{But You Like Her Better}
[Megumi Fushiguro x Fem!Reader]
In Which -> It’s the 3rd of December, so why do you see Megumi handing his sweater over to Hana Kurusu?
Word Count -> 2.4k
Authors Note -> Ever since she said “that” to Megumi, I started disliking her. But today is the 3rd of December, and it’s the PERFECT time to write this. This fic is based on Heather, by Conan Gray so I suggest listening to this song before reading! This is not apart of the Kid!Megumi series!
Warnings -> THIS TAKES PLACE AFTER THE FINAL BATTLE AGAINST SUKUNA!!!! Spoilers if you haven’t read the chapters!!! ANGSTTT, fluff at the end.
It’s cold today. You shiver and walk down the empty hall. Maybe you should ask Maki to train with you today. After all, you need to get warm. Sitting in the building with no heat is killing you. Why hasn’t anyone changed the thermostat temperature yet?
You turn around the hallway to go to the exit and there you see Megumi. What’s he doing on this side of the building? He’s usually never here. Usually, he’s always in his dorm room or out with Itadori. That brings you to your next point. Where's Yuji at? They’re usually attached at the hip after the incident. But Yuji isn't there. It's someone else.
It's blonde hair. Short, shiny, blonde hair. And there you see it. You see Megumi handing his sweater over to Kurusu Hana. She’s pretty. Prettier than you. Her eyes are as bright as the blue sky. Maybe he’s mesmerized by them. Maybe that's why he’s holding eye contact with her for so long.
“Do I hear wedding bells?” she exclaims, with her hands over her mouth. She acts like a middle school girl squealing because her crush just confessed. Maybe that’s what just happened. From here, you can tell that her cheeks are pink.
Your heart stings. This is something you definitely did not need to witness. You turn away from the scene and walk away to go to your dorm room.
She’s an angel. Literally and figuratively. Maybe that's why he likes her. He likes girls that are pretty like her. Did he know that it was the third of December?
The scene in your head, no matter how many times you replay it again and again, he was gazing into her eyes. He’s in love, isn’t he? And it's not with you, it's with her.
The next morning, you sit in the dorm living room, eating breakfast. You realize you forgot to get a drink and while you were about to get up, Hana is suddenly next to you, handing you your favorite drink. She smiles once you accept the drink. She’s so shiny.
“Here,” she says.
“Thanks,” you respond with, still in shock that she knows your favorite drink.
“Yuji told me that it’s your favorite drink,” she explains. She’s already on a first name basis with him? It took you months to be able to get comfortable with saying his first name. Maybe he likes her better, too.
“Oh, well thank you anyways,” you say and take a sip of the drink. She’s so nice.
When she walks away, you notice the choice of clothing that she’s wearing today. It’s a sweater. Megumi’s sweater, to be exact. There’s a pang in your heart but that’s okay. He wants her. It’s his choice anyway. It’s not like you ever had a chance with him.
Later that night, the group is watching a movie in the living room but you turned in, telling the group that you didn’t feel good. Maki and Nobara tagged along with you anyways, saying that they didn't wanna see Hana all over Megumi.
Having a girls night was needed. Silly face masks being used, matching pajamas being worn, and even hot chocolate with tiny marshmallows were made from the kitchen.
They know about your tiny (not really tiny) crush on Megumi. You’ve had a crush on him for so, very long. You met Megumi when he was in middle school, roughing up the bullies that ever crossed his way. Being in the same class, he knew you were getting picked on.
But for what reason? You'll never find out. It's not like you were a loner. In fact, you had a nice friend group, good grades and a good social life. Maybe they were jealous of your friends. Who knows?
Sitting on your bed, you come back to your senses and realize that Nobara and Maki are still in your room. You wait for their arguing to end to start your own story about yesterday's incident. When you get enough courage to tell them what happened yesterday, Nobara gets furious.
“Are you serious? Why did he do this?!” she exclaims out of frustration. “And yesterday out of all days? Be serious,” Nobara scoffs and crosses her arms.
She knows that Megumi doesn’t have a crush on Hana. He just feels indebted to her for saving his life. But she knows that he shouldn't have taken it that far.
Maki nods in agreement. “Yeah, I just don't think that he has the hots for her, you know?” she states, stretching her arms.
Speak of the Devil. Your phone dings and it's a message from someone. Megumi, to be exact. You pick up the phone and show your friends the notification from your home screen. When you open the message, you hear Nobara groaning in the background saying something along the lines of “boys and their obliviousness”.
Megumi <3: Are you okay? Yuji told me that you said that you didn't feel well.
Sent at 8:30 pm
You: Yeah! I'm okay. Nobara and Maki are with me.
Sent at 8:31 pm
Megumi <3: Oh okay. Just wondering why you weren't here tonight.
Sent at 8:31 pm
And that's the end of the conversation. Not like you expected anything out of it anyways. Hana’s probably on the couch, cozying up next to him. He probably has his arm around her shoulder. They probably kiss when nobody's looking. Megumi would never kiss you. She’d probably get hurt if she found out that Megumi was talking to someone when she’s right next to him.
Maybe you should change his contact name. He’s taken already, isn’t he? It wouldn’t be proper to crush on someone while they're talking to someone else. You'll do it later.
You turn off your phone and join the conversation Nobara is wildly explaining, about somebody stealing some shopping bags? You don't know, but you know that you enjoy your time with them.
A week later, all the students are at a ramen booth eating their worries away. Shoko says that it's her treat, as long as you get her a pack of cigarettes while yall are out. You're not legal enough to do it, but maybe you'll pay someone to get it for you.
At the end of your meal, when you're about to go up and pay with Shoko’s card, you're tapped on the shoulder by someone. You turn around and you're faced by someone from your middle school.
“Hey, how are you? I feel like it's been so long since we've seen each other,” your guy friend says. He was introduced to your friend group a little later than when you joined, but nevertheless, you enjoyed each other's company.
“Good, I'm doing good. How are you?” you question back.
“Good, thanks. I see a lot of new faces from your new high school. Oh, and there's Megumi. Hey Megumi, how are you doing man?” he asks. Megumi, seated from across the table, nods his head in encouragement and responds with a short answer.
Your guy friend reverts his attention back to you and the rest of the conversation goes smoothly.
When he says goodbye to you, he gives you his phone number and tells you to let him know when you're free. He wants to hang out with you, and maybe get the gang back together.
On the way back home, Nobara gets all excited. “Did you see the way he was looking at her, Maki?! He’s soooo interested,” she tells you, with her arms waving in the air ecstatically.
“Yes, yes, I saw,” Maki responds. It's vague, but you can tell she’s excited by the twinkle in her eye.
The group of guys, which include Yuji, Inumaki, Panda, Yuta and Megumi walk behind yall by a couple of steps. They’re engrossed in their own conversation, but you see Megumi’s eyes flicker towards yours before he pulls away with a frown.
What's up with him? You wonder. Maybe it's because Hana isn't here. She said that she was busy and couldn't show up tonight. It's not like you cared. But oh well, it's not your problem anymore.
It’s 9:27 pm at night when you get another message. You sort of hope that it's your friend that you recently connected with. But all your hope diminishes when you realize who it is.
Megumi <3: Come to the kitchen.
Sent at 9:27 pm
It's all he sends and you wonder if it was for someone else instead. You contemplate on going, but it's just been so awkward between the two of yall lately. So no, you decide not to go and to sleep instead. Maybe you're finally getting over your silly crush. Maki and Nobara would be proud.
There's a knock at your door. You look over at your clock and it's 3:32 am. Who is up this late at night? Another knock. Are you serious? Sleep is needed right now. You get up and open the door, fully prepared to yell at the person who was disturbing your sleep. But, it's Yuji.
He sees the look of annoyance on your face and debates on whether he should continue his speech or not. He takes the risk anyway.
“I need you to go to the living room,” he states.
“And why is that?” you ask, still obviously annoyed.
“Because! I was watching this horror movie and something moved, I swear. I ran and everyone else would yell at me! Except for you, of course,” he explains hastily. “I just wanna turn off the TV because I don't wanna hear things in my sleep and it's actually the TV noise,” he continues.
You feel bad. He’s had a living curse live inside of him and he's scared of a movie. But not any curse, the King of Curses. Maybe he has PTSD. Why would he even be watching a horror movie this late at night anyways? He doesn't like movies like that.
You give in. You tell him to get to bed while you turn off the TV. He smiles and hugs you tight. He wishes you a good night and that he’s sorry for interrupting your sleep. You grin at him in return and walk towards the living room, where the movie is playing.
When you enter the room, you don’t see a movie playing. The lights are also on. Did Yuji just lie to you? Now, you're furious. Not only did he lie to you, he woke you up at the Devil's hour just for a stupid prank.
You turn around and are about to head back to Yuji's room to give him a piece of your mind, but then you see Megumi. He’s holding two cups of hot chocolate. Tiny marshmallows are floating on top of them.
“Can we talk, please?’ He asks. He sees your shocked face. Then he sees it turns into a contemplative face. Why are you avoiding him? That hurts so much.
After a few seconds, you reply with “Why not? It would be a waste of a hot chocolate,” deciding to talk. His shoulders relax, glad that you said yes.
When you both sit on the couch, he starts the conversation. “You’ve been avoiding me,” he points out.
“Well yeah, it's awkward and I don't want anything to happen between you and Hana if she sees me together with you,” you state. You're being considerate. You wouldn't like it either if a girl kept on hanging around your boyfriend.
“Nothing happening with me and Hana,” he states.
“But you gave her your sweater,” you explain.
“I don't like her. I was just being nice. It's what Gojo would've wanted. He would've wanted me to treat everyone nicer, especially if they risked their life to save me,” he states again. What he says next is appalling.
“I don't like her, I like you,” and suddenly, Megumi can't look you in the eyes anymore. His cheeks are getting rosy and his face is turned away. You're in awe. When has he shown any interest in you? He’s always been distant and quiet around you.
“I'm not even half as pretty as she is,” you try again. Maybe this is a prank, or even better, a dream.
He looks at you again. And this is all you need to know to know that this is all real. One look in his eyes and you're enchanted. He’s also mesmerized. He likes looking into your eyes.
“You’re prettier than her. You care so much for everyone around you and I like that about you. Ever since we were in middle school, I’ve always wondered what it was like to have you as a friend. But now since I’ve felt that, I wanna know what it's like to be yours,” he finishes. His whole face is slightly pink now. Even the tips of his ears are pink.
“Okay,” you say. “Okay, let's do this, then,” you state again with more confidence in your answer.
Megumi finally exhales on that. His shoulders relax again and he's able to smile. He never smiled when Hana was around. That should’ve been a dead give away that he didn't like her.
For the next hour, you and Megumi chat. You finish the hot chocolate and laugh when he gets a milk mustache.
When you finally say good night to each other, he walks you to your dorm room and tells you that he can't wait to see you later.
Getting back in bed, you check your phone on your nightstand. It has two messages and it's from Nobara.
Nobaka: Tell Yuji to shut up, I can hear him
Sent at 3:32 am
Nobaka: DID I JUST HEAR MEGUMI’S VOICE!?!!? THIS LATE AT NIGHT?!?! YOU BETTER TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED
Sent at 4:35 am
Then you get a message from Megumi.
Megumi <3: Sleep well. And please block that guy from the ramen shop.
Sent at 4:37 am
You smile and set your phone back down on the table. Maybe December 11th isn't so bad after all to start dating Megumi Fushiguro.

— "ctrl+C, ctrl+V" sakusa kiyoomi
≪ back to fics masterlist

sakusa kiyoomi x f!reader
a/n: saw a fanart of chibi sakusa and this came to mind so i just had to write this out to get it out of my head 🫠 sorry if my writing's not perfect i wrote this in like an hour HAHAHDHDJSJSHD
cw: FLUFF, parenting au, atsumu being annoying
wc: 586

Kiyoomi had always expressed how much he wanted your kids to have your features - from your hair, your eyes, your smile, your laugh, he wanted them to inherit everything about you. He essentially wanted his kids to be mini clones of you, the person he loved and admired the most in the world.
However, when your first child was born, it was pretty clear that she'd take after her father. Immediately, you noticed birth marks at almost the exact same spot as her father, and as she grew older, her hair started to curl at the ends just like her father's. Unsurprisingly, they had similar personalities too. She was probably the most educated six year old when it came to personal and public hygiene.
And when Reina's little brother was born, you swore they could be twins. That is, if you ignored the eight year age gap between them. Akimitsu, like his sister, took after Kiyoomi. He had the same dark curly hair and sharp eyes as his father, but one difference between him and his sister was that he had a much more outgoing personality. Even at six months old, he was already smiling, laughing, pointing and waving at everyone he passes by.
Today was no different. Strapped to his father's chest, Akimitsu was excitedly pointing towards his older sister practising volleyball in front of him and babbling incoherently. Next to him, the one and only Miya Atsumu was seated on the bench watching his twin boys practice their volleyball skills with Reina. You watched as your husband fished out a pack of tissues and wiped away the drool on his baby's chin.
"Dude, what's up with your sets today? Even Reina can't spike your shit sets and she's a better spiker than me!" Ryūjin exclaimed, pointing accusingly at his brother.
"Shut yer trap, Ryū! Yer just jealous 'cause my sets are still better than yours!" Ryōta retorted. Turning to his friend, he apologised, "Sorry, Reina, I'll work on my sets."
Reina scrunched her face in slight annoyance but acknowledged her friend.
"Y'know, Omi-kun, yer daughter somehow looks even more like you when she does that," Atsumu chortled.
Confused, Kiyoomi looked up at the blonde setter. "Does what?"
"THAT!" Atsumu screeched, pointing at Kiyoomi's face, which was, of course, scrunched up like his daughter's. Kiyoomi hurriedly covered his son's ears at the sheer volume of Atsumu's outburst.
"Will ya keep it down? My kid's gonna go deaf at this rate," Kiyoomi huffed, glaring at Atsumu. The latter sheepishly apologised.
"But for real though, your kids are basically your clones," Atsumu continued, "Guess ya don't have to worry about 'em not bein' yours, right?"
That earned him a hard slap on the back of his head by both you and Kiyoomi.
"THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" Atsumu cried, rubbing the back of his head to relieve the pain.
"Excuse me, sir, what are you insinuating?" You spouted, glaring at him. For all the years you had known him — since high school, to be exact —Atsumu had never failed to come up with the most insensitive lines.
"I'm just sayin'! It's cute that yer kids look so much like you!" Atsumu sulked.
"No shit they're mine, baka," Kiyoomi grumbled, the annoyed scrunch once again making an appearance on his face.
Hearing a fit of giggles, you all turned to Akimitsu who was pointing at Atsumu with a gummy smile on his face.
"Ba...Baka!"
The six month old happily clapped and cheered as Atsumu was left dumbfounded.

a/n: sakusa’s children would 100% inherit his curly hair YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE like it’s literally so cute. they’d have the same scrunched face when they’re annoyed AND IT'S FREAKING ADORABLE anyway i titled this one ctrl C ctrl V for obvious reasons HAHA

Hii!! It’s my birthday soon (feb 17th to be exact 🌝) so i was wondering if you could do a nam-gyu x reader x thanos imagine where it’s readers birthday and they go all out, wanting her to have a special birthday
The Happiest of Birthdays!
OMG!!!! HAPPY (early when I’m posting this) BIRTHDAY!!! you've quite literally been with my lil page since the start so I had to quickly whip something up!!! I wanted to touch base on how they would go about the entire day of the readers birthday so I cooked up some various things to discuss!! I also had someone request a thangyu themed birthday smut sooooo that will also be coming down the line >:)
Warnings: sfw, mention of weed/smoking, probably definitely ooc nam-gyu and thanos

While Thanos and Nam-Gyu both have their own likes and dislikes about their own birthdays- one things for certain they LOVE your birthday. They both will coordinate, saving months in advance to pull money together to spoil you on your special day (one of the few times they can work together and not against each other).
Thanos and Nam-Gyu both have multiple reminders in their phones about your birthday, they plan weeks in advance to know what they’re going to do for you as a celebration, and they love spoiling you! Over the years they learned that working together as much as they can on your birthday is the best- the times that they didn’t work together led to many duplicate gifts and many double reservations at the same restaurant. It’s what happens when great minds think alike and you’re so easy to buy for!!!
Nam-gyu is the type of guy to have an alarm set at 12am the day of your birthday to be one of the first ones to text you or tell you ‘happy birthday’. Thanos tries to do it too- wanting to beat Nam-Gyu at being the first to text you, but he always sleeps through his alarms. Nam-gyu also remembers the time you were born so the initial 12am birthday wishes are always followed by a ‘even though it’s not technically your birthday yet’
Thanos definitely gets a little upset that Nam-Gyu always seems to text you or tell you happy birthday first. Thanos always falls asleep right before 12am or is asleep in your arms, drooling on your chest before 12am. He sets alarms like Nam-Gyu but he always sleeps through them, he swears that his phone alarms don’t work (even though they do, and you often suffer the consequences of the blaring ship horn and flashing light that he has programmed as his phone alarm)
Let’s be real- they never text you happy birthday anyway. They’re always with you the day before and the day of your birthday (and probably the day after too) The day before your birthday, you’ll probably all find yourself in bed smoking a blunt, watching TV. Thanos is half asleep curled up by your side, nodding off every so often-he can’t help it when your thighs are so comfy. You are also half asleep, eyes fluttering shut then snapping open when the show you three were watching got too loud. Nam-gyu has his arm around your shoulders, tucking you into his side where you belong, kissing your head every time he passes you the blunt- he’s gotta spoil the (soon to be) birthday girl as much as he can.
When 12am strikes, Nam-Gyu is waking you up suddenly from your moment dozing off with a kiss to your cheek, mumbling a “happy birthday, pretty” into your skin. You can’t help but to giggle and blink open your eyes sleepily, turning to him. Your hands reach up to cup his cheeks and pull him in for a proper kiss. It’s slow, sweet and lazy. The movement and rustling of the sheets would inevitably wake up Thanos who is whining and nipping at your thigh, annoyed Nam-Gyu yet again, got to wish you happy birthday before him. You giggle, pulling away from Nam-gyu, turning to meet Thanos who’s sitting up to meet your lips in a kiss, one hand coming to the back of your head to cradle you and deepen the kiss despite you giggling against his lips. When he pulls away, the purple haired male is mumbling a “happy birthday, my beautiful flower” against your lips.
They also make it a tradition to make sure flowers are the first thing you see when they wake up. You’re the birthday girl- you get to sleep in! And with it being such a special day, more often than not they’re out of bed before you. They always struggle to get out of the bed and crawl away from the warmth of your touch but they know it’s a sacrifice they must make to make their pretty girl happy!!
One thing about the both of them though- you’re not gonna get any cards from them. Little keepsakes with a small note written on it….maybe. They both have shit handwriting and are horrible when it comes to writing down what they want to say. They’d rather just say it to you. Thanos likes to say cards are far too expensive for what they are (he’s right), that card companies are a scam (again he’s kinda right). Nam-gyu just doesn’t understand the point of them, he thinks you’re gonna read it once then throw it in a drawer that will eventually pile up with other insignificant cards you receive (he’s wrong, you’d cherish anything they gave you).
Nam-gyu always bakes you a birthday cake. He asks you directly what flavor you want and asks you to send him ideas of what you want the design to be. Somehow he executes it perfectly. Whatever design or shape you want- magically makes it happen. You genuinely don’t know how he does it but he has a unique gift for cooking and baking although he adamantly denies he has a talent for either. The catch you have you deal with when Nam-gyu makes your cake (and that’s every year you’re with them) is that you never get to see it early and only see it when it’s brought to the table. As much as you try to fight it, wanting to catch sneak peaks of the inevitable masterpiece of a cake, both Nam-Gyu and Thanos never let you see it before the time of presenting it to you while singing happy birthday because they simply adore capturing the picture of your adorable first reaction to the cake.
Speaking of bringing the cake to you, that’s one of the odd things they trade off doing year to year. It’s one of the strange intricacies they have but you can’t complain. They both love having their own pictures them handing you the cake. They can never get enough of the still images they have of you looking up to them like they hung the moon, mouth hung open or hands covering your mouth in shock, more often than not there’s tears welling in your eyes as you get your first glimpse of the cake Nam-Gyu had expertly crafted and decorated for you. If you don’t go out to eat Nam-gyu will also cook you whatever dinner you want!
On the occasion that you guys do go out to eat. They’d want to take you somewhere super nice. They want to help you pick out the dress, the jewelry, and even take you to get brand new makeup to specifically match your dress. Of course, you don’t pay. They’d sit patiently on your bed and watch you like you hung the moon as you do your makeup. They honestly love watching the whole process from start to finish- they both find it so fascinating. When you’re done and y’all go out and hit the town- they’re showing you off so hard. They know going into the restaurant as the trio you were, you three would get some looks. They lean into it, flaunting you like the prize you are. Nam-gyu would keep one arm wrapped around your back, hand squeezing lightly at your waist and the other hand is palm up, holding your hand to keep you upright while Thanos is kneeling down on the floor of the restaurant lobby to put your heel on his thigh to adjust the strap you minimally complained about- they want the onlookers to know how special you are, so special that you need two men to tend to you, that you’re a goddess to be doted on.
If it’s a year where Nam-Gyu cooks, while Nam-gyu takes care of the cooking, Thanos takes care of the gifts. They spoil you, truly. But more often than not they stick to a larger ‘combined’ gift, a personalized gift from each of them, and a few other little things. Nam-Gyu and Thanos wait till you leave your apartment while they’re both there to discuss their plan of attack. Nam-gyu hates the mall with a vengeance, also hates shopping- that’s why you got Thanos! (Best of both worlds!)- so they will sit together and make a list that Thanos goes out and searches for.
They both prefer to gift you experiences rather than material items because they both say it makes more of a memory. And they’re right. They’ll definitely get you materialistic gifts! But that’s throughout the year! They take you on shopping sprees all the time! (Nam-Gyu doesn’t take you to the mall or in-person stores he takes you on online shopping sprees) Throughout the year they will both work to sneakily try and find out where you want to go. Places on instagram you favorited, posts of cute air bnbs you found online, or even a as far as a city / country you want to go to- they make it happen for your birthday.
They also both post you! Both different in how they do it as always. Thanos normally will compile all the photos he’s taken of you on your birthday and post something at night before the day ends. He always says it’s the perfect way to commemorate your birthday on his social medias. The photos all showcase you, you holding your cake, you sitting across from him at your birthday dinner and smiling all pretty, a picture of your hand in his to showcase the diamond bracelet he got you. He always ends the picture slide show with a photo of him and Nam-gyu kissing your cheek, one of them on either side of you. It’s cute- you can make a slide show of the same picture over the years. It’s a tradition Thanos holds dear. He also doesn’t tag you- he will make the caption the sweetest thing imaginable, post your face twelve times over- but he won’t tag you, he hates that the one time he did you got 200 extra followers, most of which were men who obviously thought you were hot. He already has to share you with Nam-Gyu! He doesn’t want to share with anyone else (besides when he’s posting to brag about his perfect girlfriend).
Nam-Gyu posts a collection of photos he has of you from over the year so he can post it in the morning so you see it on your feed first thing when you open the app. He likes ones where you’re caught off guard, when he comes over to find you asleep on the living room couch or when you’re cooking with him and you’re attention is elsewhere and you’re busy brushing off the flour that Thanos had wiped on the tip of your nose. He also, like Thanos, has a similar picture he posts in the group of photos every year on your birthday. He makes you sit in front of his camera, his free hand not holding your phone to squish your cheeks together. You always end up laughing and that’s his favorite part about it, he captures your wide smile mid laugh. Unlike Thanos though, he tags you in the post- he wants others to see exactly what he has and that no one else (besides Thanos) can have you. He loves going through your requests and denying random guys himself.
It’s all about you on your birthday and that means even late into the night!! When you’re done with the adventures for the day, they’re taking you home and setting up a bath for you- albeit clumsily. They have to have you supervise, making sure they don’t add too many bubbles or overflow the tub. But they add whatever you want into the tub, make sure it’s the perfect temperature and light candles; the whole nine yards. They sit with you in the bathroom so they can roll you a blunt and pass it to you. They hold it up for you so you don’t even have to worry about it getting wet. When you’re done Thanos is grabbing you a towel that they had warming in the dryer. When you step out of the tub, you’re stepping into Nam-Gyu’s arms and he’s wrapping you in the warm embrace of the towel.
Needless today they just adore you and take your birthday as a chance to really show you just how much they appreciate you for putting up with them- everyone knows they’re a handful. But they love their pretty girl so much that they just have to celebrate your birthday in the most over the top ways!!

Hi yall! Sorry for my brief absence I was sick for a bit! But now I’m back! I had to break up the request queue for this special request so hope yall don’t mind 🫶 I’m working on a few more requests at the moment and the next one posted will be the Babydaddy!Nam-gyu x reader smut.
Love yew all! - kiwi

WIP excerpt for sashene behind the cut; "soulmate Timberkon". (( chrono || non-chrono ))
He thinks about asking Dick Grayson if he knows any dead “13”s, but he’d really rather not have that conversation with anyone but Tim, who is definitely not on a business trip right now and also has apparently changed his cell phone number and email and hasn’t been online on any account Bernard knows of since he dropped out and dropped off the face of the earth.
Anyway, the guy already lied to him once; what, does he expect him to switch up just because he asks him something weird enough?
Yeah, not likely, Bernard thinks.
He leaves Dick Grayson his phone number like Tim doesn’t already have it and asks him to tell him to call him when he’s back in town, and then he leaves Wayne Manor like he actually thinks there is literally any chance whatsoever of Tim actually doing that.
“Robin” is one thing, especially in handwriting that Bernard only actually recognizes as Tim’s because he’s always thought Tim’s handwriting was friggin’ weird for not having any noticable little quirks to it like basically every other human being alive’s. Even “13” has more personality in the way it’s written, even looking like somebody who’s barely ever held a pencil in their life wrote it. Even–
Bernard . . . pauses.
Why does he have “13”? If whoever his other soulmate was didn’t live long enough to learn how to write, then their name shouldn’t have shown up at all. That’s, like–that’s a thing, isn’t it? That’s supposed to be how it works? That’s what he’s always heard, anyway; people who never develop names, their soulmates were going to die before they got old enough to learn how to write. Which is some weird and unsettling fucked-up shit about determinism and destiny and the nature of time or what the hell ever, Bernard guesses, though also he guesses it’s just possible that if someone’s soulmate dies that early then the world just–rewrites itself a bit, kinda, and takes their impossible mark away, and people just forget that name ever existed on anyone’s soulmark, which actually wait, that might be worse, Jesus Christ that is not a thought he needed to have had, that’s–
Not the point. Just–either way, he does have a “13”. And it was red, it looks like. A pretty bright red, given what it faded to. Which is weird enough, frankly, because most people actually do not get soulmarks with color in them, but that’s a whole other thing. Like–whatever, Bernard writes his “B”s and "R"s both a little weird so they’re more distinctive; most people do something like that. Maybe 13 only wrote in red. Which again, makes Tim’s totally non-distinctive handwriting a whole weird thing that in retrospect that Bernard maybe should’ve thought to be concerned about sooner, but–yeah.
He has a “13” on his chest either way, and someone wrote it at some point and thought of it as their name. Thought of it as their name strongly enough that that’s the name his soulmark manifested as. Like, Bernard’s heard of soulmark names changing every now and then, same as they can fade out, but it is ridiculously rare and–
Not the point, again. Very much not the point. The point is: what the hell?
Bernard is maybe a little bit too stressed about this, but in his defense, he’s got a dead soulmate he didn’t even know he had and his alive soulmate has disappeared out of his life without leaving a forwarding address or even an email address or even an explanation–
Or even, like–a goodbye.
Yeah, never mind. Bernard, actually, thinks that he is the exact right level of stressed about this. In fact, he could probably be a little bit more stressed than he is already. So like, maybe he’ll work on that, considering.
No matter how appropriate his stress levels feel, though, really the problem is he just wants to talk to Tim about this.
Or like–he guesses actually the problem is that Tim doesn’t want to talk to him.
.
.
.
Things just–hurt, lately. Bernard keeps thinking about that, over and over.
At this point, it’s pretty much all he can think about.

Phighting x Reader Valentine’s day special
IF TEXT IS IN RED ITS NSFW OR SUGGESTIVE
sorry for my disappearance, executive dysfunction, the day this will be posted (valentines duh) i’ll be flying out to spend two days with my partner 💜 im so excited to see them i love them so much hehehe, anyways same idea as christmas one what do the phighters do to celebrate valentine’s with you?
Sword:
- I picture him as someone who doesn’t go quite all out he still wants to do something nice for you. He’d get you a bouquet of whatever your favorite flowers are and in your favorite color too (if they grow in that color). If they’re roses he definitely cut his finger on them, he’s a little stupid but you love him. While not insanely fancy or expensive he takes you out for dinner as well, he didn’t consider making a reservation so hopefully wherever he planned has room. He gets you a super cheesy card but writes a super sweet message in it which makes up for an eye-rollingly cheesy card.
- He might wanna but he honestly doesn’t care either way, if you want to he’s absolutely down, if not he’s not going to be sad. So it’s your call.
Skateboard:
- He forgets about Valentine’s until like, the day of or before if you’re lucky. So you either get a very hastily bought gift of some chocolates, or him lying that he’s waiting till after to get the discount chocolates. You see through him but laugh and go along with it. To make it up to you he says whatever you wanna do for a date he’s down, as long as it’s not too too expensive.
- Bro is taking you to pound town. Or if you’d rather take him to pound town he’s okay with that too. Those were his exact words, while he didn’t/doesn’t do anything extravagant for Valentine’s he is definitely down for some Valentine’s sex. It’s nothing specifically Valentine’s exclusive but he does want to do it for the literal holiday of love.
Biograft:
- Similarly to Christmas he has the dictionary definition of the holiday but it doesn’t know much outside of that. But similarly to everything else he would love you to explain the tradition to him more, especially in your own words and opinions. Since it doesnt really grasp the concept of gift giving you don’t have to give him anything and it might not get your anything, obviously if you wanna give him something he’s not going to say no. And if you tell it that you want something special he’ll get it for you.
- Apologies I don’t do NSFW Biograft stuff.
Katana:
- He would unironically call it a corporate holiday, he’s that kinda guy. He is absolutely not against celebrating it he just doesn’t understand why such a big deal is made out of this day in particular, especially since in his words ‘I love you everyday why do I have to show it to you today specifically?’ If you want to celebrate it he’ll get you something small, and take you out on a date, somewhere secluded though since he doesn’t want to deal with the big crowds of Valentine’s day.
- He doesn’t care either way, it’s up to you honestly, since he doesn’t care much for Valentine’s it’s not anything he specifically wants to do. He will though he has no problem with it.
Ban Hammer:
- Gets you the most big obnoxious gift possible, especially just to embarrass you. Like big ass teddy bear and a big bouquet. He’s a dork but he’s your dork. Unfortunately he probably has to work for some amount of time because criminals don’t care that it’s Valentine’s so oh well you suppose. To make it up to you he takes you out to a really really nice restaurant, no reservations, he’ll just use his power of being the warden to get them to give you two a table. And dinners on him get whatever you want, he’s got the bux for it.
- Oh absolutely, he could barely contain himself during dinner, while nothing unique about it he just wants to since it’s Valentine’s and he wants to ‘show his love for you’ (like he hasn’t already.)
Rocket:
- He gets you something obnoxious as well, big stuffed animal but not specifically a Valentine’s themed stuffed animal just a big one, maybe a shark or axolotl, who knows. You spend the day together at his place, lounging around, watching shows, making meals together, even if he’s a hazard to any kitchen he enters. It’s sweet and he’s very cuddly and clingy, more so than usual. Might get you a card, if anything it’s homemade and actually really nice, he hates saying sappy stuff but he can put up with writing it down.
- You’re at his place all day, probably spending the night. What do you think? 100% dude, it doesn’t even have to be exclusively at night or even in the evening, you’re there all day he might wanna when you’re both just chilling on the couch watching TV.
Slingshot:
- One of the busiest days possible for his cafe, so you probably won’t be able to see him that day, you celebrate on a neighboring day. He bakes you a pastry you really like specifically customized to be Valentine’s themed, hearts and pink and red type of thing. Gives them to you in a heart shaped box to top it all off. As for what you do when you do celebrate I think he’d take you on a picnic, makes all the food, especially homemade bread to make sandwiches with and obviously pastries galore. Somewhere sunny and green.
- Yeah, he wants to say I love you in as many ways as possible, one of those being making love to you. He might make a special pastry to get you both in the mood if you catch my drift, he tells you about it though it’s nothing you don’t know about.
Hyperlaser:
- He’s got work basically everyday, that includes Valentine’s day. He also doesn’t see much of a point to it, he thinks it’s over the top and pointless. He’s alright if you want to do something but he doesn’t really want to, and doesn’t plan anything, and unless you specifically ask he doesn’t get you something. He’s not that much of the romantic type, like a at all. Sorry you knew what you were in for when dating him.
- Doesn’t particularly want to, he’s not a low libido so it’s only if you really want to. It’s not that he doesn’t want to specifically he just doesn’t have much desire to.
Shuriken:
- Again one of the busiest days for the cafe, he doesn’t have much of a chance to see you. So similarly to Slingshot he instead ops to celebrate on a different day. He doesn’t really care what you do as long as you spend the day together, and he has some way to show off, he’s a bit dumb but he wants to impress you as much as possible. Gets you something Slingshot baked, probably pesters him into making you something specific.
- Again only if you want to, he could but he’s not specifically wanting to. Not to say he’s against it but after work tires him out he doesn’t have that much energy to get freaky with.
Scythe:
- She is going to make it a day to remember that’s for sure. Robs the nicest bar she can find for the nicest alcohol one can steal. Takes you on a fancy ass date, probably held the place at gun point to get in without reservations but it’s Scythe what else do you expect from her? Gets you an expensive gift to top it off, she’s got expensive tastes what can she say? Also don’t worry if you can’t get her something, she is absolutely alright being gifted something else.
- Once you get home from the dinner there is fucking rose petals making a trail to the bedroom, and oh my gods if she’s rough or intense normally crank that up to fucking 13. Bed is covered in rose petals but there’s only a 60% chance you make it to the bed before she fucking jumps you. Again if you didn’t get her anything she says seeing your blissed out almost passed out face more then makes up for it, it was the part she was most looking forwards to. Hope you didn’t have plans for the day after, she is not holding anything back.
Medkit:
- On the complete opposite side of the coin he makes no big deal out of it. While he doesn’t do nothing per se it’s nowhere near fancy or extravagant. Scythe might make him work too, so he’ll probably just take you out for a nice-ish dinner. Gets you something small but meaningful, no card or flowers, he writes enough for the cult- I mean church, and he thinks flowers as a gift is pointless, they wilt and die rather quickly so why bother?
- He’s tired but if anything does any up happening it’s very slow and sensual, he normally is but he wants it to be especially so for the day of love. It’s definitely making love rather than just having sex and definitely not pure fucking.
Boombox:
- Bro 100% writes you a personalized love song, he probably doesn’t even release it it’s for you and you only, not for anyone else. He also gets you your favorite candy, a big bag of it.
(sorry these are probably getting shorter ive been up since 5:30 for my flight. i’m about to pass the fuck out)
- Yeah, he wants to for sure. Probably does something cheesy with it though, rose in his teeth on the bed, he then bursts out laughing and ruins any mood he was trying to set. But oh well you still do it and it’s nice. He’s always pretty sweet in bed and especially so with it being Valentine’s.
Subspace:
- Doesn’t have the day off since holidays aren’t big in Blackrock, but he’ll do stuff before and after he leaves. He orders takeout from your favorite breakfast place to have together before he leaves. When he gets back he gives you your gift, what does he get you? Sorry no clue again i’m about to pass out. Oh well it’s nice and nothing obnoxious or something you’ll never use, it’s practical but nice and sweet.
- Probably, as long as it’s not a bad pain day for his rot, if it is he’s huffy and puffy because he wants to have sex but his condition is getting in the way. Just kiss him repeatedly and he’ll melt and will stop complaining. If you do though he will be more intense with it then usual, not that hes normally gentle by any means, but he was probably pent up during work thinking about it so he’s basically pouncing on you as soon as he returns home, whenever that is.
Vinestaff:
- Once again, cafe is busy as hell so you’ll celebrate on a different day. She gets you a vase of beautiful flowers she grew herself, she grew and cared for them for weeks in preparation, taking even better care of them than usual. And that’s saying something considering it’s Vinestaff. You go out for brunch somewhere not fancy but definitely nice and maybe a tad pricey but it’s alright. Also she gives you, so so, many kisses all day, you’re going to be scrubbing off lipstick for like 5 minutes straight. Not that you’re complaining.
- I sound like a broken record but if you want to she’s absolutely down, but isn’t specifically looking forward to it, she could take it or leave it.
Coil:
- Gifts you something really nice he stole from a Blackrock noble, and a thing of assorted chocolates. He’s more boastful then usual but you know it’s because he loves you and wants compliments from you in return, he absolutely compliments you as well don’t get it confused, he just is also being more self complimentary then normal. Definitely doesn’t do a card, loving words are not his forte but oh well.
- Oh without a doubt you’re fucking on Valentine’s. Doesn’t even have to be at night he’s raring to go anywhere you happen to be, and do not expect him to be sweet and gentle during it, he is the hellhound he’s going at it like an animal. But he’s super sweet and caring afterwards don’t worry.
im so fucking tired i’m going to post this and then hopefully pass out, i also kinda need to pee but the seatbelt sign is on </3 , anyways happy valentine’s everyone have a great day and hope you enjoyed!

The whole public sex discourse is insane. But what goes beyond insane into heart-dropping, what the fuck where did we go wrong territory is this attitude of ‘who cares if kids see? They’ll be having sex one day eventually.’ Like???? Yeah, most likely they will. My six year old kid will one day drive an automobile. Does that mean I should just give him the keys this morning and let him drive himself to school? I mean, he’s going to drive EVENTUALLY, right? By that same token, I should also just give him a tumbler of whiskey and let him take a drag off a cigarette; I mean, he’ll probably try these things one day ANYWAY, may as well be today, right? And since he’s going to learn what sex is, why not invite one of his little friends over and show them how to fuck one another?
Oh wait, does that make you uncomfortable now? The idea of two six year olds being encouraged to have sexual intercourse? DOES THAT SEEM WEIRD??? Why?? I mean, they’re going to do it one day anyway, WHY NOT NOW??? Why NOT get your six year old wasted and zooted and teach them how to properly fuck?? Does that make you feel weird? What are you? Some lame-o virgin who doesn’t know how to party? Weak sauce. See, I happen to be a super cool edge-lord sex god who has had ALL THE SEX and therefore don’t care if anyone sees anyone having sex. Since I, the ultimate Sex Lord, have definitely already had sex it is now appropriate for every single human on earth, regardless of age or anything, to witness anyone else having sex. I mean, I’M okay with it, so therefore everyone else has to be okay with it.
I cannot believe that at the exact same time on this hell site, we have a post going around threatening to kill adults for listening to TikTok’s on full volume in public and a post going around saying everyone is SUPES COOL with people just fucking wherever they feel like in public. So this site is more offended by auditory disruption than literal sex crimes being perpetrated against them.
Make it make sense.
#public sex discourse#that stupid fucking poll#society#social issues#think of the children shouldn’t be a bad thing to say#we were all children once and people who loved us shielded us from things we weren’t emotionally or mentally ready or able to process#if someone violated those boundaries with you as a child I am so sorry#you did not deserve that#but just because you’re boundaries were violated as a child#does not give you the right to perpetuate that cycle#you SHOULD care about children#we live in a society#and it only functions if we actually give a fuck about the others existing alongside us#if we all say fuck it do whatever I want#it all falls apart#concern for other people shouldn’t be shameful#feminism

In Stars and Time AU where the Running One also remembers the loops.
The reason why could range from weird shenanigans due to their proximity to the giant Change God statue in town, or due to the bends and breaks in reality currently plaguing the world, or due to an early experiment with time freezing by the King before he settled on his current freezing method, or due to more wish craft shenanigans… but whatever is the cause, the important thing is the effect that it would have on canon:
Nothing. Literally nothing else would change in canon.
They never comment on it or bring it up to anyone—let alone Siffrin. Literally no one in town notices anything is off with them… because nothing would be off with them. Their demeanor and personality do not change, no matter how many loops have gone by or what Act Siffrin is currently in—beyond any of the dialogue changes already present due to Siffrin themself being off and clearly suffering, such as in Act 5. But even that is more of a response to Siffrin’s situation, and an attempt at offering some advice or help to someone else who is struggling, rather than because of anything going on internally. Because the Running One themselves? Doesn’t seem bothered by it at all.
If anything, they’re actually secretly pleased that the loops went on for so long, because they were a little annoyed about the fact that the massive planned party in Dormont if the Saviors succeeded was going to end up messing with their daily constitutional given all the decorations and tables and such that were sure to get strewn about and blocking their preferred running path.
The true reason they’re able to always veer away from Siffrin whenever he tries to block the path is because the Running One has been looping and remembering such since possibly even before Loop started their own loops in the Prologue, so they’re on to Loop/Siffrin’s tricks in that regard. …Even though they might not be aware themself that either of the two of them were messing around like that due to loop boredom and testing, vs it just being due to the jokester/trickster personality they’d heard rumors that the Savior with the dagger and darkless hair was said to possess.
And the only reason anyone might find out about their own looping after the fact is if the Running One happened to make some idle offhand comment at some point that probably wasn’t even directed at the Saviors.
Because, like… the Running One never actually figures out what was causing those loops. They didn’t bother questioning it at the time, and they don’t really care one way or another in the aftermath. Beyond maybe, maybe feeling slightly silly for dreading the victory party and its possible ramifications on their preferred running route, because everyone was actually pretty good about cleaning up after themselves and keeping tables and chairs away from the main pathways.
Possibly even the Change God is unaware they were also looping, because they would literally have been doing the exact same thing anyways with or without outside interference.

Platonic stobin, steddie, and ronance headcanons
Robin and Steve are so codependent that it honestly unnerves the rest of the party.
Like Steve will wait outside the bathroom door if Robin is going to the restroom. Most of the time he’ll literally just go inside the restroom with her and sit on the floor. They have absolutely no regard for each others personal space.
They shower together. Not once do they think it’s weird. If Robin walks in on Steve changing she’ll have no reaction.
They sleep in the same bed. They change in the same room. They share clothes. When they go shopping for outfits they both try the outfit on to make sure it fits both of them.
If they can’t spend the night with each-other they will call eachother and fall asleep on the phone because they’ll both genuinely cry themselves to sleep otherwise. They will share everything. They share milkshakes, they share toothbrushes sometimes (Dustin finds out and tells them it’s disgusting. They don’t care.)
someone on Tiktok said something about Robin and Steve sharing chewing gum and yes, they would absolutely do that, and then they wonder why people think they’re dating.
If Robin has to leave Steve for long periods of time she’ll leave her cologne at his house because it comforts him. They cuddle religiously. They will seriously share anything.
If they don’t get a set number of hugs in a day from each other they’ll both be in terrible moods. Sometimes Eddie or Nancy will find them hugging in the middle of one of the family video isles. Why? Just because. They stick to each other like koalas.
They’ll share a plate when they eat, share utensils.
Eddie and Nancy eventually only go on double dates because if they try to plan alone time with their partners their partners will accidentally ruin it by bringing the other along.
When they have sleepovers together, Eddie and Nancy will get kicked out of bed. Until they’re able to buy a bed that fits all four of them, they just let Steve and Robin take one bed and Nancy and Eddie take the other.
Steve and Robin are actively planning their wedding together. Nancy and Eddie find it hilarious that they don’t understand why people think they’re dating. They try to explain that people don’t just marry their best friends but Steve and Robin think they’re being stupid.
Eventually Nancy and Eddie decide they’ll probably get married to each other as well, since it’s not like they legally can marry their real partners anyways. And even if it were legal, Eddie and Nancy are almost certain Robin and Steve would still just marry each other.
Robin and Steve have engagement rings. Robin has the more “masculine” ring and Steve has the more “feminine” one. They show off their rings with upmost pride. Robin will call Steve her fiancé. He is absolutely okay with it. They call eachother every pet name under the sun. Steve will absolutely sometimes refer to Robin as “love of my life”
once Jonathan asks Nancy if she’s jealous and she laughs at him. Looking from afar, she totally should be, but she’s not, and eddie is in the same boat as her.
One time eddie and Nancy try to separate robin and Steve when they’re sleeping. It doesn’t go well.
If you think Steve and Robin sober are clingy, Robin and Steve drunk/high are complete menaces. It’s like they actually hide how in synch they are, and when they’re drunk they stop hiding. They will literally act like they have a hive mind. Like their brains are connected. They’ll have entire conversations where they say the exact same thing at the exact same time, finish each other’s sentences to an uncanny degree, el actually tries to figure out if they also have powers because it genuinely doesn’t seem real.
Sometimes robin will shove herself into one of Steve’s shirts while he is wearing it. They just. Share shirts sometimes. You know that “our get along shirt” meme? Yes but they actively choose and enjoy it.
Steve and Robin will coordinate their outfits so they’re always matching.
Robin knows Steve’s social security number. She helps him fill out paperwork at the doctors.
When Nancy originally tried to ask Robin on a date, she got too nervous to respond so Steve ended up scheduling the date for her, to Nancy’s absolute delight (she found it hilarious)
Steve will tell Robin in-depth details about his and eddie’s sex life. She will do the exact same thing about her and Nancy. There are no secrets.
No. Secrets.
Robin helps Steve shave is legs because he didn’t know how at first and it just kinda becomes a thing they do.
One time, Robin has to go away to visit her grandparents in Italy and Steve is such a mess that he has to stay at Eddie’s place. He spends the majority of the week trying to talk to Robin on the phone whenever he has the chance and he’s absolutely miserable when he’s not. It’s honestly kind of heartbreaking to watch. Robin is miserable about it too.
When they finally get to see each other again Robin completely forgets to say hi to Nancy too and just slams into Steve and refuses to let go for hours.
Sometimes robin and Steve forget they are not the same person and they’ll call Eddie and Nancy “our boyfriend” or “our girlfriend” eventually Eddie and Nancy call each other girlfriend and boyfriend. Not because they actually like each other that way but because they spend enough time together by proxy for them to get away with it.
Eddie and Nancy become really close friends simply because their partners rarely let them be alone. The entire party is still convinced they’re dating, even when Robin and Steve come out and tell them that they’re dating Eddie and Nancy.

MyStreet Headcanons (pt. 4)
Aphmau & Aaron / Katelyn & Travis / Laurance & Cadenza / Garroth & Zane & Vylad
AKA- How I make their PDH/MS actually reflect their MCD equivalents & how I lessen the questionable aspects
btw this is congruent with a MyStreet/MCD rewrite I have floating in my head and am slowly penning :)
MCD Ro'Maeve Brothers Headcanons (Coming Soon)
Garroth
So, so, so stressed
Literally, PDH!Garroth is the perfect modern version of MCD!Garroth purely due to their stress levels being appropriately equivalent
(keep in mind ages and era, PDH!Garroth's stress levels are appropriately equivalent to MCD!Garroth's, not the exact same)
He's Captain of the Baseball Team, Class President (Katelyn is VP and she's so mad about it), on the Ru'Aun/Minecraft equivalent of the National Society of High School Scholars, Valedictorian, etc
He is that cousin your parents compare you to at every family gathering
Not Mentally Stable but He's Trying
In freshman year, Garroth convinces Zianna that he needs twice as much food for lunch and shares with Laurance (Zianna falls victim to her oldest saying it's totally normal for a "growing boy" to need double the portions as her pediatrician suggests)
He is such a good friend
Has a breakdown in freshman year of college and ends up running away from his family to Laurance's house
Is it running away if he's an adult?
Lol he's the prodigal son
Anyways, he doesn't go back to college
Ends up joining the military bc college didn't have enough rules for him to follow and he doesn't know how to function without a thousand things restricting him
Serves for like two terms (idk how military works) before coming back
He works construction during MS S1-S3 and is forced to quit for Emerald Secret
He knows how to break doors with one punch because he's built them and learned how to demolish them for demo days
Starts volunteering at the fire station with Laurance during Lovers’ Lane
Is not as much of a dunce as canon
He's genuinely really smart, extremely people aware, charming to an annoying extent, but as of his college breakdown, he just lets loose
He says what's on his mind, he speaks his truths, he eats what he wants, goes where he wants, does whatever he feels like--and if that's buying an unholy amount of feathers to woo the girl he's had a crush on since high school, then he's doing that
He clings to his crush on Aphmau because it's the first real thing that He wanted, not Garte, not Zianna, since Zane was born
He is his most honest self in MS
Zane
You know how Garroth's that cousin you're always compared to? "Why aren't you more like Garroth?" "He was valedictorian!" "He got 100 in every class all throughout middle school and got 95+ in high school!" "He was captain of the baseball team!”
Now make that your big brother
Zane is compared to Garroth from the moment he's born
He hates it
At first he looks up to Garroth bc Garroth is so good and how could he do any wrong?
Obviously he starts to feel overshadowed
It doesn’t help that Zianna dotes on Vylad when they’re really little out of fear he will feel different from his brothers
He can't do as good as Garroth did so he seeks attention by doing far worse
Starts acting out in middle school, gets worse in high school when Vylad accelerates a grade
In Graduation Days, Aphmau says that Zane "made everyone's lives hell" during junior and senior year with his Shadow Knights
I've chosen to translate that as he became the literal bane of everyone's existence
Has blackmail on almost the entire PDH faculty and the district board of education, he rules PDH for all intents and purposes
Nearly gets arrested/expelled/sent to juvie after Nicole gets her dad involved, replaces the whole faculty, and ends his reign of terror but the threat still lingers
Only reason he isn't in juvie is because Garte pays off about everyone to keep quiet and keep his son from going to jail and causing a scandal
Zianna thinks he can do no wrong so after a summer of being essentially on house arrest she gets him into FCU
He mellows out by MS, he's no longer the tyrant king of the school but the HOA Karen (that's basically canon I mean have you seen him in S1?)
Has measured Garroth/Laurance/Dante/Travis's lawn multiple times and hit them with a fine when it's 0.01 inch too tall or too short
Has fined them for packages on the street, for not shoveling their driveway, for the hot tub in their backyard, everything he could find
Had a cowboy phase as a little kid (homage to Kestin (his VA))
He blackmailed Vylad with being an affair child into joining the SK's in high school
Even while living with Garroth in Lovers’ Lane, when he’s especially mad, he will walk outside, measure their definitely not Up To HOA Regs lawn, and slam a fine notice on Garroth’s bedroom door
Garroth never pays him but he does buy Zane’s favorite consumer snack (ie. favorite snack not homemade by KC or Zianna)
As of late S1 (Vylad's arrival), he gets extreme embarrassment the moment someone mentions him in high school
Has literal, physical plans on how to take over the world but burns them before moving in with Garroth and Laurance
Garroth didn't blind his eye!!!!
He covers one eye because of the Forever Potion experiments, the reason Garte pulled him and Garroth out is because one of Zane's eyes is permanently green (like both Travis' are)
Zane believes he just has heterochromatic eyes, but kids used to always ask about it so he hides it because it was annoying and then he just preferred to keep it hidden
He wears an eyepatch to keep it hidden even when his hair moves
For Minecraft/Mystreet Magic reasons, if he took off the eye patch, he could see in the dark only through that eye
Had a crush on Katelyn in high school
He doesn't realize this, but the reason for his animosity towards Laurance is because kid him saw Laurance's friendship with Garroth as Laurance stealing Garroth from him
Also the reason why he hates Aphmau during high school bc she's friends with Vylad
Aka despite claiming and actively trying to hate his brothers:
Zane loves his brothers
He was just trying very hard to prove that he hates them
Especially in high school...
He and Vylad do NOT get along bc of SK's in high school
Remember how in S1, Vylad just sorta says "Hi Zane" versus runs and hugs Garroth? Yeah
As soon as he sees Vylad in S1, Zane immediately regrets 100% of his actions in high school
He tries to apologize but Vylad avoids him, the closest they get to interacting is the fake dating arc, and Zane hates it bc he's realizing he actually cares about his brothers and he definitely screwed up with his little brother
He got a degree in finance at FCU
Intends to take over the family company bc Garroth doesn't want it and no way is Vylad taking it
Works at Ro'Maeve Co., has a company credit card but never uses it and instead uses the family card that's unlimited
Vylad
Garroth was Garte's golden child who had to do everything perfectly
Zane was Zianna's baby boy who could do no wrong
As a kid, Zianna tried to make sure Vylad didn't feel different from them then Zane started acting out for attention and she fell for it
Basically raises himself
Garroth tries to be a good big brother but is usually too busy
He is 3 years younger than Zane, but in preschool Zianna fought for him to start early (he was a smart kid, Garroth and Zane used to teach him the things they were learning so he could do basic math and by like 4)
He nearly got kicked back down a grade because he refused to talk in class
Had a Parent-Teacher meeting and he tells Zianna “She talks to me like I’m stupid, why would I listen to her? Dad says—“ And Zianna covers his mouth and tells the teacher he can talk just fine, and he’s plenty smart, so please stop treating him like a baby
Aaron skipping a grade leads to Garte forcing Vylad to skip two grades and start high school early (he passes, the certified child prodigy) and starts at PDH on the second week of classes
The Most Chill Guy but Very insecure throughout high school
Knows he's an affair child and thinks that's why Garte ignores him (he's right) and why Zane hates him (no it's because Zianna gave him more attention when they were little and Zane hasn’t noticed that Zianna barely looks at Vylad when Zane’s in the room)
Sees Laurance more of an older brother than both Zane and Garroth
He's on the soccer team in high school and brings Zianna's kimchi once before practice and introduces Laurance to spicy food
Is 20x more likely to respond to a text from Laurance than from Garroth or even Zianna and Garte
Bonds with Dante over their 'Zvahl adoptions' (see Laurance and Cadenza's headcanons for elaboration)
High-key hates Zane in high school bc Zane blackmails him with affair child info
They both know that if it got out that Vylad wasn't Garte's, Garte would blame it getting out on Vylad and it would not be pretty
Vylad genuinely believes Garte would kill him if it got out
Betrays Zane in junior year by saving Garroth from getting hurt by the SKs, does it on instinct, and runs away out of fear
Literally goes off the grid/vanishes
The police CANNOT find him, he's like 14 (remember he's two-three years younger than his grade) and is hiding from EVERYONE
This is why he’s absent in Graduation Days despite being in Aphmau’s class and graduating with her
Zianna's literally heartbroken, she's terrified for her baby
This is a factor that leads to Garroth's total breakdown and drop out from college
Comes back pretty feral
Aphmau's the reason he comes back to civilization (Not-Alone-Buddies FTW)
He comes back like two years into FCU
To those who read the Travis head canons:
IF PDH takes place in a world with modern technology (as in it technically takes place in like the 2000s/early 2010s and they do not have snap, but if it DID)
Vylad starts a snap streak with Travis and Aphmau in early freshman year
Aphmau's ends bc of Ein in sophomore year
BUT EVEN THOUGH VYLAD DISAPPEARS
His and Travis' streak is going strong
They have like a streak of 3000+ and are on a leaderboard online
Vylad ends up going to college, lives on-campus and has a Ro'Maeve credit card, assimilates back to society through college
Gets a journalism/environmental science degree
He immediately ditches civilization the moment he graduates
He has a blog and youtube he periodically updates with him doing the most absurd stuff
You know that River Monsters tv show? He's got a selfie with almost every single one of those river monsters
Has a selfie of him on top of the Eiffel Tower. Not on the platform, like he is literally hanging on the spire like he's a superhero or something.
Copies that picture on every single major skyscraper he can (Empire State Building, Chrysler Building) even the Kurj Khalifa
He takes a video while on top of Christ the Redeemer (the huge Jesus statue in Brazil)
Vylad is on the FBI's watchlist
He's on multiple countries's watchlist actually
Had a selfie of him alone in the North Korean equivalent of the oval office and is now on their most wanted (the photo technically doesn't exist anymore, but it's somewhere in the bowels of the internet and a physical copy exists in Vylad's travel scrapbook)
Has the biggest internet following of his entire family
Is technically more profitable than the rest of his family off his blog and YouTube and has a lot of money in his bank account which he never touches
He uses Laurance's address for his bank account
He considers access to the Ro'Maeve family bank account reparations for the emotional damage and childhood neglect, and exclusively uses it for first class plane tickets to whatever continent he wants
The only reason he moves in with Aphmau is because his name isn't on the lease and if the gov't wants to try and catch him at the airport let's see them do that when he stays in country
Has had the government track him down before but literally evades them, and they can't prove that he's evading them because technically they can't really be searching for him without a warrant which they do not have
I have a lot of thoughts about these three in particular...

I constantly think of the design motifs between Edgeworth, Franziska, and Manfred so much it’s not even funny. I really really love when characters have design motifs to show that they’re connected, it’s genuinely so satisfying when it’s done right.
I’ve gone on this tangent like a billion times before but I seriously need to get it out there for the masses to see or else I’m going to explode if I have to keep screaming this to the same 5 people LMFAO.
Anyways, I LOVE the design motifs between Edgeworth, Franziska, and Manfred SO much. I really love how all 3 of them have a frilly thing around their neck (Manfred and Edgeworth having a Cravat, while Franziska a bow), additionally I loveeee the sprite similarities between the three. Edgeworth at his debut especially, he was very similar to Manfred (his outfit was basically the exact same to Manfred like).
It really emphasizes that they were Mentor and Mentee, “father” and “son”, and it just ?!? UGH I LOVE IT. Another thing that I noticed which could just be me reaching is something on Franziska when she was 13, I think, in AAI.
Instead of a bow like in her design when she’s older, what would usually a frilly thing around her neck to show ties to Manfred and Edgeworth is (I don’t know what to call it? Hopefully I get what I mean) instead something that’s like, not yet unfurled into either a cravat or the bow. And to ME it’s supposed to show how she has yet to bloom into a proper prosecutor, since she hasn’t earned her badge yet. While we play through the case where Edgeworth was supposed to debut in, and where he met Gumshoe for the first time, we see that she’s very naïve or at least very cocky and full of herself because of the fact that she’s related to Manfred von Karma, the perfect prosecutor. ALSO! I really love how she doesn’t have a full whip yet in that design/age either, further going to show that she’s literally just A Child and still has a lot of growing to do.
This probably isn’t anything a lot of people really care about when it comes to AA and I know I’m definitely NOT the first to point this out, but SHUT UP I don’t care I needed to get this out there it needed to leave my brain and reach people that actually care abt AA.
On another note, I may ramble about Dhurk and Clay and Apollo sometime and how mad I am at Capcom for what they pulled in both DD and SOJ. CAPCOM WHEN I CATCH YOU CAPCOM.

You all know about New Ninja, now get ready for….
Newbie creep!
Aka New creep, aka Newbie…. Ya already get it.
This man was not easy to design, even with trying to look for some inspiration on Pinterest and stuff. But hey, he’s done now.
Now while he’s new at the job like New Ninja is with theirs, they’re not really like the ‘new messenger’ who’s going to replace the original creep. Oh nah, og creep is still the main one and still will always the main messenger. Newbie here is actually just more of a trainee, a trainee who’s a big LOSER-
Btw, this guy wasn’t actually my idea originally. I actually got The idea of this guy from @artistic-harlom-world !!! Thanks again for the idea for this loser dude!
I’m sure you’d all like to know a bit more about him, Welp. Here we go.
-like original Creep who was the one to give the mask and Nomicon to many chosen ninjas for many years until Randy, Newbie Creep is the one who gave the mask to New Ninja! Ya see, the mask New Ninja has is actually not the same as Randy’s! It’s a whole brand new mask that the og creep made just in case and Newbie just so happens to be the one picked to give it away along with the Nomicon!
And no, there isn’t a whole new Nomicon too. The ninja Nomicon is still the same exact book that we all know of and love, no worries! Nothing can replace this 800 year old book-
-Newbie’s origins, just like Creeps, is unknown. Tho he is also immortal like him, from the same place too. He even tries having the same fashion sense as him just cuz, though a bit of his clothes, as you can see here, has been ruined. How? Just some small ‘Accidents’, that’s all!
-speaking of small accidents, Newbie creep had them happen quite a lot, they’re the reason why he has those small scars almost all over him in the first place, especially on his fingers! He even tried bandaging himself a bit but it was barely done well. He also tried fixing up a bit of his clothes as you can obviously see with his pants, which just made it look so off compared to the rest of him. His hairs also kinda messy.
-as I already said, he’s a loser. No seriously he literally is. He’s like the complete opposite of the creep. That’s like, the entire point of his character almost. When he’s scared, like for example seeing someone be able to kick an entire wall down and destroyed it completely, he immediately faints right on the spot. If he’s about to be noticed, he quickly flees. With the way he looks right now, many people would probably be very suspicious of him, thinking he’s a man not to be trusted.
-while Randy is more patient and kind with New Ninja during their ninja duties, the creep is a little more stricter and can get a little more easily impatient with Newbie. He often criticises the guy, from his clothes to the way he does his job. (A bit ooc? Idfk) but even if having to deal with his kinda sucky trainee can be a pain in the ass, Creep does actually try to support Newbie! Believe it or not.
Here is Newbie creep with both the og creep and the kid! (May look pretty off since I mostly drew him in my style and plus I didn’t feel like cleaning up and do shading again.) yeah, he’s meant to be just a SLIGHTLY bit shorter then Creep, just a little…..oh and a quick doodle of him and his ‘boss’.
Get it? ‘Clown’-boy? Like cowboy but instead of cow, it’s clown cuz his pants look ridiculous and- okay I’ll stop, I apologise.
Also man, I gotta draw the creep more. I really do.
Anyway that’s it, hope y’all like him I guess!
#rc9gn#randy cunningham 9th grade ninja#randy cunningham 9th grade ninja oc#rc9gn oc#new ninja#new ninja au#rc9gn au#Rc9gn the creep#ninja show#art#doodles#drawing#Newbie creep#also Newbie actually goes by He/they!#tho I mostly go use he/him

( this is my first time ever sending an ask I don't use Tumblr much please go easy on me ;; )
first of all I have to say, ever since I found your blog I've followed and I LOVE your posts, and it's just nice to read through all the stuff you write with Scott, I've recently gotten into his stuff after religiously watching Lizzie..
but ANYWAYS, this is old but I lowkey like to imagine Esmp1 !Rivendell!Scott to be cold ( haha ) mostly on the outside, a composed, calm and serious facade that he must keep as a ruler because that's what he was born, made, created to do— but still sometimes, in rare occasions his act slips and the true person on the inside comes out, like back in the episode which I forgot the name of, where he investigated the other empires, and found Esmp 1!Shelby/Shubble(?)'s special golem, like I imagine just, ice cold dead eyes lighting up like the 'stars', dark pupils dilating as he flushes, squealing in excitement because Oh Aeor, that is. an. absolutely. adorable. golem.
that and sometimes with his close friends like Esmp 1!Katherine, his childhood best friend who knew the true him before he was molded into an beautiful, but hard cut ice statue.
THIS IS SO LONG I'M SORRY AJSBKS
Hi!! I’m so honored to be your ask :D
I completely agree that esmp1!Scott keeps a total poker face around the public and other rulers. I also imagine that he has a favorite servant, maybe named Owen👀, who gossips with him, and, one day, they said something that almost cracked his facade. Now, they’re one of the few people who Scott lets his guard down around when they’re alone. He keeps that person close during Rivendell events like balls and feasts, especially ones where other rulers are involved. They make judgmental faces at each other and roll their eyes at other rulers when no one’s looking. Scott brings them to a council meeting one day, and the council goes “this servant isn’t permitted to be here” and Scott’s like “none of you get me like they do :/“. Yeah esmp1!Scott is absolutely a softy struggling to hold it together. It doesn’t help that he was supposed to have Xornoth by his side and lost his only support. Also, yes. Scott and Katherine freaking out like best friends meeting at the airport when they get to hang out by themselves and painting each other’s nails and complaining about the frustrations of ruling. They’re literally SO important in each other’s lives. Who else can they vent to like that?
So nice to hear that you’re enjoying my posts!! Don’t worry about the long ask! I get them all of the time, and I absolutely love responding to them!! Also, I literally got into Scott’s videos the exact same way like 8 years ago ejdheibdjen I was an LDShadowLady die hard and found Scott through One Life. He reminds me so much of my godfather, who I adore with all of my heart, so I took one look at him and said to myself “yes. You are the chosen one. I am going to have an unhealthy obsession with you for at least two years”. And I did. And then it faded and I rediscovered him through 3rd Life, which is then how I discovered Hermitcraft! Sorry for the tangent! Thank you for the ask!!🩵🩵🩵

If Lucasfilm hires you to develop a project what do you pitch?
(Happy Thanksgiving btw 🦃)
Forgive me o’ Geode, friend and sender of fun asks, but the pitch would be me asking to use the restroom and then sneaking out through an open window.
I know! I know! What a boring answer! That sounds so cynical and unfun! Jess LOVES Star Wars content!! So why is she crying?!
Problem is, I think I would want to pitch The Acolyte.
Of course, I disagree with Leslye Headland’s take on the Jedi Order completely. But I can’t say I didn’t have fun with that show, or that I wouldn’t have tried to do the exact same thing she did with some meaningful differences: get a Jedi-centric story away from the Skywalker Saga, explore weird places, make it dark and edgy and sexy, diverse leads, LGTBQIA+ characters treated like real characters, big tasty lightsaber fights. And it would get cancelled just like The Acolyte did, as none of the things I wanted to fix about the show were the reasons for its failure.
I don’t think it’s just Star Wars, by the way. It is ROUGH out there for creative people working on projects, big or small. The industry is changing in ways that are still being realized as stories change to franchises which change to corporate properties managing streaming conglomerates. I imagine it will get a great deal worse before it gets better as companies start to cheap out on AI. I’ve talked to Netflix producers, friends who write for Marvel projects, and closer to home, my partner just realized the creative dream of a lifetime: the book he’s worked on for seven years got published by THE publisher in his scene. It’s a success! His fans are fantastic! The reviews are great! He’s sold so many copies so quickly that he would qualify for NYT bestsellers criteria if they listed his genre. His experience with the process was like pulling fucking teeth. He was unsupported with the book on every level by his publishers, fought for every good decision, and the whole process was exhausting and demoralizing.
I can’t imagine how quickly the dream turns into a nightmare for someone taking on a Lucasfilm project, getting the chance to tell a story they’re deeply passionate about, and then it fails utterly for reasons entirely outside of their control.
Anyway, without invoking Apollo’s red ball, I do want to talk about a Dooku: Jedi Lost adaptation for a second. Because of course, imagining well done cinematic scenes of certain favorite moments in that book - the Tirra ‘taka or Sifo-Dyas’s sandstorm while Dooku’s blue blade is just cutting down foes left and right - make my nips so hard they just break off and go flying around the room, smashing up the furniture. It’s impossible not to dream “well, what if they just did it really well?”
But here’s where I think it falls apart. Regardless of how you view the platonic or romantic nature of Sifo-Dyas and Dooku's relationship, a good half the book is two male characters having intimate, affirming conversations about their feelings. Can you imagine a Star Wars property where the male leads look at each other and say lines like “you’re here. With me.” or the whole “I’m in.” “I”m in” exchange as their ship literally falls burning from the sky? Disney would probably turn it into a lightsaber fight, and yeah, I’d reblog the shit out of those gifs, but I think it would erase something core that I love in the narrative that is perfectly captured in the medium it’s in right now. Something tender and understated and rare.
....And even if they captured that aspect perfectly, part of the “fandom” that hadn’t seen a Star Wars film since May 2005 would bleat “woke” and complain that their wife left them because someone (me) ruined Count Dooku.
#I've actually been trying to ruin count dooku for years#Happy 🦃🦃🦃!!!#not gonna lie I thought up most of this answer as I was cooking yesterday#and thanks for a fun ask!!!!!#star wars meta#the acolyte#dooku: jedi lost#OH GOD#and can you imagine what they’d do to Lene in a DJL adaptation#who I’ve had my differences with over the years#but is my Girlfriend/Mommy?#I shudder to think

Ugh, popped on Twitter to geek out about the Wheel of Time S2 and immediately find a bunch of WoT dudebro fans complaining that a 15 book series of 800+ pages each isn’t getting the exact word for word adaption that exists inside their heads when they read the books. And let me remind you all, these books were my life, my first fandom, and basically my personality pretty much from when I first read them in 1999 until Robert Jordan died (alas, I read to the end but Brandon Sanderson never quite captured the magic of RJ’s writing for me again, even if I think he did the best job anyone possibly could.)
So let me just say from a place of deep respect and obsession with these books that any hate for the show based on it not being a page for page adaptation is patently insane. Much of Wheel of Time relies on the strengths of prose which are untranslatable to a visual medium. Stuff like how magic (or the One Power) feels to cast makes up a huge proportion of the book. You can externally portray a feeling, sure, but there are still limits.
They forget that Book 1 was written to be standalone and has a ton of inconsistencies with later books that need to be shored up. That means logistical changes which cause necessary alterations almost all of which have actually been massive improvements in my mind. For all my love of Wheel of Time, its pacing is atrocious and I think even RJ would agree that if he could go back with the whole story in mind and edit it to be more streamlined, he absolutely would have. The show HAS to do that or we’d still be in the goddamn Two Rivers with the book pacing.
Centering the first season on the White Tower and Moiraine’s POV makes sense. The book relied on Moiraine being a Gandalf figure that gave information away at the pace of reader reveals, in tiny drips meant to tantalize a slow-paced book’s reader. That would be immensely frustrating for a tv show viewer of a story set in a sprawling fantasy world that needs tons of explanation and world building up front to have any idea what’s going on. Focusing on Moiraine, who has the answers, instead of sticking to the ignorance of the kids isn’t just a good choice it’s very nearly the only choice you can make. The White Tower is one of the most complex and interesting parts of that world. Centering it and introducing it earlier was an incredibly wise choice.
Other smaller choices make sense too if people thought about it for two seconds. Aging up the kids makes sense. They’re teens in the books and it would be incredibly awkward on screen. But once you age them up, it makes sense that at least ONE of them has been married before. Perrin makes SENSE to have been married if he left Two Rivers later. He’s a responsible guy with a good trade and a level head on his shoulders. He’s sweet and caring and mature. Of course he got married, he’s from a small farming community in a medieval-esque world with shorter life expectancies. Furthermore, I love Perrin to death but his obsessive fear of hurting Faile later is frankly ungrounded in anything that isn’t benign misogyny on some level. It doesn’t update and translate well on its own. Giving him Laila, giving him the manner of Laila’s death grounds his later attitudes towards Faile so well I literally gasped when I put it all together.
Other changes like in S2 having Min and Mat meet the way they do in Tar Valon was genius. It matters more that Mat and Min have rapport than that they meet in the same circumstances as the book (and Mat wouldn’t even remember that meeting anyway lol). The rapport set up and the way it showed Mat’s genius and con artistry was brilliant. Showing these characters LIKE each other was incredibly engaging and endearing which is so important because the adaptation has to be enjoyable to non book readers too, especially since the 15, 800+ page books of meandering pacing are pretty much impenetrable to new readers. Book readers simply can’t make up the majority of the audience, there’s not enough of them to sustain a show with any kind of budget which WOT requires. Thus, it needs to be an enjoyable show in its own right, not just a meandering exact adaptation ffs.
I can literally point to any show change and say it was either logical, practical, thematic, or simply genius. Wheel of Time desperately needs an edit to be accessible to modern audiences. What an adaptation prioritizes is always a risk that’s going to be run for a fan of the original material but so far I’ve been wildly impressed by every choice made in how logical or thoughtful and most of all loving it was to the actual important emotions and themes of the book. Any complainers are seriously missing the point of what an adaptation even is.

Have we seen Steve interacting with authority figures? I feel like we must have at some point but I can't think of any... which is maybe why I struggle to imagine what Steve and Hopper/Joyce sharing a scene might look like. I guess there's that scene with Barb's parents?
we HAVENT ‼️ hardly anyways! off the top of my head i’m fairly sure that the only adults we’ve seen steve interact with (and i define interacting by him talking to them directly or vice versa) are barb’s parents like you said, the guys he walked up to cleaning the theater marquee, and the russian general. genuinely cannot think of anyone else. isn’t that so upsetting
i wouldn’t call barb’s parents or the movie marquee guys authority figures per se, but i do think you could kinda categorize ozerov that way. at the very least, he has massive power over steve (literally has him tied up and drugged). i think it’s notable that of these instances where steve is sharing a scene with an adult, he is consistently doing some sort of repentance. cleaning up the marquee, visiting barb’s parents after she died in his backyard, and being beaten for finding the operation (which served as a larger message to steve that once again reminds him he was an Evil Little Boy). we’ve never seen steve interact with an adult to receive comfort or protection—it’s always the opposite, actually. uncomfortable at the very least, literally being tortured at the most.
i think a very underrated moment is steve threatening ozerov by saying that hopper is going to save them. i think it’s sooooo genuinely deeply sad, actually! he so confidently thought hopper (and other adults ie the us calvary) were going to come save him and robin, when actually no one even knew they were down there. if dustin and erica hadn’t saved them, literally no one would have!!!! the same protection that hopper and joyce provide the other kids/teens don’t really extend to steve and robin, which makes sense logically since they’re kinda on the outskirts. they are not their children or close friends of their children. but i think that line is so meaningful and sad because it kinda implies that steve thinks of himself as falling under that umbrella of protection, but he doesn’t :(
that’s not to say that i think hopper is canonically like “fuck steve harrington i don’t care about that kid”, but the writing in st thus far hasn’t really been dynamic enough to give us glimpses into the various ways that All these kids/teens/adults are inherently tied together after going through category 5 monster moments every half a year together. i really hope season 5 remedies that (it sounds and looks like they might?) by giving us these rare interactions between characters who have almost been killed by the exact same Creature several times but have somehow never talked. i also want so badly for someone to acknowledge that steve becomes the de facto adult when joyce and hopper aren’t around (i know mom steve jokes got annoying but they stemmed from his behavior clearly modeling that of a Parent with the kids) and maybe give us insight into how steve views himself….does he feel like an adult? would he view hopper as an authority figure, or would he almost see him as a peer and equal considering they both end up being the meat shields when it comes to fighting people and monsters? i need to know…..
i do think we’ll get at least a crumb of steve and hopper in s5, at least because david harbour and joe keery have both talked about wanting to share scenes and it would be so mean of the writers to just be like no sorry we don’t have time for a 2 second interaction in this 10 hour season LOL but we shall see <3
