#literally the best game ive played in a while

[lucabyte]

even dogs pass the mirror test

[thegreatyin]

How did you manage to handle not one, but FOUR separate accounts in fl? I recently made the account for my HD little guy but having to do the tutorial again just seems miserable

there's... weirdly several answers to that question, actually??

a HUGE part of it is due to the way FL is structured. the 10-minute action timer is a core part of the game on a fundamental level, and the fact that i can very easily run out of stuff to do on one character and thus have an excuse to quickly and easily swap to another is just... convenient? satisfying? i'm not entirely sure how to explain it. the fact that i can make progress even while i am fundamentally simultaneously Not Making Progress is like pure dopamine for my freak insane awful little brain. there's just something really pleasing about spending all of my actions pursuing The Goal Of The Day™ on one account before casually swapping to another and doing the same without feeling like i'm wasting time or acting to the first account's explicit detriment. the downtime helps! the recharge time helps! the structure really really works!!

i'm technically only actively playing three, maybe two accounts minimum. the only reason the fourth (the one that'll be my future BaL playthrough) currently exists at all is so i can get his earlygame completely out of the way now and not have to waste time running through it all later, when what i actually want to do is play the ambition i've made myself wait a full year to play. and also getting free goodies as seasonal stuff happens,, something something surprise tools to help us later. the only two accounts i'd say i'm really "actively playing" at the moment are caeru and lark- and of the two, lark takes the most priority, since his ambition is the one i'm currently pursuing in earnest. for a couple months now- despite being My Main FL Character- the scoundrel has actually been pretty inactive on a gameplay front outside of the occasional progression in TLC and discordance content. purely by virtue of having Very little left to do outside of Very long-term grinds and vanities. they're in their "now what?" "now you can start playing the game" era. they've graduated to previous protagonist background cameo in a sequel anime series. they're like the yin FLPC equivalent of red at the top of mount silver. they're Literally just vibing rn. i only keep posting about them regardless because i'm insane and i will never ever ever ever ever let that bat go. but yeah, big TLDR, outside of doing the bare minimum to keep making waves/notability up every week, i'm not actually spending that much time on accounts i'm not currently actively interested in playing. and that accounts for way more gaming spoons than you might think.

i have a virtually lifelong history of playing MMOs, especially and specifically world of warcraft. i was born in the endless grind for useless video game pixel vanities and/or bragging rights. molded by it. you all have merely adapted to doing the same piece of content a pointlessly excessive amount of times for literally no reason besides whimsy and folly. me? i've done my time. i've served my sentence. i've spent weeks doing the original burning crusade netherwing dailies. i've devoted days to running praetorium over and over and over again, back-to-back, nonstop, long before square enix cut it in half and made it NOT take at minimum an hour and a half per run. i've perfected my silverwastes + auric basin goldfarming strategies. i've (almost) crafted dragonwrath tarecgosa's rest. i've killed the sha of anger so many times its dying scream of agony is embedded into the very fabric of my being. ""only"" doing making your name content four times over? that is nothing to me. it means nothing to me. it is so infinitesimal i can do the persuasive seduction quests in my sleep. it's not a matter of handling misery, or having the capacity, or even sighing as i remember the brass embassy raid segment of the watchful questline seriously i don't know why i keep forgetting that exists or what even is my problem with it i just am so consistently mildly inconvenienced by it and its highly specific resource requirements and it is the worst thing ever. maybe i'm just so used to the scoundrel's near-infinite money and troves of disposable items that i've completely forgotten what being poor is like. despite having done that step 3 fucking times now. ahem. anyway. i have transcended the feeble mortal bindings of my resistant-to-grinding flesh and ascended to a higher plane of enlightenment, they may call me insane but they will be the ones left laughing when they see what that "insanity" has wrought, i've usurped them, i've usurped them all-

hacks and coughs and awkwardly clears my throat. i mean. uh. um. Ahem.

the empress' court artistry + tales of the university nerfs helped too.

OMG ANOTHWR CARATINY!! I’m absolutely loving catching up with ur page every week, and thank you for taking my requests!! (The scoups fix was one of them lol)

Another thing I’ve been thinking about is the little ways 14th member might look out for the others, like always bringing extra food for Vernon or secretly setting reminders to stretch while producing for Woozi. Just the small things😊😊

-⭐️anon (imma use this cause im always in ur inbox LMAO)

AHHH CARATINYS UNITE 🫶 welcome to the club ⭐️ anon ^^ thank you for your requests !! i love to see it hehe — ive thought of a few headcanons for the little things oc would do, literal pure fluff argh

-- ★*☆♪

“Have you eaten?” You asked casually, sliding into the van beside Vernon. The early morning schedules made everyone a little sluggish, a little forgetful.

He blinked at you through his beanie, earbuds still in. “Huh? No, not yet.”

“Thought so.” You reached into your bag to pull out a small paper bag, handing it to him without much thought. Inside? A toasted egg sandwich, lightly buttered, with just the right amount of pepper and cheese. Vernon’s eyes lit up.

“Wait— is this—”

“Yeah,” you interrupted, pretending to scroll on your phone. “The one you always eye from Mingyu’s stash. Figured I’d save you the guilt.”

He chuckled, already unwrapping it, cheeks pink. “You’re my lifesaver.”

“Yeah, yeah. Pay me back by not eating anyone else’s lunch today.” Your lips curled up a little.

.

Everyone knew once Woozi was in the studio, time stopped existing for him. Meals? Irrelevant. Moving? Nonexistent. Breathing properly? Questionable.

So, you set up a quiet system.

You’d text him every few hours.

“Stand up. Stretch. I mean it.”

If he didn’t reply in 10 minutes, you’d call.

And if he still ignored it? You’d bribe Dino into barging into the studio with a protein shake in one hand and a reminder in the other.

Once, when you stopped by before your schedule to quietly drop off a bento box at the studio, you noticed it was still sitting cold when you came back four hours later.

You sighed, finding Woozi in the same position, one leg curled under him, back hunched, staring at his monitor.

Without a word, you gently placed your hand on his back, and whispered, “You’re going to destroy your spine.”

“I was almost done with this part,” he mumbled, not even looking.

You placed the bento beside his keyboard. “Eat. Even if it’s just a few bites. And I’m setting another alarm on your phone to remind you to stretch in an hour.”

You bent over slightly and tapped the corner of his phone screen. “Don’t even think about snoozing it, I have eyes everywhere.”

Woozi groaned, but muttered a thank you under his breath, already peeling open the lid. His smile was small - but real.

.

“Does anyone know my shoe size?” Hoshi’s voice rang out from his room, voice loud enough to travel through his closed door.

Mingyu looked at you from the other side of the couch, eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he screamed back: “Why are you asking us? Aren’t they your own feet??”

The door opened, Hoshi’s head peeking out.

“It’s 270, Hoshi.” You muttered lazily, eyes only leaving your phone once to the man.

He grinned. “You're the best!” You felt Mingyu's feet nudge yours, his jaw dropped in shock.

.

You squinted at your screen, looking at how the group chat message stayed at a ‘12’ instead of the usual ‘13’.

A swipe of your finger brought you right to Seungcheol’s profile, pressing the dial button directly.

It rang thrice. Then:

“Hello?”

“Choi Seungcheol-ssi,” you spoke sweetly. “You’ve been online playing games for three hours. Get up. Drink water. Maybe move your limbs a little?”

There was a beat of silence. Then, “Don‘t call me that! And…how did you know I was playing?”

“Because I texted Wonwoo and he’s in your party.”

“Traitor,” Seungcheol grumbled.

You rolled your eyes. “Look, I’m not saying you’re old. But if you don’t stretch now, your back is going to sound like bubble wrap tomorrow.”

“I am stretching,” he insisted. “See?” A vague groan in the background followed.

You smiled. “Okay, whatever you say Cheol-ie. I’ll call back in an hour.”

.

Wonwoo’s phone buzzed on the nightstand.

💫: “Get out of bed, stretch, and get some air. You haven’t moved all day, have you?”

Wonwoo huffed out a laugh under his breath, thumbs flying across the screen.

🐈‍⬛: “Did you install security cameras in my room?”

💫: “Nope. I’m worse than that. I care and I nag.”

He grinned at that, tossing his blanket off and dragging himself up with a long sigh.

Could you write a bailey's sister! Make out with benj nielsen?

°⋆｡right in front of you

​🇧​​🇪​​🇳​​🇯​ ​🇳​​🇮​​🇪​​🇱​​🇸​​🇪​​🇳​

✦ synopsis: in which benj realizes the right girl has been right in front of him all along

⟡ content warnings: none just fluff!

✦ word count: 1223

✮⋆ a/n: sorry this took me so long ive been busy w school 😭😭 also idk if this is what u had in mind. If not, feel free to drop another request w more details!! ⋆✮

p.2

You hate your sister for a lot of things: the fact that she doesn't let you wear her make-up, or her clothes, the fact that she's embarrassed to be seen with you, the fact that she still calls you her "baby sister" even though you're 15 now and only a year younger than her anyway, the fact that Benj has been in love with her for years even though she has this weird push and pull thing with him where she treats him like shit but then acts like she likes him when she doesn't actually give two shots about her him and just like the attention all the while you've always been right there.

One thing you don't hate about her, though, is the fact that she drops you off at the Nielsens' when she picks Alyssa up to hang out because it comes with a perk—you get to spend the day with Benj.

You've been best friends your entire lives because while your sisters were casting you off to the side, you were hanging out with each other.

And still, the idiot has heart eyes for the one sister who doesn't look his way, when all you've ever done is see him.

Your sister is a stupid jerk, you're sure of it, a damn toxic bitch, too—pulling the sweetest boy you've ever known along for the flattery then tossing him away when she's bored, or finds someone else, or simply when they're at school because she's embarrassed to be seen around Freshmen when she's literally just a Sophmore.

Sisterly love and all that—but that doesn't mean you have to like her.

It's getting to you now, like it always does, and it's bubbling up, up, up, 'till it just comes out—

Saturday afternoon. Rainy. Cold. You're laying on Benj's bed, staring at the ceiling, legs draped over the edge. You're wearing one of his sweaters. You listen to the sound of the rain tapping against the window, the glass cold to the touch.

He's sitting next to you, so close you can feel his body heat, and the mattress dips under your head whenever he bounces his thigh. He has his lower lip between his teeth, muttering little swears. Hands grip the controller, eyes trained on the shooter game displayed on the T.V. in front of him.

He groans and mutters a soft "Fuck." as he loses, tipping back a little.

You just can't take it. You really, really can't—

"Hey, Benj?"

He pulls one side of his head seat away from his ear. "Hmm?" he hums, looking down at you.

"Why do you like my sister?"

His face flushes—not because you're not supposed to know. He knows you know; he told you himself. You still remember the day: 4th grade, when he'd started chasing frogs. His face was red from running around when he met you under the slide at recess. Bailey and Alyssa were on the seesaw. He'd leaned over and said, "I like someone." You got excited because you thought it might be you. And then he said it was your sister. Your relationship with her has been strained ever since.

No, he just didn't expect it. You can tell because he's choking on air when normally he loves talking about Bailey.

He coughs one more time to clear his throat. "What?" he asks, strained.

You sit up to be eye-level with him and play with the sleeves of his hoodie you're wearing. It even smells like him—shampoo and lotion and vanilla.

"Bailey. Why do you like her? She's a bitch."

"Oh, come on," he says, and there's an amused glint in his eyes. He knows you and your sister don't get along. He and Alyssa don't get along very well, either. "I know o don't have the best relationship with my own sister, either, but don't you think you're being a little mean?"

"Benj, seriously." You're sounding upset now.

He was going to start a new game—but he stops short hearing your curt tone. He puts his controller down and hooks his headset around his neck. "Y/N, what's going on?"

You take a shaky intake of breath, feeling tears start to prick at your eyes—and your jaw start to set the more you think about your sister. "How do you like Bailey? She doesn't even like you. Hell, she's embarrassed by you!" you exclaim, throwing your hands around.

His face furrows with confusion, then intense with a flicker of pain. He slumos back. "You're being mean," he says softly, defeated. You hate seeing him defeated. He's too nice to look defeated.

You chew on the inside of your cheek hard to fight off how queasy you feel. "I'm not trying to be mean, Benj. I just don't think you should waste your time on her." When I'm right here.

When I actually appreciate you.

When I actually love you.

Even with that sad, puppy dog face, he still has a little awestruck glow in his eyes. "Because she just . . ." He sighs dreamily. "She's great, you know? She's pretty, and funny, and—"

You've taken this for years now. You can't. Not today.

You kiss him.

It's mindless, really. Your body leans forward of it's own accord, driven by the way you yearn for him.

His eyes widen and he just freezes, holding his hands up like he's scared to move. When it ends, and you look at him like you're a little shocked by your own actions, it hits him: he's fucking in love with you.

Sure, there's always been that Baily infatuation—but that was always the chase of the unattainable thing. It's easier to want someone you know you'll never have a chance with because then when you're rejected you don't have to confront the forever-hungry fear that maybe you're unlovable. It was never real.

But you? Oh, you . . .

You've always been real.

"Benj—" you go to say when he grabs you by the elbow and pull you into a bruising kiss. There's no hesitation this time, no freezing up. You flow right into it, melt under him as he shuffles, hand on the small of your back as he guides you to lay down. Your lips move against his like they have a mind of their own. The kiss is messy and unexperienced and it doesn't matter because it's good and it's Benj.

God, nothing has ever felt so natural.

You fist his shirt and pull his body against yours. He's half against you, holding himself up with his forearm next to your head, that hand absentmindedly playing with your hair, the other hand grabbing your waist and shifting you in time with his shifts under him and all you can think is hands, hands, hands.

Benj's hands.

Hot hands.

Hand placement.

That hand slipping under your (his) sweater to hold your bare skin.

He lets out a little desperate sound before pulling away, panting and eyes glazed over. You're panting too, loosening your grip on his shirt to press your hands flat on his chest.

Benj blinks, wets his lips. "I really have been wasting my time with Bailey," he quips breathlessly.

❥HOW WE LOVE IV

pairing: various x reader (ambessa, sevika, viktor)

rating: giving/receiving love languages headcanons

a/n: hi everyone, so sorry this took forever!! my mental health hasn't been in the best shape lately but i wanted to get this out for you all asap, so here it is!!

SEVIKA

giving:

sevika is quite literally a softie under all the walls that Zaun has caused her to build up around herself

i think she'd give her lover acts of service the most with a side of words of affirmation, but let me cook

we see in the show that her doing things for people (especially silco) is like second nature to her, so i think that would be the more outward and first way she'd express her love

it doesn't really matter what the task is either, you don't even really need to ask her to do it either, she just does it.

she usually keeps a very watchful eye over you, often not letting you out her sight if she doesn't have to

she makes it a point to remember what you need at certain points, remembering every scenario in which you showed how you feel to her and making sure she responds accordingly

after her walls slowly let down with how much time she spent around you, she'd let out small instances of the soft nature she holds inside her

she's a sucker for making sure you know exactly what she thinks of you, especially when she knows you need it

she makes sure she lets you know that she cares for you deeply, even going so far as to tell you why she cares for you and what she loves most about you

i think it would take her a while to fully open up to her lover, but once she does, she's sure that it'll be only you that she ever does it to.

receiving:

sevika is so used to doing things for other people, she rarely does anything for herself or has anyone doing things for her

with how she reacted when jinx made her an arm, i think she rarely has ever had someone do something significant for her, or even just something in general

i think she'd really appreciate it if you did things for her, but i don't think she'd know how to react at first

she's well aware of doing things simply because someone asks you to do it, but if you did something for her that she didn't even ask for? she's already seeing you in a different light than before

it could be something as simple as bringing her a lighter when she misplaced her own, or even using your own to light whatever she's smoking and she would silently appreciate it a lot more than she thought she would

i think quality time would be a big one for her, especially since half of her time was spent doing favors for silco or handling whatever dirty business he needed handled

it doesn't have to necessarily be romantic either, although, i don't think she'd be opposed to that either

it could really be just sitting together in the last drop while she's actually on "break" playing card games or just having a drink together, just being around you makes her day better

i can see physical touch being something she likes as well, although i don't really see her doing much of pda, only because she'd rather not have you possibly be endangered because she has her hands all over you

VIKTOR

giving:

i feel like viktor would give his partner a lot of praise, even on things considered "minuscule"

think about it, to him, an accomplishment IS an accomplishment, no matter how small it may seem

now, do i think he'd be massive about it? no. but i DO think he'd let you know whether through his words (or actions) that he does recognize every accomplishment

words of affirmation doesn't just have to do with accomplishments for him, i think he'd give subtle compliments as well

now, there are two ways i can see him going about this. one, he GENUINELY gives subtle compliments and doesn't entirely gauge your response in the moment. or..he does compliment you on purpose to see your reaction, only doing it subtly to dodge any accusations of doing it on purpose (he totally finds it hilarious)

viktor just screams observant to me, not JUST observant but he somehow notices every little detail in my mind

new haircut? he's the first to say something. new perfume or cologne? he mentions it as soon as you step into the room, you don't even have to BE next to him.

receiving:

i think viktor is a simple man receiving wise, but him loving acts of service and words of affirmation

side note, to any artists who draw viktor drinking coffee straight from the coffee pot, i LOVE you

no, but seriously, i could see him adoring when you bring him food or water/coffee whenever he's holed up in his lab

i think it brings him a sense of comfort knowing you'll care for him even when he's basically drowning in his work (and his own genius)

even if it's a bit strange to him in the beginning, he warms up to it once he realizes how much better he feels both mentally and physically once he actually eats/drinks whatever you bring him

i personally think that words of affirmation is what makes him fall for you especially, but just hear me out for a sec

no doubt viktor had to do a LOT to climb his way to his position, i think someone acknowledging his intelligence beyond the seemingly obligatory compliments would be more impactful to him

i think it would make him feel good no matter if you were someone who were an inventor like him or not, just the fact that you were putting in enough effort for him makes him happy

slightly off topic, i feel like he would love someone who can quip back at his sarcasm, especially if they try to equally match him or even exceed his energy

just making light jokes with him even for five minutes would somehow energize him for the rest of the day in my mind, no idea why

AMBESSA

giving:

ambessa is a proud woman, one who doesn't keep anyone who she doesn't want around her in her presence

i think ambessa would shower her lover in gifts, but not just any gifts, spoils of war.

as her lover, you'd certainly reflect the part outwardly, that was something she'd make sure of

i could see her giving you relatively anything you ask for, even if she had to fight to get it. (i.e.: garments, jewelry, etc.)

despite this though, ambessa does use gift giving as a means to satiate you in the beginning of your relationship, at least, until she fully trusts you

her gifts (sometimes) are a way for her to show her love during the long periods of time where she may not see you, and other times, well, it's a way she tries to express her emotions

she actually loves what quality time she can get with you, her favorite things to do are any type of spa treatments or just having you sit with her while she tells you stories of her countless battles

something i think she'd do is have your wrist in her hand, trailing your fingertips across her scars as she tells you the story of how she proudly earned them

i don't think she'd exaggerate much about her stories though, maybe in cases where she isn't proud of how it ended out/how she got the scars

occasionally possessive though, she loves it when people admire you by her side but HATES it when the admiring goes too far

receiving:

as for receiving, i think she'd like quality time and acts of service the most

ambessa doesn't seem like the person to keep anyone around who doesn't benefit her in some way, (we see where mel gets it from) so i could see the relationship sprouting from you doing any type of favors for her

regardless of whatever kind of favors they may be, i think i'd come to a point where she realizes she actually wants you around and not what you do for her

however, this doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate what you do for her while you are together, not at all

when she loves, she loves HARD, and this is especially for acts of service in particular

she'd appreciate every little thing you did, especially if you did it without her having to ask you to do it. in her mind, it means so much more when you do it on your own accord

i don't think it would really matter what you do, just the fact that you'd love her enough to do something to alleviate her when she's constantly on guard

physical touch, though, i feel like she'd love it in certain situations especially

ambessa was relatively untouchable in battle, and even then, not many people could say that she allowed them to touch her intimately besides casual hookups

i think she'd like non-sexual touches especially, in her mind, i could see her as considering them much more intimate than just a simple touch

i think she loves being held, especially after not seeing you for a while? it makes her feel like ambessa and not the wolf of noxus

Hi! Can I make a request of THH girls with a ultimate prodigy girlfriend reader that have passion for learning new things (and learns anything at the first try)?

Thank you for reading my request :)

thh!danganronpa girls x fem!girlfriend!reader ⇁

request? yes setup: thh girls with an ultimate prodigy girlfriend ! genre < fluff, typical junko things, cheesy nicknames nd shit, tiny spoilers in kyoko's part

note: thank you sm for the request! sorry if its a bit ooc it has been a while since ive played the games and i tried my best to do what u wanted so hopefully i got it right <3 also this is just a middle post im still working on dream about me dw

below the cut!

SAYAKA MAIZONO !

⃗ would be super impressed. initially maybe a little intimidated wondering how she could be perfect for someone like you

⃗ after the initial stage of shock, she would be quite intrigued and would never pass up an opportunity to hear you talk about it! literally the best listener. so used to being admired herself but now she's admiring you (she honestly already did even before she found out)

⃗ definitely the type of girlfriend to brag about you to others. like 'that's right. that's my girlfriend right there.' while smiling.

⃗ would always ask you to help her write her lyrics or just generally in her performances because of how much she admires and trusts you.

⃗ you would be writing something for her and she would just be looking at you with the MOST love drunk eyes ever

⃗ "you learned that instrument just by.. watching me.. once!? ..you're insane!" (lovingly)

⃗ always trying to be the best version of herself so she can be worthy of being your partner

❝ "how do you come up with these lyrics so fast?" sayaka asks, her eyes lighting up as she looks at you like you just pulled magic out of thin air. "and not just that... they sound amazing. you never fail to surprise me, you know that?" you glance up from the notebook, a small smile tugging at your lips as you meet her gaze. there's something about the way she says it—like she's genuinely in awe—that makes your chest feel a little warmer. "i guess it's easy when i'm writing for someone who inspires me," you say, closing the notebook gently. you lean in, just a little, your voice softer now. "anything for you." ❞

CELESTIA LUDENBERG !

⃗ similar to sayaka, she is also extremely intrigued. admires you shamelessly.

⃗ finds it absolutely adorable how you're always so eager to learn something new. you never pass up an opportunity for something new and she loves it.

⃗ loves how smart you are. celestia's always trying to test you or challenge you because she loves to see you in action (and also maybe the face you make when you're concentrating that makes her heartbeat increase) and see just how smart you are.

⃗ finds your intelligence so hot. like she's like downnnn bad.

⃗ also loves to brag about you just not too openly. kind of like you're are her biggest trophy in the most loving way.

⃗ challenges you to poker and gets absolutely destroyed by you. ends with her trying her best to act unaffected (you're the only person she would allow to beat her. also because she secretly enjoys it)

⃗ her favorite thing to do, despite it being just a little bit cheesy, is to flirt with you in puzzles or riddles. knows that you would solve it in seconds and loves to watch you solve it only to find it be a stupid pickup line by her. you truly have got her stupid in love.

❝ rain patters softly outside as you sit across from celestia, the two of you tucked away in her candlelit room. she slides a folded note across the tea table, eyes twinkling. “a little something to keep you entertained, a mind excercise, if you may.” she says, voice smooth.

you open it and read: “i am always near you, though i cannot be touched. i grow louder the closer you get, and quiet when you’re away. what am i? ”

you look up, smiling. “your heart?” celeste’s expression softens — just for a moment. “correct,” she murmurs. “and just so you know, it's getting louder now too.” you laugh gently. “god you're so cheesy!” she lifts her teacup with a smirk. “only because i know you’ll always solve them.” ❞

SAKURA OGAMI !

⃗ when she first finds out, she has like.. genuine respect. like so much respect for you cause that's amazing??

⃗ after all, she values discipline and dedication so it doesn't take much for you to impress her.

⃗ would act like you're asking her too many questions in the beginning but would love when you ask her about martial arts. loves your curiosity. like a lot.

⃗ whenever she's teaching you something and you grasp it so easily in one try? practically awe struck. it's a sight for sure to just see her looking at you so amazed and quickly collecting herself when you ask her about it.

⃗ also loves to listen to you talk. not too verbal but is willing to spend the rest of her life just listening to you talk. loves your voice and also loves just watching the passion in your eyes and in your voice when you talk.

⃗ you can do the same thing everyday and you would still never fail to amaze her every. single. time.

⃗ you keep eachother grounded. in an ironic way, you are kind of sakura's person to look up to (even though technically.. you look up to her... yk.. with the height difference lol)

❝ you flip through a book you found as you sit in the garden, waiting for sakura to come back. that's when you see her approaching you from the corner of your eye. “you are always learning,” she said softly, kneeling beside you.

you grinned. “you always say strength needs refinement. soo.. i refine my brain.” you say and watch as sakura gives you the smallest, warmest smile—one only you ever got to see. “then let me help you refine your body,” she offered, reaching out a hand to pull you up gently. “mind and strength, together—they are unstoppable.” you took her hand, standing easily with her help, repeating her words. “unbreakable and unstoppable,” you echoed, lacing your fingers with hers. ❞

KYOKO KIRIGIRI !

⃗ literal power couple. like you both are made for each other. ultimate detective and ultimate prodigy together? match made in heaven.

⃗ loves how analytical you can be, sometimes even more than her which means she always appreciate your help. often asks for it herself too.

⃗ you often try to predict plot twists or make deductions before she can even say them herself which she finds quite endearing.

⃗ always ends up admiring you instead of focusing on the case when you're with her, catching herself staring at you with the corners of her lips curving up just a little. mentally slaps herself for it and tries to not work around you sometimes due to the fact she always gets distracted by you in the best way. (ends up calling you there anyways cause you are her motivation in a way)

⃗ you both test each other and keep each other in check, growing together.

⃗ whenever she gives you premises of a case and you immediately understand without her having to tell you once again? she just fell harder in love.

⃗ her favorite thing is to have you lay your head in her lap while you're reading a book. just loves watching the subtle reactions on your face as she plays with your hair or clothes.

⃗ also loves it the other way around. your lap is her favorite pillow no questions asked.

❝ kyoko walked into the room, her eyes softening as they land on you as you stand there, going through the case files she had left. “you’ve been here for hours,” she said, voice low and even.

you glanced up, smirk widening. “these are fascinating. especially the second one—there was a clue in the handwriting. you missed it.” she raised an eyebrow, approaching. “did i?”

you turned the file toward her, tapping a line. “see? the slant. it's different from the rest. someone forged this entry.” kyoko stared at it for a moment, then smiled—just a flicker of it, subtle and rare. “you're always three steps ahead.”

“maybe,” you said, leaning back. “or maybe.. we just make a good team.”

she looked at you, nodding as the corners of her lips curled upwards. "we do, don't we?" ❞

AOI ASAHINA !

⃗ often finds herself extremely lost or confused when you speak. but one thing that's always there is the admiration in her eyes.

⃗ you're some otherwordly person for her. like you are literally her idol. you both are eachother's idols. she can never wrap her head around how you can be this smart. like how is it possible!?

⃗ even if she finds herself confused when you talk about what you recently learned, she will always tries her best to understand a bit and listen to you, eager to learn from you.

⃗ similarly, LOVES to brag about you. like the number one person who brags about you. if she could, she would wear a nametag around her neck that read 'y/n's girlfriend' or 'my girlfriend is y/n' because of how insanely lucky she feels that someone as great as you loves her!? she isn't dumb, not at all, but compared to you!? she feels like she must have saved a city in her previous life.

⃗ "uh.. i'll ask my girlfriend and let you know. she would know!" "you don't know?? pfft, my girlfriend would know!" "shut up my girlfriend is smarter than you." "you should ask my girlfriend! she knows everything."

⃗ almost views it as a competition. "my girlfriend is better than you."

⃗ the people around her get sick of how much she brags about you and how you are somehow always brought up in the conversation, even if it's unrelated. but it's okay, you love her to death too.

⃗ still kicks her legs in happiness when she reminisces about that one time you both had a pastry in a bakery that she loved so much because then you went home and mastered the recipe and made it for her just by trying it once! still wonders how you did that.

⃗ when you learn her swimming workouts easily? she is of course, amazed but also frustrated how you learn something she struggled to learn so easily!?

⃗ acts like she's annoyed but truly she just falls deeper in love every time you do.

⃗ "if you weren't so cute, i would be mad you're better than me."

⃗ it makes her heartbeat 10x faster when you call her brilliant or compliment her because of course, you're her girlfriend and she blue screens with any compliment from you but also coming from the ultimate prodigy you are?! she wants your compliments engraved in her mind.

❝ “okay, okay—how the heck are you doing that already?!” aoi stared at you, wide-eyed and water-dripping, as you popped up from the pool with a smug little smile. just an hour ago, she’d offered to teach you how to do a perfect flip turn, and now here you were—executing it like an olympic swimmer.

you floated over, grinning. “I watched you do it. muscle memory, observation, physics of motion... you know the drill.” she narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms as she treaded water. “you’re some kind of swim sorcerer, that’s what you are.”

you laughed. “or maybe you’re just a really good teacher.” her cheeks flushed just a bit at what you said, and she splashed water at you to hide it. “flattery won’t save you. i barely teached you! you like.. watched me once!"

you smirked as you watched her jump into the water, cheeks flushed just a little. "okay! rematch. race. five laps, 'kay?” aoi said as she swam to you. ❞

TOKO FUKAWA !

⃗ knowing toko, she was intimidated at first. even being convinced you would find her writing silly or juvenile. and due to her troublesome childhood, she would be quite wary and suspicious of you too, never really opening up.

⃗ but when you read her novels and give genuine, thoughtful feedback? oh, she’s hooked. it becomes a habit where she always asks you to proofread her novels before she takes the next step, trusting you more than herself even if she would never admit it.

⃗ also loves your confidence. she isn't too confident herself but when she sees you? and how smart you are? she feels confident too. you help her grow.

⃗ and her genocide jack side? yeah you aren't catching a second of calm.

⃗ insanely down bad. like celestia, your intelligence is so hot to toko.

⃗ genocide jack is obsessed with how smart you are. even obsessed is an understatement.

⃗ “ugh, a sexy brainiac? how am I supposed to compete with that level of hot???”

⃗ loves watching you in your element, especially when you geek out over something.

⃗ probably even gave you some stupid nickname like ultimate sexy smartass or something. you mentally slap yourself.

⃗ toko feels almost comforted by you. she finds herself being able to rely on you for anything because you always kind of knew the answer to everything. makes her feel assured in a way.

❝ "hey toko!" you chime in as you pull a seat next to her, sitting down and watching her scribble onto pages in her book. "wha—! don't just.. appear like that! you surprised me!" you watch as toko looks up, her pen almost flying out of her hand.

"oops, sorry! didn't mean to interrupt the next award winning novel." you say as you grin, watching toko's reaction. "you read it!?" she replies and you mentally prepare yourself for a lecture when she instead pauses before speaking again.

"..did you like it?" toko asks, looking at you expectedly.

you nodded, sliding one of her earlier pages across the table. "it’s brilliant. your imagery? the way you build tension? it’s like watching lightning gather in the clouds before a storm. you write like a genius.”

she blinked at you. once. twice. her skin flushing red from your words. how do you make her heartbeat increase like that.. so easily!? "..are you flirting with me?"

"is it working?" you say smiling. "y/n! i was trying to concentrate here you know—!" toko says, her tone annoyed but the soft smile that she was fighting didn't go unnoticed by you. ❞

JUNKO ENOSHIMA !

⃗ obsessed with you. like insanely obsessed with you.

⃗ at first, she thinks it's such a boringg ultimate. pfft, ultimate prodigy? what even is that?

⃗ but then, when she watches you in action? watches you immediately master something in one try? she's gone for.

⃗ you're like one of the few people who can keep up with her stupid tactics and mind games. hell even counter them. and that drives her insane in the best way possible.

⃗ "and that's wh- junko? are you even listening to me!?" "you're so hot." "what the fuck!?"

⃗ thirsts over you 24/7. never knew she would find someone being intelligent this hot but here she is. never misses an opportunity to make a restraining order worthy comment about you.

⃗ jokes aside, she loves just how insane you are in that way. in brainrotted words, you match her freak immaculately.

⃗ also makes it her goal to test you and tease you whenever she can but she's never surprised when you beat her. she knew you would beat her. she has so much confidence in you it's insane.

⃗ even makes it her goal to find the most insane and twisted puzzles, knowing you would immediately solve it making her so excited.

⃗ does not care at all when you do something better than she can or beat her. hell, she wants you to beat her because she loves it. that's junko for you.

⃗ after you both started dating, she practically abandoned wikipedia or any help books. afterall, she has her own guide now. her hot guide who is her girlfriend.

⃗ literally calls you her hot wikipedia. no shame. zero shame.

⃗ "babeeee, i need your help with something!" "..again!?"

⃗ sometimes (most times) she would already understand something but would still ask you just because she loves watching you help her. freak. (cough)

❝ “i’ve thrown everything at you. despair speeches, manipulation, mind games,” she said, stretching the words out like taffy. “and you just sit there. all calm and genius-y and smug.” junko says, dragging out her words again as she leans back on the couch, acting annoyed. you smirk, laughing at her poor attempts and also her attempts to act like she's annoyed.

she groaned and flopped onto her back. “ugh. disgusting. i hate you. i wanna ruin you. i wanna kiss you.” you tilted your head. “in that order?”

she sat up sharply, pointing a perfectly manicured finger at you. “that right there! that’s what i mean! you don’t flinch. you don’t blush. you don’t even stutter.”

"technically, i am blushing. i'm just good at hiding it, unlike you." you say as you smirk, watching junko roll her eyes as she grinned too.

"anyways.. i meant what i said." "meant what?"

"i still wanna do what i said earlier, you know?" junko smirks as you throw a pillow at her. junko enoshima is going to be the death of you. and likewise you, her. ❞

I'm not the same anon that asked for that deep male reader, but I loved the idea of it. Could you make a similar headcanon, but with the sinclair brothers?

Slashers dating a male!s/o with a deep voice part 2

I didn’t see this ask until now so sorry anon! Hope you like it >.< I love writing for the Sinclair brothers honestly but its been a while since ive watched the movie so excuse my mistakes!

Characters include the Sinclair Brothers!

Male reader!

Vincent Sinclair:

He has to get used to it. He's used to being in the basement alone, surrounded by silence for most of the days as he's working on another art piece. He likes the peace, away from the screams of tourists or arguments with Bo or the confusing chatter from Lester. So when you try to make conversation with him....he's not ignoring you, he just kind of...doesn't know what to think. You speak softly, but your voice is so deep it kind of throws him off his game for those first couple of weeks of being with you.

He wants you to talk more. Eventually, he can't get enough of you and your voice. He'll often sit you down near his desk while he's working on something and just listen to you talk about whatever. Ever so often he'll turn to you and nod to show that he is listening to you so that you don't stop. On the odd day that you are doing something that stops you from being able to sit with him downstairs, he'll find himself restless and unable to create anything worthwhile.

Easily flustered. You say literally anything that has a hint of a flirty undertone and this man is bright red under his mask, fumbling with his hands as he tries to sign back to you. If you whisper something in his ear, flirty or not, he's going to have a heart attack. You have a lot of fun teasing him. He likes it, too! (But he's too embarrassed to admit it)

Bo Sinclair

He tries to deepen his voice around you. It's obvious that he's a bit intimidated by how deep your voice is, but he'll call you an insecure pussy if you try to talk to him about it. He has to be the most intimidating/sexy guy in the room, y/n. Ambrose isn't big enough for the two of you!

He'll pretend to hate your voice, but really he finds it attractive. He'll still tease/bully you to no end about your voice, but once you've started dating he'll slow down the insults considerably (but not entirely). Hopefully your not insecure about it, because he certainly will use anything he can to keep you complacent/with him. "You think you can find anyone else that'll want you with that voice? I'm the best you'll ever hope to have, sweetheart."

He gets PTSD whenever you yell. Whether your joking or actually mad at him, your voice lowers even more when you yell and then suddenly he's a little boy again getting screamed at by his sonofabitch daddy. A switch will flip and he'll go into a rage, cursing you and anyone else out and pushing you out of the way to be alone with his cars. Give him a few hours to himself. Eventually he'll come back to you like it never happened, and if you really loved him, you'd play along.

He gets insanely jealous when tourists comment on your voice. He keeps a cool front, but inside he's already thinking about how the wax will look on their skin. You're voice is attractive, yes, but they aren't allowed to think about his boyfriend, period. If you want the tourists to not die in an extra painful manner, you'd best stay in the house where no one can see hear you.

Lester Sinclair

"Woah! You alright, mister?" He thinks you're sick the first time you meet, and when you explain that that's just how your voice is he'll bombard you with semi-invasive questions. "Did ya' always sound like that? Does it hurt to talk like that?" He literally will grill you in the truck the entire time to Ambrose, ignoring anybody else you might've been with. Lester doesn't do social cues very well, so hopefully you don't take any offense to his questions. At least he's being genuine?

Loves it when you sing. He ain't good at it, but anytime he hears you singing he'll join you, belting out the worst fucking singing you've ever heard in your life. He thinks you'd make a great singer, y/n! You could be a duo! Jonesy could make it a trio! This guy is a riot, y/n.

Gets a little insecure around tourists. As you both escort the newest batch of victims to town, the girl in the back seat just will not shut the hell up about how sexy she thinks your voice is. He tries to laugh it off, but he can't help but think about all the better people you could be with. "I know I ain't no catch, y/n..." You have to reassure him at night about how amazing he is and how much you love him. And if that doesn't work, just remind him that he's the only person who gets to hear your voice in bed and you've got him smiling from ear to ear again.

Jonesy barked at you when she first heard you talk. She's never heard someone so baritone before! Of course, now whenever she hears your voice, it's all tail wags and kisses! Lester loves when the three of you get to finally turn in for the night, cuddled up into a little pile of love.

I dont know if you know anything about Magic, but I thought you would like you know that in the upcoming set there's a group of sun worshiping mercenary space knights who wear mummy-like wrappings under their armor thats embroidered with their oaths/the hymns of their faith (the idea that the knights who are quite literally bound in the oaths was driving me crazy and I had to let you know about it)

First thank you, Im glad to know a design team out there is embracing knights keeping religious things inside their armour

Second, possibly the best notification Ive gotten because it took me a while to realise you were talking about a card game ive never played.

So while the oath knights are good, Im a little sad you didn't come to my inbox to gossip about a new form of spellcasting.

[sha-brytols]

hmmm. things i genuinely enjoyed about veilguard:

- cinematics and graphics are obviously gorgeous. i love watching the hair move it's hypnotizing.

- literally the first time ive ever played a dragon age game where i had the difficulty above casual because i didnt fucking hate the combat this time

- on that note Thank You for bringing back secondary long range weapon rogues

- bellara is literally the best and most down to earth representation of a character with adhd i've ever seen. john epler deserved a reward for that i think i've never seen a character with adhd before where i genuinely related to them on a deeper level i adore how emotional regulation and memory impairment and disorganization and CREATIVITY are actually shown in her depiction it's literally so perfect i need to kiss her on the lips

- on that note oh my god. east asian characters. finally.

- i just love neve idk

- unique dwarf interactivity oh my god fucking finally thank you for this i've been starving for so fucking long bro

- davrin is in my top 5 dragon age characters just in general. grey warden ✅ dalish hunter except the writers finally remembered "hunter" doesn't literally mean a food hunter its just how the dalish refer to their non-magic combatants ✅ griffon plotline finally resolved ✅ best romance in the game ✅ hrghgbgh breasts ✅

- personal issues with the modernization of their story aside i genuinely adored taash's gender discovery and the dinner scene with their mother was actually one of my favorite character moments of the game

- mythals voice actress just scratched a brain itch for me idk i just love how she talks

- the climax of harding's quest genuinely went hard as fuck holy shit

- siege of weisshaupt is and will forever be top 5 dragon age missions of all time

- on that note i was actually really pleasantly surprised by the depictions of the grey wardens. i feel like recent installments have been leaning so hard on the "brutal pragmatists" depiction of the wardens that it became easy to forget that at their core they're still. like. heroes. i did appreciate the game going out of its way to show BOTH their good sides and dark sides.

- emmrich's quest is a guilty pleasure i love how campy it is. hezenkoss' little finger gun was so fun

- the dream sequences with solas were definitely highlights of the game. despite common criticisms i think i actually liked how solas' portrayal leaned more towards his shady side. the way inquisition is more of his "wisdom" side while veilguard is more of "his pride" side was a nice experience

SPLATOON MEGA CRACKPOT THEORY: AGENT 8 NEVER EXISTED BEFORE OCTO EXPANSION AND TARTAR IS THEIR MOTHER

No, seriously. I was just looking at a picture of Octo Expansion's character select.

Eight is floating around, naked, in a vat of sanitized ink. The ink conveniently obscures their little octopus genitals, but why are they floating in a vat of sanitized ink?

(For best results, listen to Who Am I? from Final Fantasy VII while reading this post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfRNQleP2bw)

We know from the level Belly Phase that being submerged in sanitized ink, like any other foreign liquid, splats an Octoling to death by inundating and bursting their body.

We know from the level Fake Plastic Station and many levels after it that a regular Octoling being newly sanitized only involves the use of an IV drip, not submerging the whole body in ink.

I therefore deduce that Eight must be floating in sanitized ink because they're about to be printed, born from it.

What other evidence do I have? Well, it's the mem cakes.

The mem cakes you win for completing tests in Octo Expansion are apparently Agent 8's memories.

Agent 8; however, was supposedly in the Octarian Army before joining Kamabo Co.

The Octarian Army are trapped underground. That's why they steal Zapfish in the first place. Agent 8 has never visited the surface world, yet they have memories of the Inkopolis shopkeepers anyway.

This means at least some of Agent 8's memories are not their own. In turn, "Agent 8" is the composite of multiple minds in one body.

The only way to reconcile Agent 8 having memories of the Octarian Army and the surface world is that Agent 8's narrative of having had a single, consistent life is false and they are an amalgamate.

There were Octolings at one point with these memories separately, they got blended into their raw ink form and fused into Eight.

Also, recall that Seita Inoue interview from 2018. He says Agent 8 is designed to be "around 14" physically. The Octoling soldiers have to be at least 14 years old to assume their adult/human forms.

Agent 8, meanwhile remembers watching Agent 3 fight DJ Octavio two years ago.

If Inoue is not simply mistaken, Agent 8 would have been 12 years old then (a wiggly, goopy, Paul-ish octopus), and they would not be a functional soldier, and thus have no reason to be on Octavio's UFO.

Note this Sunken Scroll, where Marina and some other Octarians are watching Three and Octavio's fighting concert. All of the spectators are soldiers, whether Octolings or single tentacles.

I must conclude, then, that Eight's defining memory of Three that inspired them. their "Inner Agent 3", is somebody else's memory; the memory of a soldier who did watch Agent 3 before at some point between Splatoon 1 and 2, collecting the thangs and blending themselves into goo.

I can only assume that Tartar literally created Agent 8, as the "supreme DNA", the sum of all its blending experiments, the sum of all knowledge, the blueprint for a new world devoid of individuality and thus devoid of conflict.

This is why Tartar is shocked that #10,008 would escape the blender after willingly entering it. Tartar printed out #10,008 specifically for the purpose of solving tests, finding thangs, blending themselves up, inviting more people to blend themselves up until everyone in the world is part of Tartar's sentient mint toothpaste clusterfuck.

As Tartar gave birth to Agent 8, this makes Tartar Agent 8's mother.

The Telephone only attempts to destroy civilisation as we know it in response to Eight escaping - there's no indication that its NILS Statue gambit would occur had Eight not escaped. Probably, it was playing the long game, waiting for people to blend themselves into an amalgam until everyone is soup, but then when its perfect, respectable amalgam, its child, developed of a sense of self and escaped, it decided "screw the world of individuality actually".

If you've played BioShock 2, think of Tartar as a Sofia Lamb figure, and specimen #10,008 as an Eleanor, a People's Daughter, the sum of all past knowledge in one unholy vessel.

I believe this is why the character is only referred to as "Eight" - even after they retrieve their memories, they still don't remember their name, even to Pearl and Marina, their closest friends. Why? It's because they never had a name. They're the composite of anywhere up to ten thousand minds in one body.

In talking of the consciousness of "multiple Octolings mixed together" in this Dev Diary, Marina almost gets the memo. She still asks "could sanitization have also caused Agent 8's memory loss?", she is still under the impression that Agent 8 "lost their memory", rather than coming to my conclusion that Agent 8 was an artificially-constructed being in the first place.

JUST ONE MORE THING...

Kamabo Co. still carries out tests. Commander Tartar is now powerless to destroy Inkopolis or merge everyone's minds into goo or whatever, but the company is very much still active as of Splatoon 3.

In this White Day 2020 artwork,

Agents 8 and 3 are playing with C.Q. Cumber.

Recall that Splatoon takes place in real time, and that all of its promotional artwork is diegetic and therefore canon unless proven otherwise.

This artwork is from 2020, and it portrays Agent 3 (who never participated in Kamabo Co.'s tests) in the Deepsea Metro, playing with C.Q. Cumber, who still wears a Kamabo Co. hat, suggesting that he still works for Kamabo Co. as of 2020 (three years after Octo Expansion).

My other proof for this claim is the presence of Kamabo Co. advertisments outside the Deepsea Metro entrance in Inkopolis Square in Splatoon 3, as of Inkopolis Square's addition to the game in 2024.

The metro entrance is blocked off by Marigold and the Tableturf Battle corner, yet the paper advertisements are still there on the ground.

You might suggest that the advertisements are the same ones that were there in Splatoon 2, but paper left on the ground outside doesn't last seven years.

The Deepsea Metro itself is, as we see in Octo Expansion and in the maps of Lemuria Hub, a regular subway system where people commute to work, as well as the site of a weird octopus-Aperture Science facility.

The advertisements, are specifically for Kamabo Co., not for the Deepsea Metro itself.

The fact that Agent 8 willingly returns to the Deepsea Metro in the White Day 2020 artwork suggests that they have some kind of emotional attachment to it, like Marina does to the Octarian domes.

This would make sense if, rather than just a place where Eight was held captive and forced to solve tests for a few hours then escape, the Deepsea Metro was Eight's actual birthplace.

I hope, if nothing else, this post made you think.

On a slightly related note, I got 83% marks on my course assignment about the deep sea and its organisms, including those that gather around hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, and whale falls.

[elliesglock]

heyyyy i'm back..with us open tea..... for this to be even legible i'm going to split it into two days. this isn't really in any specific order because im not sure the exact dates.

day 1: coco guaff match

this day......my brain exploded. it literally changed me as a woman. because the way azzi completely just gives herself up and just openly loves on p so much!!!!!!! i'm obsessed. we really got to see this day how paige takes care of azzi. how she loves her and will do anything for her. the dynamic of p being the gentle woman and azzi being the princess hits like CRACK and it's heavyyyy this day. i'm gonna show yall everything i found on this day.

first of all, azzi shows up to the match in a sweater and p shows up (looking very gay girlfriend coded) may i add in a purple button up and some cargos. there's a few instances where we kinda catch p and a chatting and having a good time. more p than azzi talking we already know. the vibe they give if you walked past them is oh they're such a cute couple! so attractive! and oh baby they are wearing their relationship like a shirt. you can feel the love young and the happiness in the air the way they interact. in one video, azzi is asking p if i'm reading lips correctly) who won gold. to which paige responds im not sure. just a cute little moment. another small little cute moment....p holding azzi's food while she eats. she just : she knew: i love them sue me. p also has a very cute moment where she's all smiley with her phone and she taps azzi on the shoulder to probably tell her stupid little joke. and the way she look so happy to be looking at azzi : her eyes search her face in a way and yes she's just telling a joke but it gives every time she looks at azzi she takes her all in, like she's a breath of fresh air. maybe im just over reading it but it's such a sweet moment between them. even though azzi's pretty checked out and just nods at p lololol. princess unfortunately gets so hot she takes off her sweater and then it makes me hot- oh who said that. anyways gentlewoman p's senses are def tingling cause she can't give her her jacket or do anything to make azzi feel better. she's like damn i brought my girl to this match and she can't ask for jacket cause she's hot and not cold . now this is where i say the us open showed a lot about their dynamic....azzi seems pretty uncomfortable and is obviously hot. gentlewoman p steps up and decides yeahhhh this isn't gonna work. she literally does everything possible to make azzi feel better. she reaches her hands out to azzi to hold, she lets azzi lean her head on her shoulder, she literally gives her body to azzi so she can be comfortable. i sob and die on the floor. that's where their dynamic plays a part again. the way p knows immediately how to help azzi and make her feel better when she's clearly going through it. i think she's set out her whole life to be the best gf to her azzi. i'm tearing up right this no joke. also i'm listening to daniel caesar that's prob why. in clips ive seen, azzi pretty much spent this whole game either hot or uncomfortable. i know p's like damn. wanted this to be nice for my girl :. there's an interesting moment and it's truly my favorite moment of the whole us open. azzi is very obv hot and judging by her body language she wants to leave. she seems pouty and gets close to p to whisper something to her. mind u PAIGE HAS ALLLL POINTS OF CONTACT. she's got her hand on azzi's leg, her shoulders pressed up against azzi's (she's prob the reason azzis so damn hot), and she leans down to listen to what azzi is saying. MAKE IT STOPPPPPPP. she could ve listened to azzi from afar and just looked straight the match. but no. she's so soft and an active listener to whatever her girl might need. so much so she leans down, takes her eyes off the match, and listens to what azzi is saying. yall already know what im gonna say DYNAMIC!! it seems like now that azzi is not feeling that well she slips into this headspace where she just wants p to take care of her. she's all soft spoken, she's leaning her body into paige, and probably whispering that she wants to get the fuck outta thereeee. but she's safe with p she knows that.

like yall are not listening to me. she knows p will take care of her and she knows anytime she's upset paige will be there and will keep her safe and make sure she's taken care of. i know what you're thinking. gabi it's literally just a video. but watching their body language. the way p gets so close to azzi, almost like she wants to kiss her head. it almost seems like she whispers to az just to give her a few more minutes and she'll take her home and let her lay in bed with the fan on. oh yall thought that was it? WRONG!

i think being so cramped in the chairs starts to hurt azzi's knee so she moves down a seat to stretch her leg out. (i know p was heartbroken). hence previously i think the reason p had her hand on azzi's knee/leg earlier was because she knew her knee was bothering her and was probably massaging it. GFS. but you know them. you know they're still talking even though they're separated. thank u bench moments. i'm not sure what they're talking about but i'm gonna assume by what paige does next that she was probably worried about a and azzi was being azzi and telling her not to worry. oh so this next part? yeah just die after like i did because..... WTF PAIGE BUECKERS. this bitch reaches over and strokes azzi's face and they just stare into each other's eyes for a few seconds (im so sorry dude next to them). .....! that's all i have to say. i'm at a loss for words. yall do know you are on camera right...? my dynamic agenda. gained 8 points this day. completely loving and gentlewoman p? check. absolutely dedicated to making her girl feel better p? check. DOWN BADDDDDDD AND AFFECTIONATE P?? CHECK CHECK. please bring more affectionate p to the front of the class cause i'm absolutely sick looking at these videos rn. the way she's so gentle with azzi? i could cry right now. like full on tears. how slowly she goes up like she wants to be the as gentle as possible. and the way she holds azzi's face like it's glass. the big three that took me tf out. imo all of this, they truly didn't gaf who was watching. paige wanted to comfort her girl and azzi wanted affection and they were by god gonna do it. who cares who's watching. i like that energy!! keep doing that pazzi! i still can't get over how paige is like mapping out azzi's face. i can see her late at night while azzi's sleeping just tracing her face and her freckles and her smile lines admiring everything her girl is. she has a beautiful woman and she knows it. she's gonna do everything to appreciate all the beauty she has before her. FREE ME PAIGE BUECKERS TAKE UR FOOT OFF MY NECK PLEASE. this was the moment i realized p is truly the most lovingly, lovingest lover girl to ever exist. and azzi hesitates bringing her hand and put it over p's. azzi fudd physical touch agenda gained 80 points. and paige is just looking into azzi's eyes and promising she'll take care of her. I FUCKED DIED. the trust azzi obv has in p cause i would've been like bitch fuck u get me the hell out of here, but they stay and watch coco win and they're all smiley and happy and high fiving people. truly giving the peoples couple fr fr. and they are. the people's couple even gets to meet the coco guaff. so very nations couple of them. i just love it. that pic is so we're gonna put that on our mantel when we have our own house one day coded. and i'm completely over it.

day 2: flicked up pazzi and azzi neon outfit

im combining these two because they're not as long as the first one and not as many moments to dissect unfortunately. we were literally fucked by everyone and really only have pics to go off of. i do have a few little video moments.

first of all, holy power couple this day. the way they look like the most lesbian aunties to ever exist. i would totally go over to their house and feel completely safe. their house definitely smells like lavender and their guest rooms has super soft and clean sheets. that's what their giving this whole day. pls adopt me pazzi i'll clean whatever u need me too. they have a little carpet moment and take power couple photos. p and azzi again, have the biggest fucking grins on their face. they literally seem so freaking happy this trip. it's like oozing from them. paige looks amazing, azzi looks amazing. i know paige was sooooo geeked this day looking at azzi and the same for azzi. they look incredible. p has her digital camera a lot and from what she posted on insta, azzi was taking a lot of pictures for her :). certified girlfriend photographer azzi fudd btw. we also get the like that's a beautiful couple. if i didn't know them i would wanna be friends with them immediately and have them tell me their whole love story. we get a cute little moment in the stands where p is putting back her camera in her little bag and a goes to help her out. little helpful princess she's cute. i really wish we could've gotten more azzi this day she seemed so full of happiness and so soft with p this day. u can tell by the smiles on their faces this day it's A LOT less hot and more comfortable for azzi this time lolololol. they seem so happy. p has a huge grin on her face the whole time. so does azzi. apparently when p was putting the camera back in her bag it was right after the picture on her insta azzi took of her standing up. there's that. again if i was looking into this completely unknowingly i would think they were newly married. they just have that glow to them. maybe p was hitting it right this trip cause azzi is literally glowing like the sun. after this azzi and paige go and meet the whole scandal and greys anatomy cast. i would just love to see their initial reaction because i bet they both had just the biggest grin on their faces and were so happy they couldn't stay off each other. i can imagine p just being so happy she's jumping up and down and like squeezing azzi's hand 😭 ipad kid ass. they get a picture with the cast. they both seem so happy after this bc i mean they get to have their dreammmmm. getting to meet your fav shows cast and also having a gf that looks as good as azzi does this day. GENERATIONAL BAG.

the day where azzi has the neon outfit and paige is wearing jorts and a tee. first of all the way they're matching??!?!?? brittany are u trying to kill me? we get some REALLTLILRLEKEIKE sexy azzi pictures that i think paige took. she looks absolutely stunning and i know azzi got a few kisses after p took those photos. they seem tired but happy this day. looks like they wanna go home to their beds and cuddle to sleep off the jet lag together. there's a cute littlesomebody caught of p yawning and stretching after the game and the way azzi is standing against her? ummmmmm???? she seems like it's her natural reaction to reach up and put her hands under paige's shirt on her waist but she stops herself. they're both chatting and are soooo close im surprised they haven't kissed yet. and the way azzi is looking up to paige when she stretches. again soft azzi was ALIVE these last two days. i truly loved to see it. azzi looked beautiful idk if ive said that. surprised paige didn't just start making out with her right there. i wouldn't have been able to resist. all in all, this day is so soft and cutesy and makes me so happy to be pazzi nation.

in conclusion, the us open changed my life. no i don't mean anything about tennis. pazzi at the us open changed my FUCKING life. i've never been the same. they were screaming i fucking love my girlfriend and we're together forever. p had her moments and azzi had her moments now too. i hope you can see these moments and make out who does what in the dynamic and how sometimes they take turns. i love pazzi and i wish they would come back home. goodnight!!!

also as you always know, i tried my best to find every moment to mention but if missed something pls tell me and i'll add it! thank you! 💆‍♀️

imagine you and art studying together, and he was too distracted with his games to actually do the homework so he teases you and acts all innocent when he’s really trying to get those homework awnsers out of you…

(sorry i’m not best at explaining i hope this made sense)

YUPPPPP

since he earned a scholarship from playing tennis, it's hard for art to focus on academics, when it's not really what he's in school for!

he tries hard in the first semester of his freshman year.. but then he kind of gives up and coasts on his successful career as a college tennis player. finally his coach makes him get a tutor; you.

art needs the most help in math, because he has such a hard time paying attention. the first time you meet, he seems like the classic jock, not pressured like anyone else to actually try hard at school. for the first few tutoring sessions art just sits there on his phone, humming in response whenever you answer a problem on his homework, or teasing you about being such a "nerd". you roll your eyes, pretty much fed up with doing his homework every day while he just sits and plays stupid games on his phone. you decide to finally say something.

"you know i don't have to do this for you, right? it's frustrating when im literally doing your work for you and you never even do as much as say thank you." art looks up from his phone, initially having a look of surprise on his face, but quickly covering it up with a pout. "im really, really sorry.. its just.. ive been so tired after tennis, and i have so much practice that i barely sleep.." he almost has a whine in his voice, "im really sorry.. it's just.. i don't even think i can do all the stuff that you do, you're so smart.." he looks up at you with those baby blue eyes and you can't help but feel sorry for him. "art.. you're smart, for real. if you just applied yourself to the work you'd be as good as i am in no time.." he nods slowly, putting down his phone. "i guess you're right.. let me make it up to you though, can i buy you dinner or something?" art looks at you earnestly, eyes searching yours for any hints of you giving in. you sigh, "okay.. sure, only if you promise to actually do your work once and a while." art nods happily and crosses his fingers behind his back, "oh of course i will"

you both get up and leave, art satisfied that you're now under his little spell <3

Toya as your husband!

Writing style: hc's

Before the ceremony!!

– Listen. He was so nervous about the wedding. He was scared of messing up. He'll need a lot of support and assurance that he will do fine... he wants everything to be perfect.

– He wanted a simple and casual ceremony, without extravagant decorations or place, only with the people you two are close with.

– Although, if you want a bigger ceremony with more people and with more extravagance, you two would find a bridge between the 2 ideas! He'll always listen to your opinions and comments <3

– He'll try to find the prettiest and best suit to the marriage. He will keep asking your opinion about them, because most importantly, you're his wife/husband <3

– If you need to, he will help you to find the prettiest dress/suit to yourself, always complimenting you and how you look, or how pretty you're in the vestment

– Bonus for a male reader!! He will try to find matching suits to both of you, suits that you two will love unconditionally. He would keep hugging you from behind and watching you two on the mirror, kissing your cheek~

In the ceremony!!

– He was SO. NERVOUS.

– When I mean he was nervous. He was. Nervous.

– The only two times in his life he was genuinely nervous was at RAD BLAST and now at your wedding.

– He wants everything to be perfect, every word, every speech. And it will be, because your husband is Toya.

– Before asking the words such as "I do", he made the most cheesy and loving speech he could ever. He practised it multiple times before the wedding. He didn't even need a paper to remember what to say. He took both of your hands and spoke with pure sincerity and love. Because you were his life, his everything, and wouldn't change you for nothing.

– He literally cried. After you both agreed to spend the rest of your lives beside each other, he held you close and cried.

– When the ceremonialist said "you can kiss the wife/husband", he took a strand of hair from your face and rubbed your cheek gently, kissing you in the lips with pure and innocent love.

– If you prefer, the same would happen, but you would do the same to Toya.

After the ceremony!!

– He still had to get used to the term "huband/wife", he couldn't believe he was that lucky to have you as his.

– You two change tasks. One day he makes breakfast (and it's really delicious), the other you do. When one washes the dishes, the other dries them. You were a team, and you always helped each other with house tasks.

– He will daily reassure you he loves you. At good mornings, good nights, before going to sleep, when waking up... every chance he gets, he spells these 3 affectionate words <3

– He will from times to times get you flowers or your favourite sweets. He doesn't need a celebrative date to show you how much he loves you, and he will never stop it!!

– He would NOT be ashamed of saying you're his husband/wife. He will always make sure to show people you're his, and if someone is staring at you, he will give them a death stare.

– Whenever you're struggling with work, he will be there to help you if you need and comfort you.

– He will want to have small sleepover nights with you to remember the times you two were best friends or used to date. He will play games with you, watch movies, shows, and he will always have an arm wrapped around you, even if he just puts a hand on your thigh, he wants to feel you're there.

– He's literally the perfect husband. Even though he struggles to show his feelings, he says or puts out every feeling he has for you. Making him spit some stuff out of nowhere, such as "you look pretty today" or "your eyes are beautiful, you know?"

– The best company to be around. Knows how to cook, bake, clean, do house tasks, and is the sweetest and most caring husband ever.

# Bonus!! If you're ever in pain, he will massage the place you're hurting. If you're a girl or a trans-boy, he will always spoil you in your period, give you a warm gel bag to your cramps, always give you medicine for pain, and buy your desires!

We all say in unison: Toya's the best boy ever!!!
