local author is absolutely obsessed with raph and leo's relationship following the end of season 2 and is making it everyone's problem, more at 11!
#theyre so fascinating to me#let me pull up my notes on them so i can ramble like a crazy person in the tags#heres the thing. raph is the eldest sibling. its his job to keep his little brothers safe#and hes been the leader their whole lives. like they were clearly allowed to do whatever they wanted with little parental supervision#so it would be the most obvious and natural choice for the oldest to be the leader#and like clearly the others are on board (at least during canon events)#and leos the most supportive of raph and his leadership out of all of them. constantly hyping him up. even calling on mind raph#because leo trusts raphs judgement (more than his own id go so far as to say tbh)#(i genuinely believe that leo has always looked up to raph since they were very young.)#so i think leo would see him being promoted to leader as undeserved. unearned. it belongs to raph because hes always been there for them.#(~impostor syndrome babey)#meanwhile raph is struggling to find where he belongs on the team now that hes not the leader#i think raph would have liked to have someone guide him through being leader because its HARD!!! ur choices can and WILL have consequences#so hes trying to be that for leo. he tries to be there the way no one was there so that leo doesnt struggle the way raph did#and also its a good way to ignore having to process how HE feels about the demotion#bc it was so unexpected there would obviously be feelings of guilt and self-doubt and 'was i good enough'#and obviously raph isnt going to tell his brothers how hes struggling to find his place on the team now#because hes the oldest and the oldest sibling is the shoulder to lean on. not there to dump their insecurities on their little siblings#the problem is that leo isnt raph#and raph is so focused on helping leo and not dealing with his own stuff that he forgets that.#i think raph sees himself as the leader of the team and the smashy guy. the powerhouse#(i say that with the belief that raph is the HEART of the team btw. only he doesnt know that lmao)#leo himself is also projecting a little onto raph. like i really do believe he thinks raph hates him for 'stealing' his role#(its bullshit but like. brains are dumb sometimes so)#leo seeks out validation but ESPECIALLY raph's validation (like donnie tbh)#to leo a leader is someone you can count on. and he doesnt see himself as reliable#rottmnt#ataimw#rottmnt raph#rottmnt leo

STOP KOSA(and cie) MASTERPOST 2024
Both KOSA and the Earn It Act bill are dangerous for the future of the Internet.
In a nutshell, KOSA would allow states to sue any websites that host content deemed “harmful” to minors. With such a vague wording, its expected that any NSFW stuff, educational ressources or LGBT content, will immediately be taken down if govts dont approve of it.
Plus, it will be made mandatory to use IDs to confirm your age when going online, to so called “protect kids” but all that will cause is a huge potential data breach and endanger more kids.
As for the Earn It Act bill, it would allow the governement to spy and filter out anything they dont like in private dms for any users,as well as blowing a hole into Section 230 : The thing that prevent websites from being directly liable in case a user post something illegal,instead of the user being punished directly. The comics I made about KOSA and Earn It Act are old but sadly still relevant. All the info you need are in this post.
•KOSA Comic •Earn It Act comic
•KOSA UPDATE + CALL SCRIPT (Made the April 11, 2024)
•When contacting your reps, you may also add that they should support better bills that will make kids (and anyone) safer by focusing on data privacy legislations instead of KOSA • Contact Congress through here https://www.stopkosa.com/ • House Energy and Commerce are the best to contact for the hearing of 17th April 2024 https://energycommerce.house.gov/representatives (the link doesnt work properly so you'll need to head to the site and select "Members" to find them)
• Find all your Congresspeople here http://badinternetbills.com/
• Find your House representative here https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative •Never forget to make tweets, posts, tiktoks, or use any social media you can think of to talk about this : Spreading the word will be crucial.

Your art so surreal, did you take inspiration from African masks it’s amazing. You have probably gotten this question before but what’s your process and how do plan these beautiful pieces out. I am a beginner artist and would like some advice on how start doing digital painting.
thank you for bringing me back from the dead with your kindness, (i was so sad today ughhhh i think watching vampire diaries starting to affect me hjkhjk), i really, really deeply thankful that you spend your time to write something so sweet (also sorry it took me literally ages to reply phphp THE USUAL)
yeah, in buryatia shamanism like the big thing, so when i went to search what's out there in the masks department - google's mess of the results for once was helpful and showed this massive collection of beautiful african masks. the one that was inspo for tiisha lived in my head rent free for weeks before the character was even born phphph now i cant even imagine her without it
(here is little tiisha for you before i'll proceed to be not helpfull phphphph)
oof advices are not my strong side , like..........my process mostly is just sleep through the whole thing i guess..........................i very rarely do sketches, i hate study anatomy and perspective, drawing cubes makes me physically sick etc etc my approach to drawing were "fuck around and find out", always about chill and fun and barely ever about learning. imho thats why im so shitty at drawing simple things but not bad at coloring. so yeah, my biggest advice always and forever will be - be gentle to yourself, please
digital or traditional or whatever else is out there, dont forget you make it for yourself and for yourself only okay? it supposed to be fun, not sad tiring and competitive
advices for digital specifically tho - very objective, apply with caution
learn all the keyboard shortcuts, ideally to press them without thinking
explore more instruments than just brush. it will be tedious and sometimes feel like a chore so mb pick one victim once a month and browse youtube for a stuff like SECRET ULTIMATE TIPS ABOUT MAGIC WAND TOOL THAT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE (they indeed will save your life)
check if your drawing program has artboards - turning it on will give you more freedom over canvas positioning and your refs will always be there and not in the separate window
idk about others but using auto tone, auto contrast and auto color often gives me well needed perspective on what im doing
in 99% cases be sure that you can reanimate even the most messiest artpiece you ever did. working in digital gives you the chance to mess with shapes, colors and perspective at any time so if you dont want to gave up on something - you absolutely didnt have to
from time to time while you are still learning - go out there in the wilds and search for the new brushes. tweak with them if you want. i have like ~500 and i use 6 max, but those 6 i found by at some point trying to draw with all of the 500
MADE. BACK UPS. and i mean not like save layers just in case before merging them (tho that's too will help) no, i mean click SAVE AS once an hour and create A NEW FILE. PLEASE. i lost so much stuff to sudden power outage. its never pretty and you loosing will to work for days
watch at least one tutorial about the whole rgb srgb and cmyk thing - i did, understood not a thing, but at least im not playing dora the explorer with my colors after the export now
uh idk think thats it? tried to think about those that id hope i knew when i started so hopefully something will help
have fun with your drawings!!

its like 2 am and im very tired so im sorry if this doesnt make sense i just want to talk about why i love scott summers.
•one of the reasons i love scott summers is because he is a flawed character who is quite doomed by the enviroment he was raised in. he makes mistakes a lot and learns that his actions have life altering consequences, later on he actually works on them.
for an example, in x-factor; scott left madelyne with their son nathan because the original 5 of the xmen were getting back together.(also the news of jean grey being alive) later on, Nathan is in the hands of mr sinister, later gets infected with that stuff etc.(idk how to explain sorry) and scott becomes aware that maybr if he didnt leave, maybe if he stayed he wouldnt lose the son he always wished to have. he is consumed by his guilt and grief. at least to my interpretion.
this is why i dont like actively calling scott a deadbeat dad because in the end he did come back for nathan.(he shouldnt have left in the first place i get that too) but calling him a deadbeat dad in my opinion just ignores his character as a whole.
or in xmen animated series, where in like the first episodes he has to leave morph. wolverine is angry at him justifibly(but its also not scotts fault(and morpherine canon guys)) scott does his best later on to be more careful to lead the team in missions, trying his best to not leave anyone behind etc its not very underlined that he does this but you can see it when you look for it.
•and not only that, i also find him very relatable and think his anger, frustration against the world very relatable. i also agree with his ideals.
cyclops ideals are a perfect balance between magneto's and professor x's ideals from my observation.
im gonna speak in xmen 97 terms because explaining my opinions is easier that way
professor x(as much as i admire what he stands for) is trying to help mutants but he is working towards tolerance, not acceptance. and like said in xmen 97, tolerance really is extinctence(i think this is how you spell it?? idk sorry english is not my mother tongue)
magneto doesnt want acceptance nor tolerance he just doesnt want humans(because of the years of opression he has faced, leading him to fight back against id but be the opressor as the time passes because humans(yes mutants are humans too) are corrupt like that)so he is trying to cause war for mutant liberation but his actions are causing people to be prejudiced about other mutants and causing them to be more violent towards them. even in the apocalyptic future, camps are being made for mutants because magneto himself started a war.(i will talk about my views on magneto on an another post because he really is a very interesting character corrupt by his own cynicism)
however what scott is working towards is acceptance and he is aware that if he just stands quiet to all the violence towards mutants and just busts his ass to save humans, he is the same as professor x, working towards tolerance. so now he uses violence to make people aware that mutants are going to live with them if they like it or not because he knows sometimes to be heard you have to scream. but his ideals towards mankind never changes because he doesnt hate them he hates their ignorance.
i do believe that since his mental health was declining(becasue of the years of opression and brutality he and his people have faced)he has done some things that were definitely problematic but this brings me to my first point of him facing the consequences of his actions.
overall, i do believe cyclops was right, i just think he also went about it wrong in some ways and that led to people not understanding him.
i find his backstory very interesting too(even though in changes but to me the orphanage later jack winters and professor x is the true one) i think about him being gaslit into forgetting his own little brother but him never faltering once and believing his own mind instead of someones tongue,his time with jack winters
(which i believe the interpretion of it being abusive because of the signs etc and how more impactful it makes that the first mutant he had ever actually known had hurt him instead of helping his own kind. it a parallel to our own world where even the opressors have managed to turn us against eachother even though we are all opressed by them, shunned because we are minorities)
later on him coming to live with professor and still being in a place where he is being used(i believe with my whole heart that professor saw scott as his son and sometimes forgot that they didnt share the same flesh but that doesnt change that professor did use scott, even without meaning any harm because professor in the end wants the best for all mutant kind but forgets to think about them as individuals)
•anyway to cut it short:
> i love scott summers because he makes mistakes AND learns from them, faces the consequences. and because of his mentality and the things he faced throughout his life that led him to making those mistakes.
there are lots of main characters in media who never really gets called out of the things they do(for example, annabeth from pjo with how she treated tyson, i love annabeth but it was just awful, also piper and her overall character(i chalk it up to rick riordan writing her badly because she is sorry to anyone who loves her))
>i love his upbringing and reading about it in any shape or form
>another reason why i love scott is because hes so bbg and miserable in a way i want to hug him so hard but also strangle him yknow
>>>>>TELL ME YOUR OPINIONS OF SCOTT SUMMERS WITHOUT BEING RUDE PLEASE!! if there is anything you dont agree with, you can always write it with the condition of being kind and not rude!!<<<<<<

Gaps
Platonic Yandere Batfam x Mentally Ill/Forgetful Reader
Warning: This work is a yandere work, hopefully part of a series, as as such will contain themes of manipulation, abuse, violence and obsession. Stay safe, and enjoy!!
Your ID was missing.
You stand in the middle of your room, every drawer open and rifled through. You had gone through every bag, every purse, every wallet it might have been it. You had moved the bed, moved the couch, moved every piece of furniture that it might have fallen behind. Nothing had worked.
“Fuck..” You groan, sinking onto your couch. “Fuck, this cannot be happening. I’m so screwed.”
You had a doctors appointment coming up, to get your anxiety meds refilled, and you were already starting to run low. You had been hoping to manage, but with your ID missing and no way to find it, you were shit out of luck.
Your phone rings, and you glance down, staring at the caller ID. It was Dick.
“Hey.” You greet, trying to force the appropriate amount of cheer into your voice. The older man was nice, pleasant to talk to and attentive, but he had the irritating habit of picking up on your moods eerily well, even over the phone. That would lead to him fussing, and while you appreciated the thought, you were an adult and would prefer to be treated like one.
“Hey! Everything alright? You sound stressed, kiddo.”
“I’m fine.” You huff, putting the phone on speaker. You, for whatever reason, despised things touching your face, even phones.
“Uh-huh. What’s going on? You’re never this quiet.” Dick presses, and you press your lips together into a fine line, starting to put up your stuff. It wouldn’t do to have someone come over when you had torn apart your apartment. You may live in Gotham, but you refused to have your apartment look half as bad on the inside as it did on the outside.
“My ID is missing. Don’t have a damn clue what happened to it.” You hear Dick suck in a breath, and you curl your shoulders in, wanting to sink into the floor and die. Dick was always so nice that any time you upset or disappointed him, it was like a punch to the gut.
“(Y/N)…” He starts, and your shoulders twitch up higher, and you dig your nails into your forearms.
“I know! I can’t find it anywhere, but I know it’s in the apartment because I literally had it last night.”
“Hey, it’s alright. Me and Dami will come over, we’ll help you look, alright.”
You groan. You didn’t want them coming over, especially not both him and Damian, and seeing you so freaked out and panicked. While Damian was, you knew, extremely mature for being 14, he was also judgemental as all hell and had the very annoying habit of implying that you shouldn’t be living alone. Which wouldn’t bother you all that much, he was a kid, but Dick seemed to be of the same opinion and it drive you absolutely insane some days.
“You guys don’t have to bother, really. I’ll find it, and if I don’t find it, I’ll set something up at the DMV to get a new one.”
“Just let us come over, (Y/N). Maybe we can help you find it.” Dick wasn’t asking now, and you huff, crossing your arms.
“Fine. Just let yourselves in when y’all get here, I guess.”
You hear Dick snicker, probably at your use of the word “y’all” and roll your eyes. For someone who was nearly a decade older than you, he sure had a childish sense of humor sometimes.
“Alright. We’ll see you than.” The phone beeps when he hangs up. You set it down, an ugly knot in your chest.
“Damn it.” You had been trying, so hard, to distance yourself from the Wayne family. They were nice enough, always willing to help even if they were always busy at some point or another, but they had the irritating habit of inserting themselves into anything you did. If you went out shopping, they were somehow there. Doctor’s appointment? They somehow met you outside the office. On a date? They were at the same restaurant. You weren’t sure if it was intentional or accidental but anytime you tried thinking about it you would nearly spiral so badly you had to stop.
“Fuck.” Your chest was tight, and you snarl, frustrated at the way your heart rate was starting to pick up and your hands were starting to shake. You knew, well and good, that the likelihood of it being anything nefarious was low, the Wayne’s were reknowned for being good people, from a multitude of backgrounds. That didn’t stop the way your mind latched onto the possibility though. You tried to ignore it. Your meds had been getting less and less effective, lately.
The doorbell rings. You get up off your couch, ignore the mess, and open the door.
“Hey.” Dick ruffles your hair, and you scowl. He doesn’t seem all that put off, but you suppose he wouldn’t with Jason and Damian as his brothers.
“Hey. You know I said to just let yourself in, right? I gave you a key for a reason.” This had been early on, in knowing the Wayne’s when you hadn’t realized that giving Dick a key meant surprise visits without a call and very little warning.
“Yeah, I know. I left it at the manor, though, I was using one of Bruce’s cars and don’t have my keys.” He explains, and steps inside, not even waiting for you to open the door further. Damian follows silently, and you mentally curse the fact the kid was 14 and already your height. He was going to be so damn tall, it was almost insulting.
“Cool. As you can see, I’ve been looking for it, and..” Your hand motions uselessly. Surprisingly, Dick nods, his face sympathetic. You had expected more scolding.
“Why don’t you just go and sit down, yeah? Me and Damian can search. Did you take your meds today? Set your alarm and everything?”
“I took my meds, Dick. All of them.”
“Including the Methylphenidate?”
“Dick, if I didn’t remember to take that, I wouldn’t remember to take anything else. I took all my meds today, and not only did I take my meds, I actually went to therapy this week instead of forgetting.”
“Good. You need it.” Damian hums, rooting through the couch cushion. You begin to get up to help him, and he sends you a sharp look. You sit back down.
“When do you need your meds refilled? Did you have it in the house?” Dick asks.
“It was in the house. And I need them refilled soon. I can probably try and stretch them out-“
“Don’t. We can get you your meds if we need to, just keep taking them on schedule.” Dick rebukes, and you cringe. You didn’t doubt they could, but you didn’t like feeling like a charity case
“Dick, y’all really don’t have to do that.”
“Relax.” He huffs, standing and squinting at the drawer angrily. “I wouldn’t offer if I didn’t mean it. ‘Sides, you’ve helped me out more than a few times.”
“Yeah, by covering a shift not by buying your psych meds. These are not at all the same.” You laugh. You and Dick had met working at the YMCA in Bludhaven, and when you had moved to Gotham due to the extraordinarily cheap rent, you both had stayed in contact.
“May as well be.” Dick shrugs. “You cooking anything tonight?”
“Was gonna put some meat out to thaw.” You admit, flushing. The judgemental look Damian sends you says more than enough.
“Why don’t you come on over to the Manor to eat? I know Alfred has missed you helping him wrangle everyone together.” Dick offers, and you want to protest. What about your ID, which he had offered to help find? Wasn’t it late at night?
“Sure.” You say instead, reaching for your keys even as Dick cheers, and Damian smiles.
You can’t shake the feeling something is wrong even as you close your front door, locking it behind you, and let Dick lead you to the car.

It had been a long day in the nation of marley. running a fruit stand wasn’t even close to one of the hardest thing that you could ever do, obviously. but, I would admit that was tiring staying out in the heat for as long as I did, maybe it would cool down in a few days. I was packing my shop up, as it was near the end of the day, when I hear the familiar voice of a mischievous young girl call out to me.
“____, you really gonna leave already without giving us a free sample?!?” I could already tell who it was. I turn around with a smile on my face and there I saw my favorite group of kids, gaby, looking all excited whilst, falco, zophia and udo stood behind her, like it was all her idea and she was the mastermind. which, I knew she usually was.
“well, you see gaby, I could.. but you guys forget that the point of running a market is…. to make money..”
“can’t do that if you little weasels come and ask for free stuff all of the time.” I laugh, quickly making my way towards gaby, putting her in a headlock. I proceeded to give her a few hard sisterly nudges on her head. “plus, I thought samples were one time things only.. dork.” I add my sarcastic remark “hey!!!” she attempts to squirm out of my grasp, she was a strong little thing, but she just couldn’t find a way out. I was very close with all of them ever since reiner went all no contact on us.. well I’d like to believe it’s “us” and not just me, but id just be delusional. he had always been away for long periods at a time, but even then he would try to stop by and at least try to have lunch, my mom cooked for him whenever he got back, she was very upset that he just stopped coming over. I would hear gaby talking to everybody that she knew about him every so often, I would ask how he’s doing or what he was up to, she would just say he was doing fine. eventually I had stopped asking a long time ago and ended up keeping it that way, they were cousins.. they were supposed to talk, I really had no place to ask or say anything. but, It still just made no sense to me.. if he’d been around why hadn’t he at least stopped by to see me at least one time, could you possibly be that busy? once I had let go of gaby, I started to talk. “I’m just teasing you guys..! here, you little things need to eat anyway, and some good stuff at that.”
“___, you know you don’t have to, right?” falco adds, “falco, stop being such a baby.” gaby grumpily adds while giving him a somewhat gentle shove. falco was just nice and careful, but that didn’t mean he was a baby. “you guys, if I was really struggling I would have stood firm on my decision.” I headed back behind my stand and start chopping a pineapple. “besides, I bet you guys have never had this before, I just got an import from somewhere in the south, I haven’t had it in years. maybe you guys might like it.” zophia glances at it, she quietly starts to speak, “so.. spiky..” udo nods his head along with her statement. “what is it??” falco questions. “somewhere in the south??” gaby wondered. “a pineapple.” I replied
“pineapple?!? those look nothing like apples.” udo adds. I started to laugh a bit. “well, take it up with the person that named it.” I shrug “so lame.” gaby had to add her two cents into the conversation. as I finished up cutting the edges of the pineapple to give them, I couldn’t help but listen to them talk. “pineapple is so confusing, I would have named it spikefruit or something.” gaby shakes her head. “yeah sounds cooler.” udo nods, I end up laughing to myself a bit and hand them all their pieces. I calmly wait for their reactions. I already had one, plenty actually. I’ve had many fruits since being a vendor, but pineapple is by far one of my favorites, my mind starts to go blank for some reason.
- - - - -
“reiner, get back here!!!” I yell as I start chasing my friend reiner. we had been close for years, but he was always just so sneaky. “you’re gonna have to catch up to me.” he yells back with a smile, while carrying one of the fruits from my mother’s shop. I start to gain a little speed from being so frustrated that he decided to just take off like that. my mom left me to watch over the shop for awhile, but reiner decided that he wanted to run off and take something with him, this is why I told him to run back home, I was fine and didn’t need any help because he was no help at times. she would most likely get mad at me if she found out that someone was sneaking around and stealing her produce, especially if it was one that she rarely gets imported, even worse if all of her stuff was gone by the time I got back. I was thinking about it, we still needed the money, and reiner dipping off and taking things wouldn’t help that at all. reiner runs for as long as he could, until he stopped on a long stone staircase, plopping down on the ground with the fruit in his hands. I catch up to him up the stairs, but my breathing is rapid. I had to catch my breath before I spoke. “give.. that… back..” I tried to tell him, I had to say each word slowly. I try reaching out and grabbing it from his hands, but he dodged me swiftly every single time “come on… (your mom’s name) wouldn’t mind.. besides, she loves me..” He raises his eyebrows up and down in a cocky manner, trying to swoon me into letting have it, this bastard.. even if I wanted I still wouldn’t be able to get it from him anyway. I look at him, not pleased in the slightest maybe he was right.. my mom wouldn’t mind, she was always the nice lady that let people try her stuff for free, and she loved reiner. I start to become more at ease. “fine..”
“what is this thing anyway..??” he stares at me all confused. “It’s a pineapple..”
“pineapple? never heard of it before.. it’s very spiky though, how do you even eat it?” he adds, while looking all around at it. I just laugh, this idiot goes and steals something.. and he doesn’t even know what it is. I knew it wasn’t the most pleasing to look at. “you don’t eat it like that, you have to cut it open.. in the inside its yellow, and if you get a good one, they taste really really sweet” I pull out my pocket knife that my mom gave me. “but, in the middle it’s kind of hard, so you have to eat around it, unless you’re one of the people that like it.” I take it from him and attempt to slice it open.
“how would you know..?” he bluntly replies, but then catches himself, remembering that my mother literally owned a fruit shop. “oh.. never mind.” he laughs and I start to laugh along with him. I ended up cutting it open and giving him a slice, waiting for his reaction. his face lit up when he bit into it and tasted it for the first time. knowing that he liked it as much as I did made me happy, maybe it was worth it after all. “where does your mom even get these??!! you need to tell her to get more.” he said, chewing with his mouth open as he obviously liked it, maybe too much. “like, all the time..” he adds.
“I don’t know where, she said she gets them from somewhere in the south” I laughed at him, but noticed that he was being improper.
“and close your mouth, finish saying what you want when you’re done eating.” I shake my head as I look at him.
“sorry.” he says, but food was still in his mouth.
“you’re doing it again reiner!”. “sorry!!!” he laughs. I lightly hit him in the shoulder a couple of times in a playful manner. “ow..ow!!” he gets up and runs in circles away from me. “get over here!!” we both laugh as we chased each other around. later, reiner soon went on to devour the whole thing.
—————
“____, you okay? you’ve been staring over there with a strange face for awhile.” falco comes over and taps me lightly a few times. “yeah! I’m.. just fine!” I shake my head and exclaim really enthusiastically, almost too enthusiastic that it was kind of off. “I was just thinking about things I have to do later.” I laugh. falco looks at me and nods suspiciously, with a worried smile. I start to get annoyed that I even got reminded of him, maybe it would be best if I had just went on with life like I had never met him at all, but it was going to be hard. “well, ____! that was one of the most delicious things that I have ever had!! you should get more of those spikefruit things” gaby exclaims.
“thank you.” zophia calmly says.
“anytime guys..” I smiled. they ended up thanking me again and again, saying their goodbyes and then leaving. I had to continue packing up my shop..
for the next few days I continue what I always did, every day. sold fruit for hours, went about my life, thinking maybe I should just try to do something else. but.. I was stuck thinking about my mom, this was her shop and this is what she was passionate about, after all. she would have wanted me to keep it and continue. besides, I’ve been here ever since I could remember. I shake my head, and laugh to myself for thinking something so dumb.. why would I ever get rid of it? plus I barely have enough money to keep going about life anyway. I need it.
as I close down my shop, I put the remaining items in a cloth bag that my mom had made for me awhile back, and started walking back to my house. the walk took a few good long minutes, but I had ended up at my front door sooner than I expected. I attempted to get they house key out of my pocket, but ended up dropping a few things from out of the bag when I leaned over, I ignored it and continued to open my door, I sat the bag down inside near the door and turned back around to get on my knees trying to pick up the things that had fallen. “need some help?” I heard the deep voice of a man call out from a few feet away. I didn’t recognize who it was, nor did I ever bother looking up to see, there were plenty of nice people around where I lived, all willing to help with anything. I just continued picking the fruits up. “It’s okay don’t worry about it.. I’m fine, thank you sir.” the man laughed as he approached even closer. “sir?” he stopped. “that really does sound so weird coming from you..” as soon as he said that, I looked up and saw someone that I didn’t think I would ever see.
reiner, all professional.. looking down at me.. I was hesitant to even say anything, I just had this confused look on my face, almost as if I had seen a titan. “what..? did I do something?”. he asked, upon seeing me. It kind of made me angry seeing him all nonchalant and kiddish about everything like I hadn’t seen him for awhile.. over a year.. maybe even two, I started to think perhaps awhile would be an understatement itself. I start to speak up. “did you do something??” I scoff, I should’ve just went inside then and there, but it didn’t. “I… just wanted to see how you and (mom’s name) were doing.. it’s been a while, I thought maybe you’d be happy to see me.” his tone of voice started to change, he rubs the nape of his neck awkwardly.. I rolled my eyes, continuing what I was doing. treating him as if he were any other ordinary person stopping by, but I knew that he wasn’t. I opened my door and proceeded to put the remainder of the fruits in the bag that I sat near the door a few moments ago. then afterwards I turn my attention back to him. “did you need anything else?” I look at him with a blank expression, trying to be as calm as possible. he thinks about what to say for a bit, and then starts to talk “look, I get it. I’m sorry.. I am. I should have stopped by sooner.. but come on, you shouldn’t be so abrupt..”
“huh..? no, you don’t get it.. It’s been so long that I forgot what you even sounded like, is that normal to you reiner!?” my voice started to raise, I basically started to snap.
“___…” he tries to call out to me by my name but I just ignore it. my eyes started to water, but I just stood there and hoped that it wasn’t noticeable. “It’s been so long that I never even got to tell you that she got sick and passed away..” I said, my voice cracking as I tried to speak. “months ago..” I added
“now I just do things alone.” I shrugged.
reiner looked honestly appalled to hear what I had just said. almost like he was in disbelief that things had even happened like that, but he knew what he did. maybe he thought time flew by and it hadn’t actually been that long. maybe that’s why he approached me the way he did. I was so lonely after my mom had passed, I had nobody to talk to, and the only person that I wanted to talk to, well, the only person I was ever close to was never there.. “___, I.. just..” reiner tried to speak but i just wouldn’t let him “i appreciate you stopping by. but, it would’ve been best if you just.. didn’t...”, my voice was almost emotionless, I didn’t even feel like crying anymore.
“___.. I’m sorry, I don’t know why I didn’t ever stop by.. I really do feel horrible, I didn’t know.... I’m sorry!! and if i did i would have a long time ago-!” he sounded angry with himself, but I didn’t really pay any attention to it, that’s how he should feel. I cut him off. “of course you didn’t know.” I angrily reply, “because you never came..” I soon just sigh and laugh, because that’s honestly all I could do. “you know what.. just forget it reiner. forget you were even here, everything. just forget about it..” I shake my head and end up closing the door in his face, I saw him try to reach his hand out before I did it, but I didn’t care. I felt him linger in front of the door for a few long moments until he decided to accept whatever happened and walked away.. good, I didn’t ever want to see him again anyway. especially after what he did, it was so messed up. I went to sleep and tried to forget about what happened, I was trying to forget before, but now it would be even harder. I thought, maybe I was being too harsh… maybe it hadn’t been as long as I thought it was, he had nothing but good intentions or so he thought. but then I thought about it again... remembering what I had to go through, having to listen to my mom asking about what happened to reiner and why he never stopped by anymore, even when she was sick, telling her that I didn’t know, never did, and having to go on with life without anyone to at least talk to about things made regret ever thinking I was being too harsh. but he’s his own person after all. he had other things and people to worry about, he always did.
i get up from bed, and since it was morning I thought maybe I’d take a shower and put a dress on to take a stroll around before work. try and eat near the sea and get some fresh air, since that was where I went when it was time to pick up my fruits, I had always liked looking out there into the ocean. I started walking past the markets, and then to the dock, seeing everyone scattered around..working. I go to the very edge where I sat down and let my legs hang off of the small ledge, I brought myself something to eat in a little bag. I look out into the water, it was so pretty. I always thought we were extremely privileged to even be able to live next to something so beautiful, my mom would take me here sometimes. I start eating without a care in the world. “hey!” I hear someone shout out. I thought I already knew who it was, so I just start packing up, maybe it was one of the workers telling me to move for an oncoming ship. “yeah, I uh.. I’m really sorry, I just wanted to see it for a few minutes.. I’ll leave.” I had finished putting everything in my bag, getting up to make make my way towards the entrance of where I came from. “are you always this absent minded?.” the mystery guy laughs. “I don’t work here, just wanted to say I thought you looked lonely, plus it might be really dangerous if you fall in.” he smiled “well, i don’t mind, i guess its worth the risk. it’s peaceful..” I shrugged, looking at him.. what did he even want and who was he? “crazy one aren’t you? but i don’t think its peaceful if you’re always alone, or if you end up dying because you can’t swim..” he laughs at me yet again. I looked at him all confused. “great… I’m so pathetic that I make people I don’t even know feel bad for me, huh?” I start to mumble to myself, I guess it happened to be loud enough for him to hear me. I roll my eyes and then storm off. “ugh.” what was his deal? he looked like he got caught off guard “hey! what? that’s not-..” he tried to yell from behind me, I just shut everything out.
“wait, come back!” he tries to catch up with me, what is this guys deal? I don’t even know him, and I knew he was just inches away. “and how do you even know if I’m always alone or not?!? you weirdo!” I turn around as I swat my bag at him with all of my food still in there. I end up hitting him a couple of times, some of the food ended up falling out as well.. what a creep. “ow!” he tries to block wherever the bag landed with his arms and steps away. “look, this might sound weird but I’m not a stalker alright?!?” he tries to explain “I just see you around.. you run that one fruit shop right?” I soon remembered that I wasn’t invisible, and that people remembered my face. I calmed down, and soon started to feel empathetic, but still.. why was he watching me? “yeah.. I do run it.. but, what’s it to you? just leave me alone.” I continue walking, ever since everything happened with my life I’ve just been different. I didn’t even like talking to people anymore, let alone someone who was basically making fun of me. “look I apologize okay?! I didn’t mean to make you feel any sort of way, that was never my intention..” he exhaled as he continued talking afterwards “this was a bad first introduction, I know..” I end up stopping and looking back at him.
“and I do feel bad.. I really shouldn’t have made that assumption about you..” I just stare at him for a few seconds before giving a small nod.. “look, It’s fine.. have a good day sir, alright?” i reply, giving a little smile, before walking away and sighing to myself. If what I said before wasn’t indication that I just wanted to be left alone, that definitely was. I keep on my way, thinking maybe I should have cussed him out, and let people stop walking all over me for once, or if I should have just let him speak and say what he wanted to say.
whatever, at least he said sorry I guess.
I get back home, regretting that I ever went outside. no wonder I always stay in when I can. I end up taking another shower since I was out in the sun. soon I had to set up my shop, I just thought it would be a nice experience to eat and get some fresh air, but I don’t think I’ll ever do that again.
I sat at my shop and ended up selling to a decent amount of people. the man who owned the market, joseph came by. “___, you’re short on payments.. I’ll need that by the end of tomorrow.. got it?” he said in a disapproving tone, but he wasn’t too demanding. “really?? I.. I thought I was good for the next few days.” I couldn’t help but bury my face in my hands in sheer disappointment… “I’m sorry, I wish it said otherwise on my papers. you’re a good kid ___, and I’m really sorry about what happened, but I’m gonna need it by tomorrow when the market closes up.” he looks at me all sympathetically before eventually walking away while I was too caught up thinking about what to do. I just wanted to scream. I didn’t think I had enough to even cover what I owed, since I didn’t know how much I owed. I start to get frustrated that I didn’t think to ask. but, I was in public and didn’t want any attention on me if I just kicked something or yelled as loud as i could. I just sink down in my chair, waiting for the next person who wanted to buy anything. hours go by, soon I managed to rack up a good dozen gold coins or so maybe I’ll be on the right track if I sell more and more every day.. but I then realized that he said he needed it by tomorrow. I bang my head on the wooden pillar of my stand. I wanted to continue selling here, but I wouldn’t have any choice in the end if I can’t keep up with my payments, I can barely afford to keep my shop, how will I even be able to eat? or even import stuff to sell? “I wouldn’t recommend doing that, you’ll hurt yourself.” I hear someone call out. I jolt my head over to the voice and immediately sigh.. “you again?” I start to get annoyed. why did he decide to show up, I would have been fine without seeing him ever again.
“yeah, me. I.. just wanted to talk to you.”
“what could we possibly talk about?”
“I just wanted to say sorry again, I mean it.. I still feel bad for what I said, I was out of line.”
“I already said it was fine, I don’t need another apology from you, you’re just wasting your own time and energy.” I turn my back and start organizing my shop.
“I just didn’t know how to talk to you..” he stood there for a few long moments before he finally gained the courage to admit what he had been holding back. when he had said that, I ended up turning around and looking at him with a blank expression, “it’s easy, just don’t. I’m not anyone special.” I shrug. maybe it was me, I act so nonchalant about everything, no wonder I was always doing things by myself. “I wouldn’t speak about yourself like that either, it’s not good for you” I was expecting this guy to walk away, but he just didn’t.. why did he even care..?
“I realize I never told you my name..” he nervously chuckled. “it’s porco.. but sometimes people just call me by my last name, galliard..” he shrugs. I stare at him before nodding. “okay galliard, did you need anything?” I kept up with the whole uninterested thing.
“maybe your name too, would be nice.”
“___.” I bluntly said before I continued what i was doing.
“you’re so straightforward..” he shook his head. “that’s fine, I know someone that’s almost exactly like you, ___..” he carried on. “did you need any help?” he went on with trying to talk to me, almost like he saw right through me. “I’m fine, just go do your own thing.” I replied back to him.
“that’s kind of the thing.. I have some free time, and I don’t mind helping you if you need it.”
“besides, that’s the least I could do.” he looks down at you, doing whatever you were doing, attempting to be convincing. I stood there for awhile until I made up my mind. “look, do whatever you want.. just be quiet okay?” I finally say. “great, thank you! what do you want me to do?”
what a weird one...
“well I wanted you to leave me alone, but I guess you can organize these if you want.” I accidentally let out a small laugh as I hand him a basket of produce..
“ha! I guess you’re not so mean after all..” he smiles as he takes it from me, and it took everything for me not to grab a bag and swat it at him again.
“hey, that doesn’t mean i—!!”
—-
as porco finished up helping her with the stand, he said his goodbyes and made his way back to the marleyan base. he found his good friend reiner roaming about and decided that he had to tell him about what happened “so, you know that girl I was talking about, the one that ran that shop?” porco questioned. reiner nodded, porco was always blabbering on and on about random women every chance he found one that was his type, but none ever worked out, it was kind of no surprise that he had something to say. “did it go well?” reiner furrowed his eyebrows, wondering how things went last time, since the other one ended up being uninterested. “did it go well???” porco repeated reiner’s question.
“It went better than i thought it would, actually.. I thought I messed everything up at first.” porco then continued to tell him the rest of the story.. reiner started to hear something that gave him a very familiar feeling..
the teasing, the owning the fruit stand, the stubborn girl that refused any help, the way that she hit him a couple of times. reiner started to stare off into the distance for a few moments before looking back at porco.
“say, porco.. did you…ever get her name?” reiner asked. porco just gave him a very confused look in return.
“yeah. of course I did, but it’s not like you would know her anyway..” porco giggles. “yeah.. I guess you’re right.” reiner attempts to laugh along with him, but something seemed off. “anyways I’ll tell you if anything else happens, I gotta head down to train with pieck. see you later reiner!” porco runs off all happy, and child-like. reiner’s mind starts to wander.
hm…
fruit stand.. huh?

I think we have all seen the "Argenti thinks the Reader is Idrila" stuff on here. But what if the reader actually is Idrila? So I wanted to request Argenti/Idrila!Reader (gn or afab reader) headcanons or a oneshot where Idrila, who has taken on a mortal identity after [Insert tragic event here], and meets Argenti. They develop feelings for each other, Argenti finds out she is Idrila, they end up dating. (Maybe or maybe not in that specific order) I thought maybe after protecting her followers from Nanook she disappeared to ensure Nanook doesn't target them anymore? That part isn't as important so feel free to add whatever backstory you think fits^^ Thank you in advance, I really like your writing!
NONNIE omg im booting up star rail rn to stare at him lovingly. also i changed the scenario a smidge so reader is her own person while also being idrila? if that makes sense......?? yeah. also bc otherwise id be writing ten thousand words n i didnt want ur ask to grow dusty in my inbox d(;∀;d) but tysm for the prompt i couldn’t stop thinking about it ueue. also hey gang peep me trying to make my blog look more coherent n nicer looking. am i doin it ⸝⸝⸝⸝⸝⸝ cw: a smidge of amnesia and soulmate trope (it’s not that bad, trust), fluff, love at first sight (does that even count in this scenario....), argenti and reader are dancing around the topic a lot bc argenti is a gentleman and doesn’t want to pressure her to talk. blurbs to set up the plot + a fic after them hehe. not proofread, writer’s block is killing me includes: fem reader (he refers to reader as "my lady"), argenti, natasha, luocha is kinda there wc: 2,3k
-ˋˏ You’d go to Natasha’s clinic at least once every other day because you always had the worst migraines. To the point where you almost got beat up by a Flamespawn one time when you were clearing out calyxes (thankfully there was a Silvermane guard patrolling the area, otherwise you would’ve been charred). The doctor always says the same thing; “Stop looking for fights so often”, “Let your body rest”, “I can’t prescribe you antibiotics”, and your favorite, “Stop slamming my door open I can’t do anything about your headaches”. She was a good friend, but whenever she repeated how she couldn’t be of any help to your predicament, you’d wish you could just take that glass vial hanging from her outfit and chuck it far, far away out of spite.
-ˋˏ Obviously it wasn’t her fault- she'd done everything she could. Natasha even had you undergo the Underworld’s equivalent of an MRI scan because of how frequently you would visit her, insisting that something was wrong. The symptoms consisted of forgetting important things too often, feeling a foreign buzz in your limbs and brain, having a sudden burst of elemental energy come out of your attacks and a myriad of benign but annoying, irritating signs that something was up with you.
-ˋˏ It became more of a chore than anything to leave your room. Some days you felt fine, but then when you’d go out again and beat up wave after wave of enemies in Caverns of Corrosion you would keel over, clutching your head while vague images of what could only be described as a fever dream ran through your mind.
-ˋˏ You decided to leave the Underworld for some time- considering your absence like some sort of “vacation”. You heard of a wandering doctor (and merchant, apparently) by the name of Luocha and, from the people that crossed paths with him, it seemed like he was extraordinary at his job. A trek to the Xianzhou Luofu would be a long one, but after weighing your options you thought you’d give it a try (it was worth it if it meant you’d stop waking up at ungodly hours, holding your head in your hands while hoping, praying that the pain stops.)
-ˋˏ You (somehow) made your way to the Xianzhou Luofu from Jarilo-VI. As competent as you were however, being stranded on a foreign planet with no map nor local to guide you was... a challenge. In retrospect, maybe you should’ve gotten in contact with that Luocha doctor and had him come to Belobog instead of you going to him since, well, he was a traveling merchant. Going from planet to planet is what he does (you assume).
✧✧✧
If you had read up more on general information about the Luofu you would have been aware of how many enemies were roaming around the docking area. But you didn’t. So, unbeknownst to you, a rogue mara-struck soldier was on your tail, trying to sneak up to you to snag the goods you hid in your bag (which were basically just different types of painkillers and sustenance that bodes well on an upset stomach. He doesn’t know that though.)
Your head was throbbing; ever since you set foot on the planet, your physical health had slowly dropped down to levels you wouldn’t be enduring if it wasn’t for the promise of a competent doctor once you get to the main city. Painkillers weren’t working, your feet hurt and to make matters worse, you felt the familiar lack of something in your head. It was so bad to the point where you had to have a tangible mark somewhere to remind you that you did, in fact, just take something for your headache and if you took two more painkillers, your body wouldn’t agree with your decision. It was a struggle even remembering what you did five minutes ago, no way were you going to be in top shape, beating up every enemy crossing your way.
Clouds began covering the bright sun, casting shadows over the desolate, geometric area. You huff, irritated that, from the looks of it, you won’t be able to find a cozy place to set up camp. Though sleeping on a ground made of primarily iron and steel was considerably less nerve-wracking than sleeping on the mushy, cold, dirty ground of Jarilo-VI. So, with a pout aimed at no one in particular, you find some place that you deemed decent enough to set your humble tent. It wasn’t often that adventurers slept outside of safe zones, however with your condition you couldn’t afford to miss out on some rest and possibly get even more lost than you already are.
You set your heavy backpack down, rolling your shoulders to soothe the ache in your muscles from carrying something so bulky. As you ruffle through your belongings, you open a bottled soda and take a swift gulp, sighing contentedly at the pleasant taste on your tongue. Now that you were sat and could rest your bones (until you started setting up your tent, at least), your ears were able to pick up on some not-so-distant footsteps.
There’s no time for you to react; the mara-struck soldier that had been following you lunges at you, aiming for your bag. Your eyes widen and you open your mouth to yell, but before any sound can leave your mouth, a long, red and gold spear pierces the ground between you and the rabid man, making you yelp in surprise. You scurry as far back as you can in your current state; however, the soldier doesn’t have time to take advantage of your weakened stature. The owner of the spear lodges himself before your shaking figure and the mara-struck, yanking his spear out of the ground with impressive elegance, and summons an array of thorny vines to catch your assailant.
It takes little to no effort for the seasoned fighter to take down the mara-struck as he swings his weapon, swiftly knocking the blunt end on the soldier’s plexus, knocking the wind out of him. A strangled scream leaves his throat as he scampers away, leaving your belongings safe with you and the strange red-haired man. He lowers his spear, careful to keep the sharp edge far from you, and turns around to face you properly. His brows raise a smidge for a split second before he composes himself and bows before you, the action short and curt.
“It would have been a shame to lose a beauty such as yourself,” he says smoothly, straightening his back to look down at you with a warm smile. He stretches his hand out, a polite offer to help you stand up, as he continues speaking. “My name is Argenti, I belong to the Knights of Beauty. What might you be doing so far away from civilization, dear...?” he trails off, waiting for you to introduce yourself.
You were in a state of shock, your mind still processing what had happened in such a short amount of time, that you failed to notice the lack of pain at the back of your head. As you meekly tell him your name, you hold onto his hand to help yourself up- as soon as his armored glove comes in contact with your hand something flashes in your mind; too quick to allow you to think about it too much, or to recognize what you saw for a millisecond.
“So far away from civilization... do you know how to get to the city?” you ask as you feel a glimmer of hope spark in you. His words were refreshing, probably the best thing someone has ever said to you in the past month. He nods, reaching into his pocket to fish out a blue handkerchief embroidered with a delicate gold trim. Argenti hands it over to you and you gratefully take it, blotting the sweat and... dust off of your face.
“I have made my way around the Luofu for long enough to show someone the way,” he says kindly. “Besides, even if I didn’t, I would still offer to accompany you through your trek. It is my duty as a Knight of Beauty, for I must uphold chivalry and distinguished manners, in the name of the Goddess guiding me.” His words resonate within you, making you beam, nodding in understanding.
Your reaction doesn’t go unnoticed by the knight. As you hand his handkerchief back, he smiles at you and gestures to your bag. “What brings you so far from your homeworld, my lady?” Argenti asks gently, though a glimmer of doubt swirls in his sparkling, verdant eyes. The question makes you pause, a memory flashing in your mind too suddenly for you to know what it meant. Although, from what you could tell, you knew you could trust him with what troubled you somehow.
“Ah, it’s a long story,” you start sheepishly, “I’ve been having these incredibly painful migraines recently. And sometimes I feel like my memory is fading too quickly for what would be considered normal,” you say, trailing off slightly at the end. “I’m looking for a healer, a doctor by the name of Luocha...?”
Somehow, the doctor was currently the least of your worries. You’d never felt so refreshed before, at least not that you could remember; simply being in Argenti’s presence seemed to be enough to make your aches disappear like a starskiff smoothly gliding through a cloudless sky.
“I’ve seen the man only a handful of times,” Argenti mutters aloud, pulling you out of your thoughts. “I can do my best to guide you to him, but if I may... you don’t seem to be injured?” the knight says, his voice trailing off into a questioning tone despite the observation. You shake your head, wondering how you should explain your predicament to the man.
“Like I said, it’s a long story,” you say again, shrugging sheepishly. You wondered if you should even go into the nitty gritty- he could always just be making small talk to help you get comfortable or something. Sensing your unease, he changes the spotlight to him instead.
“There’s no need to delve into details if you wish to keep them secret,” he says with a kind smile, bending down to take ahold of your hand- gently pressing a chaste kiss on the back of your hand. Red flushes your ears immediately, words caught in your throat at the sight of his hair cascading over his shoulders, a beautiful contrast from the gold and silver armor glittering in what was left of the sunlight.
“As for myself, like I mentioned earlier, I am a Knight of Beauty. I’m on a quest to find my dear Goddess Idrila once more, for I need to pay my respects to them after they saved me from a particularly grim fate.” His words echoed in your mind, your brows knitting together as you felt what could only be described as a cold bucket of water being dunked on your head. “I-Idrila?” you parrot, your voice coming out as a choked noise. Argenti perks up, the hand that had been softly holding onto yours now holding it with a firmer grip, his other hand joining it.
“Yes, Idrila. Have you ever heard of them? Or...” he trails off, looking deep into your eyes expectantly, almost as if he knew something you didn’t. His eyes seemed to suck you in, bringing a comfortable wave of warmth over you, making you yearn for something.
“I...” you begin, your gaze falling down to look at your feet. As you thought long and hard about what you wanted to say, what you tried to remember, you slowly look over to his spear, lying flat on the ground- long forgotten since the fight earlier. As if a lightbulb went off above your head, you perk up just as he did, and look at him, beaming. The words were caught in your throat; there was so much you wanted to say, to declare, to do in this moment of clarity, but with how fast your mind was running to catch you up on the current events of your life it was a struggle.
“Argenti,” you murmur, the name rolling off your tongue smoothly, as you realized seeing the traveling merchant was no longer required. Though the road might have been arduous, and you may have almost lost your mind in the process, being with Argenti suddenly made everything make sense. That’s why your migraines mysteriously disappeared as soon as you were in the knight’s presence, that’s why you had gaps in your memory, that’s why you were freakishly powerful... at convenient times.
Everything clicked into place.
The both of you share a pregnant pause, eyes locked together as the world seemed to come to a stop around you. If it were possible, you’re sure there would be delicate, silky rose petals floating around your figures, suspended in the air. You glance down at his lips, and for the first time, make a decision with a clear head.
His lips felt smooth against yours, the faint taste of vanilla mixed with roses transferring to your own lips. The kiss almost felt like it could be the result of a symbiotic relationship; now that you had Argenti, or at least had him by your side once again, you didn’t think you’d be able to continue on without him.

university!dan heng x reader headcanons
a/n: i uhhhh am back
genre and tags: fluff, modern au, some general headcanons but also an x reader storyline towards the end, first meeting type stuff, dan heng is chinese cus lol
reader: gn, uni student
₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ゚.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f6c8d03e563a57267e1aa94e3e3a2919/8889ae5674100e76-c3/s540x810/ff4bf772cc3a2725629e1d3dbbdd1d749a1d2237.jpg)
A history major, and one of those ones that can churn out 8 page essays so fast everyone wonders if he’s actually a computer in a human suit. He hops in and out of lectures so fast, his day moves like clockwork. For all his previous classmates care, he probably is.
Has the *absolute bare minimum* in his backpack: laptop. tablet. id. charger. a *singular mechanical pencil*.
+ Has been using the same mechanical pencil he’s been using since middle school.
Brings a thermos to school that he only ever fills with tea. Coffee makes him too buzzy and he’s not a fan of the smell.
Mutters under his breath to himself in frustrated Chinese when he’s stumped. Also whispers to himself in Chinese when doing mental math.
Because he’s always got either a book or his phone in one hand he does that *thing* where he unzips his zip up hoodies by biting down on the collar and tugging on the zipper with his hand. it gets him lots of stares, but he never notices, and if he does, is probably wondering what they’re looking at.
He ended up becoming your library crush. You went to borrow a charger from the library desk on a day he had a shift. You can’t say the library is your most favorite place on campus, but suddenly you started “forgetting” to charge your laptop overnight so you could have an excuse to see him again. He’s started to anticipate your arrival every day he’s on the job.
One day he isn’t the one at the desk when you arrive. You ask for a charger like always and the guy at the desk says they’re fresh out. That’s when you saw him, swooping in and handing you a charger before taking his spot behind the desk. “Sorry about that. late lecture. here.”
That particular day you spent a bit longer at the library than usual, so by the time you were leaving he was off the job. You hand the charger back, and the guy at the desk looks at you, frowning. “Is this your own charger?” You shake your head, confused. “This charger is a personal charger, it doesn’t have a library sticker on it. Where’d you find this?”
One day you’re doing some research in the library, and go to put one of the books you took back in its shelf. A hand reaches out from behind you as you’re about to slot it back in, gently taking it from you. Your hands meet - for just a moment - and you whip your head back around, startled. You think it may just be your memory going fuzzy now, but when you turn around to see him you swear his cheeks flushed pink for a moment. “Um. This is the wrong shelf.” He nodded, and then he was gone.
Weird. Now that you think of it, you’re pretty certain it was the right one.
₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ゚.
a/n: had fun w the last ones so i did another~~~ im happy to take requests rn actually for either dan heng or geppie 😎🙏 (cus im most familiar w them lol)

nightfall was crazy, but I'm also kind of confused??? It went by sooo fast I was like WHAT? WAIT, WHAT? WAIT WAIT WAIT-
Love the fact that they went on with keefes whole "I'm not worth it, but you are, so I'm going to take over decisions we need to make (as a team) and screw them over so that they cause harm to me and not you!" Kinda vibe, honestly thought that after he came back from the neverseen in lodestar they were just going to forget about it, yk??
Only thing I really didn't like is that like...everyone has a slight distrust to keefe (at least in the start, till he apologized ) but Sophie, the person who was (in my opinion) most affected by his 'betrayal' never once had a doubt???? Like, if someone betrayed me, right? Yk they're my friend whatever whatever, ID STILL HAVE SOME KIND OF LIKE ISSUES WITH THEM???
I feel like her distrusting keefe and then slowly learning to trust him would have made the book MUUUCH better!!
Also, I'm still not getting where the Fitz discourse is coming from, like, his sibling just betrayed him, fell unconscious and WOKE UP WITH NO MEMORY OF ANYTHING?? I can see where the anger issues come from
Holy shit this was long, sorry!
-- @localburntoutkid
Had a blast reading this!
You’re so right about Keefe. That definitely doesn’t get dropped after lodestar, or even nightfall—it’s one of his character’s main flaws, and while it does shift and evolve as the series moves on, it’s kind of there, you know? And I’m really hoping it resolves in some way by the end of the series, because his arc is just… so interesting to me. Because it is NOT arc-shaped. At all.
I get what you mean about Sophie being the only one who doesn’t distrust Keefe when he comes back. I really like that too acknowledge that it’s a Sophie-specific thing, though! Too many people forget that this is a third person limited story told by an unreliable narrator, and act like Shannon Messenger herself is telling us Keefe deserves to be fully trusted. Sophie Foster decides, at the end of Neverseen, not to hate him, and Lodestar is where she has her moments of doubt and distrust, but even in Lodestar, she always believes in Keefe’s good intentions. There’s even a scene where she says something like “Yes, Keefe’s plan is horrible and I hate it, but his heart is in the right place. I have to believe that.” The part about keefe’s plan is paraphrased, but she did say she needs to believe his heart was in the right place, in that wording, and it’s fascinating to me. She’s very attatched to Keefe (obviously) and I think it’s mostly for her own sanity that she chooses over and over to believe that there’s something right about what he’s doing, because letting him go sounds excruciating, even by his own fault.
I actually have no issue with this being Sophie’s perspective, and I actually find it interesting especially in the context of sokeefe, but I wish we got to see this portion through another character’s eyes. For example, Fitz. Someone who does distrust him afterwards, and rightfully so.
As far as Fitz discourse goes, that stuff stemmed less from nightfall and more from flashback and legacy. I don’t hate Fitz in either of those books, but you’ll probably notice the moments that made people kind of go nuts about hating him and ran away with his character (personally, I think Fitz is fully understandable in both books, but don’t fully condone the way he acts in a few scenes, particularly in legacy. I’ll explain later after you’ve read it)
Don’t apologize for length, I’m literally Katie, have you met me? Everything I write is longer than I intend
I’m glad you’re having fun with the KOTLC series. Keep me updated!!!

svt as boyfriends ♡ minghao edition
member: minghao x reader genre: fluff, established relationship, bullet points word count: 785 summary: minghao's boyfriend things <3 warnings: none!! author's note: i actually forgot to write this one which is why you are getting it so late i am so sorry. On the other hand, it's Hao day!!! and I am so close to having a small break from school and work !!
Art hoe aesthetic bf
Also the perfect instagram boyfriend
The personification of “no babe that’s stupid…let’s do it”
Quality Time
Likes doing hobbies with you !! Like he would love to do one of those paint for 30 minutes and then swap canvases challenges with you
Would literally hand the canvas on the wall afterwards too
Helps you discover some hobbies if you feel like you don’t have any
“I’m gonna go work on a puzzle, babe, wanna join me?”
Would love to do very domestic things with you like go grocery shopping and idk weed the flowerbed???
Enjoys long walks on the beach and picnics
Also enjoys just existing with you --- likes to just watch tiktoks over your shoulder and asks you to forward the funny ones to him
Words of Affirmation
TELLS YOU ALL THE TIME THAT YOU ARE PERFECT LIKE JEEZ JUST LISTEN TO HIM ALREADY
“Sweetheart, I told you that the cardigan looks fine with that shirt, don’t change it.”
Would also definitely call you pet names like “babe”, “baby”, “sweets” or “sweetheart”
And don’t forget his native language either! Like Jun, he would always compliment you in both languages
Just imagine you’re chilling in bed together watching some Instagram Reels when he leans down and whispers something sweet into your hair in Mandarin
Despises you calling him pet names but calls you billions of different things just to find the perfect one
“Peach? No, that's weird. Doll? Just no.”
Doesn’t know how to take a compliment tho like damn bro LET US CALL YOU PRETTY
Physical Touch
He’s super big on hand holding and you cannot convince me otherwise…he always has his hand out for you to take
Hao is always super confident when he initiates the contact, but is so shy he turns into a fire truck when you do it (he is EMBARRASSED)
I personally don’t think Hao would be big on cuddling, especially when sleeping…mans needs his personal space, but he would totally just chill on the couch with his arm around you
When you tell him that you don’t want to be touched or anything he might pout a bit, but overall he would accept your wishes and not want to make you uncomfortable
He would also be super concerned if something like that happened, but he would do his best to fix any issue
Acts of Service
Hao would do simple things, like push the cart when you are shopping or do some cleaning when you are at work. He won’t even say anything about doing them either, he just does it and gets all giddy inside when you notice that he did something for you
If you have a pet together, he would always volunteer to to take them outside or to spend family time together
Just imagine Hao laying on his stomach on the floor playing with a kitten or a puppy it would be so cute (and of course who could resist taking a picture of it either)
Enjoys doing tasks like dishes and laundry, always willingly agrees to do them
When you are getting ready to go somewhere, he will always grab your belongings like keys, wallet, purse, phone, ID, anything like that, so you don’t forget it (because you would otherwise)
Always makes sure that if you need help with something and he can’t be there to help you that someone would be there. He doesn’t care if the rest of the performance unit wants to help, if you need more than just him the other three will be there
Gift Giving
I feel like Minghao is also not that big on gift giving…like of course he would for things like your birthday or any gift-giving holidays that you celebrate, but I just feel like he shows his love in other ways
Obviously, he’ll do stuff like get your favorite drink or snack from the store or pick up your favorite dinner on the way home, but I don’t think he’d spend hundreds on jewelry or anything
Though. He would totally revamp your whole closet for you LOL I can picture it perfectly, he sees you looking through clothes you never wear and you find a super ugly sweater and he’s like, “How many of these damn things do you have?”
So he would drag you to his favorite store and y’all would pick out some cute outfits
And he would obviously get a couple of them that match <3
But yeah he wouldn’t go too crazy with buying you gifts because he would rather tell you he loves you than try to win your love with physical items and possessions
That’s actually so slay of him though let’s be real

Love and DeepSpace x closeted trans MC.
Zayne: Okay, Last time I checked him and Mc have known each other for like.. years(?) I feel like he'd know something is off.
Like, Mc looking at their hospital reports that very obviously state (Male/Female) or some sort of ID that states their assigned gender at birth. I feel like he'd notice how focused they are but OF COURSE there isn't really a time or correct place to really talk about that sort of stuff (especially with how busy the two of them are.) and so MC doesn't mention it.
Which leaves Zayne to have to.
The next time the two get some downtime he asks about his suspicions, starting off with something like 'You've been off lately' or 'Have you been alright?' thinking at first it was about 'the attack' or about their job.
I want to say that asking him to call them by a 'nickname' is how this would go just because of the stress of trying to come out but.. I'm not exactly satisfied with that so let's say you actually tell him about what you've been thinking.
First off, Supportive. I don't think (Nor do I want to think) any of the characters are homophobic/transphobic. Zayne is a doctor for gods sake. He is not new to same sex relationships nor the concept of transgender people.
He's actually pretty cool with it (hah, get it?) He just asks whether you've decided on a new name, pronouns and if you're planning on any body modifications (Testosterone, Oestrogen, top surgery, bottom surgery, etc etc.)
I don't think Zayne would be all that knowledgable himself on how to do certain surgeries, but he would totally recommend you to other doctors/surgeons who he knows and trusts to be able to.
ALSO, VERY STRICT ON MAKING SURE YOU'RE NOT OVER-BINDING/TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF AFTER SURGERY. It's either he takes time off to help you recover(surgery) or he's constantly checking in through texts if he can't miss work.
Xavier:
Gonna be honest, don't have too many ideas for him. I want to say he wouldn't exactly bat an eye at anything Zayne would think was 'SUPER OBVIOUS' hints. He'd notice if you suddenly took on a new 'nickname' or if you started asking everyone else to call you by said 'nickname' and notice if you suddenly cut your hair/started growing out your hair.
He just wouldn't notice certain things like trying to dress closer to your preferred gender or if your voice started to gradually change (Whether it's from hormone supplements or vocal therapy.).. or he would and just wouldn't ask because 1. Those are pretty normal and tame things or 2. Because it's a gradual change and he just doesn't question it.
It's not until he thinks about it a little longer, let's say he's focusing on you that he starts to notice all the little things he missed. The way you've overall grown as a person and taken a liking to being seen as more feminine/androgynous/masculine.
I don't think he'd ask you directly, instead wait for you to bring it up to him. He doesn't want to overwhelm you or make you uncomfortable so.. he waits until you're ready. It's not like it isn't you just because you're finding out your gender after all.
I don't know how knowledgable he'd be on transgender people but he's definitely supportive. You could literally just tell him "I'm a ___, please call me __ and use __/__" and he'd just give you a thumbs up and continue about his day.
Raphael:
.
..
After Zayne I just got 0 ideas but I want to try and fit everyone in this so..
I want to say he'd notice certain changes like if you started growing out your hair, cut your hair, your voice was changing, etc.. thing is he'd forget and just think it was a normal. As in 'your voice was always that high' or 'you always dressed that way.'
If you started asking other people to start using certain 'Nicknames' then I'd imagine he'd start to notice after a while, He'd also be pretty annoyed if it was a name that he originally thought was just an 'us thing'. y'know? But he'd get even more annoyed and jealous if you got everyone else BUT him to start using different names for you, like, How DARE you? Did the two of you not have something special?
I don't think he'd notice if you started presenting differently(Dressing/acting more feminine/Masculine/androgynous.) and if he did then he wouldn't mention it. So what? you're just exploring different styles. That's fine.
It's not that he doesn't know what transgender people are / anything about queer people but he just.. doesn't really care? Like, He cares about you. Yes.
But your gender doesn't play into your worth.. why would he care? He'll respect your pronouns and decisions for yourself but unless you come out to him then he might not be too present in your transition.
He would try to help out with recovery, though. You might have to tease and pester him about it but at the end of the day, he cares and doesn't want you to hurt yourself by doing something you aren't supposed to during recovery.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel the need to mention I haven't finished the story, I mainly got most of the plot of tiktok and stuff but I really like the game.
This is in no disrespect to the original mc, I understand the game was originated in China so we're more than likely not going to get any queer rep from this one.
I also wanted to add Tara and Caleb, I just got incrediblyyy lazy. Sorry.
Again. Sorry if these characters seem mischaracterised at all, This is just how I viewed them.

Pls rant about non romance cole…he’s my favorite character in anything, ever and it feels so sad that we never got to have a deeper relationship w him. Like the mechanics/possible lore of having a romance with a spirit are so tantalizingly interesting but no…also doubting we will see him in veil guard which leaves me so so broken …
*looks at their pile of unpacked feelings about cole*
so ૮( ◡̀_◡́)ა where to start....................
first of all uh! im not good at talking! that's why i draw phphp but i'll try my best to resurrect my memories from 2014 and share it with you!! sorry if it will sound weird, english is not my native language!
well WELL from the begining then. i remember spending hours more like days hhhh thinking about how weird and cool the recruiting scene with cole is? later when he is already with the inquisition, our party is either on guard around him or kinda treats him like he is helpless and needs special attention or guidance or something like that? demonising someone like him or framing them as in need of help are like textbook behavior ofc and im not here to be a hater, i just noticed it? moments with solas and varric fighting over him like a divorced couple are super cute for sure!!
but i remember being confused because excuse me, out of all of them, this guy??, this feral bat that is chilling on the ceiling like it's a lounge-zone inside Lucius' head, created especially for him?
he is confident. also a little bit nervous, a bunch mysterious and just ghostly cool. but also confident. (im not saying this confidence is not misplaced sometimes btw x) he even tells you that if you'll leave your head you'll die! what a jokester (҂ ꒦ິヮ꒦ິ)
and the whole quest with templars and envy are soooo horror coded, i love it!! it looked a bit silly, sure
(even after so many years im not able to get rid of the image in my brain phphphp)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cfcbd6d04b2f7a97e3ede62fdbf0505a/48aa3c58198ff93f-a0/s540x810/523cfce360b8ef8da81aaa207144c563d561668a.jpg)
but it's still a very interesting quest!! dorian is ✨the bestie✨ but i'm always picking templars bc the implications of the story are just so good
1. its placed at the beginning of the game and your character is probably confused and anxious and dont yet worked out the routine of how to deal with their new title\powers + not every inquisitor character would want to be in the spotlight.
imagine you suddenly got yourself into position where a lot of people looking up to you, listening to what you saying, placing their hopes on you or waiting for you to fail? this is terrible! id 1000% just jumped out of a cliff!!! a small one, but still
2. you meeting the guy who basically came from a place you now have unlimited access to.
he is: a) almost as confused as you are b) possibly came to this world without knowing consequences of that decision c) along the way he is figuring out how to be himself in the environment that is nothing like where he used to live. wow thats just like forced immigration *nervous laugh*
3. and let's not forget that you are meeting him inside your head and you can say to him "you look familiar".
dont know about you but apparently i dont need much to start screaming ¯(ツ)/¯
also can i just spend the moment to say that this is three (3) identical dialogue options??????????
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/08669b269f0164fbf91c6c22f23f28a5/48aa3c58198ff93f-aa/s540x810/eba88bf2d88d5ef29bfcb7222ff0cc2955bbcd0c.jpg)
the screenshot is from here btw
how awesome would it be to be able to figure out stuff together? to find comfort in someone, with someone who barely experienced it this way? to build on your strong sides? like "hope" for cole and i guess "unhingedness" for the inquisitor? i bet they would ground each other easily as well: cole distracting inq by being unintentionally mischievous and inq would have a notepad with cole's "firsts ____" or they would just read together. oh im such a sucker for hurt\comfort\some things cant be healed stuff uaaaaaaaaa
ALSO THE "FORGET" THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the drama the horror the tension!!!!!!!! you can fight me over this but heres the thought:
cole being so stressed that he is erasing\being on the edge of erasing the inquisitor's memories??????
i got the feeling that cole's confidence in the concept of "help" is, among other things, makes him being able to zoom in on something borderline obsessively? or vise versa - dismissively, not noticing "it hurts, its not for the better"? he thanks you when you promise to kill him, he cries when you do not. i swear this man (─ ‿ ─)
+quick addition bc im not entirely sure: so if i got it right, the anchor makes the inquisitor "too bright" to read? so among all the people we know about inq is the one that cole can't truly empathise on this lvl? on spiritual lvl you might say lsdkjflksdjflkj sorry!!!!! but jokes aside,this is like the perfect ground to build both comforting stories
"someone from the party notices that cole is hanging near inq before inq do, and when asked he explains it by saying something like "dry warm skin. the air is stilled with quiet, easy to breathe. i followed the shining whispers and then i was followed no more" with the most plain face possible? "
and "today for lunch i have glass" kind of stories, like "the inquisitor is cornered and possibly bleeding and probably on the verge of passing out and they know that situation is bad and no one should follow/find them, "it's better to wait it out and deal with it on my own" kind of clown behavior. so they laugh tiredly at how pathetic they are, maybe remembering something similar from their childhood, remarks from their sibling for ex., and just trying their best to not think about how they need cole's help, cole's presence. the sense of safety that comes when he is around"
uh!!! that wasnt neither quick or painless so i'll go make a tea wait a second please
im back!! so since i talked about the forget thing i must confess - i dont really like cole's personal quest???? again, im not complaining or anything but i remember feeling kinda empty while playing it? like deep inside me, there was something sad, but it was so far away,i coudn't even feel it properly?
both human and spirit versions of his ending made me feel like the distance between you and him lengthened, and maybe you could do something about it before but now? this "something" is missing and you're lost and can't even tell for sure if theres was a chance to do something in the first place? and cole just moved on? its super logical considering he is not a romance option but phphph so, i rarely romance someone in games, partly bc rpg tends to be a little horny and im that kind of ace who is not interested in this, partly bc i tend to pay attention to non-romanceable characters, so when i started to explore last da:i dlc and i saw cole having gf i was like "well ouch".
imagine your inq has a crush on cole but they never were able to say it clearly?
mb it was a melancholic slowburn, and your character was going through too much and felt like burdening cole with their problems would be unfair?
maybe they tried but the timing was wrong, the words felt stupid, and their hands felt too dirty, too guilty?
oh anon its been ten years and its still huuuuuurts!!!! if you following me for a while you know that im an edge lord in poor disguise so its not surprising for neither you or me that i ended up rumbling about inexplicable sadness and crushing existential guilt, but sorry for that anyway!! if anyone would want me to talk about something specific, or to draw something - im here, staring at the wall, listening to cole's banter :') thank you for the wonderful question tho, it was more than just nice to return back to this ship. im so agreeing with you about cole being the fave character from everything, but i also understand that this could mean being very unsatisfied with the way he was portrayed at some points or just with the fact that characters like him are rare so im sending you warm and tight hugs and a little sketch!! <3
let's collectively accept the fact that dav gonna be a beautiful mess, we gonna love it (passionately), we gonna be hurt by it (not surprisingly) and COLE FOREVER WILL BE THE BEST DA CHARACTER EVER IM NOT GONNA CHANGE MY MIND FIGHT ME

For Me (Levi Ackerman x Reader)
CHAPTER SEVEN: COLLEAGUES
Over the next 2 weeks you spend a lot of time with Levi. You learn his routine, what he likes to order at restaurants, all that good stuff. However, neither of you have spent the night at each others house. For you, you knew that it would be hard to control yourself if you were in bed with Levi.
Levi enjoys the finer things in life, but not in a stuck-up way. He loves a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant, but also doesn't mind staying in and having a movie night. He works a lot, which makes it so you only see him really at night and on the weekends. It gives you something to look forward to, but it doesn't feel like enough time.
It's Wednesday - half way through the week. Since you and Levi have decided what you're relationship is (more like Levi decided) you haven't gone to the coffee shop much. He's been bringing you coffee before he heads to work, which is a sweet treat for you.
This day is no different.
You hear a knock at your door and open it to see your stoic boyfriend holding your iced coffee and a bouquet of flowers. "You needed fresh ones." He walked into your apartment and took out the old flowers (from last week), cleaned the vase and set up the new bouquet.
You sip your coffee as you watch Levi work the flowers. He meticulously places them and makes sure every flower is tended to. Your eyes wander down his body - he's wearing a navy suit that is perfectly tailored to him with chestnut shoes. "You look very handsome today."
"I have a big meeting today with some potential clients." Levi double checked the flowers. "These are good to go. I'm gonna head out now."
"Have a great day." You smile as Levi takes a step towards you, his eyes swallowing your figure. You're wearing a tank top with no bra, and your comfy short shorts. Your ass basically falls out of them.
"Don't go outside like that." Levi presses his lips to yours, bringing his hand to your face. "This is for me only."
"Okay dad." You roll your eyes, walking him to the door.
"Daddy is the only acceptable form of 'dad' that I'll answer to." His tone was flat, so you couldn't tell if he was kidding or not.
He had to be, right?
"I'll call you when I'm on my lunch." Levi kissed your cheek swiftly before turning around and heading towards the stairs. You lean against your doorframe, still feeling Levi's kiss on your lips. This is really your life. Levi Ackerman is your boyfriend.
You're about halfway through your new novel at this point. You got in touch with your editor to let her know that you'll be sending a draft her way soon. This excites you - it's been months since you had any motivation to write.
As you finish typing a sentence, you feel your phone vibrate in your lap.
"Hello?" You tap the 'speaker' button.
"Why do you always answer the phone like you don't have caller id?" Levi said.
"Because that's just what people do. Sorry we're not all special specimens like you."
"Anyway. Our clients loved us, and the office wants to go out to happy hour to celebrate after work."
"Okay! Have fun. Are you coming over after?"
"You're coming with me. And then we're going home together."
"I missed the part where you asked me if I wanted to go."
"I didn't ask. Be ready by 6." Levi hung up the phone. Sometimes he can be so sweet, but other times it's like he forgets that he has other people to communicate with and we all don't think the way he does.
You sigh, shutting your laptop and pushing it towards the back of your desk. You turn your head to your closet, knowing you'll be tearing it up to find an outfit. You look at the time on your phone: 1:30PM. It's time to start getting ready.
You take an everything shower, making sure there's no hair anywhere on your legs. You moisturize your skin, wash your hair, everything.
This is the first time you're meeting anyone in Levi's circle. Even though he says they're his "colleagues" you know that that's his way of saying friends. You blow dry and curl your hair, watching the curls bounce before you brush them out into loose waves. Your makeup is simply but glowy - your go to.
Your outfit consists of a beige square neck body suit with straight leg jeans that are slightly distressed. You pick out a pair of beige heels to match - they're not too high to where you're uncomfortable but you'll be at Levi's height now.
By the time you're done with everything, it's 5:45. You decide to pick up a bit around your apartment and spray your favorite vanilla perfume.
Right at 6, there's a knock at your door.
"What did I do to deserve seeing Levi Ackerman at my front door twice in one day?" You tilt your head to the side, smiling.
Levi's eyes wandered to your chest, which was accentuated by the neckline of the bodysuit. You have a bigger chest, which you typically hide. You watched Levi's Adam's apple bob as he swallowed. "You look beautiful, per usual. Do you have everything? A bag for stuff you'll need for tonight?"
"Wait, why would I need that?"
"Because you're staying at my house tonight."
"Staying as in..."
"Sleeping over. You're sleeping at my house tonight. With me."
"I didn't know." You bit down on your bottom lip. "Ok, give me a few minutes. Sit down." You turn to grab a tote bag out of your closet and grab your essentials. Toothbrush, makeup remover, a change of clothes, a pair of UGG slippers, pajamas, and body wash. "Done." You hold up the bag with a smile plastered on your face.
Levi nods as he takes the bag from you, turning off the light in your foyer. You lock the door behind you and triple check that its actually locked before you both descend down the stairs.
"So where's happy hour?" You ask as you watch Levi's hands on the steering wheel.
"It's at this bar downtown that everyone likes to go to. I don't go out much, so I've only been there once when I got my promotion."
You nod as he explains, gazing out the window. You feel Levi's large hand land on your thigh, squeezing it gently. "They're going to love you."
"I hope so." It's like he knew exactly what you were feeling. That you were anxious to meet the people that are around him every day because they could think you're not good enough for him. They could have seen ex girlfriends that were prettier than you. Levi rubbed his thumb across your thigh for reassurance.
Levi helped you out of his car before leading you into the building, which was half bar, half restaurant.
"Levi! You made it!" You look up and see a group of people with drinks in your hand. The one that called for Levi was one of the guys that was with Jean when he asked for your number.
"I'm still Mr. Ackerman outside of work." Levi squeezes your hand gently. "This is my girlfriend." Levi introduces you.
"So you're the reason he smiles!" A brunette woman with glasses walks up to you. "My name is Hange. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Likewise!" You shake her hand, smiling.
"This is Erwin, my best friend and President of Ackerman Inc." Levi points to a tall blonde man with piercing blue eyes.
"Nice to meet you. Levi has told me a lot about you." Erwin shakes your hand.
"Not a lot. Don't listen to him." Levi rolls his eyes, introducing you to the rest of his colleagues. "This is my cousin, Mikasa. The one I was telling you about that loves your books. And this is her boyfriend, Eren."
Eren was the one that Levi said to call him Mr. Ackerman. You smile as you meet the couple, noticing the similarities between Levi and Mikasa. They're both very poised and serious at all times.
Levi leaves you for a few moments to mingle. Mikasa grabs your arm gently to get your attention.
"I know my cousin can be an ass." She smiles. "But he really cares about you. He's talked about you and has even cracked a smile while doing so."
"Thanks, Mikasa. I appreciate that. He's not the easiest to deal with." You laugh, glancing over at Levi. He's standing with Erwin and Hange as he waits for drinks at the bar. He doesn't bother asking you what you want to order, since it's always a white wine.
Your nerves calm down a bit when Levi's fingers graze yours to hand you your glass. "You okay? Are you having a good time?"
"Yes, Levi." You take a sip of your wine. "Your friends are nice. I like them."
"Colleagues."
