[hyperobsessedd]

Joost Klein SFW Alphabet

a/n: can we just admire how good joost looks in the pictures above

cw: light cussing, some sexual implications (nothing happens), mentions of death, mentions of drugs and alcohol

⟡⋆.˚❀⋆.˚⟡

A=Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

It’s fairly obvious that the man is very touchy and energetic with everyone, even more so with his partner (you) tbh.

He would always try to touch you in some sense wether that be holding your hand while walking, keeping his arm around your waist while hanging out with your mutual friends, or just resting his head on your shoulder whenever he feels tired.

When you guys are at home he would probably sneak up behind you whenever he saw you doing stuff around the house. Once he snuck up behind you while you were seasoning some vegetables with cayenne pepper, safe to say that the broccoli tasted like satan’s dandruff.

Joost seems like he would be a D1 clinger; always wanting to be around you and following you around everywhere. Luckily he isn’t to light a sleeper and does not wake up immediately after you get out of bed so at least you can piss in peace at three am; the same cannot be said during the day time though. You could be taking the shortest shower ever and he would still come into the bathroom just to bother you.

“Baby, why is the sky blue.”

“I don’t fucking know”

“Ok”

Even though he can be annoy just for the sake of bothering you he would love to see you happy; your smile was his favorite thing to see. He would give you endless compliments and praise, he would always do anything that you asked him to, and of course he would always love giving you the tightest hugs ever.

B=Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start)

When you first met joost you never thought that you’d be dating him; you just assumed that he would be another acquaintance you had in the Netherlands. Joost on the other hand knew that he liked you as soon as he saw you.

After that first interaction you exchanged numbers and started talking more and more. He eventually became your best friend. You two were inseparable for the most part; he would always be in your apartment and vice versa. He would always try to make you laugh with his corny jokes and as much as you tried not to you always let out a chuckle or two.

he breathed in and out before he opened his mouth “okay, why is 6 scared of 7” he stared at you with those piercing baby blue eyes

“Why” you already knew the answer but wanted to see where he went with it

“Because 7,8,9” he burst out laughing, you would’ve thought that Jim Carey was doing a live performance in front of joost with the sound of his laughter.

You tried not to laugh but joost’s cackle was to infectious and you just couldn’t help but laugh with him.

“See I am very funny you just don’t like to admit it” he added once his little episode ended

“Your laugh is funnier than your jokes to be honest” you retorted

“Sure buddy”

Overall he would be a great friend who’s always there for you and always supports you. He would always take you to different places and maybe even invite you on tour, well if you had time that is.

And like all best friends do you guys had so many inside jokes that no one other than you two get. Once when you were out together you once saw a guy who stole something getting chased by a man who appeared to be a giant, he yelled “get back here” with a big deep growl. Now whenever you’re all alone one you says get back here and both of you start to giggle; recalling how funny the moment was

C= Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

This man is obsessed with cuddling and hugging you to be honest. The first thing he does after coming home from tour is taking of his shoes (duh) and then getting into bed with you; trying not to wake you up and pulling your body closer to his. You smell so good and he can’t resist just taking a small sniff of you. If you were to wake up he would stroke your hair and shush back to sleep.

He can’t help but hug you every time he sees you wether that be a small side hug or a tight ass bear hug that leaves you breathless. He just loves wrapping his arms around your waist when you’re cooking, cleaning, or brushing your teeth. He would sneak up behind you, wrap his strong arms around you, and whisper sweet nothings into your ear; hoping that in return for his kindness he would get a small peck on the lips and maybe somewhere else too

When cuddling in bed or on the couch he would always have his longs legs wrapped around you, another way that he would keep you from leaving his warm embrace. Even though he’s a mega yapper something about being in your presence calms him; he would be super silent whenever he had you like this. He would also love playing with you hair if you let him (all my curly girls/boys/theys know exactly what I’m talking about) and if you didn’t he would resort to slightly stroking your hands

D= Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Joost never though that he would settle down. He was used to the rockstar lifestyle full of parties, drugs, and alcohol; That was until he met you. He was smitten the second he started talking to you, his loud and cool personality seemed to have floated away to some distant galaxy when he opened his mouth. Overall he was very sure that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you from the moment he met you.

He would know basic kitchen skills like how to fry and scramble eggs but other than that he was completely clueless. Before he met you his diet was made up of takeout and potato chips. You tried to teach him how to cook but he was not receptive at all; he jumped whenever he heard oil pop and somehow burned the pasta you were trying to prepare so now you’re the one who cooks for the both of you.

Joost would be way better at cleaning than he is at cooking. He can be unorganized at times but he can really pull through whenever you need him to

E= Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

He wouldn’t try to beat around the bush, he’d just tell you directly not trying to play with emotions. Leaving you was probably the hardest decision he had ever made and the face you made after he broke the news didn’t make him feel any better

F= Fiance (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

He knew that he wanted to be in a committed relationship the moment he met you but more dating than marriage. As time passed he fell more in love with you and that’s when he knew he needed to marry you. It would take him a couple years to get comfortable with the idea of marriage and a couple months to actually plan out your engagement.

G= Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

The definition of gentle giant. For the most part he treats you like a little flowers whose petals might come off if roughed up enough but on the other hand he could also be rough; not enough to harm you but still rough. You guys will play fight a lot and that usually ends in one of you landing on their ass and the other hysterically

H= Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it and what is it like?)

The man is obsessed with both giving and receiving hugs. He loves wrapping his arms around you after a long day and just breathing your scent in. It could be 90 degrees outside and he would still want to hug you (he would pout when you pulled him off of your sweaty body).

He just loves feeling close to you and hugging you is like the closest he can get for now.

I= I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It would take him 3 months max to say I love you. He had invited you over for a movie night; he bought all the sweets, drinks, and chips he knew you liked (because as I said before he only knows how to make eggs) and spread them over his kitchen table; almost like a movie theater. A half hour into the movie and both you were on the verge of sleep; both of you trying to keep your eyes open for the other.

You started to “rest” your eyes and lay your head down on joost’s lap. 5 minutes had passed and you surprisingly hadn’t fallen asleep yet. But just as you were about to pass you felt joost’s warm hands stroking at your head, he silently whispered the words “I love you” into your head. You slowly turned around and whispered “I love you” back to him before finally falling asleep

J= Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they get jealous?)

He isn’t jealous most times. He feels very secure in your relationship and knows that you would never try to hurt him. Even though he knows all of this he can’t but be jealous over petty things sometimes

Like why are you always smiling at everyone?why do other people stare at you do much? how come your cat can see you naked and he can’t?

These are all very important questions that he needs the answers to immediately.

If you guys go on a night out trust he will be keeping you as close as possible and stare in the soul of anyone who even tries to flirt with you.

K= Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

He kisses you nice and slow; trying to savor the moment for as long as possible. He would love kissing you everywhere but his personal favorite would be your plump lips, your neck, and all over your back. He lovesss when you kiss his lips and neck (he’s also obsessed with the idea of you giving him hickeys and is constantly asking you to give him at least one)

L= Little ones (How are they around children?)

His silly and goofy demeanor translates well into taking care of kids. He just loves hanging around kids; their wonder and hopefulness really makes him want to have a kid of his own.

M= Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

He stays up late and wakes up extremely late. No matter how late you wake up he will always wake up at least an later. Once he woke up at four in the afternoon. Even if he does manage to wake up early he would stay in bed and cuddle with you. Don’t even think of trying to escape he grasp because he will pull you closer and wrap his arms around you even tighter. You would have to be actively pissing your pants for him to let you go.

N= Night (How are nights spent with them?)

He would stay up longer than you most nights or simply just come home very late. On the off chance that he doesn’t come him he’ll call you and let you know so that you don’t stay up all night waiting for him. He loves to watch you do your skincare routine; always asking what the product your using is and what it does.

Another thing he loves to do is watch you. Just watching the face you make when your scrolling on your phone is enough to make his heart melt. Not to mention the face you make while your asleep, whenever he gets home late he’ll just stand at the door of your shared bedroom and just look at your calm face.

O= Open (When will they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or do they reveal little things slowly?)

Joost is a very honest person so he would tell you a lot about himself the first few times you hang out.

In regards to deep secrets it would probably take him a bit longer to tell you about them but even then he told you a majority of them by month 3 of your relationship.

P= Patience (How easily are they angered?)

When it comes to you he’s never mad, he’s like a slightly laid back version of himself when he’s around you. He’ll only ever snap if he’s under a lot of stress and you keep pushing him with questions.

But if anyone were ever to disrespect you in front of him they would never hear the end of it, he would call them ever insult he could think them and force them to apologize to you.

Q= Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every detail or forget the minor things?)

That man is absolutely obsessed with you so trust that he will remember almost everything you tell him. He knows your favorite brand of detergent, your favorite artist, he just knows everything about you and what you like. There are some things that he might forget but for the most part he knows everything there is to know about you.

R= Remember (What is their favorite moment of your relationship?)

Everything. His favorite moment is quite literally everything you have done together.

S= Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? how would they like to be protected?)

He’s like your own private bodyguard. He is very protective over you and hates whenever someone else tries to talk to you while y’all are in the middle of a conversation. He finds himself hovering behind you at different events just so that no one else has the opportunity to try and sway you away (he knows that you’d never leave him but still they should fuck off).

T= Try (How much effort do they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Baby boy is always trying his best whenever he does something for you. He’ll listen more intently once it gets closer to different events/holidays like Christmas, your birthday, and your guys’ anniversary.

He really does try to make life easier for you but when it comes to cooking and storing dishes he’s completely useless.

U= Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Whenever gets hyper obsessed (me reference) /focused on different projects he’ll just shut everyone else out and do whatever he needs to do with no break. He’ll also lash out at people who try to talk to him about something other than the project at hands whenever something like this happens. A complete 180 but he would also be a compulsive nail bitter, it’s just something he does whenever he’s bored. You’ve tried to get him to stop but nothing works.

V= Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Joost Klein is a fashion icon, do you think that he wouldn’t be obsessed with the way he looks. He loves shopping (specifically thrift stores) and he loves whenever you pick out something for him, even if he doesn’t like the piece it’s still nice that you thought about him.

He loves whenever you do his hair and makeup. Even if your doing a lit comb of his hair or putting a bit of concealer under his eyes he just loves that you care about him enough to do all of that.

He calls you every day when he’s on tour always wanting your opinion on his outfit and hair and just your opinion about his in general (he really cares about what you think if you haven’t noticed).

W= Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

He hates being away from you in general. He misses you when your at work and he’s at home, he misses you when you’re picking up dinner and he’s in your shared apartment; counting down the minutes until your home, and he especially hates when you’re using the restroom and he’s just laying in bed.

So just imagine how he would feel if you ever broke up or if god forbid you ever died. He would never be the same again in either cases. Spending the rest of his life sulking over you.

X= Xtra (A random headcanon for them)

This man is a eater (in both of the ways your thinking hunny). It’s like the acid in his stomach is extra strong and just dissolves everything he consumed immediately with the amount he eats. You could prepare a feast fit for a small village and he would eat the whole thing and ask for dessert. Speaking of dessert whenever you make like a pie you secretly make another one for yourself because you already know the first one is going to be done by tomorrow.

Y= Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)

Can’t stand people who speak down to others and people who are rude in general. He also hates certain vegetables when they’re mushy like peas and mushrooms.

Z= Zzz (What are some sleeping habits of theirs?)

He’s a semi deep sleeper but he has a very strong grip when he’s asleep so good like trying to go use the restroom late at night. He snores softly while asleep, it’s not like those obnoxious snores you hear in the movies but almost like a soft snort. He moves around a lot in his sleep and takes you with him, sometimes you wake up on the other side of the bed opposite the headboard.

I lowkey wanna do a nsfw version but I don’t really know, lemme know what you think

Notes, reblogs, and comments are greatly appreciated and ty for reading

[krakenshaped]

Tag Duel bios are so funny because they include so much dumbass trivia and a whole section on each character's love life for some reason? Trivia detailed below because it's SO funny.

(From Tag Force 2)

Judai: Apparently not only is Judai really disinterested in girls but no girl has ever hit on him before which is why Judai finds Rei scary ("It will be interesting to see how Jaden reacts to Blair Flannigan, who becomes really infatuated with him. No one like that has been around him before.") It's stated he's happy to eat everything. Not anything. Everything. Judai is an unstoppable gluttonous machine.

Sho: Honestly the funniest entry by far. Someone on this writing team just wants Sho to SUFFER and its lowkey hilarious. This kid exists to be in pain. Apparently he "tends to fall in love very easily. On top of that, he cares quite a lot about looks, making things even more difficult for himself." His favourite food is shrimp but can't stand spicy food. I don't know if this is a direct translation or a dub gag but apparently he changes his glasses on special occasions but nobody ever notices (lol)

Asuka: Asuka's crush on Judai is described as a mystery which is interesting. Apparently Asuka doesn't even know she has a crush on Judai which is so funny, I love you girl. Seeing Rei flirt with Judai apparently puts her in a bad mood. Apparently if she was to look for a partner, it would be someone who can put her mind at ease. ("More than maybe anything else, she needs a partner to give her peace of mind if they really want to support her") The bio makes a point of speculating whether or not she's good at cooking since Judai is Duel Academy's hungriest guy. She likes sweets! And healthy food and dislikes stuff with strong smells.

Manjoume: His bio is so funny. Like. So funny. The first paragraph basically calls him a tsundere (true). Canon use of bad language (whether or not this is cursing or just general Manjoume rudeness - LET HIM SAY FUCK!!!) He's described as being obsessed with Asuka - although not as infatuated as he used to be. Dude does NOT eat his veggies!!! He likes expensive food and hates vegetables!!! He is NOT growing big and strong!!!

Kenzan: Kenzan bio is really just contributing to sweet kid propaganda. I am a Kenzan fan and apologist he is one of my favourite characters. "Hassleberry stands out at Duel Academy due to his very muscular physique. Although he's probably very good in a fight, he's by no means a violent person. In fact, he's usually very kind and generous." YOU BET!!!! KENZAN IS A SWEETHEART!!! KENZAN NO.1 IN THE WORLD!!! He's apparently pretty fashionable, as on top of the bio rehashing that he modified his own uniform, it mentions that he would probably do the same to the Obelisk Blue Uniform. Which is interesting!!! Fun headcanon material! Apparently he has no dislikes but his favourite food is fish (another fishing enjoyer too)

Edo: This bio was the worst victim of dub translations as it reiterates the dub version where his father is kidnapped and not like dead LMAO. Other than that tho? Apparently he doesn't really show interest in romance since he was too busy hunting for revenge but now that it's been settled "Aster finally has time to look for love. It'll be really exciting to see he goes for it or not." According to the bio he's considered good looking in universe. His favourite food is steak and other meats.

Rei: Apparently Manjoume's entire room was just turned into a Red Girl's Dorm. Which is tbh. Hilarious. Not only did he get evicted by a toddler but his entire room that he stole his brother's credit card for was turned into a girls only space lmao. Apparently Rei is actually one of the best at dueling among the entirety of the first years (real I feel like people sleep on Rei's dueling abilities sometimes since she's. Yknow. Like that.) She likes sweet and spicy food.

Johan: Finally. Weirdo Johan propaganda. He's described as someone who's thoughtful but frank and says the craziest weirdest shit sometimes. His whole bio paints him as someone who's very composed but can be reckless or impulsive when he's in the heat of the moment or excited. Incredibly funny how the bio claims "Nobody knows what kind of girl he likes. If the right young lady does come on the scene though, we wonder if the Crystal Beasts will call a family meeting..." (LMAO.) His favourite food is... Bread stuffed with various unusual fillings. You know this guy makes the WORST, WEIRDEST sandwiches known to man.

Jim: interestingly, despite the game referring to Karen as Karen in Jim's dialogue, the bio calls her Shirely. More reasons why changing the name for the damn crocodile was so silly. We do not information about Jim's love life or favourite food in his bio :(

O'Brien: Not much is said about the non-Johan transfer students. Like. Nothing except information you could find the anime. Interestingly enough though, O'Brien likes cola and junk food.

Misawa: One paragraph. Mf gets one paragraph in his bio. Is described as having a good personality but isn't treated well by his peers. (I wonder why.)

Fubuki: "ALL THE WOMEN FLOCK TO HIM WHEN HE APPEARS!!!!" His bio also reiterates his friendship with Ryo and questions what it's like since "They seem like polar opposites"

Momoe and Junko have bios too!!! Although they're mostly described as growing apart a little from Asuka :( Although apparently Momoe hangs out with Judai's clique a lot. Junko on the other hand is influenced mostly by what Momoe does.

If I've missed anything, or somethings been lost in the English translation let me know! I love collecting trivia brbrbbr

[iasmelaion]

Fun and/or delightful things said by my assorted tour guides during this trip to Lisbon:

After I asked if people study Spanish in school in Portugal: “No, it's too close to Portuguese. Of course, we all think we can speak Spanish, but we can't.”

During our food tour (with Devour btw, highly recommended in any of the cities they do tours in!), our half Italian, half Ethiopian tour guide who’s been living in Lisbon for a decade: “I don’t know why the Portuguese don’t eat vegetables. They have them. And yet on the menus it’s all meat and fish.”

(This dude also gave us the A++++ tips of: enter the Livraria Bertrand via the cafe entrance on the side, much less crowded, and visit the Estufia Fria, which was a truly lovely and surprisingly big botanical garden. A quiet and peaceful respite during the trip!)

(Also, this dude’s tragic backstory: half Italian, and allergic to tomatoes :( Though he did constantly shit talk Italian food for being too boring and set in its ways lol.)

When we got to the big market with fresh fruits and veggies: “See, they have vegetables!”

About all the explorers and colonizers etc: “You know, they say these guys did it all for the glory of Portugal, but come on! They did it for the money!” (Appreciated that this guy also mentioned, hey, we have all these monuments about the Age of Discovery, but none memorializing its evils and horrors.��)

Dueling opinions about the pasteis de nata: food tour guy said Manteigaria has the best (though he allowed that Castro’s were pretty good too), other guide said the originals in Belem are the best. First tour guide said forget about pasteis de nata, Sintra’s pastries are where it’s at.

Coolest sights:

Unfortunately, the major parks and sights in Sintra were closed due to wildfire risk. It was still neat to visit the town though!

Cabo de Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe was a surprisingly neat stop on one of our tours. Super windy, but neat to say you’ve been there.

The Jeronimos Monastery. Should you ever go, I really recommend booking a tour if only to skip the longest line, because holy shit that line was enormous. Anyway, the Manueline architecture is gorgeous.

Igreja de Sao Domingo. Fascinating story and interior. We stopped in during our food tour, and it’s so interesting to see the building’s history of disaster and reconstruction written on it so plainly.

The enormous Time Out Market that houses curated restaurants in a food court setting one one side and a traditional market on the other is just super neat and it’s worth it just to take in the atmosphere.

The MAAT museum was fine, but tbh, the view of the Tagus River and statue of Christ Redeemer from their cafe was lovely. Worth eating a light meal or having a coffee here and just relaxing!

God I wish we had a culture of nice, big public squares with great architecture and plenty of cafes and benches in the US. I know there are some on the East Coast, but here on the West Coast, we just have the occasional little park :( Every single such square we saw in Lisbon was lovely.

The Estufia Fria, as mentioned above.

The National Tile Museum! Sounds boring, but it was both interesting and super impressive.

Gulbenkian Museum. Now this is how insanely rich dudes should spend their money: collecting massive amounts of art and then putting it all on display in a museum in perpetuity after their deaths. Great collection of Egyptian, Near Eastern, Chinese, Japanese, and European art, plus a stunning though small-ish Lalique collection.

Mostly though we just wandered around, which is honestly my favorite thing to do in a new to me city, and while the hills are punishing, Lisbon is a great city to wander in.

Most delicious things I ate:

Gotta agree with food tour guy, it was the Mantegiaria pasteis de nata for me.

Meat sushi??? It was cooked, but it still felt like a great sushi innovation.

Chocolate cake from Landeau. Life-ruiningly good. All other chocolate cakes will pale in comparison.

Some astonishingly good Indian/Nepalese food, somewhat surprisingly. Some of the best naan I’ve ever had, and their dishes were presented so beautifully. Like, I like Indian food just fine in America! It’s basically always tasty! But this was on another level, and still comparable in price to the nicer Indian restaurants in the States.

Some of the best roasted chicken I’ve ever had in my life. Very simply prepared, but so tender and tasty.

Ate at one (1) fine dining restaurant, and damn, okay, that’s what the prices are about. I had duck breast and the dish as a whole was just exceptional.

Some very good gelato at the packed and bustling Time Out Market. Such a cool spot, I honestly wish every city had a version of this. (I know LA kind of does, but I like that the Time Out Market is curated.)

At the other end of the spectrum, a suspiciously cheap restaurant near our hotel that nonetheless had phenomenal food. Straightforward Portuguese with a twist food, presented beautifully with pretty generous portion sizes. Seriously though, it was so cheap I actually felt kind of guilty about it. Also they were cash only?? And had weird hours?? So maybe it’s a front? But the hotel recommended it and they’ve been in business for 50 years! So whatever, if it is a front, thank you to whatever mob boss is supporting their relative’s culinary dreams. Anyway, best chocolate mousse and sangria I’ve had to date, and the mains were good too. Truly felt like we got away with something eating mains, drinks, and dessert for two for 36 euros.

Our hotel brought us fresh pastries for breakfast every morning, and the chocolate croissants were especially delicious.

Okay, I know ginjinha is traditional and all here, but. Listen. It tastes like especially alcoholic cough syrup. (The booze-soaked cherry included in the shot glass was good tho) The white wine port I had at the suspiciously cheap restaurant, on the other hand, was absolutely delicious.

[stars-in-a-jam-jar]

[JUMPS IN YOUR INBOX] YOU! KEEP TALKING.

Saw your analysis post information Marble Sky and was incredibly intrigued by how well you connected details in the story. I hadn't caught the detail of Holly presumably being an incredibly important member of his species because of his addition to The Vault. That's a very nice catch. Additionally, I do think you're right about the Vault's function being long-term preservation rather than a holding place for people about to be killed. Holly's obviously been there long enough to put down literal roots and has been onserved to be peaceful enough that Ward was placed with him for co-habitation.

Not only does that imply that Sculptors cares about his subjects not killing each other, but he also has found through rooting around in Ward's brain that humans are social creatures and need social interaction to maintain vitality. If he has plans to kill Ward, it wouldn't make sense for him to place him with another inmate, giving him a "roomie" suggests that he plans to keep Ward long-term, and in fair mental condition. The same applies to Holly as well. Nobodies stopped him from growing plants in the Vault, despite him obviously being captured and under surveillance. If we're to assume that proximjty to vegetation is important for teegardians (tbh its important for humans too, but I digress) then it can be assumed that they're trying to keep him sane as well. Not for anything good, mind you, but it implies Sculptor isn't a "mad" scientist but rather a thorough and clinically practical one.

I have Thoughts about other aspects of your analysis (positive ones prommy) but this ask is very long. Anyway A+ analysis you forced me to overcome social anxiety to brain dump in your inbox haha

Thank you♡♡♡♡♡

I love when a scientist who's Objectively A Bad Guy is also Objectively A Good Scientist, it makes everything feel so tactile, if that's the way to describe it. "Some of you will die be horrifically traumatized and violated by weird information scraping biotech. But that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."

There seems to be established protocols around the situation with the humans. 'We found a primitive spacecraft with creatures inside.' 'The edible kind?' Ward says he feels like they're being watched. Ecliptica warns Alcor not to bite Oscar because he doesn't know where he's been. These Are Very Organized People, and because we the audience are more inclined to lean into Oscar's POV than Ward's on account of wanting to see Oscar successfully woo this big scary alien, we don't notice how Fucking Terrifying That Organization Is. An organization facilitated by Sculptor's deeply unethical science because final leadership defaults to Ecliptica due to her being the biggest and strongest.

Like. Like the Echolocators a curious species, but in a universe where they are some of the most dangerous things in space, so everyone, especially high ranking officials like Sculptor and Ecliptica, just confidently takes what they want. The hierarchy within their own colony is functionally the only thing that gives any of them pause. When Ecliptica is testing how far Oscar's trust in her not being a danger to him goes, Alcor fearfully scurries out of his arms because 'Oh shit, the moon is getting up in my space, I gotta get out of here.' and he looks on anxiously as she picks Oscar up because Oscar is his fun big dude who tastes like a great snack when he bites him and has this cool music stuff in his headphones. It's perfectly fine for Alcor to crawl all over and cling to Oscar, but suddenly Oscar is up close and personal with the most dangerous thing in Alcor's life and he just stands next to Ward anxiously flicking his tail around.

I have an idea mostly based around uhhh nothing I guess that it's not that female Echolocators are rare or anything, it's that they're Extremely Territorial and very likely to fucking Kill one another.

[toastess-with-the-mostess]

For the ship questions post, I have two ships. Firstly, 4 and 6 for pre-relationship, 2 for general, and 10 for love, for Panya, because *obviously*

And the second one is just 1, 4, and 5 for general for the crack ship Larmina and Zora (I just picked randomly which drule twin to use lol)

you fell into my trap and now you are stuck listening to my panya rambling YOU FOOL This got super long lol, stuff is under the cut Here's the post we're referencing

Yellow for Panya, Purple for Larmina/Zora

Pre-Relationship

4. Who felt romantic feelings first? Anya did! It was two years after they reconnected on Arus and right before the team got split up because of Wade. She never said anything because she was scarred she'd lose the special closeness they had, and because Pidge was crushing on Lance at the time lol

His crush ends after The Incident, since Pidge dedicated himself to getting back black lion, and Anya's crush takes a back burner while she makes sure Allura doesn't turn into a vegetable because of her depression. Around three years later, though, Pidge starts crushing on her in turn because she had come to visit them on Earth instead of Allura (she got dragged into royal business) during the holidays. Something about Anya laughing with the streetlights reflecting off her eyes and the snow that reminded him of home really got to him. Likewise, seeing Pidge still have so much life in him and his general excitement to have her near again brought that crush back into focus for Anya. Neither of them would act on it until like another 3 years though

6. If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think? Pidge would brush it off, he doesn't believe in destiny or ghosts or anything mystical that's part of a greater force. Anya already believes they're soulmates, but not in the romantic sense. Soulmates to her are just people who are meant to keep crossing each other's path, and that has happened at least 3 times with Pidge

General

2. Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like? No official first date, as in they went out somewhere, but what they consider their first date is when they both spent a bunch of time together in the Royal Archives. Only Arusian royalty and their advisors are allowed in, so Coran gave Anya a key for the door, and Pidge has snuck in there a lot before because he's not going to be kept from information period. It'd had been a long day for them both and the two wanted to spend some alone time together, so they agreed to meet in the archive, where almost nobody else was allowed in. Inside the archive was a nook hidden by the ceiling tall bookcases, it had a small couch with a lamp and coffee table. Neither of them knows who set it up, but they brought over some blankets and electric kettle and mugs just to sit and cuddle with each other. And that was how they liked it, a moment of peace together doing whatever they wanted in each other's presence

1. Who initiated the relationship, and how did it go? It was probably Zora tbh LMAOO Larmina holds grudges for a LOOONG time, and she wasn't over their joyride in the city, especially because as royalty they should know better. Eventually they do play nice and Zora has liked Larmina's spark from the start, so she just bluntly asks her out. Larmina takes it as a challenge almost, she doesn't see it as a fun time, but they end up getting along great and agree to keep seeing each other.

The Twins aren't actually evil in my eyes, I like to think they're spies who work with Lotor and feed the info back to the rest of the Drule Empire, which had kicked out the 9th kingdom (Lotor's kingdom) after dotu.

4. Were they each other’s first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)? Larmina's first relationship, but not Zora's anything. I see them both as minors, so I'm not going much farther than that, but Larmina now fully understands why her aunt is so attached to the idea of someone really loving her in their relationship

5. What’s their height difference? Age difference? In the comics they look to be the same height, but I've always hc'd that the ladies of the team to be taller than their respective group (except Anya she got the short end of the stick, literally) Larmina is taller than Zora but actually younger than her. In dotu I know they gave the Drule's ages that go into the centuries, but I can't see that without some serious physical changes, so the twins are about as young as the cadets (Zora 19-20, Larmina 18)

Love

10. Do they prefer verbal or physical affection? This is actually kind of tough, at least for Pidge Anya prefers physical affection, she wasn't given a lot of verbal affection before either, but something about feeling the touch and warmth of another person makes her feel so happy For Pidge I guess he's the same, he's probably used to getting told how smart he is and things related to that because of his genius. When he gets physical affection though, it surprises him, it's really only Hunk Lance and Allura that are physically affectionate with him, so now that Anya is getting a lot more touchy as his partner it's like he can't get enough. Even if they're in the same room doing separate things, one of their limbs has to touch somehow or else he'll get dramatic. Truthfully, it's because of his last relationship that ended abruptly and horribly, her touch reminds him that she isn't going anywhere, especially after he let himself romantically care for and get into a relationship with someone again.

Okay, finished Earthlings. (Spoilers Ahead!)

That was....one hell of a book. Reading it right after Life Ceremony, I feel like it's a combination of a lot of her short stories. She writes a lot on themes of society and how we fit into it and how people on the edge keep their individuality instead of conforming...Earthlings is the culmination of all that, I think.

It's a very dark book, full of difficult topics like CSA, incest, child abuse, and potentially mental illness (depending on how you view it). The MC and her companions are either truly aliens who reject society entirely in order to assume their natural states, or very sick people who go too far in rejecting society and resort to cannibalism when they can no longer lean on the structures around them (not able to steal food from neighbouring houses, etc).

It's kind of like a dark counterpart to Convenience Store Woman, where the MC rejects society's expectation for her to marry and get a real career in order to continue a job she loves that's looked down upon. The MC here is an abused child who believes she is an alien with magic powers (whether she really is is up to you to judge, I think) and attempts to be brainwashed into "The Factory" so that she can live happily as an Earthling...until she can't carry on with the ruse anymore and is forced to reject her humanity.

This book really examines how much you can reject societal norms (tbh I think I said that about Convenience Store Woman too), and examines those norms as well and asks whether they deserve to be respected. For example, after being sexually assaulted by her teacher, the MC realizes that a "norm" is for adults to ignore the illegal goings-on around them and disbelieve anyone who questions their rosy view of life. Later on, this leads her to encourage her husband to (attempt to) commit sex crimes because "adults are happy to ignore illegal things and that's just what I'm doing."

Murata's work asks, how much can we throw away before we cease to be human? We can eat wild plants instead of store-bought vegetables (as in her story Eating the City), we can refuse to marry or have babies, but can we commit murder? Cannibalism? And what about the crimes others commit within society that go overlooked? Do we value keeping the peace more, or keeping our children safe?

Anyway, excellent book. Going to be thinking about it for a while!

BABY'S BREATH / Flash Fiction (~400 words)

AUTHOR'S NOTE: kinda love this piece tbh!!!

TW: themes of grief/loss

=====

The earthy scent of fresh produce and flowers dominated the atmosphere of the farmer’s market. Every corner I turned, I was surprised with a vivid palette of berries, vegetables, perennials, and people— so many people. It was a tad overwhelming, to say the least. I felt as though I was about to drift away with the breeze, like my spirit was being carried throughout the plaza whilst feelings, smells, and sights alike overloaded my senses.

“Pardon, ma’am, but do you need assistance?” I heard a voice question, snapping me out of my daze. I turned around and found myself locking eyes with a sweet old man carrying a basket of flowers. He smiled brightly, and radiated youth in contrast to the wrinkles that littered his face. “Are you asking me?” I asked him. He nodded. “Yes, ma’am, please let me know if you have any questions,” He chirped. I neglected to respond to him— instead, I surveyed the rows of planters in front of me, inspecting each bouquet, trying to get a sense of what spoke to me. In the back, I noticed a small bouquet of some dainty baby’s breath, with its miniature ivory petals swaying in the wind. They were so small and delicate— I always felt that they carried feelings of hope and new beginnings. I gently rub the petals between my fingertips, frowning as they wither away in my soft grasp. I grab the bouquet and make my way towards the old man. “These, please.” I said, pointing to the bouquet. He rung me up and bid me a good day.

With the bouquet in hand, I sauntered blocks down the road with little observation of my surroundings. Upon arrival at my destination, I entered through the steel gates, crossed the gravel paths, and settled in front of a engraved slab of rock embedded in the dirt. The engraving read in all caps, “Beloved daughter, cousin, niece, and friend. May she rest in peace.” I read that over a few times before dusting off the dirt that accumulated in the engraved letters. Then, while resting on my knees, facing towards the gravestone, with my palms together, I prayed. I prayed and I sobbed. My tears stained the dusty stone, or rather, they cleansed it. When I regained my composure, I gently placed the bouquet of baby’s breath on top of the gravestone, where it would not cover any of the lettering. Wiping my tears on my sleeve once more, I stood up.

And with that, she bid me a good day.

Maple, fireside, Bonfire, cranberry <3

hi hi mai!! thank you so much for sending in an ask :3 i hope you're doing well over there!

maple - is there a hobby/skill that you've always wanted to try but never did?

probably art, specifically digitally! i bought a tablet to try it out but like most things with my adhd brain, i lost motivation and didn't start. i always think how nice it would be to be able to draw my own things but i just can't find the energy to learn. also drumming! i like to sing, i can play guitar and bass, but the drums was never anything i had easy access to lol.

fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?

tbh i kinda already have my dream wardrobe! cozy comfort is a must but my set styles depend on the day. i can go from summery floral to dark grunge. i like airy pastel shirts but i also like dark hoodies/sweaters/flannels and band/anime t-shirts. the only thing that stays the same are shorts/skinny jeans and vans/combat boots. 99% of the time you'll find me in merchandise whether it be bands, animes, or critical role lmao. so i don't think i have a dream wardrobe. if anything, i just want more money to buy more merch hoodies/sweaters/t-shirts lmao

exactly like this but with band/anime/critical role merch!

bonfire - describe your dream house

- i love quaint spaces! so a small house is perfect for me, or even a condo/apartment (but owned of course). - something with lots of natural light but with curtains for extra protection at night. - an extensive safety system because i'm extremely jumpy at night and it would offer extra peace lol. - one floor is perfect with 2 bedrooms and one and half bathroom. i'm not expecting kids so one room will be the bedroom and the other will be a shared gaming/office space for me and my husband (have y'all seen those shared gaming rooms where there's two desks and one tv and they're all set up with the best equipment and lit up by nothing but fairy lights and neon lamps? yeah that). - the living room may be sparse because we're spending most of our time in the gaming room. but it will be used to showcase all of my books/manga and figures. - and the KITCHEN. i LOVE to cook so i want a large kitchen, probably the largest room in the house next to the gaming room. all french countryside styled. a large fridge, tons of counter space, and a spacious pantry/spice rack. every cooking gadget you can imagine. - maybe a little vegetable garden in the back broken up by seasonal flowers and it's all enclosed by a wooden fence (extra privacy). - the overheads will never be on or used so lamps and fairylights are a must!!

gaming room like this, but with two desks. and big windows that get closed up with black out curtains when it's time to cozy up for the evening. i love the clouds too!! i wish i could do that. and the sofa might be an L shaped one because i love to spread out. also a mini fridge and little shelf for my goblin snacks. the kitchen kinda like this, but lower ceilings are fine. i just want a lot of space and a big stove/sink. l;akjsd;lfj

cranberry - what's one physical feature that you get complimented on?

hmm probably my eyes! i have wide, unknowing ones lmao think of an Espurr from pokemon. they're also so dark they look black but they're just really dark brown lol.

send me autumnal asks!

SEVENTEEN- REACTION: THEIR S/O GETS INJURED (PT. 1)

written for the lovely @honeyylin

again, thank u for being my first request, I will love u eternally (:

I might do the other version still, idk yet!!! but I hope this is satisfactory!!!

(also shout out to my phone for autocorrecting “finally” to “fistula” I hate it here lol)

tw: food, injury

SEUNGCHEOL

• Homeboy would do his damn best to stay focused on whatever task at hand!!!

• he knows you’re a responsible person and you reassured him on the phone that you’re completely fine, but he’s still got the jitters

• but after he zones out for the third time in a row, Jihoon kicks him out of the studio and tells him to go home

• “you’ll do better there, hyung.”

• “But… the songs-“

• “you’re not exactly contributing right now. go home.”

• and so he does, fidgeting the whole way back

• his anxiety is truly at a peak as he reaches the apartment door, practically chewing through his lip as he fumbles with the keys

• he calls your name the second the door swings open

• “y/n?”

• your head pops up from the couch, tired but grinning wildly. “Cheol!”

• the next thing you know he’s wrapping you in a hug, tension finally leaving him

• “I thought you were at the studio.” You frown when he finally moves away.

• “Jihoon made me leave.” He pouts, sitting down on the floor, eyes even with your leg, which is propped up on a chair. “I was too… out of it?”

• “Aw. I’m really okay, Cheol.” You assure again, reaching down to grab his hand, giving it a squeeze.

• “I know, I know. Just… worried.”

• It’s very clear he’s trying not to make a fuss and ask a million questions about the state of your existence, so you pat the couch next to you.

• “C’mon, we’ve got the day off now. Do you wanna finish the show?”

• His face reluctantly breaks into a grin, hopping up to join you on the couch

• and both of you forget about the pains for a little while as you lose yourself in the screen

• it’s peaceful and warm, and finally, you both get a chance to slow down

• maybe you should get injured more often (/j)

JEONGHAN

• he trusts that you’re completely fine, but he does not trust that you won’t somehow hurt yourself again

• he will babyproof the house for the next few days

• “nope, you’re not allowed to chop vegetables. give me the celery.”

• “hey! let me get that, idiot, you’re hurt.”

• “I don’t care. If you want the cat then text me and I’ll get her for you.”

• just generally being a nuisance, you know how it is

• but still, in his babyproofing he does make sure you take your pain meds on time, setting a little alarm on his phone so he can wake you up with a glass of water and your pills

• he also doordashes you your favorite food without announcing like he just says “Steve is on his way with food” and you have to just ponder who Steve is until some guy knocks on your door

• “he paid me extra to say that you’re the love of his life, so…”

• “let’s not and say we did.”

• he always makes sure to order something sweet too (:

• but yeah he’s doing work around the house and forcing you to stay in bed

• tbh it’s like having a very bossy butler lol

• but hey, at least he’s actually doing his own laundry for once!

JOSHUA

• oh my god he drops everything when he gets your text

• it’s literally just “hey josh can I get some help? I hurt myself moving some furniture” and this man goes feral

• you know how someone is so anxious that their brain shuts off and they’re scarily calm??? Joshua.

• he’s at your house in like, five minutes

• and tbh you just wanted him to finish moving the bookshelf so you didn’t have to

• but now he’s gently scolding you while wiping dirt and blood from your leg

• it’s not even that big of a cut but he’s treating it like open heart surgery

• like his hands are so gentle…

• of course he moves the bookshelf after a little more scolding before like,,, making soup like this man would definitely make soup

• like it’s just an annoying cut that’s gonna leave a bruise and this man is making some chicken noodle in the next room over like you’re dying of pneumonia

• it’s some good ass soup tho (:

JUN

• he would not know what to do tbh but he would be excellent company while you waited to heal

• he’d definitely be very panicky but would hide it as best he could!! cuz you’re the top priority!!!

• he’d lurk and when you get up he’d be like “do you need anything? aspirin? food?” and you’re just like “Jun I’m good I just need to go to the bathroom”

• he definitely knows exactly what you like, and does his best to do things like keep your favorite show on, or make you tea.

• (even when you assure him that you’re fine)

• his help is very random and antsy but still excellent lol

• and the fact that he’s constantly here to help really proves how much he cares about you and your health (:

HOSHI

• oh god, this man

• he’d be all over the place

• overreacting and then scolding and then just zoning out and then he falls asleep smh.

• this man would get out a chainsaw and ask which door you stubbed your toe on so he can destroy it lol

• but alas, no chainsaw is around (thank goodness)

• and so Soonyoung just gets to blame everything else while you’re replacing bandages or whatever

• like, he’s going on about how “just because they have safety stickers on ladders doesn’t mean they’re safe!!” and you’ll hold out your hand for gauze and he’d instinctively just grab it and put it in your hand even though he’s on a bit of a rampage

• he also most definitely is the kind to get a stuffed animal for when you’re hurt lol like every time you get sick or injured badly he gets you a bear that says “get well soon” on its stomach or on the heart it holds in its hands and eventually you just have a pile of creatures encouraging you to be healthy

WONWOO

• this man is just. excellent

• he’s caring without being demeaning, and is just so so so helpful

• he comes home and sees your arm bandaged up and just asks what happened

• and you tell him the story and he tries to hide his smile when he hears about your dumb mistake

• but still he’s patient and willing to help!!

• it’s like he could read your mind on what you needed and would just materialize behind you with a drink or an aspirin or something

• and he’d stay in the room with you whenever he could, reading or texting silently

• it was nice having such a caring presence next to you, even if he didn’t chat much

• I mean, the quiet helped you nap more easily too

• and somehow whenever you woke up, he was still there, keeping an eye on you

• if he had to leave for whatever reason he’d gently wake you up to let you know he was headed out and to call him if you need anything

• he makes the healing process peaceful (:

WOOZI

• when he hears the news he’s just. suddenly very very quiet

• like this man is out of it.

• he brushes off the others when they ask what happened, and makes it through the day fairly uneventfully

• when he gets home you almost don’t hear him, only noticing when he shuts the door

• “Jihoon?”

• He beelines straight to you before wrapping you in a huge hug. big tight hug.

• definitely swaying back and forth a little <3

• but you’re just like “woah ok bud what’s up with you”

• and one look at his face says everything

• it’s just been so much: the stress of a comeback, dealing with the managers and the other boys, and then his s/o gets hurt on top of that?

• maybe he needs a break too

• and so you both take one

• I hope you like sleeping lol

• basically you guys take the next few days to recover, just ordering food up and watching shows in silence before falling asleep together on the couch or even the floor once (hey the rug is soft!!!)

• and one day you wake up to find your injury no longer aching

• and the bed is empty next to you

• so you get up and peer down the hallway

• and Jihoon is in the kitchen, playing soft classical music while cutting vegetables

• he notices as you approach, silently offering you a carrot stick

• “I see you’re feeling better too?”

• he nods.

• you both spend the rest of the morning waking up again, cleaning the house and making food, Jihoon’s energy and personality slowly coming back too

• maybe your break wasn’t as much of him taking care of you, but you taking care of each other

• almost as if you’re tied together somehow, your ups and downs mutual

• either way, after that you’re both a lot more aware of the balance and way of recovery you two have

• and you can predict things in advance for next time!

💕✨create the illusion of hanging out with your mutuals tag game��💕

are you a morning person? unwillingly, but yes 😂

ideal breakfast? eggs, waffles, yogurt, orange juice

favorite warm drink, and how do you take it? hot apple cider, best drunk on a crisp fall day after picking apples

sit in the sunshine or the shade? shade in the summer, sunshine in the spring/fall or on cooler summer days (reading in the sunshine is an absolute DELIGHT)

favorite baked good? homemade bread; especially if it’s fresh out of the oven and has jam or butter on it

a song or album that makes you feel at peace? Pavane by Shelley Phillips, because my dad used to play it at night when we were kids and so I hear the opening notes of the first song and I am out like a light

take a walk with your friends or read a book next to a friend on the sofa? depends on my mood, but both sound lovely!

what tasks do you gravitate to when making a meal with others? depends on the dish, tbh. if it involves vegetables and such I like to cut and prepare the vegetables. if it’s bread, I’m generally in charge of that, and so I take point on mixing ingredients and making sure each step is completed properly.

a chore that if someone completed it for you you’d love them forever? laundry, hands down

favorite board/card game to play with friends? Munchkin or Rummy. both turn into bloodbaths, and I can be the competitive sort.

what kind of snacks/candy do you want at a movie theater? anything BUT Junior Mints. I had to eat those for years because of my braces, and I can’t stand them now. weirdly enough, the “snack” I like best at movie theaters is the ice in my drink 😂

bar with live music or bar with a pool table? live music

go-to wine/cider/beer/cocktail? I don’t drink, so this doesn’t really apply I think 😅

go-to bar food? I also don’t go to bars, so I’m skipping this one as well

are you tending the fire, looking at the stars, or singing campfire/folk songs? all three, at once (but probably spending more time singing folk songs)

a favorite Scripture verse or prayer? this prayer by Thomas Aquinas, which I love dearly and directly inspired major parts of my fantasy world

are you the person begging to go to just one more bar/sing one more song, the person staying up late talking about love and the universe, or the person who fell asleep hours before anyone else? ...the person who fell asleep hours before anyone else 😴 All philosophizing has to be conducted during business hours or in the early hours of morning, because I will be the first to wake up 😂

okokok. so not just joe, but now gem is going off? why cant my favorites have a break? so i come and offer backstory/background: gem has a small vegetable plot in either the greenhouse or a nearby park and she will host picnics for friends and such. she also always has too much to eat on her own, so she just gives the veggies away. many times pearl has left with an armful of vegetables and promises of more.

We need some soft Gem tbh.

The first person she gave a vegetable to was Pearl and that’s how she was introduced to their friend group. Pearl got the vegetable and was like “You’ll love the others.”

Once they were all good friends they would stop by the greenhouse to see if Gem was there. The others who worked in the greenhouse would look at Gem and her friends and be really soft because their friendship is so wonderful.

One time Gem got really sick and couldn’t take care of plants so Grian promised to check on them. He didn’t really know what he was doing so he dragged Mumbo along. Mumbo also didn’t know what he was doing but refused to admit that. They ended up asking one of the other students what they should be doing because the singular braincell that they share must’ve been on vacation at that moment.

The greenhouse is also very nice to visit late at night when no one is there. If someone is stressed,sad, or simply needs some alone time, they’ll text Gem and ask for the keys. Being able to just lay in an empty pile of dirt is surprisingly peaceful. However, falling asleep is a bad idea, as Iskall discovered the bad way. Freshmen don’t take finding a random man asleep in a pile of dirt very well. Campus security also doesn’t take it well.

i got info abt her likes on her wiki page (careful! there’s spoilers!)

and yosano is a queen and no one can tell me otherwise

the doctor is in the house (quite literally)

going grocery shopping was an okay chore in your opinion

it honestly depended on your mood or whatever kind of shit happens when you go shopping

cause like something always, always happens whenever you go do groceries

sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad, and sometimes it’s just plain weird

one time some weirdo proposed to you in the middle of the store asking for a double suicide

he was good looking you’d admit but it’s not like you’d ever see him again

or so you thought

a n y w a y s

every so often, you’d run out of real person food in your apartment

you mostly survive off all of the leftover bakery treats and ingredients—which works out pretty well actually—but bakery supplies unfortunately also run out quite often

and also unfortunately, one time when both fukuzawa & ranpo took a visit to Sakura’s, fukuzawa argued that “no you can’t live off sweets for the rest of your life”

ranpo was scandalized and scrambled to cover your ears

you guys were at it for a while

in the end you sided with fukuzawa causing ranpo to go off about “betrayal from the people he cared most abt” or smth like that

you guys were okay again after bribing him with sweets :)

for bakery supplies you usually have them delivered bc you order them in large quantities bc ahaha no way were you gonna carry like 15-20 50 pound bags of flour no way

when days like those happen, you close up the bakery early so you aren’t walking home when it’s too dark

you scheduled it to happen every first saturday of the month

on those saturdays, you close at 5 instead of at 8

currently, you were at the grocery store looking for basic cooking ingredients such as proteins, vegetables, fruits, and most importantly, snacks

ranpo’s been rubbing off on you

the sun was starting to set and you were walking home with your two bags of groceries when shit went down

tbh you were kinda expecting it cause your grocery run was peaceful for once

but what you weren’t expecting was a wack-a-do to appear out of goddamn nowhere right when you were opening the side door to get to the staircase up to your apartment

like honestly

let a woman do her own thing

the man who grabbed you tried to covered your mouth so you couldn’t scream but you didn’t exactly make it easy for him

you kicked and thrashed around even using the grocery bags—that were somehow still in your hand—as a weapon and the man struggled but he was still bigger than you and was able to bring you to a nearby alley

he reeked of alcohol and you spotted a wedding band on his left hand

not that you cared about the detail in the moment

you kicked him in the groin and in response he let you go only to fall on broken glass that was in the alley way

using the wall to help yourself up, you grabbed a nearby wooden stick and struck him right on his back

your attacker fell and you immediately turned on your heels to escape only to fall back down on the hard cold ground once again

you lift your face up and look back to see the man holding onto your ankle

grabbing a shard of glass—cutting yourself in the process— you begin to swing it at him only for him to easily grip your wrist and stop you

you get ready try and kick him in the groin again but you’re interrupted as your attacker gets sucker punched and flies to wall

you look up to see your savior and you’re blessed to see a beautiful woman, probably not that much older than you are—she’s probably around ranpo’s age— donning a white long sleeve button up, a matching black necktie, knee length skirt, and gloves, along with tights, red heels, and a pretty butterfly clip in her short black hair

but what you really notice is her eyes

ranpo’s eyes were pretty but you like hers just a bit more

you’ve always liked the color magenta

the pretty lady holds out her hand and you take it graciously and thank her as she helps you up

as that’s happening, your attacker gets himself onto his feet and his groan catches both of your attention

he struggles to stand and the pretty lady simples saunters over to him and delivers an uppercut knocking him out cold

you’re stunned and you breathe out a “thank you” making her turn towards you

she notices the condition you’re in

bleeding scrapes on your hands, arms and legs, small rips in your clothes like your tights, blouse, and skirt, and the ruffled state of your hair and clothing

she asks if you live nearby and you tell her that you own the bakery that’s one or two buildings away

when you tell her that, it clicks in her mind that you must be the bakery girl ranpo’s been talking about and the friend fukuzawa was cat sitting for

it’s been abt two weeks since ranpo and fukuzawa first met you and since then, they’ve seen lucky in the office plenty and the boxes of your signature sweets even more

if those two trust you, she has no reason not to

she smiles at you, holds out her hand for you to shake, and introduces herself as the doctor of the armed detective agency

your eyes widen and you smile back at her shaking her hand

“ah! you must be yosano-sensei then! ranpo-san and fukuzawa-san have talked about you! it’s so nice to meet you! im (l/n) (y/n)!”

“they’ve talked about you too, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you (y/n)”

after that exchange she insisted on bringing you home to treat you wounds which you told her it wasn’t necessary

she gave you a pointed look and that was when you realized what state you were in

you sighed and weakly gave in to which she only grinned at

before leaving the alley she walks over to the unconscious man and pulls out his wallet for some sort of identification and home address as you try to see if there’s any groceries still salvageable

after texting the details to kunikida, yosano turns to you poking around the now ruined grocery bags

she simply rubs your back and tells you that the both of you could go buy more groceries together as she was meaning to get some anyways; she even said she’ll pay for you

you refused obviously but she, unknowingly, used the same tactic fukuzawa used with you

“so you’re saying you don’t need groceries?”

“...”

*cue an eyebrow raise from our resident queen*

“...you agency members don’t like making things easy for me huh.”

you gave in reluctantly and at this point you don’t even know why you try negotiating with them

and that’s only three of them

apparently, she was on the other side of the street on the way to buy groceries for the agency when she noticed different produce items on the other sidewalk leading to the alley and she went to check out what happened

ironically, the way to the grocery store from the agency makes you go past Sakura’s but she didn’t realize it until after the two of you had met

before you know it, the two of you are in your apartment kitchen as she cleans and patches up all of your wounds

as she does so the two of you have a little girl talk

you find it quite comforting bc since you opened up Sakura’s you haven’t really had the chance to connect to many people much less other women

you definitely see yosano as your cool, loving, badass older sister

she thinks you’re adorable and agrees with ranpo’s opinion

yup 

that’s right

the opinion that you’re like a little kid </3

you called it a betrayal and all she did was laugh at you <//3

“awhh that’s really cool yosano-sensei!—MFPH?!?”

*squishing your cheeks the same way ranpo did* “ranpo-san was right (n/n)-chan, your cheeks are squishy!”

“?!”

after that small fiasco, the two of you talked some more and bonded over your love for flowers, japanese sweets, and much more!!

you even made a date to have a girls day to go shopping and eat out!

you’re internally squealing a bit bc it’s been a while since you’ve gone shopping

yosano notices and she giggles behind her hand not saying anything bc she knows you’ll only throw a fit

the two of you came around the topic of ranpo when lucky passed by

lucky quickly warmed up to the doctor and cozied up in her lap

“i wish ranpo-san was able to meet lucky when he came by the first time, but then again, he’d probably throw a tantrum if i don’t pay attention to him for 5 seconds”

she snorted at that and like fukuzawa, she shared stories abt the slightly older male

“ranpo-san doesn’t know how to ride a train?”

“unbelievable right?”

“for someone so intelligent i expected more from him”

“i’ll be telling that to ranpo-san, (n/n)-chan”

“wha—?! yosano-sensei please don’t!”

like ranpo, she’s also a tease </3

but you love her anyway <3

eventually, she finished patching you up and promised to treat you to a new set of clothes when the two of you go out

“you don’t need to lose a good set of clothes just because of a sleazy man (n/n)-chan! you deserve better!”

you were going to argue that the rips in your clothes were fairly small and could easily be fixed—except the tights—but you stopped in your tracks when you remembered that it was practically useless to argue against an ada member

the two of you walked to the grocery store and bought both of your needed supplies—along with some extra goodies—and then she walked you back to your place bc it was already a bit dark out

but even if it wasn’t, she would walk you anyways

besides, if anything happened to you, she’s 1000% positive that ranpo and fukuzawa are gonna flip the fuck out not that she wont cause she most definitely will

speaking of which

you were drinking a bottle of water as the two of made your way back to Sakura’s when all of a sudden

“(y/n) you do realize that i have to tell shachou and ranpo-san about what happened today right?”

you choked on your water

“yosano-sensei you can’t! if you do they’ll freak! they won’t leave me alone for at least two weeks! one if im lucky!”

“exactly the point”

you just accepted your defeat already knowing that you’d lose

but maybe you can simmer down their anger towards the bastard with sweets and lucky

you arrived at Sakura’s shortly after and after bringing groceries in, you packaged a bunch of pastries leftover from today—bc you closed early—and bc you’re well aware that ranpo doesn’t share any of the sweets you send him with

you even gave yosano her own special box filled with goodies she loves, and a thermos of fukuzawa’s favorite, your special hot honey lemon tea

other than the sweets, you prepared lucky to spend the night at fukuzawa’s

you really really hoped that doing these things would make them calm down

you shivered at the thought of what their responses would be

you felt really bad for giving yosano all these things to carry and that you were keeping her very late

she assured you that she was fine and that if someone tried to mess with her she’d kick their ass

and after exchanging numbers, the magenta eyed queen bid you a good night and walked back to the agency with lucky walking by her heels

arriving back at the agency, yosano was greeted with some concerns asking if she was alright bc she came back from her grocery run pretty late

(she usually goes in the mornings but today was pretty busy so she left in the late afternoon but now it was already dark)

she waved off the concerns and plopped a couple boxes of your signature bakery boxes at ranpo’s desk, the one for her at her own, the last few boxes in the kitchen for any other agent or clerk to grab, placed the thermos on the desk fukuzawa was by, and picked up lucky and handed him to the president

the two males were pleased with what yosano had brought them, and pleased that another agency member had the chance to meet you

fukuzawa was rubbing lucky and ranpo already snacking on treats as yosano expected

but here comes the hard part

or maybe it’s gonna amusing who knows

“i met (y/n) today.”

“we could tell.”

in goes another treat in the green eyed man’s mouth

“would you like to know how?”

“you bumped into each other, had girl talk, made plans to go out, went grocery shopping, and you brought me and shachou presents.”

“great job ranpo-san, you’re almost completely correct.”

this caught the attention of basically everyone bc they knew ranpo was never “almost completely correct”

“we ended up meeting bc she got attacked on her way home from grocery shopping, i treated her wounds, then we had girl talk and did all the other stuff”

ranpo and fukuzawa froze right in their tracks

“i sent all the info of the bastard to kunikida”

“kunikida.”

“yes shachou”

“find out everything about that man and bring it to me and ranpo”

“...yes shachou”

“and yosano”

“yes?”

“text (y/n) and tell her that her cat, tea, and pastries aren’t going to work as a bribe”

just as you finished taking a shower you sneezed

[books-of-cherry]

Hiii i saw that your requests are open. Umm please if u dont mind. Can k request for yuno, langris and william being sick headcanon with their fem/reader? Where they are extra clingy, talkative too honest or something along the lines? Thank you have a good day ahead：）

I don’t mind tbh lol. Have good day too! Sorry if it took so long :]

Yuno

• Yuno hates it when he gets sick because it delays his training or something.

• Yuno does everything by himself and you hate it when he’s being stubborn especially when he’s sick.

• You keep on saying to Yuno that he needs to tone done his training. And yet, he doesn’t listen.

• You knew that Yuno was powerful and he was aiming to become the Wizard King but you didn’t you know that he will go that far.

• You tucked Yuno to bed and he finally gave up.

• You were surprised that Yuno started saying random things. Things that Asta would say.

• Yuno was annoyed by Bell because she was noisy so he just kept Bell in his grimoire? (idk what it’s called)

• He enjoyed your presence. It keeps him at peace.

• He doesn’t want you to leave even though you said you’re going out to get food, he’s being stubborn.

• You gave him the medicine and he makes a disguted face. You knew that he didn’t like the taste of medicine.

• You often tell him stories about him getting sick. You did that for you to make him happy and that didn’t work :P

• Once you check his temperature, he immediately hugged you tightly. He didn’t want to let go.

• Before he slept, he whispered an “i love you and goodnight”

• Both of you are laying on the bed. Yuno sleeping and you looking at the plain ceiling.

• Even though Yuno was in a deep sleep, it was hard to get off him. You finally succeeded and replace yourself with a pillow.

William Vangeance

• You usually stay in his office and watching him work.

• He was overworking himself and that concerns you.

• You told him to stop working and let him take a break for a while.

• He stopped working with his papers but he wanted to check the members of his squad.

• You knew that he cared for his squad but it was obvious that he was tired.

• The next day, his temperature was high. Good thing, he’s not stubborn when he’s sick.

• He enjoys the view of nature since he finds it peaceful.

• He likes to listen to your voice because it’s soothing and calm.

• Even when he’s sick, he’s quiet. The only thing changed is that he’s clingy than before.

• You gave him hugs and he wasn’t that satisfied.

• You sat close to him at his bed while giving him medicine.

• He didn’t show any reaction to the taste. He just simply ignored it.

• After that he talked about his missions and members. You never saw him as a talkative type of person.

• He continued with his rambling until he went to sleep. He was a light sleeper so you did your best to not wake him.

• When you were about to get off his bed, he didn’t let go of your hand.

• You decided it was best to stay with him for the time being.

Langris Vaude

• Langris is the type who doesn’t get get sick easily.

• You were training together with Langris.

• Suddenly, he fainted and you rushed to him.

• You went to a tree and laid him there.

• You came back getting all the things you needed for his fever.

• He looks so peaceful when he’s sleeping.

• When he woke up, he doesn’t want to take his medicine unless it’s cherry flavored.

• That’s why you came prepared, you knew that he was being picky when it comes to these things.

• You find it cute when he’s sick because of how talkative and clingy but you sometimes hate it.

• You knew that his favorite food is cherry tarts but you didn’t expect him to crave for more when he’s sick.

• You prohibited him from training because he can benefit from it and also his surroundings.

A/N: I wonder where his training ground is. Like Offense Spatial magic is way too dangerous.

• Langris talks about the Golden Dawn sometimes. You knew he didn’t want to have long talks but it surprises you that he was being talkative.

• What shocks you the most that he likes talking about his brother and Ms. Finesse.

• He keeps on rambling on about not losing to Finral and so on.

• You sat beside him and continued to listening to him.

• You realized that it’s becoming more quiet and you looked beside you and saw a sleeping Langris.

• He was basically drooling in his sleep. You know that he’s dreaming about cherry tarts or any food since he didn’t eat anything rather than vegetables and soup.

A/N: This is what my head is telling me lol. Hope you enjoyed reading <33

💤🍩🍓🌙🌺🙉📣🎁📎🖍🚇☁️ for miss gracie please

💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep?

it takes gracie about 10/15 minutes of fidgeting and tossing before she can fall asleep, but once she's out she's OUT for good lmao. like. "i once slept through a tornado" "people think im dead when i sleep" "u are not waking me up under any circumstances bestie <3" which is partially why nick has to do the "wake up button" thing every morning bc otherwise she'll sleep thru her damn alarms 😔

🍩 DONUT - favourite sweet treat?

gracie goes absolutely ham for nick's homemade (shortbread!) cookies and has to physically restrain herself from eating them all in one sitting! she has a big sweet tooth in general - she's not super crazy about confectionary but she loves baked goods; cakes and muffins and brownies nd whatnot. i think if she HAD to pick just one treat her spanish side would come out in full swing and she'd have to answer with churros <3

🍓 STRAWBERRY - do they eat their fruit & veg? what is their favourite fruit or vegetable?

gracie was vegetarian/casually vegan for about a year after highschool and still mostly prefers plant based meals ! she loves fruits and vegetables and would be quite happy cutting most meats out of her diet altogether tbh. her favourite fruits are apricots and peaches, while her favourite vegetables are bell peppers and coriander :) yeah she's a cilantro fan sorry haters <3

🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

hm greatest wish currently is the very vague goal of "proving herself" and i guess also um. "making up" for her existence in general, by being the best in her respective field. so i think canonically that just means being Thee best MIV [ever, ideally] lmao, and hopefully making MIV supervisor if she's super lucky. there's not much she wouldn't do for it - she's already closed herself off to most relationships for the sake of her ambitions, and with peace and love to rosy? in a hypothetical scenario where he got in the way of her career i don't think she would choose him unfortunately :( thankfully he seems the last person who would try to do that so ! bullet dodge!

🌺 HIBISCUS - do they have any allergies?!

yes ! gracie is deathly allergic to shellfish 👀 she was hospitalized for it once as a kid after an unfortunate seafood paella incident and now she has to carry an epipen around with her everywhere </3

🙉 HEAR-NO-EVIL - what is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone?

"you're too loud/overwhelming/much"

📣 MEGAPHONE - how loud are they? what do they speak like? got a voice claim?

in case the answer above isn't obvious, she's VERY quiet. kinda similar to kenzie in a way, tho she's a lot more eloquent/accommodating when she does talk. gracie had a significant speech delay as a child and didn't say her first words until she was around 5 years old, because living with ments made her so naturally comfortable with communicating telepathically that there was never any real incentive for her to try. obviously bullying throughout school didn't help either, and so gracie really tries to "make up" for her loud brain by being as quiet as she possibly can be verbally, as if to balance it out yknow? she's educated, well-read and upper class, so she has a fairly sophisticated/formal speech style, but she's not overly wordy - most of her vocabulary is old fashioned, not verbose. ie she'll use somewhat dated words like "ought" "shall" "needn't" etc but she'll avoid 2 dollar works like. idk. "antidisestablishmentarianism" JKDJKDJFK

as for her voiceclaims, the closest i can possibly get is actually inara serra from firefly hehe :) i was gonna mention it during out marathon but i didnt wanna be annoying KJFGKJFGKJ

🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?

gracie's love language is gift giving so she LOVES finding her loved ones the perfect present. she's probably the best person in chicago to get gifts from because she has an insane budget AND she has a literal notes app doc keeping tabs on who wants what for birthdays/christmas/etc. ironically though she's not a big fan of receiving presents - her zero makes it SUPER obvious if she finds a gift disappointing, so she prefers to save everybody the awkwardness lmao. unless its a handmade gift like sally's painting which she'll always cherish, the ideal strategy for gracie is usually just straight up asking her what she wants and then telling her exactly what she's getting, so she doesnt have time to expect anything KJFKJKF. alternatively the safest bet is to take her out and let her pick her own gift, since she's fussy and buying her clothes/perfume/jewelry is always a gamble KJKJGDFKGDFJ SHE'S SPOILT OK!!!! but on the other hand she doesnt expect or need material gifts and greatly prefers thoughtful acts of service or being taken out somewhere nice <3

📎 PAPERCLIP - a random fact.

gracie has had three "official" boyfriends prior to ambrose. her first was a boy in her french class whom she was with for over a year when she was 15/16 before um. completely ghosting him after the hope incident 😔 next was a huge fuckboy vocalist in an indie garage band who nobody could believe was her boyfriend JKDFKJFDKJ she was about 18 at that time, and he cheated on her after about 6 months of dating so she left him. her most recent ex was maybe 8 months before mb starts? he was an art conservationist she'd worked with at the chicago art institute. he was a good nice boy who liked her a lot but she was so emotionally unavailable for him that he ended up leaving her after about five months so 🤪 she's a lot like nick in that she mostly sucks at romance lmao !

🖍️ CRAYON - what advice would you give to them?

"don't date your teacher" JKFDGKJFGDKJFGDFGD

🚆 TRAIN - what is their answer to the trolley problem?

answered here !

☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon

gracie and ambrose both gain greater appreciations for the other's interests after they start dating 🥺 gracie has never considered herself a big reader and usually only gets through four of five books a year, so she def develops a greater admiration for literature through rosy and loves listening to him talk about books. and vice versa i doubt rosy knew or cared much for art before meeting gracie, but eventually sort of learns to look at art the way she does and loves seeing her analyze and work through a piece ❤❤❤

[a-god-in-ruins-rises]

15, 19, 21, 26, 29

15) rank the methods of death: freezing, burning, drowning

i think burning and drowning are competing for first. i mean they both sound really painful/unpleasant but they have the benefit of being dramatic/aesthetic. freezing is probably the most relatively painless/peaceful. i just imagine falling asleep shivering and never waking up. burning glorious so i guess it will take first place.

19) the veggie you dislike the most?

probably beets. i think i tried beets when i was a kid and have never tried them again since. i don't like cucumber raw either. but i love pickles. other than those i can't think of any other vegetable i don't like.

21) a number that weirds you out?

17. i dunno. it just doesn't seem right. it feels like it doesn't belong. like another number should have its place but it killed it and took it over and erased all memory of the previous number but there's a lingering impression of something else.

26) how’s your spice tolerance?

pretty high. higher than anyone else i personally know. i love spice.

29) preferred pasta noodle?

i'm a big fan of the classic spaghetti tbh. i will say i like angel hair too which is apparently a controversial opinion. still prefer spaghetti though.
