this hades thanzag fic is very fun to me i love a plotty slow burn ♥
🍄- share a headcanon for one of your favorite ships or pairings
tim, stupid and bisexual and in love with kon but confused about it bc he's stupid and also still closeted, and very out of the loop post rr09, comes back to the titans once his life has settled down a bit more, and realizes that something must have happened between kon and cassie while he was away, because whereas last he knew they'd just broken up and things were kind of awkward, now they keep giggling at each other and playfighting in midair and showing each other dumb memes on their phones.
he watches kon set a freshly-baked pie on the cooling rack, only for cassie to pop up from behind the counter and yoink it, clearly with the intent of just making kon chase her around the titans tower common room. kon successfully liberates his pie ("with the handy-dandy, ever-versatile power of tactile telekinesis--ow! cass!") and triumphantly returns it to the kitchen; a few minutes later, he cuts a slice, then calls cassie over to feed her the first bite. (and then to smear whipped cream on her nose as a surprise attack. his revenge for her act of theft.)
and witnessing all this, tim thinks to himself, ah. they must have talked out whatever made them break up, and gotten back together. they haven't been so comfortable around each other in years, by the looks of it; they're making each other laugh like they did when they were 16, before they ever got together in the first place.
well, tim thinks, i should be happy for them. i love them both. i want them to be happy. i should be happy. i will Make Myself be happy for them. if there's a bitter or jealous little stone in the pit of my stomach no there isn't. what do i have to be jealous about? i'm not in love with cassie or anything. that would be stupid.
(the kon-shaped elephant in the room stares at him. he avoids eye contact.)
what has actually happened: cassie very nervously approached kon and admitted she thinks she might. uhm. prefer. girls? and kon was like oh thank god i'm pretty sure i'm gay holy shit. and then they both did the spiderman pointing meme in shock and delight and then grabbed each other by the hand and went skipping through a field of daisies together. "huh they seem way more at ease in each others presence than they ever did while they were dating before" yeah there's a reason for that, timothy. you fool. you buffoon.
anyways tim's misconception doesn't last long (he mentions it to them once, earnestly, and they both stare at him like ????? no????? ?? ???? ? ?? ???? ? ??) but it is funny. after all this he Still hasn't figured out he's in love with kon.

hi hi mayliz ^^!! do u hav any quiet tim or naptime hcs for any chrs/shows/stuff :3c?
Hi hello! This took me forever to answer because I was debating between characters and my own oc's. Oc's won so take some random ramblings :3
Atlas
~Flip who's caregiver leaning. He could honestly sleep most of the day away... Regressed he's clinging to Shayla or Hunter, he's probably fallen asleep standing up when the two leaders are discussing very important adult things™. Just a very tired little guy...
~Caregiver headspace is shifting into a big ol fluffy panda and letting his little ones lay on him like a giant living stuffed animal to sleep. That or carrying a fussy little one by the scruff like some over grown mother cat. (I have been wanting to draw this for so long and I keep forgetting too, I actually don't know if I've even ever posted a drawing on him before... hmm I should really do that)
Shayla
~Huge advocator of unwinding and having some quiet time. Mostly it's for herself just to be able to rest her prosthetic leg without feeling guilty about not 'doing enough'
~Cool older sister who lets you read from her manga/comic collection if you promise to lay down and rest for a while
~Honestly the go to babysitter for any fussy little one who's overtired and missing their caregiver. How could you possibly stay upset when your being offered cozy matching pajamas and a bottle or sippy cup of your favorite drink?
Laurence
~Absolutely loves nap time. Bottle of milk + storytime + comfort stuffy = one very happy kiddo. The only downside is he will only settle if he's with his brother and the two can fall asleep together.
~Which is very difficult when your brother is being 'very mean' and not paying attention because he has 'important grown up things to do' (Dustin literally just said, give me two minutes...) The audacity. How dare. Baby's going to go and cry now.
~Throws a temper tantrum if anyone else offers to try and put him down for a nap.
Kenya
~Middle space regressor who's either reading under the covers with a flash light, or like that one kid at a sleep over who keeps whispering to his friends waaaay too loudly and keeps everyone else up.
~Still wants to sleep next to his sister like when they were actual kids. Only to end up giggling and poking each other and doing anything but sleeping until one of their caregiver's comes and separates them. Probably better if they just want a movie or a tv show and unwind for a little
May & Spurgeon
~May would probably throw a temper tantrum at the idea of taking a nap. She more just has a quiet rest time that includes sitting in the captain's chair and quietly playing with stuffed animals or action figure.
~Meanwhile it's Spuergeon her caregiver who's taking the nap. Sue him, he's exhausted, and May really doesn't end up wandering far once her attention is grabbed so he doesn't have to worry too much if he dozes.
~That being said the captain has woken up to a bunch of stuffed animals and toys being posed on his stomach, just because the little wanted to see how much she could get away with before he woke up (I also want to draw this)

You're doing trick or treat???? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 *Rings the doorbell*
Happy Halloween! Iirc, i heard you like jaytimkon :3c have another snip from my wolf x dog x sheep jaytimkon WIP:
“…Jason…?” Kon ekes out. Gloved fingers gently sweep away the damp curls sticking to his sweat-soaked skin, over the spiderwebs of green just now fading from his cheeks. “Looking a little green around the gills there, superbrat. You should be more careful. Gave your boyfriend a scare,” Jason scolds lightly, but the voice changer on his helmet can’t actually hide his relief. Tim can tell. “Just… my boyfriend?” Kon asks, still too wiped for a cheeky grin, but clearly giving it his best shot. Jason huffs, leaning back to get his hands under Kon’s knees and around his shoulders. He lifts Kon up, settling him as comfortably as he can. Kon groans, probably nauseous after being exposed to kryptonite for this long— but he slumps into Jason, pressing his face into the closest part of him he can reach. Trusting Jason to carry him. From across the room, Tim watches it all with hungry eyes.
(For the trick or treat ask game! Send me a trick or treat ask and I'll share jaytim WIP snippets, or new 3-sentence -paragraph fics, etc :^) through the 31st!)
#:3c#someday i'll finish this one...#i need to read more of kon's comics before i commit to writing it tho#i want to understand him a little better lol#one of the downsides to being obsessed with the OTP is that when the OT3 rolls along you wail and cry because it can't just be OTP +1#it needs to be EQUAL. it is an EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE. get that isosceles shit out of here <- she knows it's going to be scalene but f that 2#i demand stability in my ot3 okay#jaytimkon#my writing#asked and answered#cheetahleopard#trick or treat ask game

Trick or treat? >:3c
HELLOOO FENRIS!! HAPPY HALLOWEENNNNNN 💖💖💖💖
But oh NO! You've missed trick or treating!!
Luckily for you, this is now a house party, which means I can post an NSFW snippet!!! This picks up right after the end of the massage prompt I snippeted in this ask earlier 😇
~ ✨ ~
Fuck. Jesus fuck. Jesus fucking christ.
This was a bad idea. This was a really, really bad idea.
10 minutes ago, Jason did think Tim’s fingers were scrawny. Now, they’re warm and long and lean and making a magical trail up and down his shoulder, and it feels fucking amazing.
Hell, how long has it been since someone touched him this… tenderly? He’s so used to every touch being a hit, being painful, that he can’t remember the last time someone touched him for longer than a few seconds and was gentle about it.
And Tim… Jason’s not blind. He’s cute most of the time, and then he gets that one grin that makes him look a little like a mad scientist and Jason’s heart starts ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum-ing like Bugs fucking Bunny. And he’s not an idiot, he’s seen the way Tim blushes around him.
But he already decided not to do anything about it. And if he teases him a little more and goes out of his way to annoy him so he can see that pretty schoolgirl blush, that’s his business.
So why the fuck did he agree to this? Something is wrong with him. Colossally. Mentally. He wasn’t going to fuck Tim! He wasn’t going to pick him up by those pretty legs and slam him against his wall and fuck his tongue down his throat, wasn’t going to see just how much of his cock he could get in his mouth—
Another moan rumbles out of his chest on the next sweep of Tim’s thumb across his shoulder. It’s low and deep and jesus fuck he sounds like he’s being fucked slow and good.
And Tim… doesn’t say anything. Of course, he doesn’t say anything. Jason’s panting like a dog in heat while Tim rubs his magical fingers up and down his back, kneading the muscles, pulling out the tension, and Tim’s probably got that smug little grin on his face, and holy fuck Jason should say thanks that really helped and kick him the fuck out of his apartment so he can spend a solid 10 minutes in the shower with his hand.
And if he thinks about how Tim’s hands would feel flat on his back, holding him down while he fucks into him, or how those hands would feel digging into his back while Jason fucked into him, that’s also his business. Fantasizing is fine.
Tim’s hand cups the back of Jason’s neck, and he practically yelps so he doesn’t moan.
There’s a pause, a moment where Tim could be— fuck, he could be doing anything. He could be laughing, he could be smirking, he could be confused, and Jason should say something, he should say something, fuck, he should explain but he honestly really fucking can’t explain that Tim practically scruffing him really gets him going—
“Are my hands still cold?”
“No, you just—” Jason has to clear his throat because it’s coming out fucking sex drunk, that’s awesome, “caught me off guard,” he finishes.
Tim hums an acknowledging noise, and then he starts rubbing again. Jason digs the fingers of one of his hands into his leg, hoping his torso hides it from Tim’s line of sight.
And the whole time Tim rubs his neck, all Jason can think about is what Tim’s fingers would feel like scraping up his scalp, threading through his hair, grabbing a fistful of it, tugging it like a handle, and thank fucking god his shirt is covering his lap.

"Thaddy," Somehow, it's worse than pickle, the way she drags it out in the whiniest, most irritating drawl she can manage. "I'm bored." No good can come of this, of that you can be certain. Katie pauses a beat, cocks her head a bit, and glances him up and down-- calculating, assessing him and not even bothering to be discrete about it. Just what she's judging him on isn't clear, but the natural blonde shifts in the seat she's been lounging in, posture straightening. Clearly, he's passed her assessment. "I think we should team up to play a prank on Timwit."
Pranking Tim? >:3c || @haeroes (Katie), @volucerrubidus
Even Thad had to grimace as he heard the whining drawl of Katie calling him 'Thaddy.' Thaddy of all things. He should have been happy to hear some semblance of his name, but it almost felt unnatural that he wasn't being called a pickle by her.
His expression falls flat at that moment.
...Something was definitely wrong with him if he was starting to think like that.
But he doesn't consider that fact for long as what Katie says next grabs his attention fully and forcefully.
"Pranking Tim?" There's a twitch at the corner of his lips as a grin forms. That was all Katie had really needed to say. "And a team up? Wow is it my lucky day or what?" He chuckles as he takes a seat across from her. He leans forward in his chair fully invested to do whatever he could to make this happen. It was such a tempting offer.
"I'm game, so what were you thinking? And how mad are we thinking of making him? My speed and skills are at your service."
#ask#haeroes#You know that yj fanart where the core four call eachother by their full names and all suffer because of it? Thad's what Katie calling Thad#'Thaddy' did to him. He suffered psychic damage Katie.

*pops back in here* That was the most confusing entry yet, and I can’t figure out if the parts before Tim meets back up with Jay aren’t supposed to make a lot of sense, or if I’m missing something.
:3c it's so much fun, I think entry 66 helps to clear up things Just a little but!! i am always happy to write about things >:3c can't tell for Certain if you were angling for that or not tho so just in case you were Not i'll put it under a cut so you can read/ignore it at your leisure !!
Entry 65 is fun because it's a real flex of power from the Operator that we don't usually see from it. There have been hints of it before, like in entry 23, but nothing to this degree. The events that take place after Tim is left behind in the Tunnel are a combination of the Operator's influence and a flare up of Tim's trauma, which does make for a confusing viewing experience lol
The Operator has been shown to be able to effect/warp both time and space before. Not only altering people's memories, which would give the Illusion of time/place distortions, but genuine impact of both those elements. In Entry 23 while exploring Brian's house, Jay is seemingly teleported around the house (and eventually out of it completely) by this force. During the second season - mid to late March - on Twitter, Jay has a couple of weeks where he appears to be experiencing a combination of memory issues And time distortion - he posts about a headache, wakes up a week later in his car with no memory of how he got there, and says he's going back to the hotel, seemingly takes over a week to arrive there, and then takes another week to upload the next Entry, despite talking as if these things are happening within short order of each other.
^That's half of what's happening to Tim in Entry 65 - the Operator's influence distorting space and time around him, bringing him to various parts of the forest, under water, in the Ark, etc. and then back to his car (all in the time it takes Jay to run back to the parking lot linearly)
As for the other half of it: In Entry 66 Tim elaborates a bit on his experiences in childhood inpatient that came to light around Entry 60. The hospital in the Rosswood area that keeps cropping up in the latter two seasons is the actual hospital that Tim stayed in as a child, before it burned down - this is why he returns there after the events in the forest. I can't remember which Entry specifies, but Tim used to manage to escape the hospital fairly frequently as a child and would almost always be found wandering around Rosswood park before being brought back.
While he's in the burnt out shell of the hospital as it exists presently, he experiences several flashbacks to his time there, wandering around lost and begging for help/to be let out. Around the 8:30 mark, he also overdoses on his medication (it's left ambiguous whether this was intentional or not) which also impacts his coherency for the latter part of the entry. He has been up to date on the Marble Hornets channel at this point - so his reaction to the 'HE IS A LIAR' graffiti is because he knows totheark was talking about Him when they wrote it (even though he doesn't have the memories providing context for why they feel betrayed by him).
(Part of that Entry that always snags at my attention is when Tim collapses at the 11 minute mark, if you pay attention you can see the camera shifting with his breath/heartbeat since it's mounted on his chest, and see the way it slows to a near stop Just before the footage cuts OAUGH)
#hopefully this clarifies a little bit if you want it to!! some mild spoilers for Entry 66 though so if you haven't watched that one#I might watch it first before coming to read this if you're interested; it does help add some context on its own as well!!#tried to keep this moderately bare bones so hopefully it helps explain a little without being completely bogged down with details lmao

happy toastn't thursday!!! im not planning on doing much today. i gotta vacuum and mop floors and do some laundry but that shouldn't take long! honestly i think i'll spend most of the day reading fanfic LMAO
i also wanna get some overwatch comp in maybe possibly. im not like, devastated abt ranking plat 1, considering that even big mercy mains like skiesti are ranking lower when they play mercy, but im eager to get back into diamond if possible lmao mercy is hurting so much rn yall im in hell.
i also wanna play a bit of supermarket sim lmao. im doing that thing where if i enjoy something a lot i don't let myself do it???? as like a punishment i guess i don't know man. juice told me to stop so im gonna try actually playing today o7
recently ive been watching a lot of anime! apothecary diaries is actually really good khflksjdg im living for the drama! i can't believe tim suggested an anime im really liking LMAO me and socks have been watching a sign of affection as well! im shocked she's really into it considering it's a slice of life, but i guess it makes sense because it's disability rep and she finds it interesting :3c
ive also been watching cherry magic! i watched the live action a couple years back, and honestly so far i kind of prefer it? the anime isn't bad, i'm just not a huge fan of the art style. i can't believe i'm fully back to my BL roots LMAO it's a shame that tgcf brought me back here because i really don't think anything is gonna get me the same way it did sflkjghsldfkg
anyway i hope u all have a good day!!!! make sure u drink lots of water and take care of urself ♥

Medieval au if you’re still doing them? Royalty perhaps even
YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT ABOUT THESE DIDN'T YOU okay well maybe i did a little bit but also im just [waves my hand while nothing but static comes out of my mouth]
anyway i'm just gonna go ahead and say this is the same as this verse
-. Dick would be next in line for the throne but instead chose to marry Queen Koriand'r and forfeited his right o the throne
-. Bruce is absolutely aware that Jason is smitten with Tim and is actually quite happy for the two of them. However he has resting bitch face and is terrible at communication (shocking, i know) so Tim thinks he hates him 😂
-. if anyone's a problem about the relationship it's Jack, who would normally be all about Tim marrying up in terms of social status but thinks Jason is a low born, throne stealing theif
-. Jason isn't at all interested in taking the throne for the prestige or anything but he is very passionate about improving quality of life in the kingdom
-. Tim and Jason met basically through a series of galas after Jason was first adopted and honestly. honestly. it was just the opening sequence to swan princess except with a happier ending with them getting to know each other over years until their first kiss :3c
-. Tim is the one who kissed Jason. It wasn't any kind of special day or anything, really, just Tim returning from a trip his parents took him on (which he suspects at least slightly to be specifically to separate him from seeing Jason) and well. distance makes the heart grow fonder and Tim realized just how much he liked Jason and acted on it at the earliest opportunity.
#astrix answers#am i sorry this took so long? yes#but am i also like we'll get there when we get there? also yes#jaytim

alrighty fellas you know what time it is!!
the kon character study is heavy on kon & ma, pre-relationship timkon, and kon & bart, among others. existential dread of the "i spent my entire childhood (what little of it i had) suicidal and then i did die but it didn't stick and i don't know what to do" variety. open-ended timeframe honestly like Whenever.
amok tim is. well. go watch star trek: the original series season 2 episode 1 "amok time" specifically the last ten minutes or so ("live long and prosper, spock." "i shall do neither: i have killed my captain and my friend.") and you'll have a decent idea of what tim thinks he's just done. ideally i want this one done by oct 14... there's like 2 scenes left...
halloween fic... this one is a secret :3c but obviously i want it done by halloween. and i haven't started it yet. so maybe that should be a priority? idk.
#rimi talks#poll says itll run for a day but as ever i will be grabbing results in a couple hours hjkfsd

// Part two! NiGHTS JoD / Balan Wonderworld crossover [part one]. Reala finally arrives in Time Out & doesn’t like it :3c
...I’m posting this before my unofficial beta has had a chance to review it. No regrets.
------
It was then, as it happened, that Balan suddenly appeared between them with that same toothy grin and flourish he always wore. There it was, and he couldn’t have it. Not here. Not in his theatre so long as he was still Maestro. Although, Balan suspected that NiGHTS was just as ready for a fight as their twin, shifting focus between the two of them with a practised air of mischief. Showtime. Something glimmered, tucked into Reala’s bracer, and Balan tipped his hat to him. “If I may interrupt--pardon me if this is abrupt. Yet, it seems the two of you are very late, indeed. Although, one ticket is all you’ll really need. So, with that in hand, please follow me for a venture most grand.”
Balan snapped and the withered flowers sprung back to life, sparkling brilliantly under the dimming lights. A spotlight shone on the pair, but NiGHTS was nowhere to be seen. Oh, but they were there! One thing at a time. Two, then three, then more copies of Balan swirled around the baffled red jester. Each and every one of them coaxing and herding Reala toward a door that simply materialised out of nothing--as most things did--and as most things did, Reala needed all of the pushing and prodding Balan could afford. He fought the spirited Maestro every step of the way, only to find that his claws tore through the illusions like mist. He hissed. Yet, the door only drew closer. Closer still.
It opened--a wellspring of solid blackness the likes Reala was all too familiar with. Home and nothing more. Yet, the darkness closed around him like a heavy curtain of dread, subduing his senses and eliminating all hope of escape. Balan--one of them--closed the door with a hush, sealing away one last frantic attempt to see, to know where his sibling had gone. Then, it was quiet. The Isle of Tims slowly brightened, an empty patch of flowers rippling in the breeze where Reala had just been. NiGHTS looked on, dazzled and aghast.
“What did you do to my brother?!”
… … …
“Welcome to my Wonderworld -- or should I say yours? A realm of mystery behind locked doors. Enjoy your stay... ‘til you find what it is you’ve hidden away.” Another Balan announced with a sweeping bow, smirking at Reala from under the brim of his hat. Oh, you’d only done this to yourself, dear Nightmare; for what’s fair was fair, and fair it was for Balan to challenge the challenger who’d so boldly entered his domain bearing hostility. NiGHTS was something of a special case, but their sibling… tsk. Balan wasn’t extending the same patience, vanishing in a glittering puff of smoke before Reala could even think about his bearings--let alone find them.
Reala swiped at the remnants to be sure. Nothing. Not even a single sparkle remained in the dreary void; shadows danced and played at his feet. It was home. It was home. Yet, it wasn’t. Try as he might, wandering Nightmare’s infinite darkness, he couldn’t sense the presence of other Nightmaren--not that there were many left in the real Nightmare after the fall of Wizeman. A fool, maybe, he was to think… he tried, of course. Reala had learned how to create the small ones in his Master’s absence. Yet, nothing was the same, and in this hell pit--wherever Balan had sent him--nothing ever would be.
He lashed out in the sprawling, eternal midnight; yet, his claws found no purchase no matter how far he traveled or how much energy he squandered. Always the same. Home wasn’t this empty, Reala reassured himself. Nightmare was more welcoming. It was where he and his kind belonged. Fuming, a vision of NiGHTS flickered in his memory. Traitor. Betrayer. Rebel. Brother. Someday, Nightmare would reclaim them, and then they’d see. They’d be forced to understand. The two of them at their Master’s side, that was their place. Eternally.
Yet, lost in the dark as he was, Reala’s vision of a perfect future laid out of reach. He stopped, staring into nothing as he caught his breath. Nothing stared back. No one was there. No Tims. No Negati. No Balan. No NiGHTS. No Master. It felt like endless falling. Although, what a ridiculous notion! A Nightmaren blessed with the power of flight, indeed, that he was. To think that he could somehow sink into the abyss while hovering perfectly still..! Reala squeezed his eyes shut. Focus. Balan sent him here. There had to be an exit. Another door. A crack in this unreality. Anything, something worthwhile.
Fading into his thoughts, the ichorous nothingness surrounding Reala melted away, pooling at the fringes of reality -- the stage. Jagged shapes, checkered in red, black, and violet, rose upon the horizon, circling in. Closer. As if sensing the change, something unknowable compelled Reala to reach out; he wanted to touch, to feel, as unseen curtains raised on an adventure freshly kindled. Jolting awake, Reala’s pupils were no larger than slits as his fingertips caught the sharp edges of an empty throne. His. He recognised this place, but where had it…? Why was it? How?
Swathing the arena in dim light, the bluish glow of torchlights answered no one.
Reala was still alone.
Time passed slowly, stretching across untold eons.
--or maybe hours?
Why was he here? Why was he really here? Ghostly vague memories haunted him; yet, the longer Reala chased after them, sat upon his throne in eerie silence, the further they eluded his grasp. Memories of white, pink, and purple--of wilted flowers, a broken clock, and bitter words. Memories of a grinning man whose face was bathed in shadow. He remembered their irksome yellow eyes. He remembered his anger, but he always remembered that. What was so incredibly special about this case? Why was he here? What was here?
He was here.
This was his room.
--and there was someone else here.
The intruder flitted in a graceful circle just outside Reala’s reach, intent on something he couldn’t be sure of. A trail of ethereal stars twinkled and vanished in their wake, just short of intersecting. Reala rose from his seat, watching the spectacle guardedly. They flew the perimeter once, then twice, rebounding after one final curve and barreling straight toward Reala--only to come to an unceremonious halt at eye level. They stared, expectant and yet somehow unimpressed. Deep blue eyes betrayed nothing happy, nothing sad. Not even angry. Reala’s lip curled, but he was all too quickly silenced.
“Is this where you’ve been?” NiGHTS asked flatly, hand resting atop their hip. “We’ve been waiting on you for a long time. You know Master Wizeman isn’t very patient.”

@delusionland asked: CALLOUT. dick & jason! >: 3c
‘ i don’t know how you ever saw me as golden. ’ he can’t help but chuckle a little , looking up at the sky. ‘ i understand it from tim because he had seen me at my best -- a performer in the circus , with my first family -- but you’d only ever saw me at my worst.
‘ and , yes , i even do mean my years as robin. i , i think those years gave other people more hope than it ever did for me. being robin didn’t cure my grief , it didn’t give me happiness , it was an outlet for my grief like batman is for bruce. just like how batman was a dream of an eight year old crying over his parents at crime alley , robin was my way of taking my parents with me wherever i went. i wouldn’t give up what i gained through being robin -- you , the titans , the rest of the family -- for the world , or even for my parents back , but you did more work at establishing robin’s legacy and what robin means now more than i ever did.
‘ in a lot of ways , i’ve been complacent what bruce has been doing over the years to the rest of you. hell , i’ve continued it , with damian , but... i’ve never once judged you poorly because you’ve killed people. maybe sometimes in the ways , if it was particularly brutal , but not for the thought , and definitely not for giving into the urge. i can’t , not after giving into the urge myself and letting other people dirty their hands for me.
‘ i can’t judge you on anything you’ve done , but i just wish you understood that i want to be a part of your family , even if bruce isn’t , even if you never speak to bruce again. and , i know , maybe i’m saying this�� now , and i still might try to get you to talk to bruce later because that’s just what i do , but regardless on how you think of me , i’ll always think of you as my little brother.
‘ but , you’re better than me in every way possible , and i hope you know that , jayce. ’

Headcanons on The Gangs favorite fall drinks? :3c
Claire screams Pumpkin spice everything to me. She's that ride or die fall girl. Halloween is her favorite hoilday and she's not afraid to admit it She loves Tim Burton movies with a passion and gets really happy when Halloween Town Twitches and classic Disney Halloween movies come on. She's probably that girl singing the Spooky Scary Skeletons song even though it's September. If she could she'd dress up all of October just because she can but she'll settle for black and orange eyeshadow and purple lipstick. Probably owns a ton of costume stuff in her closet.
Jim seems like apple cider dude. He's more into Christmas than Halloween but he finds the season fun. He has good memories of him and Toby going Trick or Treating. Probably bakes a lot of seasonal fall things like pumpkin bread and different pies. He loves going to the pumpkin patch the most and enjoys carving when the season rolls around.
Toby is a hot coco guy. He loves his Hot chocolate with cinnamon and lots of whipcream and marshmallows and decorative Halloween sprinkles. He's a comfy sweaters and chilling with a book by a fire soul. He's also the guy that'll trick or treat until he's 20 and has to stop. He likes Spring but Falls really cool too!
