him. Sure, impulsively buying a dumb stuffed animal is one thing. But buying a new gaming system and four video games is another. The costs add up quickly. Or maybe you take another shot at the bar because screw it, you only live once. Then you do that over and over. ‘Just another shot’ turns into ten more. Your safety is always his number one priority and he worries himself sick thinking you’re going to damage your finances, career, or worse, yourself.
If you didn’t catch what he said, he has no problem repeating himself. Though he worries you aren’t paying attention while you’re in public or when something important is happening. He doesn’t want you mindlessly agreeing to something that you don’t actually want to do or potentially getting hurt. Like how you fling your arms out when you’re talking and hit someone or a wall. To ease his anxiety about you, he’ll hold your hand a lot and offer to give you piggyback rides.
He has a little trouble focusing on smaller tasks as well. He would much rather be doing fun activities out in the world. So he understands your trouble. He also understands how you forget to vacuum even though you promised you would. He isn’t annoyed. He’ll remind you when you’re home to do it. 
Since Tai is such a big guy he taught himself to be gentle early on in his life, particularly when it comes to sex, therefore he isn’t worried if you have sexual hypersensitivities. He's also great at communication and loves talking. He’ll ask what positions you can’t do and where you don’t like to be touched to ensure your comfort is at its max. During sex, if your attention starts drifting, he’ll let you take over to help keep you focused.
Tumblr media
Gang Orca
Kugo’s a clean, organized man. To him, it’s helpful knowing that everything has its place. If you leave bowls and books around or are an overall cluttered person, he’ll pick up after you. Eventually, when your clutter gets to be too much, he’ll create a routine and a to-do list. Before bed, look at the list and look around the room if there are any pillows to put back on the couch or papers to straighten out.
Having physical sensitives is something Kugo can understand. While it’s not to the point he’s overstimulated like people with ADHD have, his skin is still quite sensitive- more than your ‘average’ human skin because of his mutant-type quirk. Whatever you need for self-soothing, he can bring to you when you’re starting to feel overstimulated. Your favorite heavy quilt will be wrapped around your shoulders and he’ll light some vanilla candles.
He’s utterly unbothered by tapping, fidgeting, or restlessness. However, he’s deeply concerned when he notices blood on your lip or fingers. It’s mindless. You don’t hurt yourself on purpose. No matter how many times you explain, it won’t quell his worries. He just really hates seeing you bleed. Out in public, he’ll hold your hand to stop your picking. At home, he keeps a close eye on you and points out your unhealthy habit so you can find a fidget toy or a pen to click. He hopes if he does it enough times it’ll become a subconscious reaction for you to grab a toy to play with instead of your body.
High mood swings and anger are easy for him to take. Your quick snaps go in one ear and out the other- mainly because he knows it's not about him. While he understands the frustration comes at the flip of a switch, he strongly urges you to find ways to deal with your emotions in a healthy way. He’s willing to listen if you want to talk it out. He’s willing to go to the gym if you need to exercise it out. And (if you’re at that point in the relationship), he’s willing to have sex if you need to fuck it out. 
Kugo loves listening to your interests. He supports any and all of your studies. Are you currently into a new TV series? He’ll buy you posters and action figures for surprises on your bad days. Or is the Viking culture suddenly fascinating and you need to learn everything about it? He scoops up some obscure book from that bookstore he passes every day. Even though his presents might not be exactly what you’re looking for, his excitement and passion to support you is really cute.
Focusing on smaller tasks is incredibly difficult. You strain yourself then get frustrated then give up. Seriously, that one piece of paperwork should take ten minutes tops to complete. But it ends up taking over two hours because you just can’t sit and do it. Whenever he notices you fussing at the table, he’ll sit down with you so you can go through the paperwork together. Having someone next to you is helpful. They keep you on track and guide the way through the long passages of words and seemingly confusing questions.
He's uneasy when it comes to any sexual sensitivities. It takes him a while to be ready for sex in general, but if you’re hypersensitive, it’ll take him a hell of a lot longer. He’s so scared of hurting you, especially since his fingers are more like claws and his teeth are sharp. He tries his damnedest to be gentle because he’s always scared that he’ll overstimulate you to the point you’re crying. Your sexual relationship will start with oral and fingering, plateauing at that for a while until he convinces himself he won’t hurt you.
Tumblr media
Kayama Nemuri
Thoughts that bubble up and instantly spout from your mouth are common. Half the time you don’t even realize you spoke. Nemuri will be a little miffed if you keep interrupting her. She doesn’t want to forget her train of thought. She knows you have difficulty controlling it but she would appreciate it if you let her finish her sentence so she can fully listen to and understand yours.
Fidgeting and squirming don’t annoy her. She’s a Hero and a teacher. She’s become desensitized to all sorts of restlessness. Though she is in the same boat as Aizawa in that, if you’re a clicker or tapper, she’ll ask if you could find something else to fidget with. But she won’t snap at you as he may. She has a serious soft spot for her partner and rarely raises her voice.
However, those times when your anger gets sparked because your lotion bottle broke or you thought you had more of your favorite chips and you lash out when she asks what’s wrong, she’ll get defensive from time to time and might snap back. It depends on how long her day was and how tired/stressed she is. Most of the time she can reel herself back, realizing you’re not angry at her. But if she had a hard day, her retort comes quickly and sharply. It’s enough to make you pause, recognizing how you reacted to her simple question. When you apologize, she will too, wanting to make up as soon as possible.
Her quirk is quite convenient for overstimulation. If you give your consent, she can emit a tiny amount of her aroma to relax you. If you need serious instant relief, she can put you to sleep. But she won’t rely on her quirk every single time. She doesn’t like completely knocking you out. Any self-soothing techniques you use, she’ll read about and work out ways she can provide you with what you need.
Nemuri will have to change her outlook on sex a little bit. She’s very dominant, loves being the active partner, and dips (more than a little) into sadism. But she’s experienced. She’s aware her kinks aren’t always liked. Before you’re ever intimate, she’ll sit down with you to set clear and defined boundaries about what you can take. If pain is something you can’t handle or just don’t want, she’s fine without it. Her love for you is more important than her kinks.

What I Thought About "Keeping Up A-Fear-Ances" from The Owl House
Salutations, random people on the internet who most likely won’t read this! I am an Ordinary Schmuck. I write stories and reviews and draw comics and cartoons!
When Dana Terrace did her AMA on Reddit, a fan asked what we could expect for the new season. To which she replied by listing five things:
Parental conflict
A lot of emotions
Island exploration
New characters
...There's a fifth thing in there. You just got to look closely.
Now, when Dana mentioned parental conflict, dozens of fans assumed she was talking about Alador and Odalia, which, I mean...valid. They were the only two parental figures who presented any real conflict, and the idea of Camila being involved seemed implausible due to Luz being cut off from the human world. But no matter how you perceived that line, one thing’s for sure: No one expected Eda and Lilith's mother to be a source of conflict!
Yup. Today we met the woman who created two of the (former) greatest witches in all of the Isles. Was her introduction welcomed? Or did she give the Blights a run for their money for the "Worst Parent(s) of the Year" award? Only spoilers can answer those questions, so keep that in mind as we go in-depth with "Keeping Up A-Fear-Ances."
Let's review, shall we!
WHAT I LIKED
The Flashback: Already, this episode comes out swinging by giving us so much information! We get an explanation of what Eda goes through when cursed (which is horrifying), the reasoning behind her gem, the revelation that Eda ran away from home, and the reveal of how she got the portal door. The best part is, none of it feels rushed or forced. Eda's curse and the portal are integral threads to this story, both in this episode and in future ones. Tying them together sets up Gwendolyn's determination to cure her daughter while showing Eda's determination to escape her mother by skipping town into another dimension. There's also a sense of mystery in how and why the portal was in their backyard. And judging by how we got all of this incredible information in episode FOUR of the new season, something tells me we'll get answers to those questions sooner than we might think. This was such a strong opening to the episode. Despite giving so much information, it makes fans like me want even more. Which is an A+ in my book.
Gwendolyn: Yeah, might as well step out the gate in saying that I like Gwen...but I can already see how others won't. Immediately, she sets herself up as a mother who would do anything and everything to cure her daughter. That aspect of her character is perfect, and it quickly won points from me in terms of liking her. It's just that Gwendolyn's disregard of what Eda wants and the complete dismissal of Lilith are aspects of Gwen that are certainly going to rub some people the wrong way. Especially if those kids come from households where their parents are a lot like Gwendolyn. I was in the same boat of hating her too for a while, but thankfully, the last act saved her.
First, there's that scene where Gwendolyn threatened the lives of the demons for not only screwing her over but making things worse for Eda. It's one of those "Hell hath no fury like a mother scorned" moments that I always love to see.
Then there's the fact that Gwendolyn learns her lesson and, more importantly, apologizes. Not many actual abusive mothers would do that (Looking at you, Odalia), so it's nice to see that she makes an effort to make amends. Oh, and by the way, since I mentioned it, don't go around calling Gwendolyn abusive. She isn't. Or, at least, not to my eyes. If anything, she's a lot like Sara Fitzgerald from My Sister's Keeper (The book. Not the movie. The movie sucked).
In that story, Sara makes controversial choices that result in her youngest daughter Anna getting the short end of the stick due to putting all attention towards her eldest Kate. But here's the thing: KATE HAS CANCER! So while Sara's choices are beyond questionable, you can understand her point. And if you don't, well, I'd see how you would react when in her shoes. Trust me when I say that situations like this aren't always cut and dry. It's the same with Gwendolyn. She's far from "Mom of the year," but you understand where she's coming from. She wants to do what she can to help Eda, even if her methods could have been better. But that's just how I feel, and I can't speak for everyone who dealt with mothers far worse than her. If you refuse to forgive her, I'll understand. But to me, I consider Gwendolyn a worthy addition to the series.
(Plus, she just radiates Grandma energy when interacting with Luz. It's cute, and therefore I must love it!)
Luz: This season is on FIRE when presenting Luz!
I adore that the first thing we see her doing in this episode is sleeping after, most likely, another all-nighter to find a new portal. It proves that she has a determination made of iron and an intense dedication to getting back to Camila. In fact, it's that dedication that works as a perfect way to build a connection between Luz and Gwendolyn. They both want to reconnect with their families and are willing to do whatever it takes to do so.
Regardless, despite so desperately wanting to see Camila again, I'm glad that Luz still has common sense when it comes to helping Eda. She quickly sees that Gwen's cures are doing more harm than good, and it's great that Luz is the one to call malarky on the whole thing. No one had to spell things out for her because she's smart enough to notice that everything Professor Warlop is marketing feels a lot more like the fake medicine real people sell in the human world. It's a testament that despite having a big heart and the best intentions, Luz still has the intelligence to know when something is up and put a stop to it. And, again, let's hope that more people pick up on that.
Lilith: ...who would have expected Lilith of all characters to have most of the emotional moments in this episode?! I sure didn't!
But...Yeah. Lilith is the best thing in "Keeping Up A-Fear-Ances." On top of her seeking Gwendolyn's approval being relatable for some viewers, it's also really heartbreaking. I mean, listen to the shocked and hurt tone in her voice after finding out Gwen visited Eda regularly. That alone should give away how much Gwendolyn is important to Lilith and says so much about how strained their relationship became after the curse. Then there's that scene where she just breaks down, feeling both scared and torn apart by the fact that she experienced the curse in its full form and could do nothing to stop herself. It...stung. That's the best way to describe it. It stung seeing a character who is (mostly) cool and collective to become so vulnerable and broken. And, you know what? It's because of this that Lilith has won me over. I still don't think she should have been as forgiven as quickly as she was, but after learning what Lilith went through and what she's currently going through, I'm more than willing to be ok with her. And--I can't believe I'm saying this--I'm going to miss her being a part of the Owl House. She earned her place, in my opinion, creating entertaining dynamics with everyone. Sure, she'll make appearances every now and again, but I wouldn't mind a few more episodes with her being with the main group. But I'm positive the writers will have plans for her in the future and seeing how well she was written in this, I can't wait to see what they do next.
King Hoping to see his Dad Again: This was just a cute tidbit that ties nicely into last week's episode. Bonus points for that scene where King and Lilith get drunk off of Night Market ice cream. It got a good chuckle out of me, especially when Hooty was the one who ended up being the voice of reason.
Cursed Lilith: ...How does she look worse and more terrifying than Eda?
How Beast Keeping Magic Works: Not much I can say about this. It's neat to be given a visual explanation of how Beast Keeping magic works and how it's more than just controlling animals. Judging by the roof shingles, it can also be making objects more animal-like. It's pretty cool, and I hope to see more of how the rest of the magic from the prominent covens work.
Luz wasn’t the only human: To tell you the truth, this doesn't surprise me. Eda did say that every myth humans have is a bit of the Boiling Isles leaking into the human world, so why can't the opposite be true? However, the reveal of there being a famous human around many years ago presents many more questions, and possible theories, that deserve to be discussed in a future post. For now, I'll just say that it's awesome how this reveal perfectly transitions us to next week's episode, "Through the Looking Glass Ruins." We already know Luz is going to the library. But, seeing how Gus is going to be a prominent character in that episode as well, he probably wanted to tag along with Luz to study about the first human in the Boiling Isles. Only to then get sidetracked by some cool kids from Glandis. It's in the realm of possibility, thus proving how more serialized this season compared to Season One while still being somewhat episodic. Because even if "Keeping Up A-Fear-Ances" presents a lot for the overall story, it's still its own tale about family relationships and knowing how to truly be there for the people you love. Resulting in a necessary and cute episode that ends on a wholesome note without any major surprises like--
Creepy Clone Luz: ...
...Dana Terrace, you lying--YOU SAID CREEPY LUZ WAS A FARCE! IN THE SAME AMA, TOO! CURSE YOU! CURSE YOU AND YOUR SNAKE TONGUE, GOSH DANGIT!
...Alright, now that I got my overreaction out of the way, this was an amazingly well-written surprise!
Tricking fans into thinking that Camila is crying over the realization that Luz is gone, only to then reveal this...thing, is the best shock to the system that this series has done so far. Even better, it results in all the right questions:
Who is it?
What is it?
Where did it come from?
When did it get there?
How did it get there?
How does it know about Camila?
And why? Just, why?
To me, a series that presents all of these questions, and makes me excited for whatever answers are given, is a series that's doing something right. Because if I'm still reeling over something that lasts for a second, despite seeing the episode hours ago, that is a testament to how good a surprise really is.
WHAT I DISLIKED
Trust me, I want to give this episode the A+ just for that ending alone. But, there are some issues I have that are worth discussing.
Eda’s Outfit Change: I know. It's the nitpickiest of all nitpicks I could present. Particularly because Eda doesn't even look bad (although that's no surprise). The issue is that it feels weird that Eda's having this permanent outfit change in the fourth episode of Season Two. Or, to me it is, at least. Because I think that if you're going to give a small yet constant change to the look of a character, it should be done right away. Like, in the first episode of a new season. I highly doubt fans would question why Eda is wearing different clothes by then, so it wouldn't be too bad if the first time we see her, she’s sporting a new outfit. Again, this is just me, and I have no problems with the outfit itself. It just seems odd they would do this later rather than sooner.
Screwing with Eda: I...did not like this. At all. It was funny at first to see Luz and Gwendolyn lure Eda with Apple Blood like how Wile E. Coyote would bait the Road Runner with birdseed, but it quickly took a turn. Because I don't want to see Eda meet inconvenience after inconvenience from her mother and surrogate daughter. I like Eda, and seeing her happy makes me happy. If I wanted to laugh at a character's suffering, I would have picked Boscha, Mattholomule, Alador, and/or Odalia. This? This was just unnecessary cruelness to a character who doesn't deserve it. And it takes up a good chunk of this episode, making me question whether or not this would be the stinker I was fearing. Fortunately, the ending increased my enjoyment by several notches, but that doesn't change how this was the low point of "Keeping Up A-Fear-Ances."
IN CONCLUSION
Despite the road being rocky in the middle, I still consider "Keeping Up A-Fear-Ances" to be another solid A episode. The first and last few minutes have some quality writing that adds more to the characters, ongoing plot, and mystery that the series is building up. It's one of those important episodes you can't skip when watching a series, but given how it's keeping the new season's impeccable track record, I fail to see how that's a problem.
(Although, I am scared. We haven't gotten a stinker yet, and I really don't want it to be next week's episode. It's a Gus episode with sweet Lumity content on the side! That cannot fail!)

Oh, I see your new title! Okay, tell me about Mitsuo. Anything you want, your headcanons, AUs, canon, or anything else, here's your rambling free pass!
THANK. YOU. You are a life saver. I have wanted to ramble about this stupid boy for SO LONG.
I’ll try not to ramble for like, ridiculously long, but also I really can’t predict how long it’ll end up being in the end. But where do I begin…?
I’d say I have quite a few Mitsuo AUs, the first one that comes to mind is a one off one where he’s an Imp, absolutely inspired by my partner’s Miitopia game, where Mitsuo is an Imp. I really love Imp Mitsuo in that game, he’s a little brat and he causes problems on purpose and I just adore it, it kickstarted my third wave of Mitsuo Love. It would he fun to do something with this AU but I haven’t thought of much by myself. I do know he usually comes out of hiding in Inaba around nighttime and steals stuff, because again, he’s just a little troublemaker. Narukami tries to befriend him, because it’s Narukami, and I can’t NOT create an AU where they aren’t involved with each other somehow.
I guess that’s another thing I’ve been brainrotting over, not explicitly Mitsuo, but him and Narukami as a ship. Can I call the ship Mitsuyu? I’m gonna call it Mitsuyu.
I really really like this ship. I really love the idea of Narukami trying to befriend Mitsuo because of how he’s portrayed to try and befriend literally everyone, I love the idea of him being the only one with enough understanding and compassion and empathy to get close with Mitsuo and really learn about him. I like how in game Narukami’s willing to go up to Mitsuo on the street and just listen to him ramble, and I feel like Mitsuo has no one to talk to aside from Narukami, so whenever he gets the chance, he just goes on and on and on, and Narukami’s willing to listen. I think he’s got a lot of things swirling around in his head, he could ramble for hours.
I’m worried this ramble is just gonna turn into one about Mitsuyu now, lmao.
Imagine how they’d interact in the Imp Mitsuo AU… Mitsuo would probably be a little shit. Like, he’d just completely mess around with Narukami all the time, maybe be a little flirty sometimes. He’d probably be genuinely surprised when Narukami keeps coming back to talk to him through it all. Next thing he knows, he’s got a genuine friend, and oh no, he’s catching feelings! Because let’s face it, Mitsuo would definitely catch feelings first, I think.
They’d probably hit him like a slap in the face. I think Narukami would come to a more gradual realization of his feelings. He’d be better at hiding them compared to Mitsuo too - Mitsuo’s probably painfully obvious. To clarify, I’m not strictly talking about Imp Mitsuo here, I mean EVERY Mitsuo from any AU I discuss that includes Mitsuyu.
Narukami would be really good for Mitsuo. I already have a post about Mitsuo headcanons, I believe, though I can’t remember if I listed off the headcanon of him being neglected. Couple that with him being ignored or belittled by everyone else around him because of his looks, it’s no wonder he’s so desperate for attention he’d kill a guy. Also sometimes I wonder how he managed to kill Morooka AND hang his body on a roof. He’s still in high school, y’know? Weird boy. But I digress.
Narukami would give him all the attention he’s been craving for so long. Praise, hugs, kisses, all the soft stuff Mitsuo didn’t realize he really needed until he got it. I think Mitsuo would cry when he gets to cuddle Narukami for the first time. Narukami would soothe him, too. I just want them to be soft, Mitsuo needs it.
It’d take a while, but I can see Narukami’s existence in Mitsuo’s life affecting him drastically, by that I mean holy shit Narukami, you just prevented a murder. Narukami would kill away Mitsuo’s feelings of emptiness, he wouldn’t feel like he’s nothing anymore, because he matters to Narukami. As long as he’s around, Mitsuo isn’t nothing. He feels he finally has a purpose.
I also can’t remember if I mentioned this in the Mitsuo headcanons post, but I don’t think Mitsuo would care what you label his gender as, maybe. Not much to it, he just doesn’t care. Maybe he secretly gets happy when someone refers to him with pronouns that aren’t he/him for once. He’s not good at hiding it in front of Narukami, I bet. Narukami likes to frequently switch his pronouns around just to see him smile. Mitsuo doesn’t smile very often, so Narukami cherishes it.
I used to think of Mitsuo’s in-game sprites as completely unflattering, at least, compared to how he looks in the P4 anime. He’s really cute in the anime. But I’ve gotten so fond of him that I actually think his smiling sprite is cute now. Like, when you can talk to him in the shopping district and he’s rambling about the murders, you have the option to either agree or disagree with what he says. When you agree, he smiles. And it totally gets to me. Not only does no one talk to him, I bet barely anyone ever agrees with him on things, either. I can’t imagine how happy he might feel to have someone engage with him for once and actually agree with what he says.
There’s so much untapped potential with Mitsuo, it’s so sad. The most you get of his backstory is through his dungeon, and through talking with NPCs around town about him, and thats about it. It’s a shame that Atlus didn’t flesh him out as much as the other characters. Seriously, through his attention seeking nature alone, there’s so much potential backstory there. What he’s already got is fine, it’s okay, but he could’ve gotten so much more. And most people brush him off because of his looks, too, so there’s really not much Mitsuo fan content out there to consume, along with the small amount of official Mitsuo content that exists.
I think a social link with him would be really cool, but with how everything fits together in P4 like a puzzle, it would never work out without heavy planning and modification. Might be a cool mod though.
I think his dungeon is great, and I love how one floor is the exact same as a floor in Adachi’s dungeon because he’s a mock killer. I like it visually, and I LOVE his dungeon theme. I was so angry when I heard it for the first time because goddamn, it was criminally catchy. I love his boss fight too. He needs to hide behind a video game character, a shield, to pretend to be strong and courageous and mature, when he’s really just a weak, cowardly child with (most likely) an overinflated ego. I like how the dialogue progresses into madness the farther you go into his dungeon, I like the first dialogue of Mitsuo getting “knocked down” by Morooka to represent him getting expelled. Even though there’s not much of it, the stuff in P4 relating to Mitsuo is all really cool and really fascinating.
I think it’d do wonders for his character just seeing more cutscenes with him in them. Like, before Morooka’s murder, you can see him in the background of some of Yukiko’s s-links, stalking her. Maybe it shows a cutscene of him rambling to Rise that one time, or it shows him angrily running out of Marukyu Tofu when the boys go there for the first time, cuz he was being ignored. Maybe there could be a simple cutscene of him being lead into the interrogation room by Adachi and then being pushed into the TV because YES, I AM STILL SALTY THAT HE IS THE ONLY VICTIM WITHOUT A CUTSCENE. I know the lights were off, but… C’mon, Atlus, doesn’t that just make your job easier…?
And look at that, I STILL ended up rambling about Mitsuo for too damn long. So sorry about that, but seriously - thank you for giving me the opportunity. It’s not very often that I get to talk about him, so I really just indulged in myself here. And sorry if the formatting is weird, or if the progression doesn’t make sense etc. I practically started speaking my mind, just seeing where that would take me. And it took me all over the place :’)

Hi, I really loved how thoughtful your recent blurbs about an SO who self harms were. I've been having awful chronic pain recently. It hasn't made me immobile but I'm sleeping a lot and gaining weight and overall feeling really uncomfortable. Especially when I have to go into work. Could I get Noya, Bokuto, and Tendou with an SO who has chronic pain?
Thank you so much! I hope this was ok for you! Im sorry about the wait 🥰
S/O with Chronic Pain - Nishinoya, Bokuto and Tendou
Nishinoya:
Noya has a very low pain tolerance in general so it’s a little hard for him to understand chronic pain and how much it affects you
however, he is very willing to learn about your condition and asks you lots of questions about it to familiarise himself with each problem it can cause
Noya is really good at motivating you to be a little active each day to strengthen your body and, hopefully, ease the pain a little
even just small activities such as stretches you can do from your bed, or taking little walks outside everyday 
if you take regular painkillers, he’s great at reminding you to take each dose on time and give you food or snacks so they don’t upset your stomach
he’s extremely patient with you if you need to take things slow or work your way up to being able to do more activities on bad days
he’s super proud of you on your better days when you’re up and about without too much struggle, he’ll hype you up and compliment you tons
he does need to be held back a little to make sure he isn’t overworking you - he just enjoys doing things with you and forgets that it can become very difficult since his own stamina and energy is endless
his own energy does help you to feel a little brighter yourself though, as if he’s channeling his excess energy into you
Noya is prone to overworking himself a lot, so he enjoys days where the two of you spend time together not doing much, he knows it can be frustrating for you though so he keeps your mind busy with movies and chatting
he likes to try a lot of relaxation techniques with you such as deep breathing or meditation to help you feel less anxious or frustrated and relax your body
it doesn’t bother him if you sleep a lot, he thinks its great you are getting lots of rest, whenever he is sick his mother always tells him to stay in bed and rest, so its the same for you, right?
when you’re feeling a lot of discomfort he will get anything for you to help you feel better, heat packs? more pillows? some water? whatever you need, he’s on it
Bokuto:
Bokuto has a tendency to forget about your pain a lot, especially on good days where you can be more active
although with some reminding, he is amazing at taking care of you
he loves giving you massages and running you hot baths, hoping they will soothe your pain a little
he’s very considerate when planning dates for the two of you - he always keeps in mind (when reminded) how much your body can cope with and offers easy, yet still lovely options for you two do to together, such as going to a cafe or sitting in the park
his favourite thing to get you moving a little on bad days is by throwing a volleyball towards you and having you catch it or hit it back, him standing while you sit in your bed or on a chair
it’s fun and distracting, but also gets your body moving a little
he’s not the best to rely on when remembering to take medication, he forgets easily himself so you’ll probably need to set an alarm on your phone instead
really enjoys taking you swimming on better days, he knows its a great form of exercise thats gentle on the body, plus he gets to see you in a swimsuit so its a win-win
even if you’re struggling to swim with the pain, he loves to carry you in the water and just get you legs or arms moving a little
you might often feel low in your mood on bad days, so Bokuto is always there to try and cheer you up with soothing cuddles
he understands you need a lot of rest, but he tries to not let you sleep too much in case your body gets stiff, even if you just get up to eat and change then he’s proud
he’s extremely caring and worries about you so much, but he can be a little forgetful and push you a bit too far sometimes
he often asks around (particularly his coach and Akaashi) if there is anything he can do for you to help ease your pain
Tendou:
Tendou is so good at distracting you from the pain while also doing things to ease it
often comes out with bizarre ideas for you two to do together, like doing couples yoga or playing dancing games - really, he is trying to find ways of getting you moving that help you best without too much difficulty
he does a lot of his own research about it, so he won’t ask you too many questions besides generally checking up on you
if you aren’t already, he recommends seeing a physiotherapist as this could help you a lot
since he’s been playing sports for many years, he has a pretty big bank of stretching and healing exercises in his memory so he’ll help you do them too while telling you stories of his sporting days 
he’s not the worlds best cook, but he does like to make you food to bring to you and make sure you’re eating enough
even better though is that you come and help him cook or bake
he knows your mood and confidence might get pretty bad so he’s constantly flooding you with affection and kind, loving words about how amazing and gorgeous you are
he always seems to have everything prepped for you before you even ask - painkillers, blankets, heat packs etc. he’s really good at reading you so he can tell when your pain is getting worse
he never feels like he’s missing out when you have many bad days in a low, he loves cuddling with you and spending chilled out time inside binge-watching anime and movies - honestly, its his favourite thing to do with you 
creates a pain tracker with you so you both can see your progress and how things change through the day, it also lets you both know if certain things make it worse or better

jeez, i like this blog. how about writing Soda, Kirigiri, Mukuro, Celeste, Hagakure, Ouma and Kiibo with albino s/o? some cute general hc and some hcs about dealing with their sensetive to sun skin and eyes and weak health at all, and with people who bullying them for their appearance? thanks, have a nice day.
Kazuichi Souda, Kyoko Kirigiri, Mukuro Ikusaba, Celestia Ludenberg, Yasuhiro Hagakure, Kokichi Ouma, and Kiibo with albino S/O
Ya’ll are opening my horizons to different things wait I love this. 
Ever since this request popped into my ask box I’ve been excited to write it sorry it took so long! Kisses xx
-Mod Souda
Tumblr media
Kazuichi Souda
He’s basically your designated driver when you need it.
Any questions you have at all about trying to read signs from a distance or if there’s anyone nearby that might make fun of you, he’ll answer you. He’s good at defending you.
Since he’s semi intimidating, if you’re with him, people just think wow look at the alt couple. Some people assume that you don’t naturally look like that, too.
When he first met you, he’d wave to you once you exited school, not realizing you could hardly see him with the sun outside.
You sun burn easily, too, and his first solution to this was to try and get you to wear one of his jumpers.
I mean - yeah but also no.
Once tried to convince you to wear his beanie to but you assured him that that will not protect you from the sun.
Your social scene was never too active because of the way you are. But Souda understand this too, on a less medical sense. 
He always tries to get you to hang around his friends, as well.
He’s always there to remind you that you are not a curse and that he loves you, kissing your skin and holding you close.
Since you were bullied throughout your kid years, when you finally were around his friend group, you were surprised that all of them were nice.
He is a very good person to be with when it comes to things like, of course, being nervous about who you are. 
He’s helpful and will work harder to get money to buy anything you need to help you live more comfortably.
Surprises you with flowers a lot. Not necessarily bouquets but just small flowers lying around your room.
His favorite thing to do is just surprise you with small things hidden around the house. Your favorite drink, small sweats, things that make you happy.
Kyoko Kirigiri
She’s a very intelligent girl, and she holds a lot of power.
“Remember to bring your sunglasses,” she’ll always remind you.
Has extra gloves for you, too.
Requests to change some of the lightbulbs in the classrooms just in case they are the type that hurt you.
She’s also a very good cuddler, too! She’ll run her fingers up and down your arms or play with your hair.
Doesn’t like to go on dates outside, which is fine by you.
Instead of outside dates, she’ll watch your favorite movies with you, or ask you questions to learn more about you.
She’s a curious cat when it comes to what makes you you.
You try to reciprocate the energy, but she doesn’t like to answer all of the questions you give her.
All the questions, all the questions, all the questions! You almost think she’s making a journal about you.
Sometimes she’ll take you out in the night in December, putting Christmas lights around the neighborhood. 
Someone will have to get on the other’s shoulders, often, but that just makes everything so much funner.
Especially when the tiny bit of snow falls from the sky.
Seeing Kyoko in the snow is like watching an angel.
Mukuro Ikusaba
She doesn’t quite understand what albinism means.
But she knows that it’s something serious, and you aren’t like other people.
Anything you tell her she’ll try to remember.
For your birthday, she got you a parasol. It was your favorite color, too! 
Twirling it in your hand while the two of you walk together is everything!
You got her a matching one, too, the both of you can twirl your parasol’s together.
She gets you a lot of random presents, things you don’t even know where she gets it from. Posters of your favorite musicians are you favorites.
When she moves into your house, she adds a lot of decor to your room. Things like plants, adding shelves for her books, and different stuffed animals her sister stole for her when they were homeless.
She’s very much an indoors person, but she is willing to do the shopping and cooking whenever you don’t feel well.
Can carry you, too. She’s surprisingly strong. 
Not that she can carry you, let me correct myself. She will carry you.
Also will fight anyone who disrespects you.
Celestia Ludenberg
She has a collection of parasol’s in her house, and will definitely allow you to dress up in her gothic lolita clothes if you so desired.
She likes touching your skin, too, definitely.
Everything about you is beautiful to her.
Being next to you in public makes her proud that she was able to date someone like you. 
Will help you in any way. 
But she always wants something in return. A kiss, nothing serious. Maybe showering with her if she’s feeling lonely enough.
“You’re invited to the mansion with me when I become rich,” she coos one night, turning to her side to look at you.
To her, the invite was a serious thing. All of her life she dreamed about being alone in the house with all of those boys. But if you’re there with her, then it might be a little better.
She is dreamy when it comes to skincare, and will always massage your face. It’s usually when you come back from being outside, and the sun has bothered your eyes, she will draw her thin fingers across your face to try and ease at least some pain.
But she’s such a drama queen sometimes, wondering why you can’t just go have tea with her sometime. Both of you settled on going when the sun is down, or when the clouds are thick. 
Because tea with her is fun, actually. Makes you tune into your inner lolita subculture.
Yasuhiro Hagakure
He’s a dummy sometimes.
“Hiro, can you grab my sunhat?”
“Sure thing!”
You step outside, asking him where it is.
“I forgot to get it, wait-”
His body is really large, and he can shade you if you get too overwhelmed. Not to mention that he easily drapes his jacket over you, sometimes.
This boy cares a lot!!!!
He listens to your every last word and complaint!! If you are in pain? He’s gonna take you home immediately!
A lot of strangers like to stare at you, sometimes taking pictures without you noticing.
He always calls them out, often yelling in public to defend you.
You defend him, too, sometimes having to bonk people on the head when they gawk at him.
But he’s an outdoorsy fellow when he’s not constantly in fear that the yakuza would kill him.
You don’t get to see him all that often. It’s a little disheartening.
He comes home whenever he can to give you big hugs!
Kokichi Ouma
He’s a little goofer sometimes.
Sometimes you have to go out without him, and it’ll never go well.
You’ll be almost out the door. “Where are my sunglasses?”
“Oh, I don’t know, S/O. Where are they?”
“You little shit.”
He always wants to go with you when you go outside. Just because he likes hanging out with you, also because he thinks your routine is very interesting.
Sneaks up on you all the time. Especially in public. 
It’s your least favorite thing ever when he does it when it’s sunny outside. 
But if someone tries to bother you, though, he will trip them or spit on them or even push them out of the way.
A lot of his DICE members will join in too, terrorizing them even days after. 
Every time he spends the night, he wakes up earlier than you, and always makes you a cup of tea/water/coffee for you when you wake up. 
He definitely gives you hugs from behind, too. Not even to surprise you. He just really likes wrapping his arms around you from that angle.
Draws you little pictures of yourself to leave around the house. It’s weird when he hasn’t came over in a while and yet you still find little post-it notes all over.
Kiibo
He has a very big brain! But he still asks a lot of questions about it.
He makes, almost forces, you to eat a lot of healthy foods so your physical health can improve a bit. It’s very annoying, but you do it for him.
Surprise kisses are what he’s good at! He will wake you up with kisses, give you nightly kisses before he turns off, and give you kisses throughout his day.
And he keeps his eyes on you!! Like all the time!!
Because he worries, and he tries not to let you know, which fails.
“Kiibo, you don’t have to worry.”
“I-I’m not worried! I just... love you a lot.”
You laugh, “you are worried because you love me.”
It makes him blush every time you tell him that. 
He loves you with all of his heart, it’s scary sometimes!
He didn’t think it was possible to love someone so much!
So he likes hearing you say you love him all the time. 
He doesn’t like the sun that much, and his ventures outside are shortlived, so you don’t have to worry about being forced to go out for whatever reason.

Happy Friday The 13th!
Tumblr media
Jason Voorhees x Gender-Neutral S/O          
Words : 2,3k+
Genre : Fluff, Angst
Warning : None
           Your activities are getting busier every day, especially after it is announced when the midterm exam will take place. You have to carefully think about how to manage your time well, to study, rest, and make time for your lover, Jason Voorhees.
           This week has been tough for you, so you decided to spend your weekend with Jason. You pack your books and stationery, change of clothes, toiletries, blankets, and some snacks. You put the items in your backpack, then walks out of the house and start getting into the car and drive to Camp Crystal Lake.
         The sky this afternoon is looking a little cloudy, it turns you into a bad mood. Moreover, also because you are stuck in traffic. Crystal Lake is located quite a distance from where you live, it takes about 3 hours to go there by car.
           You close your eyes while grunting in annoyance. You put your head on the steering wheel of the car, then gently tap the it with your fingers. You look up, and your eyes are fixed on the long line of cars in front of you. Shit, when will all of this end? You've been stressed enough lately, why is there still this traffic jam anyway?
         You looked at the clock on your cellphone. It's two-thirty in the afternoon. It should be a naptime for you, no wonder why you’re a little sleepy.
         The traffic slowly starts to move. You immediately rush to drive your car quickly. Shortly after, you started to enter the suburbs. There aren't many people around here. The trees are shady, and there is only one road that is not paved but not rocky either. This road will be very slippery when it rains because it can make your vehicle slip.
         You let out a sigh of relief and smile a little when you finally passed a wooden board that read 'Welcome to Crystal Lake'.
           Upon your arrival there, you park your car right next to the entrance. You get out of the car, put your two feet on the slightly dry soil of Crystal Lake. You look at the trees, and you just remember that it is autumn. Autumn is your and Jason's favorite season because the air is cool, not too hot, but not too cold either. Apart from that, the leaves and trees are all reddish-orange. Beautiful.
         You walk into the camp area. You miss the place since the last time you visited here, which was about three weeks ago. You did not go here for two weeks. You were pretty busy, so you were not sure if you could meet Jason. You're feeling a little scared. What if Jason gets mad at you? You promised him to come once a week, every weekend.
           There is the sound of dry leaves and broken branches when you step your feet, and you are completely stunned to see the view of the lake. The lake looks very peaceful, and you find some small animals running around in search of food supplies before hibernating in winter.
         You continue your footsteps to get to the cabin where Jason lives. He has made a path for you to walk that is clear from the bear traps. You're walking and holding the straps of your backpack, you're so excited and can't wait to meet Jason. You sing a little while chuckling and every time you see flying birds.
           “Jason!” You shout while waving your hands enthusiastically when you see the figure of a tall and large man sitting on a fallen tree trunk on the edge of the lake.
         Jason doesn't turn at you in the slightest.
         You lower your hand slowly, then feel uncomfortable and a bit strange. You look down, walks slowly and carefully approached him.
         “Jason? I—” Your words are interrupted when Jason points towards his cabin which is located not far from where you are standing now. He doesn't even look at you when he gives you a gesture to go to the cabin.
         Seeing his unfamiliar and cold reaction like that feels painful to you. You walk towards his cabin, open the door, put your backpack, and sit on the old sofa that was in the middle of the room. You're sure this must have something to do with your absence for two weeks.
           “Dammit,” you whispered to yourself. You feel very guilty for not telling Jason about your exam schedule. You left for two weeks without a word, you must have made him worried a lot. You have prepared yourself if after this Jason will be mad at you and not want to see you again.
           You look up and find that Jason is not sitting on the fallen tree trunk anymore. You shake your head several times before closing your eyes tightly. You have no energy even just to step on your feet, out and search for him. You leaned your back against the sofa.
           “I would go if he really tells me to go,” you muttered softly, looking at the emptiness in front of you. You lay down, find a comfortable position, then decide to sleep on the sofa.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
           You open your eyes slowly, your deep sleep is disturbed because you heard a noise. Everything looks blurry, and oh, it's raining. Trying to keep your eyes open, you stroked your arms slowly. It's cold.
           Clack.
            Jason put a glass of warm herbal tea on the table. He stands in front of you and watching you in silence. You immediately get up from your sleep, then sit on the sofa. You look back at Jason tensely. You don't want to say anything other than thanking him for making you tea.
Jason may not be the smartest student in his school, but this boyfriend of yours is really good at learning things. Everything he can do—build and fix the cabin and its furniture, understand the cabling system, make herbal teas, grow crops—is self-taught. And let's be honest, you're very proud of him.
           Jason walks toward you, then rests himself beside you. He lets out a deep breath, not taking his eyes off you at all. You're sipping the tea, and the taste is not bad? It's enough to warm your body. You're tapping the glass with your finger, getting nervous.
           “Jason, I'm sorry,” you said, looking at Jason. Jason doesn't give you any response, indicating that he allows you to continue. “I, I have midterm exams for two weeks, so I didn't come to visit you. The last time I came here, I forgot to tell you this. So I thought I've made you worried," you explain to him. 
           He nods. Yes, you have made him upset and worried.
           Jason then stretches out his arms and pulls your body closer to him. You let him do that, and now you're in his embrace. You bury your face in his chest, feel the rising and falling of his breath. “I'm sorry,” you say. Jason hugs you tight and strokes your back lightly. “This week has been quite chaotic for me, and I didn't even think about coming here and spending time with you.”
           Jason loosens his hug and lifts your chin softly. He looks into your eyes, and you look exhausted. Then he tilts his head slightly. “Well, my exam went… smooth enough. I know I didn't get an A but I think that next week there will still be a lot of assignments and exams to go through, and I don't know if I could visit you or not,” you say, staring at Jason while resting your head against his chest.
           You notice Jason's eyes sparkle and he holds you even tighter. Jason doesn't care about your grades on exams. What he worries about is if you become stressed because of your exam. But after hearing your story and you said that your exam was going well, he gives you a few gentle pats on your head as a reward.
           “Oh, the head pats are the reward for me?” you ask, smiling widely. Jason gives you a brief nod and goes back to pat your head a few times. You let out a chuckle that is so refreshing to Jason's ears. During your absence, all Jason heard was the sound of small animals and silence. Jason misses you, and he realizes that you are very important to him. “Thank you, handsome,” you reply, giving a little kiss on Jason's forehead.
           The rain outside is getting heavier, and you just cuddle in silence with Jason. He pulled out a blanket and covered both of you. You smirk at him, you have a plan. You sneak your hands into the blanket and try to tickle Jason, and oh my God, you can hear Jason chuckle! Your boy is so ticklish, you couldn't help but keep tickling him.
           “Ah, who gave you the right to be this cute?” you say, stop tickling Jason and give him a boop in his nose. Jason immediately looking down to hide his face, and you can be sure that his cheeks are now flushing red. He is very embarrassed every time you praise him, and he puts his hands together to cover his face. Seeing his reaction, you laugh instantly. You take both of his hands and put them away from his face, and lift his hockey mask a little to give him a soft kiss on the lips.
           “You always bite my lip whenever we kiss. What a biter. I'm afraid if someday you'll steal my lips away,” you say as you let go of your kiss and grin softly. Jason rubs the nape of his neck, please forgive him as he's not used to kissing!
           You two are cuddling and squeezing each other. From a distance, both of you look like a kangaroo and its cub. Jason covers your entire body with a blanket because he's so worried that you will get cold, and it makes you look like a kangaroo cub in its mother's pouch.
           Jason glances at you in his arms, oh my. You look very attractive to him. No matter how tall you are, your figure will always be smaller than him, and it makes him want to always protect you. But if you happens to be taller than him, Jason would try to hug and protect you too. He doesn't care about your height, the only thing he cares about is the fact that you make him comfortable. You are willing to take care of him, even become his partner, what can he ask for more? You are truly a blessing for this man.
           He touches your shoulder with his index finger twice to get your attention back. You turn to him with a smile and raised an eyebrow.
           “Ma-ma?” said Jason, his voice almost a whisper that was barely audible in the rain. You look at him for a moment and blink twice. “You want to meet your mother?” you ask, and he nods. “Okay, let's visit Pamela. I miss her too!” you said, removing the blanket that wrapped your body and clutching Jason's index finger. You two walk towards the room where Jason keeps his mother's head.
           “Hi, Pamela. It’s Friday, and I miss you,” you said, before finally sitting next to Jason and facing Pamela's severed head. The two of you sit in quietness for a few moments.
           Jason rises from his seat first, then you follow him. You step out of the cabin to see if it's still raining or not. And as it turns out, the rain has stopped, leaving behind the smell of earth and grass, and also the cool air that you like. You took a deep breath as if you wanted to take in all the scent of nature. Your mood feels a lot better.
           It is half-past seven in the evening. Time flies so fast, but it doesn't matter because you spend it curled up comfortably in the blankets with Jason.
           You sit on the stairs of Jason's cabin porch and enjoy the sound of insects and frogs shouting to each other. It sounds like they’re having a mini-war. This place gives peace to your mind which has been a mess lately.            You hear a footstep approaching, and look back. Jason standing at the door and leaning himself against it. You greet him with a smile and reach out your hand to him, which he gladly takes and Jason places himself one ladder below you. His head rests on one of your knees, and he takes your hand and puts it on his chest.
           “I want to sing for you,” you say spontaneously, in a whisper. Jason turns to look at you, his thumb gently rubbing your palm. You smile and kiss his forehead. "But my voice is disgusting," you continue and laugh. Jason shakes his head quickly, and he gives you a thumbs up, encouraging you to sing for him. Jason always thinks that your voice sounds so lovely compared to his voice, which is barely there.
           “Okay, okay. I hope you like this song,” you said, clearing your throat before you start to sing.
 Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
             Your voice sounds so calming to his ears, accompanied by the singing of insects. You paused to kiss his head slightly, then continue your singing.
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words,
I love you
           Jason gives you a round of applause, you can see his eyes beams lightly from the big smile behind his mask. Jason rise from his seat then lifts you up in bridal style. You can only laugh out loud seeing him do that to you, and he looks very happy!
           You look at Jason and cupping his cheeks. Everything feels better with the two of you being there for each other. You kiss his mask one more time.
           “Happy Friday The 13th, my love.”

Note
Oh yes, this is still open! What kind of spouse are the org members?
Xemnas -
Can you say sugar daddy - but like not really. Xemnas takes his role as provider seriously, so you’ll want for nothing when he’s around.
Quiet nights and stimulating conversation. Arm chairs in front of the fireplace with wine in one hand and a book in the other, sitting in companionable silence. He is an overwhelming, encompassing guy, but he values his privacy and intimacy just as much as values being around you.
Basically your equal in all things so don’t act like you’re better than him and don’t look down on yourself because you’re worthy of his support and attention. He values your time and your intelligence - don’t make him regret it.
Xigbar -
That spouse who is always ready for an adventure, but he doesn’t need to be because everywhere you go with him is in adventure! A hike in a forest or biking in the mountains is just as exciting as a trip to the grocery store or a run to the fast-food drive-thru
Intimacy and sex are two different things, but sex is definitely a form of intimacy for him. He loves being with you in that way and OFTEN, but he makes it fun with laughter and jokes, you know?
Dirty rat man soft for sweet sunshine s/o who could probably murder him and he’d be like yeah thank you; basically he’s a sucker for a powerful partner
Xaldin -
Xaldin falls hard and he falls fast, so expect unwavering loyalty from him. If you care for him and love him and treat him well, he’ll be forever yours.
Giant bear husband standing in defense of his s/o at all times? Absolutely. He knows you can defend yourself and he loves WATCHING you defend yourself, but let him show off his muscles every once in a while so you can ogle him and let him feel a bit smug
Always exciting with him. He likes trying new things so you’re always doing something fun, but there are also days where he likes to just spend time with you at home. Even the most boring days can be fun when he’s around
Vexen -
An intelligent husband who will never leave you lacking in stimulating conversation. You are always learning something new and exciting when he’s around.
Shared science experiments together? Yes, please, let him teach you and guide your hand, it will be a great experience for both of you and you’ll probably end up teaching him a lot too, along the way
Also infuriating and unyielding, which will probably lead to some arguing on occasion, but rest assured that if you can prove him wrong with something? His already high attraction to you will go up like 80%
Lexaeus -
The opener of Jars and the killer of spiders and cockroaches, but also the guy who likes warm bubble baths and cuddling; a gentle giant through and through and no one can tell me otherwise
No qualms in doing household chores, but also likes doing chores with you because it feels like a bonding experience
Doesn’t talk much, but he is a GREAT listener. Will ask questions at appropriate times so you know he’s paying attention and will offer you advice when you need it.
Zexion -
He sometimes gets embarrassed about his own interests but don’t let that stop either of you from enjoying each other’s company or doing things together. He’s into some cool stuff so you don’t want to miss out.
He also likes learning about what you like and will go out of his way to explore and do research so he can spark new conversations! He’s a sweet boy who would be a sweet partner even though he’s inexperienced
He’ll get in moods sometimes so don’t be surprised about that; he’s an introvert so he likes being alone and company can be stifling at times, but don’t take it personally. You can both use some time to yourself so take advantage of it when you can!
Saix -
Saix is a lot like Xemnas in the sense that he likes being a provider. He enjoys knowing that you trust him enough to rely on him.
He’s very task-oriented. When the two of you plan out date nights, it’s on a schedule. When it’s time to work, it’s time to work. There will be time for goofing off later, so focus on the task at hand and enjoy what time you can get with him. Don’t be too offended if he brushes you off when you try to kiss him while he’s working - he doesn’t like leaving things unfinished, so just be patient and he’ll make it up to you
Business-man in the streets, wild animal in the sheets. Never leaves you unsatisfied and always willing to try something new, within reason.
Axel -
A playful partner that loves to see you smile. There will be no tears when you’re with Axel!!! Tears give him hives so he will do his best to try and make you laugh even if it means causing bodily harm to himself. He hates it when you’re sad.
Every day is fun! There aren’t any boring moments with Axel because his brain is always working on overdrive. It’s hard to keep up with him sometimes so there will absolutely be moments where you need to sit him down and tell him to chill out for a bit, but you can rest assured that your relationship with never be tedious
Being with him also means being with his friends - who are your friends, too! Friends are important to Axel and it’s important to him that you can hang out with Roxas and Xion when he does without it getting awkward. He’s happy to call you a friend, too, before he even refers to you as his ‘partner
Demyx -
Demyx is a gift giver, but it’s not like... huge extravagant gifts. It’s more along the lines of the idea that he just so happens to be at the market and he saw a hat that he thought you might like so he decided to get it for you for no reason other than the fact that it made him think of you
Duets? Absolutely. I feel like this pretty much goes without saying. He loves singing with you and enjoys hearing you belt out a tune when you’re in the shower or walking down the hallway or just playfully dancing with him in your bedroom
He can be an awkward bean when it comes to serious situations. He doesn’t like things to be too stern or serious because he doesn’t really know how to deal with it emotionally. He’ll suffer through it, but don’t be surprised if he tries to diffuse the tension by making a joke or something when you’re trying to talk about something important
Luxord -
the well-educated, refined husband with a wild streak. Luxord is like two different sides of the same coin. One one hand, he’s there if you need intelligent conversation, quiet mornings with cups of tea, curled up on the couch in front of the fire with old books. On the other hand, he can also absolutely be that husband who’s always up to something, naughty and mischievous and definitely knows more than he lets on.
He cares about you, so don’t worry. You’ll probably be in on his schemes, too, if not helping him create those schemes. He loves having you as a partner in crime.
The accent is also a plus, too, so you can brag to all your friends that your partner has a sexy accent
Marluxia -
Brings you flowers every day. You’ll wake up to large bouquets in front of your face and on the bathroom counter and don’t even get me STARTED on the amount of flowers you’ll receive on holidays and your birthday.
You want to be wined and dined and romanced? Marluxia is your best guy. He is always ready to pamper you and he’s always at like Level 100 with that shit, so be ready to be APPRECIATED IN ALL WAYS BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT
He smells nice, too tbh so he understands if you want to just curl up on top of him and press your face into his hair
Marluxia is a hopeless romantic. He makes every moment special, but make sure you take the time to romance him, too! Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Larxene -
A++ wife material, best wife ever and your equal in all things. she doesn’t want someone to protect her and she doesn’t want someone who will cower behind her. you’re partners, first and foremost
Doesn’t mind being the shoulder to cry on but is always ready to kick someone’s ass, too, so just let her know if you want to be comforted or if you’re looking for revenge because she’ll be standing right with you no matter what.
Has a healthy sex drive and is full on a top so be prepared to get your world rocked at all times. She’s so gorgeous and amazing that you can’t believe how lucky you are to even have the opportunity to be around her
Roxas - 
Not used to positive and healthy relationships in general so he may not do anything if you try to take advantage of him, but you can bet your ass that Xion and Axel are keeping a close eye to make sure that you’re treating him right because he treats you like royalty
He’s ready for whatever you want to do! Isn’t picky with activities, events, etc. He’s honestly just happy to be included in whatever you’re doing
That being said, he’s always so shocked that you want to spend time with him? Like sometimes you have to remind him “Roxas, we’re dating, I wouldn’t be with you if I didn’t want to spend time with you” and he’s just like :O
Xion -
the sweetest s/o you could ever have. She always puts your needs first even when she shouldn’t, so you’ll never have a problem if she has a say in it. She wants you to be happy and your happiness makes her happy!
BUT NO, she has to be happy too so you spend a lot of time helping her understand that she has every right to be happy and content and that she deserves to have good things in her life
lots of cuddles! lots of hugs and sweet kisses on the cheek or forehead or the nose. she’s shy about displays of affection, so you’ll be moving slow and steady, which isn’t a bad thing

It is Time to Kill The Common Understanding of the Dome of Las Noches Fight Once and for All
I’ve been thinking about @starrdustcrusader​‘s post making fun of BBS’s interpretation of Full Hollow Ichigo, and while it is very good and covers a lot, I felt that I had something further to add. Please go read that post first so you are on the same page.
I also invite you to go read chapter 350, The Lust 4, and the next few chapters as well.
Now, like I said, the post in question does a very good job of pointing out what’s happening here: Full Hollow Ichigo has less than zero concern for Uryuu or Orihime. He is not interested in protecting them whatsoever. Indeed, he directly attempts to kill Uryuu, with that attack being very likely to kill Orihime as well. It is only stopped by Ulquiorra’s intervention.
And why did Ichigo attack Uryuu? Because he was a threat.
When you are doing dispassionate threat analysis, whether that be tactical or strategic, when you are thinking with an essentially military mindset, motive stops really mattering, because it cannot be taken for granted. What matters is capability. What someone says their intentions are, or what their intentions seem to be, often matter less from this perspective than what they can do, or are doing.
What is Uryuu doing in this fight? He is interfering with Full Hollow Ichigo killing Ulquiorra. And that is Full Hollow Ichigo's only goal. Thus, Uryuu is an enemy and is also to be killed.
And so is Orihime (if “merely” as collateral damage).
It's that simple. This is again pointed out in the original post. In the same way that Ulquiorra earlier said to Ichigo that, "Killing you is synonymous with protecting Las Noches," killing Uryuu and Orihime at this point is synonymous with “protecting,” because they are in the way and are actively impeding the mission. (”Protecting” what? We’ll come back to that.)
I haven’t said anything new yet, now have I? So let’s get to that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is Orihime demonstrating several flavors of hubris, and also completing failing to do anything to save Uryuu from his imminent demise. What do I mean? Well, let’s take apart her statements:
“Because I said that, Kurosaki-kun is trying to help me.” This is an assumption on her part, and it is wrong.
“I trained because I didn’t want to be a burden to him.” Mind you, she also says this in both the Xcution and TYBW arcs, and is a burden and fails in both as well (the infamous ”Why am I crying?” and “Her shield didn’t work” moments). This should have been a learning moment for her and it was not.
“I came here because I wanted to protect him.” There are other meta posts that detail the selfishness of Orihime’s actions in Hueco Mundo and in general. I would also like to point out that this was also her exact same logic in going to Soul Society. She didn’t learn anything from that experience either.
“So why? Why at the very end did I depend on him?” A great question. One that she never truthfully owns up to, given (2). But there was a reason Kisuke told her to stay out of the war. You may recall Rukia's statement to Orihime in chapter 228, Don't Look Back, that "In a battle, the ones who get in the way are not the ones that lack power, but the ones that lack resolve." She went on to say "Of all the battles in Soul Society, no one was a burden to anyone else. Not Ichigo, nor Sado, nor Ishida, and neither were you, Inoue. If any of you were less than who you are, I wouldn't be where I am today." This was very charitable of Rukia, because Orihime's contribution to her rescue was negligible and was, to reiterate, not why she was even there. Furthermore, Orihime didn't listen to her here either: she is once again demonstrating a lack of resolve, as she will continue to.
So Orihime doesn’t learn. Great. But maybe you’re thinking about (1). What do I mean she was wrong? I mean, doesn’t the manga confirm she’s right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the crux of that argument. And this is also one of the cruxes of IchiHime as a whole. The thing is... it’s complete and utter bullshit.
This is the exact same scene in the original Japanese:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, I don’t speak or read Japanese very well at all. I’m still a novice at it. What I can do, however, is use optical character recognition and translation tools.
(よ)呼んでる - Yonderu - Calling
(よ)呼んでるんだ - Yonderunda - They’re calling
(き) 聞 こえる -  Kikoeru - I can hear
(た)立てよ - Tateyo - Stand up
(た)立 て - Tate - Stand
(おれ)俺が - Ore ga - I will
(おれ)俺が - Ore ga - I will
俺が護る - Ore ga mamoru - I will protect
(The parentheticals are furigana used as a pronunciation guide.)
Now do you see a single instance of “her” or “she” in this dialogue, particularly when it comes to the final line of “I will protect”? No, you don’t. Because it’s not there. It was never there until a biased translator inserted it into the dialogue. I’m not alone in this analysis, by the way.
Quite some time ago, @kodoku-no-maria​​ did a wonderful analysis about Ichigo’s instincts (”Mistranslations that Created the IH Fandom”) that also covered this (using anime quotes instead) and came to a similar conclusion. It’s a great post and you should read it. 
This isn’t the post she mentions in hers, but there is one done specifically of the manga by a deactivated account. You should read this post too. (This also notes other things, such as how Orihime says “Help, Kurosaki-kun!” and not “Help me, Kurosaki-kun!” so we can take it that the Mangastream / Mangareader English translation is just generally dodgy all around at this point. Which may well impact the points I made above about Orihime’s character; but I think given the events of the Xcution and TYBW arcs that it is evident she did not in fact learn anything, so I will stand by the basic thrust of them.)
Okay, so I’ve marshaled my evidence on the battle and provided corroborating analysis. (I have also reblogged all three of these posts because they’re good, although the links are to the original sources or as close to them as I could get.) 
Ichigo didn’t turn into Full Hollow Ichigo because of Orihime. She had nothing to really do with it. Great. So what?
Well, let’s now move on to my theory.
Now, you might be thinking that it is fairly obvious that all of those lines are Ichigo’s inner monologue. But I don’t think it’s so obvious. In fact, I would suggest to you that it is actually a dialogue.
On the second page, with the third panel, it suddenly zooms in to the wound in Ichigo’s torso. This notably later becomes Full Hollow Ichigo’s Hollow hole. You notice here the dialogue changes, from commands (e.g., “Stand”) to personal pronouns (e.g., “I”).
I would submit to you that the first three lines are Ichigo’s. But I don’t think the last five are. I think they belong to two other entities. Especially the last three. First, let me steal two of Maria’s highlighted panels to make a point:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So who is talking? It’s simple:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do you really think it’s a coincidence that Zangetsu (Hollow Zangetsu) shows up wearing the exact same outfit as ‘Full Hollow Ichigo’ after Tensa Zangetsu gives a speech about how:
Tumblr media
I don’t think so. Ichigo "fell into despair and halted [his] progress" and Zangetsu, as 'Full Hollow Ichigo' is "the "source of [his] despair." (This is the same despair that Rukia noticed when Ichigo came down from the top of the dome to confront Yammy.) As has been previously pointed out in the linked posts, we see this despair on the dome after Ulquiorra’s defeat in Ichigo’s attitude. Starrdust covered these, but let’s go over them again:
Tumblr media
He’s doesn’t seem all that shocked or concerned here, to be honest.
Tumblr media
He’s a lot more shocked at what he did to Uryuu.
Tumblr media
But the thing that really gets him is that he’s gone and killed Ulquiorra. That’s his despair.
This is the first time he’s out and out killed somebody. (And yeah, Ulquiorra is dead because he had his bits vaporized with a cero, not purified.)
He finally has to learn this isn’t all fun and games, that you can’t turn everyone to your side and redeem them and be friends with them afterward, as he did with Ikkaku, Renji, Kenpachi, Byakuya, and even to an extent Dordoni and Grimmjow. This is exactly what Dordoni was warning him about. This is the lesson he will be forced to learn again after weakening Aizen long enough for Kisuke’s kidou to work on him.
And it is why later, his determination to “save everyone” in the Xcution arc by cutting Ginjou down and killing him (even if he turns into a Plus as revealed in TYBW, undermining the whole symbolic importance of the act) is a big deal for his character development, and one of the few redeeming aspects of that arc: it shows that Ichigo learned a lesson from this fight: sometimes to protect you have to kill.
And who taught him that lesson? Zangetsu.
Who was speaking in the 4th and 5th lines in that transformation sequence? My bet is “Zangetsu” (Quincy Zangetsu) or Tensa Zangetsu. And who was speaking in the 6th, 7th, and 8th lines? Zangetsu.
What was Zangetsu protecting? Ichigo. That’s his instinct. That’s all he cares about protecting, just like Tensa Zangetsu. He sure the fuck wasn’t protecting Orihime or Uryuu. And the mask of ‘Full Hollow Ichigo’ is there to protect those instincts. And the mindless rage of ‘Full Hollow Ichigo’ is Zangetsu’s rage at Ulquiorra for trying to kill Ichigo.
We of course know from much later, in TYBW, that zanpakutou spirits aren’t some separate entity from the wielder, but are the wielder (hence why we go from “The Blade and Me” to “The Blade IS Me”) which Ichigo will affirm in the reforging of his into the “two Zangetsus.” So this can ultimately be read as self-preservation instinct. These are the aspects of Ichigo that were willing to do what he himself consciously wouldn’t in order to stay alive.
(Also, Uryuu was an idiot and wrong to stop Zangetsu as Ulquiorra still clearly constituted a threat, so he frankly got what he deserved, if a bit harshly.)
In summary, not only did the fight above the dome in Las Noches not have anything to do with protecting Orihime, but it was entirely about Ichigo’s character development and relations with the personifications of his powers, and everyone has been reading it completely fucking wrong for years and years.
If you don’t know, now you know.

Switching Places
Inspired by an ask I got a few nights ago! 
Summary: The sides get their roles swapped
Genre: Canon-verse
Rating: PG
Pairing(s): None
Word count: 3461
Warnings: Remus, Deceit, Sex mentions, cursing, dead animal mentions, fighting, light angst
Let me know if there’s any more I should add!
It was after three in the morning, and Thomas had been trying to sleep for hours, but it wasn't working. His mind seemed to be at war. So, he decided to do what he always did when that happened.
"Guys, we need to have a conversation!" Thomas shouted in his living room, and one by one the sides were summoned against their will, each one looking more disheveled than the last. 
"It's three in the morning, Thomas. Is something the matter?" Logan asked as he rose up. 
Patton rubbed his eyes and agreed. "Yeah, it is quite late, kiddo," 
"What could possibly be so important you needed to interrupt me in the middle of my beauty sleep, Thomas?" Roman snapped, sassily gesturing to his face when he said "beauty". 
"Don't think your beauty sleep is working," Virgil commented, annoyed by the whole situation but mostly how loud Roman was being. 
Deceit smirked from beside Logan. "I think it is," 
"Oh great, he's here," Virgil grumbled. "This night just keeps getting better,"
Logan blinked at Deceit. "I… didn't even notice his presence. I'm usually the first one to call out his name. Have I lost my touch?"
"Yeah, I called all of you," Thomas said and looked nervously over at the TV behind Roman.
"Oh no," Roman whispered. "We just got rid of him!" 
"Rid of me?" Remus laughed. "I'm not a dead pet, Roman. You can't just bury me in the backyard," 
"Dead pet?" Patton repeated with wide eyes.
Thomas sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Listen, guys. We need to talk and then I promise, I will go to bed," 
"Great. What can we assist you with, Thomas?" Logan asked.
"Well, you all seem to be… at each other tonight…" Thomas began, looking at each side.
Roman scoffed. "Whatever do you mean? We've been getting along just fine," 
"Oh, really?" Thomas asked, looking to Virgil for confirmation.
"That has… not been my experience," Virgil said, staring daggers at Deceit. 
Thomas quirked a brow. "Well, what's going on, Virge?" 
"Oh, they have a nickname for you now… how cute," Deceit faux complimented, smirking as if he had the upper hand due to Virgil's violent reactions.
Virgil rolled his eyes. "The only thing that's cute here is that you even think you're getting to me,"
"Am I not?" Deceit wondered, eyeing the anxious side as he angrily tapped his foot on the floor. 
"No," Virgil said firmly, while still tapping.
Thomas sighed in frustration. "Listen, guys! I just, need you to explain how this all started. Please,"
"He," Virgil gestured to Deceit, who waved sensually. "Won't stop randomly showing up in my room,"
Deceit faked hurt. "What? I can't visit an old friend?" 
"We are not friends," Virgil told him. "And even my friends aren't allowed in my room," 
Roman nodded. "It's true, we're not," 
Remus perked up. "Oh golly, some pretty kinky stuff must be happening in there… wanna give us all the juicy details?" 
"What is with you and the word juicy?" Thomas asked to which Remus just shrugged.
"I just like it, it paints a nice picture… like the picture of a-"
"Yes, a butthole. Got it," Thomas finished for him.
Remus laughed. "Wow, Thomas! You're learning. I'm so proud," 
Virgil defended himself. "No, Remus nothing… kinky is happening in there!" 
"That is exactly what someone who has a super-secret sex dungeon would say…"  Remus commented, wiggling around for emphasis. 
"Moving on. They aren't the only ones who aren't getting along," Logan announced.
"Do tell," Thomas said tiredly.
"Well, Roman and I have had our fair share of arguments recently," Logan explained, and everyone looked at him as if he had just told the funniest joke.
"You… are you really that un-self-aware?" Virgil asked him. 
"What do you mean?" Logan replied, quirking a brow.
Virgil groaned. "I mean, you guys are always fighting! It's not exactly breaking news," 
"The only reason we're arguing in the first place is because of his stupid punctuality planner! It has so little room for creativity," Roman whined, stomping his feet like an angry child. 
"You have an hour allotted that should be plenty of time," Logan replied dryly, ignoring the matter at hand.
Roman scowled. "An hour is not even long enough to get the ball rolling, but if you were creativity you would know that," 
"Ball rolling… like… testicles… taped to a bowling ball?" Remus yelled, and everyone made respective sounds of disgust. 
"No… not at all..  like that," Roman replied, moving further away from his brother. 
Patton frowned. 
"Patton? You've been rather quiet. How are you holding up?" Thomas asked his moral side, who managed to work up a smile. 
"Oh yeah! I'm doing just fine, Thomas," He said, with a cheerfulness that almost seemed eerie.
"Yeah, he's lying," Deceit stated blankly, looking at his fingers.
"Yeah… I knew that, but thanks," Thomas replied. 
"I- wasn't lying I just…" Patton started but stopped himself. 
"It's okay. You can tell me," Thomas told him, with a warm smile.
"Well… I just don't enjoy how… frequent, Remus has been talking about dead animals and such,"
Remus laughed. "Dead animals are funny though, Patton. There's this one picture Thomas saw where-" 
Thomas shook his head, covering his ears "No! No. Do not bring that up. Or I'll definitely not be getting to sleep tonight," 
"If you'd just tell him-" Remus pointed at Patton, “and him,” he pointed at Virgil. "-to relax, and stop being such prudes, then everything would be fine," 
"I am not a prude. I just don't like hearing that kind of stuff. Animals are so wonderful and I love them!" Patton yelled, shocking everyone. 
Remus giggled. "Oh no! Daddy's putting his foot down, everyone. What're you gonna do, huh? Spank me?" 
"Well maybe if you two would just leave, then we can call it a night," Virgil said, and the two dark sides looked genuinely hurt by his words, which Thomas was surprised by.
"I tend to agree, Virgil," Roman said and Virgil glared at him. "I just mean that… you're being a bit too p- uh, overly cautious," 
"Okay, you know what? You can leave too," Virgil sneered and Roman gasped at him, putting his hand to his chest.
"Okay, no. Guys, is there any way we can settle this for the night, without anybody leaving?" Thomas asked, looking to everyone for an idea.
Then after a moment of silence, Roman finally came up with a plan. 
"I have an idea," He declared abruptly.
Logan exhaled, tiredly adjusting his glasses. "Oh, do tell," 
Roman suddenly looked tense. "Well… you're not going to like it," 
"What is it, Roman?" Thomas pleaded.
"We could go into daydream mode and... switch roles, " Roman explained. "And then that would allow us to see from each other's point of view?"
"Switch roles? Is that even possible?" Thomas wondered. 
"Anything is possible in the mind palace Thomas," Roman bragged with a smile. "My job is pretty cool you know," 
"You're right. I do not like this," Logan informed.
Patton raised his hand as if he was in class "I'm willing to try. If it'll help," 
Virgil widened his eyes. "I'm not! Thomas this is a bad idea. A very bad idea," 
"Listen, I'm willing to try anything. I'm exhausted and you guys fighting is what is causing that. So if switching roles can help you put aside your differences and see from each other's points of view, then I'm all for it," Thomas announced. 
"It may work but I already have an idea of where this is going and I would rather go back to the old puppet idea," Logan said. 
"Oh, come on Logan. It might be fun!" Patton encouraged.
"Hmm. Would it be so fun for you if you got switched with one of them?" Virgil asked the "them" he was referencing was obvious to everyone, including the ones he meant. 
"Uh, well…" Patton trailed off nervously.
"I just proved my point," Virgil stated. "Let's just table this for another time," 
Thomas reached his limit. "You know what? That's it. Roman, I give you permission," 
"Really?" Roman asked. 
Thomas nodded. "Really. I just want to sleep at some point tonight," 
"Woo! Okay," Roman cheered. "Alright let me just…" 
Roman snapped and then they all appeared in the mind palace, which was currently blank. 
"One second…" Roman shut his eyes and then they all seemed to be back in Thomas' apartment.
"This… is just my apartment," Thomas said.
"Or is it?" Roman smirked.
"Wait, we're in the mind palace right now?" Thomas asked, looking around in awe at "his apartment" which looked exactly the same, but somehow slightly brighter.
Roman looked around, proud of his work. "Yup," 
"Wow, Roman, I'm so impressed," Deceit said, and he too was looking around but with less wonder and more judgment. 
Roman was touched by this. "Thank you," 
"Can we just get this over with," Virgil snapped, rubbing his temples. "I'm getting a migraine," 
"Alright if you insist," Roman sighed and shut his eyes. He then snapped his fingers and, it happened. 
At first, everyone was disoriented, but then it really set in.
Everyone was in the same places, but they had all switched roles, as well as colors. 
"Wow, I love this," Virgil said and was startled by his own voice, slapping his hand over his mouth. That wasn't his voice that was… Deceits. His hoodie was now covered in yellow patches rather than his usual purple, but he was glad he at least didn't change clothes. 
"Okay so, Virgil is now, Deceit. Cool," Thomas said, nervously eyeing Virgil who looked as if he was going to vomit. 
"Oh, oh no…" Logan said dramatically, looking at his shirt. "I knew it. I knew you would do this," 
It was red, which meant he had swapped with Roman.
Roman sighed. "Don't look so disappointed, Logan. This exercise will be highly effective in helping us better understand each other. You may as well try to participate with an open mind,"  
Thomas eyed them. "You guys sound like each other and I don't know why, but I wasn't expecting that," 
Roman all the sudden had glasses, and Logan's had disappeared. "Yes, well, we have swapped traits and it seems clear to me now that our traits have a lot to do with our mannerisms and speech patterns," 
"You stole my glasses you heathen!" Logan shouted, ignoring Roman’s previous statement.
“Indeed,” Roman said. “Wait a minute…”
Logan frowned dramatically. “I do not enjoy this one bit Roman, I am already cranky! Change me back!”
Roman adjusted his glasses as Logan would. “No, I don’t think I will,”
“I totally don’t want to change back,” Virgil whispered quietly, his tempest tongue in full effect.
Remus pouted, his clothes now blue instead of their usual green. “C’ mon Roman, it’s not very nice to make Logan and Virgil do this if they don’t want to,” 
“Oh no… oh- not-” Thomas realized Remus had switched with Patton which meant…
Patton sighed, knowing what Thomas was thinking. “Oh yes! I mean definitely no but also yes,” 
“Patton? How do you feel?” Thomas asked nervously, which caused Virgil to flip his hood over his head.
“Like a buttcheek on a stick,” Patton said and then he too covered his mouth. 
“Oh, that is not ideal,” Roman commented, eyeing Patton cautiously.
Logan scoffed. “Not ideal? None of this is ideal Roman!” 
“It’s not only my fault. Thomas gave me the go-ahead,” Roman reminded.
“Yeah uh, what the hell, Thomas?” Logan yelled. “How dare you do this to me! It’s not fair!”
Thomas backed up. “You guys are the ones keeping me up so if you could just learn whatever lesson you are supposed to be learning from this we can all go back to normal and I can go to sleep,”
“If Roman weren’t such a b*tch we wouldn’t be in this mess,” Logan defended himself, to which Roman just rolled his eyes.
“Look at you, Logan. You are usually so eloquent but now you cannot even form a good insult. It’s pathetic,” Roman’s words were full of malice and Logan’s eyes went big.
“This is why I didn’t want to do this! I have to be-”
“Taken seriously. We know! Now, we don’t care,” Roman stated. “You have proven time and time again that you are simply incompetent at your job, so maybe I should do both of our jobs,”
“That is not… at all the resolution you guys should be having right now,” Thomas commented, eyes darting back and forth between the two of them. “Play nice, please,”
“Play nice? Play nice? Did you hear what he just said to me?” Logan was upset, and the louder he got the more he sounded like Roman, which was a thing he had yet to notice.
“I don’t like this,” Deceit said, finally speaking. His voice was much lower and more similar to Virgil’s tone.
“Deceit! You’re here! And you’re-”
“Anxiety and I have no idea how Virgil does this. I’m not having a good time,” Deceit informed, fixing his hair to cover his face. 
“Well, I’m sure it’s not all bad,” Remus tried to reassure Virgil, as Patton would. “It must have its moments,”
“Oh yeah, it’s fantastic,” Virgil whispered again, still echoing. He now had Deceit’s cape instead of his hoodie, and his hoodie had appeared on Deceit instead.
“Well, maybe now you understand why it’s not okay to just drop into Virgil’s room whenever you feel like it,” Thomas suggested, to which Deceit nodded.
“Yeah if any of you randomly dropped into my room right now I would probably scream so uh, sorry, Virgil,” Deceit apologized to which Virgil just groaned.
“You aren’t talking much, Patton,” Remus said and Patton just looked down.
“I would rather not,” Patton murmured from underneath his hand. 
Remus shrugged. “Well, now you know how I feel,” 
“How you feel?” Thomas repeated.
“You always say the first thing that pops into your head,” Logan agreed.
Remus sighed. “Yeah because I can’t control it. Being quiet is like…”
“Pulling out your own teeth with a pair of needle-nose pliers,” Patton said. “It hurts,” Then his outfit shifted to be more like Remus’ and Remus’ started changing too.
“Exactly,” Remus nodded.
“I had no idea, Remus…” Roman said, dropping for a moment to feel a bit of guilt for how he had treated him. 
“It’s not like you ever asked,” Remus replied, pouting. 
“I’m not going to come over there and fight you if you don’t turn us back,” Virgil yelled at Roman. 
The more time they spent in each other's roles the more they were changing, and despite the fact that he was technically Deceit now, this was still just the mind palace, and he was still just anxiety, so all of this was affecting him… which meant it was affecting Thomas.
“Well, I am glad,” Roman said flatly and Virgil just wanted to rip his hair out.
“I really… want to stay like this forever!” Virgil yelled again, his face was full of rage and it did not match his words.
“Good, maybe you will,” Roman said and everyone stopped. Roman was not willing to give this up, he had a point to prove but why? No one was really sure, and they were all worried, but Logan was worried most. “You can’t be serious,” He said, but he knew there was a big chance he wasn’t joking. Especially considering he couldn’t really “joke” right now.
Roman remained stoic. “I am serious. I have the upper hand, here. None of you know how to end daydream mode except me, and I certainly will not divulge that information,”
“Why not?!” Logan screamed, and Virgil covered his ears, then noticed that Deceit did the same.
“Too loud, dude,” Deceit said, and Virgil looked offended. “That’s not my thing…”
“Because clearly none of you deserve your roles, and neither do I,” Roman was taking this all wrong, and Thomas was unsure how to fix it. “So, we may as well stay this way,”
Virgil was reaching his limit, still echoing fully. “Thomas isn’t anxious right now, and we definitely don’t need to find a way to stop this,”
“Oh… yeah. I didn’t even notice,” Thomas said, shaking. “Patton, Logan… You guys are creativity right now… you got any ideas on how to get us out of here?” He asked, which made Logan and Patton meet eyes.
Roman rolled his eyes. “Nice try but the mind palace won’t listen-”
Then Logan got an idea. “Patton? Snap at the same time as me on 3,” Logan instructed.
“Okay,” Patton replied, quietly.
“I wouldn’t do that-” Roman tried but it was no use.
“1...2...3!” Logan shouted and the two snapped at the same time, causing them to rise back up into Thomas’ real apartment in a big flash of light.
“Have we all returned back to normal?” Logan wondered, and began feeling around for his glasses, then when he found them he practically jumped from joy. Which caused the others to stare at him. “Ahem… pardon my outburst. Just glad to be back to my old self again,”
“It was really cute, Logan!” Patton squealed. 
Virgil sighed in relief, no longer echoing. “That was... horrible,”
“I loved it, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Deceit said.
“Well, I know that’s a lie,” Thomas said, and Virgil frowned. “It isn’t under his control half the time. I couldn’t tell the truth no matter how much I wanted to,” 
“It seems like that’s the case for Deceit and Remus, neither of them can really control how they talk,” Roman said, empathizing with the two a bit. 
Remus laughed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I like my job! It’s the tits!” 
Patton grimaced. “I’m sure it’s not… a…”
“A tit? Two tits?” Remus asked. “It’s more like five or six tits, sextupli-tits!” 
“Oh, a pun, that’s nice,” Patton was trying, and he lent a warm smile to Remus, who smiled back.
“You’re not half bad yourself, Daddy,” Remus replied with a wink before sinking down, and Patton waved goodbye to him. 
“I don’t want to leave too, I’m having a great time,” Deceit began sinking out.
“Hey! No more going in my room!” Virgil yelled, making sure Deceit was clear on that. 
“Alright. Fine,” Deceit conceded, and finally went back to wherever he came from.
“Roman… do you have anything to say to us?” Thomas asked, and Roman crossed his arms. 
“Nope,” Roman insisted. “I did nothing wrong,”
“You can’t really think that…” Virgil said and looked at him. “Can you?”
Roman shook his head. “Logan deserved it for not allowing me more room to express myself. It isn’t fair that in order for Thomas to have a productive lifestyle in his mind, he must abandon creativity. Creativity is a big part of who Thomas is! Without me- us… he wouldn’t be the Thomas we know and love,”
“I suppose you’re right, I’m sorry, Roman,” Logan said, genuinely feeling bad. Which was new for him.
“Did… did you just apologize… to me?” Roman asked, dumbfounded.
Logan fixed his tie. “I did indeed. Regardless of how you handled it, I wasn’t being fair to you and I ignored how you feel. For that, I am sorry,” 
“This is so cute! We’re all getting along!” Patton cheered.
Virgil rolled his eyes with a smirk before sinking out. “Yeah… I’m gonna go back to my room now and think up more ways to stop Thomas from going outside, later,” 
“What a productive evening! It’s already 4:30!” Patton exclaimed and sunk out.
“Yeah… that’s what night time is for… not sleeping,” Thomas commented sarcastically.
“Go to bed, Thomas,” Logan said, then sunk out.
“Yes, do try to get some rest… and Thomas?” Roman began.
“Yeah, Roman?” Thomas replied.
“I’m sorry,” Roman said, with a sad smile.
Thomas smiled. “It’s.. alright Roman. It all worked out… I think,”
“Me too,” Roman said before finally sinking out, leaving Thomas to go and get some use of was left of the night. 
Bonus, End Card!
Remus rose up in Virgil’s room. “Virgil! Where are you hiding the sex dungeon!”
Virgil hissed. “There is no dungeon, there’s nothing kinky... just lots of cobwebs!” He yelled. “Get out!”
“How do I know you’re not lying?” Remus asked and looked around for Deceit.
“I’m not! He would be here if I were and you know it,” Virgil reminded.
Remus frowned from disappointment “Alright… fine, but if you’re holding out on me-”
Virgil scoffed. “I’m not. Goodbye, Remus,” He then waved sassily signaling the creative side to leave.
Remus smirked and waved back as he sunk down. “Fair well, Virgil. See you soon,” 
Authors note: I know Patton didn’t say a whole lot in Remus’ role but I found that hard to write! Apologies!

Preschool Blues
“Papa, do I really have to go to school?” Luca asks in a small soft voice. “Can’t I stay here with you and Dada?”
It's their son's first day at school and Carlos and TK have to reassure him it's going to be okay.
* Written for Lone Star Week Day 5 - Back to the Future
Carlos is in the kitchen working on breakfast – animal shape waffles and fruit – for the big day. He can hear TK and Luca in their little boy’s bedroom down the hall. He smiles as he bites into an elephant waffle when he hears his son let out a shrieking laugh, followed by running. Coming out of the kitchen, he walks into the living room just in time to witness the commotion first hand.
“Luca, you need to put on clothes!” he hears TK exclaim.
It’s followed swiftly by a loud ‘No clothes’ proclamation from their four-year-old.
Luca runs into the living room; luckily, he doesn’t notice him yet in his effort to escape his dad trying to dress him. He lets out a surprised yelp when Carlos comes up behind him, swooping him up in his arms before he runs any further.
“Papa!” he lets out in a loud voice, still too small to always remember inside voices.
“Good morning, mi corazon,” Carlos greets him, juggling him in his arms he smiles when Luca lets out an excited laugh as he clings to him. He gives his son a loud kiss on the cheek, blowing a raspberry into his neck that makes Luca shriek again, squirming around as it tickles him.  “Are you being difficult for Dada?”
TK bursts into the room with a small denim blue button shirt clutched in his hand. He’s breathing heavy, and Carlos is amused by the fact that a healthy, energetic firefighter who goes into burning buildings and carries adults on his shoulders all the time can get winded from running around after a four-year-old boy.
“How’s it going?” Carlos asks sarcastically, grinning when TK shoots him a dirty look.
“Your son doesn’t want to wear a shirt on his first day of preschool,” TK complains, walking towards them with his hands on his hips. “I blame you for this.”
Carlos looks at Luca in his arms, sharing a smile with the little boy who seems very proud of himself as he rests comfortably on Carlos’ hip. He turns back at his husband with a raised eyebrow. “My fault? How do you figure?”
TK waves his hand at him, giving his naked chest a pointed look. “Who else did he learn to be an exhibitionist from, hmm?
“You’ve never complained before,” Carlos answers, his voice a pitch lower, smirking when TK reacts instantly, his bright green eyes turning a shade darker. “In fact, I distinctly remember you not complaining about my state of undress just last night, Tyler Kennedy.”
TK’s eyes widen at the comment, and Carlos has to bite his lip to keep from laughing at the blush that spreads over his husband’s handsome face. “Carlos Reyes,” he hisses at him. “No, S-E-X-Y talk in front of our child!”
Carlos lets out a loud laugh that is echoed by Luca even though the little boy has no clue what they’re talking about, his father’s amusement is enough to make the boy happy.
“Ugh, I don’t have one kid, I have two,” he grumbles, his face still a pretty pink. He pushes the shirt he’s holding into Carlos’ hand. “Here, you get the privilege of dressing our son. I’ll go finish the waffles.”
“Monkey waffles!” Luca exclaims. “I want the monkey waffles, Dada.”
TK turns to Luca, giving him a serious look. “Let Papa help you with your shirt and stay still while he combs your hair, and you can have monkey waffles and bananas, okay?”
Luca seems to consider the deal for a moment, he looks at the shirt in Carlos’ hand with a small frown and then back at TK. In the end, his stomach wins out over his dislike of shirts, and he gives TK a reluctant nod. “Two monkey waffles, bananas, and chips,” Luca bargains, asking for chocolate chips on top of his breakfast.
Carlos watches, laughing on the inside as his husband and child lock eyes in a battle of wills, he bites down on his lip again when TK lets out a sigh, giving Luca a nod.
“Fine, a spoonful of chocolate chips, but Luca, I want you dressed and nicely combed,” TK warns their son. “We don’t have much time before you have to be at school, and we’re not going to be late on your first day. Okay?”
Luca nods, giving his dad a bright smile that makes TK soften immediately.
“You always get your way, little man,” TK says, leaning in to kiss Luca on the cheek, he kisses Carlos too on the corner of his mouth before heading to the kitchen.
“Come on, let's finish getting you dressed and shining like a brand new penny,” he says, smiling at his boy.
With Luca still in his arms, he heads for the bathroom. He places him on the counter and starts to work on the buttons of the shirt.
“Papa, do I really have to go to school?” Luca asks in a small soft voice. “Can’t I stay here with you and Dada?”
Carlos stops what he’s doing to look at his son, finding his big brown eyes looking at him anxiously. “Are you scared, Nene? Is that why you don’t want to put on a shirt?”
Luca gives him a little shrug, his naked shoulders lifting to his ears.
Carlos puts two fingers under Luca’s chin tipping it upward as he bends at the knee to catch his eyes. “What are you worried about, sweetheart. Talk to me.”
Luca looks away from him for a moment; his small hands grip his pants nervously. Picking at his clothes is such a TK trait, and Carlos feels his heart twist, he doesn’t like to see either of his loves anxious.
“Will you and Dada be here when I come home?” Luca asks. His voice almost a whisper, and if Carlos’ heart twisted before, it almost breaks now at the question.
“Of course,” he rushes to reassure Luca. “Nene, you know that going to school doesn’t mean me or dad are going away or that we’re sending you away, right?”
Luca doesn’t answer, and Carlos feels awful, he’s not sure where he and TK went wrong in explaining school that their son got a false impression of what was happening.
“Luca, school is important,” he starts softly, hoping his tone calms his son’s worries as much as his words. “And yes, you do need to go, everyone goes to school when they’re little like you. It’s so you can learn your numbers and letters.”
“Papa, I know them!” Luca interrupts, making Carlos smile, some of the ache in his chest loosening with Luca’s proud declaration.  
Luca does know his numbers and letters, in English and Spanish. He and TK are ridiculously proud of how advanced Luca already is.
“I know, Nene,” he says kindly, running his hand over Luca’s soft curls. “But there are other things you need to learn that can only happen in school, and it’s not just learning, you get to play games, color, and make new friends. School is great, Luca, and I know you’re going to love it.”
Luca doesn’t say anything; instead, he just bites down on his bottom lip uncertain.
“But more importantly, Luca, no matter what happens at school, today, tomorrow or a week from now. When school is done for the day, you’ll come home to dad and me, always.”
He watches as Luca bites down on his lip a little harder, but it doesn’t hide the way it trembles slightly. “You promise?”
Carlos hesitates for a second; he knows that deep down it’s not a promise he should make, he’s a police officer, and TK is a firefighter, there could very well come a day when one of them doesn’t come home. But he also knows that he and TK will do everything in their power to make sure Luca doesn’t have to experience that. “I promise, baby.”
Luca gives him a look of complete faith that humbles him before he makes grabby hands. He pulls him into his arms, lifting him off the counter as he holds him in a tight hug. “I promise,” he whispers again, feeling his eyes sting when he hears Luca sniffle into his shoulder.
Carlos continues to hug his little boy, probably needing it more than Luca at this point.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
Carlos turns with Luca in his arms to find TK standing at the door, looking at them with a worried frown.
“Luca had a concerned about preschool,” Carlos starts, hesitating for a moment. He knows what he’s about to say will cause TK distress no matter what. “He was worried going to school meant we wouldn’t be here anymore when he’s done with the day.”
TK makes a wounded noise, his eyes going wide as he takes a step forward.
“But I explained to him that we aren’t going anywhere,” Carlos continues quickly, hating the look on his husband’s face. “He understands that neither of us is leaving him. Isn’t that right, Luca?”
Luca lifts his head from his shoulder, turning to look at TK, and Carlos hates that he can see his eyelashes are a little wet.
“Papa promised,” Luca says softly. “You promise too, Dada?”
“Oh sweetheart,” TK breathes out softly, coming forward to press himself on the other side of Luca, holding him close between them. “Of course I promise,” he continues, rubbing his hand up and down Luca’s back. “You’re our boy, our whole world. We’re not leaving you, that’s not what school is about at all. I’m sorry if we did something to make you think that, so sorry.”
Luca goes from Carlos’ arms to TK’s, and Carlos watches as his husband clings to their son as firmly as he did.
TK pulls back to look at Luca, wiping his face with his hand. “Are you okay? Do you have any other concerns you want to tell us?”
Luca shakes his head, his expression more relaxed than before. A small smile appearing on his face when TK kisses his forehead.
“We love you, Luca. You know that, right, sweetheart?”
“Love you too, Dada,” Luca answers TK before turning over to him. “Love you, Papa.”
“I love you, mi corazon, hoy y siempre,” he tells Luca, swallowing around the lump in his throat at the sweet smile Luca gives them.
“Can we finish getting you ready, baby?” TK asks softly, letting out an exhale when Luca calmly gives them a nod. “Good,” TK continues with a smile as they help Luca into his shirt, wash his face, and quickly get his curls under control. “The monkey waffles are done and on the table.”
“Chocolate chips and bananas?” Luca asks excitedly as he remembers.
“I did promise, didn’t I,” TK answers getting a happy woo out of Luca. “Why don’t you go to the table, it’s all cut up, and we’ll be there in a second. Okay, bud?”
Luca gives TK another nod, already racing for the kitchen, the worries and tears of a few minutes forgotten, at least by him. Carlos watches as TK holds it together until Luca is out of the room before he starts to shake. He has his arms around his husband before the first tear rolls down his face.
“How did we miss that?” TK questions, his words slightly muffled by the way he presses his face into Carlos’ neck, much like the way Luca had moments ago.
“TK – “ Carlos whispers his name helplessly, rubbing his back to try and soothe him.
“I should have picked up on it,” TK says desperately. “His social worker and the therapist told us to prepare for separation anxiety when we adopted him.”
“And that was almost two years ago, Ty,” Carlos argues, he’s not going to let TK blame himself for this. “He’s been doing so well; he’s a happy little boy. Please don’t blame yourself.”
“But –“
“No,” Carlos cuts him off firmly. “He had a concern, and he expressed himself, he told one of us what was bothering him, and we reassured him. He’s eating his waffles, and he’s fine. We’ll take him to school, we’ll reassure him again, and he’s going to have a good day. He’s okay, Tyler.”
TK looks up at him with those big green eyes of his; they’re a different color from their son’s brown eyes, but they hit Carlos square in the gut all the same.
“Are you sure?” TK can’t help but ask, concern still shading his expression.
“I’m sure,” Carlos promises, he leans in and presses a kiss to TK’s temple. “He knows he’s loved; you made sure of that.”
“You did,” TK argues, and Carlos can’t help but smile.
“We both did,” he concedes, getting a smile back from TK.
TK cuddles into his frame again, causing Carlos to chuckle gently as he hugs him close. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” Carlos murmurs into TK’s hairline, he holds him until they hear Luca call out, telling them he’s going to eat all the monkeys.
“Come on,” he says, pulling back to share another smile with the man he loves. “Let's go before our kid leaves us without breakfast. I don’t know how someone so tiny can pack so much away.”
TK laughs softly, his shoulders finally relaxing as they make their way into the kitchen. They find Luca with a mouthful of waffles, smiling happily when he sees them.
“Are they good, baby?” he asks as he takes a seat next to him. Luca nods.
“And are you ready for an excellent first day of school, Nene?” Carlos questions, he watches as TK holds his breath as they wait for their son to answer.
“We’ll be here waiting for you to come home and tell us all about it,” TK adds on when Luca hesitates.
Luca looks at both of them for a moment before letting out a small brave smile. The trusting look on his face once again humbling Carlos, and he knows TK feels the same. “Yeah, I’m ready.”
