any hobie and/or miguel icks? 😟

whoever sent this: thank you + i ADORE you. i hope you don't mind i'm switching up the formatting/style a it in comparison to my older icks... shorter list, more detailed <3

(warning: some fem terms used at the end, such as “mama!”)

-

Miguel O'Hara

- This guy... has some long ass toenails. Type of toenails that poke you at night in bed, and tear holes in his socks.

It's maybe somewhat related to the claw thing he's got going on? Has a lot stronger and faster-growing nails than the average person... but the real problem here is that he's TERRIBLE about clipping them. Claims it doesn't bother him even remotely and that you're the one overreacting when you ask him to... but hardly anything gets through to him about it. You probably even offer to do it for him one day, thinking the offer of a foot massage would sway his thinking and that it'd actually work... but he fought you on that just as easy...!!!

...which is how you came to the conclusion that you have a man who'll even argue w/ you over toenails. Petty boy.

- Miguel is also tired 24/7. AND yeah, it's pretty hard to be un-sympathetic towards that, but he's tired in the... I'm-gonna-prioritize-this-one-last-email-over-saying-goodnight-to-you way. Which gets real irritating when you're asking him to help you out w/ anything, like cleaning up or answering a question or JUST HAVING A DAMN CONVERSATION W/ YOU and he's using "I'm tired" as an excuse when his response is shitty or distracted.

Like one of those stupid guys whose always squinting at their damn iPad when you ask what he wants for dinner... which is ironic given that he'll get snippy at you for not giving him your full, entire attention whenever he wants it. Type of man to start picking imaginary lint off your head when you're simply trying to finish up a text before engaging him so that you aren't distracted.

- Odd about Lyla. Not that he loves her or anything, but she'll like pop up to give him updates about whatever even if you're MID-MAKEOUT session and he won't change that setting. Pulling away from your lips all pouty and squinty only to glare at his watch for thirty seconds before trying to go right back into kissing you.

No. No sir.

(Lyla will also always say something to or-but-usually-and about you, which... Okay, she's an AI and doesn't Get It... but it's still weird because it feels like someone you don't know just walked into the room.)

- Picks his nose when he's too busy to find a tissue, and forgets to sanitize his hands after. Denies this when you tell him.. but you've witnessed this multiple times (he's weirdly kind of whiney for a dude and lazy for a workaholic LOL).

Hobie Brown

- Lovely boyfriend because he doesn't give a crap about your appearance or the idea of needing to "look nice" for a man... but also stupid, nuisance boyfriend because this means he doesn't give one hoot if you try to get all gussied up for him. Nags you about wasting time getting ready because he doesn't need you to do all that instead of just saying "THANK YOU, YOU LOOK NICE." Even probably complains about you feeding into gender stereotypes or w/e when you do something like shave your legs or pluck your eyebrows😭

You try to talk to him about this, ask if he even cares that you tried to look nice, and he skirts around admitting it because he has an argument for everything. "'oughta know I think you're pretty either way"-ass when you just spent an hour trying to look all good for him.

- Tries to share the most obscure music with you... which is like, sweet in concept, but weird when it actually happens since it's never like a generic love song but an eleven minute underground jam session.

Which isn't to say he has bad taste in music, usually it's fine if not fantastic... but you try to tell him you don't want to listen to some dude's first draft of himself banging on a drum set for a full album and he's like: "tsk."

HOBIE. TSK??? FUCKING TSK????????? WHAT ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE????????

(He'll also use his to get out of listening to your music. Claiming his "inconsistency" is why he liked your playlist yesterday but not today. Stop!!!)

- And you know I gotta say it, he's a punk, after all: absolutely refuses to clean his favorite leather jacket, and it smells RANK. He's genuinely sentimental about it, though... and if you even try to bring up cleaning it somehow (even if very gently), he's acting like you betrayed him. Goes through the five stages of grief over you asking him not to wear it on one of your dates, and teases you by TALKING to it:

"Mumma didn't mean that, jackie. She just doesn't understand our lifestyle, does she?" while giving you a (lighthearted) stink eye.

draw david n simon with corpse face paint

everyone lets ignore this took me a year to draw

[redr0sewrites]

ohhh my GOD are you seriously a fucking proshipper?? why can't yall just put it in your bio that you fucking suck like everyone else so i can block you BEFORE i get attached? i would really love it if i didn't have to block another writer or artist i've been following for months/years. i wouldn't have engaged with you at all if i knew, and i sure as shit am not engaging with you anymore now that i do.

btw, 90% of your recent anon asks (since ~December) have been coming from me alone. i honest to god wouldn't have wasted my time with you at all if i knew, but you're too much of a pussy to admit the kind of person you are, because you KNOW you'll get backlash for it. being spineless AND a degenerate is honestly pathetic. pick a struggle.

i mean this kindly but what the fuck are you talking about 😭🙏

[queernoctis]

so we know how it goes the first time gen calls seph good girl, does it go about the same when angeal does it? i always tend to think seph gives a bit more of an honest responses to angeal a little easier than to gen on the first pass just by the nature of their relationship but i love asking questions LOL

it def Would feel more genuine coming from angeal i think ;0; with gen, seph has that lingering doubt that he's just making fun of her, but not with angeal

[3-aem]

chill tf out i was just giving an advice, you have no right to treat random ppl like that, especially when i was just trying to help. you’re a proper asshole, hope ppl realize that

who tf asked for it though

here i’ll spell it out for you since you clearly don’t understand and id like you comprehend why you giving unsolicited advice is broadly seen as entitled and a dick move by the entire creator community online: we are not an art critique circle

if your criticism ever hurts someone and stops them from wanting to draw you failed as a critiquer. your criticism wasn’t constructive it was destructive. and the chances of this happening on the internet is High.

point blank: you don’t know if someone is doing drawing something someway because they like it or not. and you voicing your opinion is thus not ‘helping’ as you so very much want to believe, it’s entitlement to think you know better.

people draw and post on here to get away from real world where critiques from ur boss or ur colleagues actually matter.

there are times where creators solicit advice or suggestions. give them there.

[glitterrosesnzz]

can I ask something with a sick venti?i miss him trying to hide his wings even when he feels bad(imagine if he accidentally slaps the traveler with them)

as usual when it comes to me writing m/ondstadt, a bunch of characters who weren't intended to be here ended up showing up anyways-

~

When Aether entered the Dawn Winery, per the request of Diluc's message (which had been urgently sent via bird), the first thing he saw was Kaeya standing in the foyer.

"...Shouldn't you be upstairs helping out?" Aether asked. Kaeya avoided his eyes for a moment, then fixed him with an award winning smile that Aether was not the least bit fooled by.

"I got kicked out. ...For reasons." Kaeya said- and it was at this point that Aether belatedly noticed the layer of frost slowly melting off of the cavalry captain's hands.

"For reasons, huh?" Aether deadpanned, reaching into his pocket dimension and rummaging around for a moment. Eventually he seemed to find what he was looking for, as he pulled out a small bag. "Well- I guess you can do this then- I got some leaves from the Windrise tree and some other... tea stuff. At the very least adding the Windrise leaves to it should help Venti a little. ...I think."

"Ah, reduced to the job of boiling water." Kaeya took the offered bag and started walking in the direction of the kitchen.

"Don't burn it!" Aether called after him.

"Is it even possible to burn water?"

"I'm sure there are ways." A vivid memory of the last time the Raiden Shogun had tried cooking sprung to mind. Aether shook the thought out of his head, and turned and headed upstairs to the bedrooms. As soon as he got up there, he could make out the sound of voices coming from the guest room.

"Bard, get back in that bed right now or so help me-"

"I didn't take you as the type to infringe on other's freedoms, Master Diluc-"

"Alright, that's it-"

Aether opened the door at just the right time to witness Diluc grab Venti by the waist and lift him up and away from the window the anemo archon had clearly been trying to get to. Venti barely even struggled, although he did kick his legs a little bit, clearly trying half-heartedly to hit Diluc and not at all succeeding.

A quick glance to the side revealed that Jean was also in the room, her hand against her forehead in barely restrained frustration.

"Diluc, please be gentle with him." She said, quietly acknowledging the Traveler's presence with a small nod. Diluc didn't verbally respond to her, but Aether could've sworn he saw him roll his eyes.

Venti was practically pouting as he was placed back down onto the bed, crossing his arms and glaring at Diluc, which the other pointedly ignored. Aether finally got a chance to take in Venti's appearance- his hair was all mussed up, and one of his braids was coming undone. The ends of his hair were glowing with the teal of anemo, and that, combined with the flush on his face, was all the information Aether needed to know that Venti was most likely running a fever.

It was only once Aether was standing directly beside the bed that Venti finally took notice of him.

"Oh, hey Traveler!" Venti sniffled a little, rubbing his nose against his sleeve. "Would you mind telling these two that I am perfectly fine enough to make a lil trip to Old Mondstadt?"

"Ha, nice try." Aether said, sitting down on the edge of the bed beside Venti. "Diluc specifically called me in as reinforcement."

"Oh c'mon, I'm clearly fi-ihh...hIH-" The teal glow in Venti's hair flared brighter as his eyes slipped shut. Jean and Diluc hurriedly stepped back away from the bed-

Aether didn't quite get the memo in time.

"Hh'NGkT-chiew!!" Venti doubled over with a stifled sneeze, his wings appearing and unfolding- smacking Aether in the face and knocking him off the bed. The Traveler remained on the floor for a moment, stunned. After a second, he pushed himself up, catching the moment Venti's wings drooped down with exhaustion- and a bit of guilt.

"...Sorry, Traveler." He muttered, retracting his wings with a visible grimace, his body shuddering. Aether frowned, re-taking his position of sitting on the bed- albeit in a spot he was less likely to get smacked by a wing.

"It's fine." Aether said, "Wouldn't it be easier if you just left your wings out, though?"

"Uhh..." Venti rubbed at his nose again, tilting his head to the side a little and avoiding eye contact. Off to the side, Jean and Diluc let out near identical sighs.

"We've been trying to tell him that for the past two hours." Jean said, "He hasn't listened."

Venti fully looked away from them, muttering something about the possibilities of maids walking in at any time. Diluc opened his mouth, clearly about to say something about how he'd sent all the Dawn Winery staff home for the day-

There was a loud crash from the kitchen, startling everyone, followed by a curse that was surprisingly loud enough to reach up to the second floor.

"...I gave Kaeya the job of making tea." Aether said, "How could you possibly mess up at making tea?"

Diluc glanced upwards as though he was praying for a miracle- though he likely wasn't actually praying, considering his god was sitting sick directly in front of him. He turned and marched out of the room, Jean hurriedly moving to follow him- briefly glancing back and silently asking with her expression if Aether could handle Venti on his own. The Traveler gave her a nod in return, and she quickly followed Diluc down the stairs.

Venti stared at Aether.

Aether stared at Venti.

Slowly, as though Aether wasn't staring directly at him, Venti got off of the bed, and on somewhat shaky legs, started making his way towards the window.

Aether patiently waited until Venti was right in front of the window before he launched off of the bed, quickly grabbing onto Venti's shoulders, pulling him back away from the window.

"Aw, c'mon!" Venti whined as Aether started gently pushing him back towards the bed. "Just a tiny trip to Ol-hH-.... Old MondstahH-"

Venti's hands started moving up to his face-

Aether spun Venti around so that he was facing him, grabbing hold of one of Venti's wrist with one hand, and placing his other hand against the back of Venti's head, gently bringing Venti closer to him. Venti squirmed, shaking his head and trying to choke back hitching breaths.

"Hey, it's okay." Aether said, "Trust me."

Even if Venti wanted to protest to that, he didn't really get much choice in the matter.

"Hihh-hH'ISsH-iew!! Hh...hEH'EtSHchiew!!" Venti had no choice but to sneeze into Aether's shoulder, his wings unfurling, one of them smacking into the wall of the room. Aether winced a little at that, figuring it was definitely bruised at least. Venti's wings twitched, and then he was surging forwards with three more sneezes. "Heh- hEH'Tt-shiew! Hh'EtSHiew!! Hh- hihH- hH'ITsHhiew!!"

Aether barely held back a shiver at the sensation of anemo energy that now filled his veins, smirking a little as Venti pulled back, clear surprise on his face.

"...Um." Venti blinked slowly, seemingly processing, and Aether used the opportunity to guide him back to the bed, carefully maneuvering around Venti's wings.

"There we go." Aether said once Venti was sitting down, "You don't have to go to Old Mondstadt anymore, right?"

"....I... guess not?" Venti said, just the slightest bit dazed. A thought seemed to cross his mind, clearing some of the haze from his eyes. "Ah- but, you'll get sick if I keep-"

"Oh, please." Aether scoffed, "I don't get sick."

Venti stared at him with something in between disbelief and being completely and utterly unimpressed.

"No, seriously, I've never been sick in my life." Aether continued, "Never."

Venti opened his mouth, ready to question him-

Another crash, much louder than before, rang out from the kitchen, followed by three different panicked shouts, along with what Aether was certain was the sound of Diluc summoning his claymore. Aether threw his hands up in frustration.

"It is not that hard to make tea! They've literally all done it before!" He said, making his way to the door. He paused in the doorframe, turned around, and pointed at Venti.

"Stay there. I'll be back in a second." He said, and then vanished down the hall. Venti stared unblinkingly at the door for a solid minute, and then sighed, laying down on his side, his wing folding overtop of him like a blanket. If he was going to have to stay here, he might as well get comfortable...

He must've fallen asleep at some point, cause when he next opened his eyes, there was a cup of tea on the nightstand beside him, and Aether was sitting there, looking slightly singed.

"...The art of making tea is more complicated than you'd think." He said, and Venti made a mental note to himself to later ask what in Teyvat had happened in that kitchen.

[beloveds-embrace]

I live and thrive from the Dukedom angst (I love pain), and I cannot stop thinking about it.

Reader obv is already self harming by starving herself, but now that the guys are more aware of it, I can imagine them forcing her to eat more. Maybe it just starts as a few bites extra, but regardless they are depriving her of her coping mechanism. They see her start to gain a little weight back, and they feel less guilty and they feel like they are slowly helping-

But they’re not.

Reader turns to another form of self harming, because she wants to feel a semblance of control. She hides this better than the starving, knowing that the guys are viewing her weight in tandem with her mental and physical health, rather than addressing her health directly.

I could imagine the pain both parties would feel once the self harm was outed; reader feeling like she’s lost all control and the resulting shame, and the guys each blaming themselves for being blind to the issue and them having to grapple with just how poorly her mental health actually is...

But yeah that’s where my mind went 🙂

Hii anon!! The concept of reader self-harming has been explored a bit here!

[gotstabbedbyapen]

u know how you’ve headcanoned that Ares saw the jar fiasco as pence for going after Leto and the twins? 👀

I headcanon that after python Apollo rolled up to Ares and was like FIGHT ME because he’s running high on his vengeance spree and Ares just Looks at this pubescent god pointing a sword at him, rolls his eyes, and says; “do you even know HOW to use that thing?”

Cut to Ares showing Apollo how to properly grip a sword’s grip, and it was those lessons that helped Apollo kill Tityos ^-^

so I propose: Tityos was part 1 repentance and Giants were part 2. One for each twin ^-^

@apollosgiftofprophecy

What a pleasant surprise to have you here, Alder 👀

I can't believe you still remember that headcanon, and I totally agree with yours! Ares was a terrible brother for persecuting the twins when Leto was still pregnant with them, but deep down he still feel bad for them and tried to make it up during the Tityos and the Aloadae incidents.

I have another addition about Ares' repentance: when Apollo and Ares were boxing in the first Olympic, they were almost equally matched. But then Ares started to see the pain in Apollo's stubbornness, the struggle of a bastard trying to make his father proud and pay back for all of his mother's suffering, including Ares' part. So toward the end, Ares kinda start letting Apollo hit him more, like the more pain he gets, the more "relief" he felt. But at the same time, his pride didn't let him give up so easily.

Apollo beat Ares fair and square in the end, and Ares was still humiliated for his defeat. But a part of him still quietly said, "Good job, kid."

Hey there! I just want to let you know that apparently there's people planning on sending child gore in ask boxes over the next few days. (Post link: https://www.tumblr.com/cynthiadasorceress/770593639802011648?source=share)

I can't guarantee it's true or false, but I feel it's important to share in case it's real. Stay safe, friend.

Hey! So these kind of rumors spread every other months atp so I can guarantee that this is not true. Also, I'm someone who heavily suffers with paranoia and these kinds of things really, REALLY trigger me. DO NOT SPREAD THESE. They are not true. Do you know where these rumors originated??? They are meant to cause chaos and fear.

Also, even if they were true, images are censored by default if the blog that sent them in aren't followed by you. Not to mention the accounts would be easy to block and report since you can't attach images with anon. So this is a stupid plan by whoever would be planning this, so it isn't true.

There's no hacker. There's no cp/gore being sent to inboxes. Maybe before sending this shit in to ask boxes with a really high likelyhood to trigger someone, ask for a fucking SOURCE for where the person found out this was happening. It reads like those discord alerts "don't friend NotJack#0095 if you do he'll hack you and everyone on your friends list!!! 😱😱😱😱😱" like get real ong

sorry for the tone I'm pretty triggered by these kinds of messages a lot of them were created specifically to trigger people like me

Louis headcanons… 🤲

YASSS OKAYYYYY 😻

looks mostly like his dad with his mums colour palate. also a little more snatched like his mum and not as built as his dad. but you can TELL he’s bill’s son if you were to see them side by side

french fuckboy

grew his hair out and had a ponytail era. when he let it loose people genuinely confused him to be a girl (yes he gets hit on by LOTS of confused men and lesbians 😭)

gryffindor with dominique. only a year older than james sirius potter.

closer to dominique than to victoire but respects victoire more funnily enough. kind of like victoire is a second mum. has no problem roasting the shit out of dominique but will check himself with victoire

has begged victoire to give in and date teddy because he desperately wants a cool brother (was happier than teddy and victoire combined when they did get tgt)

is the vain delacour that molly weasley feared fleur was, except he’s masculine as hell and flexes in every mirror he sees (he still looks like a girl)

VERY pretty and could win miss universe or best waifu

he was the femboy reckoning at hogwarts but against his will. he wants women but he keeps pulling men. like that inosuke guy.

best subject was charms and DADA, courtesy of his dad being very talented and his mum being the same except also add her being a drill sergeant

nepo babied his way into interning at gringotts but got on the goblins nerves sm they fired him anyway (louis still pretended to go in because he was so scared about what his parents + victoire would say)

made a secret tiktok account for posting his thirst traps until dominique and victoire found it and he was so embarrassed he deleted it

favourite cousin is roxanne despite their age gap just because shes always so hilarious and always down to do whatever and just never takes anything seriously (also she was the cutest baby in louis’ opinion). its less a friendship and more like a one sided smittenness on louis’ side— he has a whole folder on his camera roll dedicated to her being generally goofy

people use his face for clout and to catfish people all the time. every time his girl friends need to loyalty test their man they just snap a photo of his face

that being said, he IS the man you need to loyalty test. mf has fifteen girls on the back burner that still think they have a chance with him

that also being said, hes waiting for marriage 🙏 (he wants his first time to be special guyz)

that ALSO being said, absolutely no one thinks he’s going to last that long

likes bantering with his mum a lot and getting on her nerves. she’ll start swearing at him in french when rapidly lecturing him in english doesn’t work and he finds that to be the funniest shit ever

bill weasley is such a Daughter Dad so he’ll baby tf out of victoire and dominique and then get louis to do all the household chores 💀

but louis is also the biggest diva in the family by far so bill and fleur drop more money on him than victoire and dominique combined. and then they complain about how spoilt their son is and the girls are just like “🙄 stop buying him shit then 😒”

meh at quidditch but decides he hates it because he’s not the best at it (it’s an ego thing)

really likes his maternal cousins and only allows aunt gabrielle to plait his hair

godfather is uncle percy 😭 every time its his bday louis forces percy to go shopping so he can drop some big bucks on him (whatever karma percy accumulated in his youth has taken the form of his godson now).

lucy is a year older than him and they keep feuding over her dad. think blue haired liberal versus white blond conventionally attractive man. thats the relationship, and its hilarious especially during joint family dinners.

used to be very scared of the dark and couldnt sleep by himself and so victoire was always forced to let louis sleep with her when they were younger

also always goes to victoire for hair care help and his mum for skincare and fashion help

despite being seemingly easygoing and carefree, he can hold VERY mean grudges and will never apologise for something if he doesn’t think he’s in the wrong.

also will fist fight someone over a yo mama joke (yes he’s sensitive about his mum, don’t insult her to his face)

everyone knows louis for the menace he is except grandma molly who treats him like hes the sun that the earth circles around (yes grandma molly likes bill’s kids the most, what of it?)

louis is surprisingly very sweet to old people. he does his due diligence and visits them the most, brings new presents to arthur and helps molly with chores and lets them fuss over him.

okayyyy i think ive yapped enough

[unpopularvivian]

Do you think James has made a chambusquina???

Please for the love of God:

STOP

[milo-igidk]

Hiii! Random question, did you ever watch rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles

if so what was your opinion on it

Also heyyyy fellow kotlc fan :D

(you don't have to answer this ask if you don't want to lmao)

LOOKS AT YOU WITH AUTISM IN MY EYES

yeah i watched rottmnt. and by watched, well, heh. let’s just say hyperfixated on it for a year or so 🧍

i love rottmnt so so much one of my favorite shows it made me so insane, the fandom is so so silly (at least the side i was in ig) i love the animation SO MUCH FLYING BARK PRODUCTIONS SAVE ME, its so funny, the characters are all so well written and entertaining to watch, the plot is so good, the voice acting goes hardd, (i love ben schwartz, sue me)

honestly miss the era in my life when i was in its fandom, i met my best friend and a lot of other cool ppl there, and it was just like a rlly nice comunity ig (again it definetly depends which side of the fandom youre on lmfao). i think i joined in between s2 and the movie, and i loveeeed the movie fucking soooo good. the other time i joined a fandom right before the movie came out was tales of arcadia and,, yeah we dont talk abt that movie.

i love the character dynamics sm i could talk abt them a lot, all the characters are so lovable and funny and have silly sibling dynamics, i couldnt pick a favourite so dont ask me 🙏 i do kin leo tho hes so me fr (guy who kins keefe from kotlc also kins leo from rotmnt, shocker!)

the show has such a special place in my heart and im forever mad it got cancelled :[[

the silliesss, oh youre gonna make me rewatch it annon

[wwwvrly]

fwb cate anon again… been thinking a lot about smoking weed with her in the park on a warm summers day.. sativa which makes her fidgety but in a very cute way that she hates you pointing out… convincing her to take her gloves off to feel the grass under her fingers…

yesyes!! and !!!

cate loves to sunbathe too, so that warm fuzzy feeling she gets when she’s with you only intensifies!!! the weed drives her need to have her senses fulfilled and she finds herself fisting at the grass just to ground her down when your laugh makes her feel like floating away.

she loves the smell of summer beside you. she loves how you glow under the setting sun. she loves how at the end of her high, you’re still holding her hand and smiling brightly at her like you’re not scared, like you wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else.

and maybe that’s when she realizes that she might love you more than a friend does

[who-tf-eats-their-children]

“Oh hello grandpa, I somehow haven’t met you much…”

(Wait does this mean that Percy Jackson and Hephaestus are technically in the same range of child?)

Grandchildren! How are you? How has your life been? Has anyone been giving you a hard time? I'll sic Hera on them, don't you worry! Have you been eating? Hydrating?-

*continues to fret for over 10 minutes*

[celestie0]

would kickoff gojo softlaunch or hardlaunch reader on his social media?

GREAT QUESTION i feel like he would hard launch on their one month anniversary or sumth straight to the timeline 🤔 i headcanon he doesnt post to his story very often at least compared to his feed

idk i think he’d keep their relationship sorta private on insta, like only post on anniversary or birthday or holidays stuff but he’s always begging her to do every single couples challenge or dance or trendthey come across on tiktok so his tiktok feed is just entirely her

[junosmindpalace]

Hey there juno, lots been going on. If you need a distraction or feel like writing a dcst prompt, I’ve got one for you: Senku doesn’t exactly express his feelings—not the sad painful ones anyway. He’s perfectly happy showing irritation, disappointment, and frustration, but only in the brief time before he picks up and moves on to figuring other stuff out before circling right back to the problem. I just want Reader to acknowledge that he does these things, doesn’t necessarily want to remove him from this routine because it is helpful, but it’s unhelpful in a way if too relied upon. So, as a fellow stoic emotion person, who does practically the same thing, they just kinda… remove Senku from the situation—drag him off for a night walk, or stargazing, or the making of something comepletely unrelated. A real break. It isn’t that he’s overworked and exhausting himself more so that if such habits continue, he will crumble. And there’s a lot of things readers noticed about Senku that don’t get talked about and they doesn’t pry into. That’s his business. If he makes it your business, you’ll listen. Your current business is making sure This Guy doesn’t burn himself out. You’re kinda stoic and tend towards a calm, quiet, cool personality—not shy, not uncomfortable, just a little quieter in your confidence, you don’t need affirmations—but it’s part of why you think Senku might need a ‘dude everything you’re working on and doing is just hella amazing’ and instead of attributing those successes to his intelligence, ascribes it to his hard working ability. Hence. Why that break is necessary. Something like that.

anon i COMPLETELY resonate with this and you’re so right. senku’s not the kind of guy to linger too much on his frustration, not because of a "weakness" thing, but because he knows it’s counterproductive; the emotional stuff just isn’t his thing either. the best thing in his mind is to keep going at it, work out a solution. so to have someone just kinda be like Hey We’re Doing Something Else For A Bit, even if it’s not outright said it’s for his benefit to clear his mind, would be nice. even if at first senku might find it a bit nonsensical, especially since he’s being pulled away from his work.

but just gently telling him to do this and that with you—go out to a restaurant you really like, go stargazing, flip through a science book—whatever it may be, he grows to appreciate it, and if anything most times returns to his work with new ideas!

and of course that doesn't mean you're gonna pry him to talk about his feelings regarding his work or himself or whatnot unless he wants to, but you'll always make sure to let him know in this way that the conversation is welcome.
