some more paul and physical touch as his love language headcanons? 🥺🤲
aaaa i love love love paul x physical touch :((
i think that paul is obsessed with physical touch. as in, actually obsessed. as in, he's not able to be in the same room as you without having his hands on you. but not only is it something he craves and feels like he's starving without, but it's also his way of showing you how much he loves you.
he doesn't always like to admit just how down bad he is for you, though. when you've had a bad day, paul's excuse is wanting to comfort you; with you settling in his lap, his hands caressing your thighs as he listens to your rants, the proximity in itself lessening your pain. when you're in a crowded space, paul blames it on needing to keep you safe; with an arm slung around your waist, a hand on your side and his fingers grazing your ribs, he guides you through the mass of people at the festival, just to make sure you don't get lost and no one tries to steal you away (he doesn't know how to explain the fact that he keeps his arm there even when you're out of the crowd, though).
but a lot of the time, he can't be bothered to be shy about his feelings. in the mornings, when you're a mess of yawns and tangled limbs, paul will wrap you in his embrace and never let go, fingers brushing up and down your arms. when a race goes particularly well, he wants nothing more than to lift you up in the air and squeeze you tightly to him. and late at night, when you're wrapped up in blankets together and the movie on the tv is long forgotten, he loves to trace his thumb along your features, down the slope of your nose and over the apple of your cheeks.
but his favorite act of physical touch? hand-holding, 100%. he'll be holding your hand at all times – while sleeping, cooking, driving, eating, walking, cuddling, you name it! there's just no better thing to him than the feeling of your fingers slipping between his, the backside of your hand under his thumb, getting to squeeze your hand in his...
of course, he loves receiving it just as much. nothing beats the tingle that shoots through his body when your fingers thread through his hair, your nails scratch down the back of his neck, or palms glide over his muscular shoulders.
but not only is it in the needy way that he wants your physical affection; your touch really means a lot to him. it's comforting, stabilizing, soothing. and most importantly, it's reassuring, like a physical reminder of how much you love him.

oh to hear a purely silly sellout bell in its purest form, after intense lore that then completely breaks the fourth wall <3

ctommy's character as a whole is characterized by love, hope, and grief. you cannot have one of these things without the others.
tommy's love for his friends, pets, and belongings is the first big motivation in his story. he is attached to his discs because they represent happiness, safety, and home, all things that he loves. his love for these things fills him with hope for the future, and now hope is a major part of him. when wilbur and tommy are exiled, he has hope that he'll be able to save l'manberg and wilbur by proxy, a blatant display of love. this is also where grief enters tommy's story. he is grieving the loss of his home, but remains hopeful, because he believes that he can reclaim it. tommy's feelings of grief are exacerbated by wilbur's death, which he has a front row seat to. he grieves not only his brother, but the idealized view he had of wilbur. he grieves because he loves wilbur and because he had hope that wilbur would get better, that his problems would be fixed after they got l'manberg back. all three are cogs in a machine that keep tommy moving. each of them motivates him to continue, even in the darkest of times. he lived through exile because he found hope in his escape. he lived through doomsday and didn't break down because his friends who he loved were there to support him. he lived through the disc war finale because of how much he loved others; they came to save him. he lived, he lived, he lived. in his finale, his love, hope, and grief ultimately led to his demise; he loved tubbo and had hope that tubbo would live a fulfilling life if he committed an ultimate sacrifice.
love, hope and grief is what makes tommy. they are the reason why he lives, they are the driver of his tragic death. tommy loves with his entire being, he holds hope in his entire being, grief wracks his entire being. tommy is love, hope and grief incarnate. it's why he wears his heart on his sleeve; tommy is his heart.

Sigma killing Fyodor and whatever the fuck he did to Hawthorne is suddenly reversed by the cutting of its life force...and so the memories and understanding of every kill, of the blood and the murder and the despair, all hit him AT ONCE, locked up in Anne's Room and just screaming and screaming and screaming

Gavi is 19yo and he blamed himself for el clásico even though he was by far the best player in the whole pitch. Why our elders always shield themselves by pointing out others or just go by the "we tried our best"? Maybe its just a la masia thing not throwing your teammates under the bus or showing at least some self criticism.
It's not just that, it's the way he didn't care for the praise of his performance because it doesn't matter to him how good he was individually when it didn't lead to the team winning. He doesn't put himself above the team nor detach himself from the result and that's because he's a good team player and simply inherently good. He could've easily come out and pointed out how Romeu didn't do his job or how Marc should've saved the shot but he didn't. He just expressed his disappointment and showed a good mentality without pushing anyone under the bus. It's not that difficult but I guess it is for some people.
