@gumpistol asked: [Soft Sentence Starters]

 [Hugs for a very long time]  [x] (Shach deserves a Luffy hug!!)

"Whoa!"

Shachi stares down at the mop of black hair just under his chin, the Strawhat captain having flung his rubbery limbs around his squishier body. He's frozen, if just for a moment, before his arms come around the younger and he pats his head. "Heya, anything I can help you with?"

It didn't seem like the rubber man was planning on going anywhere, and Shachi couldn't find it in himself to be upset at all. More often than not, the hybrid himself is initiating contact like this. It's not often someone else pulls him into a tight squeeze like this. With that in mind, he squeezes Luffy back tighter, a grin growing on his face.

"Well, if you're determined to be my extra shirt for the moment, I guess you're coming with me to check on the ship!" With that, Shachi starts down the hallway, idly patting the captain's hair and other hand on his back.

Eldritch Steve verse

Part 4

--

Carol has to remind Tommy that Steve is more dangerous than he presents when he mentions helping hunt Munson.

She reminds him that Munson is Steve's now, in ways that she knows Tommy wanted to be but that Steve never noticed, she reminds him that Munson is untouchable now.

She forgets that Tommy has never seen Steve truely angry, that he has never witnessed too many eyes, too sharp teeth, and bodies never found because they no longer existed, he's never witnessed the danger of touching what is Steve's.

Sometimes she forgets that she and Steve were friends before Steve and Tommy were.

She remembers when Steve was still new, not young, she's not sure he was ever young in the same way humans were, because she knows, she knows that Steve, Steve is not human.

She remembers a boy, or, it presented itself as a boy, but sometimes his head would swivel like an owl to look at her when she came up behind him, he'd grin too widely, all the way to his ears at the sight of her, and his laugh, his laugh at the very beginning, was an eerie mimic of laughter that sounded more like an echo off the quarry walls.

Carol hadn't liked him much at the beginning, she'd been afraid of him, like a sane person, she'd known in her most primal survival brain that Steve was dangerous, a thing to be feared.

And then he had saved her, she'd been playing in her yard, she'd lived near Steve back then, and someone had grabbed her, headed out of Hawkins, she never knew whether they planned on ransoming her back to her parents or doing worse, and she never brought it up after Steve had helped her out of the van and walked her home, not even a trace of blood from her kidnappers left to say they existed.

She'd learned then what being Steve's meant then, it meant protection and safety, it meant ignoring the weird that Steve did and gently reminding him that normal people don't have swivel heads and they eat vegitables not just raw meat, it meant sharing food and space with zero boundries because Steve needed to be close to them, it meant dating Tommy because Steve needed to see a normal relationship because he couldn't risk pursuing Munson, couldn't risk people disappearing because they jumped two gay men.

Carol had always known Munson was Steve's, ever since he'd first seen him in the school, she'd had to stop him then from going to him, had to remind him of the dangers, of people and how they hated.

Carol had been protecting Steve for a very long time before he stepped away from them, before something made him walk away from them.

She knew he wanted to keep them out away from whatever danger he now faced, but she missed him, he had been her brother, her best friend, the one she could tell anything to, like her little crush on Nancy Wheeler, the main reason she thinks he dated her, so Carol could hang out with her.

Steve didn't feel things like humans, Carol knew, he'd date anyone Carol pushed him to, let rumors fly about his sexual proess, something Carol had started herself because Steve likely didn't have sex the same way they did either.

But she missed him, which explained why she'd broken up with Tommy and come here to the Harrington house.

Tommy would never accept what Steve was, never accept his new family, because Carol knew that those children were more Steve's babies that just kids he babysat, she'd seen the way he took care of his baby bag of flour when they'd had to pass their health class, he'd stolen hers and Tommy's too when he realized Tommy was just going to buy a new one to pass.

There was something about the way Steve had cared for the lifeless bags of flours that told Carol that one day she'd be faking a surrogate pregnancy to explain away Steve aquireing a child.

Carol knocked at the door and was not entirely surprised when Munson answered.

His eyes widened then he called for Steve, not inviting her in, which she didn't blame him.

Steve appeared and Carol smiled softly, he looked as he always did to her eyes, too wide smile, too sharp teeth and so many eyes, but those eyes, unlike how they once were, were bright and lively, filled with happiness, much better than the emptiness she normally saw.

"Carol." Steve said, voice slightly different.

"Steve, what did I tell you about Munson, hmm?" She asked, hands going to her hips, in mock annoyance.

Steve kept smiling as he leaned into her space in a hug, which had her wrap her arms around him, feeling, like she usually did when he hugged her, completely surrounded, engulfed, protected.

"Now, do I need to find a reasonable lie for your kids about why people have just vanished or do they know?" Carol asked as she pulled back to look at Steve's face.

Munson blinked, "She knows?" He shouted, drawing the others to the door.

Steve looked at him, head turned owlishly, "I wasn't always a very good mimic."

Carol tapped his hand twice to remind Steve that he was doing something Other, which made him swivel to look back at her.

"You should come in, there is a lot to explain if you intend to stay. You should also meet Robin, you'll like her." Steve smiled too widely, as he pulled her in, and she knew that she and Robin would likely end up on a date or two, if only to appease Steve and to say they wouldn't work out.

But for whatever reason, part of Carol hoped that Steve was right, that she would like this Robin.

She deserved a reward, afterall, she'd been keeping Steve safe for a very long time, just like he'd kept her safe, that was what siblings did afterall.

--

A/n: umm, did I intend this, let's lie and say yes..

Enjoy Carol's pov.

[dragonherder2030]

So I watched Raya and the Last Dragon-

I honestly was very disappointed with the movie as a whole. I LOVE dragons and main movies and media just doesn’t have much of them that I have seen. So when I saw that Disney was making a movie about and staring a dragon character, I got very excited. I had loved the design for Sisu when she was just a concept art

She was much more colorful and had a very different face, a more regional face. She is definitely more water dragony compared to the actual final draft design. And she is just overall prettier in my opinion.

Spoilers under this point

Another thing is the continuity and main logic of the movie. In the beginning of the movie it is practically about 15 minutes of exposition. It tells that apparently all the dragons are water dragons, every single one since they all look the same, but that there were multiple dragons in the past. These evil creatures made of human greed or whatever started attacking humans, and well I guess other things but the humans primarily. When attacked, they pass through the human and either take or freeze their spirit or something I don’t remember exactly, but the person becomes stone. So the dragons being the most powerful creatures in the world, they tried to fight the things. The dragons were also turned to stone, all but one, The Mighty Sisu. In the exposition it says that she compiled all her magic into the orb, and used it to destroy the things and turn everyone back from stone. Except the dragons. Do they ever explain why it didn’t turn the dragons back to alive? No it does not, it absolutely does not, but ho boy there is SO much more. Later in the exposition, the dragon gem gets broken into 5 pieces, one for each of the tribes. And they each possess a piece of the gem now. So, when the gem gets broken, all the evil creatures from the very beginning just, come back! This is never explained- nothing is ever explained in this movie it was just made for the funnies I GUESS. This movie feels like a really bad book adaption HONESTLY. And at the end of the movie when everyone comes back because it’s a kids movie, it’s just AHHGH everyone is happy now all the dragons come back and everything is dandy. But why didn’t the dragons come back in the beginning? The whole moral of the movie is “Trust good”. Seriously that’s it. And when they put the dragon gem back together at the end everyone is like “oh wow we need to trust each other and that’s how the magic will WoRk”. But explained earlier when we hear Sisu’s whole backstory is that when SHE did the magic fix she trusted her siblings the most that she had in that moment, SO TELL ME WHY DIDN’T IT WORK!!?? It makes no sense to me at least maybe I’m just missing something. But it annoys me so much, nothing makes sense in this movie. Another theory I have is that there were 3 writers. Each assigned to a seperate story arc, one to the beginning exposition thing, one to the middle main part, and one to the climax and final bits of the movie. The thing is, the writers only vaguely know what the past ones did XD.

The next problem I have is with the actual magic and formulation of dragons, as well as what the heck is up with the dragon gem. But don’t worry, I have at least 2 more problems with this movie. So as Sisu gets more and more of the dragon gem shards, she gains new powers. But do you know why? Because APPARENTLY when the gem broke into the 5 pieces, the magic of her individual siblings who gave their magic to the gem was separated perfectly. Ok that may not make much sense. But when we see Sisu’s backstory it shows that her oldest brother made the gem, then each sibling except Sisu put their special magic into the gem. So then, when it broke, the individual gem pieces only had the 1 type of magic in them? Excuse me what? That doesn’t make sense, if I make a cake, then I won’t cut it up and get only egg from one slice, then a bunch of sugar from another slice. It’s just- really bad and they could have fixed it by just- not having the siblings at all. They so easily could have been written out of the story, instead Sisu could have no magic when she is brought back, which she practically has none, her “magic” is that she is a strong swimmer. But then as she gets the pieces she gains back parts of her original magic, that would have been more indering then the siblings. Now the second part of this is the actual powers. Ok, which sounds like more of a power, being able to glow, or being able to fly around by walking on raindrops. The second one right? Well, ThEY aRe BoTh COsIdeReD MaGIc iN tHiS UniVErSe. All the powers that Raya aquires from the dragon gem pieces is being able to do the glow, being able to shape shift into a human, and being able to walk on the rain. Now, that isn’t even the part I’m the most mad about. At the end of the movie when all the dragons come back, THEY ALL CAN WALK ON THE RAIN. LIKE WHAT!? I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE OLDER BROTHER’S MAGIC TYPE! Do you get what I mean by this movie having no continuity? At the end of the movie, Sisu was killed by evil cat lady, and all the dragons come back walking on the rain and just- resurrect her. Ok, I guess that could be explained away as all the magic beings being magical, but I still don’t like how easily they did it. Yet another thing is that Sisu can make a bunch of magical smoke, well not magical but it’s really shimmery and thick, that’s not explained, she just can do it.

Let’s talk about the relationships in this movie. I hate them. No ones characters are developed on or improved except for maybe cat lady- I need to find her name somewhere, but except for Namarii is her name, her and Raya. Namarii’s big stitch is, I don’t even know just not being the most evil person? Either that or the same trust thing, which would mean that her and Raya have the same character arc. Raya in the beginning of the movie is explained to be the daughter of the chef of clan Heart, one of the most prosperous out of the 5 clans. They at the start of the movie had the dragon gem, and the father guy, he invited every other clan over to have a big feast or whatever. So when they get there, young Namarii, all this is happening when Raya is like, 9 I think, but Namarii and Raya become friends over fangirling for Sisu. Namarii has a necklace of Sisu that she gives to Raya. And side note, they act as though Sisu isn’t the SAVIOR OF THIER LANDS, but she’s some really good singer. Well I guess they have to connect to all those youngsters out there with an obsession and that rElATaBlE moment when you fInD AnOTheR oF tHiEr kInD. That just triggered me. But since Namarii is such a big fan of Sisu, Raya, after being shown to be VERY offensive about the idea of the other tribes coming, just decides to show Namarii the dragon gem! But uh oh, twist, Namarii is actually bad oh noooo and everyone comes up and starts to fight over the dragon gem. Then it shatters and the evil things come back. So Raya and her dad are trying to escape, her dad had been injured from fighting an arrow to the leg, but the things are repelled by water. So what does the dad do? He yeets the child into a river(they are on a bridge at this point) after having a minute long conversation with her. Like, could he not just tip himself off to? But hey we have to give them characters angsty backstorys amiright? It’s just so stupid the character motives. So like, Idk 12 years pass by or something since Raya is an adult now. She actually has a pretty emotional prayer type thing to Sisu when she is trying to resurrect her to save the world. This movie has a few ups that I will put at the end. So let’s talk about Sisu now, ho boy, she is the “oh everything will be fixed with hugs and kisses”. You know what this is, this is the same exact dynamic that Poppy and Branch went through during Trolls movie! The exact same dynamic! HECK Disney couldn’t even get original personalities. Sisu blindly trusting everything gets them into wacky situations and causes some conflict between Raya and Sisu but BARELY ANY. And Sisu just seems like- really innocent, she’s oblivious all the time. She’s this ancient beast and she just has the most generic personality and I loath it. Namanii is actually someone I liked. She seemed like the most real character until the very end, just, the blindly “oh everything is alright now and I’m fine with everyone now trauma doesn’t exist”. Also on that point, apparently trauma doesn’t exist in this world, because Sisu lost every single one of her siblings, and just, doesn’t show any sign of grieving or remorse she just doesn’t give a thought to them. Except for the backstory bit but she just doesn’t seem to care. Also just a side note, none of those side characters are developed at all and just there for practically comic relief. The whole resolution of the movie is them putting the gem together and then all “hugging” each other and wow look at that it worked. *inhales* and then when Sisu comes back, she has the most emotionally dead response to Raya, none of the character reuniting is good. You know, if you have seen storks, that near end montage where all the babies are brought to the people? Yeah, that was 100% better then the resolutions of Raya and the Last Dragon. One scene that ticked me off so much was when that ninja baby was reunited with her parents, the mom, oh my gosh, she looked as if she had just found an old purse she misplaced. She did not look- ah I can’t even put it into words just look up the clip to get it.

That’s all that I have to say about the movie, I probably have more somewhere but honestly I couldn’t put it into words. Now, you know, I have to give this movie a few good opinions. The movie looked amazing, great character design(except for the dragons I dispose them) and everything looks gorgeous. As well as the animal design, I wish I could have seen more animals honestly they all looked really interesting and unique.

Sorry this post was so long I just wanted to put my opinions out there.

Speedsmoke ref

Name: Speedsmoke Nickname: Speedy, Speedster, Baby shark, Shark teeth, Shark bub, Bubba shark, Baby angel. Age: Around 17-18 aprox. as a human. Gender: Femme Faction: Autobot Alt. mode: Same as Smokescreen's but smaller Family: Smokecrseen (older brother) personality: Shy but clever, Speedsmoke is the innocent little sister of Smokescreen. She often hides from new people, most likely due to the fact that Knockout tricked her while still on cybertron and she is making sure it doesn't happen again. She has a very good memory (as a result of Knockouts experiments) and always stays close to Smokescreen. Speedsmoke has this sort of soft vibe about her, once she's sure you won't hurt her or her brother, and she gets to know you, she can understand you very easily. Speedsmoke has difficulty reading so she often listens to audio books to help her. Her favorites are teen dystopias, sci-fis and fantasy novels. She has an interest in earth's weather, and really wants to become a meteorologist. She has also gained interest in video games (she really likes splatoon, portal, legend of Zelda and super Mario). She values family over fighting and is always full of surprises. she does have problems with seperation and refuses to do misions alone. she has issues with balance and socializing as well. sometimes she trips over her own peds, especially when she is trying to partake in stealth missions. she's also not very talkative. while it's good she doesn't talk as much as her brother, it does effect her social skills. she'd rather listen to audio books than go to a party. she can also be a bit of a cry baby when things go wrong and apologises way too much. she's really reliant on others which can be a pain for solo missions. she's also no good at hand to hand combat so she's in serious danger with missions. however, when those things are put asside, she has the capacity to snap when insulted to a degree that should have never been there in the first place. her brother playfully calls this "Ragnarok Mode" or "Going Ragnarok", after the norse prediction of the end of the world backstory: Speedsmoke was born born and raised as the second sparkling of Smokescreen's family. Smokescreen actually didn't like her at first. He hated that Speedsmoke got all of the attention. He hated that she was in the way of his parents. Smokescreen would have hated her if it weren't for her first time walking. Speedsmoke was going to walk into dangerous territory when Smokescreen stopped her. He just hoped that the heroic act would make his parents love him again. Of course, Smokescreen kept up these helpful behaviours and found he was no longer doing it for the attention anymore. Slowly, he began to learn to love Speedsmoke. And Speedsmoke loved him back. Unless Smokescreen was around, Speedsmoke would always cry. When it came to talking, Speedsmoke couldn't talk until 1 and a half years human equivalent. Her first word was "Smokey", picking up on what everyone called her older brother. Reading was difficult for her too but Smokescreen accepted that Speedsmoke might have some sort of difficulty with things. As she grew older, Speedsmoke would always be close around Smokescreen, so school was difficult. Smokescreen once was crushing on someone in school, but little to his knowledge, the bots younger brother was bulling Speedsmoke because she read things slowly. Upon discovery, Smokescreen confronted the bot and told them that he will not fall in love with someone related to a bot bullying his sister. Speedsmoke and Smokescreen were the best brother sister duo in their school. Despite her difficulties, Speedsmoke got high scores on tests and reports. She was a bit reclusive but well behaved. Of course she let Smokescreen go out with his friends, but as soon as he came home, Speedsmoke was always the first to greet him Things took a turn when Smokescreen had to go to war. Before he left, he gave Speedsmoke a little pendent to remember him. A few days later Speedsmoke had an anxiety hit and wanted to be close to her brother again. So, she went searching. She did find him working in the archives but it lasted only a few weeks as Speedsmoke was separated from him again as guards quickly spotted her and took her away from the archives. Speedsmoke soon got lost and began looking for her brother again, Smokescreen looking for her as well. When the decepticons attacked iacon it got even more difficult. She had to look for her brother after it all ended Speedsmoke then encountered a decepticon scientist. He posed as an autobot, lying about why his optics were red to draw suspicion away, and offered to help Speedsmoke out. Speedsmoke agreed and followed him. He lead her to his ship where troops took her. She was in a medbay before she knew it. the scientist then began two experiments on her, knocking her into a stasis first. He had injected two syrups into her, one made her denta sharp and strong, changing their shape slightly. The other affected her memory, she got a better memory recall. Both effects were permanent. She woke up from stasis in a cell, chained to a wall by her servos. She was trying to escape by any means possible. She then bit on the chains and found that they snapped upon the impact of her denta. She bit her way out of the chains and cuffs and bit through the wires that powered the force field bars of the cell. From there, she escaped, slipping into vents due to her small size and being very quiet. She slip passed guards and soon found an escape pod. Of course, bad luck reaching her and it knocked her into stasis again, being long distance. However she woke up when she was close to earth, having enough time to set a course for where Autobot signals were picked up, but when she entered earth's gravity, a piece of space junk threw her off course sending her to Iceland Upon the crash, her signal was damaged and could not be picked up. She was luckily able to find a cave of energon in a remote area and that there was an energon processing machine in the escape pod. She also encountered a cybertronian puffin. She named him 'Nesti' and became her only friend. She tried looking for Smokescreen around Iceland. She, for that time, lived off the energon she found and made her escape pod her shelter. After months of this, she noticed she could send an emergency distress signal. So she began to send out on, hoping an Autobot would pick it up. It was very faint to the point Decepticon technology couldn't pick it up, but Autobot technology could. Ratchet sent out Smokescreen when the signal was picked up. Smokescreen was curious as to who this signal was, but doubted it was Speedsmoke as he assumed she was dead. He went to go investigate alone since he and Ratchet were the only ones at base at the time. Smokescreen had a weird feeling when he drove through the ground bridge to Iceland where the signal was picked up. Speedsmoke had hidden when she saw the ground bridge. when Smokescreen transformed Speedsmoke came out of hiding and walked to him. Smokescreen noticed her and they both got into a teary reunion hug. Smokescreen told her that he thought she was dead and Speedsmoke replied with her telling him that she never gave up, like he taught her. Smokescreen brought her back to base for the team to meet later on. When she arrived, Ratchet walked up to greet her and she hid. She was extremely shy. Smokescreen explained everything, how Speedsmoke and him were separated during the war and he assumed she was dead. Smokescreen then asked Speedsmoke what happened while they were separated. She explained everything and after she did, Smokescreen asked Ratchet to look at her. Ratchet took a CNA test from her and found that her memory recall had improved and her denta were now sharp. Smokescreen kept in his anger about what the decepticon scientist had done as he did not want to be angry in front of his sister. He instead told her how proud he was that she was brave and that she was so clever. He then gave her the nickname 'Baby shark', as she was so young yet so fierce. When the rest of the team came, Smokescreen introduced Speedsmoke to them. As she began crawling out of her shell, getting use to them her first few weeks with them, she felt like she belonged. Abilities: - Sharp Denta Due to an experiment conducted by a decepticon scientist, Speedsmoke has incredible strong and sharp denta (teeth), hence the nickname "baby shark". Her denta can allow her to bite through metal, especially chains and cuff, wires and cybertronian armor with a powerful force. But listening to Ratchet's advice, this is more a secondary or defense attack and can't use too much of this power or her denta will be permanently damaged. - Memory As mentioned before, a decepticon scientsit experimented on her. The other result was an increased memory and better memory recall. She can remember an event exactly how it happened, which is useful considering if she remembers someone saying something then noticing they are lying, she can do something about it like tell her brother. - Blaster (named "Angel's Heart") Speedsmoke's standard blaster is almost similar to smokescreen's. The only difference is the barrel and the handle that sticks out. The barrel is in a heart shape, but can still deliver the same amount of fire power as Smokescreen's. She's more familiar with rapidly firing her blaster from a distance - Cyclone Blaster Speedsmoke has upgraded herself with a very special blaster. The Cyclone Blaster is a rare blaster that can only be installed by a certain selection of feild medic. The blaster can produce very powerful blasts of air, enough to tear through cybertronian armor. The weapon could be used to offline bots, but Speedsmoke is too scared to do that. She has yet to fully get her helm around how to use the Cyclone Blaster as it only ever appears when she is furious, a side effect of first orginally aquiring the upgrade, but it's starting to appear at will. (Rounded barrel weapon) stats: Courage: 7 inteligence: 9.5 firepower: 6.5 speed: 8 strength: 3 Endurance: 5 rank: 3.5 skill: 6 Other Facts: - She's dyslexic - She rarely plays multiplayer games without Smokescreen - She always plays as king boo in Mario kart - Smokey is starting to introduce her to more mature games, but slowly - As soon as she gets the hang of overwatch, her main is mei - her main weapon in Splatoon 2 is the SplatCharger. - her favorite movie is "Legend of the Guardians; the Owls of Ga'Hoole" - There is a human equivalent age gap of 7 years between Speedsmoke and smokescreen - her racing number is Smokescreen's in reverse

[hieronymous-wiggenstaff]

PLEASE talk about fitzroy I need 2 hear abt my boy.... - jester

NSJSNS thank you jester @gayduation this ask is keeping me company in my 3 AM uber to the airport!

anyway you KNOW i’m obsessed with fitzroy and didn’t even give me a jumping off point, which is so dangerous, i could take this anywhere right now, but i think i’m just gonna throw some random shit out rather than any sort of detailed meta because i have a lot of baby headcanons that i love but they don’t have any narrative stake

no matter what skintone u hc fitzroy to have, i like to think he’s got freckles. mostly on his nose and shoulders, but sparsely over his cheeks and arms and the backs of his hands too, and he has One (1) on one of his pointy little ears

fitz has griffin’s Pillow Weirdness to a lesser degree, and he took all the pillows from the firbolg’s bed to bunch up around him. he keeps one at his back and one between his legs and one at his chest to wrap his arms around. if/when he aquires a significant other the ones at the back or chest are easily replaced by a humanoid body which is cute and great luck

fitzroy isn’t an only child... he got that youngest-of-several naivety. you know i love that bastard son hc jester and i don’t know how that would jive with how MUCH i want him to have a few older brothers but god i want him to.

sweeeeet tooth. like a baby child. this is basically canon with the crepes, but it’s universal. fitzroy smothers toast with sprinkled sugar or sweet jam, sucks on fantasy jolly ranchers in like every class, always has a few hard candies in his pockets like a grandma. coffee is undrinkable by normal standards when he finishes adding cream and sugar. he can pour three pixie sticks in his mouth and still be fine.

because of the sweet tooth he has an almost weirdly specific dental routine every morning and night with brushing and flossing and he gets super irritated if this routine is interrupted or thrown off

in general takes foreeeeeverrrrr to get ready in the morning. people assume it’s because of his hair or even his Dental Hygeine or maybe he wears makeup, but it’s actually because he does affirmations in the mirror every morning. also at night he lotions his whole body up like the peanut butter baby before he goes to bed

silk pajamas

his brooch collection is a real collection and he like. picks one up from every new kingdom or major city he visits. like those tourist trap spoons in the US, except rich people brooches

fitzroy is the WORST at buying presents for people 99.9% of the time because he gets nervous that they wouldn’t like whatever he thinks they would and compensates by buying ridiculously expensive gifts instead. when, rarely, he DOESN’T do that, he’s totally fine. he just never trusts that he knows someone well enough to pick them a gift

a really insecure friend. had a few bad experiences with “friends” and not many good ones growing up, and internalized that shit. pretty sure people only put up with him, assumes everyone wants something from him even if it’s just flattery and positive attention, and cannot fathom that people may like him as a Person and not a dispensary of money and services.

even despite this, though, he continues to do his best to make and keep friends, because he wants to believe better of people. he’s trying extra hard at wiggenstaff’s because he knows college is where a lot of people make lasting friendships and he desperately wants some of those.

ok im at the airport LMAO thank u jester i love fitzroy and i love all my super super specific headcanons

“How about you feed your brother milk? Use a baby bottle”

The request appeared in the livestream chat, amongst many others - but for some reason, it got to them. They found themselves cackling (things like that constantly reminded their audience that they were, indeed, brothers: the coordination, the identical rythm of their bodies - sometimes, the same laugh). They instantly knew they were looking at the same message, one quick glance, and the deal was set.

“Alright, we’ll do this one then! You guys ready? Let’s warm up some milk!” Thor’s smile went from ear to ear.

“Do you possess the lost art of conjuring objects out of thin air?” his brother hissed, half a smirk on his thin lips.

Thor’s face dropped; he raised one finger to the camera and turned to face Loki: “You know, you could go for some constructive criticism instead of spitting poison, for a change”

“Well?”

”We’ll go ask Moira!”

”We are not knocking at our next door neighbor to ask her to give us her child’s baby bottle”

”She has got to have a spare one!”

”Why would she have a spare one!”

”Because...!! Mothers!”

”We are not asking Moira.”

The livestream started again shortly after, showing them both sitting in front of the webcam, sharing the same chair. Thor’s sunny smile was a hilarious contrast to his brother’s dead serious face. A brand new baby bottle, still in its box, sat between them on the desk.

“ ‘Reference for a decal on a nursery toys chest’? Really.”

“Hey, she bought it!”

Thor kissed away whatever his brother was about to reply, then stood and cheerfully announced he was going to set everything up. Loki sprawled on the chair, all the space for himself finally, grabbed his brother’s phone from the desk and started tapping quickly. He read out while typing, half whispering, for his audience: “New text message... to... Moira... <You... will... have... that... same... toys chest... of course... And... no... need... to pay->”

“Loki?”

“Mmh?”

“Do you want sugar in your milk?”

“Whatever. (<I’m... just... happy... to make one... for free... since you... were so... nice->)”

“I’m just gonna put salt in it then, see if you like it you little bit-”

“...... <in fact you know what i’ll make you two cause you know kids these days they end up having so many toys that one never knows where to store them okthanksbyeSEND>” Loki typed extra fast, turned the phone’s screen off and put it back just as his brother entered the room again. He faced up and smiled fondly at Thor, spreading his arms wide open: “My brother!!!”

Thor chuckled and fell right into his trap. He moved down and hugged that little shit like his life depended on it: “You want some milk, baby?” 

Loki nodded. They were both clearly repressing an explosive laugh, lips pressed firmly together, but they hugged again, and they kissed, and Thor picked up his brother from the chair, held him close as he sat down, then placed him all comfy on his lap: “Well then! Milk you shall have!”

Little did the people watching know, that this wasn’t new activity to the brothers: many times Thor had fed Loki milk from a baby bottle. Loki happened to be, in fact, a baby at that time, and Thor would often demand to be the one to take care of his brother - it would seem to him that their parents weren’t putting the necessary attention in it. Loki, for his part, used to be way less whiny when his brother was in charge. A match made in heaven, Frigga would think, silently thanking the gods for that little bit of peace and quiet.

So they sat, assuming the position automatically; their bodies remembered. Thor’s arms wrapped around his brother’s chest like a shawl, big and warm. Loki’s head fell back on Thor’s shoulder, his hands moved to touch his face, his lips, his hair. Incidentally, that was also the base for Thor’s Special NightNight Cuddle - a secret move that could send Loki straight to dream land, to their mother’s unspeakable joy.

Thor started cooing his little brother, without even thinking: soft kisses placed on Loki’s porcelain neck, soothing words purred into his ear. “My baby brother-” Loki’s eyes closed on their own, his lips parted automatically. He accepted the bottle that his brother offered him, no tantrums, like a good boy. 

“There you go...” Thor purred, his lips caressing Loki’s cheek, placing absentminded kisses. His hand was steady, keeping the bottle tilted just enough not to form any air bubbles - remarkable technique, aquired with experience. 

Loki suckled quietly, it felt like time never really passed since they last did this. His long fingers moved to play with Thor’s golden locks; he looked up, his eyes lost in adoration, his breathing steady, their heartbeat perfectly synced. He couldn’t help but moan from the back of his throat, for he felt bliss in his heart, peace in his mind; his suckling noises got louder, and the whole scene brought Thor to moan as well, in between kisses. 

“My angel... My beauty, my darling...” Every sentence was marked by a kiss, on Loki’s face, on his neck, on his hair, his hands, his shoulders. “My love... My reason to live... My joy...”, Thor moaned, he couldn’t get himself to stop touching every part of his brother’s body, feeling his warm skin under his finger tips.

Loki was dozing off, his hands slowly fell on his lap, his eyelids felt heavy, the milk was almost gone. He let his brother handle him like a doll, he felt his strong arms lift him slightly and place him back down sideways, with his legs hanging from the side of the chair and his head resting in the crook of Thor’s arm. His sucklings got lazy, the last drops of milk spilled on his chin, down to his neck. 

“Ah- now, now...” Thor murmured softly, placing the empty bottle on the desk, “let’s not get sloppy, mh?” He traced the marks left by the milk, from the bottom to the top, and when he got to Loki’s lips he pushed his fingers inside. Softly, but firmly.

Loki accepted, sucking eagerly on his brother’s fingers, bathing in Thor’s deep, heartly laugh, lost in the love for him, in his scent, in his warmth.

“Good boy... Look how good you were”. As if just then suddenly remembering they had an audience, Thor moved his eyes to the screen: they were all still there, good. He cradled his baby brother in his arms, yet another autopilot move from his memory. 

He looked down to Loki, to his hands that were now both under his cheek like a pillow. His heart smiled, he felt like he could explode from how much he loved him. He spoke softly to the camera “I think he’s gone...”. He shook his head slowly “Do you understand how much I love my brother? Do you have any idea? Do any of you?”, Thor asked, and then proceeded to ramble about his undying love for Loki, how perfect he was to his eyes, how lovable, how delightful in his every aspect. His voice a whisper, his fingers stroking Loki’s hair softly, his eyelids getting heavy too, Thor suddenly jumped on his chair when his phone buzzed lively from the desk.

He picked it up and read from the screen: “<That’s so nice of you - with three esclamation points - I would never ask you that much but since you insist (what the fuck is this)->

Loki’s body froze on Thor’s lap.

“<-a friend of mine happened to have a baby just recently and i know she would also love to have a -fucking TOYS CHEST?!?!?>”

His arms moved down to strangle Loki in a death grip before he could leave, but alas! The little snake - who was apparently as far from dream land as he could ever be - slimed right off his lap and out of the audience’s screens in .2 seconds.

“LOKI”, Thor stood, his huge arms flipped the desk with everything on it. The livestream ended abruptly.

[MASTERLIST.]

PREVIOUS.

Waking up the next morning, Violet groaned loudly. I can't show my face there again, not after last night.

Checking her phone, she noticed she had eleven missed calls from Chris. She was surprised he wasn't already at her front door checking on her. Seconds later, a gentle tap at her bedroom door startled her.

Burying herself under the covers, she let out a muffled "Come in."

"You can't hide forever you know. Not from me." Hearing Chris's voice, she poked her head over the top.

"I was wondering when you'd get here."

He grinned, checking his watch.

"I've actually been here an hour now. You know how much your Mum likes to talk."

Violet snorted under the covers, rolling away from him.

"I'm pretty sure if my Mum had the chance she'd have adopted you years ago."

Chris shrugged as he jumped next to her on to the bed.

"What can I say? I'm a charmer. Any chance of some covers over here?"

"None for you Christopher Powell. Stay away from my mother." She turned to him, eyes narrowed, then giggled, lifting the covers just an inch.

Nestling under the covers, he laid on his back, hands tangled together supportively behind his head. Violet on her side, curled in towards his body. At some point over the last six years they'd slipped into this comfortable routine.

"So it was nice knowing you, I hope it doesn't take you too long to find a new best friend." She nudged him playfully.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad." Noticing her eyebrows arch upwards he backtracked a little. "Okay, it might not have gone great, but I bet everyone will have forgotten about it by Monday. Besides, you realise you are stuck with me for the rest of eternity so there's no way you can go anywhere."

"Like you'd even notice I was gone. You, Sir, have aquired friends in high places, and the looks to make yourself one of those popular jerks." She tried to say it in jest, but Chris knew her better than that.

"I wouldn't exactly call them friends. And you have my permission to slap me if I ever even think of becoming one of those jerks." Twisting his body towards her, he watched her as she seemed to stare straight past him.

"You okay?"

"I was just reliving last night. Unfortunately."

***

The previous night.

"You look great, I mean it." Chris gave her hand a brief encouraging squeeze as she nervously compared herself to all the girls surrounding her.

Violet had worn a floaty floral summer dress, which was in fact the only dress she owned. She'd worn it to her baby cousin's christening a few years ago and then forgotten all about it. It actually fit her better now than it did back then, but she couldn't stop herself from feeling self conscious and out of place in anything other than jeans and a baggy jumper, her every day go to outfit.

It seemed a congregation of girls were surrounding Violet and Chris. All in tiny dresses or barely there skirts, sky high heels none of them could walk in, face full of make up and perfect hair. The group closest to them caught her eye as they kept nudging each other and looking in their direction.

"I think you've got yourself some admirers Mr Powell."

Chris whirled around without thinking, causing the gaggle of girls to giggle, one even blowing a kiss to him and winking.

When he turned back to Violet she realised he was blushing furiously.

"Go." She said simply.

"What?"

"You heard me. You didn't come to this party to babysit me. I want you to enjoy yourself."

Chris looked at her bewildered.

"I'm enjoying myself with you." Chris found his head turning despite himself.

"That's it. Get over there. I'm sick of watching you lust over them." She pushed him firmly in the direction of the girls. Knowing he'd protest, she swiftly made her escape, wandering over to a table full of drinks.

Standing with her back to the table, she took one last chance to check that Chris hadn't followed her. She found him surrounded by the girls, his cheeks visibly red, even from the other side of the room. As much as she hated the idea of being a complete loner at the first party she'd ever been invited to, she knew she had to do it for Chris.

He'd come a long way in a short space of time. Since he took up football he'd gained a fair few new friends, and naturally all the girls were after him. Violet couldn't help but feel she was holding him back, and so tonight she had to let him fly the nest. The downside to that was she was now stuck in the corner all by herself.

Violet startled as she felt someone snake their arms around her waist. She could feel the panic rising up within seconds.

"Well hey there pretty lady. Don't you scrub up well?" Ryan whispered closely in her ear, his fingers clumsily digging in, almost painfully. He was so close she could smell the alcohol on his breath.

All the while the little voice in Violet's head was going in to overdrive. He can feel my love handles. I feel huge stood next to him. I must look like a whale in this dress.

"I see you've found the good stuff." He gestured to the table of drinks behind her.

"Thanks to my older sister. It's her party really. Our parents are away for the weekend, left her in charge coz she's the mature adult. So they think, they'd flip if they ever found out." He licked at Violet's earlobe, making her stomach lurch.

Feeling a desperate need to put space between them, she practically lunged at the table, squirming away from him. Picking up a cup with a shaky hand, she sipped at the fruity concoction timidly. She had no intention of drinking tonight, God knows how many calories were in a glass of this! But she was grateful for the momentary distraction from Ryan's prying hands.

Ryan didn't seem fazed by her sudden movements, instead he stood watching her, a grin plastered across his face.

"Help yourself to as much as you want!" He stumbled forward slightly but Violet suddenly found her feet, escaping as quickly as possible, terrified he'd make another move.

In her haste to get away she walked slap bang into someone, spilling half the contents of her cup all over them.

"Are you serious?" A disgruntled shriek pierced through Violet's ears, and she found herself close to cowering in front of a girl with long red hair, her brown eyes fiercely locked onto Violet's.

"I...I'm so sorr..."

"I don't want to hear it! Who even are you and what are you doing in my house?" The girl seethed.

Realising she must be Ryan's sister, Violet struggled through a response, barely keeping it together at all.

'Your brother..."

She hissed out a laugh, lips curling in a cruel little snarl afterwards.

"Oh you are too precious! You really think Ryan is interested in you? Have you seen yourself? Take a look around babe, you aren't even in the same league as the rest of us. My brother isn't completely desperate, but when he is I'll be sure to send him in your direction."

Head pounding and tears springing to her eyes, Violet hurried away. Ryan's sister would not get the satisfaction of seeing her come undone. Violet had absolutely no interest in Ryan at all, she'd literally just run away from him! But somehow those words still stung.

Pushing her way through the crowd, she ended up in a plush bathroom upstairs. Dropping to her knees before she could even take a second to think, Violet's fingers found their way into her mouth, reaching for the back of her throat. As she heaved, her mind started racing. Unwanted fingers digging into unwanted excess flesh. The smell of alcohol. Loner. Different league to all the other girls. Desperate. Disgusting. Not like most girls.

Her fingers came away from her mouth, but her body had taken over now, unable to stop everything possible from coming up. With her head still firmly down the toilet, she flinched as she felt someone wrap their arms too tightly around her from behind.

"Lightweight much?"

Pulling away from the toilet and dabbing at her face, she was shocked to see Ryan gripping her tightly.

"You can borrow my toothbrush if you want. Then we'll take this to my room."

Just when she thought her night couldn't get any worse, it did. It all happened so quickly there was nothing Violet could do to stop it. One minute she was staring at Ryan, feeling physically sick at the thought of going anywhere near his bedroom with him. The next, she was literally physically sick, all over him. She'd never hear the end of this on Monday morning!

So okay. I've got a couple of these in my inbox and I'll admit I've kind of avoided doing these because I have a really hard time thinking of things that I like about myself. I know that might sound silly but it's just especially lately with everything going on, I've been super extra critical of myself. But I'm going to force myself to do this today, and I got some help from my friends :) so thank you for that. Here goes nothing. 1. I very genuinely love and care for people and always try to support, protect, defend, encourage and help in any way that I can. 2. I'm funny. I mean my sense of humor might be really quirky and random, but I'm told I'm really funny, so there ya go. 3. I'm smart. That was always the one thing I felt I had going for me. I did really well academically and love to keep learning new things. I'm pretty good at trivia and have aquired a lot of extensive knowledge on several subjects over the years; so when my brain is not all foggy from bring sick, I'm actually pretty sharp so to speak. 4. I have great taste in music. Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran- enough said! Hehe...5. I'm good at crafts. I love diy projects and have skills in all kinds of different areas. Scrapbooking, sewing, painting, okay I'm not going to try to list everything because there's a lot. But actually my favorite thing is making my own cards, gifts, and creative wrapping for said gifts. I love making random themed care packages to surprise people with. I can do calligraphy and I've made a lot of pretty custom cards and things. I recently learned how to make cute little felt toys, as my "niece," M (who I talked about went to the Taylor show last night), loves Pokémon so I made her a Pikachu keychain (and a pokéball bracelet and hair bows/clips). Oh and I learned how to make taggie toys for babies which I made (hand-sewn too! Don't have a sewing machine atm so I hand sew everything which is very extra, okay, lol) along with some pacifier holders for M's baby brother. I'm going off now, this answer is way too long, but I guess this is something I'm proud of so there you go. Alright now it's time to go blow up a bunch of your inboxes with this ask, mwahaha!!🌹

Will not assume that each one you should purchase are garments labeled 'maternity' specifically while in the very first several months any time you could require a little bit a lot more room but you're not on the lookout genuinely pregnant still. Numerous styles, much like the more recent baby-doll shirts make it possible for a generous bit of cloth inside the entrance.

Below will be the other concepts that may help you conserve a lot of money on maternity dresses: 1) Borrow garments from friends - My girlfriend began her household ahead of I did and he or she essentially made available her maternity dresses to me to use all through my being pregnant. While in the exact same way, I provided her several of my very own maternity outfits when she was expecting immediately after me. We in fact exchanged a similar apparel 4 moments in advance of I despatched them on to my sister-in-law and he or she and her close friends exchanged them numerous a lot more situations.

Ensure moschino jewelry that you return them when you are carried out working with them except you have been replica ysl bag evidently advised not to return them (I had been a little upset whenever a coworker gave absent several of my maternity clothes devoid of my all right due to the fact she believed we ended up done getting kids). two) Thrift retailers - Countless gals promptly dispose of their maternity clothing when they believe they are carried out possessing youngsters. They don't would like to look at the "fat clothes" anymore. Though I was not available in the market for business-type maternity clothing, I had been amazed at how inexpensive a number of people types of maternity outfits had been (right after obtaining observed them for full-price in the maternity garments shop). three) Consignment shops - In some cases you could need a costume or outfit for just a special occasion. My brother was finding married after i was Pretty pregnant with our third and that i chose to not certainly be a bridesmaid but was about to do a examining and needed something unique. I discovered some extremely nice maternity "special occasion" dresses in a community consignment store for any portion in their original cost. four) eBay - In the event you do a lookup of "maternity dresses ton dimensions ___", you'll find a large collection of maternity dresses out there. You can find sellers hunting to market "lots" of outfits or person pieces. five) Craigslist.org - Craig listing is a superb spot to locate a lot of items, not only maternity garments. You may lookup your place from the state and call most sellers via the e-mails presented. Quite a few sellers wish to provide full wardrobes for very small. For safety, in no way satisfy up with any vendor by itself and don't convey to the seller your specific handle. six) Box Merchants - A lot of the massive chain box suppliers now carry maternity garments; Goal, Wal-Mart, Kmart and Kohl's, only to title several. These suppliers are much more cost-effective than the specialty maternity outfits shops I had been mainly restricted to when i was expecting. Outlets like Kohl's generally supply up discount coupons that will help you stretch your maternity garments spending plan even additional. Never ignore to seem outside of the maternity section for garments which have a tad much more fabric, extend or design and style that doesn't restrict it to only those people of us who usually are not expecting. 7) Tag Revenue - Some newspapers will promote tag profits.
