[cerbreus]

i need you guys to look at my pretty pretty rocks 👀💕❤❤💕

[luckyofthelawnvariety]

I've finished Etho's s7 hermitcraft so guess who's back with a slightly updated/slightly consolidated list of things about ethoslab I have noticed! or just enjoy!

(the previous list)

I have no idea when he learned to noteblock. I don't know if he knows. he knows how to noteblock tho. he's really good at it.

on that note, did you know that there is not a single piece of non-noteblock music in etho's s7 after the first episode? there might not even be any in the first episode. every single timelapse or montage is set to noteblock music

(he sang along to parts of his paper planes noteblock cover too. he was going shopping. I was entirely too delighted)

(also, there is some like...sitcom music theme that I don't know what show it's from. it's bothering me that I don't know. what you need to know is that throughout his s7 etho uses said sitcom theme as the transition before Shenanigans With Fellow Hermits clips play. his life is a sitcom. yes it is the noteblock version.)

I think that etho desperately needs minigames for enrichment. if he's not playing one he's working on one. he needs them and he will let them completely consume his life

the etho decked out 1 runs are hilarious, partially because it's funny to see him play it and realize how absolutely insane decked out 2 is, and how much of a madlad tango is. etho is still the same menace with great luck and skills. I had forgotten about the hole to the void in the middle out decked out 1 tho, that was a fun reminder

etho could make a career out of translating classic type games into minecraft. he kind of has, but it's a pattern.

he also keeps coming up with new games that are minecraft only and is good at figuring out how to balance them well.

again, king of minigames. he will in fact analyze them as much as possible. he caught on to the pattern of impulse's whack a mole game in like...2 rounds? maybe 3? he's good at pattern recognition and will put it to good use no matter the minigame

etho, I cannot stress this enough, is a little shit and enjoys being such. free glass is obviously an iconic moment, but I had forgotten about him scamming scar out of diamonds for "information" about the resistance, or about sneak-e-e's business model (you can't tax what you can't find!), or about how he kept being extremely ridiculous with beef in regards to record shop payments...the list goes on

etho is also very competitive. I mentioned this in the last list, but man...he joins like every single competition he can. he wants to win. he's not like, a sore loser, but he likes to win, and he'll get a little upset if he doesn't.

etho and beef have clearly known each other a long time and ngl I miss their interactions a bit. let them bother each other a bit more please. I want to see them trying to kill each other in ridiculous ways again please. or doing minigames together. they're so silly.

kind of similar, but etho loves getting a rise out of people and it is the best thing ever actually. it's fun watching him use dirty tricks to beat bdubs to sleeping for a prize. it's perfect actually.

that being said, I still really like when etho is just on his own working on stuff too. s7 has a lot of moments where etho will go "I'm gonna use this block palette!" and I will think "bro that's ugly" and then he will make an extremely cohesive build that I want to live in out of it. I think a good way to describe it is that for example bdubs is really good at detailed builds with texture and not much color, and a very realistic twist to them. etho is not afraid to use color at all, and embraces how the colors can work together or contrast. it's fascinating to watch and I love it.

he is also a redstone genius. I feel I am starting to understand how some things with redstone work. could I design something myself? absolutely not but I could work from a tutorial and not feel completely lost on why I have to use a dispenser and not a dropper now.

I think s7 etho is really experimenting a lot with style and how he wants to do things. he does a few more elaborate intros, for example, that are very planned out, but he also does a lot of the classic "hello everybody this is etho and welcome back to hermitcraft!" it's fun and it works, but I honestly feel he might be more confident in some ways now in s10, which is nice to see.

(side note—I think etho has some trouble with tone sometimes, where he really wants to make sure everyone's having a good time, but also he really wants to tease people. this works well with like Beef, who he's known a while, but especially in people he's known less he's quick to catch on if they take what he's saying too seriously, and clarify that he is teasing. it's nice to see tbh, just the clarity even with his audience)

speaking of llamas, I had not realized how recent some really big updates were. bamboo and pandas were new at the start of s7. the nether update came like halfway through?? I was more in the casual build side of mcyt at the time but man...I didn't realize how crazy that is to think about.

just...the way that etho visualizes builds is great. not just like, leaving space for farms, but filling in the spaces with a lot of details that make sense but also work with the space to cover anything it needs to AND to connect with the rest of the base. the sightlines thing is something I see a lot of other builders using but etho really uses them a lot in the Monstrosity in order to keep it from being Too Much as you walk through.

really just...he wants to have fun, and he wants to learn, and he wants to experiment and figure things out. if he can mess with some friends when he does it, that's a great bonus, yknow?

man. what a guy.

[shankss-magnificent-ass]

Imagine Shanks finding out you're a painter

You: *humming along to some music as you apply a fresh coat of paint to the wall of the galley*

Benn and Lucky Roux: *walk in*

Benn: Hey Kid.

You: Hey

Lucky Roux: Did you make sure to use the mold resistant paint?

You: Yes Roux.

Benn: And you applied the sealant before the paint?

You: *nods your head* And the primer, I got this man, thanks for checking in on me.

Benn: Alright then, I'm just gonna open this here winder to get some fresh air in here, so you don't get high off the paint fumes.

You: aww, but that's the best part.

Lucky Roux: *snorts* Let me know when you're done, so I can start dinner. Also, when you are done, you might want to put up a barrier, so none of the others accidentally lean on it.

You: I enjoy seeing them covered in paint. So I think they're gonna be in for a surprise, or at least the boss will be. Because I bet you a thousand berry that he's definitely gonna lean in the paint.

Lucky Roux: I'll take that bet.

Benn: I ain't, because he'll definitely gonna do it.

The next morning

Shanks: *Still annoyed that he got paint in his hair the night before* is this shit finally dry?

Benn: yeah, the kid didn't paint in straight lines though.

Shanks: what! But they're usually so meticulous about doing tasks perfectly.

Benn: it was on purpose too, take a close look.

Shanks: *leans in and glides his fingers across a floral design in the brush strokes* do you think they like painting?

Benn: I believe so, that, or they inhaled too much paint fumes and decided to have fun with it.

Shanks: both are possible... Didn't they repaint the hallway, and bathrooms?

Benn: yeah? They painted patterns there too.

Weeks later

Shanks: Hey (y/n) I got you something! *Presents you with a colorful variety of house paints, and a bunch of supplies*

You: ... Wow, that's a lot of paint, are you wanting me to repaint every room on the ship?

Shanks: no silly, for you to have fun with. We noticed the patterns you painted in the galley and thought you might like more colors.

You: but where would I paint?

Shanks: where ever you'd like.

You: *Kisses him on the cheek, scoops up the supplies, and runs to your room*, Thank you!

Two days later in the galley

You: I finished my room is it okay if I paint this wall now?

Shanks: Go for it.

Benn: *watches you run off* they painted their whole room you know.

Shanks: I saw, I was impressed they managed to paint such steady line work with the ship moving so much.

Benn: I think the little maze design the pained on their door frame was my favorite. Do you think they take requests?

Shanks: I dunno.

You: *pushes the box of supplies onto one of the tables*

Benn: is it okay if I asked you to paint something?

You: sure!

Yassop: Wait, you take requests! I want the pillar in my room painted.

The crew: *crowd around you listing off the things they want painted*

Shanks: Guys, let em breathe for fuck's sake! Make a list so they can start painting.

Lucky Roux: I ain't writing down my request because it's simple, don't paint any more realistic bug on the damn walls. I nearly shit myself when I saw the cockroach you painted in the bathroom, that was not a fun surprise at three in the morning.

You: only termite holes, got it.

Lucky Roux: (y/n) no! No termite holes.

You: fine fine, although the fact that the paint on that cockroach didn't even get to dry before one of y'all smacked it, is hilarious.

Shanks: no more realistic bugs, dear, in fact avoid painting realistic critters all together please.

You: ugh fine.

Shanks: I have a project I'd like you to paint, but I'll need to get you a canvas for it. *Winks at you and wiggles his eyebrows*

Benn: Gross.... if he's getting a nude I want one too.

Shanks: You want my nudes too?

Benn: I want a nude of myself, ding-dong.

[raisin-writes]

Asking to paint their nails- Donquixote family:

sfw, no warnings, just for sillies :) read as platonic but can also be read as romantic (minus sugar- i dont care that shes 22- and dellinger, dont be a weirdo).

Doflamingo:

He prefers to call in a nail tech and have a little mani-pedi spa day with you instead.

It's nothing personal, he appreciates the thought, but if hes gonna get his nails done, he wants it to be professional.

Wants you to match with him more often than not and gets a little mad when you refuse to, but wont hold it against you for very long.

A classic french tip girlie but may mix it up with a nice pink or a light glitter overlay from time to time.

Trebol:

He'll allow it, but god does he make it an insufferable experience.

He loves messing with you by intentionally making his hand twitch/flinch/shake.

"Bweheheheh! oops, guess you gotta start over now!"

He'll finally stop when you threaten inform him that you only have so much nail polish remover left and he'll end up with messy, ugly, clumpy nails that you wont be able to fix.

He's fine with whatever you give him, just dont make it look stupid.

Diamante:

Absolutely!

He's tickled that you would want to spend time with him like that.

Requests things like flashy white or gold stars, sparkly reds, or a nice baby blue to match his eyes.

A little bit of a stickler about your technique, but he wont be too hard on you if you mess up.

It's just nail polish after all.

Surprisingly will want to paint yours in return to match his.

His technique is ironically not that great.

Pica:

...... Reluctantly agrees.

He's silent as he watches you work, but his gaze is very intimidating and scrutinous.

Kind of a mouth breather, dont comment on it or he'll get mad at you.

If you ask him very nicely, he'll let you experiment on his toe nails, painting them however you want.

He's satisfied with a simple matte dark purple, but his favorite is a metallic gold- not the regular nail polish, but the holographic powder, he likes the shiny chrome finish.

Vergo:

Some days he'll say yes, sometimes its just not a good time.

He's a busy guy, he doesnt have all the time in the world to sit down and let you fiddle with his nails.

Sometimes he just doesnt want his nails painted and thats that.

On the off chance he agrees, he prefers a simple solid black or a plain white.

Giolla:

Yes, but she's such a karen about it.

So passive-aggressive and indecisive.

Makes you never want to paint her nails again.

Likes loud, contrasting colors and sometimes fun stencil patterns.

She usually compliments your work after its over, but will sometimes make a back-handed comment if she isn't completely satisfied with the results.

Lao G:

Surprisingly agrees to it.

However, shaky hands make for many mistakes.

Dont bother putting a top coat on.

regardless of the outcome, he'll give you a thumbs up and a "GREAT WITH A CAPITAL G!"

Gladius:

Bully him into it a little and he'll cave.

He's used to this, having been the test subject for a younger Baby 5 when she first got into nails.

At least you seem to know what you're doing, comparatively.

Prefers plain black but can be swayed into dark colored marbling with gold flecks.

Machvise:

Another test subject for young Baby 5's nail journey, and Dellinger's.

He thinks it's funny to walk around with bright, obnoxious nails, but really could care less what you give him.

He actually kinda liked the time you gave him pizza slice nails.

Draws the line at press-on nails.

Sugar:

Allows it, but will very bluntly tell you you're doing it wrong.

The best compliment you will get from her is, "its not the worst."

She likes when you put cute stickers and stencils on a pretty pastel blue color.

Señor Pink:

Needs to be lead to believe it was his idea, otherwise the answer is no.

Watches intently, doesnt speak much.

Sucks his pacifier suddenly from time to time and the sound in the otherwise silent room makes you flinch.

He doesnt have any preferences, but appreciates when you make the color match his bonnet.

Might make you do his toe nails too so they match.

Viola:

Of course!

Her favorite is a dark mauve with white hand-painted flowers on the thumbs and/or ring fingers.

Dont worry if you cant paint the flowers correctly, she still appreciates it all the same.

She'll ask to paint yours in return.

Dellinger:

Slay 💅✨

You can use his nail polish.

Teases you if you mess up but genuinely starts to get annoyed if you make too many mistakes.

Likes cat-eye and holographic effects; don't worry, hes got the magnets and powders for it.

If he's feeling generous, he'll return the favor, but he might give you what he thinks would look good instead of what you want.

Buffalo:

Nuh-uh, no way.

......... Unless?

Easy to bribe into getting his nails painted.

Lets you paint them however you want, as long as you fullfill your end of the deal.

Baby 5:

Yes!!!

She loves getting her nails painted.

She'll even paint yours, however you want them!

She likes lace tips, but can easily be swayed if you think something else would look better on her.

(Please be kind to her; if you really must, meet her in the middle so she still gets what she wants.)

Bonus:

Bellamy:

Beg him over the course of a week and he'll eventually cave, but only his toe nails where nobody will see them.

Prefers plain black or navy blue colors.

Is very fidgety and uncomfortable the entire time.

(ironically, he doesnt like people touching his feet (he's ticklish))

Groans and complains, asking every 5 minutes if you're done yet.

Such a big baby.

Corazon:

Yes!!!

He's giddy at the thought, he would love for you to paint his nails.

Really, he just likes the quality time he gets to spend with you.

His favorite is a dark plum color with soft pink heart stencils.

He'll offer to paint yours in return, but knowing him, he'll just end up spilling a bottle or two.

Or three.

[amiserableseriesofevents]

when they figure out they do laundry veryy differently (like whether or not they separate colors/whites, how they fold, how often laundry is done, etc.) 🥰🥰

The end of a lazy afternoon finds John sprawled on the couch with Meatball next to him, snoring quietly as John plays some Legend of Zelda on the tv.

They're waiting for Buck to come home from a shift at West Anglia and John personally hopes he'll arrive with some news about the latest endeavors of Marge and Rosie, aka the Most Unlikely Duo as John and Benny call them. Buck isn't usually one for gossip, especially when Marge is involved, but the constant push-pull of the couple is too much even for him.

When the door of the apartment – their apartment, John reminds himself with a proud grin – opens Meatball immediately runs to Buck and John pauses the game, waiting on the couch. “Welcome back doll, how's it going?” He shoots loud towards the entryway.

Buck steps into the living room with Meatball at his heels, cheeks reddened and hair askew from the bike ride home. “S'doing well, better now here at home. Did you guys have fun? Went for a you know what?” He asks, leaning over the back of the couch to kiss John on the lips.

“Yeah, we did go to the park and shared a sandwich,” John answers, stealing another kiss. “And then we cleaned the bedroom, prepped dinner, and folded the laundry that was in the dryer.”

“That's good, I think it's just time for another round of washing. I'm gonna take a quick shower then I'll help you with the dinner, ok?”

“Sure love, take your time. Oh, any news about our favorite couple?” John teases. Buck rolls his eyes. “I'll tell you later,” he says, and with another kiss he's gone before John can complain. Sighing, he starts the game and plays for a few more minutes before Buck's voice gets to his ears.

“John, sweetheart, can you come here a moment?”

And John's blood immediately turns to ice because if there's a thing he's learnt in this past year and a half he's spent with Buck it's that when he uses pet names like this, he's just about to murder him in cold blood.

“Yeah sure doll, I'm coming!” John shouts back and goes to their bedroom, feigning nonchalance. Buck's standing next to their bed – neatly made with the space-patterned sheets Marge has gifted them for their new home – and is staring at the piles of laundry John has folded earlier.

“Yes, doll?”

“Care to explain what is this?” Buck asks pointing at the laundry.

“It's the laundry I took from the dryer and folded.”

“And why, pray tell, did you fold it like that?”

Puzzled, John looks at the folded towels. “What do you mean like that? How else was I supposed to fold them? That's the body towels pile, that's the hand towels pile, that's...”

“Are you serious? You're telling me you did that on purpose?”

With a sigh John turns to Buck. “Buck, my love, I'm gonna need you to be more clear because I understand you're pissed but I have no idea why,” he tells him – hell yeah, he's been working really hard on his communication issues.

“You're supposed to fold them by sets! The blue body towel with the blue hand towel, the green body towel with the green hand towel, and so on!” Buck exclaims, so astonished he doesn't even sound angry anymore.

“But that doesn't make sense. What if you only need the body towel?”

“It's a set! You're supposed to use them together, why would you only need one?! Who raised you, John Clarence Egan?!”

John gasps, outraged. “Hey now, there's no need for middle names! And I'll let you know, my mother didn't care about how the laundry was folded: however it would fit into the closet was just about right.”

Buck looks at him in suspicion. “You never folded your stuff once in your whole life, did you?” He asks.

“Well, not when my mom could complain about it. But the guys...”

“Oh shut up about the guys, I've seen how they keep their changing rooms and I am actually afraid to learn how they fold their laundry,” Buck cuts him off with a shudder. Then he exhales, and relaxes his shoulders just a bit. “Next time could you please fold them by sets? I promise it's more practical.”

“I'll try and remember that. I'm sorry, I had no idea you had such strong opinions on laudry,” John says, tugging Buck closer to place a kiss on his head.

“I have strong opinions on things that matter,” the other grumbles. “I'm going to load the washing machine now, do you have more whites to put in?”

“Yeah, there's your white shirt in the bathroom, I put the stain remover on that coffee stain on the wrist earlier and it should be ready to wash now.”

It's Buck's turn to look puzzled. “The what?”

“The stain remover? The one that's specific for coffee stains?”

A beat. “We don't have that.”

“Yes we do? In the cupboard? Along with one specific for wine stains and one for makeup?”

Buck still looks at him like he's grown a third eye. “Now you're just fucking with me,” he says but he sounds uncertain.

John raises his eyebrows at him. “Gale Winston Cleven,” he spells out, and smirks at Buck's consequential eye roll. “Are you telling me you don't use stain removers when you do your laundry?”

“Of course I do, but a generic one! Why on earth would I need a specific one for every kind of stain?”

“Well in case you didn't notice, all the coffee stains on your shirts have been disappearing much faster lately. And the wine I spilled on your trousers at the restaurant? Yeah that's gone too. Because I put the specific stain remover on it,” John explains.

“I'm still not convinced that we actually need that kind of stuff,” Buck says.

“Trust me, you'll see it the next time I leave makeup stains on your collar after a show,” John shoots back with a wink. Buck seems like he's pondering it for a minute, then he slowly nods. “That did go away pretty fast the last time, you're right. Wait, you're telling me you've been using your fancy stain removers on my stuff? Why?”

“Well I cannot possibly let you go around with coffee stains on all your white shirts; who would take you seriously then, Professor Cleven?”

Buck smirks at that, the nickname always hitting him just right. “I'd say from now on, you do the washing and I do the folding? So everyone's happy?” He suggests.

“Deal,” John says pulling him closer again for another kiss. “I like how we're managing this, moving in together and dividing the responsibilities. It makes us sound like two healthy adults, don't you think?”

Buck can't hide a smile against John's lips. “I love it too, coming home and finding you here, you taking care of my laundry, helping you cook dinner... maybe we actually are two healthy adults.”

“Mh, don't count on it,” is John's response, and Buck laughs at it and extricates himself from the hug, finally walking to the bathroom. “I'll leave the washing to you then!” He says closing the door behind him.

“Sure doll! I can't wait to wash all your white shirts with one of my red socks and see what happens. I bet you'd look good in pink!” John says.

The bathroom door reopens in an instant, angry blue eyes shining through the crack. “Don't you dare.”

How do Little Ford and Stan handle bathtime? Do they have a favorite type of bath toy? I can personally see Little Stan loving plastic dinosaur figurines, and maybe Ford having one of those Crayola chemistry bath sets! I can also see them having their own towel with a hoodie!

I did briefly write something small about Stan and bathtime a couple of months ago, and this gave me the opportunity to expand on that! Thank you so much for your ask! And sorry it took so long to get to it, I hope you're still here.

I hope you like the head canons I created, that your vision was met. Please let me know!

I'm always open to helpful advice or to just chat!

Happy Holidays if you're the celebrating type!

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

-Little Stan loves bathtime! You wouldn't think it, he hated bathing as a kid, but now that he gets unlimited bath time? With actual hot water? Ford has a hard time getting him out of the bath

-Stan likes his baths scalding hot. It soothes the aches of his joints and old scars and he gets cold easily and will shiver when the water goes lukewarm, so scalding hot water will make it so baths last longer and are all around more pleasant for both Stan and Ford

-Ford has to convince Stan that Poindexter will be safe sitting and keeping watch on the sink, that he can't be in the water with Stan because the he could get sick. The thought of his friend getting sick is what does it for Stan (though somewhere in his grown up mind, he knows it's because Poindexter is an old plush, so no matter how well maintained he is, he shouldn't be getting wet), compromising and letting him keep watch from the toilet, where he can see Stan better

-He has so many rubber duckies, and they're the kind with cool and novelty designs. Pirates, whales, mermaids, some that are just straight up fish shaped instead of patterned like a costume. He plays make believe with them while Ford's washes his hair, just making sound effects to their adventures

-I like your thought on dinosaur toys. Ford got him specific dinosaurs sets, one for bath time and the other for daily play. The daily play is just an assortment of all different kids of dinos from different periods; land, sea, air, bugs, just so many types of dinosaurs. His bathtime set is only marine dinosaurs; some are bought from online and some Ford made himself, those being the more obscure species that he's studied

-I mentioned this before, but Stan has a toy boat with a rudder that will paddle through the water when wound up. He deemed it the "S.S. Stan" and named Ford as his first mate. He loves splashing it through the water and getting Ford's sleeves wet, sometimes spraying him with the little cannon on the ship, giggling and looking away when Ford gives him that look

-The first time he accidentally splashed Ford, early on in Ford caring for him, he got upset and started apologizing with little murmured "sorry's", hoping he didn't upset Ford or ruin his sweater. Ford, of course, wasn't mad at all, and stuck his sweater clad arms all the way down in the water to prove so, showing Stan that it's okay to have fun and splash in the bath

-Ford learned very quickly that he shouldn't wear sweaters during his brother's bath time

-Stan has some of those crayons that can color on bath tub walls and come off easily with water. He'll draw his boat and his dinosaurs and the dinosaurs attacking his boat. He splashes at Ford to get him to see his pretty pictures on the wall

-The only way Ford can get Stan out of the bath is to let the water go cold so he doesn't want to stay in. When that happens, Ford is quick to wrap Stan in his special towel, drying him off before slipping the hood, adorned with lamb ears, over his head and drying off his hair. Ford ignores Stan's pouting about the lamb ears, he's just too cute!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-As a kid, Ford used to love bathtime, it was his time away from the world around him. As an old man with the last 30 years having to go without being clean for weeks and taking short only 5-10 minute scrub downs? Stan has to basically bribe him to bathe when he's little

-Stan gets Ford multitudes of bath chemistry sets, from bathbombs to a water lab that isn't necessarily for the bath, but will work anyways. Anything so Stan can wash his stinky brother

-Like Stan, Ford has to have scalding hot water, it helps soothe the aches of his old body and helps him remember that he's home and with his Buddy, not in some scary dimension all alone. He's safe and warm and he's with his brother

-Ford will leave Dr. Mittens outside the door, terrified of getting his handmade plushy wet and having it fall apart. Stan has to reassure him throughout bathtime that Dr. Mittens is dry and okay and right outside the door, which is cracked open so the plush toy can peak inside

-Beyond all the science kits Ford has for bath time, he also has some aquatic animal replicas and he'll reenact the animals hunting rituals with them, pretend to hunt them himself, and tell Stan every detail he knows about each one. In that order. Every bathtime. And Stan is more than happy to sit there and listen to Ford talk, not only is he genuinely interested in hearing his thoughts, but it also distracts Ford enough for Stan to get him clean

-Unlike Stan, Ford will let him know he's finished bathing simply by stopping what he's doing and saying "I'm done now" and attempting to stand and get up

-Sometimes, Ford will most decidedly not be done, shampoo still in his hair. So when that happens, Stan will have to get Ford talking about something, the chemicals in his soap, the anatomical structure of Beluga Whale, anything so he can finish bathing Ford

-Ford has a towel with cat hears on the hood, matching Dr. Mittens, that he'll only wear after he's completely dried off. He wants to match with Dr. Mittens, but he can't get him wet, so Ford'll wear the hooded towel after Stan towel dries him and his hair, so he just sits in that hooded towel and relaxes after his bath

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶 (Wish Reimagined)

Chapter 12: Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Doom 🔮✨🌟

Chapter 11

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Time for us to check on our villains! Just for a bit, I promise. 😅 (This moment is actually going around the same time as Chapter 11, and it'll lead back to our newly formed team)

We see Amaya in a black cloak standing in front of her potions cabinet as she adds a few ingredients to a drinking glass filled with colored liquid. "To make me look younger, a drop of spring water. To retain my royal attire, a peacock's feather. To strengthen my voice, a child's laughter. To restore my hair, a sundrop petal. And....a dash of nutmeg for flavor."

As she added the last ingredient, the liquid bubbled up and turned into the color of red wine. The liquid settled and we see Amaya's face in the reflection of the glass, looking much older than she did in previous chapters.

She carefully drinks the entire glass, and her appearance returns to normal. The black cloak vanished and her royal garments reappeared.

Amaya heard a growl and looked down, seeing Sabor raise an eyebrow as he questioned why she would need a simple kitchen ingredient.

"Don't give me that look, dear. These spells are powerful, but they taste dreadful. A little spice never hurt anyone." She walked over to a nearby mirror, admiring her return to her former beauty. "Besides, I may not be able to transform into different beings like the star, but I can keep my 'natural' beauty intact."

Sabor took a moment to admire his own silky fur before straightening up. He heard laughing coming from the wishing room. "Meow?"

"Oh, that's just Magnifico playing with his balls...Somedays I think he's a bit too obsessed with those wish balls. I better check up on him, he's had quite the night." Amaya stepped away from the mirror and proceeded to the wishing room, with Sabor trailing behind her.

Amaya opens the heavy door and sees the king now humming "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" as he exaggerated his arm movements like a conductor. The wishes are moving in several different line patterns all around him.

Magnifico pauses once he sees his wife. "Ah, darling! I'm so glad you're here!" He had a wide, almost sinister looking grin.

Amaya noticed his unusually happy tone. "You in quite the good mood this morning, mi rey." She looked and saw the massive amounts of wishes surrounding the two of them.

Sabor cautiously stepped further into the room. Seeing the wish orbs fly around the place made him nervous, since one wrong move could accidentally destroy a wish. And he did not want to make Magnifico that angry...

The lynx narrowly dodged a few orbs that whizzed by due to the man's gleeful use of magic on them. Another one came flying and he quickly batted it away. Sabor smiled in satisfaction.

Then another orb came from seemingly nowhere and knocked the feline across the room, making him yowl in pain. (He'll be fine)

"I was almost too excited to sleep!" Magnifico stopped with his make believe orchestra and grabbed Amaya's hands. "We've gotten so much closer to our goal in these last few days, then we ever have in the past few decades. Tonight we'll have the traitors, Tomás' daughter and the star all in one place! And best of all, the entire kingdom will witness our full power!"

The two of them started to dance lightly as the wish orbs surrounded them. "Believe me, I'm just as happy as you, but don't you think it's a little early to be celebrating?" Amaya questioned despite her fun.

Magnifico stopped at those words. He was so excited to finally get the traitors that alluded him all these years, he nearly forgot the most important one to capture: Asha.

"As usual, you're right. Everything could fall apart if Asha and the star get involved before the ceremony."

He looked up at the many wishes the two had collected, and with the addition of the Hamlet residents wishes, it was beginning to look a bit crowded up there. It was a lot of peoples dreams up there just doing nothing.

"Perhaps we need to prepare ourselves with a little snack?" He pulled down three wishes from above and held them in his hands. "Besides, we do need to make some room now that the traitors wishes are up here. Let's say we get rid of a few non-important ones?" He asked playfully.

Amaya shook her head. "Now, now. Don't get impatient. We can't risk anything by destroying any wishes. People might start getting suspicious of missing newcomers, and I don't want to waste more magic on wiping people's memories."

Magnifico was silent for a moment then smirked as he grabbed a familiar wish. "How about just this one?"

"For the last time, you can't take my mother's wish!" she scolded him.

The king needed a laugh. "I'm just kidding, dear! Mostly." He threw the orb back up with the others.

He took another look up and noticed something was off. "Is there a wish missing?"

"You can't be serious, there's over a thousand wishes in here. How could you possibly-"

"No....there is one missing. I can feel it." The king reaffirmed as he slowly raised his hand upwards and called down a couple wishes to him.

The problem was, only one came down; Sakina's. Her wish was the become the best seamstress in Rosas, a wish that was never intended to be granted.

"Where's the old man's wish?" Magnifico growled.

Amaya looked up and realized the man was right. Both of them keep track of their wishes everyday. It was the one job even Flazino wasn't allowed to do. "You mean her grandfather's wish?"

"I always keep those two wishes together, I don't know what happened to...." The king's eyes widened in horror.

He remembered when that pest of a shapeshifter was mocking him yesterday, the star must've been a distraction in order for Asha to get to the wishes.

THOSE BRATS KEEP GETTING IN HIS WAY.

He was tempted to crush Sakina's wish in retaliation, slightly gripping the orb in his hand, but one stern look from his wife told him that it wasn't a good idea.

Magnifico forcibly threw the orb back with the others. He wasn't even trying to hide his anger anymore. If Asha managed to get one wish, how long before she and the star got the rest?

He stomped out of the wishing room, his good mood now dissipated.

Sabor slowly stumbled across the room as he followed Amaya. It was one of his rare moments when he didn't look regal. She looked down, noticed his disoriented appearance and picked him up.

The lynx purred as he relaxed in her arms.

Magnifico rubbed his forehead as he walked back to his study. "We need to find Asha immediately. Everything hinges on her trading the star in for her family and we can't even find her to make the deal. Tonight is the most crucial night of our lives and I refuse to let some peasant girl ruin it!"

"Oh, there's no need to worry about that." Amaya chirped as she stroked Sabor's soft fur. "While you were dealing with the Hamlet, I took it upon myself to ask for a little...personal help in finding Asha quickly. And in return, I told them that their entire family's wishes will be granted by you."

Magnifico was suddenly intrigued. "And who might that be? We don't exactly have colleagues here."

"Someone in Rosas whom we can make work to our advantage, and they're more than happy to help our beloved kingdom." Amaya chuckled deviously.

Aaaaaaaaand now we gotta go back to our heroes, and they're having a really hard time taking in everything. 😅

All seven of them started talking at the same time. Gabo and Simon tried to calm the others down, but it was a mixture of panic, excitement and confusion.

Star looked embarrassed as he floated down to Asha. "I freaked them out, didn't I?"

"Ya think?" Asha snapped at him.

"Sorry. I did try to lay low, but the animals were freaking out and I tried to calm them down, then that sneezy guy came in and freaked out and then I freaked out!" The star felt terrible about this. He didn't want to be the reason everything fell apart.

"...You're not angry with me, are you?" Star had the most worrisome eyes.

Asha took a deep breath. "No, I could never be mad at you. We just...need to get them to understand our problem here. It would help if we had more than just two people on our side, but I don't-."

"WHY IS THERE A COW ON THE CEILING?!" Safi screamed as he pointed up to a large cow chewing cud.

"Helllooooooooo!" she mooed.

Asha looked at Star with a stern face. "You need to fix this. Now." Her voice was low and serious.

Star didn't argue. "Got it." In a flash he flew up and tried to pull the cow back to the floor.

Dahlia frantically adjusted her glasses as she got a better look at the star. "Wait, isn't that Cosmo? You never mentioned he had magic!"

Gabo looked at Dahlia confused. "Cosmo? I thought he was just called Star."

Dario scratched his head. "Well, that's not a very creative name. A star called 'Star'?"

Asha had to cut this banter short. She was getting annoyed with most of them already. On top of that, they just insulted her indirectly.

"God, you people are loud...Valentino, shut the door before anyone hears this." Asha gestured to the opening.

Valentino nodded and trotted over to the door, closing it shut with his little hooves. Meanwhile, Star had finally gotten the animals to calm down and was attempting to take away their speaking magic spell. The chickens were protesting against this, though.

"Alright, I'll make this quick. The royals are evil, they're keeping our wishes hostage for power, and we're working together to stop them from destroying more lives." Asha's went through entire thing like ripping off a band aid. "We need your help, Dahlia-"

"And I'd like to add that I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THOSE TWO BEING EVIL THE ENTIRE TIME! You guys owe me an apology." Gabo chimed in with a smug look.

"YOU'RE WHAT NOW?!" Dahlia exclaimed at Asha's "confession".

In the background, Star had finally calmed the animals down and took away their ability to speak. That didn't stop the chickens from running around, with a few of them flying over the teen's heads thanks to the star's magic.

Dario laughed. "This is awesome! Can Star make me fly too?"

Star grabbed one of the frantic chickens in his hands. "I dunno. I never tried it on a human before. But you can be the first one!"

Safi wanted to be happy that his feathered friends could finally fly, but his allergies acting up warned him that this could be trouble. "AAAACHOO!" He sniffed and wiped his nose with his sleeve. "This is bad, like really bad. Am I the only one who realizes this is gonna end very badly?" He groaned.

Hal scoffed. "Oh come on, Saf. I mean, sure we got a giant glowing guy floating here that can make animals sing and dance."

Safi waited for her to tell the actual good news. "Yes, and?"

"That's... all I got right now, I'm just trying not to have a mental breakdown here." Hal laughed nervously. For the first time her constant upbeat personality was beginning to strain.

"Join the club, I thought I was going insane too." Simon grumbled.

Star noticed that the teens were feeling a bit uncomfortable. His smile started to falter a bit hearing they were freaked out by his presence. He didn't know he'd have that effect on humans too...

"Will you all stop and listen to me? The fate of everyone's lives is at stake and like it or not, I need your help keeping him a secret."

"Th-This is objectively impossible." Dahlia stuttered trying to keep her grip on her crutch. "First you're getting these crazy conspiracy stories from Gabo,"

"Which are all true." Gabo added smugly. Dahlia shot him a look, but it didn't last.

"And now you brought another guy with magic powers–which I remind you is forbidden for anyone else to use magic other than our rulers–to come here here to steal from the King and Queen? How did you even get him here in the first place?"

"She wished for a magical boyfriend to help her take down the monarchy." Gabo once again cut in.

"Would you stop telling people that!" Asha snapped while Star started to glow very brightly.

"That's the one thing that makes sense, actually." Simon chuckled lightly.

"How romantic!" Bazeema's eyes lit up at the mention of a romance. "It's like a fairy tale!"

Gabo scoffed at the shy girl. "Oh, so now you can speak? At least say something important!"

"Don't talk to her like that!" Safi stepped in front of Gabo, ready to defend the girl. It was a rare sight to see the teen actually raise his voice.

"Hey, I got a song that could clear things up!" Star chimed in as he started to float in the air!

Dahlia waved her hand. "Please don't, I can't stand singing."

"Wait a minute. You wished on a star, and the star came down....looking like this, right?" Hal gestured to the star's human appearance.

"Yes, finally you're getting it. I know it sounds strange, but its all true. I couldn't have gotten this far without him."

"A follow up question...So if I wish on a star-"

"No." Asha immediately shot that question down in flames.

Hal sensed she hit a nerve. "All right, all right, just curious..." she avoided eye contact with her for a while.

"Look, I need you guys to focus here. The fate of Rosas-"

"Hey, can Star turn into a platypus?" Dario was too excited to even listen about the danger. "I mean, I get if its too hard. I got friends who can do some pretty impressive tricks that would blow your mind." He waa clearly baiting the star to transform for fun.

"Oooooh, is that so?" Star teased, raising an eyebrow.

Asha knew what was coming. "Star, don't-"

"Can your friends do this?" In a flash, he turned into a small yellow platypus on its hind legs. He looked down himself, a bit underwhelmed. "Yeah, I don't know how to work with this one. I mean, its a platypus. They don't do much."

(Thanks to an anonymous ask for suggesting this transformation bit!)

"However!" Star changed into a series of animals both large and small each with a bright flash. once he finished, he turned back to his humanoid form. "Can your friends do that? Bet you ain't never had a friend like me!" He said with a wink.

It suddenly clicked in Dahlia's mind. "That giant elephant was you?!"

"That's so neat! You're like a Fairy Godmother!" Dario exclaimed in genuine joy.

Gabo looked at Dario with the most confused expression imaginable. "....what fairytales are you reading, man?"

The good time was interrupted by a hard knock on the door, getting everyone's attention.

"What's going on in there?" A deep voice boomed on the other side.

Valentino panicked and hid underneath a large pile of hay.

Asha and the star looked at each other. Asha didn't even have to tell Star what to do this time. He turned back into a mouse and hid with Valentino.

"Look, I...we're begging you. You can't tell anyone about us. If that guard finds us, all this will be for nothing." Asha pleaded with them, looking desperate.

Gabo's usual grumpy expression slightly soften seeing their worried faces. He sighed, "Fine. I'll take care of this." the teen pulled out his dagger and marched towards the door.

"GABO NO—" Asha whispered in a panic.

Simon grabbed Gabo by the collar and pulled him away from the door. "Don't even try it, buddy." Simon muttered.

Gabo scowled and folded his arms.

On the other side of the door, the guard was getting more impatient. "That's it, I'm coming in right now!" He put his hand on the door, only to be stopped by Dahlia with a nervous smile on her face as she poked her head outside the doorway.

"No need for that! Sorry about all that noise in there. The animals got spooked a mouse that sneaked in, but everything's settled down now." She did her best to sound calm as she pushed the guard away from the door.

The guard wasn't fully convinced. "Why did it sound like there was someone else in there?"

"AAAACHOO!!" a loud, sort of forced sneeze erupted from behind the door.

"Oh, that's just Safi getting the eggs I needed for the feast tonight!" Dahlia blurted out, then she knocked on the door. "You got those eggs, right Safi?" she raised her voice in a manner to signal the sneezing teen.

On cue, Safi came out with a basket of eggs. "Yep! Nothing out of the ordinary here! Definitely no need to look in there cause all the animals are totally normal! Hehehe..." He wasn't really a good actor. 😅

After a few tense moments the guard finally bought it. "Fine. Just keep your eyes peeled. We can't have anything or anyone disrupting the ceremony tonight."

And with that he walked away and left the two nervous teens alone.

Dahlia breathed a sigh of relief once he was out of sight. "He's gone, guys." she called to the others.

Valentino was the first to peak out, until Simon forcibly pushed the door open. "That was too close." He muttered. "I'll go check to see if there are any more guards."

"So you really think that the royals are using us? Cause I've never actually seen them hurt anyone." Dario asked Asha as the teens left the chicken coop.

"I know it. Star and I faced each of them once and we barely made it out alive. I did manage to get my saba's wish, but I want to restore everyone's."

"Then why do you need Flazino?"

"Cause he's the only one who can get us there safely at this point. All of these guards roaming around, we can't even zip by with Star's speed. Only problem is that he's in the dungeon and I have no idea where it is or how to get there."

"Since when did we get a dungeon? There's no crime here!" Hal questioned.

Dahlia still wasn't convinced, but she tried to rationalize this. "You're really here to steal from them? And you can't just ask Magnifico for them back? I think either of them would understand..."

"Dahlia, what would you do if you found out...the wishes of those you love with all your heart...will never be granted?" Asha asked seriously.

None of the teens had an answer. Most of them haven't even turned 18 yet in order to give the royals their wishes. (Except Gabo, he's never doing it.)

Safi finally spoke up. "I better not regret this. Or I'll turn you in myself for animal endangerment!" He sniffed.

Asha actually felt relief. At least she had more people on her side for a while. Star gave her an encouraging thumbs up.

"Star can free the wishes, but we need to get him to the top without being seen. If it works, we can free the wishes tonight."

"TONIGHT?!" Dahlia exclaimed. She had no idea this was going to happen at the same time as the ceremony.

"Of course, before the royals can take 100 wishes tonight. I just don't know where he's going to get them all. Not to mention he's after Star's magic too."

Dahlia wanted to argue or try to convince Asha to change her mind, but she held back. She never thought reuniting with her childhood friend would turn into a plot to overthrow a kingdom.

Simon came back from checking outside. "All right, the coast is clear. Let's get going."

"I can't believe what I'm getting into..." Dahlia grumbled as she followed Simon. If it wasn't for searching for Flazino and proving he was okay, this wouldn't be joining in this.

The dopey teen wanted to lighten things up with some introductions. "By the way, I'm Dario!"

Star greeted him with a hug. "Nice to meet a new friend!" He exclaimed.

"Ah-hyuck, love this guy!" Dario cheered as he hugged the star back.

"'Friend' is kind of pushing it..." Asha muttered.

"Hey, I want some that!" Hal laughed. "I'm Hal!" She spread her arms wide.

"Bazeema...and that's Safi." the shy girl whispered as she pointed to the boy behind her.

Star scooped up both girls in his arms as he hugged them. Hal was glad to have someone else be the cheerful one other than herself, while Bazeema slowly warmed up to his embrace.

Safi looked nervous even looking at Star. He slowly raised his hand for a handshake, but the star went for his usual friendly hug greeting.

"AAAACHOOO!" Safi sneezed right into the star's face. Luckily his eyes were closed.

"Don't tell me you're allergic to stardust..." Asha lightly joked.

"I'm so sorry..." Safi replied sheepishly.

It didn't seem to bother the star as he wiped his face with his sleeve. "No worries! Stars don't get sick, I think. Although I did go through a 'new moon' phase for a month once. I freaked my mom out with how emotional I got all the time."

"If you get this guy sick, I swear you'll be the first one to get thrown in the dungeon!" Gabo pointed his dagger at Safi's big nose.

Safi got a bit scared and hid behind Bazeema.

Hal stepped in and gently pushed the two towards the entrance. "Come on, you two. Let's get going before Gabo stabs somebody. Guy's got bite to him, I'll give him that!" She joked.

Just as Gabo put his dagger away, he could feel something rubbing against his leg. He looked down and saw Valentino looking up at him with big eyes.

"You really want to come with me, little guy?" Gabo asked.

"Maaah!" Valentino nodded happily.

Gabo picked up the goat in his arms, making Valentino gently purr. The grumpy teen would never admit it out loud, but it was nice that an animal was happy with him for once.

Bazeema was slightly jealous he got to carry Valentino, but the little goat was happy and that's what mattered more to her.

"So, you sure you two can save everyone's wishes tonight? I mean, this is all starting to get pretty crowded." Gabo couldn't believe he was saying this. And he's been dreaming of overthrowing the monarchy for years!

"We can and we will." Asha replied. "Tonight, everything changes. I promise that."

Gabo couldn't help but think of Asha's words sounding like something from a storybook. "Whatever you say, princess."

"Hey, I'm not a princess!" She kind of assumed he was teasing her again.

"If you wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you're a princess, sister!" He snickered as he walked off.

Asha sighed. He could really be annoying sometimes.

Star noticed her stressing a bit and gently put his arm around her shoulder. This caught her by surprise as she turned and saw the star was very close to her face.

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, you've always been a princess to me." He gave her a wink before turning into his mouse form and climbing back under her hood.

For a moment, Asha could feel her chest tighten when he said that. She's been focused on almost nothing but freeing the wishes and helping her family be free. Recently though, half her thoughts had been on Star without even trying.

She had never really been interested in romance for herself (unlike her saba), but now part of her thought what would happen to him after this whole adventure was over. Asha had originally wanted to write him off as a weird dream back in the forest, and now it was getting harder to see herself without him.

Asha's heart picked the worst possible time to start developing feelings...

Once they were outside and into the heart of the city, Dario turned and faced the group.

"Hey, we need a secret code to signal each other. You know, in case we get lost or something." He rubbed his hand on his chin for a moment, then his eyes brightened. "How about, 🎶Heigh Ho!🎶

All the teens looked at him as if he had two heads.

Gabo rolled his eyes. "That will never catch on, mark my words." He replied in a dry tone as a passed the tall teen.

"Is it that bad?" Dario questioned as he followed the rest of the group.

Asha just shook her head. These guys were a handful, especially when you put them all together. But strangely, she didn't mind being a part of a group for once. At least she had more people to talk to.

Hal grabbed Asha's arm and pulled her more towards outside. "Come on, while we look for a way to this 'dungeon' we apparently have, allow me to show you the good parts of Rosas!" she winked.

"...There are good parts?" Asha questioned. She seriously doubted that.

The group finally headed outside, but first they had to make their way through this sea of people that were out and about.

Dahlia looked up at the king and queen's statues, which now had a large purple purple banner hanging over it. The words "100 Wish Celebration" were embroidered in gold.

The whole city was looking forward to this ceremony, and Magnifico and Amaya had worked hard to provide the people a safe and prosperous kingdom for everyone. This event is supposed to bring ease, but the young baker was more nervous than ever. Were the things Asha said about the royals true? Or was she being tricked?

"Dahlia!" Hal's voice brought her out of her thoughts. "You coming with us, right?" The others were already ahead of them, making sure Asha was surrounded enough to not be seen easily.

The girl hesitated, then nervously answered. "Sure...I'm coming."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

FINAL THOUGHTS

Happy New Year, everyone! As you can see, I'm still going strong writing this! I wanted to take a break to be with family, but I still loved seeing the "Wishmas" content!

So now that the whole team is together, the next step is to find Flazino and get his help for a spell to free the wishes. However, its not going to be easy now that the royals are practically breathing down their necks. And in the next couple chapters, the traitor will finally be revealed, and I'm really excited to show it soon. I've been holding this secret for nearly the entire time of writing this! As long as you don't hate me for the reveal. 😅 Until then, I hope you enjoy seeing the teens banter in here, I wanted it to still be comedic and mostly important. And now Asha can actually get to know the teens and develop a bond with them.

As for the royals themselves, I wanted them to be really on the heels of our heroes, but not ahead all the time. Most villains (if they have them) from Disney are usually these ridiculously omnipotent people that's always ahead of the heroes. They can't be tricked, they know all the secrets, they find the heroes easily, ect, ect. So for this rewrite, I wanted the king and queen to have some flaws despite all their power and cunning. Sometimes Magnifico is outsmarted (which he hates) and sometimes Amaya's tricks don't work. (which will come up in the next chapters) Even Sabor isn't perfect!

Also we're seeing more of Asha and Star getting closer. Mainly Asha's crush on Star is beginning to turn into something deeper, which is why she's getting a little flustered around him. Star does feel the same, he's just not fully aware of his own feelings yet. (That comes soon though!) I always see Starboys get a crush on Asha pretty quickly in other rewrites, but I rarely see it in reverse. So I thought it would be fun to see WG!Asha start having the crush first, and for such a simple but important reason to her.

There's going to be at least one more break from writing the story, I really want to get more extra stuff out (redesigns, Lore part 2, the teaser poster) and because I have no idea what to name the rest of the chapters. 😂 The only one I have is the final chapter, "A Wish Worth Making" for obvious reasons. But I promise I'll keep up with everyone else's rewrites too!

hi darling! i do see that you want requests in your inbox so im here to fullfil that want of yours :)

oh, btw i really do expect that you're well and, if you don't, please take care of yourself okay??

anyways, the request is for the arcana characters, more specifically for julian, asra and muriel (idk how much characters you accept for request but if you need to you can take one of these off) with a reader that does like art and try to make everything in their lifes a little bit more fun, colorful and artsy.

you can write in any format you're more comfortable in writing, but i think that maybe headcannons is easier. oh, and if you could do the reader gender neutral would be good!

oh and if you couldn't understand something, im sorry, english is not my first language. and if you want to, feel free to ignore this request.

AN: Thank you for the kind words!! I am doing well, busy but well :)) also you speak English amazingly!! Anyways here's your request <33 I haven't done Muriel's route yet so forgive me if anything is wrong :')

Headcannons: Julian, Asra and Muriel with an artistic S/O

—————————————————

Julian:

Honestly? He loves it!

It may not seem like it with the pirate outfit and rogue-ish lifestyle, but Julian is quite the colour lover himself. He just loves the energy and atmosphere vibrant colours bring.

So when you and him meet, and he finds out you're an even bigger lover of colours and an artist at that—the man was practically bursting with excitement.

Definitely gets you some art supplies. But since Julian has little to zero knowledge on being an artist, his art supplies aren't always the most helpful. Though you still appreciate him for trying to help with your hobby, even if his "paint" looks like it belongs in a potion brewing shop.

Practically demands to see some of your older art works and becomes sad if you say no. It's fine though if you don't let him, he'll find them eventually (his words, not yours).

Whenever you're painting or doing anything artsy, he's almost always by your side asking questions and just chatting with you. And as always you enjoy it when he's with you, it makes you feel warm inside knowing he's as passionate about watching you paint as you are about painting.

"Julian, I need you to-"

"I know, I know—you want me to stop staring at you. But I can't help it! You're just so beautiful when you're focused on something you're so passionate about!"

"...That's really sweet, but that's not what I was gonna ask. You're sitting on my paint pallette, could you maybe get off it?"

"WHAT—"

Asra:

You're an artist?? He's ENAMOURED already.

Asra adores everything you paint. He himself is a bit of an artist, but he doesn't paint as often as you since he's always busy with the Major Arcana amongst other things.

When he travels for long periods of time and comes back, he always brings you things like art supplies, trinkets or flowers, saying, "They reminded me of you." And he loves watching your eyes sparkle as you think of the different ways you can use the items.

After a long day, Asra just likes curling up besides you while you create your masterpieces. He'll bring you a warm drink and food too, before settling down on a blanket besides you.

If you ask, he'll give you some pointers or tell you what you could add to your work as you paint. He has an eye for detail.

"I think a few flowers would look really nice over here." He points to a certain part of the canvas.

"You always think flowers look nice in every painting," You playfully respond, and see him look away shyly. "What can I say? They really do!"

Asra could stare at your work for hours without feeling the need to look away. He just loves the mixture of colours and patterns you use. They remind him of the different realms and he finds that beautiful.

Sometimes you even use things from around his home for inspiration. It could be anything—his clothes, the intricate patterns on his curtains, sometimes even his tarot cards, and he won't say it aloud but it gives him a bit of a confidence boost. It's almost as if a piece of him is within your art work.

Muriel:

Muriel is a very... Dark and gloomy man in general.

The forest is his home, but not the pretty and flower-filled part, he makes his home in the shadowy, dark and somewhat dangerous parts of the forest.

So when you come into his life and bring all of this colour and vibrance, it throws him off. He doesn't know what to make of it. He feels to seen with all of it.

"What are you doing?" He approaches you as you hang a vine of flowers over the fireplace.

You look back and smile, "I thought it could use a little bit of... Decor..." You notice the way he frowns, even harder than usual as he stares at the decoration. "I'll take it ou-" "No. Leave it."

You're shocked, "Muriel, if you don't like it I can-" "I like it. It's pretty... Like you" He mutters the last part, so softly you almost don't hear him. Then he leaves. Quickly.

You smile to yourself.

After that you notice he spends more time with you as you decorate or make things, you even started asking him for his opinion on some things. He always responds with "Hm..." But you'll take what you can get.

Sometimes you take Inanna with you to hunt for things in the wild that you could use. Muriel was weary at first of letting you go with her, but Inanna seemed happy to go, so Muriel allowed it. After a while you even convinced him to come along on your art scouting journeys too. He comes in handy when you get carried away and find a little too many items that you need to take with you.

Oh and if anyone ever criticizes your art, no they didn't. In fact, almost as soon as they criticize it, they're on their knees worshipping you and the art itself. Why? Let's just say a big, terrifying man glaring down at you with eyes that say "I will rip your limbs apart and relish in every second of it" is not very fun.

hellooo can i request headcanon on chuuya, dazai, ranpo, atsushi and kunikida about if theyll let f reader paint their nails ??

Nail art session

Chuuya, Dazai, Ranpo, Atsushi, Kunikida x F!Reader / Fluff / Headcanons

a/n : Thank you so much for your request ! I'll have so much fun writing this so I hope you like it ! <3

Chuuya :

-"My love ?" You say, slowly approaching your husband. You finally have a day off and you were planning to take advantage of it. -"Yes ?" Chuuya said, lying quietly in your bed, a book in hand. -"Can I take care of your nails?" And Chuuya bugged.

I honestly think he'll only let you do this if you make them dark red or black, without too much extravagance. Even if he wears gloves, he may have to take them off in public and doesn't want to be embarrassed by candy pink nail art, for example.

But if you really insist on making little patterns for him, he will give in and let you do it. Expect to receive little comments like “Are you finished?” or even “Don’t get on the cuticles”. That he knows this word surprises you and when you ask him WHERE he learned this word, he simply answers that he likes to look at you when you take care of your nails and actually listens when you talk about it.

What a cutie.

Dazai :

This man would say yes to anything you could ask him. “You want to take care of my nails?” He said looking at his hands. "Yes why not !"

You can DO EVERYTHING, from yellow to black to azure blue, he'll definitely like it. So HAVE A FUN. The only thing that will be difficult to deal with is Dazai himself. He will remove his hands from yours regularly to observe your work. Even if you've only just done a nail, he wants to look.

You're going to take breaks every 30 seconds because he doesn't know how to sit still for more than 5 minutes when he's with you. Yes, it will take hours to finally finish your work but it will be perfect.

-"Honey, it's so beautiful! You're so talented!" He will show his nails to the whole agency, specifying each time that it was you who did them so well.

Ranpo :

-"Absolutely not !" Ranpo shouted, as you practically begged him to let you do his nails. -"But why? -It smells bad. "You're a child, darling." You said, sitting down next to him.

Yes, it will be hard to convince him but through persuasion, he agrees to let you do it but he will only keep your art for a day, to please you.

It goes without saying that you jump at the chance, you give him some sweets to keep him going. When you finish the first hand, he complains that he can't touch anything, he complains that it's taking too long, that it smells bad, that his arm is cramping. It's a one-hour fight but you can be proud of yourself, your work is magnificent.

-"FINALLY I'M FREE!" Ranpo shouted, jumping off the couch, you laughed at his childishness.

Atsushi :

He would be delighted if you wanted to take care of him, even if it's "just" nails. The poor guy has never taken the time to take care of his manicure and he doesn't know much about it so he'll let you do it, the only thing he doesn't want is too flashy colors.

While you have his right hand in yours, he will ask you how you learned to do nails, he will even be impressed by your dexterity.

-"You are beautiful when you concentrate." Said Atsushi. You laugh slightly, softened. -"Thank you angel, I want it to be perfect." After a good hour more, you are finally satisfied with your work.

Atsushi looks at his fingers in admiration. Not once did he complain about how long it lasted. He's just happy to have shared this moment with you.

Kunikida :

He will be VERY reluctant at first. It's not that he doesn't trust you with your talent but he doesn't want to have something too complicated, he will only end up accepting if you do a simple sober color.

He has a schedule calibrated to perfection so he will dedicate 2 hours to you so that you can take care of him. Surprisingly, he will ask a lot of questions about what you are currently doing, what tool is used for what, he is curious about this universe that he knows little about.

-"This is to remove cuticles that are too long." You say, pointing at the object. -"You'll do my nails more often, that's interesting." He said while adjusting his glasses.

Yes, you just converted him to the world of nail art and with any luck, you can one day give him hot pink nails.

If you're lucky.

Hey I hope you liked it? I had a lot of fun writing these headcanons so thank you very much for your request!

See you <3

[bakugoushotwife]

Headcanons for boyfriend Sasuke please ?

a/n: sure thing, we love feeding the sasuke girlies round these parts

tenderly and with all the love in my heart, sasuke is a horrible boyfriend if you're dating as teens

it's honestly hard to even imagine him as a boyfriend as a teen, so i won't linger here long

here's what i will say, if you manage to go official with him in his teen rogue nin years, you're either the baddest bitch on the planet or the most powerful person he's ever seen or both

assuming you're also some sort of rogue nin/akatsuki member you would help closely with his revenge tour and he would find it easier to talk to you than others

that being said he still doesn't talk very much, his emotions were hard to put into words

he can very rarely show you affection, but he doesn't allow anyone to disrespect you in any way n it's very easy for him to stand up for you to other akatsuki or anyone that feels so bold

and by affection i mean he occasionally holds your hand, and blushes violently every time i love this war criminal

he doesn't stop you from touching him though, he's just touch starved of course and doesn't rlly know how to touch you in a romantic but appropriate way

very defensive so you pretty much always have to agree w him or...nvm u saw how many times he tried to kill sakura

he does value your insight in planning though, let's you give opinions when his head is level

is surprised that anyone even wants to stick by him at all, much less in his crazee era!

but appreciates it by keeping you safe and training w you <3

listen to your favorite dress by lil peep i think that summarizes teen boyfriend sasuke

now young adult sasuke would be much easier to deal with, definitely not walking around on eggshells with him

he still is very awkward and unsure how to flirt or romance you

just like teen sasuke he blushes every time he holds your hand or gives you a sweet kiss

tells you about his brother more openly, a sign he's let you in

constantly asking the boyz for help with dates or gifts for you and always coming home with some goofy ass trinket that shikamaru jokingly told him to get or buying the ugliest dress in konoha because naruto said that hinata said that you would like it

a+ for effort though, king

eventually he just starts asking you for the things you like and you freely tell him all your favorite colors and patterns and scents, all the things you had your eye on or had thought were nice

the adorable thing about sasuke is he has a fantastic memory, so he's able to memorize all the things you told him and slowly acquire them for you

when y'all leave the leaf for his missions, he's protective as always, but trusts in your abilities

#travelgoals

exploring together is so fun because he really is so smart and knows all kinds of fun facts about the different villages and locations you visit

always reups on snacks at the big stops because he knows you'll get cranky

cute starwatching and picnic dates while hunting otsutsuki? yes!

picks flowers for you <3 crying

definitely lets you use the cloak as a blanket during the night

always pretends to be annoyed when you whine that you're still cold

cue the *sigh* into cuddles, like he isn't grinning to himself and super relieved and lucky to have you with him

can oddly write? like not sonnets or anything mf crazy but maybe a slight poem when his heart is just about to burst if he doesn't figure out how to put his love for you into words

doesn't give them to you though, too embarrassed

you find them anyway hehe

they're so sweet and well written that you're shocked but also melting at all of his comparisons of your beauty to the sun and the sound of your voice to music

you're touched

snatches said poems when he notices lol like you're not his partner?

you pout and thank him and he's a bit surprised that you like it but hey he'll give you whatever he writes now

he's so babygirl

your honor i know he's a terrorist but i love him

Some random modern HotD headcanons :)

Hey y’all! So I kept thinking of some funny, and very specific headcanons for the HotD characters, so I decided to just make it a whole post. This will actually be my first “legit” post on here, lol! Anyways, this will include some headcanons about Aemond, Aegon II, Luke, Jace, Daemon, Rhaenyra, Helaena, etc. But hope y’all enjoy lol! :)

Ok, I am convinced that Aemond has a secret stash of tea hidden somewhere. He's even put them all in a very nice ornate, antique box. It's his guilty pleasure. He probably would have some Earl Gray, English Breakfast, maybe even some lavender mint for the evenings. He'd keep it secret because all the teas he's gotten are way too expensive, and special.

Luke is an avid Minecraft gamer. Like he's basically built Dragonstone, and the Red Keep in his server. He'll play sometimes with Jace, or maybe even Aegon. But he doesn't let them into that world. Aegon would probably blow it all up with TnT.

Speaking of gaming, I think some people are on the same page that Aegon would be some kind of gamer. He'd be up to date on all the new systems and gadgets. He'd be one of the firsts to have the PS5 when it came out. He probably plays a lot of Call of Duty. Maybe even some Valorant when he doesn't wanna fire up the PS. He'd definitely be cursing and yelling at the game, to the point where Alicent threatens to take it away.

While Rhaenyra watches her shows, House Wives, Rupaul's Drag Race, etc. Daemon pretends to be not interested, but really he's super invested. He'd be leaning against the couch, or the wall totally sucked in. And when Rhaenyra tells him to just sit down and watch with her, he's all like, "no no I don't even like this show". But then he'd say things like, "Well maybe if her gown was better made she wouldn't have been eliminated last episode".

Aegon gives me frat boy energy. And I know I'm not the first to say that lol. You already know he's planning all the parties, and picking the themes. I like to think he'd be very invested into picking the themes. They would be things like, dragon night, wear your fave dragon scale colors. Or something like, Dragonstone beach night, wear your swim suits and flip flops.

Alicent likes to knit. Or maybe crochet? It's her stress reliever activity after dealing with Aegon, and the rest of the boys. Helaena is always giving her new patterns or designs to try.

I think Alicent also likes to take the occasional Buzzfeed quiz. "If you were a cake flavor, here's what you'd be based on your star sign".

Helaena runs a very successful tik tok account. She'd post her outfits, and maybe some art or cool bugs she's found.

Aegon listens to a lot of Megan Thee Stallion and Kim Petras. He's blasting Kim Petras' Treat me like a Slut at least 5 times a day. He gets ready to it in the morning.

Aemond will get down to some Amy Winehouse.

Jace works at the local animal shelter as his summer job. He only got the job cause Rhaenyra said he needed to get out of the house. Plus Helaena also works there, so she helped him get hired.

Aemond would be a great bartender. Not with like actually interacting with customers, but he can make some great drinks. Like he's over here coming up with all these crazy cocktails. Although, like his tea obsession he keeps this on the low. He doesn't want Aegon asking him to make drinks all the time. Gods forbid he asks Aemond to bartend at one of the frat parties.

Helaena was a Monster High girl growing up.

Aemond has a motorcycle. It was his one rebellious purchase. Alicent hates it.

Luke can kick Aegon's ass in any game, video or otherwise. You name it, Call of Duty, UNO, Valorent, Go fish...

Rhaenyra has a bit of a sweet tooth, but she has to hide her candy stash, cause the boys will steal it in a heartbeat. Who would have thought Daemon would love lemon drops so much.

I really could go on forever, these are just too fun to write. But I'll leave it here for now lol.

Beauty Day Headcanons for the First Class SOLDIER boys!

A/N: I have always imagined the 1st class bois doing a beauty day with their S/O cause why not? They're beautiful. 💅💄

♡ Sephiroth♡

-Let's start with skincare. He's not that into skin cleansing with creams and whatnot, but will definitely put on a face mask, especially if it's Moogle or Chocobo themed.

-He will allow you to put on some eyeshadow (see pic above, not mine btw) and maybe some foundation, but lipstick is out of the question because he risks getting it on his hair.

-LOVES to have his nails painted, especially black and white. I mean come on. Why do you think he wears gloves? It's to hide his shiny, glittery nails from everyone. Paint his nails for him once and you'll find it turns into a tradition. Every weekend, you two end up sitting at the kitchen table, painting each other's nails different colors, trying out new patterns and designs. Too bad his nails have to be kept short so he can fitght or he would have long-ass coffin nails by now.

-You want to brush his hair? By all means, go right ahead! Sephiroth is a living Rapunzel; to have a beauty day and not play with his hair would be to miss out on a golden opportunity. He loves it. You love it. Everyone's happy.

-What about hairstyling, you may ask? Well, he is in EUPHORIA when you braid his hair (it's soooo relaxing) and likes to have you help him tie it into buns, pigtails, ponytails and whatnot. At the end of the day, he ends up looking like a really big, muscular kawaii girl. ✌️🩷❤️✌️

☆Genesis☆

-LOOK at this man. A total pretty boy. It's likely that you were introduced to beauty days by him, and that he dragged you onto the makeup/skincare/shiny things bandwagon.

-Will wear literally anything you want him to, eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, facemasks, cleansers, you name it, he'll let you put it on his face. That can be interpreted many ways, don't sue me for your dirty minds

-Fingernail painting? He's fine with it, but he's more into pedicures because his hands get scratched up more often than Sephiroth's do.

-When it's time to paint the footsies...hoo boy. His toes are very ticklish, so you have to pinch 'em just so or he'll be wiggling and giggling, and then his feet will end up covered in nail polish and there'll be a huge mess in general.

-Like Sephiroth, Genesis enjoys getting his hair done. He'll let you wash it, style it, tie it up into little pigtails--he's basically your living Barbie doll.

-All in all, beauty days with Genesis are lots of fun. Sometimes you guys turn on a rom-com or drama and do each other's hair while watching it. ❤️

■ Angeal ■

-Aight, this man is different from the rest. He's not that into makeup, but he will don a little blush and guyliner if you ask him to.

-Angeal's preference is skincare, believe it or not. He wants the whole package, face masks, cleansers, lotions, hydrating soaps, etc. Being in S.O.L.D.I.E.R. means you have to leave for missions often--you don't get much time to maintain your skin. As a result, Angeal is now a skincare addict and relies on you to teach him how to use the products properly and help him establish a solid routine.

-Bonus points if you buy him one of those cute headbands to push his hair back. Imagine seeing your beefy boyfriend parading around the house with bunny ears and a pink sheet mask. Adorable.

-Another thing he enjoys is massages. Yes, you read that right. Coming home from an exhausting mission and being met with a warm bubble bath and then a relaxing massage? That's his kind of heaven.

-Also wouldn't mind giving you a nice full body massage as a reward afterwards. What did I tell you about double meanings, like jeez ?

Silly Mr. Plant Ramble: His Vines!

I talked about it a little bit on one of my redraws but I wanna yap a little more about them.

Sorry if there's a bit of repeat here im a senile old beetle, but I do talk about some more stuff lmaoo.

Giving Mr. Plant vine designs was always a fun decision for two reasons like, I'll gladly admit that a big part of the idea initially- at least for me, I know there's others who ended up doing this for their Mr. Plant too, but for ME, it was just because I've always liked the tattoo aesthetic. I have many many OCs with tattoos and many more that will continue to have them loool. But ALSO, the idea that Mr. Plant can just grow and manipulate vines to use as extended limbs has always lived rent free in my head- and other people's I'm sure! In fact, I even linked to the post that initially inspired me to consider Mr. Plant vines on one of my redraws.

The post that inspired it is a couple years old at this point i think??? but I'll link it again cause it's worth lookin at. Here.

Our presentation of Mr. Plant vines is different of course but that's the part of the fun, the differences. I love the idea of these vines that Mr. Plant has that can just slither out from underneath his flesh as needed. Like he just has a network of them beneath his skin and- as I mentioned before in my redraw where i talked about it, they just kind of sit near the surface of his skin like blood vessels or something.

Whenever I'm drawing Mr. Plant and I'm coloring in his vines, I think about watching them move or twitch or readjust themselves while they're still nestled comfortably under his flesh.

In fact I think I even mention in the fics that I managed to post that they tend to move the most when he's experiencing high emotion.

How comfortable is it for Mr. Plant??

I always imagine the vine patterns on Mr. Plant tend to change a lot because they shift and also because when Mr. Plant brings them out for use and then tucks them away again, they kind of nestle back into a new position...

And also because I can't be arsed to map out and stick with a consistent pattern when I'm drawing Mr. Plant.

BUT THAT STILL MAKES FOR FUN VINE LORE

Because I imagine it must feel a very particular way to slip those things out and back in again. Maybe it even gets uncomfortable or tender on those spots on his body if he does it too much???

Fun things to think about.

But because of the fascinating or even unsettling nature of watching these slithering, wriggling things underneath someone's flesh, Mr. Plant always kept them covered because- similar to horror stories from people with tattoos, people in the Void tend to forgo things like personal space and "minding one's own business" when they see Mr. Plant's vines.

Not even when the vines are out but even just when they're chilling under his skin.

"Woah, does that hurt??"

"Can I touch your arm?"

"Ew, that's disgusting!"

Que people attempting to grab Mr. Plant's hand or wrist for a better view.

And then all manner of other unnecessary and annoying comments that Mr. Plant had to deal with so he just opted to wear long sleeves all the time when going out in public.

I can't imagine many of those people who had the audacity to grab him are still alive though but, to prevent future mishap!

The sweater.

But I like to think because Argos liked Mr. Plant's vines so much- both because he thought they were pretty and also with the way I tend to imagine the placement of Argos' eyes across his body: in coiling swirling patterns, he was like, "wow, me too!!! See?"

And slowly overtime Argos managed to convince Mr. Plant to show them off more again.

I do like to think that when Mr. Plant is out and about on his own- depending on where he's going though, he may choose to cover up again, just to avoid any potential hassle. But as long as he's with Argos, he'll have his vines out on display for him. <:

Maybe not always but most of the time.

I also like to think Mr. Plant has days where he let's them just kind of splay out across his Void, like he's stretching them out.

Stuff I never talked about before because I was always super self conscious about my very slight design choices for Mr. Plant lmaooo.

But I don't care as much, I'll yap about anything at this point. Sort of. Looool.

The other reason I bring it up- other than just cause I think it would be fun to talk about is because, I was just working on some Mr. Plant art and whenever I come to his vines I'm always thinking, "What did I do last time? Should I try to keep it the same? No... but maybe similar. Nah fuck it, they're all over the place."

Cause sometimes I'm on the fence about whether or not I want to keep a consistent pattern. Tbh tho like i said, I'm lazy and also I think it's a lot more fun to think that they move around and also be able to kinda see that lmao.

Basically it was just on my mind lmaoo and I thought, "you know I never really go into it..."

And I have thoughts.

I always have thoughts.

Fan fic milestone:

Wow, BibliophiLe has gotten 50 kudos!

I can't believe my idea born out of a desire to explore more rare pairs in My Hero Academia made something that 50 people have liked. Huge shout out to my amazing husband who heard me talk about this and then said, "But what about Monoma and Kaminari?" And I said, "YES, PLEASE!"

I think milestones are fun to celebrate, so I figured for anyone who might follow me that is enjoying my fic, I'd give a fun fact or piece of info about the process here.

How about some clothing inspiration!

If you read BibliophiLe, you'll notice that I sometimes go to great length to describe what a character is wearing.

I think clothes are something that define us. How the world sees us. Our first impression.

When a character walks into a room, I want to see their whole self. What they decide to wear that day can let you know their level of comfort, what they value in appearance, and how much they may even care about themselves.

Image Inspirations for Monoma:

In this story, Monoma cares about his appearance immensely a majority of the time. He wants to dress modern and cool, ready to go out at any moment. He would never want to turn down an invitation to hang out because he wasn't ready for it.

He doesn't want to come off too desperate though, so he'll often pair something rich and lush with jeans or a basic color block of something. Look like you care, but not too much. Our anxious boy truly does agonize over the details.

He loves pattern. He wants to be seen so people will engage with him. He sees clothes as being a potential conversation piece. He wants friends. If people want to talk to you and think you're interesting right away, then they'll be more comfortable. For Monoma, his clothes can do that.

Image Inspirations for Kaminari:

Kaminari prioritizes comfort and fun. School uniforms are the bane of his existence, so any time he doesn't need to wear it, he chucks it into his closet and grabs the nearest oversized top and breathes a sigh of relief. If you can't take a nap in it, why wear it?

You should add a layer of scuff and wear-and-tear in your mind's eye to anything here. Kaminari wears his clothes until they break apart. Clothes only get better with age. Also, he loves to run around outside, and he doesn't mind getting dirty.

While his tops are usually pretty massive, at least 2 sizes too big, his bottoms are fitted. He loves to skateboard, and he can't have anything dragging around his legs to mess up a trick or slow him down.

Also!

That black and white sweater? That's the inspiration for THE sweater Kaminari shoves at Monoma. I considered the symbolism of black and white: two worlds, two ideas, two senses of self.

Again, ah! 50 kudos?! I was honestly so excited when 5 people liked something I wrote.

I can't wait to continue on writing about these two finding themselves and learning to be okay with who they are and who they will become.

A Spa Day with them

Cannibal, Trickster, Spirit

Cannibal

Spa day?

What's that?

He has no idea what a spa is.

Explain it in the simplest of terms and call it a 'self care' day.

Go into a little more detail on what you mean, then he'll start to understand.

Bubba will try and paint your nails, but he's kind of shaky, so some might end up on your skin.

He'll quickly try to rub it off, only to smear it more.

He'll be blubbering apologies.

Don't let him get too worked up about it.

He'll really enjoy doing different face masks.

Especially any that require someone to slather it on.

So he puts it on your face while you put it on his.

Bubba is super ticklish, so he'll probably be a little squirmy and giggly.

He won't actually take his mask off, but the effects should still work on skin that belonged to another human, right?

Probably doesn't work like that, but he's having fun.

Aromatherapy is also something new to him.

He isn't super fond of fruity sweet smells, but he enjoys more earthy scents.

It reminds him of home.

He often gets so relaxed, that he falls asleep on your lap.

He never gets these peaceful moments.

Feeling pretty and snuggling with you.

What more could he want?

Trickster

Spa day?

Um, yes please.

You don't even have to get anything.

Ji-Woon has a huge box full of high-quality products that he uses.

He is going to elevate you to a whole new experience.

"This is what they do at the spas I go to."

He'll say as he hands you a fancy drink and starts to paint your nails.

Although he usually got his nails done by other people, he prefers doing it himself.

And it won't just be a solid color.

You will get the most breathtaking patterns that could ever be done.

You can offer to paint his nails, but he really enjoys doing his own.

But he'll let you do his right hand since he has a harder time with that one.

After, he's picking out face masks and body scrubs, describing in great detail what each of them do.

He will even show you how to apply them.

And you better believe this man has a huge array of candles.

Any scent you can think of, he has it.

He isn't picky either. He'll like whatever one you choose.

While letting the masks and scrubs sit, he'll indulge you in gossip.

"Yun-Jin is so scared of bugs. Like, one time she took one of my knives just to kill this little beetle. And she crushed it. She can be so over dramatic."

It's days like this that make living in the realm so much more bearable.

Especially since he got to do it with you.

Spirit

Oh she's totally down for that!

Trials can be so stressful, this sounds like a great way to unwind.

First, she'll bring out all her incense.

Pick any one you'd like.

Personally, Rin loves any flowery scents.

Once those get burning, she'll get some of her nail polish.

She only has a few colors, but you two make it work.

It's also super easy to paint her nails.

Since her arms are kind of detached and all.

Cooler colors like purples and blues are her favorite.

She's surprisingly good at painting your nails.

She has very steady hands, probably from all those years of practicing kendo.

Her masks are the home-made type.

All natural, no chemicals.

Those are so much better more you.

And making the masks with you just makes it way more special

She'll always find ways to add fruits to any scrubs or masks she makes.

So, when you're both done, you'll smell amazing.

Lots of giggles and jokes.

This had to have been the most relaxed she had been in years.

She'll be begging for this to turn into a regular thing.

But she'll only do it if you do it with her.

Honestly I can’t stop thinking about how Steve would proudly wear your hair tie around his wrist (especially if it’s like a bright colored scrunchy or something like that) obviously everyone likes to poke fun at him for wearing it every day but he likes having something of yours that is visible to others so whenever you ask to use it he gets worried that you won’t give it back (but ofc you do because nothing is sweeter than him wearing it) and when a girl starts flirting with him he flaunts his wrist in their face to show them is happily taken and not interested

YES!!! i just wrote a little steve thought about him and sharing things, because i really do think he's the type who likes to share EVERYTHING so you can always be reminded of each other <33

also, i weirdly (and maybe falsely) remember a time when this kinda thing was a trend to write about?? idk maybe i'm making that up; either way, i'm happy to write this for you!!

i think maybe it starts out as an accident. you're walking around the mall together and you complain about your scrunchie being uncomfortable around your own wrist, and you don't wanna put it in your hair right now, so steve does what any good boyfriend would and takes it and puts it around his own wrist. every single time he looks down or gets a glimpse of it as you're browsing through the various stores, it brings a wide smile to his face, and from then on it just becomes a thing the two of you do.

you give him on of them to keep and wear whenever he wants - because you also like how connected it makes you, to have a piece of each other even when you aren't around one another - and it's got some bright neon pattern on it that steve's never even seen before, which only makes him like it more since it's unmistakably yours.

the kids are, of course, the first ones to make their teasing little remarks, but they don't bother steve at all. he just does his typical annoyed-older-brother- slash-pseudo-mom eye roll and continues on. he thinks of them as a version of those cute matching couples bracelets (despite the fact that yours are typically in your hair rather than on your wrist) so nothing - and i mean NOTHING - is going to get him to take it off. probably ever. (seriously. you're lucky he gives it back to you so you can use it when you ask; he has a little grumpy pout on his face if you ever have it for 'too long' because he feels like he's missing a piece of you).

and, of course, there's the massive advantage of having an easy way to throw off anyone who tries anything on him. working at the mall didn't really come with much competition for you, but when it burns after the summer of '85 and he starts working at family video, the number of girls that try to shoot their shot is hard to get used to and a little annoying for a guy who's in head over heels like steve. so, when some girl comes up and starts leaning over the counter and asking about steve's favorite romance movies, his new go-to move is to take the hand with the scrunches on it and purposefully place it on the counter, wiggling it around and toying with it as he rests his chin in his palm. if tht isn't enough for them to take a hint, then he'll just get lost in thought while staring down at it, making sure to pull off his most lovestruck expression to really relay the fact that he isn't single or interested.

most will either awkwardly apologize and go back to the sections of movies or they'll grumble as they walk back out the front door. if it comes off a little bitchy, then oh well; it's always a sight that makes robin stifle giggles as she's filling out paperwork or restocking the shelves.
