CAN YOU PLEASEEEEE DO VIKTOR RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS OH MY GOD HE HAS BEEN PLAGUING MY MIND SINCE S2 DROPPED
LOVE YOUUU‼️💕
love you too mamas (?) man-mas?)
1. Viktor’s Thoughtful Gifts (That You’ll Lowkey Die Over): Okay, imagine Viktor giving you a gift like… a customized mechanical arm? Or some high-tech gadget you didn’t even know you needed but suddenly it’s like your life was incomplete without it? He’s super practical and doesn’t know how to romance like a normal person, so you get techy gifts that make you go, “Okay, I’m not sure if this is sweet or the beginning of a cyborg takeover, but I love it.” Like, imagine getting an arm that could… do math for you? That’s Viktor. 💀
2. Staring at You, the Master of Awkward Silence: Viktor’s like that type of boyfriend who just stares at you sometimes, and you’re like, “Why is he looking at me like I’m the last slice of pizza?” He’s not a man of many words, but when he looks at you with that soft expression? You know he’s thinking deep, philosophical stuff. Also, probably about how he can improve your life with some experimental tech. No biggie.
3. Lowkey Protective, Highkey Overthinking: You know Viktor would never get all macho and flex his biceps (he’s not that guy), but he’ll be that super protective person in the background, lurking in the shadows like “I will end you if you hurt them, but don’t worry, I’ll just silently fix the situation with my science.” You can’t even tell if he’s the type to fight for you, but he’d definitely be the one who’d solve all your problems with some crazy invention or engineering wizardry. Meanwhile, you’re just like, “Viktor, chill, I just wanted ice cream.” 🙄
4. Subtle Flirting (In A Really Awkward Way): Viktor flirts like, “Hey, if I were to engineer the perfect date, it’d probably involve circuits and maybe a little biochemistry.” And you’re like, “Dude, is that a pickup line or a TED Talk?” You love it though, because there’s something so endearing about his socially awkward way of expressing affection. Like, he’s literally falling for you while simultaneously figuring out how to make an energy-efficient love potion. 🧪💖
5. Love Without the Drama: Viktor is a low-key boyfriend, and not in a “let’s just chill and pretend we’re not together” way. He’s just not into big romantic gestures or wild drama. He’d rather have a quiet night working in his lab together, but every so often he’ll grab your hand in his (awkwardly, but sweetly) while you both super casually discuss your favorite theoretical physics concepts. You’re like, “This is literally the most romantic thing that’s ever happened to me, I can’t handle this.” 😳
6. The “Are You Okay?” Overthinker: Viktor’s probably the type to randomly text you, “Hey, how’s your day? Is everything fine?” and you’re like, “Yeah, I’m good, Viktor, chill.” But then he goes into full-on overdrive mode and starts analyzing the exact text you sent, trying to figure out if you meant something by it. And you’re like, “Viktor, it’s literally 2 AM. Relax.” You have to assure him you didn’t just casually text something cryptic like “it’s fine” and now he thinks you’re in mortal danger.
7. Incredibly Supportive but Doesn’t Show It Like a Normal Human: He’s the boyfriend who’ll be your biggest cheerleader but won’t say it out loud. You’ll be all nervous about an exam or some big project, and Viktor? He’ll show up with a bunch of mechanical doodads and a carefully thought-out “This will help you get through this,” but no words. He’s like, “You’ve got this,” but it’s through his deeply nerdy and complex inventions. Also, you’re pretty sure he just hacked your Wi-Fi so you could study in peace. You appreciate it, but like… he’s too much.

hello, can you recommend some stories where they are co workers and hide their relationship from their colleagues. Thank you
Hello, anon! You're very welcome! Here are some fics that fit what you're looking for...
Have Love, Will Travel by @kingsofeverything
Rather than spend the summer working at their desks, Louis and Harry are given the opportunity to crisscross the country together in a tiny camper, filming their adventures for a YouTube series.
It soon becomes obvious to their viewers that there’s something more than friendship between them. Eventually, they figure it out.
Caught In Your Gravity by @lululawrence
It felt like the blood froze in Harry’s veins even as he got a bit lightheaded. He hadn’t even made it two practices, only one of which he was remotely in charge of, without giving it all away and now he and Liam were both absolutely fucked.
“Shit,” Harry breathed out. “Who all have you told? Does everyone know? I thought I covered it better than that…”
“No, no,” Louis said quickly. "They’ll figure it out soon enough, though, because they’ll get used to you changing things up, but you’re only going to trip over your so called Americanisms for so long before they realize it’s because you don’t actually know fuck all about football.”
Harry sighed. “Yeah. I figured. I just need to bullshit for long enough to allow Liam to get the situation figured out from his end.”
“Right, which brings me to my entire point. I think we can find a mutually beneficial arrangement with all of this.” Louis leaned forward. “You need to learn the ins and outs of the sport incredibly fast. I can help you with that.”
“What do you want in exchange?”
Or, an AU inspired by a 30 second trailer of Ted Lasso that doesn't actually have much in common with the show at all.
The Boys of Summer by @afirethatcannotdie
“I mean…we’re gonna have to sneak around anyway, yeah? Like, with that whole rules thing that I guess we’ve decided to ignore. Might make it a little more fun this way.”
AU. In which Louis is a reluctant sports coach, Harry's a fellow counselor who wears tiny yellow shorts, and camp rules say they're forbidden to date.

I wonder if Underground Killer by Lee Sookyung had a fandom. Hear me out
You know how some people online thirst over Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy? Lee Sookyung was basically that to teenage korean lesbians.
She's canonically hot AND she has a tragic and unfair story that pulls at the heartstrings. When Kim Dokja recalls there was a media shitshow after the book came out, perhaps the public who had been convinced of her justice was calling for Sookyung to be released, and they were asking for his statement on if she's guilty or not! Headcanon for you.
Anyway one movie adaption with a hot milf actress and you're guaranteed at least SOME ultrafans. And where there's fans, there's fanfiction.
Imagine 15 year old Kim Dokja going online and finding Underground Killer no murder AU, canon divergence, cute toddler kim dokja, OFC/Lee Sookyung fix-it fic and just looking at it like
This is the real reason why KDJ has sworn off fanfic forever

lewis hamilton is interviewed on media day, las vegas - november 20, 2024 (transcript under the cut)
Ted Kravitz: "Just to pick up on that, last few races, three more races for you to win your third race of the year, and another race for Mercedes, as well. I don't know if you saw in the Mercedes book that's out, Toto gave a… There was a quote about shelf life in there. Toto's clarified what he said, that he wasn't saying you have a shelf life, or he's saying that everybody has a shelf life as to when they're performing well, or good, or whatever the words that he chose. But from your point of view, from the man who doesn't have to prove anything to anybody, the most successful F1 driver of all time, do you feel… Maybe these last three, maybe you do wanna prove something to Toto?" Lewis: "No. No, I feel… I think just me being here, standing tall. I feel strong, I've been training well, I feel great. Honestly I feel like I'm in the best place I've been all year, mentally. Considering how bad that last race was, I think that says enough, and… Look, I've been around this game for a long time. There's been so many things that are said about me, there's been so many microaggressions. And I'm not saying from my boss, 'cause he's been supportive over all these years and we've achieved a lot together. I mean in general, within the media and through all, nothing will take me down. So I'm still here, I'm still fighting, and I'm gonna continue to push. I've got a team that I generally still love. Even though I'm leaving, I wanna make sure I give them the best I can in these next races. If they provide a car that wants to stay on track, then hopefully we'll have a better result."

Sevika my love😚😍 another arcane post lol
You know. I don’t think words describe how I feel about this woman, like look at her!!!
Like??? Hello????? When I first watched Arcane, I fell in love with the story, the characters and the world. The art style was just a cherry on the cake if you will. But then I saw this woman.
Like yeah, she is definitely rough around the edges and like very guarded, but who wouldn’t be growing up in the Undercity? Like, everything about her makes me giddy. Her body, her eyes, her *voice* her personality. Like I feel like she would be a big teddy bear in private but very serious in public. And like, I love *love* her relationship between Jinx in season 2. Like they’re both grieving in their own way about Silko. But also are bonding as well.
Like I’ve seen memes of her being the wine aunt to Jinx lol. But she’s just a really freaking good character and I really *really* hope she doesn’t die in act 3. Also, this is how I feel about Sevika with every gif, fan art, story anything about this woman:
Thank you for coming to my ted talk :3

Even leaving aside the rest of that ask about Karen, how are the show runners "glazing Cara" according to st twitter now lmao. I swear no one on there understands the concept of just liking the people you work with...
very good point. tbh 'glazing' really lost it's meaning. that's just the thing you say now about characters showing up in the show or marketing that you don't care about that much
but looking at how fandom treats certain characters it is kind of apparent how Karen isn't really seen as big of a deal as the show actually makes her in general. (at last in hyper invested fandom spaces. more regular viewers see her as much more of a main character) which i think causes a bit of dissonance when the show keeps promoting her. because if you think she's as unimportant of a side character as say, Dustin's mom, then you probably would think her constantly showing up on posters and bts footage is undeserved glazing
the thing is that Karen is actually kind of important. she's absolutely not a background character
you have the primary mains like Joyce, Hopper, the kids. more secondary mains that don't really have the hard hitting plot points of the show happen to them but are fleshed out and who the writers still take care writing like Steve, Robin etc. and then Karen falls in somewhere between a secondary and tertiary protagonist
she actually gets things to do each season. she has character arcs. from actually meeting and being suspicious of Brenner in s1, to her worry about Nancy in s3, the Billy situation, even s4 ends with her and Holly at the window looking out at the spores
actual side characters in the show, like Ted, the Sinclairs, Claudia Henderson, don't have any arcs to their characters. they're background decorum when their children (the actual protagonists) are home or need to talk to someone
but Karen falls much closer to actual protagonist status. which also explains why she's consistently featured in the marketing alongside the other mains
which is how the Byers and Wheelers turned into the two big families the show kind of revolves around to begin with. we know the most about them because almost all family members are protagonists in their own right. you have the kids Mike and Will, Nancy and Jonathan. and then the moms. the only difference being that Karen is kept in the dark about the UD plot and Joyce got thrown directly into it in s1 because it was her son that went missing
and the thing that people seem to get stuck on about Karen is that she's the only protag that doesn't explicitly know about the UD
which, honestly, makes her kind of interesting. especially with where they'll take that in s5, because she'll have to be confronted with what's been going on eventually. and what has been tormenting both her children for years. hell, she had such a close encounter with Billy in s3, she would have been in Heather's place that season hadn't Billy still had some semblance of control at that point. and she isn't even aware
Karen has been involved in the UD plot for seasons, there just wasn't any payoff to it yet because she doesn't know
Karen Wheeler, tight rope walker when it comes to getting as close as humanly possible to the supernatural plot without having to actually confront it
but it really boils down to, Karen is, and always has been an important character and the marketing has always reflected that
side note but what i've also seen cause a lot of the 'they're just needlessly glazing xyz' complaints is that sometimes it's just people being pissy their favourite characters aren't getting a singular spotlight on them. i've mainly seen it from solo El or Will stans (still exist in the year of the lord 2024) who don't care about the rest of the cast or plot outside of one character. so when Karen who, 'doesn't even know about the UD' gets so much s5 marketing that's hype that could have gone to someone more important in their minds. again, glazing entering the pantheon of words that lost all meaning on social media
#but i'm actually excited for what they'll do with Karen in s5#she's been a hairs width away from the supernatural plot up until now so finally confronting that could be really interesting#especially since it's so relevant to one of her recurring main conflicts which is her relationship with her kids#both to them pulling away; but also that what happened to Barb and Will caused so much of what's wrong with Mike and Nancy#and with how she's so very present in marketing right now i'm kind of excited to see where the protagonist payoff will go for her#ask tag

Maybe it’s just the Caitlyn defender in me, but I like to think that she did promise Vi she wouldn’t change.
I’m hoping it is revealed that after the initial ache and rage (like, once Caitlyn cooled tf down), she put up the commander persona around the Noxians and Ambessa, but deep down was still herself.
I don’t think there wasn’t a single day she didn’t think about Vi. She probably feels so so so guilty. Maybe, in that moment, looking down at Vi crying and whispering, she felt the change tugging at her, and she ignored it. Or at least, let it seperate into this Commander Persona, but she never let it completely take over.
That’s why she’s still so vulnerable and loving with Vi after all the time that’s passed. I think the guilt of her actions had chewed away any change that seeped into her bones, and when Vi called her cupcake, it made her realize that Vi didn’t resent or hate her for hitting her. (I’m not defending the abuse necessarily, I’m rationalizing it) (it’s arcane okay everything can be rationalized)
That’s why she does switch up on Ambessa. She knows deep down who she is. Seeing Vi must have just triggered something in her.
SEMI ACT 3 SPOILER 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
In a teaser for Act 3, there is a scene in piltover where Cait and Vi are arguing. Like heavy argue my girl was yelling with her heart. Essentially, Caitlyn is admitting that she let Ambessa feed her delusions while she was weak and vulnerable and hurting. But that’s the key word. She let Ambessa. She was in control still.
She didn’t leave Zaun after her argument with Vi with the intent to take control of the piltie armies and sweep the under city. She was probably wanting to go to fucking sleep, and cry, and eat something, and breath fresher air.
But when Ambessa elected her, she saw it as a distraction. Maybe a bit of her was still so enraged and was hoping for some sort of retribution, but it was never a thought out plan. Like she says to maddie at the beginning of act 2, nothing went as ‘planned’ but I think this means that she didn’t really have a plan, and was just following Ambessa.
Anyways thank you for coming to my Ted talk 🗣️🗣️ this will probably be debunked on Saturday and ultimately meaningless, but some food for thought won’t hurt 😛
Okay, but the exact words of that scene were;
"Promise me you won't change"
"I won't "
She said in that moment that she would change. "I won't" promise

I made a nocturnals oc :D her name is stella (provisional). I head canon that she was the one who taught ted how to drive lol
Extra doodles I made for the discord
#nocturnals#nocturnals game#the nocturnals art style is really fun to do#like imagine#she worked on the truck that he drives and told him to escape with it when the raiders came#and then she promises to look for him afterwards#one day she ends up in riddleside and just finds the same truck she worked on all those years ago#she doesn't want to believe he's dead since his body isn't there#i'd also like to think in the ending where maggie escapes the nocturnal (and mia is possibly alive) she runs into them and is like what#happened here and theyre like a kid robbed us of gas and broke into our home#and theyre like how horrible#not knowing it was ted who they are looking for#proabably currently lives in a community looking for anyone who needs help#often doing supply runs to look for ted too#my art#Nocturnals oc

How Smalltown Boy Connects with Mike's Relationship with his Parents
I can't get over how they chose Smalltown Boy for the FIRST track on Mike's playlist. I just can't. That's the gayest thing ever. Gayer than his staring I fear. The lyrics perfectly fit him, but not only because he's a closeted homosexual. It's also highlighting his dynamic with his family.
Of course, if we are getting into specifics, Smalltown Boy is a song about a young gay man running away from his homophobic home and town to live in the city to somewhere he can be himself. But generally, it's a song about not belonging and not feeling understood within a place, and the crippling loneliness that comes with it. So you seek a place where you can feel accepted and heard.
Struggling to figure out your place in the world, struggling with your sexuality and relationships, facing severe bullying, wanting to be understood and seen by your family for who you actually are while still struggling to accept who you are to begin with, desiring the escape from the place that brings you all those unmanageable problems -- That's Mike Wheeler.
"Mother will never understand why you had to leave, but the answers you seek will never be found at home. The love that you need will never be found at home"
Obviously, the actual plot of the music video features homophobic parents. I don't believe Karen is, and I see Ted as more brainwashed yet careless. But "the love that you need will never be found at home" reminds me of the Wheeler family's emotional distance and lack of actual attention, and how it's damaging Mike especially. Nancy's already seen right through the bullshit. Mike hasn't.
I don't see them as the worst parents on the planet, but they're haven't been great. They have questionable parenting choices and the show wants us to pick up on that. If you haven't yet asked yourself "where the hell are his parents?" at least ONCE while watching ST, then idk lmao.
Come on. Not knowing your son has been hiding a whole child in your basement for a week?
Never talking to your son about his best friend's death and instead letting him take the responsibility to go to you first?
Not taking concern as to why your son is suddenly misbehaving at school? And instead, you force your child to get rid of 2 boxes worth of toys that hold emotional value to him (while mocking him for having said emotional connection)?
Not even being aware that your child is constantly bullied physically and verbally, and not even questioning visible marks that could indicate that sort of abuse?
Although it's unintentional and we see Karen aware that it's wrong, you're still essentially teaching your child that 1) their feelings or voice do not matter 2) they cannot trust or rely on you 3) their 'childish' interests that make them who they are do not matter and are something they need move on from because they "have to."
And we see this play out.
If his parents can't even accept his innocent interests or show more consideration for them, if it just makes him a future high school dropout or a failure, what makes Mike believe they'd ever accept he's Gay?
Mike NEEDS a support system. He NEEDS parents who care MORE instead of waiting until government is at their doorstep. That type of love has not been consistent whatsoever at the Wheelers. To Mike, that kind of love cannot be found in his home. The answers to his problems cannot be found in his home. In fact, his upbringing is a big reason why he's in this complicated relationship with El to begin with. and he's accepted all that to be fine, despite us seeing how it's turning him into someone unable to manage their emotions who struggles with their relationships communication-wise.
"And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry. But you never cried to them, just to your soul. No, you never cried to them, just to your soul"
This refers to the severe bullying he faces that Mike confirms he's put up with all his life (just for it to be shut down immediately). His parents aren't aware. If Karen, his own mother, doesn't question a giant scab on his chin but some girl who is barely learning what friends are does, don't you think that says something?
"I'm here for you" doesn't mean anything if you aren't actively trying to actually be there. you have to look harder. look at what's right in front of you.
Sure, his mom hugs him! But I really hope we can all agree physical affection isn't the only thing that a child needs to trust. There is reason behind why we've never actually seen them talk about anything that's actually bothering him. Mike is not yet convinced he can go to his parents about the things we know he's facing, and the things that are implied that he's facing. Instead he handles it alone as a result of just "letting him come when he's ready."
The only adult who wasn't afraid to actually talk to him and not let his emotions bottle up was...
"Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy. You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down."
Part of this could be about his bullying experience in general, but I also believe this was foreshadowing for events in S5. Mike and the rest of hellfire are now targets and deemed part of a satanic cult. The whole town are against them and want them gone. Going from to feeling insecure for your 'childish' interests because of your parents, to becoming accepting of that part again, to now wanting to be killed for it by your town. Ain't that nice? Won't that gonna do wonders for this boy? :)
I actually predict they will take some inspiration next season from the hate crime scene in the music video. Perhaps The Hellfire Club/The Core Four/Mike will be attacked and Mike will be brought home/come home beaten.
In the actual music video, the boy's parents find out he's gay from that and they do not accept it.
However, in the show, I think it'll be focused on him being in Hellfire (since DND is a metaphor for gay love between Mike and Will). I imagine it'll be like, "Michael, why are you still associating with them? You know what would happen!" They'd get mad at him for essentially "walking right into it himself." This sets off conflict in the Wheeler Family this season. Mike finally snaps at them, telling them it was bound to happen anyway. He mentions the bullying he's already delt with his whole life. He sees his parents' sudden care in his life as BS and how it had to take the entire town to hate him for them to finally see him.
Another scene they could parallel within this one scene (or in another) could be Jack McPhee's coming out scene from Dawson's Creek, a show the Duffers loved growing up. We often see parallels to that show when it comes to the show's drama, primarily with the El-Mike-Will Love triangle to the Joey-Dawson-Jen Triangle. Mike is also heavily paralleled to Jack McPhee.
In the coming out scene, Jack tells his emotionally neglectful father (who is definitely worse than Ted) - "I was different. And as hard as you've tried to stamp it out and ignore it, I have tried harder than you to be quiet and to forget it and to not bother my family with my problem."
If this doesn't sum up what's going on then idk what does.
It's not that his parents hate him for what they know about him, but they also aren't supportive either. They ignore him. They ignore everything outside of their own little bubble. They close themselves from the truth of what's going on in the town. They close themselves from their kids. They push them to hide and stay quiet, but that's just not who Mike and Nancy are.
We also know we're into some Wheeler drama this season considering all the leaks with Karen/Holly(?)/Henry and the interview with Joe Chrest (Ted's Actor). So scenes like this aren't far off the table.
Mike is a character that is struggling overall with his place in the world and identity. He is struggling with his self worth, his sexual orientation, his relationships, accepting the interests that make him who he is. He is conforming to societal pressures (much similar to his parents) because he doesn't know where else to go. He is confused. He struggles with self-worth and severe insecurity. He does not feel needed unless he is actively doing someone of service to the point of sacrificing his life, much like a superhero, hence his fixation of them. Superheroes are people who are wanted, who are heard and seen - Something Mike feels he isn't.
He's growing up in a small and conservative town, internalizing the homophobia he witnesses, internalizing what he HAS to be and has to feel - He has to want girls (and yeah, believe it or not, homophobia still impacts queer people regardless who it's directed to. there's reason why we see mike's reaction over anyone else's). But he just can't, yet he still tries because otherwise that'd be falling off a "normal path." He has to get rid of his toys and grow up to keep on a "normal path." He has to conform because he fears what would happen if you don't. That's something he's unfamiliar with.
Mike needs to be finally seen by his family. His overall major struggle with conformity stems from there. It's what he needs emotionally, but it also makes sense narratively. It has to be from them. His whole arc along with them is to break free from their conformity, and it starts with the facing their truths as a family.
Mike won't end up making the choice the boy has to in the music video. In the end, he will have his family's support and acceptance. He will be able to be true to who he is. He will accept himself. He won't need to runway in fear. I do still believe he will leave Hawkins (with Will). It just won't be on a bad note!!
#for the people who believe karen is the greatest parent#i think we have a mutual understanding ted isnt a present father#but neither is karen#the difference between them is that karen knows its an issue#we see her struggling to fix this and her attempts#but she needs her husband in this as well#she isnt a terrible mother but please stop with all the 'karen is such a great mom' shit#she isnt and THATS PART OF HER ARC#pls#anyways#i very much look forward to karen and ted's development as parents next season#wheeler sweep s5#mike wheeler#karen wheeler#ted wheeler#the wheelers#the wheeler family#byler

This is how my first try at drawing Booster and Beetle went. I was redrawing comic panels and such, it was great fun!
#jerry draws#my art#booster gold#ted kord#blue beetle#figuring out how to draw Ted was hard af and it shows on here that i had no idea what i was doing at first#but ive made more drawings since and i feel like I'm figuring him out better already. now gotta draw some shirtless shot with lots body hair#what? who said that? sorry got sidetracked in my own tags again. as you can probably tell i am a rambler#i will try my bext and practice drawing them more to do them justice! so i can draw better yaoi!#(seriously. I've learned how to draw people with anime so you know my stuff will look more yaoi than mlm)

I think not a lot of people talk about AM's self-esteem issues and self-destructive tendencies and it makes me sad.
#Ted mentioned AM destroyed parts of himself to look 'perfect'#yet Gorrister also mentions he 'let himself go' over the years#Ted is an unreliable narrator and AM never mentions the reason why he does that.#it could be something mentioned to the survivors before the novel or a half-assed guess from Ted's part#i think it's the latter#i think he sometimes tried to desperately see if he can feel pain#maybe he wants to distract himself from his inner turmoil by destroying sonething. Since his complex is what's nearest. he wrecks himself#or maybe at that point he realized a lot of his servers didn't have a use anymore so he would wreck them#Gorrister's line would make more sense that way because that would imply that after so many years#he does not care about himself as much. At that point his envy is want is so deep-rooted that his ACTUAL form isn't that much of a priority-#to him. He loses himself to his own hate that he loses the sense of self-preservation#but i'm just yapping who knows lol#ihnmaims#am#am ihnmaims#i have no mouth and i must scream

#idk why but that first image of him racing to charlotte makes me cackle#oh hey look i still have too much time on my hands#starkid#the guy who didn't like musicals#team starkid#tgwdlm#starkid productions#paul matthews#emma perkins#paulkins#jon matteson#lauren lopez#so we all know how paul refused to help bill with his daughter in the beginning but then goes with him to save her plays out#well you can kind of say he has similar arcs with charlotte and ted#because in the digital ticket you can see him overhearing charlottes conversation with her husband but doesn’t say anything#but when her husband is coming after her he gets in the middle of it#and ted wasnt invited to beanies essentially left behind but then paul goes back for him#im reading too much into it i know#im still sick i have nothing else to think about other than my misery haha

Ted and Jenny, I personally prefer thinking they were generally insufferable
#the only things we know of her is liked Ted and wants to do edibles at her own wedding#she was Not normal#people can’t change That much he was pretty shitty before Jenny left#not AS MUCH obv but u know maybe it’s a good thing they never got together#NEVER allowed to babysit anyone EVER#I meant to give him like the bangs in the bottom but just automatically drew Owen and only noticed why he looked off in EDITING#fanart#v's art#starkid#hatchetfield#ted spankoffski#Jenny starkid#idk she doesn’t have a surname#the guy who didn't like musicals#tgwdlm#npmd#nerdy prudes must die#time bastard
