#this shot of citrine literally crushes me

[mmmatchasims]

Citrine: I got sick when I was a kid. It was same thing that killed my dad. Topaz couldn’t have been more than 4 or 5. Neither of us really understood what it meant back then. I was stable for a while but things took a turn last year. My parents moved us out here to be closer to the hospitals in Windenburg. They’re some of the best around.

Citrine: I was reacting well to a new treatment for a while... Until one day I wasn't. There are a lot of things I wish I had done differently, Hibiscus. But you have to understand that I was terrified. And angry. None of this is fair.

hey dude for the music challenge u should do ALL OF EM

heh heh heh... such was my plan ALL ALONG. i will now use this ask as the place to do it (here’s the post btw)

1. A song that reminds you of your childhood: anything from Fiddler On The Roof (the original Broadway cast recording)... my dad loves Fiddler On The Roof and he used to play it all the time

2. A song to sleep to: heh, anything at 2am. but really New York And Back by Leanne & Naara

3. A song that your best friend loves: oh god, really? cmon i cant just know that...! ummmm mazie and i had a really in depth running conversation about her favorite music about two years ago but im forgetting it all. im PRETTY SURE Venus Ambassador by Bryan Scary & the Shredding Tears was the inspiration for her OC Stuart who we both love and occasionally develop

4. A song that hypes you the fuck up: HEH ANYTHING....! oh my god this is a haaaaard one because of how many options i have!!! but also: Awaken by Riot Games feat. Valerie Broussard, because WHEN THE DEVIL IS KNOCKINGGGGGGGGG... SO ALL YOU RESTLESS

5. A song you like to daydream to: i can only say “heh anything” so many times!! literally i daydream to basically every single song; its foundational to how i consume music. i’ll bring out the real heavy hitter now and say Follow You Down by Zedd feat. Bright Lights. ive got some REAL good daydreams for that one

6. A song that’s on at least 3 of your playlists: *breath in* no just kidding, i do my best to make sure my playlists arent too similar. the day you stop me from putting I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers on every character playlist is the day i die tho

7. A song that you love from a genre you don’t usually like: this should be easy; lemme just flip through my catalog of “songs i bought independent of their albums because i was building an 8tracks playlist in iTunes”... actually no, Planetary (GO!) by My Chemical Romance! i dont usually like whatever subgenre of rock MCR is all that much but this one GOES (fittingly shjfdis)

8. A song that you liked when you where 10 that still slaps: Der Kommissar by Falco. no fucking hesitation. i can thank my fluent-in-german mom for this one

9. A song that makes you want to go on an adventure: Zero by Imagine Dragons! ive daydreamed some poppin’ space adventures to that one

10. A song you’d want to dance with your partner to ( or future partner ): so, so much... NOT Jenny by Studio Killers because i just wanna make out to that one; maybe I Go Crazy by Paul Davis

11. A song to stomp around and pout to: difficult, because when i pout, i pout like grimbark jade, in that i go “actually im better than everyone and you can all smd.” then again, having made that clear, Roman Holiday by Nikki Minaj (shoutout: @floralmarsupial for killing me with that lyricstuck)

12. A song to listen to whilst you lie in a meadow: Folding Chair by Regina Spektor. TOO EASY

13. A song that reflects your views on love: uhhhhh. huh. polyam moments? no songs about polyamory moments? being polyamorous fundamentally affects my views on love in a way im not sure ive ever heard a song capture moments? Hot Air Balloon by Owl City because i’ll be out of my mind, and you’ll be out of ideas pretty soon, so let’s spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

14. A song to sing to the sun: i feel like its probably not the intended spirit of this question, but Coming Over (feat. James Hersey) by Dillon Francis & Kygo. im usually more of a nighttime girl but honestly? call me xoxo

15. A song you like that sounds like its on the soundtrack to an indie coming of age film: ohhhh my gooooddddd literally any fucking Bastille song. any of them. thats like their whole angle and i LIVE for it. im picking Snakes because snakes are biting at my heels, the worries that refuse to let us go; ive been kicking them away and hoping not to let them take control

16. A song that you like that romanticises being a teenager: i would love to say Teen Idle by MARINA for the irony but i cant bring myself to. (ill still link it tho.) real answer is Centuries by Fall Out Boy, because whether or not it actually romanticises being a teen i just feel it yknow

17. A song that makes you want to grab your friends jump up and down dancing and screaming the lyrics: why did they write a question to which the only answer is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen? i dont get it. just kidding another acceptable answer is Toxic by Britney Spears (my white is showing im sure)

18. A song that you like that the lyrics are just so beautiful they’re practically poetry: well actually i have such good taste that every song i listen to is poetry. (trying to remember the lyrics i cried to out of nowhere yesterday. oh right it was The Draw by Bastille but most of it doesnt fit the question as much) ANY Hozier song. im linking his fucking artist page because im NOT KIDDING. ANY HOZIER SONG. i toyed with picking a specific song as an “also, it’s this one haha” but no, im dead serious. i cant pick just one

19. A song that you can imagine listening to in an abandoned church ( if it isn’t hozier im judging you, but whatever ): ironic! to pick a specific Hozier song this time (because op is right, he’s the only choice), Talk

20. A song from the soundtrack of a film that you like so much after the film finished you immediately looked for it: hm, i feel like i have done this before, but i cant recall when... well i didnt go “oh fuck bop [blacks out]” but Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. remember Thor: Ragnarok? that was a good movie

21. A song for when the sun has gone down and you are feeling absolutely buck-wild with exhilaration!: Lost In Japan (Remix) by Shawn Mendes & Zedd, because no song hits my city-hotel aesthetic quite like this one does

22. A song that makes you feel like you’re strolling through Ancient Greece living your best life: ancient Greece...! that throws a fun twist in it; Don’t Leave Me (Ne me quitte pas) by Regina Spektor

23. A song that when you listen to it you’re transported to a liminal space, time is pointless and you must sit and wallow in the void that remains: Shots (Broiler Remix) by Imagine Dragons feat. Broiler. i glanced at this question early on and have been sitting on it the whole time. just LISTEN to it

23. A song to listen to on a long drive when you have the really strong urge to keep driving until you find somewhere to start a new life (preferably a europian city whose language you don’t speak): Evelyn by Kim Tillman & Silent Films. it just called to me here

im a little sad that i couldnt put every song ive ever listened to in here so heres some more good ones that i didnt choose: Citrine by Hayley Kiyoko (this is actually a whole EP), Lone Digger by Caravan Palace, Safe And Sound by Capital Cities, Absentee by Jack Campbell, River Flows In You by Yiruma, Instant Crush by Daft Punk, Link by Jim Yosef, Poke Bowl by Radiant Children, Optimistic by cehryl, Quiet by Lights, Superposition by Young the Giant, Far Too Young To Die by Panic! at the Disco, The Good, the Bad and the Dirty also by P!atD, Whatever It Takes by Hollywood Undead, LUNARIA (instrumental) by Chouchou. i know thats easily enough to make your eyes glaze over but mutuals especially it would mean a lot to me if you listened to at least a few of the songs i linked in this post because music means a lot to me and sharing it with other people is one of my favorite things :]

[mob-likes-milk]

Can I get an imagine of Teruki's crush (gender neutral) seeing him without his wig, and he's self-conscious about the bald spot. Please make it fluffy! 😊👍

rumors seek insecurities

Pairing: Reader x Teruki Hanazawa (Mob Psycho 100)

Summary: (Fluff) After the meeting with White T-poison, Teruki changes radically; he loses his past admirers but gains knowledge of his situation. His long-time crush, (Y/n), starts to be close friend with him, aware and proud of his progress. He wishes to always be besides them, but an event will make him doubtful of his confidence.

Warning: mentions of rumors & humiliation.

Word count: 2040

A/N: I got quite carried away on this one, I still hope it’s okay! (I really wanted to develop their relationship beforehand) I really hope you’ll enjoy! ♡

The rumors spread atan alarming speed since the curious news of debris floating up in the sky wasbroadcasted for the whole archipelago to know. Seasoning City was the heart ofnumerous supernatural events journalists would investigate on, but never getanswers to. Some citizens were aware and feared these happenings, but somedecided to see them as usual and not give them a second thought. It was thecase for most of Black Vinegar Middle School’s students, as one of them showedto be someone with superhuman powers; his force and capacity were unbeatable byanyone. Teruki Hanazawa was someone who you shouldn’t mess up with. Nobodycould compete the mysterious power he held; making him the most appreciated andcharismatic student of the whole school, if not of every other Seasoning City’sacademy.

His time ofacclamation was held until the delinquents started to soil his reputation,talking about how “White T-poison” played with his little game and made of hima complete fool. They all declared the strongest individual roamed around SaltMiddle School’s ground, someone with so much force he could eventually be thecause of the incident every resident of the town were concerned about. No onepresent at the scene of the battle was able to give clear answers; they wereunconscious for the most part of it, but they could affirm Teruki was laidbare, both figuratively and literally.

The main element everyonefocused their attention on was the obscure and powerful student of theneighborhood school, but nobody took notice of the sudden changes of the formermost popular teenager. He was left alone by most of his admirers, a lot of themclaiming he was just someone full of himself, ahypocrite who only wanted to show off his impressive, yet not the mightiest,capacities. His whole situationfelt unfair and completely impulsive; the amount of backlashes he receivedcould be considered harassment for (Y/n)’s eyes.

Teruki and they wereacquaintances since elementary school, occasionally telling the other greetingsand having short discussions over the small amount of school’s topics. Despitethe polite behavior the young boy displayed to them, (Y/n) never felt the urgeto know them more than a classmate. The usual cult of appreciation the otherspresented to him made them recede from learning more about their personality;his action resumed it well enough.

But the moment theysaw people loath on him, they started to make efforts for him; they noticedchanges on his personality nobody tried to apprehend. They saw him maturing up;being cognizant he is just a human; a powerful one, but still someonelike everybody else.

Ever since theystarted to initiate more discussions with the young teen, their relationshipgrew exponentially; in less than a few weeks, the two past acquaintances werealready close friends. This change did contributed greatly on Teruki’s attitudeand actions; him who has a tremendous crush on the student ever since they meetup years ago.  He obviously hid theseloving emotions away from their sight, trying to cautiously make his way intotheir precious heart by his thoughtful decisions and his elegant look.

It was still surprising to see such a suddenmodification on his physical appearance after the famous event, his hair wereabnormally long on the top of his head; the mass of hair relating to a messyhaystack. People around him would noticeand accuse the rumors of him losing his blonde, silk hair during the well-knownbattle; this eccentric hairstyle being the one of a wig.

(Y/n) didn’t listen tothese warnings; they knew better than worry for something as insignificant as ahair loss problem.  They like theirfriend for who he is, and even so, his porcelain face is still the most pleasantone they ever lead their eyes on.

               Thestress forming through the day was slowly cleared away into one of appeasement;the soft temperature of a spring afternoon was nothing but gratification forboth of the middle school students. The sound of their shoes faintly hittingthe pavement put rhythm in the comfortable silence; the last stroll of the daywas a time of relaxation after enduring classes over classes. (Y/n) looked attheir friend from the corner of their eyes and gently smiled; they felt greatthey did the right choice to help Teruki through his isolation, the boy beingmore fascinating than they would have ever imagined.

               Theyoung boy noticed the friendly stare and adorable grin adorning their featuresand felt his heart pounding slightly harder inside its cage, he softlyreturned the gesture.

“Hey, do you think you will be ableto come at my apartment tomorrow? We can finish that group project if you’dlike.” Teru’s appeasing voice broke the silence, his friend’s expressionchanged into one of slight surprise, before their grin reappeared.

“Sure, I think I can ask my parentsfor th-“

(Y/n) was cut short bya cyclist riding straight at them at a dangerously high speed. The young student swiftlystopped their saunter and tried to save their friend from a potentially harmfulhit by pushing him. The bodies of the students thumped against the concretefences of the aligned houses, a painful sensation rapidly spreading insidetheir already drained figures. The silhouette of the man and his bike fadedinto the horizon, mumblings of an unfazed sorry vanishing into thin air.

The back of (Y/n) felta soaring ache, the tough surface of the wall scratching against their darkuniform. Glaring the way the cyclistdisappeared, the student whispered cuss words under their halting breath. Theirheart was pulsating at an agonizing fast pattern, making them feel suddenlydizzy. They breathed in and out calmly trying to evacuate the sudden rise ofadrenaline, glancing back at their close friend.

Their eyes widened atthe sight in front of them; the large amount of blonde strands on top ofTeruki’s head was now laying on the concrete ground, revealing his previouslyhidden bald scalp.

His sky blue orbs shotopen when he saw their startled expression, the unusual lack of weight on hishead alarming his now troubled mind; he knew what happened. Shame started toeat him whole, his deepest fear executed without he had the chance to stop itfrom happening. A burning feeling spread through his bruised body, the pain from the previous fallfelt like nothing to this hurtful and self-destructive sensation; he knew that now, he will never beable to be with them, all because of this disgusting truth he had to hide fromtheir dearest eyes for weeks.

Disgraceful warm tearsblurred his vision, he tried to hide the bald spot with his arms but he wasaware it was futile. He tried to push himself against the grey fence more andmore, hoping he could disappear through it if he made enough effort. (Y/n) sawthe distress of their friend and rapidly sat up; their legs flinched due totheir wounds. They cautiously staggered to his shivering form; even if therumors revealed to be true, it wasn’t a problem for them; their thoughts abouthis beauty stayed just as clear as before.

“H-Hey, Teru, look atme, please…” They pleaded, trying to find his delicate eyes behind hisdefensive arms. His body seemed to shake more furiously, the tears he held intopouring down his cheeks, crimson red from the humiliation. They kneeled downand stretched their hand to maybe appease his stressed form, but he seemedfrightened to even feel their touch; their fingers felt like scalding utensilsprepared to melt his pale skin if they dared to make contact. (Y/n)’s armretreated, a frown of deep worry now showing on their features. They had to dosomething, anything to help their friend.

“You, you shouldn’tfelt ashamed of this.” They tried to reason him in a whisper, concern showingin their voice. They glanced to the side, noticing the long wig still on theconcrete ground. “I don’t think it’s awful, or disgusting, what you’relacking.” They continued and looked back at his tense frame. They chose theirwords wisely, sometime taking pauses between sentences to take a refreshing andmuch needed breath. Teruki’s soft blue eyes opened calmly, their constant shakeof fear subsisting with time.

“I-I still thinkyou’re beautiful, inside and out, and I won’t trade you with anyone else.” Theyexplained, glad to see his stunning face completely again. His eyes shinedwith slight happiness, were they true to their words? Was he as important tothem as he always considerate them? He deeply wished it, his fist clenching hispurple blouse in anticipation.

“You’re actuallysomeone I think is really h-handsome.” A timid smile tugging on their rosylips, they couldn’t hold back the genuine compliments back anymore. “I don’tmind your imperfections at all, since I have quite an amount for myself.” Theylet a laugh escape; it felt embarrassing to tell their insecurities to theirprecious friend.

They had a moment ofsilence. They looked back at each other to find the answers they wished tofind. The (e/c) orbs were fascinated by the baby blue ones, sparkling into amix of citrine and rose quartz hues. The evening sky reflected into his iris, theshining of the tears not shed gleaming around. (Y/n) was completely mesmerized.

“I-I’m not the one tocompliment like that, but your blue eyes are p-particularly pretty.” A delicatered color spread across the young student face, a feeling of embarrassmentdisplaying after admitting one of their thoughts. The face in front of themturned the same glow, a delighted smile forming after hearing their words.

Teruki embraced hiscrush in a swift motion, taking their upper body in a strong, but affectionategrip. Some lukewarm tears escaped his tightly shut eyes, a feeling of gratitudeand relief taking over his senses. His friend was taken aback when they feltthe wet sensation on their shoulder, some worry showing. They made up theirmind to think it wasn’t something to doubt about, and reciprocated the tenderhug back. The shaking lips of Teruki tried to mumble his appreciation, but hewas too overwhelmed to say it correctly.

“-T-thank y-you… somuch…” He tried to speak, his hiccupping hampered his speech.

“-You’re welcome.”(Y/n) replied calmly, their hand wandering on his back; soft rubbings carefullysoothing him. They felt another smile form on his features; the sensation onhis warm cheeks being pushed made his crush relieved.  They both wished they could stay like that,but time was flying off.

They parted away fromthe sweet embrace, grins adorning their crimson faces. The blonde looked backat the wig, stretching a hand out to retrieve it with an indescribableexpression.

“You know, it’s okayif you need to wear it for the moment. Hair grows back anyway so there isnothing to worry about.” (Y/n) reassured, the hesitation he had about his appearanceslowly faded away, a smirk displaying on his features. He put the wig up on hisscalp once again, trying to balance it up so it won’t fall another time; his friendchuckled at the unusual sight.

They suddenly wonderedif he still felt the harm of their past fall, maybe he had bruises covering hisarms and back as well. They thought about what they could do to help, and decided to spendmore time with him; it was the best choice to be made.

“Teru, are you okay?I-I mean, is your back still hurting?” They asked in a shy tone, a warm feelingof affection spreading through them. He looked back at them surprised, before testinghis back, giving it random pushes. They knew what the answer was when they heardthe young boy muttering laments. They let a playful grin play on their featuresbefore taking his stiff arm in theirs.

“Well, I guess I’ll needto take care of those!” They cheered while giggling.  Their friend felt his heart skip a beat afterhearing their melodic laugh, a tender smile arose from their hidden feelings.

“Haha! Sure!” Terukireplied, glad he fell for the right person.
