kyaaaaaaaaaa

mattsun-senpai!!!!!!!

hehe omg y/n who? i only know gigi :”)

but we can give y/n some love for nowwww

SO MATTSUN

uwu yeyyyyyy

we finally getting with mattsun babie!!!!!!!!

aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*cue mattsun brain rot*

also a lil disclaimer: i do not fully remember all the moments i’ve written for mattsun in ALL of my works so if i dont mention it, please PLEASE either message me about it so i can add it or excuse it :(

ogei ANYWAYS

really GOING INTO THE ROUTE THIS TIME

so we’ve done iwa, oiks, and kyo and last but certainly not least, matsukawa issei has finally arrived

there were definitely a lot of chemistry between you and him especially as you were constantly babied by him because of your naturally shorter height

lol but like everyone else is shorter than him tho

you were constantly treated with a cuter teasing and mattsun loved to pick you up all the time

sometimes, you would just be doing normal things like checking off something of the players in your clipboard

when mattsun would come up behind you and wrap his arms around your waist

that was kinda your signal that he wants you to hold him which means you turning around and jumping to his arms where you wrap your legs around his waist and he just holds you

mattsun usually snuggles his face to your neck while, with your arms around his shoulders, you continue to do your duties

at first, it definitely flustered you because you didnt think it would be appropriate to show that much affection in public especially to the team

but mattsun’s puppy eyes (which the others have never seen before by the way even makki) persuaded you

‘come on, y/n-chann,, even great players need to recharge too’

this boy does NOT LET GO THOUGH

he holds on to you and not once does he loosen his grip which prompts you to just stay there with a sigh

‘mattsun-san-’

‘no’

his protests would be muffled because where his face is and you cant help but turn red when he does this since his lips faintly brushes against your skin

ooooooo the boys hate that though

they hate the fact that youve become so accustomed to mattsun holding you and you would just brush it off like it was such a normal thing

like THEY WANT TO CARRY YOU TOO

especially iwa-chan but nahhhh this aint his story so he can move on

there was a part in the recent kuws that i mentioned about the photocards?

remember? granny inko and the cafe?

well, the whole story is this:

you and the team wanted to hang out outside of school and it was summer so the only time yall ever see each other is during practice but thats no fun

so they organized cough cough oikawa forced everyone to meet up at the mall for some ‘quality team bonding time’

originally you were against the idea bc duh this was summer vacation and you really want some peace and quiet and you time, yanno?

but again,

issei’s puppy eyes

CURSE HIM FOR HAVING SUCH BEAUTIFUL EYES

so you ended up going and you were kinda grumbly when you arrived but whew when you saw those boys

my GOD

you may be just their manager but you were a girl too

you know handsome boys when you see them

obviously the other girls in the mall thought so too because they kept staring at the small group and were whispering to themselves

even as you walked and passed some of them, you could make out what they were saying

‘oh my god those guys over there’

‘do you think theyre single?’

‘obviously not!’

‘well it wont hurt to ask, right?’

‘especially that tall one. his eyebrows could do some work but we can change that’

your eye twitched at that comment and you resisted the urge to smack her in the face for even finding a FLAW on your boy’s face

so you sucked in a sharp breath and confidently walked over to the boys, trying to ignore the heated stares the girls and the gays were giving you

it was makki who saw you and he brightened up at the sight of their adorable manager-chan

‘eyo y/n!’

oikawa brightened at this and he would’ve ran straight to you if iwa didnt grab the back of his shirt

STOP HE ISNT WEARING THAT HORENDOUS OUTFIT YOU HEAR ME? HES WEARING SOMETHING DIFFERENT OKAY?

you grinned at them and you naturally found your spot right next to issei, who wrapped an arm around you

his arm was tightly around your shoulder and you instinctively held on to his hoodie to which he noticed but didn’t say anything and just smiled

‘y/n-channn~~~~ come give me a huggie~’

tooru whined and you rolled your eyes

this boy may be a full adult already but his mind structure surely isnt

‘oikawa-san, we’re in public. please refrain from being childish’

he pouted but knew you werent really serious with your scolding

iwa had to herd everyone to the actual mall and they started talking about really weird and random stuff like a recent drama that happened in one store and the one kid who stole something from the other store

‘-was a really expensive shoe! the nerve!’

oikawa tutted and you chuckled

while the others were at the front and just chatting, you strayed behind with mattsun, who still kept you tightly beside him and made small talk with you

‘its really cute seeing you hold on, y/n’

he teased and you flushed but pouted at him

‘hm, you want me to let go then?’

he was quick to refuse but you just laughed and issei rolled his eyes at your silliness

‘as if i would let you go. dummy’

he chided

but he did it with a smile

the kind that every lovesick fool had

the kind that naturally appeared at the sight of a lover

the kind that you reflected

it was a really fun time except for when oikawa started whining and complaining about you and mattsun running off to do your own thing

‘WHAT ARE WE? THIRD WHEELS?!’

tooru accused and you were about to deny but mattsun cracked a smile

‘well, technically, you would be the eighth wheel’

STOP

YOU CACKLED

more like a laugh escaped you but you caught it and disguise it as a cough

kyo and iwa were red while oikawa was just fuming and demanding you to go with him

you couldnt help it

you wanted to hang out with mattsun a lot bc you knew he hasnt had the time to go do something else other than babysit his siblings and he has been down lately with his job and granny

I FORGOT TO MENTION

YOU KNOW GRANNY NOW

holup

get in loser we going on a flashback

FLASHBANG

*poof*

okay

so it was a weekend so there wasnt practice and you were just doing some errands like picking up more bandaids and some candy for natsu and such

but you did it without eating breakfast first so you were starved and you finished around noon

that caused you to go looking around to eat somewhere near

across the road from the shoe store (like a foot locker or sum like that), was a cute little restaurant

it wasnt a typical building and it stood out from the surrounding high rises of the city

the roof was shaped to look like a cottage and the door was quite literally

a front door

the kind you’d find in a normal cottage out in the country

the only thing distinguishing its identity as a restaurant was the sign board outside that mentioned its daily special

‘oooo f/f (favorite food)’

it immediately lured you in and you found yourself even knocking at the door before going in

the inside looked like a normal restaurant but it had a homey feel to it

especially with the grandma who stood at the small table in the front with a gentle smile and a menu

‘just one today, dear?’

she asked and you nodded, grinning

she led you to a table at the corner and told you to pick a drink while you look for food

‘you went shopping in this heat? my my’

you sheepishly smiled at her on top of the menu

‘im a manager of a sports team so i needed to restock on medical supplies’

granny immediately thought of issei as he played a sport and you going out to buy medical things made her heart warm

‘youre a good manager, dear. going out for them at the hottest day of the year’

man, that felt good

sure you were always told by the team how good you were and how much they appreciate you

but hearing it from some completely random stranger made you really really touched

‘well, we wouldnt want to be out of stock just in case someone is really injured’

granny clasped her hands

‘tell you what. you pick whatever drink you want and it’s free’

you started to refuse her and told her that it was fine but she waved you off

‘ill tell issei to take it off your bill so dont worry about it, dearie’

issei?

there are lots of other issei’s in the city so it couldnt be your issei

right?

so you brushed it off and decided that you werent going to win against the old woman and told her what you wanted

when you knew what you wanted to eat, you placed the menu down and looked around the interior of the place

there were pictures of what seemed to look like from years before as the lady in some of them looked like the granny

from pictures of famous people who came here to what looked like just complete strangers

they were all who decorated the walls

then

it caught your eye

a picture, maybe a table down on the right

looked like it could be mattsun

younger, definitely

but still mattsun

‘no way’

you mumbled and as you leaned forward to get a closer look, the granny returned to ask what you wanted

‘what can i get ya today, honey?’

before you could get your order out, you smiled up at her to ask the question

‘by any chance,,, do you, know matsukawa issei?’

you were fully expecting her to say no and continue on

but she lit up and nodded

‘mhm. why?’

you awkwardly laughed

‘oh. um, hes,, just a friend’

granny didnt believe that as she could easily tell what that laugh was but she shrugged it off

‘in fact, hes here right now. hes probably taking an order as we speak but when he comes by i can--- ISSEI!’

she shouted and you jumped

the people around you did too but issei didnt, instead smiling and trotting over

you stared at him, eyes tracing his figure at the sweat running down his exposed forearms and the black tee that stuck to him like second skin which accented his built body

there was redness in his cheeks and he was panting, maybe due to the heat or due to the running around

but

my god

he was beautiful

LAKJSFDLKFJS

HELP MATTSUN BRAIN ROT KICKING IN

it seemed you were too busy with your staring to hear granny as she had to snap you out of it

‘honey?’

you jumped and issei laughed, partly flustered with your stare but find it funny as this was just so you

‘granny, that’s y/n, shes my manager’

you bowed slightly to granny and she started wiggling her finger

as if to remember something

‘y/n,,,, y/n,,,, ive heard that name before’

she said and then came to peer at your face closely

you became self conscious under her stare but she pulled back with a surprise

‘ah! y/n! the one that issei talks about! the one on-!’

before she could finish, issei had the audacity to put his hand on her mouth to prevent her from saying anything else

‘granny’

he warned with gritted teeth but you laughed

‘its alright, mattsun-san. let her continue’

he playfully glared at you but apologized to granny

she gently whacked his arm

‘you need to follow my lead if you ever want her as your girlfriend, issei!’

she scolded which caused you and mattsun to turn red

‘granny, please’

he was starting to get flustered and you were too

thank god she noticed because she stopped then apologized before pushing her and issei back to hide away from you

you raised your hand not because you wanted to talk to issei

but you didnt get to order

dont worry! she came back to take your order but didnt talk anymore about issei

but she did finally start opening up later though

granny came over to give you your bill but noticed your staring at issei

‘oh, dear’

she giggled which made snap you out of it

‘oh!’

you said in surprise but she waved it off

‘youre not the first to do that so its okay, darling’

you sheepishly smiled

‘but issei’s a good looking young man, isn’t he? very much different to his younger self yet very much the same’

your heart became warm at the soft and gentle tone of this grandma

‘he would not be happy with me if i told you this so i will only tell you a fortune. here, have a fortune cookie’

as you broke it and read the message, a snort and a disbelieving gasp was all that came from you

inside

was a fortune

that said

‘the love of your life is right in front of your eyes’

SO YEA THAT WAS HOW YOU MET GRANNY

WE’RE BACK NOW TO PRESENT TIME

so you know granny now and you go visit as much as you can mainly to see her and talk to her but also to watch mattsun work and aksjflakds ugh hes just so hot

but you found out from mattsun that granny has been getting sick lately

this is making him worried and although you havent known her for a while, you noticed that issei is very close to her

she was like his own grandmother

so hearing that she wasnt doing good made you worried and obviously mattsun has been concerned for a while

this outing has helped you distract him from that and just focus on you and the team today

well,,,

mainly you

but we aint gonna talk about that

you and issei slipped away a lot from the others like going to a candle and scent shop or to a sports good store

but it didnt matter where you both went bc as long as you had each other, it would be fun

you were both currently at a clothing store that you randomly went in and were now picking clothing for each other

‘issei? can you look at me?’

he had a smile on his face mainly because you called him by his first name

you didnt even notice and was too busy looking between his body and the shirt

‘hmmm no too plain’

you continued looking at clothing but mattsun continued looking at you

god, call him by his first name again and he will go feral

like deadass stride over there and kiss you till youre out of breath type of feral

aklsdfjalksdjf

in the end, you both got clothing for each other and were told to try it on then come out when youre ready

you stood behind the curtain, giggling

‘okay, mattsun-san! on 3! 2! 1!’

you pulled back the curtain and issei stared at you, eyes glued on you

his taste in clothing may be incredible

but you

you made it better

you made those clothes look like they were honored to be worn by you

you were just so

wow

you felt small under his stare and twirled around

‘so? how do i look?’

he didnt respond, instead slowly stepping forward

and forward

and you didnt move

until he was right in front of you with the tips of his toes touching yours

his tall height made him have to bend down to look at you but you had no problem in looking up at him

there were no words exchanged

just passionate eyes clashing with each other

you really were about to just kiss then there

BUT

THERES ALWAYS A BUT

kindaichi shouted for your name at the end of the hallway of dressing rooms

‘Y/N! THERE YOU ARE!’

ngl, mattsun seemed irritated

you watched as he closed his eyes and looked away to clench his jaw

you giggled and pushed some hair behind his ear

‘youre cute’

mans switched up so fast and he smiled softly

‘no you’

help kindaichi is just like -_-

you guys ended up paying for the clothes and finally went to go and meet up with the othersd

kindaichi was all red in the fact after he realized that he interrupted an,,,, intimate,, moment and stayed away from mattsun after he got glared at aldkfjd

the team didnt really say anything else as everyone d i d go on their own ways and do their own shopping

there was one time that kyo did try to whisk you away but like this aint his route and uwu if you want to read his, its right here

it must’ve been a few hours since yall arrived so everyone has been wanting to go and grab something to eat

since the mall was kinda like half outdoor and half indoor, you and the guys were walking outside to see the different restaurants

while laughing and talking down a sidewalk, oikawa gasped suddenly

duh everyone halted and looked around

‘what’

iwa asked and oikawa pointed at the sky

‘look! sunset!’

tooru loves sunsets and just the sky period so he was wanting to get a picture of the sky for his ‘collection’

everyone ended up having an impromptu photoshoot with yall having pictures with each other to mark this memory

thank god akira brought his polaroid

cry for his film

you asked for a turn in the camera and excitedly ran over to mattsun after taking a picture with yahaba

‘issei! lets take a picture!’

he detangled himself from makki’s arm and came over to you

‘sure sure’

issei was smiling and you happily asked makki to take the picture for you

‘how do you want me, babygirl’

you thought about it before gesturing to mattsun’s back

‘imma jump! can i jump?’

he giggled cute and nodded

‘cmere’

you squealed when he pretended to drop you but his strong hands were firm on your thighs

he made you feel safe

your arms were wrapped around his neck and makki counted down

‘3!’

‘2!’

‘1!’

*chick*

you asked for one more for you so therefore you guys had one polaroid each

‘thank you!!’

you thanked makki for his service while mattsun stared lovingly at the picture

you were smiling so wide

and so happily

his face was equal to yours and the background completed the polaroid

truly a moment captured in camera

i think that mattsun definitely was in love with you but he didnt really realize it immediately or have that ‘oh shit!’ moment bc,,,

i dunno

hes weird like that

so it def took him a while to understand

but he understood it during that one time

referenced in manager!seijoh part 5

you were both left in the gym to clean up bc everyone had something to do like oiks had to go home bc takeru got sick and iwa also got sick and you just volunteered to clean up and mattsun stayed behind

you were sweeping the floor and you unconsciously started humming as you swept and started swaying a little

mattsun heard you as he pushed the carts and watched as you just swayed and twirled around and he found himself smiling at you

you noticed him stop in front of you and he bowed down, holding out a hand

‘may i take this dance, m’lady’

you laughed

‘what? whats going on?’

he softly held your hand and pulled you to him

‘you were dancing and i wanted to join you’

you nodded and looked up at him, eyes half-lidded

‘stand on my feet, chibi-chan. i can lead while you sing’

it was a random song you heard from the radio earlier but you complied while he moved with your feet on his

you giggled when he would lean down to softly kiss your forehead and shriek when he would unexpectedly dip you down

either way, at 8:34 PM, you and mattsun danced under the gym lights with no witness except you and him

issei laid on his bed that night, thinking about you and the possibilities of a future with you

your pretty smile

that adorable thing you do when youre nervous

or the struggle that shows in your face whenever you hid your excitement

gosh, he would love for your child to have that smile

alkjfdlkafk

mattsun suddenly sat up on bed, furiously blushing and beet red at that thought

of course, it made him confused at why he was thinking of you like that and in that way but as he thought about it some more,,,

he didnt think that wouldnt be a bad idea

it actually sounded nice

having a small family in a small house, dogs running around your feet, sunday morning pancake rituals, wednesday movie nights that the kids would fight over

gosh

then he was like, maybe,,,

i like that

is that normal?

is it normal to think about that stuff with your friend, even liking it?

lol mattsun darling, you like her

thats how he came to his predicament with unsure feelings

he was in no way denying it or anything

but he was confused

mattsun is the type of guy that wants to be sure and get his shit sorted out and put together before involving you because he doesnt want to just suddenly be unsure and hurt you

he went to granny

he has like 5 year old siblings so he couldnt just ask them for help

OH RIGHT HE HAS SIBLINGS

okay so lemme go back to granny

he came into work that early morning with eyebags on his face which made granny worry so she pulled him to break room to talk to him

mattsun kept telling her he was fine but she gently hit his arm to look at her

‘look at that! ‘sei! youre not alright! please, if you can, talk to me? hm?’

help i love granny

issei sighed

‘theres this girl. her name’s y/n and,,, i dont know what to do’

he mumbled and granny hummed

‘i was right. you have woman troubles, sei?’

he nodded

‘i like her, like a lot, but i dont know if i love her. i dont even know what love is, im too young to really know it so i cant surely and fully say i love her when i dont understand the meaning. and say i do something about my feelings. what then? we date? but i dont want to date just because i like her and wait it out until that feeling fades away. i want to seriously be with her but i dont know if im ready for that yet- wait, no i think i a m ready but i don’t think im capable to love someone as good as her’

granny felt sad for issei as long ago, she did have trouble with her feelings and knows exactly the struggles of self-worth compared to someone she was in love with

‘you know, sei, no one truly knows how to love’

mattsun’s eyes moved from the floor to granny’s kind smile

‘we all learn as we go and sure, we make mistakes. but sticking together and going through it together is what makes it love. no matter what age or gender, as long as someone has been shown and given love, it’s only natural for that to be reciprocated. love doesnt need to be understood, love needed to be felt’

my god socrates who?

she shakily patted his head even though he had to bend slightly

‘as for being ready and being capable, you never know until you try. no amount of preparation is going to help you unless you actually do it. a child would never learn how to walk if they don’t lunge for those first steps. and besides, this girl, miss y/n, would be grateful to have someone like you either way. you may not see your own goodness but everyone else does, remember that’

so in a way, granny was who made issei realize

she was right

love didnt need to be understood

love needed to be felt

and he did

he felt love with you

he felt love for you

he may have not realized it then, but dancing in the middle of the gym floor, no music but your humming, he felt peace

peace

love

love was peace

no,

love is peace

love is home

he felt home

with you

after that, issei couldnt stop being away from you

no matter where and what, he was always there and you loved spending every moment with him

you were grateful for his presence as he was the only one who made you feel a sense of peace amidst the chaos of the team

and thus created a deeper bond

even at the earliest buttcrack of the morning,

you would be with issei

like when he couldnt sleep and everyone else in the house is, he would sneak out and go over to yours

you were up late, just laying there because you had a feeling that told you to stay awake

and that feeling was right

because your phone dinged and it was a text from mattsun

ma(tt)sun: baby bear, come down <3

you sat up quickly, grinning because you always loved being with him

mattsun made you feel safe

he was someone who didnt hesitate to offer his help and brought you back down when you started feeling out of sync with reality

he was just different from everyone else

maybe thats why you really liked him

you tip-toed out of your house and in a hoodie and sweatpants with disheveled hair, you ran to meet mattsun by your gate

help natsu is standing by the window with a mug of coffee bc your feet creaks the entire house awake

mattsun stared at you as you ran to him with your wide smile and rugged appearance

was it your hair?

a new style?

or a new hoodie?

or was it just because you were smiling?

or was it your bright eyes?

something made you extra beautiful tonight

‘hey hey’

you quietly greeted and he grinned, wrapping an arm around your shoulders

instantly, you burrowed into his chest and mattsun felt his heart beating faster

your perfume filled his nostrils

wow

he loves that smell

you both stood there, just embracing each other until a sudden chill of wind broke you apart

‘whats up, mattsun-san?’

you asked and he peered down at you

‘i had an intuition. ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen,,,, telepathy thing, remember?’

he joked and you laughed

‘yes. you were right, mattsun-san’

‘so lets go? the shop’s closed but the convenience store isnt’

so you both ate a cup ramen in 3 in the morning at a corner store

you both couldnt stop laughing and giggling and passerbys may think yall were drunk

‘hey, call me by my first name’

mattsun asked and you nodded

‘okay. issei?’

sure hes heard it before at the time in the mall where you subconsciously called him that but you actually knowingly calling him by his first name made his entire body warm up

‘u-uh, actually, maybe not, maybe dont. dont call me that’

he stuttered, suddenly feeling shy and watching as he stirred his soup around

you laughed

‘issei? issei? issei?’

you were feeling really playful tonight, maybe because of the late food or food drunkenness but you were teasing him

you even stood up and getting all up on his face, calling him by his first name because you knew how he reacted to it

‘issei? issei? issei! isse-’

you froze

he was

oh my god

what

he was

Y/N WHAT WAS HE DOING

here he was

at let’s see,,,,,

3:14? 3:14 and 25 seconds?

at 3:14:25 AM on a tuesday morning, matsukawa issei kissed you for the first time

‘i told you to not call me that, didnt i? bad girl’

HELP IMMA CRY

OKAY BYE

lets just say it was awkward

like really really

awkward

we not going to talk about how you literally malfunctioned and left him alone there since you ran all the way back home

natsu was watching tv at the living room bc he couldnt sleep but just as he was nodding off, the door loudly slammed shut

this boy fell off the couch, startled, and was about to run when he saw you, darting in to the living room

he watched you pace back and forth with your hand over your mouth

your face was really really red and your ears could be blowing steam right now

and your eyes were blown wide and he was really worried

natsu scrambled off the floor and grabbed you with hands on your arms

‘did he hurt you? that guy earlier. tell me right now, did he hurt you? touch you? i will kill him, just tell me whats wrong, dont worry i know where to hide his body just tell me and we’ll handle it ourselves, okay? so-’

he rambled but you waved your hands

‘no! no! god no! isse-no, mattsun! mattsun would never!’

you shrieked

girl please, your parentals are tryna sleep

no but they really are still asleep how the heck-

‘so whats wrong? why did you come in here looking like this?’

natsu furrowed his eyebrows and you quickly tried to calm him down

‘theres nothing wrong! really! well,, something did happen, bUT! nothing bad happened! i swear!’

he didnt quite believe you but if something happened, you would be sobbing right now so at least he was assured you werent taken advantaged of

mans thought he finally had a use for his baseball bat

too bad

in a few hours was school and you contemplated on how to face mattsun

the entire time you were getting ready, you were worried on what to do

should you avoid him?

talk to him?

pretend nothing happened?

well,,,

thats what he did

just as you were about to talk to him, issei walked up to you like nothing happened

‘y/n-chan!’

he grinned and you awkwardly smiled and waved

was he acting like nothing happened?

‘mattsun-san, about what happened earlier-’

‘hm? nothing happened, though?’

help why is he like this

you stopped

okay

sure we can continue like that

so you did

you smiled at him and waved it off

‘oh um, nothing! nothing at all!’

oh no

mattsun was sweating buckets

he fully intended on talking to you and sorting it out today but he panicked and just took plan d

he skipped plan a, b, and c

he went straight to d

wait

no nvm thats not appropriate alkdfjalsdkfj

mattsun was scared

he was scared of what you would say and outright reject him

he knew it was impulsive and shouldnt have happened but he didnt regret it

but he would start to regret it if you would directly turn him down and he really cannot handle that emotionally

and then the friendship would become awkward bc now you know he likes you and you would start to overthink and you would become uncomfortable with each other so you guys would drift away and the team would start asking questions and now it would be awkward around them too and aaaaaa

disclaimer: this is matsukawa issei’s brain

so if acting like nothing happened would do it, then he will

it was going good

everything felt normal and you guys were as close as before

late night ramen runs were still happening and you still stuck around him as much

and then it happened

it was during a movie night hang out with the team at iwa’s house bc everyone goes to iwa’s house akdjlkf

you and the team were scattered around the living room but naturally, you were next to issei on the couch

it started from 2 pm to what was now nearing 11 pm

this time, it was oikawa’s turn to pick the movie as he finally won rock paper scissors

of course, my mans oikawa chose a rom com but it had a sad ending

“Always Be My Maybe”

it was a movie about childhood best friends who suffer from skinny love and desperately trying to show each other that theyre in love with the other but their insecurities and doubt drove them apart into a new lover’s arms

help i just came up with this movie and the one i looked up online didnt really fit into the plot but like i dunno i havent watched it kadsjfl

‘kawa, why are we watching a sad movie?’

iwa grumbled but he pushed the play button anyways

‘well,, i think its a movie we can all learn from’

no because oikawa is trying to help mattsun and you since he is tired of the constant longing stares

oikawa totally knows that’s self-subotaging but hes not ready for that conversation

ngl, for a team of grown men, you would doubt a rom com/sad movie wouldnt move them but by the end, as the two lovers met a decade later and walked away for the final time towards their respective partners, everyone bawled

‘noooo!!!!!!’

oikawa cried, glomping himself to iwa’s shoulder, who was sniffling and wiping his tears with the collar of his shirt and patting his friend’s back

everyone else was sobbing and you were no better

mattsun wasnt hardcore crying but he did have a few tears slip

with all the crying, you felt your throat getting dry so you stood up

‘i-imma go and get water’

you excused yourself and quickly ran out to the kitchen

god why were you crying this hard?

youve literally watched hachi yet you didnt cry this hard

but why with this one?

were the actors that good?

the plot?

or was it because of how similar your situation was?

being desperately in love with your best friend?

and him throwing the only opportunity for you to tell him?

you hunched over the sink and you hiccuped, trying to desperately wipe away the tears and practicing how to get your breathing even

while you were in your dilemma in the kitchen, mattsun stared at your spot next to him

that movie, he definitely knew oikawa was up to something

but he would think about that later

right now, he was too busy freaking out

that movie was like a wake up call for him

all that overthinking and avoiding the subject and self-depricating thoughts of denial of why you would love someone like him

if he didnt do something, that could be him to you

sure the circumstances werent the same as he was the only one pining wrong but either way he didnt want that

that movie was like a prediction or a glimpse of his future

watching you in the arms of someone else, maybe a family

the little girl that was supposed to have his messy wild hair and your eyes

were now morphing into someone else

the someone else who was man enough to even ask you out for coffee

and snatched your heart right under his nose

that thoroughly scared him which caused him to stand up quickly, scaring kindaichi who was next to his feet

issei maneuvered himself towards the kitchen with the only thought in his head

be. honest.

he found you hunched over the sink, gripping the sides

his heart reached out to you

‘y-y/n? um, i have something to say-to tell you’

he fumbled

you jumped at his voice and frantically tried to calm yourself

you awkwardly laughed

‘w-what is it, mattsun? im literally sobbing on a sink right now, can it wait until im mentally stable-’

‘no. i-i need to say it now. or ill chicken out’

you turned around and the sight of him made more tears spring up

‘well? say it’

you encouraged and he took a deep breath

love is peace.

love is home.

if he wants you, he needs to say it now

‘i dont know,, i dont know how to say this in a way that makes sense but-um-i like you. wait-! like! i like you, a lot. like the kind that,, im in love. im in love with you, i love you and everything about you, even that thing you do while you eat bUT thats besides the point!’

he rambled and you started rapidly gasping for air because oh my god

this was it

he was confessing

he took a step forward and you made no move to stop him

he looked into your eyes

‘youre the sun in my galaxy and the peaceful home of my world. i cant lose you to somebody else like that lady, i just cant. even if i get rejected, i want to go knowing i tried my best. i dont want to look back on this and think about the what ifs or the maybes. i cant let you be my maybe, y/n. so if you’ll have me, i will tell you everyday that everything i feel about you, i havent felt before. but its good. its the best feeling. i dont understand it or have a meaning to it but i dont care. because you make me feel happy, safe, peaceful. i may not be able to give you the world but i will spend every day of my life trying. because i love you.

i love you, l/n y/n’

HELP IM CRYING BYE

you were shocked

his words made you lose grip on what was true and what was fantasy

you spent hours late at night, imagining him say that he loved you

and now it was happening, because of some movie oikawa put on

so you start laughing both in joy and relief

god the things you want to say

but you cant

because you were too happy and too excited to interrupt this moment

however

issei interpreted this as you rejecting him

he thought you were surprised and shocked, maybe even scared

issei was starting to get embarrassed bc you were laughing so you must be laughing at him and how stupid he sounded

that split second of bravery was now gone as his fear was back

but this time, in ultimate mode

he couldnt even say anything else so he was about to turn and run

but you sensed him about to run away

so you grabbed the first thing you could

his sweatpants string pulled him straight to you and this time, you kissed him

his eyes were wide and he really felt like he was now slipping into hallucinations

wasnt this part of the stages of grief?

but no

the softness of your lips

the warmth pressed against his own

the arms around his neck and the waist his arms were around

they all felt so real

because maybe

it is real

maybe, you feel the same way

maybe, his feelings were reciprocated

maybe,

just maybe,

you loved him too

oikawa and the team were peaking over the couch and they were all both crying and celebrating because finally

you guys were together

but that meant you werent theirs anymore

oikawa patted himself on the back because once again,

oikawa tooru saves the day

they all pretended to be surprised when you guys announced your relationship

like the surprised dude in that one painting

the scream, i think

ALSO

GRANNY

oh my gosh she was so happy

you finally came back to the cafe but this time with issei

she was wiping the counter and was about to greet a customer when you walked in, with issei’s arm around your shoulders

‘issei’

she whispered

‘hey, baa-chan’

he greeted and you bowed slightly

she rushed to greet you both at the front

‘youre supposed on your day off’

she mumbled but issei shrugged

‘we wanted to tell you first’

he grinned shyly

you shook her hand but granny pulled you into her arms

‘you are now my family!’

she exclaimed, squeezing you

she may be 80 something old but that lady still has arms of steel

‘take care of him, darling’

she whispered to your ear as she hugged you

‘i will, i promise’

granny rushed to seat you both and she pulled out a chair

‘oh i am so happy!’

you felt happy too

granny was someone important to issei, even more than his own parents as he quickly took you to meet granny again

‘thank you so much, baa-san’

you thanked and she waved it off

‘please! if anything, i should thank you! he really scored a pretty one, didnt he? my gosh, im so relieved. i have been worried issei wouldnt find a girlfriend because hes too busy working or fussing over me!’

issei stood up

‘reminds me, baa-chan. it’s noon. ill get your arthritis meds’

he just wanted to rush out of there

once he was gone, granny leaned close

‘i have known issei since he was only 14. he wanted to work and i gave him a spot but that little boy refused to leave until i had to kick him out! he dedicates himself into things that he finds most valuable. in all my years knowing him, he has never been so dedicated to anything until he met you, y/n’

she whispered but you felt shy

she was telling you everything

‘he’s practically my grandchild. i was so worried, that he would put everyone else before himself but you are the one that made him think about himself, for a change. that poor boy came to me not knowing what he was feeling because it’s the first time issei really asked himself what he wanted. and he has found that he wants to be with you and he loves you. he loves you more than his mind can really process. so im thankful for you, y/n. youre really, really important to issei and i wish you all the beautiful and hope-filled years to come’

you felt tears pricking your eyes as she bowed a little

‘though i have a favor’

she asked and you nodded

‘anything’

‘make my issei smile, hm? no matter what, protect that smile and make sure he never loses it’

we’re not gonna discuss about granny’s age and her death bc we dont do sad stuff in this one so we’re gonna pretend she lives forever, okay?

SO ONWARDS TO TIMESKIP

as usual, this is around olympics era timeskip

so thats like 9 years?

you and issei have been married since you graduated high school because this guy cannot wait

he waited 3 years he cannot wait any longer

so now, you guys got a little family

issei was over the moon when you both had a girl bc it was the little girl he thought about having with you

then a son

and later, you are expecting another one

help why is y/n always pregnant in the routes what

except for kawa’s

in one of them

lol ;)

so back to olympics

you and issei held tightly to a child since there were so many people in the stadium

there were pictures everywhere and posters of the players but mainly team japan

himari was tightly clutching issei’s hand as the 9-year-old was unfamiliar to such crowded places

you later decided it was a bad idea to bring a newborn to something as chaotic as the games but didnt make that decision until you were already at the stadium

so you tightly held hiroto on the baby chest carrier thing

he was only 3 months old so he was still as his sleeping phase but he was the kind that refused to wake up no matter how noisy it was

so you were lucky there

‘ah, where is everyone? iwa told us to meet him here’

mattsun mumbled and you rubbed his arm

‘he’s probably lost in the sea of people like we are, sei’

he hmphed until himari gasped

‘uncle kawa!’

she pointed ahead and there he was, oikawa tooru with his blue san juan jersey

the man towered over a lot of people and his short brown hair jumped with each step

‘mari-chan! toto-chan! mattsun! y/n-chan!’

he shouted and you smiled while mattsun glared at him

‘god, youre still so loud, oikawa’

he complained and tooru was about to complain when mari stomped on her dad’s foot

‘kawa is not loud, papa. he has to shout because it’s so noisy’

she defended and oikawa had a smug look

‘as expected of my darling, goddaughter’

he praised and raised her to his arms

mattsun turned to look at you

‘why couldnt makki have been her godfather instead?’

‘hey!’

offended, oikawa whined but he was cut off with a hand to his head

the only person who would do that was

‘iwa-san!’

you exclaimed and he grinned, going to give you a hug but he noticed the baby on your chest

‘oops. little man on the way, here’

iwa gave you an awkward yet warm hug

‘wheres the others?’

mattsun asked and iwa jutted his head to the side

‘already at the cafe. what took you guys so long?’

mattsun rolled his eyes but grinned

‘its not like y/n just popped out a baby from her va-’

‘issei, say another word and youre going to be in one of your coffins’

you threatened, a smile on your face while fixing your son’s wild curly hair

‘ah, y/n-chan still has her tongue’

the others cheered when you arrived and makki made a beeline towards the hiroto

‘oh! hiro-kun!’

he sang but you placed a finger to your lips

‘oh, hes asleep?’

you nodded

makki hunched over his head and poked the exposed nose

‘hello, hiro-kun’

he whispered

nononononono i cannot be getting soft for hanamaki takahiro right now

hiro sensed that his godfather was near because he shifted and raised one eye open

you softly smiled and gently pulled him out of his carrier

‘wanna go to takahiro?’

not you and issei naming your son after makki because you knew makki probably wouldnt get married and your son is his only chance of fulfilling his dream of having a son named after him

you and others caught up with each other as everyone was now in different parts of the country or even the world

kyo was now a completely different person from before as he was even playing with mari and oikawa was making grabby hands at the other baby

‘makki!!! my turn!!!’

makki glared at him before sighing

‘okay. you go to tooru now, hm?’

he placed the baby bottle down on the table and got up to go over to where tooru sat so he could give away the baby

‘he just ate so hold him like this, oikawa’

he taught oikawa how to hold the baby but oiks pouted

‘you know i stayed with y/n-chan and mattsun when mari was born? so i know how to hold a baby, makki-!’

‘*bleh*’

everyone stopped as hiroto made a burp sound shortly followed with a slightly disgusting sound

tooru froze, hands still on the baby’s bottom and back

his eyes twitched and you and issei huddled to keep your giggles in

‘did he-’

‘yep’

iwa grimaced as he looked over to his friend’s shoulder

the expensive and premium jersey

now stained with baby throw up

‘hey, at least he didnt-’

as kindaichi started, there was a foul smell that engulfed the area

there on tooru’s right hand, was a stinky baby butt

was he

holding

a dirty diaper

right now?

oikawa screamed

a/n: help i have started going to the gym and its so hard but i keep thinking about iwa being a physical trainer and im just like, ‘well, i gotta pretend iwa is here and look good’, please thats the only way im able to push myself during that 20 minutes on the treadmill

ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH DANGO ANON OR KNOWN AS @fushigurohearts FOR GIVING ME SO MANY IDEAS AND LORE AND I JUST LOVE YOU BAE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING

nct dream x hogwarts

nct dream as hogwarts students // 2.3k words // masterlist // send requests here

r e n j u n

the only slytherin in the gang

probably muggle-born but also top of most of his classes

what can he say hes amazed by this shit

really good at theory-based subjects especially

history of magic is his bitch lets be real

sketches in his books and stuff

says he likes sketching with quills the most because theyre more aesthetic

donghyuck says its because hes pretentious

but the whole group pitched in to get him some really nice canvases and paints and other tools

one of his paintings is hanging in the school somewhere, and the little girl in it smiles and greets all the students as they walk past

somehow she always tries to spit on people who had been annoying him recently - and them only

sometimes she spits on Donghyuck for no reason

jeno laughs and says its because she has a crush on him

uses magic for the dumbest things just because he can

he mastered the wingardium leviosa spell within a week because he couldn't be bothered getting up to get things

when he gets close to graduation, hes pretty much practicing simple wandless magic

once freaked out the first years because jaemin charmed a storm cloud to hang around him for an entire day

it flashed lightning when he got particularly annoyed, which was a lot because that cloud was annoying as shit

has a really old owl that literally looks evil but has called it something like “snuggles”

laughs when he unintentionally swoops too low and skims other students’ heads on mail day

buys all his friends gifts during the holidays and comes back with bags filled with fun shit

pretends he never buys gifts for chenle and jisung

always ends up giving them more

cause hes soft like that

but he headlocks them after to show his dominance

has a habit of throwing his cases in the general direction of the dorm when he comes back from holidays and accidentally hitting other students

plays quidditch in his free time

debates strategies with Jeno during their free periods

gets called a traitor by his own captain

couldnt really give a shit about his own team, he prefers to support his friends

wears his school uniform properly and is the only one in the group who does so

j e n o

a Gryffindor

probably quidditch captain

and dubbed the best player on the team

super humble about it too

always commends his team for doing their best when they lose and every member loves him a lot

the captain that's always saying stuff like “it doesn't matter how this game ends... as long as we try our hardest and play as a team”

the entire team rolls their eyes at his cheesiness but the lack of pressure keeps them at ease

and majority of the time they play really well

though its clear his focus is on quidditch, he still does really well in his classes

cant cook but is somehow rlly good at potions??

likes all the really tiny creatures in care of magical creatures

and they like him too

has a slightly damaged snitch that he carries around with him at all times

one of the wings broke during his first ever game of quidditch and he never got rid of it

he keeps it in the pocket of his robes and fiddles with it when he's anxious about something

has a really good poker face when he's stressed and you'd never know until you hear the soft clicking of his hand playing with it in his pocket while he studies

has a terrible poker face when something confuses him though

during class its so obvious when he doesnt get something

renjun once charmed question marks to hang around his head and everyone in the class died laughing

even jeno

overall great sense of humour

he brought a cat

of course

and its always getting him into trouble for wandering into the off-limits areas of the castle or into the restricted section of the library

once jaemin joked that the cat was actually an animagus that was purposely trying to get him in trouble

and jeno was spooked for like a week

wouldn't let the cat sleep on his bed and almost had a heart attack when he saw it wandering the halls between classes

but there was nothing wrong with the cat

shes just a curious girl

had a major glow-up between 6th and 7th year and everyone fell in love with him lmao

like everyone knew he was fit from quidditch but they didnt know he was that fit you know

heartthrob

d o n g h y u c k

an annoying brat

at least when he first arrived at Hogwarts in first year

has really good intentions though

everyone thought he would get sorted into Slytherin

like the second he stepped on the train and found his way into mark lee’s compartment everyone was like this kid has GOT to be a Slytherin

but no! hufflepuff

true fullsun

used to be a beater on the quidditch team but he was forced to quit until he got his grades up

but he ended up commentating because he couldnt play

and who can actually talk that fast other than the lee donghyuck

and actually found that he enjoyed that more

so even when his grades were t h r i v i n g

he stayed as a commentator

absolutely hilarious and everyone loves him for it

is Not afraid to call out foul plays

mutters quick apologies to the professors when they scold him but does it again later anyway

tbh is actually really popular

known for being dared to stand on the Slytherin table and sing at the top of his lungs

and actually doing it

he got two weeks detention

“worth it” - donghyuck, circa. 2019

has a talent for defence against the dark arts

acts like the smartest person in the room during that class

hes lowkey right tho

(don't tell him)

wears his tie way too loose and constantly gets told off about it

promises professors he’ll fix it then walks away and just,,, doesnt

his Hufflepuff scarf hangs off his bed frame back home

had a toad for his first few years of hogwarts but the toad ended up passing away so now he has a really troublesome owl

the owl itself is a good boy, flies fast and efficiently, but has a nasty habit of pecking donghyuck when hes hungry

“but hes hungry all the time” he whines when jaemin explains the bird’s just hungry. meanwhile, jaemin’s owl is sitting softly beside him, her eyes closed as he pets her

every first day back from holidays hyuck has red lines on his hands, arms and ears from the owl

chenle says its for giving the poor bastard a terrible name

donghyuck never actually refers to his owl by his proper name, always things like “bastard” and “dipshit”

theres a conspiracy theory about the owl’s real name and no one in their group will spill the secret

complains that the animals in care of magical creatures like him more than his own pet

“lol tru” - Chenle

j a e m i n

ravenclaw’s biggest flirt and most popular student

probably didnt even want to run for house captain but still got the position

theres a rumour that he was offered head boy but he turned it down

was the first one to find the kitchens and claimed it as the unofficial hang out spot for their group

if you’re ever missing jaemin, he’s probably in the kitchens chatting up the elves and stealing food every now and then

carries snacks with him everywhere for when he needs to comfort one of his babies house members

literally all the younger year levels feel so comfortable coming to him with their problems

has no issue with staying up in the common room to talk through things with someone

is known to walk people to their classes and then bolt to his own classrooms so hes not late

50% of the school is already in love with him

he was given the angel reputation back in first year and it hasn't let him down

is kind of a troublemaker tho

teases his classmates and even some professors that he has a good relationship with

really really loves transfiguration

probably wants to become an animagus

also wants to be an auror

absolutely loves defence of the dark arts

his owl is white and regal

like genuinely beautiful

she always looks like shes happy to see you

just like her owner uwu

he named her something sweet and meaningful

when Renjuns owl isnt able to fly, jaemin’s owl is eager to take Renjuns mail back to his family for him

wears his jumper all year round

its a good look though,, no ones complaining

was on the quidditch team up until his final year

he dropped it to focus on his studies and also being house captain

it takes him forever to go anywhere because he stops to talk to everyone

somehow knows everyone in school

even the third years in other houses??

runs errands for teachers with a smile

offers to buy food when the group goes out

c h e n l e

another muggleborn

but fits in so well

like the boy is just a natural at magic

unfortunately it doesnt always transfer into his grades

he has such a great interest in everything,,, just not on what hes learning

learnt fourth year history of magic in his first year but still almost failed his exam at the end of year

also hes the best other hufflepuff in the group

didnt understand quidditch for at least a year

ended up in the team in second year and is actually really good

probably the goalie

has the loudest laugh in school

the older professors claim they can hear him from the other side of the castle

somehow gets his hands on all the coolest magic stuff

has the marauders map no doubt

bought himself an invisibility cloak to mess with his friends

makes his professors laugh a lot

fist bumps everyone in school istg

like chenle w h y

really good at muggle studies too

made sure to select it as a subject the entire time he was at hogwarts as a slack class

doesnt really study and then feels threatened when someone gets a mark close to his

studies his butt off for the next test to maintain his status as top rank

definitely had a rat first year because he thought they were cool

and also because he knows rats can be pets like ??? wyd with owls you guys ??? shouldn't they be out in the wild or smth??

was super depressed when he found out how short the lifespans of rats were

ended up having to buy an owl in third year because rip nugget 2k15 :((

his owl is Small

thought it would be funny to call it renjun

but then renjun wouldnt talk to him for almost a week

visits the owlery at least once a week during his free periods to check on his owl

collects his thoughts up there

also rlly likes feeding the owls

sometimes steals Jeno’s cat

catch him in his dorm studying on his bed with Jeno’s cat sleeping in his lap

chenle claims its because the cats like the warm greenhouse vibe the Hufflepuff dorm has going on

but the real reason he bribed the cat into loving him when he first met it

probably was the one to lead the cat to the off-limits areas of the castle

j i s u n g

Gryffindors best seeker to date

kinda shy but is rlly admired by everyone

likes to piss jeno off by missing practice every two practices to study

but low-key hes so good he doesnt really have to go at all

doesnt want a career in quidditch but is constantly reminded he could have one if he wanted it

easily the most popular boy in his year

got asked out a few times this year and awkwardly rejected them all in the nicest way possible

he has a cat thats just as long and skinny as he is

jeno likes to call it sungie and it now responds to that name

enjoys care of magical creatures but very hesitant towards the creatures

but because of his care and precaution, the animals all really love him lmao

gets really soft around them now

seriously oblivious to his admirers tho

chenle once said if the triwizard tournament was to be brought back jisung would be the one to be chosen

has lived in fear ever since

okay jokes

boy could totally win

the only one in the group who has attempted and can successfully perform wordless magic

he knows way too many jinxes and charms off the top of his head that he can easily jinx you without even uttering a word

once was studying in the great hall when one of his friends teased him about rejecting someone and without looking up from his book he just lifted his wand and waved it, jinxing the apple in his friend’s hand to bite him

got detention but honestly the professor was so pleased with his progress it was only a one hour session

has a lot of sass

evidently

never Fully awake at breakfast

always looks really good in the evenings tho

he comes down to breakfast with his tie half undone and the top button of his shirt open

undoes the top buttons when he’s stressed too

professors love having him as a student

especially because they know he hangs out with jaemin

but the fact that he was in renjun and Donghyuck and Chenle’s group was enough for them to be wary

but hes the perfect blend of fun and focused in lessons

likes studying outside in summer

enjoys walking around school grounds during the holidays

Note

So since pretty much everyone agrees that Tim needs a name change, and I think most people dislike the first two RR costumes (I dislike the pretty much Robin one too, because it seems like he hasn’t accept losing Robin, when I feel a lot of his comics right after Bruce W died was about that?) which leads me to: What do you think Tim’s costume would look like if he got a good outfit, and what name?

o yeah i was not a fan of the cowl. and the n52 design is just… so busy and excessively accessorised (excessorised???) - i drew it a couple times for this project im workin on and the whole process was me squinting at reference panels and whispering softly but passionately “what the fuck” - and i agree on the rebirth RR design, it looks more derivative of dick and jasons retconned robin costumes than inspired by tims og 80s design (however. the unternet costume - its simple and appealing and clearly nightwing-inspired and i am a fan, also the giant scythe/halberd/mace thing was so ridiculous i loved it)

which is why i thank pat gleason for my life bc tims new outfit is such a good modernisation of his original robin design. so i mean to answer ur question i think tim has a p good design right now (although not for long i guess since they announced hed get a new look/codename soon) BUT if i were in charge of debuting a new design and name… hm……….

whatever his new name is, it’d preferably have something to do with wherever his personal storyline is headed, which i dont know, and for all my complaining abt how red robin is a shit name i dont actually have great alternatives lol. i did see somewhere the suggestion for the name “Cardinal” which i dont hate, so ill use that as a placeholder for now (although “Halcyon” is an interesting option)

tangentially, my personal preference for his robin graduation would be a miniseries featuring tim and damian both as robin, begrudgingly having to work together to fight some greater enemy and becoming true brothers along the way. ending with tim giving damian his blessing to be robin (a post-mantle blessing but still) with the first amicable passing on of the robin title literally ever

as for Look: his new design should a) accurately reflect his character b) mesh well with whatever tone his personal storyline is going for c) be a natural progression of gleasons newest iteration while still d) able to stand as its own iconic look

i always thought tim would do really well in a more grounded noir-style detective story, both using and especially subverting the tropes of the genre (for instance tim befriends every femme fatale and romances absolutely zero of them. theyre pals and have weekly movie nights or smthn) obvs using some of the mystery elements to springboard into classic comic wild times etc etc. theres also a great opportunity to include some more cyberpunk aesthetics to the look and feel ofthe story

i.e. tim is part of the waynetech r&d teams, working with them to develop new technologies, and proceeding to test out some of the prototypes while doing vigilante work (bc terry had to get his rocket boots from somewhere ok). gotham is still gotham, but its starting to see some of that neo-futuristic/blade runner flavour from batman beyond.

so. cyberpunk detective story starring cha boy tim drake. im not gonna draw it rn but lemme just gather some ref elements here in case i ever do

first off - motorcycle, obviously. redbird is back babey and this time its a two-wheeler. all his gear would be modded the hell out of, but the motorcycle itself would be an approximate balance of 70% ducati and 30% tron lightcycle situation. a speedy bike with ample room for the edgy overkill batfam aesthetic, with maybe a little akira in there who knows

same goes for helmet; 70/30 on this modern/cyberpunk situation. heres a quickly photoshopped “cardinal” helmet lol

although theres totally room for some daft-punk leds in there. serving as a heads up display AND a fun neon aesthetic. I really want to play into that John Wick neo-noir situation.

besides that… ive got a preference for street style over the superhero spandex, so… detective jacket. every detective has a good jacket. norm breyfogle made a comment on his early tim robin designs that itd be pretty either/or on jacket vs cape, merging the two looked a little silly. for robin they probably decided on cape to keep things classic, but for cardinal i can do what i want

and i want to bring back some of this popped collar.

which i basically did for that other tim design i drew, which i still like, so this one would probably be at least a lil borrowed from that.

attempting to merge cape/jacket might end up smthn like these:

which admittedly i like.

admittedly… i do also like the concept of wings introduced in tims n52 design, i just think they couldve been hidden/incorporated better

greig rapson had a sweet robin design that had a sort of flight-suit (which dove into the actual mechanics??? i love) and since id want to dive into tim testing out waynetech prototypes, its a pretty good natural progression from him to terrys glider thing

the whole ensemble would be fairly understated however - enough to semi blend in with any crowd, hero or civilian. after all the story focus would be just as much about solving the mystery as it is punching the bad guy

the various interchangeable gadgets would be both prototypes of terrys eventual batsuit, and also all the failed prototypes that never managed to get off the ground. just to add an element of tension/plot devices wherein tims gear could break or malfunction pretty much anytime.

im fixated on this rocket boot situation though so itd be a paired down version of terrys eventual seamless/invisible design. still noticable and clunky, but working with the sleek modernish style outlined by gleason

smthn almost similar to the prowler actually from spiderverse - as in: Clearly Rocketboots, and clearly diy’d the shit out of, but still working with that Aesthetic

(most of the screencaps of prowler are dark af so im taking this from jesus alonso iglesias concept art)

im debating on the addition of more overtly birdlike/cyberpunk elements, so ill add this here cause its dope as fuck (from ahmet atil akar).

and a lot of batclan capes tend to end with that concave spiked look, which works great for bats but not really for birds. a tailcoat might emulate the bird tail, but it also might evoke Penguin a lil too much idk.

also in the interest of keeping everything within the same sort of design language, i would Love to see some new villains emulating deconstructionist/architectural kawakubo fashion:

like could you imagine the supervillain potential

so uhhh yeah. budding cyberpunk detective story with a little noir and a little technological advancement progressing in fits and starts. taking from the gleason foundation with heavy black featuring brighter coloured accents and modern sleekness, made a little dorky via prototype technology, with some extra neon blade runner shit thrown in there.

depending on how much i love or hate the new codename/design reveal i might draw this via inspired motivation or spiteful motivation lol

- akeno “KEITH” shirogane: (age: 19) [gay] hes japanese/black/galran. hes still half galra in this reboot bc i fuck with that honestly but hes got more visible galran traits. his bottom canines are larger than usual and poke out from his bottom lip so he wears a mask to cover his mouth and his eyes r still purple but instead of his sclera being yellow(tinted), hes just like. got some odd golden flecks in his eyes. he normally wears a dirty mechanics jumpsuit with the top half tied around his waist and a black or white tank top underneath (hes still a high school flunk out so he works full time at a car repair shop so hes able to buy food and shit at LEAST + hes still got his motorcycle to keep in shape). his casual clothes r just regular grey sweats, hoodies, and adidas or whatever brand is closest in their future lol. hes blood related to shiro who ill get to in a second.. shiros blood related to him as his uncle (brother of keiths dad) ALSO his hair isnt long in this reboot, hes got a short messy head of hair that he mostly just pulls back into a TINY little pony tail on his forehead (like in the game show ep) so it doesnt get in his face while hes working. he also has goggles bc thats the one thing from yalls reboot ideas i actually like (endgame lion: he momentarily pilots black during shiros disappearance but his permanent and stationary lion is red)

- fal’allura “fala, ALLURA” naguna’ephy: [lesbian] (age: 21 or close to that in alien standards) shes altean on her fathers side and teem (what we’re gonna call nymas race) on her mothers side. she bares more altean features except her eyes are solid yellow and shes only got four fingers on each hand. instead of crescent shaped facial markings, she has painted on red and golden lines across her nose and her upper lip. her hair (very dark purple with silver highlights and literal glowing, twinkling stars) is VERY long, brushing the floor as she walks except and (now bear with me cuz this might be hard to explain) her hair, the farther down u look kind of fades away? like it becomes semi to absolute transparent… idk how else to explain it but i hope u understand…. she does wear a crown but its more like a headdress.. (imagine beyonces headdress).. she doesnt wear it often, usually only on diplomatic missions to greet other worldly rulers bc its heavy and it makes her neck hurt :/.. her dress! looks like this! but a little more spiffy .. u know.. her casual/training clothes are just…. idk imagine a royal looking sports bra and leggings?? i guess … ALSO ALSO ALSO she can still shape shift but instead of limiting her shifting to just the changing of skin tone and height, she can completely mimic different alien species but only humanoid races.. like she can have those indented looking knees and huge ass horns and all that but she cant like. turn into an earth lizard u know what im saying. also also also also she still speaks with an accent just… not a british one….(endgame lion: no lion. she keeps leading and piloting the castle ship until destruction, where she leads and pilots the atlas)

- alejandro “LANCE, ale” reyes-leon: (age: 19 ½) [bi] hes cuban/black/vietnamese. his dad is black and vietnamese and his mom is cuban! hes got longish afro textured hair he keeps back in a pony tail most of the time like this or a bun when training bc hes too lazy to put any actual effort into styling it. hes got a couple moles/freckles scattered across his face and hes got sectoral heterochromiaaround his left pupil so theres a little bit of blue in one of his other wise dark brown eyes (like this).. i havent really figured out what his clothing style is.. i thought about keeping his clothes close to vld canon like his jacket (bc that was a really good jacket) but im gonna go a little wild here so hold on. he wears one of those surfer type looking skin tight turtleneck shirts underneath his heavy bomber jacket.. he wears just regular ripped jeans and hightops like in canon…….. hmm……. he wears a pink bead necklace under his shirt that was made by his little cousin just a couple weeks before he was shot off into space and he hasnt taken it off since…………. he also has a tiny stick and poke tattoo on his ankle he did when he was thirteen bc he thought it would look cool but it turned out kinda lop sided so he never takes his socks off in embarrassment (endgame lion: blue to red (during keiths reign as black paladin) then to black when shiro leaves voltron to lead the atlas alongside allura)

- takashi “SHIRO” shirogane: (age: 31) [gay] hes japanese/black. hes keiths uncle and the only family keith really has .. his design doesnt really change much except hes got long hair (like kuron) but its pulled up into a messy bun or pony tail.. in MY canon hes still gay and married to adam (whos name isnt adam i just cant think of a new name for him yet) (and adam lives dont worry) and theyre working on adopting a daughter before shiro has to leave for kerberos. shiro usually dresses in work out outfits so like. gym shorts… tank tops.. leggings.. imagine those white blonde dudes who always wear a man bun and only eat vegan and drink chai from starbucks bc thats exactly how shiro acts but ONLY ironically ……… when shiros abducted on the galra freighter and forced to fight in the ring, his hair streaks white but instead of just a clean scar across his nose, he has multiple long scars scattered across his face from a one x one between his face and some debris thrown at him by a gladiator. his prosthetic looks and remains kinda the same i guess but this time its decked out with claws on the finger tips so it looks a little more galran yeah? (endgame lion: no endgame lion. he pilots the atlas alongside allura)

- francesca “frannie, frankie, PIDGE” eleonora: (age: 15) [trans girl lesbian] shes . just italian i guess. so anyway shes not gonna be an asshole bitch like canon pidge.. shes gonna be the caring sweet but KINDA mean little sister we always wished we had.. the little sister who would tell u, with all honesty, that ur winged eyeliner was smudged before u hit the town with the girls and made a fool of urself……. ANYWAY shes still gonna be the ‘hacker’/computer geek techno girl but not as much ykno? shes JUST a little girl so she just kinda does her own thing. i rlly like all the fanart i see of her wearing overalls and stuff SO thats her canon design…… she wears faded overall jeans over a short sleeved pale pink tshirt w a dog one it and scuffed up chucks. she wears glasses but instead of just taking them from matt she has an actual prescription and is basically blind without them. i literally cannot stress this enough but shes such a nice girl like the team pretty much adopted her as their little sister the moment they boarded the castle ship. idk what else to add on to her!!!! i literally did not put any thought into pidge at all! (endgame lion: permanently green)

- opetaia“HUNK” tuitama: (age: 19 ¾) [bi] hes samoan/black. hunk was adopted and has two moms and three other siblings, all of who are younger than him. im not sure about his fashion other than i KNOW deep down in my heart that he would wear cargo shorts…. i cant find it in me to get rid of his bandana thing so i let him keep it except he uses it to tie his hair up instead of using it as a head band thing….. HUNK in my au is more of a tech freak/engineer than pidge so he handles most of that stuff with the occasional help from pidge (like wiring… she has tiny fingers that can grab the wires easier) hunk probably wears the crocs/sandals with socks combo but just because he loves hearing lance bitch about it whnever he struts into a room. hunk also looks good in his vest so im gonna let him keep that but it looks more modified… like it has a bunch of pockets and stuff to keep bolts and nuts and other stuff he needs to work with.. thats also why he wears cargo shorts; just for the pockets.. (endgame lion: permanently yellow)

also ur probably wondering ��if lance is in black and keith is in red and allura doesnt pilot a lion, THEN WHOS PILOTING BLUE????” …….. heh… peep this………..

- ADAM elsammak-althani(thank u mal @fuckvld for ur gorgeous arabic adam hcs..): (age: 32) [gay] i dont have much to say about him other than read mals hc lists and that ADAM LIVES IN MY REBOOT and he also joins the voltron team and pilots the blue lion (i FIRMLY hc that hes a very free/wild spirit and just loves to make jokes and is just.. a really fun guy to be around and obviously blue would open up to him in a SECOND. dont even @ me) (endgame lion: BLUE!)

#VOLTRON #this is SO long im sorry mobile users :^(#ALSO..... HEH...... ill draw them soon...... someday... i promise..#also if i messed anything up just tell me and ill fix it.. muwah #Anonymous

I decided to rent TMNT: Out of the Shadows because Turtles and because I haven't seen it since it came out. Here's some thought/reactions:

- the opening bit with the Turtles jumping across the NYC skyline is a lot of fun ^v^ special mention to Donnie wanting to skip across the pool water on Raph’s shell (”Doitdoitdoit I won't stop until you do it Doitdoitdoit!” “Okay FINE!” Hehe) and the pizza delivery guy who could not give less of a flarp, lol

- in RotTMNT the turtles hide to watch a wrestling match. In this movie they hide in a Jumbotron to watch a basketball game. I kinda have to wonder if the RotTMNT epi opening was meant to sorta be a reference to the movie now

- idk if it's the voice or the glasses or what but Donnie gives off a much younger vibe in this movie than he usually does (especially in RotTMNT where I'm pretty sure he's second oldest and definitely acts like it. Here though he seems like he second YOUNGEST rather than oldest)

- the moment when Splinter encourages the turtles to go after Shredder, and Leo just grins and says “Thanks Dad!” Gah, cute ^v^

- I don't really care for Raph’s voice in this movie but, gonna be honest, he's still pretty awesome with some pretty sweet moves - especially with how he takes out the ninjas in the car chase scene

- “What is that thing?” “It’s a big-ass magnet!” ...that line is so weird coming from Donnie

- Bebop and Rocksteady are such bros in this movie, I love it

- “Raphael over there in the red, he’s like a big cuddly teddy bear! ...if big cuddly teddy bears were incredibly violent.” Lol, in RotTMNT he's both cuddly and violent

- I love when Raph and Mikey start to prank Casey Jones, Leo shakes his head at them and is mouthing “No” and telling them to stop, trying to be the 'responsible one’ but then just can't help but smile and laugh along with them. Love these brotherly moments

- buuuut then Leo blows it by trying to keep secrets from part of the team and not trusting them. He reminds me a lot of how Bruce/Batman tends to run his teams, still caring about his teammates but also still ruling with a bit of an iron fist and always wanting to do things his way/not always listening to other plans

- *does a fart joke* Yep, this is a Nickelodeon movie alright

- “We’ll never finish our hip-hop Christmas album!” What even, lol

- “There’s only one vote that counts in this family: Mine.” ...okay wow, screw you too, Leo. I mean, I get that leaders do kinda have to have the final say sometimes but at least have a discussion with your brothers before deciding! Man... I'm glad Raph as the leader in RotTMNT isn't nearly as bossy...

- The scene with the cops and the turtles is so sad... Poor Mikey :(

*tracking B&R* “Theyre traveling 36,000 ft in the air at 490 knots!” “Whoa, theyve achieved the power of flight! Good for them!” “...They're on a plane, Mikey.” “...Oh.” Favorite joke in the movie

- I feel so bad for him but at the same time Raph being afraid of jumping from the plane (and how he worries about his bros who are totally cool with jumping) is pretty cute ^v^ (...and then he nearly goes right into the jet engine. geez)

- *sees foot clan ninjas* “The good news is, you're all wearing ‘chutes. The bad news is-” *cuts to the foot being tossed out of the plane* lol. Also: “It's an interdimensional portal-opening thingy-ma-bob!” “Well, there's probably a more technical name for it.” Donnie pls

- *sarcastically* “Thanks guys... Real team effort.” Again, screw you too, Leo, don't act like you did nothing wrong

- while the turtle scenes are better and more interesting than the human scenes, I do get a kick out of the Will Arnett scenes in this movie. He's just a fun guy to watch

- “His name is... Krang.” “I don't know that guy, but I HATE that guy!” Oh Mikey

- ...I don't understand the end of the “should we change ourselves and become human” subplot in this movie. Like, idk maybe I'm just missing something but what makes Raph go from “I want a normal life!” to smashing the purple ooze can and saying they don't need it? I also feel like there's reconcile scene missing between the argument on the plane and the movie’s climax with the techno-drone. I mean... I guess it's implied that they just decided to push their issues aside to save NYC but, those were some pretty big issues. There should've at least been an apology scene between Leo and Raph...

- I love how Shredder betrays Baxter Stockman, and then five minutes later Shredder gets betrayed by Krang, and hes just as shocked about it as Baxter was with him. Like, you really weren't expecting that when it's literally what you would do, Shredder? Lol, why do villains trust each other?

“Hang on, lil bro!” “No one! Messes! With MIKEY!” D’aww ^v^

Alright so... Writing-wise the movie’s a bit of a mess, but it's still a ton of fun to watch ^v^ I definitely enjoy it more now after watching RotTMNT (and a bit of TMNT ‘87) than I did when this movie first came out, when I had no prior experience with TMNT and was just watching the movie cause there was nothing else in theatres. So yeah, I'd say it's worth a watch even if it is a bit of a mess, just for some funny bits and cute moments ^v^

im back

hi just thought id pop in with a status update! maybe i’ll break this down into categories. feel like im doing an email update (ew!) but this rly is probs the best way to structure this post...

work / school (?)

work has been....aite. idk what to say. idk if i have unrealistic expectations of what work is supposed to be, but the idealist in me thinks its wrong to not even try and find something that seems meaningful / is deeply fulfilling. i think im mature enough to get that work isnt supposed to be fun / exciting every single day but bro this daily grind / sense of dread / utter disinterest / feeling of futility / frustration / disenchantment surely isnt the correct state of affairs.....at least let me try and find something that is a better fit, thats more stimulating, that feels more NATURAL to me? i just dont think im cut out to be a lawyer. sure i sometimes like arguing and making my point and i like that everyone i work with is smart and interesting and generally kind and reasonable and i like the prestige of the job and feeling like ppl respect me and i like the decent pay and the humane hours but.....i feel unmotivated to be a good lawyer. i think i find it difficult / disingenuous to always 100% get behind my client and advocate for their best interests. i tend to see things from a zoomed out perspective, like WHY are we fighting, WHY cant we just settle, WHY are the claimants pursuing this absolutely crap and unmeritorious claim and WHY do we have to defend it when its stupid and bound to fail (cos access2justice i guess but still, WHY), WHY cant we just hash things out in a meeting instead of sending emails here and there and wasting time, WHY do we have to answer stupid questions, WHY WHY WHY

and i think public policy is sort of an answer to that....i think theres more questioning of why we do things and why a policy will or will not work, in a macro sense - what is good for society at large. whereas in law (at least in litigation) its how can we just move this case forward and help the client, which is often not the most productive thing to do in a macro sense - very much a zero sum game. i get that shitty / unmeritorious claims still need to be defended against and someone has to do it and I GET IT but i just dont think i want to be that person defending these claims...or bringing them for that matter.....ultimately i cant fully / sincerely separate the overarching sense of futility from the duty to do a good job.

sigh. well at least ive kind of figured out this isnt for me. which is scary cos being a lawyer in this firm is pretty much a career for life - truly an iron rice bowl, i could probably make partner in maybe 4 or 5 years and live a comfortable upper middle class life...but i cant bring myself to do that. i cant bring myself to not give myself a shot at doing something i actually find interesting, stimulating and that i care about deeply. call me crazy! we’ll see where this brings me in 5 years’ time....:)

anyway most ppl at work (at least in my team) know that im most likely gonna leave soon. i rly only told 2 ppl (my boss cos he had to sign off on my testimonial and G cos she was quitting anyway)...but somehow ppl found out one way or another. i dont rly mind and ppl have been taking it pretty well and have been kind and encouraging (i guess why would they not take it well, im hardly indispensable) but i get a bit antsy thinking - what if i dont get in...then what? do i just put my head down and continue here (BUT IM SO SAD) or do i just quit without any prospects and try to find a policy-ish job??

idk. will have faith that God will put me where I need to be. he is in control of it all and I BELIEVE THIS !!! I am just a bit scared that his plan is different from what i think i want....but this is just my human instinct and i know in my head that there is no reason to be scared cos his plan is always the better one. head knowledge just needs to translate to heart understanding and real trust / faith.

ermmm relationships...???

i started using...cmb...idk why i find this so cringey. i guess about a year ago i couldnt imagine doing this and i kept thinking EW what if ppl i know see me and they think im a desperate saddo who cant find a bf irl and has to resort to an app EW shes so lame and ugly and gross. and i realised that is so stupid no one actually thinks that way and its very backward and dumb and insecure of me to be thinking that. and anyway as i get older i rly dont quite give a shit what ppl think of me (at least i tell myself that....)

i suppose i was also inspired by csm who has been quite actively using apps and meeting ppl and taking real..strides..(LOL) in her dating life. i used to tell myself hey God will provide u with a mans if he wants u to be with a mans. but also God can use an app to do that...and if i dont step out in faith that he will do something and i dont take any action at all, how is God gonna work?? should i sit at home and expect a man to fall into my lap??

for some ppl it has been way easier, e.g. my parents meeting in uni and falling i love. i always wanted that - the organic relationship, the meet-cute, the friends to lovers thing. (i guess i tried that last one before and it didnt work...) but i think theres no point in romanticising relationships anymore. thats a very modern thing to do and its not necessarily a good thing? like who’s to say a relationship that had organic beginnings is intrinsically better than one that started from an app?

anyway i havent had much luck haha i think its hard to find genuine GCBs (or maybe theyre just not attracted to me....) although recently ive been talking to this one guy B for a week or two and its been...ok i guess. hes rly nice and seemed cool at first - we talked about travelling and hamilton and the office, which was a good start. he is thoughtful and kind and doesnt seem to be put off by my very slow replies (he replies so fast......its stressful a bit) and he does the whole good morning text thing (which i frankly find a bit bizarre, we barely know each other..?? and ive never even met him irl.. but its sweet i guess :))

but DUDE his english seems to be not great - at least thats the impression i get from texting him. which is an issue for me. i dont want it to be BUT IT IS...first red flag was when he said some weird thing about not wanting to wear a mask at work (not a literal mask - like he didnt know if he could be his ‘true self’) and the wording was very strange. then he said “the weekends are almost here” ?? the weekend is not a plural though? then he used the wrong tense a few times and his apostrophe usage was wrong (”Gods’ love” - bro there is one God). he also uses way too many commas which irks me.

i mean i get that text is supposed to be an informal medium - come on look at this post, there r hardly any capital letters and plenty of short forms and hardly any apostrophes but u see its CONSISTENT and its obviously cos of laziness / convenience - but i think his problem is a bit different...u can sort of tell if someone doesnt have a 100% strong grasp of english. those r basic grammar mistakes man...i get that i sound petty and stupid and this isnt a huge deal but i feel like im settling by even talking to him cos this is not something i wld normally tolerate but hey maybe im getting desperate with age :(:(:( urgh

on the other hand maybe i just need to be more generous with ppl and l have an irrationally high standard for english cos i am a lawyer and my friends all speak well / text well?? maybe im just being too nitpicky?? honestly hes very nice and communicative and straightforward and seems mature and very God-fearing and idk why hes still talking to me cos ive been a bit cold and slow to respond. hes very patient which i dont rly deserve.....i myself have a million flaws that are probably way worse and egregious (ahem PRIDE...ahem ego....ie the source of this dilemma in the first place...) so maybe i should just close one eye abt the bad grammar.

i also realised how fked up i am - confirmed my suspicion that i am naturally attracted to emotionally unavailable ppl / ppl that just seem distant / out of reach (thats my avoidant attachment style right there). i think there was one day he didnt text me at all and omg...i couldnt stop thinking what i did wrong...like did i piss him off by being too cold for too long...did he get scared off cos i said i wanted to do a masters (idk this seemed like an irrational leap but i was being irrational)..then i started being nicer to him and replied more promptly hahaha turns out he was just rly bz at work that day. omg this pattern is real i think i did this with xj also - was eager to speak when he was in japan but after meeting irll i was just over it... (i am drawn to distance like a moth to a flame and i am repelled by availability like....a fire by a fire extinguisher (??)). yucks i rly hate myself sometimes but yknow what at least im self aware and im trying to fix this...kind of.. gonna hash this avoidant thing out with my therapist at the next sesh.

on the topic of xj i got a bit nostalgic and wondered why we stopped speaking (surprise surprise it was my fault, didnt reply then felt it had been left to long to pick it up again...) went back to look at our texts and aw we rly got along so well, i do miss him as a friend and im sorry about how poorly i treated him especially in dec 2018 / jan 2019 sigh.....i was a real bitch....

anyway im just gonna see how things go with B... if he asks me out i prob will go... just to give it a shot. update if / when that happens!

EDIT - he asked me out lol we shall see how it goes.
