Year 6. 10 years old. Mrs M. Spelling class.
to set the scene:
the teacher, Mrs M, only liked Neat-Haired Dancer Kids That Are Seen, Not Heard (you know the type).
I was uncoordinated, opinionated, outspoken & articulate, and hated combing my hair. (aka: autistic). She did not like me.
Mrs M was nothing but nice to her Favourites. She gave them compliments, extra help, lots of leeway with homework & grades.
But those she didn't like? She tried her utmost to make their lives miserable. She loved mercilessly ripping into any & all academic insecurities, making people hate themselves. (I'm willing to bet a lot of my classmates left with lasting psychological damage.)
Fortunately, I did not value her opinion. I realised pretty quick she was not ruled by logic or truth.
In year 6, we had weekly spelling tests. And if there's one thing I've always known, it's words. So my answers were consistently correct, and she haaated it. I didn't give her anything to sink her teeth into.
So week after week, she had to bear it. Be an Objective Teacher, as per the marking schedule. She was openly fuming. I tbh enjoyed it.
One week, though, she must have had enough. Like usual, I brought up my (all correct) spelling sheet. She glanced through it....peeked up at me....looked back down at the sheet....and gave me a zero.
Why?
'Because you started all the words with a CAPITAL LETTER. And these words aren't ALWAYS written CAPITALISED.'
I had always capitalised them in the past, and never been marked down for this. I know for a fact at least a few of my classmates did the same. And not to mention: that's an incredibly dumb thing to nitpick???
I was angry, obviously, but there is only so much a year 6 can argue in the face of someone like Mrs M, no matter how stubborn they are. So I finally went screw it, ok, I'll do this her way. Why not. I still know I'm right.
Fast forward to next week: spelling test, same deal, all correct. And this time, all lowercase, too. And what did she give me?
Another zero.
Why?
'because, if you put a word on a NEW LINE, it should ALWAYS be CAPITALISED.'
other things mrs m has done (hall of fame):
yelled at me for "throwing a chair" when it (after being put up for the end of the day) fell off a table of its own accord. It was not my chair, nor even at my table group. also, I was sitting down and reading halfway across the room
she decided she didn't like one of her previous Favourites (for reasons I won't get into) and yelled at her for an extended period of time. why? because she finished something early, and asked what work she should do next. How unforgiveable...
we did one of those "make super super detailed how-to instructions like for a computer" assignments, and she shouted at me (I sense a theme) for being 'too detailed'.
Oh, and once I yawned, and she shouted at me for that!! Thinking back, a lot of my year 6 was getting shouted at while trying not to laugh. I did openly laugh at her a couple of times. Her reaction was always even funnier. (I really tried not to provoke her though--don't get me wrong. I don't love yelling. Well, nobody does. But specifically, it's loud, and I'm autistic... anyway)
and oh. oh yeah. she told my old friend she was 'too silly' and 'obnoxious to be around', and 'will never be taken seriously in life if she keeps going on like that'. It got to her. It really got to her. She was never quite as joyful/carefree after that talk.
I think of Mrs M as a joke, a place to mine for funny conversation material. She was something I never took seriously, that I kinda enjoyed thwarting. But other people, people in the same class, got actually hurt by her. Had long-lasting effects from all her nonsense.
God, I forgot about that.
when i was a kid i got a 90% on my kindergarten "what are your favorite things?" test because for the question "what is your favorite animal?" i wrote down "puma" and it got marked wrong because my teacher said a puma isnt even an animal its a kind of shoe

And They Were Roommates 11
this sat in my drafts for a while because of the whole tiktok ban thing.
Summary: you prank James and it makes for a great tiktok.
word count: 1.5k
cw: swearing once or twice
Tumblr media
The boys really didn’t understand what you were up to now. 
They understood the concepts of social media and partook in the occasional instagram post, but they were all so… different.
You knew that they went to a boarding school that didn’t allow any technology, and they were severely lacking in the pop culture department, but usually Remus could fill in the gaps for the other two boys. He was the one who had seen all the movies you’d reference or know about a celebrity that you were talking about. 
But when it came to silly trends and social media references, the boys were completely lost.
So, you decided to take advantage of their lack of understanding for a good laugh. Even though the girls also went to this boarding school, they still had a good understanding of the world. You and Lily would send funny videos or TikToks to each other, Mary would always discuss the latest celebrity tea with you, and Marlene would recommend new artists she found and send them to you to give a listen to. The point is, they weren’t as blind to these things as the boys were, maybe the boys were just heavily sheltered?
Either way, when you rounded them all up to explain that you wanted to do a silly trend, they looked at you in bewilderment. You had to explain multiple times what a “hear me out cake” was. You explained to them the premise, that there would be a cake that you all would take turns decorating with people and characters that you think were attractive and the rest of the group would have to ‘hear you out’ on why. 
You all compiled your lists and sent the pictures up to Remus’s printer in his room. You noticed the boys had far less than yourself, but that was ok, you were really just trying to prank James and send the video to Lily.
The other day he had scared the daylights out of you when you thought you were home alone. He thought it was hilarious, you did not, so you knew you had to get him back somehow and you knew he wouldn’t be expecting this at all. None of them would, and you were ready to show off your mischievous side.
You sat in the living room, cutting out your images and taping them to toothpicks to later pop in the cake. Remus and James were kind enough to run to the store down the road and pick up a cake. You laughed at the inscription iced on top; a generic “Happy Birthday” with balloons iced around the corners.
“It’s perfect.” you smiled up at them.
They set the cake on the dining table as you and Sirius made your way into the kitchen. You handed both Remus and James their pictures and set your phone up to start recording. 
“I still don’t really get it,” Sirius said from beside you, “Why do you have to film it? And why do you want to know who we find fit?”
You laughed as you hit the record button, stepping back and in line with the boys. “Because it’s just a stupid TikTok thing. I thought it would be funny.” you said, looking up at Sirius and batting your lashes, knowing he would go along with whatever you wanted when you looked at him like that.
“Fine,” he said finally.
“Ok, I'll go first,” you said. You pulled out a picture and stuck it in the cake. “James Sully.” You finished placing the picture of the blue avatar front and center.
“The Avatar?” Remus asked as James said, “Why is he blue?” to Sirius. Sirius just shrugged and looked to Remus for an answer. “He’s from a movie,” he explained.
“That thing isn’t even human,” Sirius laughed.
You laughed too, shrugging. “I mean he kinda is… and I thought he was cute ok?”
The boys shook their heads, if they didn’t understand the premise of this game before, they definitely didn’t now.
“Ok, ok,” Sirius said, “I’ll go next.” He picked out a picture and placed it next to yours.
“Sirius,” you said softly, “That’s a cat.” You stared at the picture of the gray tabby on the cake. And he had the audacity to poke fun at you for your ‘non-human’ character.
“Well,” Sirius began, “I didn’t have a picture of her so… this will have to do.”
“Didn’t have a picture of who?” James asked.
Sirius turned to James slightly. “Minnie.” He stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“Sirius,” Remus sighed under his breath. James just burst into laughter, leaning on an unamused Remus for support. “What is wrong with you?”
You didn’t quite understand the joke, and you certainly didn't know who ‘Minnie’ was, but it was nice to see Remus and James giggle like that. Your plan was working, you were getting them all to loosen up a little.
James went next. He placed a picture of Princess Leia then stood back and said nothing. Maybe he didn’t get the rules of this little game. “James…” you began, “Why would we have to hear you out… she’s a conventionally attractive person.” you giggled.
He shrugged in reply. “But she's an alien right?” Oh but your ‘alien’ wasn’t ok… hypocrite.
“I mean, not really.” Remus said.
“Well she doesn't live on Earth.” James countered.
“Ok we are not arguing about Star Wars right now you nerds.” You laughed. “Go Remmy.” Remus placed an old photo of Jane Austen on the cake. “Wow… You really are a nerd.” you sighed. You stepped forward to go again.
You decided to play out your little prank on James now. You placed your picture on the cake and stepped back without a word, trying to contain your laughter. You caught the smile on Remus’s face.
“You want to explain that one?” Remus asked.
You shook your head. “Nope.” You answered.
It took all but a moment for James to realize who the picture was. “THAT’S MY DAD!” James yelled. There was a flash in your peripheral vision which turned out to be Sirius falling to the floor with laughter. You held it together for as long as you could, but the second James ripped the picture off the cake and turned back to you, you couldn’t help but giggle. 
“This is my dad!” James kept repeating, shaking the picture at you. Even Remus was chuckling behind you, Sirius on the floor almost in tears and clutching his stomach.
“Where did you even get this picture? What, I mean… How even?” James was at a complete loss for words and you were losing it. You would never tell him where you got it. Lily would get a kick out of this video for sure. 
“Well James,” Remus chuckled again from behind where you stood, nudging you aside softly to make his way back to the cake. “I have a feeling you’re not gonna like this one.” He placed a picture of a woman you didn’t know. She was beautiful, looked kind. 
For a second the room was quiet, James and Sirius trying to see who it was that Remus placed on the cake. Sirius burst into another fit of laughter as James shrieked “WHAT THE FUCK!”
You looked to Remus who was full on laughing now. James kicked Sirius in the leg. “Shut up! She’s basically your mother too.”
“Wait, that's James’s mother?” you said, quickly making your way over and plucking the picture off the cake, holding it out in front of you to compare it to James. You could see the resemblance now. You decided to play along with Remus now. “Huh, you know what Remmy, she is hot.” you giggled. If that were to come out of either Sirius or Remus, James definitely would have punched them.
Remus threw his hands up in defence. “She said it, not me.”
James shook his head, speechless. “Why.” was all he could get out.
“Well I couldn’t put Sirius’s mother, now could I?” Remus stated matter of factly. 
Sirius, who was still on the floor and struggling for breath, managed to wheeze out, “They did… all that… for a your mum joke…” He was definitely crying with laughter now.
“Oh no,” You said, the boys attention turning to you, “We didn’t work together on this.” you held out your hand in front of Remus and he took the hint, giving you a victorious high five. 
“Great minds just think alike,” Remus agreed with you.
James’s face was quite priceless, somewhere in between shocked and baffled. 
“I wanted to get back at you for scaring me the other day.” you explained to him. He seemed to come to understand, but still so confused and freaked out that you had a picture of his dad that you had never met.
James looked to Remus for his explanation, but Remus only smirked back at him. “I Just think your mum is hot.” Remus joked. James was on him in an instant, tackling him to the kitchen floor. Sirius had finally pulled himself together enough to sit up and start wiping the tears from his eyes. You sat next to Sirius on the floor and watched as James attempted to wrestle Remus to the ground, partially successful, but you could tell Remus was letting him win, his reward for putting up with you all calling his family hot.
You couldn’t wait to send this video to Lily.

s.h. | we need to warm up (one shot)
Tumblr media
a/n: it's been a while since i posted a steve fic, so here it issssss. this is a combination of a friends episode and a scene from an old tv show i used to watch when i was a teenager.
warnings: being locked up in closed spaces, language, mentions of sex and injuries (freezing), english is not my first language. some stuff may not be accurate. MINORS DNI. credits to the gif owner!
summary: steve and you worked at scoops ahoy together and one day while you two were bickering about something silly, you got stuck in a walk-in refrigerator.
steve harrington x afab!oc!reader.
🚫do NOT copy, translate or put my work thru an AI.
Robin, your best friend, helped you get this job at Scoops Ahoy a couple of months ago. The work itself wasn’t ideal because you had to put up with a lot of annoying people (and cleaning toilets wasn’t very appealing either), but the pay was pretty good and it allowed you to combine it with your study schedule. The best parts were obviously the free ice cream and sharing shifts with your bestie.
You also had to share several shifts with Steve Harrington. You didn’t like him at first if you were being completely honest. You knew him from before because you had shared a few classes at Hawkins High, but you never actively talked to him. He was very handsome and charming, but his reputation of being a womanizer and a douchebag preceded him so for you that was enough to keep your distance.
However, everything changed when you took on this job. On the bright side, has had some personal growth over the last few months so this made spending time with him a lot easier. Of course, the King Steve persona sometimes came into the light and he could get insufferable, but you still enjoyed his company. You could say you had more of a ‘frenemies’ relationship. Definitely, one of the things that amused you the most was bickering with Steve, so when the work day was quiet, you’d pick a silly argument just for the sake of it. 
Thus, that’s what led the two of you to discuss the topic of sex in the middle of one casual Saturday afternoon in mid-September at Scoops Ahoy. The weather was chiller than the one from previous weeks, but there were some people that weren’t going to let the climate get in the way of getting ice cream. You couldn’t blame them though. Robin was at the register machine, getting the customers’ orders and Steve and you were organizing the stock at the back of the shop.
“Harrington, are you really saying that kissing and foreplay are not as important as the sex part!?”, you exclaimed a bit too loudly while you glared at your coworker with a questioning look. He just quirked his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders meaning ‘Yes, I said what I said. Deal with it.’
You didn’t feel any shame talking about these topics. In fact, you were pretty bold. Especially with Steve. He had that vibe that made everyone around him feel comfortable with discussing or doing anything. Of course. King Steve, ladies and gentlemen. 
“Why would I prefer the opening act when I know I’ll be seeing, I dunno, The Police soon?”
You let out a chuckle.
“You have been spending more time with Eddie, haven’t you?”, he gave you a mocking look. It was no secret that Steve wasn’t a fan of Eddie, especially because recently he had been stealing Dustin’s attention and that made Steve more jealous than he cared to admit. You couldn’t help but smile at the cuteness of Steve and Dustin’s relationship and his jealousy.
You grabbed one of the boxes with new ice cream flavours that were recently delivered to the shop because you had to carry them to the walk-in refrigerator, but since the two boxes were really heavy you asked Steve for help. At first he pretended to ignore you, but then he smiled teasingly and grabbed the other one to give you a hand. You had trouble deciding whether you hated that smile or you loved it… It was probably the latter. 
As soon as you entered the refrigerator, the chilly air hit your skin. You carefully placed the box you were carrying on the floor and put the door wedge so it wouldn’t close while you were in there. The door was pretty heavy because it needed to stay shut in order to keep the temperature low, but also, the door handle wasn’t working pretty well.
“Anyways, for us girls they’re really equally important”, you resumed your little argument while you two arranged the ice creams on the various shelves, categorizing them by their flavor. “We can get all the information we need about the other person from the first kiss. I can’t believe you don’t like it.”
You looked at him from the corner of your eye and noticed that he rolled his.
“No, honey”, he paused and sighed. You screamed internally at the pet name. He usually called you by your name or ‘Smarty Pants’ whenever you gave him witty comebacks. “It’s not that I don’t like it. I do, but I’d rather get down to the real business quicker.”
“Well, hun, friendly advice, if you keep thinking like that, you’ll have to settle with solo concerts.”
Steve wanted to give you the middle finger so badly but couldn’t do it because he had his hands full so he had to contempt himself by sticking out his tongue in a mocking tone. You gave him a playful nudge on the shoulder and then he gave you another one back but Steve was stronger than you so you tripped backwards and accidentally kicked the door wedge and the refrigerator door closed. 
“Fuck”, the two of you blurted out in unison; your heartbeats picking up rapidly. You exchanged looks and frowned your eyebrows at the same time. Under different circumstances, you would have laughed at the synchronicity.
“This is your fault.”
“How is this my fault, Harrington? You pushed me!”, you replied back while you got up from the floor and adjusted your uniform.
“You made me come in here!”
“I simply asked for your help!”
You decided it was useless to continue with this bickering so you kneeled down before the door handle to try to make it work. However, it was useless. The door refused to budge. You had repeatedly asked Keith, your boss, to call the repair guy to fix said handle but of course he never did. You cursed him under your breath while you got back up and started screaming and banging on the door.
“ROBIN! HELP! SOMEBODY”, Steve joined you but nobody seemed to hear. “HELLO, WE’RE INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR!”, you both screamed over and over again.
“I hope Robin notices quickly we’re nowhere to be seen. If not, we’re going to freeze to death”, you lifted your hands to massage your scalp, trying to prevent yourself from spiraling. Extremely difficult task given the not so encouraging situation. You didn’t consider yourself a claustrophobic person but you weren’t a fan.
“Don’t exaggerate, Y/N. It’s just a little bit of cold”, he shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand dismissively, as if brushing off your very real concern. 
If looks could kill, he would be reduced to ashes right now. 
“Unlike you, I don’t have teenage-like hormones, Steve. I get cold easily.”
He was about to reply with another witty comment, but he noticed how anxious you were getting. He saw your right leg start bouncing rapidly and how you bit your fingernails—subtle things you did when you were nervous or distressed. He had noticed them before. He let out a defeated sigh.
“OK, I’m being serious right now: we’re going to get out of here in a heartbeat, don’t worry.” 
You went back to the screaming and banging, hoping that someone outside would hear you at that very moment and get you out of there. Unfortunately, you were alone with the echoes of your voice and movements. Meanwhile, Steve was pacing the small place, thinking of any other possible escape. 
After some minutes that felt like hours, the cold and the confinement were starting to take a toll on you. You sat on the floor with your back against the door to keep hitting it, more occasionally now. The Scoops Ahoy uniform was not enough to keep you warm; your body started trembling so you hugged yourself, keeping your knees close to your chest. Steve heard your shivering breaths. He scanned the ‘room’ one more time and saw the empty cardboard boxes stacked where you had been organizing the ice cream.
“We can use the empty ice cream boxes to keep us warm”, you gave him a questioning look. encouraging him to clarify. “We can break them down to sit on them and then put the other parts over our bodies”.
“God bless that big head of yours, Harrington.”, you smiled and tried to stand up but it wasn’t as easy as before. Your body was getting stiffer. Steve gave you a hand.
The two of you started tearing up the boxes and placing the flattened pieces on the floor next to the door and then cutting up bigger sections to use as makeshift blankets. 
“Well, it’s better than nothing”, Steve commented once you were all set and you agreed, keeping the cardboard boxes as close to your body as possible. 
It was far from being the perfect solution, but it worked… for a couple of minutes. Then, you started shivering again. You got up to the point where you could no longer feel your legs. You wanted to keep screaming and banging on the door but the little energy you had was starting to wear off. You decided to save it for later.
“Fuck, it’s so cold in here. I can’t stand it anymore”, you blurted out, more to yourself than anything and tried to rub your hands violently against your legs to get some warmth.
“Come here”, Steve whispered while opening his arms, motioning you to huddle closer to him so you could share whatever body heat you had left. It was true, Steve had a higher body temperature than any other person either of you knew but he wasn’t sure of how much that was going to last. He was feeling colder too.
You were hesitant to accept his embrace at first because you weren’t used to sharing physical contact with him but you quickly decided that it was worth trying it. Once you were beside him, he put his arms around your shaking frame and put two cardboard boxes over both your bodies. He rested his head on top of yours and you hugged him, wrapping your arms around his waist. Despite everything, this felt strangely nice and comfortable.
“We’re gonna get out of here, I promise”, he said after some silence and you could see the wisps of vapor that looked like smoke coming out of his mouth. 
You were too tired and weak to say or do anything. It seemed the temperature kept dropping every second. There was some frost on your hair and your eyelashes. Steve had it on his perfect hair too. At this moment, you actually believed you were going to die there. You snuggled closer into Steve’s embrace; not that it was really possible because you were practically glued to him.
You slowly started to drift off; your eyelids felt like two bricks of concrete. Steve went into alert mode when he felt you relax under his touch. “Hey, Y/N. Can you hear me?”
You let out a barely audible “Mh” and he started rubbing circles on your arm, close to your elbow.
“Stay awake, OK?”
He knew you couldn’t fall asleep if you had hypothermia. He didn’t know why but he remembered one of his biology teachers who explained that your body functions would slow down even more, which could be deadly. He didn’t even want to imagine that happening. 
At first, he didn’t want to admit he liked you because you were a pain in the neck, but then, as he spent more and more time with you, he learned you were funny, smart, and although you annoyed him to boredom sometimes, you were kind-hearted. Also, you had one of the most contagious laughs he has ever heard. And on top of that, you were insanely pretty. 
This drastic situation helped him realize he didn’t want to lose you, in any way. He couldn’t.
“I can’t.”, you whispered once again.
“Yes, you can”, his hands moved upwards to cup both your cheeks now; his desperate eyes fixed on your face. “Open your eyes, please, darling”. You wanted to laugh at the nickname but you didn’t even have the strength to do so. His voice was trembling now too. He didn’t know if out of the cold he was feeling or of the fear of something happening to you. He placed a kiss on your forehead. “Come on, I wanna see those pretty eyes.”
“I’m cold, Stevie. I’m sorry.”
You only used that nickname to tease him because he hated it. Now, it scratched his brain just right. He didn’t fail to notice you looked so small, so fragile. He didn’t know how, but he could feel you slip away from him.
“No, no, no, no”, he blurted out quickly. “Y/N, listen to me. Focus on my voice and my hands”, he rubbed circles on both of your cheeks. “Don’t fall asleep. Talk to me.”
His serious but also desperate tone made you realize the gravity of your state.
“About what?”, you whispered as you tried to get your whole attention to his gentle touches and his breathing. 
“About anything. Tell me a secret, a memory, an embarrassing story. Whatever comes to your mind, just talk to me.”
You gathered strength out of nowhere and opened your eyes. You saw Steve sigh with a little bit of relief. He also looked exhausted and cold, but there was something in his eyes that told you he was not giving up easily. You couldn’t say so for yourself, sadly.
“Your pretty eyes are the last pair I’m going to see”, you spoke slowly. Steve’s heart broke a little at your statement.
“No, don’t say things like that.. I need you to stay here with me. Please. I need you to stay alive so I can take you on a date when we’re out of here”, his voice and the movements on your skin were starting to slow down too. “I don’t want to leave this planet before kissing your beautiful lips.”
You gave him a weak smile.
“Do it now, Stevie.”
He lifted his eyebrows, thinking he heard you incorrectly. But then, you directed your eyes to his own lips, so he took it as an invitation and wasted no time. The kiss was slow and short but sweet nonetheless. None of you had much energy to keep going for longer, much to your dismay.
“That’s the way to warm up, right?”, he joked and you let out a choked laugh.
You went back to your tight embrace. You weren’t sure how much time you had left. You stopped trembling a couple of minutes ago and you knew that wasn’t a good sign. You thought about your family and your friends. One single tear fell from your left eye.
Just about when Steve was going to wipe it, you heard some noises on the other side of the door. You two looked at each other and Steve used the adrenaline rush to get back on his feet and helped you do the same.
“HELP, WE’RE STUCK IN THE REFRIGERATOR. PLEASE HELP”, Steve was the one yelling and you attempted to bang the door as loud as you could.
And then, the door finally opened. You squinted your eyes due to the sudden change of lightning and tried to make out the silhouette that was standing in front of you, but before you could see who it was or do anything else, your legs gave in and your vision went black, which resulted in you passing out on the ground.
Your eyelids fluttered open as the characteristic antiseptic hospital smell hit your nose. The sterile white walls were the first thing you saw. Your body still felt cold, even though you had several blankets wrapped around your frame. You turned your head to the side and saw Steve sitting on a chair, wrapped on a blanket as well. His eyes were closed and his head was slightly tilted to the side. He looked worn off but really adorable.
“Steve?”, you called his name but you didn’t recognize your own voice. It was really sore. The boy opened his eyes and gave you a sweet smile. There was a mixture of relief and concern in his look.
“Hey… You gave us quite the scare.” You apologized and he shrugged it off. “Your parents are already here. They’re filling out the paperwork.” He grabbed the chair and moved it forward to be closer to your bed. Then he grabbed your hand that was hidden under the blankets. “I should call the doctor to let her know you had woken up.”
You nodded but refused to let his hand go so he could stand up. His heart melted.
“We need to talk about our date”, you casually mentioned between giggles.
“You don’t waste a minute, don’t you?”, he chuckled, shaking his head. “I assure you, it’s going to be a date to die for.” Now it was your turn to laugh. 
aaaand the end... i hope you enjoyed it! and as always, i'd love to read some comments with your opinions :) and i'm also taking request, so there's your chance to leave a nice ask 💗

Celebrating Valentine’s Day with BSD men
BSD men x reader, I did not use pronouns for the reader, but in some cases, it is subtly implied to be female, though not overtly so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He would gift you—very much in line with what Asagiri confirmed—an entire country. Be prepared to manage political affairs because you will be the president and owner of your favourite nation. Congratulations!
Expect a lavish candlelit dinner, accompanied by classical music and an exquisite orchestra.
You can also look forward to many other gifts—he is never one to hold back. Your shared bedroom will likely be filled with presents, each meticulously crafted and designed just for you. The sheer intricacy and depth of his knowledge about you will leave you breathless.
The night will conclude with a magnificent fireworks display.
You made the right choice by choosing to live in isolation with him, basking in the luxury he provides—not that your answer would have made a difference if you had said no.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dazai Osamu
We all know that Dazai—the Dazai—is, unsurprisingly, utterly broke and survives off the money of his fellow ADA members, such as Atsushi and Kunikida. (We love a pest.🩵)
He isn’t the overtly romantic type, but that doesn’t mean his love is any less intense.
He will likely buy you a bouquet of roses with Kunikida’s money and give Atsushi his best puppy-dog eyes to help him get you a pair of matching rings.
But then comes the truly unexpected part—he takes you stargazing in the freezing cold, having put in all the effort to create a soft, cosy space for you both to lie on, complete with extra blankets and pillows.
And when it starts snowing? You are going home, of course—not that he didn’t account for this. He has another present waiting for you there—one he actually bought himself, which is precisely why he had no money left for anything else.
He is a pervert. That is all I am going to say.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nakahara Chuuya
Another man with refined tastes and a big, considerate, loving heart for his darling. He would spend weeks—if not months—thinking about the perfect way to celebrate this day with you, determined to make it unforgettable.
Chuuya pays attention—he really does, because he cares that much. Though he is not the best with subtleties, he does his best to take mental notes on everything you like and dislike, everything you want and do not want.
So, expect gifts that are carefully chosen, each one making it clear just how much he notices about you.
The evening will likely begin with him presenting you with a luxuriously crafted dress from a high-end designer—one he specifically picked for you. He wants you to wear it because he is taking you somewhere special, and of course, you will, with the brightest smile on your face.
You will dine at an exclusive restaurant, sharing exquisite wine and food together.
And knowing Chuuya, he will not stop at just one gift. Throughout the night, he will keep surprising you, giving you something new every half hour—because spoiling you is just second nature to him.

Nikolai Gogol
Haha, you silly thing. You actually think Valentine’s Day is romantic? That ridiculous day where Homo sapiens willingly cage themselves—not even in their own perception of love, but in the artificial fantasy constructed by capitalism?
Just joking. If you find it romantic, then of course, he does too. Or at least, he pretends to. Watching your reactions to his “gifts” is far too entertaining. He might as well play along and turn this whole romance thing into one of his little games.
Expect the most outrageous surprises—perhaps he will take you on a helicopter ride, only to reveal that he has written I love you on the ground below… using meticulously arranged corpses. A heartfelt, handcrafted message just for you.
Or maybe he will gift you something else grotesque—something that reminds him of you or symbolises your love in his own twisted way.
Oh, and expect plenty of Valentine’s Day quizzes.

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke
Now, here is someone who has no idea what to do with himself on Valentine’s Day.
To him, it is pointless. Why should this day be any different from the others? And why are you looking at him like that? The expectation in your gaze makes him feel cornered.
But Akutagawa hates being behind on anything. So, despite thinking this whole thing is ridiculous (such a tsundere), he still makes an effort. He prepares something for you—a small but meaningful gift, something that proves he has thought about you, about this day, and has put effort into making you happy.
And once it is over, he lets out a relieved sigh.
Yet, later that night, when he recalls the joy on your face upon receiving his gift, he feels something warm and unfamiliar flicker inside him. He refuses to acknowledge it—but deep down, he knows.

I had a silly idea about a possible way Shadow could meet the Wachowskis again after falling back to earth, so I wrote something for it. I'll make an ao3 account at some point and post it there as well. Warnings for injuries i guess? Nothing too bad tho.
Anyway enjoy my dumb one shot (also hints of possible sonadow but way too early for either of them to understand any feelings yet)
Shadow's first thoughts after landing hard into the ground were how dizzy and cold he was. He had to think for a moment, had he survived that blast? Must have. You dont feel this sore all over if you're dead. He groaned and slowly rolled onto his back and looked up at the sky. It was a vibrant shade of blue, similar to Sonic he realized. He hoped the idiot was alive as he watched some clouds go by. He was so distracted by his anger the last few days that he had not noticed how beautiful the sky was during the day too. He could feel the burns on his skin start to heal, and he stayed there for a while until the sun began to set. Then he had to force himself up and search for his disgarded inhibitor rings. Luckily, they landed nearby.
Once they were found, he tried to figure out where he was. He was in a crater among some tall snow-capped mountains. He had landed in some sort of dense wilderness. The view was wonderful, but the air was starting to get even more of a chill. His gloves had disintegrated during his fall through earths atmosphere, and he could feel the cold on the pads of his hands. Honestly, he could feel it down to his core, like his bones were cold. He had to move though.
He checked if his air shoes were still in tact enough for him to glide instead of walking, and thankfully, they were. He didn't have enough chaos energy at the moment to just teleport down the mountain. His lower left leg was trying to heal from what he guessed was some sort of fracture or strain, and putting weight on it was incredibly uncomfortable. Even gliding still hurt, but he was able to ignore it for now. He had to. He stopped to hide in various small caves and under fallen tree roots when he thought he heard humans nearby walking around or needed to rest his leg.
After over a week in the forest, around dusk, he came across a large sign that read, "Welcome to Green Hills." He moved slower as a brief rain and snow shower mix blew through. He shivered and tried to stay hidden as he approached town. He realized the glow from his shoes could give him away, and now he had no choice but to walk, which turned into a limp.
"Fuck, maybe I did break something," he hissed as he stopped to rest again. The lack of food was slowing his healing. He ended up taking his shoe off on that foot and carrying it. The weight of it was hurting too much. He realized he had never felt grass under his bare feet before. It was nice, even if it was crunchy, cold, and wet.
He continued walking along the road, avoiding stepping in any patches of snow as best he could, just out of sight in the treeline. He was lost in thought when a deer ran out in front of him and startled him enough that he used what little chaos energy he had to move. Big mistake since he didn't have a specific location in mind. He panicked and landed hard on the road, directly in front of a large pickup up truck that had swerved to miss the deer from seconds ago, and it did not have time to brake fully. The pain in his leg and blinding headlights in his eyes made him freeze as his ears went flat against his head.
‐---------------
About 10 minutes earlier, Sonic was helping Maddie load some groceries into the back of the truck. Normally, all three boys would tag along, but with Tom still healing and insisting he needed the air, Knuckles and Tails stayed home to prevent any accidental added stress. Sonic also did not like leaving Tom's side yet.
Speaking of Tom, there was some short bickering between the two adults as Tom had snuck into the driver's seat while she was loading everything into the back.
"It's 15 minutes back home, let me drive. Please? I drive with one arm all the time."
Sonic laughs, "Yeah, when you're stuffing your face full of donuts, but you could still use that arm."
Maddie groaned, "Okay fine, but if you're so healed and competent now, you can also make dinner when we get home."
"Deal." Tom couldn't hide his grin, and Maddie looked ready to slap him on the back of his head. Sonic was seatbelted between them, kicking his legs, happy his family was getting back to normal. He opened the sunroof so he could look at the stars that were peaking out behind some clouds. He was uncharacteristically quiet and lost in thought.
"You thinking about Shadow again, Bud?" Tom finally asked him.
Sonic nodded, "yeah, I just miss him. He deserved a second chance, and he didn't even get to fully take it. Doesn't seem fair."
Maddie pet his head, "I know, sweetie, earth failed him. I'm just so glad we found you before GUN did."
Sonic leaned against her and watched the stars for another minute until they completed disappeared behind some clouds. He closed the sunroof when it started to rain and snow a bit.
He shivered, "I thought I smelled snow. It felt cold enough."
Maddie side eyed her husband, "Tom, if you crash in this weather, I will kill you."
Tom laughed nervously, "Relax, it's not even sticking to the road at all. Actually, it looks like it stopped up ahead."
Suddenly, Sonic started sneezing, repeatedly.
Maddie groaned, "Sonic, is this just something in your nose, or is danger coming."
Tom scoffed, "Oh, come on him sneezing is not a sign of danger, that's just a coincid- ... OH SHIT."
They all screamed as a deer suddenly ran out in front of them, and he had to swerve and brake.
Sonic yelled, "SEE NOT A COINCID- ... LOOK OUT!" Something black suddenly appeared on the road as well. They were still mid swerve, and Tom could not swerve again without risking tipping the truck. He also was a bit too shocked to see those red eyes glowing at them. All he could think to do was slam on the brakes as hard as he could. They felt one of the front truck tires bounce over something.
Shadow managed to duck his head down in time, but said truck tire went over his already injured leg that he couldn't curl up to his body as fast as the other one. There was a lot of screaming from inside the truck, that was now above him. One of the voices sounded familiar. He couldn't chaos control himself again, still entirely too worn out. He was afraid he would land somewhere worse anyway and could only mentally prepare himself to run if need be.
Inside the truck, Maddie and Tom slowly looked at each other before finally looking down at the Sonic. Sonic looked just as shocked as them before he finally unbuckled himself and stood up on the seat, "Tom, we told you you shouldn't drive with one arm! You just got out of the hospital yesterday, and you hit a ... a ... hedgehog? wait. Wait. ... was that Shadow. Is he alive? ... oh god, the truck bounced ... OH MY GOD, DAD, DID YOU JUST RUN OVER SHADOW?????." He zipped out of the car in a flash, and Maddie gave her husband an exhausted look before she soon followed.
Tom needed another moment before he got out as well. 'What the hell just happened', he thought. These kids were going to give him a stroke.
Sonic quickly got on the ground behind the truck and looked under the bed. Yep, there was Shadow, curled up between the back tires with his quills sticking out in all crazy directions in defense, clearly giving into the instinct to make himself as big and scary as possible. "Jeez, you look like a wet feral cat under there. Why are you missing a shoe? Are you okay?"
There were some orange sparks and a low growl before he realized who was talking to him. "... Sonic? What are you -"
Before he could register anything, Sonic grinned and quite literally yanked him out from under the truck by his quills and pulled him into a hug. Shadow actually hissed at him.
"Oh, come on, it's just a hug, relax. And the quill thing was payback for throwing me by mine back at that base." He laughed, and then paused. "I'm so glad you're alive, Shadow." Sonic sounded almost ready to cry from relief.
Shadow sighed. "It's not that," his voice was a bit shakey from adrenaline still. "I hurt my leg in the fall, and then whatever idiot is driving your truck ran it over. If it wasn't broken before, it sure is now"
Sonic pulled away from him and looked over at his leg. It looked swollen. "Oh, that's why you're holding your shoe. MADDIE, he's hurt. Come quick. Tom ran over his leg"
Shadows quills bristled as she slowly approached with a first aid kit and a flashlight. "Who is she?"
"Shhh, relax, Shadow. I won't hurt you. I'm Maddie. Tom's wife, otherwise known as the idiot who ran you over. You've, uh, met before." Her tone was a little sharper at the end than she meant for it to sound. She felt bad when shadow flinched at her tone. He looked incredibly pathetic with his ears back like that and visibly shivering. And young. He must be Sonic's age. 'Oh no, we're going to adopt this one too arent we?' She thought to herself.
Sonic was about to reassure Shadow that it was safe when Tom got out of the truck.
"I'm an idiot? Why is he appearing out of thin air into traffic? I didn't even know you kids could do stuff like that" He didn't sound mad. He was even laughing a little. Until he saw Shadow's leg. He frowned and knelt down beside them. Shadow backed up into Sonic and growled again. He looked very nervous now. Both adults felt their heartstrings tug a little. He just looked like a scared kid to them. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hit you. You're safe, don't worry."
Shadow stopped growling and just titled his head confused, " ... you didn't hit me on purpose? For revenge?"
Sonic rolled his eyes and hugged him again, "Dude, we seriously need to ban that word from your vocabulary."
Tom laughed, "No, of course not." He realized Shadow was being completely serious and not joking. "Wait, why would I purposely try to run you over?"
Shadow glared, "Do you have brain damage? I almost killed you. I'm a little impressed you survived actually." He added dryly.
"Oh trust me, I remember. So you think that means I should try to get back at you, though? You're a kid. " He seemed concerned at his way of thinking. Especially when Shadow just answered "yes" like it was the most obvious answer in the world. He even almost seemed annoyed now that this wasn't on purpose.
"I don't need your pity." He just leaned into Sonic, quills deflating finally. He was so focused on Tom that he didn't even realize Maddie had begun to check his leg until he felt pain from her moving it. He shot her a warning glare and growled, "I didn't say you could touch me."
Sonic squeezed him, "Hey, easy, she's a vet. If you dont trust her, at least trust me. Besides, if you don't let her splint that, I'll have to. And I'll make Knuckles restrain you." Sonic smiled but also looked completely serious.
Shadow groaned, "is he the red one?" Sonic nodded in response, resting his head on top of Shadow's. He couldn't even use his chaos control now even if he wanted to with Sonic having such a firm grip on him. Something told him Sonic was aware of this too. "Fine, but only because I want that big brute touching me even less."
Maddie laughed a little and finished splinting his leg. She also examined his bare foot for injuries. "Well, I'll have to properly resplint this later with better supplies, but all your adorable little toe beans look in tact besides being cold."
Shadow looked at her like she was insane, "what the fuck is a toe bean?" Sonic started laughing into Shadows quills. Even Tom laughed, which startled Shadow. "I don't get what's so funny."
"Just the way you said it, and it's a cute way to refer to pawpads." Maddie joined in the laughter and rubbed his foot to warm it up a little.
"Stop that I'm fine. ... and I'm not cute"
Sonic looked at his face and grinned, "I'm telling you from experience. Pouting does not help. They also think that's cute. Humans are weird like that."
Shadow tried to finally squirm out of Sonic's embrace, "Can I get up now? The road is cold and staying here will draw too much attention"
Maddie nodded and helped Sonic get Shadow into the truck. She had to move to the middle so Shadow could rest with his back against the door and his leg over Sonic's lap. Thankfully, him and Sonic were small enough to both fit onto the passenger seat without being too squished. He also obviously trusted Sonic and didn't mind being so close to him. If Shadow didn't look so apprehensive of them still, she would have commented on how cute they looked together like that.
Instead, Maddie just turned up the heat when she realized Shadow was shivering still. "You look cold. Do you want a blanket? I think there is one behind your seat. How long were you in the woods?"
He sighed as Sonic made the decision for him and got the blanket out, and draped it over him. "A week, I think. Maybe longer. I landed in the mountains."
"Well, when we get home, you can have a nice warm bath and something to eat. You're probably starving. ... and dehydrated. Oh no have you been without water this whole time?"
Shadow snuggled a bit more into the blanket (and Sonic) before answering, "No, I drank from a couple streams, I'm fine." He still didn't understand why they were being so kind. He didn't feel he deserved it. After a long silence, he finally spoke again with a low voice. "Sorry."
Tom pulled into the driveway of their house, and him and Maddie exchanged looks before looking back at Shadow. "For what specifically?"
Shadow's ears were flat against his head again. He looked quite sad and guilty. "For attacking you, I ... I thought you were Walters. He's the one who froze me for 50 years. I was just so angry ... and I wanted him to hurt. He didn't even let me finish saying goodbye." He hated how his voice cracked at the end. He wanted to curl up in a ball, but his leg wouldn't allow it.
Sonic pulled him into another hug, or as much of one as he could with Shadow's left leg also resting on his lap. Maddie slowly put a hand on his head. Shadow flinched a little but didn't protest. She softly pet behind one of his ears, like she does with Sonic when he's upset.
Tom finally spoke, "I hold no grudge against you Shadow, you're just a kid like Sonic. And I can't say I wouldn't have also punched Walters if I went through something like that. Besides, you also saved the world, which includes us. Now, let's get you inside."
Shadow just hid his face into the blanket. "I don't deserve your kindness." His voice cracked more. He really really didn't want to cry, but he was so tired of it all, tired of fighting and hating himself, tired of being so cold. Just everything. It was becoming harder to keep it together. He was absolutely exhausted. He could feel himself shaking more, and he hoped they just assumed it was only because he was cold still.
Maddie pet his head again, "You know, the friend you lost would probably want us to be kind to you. And for you to accept it. So let us."
This time, when he tried to talk, he couldn't find his voice. A small sob escaped instead, and he covered his head with the blanket, which caused Sonic to hug him as tight as he could. They were right, Maria would want someone to help him. It was just hard to accept. He needed a minute to calm himself, but he eventually allowed Maddie to pry him away from Sonic and carry him inside.
He tried to protest being carried like a child, but she would not allow it, not with a broken leg anyway. So he accepted it and rested his head on her shoulder, sniffling a few times as quietly as he could.
Once inside, Sonic got his other shoe off, and what was left of a very dirty burned sock, and placed both shoes by the door next to his. Knuckles and Tails looked up from the couch, and Tom shushed them before they could react too loudly. Even though Shadow was mostly covered by the blanket, the other two instantly recognized the fur pattern on his legs and feet. Tails ears were back, clearly concerned about how bad the one leg looked.
"Is that the more impressive hedgehog? Is he alright?" Knuckles finally asked.
Maddie held Shadow tighter when she felt him tense up, "Yes, and he'll be fine, mostly cold, I think. I'm going to take him upstairs for a bath and a proper look at his leg. Go help Tom with dinner since he still has his arm in a sling. He'll explain everything. You too, Sonic."
"Yeah, let me tell you both how Tom clearly shouldn't be driving yet and literally ran Shadow over with the truck."
Maddie could hear them bicker about it while she walked upstairs. She set Shadow down on the bathroom counter while she got the bath started. His eyes were still a bit wet, but he looked calmer now, just tired. She held some bottles up to him, "Which of these scents do you like better?"
Shadow seemed surprised, "I get to pick? Why?"
Maddie looked concerned at his confusion, "I want you to like it. No one wants to smell like something they don't like."
He slowly sniffed the bottles, and finally picked the lavender ones. He wrapped the blanket tighter around himself while she undid the makeshift splint and checked his leg.
"If you'll trust me, I would like to get this x-rayed tomorrow. Sonic can stay with you. You might need a cast"
"You don't need to, just splint it so the bone is straight, and it should fully heal in a few days as long as I eat something."
She sighed, "I shouldn't believe you, but nothing would surprise me these days with you bunch. However, if there is no improvement in a few days, I'm taking you. Now, let's get you warmed up. You're still shaking."
"Yeah, well, I went from nearly burning as I fell through your atmosphere to plumetting into a snow-covered mountain."
Maddie paused for a moment, "You fell all the way down to earth? How are you not burned and more injured ... how are you even alive." She began to palpate him, discovering some cracked ribs.
"Stop, I'm fine. The burns healed already. Bones just take longer. ... and I'm not sure, honestly. ... I wasn't expecting to live."
She really didn't like how disappointed he seemed to be over being alive. Might be time to finally look for a therapist. She brushed the thought aside and picked him up again to help him get into the tub. "Well, I'm glad you're alive. You can't make up for what you did if you're dead. And Sonic would have kept being sad."
He slowly sank down into the water, covering himself up to his chin. At least he looked more relaxed now. Finally he asked, "Sonic was sad? Over me?"
"Of course. He hasn't stopped talking about you. I'm pretty sure he has some sort of crush on you. It's cute." She began to wash his quills and detangle them. She was a pro at this after having to help Sonic with his so often.
Shadow chose to ignore the part about Sonic liking him like that. Clearly, this woman was just stupid. "Yeah, well, he's weird." Despite that, he began to purr softly as she washed his quills, at least until something fell out of his quills and startled them both. He slowly lifted a green gemstone out of the water.
Maddie laughed, "Oh my god, that's where the last one has been. They've been looking for days. Knuckles will bear hug you when he finds out it's safe"
Shadow winces, "Uh, maybe the blue idiot can give it to him then."
She went back to detangling his quills and scrubbing his head, "You know, you'll have to get used to them since you'll be staying here now"
"I didn't make that decision," he tried to sound more serious, but his voice turned into a purr and clicking noise when she scratched his head again. He looked a bit surprised by the noise. Before Maddie could say anything, he looked her dead in the eyes, "Do not call me cute again."
She smiled at him, "Fine, I won't. You're definitely a hedgehog like Sonic though. Also where would you stay if not here? This is the safest place from GUN. Any weird energy outputs, and we just can blame it on Sonic. Unless you want to live outside. During the winter. It gets very cold here." She knew if he was like Sonic, he hated being cold.
Shadow shivered at the thought, "Fine ... why you insist after I almost killed your husband, though, is still strange. You're all strange" He really was starting to think they all had brain damage.
"You're not a bad kid, Shadow. You're just a teenager. A very traumatized one, I assume, from what I've been told. You deserve a second chance. Besides, Sonic wouldn't forgive us if we didn't try. He could have easily ended up like you."
"I guess." It was clearly going to take some work to get him to feel like he deserves kindness. He just rested his head on the side of the tub while she finished washing his back, then she let him do the rest.
Once finished, she wrapped him in a big towel and placed him back by the sink. She put a proper splint on his leg and blowdried and brushed him as much as he would allow before bringing him downstairs where Tom was finishing up dinner. Tails and Knuckles were sitting at the table. Sonic had finished telling them what happened and to be nice to Shadow (mostly aimed at Knuckles), and they agreed. They were also glad Shadow was alive. Knuckles commented that he deserved a second chance like he had gotten. Although he wanted a rematch once the black hedgehog was healed.
When Maddie walked into the dining room still holding him, Tom couldn't help but laugh, "Wow, he gets even fluffier than Sonic does."
She smiled at him, "Right? And look at these cute little ear tufts too. He's more Maine Coon cat than he is hedgehog."
Shadow scowled as one of his ears twitched, "Why does everyone keep comparing me to a cat." Maria used to do it too. He never understood.
She ignored him and sat him down on a chair beside Tails. Sonic ran up and put a stool under his leg. Then he suddenly grabbed one of Shadow's hands.
"Well, these don't help the cat comparisons. jeez, these claws are crazy sharp. We're filing those later so I don't get shredded in my sleep."
Before Shadow could respond to him, Tails suddenly was much closer to him. Too close. "Hi Shadow. Good to see you're alive. How do your shoes work? Do you want me to fix them up? They look so cool." He had been inspecting Shadow's shoes that Sonic put by the door earlier.
Shadow looked surprised and a little overwhelmed. But slowly, he tilted his head, "Why do you want to?"
Knuckles caught on to Shadow's body language and pulled Tails back properly into his seat, and gave him a look.
"Oh, sorry," he laughed, his tails swishing behind him. "And I dont know, they look important to you, I didn't see any power source though, how do you hover?"
"They are, and I power them with my chaos energy. I still don't understand why you want to help me though." Kindness was definitely going to take a while to accept.
Tails just smiled at him, "Well, Sonic trusts you, so I will too. And you saved us all. So you can't be that bad." Knuckles nodded in agreement.
Shadow just blinked at him, "I kicked you and threw a car at you."
Knuckles laughed, "That was nothing for me and my muscles. Besides, when I first met the fox, he hit me with a police car. It's practically tradition at this point."
Shadow looked surprised, "why did you?"
"I was trying to kill the less impressive hedgehog." He laughed as he said this and pointed at Sonic. "The fox was protecting him."
"Dude, just say our names. You know our names. And that's nothing. Tom shot me when we first met." Sonic finally took a seat on the other side of Shadow.
Shadow just slowly looked over at Tom, who was carrying some food in.
"With a tranquilizer gun! No bullets. Jeez. Sonic, please stop leaving that part out."
Sonic just laughed.
"The fuck is wrong with your family Sonic." Shadow finally commented, he looked bewildered.
They all laughed despite his use of language again. That was a conversation for a different day. Tom put a hand on Shadows shoulder, "Well, maybe now you can see why I dont hold a grudge for you punching me. I'm pretty used to this kind of chaos."
Shadow still thought they were all crazy, but he stopped fighting it. Maddie got him to eat a little pasta, and Shadow just observed them all laughing and talking with one another.
Sonic finally spoke to Shadow again after a bit when he noticed him looking lost, ear twitching again as he was listening to everyone. "Oh, uh, Shads. I noticed you tilt your head whenever you're confused about something. That also doesn't help the cute thing. Even I think that's a bit adorable. Why is your ear doing that?"
Shadow scowled and swatted at him when he tried to touch his ear, "Stop calling me cute, I am not cute. I am the ultimate lifeform."
Maddie burst out laughing before stopping, "Oh my god, oh. ... Tom, I think he's serious. Of course you are honey."
Shadow growled, but she didn't seem phased. "You know, if you are the ultimate lifeform, then you would be the best at everything. Including being adorable. Yes?"
Shadow slowly relaxed and stared at her for a moment, seriously contemplating her words. "I suppose I can't argue with that."
Sonic huffed and faked being offended, "Are you implying that you think he's cuter than me? Mom."
Knuckles laughed loudly, "Well, he clearly is the superior hedgehog."
Sonic looked actually offended now, and everyone laughed. Even Shadow smiled a little.
After dinner, Shadow got Knuckle's attention and slowly handed him the missing emerald, "I was told this belongs to you."
Knuckles looked beyond surprised and thrilled, "The last one! It is not lost forever after all! I shall visit Wade tomorrow and reform the Master Emerald." He went to hug Shadow.
Shadow quickly put his hands up, "No, no, broken ribs. Hug Sonic instead in my place"
Before Sonic could register what was happening, he was pulled into a bone crushing hug. Literally you could hear them cracking. Sonic groaned. "Please let me go, I'm not dying like this."
Knuckles laughed and put him down, "Don't be so dramatic blue hedgehog. This is the best news we have had all week! We can continue our pact to protect the emerald. Thank you, Shadow."
Shadow gave him a small smile before Sonic interrupted, "What you can't call me by my name. Why are you so weird."
Before Knuckles could respond, Shadow got off the chair, using it to support his weight so he could keep his leg off the ground. He ruffled Sonic's quills and then flicked his forehead, "He probably does it because you get so worked up. You're an easy target."
"Wow, rude. I am not. ... wait" Sonic suddenly realized how much shorter Shadow looked. He grinned ear to ear, "Oh my god, am I taller than you? Aren't you older than me?"
Shadow scowled, "Absolutely not ... okay, maybe a little. SHUT UP."
Sonic just laughed as Shadow started to pout. "I told you pouting also makes you look cute. Especially combined with the ear twitch."
Shadow covered his ears and growled at Sonic and Knuckles, who was also laughing a bit.
Maddie and Tom interrupted them before the bickering got any louder, especially since Shadow was starting to spark. "Okay, enough picking on each other for one night, go settle in upstairs. Knuckles carry Shadow. ... gently."
"I will make sure not to make his injuries worse."
Shadow protested, but he couldn't exactly outrun anyone right now and had to accept his fate. Once upstairs, everyone talked a bit and played some board games. Sonic even kept his word and forced Shadow to let him file down his nails a little bit.
When it was time for bed, Sonic insisted that Shadow share his, especially when he found out Shadow had never slept on an actual bed before. Shadow was pretty sure Sonic just wanted to keep a hold of him so he wouldn't chaos control himself out of there in the middle of the night. He did consider it, but he also felt safe and warm for the first time in a very long time. And he let himself finally rest.

(Little note, the sneezing thing I got from someone talking about how in one of the earlier sonic games, it was strongly suggested that sonic had some sort of danger sense. It manifested as him sneezing right before something was about to hurt/kill him. I thought that was really funny and cute so I added it in here)

Summary: Sleep tomorrow but tonight go crazy, all you gotta do is just meet me at the... Or where you and Anakin share an apartment and maybe – some feelings too?
pairing: college roommate!Anakin x reader
word count: 4,842
warnings: c'est dramatíque. like no joke this is very much for the sillies and fun. it also has modern slang so can probably be considered hella OC for a lot of characters. I mean can you imagine Padme saying babygirl? (oh how I wish 😞)
a/n: Y'all know how in fanfics there's some tropes that are cliches? I noticed how sometimes in a lot of the fandoms the male mcs always get to have these complex and flawed characters that often have bad habits and quirks but for some reason the reader character (especially if it's a female one) doesn't get as many personality traits (which valid considering reader character is after all an insert character) but i just thought how fun would it be to maybe reverse some of the roles and switch things around a lil bit. This story is relatively tame in that aspect as I was only experimenting, but I hope you enjoy anyway!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Honey, I'm home!" Your playful voice carries through the empty living room of your shared apartment.
When you get no response from your roommate, who you were sure was supposed to be home by now, you drop the shoe from your hand, the thud sound echoing on the wooden flooring before you make your way towards the couch.
You drop your bag and toss your hat away, running a hand through your hair before heading towards the bedrooms.
"Ani?"
You walk into the open kitchen to grab a glass of water but your eyes get caught on the pot of something steaming kept on the stove. It's like there's a cartoonish floating scent of deliciousness that hooks your nose and beckons you closer, so you float over to the counter to lift the lid of the pot and a familiar and absolutely mouth-watering sight greets you.
A smile takes over your face when you realise who made it–the only person who can–and you drop the lid back on the pot to quickly head towards his bedroom.
"Anakin!" You call out once again and you're about to pass the door of the bathroom in the hallway when it flies open and you quickly have to stop yourself from running into the person stepping out.
"Oh shoots!" His hands immediately grab your waist to stop you from falling backwards while you grab his forearms to steady the two of you.
You didn't think it was possible, but somehow your smile grows even wider at the sight of your roommate – his tousled hair still wet from the shower, a soft baby blue hoodie on that made his eyes stand out that much more, and that same soft smile that always greeted you when you returned home.
"Thought you'd finally gotten sick of me and ditched and run away," you joke while trying not to pay attention to the feeling of his hands on your hips.
He rolls his eyes as he leans closer with narrowed eyes, "If you were even 2 minutes more late, I actually would've."
You're distracted by the feeling of his breath tickling your skin, eyes drawn to his pink lips that are pulled in a subtle pout. "….late?"
His brows furrow as he takes in your distracted expression and clueless words, his pout turning into a frown, "You don't remember, do you?"
The way he says it tells you he already knows the answer but you're still too caught up looking at his perfect plush lips. "…remember…?"
He quickly drops his hands and you stumble to catch your balance as he steps away to walk into the kitchen.
You follow him to stand on the other side of the counter and watch as he transfers the soup he had made into a smaller serving pot. It was a Skywalker family special, taught by his mom and your favourite soup in the whole world, though most of Anakin's cooking was your favourite in the whole world so some might call you biased. But they've never tasted Anakin's cooking so what the hell do they know?
"It's Friday." His back is still turned to you as he washes his hands at the sink but you don't have to see his face to know he's not exactly happy.
His words finally remind you of your usual weekend plans together, and today– Friday's was supposed to be movie night.
You wince when you realise you'd forgotten your plans, and now you've gone and run into him headfirst, literally.
"Ani…"
"No, it's okay."
You expected him to be mad, angry even, that you'd forgotten (or so he thinks) your ages-long tradition of movie night. But the sight of his tense shoulders relaxing as he sighs, drying his hands on the towel before he turns to you with that same sweet smile, a hopeful glimmer in his eyes is not what you're prepared for, much less the soft words that leave his lips,
"It's okay. I'm just glad you're here today and not busy like the past few times. I'm glad we finally get to have a movie night together again."
Fuck, the adorable smile he gives you is enough to knock the wind out of you and you desperately grab the edge of the counter to not fall to the ground.
He grabs a pack of bread and opens the fridge to grab a container before turning to the toaster, "I'm so glad we can do this. It's the perfect weather for soup so I made that instead of our usual popcorn, I hope you don't mind— though we can have that too if you want, I'm sure we have some leftover packs somewhere here—"
He excitedly rambles as he starts to open and close various cabinets to look for the packet of popcorn and you're frozen in place as you take in his enthusiasm.
"You know what, why don't you pick the movie while I toast some bread for us?"
Fuck, you hated to do this.
"We can have garlic or plain butter ones, whichever you want—"
You really wish you didn't have to do this.
"—Anakin...I can't."
All his flurried activity immediately comes to a halt. His shoulders tense again at your words and his hands are still as they hover in the air.
It's barely a whisper that reaches your ears, "What?"
This time you can see his side profile but you don't because you can't face him as you repeat yourself.
"I'm…sorry. I just— I already made plans. Padme and Satine said there's this party tonight…"
His head whips to fix you with the most intense gaze and you gulp as you try to come up with a way to maybe…compensate?
A nervous laugh bubbles out of your chest before you can stop it, "Ani, what if you come too? We can have tonight's hangout at the party! Obi-Wan and Rex might be there too, or else you can invite them! I know the people hosting it, I'm sure they'll allow a few extra people."
Extra people? Extra people?! Good doing dumbass. Extra people – like he's some random nobody and not the literal lo—
"Okay."
You're snapped out of your thoughts by his feeble response, as if you weren't meant to hear it. "What?"
He clears his throat, putting on an exaggerated smile that you can see through, "It's okay. We can just hangout some other time. Have fun at the party."
He walks out of the kitchen to his bedroom in the blink of an eye, closing the door behind him without another word.
Your shoulders drop with a sigh before you drop your head on the counter and close your eyes in frustration.
This is for the best, this is for the best, this is for the best, this is for the best.
The same chant repeats in your head as you pick up your jacket and put on your shoes, walking out the door with a heavy heart.
Tumblr media
Half an hour into the party your heart seems to have only gotten heavier, you don't know if it's the fifth drink in your hand or the loud thumping music, or maybe it's the jacket that seems all too suffocating in the already stuffy room and this boring guy who's been talking your head off about women and horses or something….Jackson? Jason? Hanson!…or was it Hansel?
"It's Gretel. I told you Hansel is my twin sister. And I'm not gay." He gives you a nasty side-eye as he huffs and rolls his eyes.
Oh shit, had you said that out loud? Oh well whatever, how the hell were you supposed to remember Hansel was the girl and Gretel was the boy when your mind wasn't even in the room right now?
Thankfully your saviour arrives in the form of your friend dragging you away with some half-assed excuse about being a player short for their beer pong – not like the guy cared, he simply turned around and gave that same weird 'I think I'm more important than every person in this room and mayonnaise is the spiciest thing I've had in my life and I think khaki shorts and polos are the peak of fashion and women wearing makeup is literally the reason guys have trust issues but it doesn't matter cause my daddy's got enough money to take my date to a private pool so I can body shame her' smile to the girls standing behind him, the same creepy look he had given you and roped you into a conversation you hadn't heard a second of.
You step away from the kitchen bar where you'd been standing for the past 20 minutes.
"I wasn't lying about the game."
When you go to protest Padme immediately cuts you off, "Nope. You're playing, it's already decided."
You laugh, "By whom?"
"Me," she replies in that 'duh' sort of tone, "I can't let my best girl sit there sulking with some weirdo talking about some random old fairytale."
You smirk, "His parents named him Gretel."
She whips her head to look at you in disbelief before bursting out laughing, "Well I'm glad I pulled you away before he introduced you to his twin sister Hansel or something."
"Nah, he said she ran away with some guy named Pedro in France. I think he called her a slut but it almost sounded like he had a crush on Pedro himself so who knows." You shrug.
She scoffs and then laughs again, "How do you always manage to find such people?"
You walk towards the table in the centre of the room, "Do I manage to find such people or do they find me?" You shake your head with a laugh, "Anyway thanks for getting me out of that conversation."
"Of course. Can't have you betraying your loverboy can we?"
Her teasing smirk goes entirely unnoticed as you freeze at her words.
Padme, being ever observant as she is, immediately catches the way your face falls and quickly decides that she just has to find out what happened.
She already had her suspicions when you walked into the party looking like you had instead walked into a reunion with your dentist, your racist uncle and that one teacher from middle school who always picked on you for some reason.
She hadn't seen you this...blank since that time in high school when you'd taken part in a community marathon for charity to impress your crush and trained for months to cross the finish line first only to trip on your shoelaces as soon as the starting whistle blew. You fell right in front of your crush as an 80-year-old grandma overtook you who then won while you'd disassociated for the rest of the race.
She has to do something about this.
Then her eyes land on the shot glasses spread out on the table and she gets an idea.
No way she's gonna let a friend be so miserable at a party.
Tumblr media
Anakin's…. well he's not sure what he feels.
Conflicted, sad, angry, confused….hurt? Yeah definitely that too– a whole lot of it.
This was the third time that you had ditched your weekly hangout plans and though you had definitely missed a few movie nights here and there before, be it due to exams or assignments you had procrastinated or that time when you convinced him to follow this small stray cat into the restricted forest area in your campus and the police showed up and the two of you had to spend majority of the night answering questions and you just stubbornly kept answering that it was the magic kitty of adventure and why wouldn't someone follow her and so they'd made you take a drug test because they thought you were high. With the exasperated look on the police officer's face as he let the two of you go, Anakin could only imagine the kind of answers you'd given him while on the other hand he had been worried shitless throughout his questioning.
He also remembers that as compensation you'd treated him to cheap cough drops flavoured popsicles from the only store that was open that late, and how he had laughed when you'd gagged and made a face after trying some of his ice cream and then how sincere your apology had been for wasting your night together.
He remembers how fast his heart had been beating when he heard your soft lips utter those words, 'your night together' is what you had called it. He wishes he could hear you say such sweet things about your relationship again. Like the first time you'd introduced him as your friend instead of roommate, and the even more exciting upgrade to 'best friend'.
Today, however, you said "extra people". Extra people. Is that all that he was in your life now? Just an extra? Not your best friend, not even your friend, just an extra? Some random person you wouldn't care if they were gone from your life?
The thought saddens him more than it makes him mad and that makes him feel even more stupid. Gosh look at how pathetic he was. You couldn't be bothered to remember your promises, or worse, you were purposefully avoiding him for the past few days like he suspected and here he was– having a pity party in your shared apartment that only taunted him with how unusually silent it was.
Damn this, if you got to just forget about your plans and go out and party like it meant nothing then he could too.
He puts away the soup he had prepared into the flask you usually use before placing it in the refrigerator with a sticky note that said 'heat this up and drink it when you get back, it'll spoil after morning'. He knew it was just an excuse and the soup could last much longer in the fridge, but he had read the weather alert for tonight and didn't want you to get sick like the last time you'd gotten soaked after running home in the rain and old habits die hard and it seems he just can't stop worrying about you even when he was mad at you.
He quickly swaps his sweats for some old jeans but doesn't bother changing his hoodie, if he has only one goal for going out then it wouldn't matter anyways. He catches sight of himself in the mirror in his bedroom which makes him pause for a second. He watches his reflection for a few moments, taking in the frown on his face and a certain emotion that reflects back in his eyes. He's not sure if the reflection is actually pale and blue or if it's just his mind projecting how he feels. He quickly shakes his head and walks back to the living room.
Then he finds his phone and quickly dials his longtime friend, the phone ringing only twice before being picked up.
He forgoes all pleasantries, "Rex. Remember that party you told me about? Yeah, is it still on? Ok good, can you send me the address real quick? Thanks."
He doesn't wait for a reply before he ends the call and puts on his shoes, grabbing his keys and then he's out the door without thinking more about it, or at least trying to.
Tumblr media
Somehow the girls have roped you into this stupid drinking game. Well, drinking game for them, for you this just feels like punishment, for what you're not sure.
Maybe this is what you get for letting down Anakin the way you did tonight. You're sure this was the last straw and that he's never going to want to talk to you again. Hell, he could steal all your favourite festive edition oreos that you hoard annually and set fire to that matching sweater he knitted for you and break off your lease and run away with that hot goth chick that flirts with him at his job and you wouldn't even be able to get mad. After all, you're the one who's been running away and avoiding him like a coward, you're the one who's been constantly letting him down by cancelling your plans and going back to your old habits of partying and finding distractions where you can, you're the one that disappointed him again tonight.
You remember the way his face fell when you told him you'd be bailing on your plans again.
That brief expression of hurt on his face was still stuck in your head like a broken CD that gets jammed at one part and doesn't move forward or backwards and the same image just remains frozen on screen. It makes you feel haunted and that again makes you think about how one frown from him was enough to derail all your thoughts, so you can't even imagine how bad it would be if you actually told him the truth. You can't bear to think about the pitiful apologetic look he'd give if you spoke your heart's words, the way he'd say sorry like it was his fault, the way he'd probably want nothing to do with you anymore because he deserves better, because he's so sweet and so nice and so warm and–
snap snap
Padme's fingers hovering in front of your face let you know that you had spaced out once again and the worried expression on her face makes you shake your head with a quick apologetic laugh as you shove your hands forward to get everyone to start the next round. You avoid Padme's inquisitive gaze as all the girls chant the hook of the game before you call out a random number, though your stupid cursed brain ends up choosing Anakin's birthdate.
It somehow manages to bite you in the ass when your hand is the one that lands on top, meaning you have to be the one to take a shot. Well, you would have had to, but since Padme had noticed the number of drinks you'd already had, she forbade you from taking any more, instead encouraging you to switch it out with juice to help you sober up.
Well, you seem to be pretty sober now if that same heaviness in your chest and disinterest in everything around you are anything to go by.
Padme, as always, notices this and blurts out a question (a suspicion more like) that's been on her mind ever since you made a beeline to the drinks right after walking into the party.
You pick up the shot glass with the juice and quickly down it like it was actually alcohol. It felt wrong to sit here drinking and playing and having fun. In the midst of your sulking, you don't notice the look shared between Padme and Satine.
"Truth – what happened with Anakin?"
Oh right, when the girls protested about letting you off easy, Padme had very cleverly suggested the added twist of truth or dare along with taking shots (juice for you). And now that you've finally ended up with your hand at the very top she was going to take her chance.
You almost spit the drink back out at Padme's words, sputtering as you try to wipe the juice before it stains your shirt.
You laugh nervously, "What happened with Anakin?"
Quickly your smile drops, replaced by an expression of serious inquisition, "Wait, what happened with Anakin? Is he okay? Did something happen? Did he call?—"
Padme rolls her eyes but shares an amused look with the rest of the girls.
"No, you tell us what happened with Anakin. You've been miserable all evening, it's worse than when that dude beat you and won the personality contest in the first year."
"Okay— first of all, he looked like a soft-boiled egg and sounded like a whale giving birth. He only won because his daddy was friends with the contest hosts." You huff, "second of all, I get to choose truth or dare and I'm not choosing truth."
"Hmm, too bad. It's already chosen for you and you know we're not moving on till you answer."
You loved your girlfriends for how much they cared but sometimes it was such a pain in the ass.
You raise a brow, "Are you holding me hostage over a question?"
She challenges you with a question of her own, "Are we going to have to go about this the difficult way?"
Did you want to cross paths with a very determined Padme who's already had at least 6 shots in her? (she was, funnily enough, a sore loser in this game, and it would have been entertaining if it weren't for your current situation)
You sigh, lowering your gaze to your fingers, toying with the loose fibres on your jeans, "Anakin and I…fought again."
Padme places a comforting hand on your shoulder, "What happened?"
You drop your head into your hands with a groan, "I bailed on our movie night plans again…"
Suddenly you feel the thump of a pillow hitting your bent head, startling you. You look up to see Satine holding another pillow, as if ready to launch once again.
"What the fuck?"
She startles you once again with the intensity in her voice, "Girl, what the hell?!"
You scrunch your face in confusion, "I mean, that's what I just asked—"
"No, I mean what. the. hell."
All the girls have gone silent, turning their heads from you to Satine as she speaks up once again.
"Why would you do that?!"
"Huh?? You're the one that threw the pillow at me!"
"No— why would you ditch Anakin to come here, dumbass?!"
"Because…you asked me to?"
Padme sighs but remains silent as she watches the exchange between you and Satine.
"So if Padme or I asked you to jump off a bridge—"
You shrug, "Yeah, probably."
Now Satine is the one to drop her head in her hands, pinching the bridge of her nose before taking a deep breath.
This time Padme puts her arm on Satine's shoulder, giving it a squeeze before speaking up, "I think what Satine's trying to say is, how long are you going to pretend?"
You avoid her eyes with a nervous laugh, "Whaaa— pretend? Pfttt I'm not pretending, what uh—what would I be pretending about?"
You look around the group and see that all your girls are looking at you with a 'bish, be fr' look.
You finally groan out, "Ugh, okay— fine! Fine! I'm in love with my roommate and I don't know how to tell him— or if I should even bother telling him at all because it's not like it's going to get us anywhere. Dude is literally handcrafted by the angels and every time I look at his face I'm reminded that this is impossible. Every time I even think about telling him the truth it feels like the stupidest thing ever because— well because why would he go for me when he can have someone so much better? Why would he ever go for a girl like me when he's got that discount Dimitriscu, I mean y'all have seen her— she's tall AND goth, the total package." You look up to see all the girls contemplating before nodding in agreement about the hot goth girl and it does not make you feel any better.
You sigh, "So what's the use."
Padme rushes to answer you, "Don't say that. What if Anakin does like you? You've been roommates for so long, the two of you are best friends. And I truly don't think Anakin is so cruel to treat you horribly even if you did tell him."
You raise your head to fix her with a half-assed glare, "Padme, the thought of confessing is already enough to make me wanna puke. Do not make me think of his inevitable rejection."
Satine finally breaks her silence, "Why are you so sure that he could never like you?"
You let out a bitter laugh, "Because."
"Because why?"
"Because we could just never be, okay? We are just not like that— Anakin and I together would be a— a fucking joke." You huff out.
"Have you seen him? Have you seen me? You know what he's like. Do you really think we could ever be a thing?"
The sound of a beer bottle dropping to the floor rings out behind you but you pay it no mind, it was a crowded party, maybe someone just ran into someone and dropped their can.
You rub your eyes to try and get rid of the stinging behind them only to lift your head and see all your girlfriends staring right behind you with their eyes wide.
Padme, who had been distracted trying to think of some way to get you to stop being so stupid and pessimistic also turns her head when she realises how silent the group had suddenly become, all staring off to somewhere behind you.
It is only when you hear her gasp as well that you finally snap, "What? Seriously what is it? Is someone in a slutty santa costume twerking to MLK's 'I have a dream' speech again?"
When she doesn't answer, you huff and crane your neck to see for yourself. Your breath hitches in your throat as soon as you catch sight of the person standing just a few feet behind the couch you were sitting on.
Neither of you say anything, but Anakin's brows furrow, you open your mouth to say something, anything, but before you can get a word out he quickly takes a few steps back, spinning on his heels to rush towards the exit.
"Anakin!—"
You quickly get up to follow him, struggling to keep up with his fast pace in the already crowded room. Curse him and his model-like long legs.
"Ani, whatever you heard, whatever you think you heard— it's not like that—"
"Maybe I was dense, but I'm not deaf."
Through the windows you can see the shadow of dark storm clouds gathering.
"No, no— you're not deaf and you're most definitely not dense—"
He suddenly comes to a stop and you nearly crash into his back before he spins around to face you. He lets out a bitter laugh, "I was stupid then."
Loud thunder crackles outside.
You shake your head vehemently, "No, Ani—"
"You hate me."
His face lights up in a bright lightning flash.
"I don't hate you—"
"You said this," he points between the two of you, "is a joke." If you weren't so frenzied and caught up in your own panic you would've noticed that the hurt in his voice largely overshadowed the anger.
You desperately try to explain, becoming more and more aware of the growing crowd around you but honestly, you couldn't give two shits about that right now, "If you knew what I was talking about you'd think so too—"
He fixes you with a sad gaze, "This is why you've been avoiding me all these days?"
When you struggle to meet his eyes he already knows your answer.
He scoffs and starts walking backwards, "I don't want to hear anymore." And you get one last look at him before another bright flash of lightning lights up the sky and then everything goes dark.
The whole house falls quiet and the two of you stand there, blinking at each other in complete silence before someone's voice calls out from the opposite corner of the room.
"Aw man, the power's gone!"
Anakin takes advantage of the darkness and quickly turns around to weave through the crowd.
You desperately call out his name again as you almost push and shove people out of the way because you can't even see where you're going, just following the vague direction of where you think the exit is, "Ani—"
He only quickens his pace, nearly jogging out the door and down the footsteps of this cursed frathouse that you should've never bothered coming to.
Well too late to realise that, huh.
Just as you cross the doorway and jump over the steps to run up to the sidewalk, he's already disappearing out of sight by crossing the road to take a right.
You stand there on the side of the road, chest aching and you're not sure if it's from the sudden exercise or something else.
It's like you're frozen in place, you want to run after him but your feet seem to be stuck to the ground. Only when you hear the sound of more footsteps behind you do you turn.
You see Padme, Satine and the rest of your girls in the doorway, more people crowding behind to see the commotion.
You look at Padme, your brows scrunched in uncertainty.
You wait for a beat, then two. Thunder rumbles in the distance.
"Go get your man, girl!"
That's all you need to hear before you set off running after him, the cheers of your girlfriends echoing behind you in the silent neighbourhood.

Did the D. Clan crazy genes miss Crocodile and Dragon? I was honestly thinking with Luffy's family it's no wonder he turned out like he did...but...it should be a question of how Dragon turned out so calm and quiet and relatively normal with Garp and Roger (and Rayleigh) as his parents. Was it Sengoku's influence? Was it Dragon being so embarrassed at his parents actions he actively shoved down all traits similar to the loud men? At least Crocodile has a bit of the feral D energy to him at times.
Haha, I doubt that the crazy genes missed them. When we first met Dragon in the manga he wasn't quite as serious and grim as he is now. I think he's got the predisposition to be just as crazy as the others, however, I think the path he is on simply demands him to reign it in. To put a limit to his recklessness because he is, other than quite a few D.s we know, not following a path that serves an... let's just say a self-centered dream. He has to think about the bigger picture.
But it's quite possible that Dragon's chaos has been softened by his upbringing too. It's been a mixture of chaotic and strict and it has provided a young Dragon a clear path in life and a framework with which to achieve it (i.e. being part of the Marine.) Sure, Roger and Ray were important to little Dragon if we go with a Baby on Board setting, but in the end he's been raised by Marines almost exclusively and he grew up in Marine bases and government ships. It's his major frame of reference and he's joined very young with 14. It would have taken him a moment to understand that the Marines aren't what he thought they were and quite a bit longer still for him to realize that, no matter how hard he tries, he cannot fix the system from within.
I think that turmoil overshadowed the D. craziness to some degree. And then the weight of responsibility once he decides he's going to not only fight for freedom, but he's going to destroy the system...? Well, that's a lot of weight on someone's shoulders. But I'm sure the D. craziness still shines through in more light-hearted moments. (I mean, how else would he have managed to score with Crocodile if he wasn't at least a little bit insane?)
Crocodile though... Well... if we want to be angsty then we could say he tries to bury who he was, any connection to his childhood and parents so deeply, that it's smothered the D. lineage quite a bit. Because it's self-denial and even if he remakes himself, there's always a part of him that is locked away. A barrier to being as free as he could be. Sure, he's got his moment of insane recklessness and he's got a strong will that always makes him get back up again, but mostly it's a bit hidden. There's quite a bit of silliness in him though and feral energy as you said. (I still think the fights against Luffy have been one of the best fights in all of OP. I don't know if this is part nostalgia speaking because I read those when I was like 14 years old. It might also be part glee because 14 year old me HATED the stupid mafia sand gator man. And now it's probably also bias speaking because 20+ years later I LOVE this stupid mafia sand gator man. But both of them were just insane, especially as the fights continued. Love it.)

Since it is my bday today I want to indulge in this post 😌
How the brothers + my favs would be for (my) Mc's birthday
* my MC doesn't like a lot of attention for her birthday so she requested for not a lot to be done! If you are alike my MC please insert yourself instead!*
Lucifer
He knows that you don't like much attention drawn to you because you don't know how to handle it all. So he plans something small for just the two of you and then his brothers for something more family related. His gift was something along the lines of random and silly since he tries to be more lighthearted for big events such as this. He does also get you something severely expensive but it was his favorite crystal grown in the devildom in a necklace. (He won't say how much it was)
Mammon
He doesn't understand why you don't like attention so much. It's your birthday! Take in all you can from everyone! He does realize not everyone is like him so he purposely decorates the outside of your bedroom door and waits patiently for you to come out so he can pop a party popper for you and be the first physical person to say happy birthday. He more so just sticks to your side (so like every other day) and keeps wishing you happy birthday or playing jokes that you are old and such. His gift was something you two could wear together (because he's possessive like that).
Levi
He completely understands not wanting attention drawn to you for your birthday. He since usually not noticed by his brothers will sneak into your room the night before your birthday and will have you two play games together all night. If you did have class they next day he would tell Lucifer it was his fault so you don't get in trouble. His gift is something severely sentimental. He panicked about 30 times trying to figure out what gift would mean more. He ends up getting you something that was in such small detail to a conversation you had that you had to rethink on it. You did praise him for such passion for your gift.
Satan
He also despise attention so he wasn't too judgemental on the ask of not doing too much. He settled on buying you damn near every cat item he could find. He even asked Levi to order certain things too. He sets your gifts in your room when he goes down to breakfast knowing when you'll get back it'll be a nice surprise. He doesn't make a fuss about your birthday but does wish you one when you two are alone together.
Asmos
Due to him knowing absolutely everything that you enjoy buying or looking at with your shopping trips together he bought everything he could but also was very precise as well. He knew your exact sizing and pictured you in the clothes to determine whether they would fit perfectly. He loves attention but knows you do not so he just gives you all the attention at home because you said at home was fine. He was practically dancing around you like Mammon all day.
Beel
He is indifferent on attention he doesn't despise it but doesn't love it either. He does however like giving you attention. He basically acted as himself throughout most of the day. But he wanted to be really amazing at giving you a gift so he decided to put himself through the discipline of making your cake. All the brothers were beyond amazed as he didn't eat any of the cake and just decorated and made it beautifully. He of course bought you other things but this was what made you tear up because he was fighting his sin the whole time just to make you happy. (You don't eat a lot of sweets so you gave him a lot of your cake)
Belphie
He's a brat so he requires attention only from certain people. He can ignore though. He doesn't exactly ignore you just doesn't really make a big deal that it's your birthday (which you appreciate). He did however go overboard on his gift giving since he isn't too great with words at times. He bought you so many pillows and blankets. But one thing he did buy that made you happy was matching cow pillows. You sleep with them almost every night now.
Diavolo
He always gets attention so he understands the overwhelming feeling of it. He of course is the one who goes the most overboard since he had the money too. You damn near have a whole new jewelry box because of him. But one gift that most sticks out is a crown. Now don't get the wrong idea he didn't make you a queen for your birthday. He just made it as a type of promise crown alike a promise ring where in the future he will make you his wife and queen.
Thirteen
She hides in a cave so she obviously doesn't mind not getting or giving attention. She does however have a hard time coming up with gifts for people. She thought hard about what to get you even asking for Solomons help too. She eventually settled on making you something. She made a thing of flowers that when only you look at them they bloom. They also last forever. She was very shy about giving you this and feared it wouldn't work. But once it did you immediately hugged her. (She won't admit it so easily but it was one of her only inventions she is hugely proud of)
Tis my birthday:D I don't feel much older but I'm just glad I'm getting closer to partying age 😈

Grim's Toon Origins
Tumblr media
The toons fandom is pretty strong, especially on here (I’m not an active participant exactly, but I’m liking and reblogging when I feel like it). They mostly focus on toons, black and white cartoons from the 20’s through the color cartoons of the modern day (think cartoons with exaggerated features who act in exaggerated or silly ways rather than trying to emulate real life and real physics) from every studio. The origin of the name probably came from Looney Tunes (tunes as in music, but it is also a pun on toons) and Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the book it was based on certainly helped popularize it. Toon isn't Disney specific, of course, but the studio created one of the most iconic toons to date, Mickey Mouse, so there’s a lot of old Disney floating around the fandom. 
I saw one particular Disney toon piece of fan art recently which basically gave me an epiphany and made me feel silly considering this game has been out for 5 years and I’ve only just made this connection: 
One of Grim’s influences could very well be the oldest named Disney toon of all. 
More theory under the cut. 
Back when I did most of my character analysis and general twst meta discussions on TikTok, I talked briefly about some Haunted Mansion elements that reminded me of Ramshackle and Grim specifically.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For one, his name is Grim, part of the Haunted Mansion’s theme song, Grim Grinning Ghosts. I also connected him to the one-eyed cat, an old Haunted Masion concept that would have a main antagonist of the ride. The cat would stalk the guests as they traveled through the mansion after being warned by the Ghost Host early on. While a statue of the cat currently exists in the Disneyland Haunted Mansion, the concept was scrapped, so it would be a general deep cut if it had any influence on Grim himself. Though we all have been waiting for Grim’s inevitable overblot, so the whole “enemy has been with you the whole time” narrative still works. 
To be honest, my first thought when I saw a cat companion in a game called Twisted Wonderland was that he was a reference to Dinah, the titular character’s cat in Alice in Wonderland. Grim looks enough like Disney’s version of the character with a similar bow tied around his neck. This is probably the most likely case, but it not as fun as the newest theory that’s crossed my mind. Because Dinah isn’t the first cat to be associated with a Disney Alice. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Alice Comedies were a series of shorts created by Walt Disney and the Disney Bros Studio. The rights and distribution were under Winkler Pictures who would eventually commission the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons from Walt’s crew for Universal. The shorts all featured a novel idea: putting a human Alice in a cartoon Wonderland. In the first short, Alice’s Wonderland, a little girl named Alice visits the Disney Bros Studio to watch Walt and his crew make cartoons. The cartoons come to life on the cartoonist’s pages and Alice is so delighted by what she sees, she dreams that she’s in a cartoon wonderland that night. It was revolutionary technology at the time that’s not exactly groundbreaking today, but this and the other Alice Comedies are very cute. (Most of the shorts are available on YouTube! You can find Alice's Wonderland here. As a note, if things look familiar, it's because Alice Comedies were used as inspiration for the Babes in the Wood episode of Over the Garden Wall!) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In most of these shorts, there is a cartoon cat. Black and white cats were common early toons and one particular design showed up often in Walt Disney’s earlier work at Laugh-O-Gram Studios which continued onto the Alice Comedies. This cat was named Julius. He was originally created to be a Felix the Cat clone due to some inter studio fighting, but he stands on his own as a character over time. Some people who know Oswald call him the prototype Mickey Mouse, but Julius was the actual blueprint. In the Alice Comedies he’s feisty and often fights bad guys for Alice (including the original Peg Leg Pete who was a bear at the time). He enjoys messing around with other characters for fun but is always loyal to Alice at the end of the day. He’s a lot like Grim in those respects, especially over time when he starts viewing Yuu as less of a henchman and more like family. 
When I see the original Alice Comedies and compare them to Twisted Wonderland, I can’t help but see the similarities in their concepts: A normal human girl goes to a magic animated world in a fantastic dream where she’s joined by her silly talking cat and they experience adventure and perils along the way. This is definitely a deep cut, but I’d like to think that these shorts had some influence on Twisted Wonderland in its early development, even if very few elements of the original story stayed. Plus, it’s nice to imagine that our Grim is a link to the very beginning of Disney animation which inspired this whole game in the first place.

TW!! - Fluff
These are just a few little fluffy bf!Carl x Reader headcannons I find either really adorable or strangely accurate to his character :>
★ Carl absolutely loves affection. In public, he wouldn't do more than hold your hand or give you a little nudge to let you know he cared - but when its just the two of you, he always has one arm around you at all times to keep you close
he also loves forehead kisses, whether you give them to him or he does to you
but, when he gets jealous, all of his reservations about PDA go out the window and insists on making your relationship more obvious until the person leaves
★ Even though Carl is very insecure about his appearance since losing his eye, he always trusts you whenever you offer to change his bandage because he knows you care
★ He always shares anything he can with you - whenever he makes himself a snack, he always makes sure to put extra for you to take. If you're taking a little longer than usual to find a jacket, then he lets you borrow his flannels
★ You both suffered from nightmares after everything the two of you grew up in, and so he always insists on sleeping together to comfort you after them. He loves to make you feel safe - to be your safe space
★ It's harder for Carl to ask for help in anything, always insisting he was fine whether or not it was due to embarrassment or being stubborn. But with you, he doesn't have to say anything for you to understand.
This shows up in a lot of ways, like...
placing his hat atop his head when you were busy to let you know he needed some time alone with you
pulling you into a hug whenever he just needed to take a deep breath
squeezing your hand in his whenever he felt a little nervous
★ He'd never say it out loud, but he loves when you play with his hair. He adored the little braids you'd twist together at the back of his head when you thought he wasn't paying attention, the way you'd run your fingers through his hair when you were alone, and even when you'd brush his fringe out of the way when it was bothering him
★ You two both kept matching Polaroid photos in your back pocket, even though you were almost never apart. It was a little cheesy, but he loved to be able to carry around your picture wherever he went and look at the silly faces you'd both made
★ The little idea that the freckles and beauty marks and moles were the places that your lover kissed you the most in a past life - Carl was a firm believer in it. Any time he could spot one, he'd press his lips your skin, peppering you with kisses and counting each one in his head even if you teased him about it

This is too childish for that character, that's too kinky for this fandom...
....it's too creepy, it's too babyish, it's too silly, it's too sexual, it's too unrealistic, it's dumb, it's too canon divergent...
Let's kill all that noise and respectfully use the filter system to avoid fanfic stories with themes we feel uncomfortable reading/seeing.
Entertainment has no one-size-fits-all approach. What's weird for one person is the next person's comfort fanfic story.
Fanfic-writing is about slotting ones own fave characters in any situation or au they want. Let's endeavour to respect each other's works even though some stories have themes are are generally controversial.
The authors of such stories still have the right to write and post them. The consumers who enjoy such stories also have every right to.
Again, use filters.
That being said, fanfic writers, let's keep working on tagging our works better so that everyone is protected from content they don't want to see.

hiii tea! it's been a while, right? how are you? 🥟 anon here ♡
i absolutely LOVED your latest gw smuts! his bday one is SOOOO OMG im crazy abt it.. tbh i was searching for some food play with him a while ago and now u just served thisssss yay thank u sm!! also looking forward to the upcoming content <3 hope ur doing well
...i have a hard thought for today 😃
its a little silly but you'll get me ik
first time with wookie after he recovered from lasik surgery, now he can finally stare into his lover's eyes without having to keep his glasses on or suffer with blurr when he was doing it without them... but unfortunately his gf uses glasses too...
~
it started with a making out session after a cuddling on their bed so cutely
his left hand on her waist as he uses the right hand to take her glasses off "i want to see your beautiful eyes water when i finally get to be inside of you, darling" gw says kissing reader's cheek softly.
"p-please, wookie.. let me keep them on, i want to see you too.. t-this is not fair" she says between whimpers and pouts
"oh, princess, that's useless though.. your vision is still gonna get blurry from all the pleasure i will provide you, don't need them covering that pretty face, hm? just relax and your man will make you feel really good. you want it, baby?"
~ could u write more on it pretty pleasee
[although i do love him w that nerdy look foggy glasses while eating his gf out IM GONE but thats a talk for another day..]
Omg hii! I've been good! I'm glad u like them all hehehe~ Also how are you? I missed u on here ngl <3
I literally LOVE how you wrote this, u should start posting pookie 😍🫶 But anyways:
I feel like Gunwook would be too smug ever since he recovered from lasik surgery and the fact that he doesn't have to use glasses anymore to see you makes his confidence rise even more. But on the other hand he felt bad that you couldn't get the surgery too, he knew how scared you were of it.
It was one of those nights where you were cuddling in bed and exchanging kisses. At first it was all gentle and soft, but somehow it led to you stradding his lap, making out desperately like you haven't seen each other in so long. His hands would be on your waist, holding you had one arm wrapped around his neck, your free hand tangled in his hair, eagerly kissing his lips, your breaths mixing together and fogging up your glasses. As soon as you broke a kiss to take a breath, he moved his right hand away from your waist. His face was still close to yours, peppering kisses along your cheeks as he tried to remove your glasses with one hand. It was a bit difficult and just as he was about to succeed he heard you whine, and he quickly calmed you down, reassuring you that he just wanted to see your pretty eyes better.
That only made you sulk more, your lips forming into a pout as you tried to convince him not to do that, since you also wanted to see him, but that only led to him cutting you off, telling you how you wouldn't need your glasses anyways because "your vision will get blurry anyways, just wanna get a look at your pretty face and eyes better, baby." and his words alone managed to convince you to finally give in. As much as you hated the idea of not wearing your glasses any time you were getting intimate with him, you trusted him well enough not to wear them this time. Within a few minutes both your clothes and his were scattered on the floor and he was between your legs as he pushed his cock in and out of your pussy, and the way you clenched around him had him grunting and almost whining.
It made him satisfied that he could finally stare at you as much as he wanted without having to readjust his glasses every 5 seconds, seeing the way your face scrunched up in pure bliss whenever he hit your g-spot. He just loved how pretty you looked, cheeks flushed and chest heaving as you struggled to focus your eyes on his face, eyes filled with tears from how frustrated you felt with your vision not cooperating at the right times. As soon as he saw a tear fall down your cheek, he'd quickly calm you down by showering your face with kisses, his hands roaming all over your body as he told you how much he loved you and how adorable you looked being in this state.
And as soon as you both were done he made sure to take care of you, praising you every second as he cleaned you up, but he knew you were missing something, so when he asked you if you could give him his old glasses. Even though it made you confused, you quicky did as he said while you put on your glasses in the process and he put on his despite not needing him. That's when he got between your legs and started eating you out, cleaning up your cum stuffed pussy as he enjoyed the taste, and luckily you could finally witness the sight of his glasses fogging up once again, which you missed badly <3

Tumblr media
and these character profile cards!!! these are actually what i wanted to focus on for this post so i'll be talking abt these from here on out. with just the sample i had actually just thought the lloyd, javier, and alicia cards were face cards, but no those are profile ones there's INFO ON THE BACK!!! i'll share those in a bit nod emoji
Tumblr media
i've only found a couple accounts on twitter that show these cards in their entirety, which i will post and link below!!! please do check out the accounts of the OPs i link, they post a lot about tged!
card 126 is bangul's profile card! she's so cute~
Tumblr media
a huge thank you to @silentnewtbark for helping with the translation,,, trying to do this myself would've been insane!!! we both relied on translation tools though, so all translations may be a little literal/a little off. if there's any corrections to be made please let us know nod emoji
in each section from top to bottom, left to right, her text reads:

end translation! she's so cute,,, its so sweet that her favorite things are her little family of summons and lloyd and javier,,,, SO CUTE,,,
we also see suho's brand logo from the flag in episode one in the background of the card!
next, card 127 is hamang!
Tumblr media
in each section from top to bottom, then left to right, his text reads:
Hamang -MAMMAL-

end translation! so silly,,, again love that lloyd javier and the summons are all mentioned in here, so so cute! i imagine ppodong's card says the same thing! i'm not sure if there's a ggoming or bibeong card though, but i (and the rest of tgedtwt im sure) will be keeping an eye out lol
NOW FOR THE HUMAN CHARACTER CARDS!
we were able to see the front and back of alicia's and lloyd's character cards thanks to sion_wp on twitter! a huge thank you to them!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
let's start with alicia's! line by line, from top to bottom, her text reads:
Alicia Termina Magentano
09.28 / B / 169cm / 56kg // birthday, blood type, height, and weight respectively!
Likes: Lloyd Frontera (his plump butt) (// LMFAO??), strengthening royal authority, training in fencing, subjugating those that don't share her political views, identifying and punishing corrupted officials, seeing lloyd's struggle with his appearance
Dislikes: Lloyd's (Kim Suho's) singing, the house of nobles, banquets with politicians, National Audit Season, extremely sweet desserts, the sultan of the eastern sultanate (// Samarkand, sultan of Asfahan), corruption and treason conspiracies
end translation! IM LOSING MY MIND AT THE VERY FIRST THING BEING LLOYD'S FAT ASS IM??? HELP??? PLEASE HAHAHAHA
additionally WE NOW HAVE A BIRTHDAY FOR HER!! YIPPEE!!! this wasn't something i expected at all!!! another one to the list hehe~ she's a libra, which makes her an air sign! (javier is also an air sign) (lloyd bagged not one but TWO AIR SIGNS THATS CRAZYYY)
i actually really like that she is a libra, it really fits well for her considering she is described as someone who is extremely just and fair when it comes to politics and civil decisions. the libra is represented by the scales, which is commonly associated with judgement and the law! it also has an association with Lady Themis, goddess of law and justice, which is very neat and so so fitting for alicia! i want to draw her as Lady Themis!
now, let's do lloyd's! line by line, from top to bottom, his text reads:
Lloyd Frontera
02.22 / B / 181cm / 71kg // birthday, blood type, height, and weight respectively!
Likes: money, beef, cheap and plentiful food, free ticket to a sunny window seat (// i think this means he likes chances to relax in the sun??), Jjimjilbang (// korean bathhouses), people who buy food for him, Bora Bokone (// this appears to be a brand of ice cream!), Autumn (puppy), jeonju-bibimbap-flavored triangle kimbap
Dislikes: cockroaches, yellow flooring, voice phishing for investment solicitation, coin karaoke that's fancy and expensive but impractical, rainy days (delaying construction & limiting daily wages)
end translation! his likes and dislikes are so like, okay i dont know the better word for it but they feel simple,,, i hope u understand what i mean by that!! it's like... idk... he wants a simple life,,, relaxed and carefree and to only worry about the simple things,,,,,,,
(ALSO THE FACT THAT HE CANONICALLY DISLIKES COCKROACHES MAKES ME INSANE BC I LITERALLY WROTE A FIC ABT HIM FEARING ROACHES IM. THAT'S CRAZY THAT MADE ME INSANE. I WASN'T FAR OFF FROM CANON. APOLLO GIFT OF PROPHECY anyway fic plug here it is teehee)
WITH THIS WE CAN ALSO SAY THAT LLOYD DOES IN FACT HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS SUHO! YAYYY FEBRUARY 22ND
ok well to get picky, the likes and dislikes are all related to suho,,, so this could be suho!lloyd we're talking about. however, the stats appear to be for lloyd's body? so i think it's safe to say that lloyd's bday being the same as suho's is canon!!! unless the author says otherwise, but until then WOW THEY HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY THATS CRAZY!!! ITS CONFIRMED!!!!! THOSE OF YOU WHO COMMENTED ON MY LAST POST ABT THIS WERE RIGHT LMFAO
we also get to see lloyd's height, which also tells us javier's height since the novel mentions that javier is exactly five centimeters taller than lloyd! i haven't spotted anyone posting javier's profile card details yet, but hopefully once we find it it'll match up at 186cm!
for visual comparison, here's a sample diagram of their respective heights next to each other, created using heightcomparison:
Tumblr media
WOW! quite tall!!! considering too that suho appears to be slightly taller than lloyd, suho could be a little over six feet tall, that's crazy!!!
on the profile cards, we also get to see seals for magentano and frontera estate:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so many little details in here!!! so sick!!! i'm in so much love this is so awesome I WANT THESE CARDS IN MY HANDS NOW!!!
as aforementioned, i have yet to see anyone post javier's profile card, so while we already know his birthday and height, we don't know his weight, blood type, likes and dislikes. hopefully someone pulls it and posts it soon! when they do, i'll update this post nod emoji
and that's all for now!!! a very long update, but so many goodies,,, the entire card series is full of so many fun cards - some of them are holo!!! - and oooh the things i'd do to have them in my hands,,, one day!!! ONE DAY!!! ILL HAVE IT!!!
i'm so happy about all this canon info we got too!!! so so happy! the archivist in me is dancing in so much joy!!!
if more posts about the cards come out ill be sure to report o7 but yes that's it!!! thanks for reading see y'all next time,,,!!!!
(tldr: WE GOT BIRTHDAY CONFIRMATIONS alicia is 9.28 and lloyd is 2.22! as well as heights, weights, blood types, likes and dislikes. also bangul and hamang profiles too!!)
WAIT SO IF JAVIER'S BDAY IS TODAY THEN WHEN IS LLOYD'S??
i don't think lloyd frontera's birthday has been officially confirmed yet, at least as far as i know! we actually got to find out javier's birthday because someone asked the author, and the author's response got posted, so hopefully someone can ask again about lloyd's!
the only two birthdays that are confirmed (to my knowledge) are suho's which is february 22nd, and javier's which is today, january 26th! though if i'm wrong please do correct me lol
edit: i've been informed that the unknown knight's tged collab lists his birthday as february 22nd, but whether or not this is canon is up to you, take that as you will! i personally will wait til the author / adaptation team clarifies nod emoji

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week
