Tbh the more I think about it the more I don't even agree that "does Omelas having a suffering kid make it more credible?" is solely an indictment of an inability to imagine a perfect utopia without there being some catch or dark underbelly.

Why does your imagination fall short? Why is it so easy to imagine that these happy people are doing something heinous behind the scenes, like taking pleasure in hurting a child? She gives an answer, a point of view, and I think there is a genuine frustration. I think she is genuinely going, when you think of a perfect utopia where everyone is happy, why are people often immediately skeptical and looking for holes? Why do people often imagine something fairytale-esque? Why do people so often imagine everyone must be stupid in such a world, that people are secretly unhappy?

And, you know, glancing at the wiki, the work seems to be in conversation with specific, kind of insufferable instances of this exact hypothetical being used.

And I kind of get that like. The inclusion of a hidden abused child that adults insist must be abandoned and abused and that most kids see the injustice of but many eventually grow up to tell themselves excuses of how "well, this is the way it has to be" is still sort of condemning a skeptical reader, and I get how walking away from omelas means to walk away from this entire hypothetical and imagine a different world rather than believe that a perfect world without a suffering child is true just because you've been told so. The metaphor is certainly there.

But simultaneously I don't agree that it's just walking away from the hypothetical. It isn't just, here you go edgelords, I gave omelas something terrible to make it more realistic, are you satisfied? There are reasons beyond a lack of imagination to be doubtful, and there are reasons beyond not accepting the "banality of evil" to find the idea of the secret suffering child compelling and, almost certainly, familiar. Maybe you've even been that hypothetical suffering child, told that your mistreatment is just and necessary for others to prosper.

I also don't think walking away possibly being read as acceptance of the framework isn't a little bit on purpose as well. I think going, "what, I'm supposed to believe this framework just because the author said so?" is a response she's purposefully trying to provoke in people! "I would save the kid anyway" is protesting against the framework of Omelas as much as "walking away" is. The hypothetical omelas likely sparks your desire to fix things, encourages you to come up with solutions, to think about what you'd do, a want to build a better world that doesn't involve the child's suffering, and going "Omelas is just a hypothetical it's not about finding a solution and you're stupid if you say you'd try to save the child" is also I think incredibly reductive, and I think it's a take that bothers me so much more because it so quickly contradicts itself and refuses to engage with a good chunk of the story put forth.

She's not just criticizing a disbelief in perfect happiness, she's also stoking your desire for one. She almost certainly put in a suffering child because most people would respond with wanting to save it.

Or maybe I'm crazy and this is nothing. Maybe I don't even believe this 100%. You'll never catch me

The world my ocs live in is a post apocalyptic world. A world where magic didn’t used to exist but through sheer stubbornness and perseverance humanity chose to keep going forward. Even if it meant that humanity as it used to exist wouldn’t ever exist anymore and a new type of humanity would be born from its ashes.

The Sun was dying, the moon crumbling, the earth doing both. Four people decided that they would give up their lives for the greater good of the world. One became the Sun, one became the Moon, one became the Earth, and the other became magic itself. Helping fuel the others transformations by burning up their very existence to create magic.

Sol is the sun, he is constantly in a self induced deep sleep. He is a giant phoenix like dragon made of solar fire. People who aren’t part of certain religious cults prefer him being asleep. They pray he stays asleep. Please stay asleep. Some cults want to awaken the sun, surely this is a good thing. Feared and highly respected in equal measure. He is of day, fire, destruction, life, warmth, love, and grief

Gaia is the earth. She is a giant tree in the shape of a unicorn/deer. She gathered up what was left of the old earth in her roots and created the planet that exists now in their world. The old earths oceans are at the center of the planet. Great Lakes called capillaries/veins lead to the depths of the planet. Her roots lay here and are watered by the old oceans. Her leaves create the new atmosphere, dew drops create rain and snow, and her leaves and flowers are humongous. There is a type of giant bee that lives in her forest that lives specifically off of her pollen from her flowers. These bees are sapient creatures and highly respected as religious figures. Gaia bees are considered caretakers of Gaia herself. They are. She is of earth (plants and ground), death (return to the earth/soil), harvest, wind, protection, and karma/mercy

Illume is the moon, turning herself into stone to become the new light that guides you through the night. Able to meet people in their dreams, this is how she communicates with others. Missed the others. Regularly keeps Sol company in his dreams. He must be lonely. Used to be an astronomer and miss frizzle like science teacher. Loved teaching science and astronomy to others. She never thought she would become the night sky. She is of night, stars, light, darkness, dreams, hope, and guidance.

The fourth of Magic. They have been lost to time, their memory slowly misremembered, their body turned into Magic and thus everywhere and yet nowhere. Their heart and soul remain intact in the depths, keeping the world held together with Magic like duct tape. Their magic is everything and everyone’s. They ARE Magic. Their soul the beating heart of magic holding the world together. That means that their reincarnation will be born without a heart in their body. That’s hard to find out though isn’t it? They are time, space, chaos, order, and balance/harmony

Animal and plants with big religious significance-

Bees and unicorn/deer- Gaia

Sunflowers - Sol

Moonflowers- Illume

Phoenix- Sol and Magic

Trees- Gaia and Magic

I need to bring my fucking Brand™️ to the mdzs fandom and write an aro fic

[ravenatural]

I don’t think enough people ( particularly, among those who critique the ending of the series with the diamonds ) realize that the conflict in steven universe is about toxic and complicated familial relationships, and how the people who care about you can hurt you deeply. Like once you think of it in this lens I feel like it becomes pretty obvious that a lot of the stuff with the diamonds is an allegory strongly representative of harmful but complex irl family relationships.

( example: white diamond is basically the matriarch of homeworld, and she’s visually depicted as this ethereal, larger than life character, lending to the effect of an untouchable parent—and her literally being able to control other gems and actively doing so when defied is a direct tell of just what kind of parental figure she is. She only loses that scary quality to her once faced with the fact she was wrong, and is thus forced to confront that there’s a multitude of ways in which she’s fucked up—she realizes that reparations need to be made, even if she doesn’t quite get it, and is effectively neutralized as a threat. )

( But her effects aren’t just forgotten either, as we see in the movie that Steven is uncomfortable around her and the other diamonds—they’re affectionate, but not quite in a way that meets emotional needs, and they’re clearly trying but it just rubs the wrong way—and while she’s actively working on herself so as to never hurt anyone again, you see the lasting effects in SUF pretty clearly )

I don’t know, it just makes me sad that a story with so much love and care put into it got a completely undeserved bad rep, and I do wonder if that could have been avoided if more people had realized this about SU

I just hate your stupid face

This idea is so old, but I heard the song again today and I just couldn't help myself. I told myself that I would never write a songfic, but damnit, this song is literally just saiki. Like, look:

"Come on Saiki! Don't I at least deserve to know why you're avoiding me so much?

He grit his teeth, this little game had gone on for too long and it was time he ended it. If passiveness didn't work, he was just going to have to be direct. "… I just really hate your face."

Teruhashi rolled her eyes.

"Though I know that won't surprise you."

She flipped her hair and crossed her arms.

"But, to me, your skin is one giant wart"

She barked out a laugh, her skin was flawless, they both knew that.

"And your laugh's one big snort"

She glared at him for that one.

"And you stink, so in short,"

She gave him an unimpressed look.

"I despise you."

She looked hurt at that remark but otherwise bit her tongue. She swallowed thickly and then stood up straight managing to look down on him despite the fact that he was taller than her.

"You disgrace the human race," He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"'Cause you're more of a mosquito."

He crossed his arms as he watched her continue to try and come up with things to insult him with.

"I would rather have the dentist and drill," an eyebrow rose at the unfamiliar idea of what a dentist visit entailed, "Then this swine in the swill."

He clicked his tongue. "Are you done?"

"And if you were a bill, I would veto."

"Too bad."

"And if the world was perfect, you would be gone without a trace,"

He flinched at that one.

"But since the world could never be that great," She made sure to bump his shoulder as she walked away from him and the conversation, "I'll just hate your stupid face."

He clenched his hands at his side, unsure why his heart suddenly felt so heavy in his chest.

This is what he wanted right? For her to move on from him? But . . . hate? That's . . . that's more than he bargained for.

He shook his head and continued down the opposite end of the hallway.

Whatever, she'll forget she's even mad at me within a week.

This got to be really long, but you get the idea. I kinda chose the worst verse to start with, but it's giving enemies to lover vibes except their not enemies and Saiki just doesn't understand his feelings and is taking it out on Teruhashi but she is patient and has a good feeling that he likes her and if she continues to wait he'll realize it. She's right. Saiki just has to be a little stupid first, that's all. And if you know how the rest of this song goes, you know that I would eat the angst up. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner baby. Anyway, yeah. I have like 5 other projects I'm working on, so if I did this it wouldn't come out for a while. But! If there is interest, I will supply for the demand.

"Guess what I have?" Steve asks when Robin dumps herself into his car on Friday afternoon.

"Please tell me it's something edible," she groans. "I'm starving."

"Unfortunately not, but I can make us some pasta when we get to your place."

"I would love you forever," she says with her puppy dog eyes. No wonder he'd tricked himself into thinking he had a thing for her. She's adorable.

"You already do, dingbat."

"Yeah...well..." she trails off like she's searching for an argument to that point. "That's true," she says, giving up. "So what is it then?" She asks as she buckles her seat belt.

Steve reaches into the cup holder and pulls out the plastic card there.

"Oh shit! Is that my fake?"

Steve laughs. "It is indeed. Your name is Rowan Buck and you were born on January 10th of 1965."

"Eugh. A Capricorn."

"What in the heck is a Capricorn and what is your problem with them?"

"Oh puh-lease--don't act as though a Leo such as yourself doesn't read your horoscope on the daily."

"Okay fine, I know what a Capricorn is, broadly speaking. I still have no idea why you'd have a problem with them."

Robin shrugs. "I don't, really. Just thought it would be funny to say."

"You're hilarious," Steve deadpans.

"Okay, you say that like you don't think it's true, but need I remind you of 'I've laughed more this summer than I have in a really long time'?"

"I never said that."

"You did."

"Must have been an alternate version, then."

"Yep," Robin says, popping the 'p' with a smug little smile. "Also known as 'truth serum Steve.'"

"Ugh, whatever, fine: you're hilarious," he concedes.

"Thank you." Robin holds her new ID up to the light. "You're sure this will pass inspection?"

Steve shrugs. "I got it form the same person who did mine."

"Yeah, sure, but we're dealing with small town dives down here, not big city bar tenders."

"Yeah, actually, I think the fact that we're up against everybody-knows-everybody-itis in Hawkins makes is more impressive that my fake works anywhere. Also--I don't think Indianapolis really counts as a big city."

"Touche."

"So...tomorrow? Wanna try our hand at hitting up a gay club?"

"I'd love nothing more, Stevie."

How did I get here. well I know how o got here. My mom asking me to clean the bathroom because my cousins are coming and they’re gonna have it allll to themselves. And then I procrastinated and I can’t start and now it’s 11:19 pm but it probably won’t be by the time I finish this post. I have my headphones primed to blast music or whatever podcast I’m gonna catch up to this time (it’s Hey Riddle Riddle cause I’m already halfway through the backlog and I am NOT gonna start another whole new show with a whole new backlog.)

I’ve put my phone down twice since I started this post. I like my phone case. Pretty shade of purple with a built in pop socket to be a stand and handhold. It has two cracks. I don’t remember exactly how they formed- probably from dropping it. I mean it’s to be expected, I’ve had this phone case for a while. It was given to me on my birthday of last year. That makes a whole 13 months and 3 weeks I’ve had it and yeah I guess that’s normal.

I was gonna make this it’s own post but my younger sibling is making their own fan- wings of Fire continent with dragons like MagmaWings and StormWings and StoneWings and a super cool one called PhantomWings. They were showing me their stuff and then they said something that shook me to my core. “And there’s Queen Nimbus of the StormWings.” Can you fucking believe this???? They named the StormWing Queen after a cloud. I named myself after a cloud! They don’t even know I go by that online!

ok wow my dog just howled and that was a bit creepy cause I’ve never heard him do anything like that before. but WOW! Can you believe that my oh my god my phone just autocorrected a mistake between believe and that where I didn’t do a space into girlie w that. Amazing fantastic incredible.

I don’t know what this is. It’s now 11:31 pm and I’ve spent the last 12 minutes writing a dumb tumblr post instead of cleaning the bath room which is what I’m supposed to do. Okie bye

[abyssembraced]

I'm hesitant to outright promise anything, but I'm hoping to get to my owed replies sometime soon? At least the ones I owe for Ghost, anyway.

I'm also open to plot new threads for either Ghost or Rouxls! Admittedly, I'm not sure how much time I'll have to sit down and Discuss things this week, mind you, but I'm willing to give it a shot! Finishing my currently owed replies will have to take priority over writing any new starters or replies for new threads, though, since I've owed them for a frankly ridiculous amount of time and I feel really bad for putting them off for so long, but plotting and planning stuff is good!

My parents got me a cheesecake as my cake for my 30th birthday. I'm sitting here eating my second piece of it and thinking about the other time I had a cheesecake for my birthday.

On my 16th birthday, during the height of the recession, my parents were incredibly broke and we were struggling so hard. My mom's friend bought me the cheesecake and it was the only thing I got for my birthday. I got a piece and ate it happily but when I went back for another piece later that night it was all gone. My brothers, who I was practically raising at that point since my parents worked so much, had eaten the rest of it. Looking back I understand that we almost never had treats or sweets so my brothers didnt have any control because they literally didnt know if we'd ever have something like that again so they binge ate it. But at the time I was so hurt.

I cried and cried and my dad and brothers couldn't understand why I was so upset. It was my only present and they had eaten it all up with no regard for me and how hard I worked and what all I sacrificed.

Now, it's just me and my parents celebrating (I'll celebrate again later with friends so don't feel bad for me). Both my brothers are grown up and living their own lives but once again they've forgotten me. They didn't bother to come, or wish me happy birthday. This time I get to have my cheesecake mostly to myself, but I'm still incredibly sad.

DO NOT republish or translate+post my work!

"YAH! IT'S TOO COLD"

"SIT STILL! I JUST HAVE TO WASH IT OUT-"

"NO!!!! MOM!!! HEEEEEEELP-"

After wrestling your boyfriend like a cat taking a bath, you managed to wash the rest of the conditioner out of his hair and wrap his head up in a towel. You sent him to sit on the floor in the living room while you went to grab all your products from your bedroom. Once you returned, you were met with the biggest pout you've ever seen mixed with the nastiest side eye known to man. His head is almost completely wrapped up in a towel, minus the big circle where part of his face peeks out, and his arms are crossed sassily.

You couldn't help but smile and chuckle, shaking your head as you dropped the products and tools on the couch. You sit directly behind him, putting your legs on either side of his shoulders and leaning him into you. He shivers and your heart pangs a little, but you lean forward and wrap your arms around him and rub them soothingly. A quiet 'hmph!' comes from him and you laugh again.

"I'm sorry, baby. You said you wanted to do my hair routine just like me. And I always end it off with rinsing with cold water." Your fingers sneak into the hole in the towel and pull it back some, exposing his cheeks more as well as some of his wet hair. He makes the angry noise again and throws a small fit, turning away from you and tugging the towel back to its previous position in defiance.

You peck his cheek a few times and combine it with a mumbled apology. Then a small smile forms on his face and you start ruffing the towel, rubbing your hands back and forth and using it to poke fun at him while also starting to dry his hair off. Giggles erupt from the both of you as he drops the tough act and reacts to the ticklish feeling, his distinct giggle ringing through your ears in the best way possible.

Once you both have calmed down, and he's no longer feigning distress, you start to gently dry his hair. "I brought a mirror too." His hair is mostly dry and you grab your brush before realizing that Changbin's eyes have been glued to the show on TV. This was supposed to be a learning experience so you wanted him to watch, but it was also endearing to see him trust you so blindly that he resorts to iPad-baby tendencies.

"Are you gonna watch me do it so you can learn, or was this just an excuse for you to get pampered?" You tease, tilting his head back gently so he can look you in the eyes. He smiles apologetically and reaches for the mirror, "Sorry, Bunny. Got a little distracted hehe. I am your apprentice tonight! Teach away, Jagi." You smile widely and lean down again to place a kiss on his lips. One he reciprocates it before fixing his posture and placing the mirror in position.

He then lowers the television down and sits there patiently, allowing you to take him through the steps and using the mirror to peek at what your hands are doing. You start it off by showing him the products and explaining what they do and then tell him how you're supposed to use them, using a strand of his hair as an example.

Each step doesn't take long, thanks to the fact that he memorized the first few steps of your routine; the brushing and cream application. What you did explain was the styling techniques. He could have just left it as is and not done anything, or he could do what you do and finger-coil each strand.

He had seen how you slaved over your hair for over an hour each time you finger-coiled it and was dreading his experience to be similar to that. But thanks to how short his hair was compared to yours, it was a cakewalk. However, when he tried to coil one strand himself, his fingers did manage to get tangled in each other a few times... but you have to experience something to really learn from it! And the texture of the gel you used seemed to drive him crazy, but he got used to it eventually.

Then it was onto drying! You had brought out the diffuser attachment- or.. what Changbin called the "claws of death," for your hair dryer. He had seen you use it countless times before, but it looked like a jumbled mess of things from the outside and he never knew if there was a technique to it or if it was just random movements.

After teaching him the tips and tricks you used for extra volume and just how to diffuse his hair in general on a small section of his hair, you watched proudly as he dried the rest of his hair on his own with little to no problems. You did a dramatic reveal, wiggling your fingers and adding a "Tada~" when he looked into the mirror for the final time.

He stared for a while, eyes tracing the unfamiliar, defined curls on his head. They were pretty, and you have literally never seen his hair like that before. But what really made it worth it was his reaction. A big smile grew on his face and he turned to you, crawling up the couch to give you a big kiss. "Thank you, Bunny."

"Of course, baby. You look good like this." You smiled and admired your handiwork for a while until you remembered that today was supposed to be your wash day in the first place.

"Okay!! Time for me to wash my hair now." You peck him on the lips and playfully shove him onto the couch, running away after. The pitter-patter of his steps chases after you and he wraps his hands around you once the water is turned back on.

"Wait. I want to do it!" He smiles widely despite the unsure face you make. But he's your Binnie, so it's kind of hard not to cave in. You agree and resume the same position he had earlier, sitting on the tile with your neck resting on the edge and your head hovering over the big bowl of the tub. He steals another kiss before gathering your hair products and directing the water to your head.

"Don't worry, Bunny. I'm a professional at this~"

I have a question about the jp server pickups, since I really want knight Sebek, but I’m trying to save gems for bloom malleus + the 3rd tsum event that’s gonna show up sooner or later. Iirc, after knight Sebek, the next story update’s pickup had all of the previous story cards (ie cerberus Ortho, general Lilia, and knight Sebek). Is this true, and if it is, did it include a token system like the dorm pickups where you can just do 100 pulls and then buy the specific card you want directly? Because if that is how it works, then I can wait until then and be sure I won’t have to go to 200 for him.

we did indeed get a second chance at those three when 7-7 came out! I'm pretty sure there was not a token system -- though admittedly I don't 100% remember, sorry! 🙇 I took a quick search through some past posts/videos from people who tend to include the gacha and news stuff, but I didn't see any mention of it, so I'm inclined to think there really wasn't one. :( they were all separate pickups with their own pull counts rather than a combined one, if that info helps at all.

speaking as a strict f2p who hoards keys/gems like the lovechild of a dragon and a magpie, given the choice between saving for a story card and a birthday card, I'd go for story -- it does require a lot of patience, but there are way more opportunities to get past birthday cards, both from the anniversary events and the rerun pickups! tsums is a bit harder to say anything on because Eng doesn't follow the same event schedule, but it's a longish event and those pickups let you have a free 10-roll, so I think they're also a bit easier to save up for.

(ALSO speaking of free rolls, starting with the fifth round of birthdays -- the kutsurogi my room ones -- the birthday boy/union jacket/bloom cards have had a separate pickup that you can get two free 10-pulls at by doing missions! I got a bloom Jade from it a couple weeks ago. :D meanwhile general Lilia is the only story card I've ever managed to pull, so...I'm probably kinda biased. whoops.)

heyy, I’m new to landoscar so I wanted to request if it’s possible your like top ten favorite moments of their relationship? ❤️‍🩹

hi!! first of all, welcome to the land of landoscar, this is so exciting! i hope you have the best time and that you find a happy and safe space here with us all 🫶🏻

i was trying to think about my top10 moments and i realized i will lose my mind if i try to choose just 10, so i have decided i'll just yap for a bit and give you an indefinite number of them, i hope that's okay!

random-ish landoscar moment recap under the cut 👇

okay so even though i will not be doing a rank, the first one has to be the moment that made me go oh with these two, and that's the silverstone 23 handshake. they were babies and barely half a year into their partnership here. why is it so long. why does it keep going. what's with the eye contact.

honorable mention completed, here's a bunch of cute/fun landoscar moments (i'll try to give context or explain why i like them):

thanks to oscar -> it was lando's first win after 7 years in f1. in the debrief video he chose to thank oscar for giving him hope that the win was possible and it's very sweet because you can clearly tell oscar wasn't expecting it

thanks to lando -> the previous one brings its counterpart to mind: oscar thanking lando after the last race of their first season as teammates for welcoming him to the team. you can also tell that lando wasn't expecting that

box of lies -> probably my favourite video of theirs. in 2023 we used to get longish videos of them but in 2024, when they became much more comfortable around each other, mclaren's social media strategy changed and videos started getting shorter, so we couldn't really see them bantering that much. i love this one because i feel like it's the first time we saw them comfortably joking with each other for an extended period of time (and the video itself is very funny!)

oscar's lando fanboy era -> the lore goes deep here and i feel like inch's post encapsulates it all really well but basically oscar has been a fan of lando for years, even as far as liking random posts about him when he was 16, and it's all a bit insane

aquaplaning on pit entry -> another one of the very first landoscar moments that made me go oh, this time it's lando "taking care" of rookie oscar during a race 🥹

oscar helping lando with words -> this is SO important to me and also to their dynamic. i think it's worth mentioning that the 2nd clip in that thread (child passenger in your car) is a bit of an outlier, it was one of the first videos they filmed together and they were still figuring each other out; you can see that oscar "corrects" lando in a bit of a "mocking" way and lando gets a bit defensive/closed off. that's the only time that's happened, i think oscar figured out that that approach doesn't really work with lando and the rest of the clips show exactly that: now lando is so comfortable seeking oscar's help when he's stuck and oscar is always ready to help in the gentlest way

bday story -> this is dumb but also a bit crazy that the first year as teammates oscar's instagram story wishing him a happy bday was the only one lando reposted

silverstone fan stages -> key moments of the landoscar lore. silverstone 23 was a huge turnaround for their dynamic because for the first time it seemed like the mclaren was competitive and they achieved their first p2-p3 in quali and p2-p4 in the race (in the silverstone handshake mentioned before lando tells oscar he feels bad that he couldn't be on the podium with him). in the fan stage after the race they were all happy and oscar (!!!) took one for the team and put his hand around lando for a pic. this was A Big Deal™ at the time because they were still figuring each other out and they pretty much never did physical contact. lando's reaction to oscar's move is priceless, he was literally this emoji 😁 then the earth does a full lap around the sun, silverstone 24 comes around, these two are much closer and the mclaren is even more competitive than the year before. there's a point in the race were either of them could've taken the win. cue the biggest strategy disasterclass by mclaren humankind has ever seen. lando was devastated because he had had high hopes of winning his home race. so oscar decided to cheer him up and made them both do a shoey. the whole fan stage was very fun and they both left in a much better mood

gossip girls -> this is super random but i love it because it gives us a little peek into their natural relationship. it's also hysterical that their gossip sesh is interrupted by brad pitt of all people

ketchup debate -> another silly moment that makes me laugh because this is just two siblings bickering your honor

bahrain 24 interview -> this is another defining moment imo. first race of their second season as teammates and it felt like suddenly they were besties, oscar getting super close to lando and acting like his interviewer, lando interpreting "land of the piastri" as "lando the/di piastri"... it's a whole thing

f1 75 live -> this VERY siblings coded moment of lando shoving oscar, i just think it's adorable 😭

australia 25 -> we are now in the present and something's in the air. the aus gp weekend was a fever dream. we had oscar's contract extension followed by both of them acting like a married couple talking about how they're gonna grow old together. and whatever the hell this was. because why not.

anyways i'm gonna stop here because i have realized i could keep going for a worryingly long time and i fear this has already gotten way too long 😭

i hope this was helpful and let me know if you want me to do a part 2 or something 😊

Thank you sm 😭 you actually did so good! It felt so nice to see my favorite creepy boy with those head canons 🥹🥹 but yes your writing is absolutely amazing!! I can’t wait to keep seeing everything you write!! And I apologize in advance if I ever get too excited and request too much 🥹

Perhaps creepy boy relationship head canons with a fem!reader who attempts to steal their clothes because they miss them?

Laughing Jack, Eyeless Jack, and Hoodie x fem!reader who steals their clothes because she misses them!

went ahead and threw in some other characters that i think would be silly with this request since you didnt specify :3! was gonna add slenderman but im on the fence about whether or not his clothes are a part of his body.. shrugs!! feels weird not doing masky since im doing hoodie too but shrugs again laughing jack included as you state hes your favorite :3 and WAAAAH im glad you enjoyed the previous request!! and no need to apologize; i get it !! sometimes i get excited too with requesting stuff !! ill let you know if youre being too intense (though i gotta admit i love writing creepypasta stuff, had a longish break between august and now where i hardly wrote for it and i missed writing for the fandom loads TToTT)

EYELESS JACK:

honestly for a moment i was going to say his mask but i genuinely think that would be a deal breaker for him since it kind of acts as a comfort and security thing for him. even if hes not wearing the mask around you, dont take it. now his hoodie or one of his shirts... thats a different story.. would rather you ask him, though, but he does find it a little sweet that its because you missed him.. mind you he thinks so lowly of himself that he might even be a little shocked that you *miss him.. might let you keep on his shirts! might have to wash it though and patch up a hole or two but its nothing major.. though i dont think he would let you keep one of his hoodies, he has way less of those than he does shirts and he kind of needs them to keep warm.. also the hood comes in handy.. for things.. will expect you to return his belongings when asked, will not take any excuses since they are his belongings and he cant really waltz into a store and go shopping

LAUGHING JACK:

okay so this one is a little funny since i do personally hc that his clothes are just a part of his body for the sake of the post lets turn a blind eye.. theres so many options for you.. his shirt (sleeves! long and floppy!) or a spare sweater than hes claimed... hmm.. i think regardless of what piece of clothing you've taken from him he would be thrilled that you miss him THAT much! he rarely goes out, in fact i dont think its often that he goes far from where his music box is.. gotta stay in decent range, you know? but the point still stands... you miss him? i think that actually does wonders for his abandonment issues, since it reassures him that you care about him and think of him when hes away. probably scoops you up in his arms and hugs you, likely wrapping his arms around you like a snake. offers to never let you go, and kind of sticks true to that until you need to tend to your bodily needs

HOODIE:

another victim of jacket thief... a moment of silence for this man losing the thing that literally sparked his name.. okay jokes aside i dont think he would care that much, hes probably hoarded other clothing while staying with you; from hoodies to sweaters. so hes not going to sweat it if you briefly snatch something from him so long as you eventually give it back.. might sign some teasing words at you for missing him, might also prompt a session of you two cuddling.. good luck getting up because hes probably not going to let go.. why would he, you missed him! also might make him try to spend more time with you since every now and then he does have decently long periods of just. being gone doing whatever it is that he does.. probably leaves you his main hoodie and wears a different one when he knows hes about to dip for a while..

the thought of mithrun in traditional elven attire makes me go a little bit feral like ...

SPOILERS ❗️sorry I know you didn’t ask for this, but I wanna talk about it

Elf fashion looks kinda Greek/Roman inspired(I may be wrong idk) like flowy fabrics and.. toga-esque, almost But in history, togas were mainly worn only for special occasions I think. So I’m leaning more towards a chiton-like style. Ruching, pretty simple, pretty gender neutral.

Though we only see Mithrun in a flowy chitan-ish garment when he’s in rehabilitation post-demon.

His caretakers are all wearing white longish dresses/robes too, and even the tall-man is wearing robes. Get these guys like a fashionable belt or something, they need a pop of color

Otherwise he’s either in uniform or wearing high necked, long tunics, pants, and boots.

High necked collar (got that fancy embroidery ohhh he fashion)

Idk what to call this. A tunic? A dress? I think technically it’s a tunic. I like his boots tho I want them

Same here. He seems to cover his neck, even before the demon ate his desires. Though there’s an image of his brother wearing a similar high necked thing. Like us all, elves probably dress in many different ways, and Mithrun just preferred to be covered up. Covered up like… his heart… not willing to be exposed… hmmm

Sooo idk I don’t think we can pinpoint an exact inspiration for their clothing, it’s prob just a blend. The Canaries uniform, at least Mithrun’s, kinda calls to mind a pteruges, leading us back to the Greek inspiration theory

ANYWAY BACK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND

I would like to think that there’s a version of the canaries uniform that’s for formal events? Something without the uncomfortable spider silk stuff

Poor Mithrun, taking off his armor must feel like taking off a tight bra at the end of a day 😩 relief (not that he rly cares tho)

But anyway yeah it would be cool if they had formal wear, something without the armor but still signifying their position (the wardens are prob the only ones that would have it though) It’s canon that Pattadol and Mithrun have attended things held by the Queen so I wonder how they dressed….

As for traditional wear, I’d think it would just be fancier versions of the flowy outfits. Maybe add a nice fibula and another layer.. idk 🤷‍♀️
