MUMBOMAID IS SO BACK BAYBE!!!!!! grian is still sad scar is still flirting with the horrors and mumbo is still sassy. thank god

Grian let himself fall behind as he and Scar broke away into the overgrown path that opened up to the lake. It was a little cold today, cloudy, which felt somewhat appropriate, though Grian tried not to let his emotions run away with him. Not today. Not right now.

Scar knew it, but gave Grian the decency of not mentioning it, his chosen method of helping surely being to do as he always did; be loud, obnoxious, keep Mumbo very busy, and preserve Grian’s personal space. That’s how these things always went. Nothing to worry about.

There was no reason to worry in the first place. Mumbo was not a threat to him, Grian knew this, he knew it quite well, which made it all the more frustrating that he couldn’t make his body, tense and jumpy and ill in all those familiar places, know it too. Mumbo was not going to hurt him. Mumbo didn’t want to hurt him, and he’d never wanted to. That hadn’t kept Grian from puking the night before, but Scar didn’t have to know that. Scar was wary enough as it was, not for his own sake of course, never for his own sake, but Grian got the sense Scar hadn’t expected him to pale at the announcement that Mumbo was finally back, he was home, and they could go see him the next day.

Grian spent a long time organizing the both of their things on the beach while Scar ran immediately into the water, ditching his shirt as he went, like stopping to take it off was just too much of a time commitment. Grian didn’t see Mumbo yet, but Scar’s hollering would surely get his attention. Grian took his time. He’d brought some of his fishing gear, but he didn’t think he’d use it today. He didn’t intend on staying much longer than an hour, just long enough to chase this thistle anxiety away.

Grian walked toward the shore, shaking his head with a chuckle as he collected Scar’s shirt. He shook some of the sand away, but didn’t try too hard; if Scar didn’t want a sandy shirt then he should have taken five seconds to leave it with their bags. Grian rolled his eyes, supposing Scar wouldn’t let himself be slowed down by Grian’s lesser pace. He made a conscious effort not to run as he turned around to return Scar’s shirt with their things.

It’s just Mumbo. It’s just Mumbo.

Natural born predator, three times your size and at least five times your strength.

He’s not going to hurt you.

If an animal like that turned on you, wanted you dead, there would be absolutely nothing you could do to stop it. You know it personally.

Grian sat on the beach. Not quite as far back as their stuff, but nowhere near the water. He settled in, content. There was a small magic to the beach on a cool day; he felt quite cozy wearing a sweater and shorts, arms on his knees, bare feet in the sand. His toes curled when the water rippled.

Scar and Mumbo’s reunion was sweet. Scar with enough energy to bowl the both of them over, Mumbo staying just out of Scar’s way, but not too much as to preserve the game. Mumbo looked mildly bewildered when Scar splashed him in the shallows, taking a good couple seconds of consideration before retaliating with a biblical level deluge, not that Mumbo actually had revenge in mind as he drowned Scar in two massive waves, leaving the other drenched. His fins were perfectly relaxed, fluttering gently as if pleased to have participated in Scar’s game. Scar, sopping, looked just as vibrant.

Grian stared on with an expression of soft neutrality. While his heart rate quickened and muscles tensed when Mumbo met his eye, Grian’s expression did not change, not enough at least to make a discernible difference to a mermaid.

Mumbo blinked at him. Grian blinked back. Whatever Mumbo had ascertained from this short interaction, it must not have been fear.

Mumbo was not as graceful on land as he was in the water, but he was fast, and while Grian imagined this only spawned from a similar level of excitement as Mumbo had expressed with Scar, all Grian could think about was the sharp bite of his rough skin, the small glint of teeth under that expressionless face, and not even the pounding of Scar’s feet kicking up sand could distract Grian from the way Mumbo looked at him, everything and nothing in all of the worst ways.

Grian was utterly frozen.

Mumbo stopped, fins raising in stark alarm as Scar hurtled across the beach, Mumbo nearly jumping out of the way as Scar firmly cut into his path. Mumbo remained perched high on his tail as if he were a poised snake, though there was no aggression there, the position held only as a reaction of surprise before Mumbo slowly lowered himself to the ground, fins flicking cautiously as he assessed the situation. If there were words exchanged between the two of them, Grian didn’t hear it.

Mumbo didn’t seem to want to go back to the water. He must understand what was happening here, surely, but he was hesitant even when Scar moved into his space. Mumbo’s movements were awkward, he wasn’t built to move backward like this, but he didn’t seem to want to take his eyes off Scar.. no, not Scar. Mumbo was still looking at Grian.

Scar had to herd him all the way until the waves grazed Mumbo’s fins, at which point he seemed to understand the dynamic had changed, fins moving in a flurry of emotion Grian couldn’t hope to decipher before Mumbo turned, lunging back into the lake.

Even when he was gone, his dark shape absent from the water, Grian found he couldn’t relax. Maybe it was time to go home. This wasn’t working for him. Still, he found it difficult to move.

Scar stood at the shore, looking mildly disconcerted. Did it bother him that he had to work so hard just to escort Mumbo back to the water? Grian couldn’t say it made he himself feel very good.

“Are you okay?”

Grian hardly heard him, response delayed, “It’s. I’m trying.” He hadn’t even noticed Scar crossing the expanse of the beach, nearly reaching him now.

“We can go home.” Scar extended a hand as if to help him up, but Grian shook his head.

“I might. But you stay. We took separate cars for a reason, I know you’re out of your mind to be here right now. Probably didn’t sleep last night, you were so excited.” Grian forced a chuckle, but Scar did not allow himself to be disarmed.

“I thought you might not want to be alone.”

A bitter venom snapped inside his head, he didn’t need Scar to coddle him, he was fine, and he had plenty of other friends he could call anyway, but forcefully, he swallowed the impulse. That wasn’t fair. It wasn’t what Grian really thought about Scar either, just the snake in his brain always on the defensive, fangs bared, all too aware of how small he was. If he did not bite, if he did not snap in the seconds of opportunity he had to defend himself, then he’d have to count on the glowing eyes in the dim not to belong to a foul-breathed predator.

Mermaids were immune to Grian’s venom. Maybe that’s why he was so afraid.

It seemed Scar had taken Grian’s hesitation as confirmation he needed the company, leaving him to attend to their bags, but before Grian could turn to correct him, the water rippled once more. Mumbo appeared with little grace, eyes wide in as much of an expression of alarm as his face would allow, though his fins standing all the way on end painted a clearer picture.

“No-“ Mumbo continued on in a whistle, and Grian felt a pang of guilt that kept him planted where he sat. Mumbo didn’t know what was happening. He didn’t understand, and Grian didn’t have the words to explain it all. “-Sorry!” Maybe he remembered the word from Etho, but the idea that Mumbo figured he’d done something wrong exacerbated the ache in Grian’s heart. This wasn’t his fault. He was just excited to see his friends.

Scar must have been similarly affected, dropping what he was doing to stare back at the water, seemingly giving in to the guilt and turning around, waving his hands in a placating gesture. “No, no. It’s okay, Mumbo, it’s okay. Things are just hard right now, and no one’s got any power to control that.”

“Stay, Scar,” Grian mumbled the words so quietly he had to repeat himself to be heard, “You stay. This is unfair to him, he doesn’t get it, and I’m fine. I’ll call Jim when I’m back home.”

“It’s-“ but Scar didn’t finish, distracted by Mumbo attempting to inch his way out of the water once again. Scar’s hands found his own hair, distress written in every line on his face; wanting to preserve Mumbo’s feelings, but keep Grian comfortable. Scar scrambled to the waterline, meeting Mumbo at a stalemate where the waves met dry sand. “Mumbo..” Scar practically whined, asserting far less of the firm dominance he’d used in the first place to drive the mermaid back, and Mumbo seemed to sense it.

Mumbo pushed forward in a short burst, and while Grian understood sudden movements were the only way Mumbo could get enough momentum to move on land, he and Scar still flinched, Scar stumbling back a few steps.

“Mumbo- No. No. You stay in the water today.”

“No.” Mumbo replied, toneless, as if he’d understood exactly what Scar had said and simply didn’t care. For the first time Grian realized Mumbo was holding something when he raised his arms, waving the dark item in Scar’s face before attempting to move forward again. Scar, however, didn’t move this time, the two of them meeting in a touch neither party seemed to expect, but Scar took advantage of, moving against Mumbo to physically push him in an effort that would have been completely pointless if Mumbo was not so averse to human touch. He jumped back with a short hiss, but Scar didn’t seem to find this very threatening, pushing forward with this tactic until Mumbo was firmly back in the water, Scar up to his ankles. Grian had never seen Mumbo’s fins flick so hard, not raised like they would be if he was angry, just fiercely annoyed.

“Grian,” Mumbo called his name in what felt like some kind of appeal, but Grian couldn’t defend this. He didn’t want Mumbo on the beach. He didn’t want Mumbo anywhere near him, even with his bleeding heart.

“I think I’m gonna go. You guys have fun.” Grian unfolded his hands from where they were tucked behind his knees, resigned. This wasn’t working. He’d come back another day with a book and a Xanax or something.. But just as Grian was getting to his feet, Scar yelped, and Grian whipped his head up to see Mumbo had grabbed him, coiled high enough to hold Scar’s arm straight above his head, not lifting him, but nearly, and it was probably a good thing Grian froze to the spot, or he might’ve fired his gun without another second’s hesitation.

“Mumbo!” Scar hollered at the mermaid, but even as Grian found his footing and retreated for the tree line (catching a startled look from Scar, but Grian wasn’t in the mood to fuck around and find out), Mumbo’s fins were calm, measuring whatever he’d been holding against the length of Scar’s arm. It was a long, flimsy object, so dark in color that it was hard to gauge the exact shape besides vaguely tubular, but whatever it was it dwarfed Scar’s arm in length. This seemed to annoy Mumbo, fins flicking in time with an unhappy sounding gurgling sound, after which he released Scar unceremoniously, whirling around and diving back into the lake as if pouting.

The clearing was silent for a moment, the both of them processing.

“Way to hang me out to dry there, G!” Scar turned to the treeline as he called out, wearing his crooked grin and looking utterly unphased by whatever just happened.

“I couldn’t have done anything,” Grian tried to force himself to sound amiable, but the sentiment felt a little too true to be a joke. Maybe Scar sensed that, flipping his approach.

“I wonder what it was he had there. Looked a little bit like a big ol’ glove to me, but I couldn’t really see the fingers. What kind of material is that, do you think? Something they had synthesized underwater, obviously. Too big for me though. Too small for him, so it must be something he made for us. Maybe that’s why he’s being so sassy today. Dork.”

“Something for us?” Grian mumbled, idly filling the silence as he thought. There was that one time Grian had brought a helmet he intended to give Scar as a gift, and Mumbo had taken it away to.. do whatever it was he did with it. Grian still wasn’t exactly sure, but Scar loved it regardless. Maybe he knew humans liked to wear things, that they gave clothes to each other as gifts. Had Grian shown him the helmet was meant to be worn? He didn’t remember. “Gloves feel like an odd choice,” he continued his train of thought out loud, “Maybe that’s why he wanted a better look at me. He knew he needed to make modifications.”

“Oh! I bet you’re right! I doubt those are the only modifications he’ll need to work out though, whew! If what I saw at the ends were actually meant to be fingers, those were way too long as well. It’s cute though, like he obviously remembered that we’re smaller than him, but at the same time he was like ‘surely they’re not that tiny!’ God he’s adorable. How do I tell him he can grab me like that whenever he wants, sweep me away into the vast unknown!”

Grian snorted. “What, and drown you?”

“Uh, no, Grian, he would take me to our mermaid wedding and we’d live together in peace and love for happily ever after.”

“How do you suppose you’ll get to your mermaid wedding if it’s underwater?”

“Who said it was underwater!”

“If it’s a mermaid wedding then the assumption is that you’re going to them. Meet his mermaid relatives and get their mermaid blessing before you wed, you know.”

Scar rolled his eyes, but Grian knew better that Scar loved a pointless hypothetical, “Well, Grian, if you must know, mermaids possess a secret magical ability that grants any chosen recipient temporary gills SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of romantic underwater weddings. One kiss, Grian, and you will be granted entry to the deep blue sea.”

“And how would you know?”

“Mumbo told me!”

“Oh did he, in the language you can’t understand, right?”

A devious expression crossed Scar’s face, replaced almost instantly by a feigned innocence, though the glint in his eye stayed, “Love transcends language barriers, Grian, tsk tsk, I never imagined you to be so closed minded. You’re only proving me right to not have invited you to my little excursion last night..”

Grian huffed, but he had nothing better to do than bite. “And where did you go?”

“A moonlit lake! Quiet, serene, stars dancing on the dark surface. I just couldn’t wait, I couldn’t wait, my lover and I, separated for so, so long! I had to see him again, even if it meant venturing out into the cold, cruel night.”

“Uh huh,” Grian tried to interject, but he got no further before Scar talked over him, louder now.

“My lover was waiting for me, right here, sat patiently on sand colored white from the moon, his gaze full of admiration as I finally broke through the foliage and onto the beach. We stared at each other for a moment, a long moment, and then I ran to him, I ran to him and he caught me,” to emphasize his story, Scar galloped back to the water, leaping on each bound before ending this dance in a small turn, “spinning me around in circles in the shallow water. He was a little slimy, but I forgive him, as I know he has the same distaste for my own dry skin, something we may struggle with in our future together, but will eventually move past, just like our many trials and triumphs. And then, his movement in the water slowed with me in his arms, holding me so tenderly. I couldn’t stop looking into those big dark eyes of his, while he was looking at the fins I don’t have, and slowly, with love flowing freely from both our hearts, he leaned me back into a deep-“

Scar screamed as Mumbo popped innocently out of the water beside him, startled himself by Scar’s reaction, though Mumbo relaxed under Scar’s attentive reassurance, Scar laughing as he went. When Scar wasn’t projecting his voice so that people miles away could hear him, Grian couldn’t catch much of what he was saying on the other end of the beach, so he went to gather his things instead, grateful for the distraction.

“No!” Mumbo’s reaction was delayed, caught up with Scar, but he sounded more distressed this time, and Grian couldn’t stop his heart from aching all over again. He felt alright now, but that was all Scar, and it just wasn’t productive for Grian to be petrified to stone at Mumbo’s every movement, especially when he seemed so determined to get up on the beach and greet Grian personally. And honestly, if Mumbo tried to be as forceful with Grian as he was with Scar.. Grian couldn’t take it today. He might have to get Etho on the phone to communicate that boundary directly; clearly Scar’s attempts were not enough.

“I’m sorry,” was all he could manage as a response, hoping Mumbo would understand. “I’ll be back.”

“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with? I could walk you back to your car at least,” Scar offered, but Grian shook his head, waving Scar off.

“Mumbo really wants you here. Stay. Have your weird mermaid kiss moment in privacy, you’re getting married soon after all. I’d better be invited to the wedding, that’s all I have to say.”

“Of course you’re invited!” Scar gasped, as if offended Grian had dared think otherwise, “Though, you might have to get real okay with fish lips real fast.”

“Eugh. No thanks. I might pass, actually.” Grian hauled his bag over his shoulder, turning to go. Again, Mumbo called a soft ‘no,’ but Grian pretended not to hear over Scar’s grand exclamation.

“How dare you! Grian, you are not allowed to just ‘pass’ on my wedding! You come back here right now, mister!” Grian shook his head, laughing softly to himself as he made his way back into the trees.

…

Grian wouldn’t call Scar horrible at keeping secrets; no, he wasn’t very good at it, but when it came to gravity or privacy, Scar was a trustworthy guy. What he was really bad at doing was keeping his mouth shut when the secret was something Fun or Exciting, and Pearl had told Grian quite a few stories of having to keep surprise birthday gifts under wraps from two people at the zoo, since someone just couldn’t help himself from giving Hints or talking around the surprise until he accidentally slipped up. Grian had already known this for a while, but it was nice to commiserate a bit when work got dull or gross (and when it came to Pearl’s work as the ‘cleaning lady’ it tended to get gross).

All this to say, the entire next week Scar was bursting at the seams. He attempted to get Grian to abandon work multiple times, which seemed to be bad practice coming from the guy who was technically his boss, or at the very least his boss’s boss, but Scar dismissed these claims vehemently. Still, Grian was not that eager to go back to the beach, no matter what was waiting for him there that Scar was so excited about. In all honesty, seeing Scar so wired nearly baited Grian’s curiosity enough to give into Scar’s demands that they ditch work and live frivolously, however, given that Grian still Needed Money, he remained grounded enough to resist the temptation.

They’d been lucky Scar caught Mumbo’s return over his cameras on a Friday night, woof. After work Grian was just too tired and/or anxious to do much, but he had a feeling he’d have been dragged kicking and screaming if Mumbo had a little worse timing.

Grian supposed it felt nice to be wanted. Maybe Mumbo had finished his gift or whatever it was he’d made for the both of them. That seemed most likely. Scar would lose his mind over anything Mumbo gifted them, whether it be a fish glove or a pot of gold.

It was Scar that suggested they take separate cars when Saturday rolled around, and while Grian was planning on it anyway, he got the sense that Scar knew if he spent that much one on one time (20 minutes) with Grian in a small box, he’d spill that secret he wanted to keep for sure. Grian found it amusing. It helped ease the anxiety of going back, along with his own throbbing curiosity. (And what a relief it was to feel that curiosity again, strong and alive and motivated when for so long it was nothing at all.

Scar called into the water when they arrived at the beach. Literally, head under the water screaming, and Grian was glad Scar wasn't in a position to hear him laughing. It was a little strange though.. usually when Mumbo came to the surface he was.. you know.. on the surface.

But Mumbo couldn’t have been far, answering Scar’s call less than a minute later, probably in a rush to get here so Scar would stop making all that ruckus. Grian’s theory that Scar was being annoying seemed to be confirmed when Mumbo headbutted him, just hard enough to knock Scar on his ass. Grian would have been alarmed if Scar hadn’t laughed, but Grian still found himself a bit startled; Mumbo wasn’t usually so okay with touch. Maybe it was okay if Mumbo was the one initiating? If it was brief? Had something changed in the week Grian hadn’t been around? Scar had been stopping by almost every day, Grian was pretty sure. Why was he so hung up on this anyway? The last thing he wanted was for Mumbo to touch him, he’d had quite enough of that thank you very much! Still, the pang of Ambiguous Something remained in his chest.

Scar’s voice snapped him back to reality, “Is it okay if he comes up on the beach, G? He’s got something for you, it’s really cool, I mean- maybe not the most practical thing in the world, but don’t you dare tell him I said that. It’s extremely sweet, that’s all I’ll say. That’s it. That’s all you’re getting from me. It’s very-“

“Sure, he can come up,” Grian interrupted somewhat thoughtlessly, just to get Scar to stop talking, but was a little alarmed with himself after realizing just what he’d given Mumbo permission to do. Scar, not catching on at all, gave Mumbo a bright double-thumbs up. Grian’s anxiety was quelled slightly by the jump of Mumbo’s fins as Scar’s signal, raised and waving, before he slid onto the beach, having the decency to approach slowly. Scar jogged closely beside him, and Grian did his best to stay very very still.

Grian didn’t notice the item in Mumbo’s hands before it was being presented to him, the same ‘glove’ that Mumbo had been measuring against Scar’s arm the week before.

“I.. What is it..?”

Maybe Mumbo was annoyed Grian wouldn’t take it from him, fins lowered and flicking gently. (Maybe he was nervous?) “Gift.” Mumbo tried, but still Grian couldn’t bring himself to take it. In the wake of this painful interaction, Scar made himself the middleman, taking the item from Mumbo’s hands and shoving it into Grian’s.

“Come on,” Scar pushed, urging Grian to at least pretend to be excited. Grian wanted to. He wanted to, but felt so suddenly out of his depth. Augh- this was so stupid!

Grian turned the article around in his hands; it felt strange, much different than human clothes, much longer than human gloves, though Grian was still pretty sure that’s what it was meant to be. When he got to the fingers, two of them were hard; filled in. Ah. Despite himself, Grian’s stomach churned. He understood. The components looked somewhat mechanical, but the material was so dark, no contrast to aid in Grian’s understanding.

“Put it on, G!” Maybe his lack of reaction was infecting Scar with nervous energy as well, Mumbo and Scar looking nearly identical in their expressions of anxiety. Mumbo’s fins were all the way lowered by now, submissive in posture, while Scar was practically shaking with unspent energy where he stood. God, Grian was such an idiot, this was so stupid. Why couldn’t he just pretend to be fine like any normal person!

Wordlessly, Grian did try it on. It was a little awkward with his sweater, the arm of the glove going all the way to his shoulder like what must have been mermaid fashion. After awkwardly attempting to ball it up at his elbow just to have Mumbo and Scar stare at him with increasing distress, he ditched the sweater and put the thing on properly. The material was thin and smooth, odd to the touch but not uncomfortable. It was a little loose near his shoulder, but Grian suspected this was a side effect of the glove being modeled off Scar, the whole thing tighter through his forearm, a fact that extended especially to his hand. It almost felt like a compression glove, maybe intended to reduce swelling in mermaid amputees, or just to keep the pseudo appendages in place. Speaking of, the makeshift thumb and forefinger were longer in proportion to Grian’s other fingers, but he supposed this made sense when Mumbo’s own fingers were far longer than his or Scar’s. There was an odd texture at the end of the two fake appendages, and Grian was unwilling to pull the glove all the way on because of it.

Maybe he made a face, because Scar amended quickly, “There’s another piece that you’re meant to wear under this, but Mumbo needed a better measurement of your hand- I think. It’s a little like velcro, but a lot thinner, stronger too. It’s meant to stick to the fake fingers and keep them more firmly in place. But look! Look at this!”

Scar took Grian’s hand, holding it closer to his face so he could see the intricacies of the appendages. “They’re mermaid prosthetics, isn’t that cool? There’s only one joint, but with this little knob-“ Scar tapped a part of the forefinger Grian hadn’t seen before, twisting it until the top joint fell, then tightening it again in that position. “Not super versatile, but you can probably help keep something or another from falling out of your hand with it. They’re grippy too, isn’t that neat? Again, probably not too useful for humans, but who cares! Oh! Oh! And this isn’t even the best part!”

Scar turned back to Mumbo before Grian could respond, gesturing somewhat vaguely until Mumbo presented a small pouch, which Scar took before Grian got the chance to stare blankly at Mumbo’s gift like a total idiot. Scar dug around in the little pouch until he found what he was looking for, and Grian didn’t so much as see what he had before Scar had taken his hand again, fiddling with the fingers and snapping something into place. When Grian was released, his prosthetics had two gray-black claws, the same color as the rest of the glove.

“Whoa.”

“Cool, right!? You could slash the shit out of someone’s face with that!”

Grian laughed despite himself. “Guess I could.” Gingerly, he poked the points with his other hand. “Sharp. Yeesh, these guys aren’t messing around. What else is in there?”

Gleeful, Scar handed over the pouch, “Mostly decorative stuff I think. I don’t see a practical purpose, but I think it’s because mermaids don’t really see stuff, they have to hear how cool your fingers are. The fingers have to be fully extended though, and they’re a little bulky-“ Scar reached to fix the forefinger, but Grian batted him back gently, wanting to try himself. He found the knob a little difficult to get his fingers around, but easy enough to turn, able to set the finger straight without much trouble. Scar, who physically couldn’t allow himself to leave Grian alone lest he explode, took the pouch back, digging out one of the decorative pieces. It was a different color, more of a silver metal, but Grian doubted that was purposeful, the real draw (for mermaids at least) being the symmetrically engraved design. Scar produced each one until Grian had seen them all, surprisingly versatile in patterns and structure. Some had small spikes, some were gently warped in almost a wave-like design, and one pair even had a similar claw-like structure curl over the top of the finger, though Grian got the sense these were more for show than the actual claws; they didn’t look quite as sturdy. Still, even if they were a bit odd looking after being attached to the top of the prosthetic, Grian found himself quite charmed, and at the end of it all, deeply touched.

Mumbo had known. Of course he’d known. Maybe being pushy at their first arrival wasn’t exactly the most sensitive way of going about this, but he hadn’t meant any harm. He had just wanted this to work.

“Thank you,” Grian said, accentuating the tone so that Mumbo might understand; Grian knew Etho had taught him a few things, but he didn’t know exactly which words or how much Mumbo had forgotten in their long break away. Either way, Mumbo looked gracious, fins high and waving contentedly.

Grian smiled, but lost his breath in the next moment as he looked past Mumbo to see a figure perched on an outcrop in the shadows, narrowed eyes looking directly at him.

“What? What is it?” Scar asked, concerned at the sudden change in demeanor until he followed Grian’s eye, stiffening as he saw exactly where Grian was looking.

Who the fuck was that!?

[pizzapasta23045]

Thing is... I'm kinda not very interested in Pierro... Like logically I should be, he's one of 4(?) Khaenri'ahns we have in game that we've seen a model of, I should care!!!! I just... Maybe because his only lore is kind of old... But the chess shit is so interesting about him, the fact that he confirmed the chess theory is something that exists in the game as well has sparked so many theories about Khaenri'ah and Kaeya's father, since in the Chinese Kaeya's lore he is said to have place in Mondstadt like a piece in game of chess and now Pierro just does... That....

Pantalone tbh I can't take seriously. I'm Italian, and while yes, commedia dell'arte is part of our history.... I can't fucking listen to people simp fir ducking pants I'll burst out laughing.... Like oooh pants is soooo hot.... Uhh I want pants to rail me or some shit.

Like at least dottore is a title, like a a respectable thing... But pants?!

Also signora makes me giggli because it's just miss and it feel like she's THE Miss when you talk about her.

I find Signora very cool, she could've been very nice indeed and I don't get why she was scored so low (she's clearly one of the most competent of all which is what makes me quesion if the harbingers are actually rated on strength or if it is just, you know, manipulation on Pierro's part since the two lowest both don't give a shit about rankings and are, arguably, the most loyal to the tsaritsa and her ideals. But Let's not get into that here because this is already too long.)

I did not meet her long enough to form an attachment to her since, you know, to me it was like a month between her appearing in venti and dying in Inazuma because I was frantically trying to catch up on story, and I kinda did not try to find additional lore so I didn't know about the tragedy of her character, just thought she was a bitch (and a cool one at that). Also, by the time I was done and entered the fandom the only discussion we had was about her ashes which... Yeah... Could we not comment that under every single FUCKING post!?! It's not as funny as you think it is, I promise.

The scene where she kicks my scrunklie Venti is so based though, we should get a callback to it it was hilarious.

Columbina... Well, I logically understand why you'd be interested in her, she's so mysterious and shit you know? It's kinda cool, but we know so little of her I can't say much more than that. Scar's voice lines about her are ominous as shir thought NGL.

(personally I'm more queer for Arlecchino but hey, taste is what it is lmao. Also the way she insults the others when they mock Signora is super cool and based)

Childe.... He got fuckboy design not even gonna lie. Gif he was a modern au char he'd wear those grey sweatpants and like a ducking lame ass t-shirt. I also just don't pull for bow DPS because I can't aim for shit (I pull bow if they're like, supports like yelan(yeah yelan is a support for Scaramouche in my house)) so I probably... Won't pull for him like ever.

I love his lore though... It is very dear to me. I found confort in his story during some dark times. Also he's... He's very similar to Scaramouche (though how much the second would loathe this statement).

Like, they were both basically pushed on all sides into doing violent thing, Childe just still had his sibling as a "stopper" to remind him of what he actually cares about while Scaramouche... Well, Dottore took care of that. Also funkie mam commits war crime is always funny so yeah.

(A tangerine left on the counter too long lmao that's the most creative insult about him I've ever read!!!(The counter is the abyss) )

Scaramouche though! My obsession, my foil! Lobe him to death. Fun fact, every single day something important happened to Scaramouche I would ask my father to put Bohemian rhapsody on in the car to and from school (It was like in an old rock folder of his and we found it during a long trip) and my whole family would sing it at the top of their lungs...

I am normal, as always, about my interests.

Also, first time there was ever a con in my town I went and I got a picture with a Scaramouche cosplayer there I was so happy. (He was with a fishl cosplayer who later started dancing to a k-pop set up she was insane...)

But yeah.. scrunklie, first 5 start I saved and prefarmed for, very relatable guy!!! Inhuman characters are also cool and based and everything!!!!! I didn't get an emotional attachment to the purple, since, you know, I saw him ONCE before it was rumored that design would changed at the beginning of sumeru. But yeah, to be both were fine visions for him to have, I personally preffered anemo because he was different from his mother but yeah... He's cool regardless so whatevs.

Pulcinella. Yeah... Like logically I know it's probably in some way a antisemetic caricature but he very much reminds me of the actual masks of the commedia, which I have seen in real life and everything since, you know, Italian, but yeah, I do understand that the masks themselves could be antisemitic because yeah, that is a problem in Italy and those masks are old as balls. But also, fun fact, in Italy he's part of an idiom that's like "secret of pulcinella" which implies that it's not a secret at all and I'm curious to see if they adapt that part in lore.

But it's fair for you to be irked, I get it!

Oh so you are a dottore fan! Cool! I'm, like I said very mentally divided when it comes to him. He's a funkie guys, a neurodivergent king, a goofy little man and a serial commiter of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Fair that you find him relatable! I too will most likely be a stem girly or a girly interested in stem. (Genetics, my interest is genetic engineering, dream career. I wish forensics was more of an option but in Italy it's not a very "popular" career so it's kinda hard to find a uni. Also, dead people irk me and shit. Which yeah, Dottore also probs does a lot of genetic engineering or the genshin equivalent)

Wait dottore has made a children gladiator?! I did not know this... Wow... Was there like a reason or anything or was it just for goofs?

Aldo yeah... A lot of the fatui seem to be incredibly lost. Like just how happy they seem under homicidal maniac Tartaglia tells you how badly they are treated under the others.

But they do believe in shit! It's insane to me the dedication they have! Because while people do use the org for their gain they are, at the end of the day, a revolutionary organization! And you almost forget that when you get to harbinger level because so many of them just couldn't give a rat's ass about it.

Opinions on the harbingers. Like them, hate them? Who's your favorite? Any one of them you're mildly interested in a totally normal way?

(I am totally normal about both Childe and Scaramouche... Definitely. Def didn't have a slight mental health crisis (all resolved DW!) and watched TikTok about both of them think 'oh wow! That is so relatable! I really do understand the mindset!")

HEHEHE GIGGLES MANICALLY I DO VERY MUCH LOVE THE HARBINGERS!!!

Pierro has been a favorite lore character of mine since Pale Flame came out (especially because it dropped at the height of my 10hours a day genshin fixation during quarantine), and I hope he like. Kills a god. I think that would be fun. I think he should be playable also literally just because he's some cringe-fail old guy (and also extremely close-knit with lore and I want to know everything). Also he's a Jester. I love Jesters. He's silly. He plays chess. He predicted the Cataclysm. He's like. A silly guy.

Pantalone is a huge favorite of a dear irl of mine so I've come to like him via osmosis (silly money man)

OH GOD AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON LIKE. SIGNORA AND HER ENTIRE STORY I MISS HER SO BAD I MISS HER LIKE A PART OF ME SHE JUST WANTED TO DEFEND HER NATION AND THEY TREATED HER LIKE SHIT BECAUSE SHE DOVE SO DEEP INTO HER WORK THAT SHE BECAME ALMOST MONSTEROUS HERSELF AND AND SHE DID DESERVE THAT AND SHE MAKES ME SO SO SAD!!!!!! SHE DIDN'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE!!!!!!!! SHE WANTED TO HELP ITS NOT HER FAULT THAT ACCEPTING THE CRYO DELUSION SUPPRESSED HER MEMORIES OF HER INITIAL REASON FOR BECOMING THE CRIMSON WITCH IT WASNT HER FAULT IT WASNT HER FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really really miss her she's always been a favorite of mine, even before I knew she was the Crimson Witch (in fact before that was revealed, I loved the Crimson Witch and Signora both very dearly and then her identity reveal came out and I was so sosososooooo exited and then ei killed her. So. Common Ei loss I guess) (that cutscene had me in tears) (Signora was so scared) (She wanted to live she wanted to live)

Colmbina I think is one of the few remaining Seelie with human form left (judging by how she's extremely angel themed and a lot of her design motifs line up with Seelie Courts), and also I. Am very lesbian about her. I'm like shaking her around and giggling and bouncing she's soooo silly (I hope she kills a god <3). I love her to bits

Childe. Um. I am so very sorry I have tried very hard to get into him, and as much as his character intrigues me and I find parts of him relatable, I hate his design so much. IT'S. Entirely irrational of me. LIKE. HES A GOOD CHARACTER AND THERES SO MUCH OF HIM THAT INTRIGUES ME but also he looks like someone left a tangerine on a marble countertop for like a week, and I just can't get past it no matter how hard I try :') I rlly wish I could like him tho bc so many of my friends like him and he's really popular, and I DO like his character!! (Like I REALLY like that he's a kid who fell into the Abyss and had so very many things to deal with at a very young age that he scared people so they sent him away, and he's extremely young and has so many aspirations and his government and family have not been fair to him!!!) However, his sense of style,,, bothers me. And I have always been a huge sucker for character design (grew up on graphic novels and comics, lol) it's a major player in how I choose favorites, and I can't stand his goofy little outfit. His boots are cool tho. I do adore his boots. And I like his scarf, and his shirt collar? But I just. Wish he leaned more into the reds and they gave him a more sedimentary rock-type color palette. It would suit his hair much better, and sedimentary rocks are formed by settling in water, and are often carved through BY water, so they could have used blues as an accent color (which would easily bring out his eyes) and I just. RAGH. THERES SO MUCH MISSED POTENTIAL IN HIS DESIGN IT MAKES ME SO SAD

SCARAMOUCHE THO. I love him. My little guy. My bestie boy. I have two friends who've cosplayed him at cons before (If I remember correctly?? It might just be one, but hey). I love his story, I love his character, I was a little sad when they took away his purple and made him Anemo (I really really wanted there to be a narrative about reclaiming the element of Electro as his own, not something of Ei's, (Plus Elctro grant trigger being feelings of loneliness or isolation or stark Difference from society) but the Anemo vision suits him just as well and I feel really punctuated him standing up for the Traveler in that cutscene in his quest because him choosing to defend us was him essentially choosing his freedom from the past, which I find IMMENSELY cool). Also I'm a sucker for inhuman characters. I love how he's a doll. A puppet. I love how he seeks humanity. I love his passion. i love him to bits he's so silly I'm gonna shake him around :3

Pulcinella I don't like bc. His design irks me? It reminds me too much of antisemitic caricatures

Pulcinella. My silly. I hope she maims and kills.

Archellino. Also hope she maims and kills. I think she would be very cool about it (I'm also so lesbian about her)

HOWEVER. Um. Huge confession (that honestly isn't that shocking)

I enjoy the very worst of them.

Dottore is my favorite </3

Is he a horrible abusive scientist with awful morals, a vile opinion of almost everyone around him, and also tortures children/sends them into a gladiator ring against God remnant/lies to their parents/takes advantage of the nation's initial kindness/actively defies protocol and will not obey the law if it suits his own needs/leaves extremely dangerous technology around because he just doesn't need it anymore and doesn't care about who stumbled across it/etc?

Yes.

Am I extremely abnormal about him?

ALSO YES.

I hope he never succeeds in anything again and is forced to tag along with the traveler so I can dissect his character like a lab experiment. He knows things I know. If you put me and him in a room together I will not make him better or worse, in fact, we will have a rabid discussion about Khaenri'ah bc boy oh boy do I just KNOW he's got a history up in that morally corrupt head of his. (Also I live in the USA and Sumeru's academia reminds me a LOT of the US university system (overworking overwhelming ridiculous requirements questionable morals corrupt upper board etc) so. Guy who quit school bc they were like "Ur fucking insane"(he is) kinda resonates with me!!) (also I love mad scientists I love them sosososoososoooooooo much they're SO dear to me) (Mainly because I have an interest in mortuary and forensic sciences)

(Also btw you are incredibly real for hating the vile villain side fo Dottore I completely understand!! He's like genuinely a horrible person <3)

The Fatui as an organization just makes me sad. You ever talk to Fatui npcs? Some of their quests have brought me to tears. They get treated so horribly by the Harbingers and yet they believe with all their soul and heart in the Tasritsa and I just. :'( they deserve a lot better and they make me sosad and there are side quests you do for some of them in the Chasm that make me so so emotional bc it's so clear how little the Harbingers actually care about them :(

[frozenmoonshine]

Ok, so, I just randomly decided to make a list of Top 10 hottest (male) TR charcters... No idea why, it just popped in my head, lmao.

I wrote this 97% for the lolz, so don't take it too seriously.

So, here it is:

Top 10 Hottest Guys of Tokyo Revengers

10. MITSUYA - It's common knowledge that he's the Husband Material ™️ of the series! He was introduced as this responsible, mature, reliable guy with a somewhat eccentric hobby, and you may be into the cool, calm, collected, talented, kind ones, who're good with kids and house chores, but you can't convince me that your ovaries didn't do a happy little backflip with his glow-up in the last arc! You just know he's a little devil behind that whole boy-next-door act. 😏

9. SHIN - Ok, throughout the most part of the story, he was just Mikey's dead brother, who Mikey himself led us to believe was weak, generally lame, and a hopeless loser with women. Then we got the flashback chapters in the last arc, and what did we see? Capable, hardworking, caring, loving, selfless, persistant man, strong both in a fight and in holding his ground. Hell, he cared for vegetative Mikey for four years, pretty much all alone, sacrificing his own dreams and life in the process. Also, black turtlenecks and bomber jackets. That's all I'm gonna say.

8. HANMA - Who doesn't love a bit of occasional insanity?! The ultimate troll, both in the verse and in the fandom, tricked us all good! That's just how bored he was. Annoying, completely random and unpredictable, grinning madman who's only there to watch the world burn, by setting it ablaze with his own hotness! I mean, tall, tattoed, well dressed, cocky, handsome bastard, with sleepy eyes, anyone?! I hate the fact that he's giving an inexplicably strong 'boyfriend vibe'! But, I just wanna call him 'Shuuji'... 🤭

7. HAKKAI - This cutie is criminally underrated and slept on! I know Wakui did him dirty by not giving him a more complex personality than just a Mitsuya simp, but look at him! Tall, handsome, strong, blue eyes, lip scar, piercing. No wonder he ended up with a modeling career! And on top of the stunning looks, he's just a pure, shy baby! 🥺 Makes you wanna tease and corrupt the hell out of him! 🤭 Besides, his implied clinginess and loyalty suggest he's a keeper, and if that isn't hot, I don't know what is!

6. MIKEY - The definition and the school example of that old proverb - the strongest poisons are kept in the tiniest flasks. Yes, having incredible fighting prowess is hot, being a capable leader is hot, having endless authority is hot, being "emo" is hot, being painfully cute is hot... We don't care that he's pocket sized (and mentally unstable), with his endless charisma, our favorite gang leader very well deserved his place on this list!

5. WAKA - Simply, he's sexy and he knows it. And we know it. You know it. Your grandma knows it. Everyone knows it. Teen or adult, law abiding citizen or a crime lord, the White Leopard could make anyone anywhere fall for him at the snap of his fingers! ...if he only cared enough to do so, tho.

4. KOKO - Intelligent, smart, sassy, sarcastic, and plain insolent = perfection. This cheeky, well-read, super stylish, handsome motherfucker had us fawning over his strong, passion-driven personality, hidden under the cool façade. What's not to love about a blindly devoted guy?! It doesn't matter if it's the devotion to a cause or a person he deems important (#lucky Inui siblings). But fair be fair, that habit of sticking his tongue out should be X rated...

3. BAJI - If his fiery, man-among-the-men personality, undying loyalty, and endless kindness aren't enough to make you burn like a car, just take a look at that perfectly chiseled face, cocky smirk, and glorious raven locks! Still not convinced? Well, you're either blind, dead, or not into guys at all! We should actually be grateful that his adult version was only ever shown at the very last chapter, cause anything more than that would have been beyond too hot to handle!

2. KAZUTORA - There's just something indescribably magnetic about the whole "redeemed sinner" trope, and that alone would have been enough to get him a spot on this list! But since he also happens to have the handsomest face in the show, a beauty mark under the eye, the cutest smile, a piercing, a tattoo, and a fair amount of badassery and strength, it all sums up to the total of our dear banana tiger being the runner-up!

1. HARUCHIYO - Does this one really need any explanation? Pathological loyalty is beyond hot, wearing a mask is hot, scars are super hot (as already established), suits are hot, piercings are hot, long lashes are hot, pale blond/albino is hot, green eyes are hot, skillfully wielding a sword is hot, smarts are hot, being a little bit deranged is hot... the list could really go on for days, there's literally nothing about him that doesn't make him hot. "...Being a homicidal maniac and a drug addict?" No, he's excused for all red flags on the account of pretty privilege!

[obscure-imagines]

*Horror genre/smut warning*

-He’d be very tentative to catch feelings for anyone because he’s a very depressed boi

-quiet guy is hard to get to know, especially after an apocalyptic event

-Even if you’re survivors together, he’s just kind of going to be floating around quietly, so if you want to get to know Hyunsu, you’re going to have to make an effort

-Hyunsu is drawn to beautiful things, things that inspire hope (music, kids, etc...) and he can enjoy pleasurable things for a time, but Hyunsu is always terrified that good things will be torn from his grasp, so he never wants to let himself love something too easily

-Boy has his found family, so being accepted by his loved ones would be really important.

-It would be the elder survivors like Han and Gilseob who notice the connection between you and Hyunsu first

-i’m talking hard core pining, long looks, Hyunsu’s eyes finding you any time you enter a room, but you’re both oblivious to each other

-It’s a tough situation because Hyunsu is still treated like a monster at times, and people are obviously scared of his dark side

-Hyunsu can’t even imagine getting close to you, for fear that he’ll hurt you

-his monster alter ego even toys with him by mentioning you sometimes, further increasing the poor boys anxiety

-He’d get growingly agitated any time you have to put yourself in danger, and always ends up going places with you just to make sure you’re protected

-it starts with him just kind of shadowing you when you head up to your apartment for something one day

-the building is pretty much safe, but when you catch Hyunsu out of the corner of your eye, you almost have a heart attack, which he apologizes profusely for

-he goes with you to your room and is kind of awkward at your door because you’re a pretty girl and he’s about to go into your apartment, even if it is a post apocalyptic world, boy has manners

-He’s also just very big and tall, so even though he kind of hunches over, he sticks out like a sore thumb in your apartment

-he’s so quiet, but once you find something you both mutually enjoy to talk about, he begins to loosen up

-he continues shadowing you, he’s pretty much your designated monster survival partner 

-at dinners you start to eat together and everyone is low key hoping you both work out, but are also worried about what it could mean for you if Hyunsu turns full monster out of the blue one day

-He’s very hesitant to allow you to touch him, so you’d have to start small

-like maybe you offer to help him clean up some residual blood left on his skin after he’s healed from a fight

-Hyunsu all but holds his breath while you wipe his skin

-big uwu boy, heart eyes to the extreme

-he honestly just needs a good cuddle and one day, after a particularly rough event where you almost die, Hyunsu is too tired to be in full control of himself, so when you crawl into bed with him, wrapping your arms around his frame, Hyunsu allows himself to enjoy it

-the biggest soft boy is the small spoon sometimes cuz he really needs it

-he falls asleep in your arms and it’s the most peaceful sleep he’s had in maybe years

-when he wakes up, he rolls to cuddle against your chest, still half asleep and unaware of what he’s doing until he can hear the beat of your heart under his ear and realizes you’re not just a pleasantly warm pillow

-boy practically jumps out of the bed and needs to be pulled back into your embrace

-if you start massaging his scalp and holding him to your chest- he’s going to die, like, he’ll never be happier

-He craves your cuddles like nothing else in the whole world, and allows himself more and more to be happy when he’s with you, and to be with you often

-seeing him smile is so odd, people are shook

-the first day you grab his hand in front of people makes his heart melt

-the two of you are simply waiting for dinner, and you grab his hand, playing with his fingers casually

-you don’t even notice how impactful the gesture is

-after dinner, Hyunsu finds himself swept away by the key men of the group, Han thinks it’s all very cute, Gilseob agrees with Han but he’s worried like Eunhyeok that Hyunsu could be a danger to you. Sangwook is just there because they dragged him along

-Hyunsu is still worried he could hurt you and you notice him pulling away after his discussion with the guys, which leads to him fully communicating to you all his fears about being a monster and not being good enough for you

-squash all his anxieties with a kiss

-Hyunsu will melt against you, your lips are the best cure for his busy mind

-if you tug a little at his hair boy will be whipped forever

-once he opens up to you, he’ll tell you everything

-time spent cuddling and just talking

-tracing his scars and kissing them, telling him you’ll never leave him

-him being worried about becoming a monster but you’re so determined he won’t- and you won’t let him try to avoid you for your ‘own safety’ so he’s pretty much just stuck with loving you and accepting that you make him happy and he’s allowed to be happy

-helping him cut his hair and being shook by how much younger he looks

- “do you like it?” he wants to make sure you still like his new hair

-he’s so much more boyish- it honestly makes it worse when his hair is short because people have been straight up offering him up to really hard jobs because he ‘cant die’

-like, you’re going to be fiercely protective of this boy, just as he is of you

-yeah he’s the one that ‘cant die’ but if someone tries to be even slightly mean to him, you’re jumping in and throwing fists

-’oh? you guys think it’s a good idea to sacrifice him to the military/government for our survival? time to meet my fists’ you’ll jump in swinging i swear to god

-you would probably be down to fight Eunhyuck on the daily for how he treats Hyunsu like his watch dog/hound

-low key everyone is prepared to wake up and find you and Hyunsu just gone one day

-he looks at you with the biggest heart eyes, like, boy is so in love with you and anyone can see it

-he’s going to cherish any time with you

-nights are for cuddles and memorizing your face in the moonlight that comes through the windows

-will find you cute little gifts, like, if he knows you like certain books or stuff like that he’ll keep an eye out for things to amuse you when he’s looking for supplies 

-being way too fucking cute. like. this is an apocalypse and this man is just out here being a full fucking simp for you im-

-be careful as he gets more in love with you though because if someone threatens you, his monster side will pop out

-you’re feeling fragile one day and someone says something rude about Hyunsu and ‘how much time he has left’ and when Hyunsu finds you crying, his eyes go black and his monster side demands you tell him who he has to go kill for you

-after that, you can be certain his monster side won’t ever hurt you, which makes Hyunsu feel a lot more relaxed

-boy finally lets you touch him for longer than like five minutes because he’s not scared of loosing himself when he’s with you anymore

-ok, let’s be real, ya’ll would find ways to fuck even during the apocalypse

-boy deserves it. he DESERVES IT I TELL YOU

-soft honey boy, starts so soft, so much kissing and foreplay

-you’d really have to initiate things going farther than just kissing, and he’d worship you if you undressed for him

-10/10 will tell you he loves you while buried completely inside of you

-lots of gripping and passion, breathless kisses, hand holding and finger squeezing

-let him burry his face in your neck

-the sweetest aftercare filled with cuddles, hugs, kisses, and sweet words of affirmation

-he’s super shy about petnames, but you pet your ass that this big soft boi is going to let ‘jagiya’ (honey/sweetheart) slip every once and again.

-super shy about pda around other people, but you purposefully like to show how much you love him to make everyone else think twice about being mean to him or prejudice because he’s ‘infected’, whatever that even means.

-stealing his massive clothes

-taking care of him in ways that count, like making sure his depression doesn’t get the better of him being able to complete basic tasks, like cleaning him after a fight and making sure he eats properly

-being Hyunsu’s proof that humans can live with monsters, because you’ll never let him go and you love him

-i mean, not even going to lie, 10/10 Hyunsu would make living in monster world worth it

Jin Bubaigawara - Fluff headcanons

Warning : Nudity mention

Genre : Fluff

Synopsis : the title. it says things.

Reader : male (he/his)

He's a very physical man. 

He has a tendency to act first, think then, and this mixed with his clingy side can be quite overwhelming sometimes and he is aware of it. 

So in the beginning of your relationship he's never engaging PDA unless you tell him you don't mind at all, that he can go all out with his affection.

 He likes to sit on the ground as he plays with Spinner. He's not good at it but he really loves to have you sit between his legs and cuddle him while he plays.

He moves a lot though. And he's loud. So don't think you’ll take a nap. He will try to keep quiet if you’re really tired but it won’t work. So instead watch him play.

He’ll complain that he lost because you distracted him. Or that he lost because you didn’t encourage him.

Make him sit on your laps.

Just do it.

He’s used to you sitting on his laps, and he absolutely adores it. Squeezing you against him and planting random kisses on your spine, humming against your body as he cuddles you peacefully.

It could be an important meeting, if you sit on his laps he’s not a part of the reunion anymore. Simp first, human second.

But the first time you grabbed him to sit on you-

He short circuited. He just sat there, never speaking, never moving, not even thinking. How could he think when on your laps ?

You had to pull him closer and snuggle him to bring him back. He immediately babbled nonsense, incoherent words and happy sounds.

He’s putty in your hands. And he has no shame in telling you so.

Just sitting on your thighs, his back against your chest and your arms wrapped around his waist, his heart is about to burst out of his chest and this world.

Chairs don’t exist anymore. It’s only your laps. But you’re definitely not complaining.

He loves when you pet his head. Play with his hair, boop his nose, poke and kiss his face. Gently rub his scalp.

He wasn’t comfortable with you touching the scar on his forehead because when he thinks he’s splitting that’s where the pain is. But with time he came to appreciate it. Your gentle touch soothing his mind and the stinging feeling of his scar.

He loves bear hugs. Quickly running to you and squeezing you tightly. And he’s super excited when you do it back. Tightly holding him and walking him around as if he weighed nothing.

He’s always ready to spend time with you. He’s just overall happy to be with his friends, his found family, so why wouldn’t he be excited to be with his boyfriend ?

Just like with the others, he trusts your abilities 100%. He knows you’ll come back and you won’t abandon him. But he’ll gladly take the opportunity to accompany you -if allowed to- to protect you.

He can be a little bit hard to handle when you don’t feel like being around people, but communication is the key. Tell him you need some time alone or in a calm place and he’ll immediately understand.

Sometimes he’ll ask if he can still stay with you as long as he is quiet. He’ll be a little bit sad if you refuse but won’t push it, and after a few minutes he’s already moved on, hanging out with Toga or bugging Dabi.

But if he can stay, it’s not necessarily to cuddle. He’ll just take a nap, watch TV, smoke by the window and occasionally check on you.

Anything you give him is a gift.

But he won’t always react nicely.

“What’s that, a rock ? What do you want us to do with it ?”

“I don’t know I thought you might like its colors”

“Thanks ?” he’ll say while carefully taking it and staring at it. He won’t say much about it but he will definitely not throw it away as you’ll find it back a few days later in a drawer or placed by his belongings.

Whatever you give him, he can’t throw it away. You put thoughts in it. He doesn’t care if it was some hardcore thinking and planning or just “oh lol black and white like his suit”.

He gives you a lot of things too. Even rocks. Because it’s pretty, because it made him think of you, because it will make you think of him, or because it kind of looks like a heart. Some flowers he picked up by the road -or stole from someone’s garden-, books, clothes, snacks…

He barely ever thinks about doing it. He just gets something and then goes “Oh hey, [Name] would love this”.

He’s bad at cooking. It’s either over cooked or not enough. He tries to do weird mixes sometimes. But you both agreed to stick with the recipe in front of you. No improvisation.

He is really curious. So if you’re the kind to cook a lot, and do complicated things, he likes to watch. And he’s going to have questions. “What’s this ?”, “How did you call it ?”, “What’s it for ?”, “Why don’t you use that ?”

He’s a lazy person. So even though he understands how people can like cooking, he hates its consequences. One of the reasons he mainly orders food or buys prepared plates is because he hates having to clean.

Yet you’re out there making a full course meal, mood totally unchanged by the sight of a full sink ?

To get him to clean with you is a little bit difficult. Suddenly he found other things to do. He will end up helping you for certain things, but he won’t stick with you for the whole cleaning party.

His apartment is an “organized” mess. Kind of. So do you really think he’s bothered by a full sink ?

But I digress and we kinda lost the fluff vibe.

The only way to take baths is to have one at your place. Giran did help him find somewhere to live, but there’s the strict minimum and it’s quite small. So for the sake of it, you have a bathtub.

He wasn’t a fan of it at first. Because he just wants to shower quickly, avoiding as much as possible to stay out of his mask for too long. But nothing stops him from wearing his mask while bathing with you.

He does prefer cuddling on a couch or in a bed, but suddenly chilling in the hot water of your bath isn’t that annoying anymore. But he won’t want to get out because he’ll feel cold once out of it.

So how do you make him leave the bathtub ? By stepping out of it. Get out, dry off and leave the room. He’ll quickly hop off, almost falling due to the wet tiles.

He’ll either rapidly wrap a towel around himself or do nothing and run to your room to join you in your bed. He doesn’t care that he’s still soaked wet, he’ll dry off by snuggling you even if you try to stop him.

You’ll end up leaving the bed to get him something to wear so he doesn’t catch a cold. Of course he’ll hear you complain about how there’s water everywhere, from the bathroom to the bedroom.

He’ll quickly apologize, saying he’ll clean it, which he actually end up doing the next day.

[cottoncandyjester]

Sooo remember when I said yandere kids? Yeah so if you were to have kids with the ocs this is what you get

This is only pt1 there will probably be more parts introducing all the big kids

Warning this contains: talk about self harm, abuse, grooming, and other dark topics

Lyric, 15

So you and zeke decided to have a baby

Lyric is a pretty quiet kid

You and Zeke raised lyric to understand that clothes, colors, and style doesn’t have a gender

Cause of this he has a unique style which results in lots of bullies

Has a self harm addiction

Lyric gets into a fight about once a week cause he has bad anger issues

He is allowed to express himself anyway he wants..so he dyed his hair purple

He is like the group therapist always the one listening to their issues

He can’t stop cutting

He likes playing drums and guitar

His passion is photography though

He has to punish himself

His favorite is pictures of cool places mostly areas with neon light at night (even though he knows full well he isn’t allowed to be out too late)

Despite his age He is deemed group leader so if anyone has issues they go to him first

No one can know

All around very chill and easy going

But if you piss him off he is like a raging bull all he sees is red

He is taking anger management classes as well as “medication” (he smokes pot)

Zeke is not allowed to touch his hair and it drives that man crazy

Lyric does his own hair..aka he doesn’t do anything but put oil in and stuff like this boy doesn’t understand the importance of combing your hair everyday

He absolutely terrifies his little sister like she loves him but he scares her bad which is perfect when he has to keep a secret

Luna, 16

You decide to have a kid with Salem..poor soul. 

Luna is very much like her father

When she isn’t being a pervert she is actually pretty amusing

She is such a simp for Kai( rin’s son) but sadly he doesn’t quite feel the same way

She is incredibly smart though like she’s a student council member

She does have a habit of touching places and people that she shouldn’t

Also sneaking into the boy’s bathroom.. yeah that’s an issue

She is constantly trying to tempt the others into being perverted as well

She gets super pouty if no one pays attention to her

Is constantly trying to get boys to touch her body

She doesn’t like when lyric scolds her for being gross

Definitely a masochist

She is pretty serious about school though

Flirts with teachers

Really likes reading romance novels

Is a hopeless romantic

Like she is only a teen and already wants to get married

Has a baby brother that she isn’t fond of

How dare that brat get all of papa’s attention

Kai, 15

For some reason you decided to have a kid with rin

Kai is....dumb

Like really bad at school

But he is trying his best!

Gained his scars when rin told him to do clown make up with a knife..as a joke

Poor Kai didn’t quite understand that it was a joke

Kai just has a loveable personality

Like no matter who he talks to they find his ditzy behavior adorable

For this he gets away with a lot of stuff

He isn’t too fond of clowns oddly enough

He is definitely into the make up aspect of it though

Like pretty makeup ✨

He is more brawns than brains

Despite this he is a sweetheart who won’t harm a fly

He is definitely a golden retriever boy

The type where you have to explain a joke to him and he still won’t get it

He’s super gullible like you can tell him that the moon is made of cheese and he’ll believe it

Which makes him perfect for doing shady jobs for cash

After all he’ll do anything if you tell him you need help how could he say no to someone in need

He is used to seeing clowns all his life so he knows most of the little clown gimmicks

Is insanely flexible and is amazing at gymnastics

He really loves gymnastics cause it’s such a good workout and he’s actually good at it

Yuuri,17

Having three parents( two of them being twins) instead of two is a tad confusing but alright

Yuuri was forced to dye his hair purple since he was one years old.

Blue + red = purple

Yuuji definitely traumatized this boy

Yuuri was forced to look exactly like his fathers as much as possible

He rebels against this by growing his hair out and acting out

Is the singer in a rock band

A rebel for sure

Not very good at it though

Like he will cry if you yell at him

Despite this he is constantly loud and hyper

He hangs out with grandpa kenji

Tries so hard to seem dangerous

He can’t even slam a door cause he feels like that’s too aggressive

The only time he seems aggressive at all is when he is singing

He dropped out of school

He still pretends to go though

Grandpa said he’ll make him a star..so why does his body hurt everytime?

Red, 15

You would think having a kid with Hikaru would equal a normal kid

Nope instead you two get red

His real name is shiro but the group calls him red

Lyric found him soaked in blood behind the school dumpsters

Red is the most chaotic thing in existence

The mask is either fully on his face or pushed to the side

He doesn’t fully take it off

His bangs cover his eyes and it drives Hikaru insane

He doesn’t share the same values for appearance as his father

Red has been seen digging through trash several times

He likes to take trash from the dumpsters and make it into art

He might have hanged around salem a bit too much

Snorts when he laughs

Also is completely insane but that’s besides the point

Him and indigo(Mateo’s son) has a very Jessica rabbit/ Rodger rabbit relationship

He has been known to set stuff on fire

Very artistic

Has a collection of street signs he’s stolen

He worries Hikaru almost everyday

Terrorizes his little brother with a water gun constantly

Has the behavior of a rabid dog

Would not he surprise if he had fleas

Does the dog itch constantly

Yknow scratch his ear with his foot..yeah he does that even if he’s wearing shoes

Has a bad habit of chewing stuff in his mouth from wires to plastic to wood he just can’t help it

Is actually pretty good at school and is smart

Grandpa kenji said that he would help him become an artist

He just has a special way of learning

He is a great friend to the others

But he is 90% the reason they all get group detention at least once a month

He isn’t too fond of modeling or acting despite his father trying so hard to get him to do it

Why does it hurt though?

Rambling about the Family Tree

Here’s the Family Tree!

And under the cut is all my rambling about designs or whatever! (this ended up not being about designs too much. Hm)

OK WE NEED TO BE ORGANIZED HERE I’ll be going generation by generation, from left to right. Everyone will be here, just for organization sake. Of course, some people are more important than others, so be warned for long rambles (in generation 2 especially) OK LET’S GO

Generation 1: Iida Parents: Idk man. They don’t even have designs. They’re probably cool Enji: He doesn’t deserve to be drawn well :) That and he doesn’t deserve to meet his grandkids :)) Rei: She deserves to be pretty and be a cool grandma. Her grandkids adore her. Hisashi: This mans is kinda wildin’ in my universe. Whatever he’s up to, it’s not being Inko’s husband. Inko: Soft grandma!!!!! We love her and she loves her grandkids and husband. Toshinori: He deserves to retire and settle down and be happy with his family and be adored by his gandkids. Emiko’s Father: He and Yukie got married (and Yukie got pregnant with Emiko) almost right out of highschool. He expected Yukie to give up her career to care for Emiko, but that didn’t gel with Yukie, so she divorced him when Emiko was little. Idk where he is now. Yukie: We love her. I love her. She’s super sweet and super cool and super short and that’s all you need to know. She also looks a lot like Eijirou (or, at least I tried to make them look similar) Crimson Riot: I subscribe to the Dad-Crimson theory, so here we are. After Emiko started elementary school, Yukie tried to get her career back together, but after meeting and having a thing with Crimson Riot and getting pregnant with Eijirou, she gave it up to be able to care for her kids. Nadie: An American journalist who moved to Japan for work! She and Yukie met and got married when Eijirou was 9-10. She has 3 kids from her previous marriage (that ended in disaster). Christopher Skyline: (Yes, THE Christopher “Captain Celebrity” Skyline. We’re just ignoring the Vigilantes canon over here.) Nadie’s ex-husband and the father of Hanae, Etsuko, and Suzume. He was a serial cheater, and the kids was a desperate attempt made by Nadie to try to make him stick around. Sperm Donor: Just a sperm donor. Mitsuki: Still looks SUPER young. She doesn’t like it when her grandkids call her “Grandma” or anything like that because it makes her feel old. Masaru: Loves being called “Grandpa” or whatever by his grandkids. He loves them, and likes to visit them a lot. Mika: Still quiet and chill. We love her. Kyotoku: Still loud and fun. He’s a cool dude, and he got them smile lines Beru: Her head is weird. I’m sorry queen, but it freaked me out. Ganma: He freaked me out even more. He was my least favorite to draw. Sorry bro. Uraraka’s Parents: Her dad reminds me of my dad (vaguely). They don’t have names, but they’re cool. Also, Ochako was able to get them a nice house, so good for them. Shouta: Just go look at @nartothelar‘s Silver Fox AU that was my main inspiration. He a grumpy old man who only likes his kids and grandkids and family. Hizashi: Same thing as Shouto. I like to think that all of his hair has grayed, so his hair is like Platinum Blond now.

Ok! Gen 1 done, and it was mostly me rambling about Eijirou’s parents. Maybe one day I’ll dedicate a post to them.

Generation 2: Tenya: I had him grow his hair out because 1.) I thought it was cute and 2.) it represents him loosening up a lil’ after school. He wears contacts during Hero Work, but wears his glasses casually. Tensei: Literally just the same dude. He’s Tensei and he’s chill and he’s cool. Dabi: I gave him an eyebrow piercing and a fun new cut. (Fun fact: That’s his Fantasy AU fairstyle) Fuyumi: I hope her hair looks very Teacher-y and Motherly. I think she looks super cute. Natsuo: A simple dude. He finds a cut that works and sticks with it. Although I did give him sideburns and a lil’ touch of beard. Shouta: Instead of shaving his red side, he combs the white side over it. Also, I hc that in his left eye, he’s half blind. Izuku: Yikes. He got the wound early in his hero career. He went blind in his right eye, so he and Shouta together are like 1 and 1/4 blind. Emiko: Eijirou’s older half sister. I would say she’s Girlboss and Natsuo is Malewife, and I think that’s accurate - even if only a little. She’s a social service worker, and met Natsuo in college. I had an old design before, but I like this one A LOT more Eijirou: I am a simp for long hair Eijirou, so here we are. ALSO freckles!!!! I love freckley eijirou. Also stubly beard and cool new scar. He is very dad. Hanae: The chill little sister. Probably a lawyer or professor or something smart like that. Etsuko: The crazy sister. She works in the hero field! If as hero support or as an actual pro, idk yet! Suzume: The ex-crybaby sister. She’s prolly doing something fun and artsy. Also, HUGE demigirl vibes Kane: The energetic little brother! He has most certainly gone pro, since he’s like very early 20s now. Fun Fact!: He was 6 when Mieko was born, so a lot of people thought they were siblings. It only got worse when Akio rolled around. Katsuki: hehe Undercut Bakugou. Also, hearing aids! I put his eyebrow scar there so he and his hubby are matchy matchy. Actually, both of their scars are pretty matchy matchy.... huh. Also, I’m totally not saying he was invloved in the fight that gave Izuku his scar, definitely not. Mashirao: STOP SAYING HE’S PLAIN AND ORDINARY. HE’S BEAUTIFUL DAMMIT. Every time I draw him I think about how darn pretty he is and that he could be like a KPop star or smth Tooru: It’s tooru! Super fun lil’ lady. What a queen. Mina: Look at that kick-ass scar I gave her. It’s what she deserves. Although, that eye may be a lil fucked up. Ah well, at least it looks cool. Yuuga: LOOK AT HIS HAIR. I am so happy with how it turned out! He so pretty. He and Mina are DEFINATELY Girlboss and Malewife. Hado: Also a simple lady. Prolly also needed to stick to her brand of long hair. She still super pretty tho. Lowkey disappointed I didn’t give her the stereotypical Anime-Protag’s-Mom hairstyle Haya: Completely shaved her head, and got more piercings! Like, 100% more Punk Rock. Itsuka: FRECKLES FRECKLES FRECKLES. And short hair!!!!!! Sigh, I love her. Tetsutetsu: I tried to make him look like Ejirou, even if just the face structure. I like how his hair and scar turned out tho. What a lad. Mezo: What a cool dude! Got a sick nasty scar, but covers it with his hair. I think, even with a majority of his face covered, he is still very handsome Miya: She has a name now!!!!!! What an icon. She’s a Hero Costume Designer, and she has a spider mutation. Wolf Spider, specifically (I think). She is so adorable and spunky I love her. Momo: Short hair!!!!!!1!1!1!11! God, what a goddess. We love her so so so much. Also, she gets to have a cool scar, too Kyouka: While she’s in UA, she straightens her hair, but after she graduates, she doesn’t care abt it. Momo rlly likes it curly. She also has that thing going on where you shave all of ur head except for ur bangs (and the side thingies). Oh! And eyebrow piercing! Satsuki: Pretty! Also, I made sure that all the girls who would’ve been 6-7 during the current time all had ponytails now (Satsuki, Etsuko, and Eri) Samidare: He’s super cool, and I decided to give him long hair to make him cooler. Also, Demiboy vibes, anyone? Tsuyu: A queen!!!!!! I love her so much!!!!!!! When her hair is down, it reaches to her shoulder blades. Ochako: SHE LOOKS SO BADASS I AM SO HAPPY. Look at her, with those cool scars, and that cool hair! What a queen! Mirio: Classic Mirio! Tbh, idk if I’ll give Mirio his quirk back. Like a lot of the stuff in the recent arc I’ve ignored, soooo......... Tamaki: He has SO MUCH HAIR. It ridiculous. Since growing it out, he uses it to hide behind if it’s left down. So Mirio likes to do stuff with his hair and make it look cute. Nikko helps, too! Eri: A queen!!!!!!!!!! Idk if she’ll be a Pro Hero or doctor that specializes with pro heroes, but I want her to be happy and help people! Hitoshi: Hanta and Denki weaves flowers into his hair a la Rapunzel all the time. The braid is really loose and shitty a lot of the time tho. Ah well. Denki: Because I moved his black stripe to down the center of his hair, my little sister keeps calling Denki and Race Car. And I agree. He got those scars because he was able to train himself to really not fry his brain anymore, but that means if he overloads, his electricity escapes some other way, so through his ears and into his face. Hanta: That scar was very strategically places because I am a firm believe that Sero will uncannily resemble Shouta when he gets older. I hadn’t done a really good job at that tho....... hm.

Gen 2 is done!!!!!! It was my fave generation to draw UwU. I’m not sure what to say with Gen 3, since I’ve already talked about them a lot. Jeez, idk. I’ll think about something to ramble about later.
