#showed affection through headbutts

[adhd-coyote]

I just. Love Mando’a so fucking much. It’s so great.

They have three different words to describe ways to be stabbed. Bikadinir (to stab with a broad blade; “run through”), chekar (to stab with a small blade, “shiv”), and kalikir (to stab with a narrow blade, “skewer”).

They have one pronoun. Kaysh. That’s it. Buir is just parent, there’s no mom/dad. No son/daughter, just ad, ad’ika, ikaad. Child. Vod can mean sibling, friend, comrade. All at once. Amazing.

They have dozens of ways to insult someone. Di’kut, someone who forgets to put their pants on. Utreekov, emptyhead. Najaat, no honor. Dini, lunatic. Kaysh mirsh solus, “their brain cell is lonely.” Skanah, “much hated person/thing.” Hut’uun, coward. Ge’hut’uun, not even notable enough to be called a coward (how insulting is that?). Demagolka, originating from Demagol, the name of a scientist who was so fucking shitty that his name became the worst insult a Mandalorian could call you. And that insult is child abuser, monster, war criminal, someone with no honor.

And then there’s “shab”, which we don’t have an official definition for, but the fandom collectively agrees it means “fuck.” Because we have shabiir (to screw up), shab’la (screwed up), shab’rudur (to screw with), and shabuir (jerk but much stronger, AKA asshole/motherfucker).

And Mando’ade don’t say “I love you.” They say “Ni kar’tayli gar darasuum.” I hold you in my heart for eternity. Like. Are you serious. That’s so much better than “I love you.” If someone said that to me I would die on the spot.

Mirshmure’cya means “brain kiss.” Slang for headbutt, which is a thing Mando’ade do a lot, apparently. And it’s a sign of affection, too. They show affection by gently bonking their helmets together. How adorable is that???

Oh, and shereshoy. A lust for life “and much more.” Represented by orange on their armor. “The enjoyment of each day and the determination to seek and grab every possible experience, as well as surviving to see the next day - hanging onto life and relishing it.” And that “oy” at the end of it, derived from “Oya!”

“Oya”, which can mean so many things. A war cry before a fight or hunt. A celebration. An encouragement. “Let’s hunt!” “Hoorah!” “Cheers!” “That’s the spirit!”

This post got much longer than I meant it to lol. I’ll stop here. But you get the gist. Mando’a is a wonderful language and I am in love with it.

[hyperfixat]

How they show affection, demon brothers!

roughly ~700 words :3 side characters ver

Mammon bites.

Seeing how quickly Mammon took to you, he started showing affection around day three of knowing you, after forming your pact. At first you thought he was sniffing your hair, and maybe you needed new conditioner, but then you felt the graze of teeth on the lobe of your ear and a gentle bite.

You don’t react, save for a mild blush, and Mammon’s makes an oddly bird-like chiro, before pulling away from you.

“What was that?”

“What was what?”

“You bit me,” you acusse. It’s not like you’re mad, but knowing why might be nice.

“Stupid human, you’re imagining things,” and if you didn’t believe him from the tone of his voice the aggressive sunburnt red that eclipses his whole face shows he doesn’t mean it.

Satan headbutts.

It took a while for Satan to be affectionate with you, maybe shortly after the Lucifer slash London incident was when he first rammed his (thankfully horn-less) head into your arm. You thought he just bumped into you, maybe he stumbled and to spare him embarrassment, you didn’t mention it.

But then it happened again, this time he made eye contact with you before shoving his scalp into your chest. You melted.

Satan’s so sweet to you, for real for real.

Lucifer purrs.

Now don’t ask him or accuse him of purring because he will deny it, vehemently.

((The Avatar of Pride does not purr, don’t be ridiculous, MC. (Lying through his teeth.))

You only had the opportunity to hear it once in your first year at RAD, the night before you left, he had let you hold his head in your lap and bask in the warmth of your stomach and thighs in between the other activities you did that night.

Lucifer’s eyes has lidded and he gaze up at you with near heart shaped pupils, eyes nearly completely red, and a low rumble began in his chest.

At first you had thought he was growling and you did something wrong, but when you had stiffened up for a brief instance, Lucifer had snuggled his face deeper into your skin.

Asmodeus rattles.

You can’t see where it’s coming from, but it sounds like a baby rattle or the rattle of a snake.

“MC!” [aggressive rattling]

It was really confusing the first couple times and you had to eventually ask if there was a bug somewhere. Asmo, naturally, got offended, but as soon as you told him it was okay and you were just curious, he tells you it means he’s happy.

Cutie Patootie!!

Belphegor licks.

Belphie doesn’t give short little kitten licks, he gives long, drawn out licks across whatever he can access easiest (usually your neck or chest). His tongue is rough and tends to feel a bit scratchy against your skin and sometimes catches on your clothes.

The first time it happened was shortly after the attic incident, and you had thought you were alone in your bed and nearly had a heart attack when a lazy, oddly thick tongue went over your exposed forearm.

You, as one does when startled, screamed.

Belphie leans upward with a grumble, eyes alert though. “What’re you screamin’ about, MC?”

Beelzebub bites and buzzes.

He tries to keep it to just licks, he knows his teeth are sharp :( and he’d hate to hurt you by accident. But after you get your pact and harming you becomes much more unbearable, he will play-bite much more often.

AND he buzzes (like a fly, teehee) when he is especially content.

Leviathan purrs(?).

It’s probably some deep sea monster echolocation thing, but the closest you can describe it as is a purr.

Now getting him to purr is harder than getting Lucifer to purr, he gets up in his own head a lot, so usually when he’s sleepy he purrs (maybe it’s a trill?) into your side.

Bonus for Memphis, TN. (Mephisto)

Since we have not seen his demon form (thx solmare), I have to use what I know of my babygirl to guess what he is like.

I think he probably taps MC with his cane, like a poke or something idk it’s cute give me more mephisto content pls.

[intimidating-fettuccine]

hi, like your writing alot, can i request ej with an so who likes to kiss his scars/him in general in an attempt to make him feel better?

Helloooo I hope you enjoy, I'm feeling a lil wonky myself today, so I tried to make this fluffy for you

Jack tries to insist oftentimes that he's perfectly fine and dandy, although that's not quite true. Most days he is alright, but there are a lot of times when his past and his trauma overwhelm him, where he gets incredibly depressed and despondent, but he does his best to hide it behind his stoic personality. To you, however, who knows him so well and notices all his signs and tells that could slip past others, it's quite obvious when he's in a depressive rut, as he is right now. It's upsetting to watch him try and work through these things alone, so of course you want to be there for him to help him, and the best way to do that is usually through physical affection. You've made it a routine to try and soothe him with touch, as you've found over time that he benefits greatly from it, as touch-starved as he is, and today is no different.

Being nocturnal, he usually doesn't wake up until late in the afternoon, and when you find him today it's obvious his lethargy is hitting him. He's normally up and getting dressed, but today he's lying in bed buried under the covers, showing no signs of moving anytime soon. As you move to crawl into his bed beside him, he turns immediately, sighing as he shoves his face into your chest and pulls you firmly against him, trying to snuggle all of his worries away. You're the only person he truly lets his guard down around, and as you move back to look at his face, the depression and worry lines are clearly sinking into him, and you're quick to cover his face in kisses, causing surprised noises to rise from him, but they're quickly replaced by purrs, his feline ears relaxing and his tail swishing back and forth. Your eyes trace over the various scars across his skin, scars Jack tries (and often succeeds to, due to his lack of vision) to forget about, your fingers moving to trace them gently. His body tenses a bit at the feeling of you caressing them, but the purrs continue to leave him as he headbutts into you gently, but you continue to do what you always do and move your lips across his scars.

It always flusters him when you do so, giving him a deep feeling in his chest he's not sure how to process, a feeling that makes him a little uncomfortable as he's not used to feeling it, but at the same time he doesn't want you to stop. He can't see the scars across his skin, some of them from work, some of them from the night he became a demon, some of them inflicted by his own hands during his darker nights, but he hates them. He can't see how they make him look, but the more insecure parts of his mind tell him they must make him look even more monstrous, and it's a sore spot for him, so for you to treat them so delicately, for you to lovingly kiss them in an attempt to make him feel better, it just deeply flusters him in a way he never thought he'd feel. Your repetitive attempts to do this to him over time have soothed his worries a lot, but it doesn't make him any less embarrassed every time you do it. It makes him happy that you love him so much, that you accept him and cherish him despite what he perceives to be flaws. He feels himself relaxing and his negative thoughts leaving him as your lips gently work their way across his face now, and his nose scrunches up when you intentionally try and tickle him with butterfly kisses, causing you to laugh at his adorable expression. It's a repetitive process you like to do, one that brings both of you joy, and while Jack never thought that it would do so, he feels so at peace knowing he's finally found someone who loves him enough to do things like this. While he was originally so shy about you doing things like this, there are lots of days where he finds himself missing this, finds himself wanting to find you, and ask you to do this to him, but you always seem to know just when he needs it. He loves you more than he ever thought he'd be able to love anything, and the fact that you clearly care about him so much increases that love tenfold. He feels himself drifting back off to sleep as you continue to kiss all over him, a smile on his face as peace runs through his mind, all thanks to you.

Cat Shinobu: She’s sort of mischievous she’d gently swat a things when you aren't looking. Or playfully flick her tail at your face when your sleep.

Cat Shinobu: She isn't overly clingy, but she would show affection in small, delicate gestures. She might nuzzle up to you for a few moments before walking away or give you a soft headbutt when you least expect it. Her affection would feel special because she wouldn’t give it constantly, but when she does, it’s meaningful and sweet.

Cat Shinobu: when you're up late doing work she’d hop on your desk to keep you company or sit in front of your computer and start at you tail flicking behind her as if saying ‘go to bed’.

Cat Misturi: She’s also incredibly playful always ready to chase toys around the house or engage in playful fighting with the other cats.

Cat Mitsuri: She's always purring. A constant source of happiness. Even the slightest bit of affection will have her purring up a storm.

Cat Mitsuri: She's also very curious about everything. Poking her head into boxes, bags anything that catches her interest.

——••————••——

Cat Obanai: He’s always following Misturi around keeping her safe and out of any trouble. (like getting her head stuck in a jar)

Cat Obanai: he doesn't really show much affection and prefers to watch from a distance. He's usually perched on a window seal where he can observe everything happening around him only approaching you when comfortable.

Cat Obanai: sometimes he’ll follow you silently a quiet sign of loyalty. Curling up nearby you only showing affection in small significant ways.

Cat Obanai: if he sees you're feeling particularly down he’ll let you get in a few pets and maybe touch his toes beans.

Cat Obanai: he hides under furniture when guests come. Watching them from a safe spot. He's also naturally stealthy. Slipping through rooms unnoticed you might only realize he's there when you catch a glimpse of him out of the corner of your eye.

Cat Obanai: he may not seem playful but he'd have moments where you'll catch him swatting at a toy or stalking the shadows. But he’ll immediately stop if he notices anyone watching. As if to maintain his cool, serious demeanor.

——••————••——

Cat Giyu: he's ones of the quietest out of your cats. He prefers to be alone always sitting in a quiet corner of the house.

Cat Giyu: He doesn't really seek out affection but he will show some in his own way. He might brush up against or sit near you. His affection would be subtle.

Cat Giyu: Shinobu pokes fun at him a lot so he often hides from her.

Cat Giyu: he's calm and not easily startled and would rarely be ratted by any noise even by the vacuum or a knock at the door.

Cat Giyu: He doesn't meow just communicates in slow blinks and purrs.

——••————••——

Cat Sanemi: He isnt afraid ot anything wether its another animal, the vaccum or a large dog he stands his ground. Hissing or swatting to protect his territory.

Cat Sanemi: Hes another one of your energetic cats always on the move. he'd love to climb, explore high places, and dash around the house sometimes kicking thigs over.

Cat Sanemi: he doesnt like to be held or coodled. He prefers doing his own thing and doesn't seek out affection often, but when he does its on his own terms.

Cat Sanemi: He hissed and swatted at Genya when you first brought him home. Sanemi made you think he didn't like him but you sometimes see him discreetly head-butting Genya in a loving way or them sleeping together.

Cat Sanemi: he’s stubborn he wouldnt respond to training or rules easily and might act aloof or grumpy most of the time. (but he doesn't secretly care for you).

Cat Sanemi: If you try and get him to stop doing something he'd likely dig in his paws and resist determined to do what he wants.

spencer idea!

he is having the reader over for like the 3rd ish time yes they met on a dating app

but this time reader is so excited because it’s their first sleepover and they play games and hang out!!!

I’ll Make You Banana Pancakes

pairing: spencer agnew x f!reader

a/n: ANON I LOVE THIS!! ugh he’s so cutie. also this is short n sweet but i hope u enjoy either way!!

requests are open <33

it started with a swipe. spencer's profile, with pictures of him at comic-con and a shelf lined with action figures in the background of a picture of him and his friends, caught your eye immediately. your heart raced as you read through his bio, filled with references to your favorite games, movies, and tv shows. you couldn't believe your luck – it was like someone had designed a profile just for you.

your first conversation was effortless, flowing from one topic to another as you discovered more things about him that you adored. within days, you were spending evenings chatting about your favorite franchises and playing runescape together. you’d already met in person a couple of times, each date better than the last, leading up to this third and much-anticipated meeting.

and so here you are. stood at his apartment door, heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nerves. he opens the door, and his warm smile puts you at ease instantly.

“hello there.” he says

“general kenobi!” you reply, in your best greivous voice.

he smiles widely at this, and you step inside. you notice the table set up with your favorite snacks – sweet and salty popcorn, sour patch kids, and a mt dew kickstart. the gesture is small but meaningful, and it made you feel seen, your chest growing warm as you settled onto the couch. you feel a blush creep up your cheeks. being known in this way, having your preferences remembered, makes you feel special. it’s a new feeling, one that makes you feel really, really happy, but vulnerable almost. you’re kind of shy at first, not knowing what to do with yourself, but the comfort of his presence makes it easier to relax.

you start with a few rounds of mario kart, laughter and warmth filling the room as you battle for first place. after a particularly intense race, you pull out your secret weapon – a copy of spyro for the ps4. you flash him a confident grin.

"watch me crush this," you declare, eyes sparkling with excitement. “it’s my party trick!”

as you play through the fight between spyro and gnasty gnorc, you expertly navigate the world as you chase and headbutt him, eventually earning all 500 gems.

you stand up and raise your hands in victory and shout “OH YEAH! told you!”

sitting back down, spencer tells you how impressed he is, and you bow. he tells you all about how he and his friends used to play spyro as kids, leading you to spend hours reminiscing about your favorite childhood games. the conversation flows, and by now pretty late, so you decide to watch cowboy bebop in his bedroom. cuddled on his bed, the familiar intro song plays softly as you sing along. it’s a perfect end to a perfect day.

eventually, you lie down with him, your legs tangling together under the covers. the closeness is comforting, a silent promise of many more nights like this to come. you drift off to sleep with a smile on your face, feeling safe in the gentle embrace of his arms.

the morning comes around, and you wake up to the sound of soft jazz music spilling from the kitchen, and the delicious aroma of pancakes. you then tiptoe to the kitchen doorway and watch him for a moment, completely absorbed in his movements. the sight makes your chest warm with affection, and you can't help but giggle softly.

your giggle catches his attention, and he turns around with a smile.

“morning princess. sleep well?” he says, turning back around to the stove

“mhm.” is all you manage to reply, head still foggy with sleep.

you walk over to him, heart swelling with emotion, and you gently kiss his cheek and lean your head on his shoulder, the moment feeling both intimate and perfect. you stand there in the kitchen, surrounded by the scent of pancakes and the sound of old jazz, enjoying the simple but profound pleasure of being together with your dream man. and you were happy.

[eldritchsp00ks]

Random thought!

Since Shockwave doesn't have a mouth, he'd nuzzle his partner instead of giving them kisses!!

Just like a cat!! Little headbutts against their head/Helm when he wants to show affection

(he'd 100% purr too even through he'd refuse to admit it)

Christmas Joy

CS: Ghost gets some presents

It's Christmas.

It's supposed to be one of the happiest times of the year. Food, warmth, family time, and presents.

Christmas was very fun with your family and a lot happened, so it was a big contrast from here on base.

Of course you liked spending time with your 141 squad, but if you spent another week with them, especially when Christmas cheer was literally here, you were gonna headbutt them.

However, you got them presents anyway. Soap got a razor kit and appreciated as you noticed he loved his mohawk so much.

Gaz got a case for his missing equipment as he was known for misplacing his things sometimes.

Price got a better hat, since the one he always wears was starting to wear out. It looked like he had dug it up from someone's grave, you'd say. He laughed and took the hat appreciatively.

He watched as you looked around for the tallest man on the squad, holding a medium sized box. Where was he…?

Price frowns. "Looking for Ghost?", he asks. You turn to him, slightly sheepish. "Yeah. He in his room?"

He sighs. "He just might be. He… Christmas isn't exactly a good holiday for him. Never has been.", Price explained, scratching his beard.

You frowned, understanding. You knew Ghost was… standoffish, to say the least. He didn't often show emotions or expressions aside from a sarcastic smile here and there.

You figured he had to have had a rough childhood from the way he talked, or behaved. He never talked about his family much, so it kinda made sense.

Even still, everyone deserves a good Christmas. Even Ghost.

With an appreciative nod, you left to find Ghost's room. Upon approaching the room, you begin to get hesitant and curious. How much has Christmas affected his life? What happened?

Would he even like the gifts you got him…?

It was Ghost. He was blunt, unhesitant. He'd be straight with you and you'd have to do your best not to take it to heart.

But the thought of that made you nervous. As you walked up to his door, you thought about just leaving the present there, doing a little dingdong ditch for him.

But before you could, a rumbled voice came from behind the door. "Come on.", you heard.

You took a deep breath and opened the door. Peeking inside, you could see how minimal his room was. He just had a desk, his bed and a lamp. Very minimal, you thought almost unimpressed.

There he was, laying on his bed wearing nothing but his usual balaclava, a black turtleneck and cargo pants.

How could he sleep in those?

Stepping in, you closed the door and gave him a smile. "Hey, LT." You walked up to him, standing just a few feet away from him.

You see his dark eyes drift to the box in your hands. "What's that?", he asks.

"Uh.. a present? I got everyone else one, and I wanted to get you too. Didn't want you to be left out.", you confessed with a shy smile.

Despite his balaclava covering his whole face aside from his eyes, you could've sworn his eyebrows rose in curiosity.

He let out a sigh through his nose and sat up. "Give it 'ere.", he mumbled. Your smile grew as you handed it to him.

He held the box and patted next to him on his bed, which you happily took the chance to sit.

He looked down at the neatly wrapped box, tempted to even shake it as he looked at you with a curious, but warning look.

"No pranks, promise.", you reassured. The man sighed again and unwrapped the box, finally opening it to see another wrapped present, a smaller box and a pair of tactical gloves.

He took the tactical gloves out first and examined them. They looked like his usual skull ones, but brand-new.

He looked at you, waiting for an explanation. "I figured you were gonna need some soon. You're wearing out the ones you have now, and those will take a while for you to wear out.", you say, and he nods, setting them aside.

He picked up the smaller box and opened it, revealing a nice watch. He didn't wear any jewelry aside from his dog tags.

If you could call them jewelry, that is.

He glanced at you, slightly amused. "This your way of telling me I have no sense of fashion, Sergeant?"

You chuckled. "Maybe."

He shook his head, and put it on his desk. The last present, you were really thoughtful for. It took a while to find all the materials and have someone help you with it.

This one… you really hoped he liked.

He picked up the last present, curious and finally opened it. He paused.

It was a tactical knife, sheathed in a black leather sheath. He pulled the knife out of its covering and his eyes widened a bit.

The base of the knife was made of black steel, while the edge, the blade, was covered in a white permanent coating.

On the side, however, was engraved with a writing that stated: S. Riley

The writing was on both sides. Even the handle had a neat, little skull carved into it.

You bit your lip as you watched him examine it. Did he like it?

He rubbed the cool base of the knife with his thumb, the pad running over his engraved name.

He was almost… speechless. And that didn't happen very often. He set the knife back into its sheath and sat it down on his desk, next to his watch.

He looked at you once more. He was unsure what to do. He wasn't expecting to give anyone any presents, much less receive any.

He wasn't prepared.

You noticed his weariness, his hesitation and uncertainty. Smiling softly, you gave him a hug. "Merry Christmas, Simon."

He stiffened for a moment before wrapping his arms around you. It took some getting used to, but once he found himself getting comfortable, he grew to like the affection.

"Thank you…"

A week after Christmas, the squad was back to work. As Ghost got himself ready, he took his knife with him, and picked up his watch. As his fingers ran over the backside, he felt indistinctive lines carved into it and turned it around to see it engraved in a date.

10.28.XXXX

This... Was the date you two met the first time of your recruitment.

The corners of his lips lifted a bit as he put it on, covering it with his sleeve. He finally put his gloves on, the material instantly warming his usual cold hands.

They weren't enough to make his hands sweaty, but enough to get his blood pumping through them.

He looked around his room once more before leaving.

[juulded]

I love the cellbit headcanon that he's a cat hybrid... but you know what I love even more? that qcellbit is simply "cat coded".

Like, he's not a cat hybrid but he's nocturnal, and has this necessity to guard the ones he loves at night in case of a threat. He's not a cat hybrid but he hates showers. He's not a cat hybrid but he has these big grey blueish eyes that pierce through your freaking soul. He's not a cat hybrid but he loves the feeling of hunting. He's not a cat hybrid but he headbutts Roier constantly. He's not a cat hybrid but he's fast and agile in a fight, not quite the strogest, but still could seriously damage you (and kill you<3). He's not a cat hybrid but he makes little sounds. He's not a cat hybrid but he enjoys affection quite a lot until he doesn't and wants you to leave him the fuck alone ew get off of me. He's not a cat hybrid but he always forget to cut his nails so they are normally long and, for some reasong, sharp. He's not a cat hybrid, but he kills and shows it to Bad... like a cat bringing you a dead mouse or bird cause he loves you.

He's not a cat hybrid, just a human that for some fucking reason resembles a cat too much.

[pianocat939]

Hiya! I had a request for the Rise!Turtles with a MC who shows affection through randomly head butting them (softly), holding their hand out of nowhere, or saying their name randomly from time to to time-

Oh! They also like to poke or touch their face but will ask first if they are okay with it beforehand

You can decide if you want to take this idea in a yandere direction or not <3

This is my non-yan request in a while, always nice to change genres occasionally.

Rats Live In My Locker:

I would say he's the 2nd most physically affectionate of the four. So he likes the hand-holding and soft head butts.

As he is spikey, he's careful not to bump into you at the wrong angle. Same with hand-holding, as his hand is much larger than yours.

His tail might wag a little when you call him "Raph". But if you call him "Raphie" or some other pet name he's going to be all blushy-dushy.

Is confused at first, but finds it cute that you want to poke/touch his face.

"Hm? What is it?" Raph asks, staring at you.

"Nothing. I just wanted to hold your hand." You lightly squeeze his hand, a silent gesture of affection.

He bends down and nuzzles your cheek, letting out little churrs. "Aw...Thanks."

L'Oreal Squid Ink Cream:

Finds the headbutting a little annoying, but hand-holding is definitely liked. He likes to pet your knuckles whenever you put together the handsies.

Boosts his ego a little whenever you call his name randomly, especially if you say some shit like "My champion" or some other title (he's super fucking self-conscious so it's nice to have a little love).

You don't even have to ask to touch his face! As many of us know, Red-Eared Sliders court others by waving their hands in front of faces and touching them. So it's very well welcomed by Leo.

"Leo, come here." You call out, trying to catch his attention.

He saunters over, grinning lazily, "Yeah?"

You reach up and give his face a few taps, gently drumming your fingers against his skin.

"Hm~ You know how to make my day, don't you?"

Decorative Mayo Baby Figurines:

Alright, we have come to the man who does not like physical touch. Here's the thing, no he doesn't prefer it, but at times he will indeed allow you to touch him (just as he does with Mikey).

I would say hand-holding is ok, headbutting is a little iffy, and definitely, no touching the face.

Reacts indifferently to the name-calling, but if it's a pet name then he might crack a smile.

Once in a blue moon, he'll hold your hand first. And when he does, you better fucking cherish it.

"What's the occasion?" You look down at your intertwined hands, slightly flustered.

He hesitates, turning away, "Nothing...Just felt a little lonely, that's all."

"Well, I appreciate that you're willing to let me hold your hand."

"Mh." He grunts, feeling timid.

Morphine Grandma Ate Wood:

We all know he loves physical affection. It's literally his love language. So headbutting, hand-holding, touching his face, he indulges himself.

Lets out very loud chirps and churrs when you hold his hand, it's his favourite of the three actions. Might envelop you into a hug on impulse.

Whenever you give the tappies to his face he'll sneak a peck or two because he's a little devious. And when I say one or two, it can be either one or two, or a thousand. He just really loves giving you kisses for no reason.

You gently headbutt his head, startling him a little. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

He turns to face you before quickly giving a kiss on your cheek, grinning brightly. "No worries. I was just caught off-guard, that's all."

"You're a dork."

"Indeed I am."

HELLO NOT A REQUEST BUT ID LIKE TO DROP A BRAINROT THOUGHT I HAD!

Just read through your "how the brothers show affection" hcs and I sat there and thought "man I'd probably do that back no questions asked"

>Attempting to mimic Levi's Purrs/Trilling (and completely mutilating it but oh my demons he is FLUSTERED. Ask him to teach you and bro passes away)

>Softly biting Mammon (open mouth and slobbering on his jacket lmao) or straight up doing bird-style contact calling (I chirp and whistle at my pet bird she loves it and demands pets)

>Headbutting Satan in the arm (and then maybe doing some face nuzzles like cat becuase I think he'd melt)

>Nibbling at Beel, like if he feeds you a food just nip softly at his fingers (or like absent-mindedly chew on his forearm)

>Brat vs Brat Violence with Belphie waking up to find his whole face has been licked (smug bastard about it because he kinda smells like you now)

Idk it kinda just clicked in my head bc I do these things a lot and I wanted to share my brain juice

HELLO thank u for the ask and your comments on the rb and I LOVE THIS!!

post they’re referring to here

- i think levi would pass away then and there if while you guys are just hanging out, you start trying to make those noises. i imagine mild confusion anf then it clicks and he goes red in the face and falls backwards.. its like u suddenly reminded him he likes u and thats so embarrassing on his end >_< silly little otaku

- the mammon point you have made the slobber part really resonates with me <3 i would love to get his jacket covered in drool no reason other than to be a menace, and its more than fair!! you probably have bite marks and assorted demon afflicted marks on your clothes!!

- with satan i can see a headbutt compitition brewing. he does it, you do it (but harder), he goes slightly harder, and the good thing is u can almost always win!! he knows at some point if you dont give up he’ll end up hurting you.. its all in good fun, so the only way u lose is if you get interrupted by someone

- biting beel.. i like to think the demons in general have thicker skin if u know what i mean… hilarious to think that he doesn’t even know what youre doing or that it happened the first couple of times you went in for a bite 😭

like beel nibbles u a little and goes back to whatever he was doing idk, then in the back of his mind he thinks ‘hm something touched my arm’ completely not registering that was u going ham trying to dent his thick skin

- personally im not a licker, but i can also see compitition between you and belphie where at the end you both have to take a shower and change clothes becasue your licking went too far ☹️

[thelampisaflashlight]

The ghouls, but I reveal how I actually headcanon them personality wise. Below the cut.

Aether: Plays at being timid/submissive, but uses it to provoke bigger/wilder responses, because he likes seeing people go absolutely bonkers when he flips the switch and goes ham himself.

He enjoys instigating things and then letting the other person take over, because it’s that much more entertaining when he starts taking control again.

It’s like a cat showing its belly.

You were never in control of the situation.

An absolute nightmare when paired up with Swiss during trips to bars, because neither of them are playing around with the macho meathead bullshit.

Dewdrop: Fairly subdued overall, but he’s easily stirred up/teased into doing some crazy ass shit.

Definitely loves chaos and all it brings, though he’s not opposed to the idea of softness and a quiet day to himself.

More of a “Just because I’m alone doesn’t mean I’m lonely.” type which often gets misread as him being aloof/cold for not always enjoying having company.

The friend who gives you a heartfelt pep talk, but calls you a little bitch (affectionate) at the end of it.

Side hug kinda guy.

Multi/Swiss: Buys fancy mixed drinks with his dinner and enjoys them without joking about it in that, “Aw, couldn’t they have given it to me in a different glass?” kind of way.

Not afraid to be vibrant and colorful in the way he acts or speaks, and encourages his friends to do the same and appreciate the good things in life without feeling a need to hide it.

Will make people argue in circles for hours if they try to give him a hard time.

“Yes, but if that were true, this-” 

He’s quite proud of it.

Rain: He’s a sweetheart, and genuinely quite sweet, but he will also do the weirdest shit knowing no one will believe it was him who did it. 

Never anything malicious though.

Unless you count biting.

Because I feel like Rain is the biter here, not any worse than Dewdrop, but he’s the type who waits until he sees an opening that will maximize reactions with minimal effort.

In short; “I would very much like to make you scream.”

Mountain: The guy who keeps you safe at a metal show by standing behind you the whole time like an ominous obelisk of a man. 

Resting bitch face to the max until he’s leaning down and asking if you’re gonna finish the rest of your donut and let’s out a slow, “Yoooo...” when you let him have it.

I cannot emphasize enough the slowness of the yo.

Would let you sleep in his bed... without him in it.

Teamed up with Rain, you are 1000% in for the weirdest adventures, and you’ll never be able to recreate the experience with anyone else.

Cumulus: An absolute sweetie, who could probably bench every member of the band with ease.

She’s the person who asks if she can try picking you up, and then proceeds to do so both emotionally and physically.

Lifts Cirrus all the time because she can.

Shows affection through hugs, kisses, and headbutts.

Mildly concussed?

Good.

Cirrus: Confident in who she is, and straightforward with how she thinks and feels, although she can often be a bit too blunt.

Joins Aether and Swiss in getting rude people to talk themselves into a corner in the best/worst way possible.

Has “You’re in her DMs, but I’m living in her head rent free.” energy and she knows it.

Sunshine: Gives off a playful and innocent air, but with an edge that indicates that that’s definitely not always the case.

Doesn’t play games when it comes to the safety of herself or her friends, and can go from joking around to deadly serious at the drop of a hat.

I don’t know why, but I can see her getting into a bar fight alongside the others if they saw someone being a dickhead, and would wear any bruises she gets from it as a badge of honor.

Has a solid punch, but you really have to look out for her legs, because she kicks like a horse and will knock your ass across the room.

Since you also mentioned you like Marnie/Bede/Hop, how do you interpret that dynamic from the romance perspective?

HI!1 I don't exactly sure how to describe their dynamic but it'll try

Bede’s n Marnie’s dynamic is a weird mix of romantic and platonic. There’s definitely something going on there but it doesn’t have to be strictly romantic. (Due to conflicting genders/sexualities lol) While both of their relationships with Hop are very much romantic.

I think it’d be funny if Bede had no idea that he was in a relationship till like. 2 months into it. It’s not because no one told him, it’s cause Bede wasn’t really paying attention, Hop tried to make it clear they were going on a date with Marnie and it flew over Bede’s head lol

Hop tries to avoid doing tasks/chores by trying to convince Mars n Bede to do em for him with kisses. Usually works for Bede

Bede steals jackets. Marnie doesn’t care since he was multiple jackets to wear but Hop only has one so whenever Bede grabs it he just has to deal with it.

Hop is the designated cuddlebug. He cannot sit down without Mars putting his head on his lap or Bede leaning his head on his shoulder. There have been times where Hop has arrived late to the lab because Bede n Mars would simply. Not let him go

Marnie gives Hop guitar lessons occasionally. Marnie also plays guitar for him n bede, private concert

Hop loves to play with their hair when they’re bored or stressed. Sometimes he’ll braid Marnie’s hair or run his hand through Bede’s. Hop can’t style hair lol, so his braids are often very loose.

Marnie bites as affection. Hop headbutts. Bede insults lol

I do think Marnie n Hop bicker a little, not as much as him n Bede though. I like to think Marnie’s really stubborn and a little chaotic, Hop keeps him in check

Bede is good at baking, he’ll bake Hop some treats to eat at the lab. Marnie is a big foodie and pesters him constantly for food. On the bright side, Bede has someone to taste new recipes.

I said this in my pastelgoth post but I think Marnie and Bede would get competitive with each other over basically anything. I think this also happens with Hop and Bede’s jealousy does not help lol. They basically try to ‘steal’ Hop from each other. They never really take it seriously though

Hop’s mum loves them, she loves to show em Hop’s baby pictures. Bede was anxious to meet Hop’s family, she was practically sweating buckets through the whole meeting. Marnie wasn’t, he kept asking for second servings though. I think Opal would be delighted that Bede’s getting out more often and that he’s found people who care about him, she still teases the hell out of him though. I think Piers doesn’t really care who Marnie’s dating, as long as nothing bad happens I do think Leon would be a little hesistant, especially when it comes to Bede. I have this idea that Leon just wants the best for Hop and makes him think Hop can always do better, no matter who the person is. I believe that Bede would try his best to win Leon over but it always backfires and makes Leon even more suspicious of him. Cue Marnie who’s doing everything he can to bother Leon for fun

TY TY TY FOIR ASK!! I APPRECIATE EM!!

[p1nkc4lyps0]

the fun combination of my autism making me not feel like a person and my aromantism meaning everything I've learnt about relationships and expressing attraction is through observation has lead to one strange and a little annoying realisation.

I do not think I understand why we don't express attraction in certain ways.

Why is it abnormal to headbutt or bite or press/rub against your partner like an animal?? Gently, of course, but why don't we just press our faces into one another like how cats sometimes do?? Is that not a way of showing affection to us?? Like, yeah, I don't feel like I'm actually a person, so a little biased, but like... why???

I know some people do these things romantically (I think), like not talking about hickies or anything but gentle bites on the arm and stuff, but that's apparently not the normal thing to do?? Some people press their foreheads together to be closer, but I'm talking like... pressing your face into another person like how ponyo does.

I just don't understand why we don't get a little funky with our affection, and if we do, why isn't it "natural"

[prettyboykatsuki]

Ever since you left Ochako’s parents house, your girlfriend hasn’t uttered a single word to you. 

Though she offered voluntarily, to walk you down to the place where your car was parked before going home - she hasn’t said anything. Even when you attempt to make conversation, she’s given you a frowny look. Little short, unenthusiastic responses that don’t give you much to work off of. 

And now she’s gone silent, biting the inside of her lip with an expression you can’t read. It’s making you nervous. 

Tonight was the formal parent dinner with your girlfriends parents. And, in your opinion, you think it went extremely well. Her parents are what you’d imagined them to be. Hard-working, simple, genuine. The conversation was easy and he father worked the grill as you drank and ate. 

It wasn’t the first time you’d met them, but this was the official introduction. You brought something homemade and your girlfriend seemed happy during said dinner. You were doing your best to be impressive and charming, working magic to try and sweep them off their feet. 

Because you’ve always known how much she cares about her parents. You thought you were doing a good job. You were... pretty sure you were doing a good job. 

But you can’t help but doubt from the way she’s all but avoiding you. You stop in your tracks, hands in your pockets. She stops when she notices you but doesn’t say anything. 

“Baby,” You sigh, giving her a despairing look “What’s wrong?” 

“What do you mean?” 

You sigh again, stepping closer to her as she obviously avoids your gaze. 

“C’mon. You’re not even looking at me. I don’t wanna go home when you’re like this.” 

“I’m not like anything.” She says, defiant in a familiar way. You soften, stepping to her again before slowing reaching your hands out. She doesn’t immediately move from your touch, so you cup her jaw. 

“Baby, please just tell me what happened, yeah? I thought dinner went well. Did I say something? Did I make ya mad?” 

“No. That’s—It’s not—It’s not that,” She affirms. She grips the front of your jacket and you look at her in surprise “The dinner did go well.” 

“So why’ve you been looking at me like you wanna toss me through a window? Hm?” 

Your stupid joke makes her crack a smile, a fact that makes her more frustrated. She’s holding onto your lapel tighter this time, inching closer to you. She’s so cute like this, despite your concerns. You give her a minute, watching her turn whatever turmoil she’s experience in her head. 

She looks up at you, all big brown eyes and annoyance before you feel her headbutt your chest lightly. Confused, you simply wait. 

“It’s just—I like you.” 

You’re lost. It must show on your face. 

“MMf,” She wraps your arms around her waist, and you hug her without her asking. Her chin rests on your rib, looking up you “I was just thinking about how..nice it was. That you and my parents got along. It was like everything made sense.” 

You rub her back soothingly, letting her talk. Affection bleeds out of you as you listening, humming so she can keep going. 

“Even my dad likes you and he’s so protective of me. And my mom was blushing the whole time she talked to you, I mean seriously—she’s never like that. You went to the bathroom and she was practically gushing, it was so embarassing.” 

You beam at her, laughing a little. 

“And it just—I started thinking about it. About you. I really like you. My parents like you. It just felt so perfect.” 

“You’re losing me, Princess.” 

She frowns at you. 

“I’m being serious!” 

“So am I,” You reassure, running your hands up her back “I don’t see the issue.” 

“The issue is—what if we break up? What if.. we have some big break-up and then you know, I move on. And I bring home someone and they’re not you. What if my parents don’t like them? Or my friends don’t? And what if they don’t make the same effort like you do. I don’t want that. It’s not gonna be the same, it’s—“

Before you know it, your girlfriend is weeping in your arms. She’s hardly a cry-baby but she’s sobbing. Half-way between endeared and concerned, you soothe her with a soft laugh. 

“Stop laughing.” 

“I’m not laughin’ at you baby, but you’re thinking way too hard about that. Way too hard.” 

“I’m not,” She whines, rubbing her cheek against you “I’m being serious. I don’t wanna break up with you.” 

“I’m not planning to.” 

“But what about in the future.” 

You smile. 

“I can’t predict the future, sweet girl,” You coo, leaning down to press a kiss to her forehead “I’m not a psychic. Anything can happen, so I don’t know what’ll change. Maybe nothing, maybe everything.” 

You pull back to cup her face in your hands, thumb wiping her tears, 

“I know that I’d pick up no matter when you call.  I know I’d steal the sun out of the sky if you asked me just one time.” 

“What if the sun gets lonely. Or if I ask you for more just because.”  

“Then I’ll go back and take the moon. I’ll even burn my hands on the stars so you can see them. Whatever you want, baby. I’m yours.” 

“...I love you. Thanks for coming to dinner. ”

You kiss her soft, smiling against her mouth. “

“Love you too, ‘chako.”

ofmd s2e4 rewatch where i pause to jot down my thoughts and other random shit

it's been a busy week since last thursday and shit's only gonna get busier for me after tomorrow so hopefully i can get through these two episodes out before i go to bed lol!!! anyway once again these posts are just me rambling so i can process the insane amount of information in these episodes and if u want to read them too that's fine.

s2e1, s2e2, s2e3, s2e4, s2e5, s2e6, s2e7, s2e8

rip everyone who wanted homoerotic sword fighting in the gentebeard reunion. have a headbutt as a consolation prize.

obsessed with stede holding raw room-temperature meat against his bruised face bc that's not even a little bit how that works. i love this show.

ok so jim saying "he'll probably get around to killing you after he's rested" in response to stede saying ed needs to regain his strength actually gives some pretty good context to why they want ed of the ship so bad. bc they DID fully try to kill ed and now he's here and alive and like. if i were jim i would be pretty worried abt ed holding a grudge abt that.

wont lie stede being like "we dont just banish people, that's not us!" makes me thinkg abt how they fully banished izzy from the ship in e6. i mean technically izzy banished himself on accident but. lol.

also izzy's absence in this scene indicating he is not yet considered part of the entire crew

roach: i need that steak back, it's dinner stede: (pulling the steak away) oh, right fang: maybe let's put the banishment to a vote? stede: (steak back on his face, apparently having forgotten he was literally just about to give the meat to roach) aw do we have to :(

ed chained to the ship is doing. a lot for me. i wont lie.

buttons saying he's been to the gravy basket a few times... how many times has this man almost died??????

it is deeply funny to me that they edit the split second flashback of the drowning and mermaid hallucination to look all creepy as if that whole scene wasn't set to an incredibly sappy 80's love song (said with immense affection)

OBSESSED with stede trying to be like. encouraging to izzy. and being like "he cant hear you he's got no head" about izzy yelling at the ruined figurehead. this fucking dork.

so ive seen ppl talking abt how the crew's in a deadlock abt banishing ed and which ppl they think were pro-banishment and which were against, but the scenes with the crew make it look like everyone's voting for ed to get kicked out. so tbh i think like either of the following interpretations are pretty valid: the crew is split 50/50 on if they should banish ed OR the crew 100% wants to banish ed and stede was gonna try and leverage izzy's vote to try and get more ppl to change their mind. doesnt rlly matter either way tho

also the fact that izzy was the one to keep ed's body is. interesting. the others must've known abt it and helped izzy hide the body in the secret room. but izzy being the one to be like "no we're not throwing him overboard" is. something. no conclusions abt this atm im just rotating this fact in my brain.

i also just have a lot of thoughts abt the mutiny and the fact that like, jim's a trained assassin and the others are also pretty experienced killers and they probably knew they hadn't completely finished the job. and there was plenty of opportunity for them to do something about that. but instead they hid his body and waited for ed to succumb to his injuries. it feels kinda like ed's "technically i outsource the big job" rule. idk. thoughtssss.

frenchie in this scene is so funny bc he seems both actually apologetic abt kicking ed off the ship but also very relieved/vindicated to see him go.

didnt realize olu almost said smthng to ed lol i thought ed was just saying "fuck you" to him for no reason ghfjkghjkfh

"first time i've ever been on this side of a walk of shame" wee john i have so many questions. how many times have you been banished from a ship.

obsessed with archie just being like "way to make this awkward brah." her shitty boss put her life at risk in an attempt to make her and her coworkers kill him in a weird roundabout suicide attempt and her summary of the situation is "well, this is awkward :/"

"shitty sailing with you" sick burn, jim

"you're making it really hard to look up to you, man" LOVE how black pete is still a blackbeard stan. despite everything.

just ONCE i want someone to appreciate roach's sandwiches :(

"dont you want your sammy" STEDE I WOULD DIE FOR YOU

also i disagree with the subtitles here im like 99% sure says "you're no fuckin mermaid" not "you're not a fuckin mermaid" but that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

stede looks SO sad abt not being a mermaid

love how everyone in this episode just sort of nods and is like "yeah okay" every time buttons tells them he's turning into a bird

altho with stede in this scene specifically im convinced that he's just jumping at the chance to follow ed to the island. he was absolutely gonna come up with some shitty excuse to go ashore anyway but it's nice of buttons to give him plausible deniability

i love how much ed hates nature

why do the subtitles say "gyp-" this has been bothering me all week. the line is "like a drifter"

i also love ed's line delivery of "a wolf?"

anyway dumb posts abt the spider tattoo backstory: 1, 2, 3

i love to see ed getting hugs... wish i could give him a hug :(

ok also buttons talking abt the gravy basket made me think ed needed like some sort of spell or smthng to snap out of it but instead it just kinda wore off by the end of the episode (maybe, depends on how you read the whole buttons turning into a bird scene). this is very funny to me for some reason

anne rubbing the cup she's holding against her tit. queen.

stede bonnet idiot dumbfuck moments

i LOVE anne's line delivery of "eddie motherfuckin teeeeach" like yeah that's cj's girl alright. or was cj's girl. who knows.

SECRET HANDSHAKE im cryinggggg. i love them.

stede's voice sounds so weird when he says "i wasn't looking for you" and that's because he's fucking lying through his teeth

LOVE how anne and mary look at each other after the "shipmates" "former" interaction like they are immediately on the same wavelength. and that wavelength is fucking with ed and his ex. they sniffed out a messy relationship dynamic and were like "oh hell yeah we need more of this in our lives"

ed is SO bitchy this whole scene i fucking love it. ed's face when he says "him?" fdhjksgfjhdgkj

ed: whatever 🙄 anne: whatever? 👀 mary: whatever! 😈

wee john getting more goth is so good

drunk izzy rambling at the ship's figurehead is so funny to me tho i miss drunk izzy

ed's crew lady macbeth "out damned spot" moments

i like how there's a goat in the background of this scene in anne and mary's house and it is unexplained and also never seen again.

ed's face after stede says "that's romance" is soooo good this bitch is so pissed. like oh would you have met me at the docs if i peeled the guard's face off instead of just paying him off? is that what fuckin does it for you???? not that it matters bc i dont care. but. cunt.

yeah im just focusing in on all of ed's faces in this scene. "quite the shift going from wearing people's faces to antique collectors" gets ed to freeze in the middle of bringing his drink up to his lips and just kinda stare off into the distance.

"how did you meet" has ed kind of frowning for a split second before stede starts answering and then he rolls his eyes very dramatically and sighs deeply

ed immediately being like "actually i was gonna kill him myself!" trying to undermine stede's meet-cute story. also anne and mary nodding along in complete unison bc this is just normal pirate conversation to them.

~~~

also as someone who has been team "no ed was dead serious abt the plan to steal stede's identity" this was very vindicating for me. it's a bad plan and it doesn't make any sense but logistics literally dont matter in this show. what matters is giving this story the "falling for the mark" trope makes ed's character arc in season 1 that much tastier!!!!

ed and stede going back and forth telling their story i cant fucking wait until theyre happily together telling this story and instead of ed trying to downplay it and ruin the meet-cute-iness of it they're just building on each other and being sappy and adorable

"more like i relented" one of the biggest lies i've ever heard this man say fjhkgjkfdhk

"until he completely boned it" SAY IT. FUCKING SAY IT. SOOOOO TRUE ED.

auauhghgh the beard bit......... crying

THE!!!!! QUIETEST LITTLE "thank you" OF ALL TIME. TIED MAYBE WITH ED SAYING "thank you" AFTER "i think you're very sophisticated" IN 1.05

i dont blame stede for trying to get ed to open up right after that bc that was the first bone ed's thrown stede's way since he woke up. unfortunately ed is not in the mood to talk abt his near-death experience and mermaid hallucination sequence.

LOVE anne's little gesture when she says "rabbit" and the little hip cocking

stede being like "uhhhh we could leave" during the knifeplay exhibitionism moment

i giggle every time at the way the crew is instantly like "fuck closing our eyes we're doing any fucking surprises"

ngl idgw the crew yelled abt the piñata reveal. but ok

loooove stede's half of the crew just blowing past all the screaming and tension from ed's half. jim screams "STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!!" abt the blindfold and roach is like "you won't want to stay the fuck away from this caaaake!" like roach fdhsjfgdhfjkghkj read the room?????

i love how much stede just. completely misses all of annie's flirting

ed coughing during the blunt session i love himmmmm

ok but ed's trying to be like "im totally over stede i dont even like him" and then ed reminiscing fondly with a distant smile abt the 1.06 stabbing scene

"and that was the... second time you left your wife?" underrated line

love how annie's been all quiet and seductive and then when she goes to make her move she's just like "WOUND THIS" and aggressively sits in stede's lap

also ok. "they're gonna be so jealous" is that annie talking abt ed and mary or is that annie using they/them pronouns for mary.

BUTTONS JUMPSCARE

also i love how they have that one medusa painting just. in their kitchen. im obsessed with the interior decor of this lesbian antique store that annie and mary live in

the way she's so touched by the poisoning attempt hjfgfjksghskjhgjkh

buttons being like "aahhhhhh do i give her... this bowl......????" fhjkghkfsjhk

"yeah, babe" TEALORANGES WIN

im honestly sad izzy's pathetic wet beast moment only really went for like three tiny scenes in one episode bc this shit was so funny to me. crawling away saying "you're born alone you die alone" over and over again. sir what are you even doing.

god buttons in this episode is so fucking funny bc i keep forgetting he's there. also why is he even there. like was he even invited to dinner or did he just sit down and annie and mary were like "oh ok i uh. guess we'll go make another plate??"

ed's face after buttons says the bit abt "i can tell this rabbit was intelligent" is soooo funny why is he so fucking pissed fdhsjkgyjdfkghjk

NO WAIT HE'S PISSED BC THAT WAS HIS FRIEND. THAT WAS HIS FRIEND THE WOLF HE WAS TELLING HIS SECRETS. NOW IM KINDA SAD :(:(:(

stede talking abt the sea when what he's actually talking abt is ed part 2 electric boogaloo

ed very calmly. standing up. and smashing the chair. im obsessed with him.

stede bonnet stupid dumbass moments

IMPROMPTU BLANKET FORT TIME

ed's voice is so quiet at the start of this scene he's not even yelling at stede until stede says "it's not fair" ohhhhhh my babygirl is so fucking sad........

"you ditching me without a note or anything" ed's literacy confirmed

"expecting me to just melt back into your arms" eddie my man. stede has not given literally any indication that he expected this at all. you are telling on yourself fhdjskghfkjshd

this scene is so fucking good i barely have anything to say abt it. just. u can rlly tell david jenkins wrote this ep himself lolll

"i was all in, mate. i was all in." IM SOBBING

oh nooooo i forgot that ed's line delivery of "im sorry my horrible naked chin disgusts you so much" isnt actually as sarcastic as the words itself make it seem. like it feels like ed wanted to say that all angrily and bitter but instead he just sounds sadddddd

ok ok but the way stede says "i love your chin naked or otherwise" and then after a pause (during which ed is keeping INCREDIBLY still bc u know otherwise he's just gonna burst into tearssss) stede whispers "ed" and ed is immediately like "don't" and then. stede going in for the "i love you" but like the way he's so slow with it?? he's literally like "i. love." and idk if it's bc he's trying to make this as clear as possible or if he's giving ed enough time to cut him off if he doesn't want to hear it

and ed DOES he DOES cut him off with "you don't get to say that to me" and he like. keeps glancing at stede out of the corner of his eye but not quite looking at him directly bc he knowwwwws it's like staring into the sun baby and ed knows if he looks at stede's face it's literally all over.

but also ed's face after stede pivots to "i love everything about you" he's SO pissed. he quietly groans and rolls his eyes bc this bitch. finding stupid loopholes to not being allowed to say "i love you." fuck this guy ed hates him so fucking much (lying)

oooooh when stede says "you don't have to say it back to me" ed's mouth opens and closes a bit before "not about to" bc this man is trying. SO hard not to cry (so am i but it's not working sorry there are tears on my face right now)

idk idk idk smthng abt "it's nice. feels good." makes me hurt so fucking bad bc the entire time since ed's woken up stede's been getting headbutted and snarked at passive-aggressively but stede's still like "i love being near you it makes me happy :)" brb i need. a fucking moment.

honestly tho how did annie and mary even overhear that bit bc they were on the other side of the room and stede was whispering SO quietly. opposite of when ppl in this show dont hear things despite the things being said like two feet away from them (1.03 geraldo and jackie talking abt how blackbeard was looking for stede, 2.01 zheng saying the indigo was worth way more than she spent on it)

LOVE how anne being like "stede likes the ladies" is how ed figures out "ohhhh wait ok theyre just fucking with us, got it" bc this guy??? liking women????? lmao

this also HAS to be why he gets over mary like his brain mustve gone "wait hang on why the fuck would he go back to her he doesn't even like women. guess maybe he really did panic huh" hdjksghfckghkjsh

obsessed with these TINY tiny details abt the ed/jack/annie/mary polycule dynamics we're given. ed would've expected as much from annie bc she's a fucking psycho. mary apparently used to not be like this. im putting the pieces together im connecting the dots.

ed and stede's knowing smug looks at each other. im obsessed.

annie being rlly sensitive to the word "bitch" im considering that more hints abt the polycule backstory

yayy fanny newspaper

"really? i mean she stabbed you, you poisoned her, and then she jumped on my face" stede this is all part of their very elaborate and deeply toxic sex life ok stop kinkshaming them

~~~

curious if ed and stede are too distracted by mary spelling out their worst fears to comment on all the smoke coming into the room

"everything must go" like a fucking clearance sale. this is such a silly line. this is a silly show. i love it here.

WHY DONT THEY MAKE OUT SLOPPY STYLE HERE THO

wait are they crying while they hug??? bro these girls are so fucking messy i love them

ed saying "see you guys" before he leaves them in their burning house. i would die for him

ok team arts and craft time while making a prosthetic for izzy. obsessed with how the b plot of this episode is literally "the crew struggles to get along but they eventually set aside their differences and work together when they realize there's someone even more cringe and pathetic than any of them"

"YOU ARE!!! HARASSING A CRIPPLE!!!!!!" is suchhhh a funny line im sorry im gonna miss izzy at his lowest fhsjkhjksf. literally they just knocked on the door my dude calm downnnn

obsessed with izzy being genuinelly touched and expressing it by saying "fucking cocksuckers." this man is allergic to having feelings.

stede and ed painfully talking over each other bc everything is awkward and difficult. i love them.

ed's face when stede offers to let ed stay. his very quiet "yis." the way he says "might be nice" and then VERY QUICKLY looks away

stede yelling GREAT at the top of his lungs fhdsjkguydfgfjkhl

i love when these guys try to play it cool bc theyre so fucking bad at it hgdfgvjfxdkgjjdkkgjhfdkh

stede bonnet dumb idiot moron moments

ed staring off lovinglyyyyyy

buttons jumpscare

also is that fucking sage. are we doing cultural appropriation here

buttons saying "Earth Wind and Fire i wanna go higher" hfjkhgfdjkhgjkh

i love how ed. does not question this "fuck yeah, brother. fly."

ed teach lovesick fool moments

i love how happy ed sounds telling stede abt buttons he sounds like his old goofy self for the first time all season.... im gonna cry

also i like how the crew adopts izzy as their new creature. 10/10

post credits scene is annie and mary at dinner with buttons. i guess it's after stede goes to comfort ed but before they go eavesdrop on that convo.

buttons enjoying his last meal as a human. and also he's like "there's too much fucking on that ship i need to get away from it all." and his way of doing this is becoming a bird. love that.
