[nomaishuttle]

[floral-hex]

going through old letters and cards today to see what I can throw away, mail I received when I lived in New York and never remembered to go through again until now, and I kept finding a) old school photos of my brothers, & b) letters my youngest brother wrote to me while I lived away from home, and… oof. I’m glad no one was around because I criiiiiiieeeeed so hard. Had to step away for awhile.

[2knightt]

CANT HOLD IT IN ANY LONGER!!! i’m utterly obsessed with the curtis brothers.

idk if u do this, but if u can, the curtis brothers with a reader who’s super down bad for them? they make it so clear, too. constantly doing everything for them, making food, buying snacks, just utterly everything. compliments, holding their hand religiously … yk.

୧ ׅ𖥔 ۫ you know i’m a fool for you. ⋄ 𓍯

…IN WHICH! you think the curtis brothers are the only men on the planet.

tags/warnings: swearing(on my end/once during dialogue.) reader being slightly overprotective or insane, mentions of reader getting hit on, mentions of reader leaving lip stick stains, me not knowing what to write for darry.

ೃauthor notes⁀➷ i’m using ny other accounts layout bc i can’t be bothered rn. also i’m here to feed y’all i’ve noticed the outsiders x reader tag is lowkey dry asl.

Ponyboy Curtis:

WOAH HE CAN’T HANDLE ALLAT😭

like actually. he is TWEAKING AT ALL TIMES! when you first like started complimenting him, showering him in kisses, giggling n’ shit—he thought it was a one time thing.

ponyboy just thought he’d have to thug that shit out once a week or something. he was, in-fact, pleasantly surprised when you continued to do it.

“you’re so-mwah-cute! i wish-mwah-i could-mwah-hold you forever!”

“y/n…😣”

he’s so flustered omfg like actually he’s beet red LMFAOOO. if you were to put your fingers to his forehead it’d be so hot. like ponyboy’s avoiding eye contact, his lips are tightened, etc.

if he were to stay the night at your place—you make him all types of food. like, food he’d never heard of. or food he’d dream about after eating bologna for a week,

“for me? …really?”

“mhm! c’mon, don’t let it get cold now.”

ponyboy is DIGGING RIGHT THE FUCK IN. okay he is SCARFING THAT DOWN. after he’d be a little embarrassed of how quickly he ate but like you just took it as a good thing.

thinks you’re the best cook ever tbh. gordan ramsey has nothing on you type levels.

going on a walk with him to go grocery shopping for the curtis house with your hands intertwined and letting ponyboy ramble about this annoying substitute he had!!! IT’S REAL!!! ALL OF IT!!!

“n’ then he tried to tell me my answer was wrong when i studied last night—I EVEN ASKED MY FRIENDS. so, i know it was right. i just think mr. johnson had a personal vendetta against me.”

“smh…i could do slash his tires if you’d like♡!”

“what”

“nothing.”

AWHHH PONYBOY FOLLOWING YOU AROUND THE STORE LIKE A LOST PUPPY BECAUSE HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO BUY LMFAO

he’d like holding your sleeve or the hem of your shirt as you walk around, looking more awkward above all else.

uwahh showering ponyboy in compliments late at night when it’s just the two of you, twirling his hair as you hold him closer!!!

“you’re hair is so pretty. it’s so soft…i dunno why you put grease in it. if i was you—i’d never let anyone touch it.”

“i don’t. i only let you.”

“…REALLY??🥰🥰😚😚”

ur friends are soooo sick of you talking about ponyboy LMFAOOOO like actually. every time you go, ‘omfg did i tell you guys, he-‘ they know to just let you mindlessly ramble.

“and then ponyboy read to me ‘til i fell asleep! he’s so sweet—i dunno how he’s real!”

“i dunno how you’re so whipped.”

“he must be the funniest motherfucker on the planet if y/n’s this obsessed.”

Sodapop Curtis

OHHH Y’ALL ARE AT A CONSTANT WAR TO SEE WHO’S GONNA BEAT THE OTHER AT BEING THE BETTER PARTNER LMFAOOO

HE’S usually the whipped one in the relationship…he felt both extremely lucky and threatened when you started attacking him with kisses…

“you’re so handsome. i’m just the luckiest person on earth—ain’t i?”

“…yeah…🤨”

“why’d you say it like that?😞”

“cause I’M the luckiest person on the earth…I’M supposed to be tellin’ you this…”

but as time goes on—he does take the loss and accepts you’re better at him. for now. it’s only a matter of seconds until sodapop thinks of something insane to show his love for you.

anyways! IMAGINE COOKING WITH HIM OHHHH NY GODDDDD /?:&$:&: he just mainly stands there and looks pretty as he asks what you’re doing but SHHH. HE’S MORAL SUPPORT.

“…what?”

“i’m chopping onions for the flavour, honey.”

“you don’t like onions, though?”

“i don’t like the crunch rather than the flavou—YOU REMEMBERED I DON’T LIKE ONIONS??☹️☹️”

“of course i would!”

gladly holds ur hand 24/7. i’m not kidding. you two are like super magnets. HEHEHE IMAGINE HIM DRIVING WITH ONE HAND ON THE WHEEL AND HIS OTHER HAND HOLDING YOURS!!/!2!

you do take him grocery shopping. only sometimes, though. he only buys junk food rather than actual food.

“can i get these? please?”

“you already have two bags of chips in the cart, soda.”

“okay..😣”

“SIGH…get them.”

“HURRAY!”

knows you can’t say no to him and that’s like the only time he uses it to his advantage.

soc’s do hit on you under the premise of ‘showing you how a real man is supposed to spoil a lady like you.’ HOWEVER, you look at them like they’re aliens.

“hey, baby. what’re you doin’ around here?”

“…EW.”

“???”

they’re shocked above all else as they see you turn away from them and quickly walk away without looking back. AND WOOO SODA IS SO PROUD.

Darry Curtis

the gang acts like you two are constantly fighting whenever you start to look at darry with that sparkle in your eyes.

“guys, PLEASE! YOU’RE BREAKING UP THE FAMILY! STOP ARGUING!”

“what the hell are you on about, soda?”

“you’re scaring pony!” “don’t bring me into this.”

“mind you’re own business, soda.”

AJDIEHJR DARRY HAVING A HAND AROUND YOUR WAIST AS YOU MUTTER SWEET NOTHINGS BETWEEN KISSINGS>>>

you two are a POWER COUPLE IN THE GROCERY STORE! EVEN IF YOU REFUSE TO LET HIM PAY AND HE GETS POUTTY! EVEN IF HE DOESN’T TAKE COMPLIMENTS WELL!

“y/n, please. these are for my house.”

“so?? my wallet was out first.”

“that doesn’t mean anything. baby, i’m telling you, i’m paying.”

“too late, i already handed the cashier the money.”

you cook and clean for the curtis’ to take something off of darry’s back out of the kindness in your heart and totally not because you want him to pay more attention to you!! NEVER!!

but you do enjoy the fact that darry has more time to sit down and pay attention to you! and darry really likes the extra time he has!!

“you didn’t have to.”

“yes i did! you’ve been so stressed out, it’s the least i could do for you.”

“you’re such a treat, y’know.”

“mh. only f’you.”

you FORCE him to hold your hand. sometimes he forgets that he’s supposed to hold your hand in public so do NOT BE AFRAID TO GRAB IT YOURSELF.

but once you do, darry is the last person to let go. maybe to wrap an arm around your hip—BUT THAT’S IT.

teehee leaving lipstick stains on his white t-shirt accidentally🫶🫶!! it’s all so real to me!! sure, darry’s a little annoyed but it’s okay! he can never be mad at you!

[animeomegas]

Yes yes! That addition of supportive sasuke was so cute! And the endless cockblocking or embarassing itachi moments are just too good to think about 😌

I present to you possibilities swimming in ny head ヽ(〃´∀｀〃)ﾉ

Imagine sasuke mentioning how, in front of everyone, when itachi is in his nest he mainly cuddles with crush's scented clothing (Maybe it's normal for friends to lend their clothing to their omega friends).

Or

Im imagining alpha being super good with kids, maybe thats why they were able to get sasuke to like them. Baby sasuke only allowing his parents, itachi, and 'Itachi's soon but not too soon alpha' carry him 🥺

No wonder why itachi fell hard, they just take care of everyone so well 😤 (maybe other omegas fell hard to for the same reason, but thats for itachi to worry about not us 👀)

Or

some cute scenerios where alpha is hanging out with little sasuke one on one and it just makes Itachi's heart melt into goo

Sasuke: "Nii-san! Im home!"

Itachi: "Welcome home sasuke, where were you all this time? "

Excited Sasuke as he's toeing off his shoes: "Reader helped me train my fireball jutsu and we ate dango after!"

Itachi: "Ohh, thats wonderful ☺️"

Alpha patting sasuke's head: "Go on, wash your hands before eating dinner"

Alpha looking at Itachi: "Sorry, I should've told you he was going to be late via a crow or something, but it was pretty spontaneous on my part. I just ran into him while he was walking home."

Itachi: "It's alright... would you like to join us for dinner? Since you're here and all? Mother made soba. 😊"

Alpha: "I would be happy to, but I'm not the most hygenic right now, since i didnt get a chance to go home and clean up yet. Thanks anyway, maybe next time :)"

Itachi: "You can get cleaned up here, i can lend you stuff to wear."

Alpha: "Oh nice, thanks so much! Then I would love to join you all for dinner. I haven't spoken to your parents in a bit with all the long missions lately. Its nice to see you too itachi :D

Oh, and before I forget. Here. Some treats from the dango stand, for you and your parents, I made sure to get your favorite."

Itachi trying not to combust: "Thank you and... welcome home reader :)"

Alpha ☺️: "It's nice to be back~"

And if itachi slightly scents the clothing he lends alpha, thats for him to know and think about later.

When itachi and alpha finally get together, its a certified party of 3 inside the nest. Because why would sasuke sleep in his own room when the warmest and safest spot is between Itachi and his alpha! Only pg 13 things happening in this house!

Itachi can't do anything about it because rules are rules. You can't wake up two cute things from their nap, especially if they are huddled together. Its against the laws of the universe.

Anyway, sorry for my rant and I hope your arms get well soon!

Sasuke outing Itachi's nesting habits would be so funny! 🤭 Poor Itachi though, he didn't realise that his brother had noticed the prime position of his crush's hoodie in his nest. He contemplates banning Sasuke from his nest as a punishment, but he doesn't actually have the heart to follow through.

Itachi would definitely fall in love with a caregiver alpha though. Also, if they knew each other since children, Sasuke was a notoriously picky baby about who he let hold him, so being given the green light for alpha to hold him makes Itachi trust them a lot.

It's honestly so cute if Sasuke loves Itachi's crush, and it makes Itachi so happy to see! Even if happy Sasuke is just as much of a cockblock as angry Sasuke XD

Thank you for your ask, I loved it! And my arms are slowly getting back to normal <333

Scouse

Viscount Montgomery Brian Epstein’s personal assistant Barry Leonard quit his job ‘because the strain of managing the Beatles is just too great’. In an article in the Daily Express Leonard told about his experiences with the Beatles. Among other things, he said Paul wanted to leave the group and was trying to lose his Liverpool accent. As the Beatles gathered at the office of their accountant, Epstein mentioned the story to Paul. ‘Barry says you are trying to lose your accent,’ he said. ‘Couldn’t,’ muttered John, as he examined a likeness of the Beatles fashioned in papier mâché.

(Love Me Do. The Beatles Progress by Michael Braun, 1963/1995)

Part (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII)

After a short interview in which they sound like they're putting on Liverpool accents (particularly Paul and John), 'and now their new single Love Me Do'. 'FANTASTIC…turn it UP!' (I shouted in my head). That's my brother…my bloody brother!…My head's exploding…'so ple-e-e-se love me do'.

Photo by Mike McCartney <…> I dashed back to Forthlin to tell Dad I'd seen our Paul on the TELLY and then waited for Paul to come home to see if he'd changed at all. By the time he eventually got in, Dad and I were in bed but I was still awake. The conversation probably went like this: 'Psst…here you.' 'Is Dad asleep?' 'Of course he is, it's past two o'clock.' 'We were celebratinh. Did you see it?' 'Yeah it was gear, it really was.I had to watch it in a bar down from Bernard's, but it was fabulous.' 'Could you see the velvet collar?' 'Sure, you could see everything.' (When the decision to 'go commercial' and buy suits instead of the cool Hamburg leathers was reached, mainly by Brian, Paul had smoothed over the shock by saying, 'But ours are different from anybody else's…ours have got velvet collars…look.' As the cardboard box lid was lifted and the white tissue paper unfolded to disclose the dark blue 'Dougy Millins' tailor-made suit, sure enough, the highly polished, trouser creased, mohair suit was topped with a black velvet collar.) 'But why did you talk like that on the TV? It sounded like George gone wrong…you don't talk like that.' 'I know that, you know that, but they don't know that…It's part of the image…' 'Monkey suit and phoney accents?…anyway it worked, it was fantastic.' 'Gear, I'll be off then, ny nyte.' 'Nigh-night…psst can I have your autograph?' 'Sod off.'

Interviewer: Are you going to lose some of your Liverpool dialect for the Royal show? Paul McCartney: No, we don't all speak like BBC

(Interview 16th Oct 1963, befor the Royal Variety Charity)

We went to London to party. I always tell this story, it happened pretty much like this. The week before Merseybeat broke up here [in London], or a couple of weeks before, I was just with my friends, and you were at a posh party, and they'd come up to you [adopts 'posh' voice] 'hi, how are you?' 'Great, thanks.' 'My name's Peregrine, and this is Cecilia…' 'Oh, great, hi.' 'Where are you from?' 'Oh, Liverpool…' 'Anyway, Cecilia, you said…' And they just turned their backs on you, because it was so simple - you were useless to them, useless. Anything north of the Cape was the hinterland, the jungle. So they couldn't care less. And then, a week later, Merseybeat suddenly goes 'bang!' He goes down to London before he conquers America and the world… and it's the same party, "Oh, I'm Sebastian, this is Claudia, what's your name?" "I'm Mike." "Where are you from?" "Liverpool." "Liverpool, oh my God, guys, come here, look, these guys from Liverpool, it's just wonderful." And then they'd do a Liverpool accent, and that's why it always came out Brummie [Birmingham], because they couldn't do a Liverpool accent. So, yeah, you were a nobody, and suddenly everything changed.

more AU visdev shenanigans because I have both a problem and am trying to trick myself into doing visdev for my actual  projects

my tmnt au (where everyone made it past their 20s, splinter’s alive just old, venus is here, and they deserve some goddamn respite and shenanigans)

tmnt au part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5

tmnt au omake 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

lny visit 1 | 2

AU musings under the cut cuz truly, i have a goddamn problem and most of it is from my brain always go brr

uhhh... hm... Mirage spoilers pmuch right out the gate... probably IDW, and prrrrobably Next Mutation spoilers for the kids who haven’t started/caught up because surprise that’s where I pull from (aside from the 87 cartoon and 90s movies because who doesn’t pull mainly from their childhood turtles)

April being into punk, goth, alt, what have you just makes sense to me

...because she gravitated to the outsider nature of those subcultures since she, herself, didn’t feel like she quite belonged anywhere

which is natural when you’re a drawing made real

(it’s fine, she’s flesh and blood now)

shout out to poly styrene, april loved her

keeping them short kings just like my childhood turtles

Jennika absolutely comments to Donnie if he’s found any good cheese in any walls lately

god i hate plowing through the first couple of passes of a design

alas, the process

Venus ended up being dressed in hanfu since other clothes didn’t fit her quite right; a specific group of old women were ecstatic at breaking out hanfu patterns to use.

Chung I doted on Venus so much, the only thing that kept her from becoming spoiled was when she started taking up cultivation alongside Chung I and his sect

nothing more humbling that carrying 3 buckets of water up a steep mountain side while your sifu hurls mystic blasts at your feet

Venus progressed pretty quickly though; enough to be trusted with plans to circumvent Vam Mi’s return and reconnoiter with the sect’s allies in NYC

(it didn’t work but it’s okay they defeated Vam Mi anyway)

shit now I have to come up with a name for the sect hhhhh

Chung I’s sect is one of ?? who, like the ninja, have a responsibility (among others) to regulate the mortal plane with the less mundane ones

Venus IS training to serve in his role (give or take one of her brothers or sisters being bestowed the responsibility)

hmm... Venus likes keemun tea best if she has the choice, and for soup... oxtail soup and black sesame soup

and because it was fkkn metal in Next Mutation, Venus is primarily a pugilist who occasionally uses her cultivation techniques ; she trains a little with a fan when she gets to weapons training but she prefers the spear (link has blood and some real violent fighting but fuck Fog Hill is fucking siiiiick)

...a nickname Venus gains is ‘the spear fairy’ ‘cuz i’m indulgent :)

the supernatural side of NY was already getting antsy and unruly when Venus arrived so of course she and the boys ended up fighting upon first encounter

The fight happens after hours at a local walk-around market; Raph barges in and Venus fishes around for something that isn’t the requisite staff she was saddled with before setting out (because she knows how to deal some damage with it and she wasn’t about to do that to complete strangers she didn’t know the alignment of)

she ends up using a mannequin; one arm came off so Venus attacked with that and defended with the upper part of the mannequin; Raph was getting outmatched while Mikey and Donnie were laughing in increasing volume

at a certain point Leo tried to intervene but Venus assumed it was a double team, ripped the other arm off the mannequin and defended with both against Raph and Leo; eventually her hood was flipped and they saw she was a turtle so cue Venus using the opportunity to get them both on the ground and about to smash the now armless mannequin torso onto Leo and Raph before Donnie called for a truce

at which point, as is established, Mikey quipped up at the scene, “I call this... ‘Venus de Milo, triumph over dorkus maximuses’”

Leo DID try to address her by her actual name but his not-quite-right tone made her pity him and insisted he just use Mikey’s new nickname

Venus absolutely asked why the boys were running around half naked when she came across them; they didn’t have an answer they just shrugged and let Mikey change the subject with asking if she’s tried NY pizza yet

Venus is ambivalent in the end, she knew humans wore clothes since their bits are just ...like, out there dangling around; the yaoguai around her also dressed and thought they were just adhering to the custom out of simple consideration

Venus eventually gears up like the boys to help hide her mission from the sect trying to resurrect Vam Mi

Leo gives Venus a spare mask of his; it came from a bin of incorrectly dyed masks when he was attempting shibori dye experiments

Mikey was so enthusiastic about it, having only known April at the time he asked if he could try out braiding her mask tails since Leo didn’t bother tailoring it after he botched the dye job

Splinter helps Venus make contact with her sect’s allies ala Rescuers Down Under

NM!Venus canonically knows how to pick locks why not in this AU too

The boys take Venus to the library one night, Donnie pleads for Venus to break into the reference shelves, stoops to fibbing a little that information she might find handy could be in those shelves (they weren’t)

A hilarious exchange happens between April and Venus when Venus cycles through like 3 dialects and 2 languages before finding out April speaks Canto; Venus starts calling April Ah ze, in kind April calls Venus Ah mui

hmm hmmm... still torn between April meeting the boys once as little kids then running into them again when she’s an adult or having her meet them as little kids but connecting a little earlier, 1-2 years from graduating HS

mostly just cuz I wanna have this AU April taking them to GWAR concerts so they can enjoy being out without getting clocked 

Casey and Raph absolutely dressed as the Bash Brothers for a couple of halloweens

I like the idea of Casey thinking of himself as the fifth turtle brother because it’s sweet, thassit AU canon it is done

I feel like Jennika probably ran into April and Casey at separate music venues; befriended Casey first tho

Jennika spent two years in China with Venus, getting her handle on her new turtle body; when she came back she nearly cleaned out 3 thrift stores and basically commandeered a portion of Donnie’s lab for almost a year to tailor clothes for herself

Donnie basically made himself a mini-clothing manufacturing  factory by salvaging and rebuilding embroidery, pattern cutting, and industrial sewing machines

Jennika and Mondo have jam sessions

The brockhampton parody in this AU is northbrockton, Jennika and Mondo are rotational members

Mondo can speak hawaiian pidgin, he speak liddat when he go an talk story with Mikey ova some grinds, Mikey also starts picking it up

 Mondo sometimes refers to Mikey as Braddah Honu

One of the stolen waste/mutagen barrels from That Night rolled and got shunted conveniently to a desolate lot where it leaked for years

Mondo came across it looking for a place for his band to jam without getting interrupted, pop goes the lizard mutation

tl;dr a video of urban explorers stumbling on it got onto Mona’s feed (and I’m smudging her original start as a physicist to a biophysicist) and since she’s a can do sort of girl she goes to check it out herself before reporting it to the proper organizations-- bam, mutant lizard Mona Lisa rip

that same video came across on one of Donnie’s feeds, Raph’n Mikey go to investigate and come upon a distraught lizard Mona Lisa; Mikey uses her assumption they were also originally human to bring her back to the lair and get her calmed down

god it’s so messy, thankfully Splinter, Leo and April are far better at helping Mona come to grips with her mutation, Donnie helps out in setting her up to survive the first couple months of transitioning between her old human life to navigating her mutant one

For me, she’s now Mona Lisa Saperfeld purely for this exact reference link

Raph and Casey also get the occasional treats from the local bodegas, but for running off extortionists and other assorted dipshits with too much time an not enough supervision

Jennika, Mondo, and Mikey are constantly replacing each others’ high scores in Guitar Hero and DDR in Donnie’s arcade

When Donnie, Casey, and Raph are left in the garage for too long... they end up making the weirdest shit (link to a Handy Geng playlist, a dude who makes funky inventions)

[wttt-dirus-work]

sorry if these have been answered already-

1. Do you have a “gov” character for canada?

2. Which province/territory is the florida of canada? ;)

3. Which us states does quebec like(if any?)

also as a fellow canadian i love the concept of your blog :)

Hey! I'm glad you like my blog ^^

1- I do have a canadian version of gov right here!

Her name is Cana, and she's stubborn and about as useful as the Fed is lol. She seems unassuming, but that's what she want; she has a no nonsense attitude, and believe herself more competent than she actually is. She doesn't realize (or refuse to) that the provinces and territoies (specially Québec, BC and Northwest) obey by principle; they know they could do as they wish, but choose to obey most of the time.

The character Kall me Kriss did what International Canada, which is the Canadian version of IDC.

2- I think, mainly for how the west province see Québec, she'd be Canada's florida? As in they mock the people or plainly dislike her (I think the best comparison would be California).

But the Provinces doesn't have the same chaos filled being than florida does, and the terrirories mainly mind their own business so yeah

3-In my own little universe, she and the Northeast have brunch together.

Maine and her are a lot like found family, she got a love-hate relationship with Mass, she consider Vermont, New Hampshire, RI, the Carolinas and Georgia as siblings/cousins; QPR with NY and NJ and her got "It's complicated".

She have a history with Louisiana, which I dive more in this fic, and Alaska is like her little brother who got bigget than her, also explained in here.

I do believe she'd get along with Flo, and California too; she would probably be one of the people able to bring him back to earth.

See ya!

Would you be willing to give more baby Con angst if it's not annoying 🙏

NY, NJ and Mass brotherly fluff hcs would also be nice 🫣

No pressure ofc ♥️

My brain cannot think of any babey Con angst, but I think I can do the NJ/MA/NY brother hc's!!

•They all have alot of nightmares, mainly revolving around the same thing (Rev War, England), so they'll often have cuddle sessions (mainly in York's room cuz it's the comfiest)

•both York and NJ have service dogs (seizure alert dogs (NJ) and emotional support (NY)) and Mass has an emotional support cat.

•both Mass and NJ have lists of pescatarian-friendly recipes for York, and regularly send him new recipes to try. He's very grateful even though he acts like it's annoying.

•NJ doesn't basically survive on caffeine, but York and Mass do. So uh. He's always checking up on them if he thinks they've been drinking too much caffeine.

•York loves to play scary games, and Mass and NJ love to watch him literally screech at every little thing.

•All their self esteems suck ass, so they always make sure that they all feel loved and appreciated.

•York is the baby of them, and he gets treated as such. It just uh. Depends on the day. Get Spartan kicked into another universe or get hugs and cuddles all day? Let's find out!

tldr basically: (mentions of drug overdose, childhood trauma and abuse)

growing up in the italian side brooklyn, asher was the oldest with a lot of responsibility thrust upon him very young.

his father instilled a work ethic in him that was unlike any other - like a workhorse, he was up and at them early mornings in his mother and father's restaurant, primarily his mother's family's restaurant, washing dishes, scrubbing, getting new orders in, learning the business because he had to.

his father, johnny, was heavily involved with the gang life and from early on, asher was never shielded from much. he saw heavy violence when he went with his family to his serpent meetups, and his father always told him that one day, he would get involved in that life too.

he and his father always had a strained relationship - mainly because they were very different. asher wanted to listen to his records from a young age, cook with his mother in the restaurant and was more into motorcycles, art, music rather than the brutal side of gang life. that being said, asher had a temper like no other growing up - all learned from his father.

his father wanted him to be the perfect son and eventual gang member. he wanted him to be a strong bull, a man amongst men, but no matter what he did, asher disappointed him which led to beating after beating to toughen him up. asher only cried and got upset as a young kid - as he turned thirteen and got older, he never let his father get the best of him.

his respite, for him, was music and his siblings. the moment his baby brother, vincent, was born, things changed. when he became a big brother, he understood what real, honest love was, because he would do anything for vincent. they were best friends, throughout their entire lives - and vincent was his father's favorite. an attractive, beautiful boy, smart as a whip, charming - there was nothing that vincent couldn't do. things got even better when madelyn aka maddie was born, their little baby sister and asher felt like he had to be the best big brother in the world.

the pressure of the life got to vincent though - and asher saw that. it wasn't until vincent was around sixteen that he got heavy into the drug scene and it killed asher to see. this was his baby brother and it broke his heart to see the cover ups, the glazed look in his eyes. asher had no tolerance for drugs and would always be vincent's first call, and of course asher would come running - but still furious as hell after vincent sobered up and promised he would stay sober.

it was a battle for years - until the dreaded day came. asher was still unhappily being his father's sidekick - when he got the call late at night that his beloved little brother had overdosed at the side of a club at the age of 21. every muscle in his body, every single muscle, went completely numb. he couldn't believe it and couldn't stop running until he got to the club and pushed through to see.

vincent's death was a blower the brooks family really couldn't deal with well. olivia, his mother, poured herself into the restaurant and his father grew even more abusive and horrible toward asher, insisting that it was his fault that it had happened. the fights that would ensue got worse and worse - and one night, a horrible night about two years after vincent's death, johnny brooks was found dead in a fire that erupted in an abandoned warehouse in queens. no one knew how or why, but asher was always told it was gang activity.

now two years since his father death, four years since his brother's, asher is living the life that he finally wants to live. when vincent died, he got his money in order from working at the family restaurant and odd jobs to finally open his own record shop, a dream he had told vincent over and over again.

the record shop is called echo chamber in brooklyn and it is a vintage record shop for all types of genres. still though, asher is home all the time to return to the restaurant and take care of his mother and baby sister, maddie, who is five.

he's a family boy, and it wasn't until recently that going through his dad's things, he saw a text message saved under a woman's name he had never heard of before and there it is was. hey johnny - you have a son. here he is, jason. and there was a picture of a young boy and picture of the birth certificate. to think that asher had another younger brother out there thrilled and terrified him - and he was shocked to find out he lived right in new york too.

it was no surprise - his father was a playboy, a bad guy, but when asher told his mother, she wasn't surprised either. it was something that asher thought about for a while, to go and meet him, to find out about him. they were half brothers after all, but it felt disrespectful in some way, to replace him - now that vincent was gone.

still though, asher is all about family and he wants to know his brother - as well as join the gang that he is in, very much interested as a prospect for the ghost riders.

May we have some NY and NJ hc’s? Like- stuff that they do together and how they act with each other? 👁️👁️

*its fine if not*

Hehe I was super excited to do this one but sadly I do things in order of oldest to newest BUT none the less, here you go, our favorite stupid bastards

New Jersey and New York-

Jersey likes to cuddle and York likes receiving cuddles, so it isn’t uncommon to find the two together in the North living room

Jersey = Jer-bear, York = Yorka-doodle, they never call each other these in front of others

They go skating a ton, early morning public skate and public hockey are mainly what they do

Always fighting when it comes to certain foods, specifically pizza and bagels, otherwise they are perfect with each other in the kitchen

Jersey sends York stupid stuff from Tumblr, York does the same but with Twitter

Impromptu sleepovers in York's room happen a lot, York has sleep problems and as said before, Jersey cuddles, win win sitch

They fight, a lot, technically it’s just arguments but to pretty much everyone except the NE, it sounds like fighting (granted the NE sometimes thinks they are genuinely fighting but shh)

“Murder is illegal”  “You can’t murder people it’s rude” etc. are said whenever they are in the city

Despite not talking to each other for about 40ish years, they went right back to how they were before, if just a bit closer

They both fake hate each other, for no reason other than seeing the shocked faces of the other states while they simply cook breakfast together

Just Dance Night (the other states get flashbacks when ever they hear the Just Dance intro)

They like to just exist in the same space, doesn’t matter if they are doing two completely different things, they’ll continue to hang out VIRGINIA

They bet on everything, who will get to the table faster, who will make breakfast the quickest without messing up, everything

They always think to message the other first when something is happening, doesn’t matter if the sitch doesn’t really need the other, they still will

Since Jersey still speaks fluent Dutch and York has his broken messed up Dutch that Jersey understands, they will ‘gossip’ to each other in front of the other states

When they do that, they are really just talking about dinner plans and what movies they should see, but in the most condescending and judgmental tone they can

Movie dates, any movie whether they think it’ll be good or not

They sometimes come of as very big and little brother coded, York being the older while Jerseys the younger, when in reality it’s switched

Jersey finds it hilarious whenever people think he and York are dating, they aren’t, they consider each other brothers and technically are, York always wants to kill the people who do think they are dating, “Murder is Illegal Yorkie” he doesn’t care

Family dinners are once a month with Jersey’s moms and occasionally not, father, father, and York's grandparents

They have so much dirt on each other that if one says something so will the other, you know the nuclear deal between America and Russia? Yeah it’s basically that but with blackmail

If one’s sick the others clingy, if one's sad the others clingy, if one-

They like to dance with each other, even if there’s no music (it’s mainly spinning without music though)

Jersey has bad English days sometimes, so York will translate, on those days they tend to just haul up in York's room and put on a random Hockey game

ok, who is your favorite city to write about? (or cities, if you can't choose) and what are your favorite headcanons for them?

also, if you headcanon the state they're in as their parent, do you think they have a good parent (or parents)?

:D

My Favorite cities to write for are Chicago, NYC, Houston, and Austin! Ty for asking

My favorite Chicago & NYC HCS as siblings is basically what ive said in the past but

Younger sister chicago, big brother NYC brainrot.

Chicagos best friends are Wichita (The one in kansas) and Texarkana!!

NYC just hangs out w his cousins (mainly the maine, mass, and jersey kids)

Chicago loves people, which is why so many people end up missing after she comes home crying from a bad date. (NY and his mini are a terror to the streets proffesional gardeners.)

Friends with Houston and Austin soley because Houston will NOT leave them alone and the vibes are off without her now. Austin bcs HTX and ATX are a package deal.

I think Illy and York are great parents, and their kids talk to them openly about most of their problems.

Houston and Austin (outside of sys hcs, they have their own bodies.)

People constantly assume austin is older bcs hes taller than houston. And cuz hes the capital

Houston will crash capital meetings bcs "she was capital FIRST"

Houston likes to climb people. Which if you ship Texlaska, is wonderful for the big guy /s

Houston loves to commentate on anything and everything. When shes bored she'll sit in on meetings and fan the flames.

Austin tries his best to be nice to the youngest of the trio, Dallas, but Houston is lowk a bully. (Its ok tho bcs dallas is a little asshole.)

These two are at the center of a lot of chaos involving the cities. Houston likes to organize schemes and plans.

Texas is a good parent, but he for sure has his moments. He wasnt always the best parent, but his kids are comfortable enough to hang around and annoy him, and hes working on being more involved and keeping his promises. (He needs to work on his expectations and not letting his values affect how he treats his kids)

BG3 AU: Circle of Decay Headcannons

AN: Okay yeah so it officially has a name now (instead of "Halsin's Daughter" I got so tired of it) and guess who requested a signed up for AO3.

I will 100% be working on this and I can't even wait for AO3 to get back to me 😭 meanwhile I'll be taking some creative writing classes to help ❤️ and will also be doing research (I'm new to DND and BG3 but I want to do this justice)

Anyways here are some more headcannons at 2:22am bc I can't sleep

So I know Halsin eventually creates a community within Moonrise Towers, he literally builds a schoolhouse as well - ny thought is there is no way he's able to take care of 9 wagons of orphans by himself. He has to have some help

So there's this older half elf named Gretta, who helps Halsin around the orphanage (is it an orphanage? He's basically adopted all of them. Idk. His house?? The children's home?)

Obviously, there are more people in the community who come and help / this community thrives on sharing skills and goods rather than money

I think Gretta and her little one would live in the towers - that way her family has a roof over their heads and Halsin has constant help

Gretta can mainly be found in the kitchen cooking meals. She just has a mother's touch ❤️

Everything she makes is amazing, baked goods are her speciality

Faeryl loves food. She never got enough of it in the underdark.

Gretta spends most of her time smacking Faeryls hands away from the pastries

The two actually get really close; she eventually teaches Faeryl how to bake

If Faeryl is gonna stay with her dad and learn his druidic ways - he's gonna make her work and do her part 🤷‍♀️

Although Halsin is an amazing father - he has trouble with Faeryl.

She's not a child but she's definitely not an adult either

Gretta does give him some parenting advice: "Those 3 girls will be a challenge, Halsin. I know how frustrating it can be - when my daughter that age, not a day went by where we weren't bickering. They think that because they've hit a certain number in age and suddenly they're an adult and know how to navigate the world. The problem with Faeryl is that - there was never a time in her life where she was able to be a child. She had to grow up as soon as she could to survive. The same goes for Arabella and Mol. I think since they've been here this is the first time they've ever allowed themselves to live care free, to play, to explore the world without it trying to murder them every step of the way. Give them time. Give them space. They'll love you all the same as much as you love them"

Gretta is the first one to notice that Faeryl keeps visiting Dammon while he's on his monthly visits in town

One day Faeryl is ill. She can't stop vomiting. The smell of certain foods trigger her.

Halsin notices that something about her smells different/ is different. He has suspicion. But he plays it safe and asks Gretta to check on her

Gretta brings her warm broth to her chambers and notices that Faeryl seems. . . Swollen. Her face, her hips, her breasts

"Faeryl, when was your last blood?" In her gentlest voice as she's brushing her hair out of her face. Gretta already knows what's happening

Faeryl starts SOBBING. She can't have this child right now. She still has her mission to do and her child would never be safe so long as her brother continues to search for her

She knows that he would rip the babe out of her, against her will. The child would be a Fey'ri - with noble drow blood /infernal blood. She's sure that her brother would dispose of her and take the child

Although in normal circumstances Halsin would be elated to have a grandchild - he finds himself in a whirlpool of emotions.

When it's time for the babe to be born I 100% think Gretta would be helping her deliver and Halsin would be there holding her hand.

Literally - the thought of him holding his new born grandchild 🥺 he doesn't care what it is

That's all I have for right now 🖤 if you want more context and info about the "Circle of Decay" AU please click the link below!

CASSANDRA WESTWOOD        

         — hide behind your smile.

You may think you don’t want to throw your life away for mere fleeting euphoria. But, once you get a taste, it doesn’t feel so mere. From then on the planet becomes a waiting room. The rest of your life devolves to no more than the time between highs.

                              STATS ● BIOGRAPHY ● WANTED

Cassandra Westwood, 45, Oak Gardens, Unemployed

From Long Island, NY, bisexual, arrived late June 2024

Cis woman, she/her, married, mother of 2 boys (and Micah)

&. — the story.

infidelity tw

I did everything right, how did it go so wrong?

Life in the suburbs outside of the big city of New York was idyllic for a good sized family that was looking to raise their children in a more wholesome environment. Cassandra, the middle child, often slipped through the cracks and seemingly went unnoticed. Up against a popular, charismatic older sister and something of a sports star younger brother, Cassandra seemed to just be there. The dream was to be a lawyer or a doctor, someone of substance, she wanted to make a difference. It was Vivian, her older sister, that was destined to be the trophy wife. Paul, her younger brother, seemed destined to be some small town girl’s ticket out of town. She was the dutiful one that always had her chores done and aced all of her classes in school. Where Vivian wanted designer jeans, dresses, and shoes, Cassandra wanted to look good in a blazer.

When she made it out of Long Island, the Huntington area to be specific, Cassandra went on to paralegal studies in the city. An apartment with a few friends was shared and for a while she enjoyed life in the city. It was a time for finding out life on her own and discovering who she was, and once she received her certificate she began working at a law firm in Manhattan — Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. The independence she had found for herself was short-lived as not long into her employment at the firm she’d met Saul Weissberg. A man, who, in her opinion, was a rising star and hot shot of the firm. For whatever reason he’d taken a liking to her and after one date they were completely hooked on each other.

The difference when Cassandra dated Saul from previous boyfriends was that they had found a solid foundation of friendship within their courtship. Even though she never really said it aloud, it was kind of fun being the fresh out of college girl dating one of the firm’s brightest and most promising. In a lifetime of feeling overlooked, Cassandra was seen. One year after they’d met, she and Saul got married in a church, despite him being Jewish and neither conforming to either’s religion. It hadn’t really mattered what effort her new husband had made to appease and please hr parents, they never approved and always found something disappointing to pick at. Cassandra never could quite get to the bottom of what it was that her family, mainly her parents, didn’t like about Saul.

I don’t know, honey, he’s just not the guy for you.

At least, that much, her mother may have been right. Before that realization could come to light, Cassandra had been really happy. Even if she’d always seen Vivian in the place rather than herself, being the stay at home wife and taking care of a man’s child from a previous marriage, she enjoyed designing home and providing care for her husband and small family. As a young woman who had her own dreams it had been surprisingly fulfilling. It could’ve been the honeymoon phase of love, or it could’ve been the promise in her head and heart of family. If she started her own then she couldn’t disappear into it. As time went on and Saul grew in his career so did his time away from their family life and marriage. It got lonely, and even though Cassandra had Micah to look after, her step-son, she wanted her own children as well. Most of the time she chalked it up to timing, that it wasn’t just right yet and she was young still. Perhaps she’d given up her secretary and paralegal job at the firm to prematurely.

When her husband made partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, Cassandra assumed that would be the big change, and it was, just not in the direction she had thought. Suddenly, the housewife was thrust into the glamorous world of Manhattan’s elite, part of the society and social scene. It was fun, for a while, she wasn’t upset about all the pretty things she’d then had, but at the end of the day it was all material. Still, Cassandra didn’t put up a fuss or fight because Saul being happy was most important to her. That worked, until it didn’t, and everything that Cassandra felt she was missing out on weighed too much on her chest and shoulders. Not being able to have children and a family turned out to be a deal breaker and her mama got to tell her I told you so.

Is there life out there? So much she hasn't done. Is there life beyond her family and her home? She's done what she should, should she do what she dares?

Post divorce, exactly 9 years after marriage, the papers were finalized and Cassandra found herself in another man’s home. Never had she considered herself a hot commodity, but when she and Saul had separated finding a new love hadn’t been challenging. He was in finance and she clearly hadn’t learned her lesson about men dedicated to their jobs, but at least Vaughn Westwood wanted to have a family. With having recently entered her thirties Cassandra’s clock had begun to tick, and the pressure from her mother had only intensified. Some 9 months after she’d had Saul’s signatures on their divorce papers, Cassandra welcomed her first son into the world with Vaughn. Their marriage wasn’t so bad, though Cassandra wasn’t entirely sure if she ever really fell in love with him. At least definitely not the way she had with Saul. The latter had been her first real love and that was unforgettable.

Sometimes Cassandra wondered if that had been felt by Vaughn, as in the last year of their near 15 year marriage she’d found out that her husband was having an affair. It was the biggest insult, not only for how piss poor he’d done at hiding it, but also for the fact that she seemed to be a younger model of herself. A late twenties redheaded paralegal whose bosses were doing work with Vaughn’s firm. This young thing hadn’t raised 3 children, birthing 2 of them and dedicated her life to keeping home and family in tiptop shape. Something inside of Cassandra broke with the discovery of infidelity, and she started thinking of all the things she’d given up to make the lives of others better. A makeover had been inspired and it had caused a fight with Vaughn, where a serious accusation had been hurled at her.

That’s not my son.

From the time of her first born son’s birth, her husband had been somewhat cold and distant. Not entirely and not all the time. Vaughn did provide for and support Rocco, but there were times he looked at him a little too long. Confronted with his infidelity Vaughn had wondered why it even mattered since Rocco wasn’t even his son, and Cassandra determined to prove him wrong has set out to find Saul because she needs a paternity test to prove that he’s wrong. Both head and heart feel dizzy over the possibility, maybe due to knowing the truth deep down, but Cassandra rented a house in Blue Harbor with the intention of asking her ex-husband and first love, possibly only love, to prove he’s not the father of her 14 year old son.

&. — wanted connections / plots.

friends/acquaintances from New York

anyone connected to her ex-husband Saul Weissburg that she might have met/known

current husband — they're headed for divorce amid her finding out about his affair and his accusations of their first born son not being of his DNA
