[bunnyb34r]

Cool cool cool

So DogCousin showed up early w/o her mom and the garage guy can't come out til tomorrow but didn't like call or anything. Mom had to call the guy bc he would be 2 hours late atm right? His fucking brother died last friday and they're behind on the funeral arrangements and work orders... um why wouldn't you tell any new clients "hey I'm sorry we don't have any open appointments until at least next week."

But like my god my dude this can fucking wait! We told you it wasn't an emergency!!

I don't wanna ask him but I wonder if it was the guy he came with last time....

Anyway they left, guy is rescheduled, and god I hate talking to my cousin. Mom is like very aware of it today just how... socially inept my cousin is sgdgdgd like how despite her being an extrovert, she at least with ME has no social grace/awareness and it's like yeah see I told you they (the older grandkids) hated us/me especially so... 😒

(Making this a separate post because I think it deserves it) I know I said a while back that I don't think Hiro and Ando have kids but wouldn't you know it, I've changed my mind... I think at some point they get a Dial-a-Hero call from a little girl asking them to help her escape, like, an abusive orphanage/foster home and one thing kind of leads to another and the next thing they know they have a daughter. She's like five or six when they adopt her and her name is Yoshiko (she gets the nickname of Yoshi, and yeah, it's definitely in reference to the video game character) and she's very small and cute, kinda chubby, wears her hair in pigtails and has a big chunky pair of glasses with a super-strong prescription. Nobody was really expecting her to have a power but surprise! She has the ability to safely ingest any substance and get nutrients from it as though it were regular food. She's very timid and cries easily, but also very affectionate and loves to cuddle with her dads, especially when she's upset.

For the first little while, Hiro is kind of freaking out internally because he's not sure if he's equipped to raise a kid. However, he's surprised to discover how much Ando seems to be enjoying it. Then he remembers when they were babysitting Matt's baby, how easily he fell into the role, and Hiro realizes that Ando has secretly wanted to be a parent for quite a while. Hiro settles in more himself after that, because even if he wouldn't make a good parent on his own... well, he's not on his own, so why worry about it? And he really does have a way with kids, especially those around Yoshiko's age; he's great at playing with her, and quickly becomes her go-to parent when she's in the mood for fun. Sometimes he'll read her comic books as bedtime stories, and he always does fun voices for all the characters. Ando is the more responsible parent, meanwhile, and makes sure that she doesn't tucker herself out too much. He helps her with homework, too--something that Hiro is absolutely helpless at. They both stress out so much whenever she gets sick or hurt, but thanks to their love and care, Yoshiko grows up to be strong and healthy.

She doesn't get the best grades in school, because she daydreams a lot, and she also doodles in her notebooks just constantly. After a while, Hiro and Ando take her in for a psych evaluation, and she gets diagnosed with ADHD (which Hiro also has, even though he never got a proper diagnosis). They manage to get some accommodations for her, and her grades improve to the point where she's no longer in danger of failing. She doesn't stop drawing in her notebooks, though! Sometimes she'll just fill and entire page with drawings, and then she'll tear it out and offer it to her dads so they can hang it up on the fridge if they want. Hiro folds up a lot of her drawings and puts them in his wallet to show people; Ando keeps a bunch of her drawings in his desk at work, and he tries not to let people see them, but he'll take a look at then when he's having a bad day and they always lift his spirits.

When she gets to be about nine or ten, she starts asking to accompany her dads on their Dial-a-Hero missions, and of course they say no because it's way too dangerous and she is Baby (tm). She keeps on growing up, though, and she keeps getting more insistent, and by the time she's a preteen she's far less timid than she was back when they adopted her. Now she's trying out for all the sports teams at her school, and even though she's not coming in first place by a long shot, she's a better athlete than either Hiro or Ando ever was. At one point Ando comes home from work early and catches her out in the backyard swinging Hiro's sword around, and although the motions are wild and unpracticed, so were Hiro's when the blade first came into his possession. When Hiro gets home a little later that evening, Ando pulls him aside for a private discussion and suggests that maybe they should start letting Yoshiko come with them on a few of their missions--only the safe ones, he adds swiftly upon seeing Hiro's initial reaction. Hiro thinks it over and ultimately agrees. The two of them take Yoshiko with them on a mission for the first time as a present for her thirteenth birthday; the mission in question is to retrieve a little boy's kite from a tree, and she passes with flying colours.

Although Yoshiko gets increasingly bold and ambitious as she grows, she also takes after her dads; she's kind of a huge dweeb, and she can still be pretty anxious about things. She gets teased at school a fair bit, at least until she makes friends with some like-minded people and manages to form a welcoming and supportive social circle. As much as she loves her dads, her biggest role model is her aunt Kimiko, with her middle school art teacher being a close second. As a teen, she decides that she wants to be a mangaka, with superhero work as her day job. She continues to struggle in school, often skipping difficult classes in favour of frequenting local coffee shops, but her dads are with her and supporting her all the way. They'll always support her, and each other as well, no matter where life takes them, and they make sure she knows it. They're the Nakamura-Masahashi family, after all, and that's how they roll.

Us Against the World

Fandom: Star Wars (Childhood Best Friends AU)

Pairing: Poe Dameron x Reader

Summary: You and Poe have been best friends since preschool. At that young age, Poe made a declaration, a promise. One that he intended on keeping. Based off of this post.

Age 4

You were nervous entering the preschool. When your mom said she’d be leaving you there for a couple of hours, you were scared. You didn’t want to be alone.

“Don’t wanna go,” you said with a whimper as you clung to your mom’s hand.

She knelt down, “Y/N, it’s gonna be okay. You’re gonna have so much fun! You’ll make friends and you’ll forget you’ve been gone for a while.” You still had a scared look on your face. Your mom sighed, “If you’re good, I’ll take you out for ice cream, okay?”

You smiled softly and nodded. She walked you into the classroom and was instantly greeted to a woman about the same age as your mom, “Hi there. I’m Mrs. Organa. And who might you be?”

“Y/N,” you said shyly.

The woman smiled, “Hi, Y/N. Nice to meet you. Do you wanna go play with some toys?” You nodded and hugged your mom good-bye before heading towards the toy chest. 

You spotted a big fire truck and grabbed for it, but so did another kid. You looked up to see a boy with tan skin, black curly hair, and brown eyes. He picked up the truck and look at you, “Do you wanna play with me?” As if feeling your apprehension, he smiled, “I’m Poe!”

“I’m Y/N,” you said shyly.

“Wanna play, Y/N?”

“Okay.”

After that, you and Poe could not be separated. You both always got upset when you weren’t in the same groups for play time. You always wanted to lay next to each other for nap time, and you two always shared your snacks. 

One day in class, Mrs. Organa asked what everyone wanted to do when they grow up. Poe immediately stood up from his chair, “When I grow up, I’m gonna marry Y/N!” he said proudly. You blushed as all the kids laughed and made noises of disgust. Poe immediately got upset, “It’s not funny! Y/N is my best friend and I wanna be with her forever!”

Age 10

You and Poe sat in the principal’s office waiting for your parents to arrive. You and Poe held each other’s hands as Ms. Tanno looked at both of you disappointedly. 

Your dad and Poe’d dad, Kes, walked in frantically, “Is everything okay?”

“What happened?”

“Is anyone hurt?”

Ms. Tanno held up her hand and they all silenced, “The only person who got hurt was Mrs. Organa’s son, Ben Solo.”

“What exactly happened?” Kes asked.

Ms. Tanno gestured to you, “Go ahead, you two.”

You sighed, “Ben was making fun of me. Saying I was ugly and that no one would like me.”

“Then I was defending her and told Ben to buzz off!”

“Then Ben called Poe stupid and knocked him down. Poe looked like he was about to cry and then...”

You looked at Poe’s who’s eyes fell down to his lap and were filled with hurt, “He said ‘What are you gonna do? Cry to your mommy? Oh wait, you don’t have one anymore.” Poe started sniffling and you tightened your hold on his hand.

“So I punched Ben in the face.”

Kes knelt down in front of both of you, “Y/N, I appreciate what you did for Poe, but violence isn’t the answer.”

You looked down in shame, “I know, but after Ben mentioned Aunt Shara, I just..I just couldn’t help it.”

Your dad looked to Ms. Tanno, “So what’s going to happen?”

“Well, since Y/N punched someone, I’ll have to suspend her.”

Poe’s head shot up, “No! Suspend me!”

Ms. Tanno shook her head, “But you didn’t punch Ben, Poe.”

“So? I-It’s my fault that Ben got punched! I interfered! I should get suspended, not Y/N!”

“I’m sorry, Poe. It’s not how that works.”

Poe frowned and crossed his arms over his chest, “Well if Y/N is suspended, then I’m not going to school until she’s back.”

“Poe, stop,” you tried reasoning with him.

He looked at you, “No. Best friends forever, remember? They can’t separate us no matter what.”

Age 16

Poe was anxious. He stood by your locker, waiting for you to get out of math class. He kept muttering to himself, “You can do this. She’s your best friend. You got this, Poe. You got this.” as soon as the bell rang, he tensed. It was now or never. 

He stared at his shoes, his old beaten up Converse, waiting for your arrival. He tried not to let his nerves get the best of him. He’s known you for his whole life. He shouldn’t be afraid, he shouldn’t-”Whatcha starin’ at?” 

His head slowly raised and his brown eyes met your Y/E/C eyes. He smiled, “Nothin’. So, uh, I have something to tell you.”

“What’s up?” you asked as you switched your math book for your English book. You closed your locker and looked at Poe expectantly.

Poe gave a deep breath, “I like you. A-A lot. L-Like more than a best friend kind of like.”

A smile formed on your face, “Really?”

“Well, uh, yeah. I mean, you’re smart, funny, beautiful, fun. What’s not to like?”

You blushed, “I like you too.”

“R-Really? Like how I like you like me?”

You laughed, “Yeah, Poe.” You leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, “Now let’s get to class, yeah?” you slipped your hand into his. 

Poe looked down at your intertwined hands with a big smile on his face, “Yeah. Okay.”

Age 18

You had Poe had graduated high school. Despite it being a joyous occasion, both of you were saddened. Poe had be recruited to the Air Force. Within a week, he’ll be shipped off to training. So you two spent as much time as you could together.

He took you out on dates, he slept over your house, you two went on a day trip out of town, and Poe had gotten you a puppy.

“He’ll keep you company while I’m away. Right, Beebs?” the little corgi-shiba inu mix wagged its tail as Poe pet him, “Oh!” Poe pulled out the necklace he always wore: his mother’s ring hanging from a metal chain, “Keep this safe for me, yeah?”

You gave him a sad smile, “Okay,” you said sheepishly.

“I’ll think of you every single day. I’ll try to write as much as I can. But you have to promise me something, sweetheart.”

“What?”

“Don’t push everyone away. Don’t isolate yourself. This is your summer before you go to college. Don’t waste it crying over me.”

You began to sniffle, trying not to let the tears fall, “I’m gonna miss you so much,” you whimpered.

“I know, baby.” Poe kissed your cheek, “I know.” then he hugged you. He held onto you as long as you needed him to.

Age 21

You were typing away on your computer when you received a Skype call from Poe. You immediately answered it, “Poe?”

The grainy image of him appeared. He waved, “Hello, my love. Whatcha doin’?”

“Working on my novel.”

He nodded, “Ah yes. Our love story.”

“It’s not our love story! It’s Oscar and Angela’s love story!”

“Uh huh, which is based off of our love story, which technically means you’re writing about us. You even used our own descriptions for the characters!”

You looked at him surprised, “You actually read some of it?”

Poe scoffed, “Of course I did, baby! And you’re not subtle at all about the parallels between our story and theirs.”

You chuckled, “There are some differences...”

“Oh yeah, like how Oscar is taller and has more abs? You tryna tell me something, baby?”

You laughed, “No! You’re fine just the way you are.”

“Uh huh. Suuuure.” You both giggled, “Anyway, I got permission to visit next month.”

Your eyes lightened up, “Really?!”

Poe nodded, “Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see you, kiss you, hug you, fu-”

“POE!”

He giggled, “I’m kidding! Maybe...not really. Anyway, let’s see our lil fur baby!”

You called Beebs over to you and lifted him to your camera, “He’s doing well!”

Poe leaned closer to the screen, “He’s gotten fatter!”

“But he always whines when I don’t give him enough food! I feel bad!”

“You’re making our baby fat, Y/N!”

“Okay! I’m sorry! I’ll take him out more to work it off.”

“Yes. Sounds good.”

You sighed, “Well, I better get this chapter finished up. Talk to you later?”

“Of course. Bye, sweetheart. I love you bunches!”

“Bye, babe! I love you bunches more!”

Age 26

You and Poe socialized with your family. It was your dad’s birthday and your mom threw a barbeque for him. You stood next to Poe as you spoke with your neighbor and long-time friend, Rose. Meanwhile, Poe talked to long-time friend and Air Force pal, Finn, while his arm was around your waist. 

It felt so good to have Poe back, even for a little bit. As time passed, you’d gotten used to his temporary stays. Despite that, you two had gotten an apartment together. Something that was your own. It was a big step for the both of you, but it was a long time coming. As was this.

“Everyone! May I have your attention please?” Poe called out. 

You looked at Poe confusedly, “What’s going on?” Everyone circled around you as Poe pulled you closer to him. 

“Y/N, when I was four years old, Mrs. Organa, our preschool teacher, asked us what we wanted to do when he grow up.”

“Oh my God.” you held your hands to your mouth, already knowing what was about to happen.

Poe chuckled, “Don’t get ahead of me here, sweetheart!” He cleared his throat, “My answer to that question was that I wanted to marry you. And this is me keeping my word.” He pulled out a ring and knelt down on one knee, “Y/N L/N, you’re my best friend, my soulmate. In front of our closest friends and family, I’m here declaring my never ending love for you. Will you do me the honors of becoming my wife?”

With teary eyes you nodded, “Yes!” 

Poe took your left hand and slid the ring onto your finger. He then gave you a kissed and picked you up, spinning you around as everyone cheered.

Age 30

You were wringing your hands together as you paced back and forth in the hall. Rose, Phasma, Kaydel, Jess, and Rey watched you.

“Why are you nervous? You’re marrying the love of your life?” Rey asked.

“Oh, I’m not nervous about marrying Poe. Fuck yeah I wanna marry him! I just don’t wanna trip down the aisle or stutter my vows. You know how I am with speaking in public.”

Rose shrugged, “Don’t think of it as talking in front of a couple hundred people. Just think of it as talking to Poe. Making your promise to him and declaring your undying love and all that lovey dovey stuff,” Rose said. The other women agreeing with her. 

Your dad approached you, “You ready?”

You sighed, “Yup. Let’s do this!” 

Meanwhile...

“Oh God. What if I stutter? I don’t wanna sound stupid!” Poe whispered anxiously to Finn, his best man.

Finn shook his head, “Man, calm down. Whether you stutter or not, Y/N will still love you.” 

The doors to the venue opened and in walked the flower girl, ring bearer, and bridesmaids. They all joined Poe and Finn at the end of the aisle. Then the wedding march began to play and everyone stood. Poe gave a deep breath and then turned towards you. He was floored. 

You looked absolutely stunning in your wedding dress. You looked angelic even! You joined Poe at the end of the aisle. You chuckled as he wiped his eyes.

“Sorry, you’re just so beautiful.”

“Thank you and you look even more handsome.” you nodded to his formal Air Force uniform. You loved when he was in uniform.

Poe chuckled, “Thanks, babe. So, together forever?” he asked, intertwining your fingers with his.

You smiled at him, “Together forever.”

“Us against the world, baby.” he whispered as he faced the officiant.

KBTBB Fankids ! !

@2bedroom-baddestbidderlove @catchthespade​

Tsubasa Kisaki  (Ota Kisaki x MC Kisaki )

Some of Tsubasa’s friends call him TK. He likes it because not only does it has his initials, but it resembles his mother’s name. 

He likes to tease his friends, but at the end of the day, he has his mother’s kindness. He’s easily able to pick up if there’s something off with one of them. 

Tsubasa is named after his parents’ sentiment for the bluebird. As a kid, he often stared at the bluebird painting for hours. 

Tsubasa occasionally feels like he’s never going to be good enough. He rarely mentions it however, as he’ll only make jokes about it with closer friends. 

He doesn’t feel like he can live up to the family name. He has an interest in jewelry craftsmanship, but he doesn’t think it could compare to his father. 

Tsubasa often calls his friends nicknames! (Ex: Akiko / Sunshine,  Daisuke / Tsundere, etc.) 

Tsubasa has a really good relationship with his parents! He’s equally close with both. He’ll sometimes hide stuff from them though, as he doesn’t want them to worry. 

Daisuke Baba 

Daisuke, unlike his father, is actually quite awkward around people. He has a tendency to come off too harsh, even if he means well.  

He is pretty fun to tease once you get to know him. He has a tendency to overthink things. 

Daisuke is superstitious. He believes in fortune telling, bad luck and black cats, opening umbrellas indoors, etc. 

Daisuke took on his father’s job as a thief. While Baba wanted Daisuke to have a normal life, Daisuke insisted that he should. Not only does he appreciate the cause, but he gets a thrill out the heists. 

Daisuke tries not to stand out too much, considering his job as a thief. He’ll wear clothing that won’t stand out, like a regular hoodie or jacket. 

Daisuke hates having to ask people for help. He’s stubborn through and through. 

Akiko Kishi 

Unlike the other kids, Akiko was raised in a normal house hold setting. She didn’t grow up with extravagant riches or expensive clothing. 

When she was younger, she often got teased for hanging out with the others. She was told she was “out of place.” Her friends would always defend her, but it still get to her. 

Akiko worries about others much more than she worries than herself. She’s used to taking on the household chores, as Mamoru isn’t great at them. 

Akiko is super into baking. When she grows up, she wants to have her own café. 

She sees herself as below her friends. She also feels uncomfortable going with them to fancier events, as she feels like she isn’t worthy of being brought along. She usually just politely declines whenever they go out to somewhere like that. 

Akiko has the worst sleeping schedule. It results in her taking naps often. She’s fallen asleep at her friends’ houses on multiple occasions. 

Kyosuke A. Hishikura (Shuichi Hishikura x Hikaru Aihara) 

Kyosuke is more of the quiet type. He has trouble conveying what he wants to say in words, so he figures if he doesn’t speak, he can’t embarrass himself. He’s pretty soft spoken. 

Kyosuke’s middle name is Aihara! 

He has a huge interest in technology. Whenever one of the gang has trouble with one of their devices, he’ll figure it out right away. He doesn’t know what exactly he wants to be, but he at least wants a career that involves technology to some degree.

Occasionally, in public, Kyosuke will wear darker clothing (such as a leather jacket). Most of the time however, he’ll just wear lighter clothing. 

Kyosuke’s a lot more confident when he’s texting. He’s a lot better at writing than he is at speaking. He’s been known to flame the gang in a chat. 

Kyosuke has a ton of plants in his room. At first it was just curiosity about Shuichi’s cactus on his desk, but he soon developed a love for plants on his own. 

He’s not very expressive, but when you make him happy, he has the sweetest smile. He also has a loud laugh, which he’s embarrassed about. 

Saori Ichinomiya 

Growing up, Eisuke spoiled Saori a lot! He couldn’t help but give everything to his precious daughter. 

Saori is cocky and a natural born leader, but she knows when not to cross the line. She’s only rude to people who deserve it. 

She’s admittedly a bit hesitant about developing friendships with others. There have been people who have only befriended her for her looks / riches in the past. She trusts the gang wholeheartedly though, considering she’s known them since childhood. 

Saori dislikes the parties she has to go to with a passion, but she doesn’t tell Eisuke that. She feels like he’s already done so much for her, so she can’t object him. 

Saori developed a taste for darker colors. She’ll usually wear purple, black, or dark blue dresses. Her nails are always painted a royal purple! 

During parties, if she can, she’ll usually text the others about how much she wants to go home. It’s her only place to vent about it. After the party is over, she’ll collapse in her bed. She’s used all her energy for the day. 

Hideshi Oh 

Despite being the future leader of the Ice Dragons, a lot of people complain that he’s too carefree to run the position. While Hideshi is pretty lax, it isn’t because he doesn’t care about the organization. He just simply wants to keep his work life and his private life separate. 

When Hideshi wants to, he can do a complete 180 regarding how focused he is. 

He’s super into detective / mystery shows. He’s not too big into reading them himself. However, his dad read detective books to him when he was a kid, which he loved. 

He always has a gun with him at hand, much like Soryu. However, he pulls it out it out for more comedic purposes. 

Hideshi likes joke flirting with his friends. He also loves being playful with them. He’ll often spin one of them around by surprise or pick them up from behind. Either way, it’s a surprise each time.

Hideshi isn’t a morning purpose in the slightest. He gets really cranky if he has to wake up early. 

Kyoko Oh 

Unlike Hideshi, Kyoko comes off as pretty cold. She has the same glare as her father! 

She’s super awkward when it comes to talking to people. She gets anxious in social experiments. However, that oddly goes away when she’s in a fight.

She inherited a lot of her father’s awkward traits. She’s horrible at cooking, she has a resting glare, and she’s horrible at talking with cute girls.

Aside from being in the mafia, she’s a bit of a goody-goody. She’s all about following the rules and being honest. She never breaks a promise.

Kyoko will have her hair tied about half of the time. The other, she’ll just have it down. It’s pretty short; as it will be a regular bobcut.

She really likes myths and fairytales!! Her favorite are chinese and japanese myths, and western fairytales. She can get super passionate when talking about them. 

Charlotte Foster

Charlotte, unlike her father and aunt, isn’t as spacey. However, she still has the same love of collar bones that her father does. She also carries around anatomy text books. She tries to hide this at all cost though, as she doesn’t want to freak people out. 

Luke calls Charlotte princess! He treats her like one as well. Charlotte is incredibly close to her father and gets upset when people insult him. 

Charlotte loves animals. She owns two cats and one parrot! 

She has trouble deciding whether she wants to become a vet or if she wants to become a doctor. 

She really loves tea and sweets. She’s fine with eating, but she just forgets to on occasion. (She’s a vegetarian!) 

Charlotte wasn’t with the gang from childhood. She was born in Japan, but spent a good couple of years abroad. She wanted to befriend them, but she was worried she was interfering with their friendship. Of course, once they got to know her, they accepted her whole heartedly. 

[danisnotofire]

Squip Squad at hogwarts. Jere is slytherin (ambitious, wants to be more chill ;))) Michael is literally the textbook definition of hufflepuff (loyal to a fault, even when jere is maybe not the most considerate dude) Squip is a slytherin (stereotypical "bad guy is a slytherin" but I like the idea of the squip being an older kid that Jeremy looks up to, and the Squip showing Jeremy some dark magic that maybe He Shouldn't Be Doing. And jere just goes along with it bc "hes so cool, Michael") -🌳 1/?

okay. i have,,,, so much to say about this. here’s everything i have on the Hogwarts!BMC au (and i have,,,, a lot) (all of this @adrienagrestte and i worked on together so also please go check out her fic on ao3 that is solely about a hogwarts au) 

(i’m a gryffindor lmao and my patronus is a capuchin monkey) (i’m aware what joe tracz has said about everyone being in hufflepuff but LMAO that’s wrong so here’s an essay on this au) (i also disagree with u on some of ur house choices, but I HAVE REASONING SO HEAR ME OUT!!!)

FIRST OFF, THEIR HOUSES, separated by house: 

slytherin:

jeremy.

 this is easy because jeremy values his morals above all else and will do anything to achieve his goals (i.e, taking the squip, hurting his friend, this is clear i dont think anyone will fight me no this)

chloe 

this is also easy

jenna 

she does what she’s gotta do. i know you said she has a thirst for knowledge, but i don’t think that was her reasoning behind the gossip?? i think she liked having that power over people. i think she enjoyed making people care about her. did you see her down that squip without any questions?? c’mon son

gryffindor

michael 

I KNOW, I KNOW, CONTROVERSIAL- BUT THINK ABOUT IT. HE HOLDS HIS FRIENDS IN SUCH HIGH ESTEEM BUT IS NOT AFRAID TO CALL THEM OUT ON THEIR BULLSHIT. and i know you say he’s loyal, but remember, michael was deadass burning the shit jeremy had given him over the years. michael was just as ready to throw in the towel and accept the bitter end. it was mr heere who convinced him to get over himself.

he also saves the day in the end, (not because hufflepuffs can’t, but because gyrffindors value courage and bravery. there is nothing more brave than 1) staying true to who you are in the face of adversity (ie, the constant bullying) and 2) going out of your way to save the day even for someone who doesn’t necessarily deserve it (ie, jeremy after what he did to michael). so, gryffindor michael. hufflepuff michael is amazing too. but. gryffindor michael.). 

HOWEVER. i hc that everyone always thinks michael would be a hufflepuff. you know how everyone thinks neville should’ve been a hufflepuff?? kinda like that. michael isnt a hufflepuff though, just a gryffindor who has discovered pot. 

also…. slytherin/gryffindor best friendship??? sign me tf up

jake 

he does everything all the time. he does his very best to make sure everybody sees him as the golden boy with no problems. (except my son,,,, definitely has his problems) 

ravenclaw

christine

“jeremy…. having someone make your choices FOR you?? that sounds TERRIBLE” 

her reaction to having the squip make her into her dreams is like “what’s wrong me now??” which is very rational and in tune with herself. i think christine also adores the idea of POSSIBILITY and LEARNING and exploring all these different paths and that’s very ravenclaw. curiosity and creativity. 

hufflepuff

rich

“the ladies are gonna love the REAL richard goranski” just like. c’mon. he apologized for hurting jeremy while under the squip.

brooke

“I mean, I was never into him because he was like, super old and kinda mean to women, but I know you liked him, so” 

“you’re so much better off without madeleine, jeremy” 

“i like gay people!” 

PATRONUSES (patroni?) 

jeremy’s is a hummingbird. small and beautiful and delicate, but also pretty badass and unique (the only bird to hover?? definitely jeremy. also?? they are so fast. jeremy is so anxious. you know that bird moves as fast as jeremy’s brain works) 

christine: dolphin

michael’s patronus is a badger. this further plays into the “everybody thinks michael is a hufflepuff” hc. michael thinks it’s fucking hilarious. 

rich’s patronus is a groundhog. 

jake: koala

brooke: a white rabbit 

chloe: a canadian goose. at first, people make fun of her for it, and she just raises and eyebrow and drags a finger down her wand and is like “are you making fun of my goose?” and the person freezes and is like “n-no no.” and she smirks and is like “good. i wouldn’t want to say anything about your non-corporeal mess you call a patronus.”

jenna: seahorse. 

HOW IT ALL GOES DOWN

michael and christine are both animaguses (animagi??). michael’s animagus is a big fluffy dog. christine’s is a stoat. this isn’t really relevant to the plot lol but i love the idea of them being animagi together. 

mr heere is a muggle, but he supports jeremy as a wizard the best he can. he just doesn’t really understand it. jeremy feels kind of awkward and isolated from his dad bc of it. he lives in the suburbs, so he never really knew anybody magical.

this also plays into jeremy’s insecurity and anxiety. he doesn’t feel accepted by either community and struggles really really deeply with it

michael grew up in a city. his mom is super into the magic community, so michael went to a muggle school but had been growing up around magic. his mom and her friends would always teach him tiny spells, so by the time he gets his letter he knows a thing or two about a thing or two.

he and jeremy meet briefly while jeremy is buying school supplies. his dad has no idea what’s up, so jeremy’s mostly on his own to buy his books and things. michael runs into him on the street while jeremy is looking terrified, and he drags him to his favorite food place and splits a snack with him. michael’s mom eventually finds them, and after jeremy explains his situation she takes him and his dad and leads them around, helping them figure things out. 

michael’s chattering all the way, because he’s really met anyone like jeremy before. “i’ve got a lot of muggle friends, you know, and your culture isn’t exactly a walk in the park to figure out. i was no better when i first moved to the city. honestly. self-checkouts?? coinstar machines?? those are a whole different kind of magic.” 

they meet for real on the train to hogwarts. jeremy is looking lost again, so michael latches onto him bc he’s lonely and he misses his mom and jeremy is Familiar and Nice. jeremy buys candy. michael shows jeremy the bits of magic he’s picked up over the years. 

michael’s heard about hogwarts from his mom, from his aunts and uncles and his mom’s friends. but jeremy…. whoo boy. jeremy gets off the train and stands slack-jawed. it’s beautiful. it’s magic. his whole body sings, and for the first time he feels like he maybe sort of belongs to something.

michael takes like, twenty minutes to sort. everyone is staring at him. he is fuckin SWEATING. the hat CANNOT decide between hufflepuff or gryffindor. michael spends ten minutes arguing at it for taking so long in his head, so his stubbornness and forced indifference but simultaneous constant questioning is what ultimately lands him in gryffindor. 

jeremy and michael wear each other’s clothes all. the. time. they’re always getting point deductions bc one of them accidentally wears the wrong tie or something. this happens even before they start dating. it actually takes people a little while to figure out they’ve started dating bc they already always look like two fucking messes wearing each others clothes, and they already spend as much time together as possible. 

michael is one of the first people to stop eating with his house. of course, this is probably a year or two into hogwarts, after he’s better friends with jeremy, but he’s still pretty young. it kinda hits him one day, that jeremy’s the only one he really wants to be eating with. so he takes his plate and walks across the hall and plops himself at the slytherin table. 

jeremy’s like “what are you doing here you’re gonna get in trouble??” michael just takes bite of his sandwich and shrugs and is like “there’s no rule against eating without your table, jeremy.” 

people make fun of him for this move, though. but he doesn’t get up. jeremy really really likes the fact that michael chooses to sit with him even though it kinda socially ostracizes him, but he’ll never say how much it means to him. he just scoots a little closer, laughs a little louder. 

michael’s not really the best wizard school-wise, but he tries really hard. obviously he passes and all, but he doesn’t really think he’ll ever be great or anything. he’s made his peace with this. jeremy has a similar skill-level, but he’s never really content with it.

because they can’t really hang out in each other’s common rooms, they find other places to chill. curled up in the massive stone windowsills. studying in corners of the library. laying out on the great lawn. empty classrooms. study rooms. the back booths in various places at hogsmeade. it’s actually how they stumble upon the room of requirement. 

these hidden places sure do come in handy later, when they do start dating (wink wink) 

as much as i love older student slytherin squip, (because, god. an older, cooler, better student finally noticing jeremy and promising to help him get everything he’s ever wanted? also, a physical form for michael to punch after this is all over? sign me UP). 

but also, I SEE YOU SQUIP!SLYTHERIN AND RAISE YOU- TOM RIDDLE’S DIARY SQUIP. THINK ABOUT IT: jeremy finds this thing that seems to help him and he accepts it eagerly. (i’m also gonna toss in some elements of the half-blood prince into this lol) 

jeremy shows it to michael, and he’s super excited. “look! it talks back!! it has a name, it’s called the squip!” “it can finally teach me how to be a good and cool wizard, michael!” 

maybe some smaller part of him whispers... it’ll show me how to be someone. someone people care about, instead of split between so many different things. 

it’s cool at first. but once the whole idea of ‘WHOA AN INANIMATE OBJECT WITH SENTIENCE’ wears off, michael is unsure. he’s more in tune with how his magic feels when its exposed to different things, and he doesn’t like the way the diary feels when he writes in it. something about it’s slick and slimy response feels wrong. he tells jeremy this, but jeremy shrugs him off. “if it was wrong, why would it be at hogwarts?”

except then slowly starts showing him things. asking him to do things that he wouldn’t normally do. but…. it’s helped him before. why would it hurt him?? magic can’t be evil, right? 

but jeremy is stubborn, and the diary’s telling him that michael’s just jealous. jealous that even though he grew up with magic he’s never been very good at it, school-wise. jealous that jeremy’s finally becoming something more. 

jeremy listens reluctantly, but it eventually works his way under his skin. and so he stops entertaining what michael’s saying, starts blowing him off. until they’re in the dining hall one day. 

michael’s being slightly more enthusiastic about the squip today. a little louder. people are staring, giving them strange looks. jeremy’s burning with embarassment, but michael just keeps getting more animated. 

finally, he snaps. jeremy rockets up, his knuckles white as he grips the diary. “shut up,” he hisses. 

michael falls silent. “dude, what?”

“you’re wrong,” jeremy insists, packing up his stuff to leave. more people are staring now, he can feel their eyes on his skin. “you’re just jealous. because i can finally be something i’ve always wanted, and you don’t even know what you want at all.”  

“what?” michael says, incredulous, ignoring the way his mind whispers i want you. “jeremy, that’s not true! this thing is evil. you have to get rid of it before you get hurt.”

jeremy sneers. “see? you won’t shut up about it because you wish you had it. guess what! you don’t.”

jeremy gets up and pushes out of the dining hall. 

michael scrambles after him, but it’s too late. jeremy’s gone. 

the diary starts teaches him things. illegal incantations that jeremy’s only ever heard in his history of magic classes. spells with vague descriptions (“to be used on enemies”). darker magic. magic that makes jeremy uncomfortable but he does it anyway, because he’s already made his choice. 

the worst part is that jeremy gets better at magic. he can conjure a full patronus before anybody else in his grade can even get the fake wispy smoke. for the first time, jeremy is good at something. actually, he’s better than good- he’s the best. he’s cool. 

meanwhile, michael’s left behind to watch. and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t get jeremy away from that diary. it’s like he can’t even see him, anymore. 

cue michael moping until christine comes along and asks him what’s going on with jeremy. now, all of michael’s/jeremy’s “study spots” are being put to another use entirely, that is, How To Defeat A Sentient Book That Is Also The World’s Evilest Asshole. 

and thus ensues Michael and Christine working together in order to save jeremy, who’s being used by the squip to doing something very dangerous and horrifyingly awful. maybe cue their animagi being used in some crazy way.

(god you could really get as angsty or as action-y as you wanted. would jeremy use any of those evil spells? if so, on who?? would the squip convince him to use sectumsempra on michael, only to have rich or someone come in and save him because maybe rich went through the same thing? or would it be more banter-y? newfound friends christine and michael trying to save someone they both care about? sneaking through hogwarts grounds in their animagus forms? chloe and jake being the ghosts in the hogsmeade shed because that’s where they would sneak off to hook up and everyone just heard them? SO MANY OPTIONS, TREENON!!!)

cue the basilisk fang and jeremy passing out on top of michael, and cue reunion scene in the hospital wing. 

i dont wanna actually write the fic, but lol would u look at that, i basically did anyway. 

ANYWAY YES I LOVE AND SUPPORT A BMC HOGWARTS AU!!!!! PLS TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS!!!
