quick sanya doodle/redraw (???)

sorry about the low quality pic gang due to some unfortunate circumstances i only have a screenshot of this drawing

[atiianeishaunted]

some canon stfuf about the sonder cast bwaa :33 you can have ur own hcs btw id love to see them <3 but!! yeah,, i feel liek infodumping a teensy bit hrgfrhfh mainly cuz im not in an art mood 2day sigh doesnt include everyone bc this is only stuff i can think of off the top of my head atm but :3

lance: canonically bisexual, might be a trans man (havent decided? its honestly up 2 the audience, could go either way), was a huge moviestarplanet player when he was a kid, would probably play dress to impress methinks, for the LONGEST time was convinced something was going on between allura and keith and was insanely jealous and bitter, has the worst gaydar ever TRUST, figured out he was bisexual while playing msp but it only got worse when he met keith and hes really pissed about it

keith: gay as hell but hasnt exactly processed or accepted it (just knows hes scared of women) (for many reasons), transgender (will respond to anything besides feminine pronouns n such), most likely did his own piercings dont ask how or why, allura is the only woman thus far hes comfortable with because she reminds him of a certain someone, allura and him r huge gossips, jack of all trades but really does not know what hes good at like he doesnt know a thing about himself (one time lance challenged him to try out his sniper bc they got into an argument and keith was surprisingly good at it, he was evidently more confused than lance somehow?) (think that one family guy audio where s liek "how r u doing that" "i dunno ;;; O_O"), if you ask him ANYTHING about himself he will most likely just say "yeah i dont rememebr" or "I dont know", often talks very old school and "retro" (in lance's words), surprisingly a decent cook/baker, not as good as hunk of course but can keep up, despite this it was revealed in a conversation with hunk that keith was eating glass among other inedible things while going crazy in the desert (his feral era <3), can diy explosives among other things and no one acknowledges it because it scares them, this boy is very autistic, audhd in fact, im right and you all know it allura: lesbian but doesnt realize it just yet, would probably love the idea of neo/xenopronouns she'd find them whimsical, surprisingly prefers moths over butterflies (mainly after a talk she and keith had one night), huge gossip and loves romance but not in a "i need to date a man" way but "i want to play cupid" (think mabel from gravity falls) (she did have a phase of being boy crazy but that quickly went away when she was brought out of stasis), she loves dressing up but mainly dresses down and more casually because she doesnt go out as much thanks to altea going kaput and all that, she adores gardening and likes to make dyes and such from her flowers, huge diy queen (TRUSTT) she can sew and all that, probably real crafty, keith and allura are close friends and both extremely out of touch with normal human people, she frequently asks him for advice due to their closeness and they just make eachother worse /aff, unironically used wicked in a sentence and was very proud of it (lance almost threw keith out of an airlock for this one), not the best cook but tries her best and is fairly confident with her skills (vicecore if you play alchemy stars) (keith almost banned her from the kitchen) (they agreed on supervised kitchen hours)

pidge: aroace and agender, literally a chronically online cosplayer tech nerd, probably has been cancelled multiple times to the point where matthew had to take every piece of tech they had in the house, has doxxed people before, obsessed with vocaloid and anime, wants to get piercings really bad but their parents wont let them, uses any pronouns and if you ask for their gender they will change their answer everytime or answer with something silly like "the void", their favorite person is Hunk but beyond that prefers robots and tech as their companions, keith is their favorite victim of pranks (save him), the only one who isnt scared of keith even a little bit, evil scientist coded, too smart for their own good, not very socially smart and misses social cues but doesnt really care, very picky about the food they consume, iconic 13-14 year old who is a bit too excited at the prospect of having an excuse to build weapons

he keeps trying to figure out a way to communicate with people without hurting them. like damn give him a notepad and a pen im sure he can hold a pen with his telekinesis . or have him carry around a tiny speaker

bobert could understand what hes saying and translate ^__^ juke could also try to be friends with william and bond over not being understood !!

hes good friends with teri too !! she takes the time to understand it and and theyre buddies and and yeah

he probably listens to weird obscure creepy music and plays it out loud to scare people sometimes lmao

opinion: someone SAVE BRO 😭😭 help him poor thang

[ca-suffit]

Sam-reid reblogging posts from nalyra and accusing marius haters of having "surface level takes" is rich. She ignores everything about this blog (your blog which I love!) and deems to punish viewers for not being comfortable with a known pedophile rapist in a book. It's blogs like hers which make me glad to my bones that I'm not part of this fandom any longer. I get chills from the absolute hatred radiating from users like her and nalyra and oh the reciepts you posted about formerly Neilcfreak? I felt sick reading how she lashed out at that black fan who tried to explain to her about A03 and its policies. But sam-reid is a special brand of ignorance and cold indifference towards black fans and fans who have problems with certain areas of the books. She looks down on anyone who doesn't love every word of the books. If she's ok with grooming and rape more power to her; but she so arrogantly asserts that the ONLY reason someone might have problems with topics of RAPE AND GROOMING esp through a lens of pedophilia is because of surface level takes?!

Yikes. BIG YIKES. How someone can be so SURFACE LEVEL IGNORANT is frightening.

She seems to think only in fictional world terms because in the real world, rape happens frequently. Grooming happens daily. So for her to assert that the ONLY reason someone might have issues with a character is because of SURFACE LEVEL TAKES speaks volumes of what kind of human being she is.

Marius triggers victims of rape and grooming for very real reasons, as fiction tends to do, as reading tends to do. That's why we read, and that's why fiction affects us so DEEPLY. So while insensitive and callous racists like sam-reid use SURFACE LEVEL reasons to judge us, the rest of us will be over here, avoiding surface level jerks like sam-reid, on your blog as a safe place. ❤

hi and thank u for ur comment<3

Let me repost a link to the neilcfreak / gorrei / rei thing in case anyone needs to know the context, bcuz this is an important thing to know for ppl engaging with her. This just happened in 2023.

Anyway, I'm glad it feels safe here. I'm always happy to talk about this stuff or let ppl vent about it. The books *are* v triggering and most of the fandom will not talk about it, which doesn't help anyone tbh.

I'm gonna answer most of this under a cut bcuz of the topics, but let me clarify some stuff first. Anyone mentioned here is mentioned for a reason. There's been a real increase on complaints about sam-reid lately, so I hope she's rly paying attention and not just thinking everyone is saying this for no reason. Ppl get harmed when u have a big voice in the fandom and u say things like this and turn ppl against others who are more vulnerable than u, especially when it comes to real trauma issues? I'm gonna get into this more under the cut but just to clarify that this isn't some silly thing or personal bitching about someone for no reason. I don't have any thoughts about sam-reid as a person, idk them beyond posts here. But this same attitude is across all of the big fandom ppl and it trickles down to hurting everyone, which is a big reason why this account is even here.

(I posted these screenshots smaller together but they won't save like that so sry they post long like this)

I'd also like to say that monstersinthecosmos runs with the og white woman fandom bullies from before the show aired. The fact that the same usernames show up supporting each other all the time is never surprising tbh.

Anyway TW for trauma, CSA, abuse

Everyone handles trauma differently, so a lot of what I've seen from the fandom over the years is ppl who handle it like this ^^ insisting it's the only "correct" way bcuz they can't look at it any other way, yet or maybe ever. Since Marius is so tied to childhood sexual abuse, it's always made sense bcuz a) a lot of ppl read these books as kids and b) Anne Rice wrote things in a way that romanticizes abuse. If u have never looked at the characters and/or ur own abuse as an adult, then here we are. Everything is fiction, everything is fun, nothing needs to be "real." Bcuz abused kids disconnect from abuse that same way. Some ppl stay there forever.

I'm not shaming that either. U can't dictate how ppl move thru abuse and trauma. We all do what we do. Everyone who comes into the IWTV / VC stories however it happens prbly comes from trauma. It just sucks that Anne Rice inspired such a dogshit view of the world in ppl that a group that's already ripe for infighting (traumatized ppl) gets made worse bcuz she taught everyone to be loud and wrong and then louder and more wrong. Don't ever look at ur own actions, just shout ppl down!!

The reason ppl tend to dislike book ppl is bcuz nothing is ever discussed. There's this simultaneous mindset of "I'm v smart" but also "I'm never gonna talk in depth about anything." Everyone can see this but u can't ever get *them* to see it. Conversations are impossible. Then they constantly talk down on others like this to keep everything hostile. They have to be "right," so playing up as if their perspective is the only true one and acting as if criticism of Anne Rice or the books is "so mean" bcuz of misogyny or ppl lacking media literacy or "don't they know they're all monsters lol" is the only thing they know how to do.

Traumatized ppl don't like to feel stupid, ignored, and dismissed. These big voices don't come from nothing. A lot of the vampires in the books reflect real responses to trauma, both in their personalities and how they move around each other. We also reflect that. I wish ppl could learn from that more. Unfortunately, we're prbly always gonna be in two camps about it. That's why this fandom tends to remain small no matter how big anything gets. Those who want to speak more on these themes and explore abuse tend to leave, or at least leave a lot of public spaces, bcuz these ppl have set up to always take in new recruits and bully ppl in groups. They're a small number of fans tbh, in all reality, they just look bigger bcuz they work together to build that illusion. They don't individually have the strength to get attention on their own so they gather together to reference each other a lot, recommend each other to whoever (which has now extended to cast and crew as well), and get in more spaces. Then they get to feel more "important" and soothe all the childhood trauma of nobody noticing them then, but doesn't everyone notice them now? Except look at what u did to get there. They don't care tho, everyone they've stepped over is just a "hater" or w/e.

This is why it's crucial to examine these characters and then reflect on urself too and ask if maybe ur the fucking villain sometimes. The answer will surprise u!

LOVEBUG FIGHTING / MOVEMENT GUIDE:

climbing: after getting her powers it's near impossible for andie to continue rock climbing in a way that brings any satisfaction, since her powers fully interfere with it. still, the fact that she did this for years influences the way that she moves and climbs.

she doesn't move in a "crawling" motion, but will tend to mimick the way that someone would freehand climb for bouldering. this typically means following hand placement only after a foot placement has been found and most of her weight being carried in her legs. she'll rarely move both hands and feet at the same time which gives her a much more irregular movement pattern. while moving along a surface she also tends to be much less linear, following more of the swaying seen in climbing/bouldering & shifting to keep her weight near the surface she's climbing on. this is a mix of her still searching for those natural holds—even if they can look far different when the climber has the abilities that she has—and her leading with her hips to throw her momentum in the direction that she's trying to move in, as climbers tend to do.

fighting: we all know that andie doesn't fight in the traditional sense and there are a few key components to how this looks.

shock absorption: lovebug still frequently has to make close contact with her opponents, such as when swinging into them or throwing/flipping them. even these actions, despite involving direct contact, are places that she tries to reduce how much force she's actually using to connect with the other person? i don't have good phrasing for this? the best way i have to show this rn instagram reel of some dancers. the woman is throwing her partner, and she cradles his head as she does so to help protect him. lovebug does this too, including when that person is being thrown directly to the ground (which is usually the case i just don't have like specific video), she's putting herself better her opponent and the concrete. it's about stopping/subduing them, and not harming/knocking them out so even though they're fighting she isn't trying to hurt them at all.

similarly when doing the very classic swinging kick, she bends her knees as contact is being made which gets her up close quickly and knocks the person off balance, but tends not to do too much damage compared to keeping ur knees locked.

im linking some more instagram videos that came across my feed that i saved bc they gave andie vibe

i like this one bc the woman kind of brings the other guy down on top of her? andie would do that. minus the arm bar at the end

this one is kinda flashy but i think works esp in the sense that andie has just phased up through the floor idk

i am also kind of a big fan of this like wrestling move? even though idk how well it works for lovebug

the one handed cartwheel is very andie to me but also the way that a) it starts from a punch from the opponent b) andie could control their fall a little / protect their head

gymnastics: one of the biggest things that lovebug is is a distraction, so there's lots of cartwheels, handsprings, flipping through the air, and other such big distracting movements. it helps that she took years of gymnastics as a kid and that she's extra flexible from her powers stuff like this is both quite natural and effective for her, but also some of her flashiest moves.

swinging: of everything she does, this is probably the most fluid. i really dk how to explain what this is like at all but i suppose it kind of looks like peter in the first ps4 game? when andie first starts out as lovebug she doesn't have any webshooters because she doesn't know how to make them, so she doesn't rely on them as much. she tends to use single zip-lines and swing in wide fluid arcs that cover lots of distance when she's between buildings that she can run on or poles that she can swing on.

phasing: there are actually some tells for when she's about to use this. usually she will brace herself—if someone is coming at her she tends to square her shoulders a little more and bend at the knees slightly, if she's going to run through a wall she'll prep with chin dipped down and tilting her body forward. it comes more fluidly when built into another action like swinging first or if phasing through the floor she'll often dive down. this is something that requires concentration for her to use.

https://www.tumblr.com/musicfeedsmysoul12/732611763732987905/some-people-asked-why-i-have-iideku-as-a-rarepair

Yes! That or extremely ooc and/or fetish stuff.

And some of them feel author didn’t make the fic with them in mind, but didn’t want to go through the trouble of making a backstory for some ocs, so they just put down the first two characters that came to mind!

Not that there’s anything necessarily wrong with that! It’s just a bit annoying if ur trying to find a fic that explores their relationship and is rlly about *them*.

Anyway what I mean is, I totally agree!

Oh agreed.

Don't get me wrong: in a story such as Pacts of Power, I have changed Izuku's personality somewhat due to the circumstances and in some fics having a different personality makes sense. It's just there's that fine line, you know?

Dancing on the fine line is hard, because an Izuku who is raised by someone like All Might would be very different then an Izuku raised by Inko. Or if Hisashi stuck around. Yet, it would still be Izuku. A kind boy who wants to save people with a smile and who loves analysis along with heroes.

Pairings like IiDeku have an influx though of what you did describe. They want to write a fic but don't want to come up with OCs for it so they pick the closest characters they can. It's not even just minor pairings like this but IzuOcha is a frequent victim, as is TodoDeku. It's just we have enough fics of the actual pairings these aren't noticed. I've tried so hard to find a good IiDeku fic that has a nice build up, good characterization and is longer then two chapters. I can't find it because people just... don't write it. Or they have it a harem and Iida gets no attention while Bakugou is everywhere, or Todoroki.

I didn't mind IiTodoDeku for a long time but I'm now sick of it because of how Iida is always an after thought in the fics.

But back to the OOC stuff: I feel as well though people tend to take a lot of fanon interpretations of characters. I got into BNHA through fanfic, and when I started I thought Bakugou would get better. I was proven wrong canonly. But a lot of people tend to still stick to the bullshit. Izuku is often cast as a stuttering shy boy who has such extreme anxiety it's lucky he hasn't quit from it. In reality, Izuku may be nervous and anxious but he's going to throw the fuck down if needed, and has a well of determination. Todoroki is an oblivious boy who doesn't understand things and is a conspiracy theroist in fics, sometimes so oblivious it's actually painful, when in reality he is a bit awkward but he's a good kid with a strong moral code who is intelligent.

So, yeah: I'm tired of no good IiDeku fics or similar pairings fics where it's long, a good plot and IiDeku is the actual pairing, not just an add on. However, it's not just this pairing facing the issues, it's a lot of fics. I have quit so many fics because Izuku s-s-stuttering e-e-very w-w-word like that. Yes, stutters exist. Yes exploring them is cool. But that is so annoying and so wildly OOC when you pair it with Izuku who shies away, tries not to talk to people and is scared of everyone that he's now an OC.

[starberriemilk]

your kromer au sounds banger let me hear the lore!!! (i dont follow u but i saw ur post on my dash and thot it was epic)

OKAY WELL... That's a long story so it'll be under the cut!

While the K corp staff came to save Dante and the sinners, some of the HP bullets leaked out of a misfire onto Kromer, giving her partial healing and stabilization... We know the bullets are more about turning things back to how they were instead of healing, but it was not enough to turn Kromer to how she was before Demian tried to kill her. It only healed her open wounds and regenerated just a bit of her lower body.

K corp security kinda sweeped a whole lot of the dead N corp inquisitors that were killed by the sinners and piled them upon a trash pile somewhere. Including Kromer because looking at how she looked like everyone would assume she's dead.

AND HERE COMES THE CRINGE- I and my partner have that one OC fixer office, but they don't really have any designs or anything yet so you can just pretend it's a random fixer office. The thing is they got a job to secure the N corp corpses, cause I'm sure some people would just. Steal that.

But then they saw Kromer and realized she's still alive, and since she looked in such a bad condition- literally not having any limbs, with blood everywhere, they kinda decided to save her life and take her to their office. They were actually working on some cool prosthetics before, so they kind of, got them on Kromer without her consent. Additional info is that they didn't even know it's The One Who Grips because she looked so different...

So then Kromer woke up with prosthetics and you can tell she was not happy. She lost everything and became the sheer thing she promised to destroy. But this leads to a redemption arc... I feel like at some point, she'd just accept that prosthetics aren't that bad when they're used to making your life better. She'd regret what she did and all... Maybe even Kromer would want to apologize to Sinclair and be friends with him again, just how they were friends when they were kids minus manipulation...

I also have some lore about how she met Aida in this AU since they're girlfriends there, but it's not much in depth. Basically they met in a bar when Kromer was depressed cause of all that stuff with having prosthetics- They hooked up, hook ups became frequent, then they realized they're in love with each other and started dating... And after some years they became parents to a baby girl named Winter :3 (Kromer isn't the best mother but she tries her best)

SO YEAH THAT'S THE KROMER LORE IN THIS AU I LOVE HER

[sokokoko]

These are from @awfulalignmentcharts

I have wanted to fill out alignment charts for so sooo long. I even have some saved on Pinterest that I might get to later

Using my characters from After School Guardians for this <33 I did 10 charts because I don't have self control

Sorry I haven't made proper drawings for everyone yet :((( but these are them. I'm going to rant about my characters and their placements now though🚨🚨🚨

Any good, healthy decisions Ash makes is as a result of him thinking about his father

I was so tempted to put him in doesnt study and it shows seeing as he's proved to be a problematic disaster (see: road trip and living together 😭)

Stormy aces without studying even though she's not much of a brainiac (more of a fashionista type, tbh) because a lot of her youth was spent either surviving or sharpening her mind. She's unexpectedly smart sometimes (kind of sad that it's "unexpected", as if she can't be both beauty and brains). She has photographic memory and commits important details to mind (which really helped her when she was on her own) and I think that'd transfer over to remembering things she needs to ace tests

There's no other way to put it but to say Shadow is a himbo. but!!! he can't completely be blamed? He, Ash, Crystal and Stormy are all non humans getting used to human things so stuff's kind of complicated. Although, it probably makes him look really dumb seeing as the others aren't doing things as silly as him

On the note of them being non human, (Shad a boogeyman, Stormy a siren, Crystal a harpy and Ash an it's complicated) they don't attend school (they'll definitely have their moments where they show up and embarrass the human gang or get into shenanigans) so the studying one is definitely hypothetical

I'd honestly be scared to give some of those guys phones. Crystal would follow instructions on how to use it (probably being guided by one of the humans), Shadow would struggle for 3 months and discover a new feature every other day ("huh?? You can check the weather? I thought this was just a calculator???" "Shadow, PLEASE 😭") Stormy would probably always be getting hers wet/forgetting it's not waterproof and Ash would be the one with the horribly cracked screen, disgusting fingerprints all over or losing his phone frequently (possibly all at once. If so, Zinthia would faint after seeing the "phone" and she isn't phased by many things [execpt Ash being Ash])

It's okay though cuz Zinthia and Alan are our rich kids!! Just buy more phones and ignore what Ash is doing to his current ones 💞

Zinthia steals your wallet only for the thrill of stealing it but doesn't care about money cuz she has her own ✨

Alan will def help u out by holding ur wallet for u but he got his own money so he wouldn't even have any particular intentions. He's not not touching your money cuz he cares about you or your feelings. No, no. Koko is the only one who could be accused of caring about feelings (Shadow too but not in the situation in which you give him your wallet and say he can buy something if he likes)

Crystal's alignment explained wallet wise; she simply doesn't care about material goods (but food is 💯 the way to her heart)

The phone wallpaper one is actually really interesting to me cuz the pairs seem to mostly have the same tastes. Crystal is Nino's guardian, Stormy Alan's, Ash Zinthia's and Shadow Koko's and they're all basically next to each other ("basically" cuz Koko and Shadow deviated, dang it, guys)

The arrows in the thunderstorm one indicate that they'd just be comforting their magic guardians and Alan would use hot coco (never been so glad before that i used Ks in Koko's name 😭✋) while Nino uses his awkwardness

The storm one is funny but Crystal and Stormy are literally reliving trauma so that puts a bit of angst to an otherwise lighthearted situation. Thanks, Soko 🙏 just what the Dr ordered 💞

I felt the need to add something special for Stormy during the road trip. She'd appreciate me letting her have a place at the top <3

Nino and Koko protect the snacks in shifts but show no loyalty/there are no discounts for each other if they both happen to awake at the same time while one is guarding and the other is craving snacks

The urge to say Stormy disappears into to the ocean was so strong but considering the fact that she's a siren that's literal just running away 🤣 so Nino gets to avoid his problems through cryptidhood

Im crying at how Ash's placements literally tell a story

And Alan's "aesthetic" wallpaper exclusively means he goes through rotations of pictures of stars. Because he is obsessed with them by virtue of his family and their history. I won't get into that just like I won't get into what Ash is because that is a whole Thing™️™

Also, Alan is not meek, that's just the drawing. He's more of an intelligent, dedicated and composed person. Crystal might seem a bit similar to him because they had some similar answers or in how they are studious, but she is quiet and stoic in her intelligence and has a bit of a superiority complex towards the others at first. Alan just tries to wrangle these heathens he's been stuck with (read: everyone but Koko and occasionally Shadow if he doesn't get attacked in conversation. Despite how silent and level headed she is most of the time, Crystal gets hella argumentative with Stormy.)

Some extra tips for the crowd with no ac:

At night, get as much cool air (or like not-boiling air) into your house as you can. At around 10am, SHUT ALL YOUR WINDOWS, draw your curtains, etc. I know the breeze feels good but it’s pulling heat into your house. Reopen windows at around 5-6pm, and get the cooler air. This will feel absurd but trust me it works.

Fans going in a closed environment are adding heat to the room. They help ur sweat evaporate and cool you down if pointed at you, but turn them off when you leave the room.

Put a bowl of ice water behind a table fan and sit in front of it, it will cool you off. (Be warned this does increase humidity slightly)

To sleep, if you are in a house go to the lowest floor. It will be cooler and easier to sleep there. Balconies are also good for this if they are safe!

You can put your sheet in the freezer and then wrap it around you! Don’t do this if you are really overheated bc it can make your body flip out a bit at temperature change.

Fill a tub with cold water and dunk in it every so often. My grandmother once told me when she was a kid they’d have one person in the apartment building fill a tub with ice and everyone would come over for a “tub party”. That seems kind of gross to me but you do you ig?

Make yourself drink water. Eat food if you can but if you feel funky, don’t. The heat can mess with your digestive system, and if you get diarrhea you are losing even more water. However if you can’t eat be sure to drink something with electrolytes! You need that salt and sugar.

Dresses are the best to wear in the heat. Long light dresses save you from sun and are cool and make a little breeze around your legs when you walk! I hate dresses for gender reasons but they are the superior hot weather clothing.

COOLING CENTERS: check your local ymca, library, senior center, etc to see if it’s acting as a cooling center. If so, you can go there to cool off or, if you wfh, do your work in the cool there. They often have juice and water and stuff as well! Some places also have programs that can drive vulnerable people who can’t drive to cooling centers, so see if that’s the case for your area.

Also, if you do have AC: please please please make sure to keep up with your localities messages about electrical use! If you have an older grid, the extreme ac use from heatwaves can shut it down and cause blackouts. These frequently kill people. Please only air condition rooms you are in, and don’t set the temp below 70. If your locality says to set your AC to 80 it’s not because they hate you it’s because they are trying to keep the power on in the hospitals.

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

i was being followed by some kind of demon child who could warp peoples perception of reality.

it started in a game. there was this game where you play as this muscular action hero on a train, and the train is heading straight towards a broken section of the track. the broken section is very high up in the air so definitely everyone is gonna die. Unless you manage to run up to the engine of the train and tell them to stop! the train is huge, taller than most buildings, and to get to the front you have to run next to it and jump onto a ladder on the side of the next car. that was the whole gameplay loop. it looked like a kojima game, like death stranding. i was watching a streamer play, and he actually got to the front and saved the day. the people running the train didnt believe that there was anything wrong with the track, but a bunch of passengers bullied them into stopping the train, so they did.

then the train started to fly off the tracks. it barreled impossibly through the air as the workers tried to regain control. at this point it was no longer a game but real life. the train eventually got back onto the track, but it flew all the way to the hole. thankfully it was still able to stop before going over it. a small child revealed himself to be the one that caused all the chaos.

suddenly i was in a grocery store with my mom. i forgot what happened before this, but i knew the small child was a demon and messing with peoples minds. my mom walked up to a worker and asked “what is this.. water apple?” i looked at what she was holding and told her it’s a pear. she said, “that’s weird, ive never seen one before. you’d think i wouldve seen a.. pear before, right?”

i told her she’s definitely seen them before and that if you look around the store, pear flavored stuff is always paired next to apple flavored stuff. not true irl but it was in the dream, i showed her a bunch of examples.

a lot of stuff happened like that, where other people would forget or wrongly believe something and i was the only one who knew the truth. obviously, its possible that it was my mind being messed with and everyone else was normal, but i forgot all the other examples. either way, it was driving me crazy because no one would believe me. i saw the kid frequently, and i was always like Fuck u. 🖕. but i wasnt wearing my glasses so at some point i was talking with a stranger and flipped off the kid at the other end of the aisle, then the stranger got upset and left. i realized the person i flipped off wasn’t the demon, and looked the same age as the stranger. the stranger looked like my old friend Claire, but with more acne and less scary eyes, and he was pretty tall. i know he was a trans man because the next day (i stayed in the store all night??) someone who looked like the stranger was talking to me about their “brother” and i was like idk ur brother sorry. then the claire-like person appeared and i realized he was a trans guy, i was like oh duude. sorry for flipping off ur friend i thought he was someone else im not wearing my glasses. and he was like ohh lol its ok. i dont remember anything else

[veerian]

I couldn't agree more with all of this, me and my dear pal @actuallyjustabiscuit talk frequently abt her and this impression that people have from being a motherly figure... Like, guys, look at this woman, she feels like she's about to have a SOMETHING attack, please. And we Stan her for it!

Actually, lemme get my 4am rambles here, I really feel like ragatha genuinely cares about other BUT ALSO cares about maintaining the status quo above everything else, that's why the jax-gangle situation doesn't seem to bother her. She's impersonal about the issues really, just look how she treats pomni in the beginning of the second episode. "You don't need to hype me up, I'm not a kid" Yeah pomni, ur so right! This isn't a really hard thing to figure too, ragatha is trying without really taking pomni's feelings and personality in consideration. And well, things are "working" for her, as it seems that kaufmo was the only recent abstraction and she's lasting a great amount of time in the circus...

But then comes pommi. It's her second day and she's already breaking the rules. These two are going to conflict, there's no way that's not happening... Pomni is depicted as a saviour in that last scene from the pilot and I feel like that has to do more with her helping the other members of the cast find their way... Probably through doing out of the ordinary shit ( jester figure is relevant for that) and actually trying to find a solution to their situation, while ragatha I'd just "trying to keep everyone alive" In technicolor hell.

If pomni manages to really help other and rags don't... How do y'all think that will make her feel? And there lies the issue... Ragatha will have to face the reality that her actions are flawed, that she cares, but she's going in a non personal, toxic positive way that literally isn't getting anyone out of this. She's just delaying their abstractions, basically. It's going to be a break or make moment guys, I'm feeling it. And I'm cheering for her. I'm cheering for pomni to be able to help her through this, like with gummy goo (rip). Pomni, please, care for ragatha in a way that she'll understand what it means to care for someone personally, even with the not so perfect stuff.

But I don't know guys, although I feel like pomni saving her feels much more adequate to the story ( I'm aware of my bias ), it could go either way. Rags not being able to deal with her issues, apologizing to pomni and then abstracting seems... Very possible... Abstraction is about the loss of identity, and people, she's dealing exactly with that.

I'm cheering for her, srs. It's stupid how I relate to this character. And I want to believe that she can make it! Gives me a lil hope abt making it too lol ( calm down, I'm fine )

So yeah, those are my thoughts for now, we'll see how things turn out!

personally, I love how polarizing this phase is being. Half of everyone thinks ragatha sucks/is super insufferable. Which, valid, she’s being absurdly stubborn.

But the other half argues that she’s a woman in crisis who we’ve pushed to the brink. And that’s valid too.

She’s far from perfect, but it’s not really her fault, is it?

This is how you do it, this is how you make complex characters. Like…I’d use this as an example in a literature analysis on this stuff.

THAT'S HIGH PRAISE ! ... i don't know what to feel about that SHFS ...

yeah the reaction is pretty fascinating cause i did Expect it . what always fascinated me about ragatha is seeing how fanon put her in this nurturing , motherly role where she knows what to say and do at all times when ... well , it's clear that she isn't That .

she , to me , always felt suffocating . her ' comfort ' is dismissive , it's clear that she represses her own feelings , and she can come off as annoyingly overbearing . but she's also a very kind person with an astronomically low self-esteem that you just Can't hate her . it's so easy to reduce her to this ' mom friend ' when she actually has personal flaws that keep her from perfectly encapsulating that role .

well ! at least that's my interpretation of ragatha . even with episode 2 confirming most of them i'm still not confident about it LM AO

[not-me-simping-for-blasty]

Sorry for the late request but I just saw the Bakugo headcannons for when he was a little kid and I was wondering if I could request something similar for Kirishima

pls i would love to- full warning tho i don’t write kiri pretty much at all so sorry if its a teeny bit ooc!!!! but still,, hope u enjoy ty for the request lovely !!!

okay,, so tiny bb kirishima right- first here’s some general hcs for him bc i couldnt stop myself

-he learns how to tie his shoes first. i cant tell u why he learns first, i just know he wants to be a big kid so he figures it out super early,,, n then he’ll just go around either tying everyone’s shoes for them or teaching them how

-probably has a lot of action figures. makes full in-depth plots for them when he plays. super intense stories with betrayal and romance and high-stakes,, acts out different voices too

-okay, i adore kiri but,,,, he chugs his juice without breathing, gasps super heavily for oxygen afterwards, n then leaves with a constant juice stain around his mouth. he just has too many friends to play with,, he can’t slow down to get a drink of all things

-connects markers together n swings them like a sword. makes ?explosion? noises for some reason when he does it

-probably jabs pencils into his skin. his quirk is developing n he’s a curious little bb,, pls stop him before he stabs himself on a whim

-is incredibly gullible. he believes everyone is his best friend and everyone has only best intentions. this means he frequently gets in trouble for doing something dangerous after being dared to

-very much the kid who will memorize his alphabet backwards, n then repeat it to other people unprompted. not for any particular reason he just thinks its cool

now for the real stuff,,,, hcs about being bby kiri’s childhood crush/best friend

-firstly, kiri introduces u to everyone new as not only his best friend, but also tells them the coolest thing about u. so, for example, he’ll be like “hi i’m kirishima n this is Y/N. they’re my best friend and they can whistle!” ,,, this is how introductions go every single time without fail, no exceptions

-he asks u to draw tattoos on him with markers. pls u just scribble all over his skin n then he’ll show them to his horrified parents like “oh, hey guys, look! so manly right?”

-probably wants to build forts for you guys in the woods. out of like sticks n rocks and stuff. he doesn’t like to build by himself tho,, so he’ll beg u to help

-he’ll probably try to eat gross things to impress u. so like, y’all will watch a movie n he sees a cool, ‘manly’ guy in it drinking black coffee,,,, cue 7 yr old kiri begging his parents for black coffee, just to drink it and immeadiately spit it out in front of u

-creates a million different handshakes. just so many, n teaches u all of them

-crashes so hard every time his parents bring him over for a playdate. like he’ll be 100% enthusiam for 40 mins n then completely collapse into u, dead asleep when ur in the middle of a board game

-u can’t tell me he wouldnt be the clingiest little guy. not necessarily in a possessive way, but just, ur his favorite friend and so if anything good happens he wants u to be there for it with him

-tiny kiri would probably hug and kiss and hold hands. just rlly affectionate towards everybody but especially his close friends

-saves his snacks for when u can eat with him. like, he’d rather wait, even if he has to share the food with u, than eat by himself

-he is v desperate for ur approval/attention tho,, n often does little things to get you to laugh. these include

1.) if someone with glasses is talking to you, he’ll stand behind their back and put his fingers into little ‘o’s around his eyes. not even to make fun of them or anything,, he just thinks it’s silly to pretend to have glasses when he doesnt

2.) tells other kids that it’s ur birthday when it’s not. both of u find it very funny when other people keep mistakenly wishing u a happy birthday

3.) intentionally hardens his skin when u high-five him,,, just so he can hear u laugh and recoil back

-bb eijiro tells you ‘secrets’,,, there has literally not once ever been an actual secret, he just tells u there is so u lean in. then he just smiles n whispers a little ‘spspspsps’ in ur ear while giggling

-when he has to draw his family in school he’ll draw u in. n the teacher will come over like “no, the assignment was just the family that you live with at home’ n he’ll just smile and refuse to change it. says no politely tho,, he’s still a sweet boy

-will follow u in hide and seek. like,, if y’all are both hiding he’s just going to go hide close to where u are. then he’ll make noise so he’s found first and intentionally lead the seeker away from u

-challenges himself to ridiculous feats to impress u. just like, he’ll see a bee and intentionally go bother it so he can prove how ‘tough’ he is to you by not crying when it stings him. spoiler alert- he cries. that doesn’t stop him from trying again tho

-so in conclusion,, bb kiri is the cutest little guy on earth. just a total sweetheart

hope u enjoyed @lazyfiresuitcasehero ,, ty once again for the request babes!!!

[neotrances]

I love ur ymbryne oc!! I’m so happy to see content for the ms peregrine fandom! Are there any photos you’d choose for her like how the books would have those random old timey photos that the author made into characters?

YES kinda shocked anyone knows what i’m talking about bc the fandom like i said is practically dead (not that i rlly interacted with it much anyways) but photos + info about her below!

so her names ms alba or “mother alba” and her being a nun is just a cover for her and the children that she protects in her time loop! shes a tyto alba owl and originally she was a “talent agent”, actress, and background singer for multiple groups in the 1940’s as she traveled she’d scout out peculiar children to save them from abusive homes, circus acts, and poverty, and bring them back to the pine barrens of new jersey to the church she runs partially (the official grounds are owned by her friend another ymbryne who isn’t really interested in protecting peculiar kids bc of what happened to her first batch) she’s 6 feet tall and owns a pistol that she uses to threaten humans that give her a hard time saving peculiar kids that r being exploited, she’s actually quite young for a ymbryne and only in her mid 30s

mother alba frequently uses her memory altering powers to make it hard for people to identify her in photographs or through memory, her face often remains a blur or hazy to those she doesn’t trust and she purposefully keeps her eyes rolled back bc of superstition toward hollowgast, ALSO even tho she often alter memories relating to her face and is using being a nun as a cover she really loves culture around music and partying and music bands etc so she often wears the same lipstick she would when she was on the road and this is a plot point later on that gets her cover blown, she wanted to be a star but her sense of duty to protect the peculiar children across the americas mattered more to her, as a nun she’d act kinda cold and distant from the kids (but still very caring) but as a performer she lights up

⬇️ i thought itd be super cool if she was a singer that shows up in many songs across the states but is largely unnamed / uncredited but if you ask ppl if they’ve heard her voice before they’d recognize it, she’d have her photograph taken for promo shoots but refuse to be have anything too identifiable in the pictures other than her signature short curly bob

(she is black BTW this pic is just of a paler woman)

and even though she has only recently started saving kids she already had one living with her at the church, the “jersey devil” he’s been with her ever since fleeing his mother and ms alba basically acts like a second mother to him, his power is essentially just uncontrollable shapeshifting (usually animal parts and grotesque proportions) and bc of how religious the general area was when he was born it kinda screwed him over and he got hunted for sport until mother alba saved him and took him in

a lot of the kids she saves (ages ranging from 7-19) have a hard time getting along and jd (the jersey devil now 19) acts like a big brother to everyone holding things together when she’s away, tho around the 1980s jd went missing so she closed off the time loop and forbid all the kids from leaving or playing near the exit

in current time the church is nothing but rubble, burnt wood and fallen trees hidden in a thick part of the forest, and in my spin off our mc accidentally gets involved and yadda yadda other stuff basically cool nun with a gun babysits supernatural entities and dreams of being a radio star

↳ MHA ROOMATE HEADCANONS PT//1 (THE BOYS <3)

A/N: yeah these were made in a desperate search for serotonin. Can be read as platonic or romantic x readers :) hope you enjoy, please don't forget to take your meds and drink water <3

❑BAKUGOU totally takes over the cleaning because any time you had a turn he'd throw an absolute fit over how you didn't clean the counter right or the couch was too crumby, the freak. Instead he lets (read: forces) you to do the grocery shopping (with a list he made of HIS THINGS, and you'd better get it right.) Your own space like your bedroom or bathroom are your responsibility of course, but communal spaces are under his jurisdiction only. Occasionally cooks breakfast if you wake up early enough to catch him after his morning run, and as much as he likes to say he doesn't have time for TV he'll always pause by the living room doorway while you're watching a trashy TV show until the clip changes.

❑KAMINARI has his own snack drawer and mini fridge. Saw it on tiktok and the two of you spent all day filling up his dresser with snacks. In the end his clothes all end up on the floor, but that's a small price to pay for a god-tier snack selection right in his own room. you'd do the same, but you'd rather keep your clothes in your dresser and you don't have the money or space to get a new one. He frequently stays up until 5am on his holidays and then spends work-days literally collapsing on the couch before he can make it to his bed when he comes home. Can't cook to save himself but he'll always offer to pick up takeout on his way home.

❑TODOROKI abandoned his traditional decor style but frankly you'd prefer it over the mess in his room? His room is a mix of his friends' interests, and frankly you should have figured that would happen on move in day, when Izuku, Denki, Iida and Kirishima all helped him decorate his room. He's got a weight set he never even uses against one wall, a really plain bed and then a book-shelf filled with All Might merch??? You refuse to hang out in his room just because it honestly feels like every corner is a self-built shrine to his friends lsdkjfksjd. He likes to do things with you like going out for groceries or new shoes, domestic housemate stuff that he really didn’t get as a kid.

❑IZUKU keeps tissues in every room of the house just in case he starts crying. Smart, but sometimes you'll get a sniveling puffy-eyed deku stumble into your room going "our living room tissues ran out." all quiet until you smile and pass him the box sitting on ur night stand. He'll apologize later but it's no real trouble, you assure him. Every once in a while you can hear his muttering through the walls of your apartment and it can freak you out if he does it past 11pm. He'll bring you back little hero-merch keychains when he goes away on long missions, opening the front door and greeting you with a big smile despite the dark circles under his eyes. “I saw this in Fukushima and I decided to get you one! Miruko's your favorite hero, right?” Sometimes you'll find him spacing out on the couch, and it confuses you the first few times until you notice the picture frame in his hands. A grinning Izuku and Yagi shined under the glass' reflection, and the grimace that settles on your face isn't voluntary. You've never been sure how to adress Izuku's loss, but letting him have his moment on the couch and then hanging out with him once he's snapped out of it, when he's emotionally drained and almost not-present seemed to work so far.

Title: coward :: old friends Pairing: Y/N x Miya Atsumu Genre: angst, romance, and very slow burn [ex to lovers au] Warnings: Cursing, alchohol, mentions of unprotected sex, unplanned pregnancy, and mentions of abortion

Synopsis: Your kids openly hate Miya Atsumu and the appearance of an old friend stirs up mischief and unwanted memories of the past. [ft. aomine daiki from knb] notes:

i probably cant stress this enough but thank you so much for all the love T-T it means a lot <3 like 118 followers in a span of two weeks? That’s just shhddhbdbx anyways i hope enjoy another buttload of angst! remember to always stay safe and wash ur hands!!

i find it funny when people point out atsumu to be a player or a fuckboy because this guy looks like a one-woman (or no woman lets be honest) type of person, his whole personality revolves around volleyball i guess and being straightforward to everyone with an idgaf attitude ksksks

previous   next  masterlist   

“You haven’t even wiped your sweaty backs and you both think you’re good to go?” you narrowed your eyes at the two boys who sheepishly gave you a smile as you lightly scolded them for not taking care of their health, the boys had decided to join a mini sports club after class where you could play for an hour any sport you’d like in the gym. They had promised it wouldn’t affect their studies. 

Bending down to their level, you signal them to turn around. The pair furrows their brows, not wanting to be coddled by you in public, when you noticed that they were about to complain, you cocked a brow at their actions and tighten your lips. Begrudgingly they slowly turned around, not wanting a lecture from you.

You first wiped Yuuto’s back and handed him a t-shirt he could change on. As you were wiping Youta’s back with another towel, he suddenly spoke out, “Kaasan, that Atsumu-guy’s looking at you again.” he frowns.

Yes, apparently Miya Atsumu had the time to lounge around at a kids sports club and accompany his friend Hinata who would occasionally be there to help around because he was bored and they were ordered to rest (judging from your past conversations with Hinata these days, you noticed that the young man did not know the meaning of what resting was). 

You thought that the little scene at your workplace would be the last time you saw him but these past days, you saw him a lot. It seemed to be getting too frequent to the point where you wondered if it could even be called a coincidence at all, “Do you want me to spike at him, kaasan?” the oldest twin asks as he turns to you, a small pout on his lips.

“Now, now, do you remember the story I told you about the bully last night?” 

“Don’t throw stuff at people?” He blinks innocently.

You let out a soft and gentle laugh, the one only reserved for your boys, “Yes, Yo-chan. Don’t throw stuff at people.” you leaned in to give him a peck on his nose in which he immediately moved away and wrinkled his forehead in disgust.

“Stop doing that, kaasan. I’m a big kid already!”

“Hai, hai.” You patted his head and stood up while handed him his t-shirt, “Hurry along and change now, you big baby.”

Atsumu watches the bizarre interaction from afar, he’s never seen you this soft in public. Even when you were dating back then, the most public display of affection you two would have when you were dating was just you playing with his fingers and drawing small circles on his thighs unknowingly under the table (save for that one time where you wiped blood off his nose in public but then again you guys weren’t dating that time so that didn’t count) yet seeing you laughing, wiping the sweat out of the little boys back, and even giving a small peck on his nose was a very different sight to behold.

Daresay, it suited you.

“You’ve been staring at her for quite some time, Miya-san.” Sugawara comments as he puts the last grade-school volleyball on the cart. Atsumu jumps on the spot and rubs the back of his head nervously making Sugawara laugh in reply, “Funny, isn’t it? Whenever I talk to L/N-san, she’s always like ‘okay.’, ‘that’s nice.’, ‘good.’ yet when she’s with the kids, she’s the softest person ever.”

“Yeah…” The blonde mutters, “definitely funny.”

“Heard from Hinata that you and L/N-san used to be together back in college.” 

That damn orange haired snake-

“Yeah, two years.” Atsumu clears his throat, “We, we fell out of love though.”

‘You fell out of love.’ he corrects in his head.

“Oho,Fates a fickle huh? Anyways, Me and Hinata are actually planning on inviting Y/N and the boys for dinner, do you want to come with us?” 

“I have a girlfriend.” he replies in defense. 

Sugawara looks at him, completely baffled by his reply then immediately bursts out into laughter, “I doubt Y/N would care, really…” He paused, “No offense.”

“None taken.” the blonde deadpanned.

You don’t know why you ended up at a chinese restaurant that night with one kid animatedly chatting Hinata Shoyou’s ear off while the other was openly glaring at Miya Atsumu, “Youta please swallow your food before talking.” you frowned, taking a napkin to wipe the rice off the mouth of the younger twin.

The blonde kept glancing at you but whenever he did, he’d receive a very harsh glare from Yuuto, “Hey watch where you’re looking at, jiji.” Yuuto suddenly spat out loud, catching him in the act this time as he stabs his chicken with a fork.

Sugawara sweat drops at the interaction unfolding in front of him while you try to tell your oldest son to be more kind to the man sitting in front of him, “Yeah. Listen to your mom, brat.” Atsumu frowns, in which the child retaliates with a tongue out.

“Yuuto, eat your food and stop disturbing Miya-san.”

Yet their stare-off seemed to continue as soon as you turned away from the pair  and Sugawara had to intervene before Yuuto would pounce at the professional volleyball player across the table, “You should be nicer to him, Yuuto-kun. You want to be a setter right? He’s a better setter than I am.” Sugawara tries to ease off the tension between the two.

“He’s not,” Yuuto frowns, “I don’t even know why Kaasan says you’re the best setter in the whole wide world, Adler’s Kageyama Tobio’s obviously better!”

You feel yourself freeze up at Yuuto’s innocent babble, Atsumu seems to be taken aback by it too but he immediately regains himself, “Your mom’s got taste that’s all.” He leered at the six year old boy, not daring to back down from the brat’s challenge. Sugawara pales when the tension rises even higher and tries to get Hinata to ease it up but the orange-haired is too engaged into the conversation with the other twin.

“Baby, just eat your veggies and stop disturbing Miya-san.” You snap back to your senses as you evenly try to get him to calm down once again but he refuses, another trait he got from his father.

“Hey troll, the jiji won’t stop staring at kaasan!” he calls for his twin, trying to get him to back him up, “I told ya he was a crackhead!”

Your eyes widen at your son’s attitude and his uncouth table manners, “L/N Yuuto, that’s it!” You suddenly raise your voice, Yuuto’s scowl deepens as he crosses his arms. Everyone in the table turns silent by your outburst. 

Anger, Miya Atsumu realizes how many different emotions you manage to muster out today. It was a lot more than what he had experienced with you, he’d usually take these emotions by crumbs back then since it was rare but it seemed that these boys had it easy with you. You were so open to them, so vulnerable.

“We’re going home right this instant after you apologize to Miya-san.” 

“I don’t wanna.”

“Yuuto…”

“Y/N, it’s alright-” Atsumu tries to ease up the kid's burden, suddenly feeling bad since it was his fault in the first place and the kid was probably just trying to protect you.

“I said I don’t wanna!” The oldest twin immediately stands up and runs away, you grab your youngest son by the hand who was sadly saying goodbye to his idol as you placed the payment for your meal on the table. 

“He’s not usually like this.” You bowed your head, “Sorry Miya-san, I really am.”

He watches you dash away to the direction where your younger son ran off to, Youta trailing behind you as he waved goodbye to his two favorite men and a tongue out to Miya Atsumu, signaling that he too, like his brother, hated him.

“Way to go, atsumu-san” Hinata grimaced, openly judging him for picking a fight with a kid as he munched on his sweet and sour pork.

Later that same evening, you stood outside your sons room, regretting how you handled the situation. Of course, Yuuto was wrong to say that but you should’ve been more mindful with your tone and words. You were their mother and an adult for crying out loud!

“Yuuto?” You knock on the twins shared room, “Baby? Would you mind opening the door for a sec?”

“Kaasan, Yuuto says he don’t wanna!” Youta replies in his older brother's stead.

“Okay,” You calmly reply, expecting that,  “Then can you tell Yu-chan that there's a glass of milk on the counter? I know he wants to drink some after that heavy dinner.”

“He says big boys don’t need milk, kaasan…” Youta paused,  “But he says he’ll drink it later since we shouldn’t throw food.”

“Okay, goodnight boys.”

You slowly head to the couch and lay there, basking in the silence of your apartment and waiting for your son to come out of his room to be ready to talk. As you hear the door creak open, you see Yuuto slowly waddle his way towards the table where his milk was on, “Yu-chan? Can we talk?” you ask, your voice is soft as you slowly made your way to the oldest twin, bending down to his level so you could see him eye to eye, “Oh, baby...Kaasan is so, so, sorry…” You apologized, taking his small hands and resting your head on top of it.

“I don’t like yelling.”

“I know.”

“I had to protect ‘kaasan,” he frowns, his nose wrinkling, “He was looking at you badly.”

“Kaasan deserved it.”

“No one deserves to look at you badly, kaasan!” he exclaims, “You’re the bestest, kindest person in the whole wide world!”

You wondered if they’d still say that when they’d find out you were lying to them about how their father was just right in front of them tonight.

“ ‘Kaasan had hurt miya-san really bad before,” You try to explain to your son in words he could understand and digest as you run your hands through his silky black hair, “That’s why he’s like that…”

“B-But…” he tries to stammer out an explanation but you cut him off with a kiss on his cheek.

“You’ll understand what ‘kaasan means when you’re older,” you smile, slowly standing up and handing him his glass of milk, “Sometimes we hurt people really bad that even saying sorry can’t fix it.”

“W-was it really bad, ‘kaasan?” the boy asks, taking the milk to his small hands and drinking it slowly whilst trying to discern what you were saying. After placing the glass down, he asks,  “Did you break his favorite toy or something?”

“Mhm,” You hummed, picking him up as he stifled a yawn and slowly nuzzled on your neck,“ ‘Kaasan broke something so important, she couldn’t fix it with just saying sorry.”

“Babygirl, aren’t you looking better these days?” 

“You call me that one more time and I swear I’m disemboweling you.” You deadpanned, meeting his dark eyes. Aomine Daiki lets out a boisterous laugh right after when he sees your blank expression, “Still the same as ever, Y/N-chan, you really love breakin’ my heart.” he teased, clutching his heart in fake pain.

“Tch,” You clicked your tongue at the tall basketball player, “Tell that to the women you play around with.”

“I take it the boys are at school today?”

“They begged me to skip it since they heard you were back in japan.” You replied, recalling the twins fake sickness this morning just so that they could see the navy blue-haired giant.

“I’m surprised you even took the time off to see little ol’ me.”

“Don’t kid yourself.”

“Hn,” He hummed, leaning in closely as he rested his head on his palm, “I got news by the way, I was at our hometown and I bumped into obaasan.”

You cross your legs and lean back on the chair, the mere mention of your mother had you automatically on edge and annoyed.

“What did she say?”

“She asked me a favor,” He shrugged, taking in a sip of his banana milk, “Says that she wants to meet up with you… She mentions that ojisan’s gonna make time too, I think they’re going to try to make amends with you.”

“That’s nice.” You dryly remarked, clearly you didn’t care about their apology or their willingness to ‘talk’ it out.

“Don’t shoot the messenger,” Daiki frowns, raising his hands in reply, “And judging by the look on your face, you’re not going to see them?”

Flashes of your childhood and the event that transpired six years ago wormed its way back to your head, it had been so long but its had severely affected and haunted you to this day, “I don’t think I’d ever want my kids near them, who knows what they’ll say around them.” you responded truthfully.

Daiki’s gaze turned soft as he noticed how tightly you were holding the coffee cup, “You got overtime again, right? How about I’ll take care of the boys in the meantime? You know how much they love the huge fridge and pachinko machine in my apartment... I’m also sure they miss their favorite ojisan.” 

“Just make sure you hide your porno magazines.” 

“That was one time, Y/N.”

You and Aomine Daiki go way back the tall boy lived right across your house and had been your companion since you were the tender age of six. He knew what went around your house, why you were so quiet and expressionless most of the time. At some point, the tall man tried to cross the line of friends to lover but he was only met with the very familiar blank gaze and harsh words of, “I don’t think I’ll ever see you that way.”

The man had no choice but to accept the scraps he was given, he couldn’t really blame you though. After the messed-up emotional trauma you experienced growing up, he knew you wanted nothing to do with the idea of families or lovers.

Yet one winter night while he was in the middle of his training for the national team, he received a phone call from you with two words he never expected to hear from you at all, “I’m pregnant.” 

It’s been three years since he last saw you that time and he’s puzzled, who took advantage of you? Where was that asshole so he could beat him to a pulp? Why couldn’t the father be a man and face you? He becomes even more confused because apparently you knew this man very well and you had an intimate relationship with him, something he never imagined from you,  “I broke up with him.”

“W-what?”

“I broke up with him,” you repeated, clutching the ultrasound picture on your hand tightly, it probably looked unrecognizable at that point, “I told him I never wanted to see him again.”

“You didn’t tell him?” He bellowed, he placed his hands on your arms and held you while shaking you lightly, “Y/N are you out of your mind? How are you going to raise a kid in this state? You may have graduated early but you’ve got student loans and yourself to fend for! How are you going to do it? Your parents disowned you for cryin’ out loud!”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know? What do you mean? Do you want to have it aborted, Y/N?”

“I don’t know.”

Daiki lets out a frustrated sigh as he lowers his head, realization slowly dawned upon him at that moment, you were running away. Your defense mechanism had always been to run away. Ever since Aomine Daiki met you, he always noticed that whenever you had problems, you’d run towards the opposite direction and never meet them head-on.

They’d pile up to the point that he was worried you’d burst one day.

It had happened once before and it was something he prayed he’d never see again.

“You know you can’t keep running, right?” He manages to croak out softly, looking at you dead in the eye, your face was blank but your eyes held so much emotions in them; grief, anguish, misery, and what pained him the most was that you drowned yourself in these emotions that you probably didn’t know how to express them anymore because you were used to it.

“I can try.”

“You have to tell him, what’s his name? Where does he live? Y/N-”

“Don’t.” You replied, contrasting to the blank tone you were using moments ago, your voice was now soft. He notices that you’re inching closer to him and he observes you as you melt on his arms just like that moment eleven years ago, you’re shaking uncontrollably,  “Please don’t tell him.”

“Y/N-”

“I-I- you-shouldn’t- can’t tell him, please just this one time,” You stammer, begging him with whatever strength you have left, he feels his jacket getting wet. He holds you tight, not knowing what to say anymore, whoever this jackass was, you must’ve really loved him because he’s never seen you this scared before, “just this one time, let me run away from this again.”

Miya Atsumu feels a tick on his forehead when a very tall, dark, and daresay, handsome man appeared to pick up the boys during the club activity today. He wouldn’t openly admit it but he wanted to talk to you after that little fiasco that he had with that brat but when this guy appeared out of nowhere instead of you.

He was beyond annoyed.

He couldn’t pinpoint where he actually saw this guy but he was very familiar.

“Oh, is that Aomine Daiki?” Sugawara gasped, completely surprised by the tall man’s presence.

“Wow, He’s way too tall to be japanese.” Hinata pointed out, “Is he a volleyball player? I wanna match him!”

“Shoyou no, he plays basketball for the NBA.” Sugawara comments, “I didn’t know Y/N knew him, he’s pretty big internationally and in japan too.”

Atsumu clenched his fists as he watched the brats easily cling onto him and ask him if they brought some gifts for them from abroad, judging by their body language, this guy must’ve been with you since the beginning.

“Oh, ninja shoyou was it?” The tall man suddenly exclaims, going up to Shoyou eagerly with no shame, “I watched some of your matches while I was in Brazil! I’m Aomine Daiki.”

Miya Atsumu wished this guy was an asshole but he was nothing like that, in fact, he looked like an excited kid when he started talking to the little orange-head, telling him how good he’d fit in at basketball with his jumps, “You must be the teachers?” he glanced towards Atsumu and Sugawara, the latter nodded but the blonde didn’t seem that amused by him.

“I’m Hinata’s teammate.” he said through gritted teeth, offering his hand to shake, “Miya Atsumu…”

“Nice to meet you, pal.”

“Daiki-ojisan, jiji’s an old friend of ‘kaasan back when she was studyin!” Youta exclaims randomly, Atsumu wants to snap at the brat for calling him jiji once again but he holds it back because he was still at odds with the other one and he didn’t want to strain whatever he had left with the excited one.

Daiki, on the other hand, feels his body stiffen at Youta’s random fact outburst. You had never told him who the father was until today, all he knew was that he was with you in Tokyo university and that you were very much in love with him.

Did this guy perhaps know who the boyfriend was?

“Friend, huh?” He laughs, taking his hand and shaking it, trying to lighten up the mood, “I heard she even got her first boyfriend there.”

The trio fell into silence at what Aomine said while the two kids tilted their heads at the new word they heard. The basketball player felt confused by the sudden silence and when he noticed the red ears of the blonde in front of him, realization finally dawned on him.

“That…” Atsumu clears his throat, ears tinged red by the man’s forwardness, “That would be me.”

Aomine’s eyes widen, no fucking way, “Wow,” he throws his head back, howling in laughter, were you a masochist? How could you lounge around the father of the kids without him knowing jackshit about what happened and still be alright? He immediately regains his composure, this poor blonde bastard was probably confused since he heard you just ghosted him and left him out of the blue, “You definitely get my respect, Miya-san.”

Atsumu doesn’t know why the man in front of him is so amused or why he’s taking out a scratch paper on the kids notebook to write his number on it, “I hope we can be friends, it's definitely an interesting story to hear how you two got together. Y/N never entertained me and I’ve been chasing her since we were thirteen.” he grins, as if he just hadn’t nonchalantly revealed that you had rejected him more times than Atsumu back in college.

The blonde setter is confused as the navy blue-haired man slaps a phone number on his palm, “Call me when you need a drinking company, alright? Let's talk, I’d love to hear how you ended up together.” the smile on his lips turning wider by the minute.

kskd anywyas i come back with another headcanon/scenario.. and so i was thinking of other characters aside from xiao, y/n, hutao and yanfei and seeing how other characters would fit into this world (like if this were instead a albedo series, klee would introduce him to you and he falls in love ueueueu 💞💞🥺)

but speaking of klee, i was thinking of qiqi bc qiqi and xiao have quite a bond in the actual game,, so how about xiao oneday finds qiqi in danger in the streets and he couldn't just stand there and sp he saved her life. she was lost and didn't know where her parents were so xiao figured to have baizhu- a friend of aether and a doctor, take her under his wings

but baizhu, being a doctor, is sometimes rlly busy and so xiao has to take care of her sometimes. his chat knows about her and calls her xiao's sister 🥺🥺

she frequently plays "not scary" games with xiao bc yanfei would be rlly mad if she figured out oneday qiqi was dominating in apex 💀💀💀 and so they play animal crossing--

onetime xiao was reviewing genshin impact crew's island in animal crossing new horizons. childe's was shit, kaeya's was a mess, keqing's was organized, but yoURS??-- omg dont pls xiao felt like he was violating your privacy,,

he was complementing EVERYTHING, even stuff that other members of genshin do aswell-- oh? ganyu places her flowers in heart shape? cringe. oh but you do it? PERFECTION 💗 yanfei only has cute villagers? annoying and picky. oh but you do the same? SO PASSIONATE AND AMAZINGSJDHJ-

qiqi notices this and says "xiao.. why are you like this? do you want to marry y/n?.." NO QIQI THE SHIPPINGSJDHWI-- imagine chat freaking out like "KSIDHDBJS QIQI OMG" "XIAO'S SISTER UNDERSTANDS US" "its fucking confirmed. i take no criticism" "MY SHIP OMGNFJSJS 💗💞💞💕"
