Okay so I was wrong. Matt is the yapper this season.

[jerreeeeeee]

a silly nothing headcanon that is nonetheless dear to me is that the twins took in a scruffy alley cat when they were at the institute that taako bitches about constantly because “we don’t need another mouth to feed” and “i hate cleaning the litterbox” and “the apartment doesn’t even allow pets” but, as he tells it, lup begged to take the cat in because he was sooo sad out on the streets and even though the vet bill was really expensive and the cat had fleas taako graciously agreed. what really happened is that taako felt bad for the cat because he's all grizzled and is missing an eye like he clearly lived a rough life, so he started leaving water out, and then he started leaving scraps of food on top of the trash can, and then lup one day joked “we already feed him we might as well just get him a bed and let him in” and taako was like “ugh FINE you’ve twisted my arm we’ll adopt the cat”

okay, but where's my steddie AU where steve wants to learn to play guitar to impress a girl he's infatuated with and he remembers that munson kid was always hanging up posters for his weird band at school, so he hikes out to eddie's usual dealing spot behind the track and asks (with far less groveling than he really should have) if eddie will teach him how to play, and obviously eddie says no because why would he want to help king steve, but of course, steve offers to pay him, $20 a week, and well, that's the kind of get-the-hell-out-of-this-shithole-town cash eddie really can't afford to refuse, so fine, he'll teach steve to play and they'll spend inordinate amounts of time together tucked away in eddie's room and they'll start to see that they have more in common than they thought and that they kind of had each other all wrong, and eddie will put his hand over steve's to help him get the placement for a tricky chord and it totally won't awaken anything in either of them?? where is it??

edit: i started writing it

wanted to practice dancing poses, and who else who be better than two traumatized mixed kids.

! the alastor x reader tag on these posts refer to platonic/qp relationships only !

transcript:

a1) I didnt know the Radio Demon Could pick up a knew dance.

a2) Well, it was a little hard with your horrid teaching.

b1) Now dear- THIS is how you dance. You look better with a smile!

b2) Oh- *HIC* - this is kind of fun!

more info on these two goofy guys friendship below

cecil and alastor did not start on good footing. being the one and only employed sinner not under alastor means that alastor had no control over cecil other than fear. and unfortunately for alastor, cecil is only afraid of butterflies. so, the two squabbled quite a bit at the begging. however, cecil did enjoy the gruesome and disturbing, one of the few things alastor and cecil could bond about. especially since cecil gave a vibe similair to nifty. a sinner who’s disturbing nature didnt exactly match their personality.

give or take enough drunken nights, the two end up bonding over their love of dancing. cecil grew up in a small conservative town in southern texas, just along the border. despite being raised catholic, their grandparents kept their culture alive and taught them about jarabe tapatío dancing as an art form. alone, they would dance as their sole form of entertainment (other than monitored books). since alastor is from the roaring 20’s, an age of jazz, I thought it would be fitting for him to enjoy Lindy Hop. the two keep their distance (luckily, jarabe doesn’t need much contact), and alastor finally gets to see a side of cecil that isn’t annoyed or unbothered.

Hellspawn idea that hit me like a religious vision

Astarion can't stop thinking of the color of this flower Karlach found during one of the more idyllic moments of traveling to Baldur's Gate, and it should have been such an inconsequential moment. It was just a flower. But the delight burning in the embers of her mirthful eyes just sticks with him. And it's mostly annoying how happy she is about everything, but he also can't hold it against her when she, too, is adjusting to sudden, newfound freedom, and hers is much more limited than his.

And it isn't even a romantic moment or anything, right? Karlach just sees it on the edge of where the last bit of life was able to grow between the Shadow Curse and the land beyond it. She's STOKED. Bellowing in that way she does about this flower. She just takes a moment to enjoy it, then moves on. Doesn't pick it. Doesn't touch it. Just moves on with her day.

but this moment sticks with him and he thinks about it when they're curled together under the stars that night, his body fitting against the curve of hers, his cold weight soaking up every bit of warmth her overheated body will give him, and her arms are SO strong, but so gentle in the way she holds him.

The immortal forced to reckon with mortality bc this woman, who truly believe deserves a much better lot in life, only has a finite amount of time to appreciate the flowers and the sunrise and just. everything.

He'll still be able to live his life from the shadows and find beauty in the darkness, but Karlach?

He can see her death coming on the horizon and there's so much he actually wants to do, now that they're trying to make things real. and he just. is feeling the pressure bc he did waste time trying to get Karlach into a position to protect him and he'll forever feel bad about it (but not say anything bc that's his burden to carry).

So the immortal keeps thinking about this flower and what Karlach would look like adorned in beautifully crafted items accented in blue: gilded chains and cuffs adorning her hair and horns, sturdy leather dyed and stamped, fine silk embroidered with expensive floss, of all the nice things he wishes she could experience - because he promised her new experiences once they returned - and just.

When everyone's sleeping, he just spends that time sneakily embroidering this doublet he stole from a vendor the moment they entered the city. He's working against time, too, cus this is a gift he HAS to give her before her time is up. So, his skilled fingers move quickly, embroidering this black doublet with the most beautiful embroidery done mostly in blue, but accented with red, orange, and yellow.

He's almost done when Karlach tells him one night that she thinks she doesn't have much longer. Her heart is in overdrive and she can feel her body beginning to give out, to fail her when freedom was so close she could taste it. and it isn't fair. Astarion is SO angry at the world and at the Gods because he FINALLY has someone and. Time is running out. he feels even more powerless here because it really is just up to Karlach and whether she wants to keep going or not. He tries to talk to her about it, but usually they just end up fighting because they're both stubborn.

So, he avoids the conversation, mostly. Just tries to pretend the end isn't peeking over the horizon.

He doesn't give her the doublet right away. He doesn't want that finality, to give it to her and to know this may very well be the last time he gets to give her something he put his time into for her like this. and he has other gifts for her. a new owlbear to go with clive (even if he thinks that's juvenile, but he's not going to judge....well. he will, but not as much as if it were Gale who still had his stuffies). but he just. cannot bring himself give her this doublet bc he knows it's the first and last time she'll be adorned in something that he put together for her. the embroidered doublet is his labor of love, and the man does NOT like to labor.

embroidering isn't even necessarily his favorite thing to do, it's just one of his skills he actually has. he lacks self-confidence when it comes to what qualities he thinks he has that make him worthy of a relationship, but he can make sure his partners' clothes are mended and presentable.

When he finally gives it to her, it's after they take down Gortash. Karlach spends that very night alone, and Astarion cannot take it. He hasn't spent a single night away from Karlach since before they arrived at the Shadow-Cursed Lands, and now they're literally counting the days until they're taken from one another. He's big mad, seething, but very respectful to her bc he understands. he's not mat at HER, he's mad at everyone that took everything they could from her.

That's the first night he actually sits down and starts coming up with a plan. And it's a genuinely good one, but it's the first good one he's had in almost two-centuries. This is when he comes up with how he wants to convince Karlach to let him go to Avernus with her. He's not ready to let go and he is willing to murder his way through the Hells with her if he gets to see her smile about inconsequential things again.

He gives her the doublet the night before they plan to head for the Morphic Pool. They know it may be their last night together, so after a group meal, when everyone is winding down to turn in for the night, they make their way up to the roof of the tavern. They sit beneath the stars, side by side, but they're just sitting and refusing to look at one another.

Karlach is unusually still and silent. She's exhausted. Astarion swears she had his undead heart beating again, but seeing her like that had it stop cold in his chest. He tries to break the silence, to cut off his own thoughts so he doesn't spiral into despair thinking of the unknown, but just ends up reaching out to take her hand.

She's hot to the touch. He can feel that her temperature IS increasing and just. imagining what she's feeling and how she's been pent up this entire trip. like no fucking release from the pressure of this shitty heart that only does its job in the right environment.

She's the one who breaks it first. to thank him for his company. to tell him that he was a little fucking SHIT when she first met him, but she always could see something good behind the veneer of mischief hiding the fear in his piercing eyes. but she loves him and she's so, so happy to have been given a chance to love someone, to touch them freely, to feel loved in return. it was something she was missing in the last 10 years of the loneliness of being simple cannon fodder in an endless war.

and she doesn't want to talk abt this. she had been avoiding it, took him on their date to pretend like he wasn't doomed to be left alone in his eternity. And neither of them even MENTION the elephant in the room. like they're both talking circles around what's going to happen, but they're being honest about the feelings they have for one another. like the only thing they even voice concern for is not being able to take out the Absolute.

Under the stars, accompanied by declarations of love spilling from their lips, Astarion produces the doublet. Karlach is just ecstatic that she received a gift, but when she realizes HE embroidered it, she's just kinda like.

This is. the most beautiful gift i've ever received, fangs.

and her calloused fingers, fingers that had seen more war and death than anyone her age should have to, gently touch the floss, follow the design, and she realizes the particular shades of orange, red, and yellow are in her eyes, in her body, in her chest, all complimented by the blue thread he used as the main color of the design.

It's a design made of the sun, moon, and stars, trailing up the front, across the broad shoulders, and down the back yoke.

she's his sun. She's the gentle warmth of the sun's rays comforting him when he would rather recede to the shadows and fall back on old habits. she's his moon and his stars, his guiding light when everything seems like it may crash down and suffocate him. She's everything good in this world if you look for it. She's proof that you can be put through shit and still come out a decent person.

Karlach does cry, but it's nothing dramatic. It's a few tears, her own stomach and chest twisting with an overwhelming sense of loss and yearning; the loss of time when her light inevitably extinguishes and a deep yearning to stay. it's in direct opposition to her desire to die in the place she loves simply so she can keep living this life with the man she loves.

She puts the doublet on, wearing it that night while he cuddled against her side. They held each other beneath the stars, until it was time for Karlach to get some rest for the upcoming battle. Astarion spends that entire night just watching her, playing with her hair, getting every last touch he can, then makes a vow that he WILL save Karlach, just as she saved him.

OKAY ACTUAL LAST THING AKFBRIWKAK but obviously, you keep your family life very private and your daughter is almost never seen in public bc that's how bakugou likes it, he doesn't talk about his family all that often bc he wants to keep it all close to his chest, and maybe he even gets a bit more shredded than usual by the media about it, as he already has a "reputation", but —

one day, a video that you took gets leaked, and it starts out with her sitting on your lap, chilled, relaxing, shaking some little rattle toy in her hand. and then the front door opens and you can see her peek her little head around like she's looking out, and then she's making some little humming noises and scooching off your lap and waddling away to stand in the middle of the hallway. and then katsuki comes into view and he stands there looking at her, glancing at you, before saying something that's too low to catch on camera, and then your daughter is squealing out some gibberish behind her chupie and running as fast as her little chubby legs can take her so he can pick her up and give her a kiss on her fat cheeks !!!!!

up past bedtime.. 🐈

[altruistic-meme]

me: *makes gifs* me, 2 seconds later: oh wait hey

SO the first real close up shots we get of Wilhelm and Simon’s hands are approximately a minute apart from each other. and as i was looking at them, i realize they both kind of say something important about the characters and now i’m going to talk about it some (bear with me, i should be heading to bed by now so i have no idea if this will be coherent at all)

we’ll start with Wilhelm’s hands, since they appear first.

first thing of notice is the specific context behind this shot: Erik tossed the etiquette book at Wilhelm. naturally i am looking way too into it, but it reflects not only that Erik "gives” his role to Wilhelm, but also the abruptness of it -- Erik tosses the book when he’s not looking. Erik’s death comes during a time when we really aren’t thinking about him, Wilhelm isn’t thinking about him, he’s distracted by Simon. 

next, he’s inspecting the book. it’s a book of etiquette and rules, stuff that is expected of him. we’ve already seen that Wilhelm has to live up to high expectations (and that his family doesn’t think he reaches them), we’ve seen him getting angry at these expectations. he just wants to be normal. but now he’s at the school he never wanted to attend, and there are more rules. it’s an acknowledgement of his world, or the world he lives in. it’s rules and expectations and etiquette. 

all of this paired with the lecture that Erik is giving him and his anger about it continues to let us in on how much he dislikes his position as Prince. 

then we have Simon

I think Simon’s is a little special in a different way. we JUST had the scene above, Wilhelm arguing with Erik about not wanting to be at the school, which is an extension of his frustrations about having to uphold certain appearances solely because he was born as a Prince. 

and then we get Simon quite literally giving a middle finger. 

it shows us Simon’s attitude in general, how hard he tries to not be bothered by anything. but i feel like it also represents Simon’s feelings towards the monarchy. he doesn’t care, he doesn’t give a fuck. 

and, most importantly, the final shot of Wilhelm seconds before is him standing alone in the hallway. Simon doesn’t give a fuck that Wilhelm is the Prince. that has never factored into Simon’s feelings towards Wilhelm (with the brief exception of their first time talking).

making mick deal with barry when len is in the “sabotaging things before they can get any more serious” stage of their relationship is truly one of my favorite things when writing coldflash… it’s like that part in pride and prejudice (2005) where darcy flees charlotte’s guest house after seeing lizzie there and charlotte asks lizzie “what on earth have you done to poor mr. darcy?” except mick knows exactly what barry has done to len and he thinks it’s hilarious, but he’s also just loyal enough to len to not say that to barry’s face
