[i-want-my-iwtv]

(continued) I damn near exploded with anger, but also was able to concede how someone could come to that conclusion.

Hmm. I hope you're being hyperbolic, Anon, I mean, I'm glad you didn't explode with anger on your friend, and I'm glad you conceded how someone might come to the conclusion that there is/are problematic content/elements in a gothic horror story/series. 😬

I don't think this was a question, more of a confession/comment? I censored it for reasons below*. Whether it's IWTV canon, the '94 movie, the 2022 TV show, etc... I would say that if you enjoy it, allow that your friend has made a comment and you can talk with them about why they think it's bad, that could be an interesting conversation if it's in good faith!

I can say that in general, these stories/characters/ships are not intended to appeal to everyone, I consider canon to be a buffet where I can pick and choose what I like and skip over what I don't!

TL;DR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read. Applies to you, your friend, etc. Hopefully it won't cost you your friendship, but if it does, well, life goes on. I am not comfortable discussing certain topics publicly because fandom is a hostile environment at this time, and I come here for a fun little escape from reality in my limited free time, not to police anyone or be policed myself.

Hit the jump for more, cut for length.

~~~

*So, I wanted to take this as quick opportunity to share some thoughts on answering asks like these, because there is some fresh blood in the fandom who may not be aware... Assuming Anon wanted to ask if I agreed with their friend or not, the question wasn't quite clear. In general:

I've been in fandom long enough that I can say that the intention for questions like these is sometimes good, to spark intriguing conversations about how ~X problematic thing~ applies to various ships, whether it's harmful to the characters or maybe just part of their nature as vampires, so it's normal for them (as an example, "Was Armand cutting off Nicki's hands an abusive act, or is that a standard punishment that a coven master would commonly do to aberrant vampires? He didn't gloat about it, and he did return/reattach them after all!"), etc.... in other times, this could be a chance for an intellectually stimulating conversation and I would have enjoyed unpacking it with ppl.

Other times, especially currently in 2024 (to timestamp this), these questions are often in bad faith as a means to provoke an unwinnable debate; pinning a fan of a piece of media (the target/person) into defensive position of ~X problematic thing~ in fiction, which often becomes a slippery slope to accuse that target/person of "promoting/endorsing/supporting ~X problematic thing~ in real life!" This is then used to vilify the target/person when they insist that "Fiction is not reality," "Depiction is not endorsement," etc. etc.. As the person continues to defend themselves the bad faith actors escalate their harassment, this is fun sport for them. This can lead to dogpiling on the target/person with hateanons, online character/reputation assassination, or even real life consequences including doxxing. All this over a piece of fiction. It's extremely risky, it's entrapment, I have seen it happen and been a mild target for it over the years, it's unpleasant at best and ruinous at worst.

And I’ll also quote the description from @ozhawkauthor of one of The 3 Laws of Fandom, which applies to canon, fanfic, adaptations, all fiction!:

The First Law of Fandom Don’t Like; Don’t Read (DL;DR) It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone else’s place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical. There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it - STOP.

I used to wrap things up by saying smtg positive like "Let's all get along!" but that in itself was picked on for some reason, so I'll just end it here ✨

Type Of Boyfriend They Are

Karasuno x Gender Neutral!Reader Headcanons

Warnings: Language. That's pretty much it.

Author's Note: I've been having a pretty heavy case of writer's block especially with a lot of things going on in my life right now. My mental health is a bit unstable, but I had this idea written down in my list of writing ideas and thought that it was so cute. I hope you all enjoy, and I'll probably make headcanons for the rest of the schools too!

Hope you all enjoy and I hope that you all are doing well <3

~Mod Shoyo <3

-Kageyama, Shoyo, Yamaguchi, Tsukishima, Daichi, Asahi, Sugawara, Tanaka, Noya

Kageyama Tobio:

He’s very stand-offish when the two of you first meet

“uh… can I help you?”

Once the two of you get to know each other though, you find out that he’s actually a closeted crackhead under that harsh exterior he has

After dating for a couple of months, he’s very comfortable with you and loves spending time with you

QUALITY TIME AND GIFT GIVING BOYFRIEND.

Whether you like volleyball or not, he’s asking you to help him practice, come to his games, come to his practice matches, he wants you to be there for EVERYTHING

If you manage to show your support by making him a sign or putting his number on your cheeks at one of his games??????

He definitely will deny it, but he absolutely adores it.

“You should do this more often, it was sweet.”

Shoyo teases you guys all the time and says that you’re the only one that brings out the rational side of Tobio

That will normally end with Shoyo getting hurt somehow, no matter how much you tell Kageyama to leave him alone

You still love him though <3

Hinata Shoyo:

OH MY GODDDDDDDDD

The absolute biggest ball of sunshine ever

Golden. Retriever. Boyfriend. 

He’s very heavy on physical touch and quality time

No matter what you’re doing, Shoyo always wants to be there just to see what you’re doing

“Ooh whatcha up to lovey?”

He’s like a lap dog. He will lay his head in your lap just so he can stare up at you while you’re doing whatever you’re doing

Whenever you show up to his games he gets SO NERVOUS???? Like his stomach issues multiply by a hundred because you’re literally in the stands to watch HIM.

In the end, he always tries his best because he wants you to be so proud of him and enjoy watching him play!!

Everyone on the team loves you, you’re literally the only person that can make Shoyo shut up for more than five minutes because he just LOVES to admire you and appreciate how perfect you are.

“You’re so gorgeous… we should like… kiss or something.”

He’s so affectionate it’s too cute.

Yamaguchi Tadashi:

Tadashi just loves when you’re being you.

He’s always sneaking glances at you and just thinking about how soft your features are and how lucky he is to have bagged someone like you.

GIFT GIVING. GIFT GIVING. GIFT GIVING.

“Hey love, I found this super cute keychain while I was at the store with Tsuki the other day and it reminded me of you!”

“I remember you saying that this was your favorite and they only had one left, so I had to get it before someone else that wasn’t you did!”

He’s just so thoughtful. He always remembers the little things.

The very first day you kissed him? He celebrates it every year by giving you a million smooches.

You only like one very specific flavor of ice cream? He will never ever give you a different flavor and goes to multiple stores if he has to when they don’t have it

He isn’t the biggest with PDA, but he will most definitely hold your hand and kiss your cheek, forehead, or your hand.

He just gets a little shy when he’s out in public with you, but only because he doesn’t want other people looking at you and thinking that they have a chance with you.

He’s so non-confrontational, but if push comes to shove, he’ll make sure that everyone knows you’re his.

He just loves you so much and he’s so glad that you’re his. Forever. <3

Kei Tsukishima:

HE’S SO SARCASTIC IT’S ANNOYING.

Likes to play this game in public where he acts like he isn’t your boyfriend

“Excuse me, do I know you?”

HE LITERALLY HELD HANDS WITH YOU WALKING INTO THE STORE?!?!??!

You can be sarcastic too, so he’s just glad that you can take jokes and rip on his teammates or randos in the street

This dude has such a killer resting bitch face when he notices people eyeing you.

Noya tested his luck flirting with you one time and, despite Noya being his upperclassman, Tsuki almost killed him with just one look

He secretly loves how much you fuss over him.

“Babe, your glasses are so DIRTY. Here let me clean them before you run into something,”

He literally stopped the habit of cleaning his lenses because you’ll just take them and clean them for him

He loves watching you fog the lenses up with your breath and wipe them with the microfiber cloth that came in his case

Even if you only look like a big blur of colors to him and you’re all blurry <3

Tanaka Ryuunosuke:

The most respectful yet horny boyfriend at the same time

“What the hell do you mean that guy cat called you?”

He says as his hand is resting on your ass, giving it an occasional squeeze from time to time.

Very overprotective, but not in an overbearing way

Despite how loud and chaotic he may be (especially when he’s with Noya) he always picks up on your small cues and knows when you’re uncomfy or feeling a little out of place

He loves to bring you up at all times

“You know that’s crazy, because my baby loves to eat meat buns and can easily smash like seven of them in one sitting. *sigh* I’m so in love.”

Daichi literally just told him what he ate for lunch today when Tanaka asked.

PDA is his JAM.

Always has a hand somewhere on you and loves how you just nuzzle into his touch whenever he’s with you

It’s everything he’s ever wanted in life and he’s so stoked that he finally has it

His favorite place is your ass though. It’s easy access and it’s very soft and comfy in his palm

Nishinoya Yuu:

SOMEONE SEDATE HIM HE’S SO ENERGETIC

The type of boyfriend to annoy you and push your buttons all day and then just lay a million kisses all over your face at the end of the day as he tells you how much he loves you

He’s so hyped up to do anything with you

He’s definitely the type to enjoy running errands with you because he pretends that you’re married already and that these errands are just married couple tingz

He loves to embarrass you in public

Yall will be at a store while you’re just looking at clothes and trying to find some new outfits before he starts yelling as loud as he can so that people from five aisles down can hear him

“OH MY GOD YOU CAN’T STEAL THAT SHIRT BABE, WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!”

You literally walk away and act like you don’t know him for the rest of the day

Nonetheless, he’s so appreciative of you and makes sure you know how much he loves you

The second that you first announced to the team that you were dating, you could’ve sworn you saw tears of joy falling from Kiyoko’s eyes

You keep him grounded and always help bring him out of the dark places his mind goes to when he messes up during games

Hearing you tell him how good of a libero he is and how amazing he is always snaps him out of things. He’d be a wreck without you

Daichi Sawamura:

The most caring boyfriend ever literally what the fuck-

He worries about your well-being all the time and isn’t afraid to show how much he cares about you no matter where you guys are

Sure, he’ll scold you for being clumsy and tripping in the gym, but also?

“Why the hell did they wax the floors before we started practicing? We’re just gonna dirty them again anyways?”

He’s such a passionate lover

“Hey, you look like you’ve got a lot on your mind. What can I do to fix that?”

SO MATURE IN A RELATIONSHIP.

He’s so good with communicating his feelings to you and wants you to know whatever’s going on with him and reassure you no matter what

Absolutely adores pressing kisses to your temples. He loves how you just stare into his eyes with the biggest smile ever and can see your pupils shift into hearts every time he does it

The two of you just make so much sense being together? Match made in heaven type of shit

His very older brother/dad morals have rubbed off on you and now you’re yelling at the boys the same way that he does. 

He always whispers to Suga or Asahi about how proud he is of you while watching you scold someone for being immature 

Asahi Azumane:

The literal definition of Cottage Core

When you hung out with him at his house for the first time, he had so many succulents and well-cared for plants

He’s so soft, he just loves you so much

He loves when you give him scalp massages after taking his bun down

Whenever you go to his house after practice, he’ll shower and have you wash his hair for him because he can’t relieve the tension he feels on his head like you do

He writes you love letters and leaves them in such random places for you to find

“Hey honey, did you leave a letter in my bento box? When I opened it, it had a little bit of curry sauce on it.”

He just blushes and giggles slightly, pressing a kiss to the top of your head.

Loves to call you the cringiest/cutest pet names ever.

Honey pie, sweetums, sugar plum…

You giggle every time he says it out loud because his teammates can’t help but make fun of him whenever they hear it

They’re so cringe coming out of anyone else’s mouth. Not his though <3

Sugawara Koushi:

You will never ever catch Suga smelling bad.

Even after practice, you can’t smell that musty stench of sweat on him because it’s masked by all the deodorant he puts on.

MOST DEFINITELY smells like a bath and body works scent. It changes depending on the season and he loves smelling good according to the season

“Suga, is that… champagne toast?”

You bet your sweet ass it is.

Suga gives the most heartfelt and warm hugs in the world, it’s like hugging a warm blanket.

He’s so loving and it shows in all of his words and actions.

“Aww darling, let me wipe your nose. I told you it was going to be cold and to wear a thicker sweater when we talked on the phone this morning,”

When he says stuff like that his face is literally just >:(

His kisses are so soft. He loves to kiss your nose because of the way it scrunches up after his lips leave

“Do you not like my kisses?” Smooch. “Is that what you’re trying to tell me?” Mwuah. “I won’t stop until you accept my kisses.”

You just keep scrunching it because you love when he kisses you. He knows that, he just loves to make it a little fake argument between you two <3

[ryva]

yall

i just KNOW that if you praised Bakugou about being a good boyfriend, he would be putty. not even in any sort of sexual way, just that if you kissed him on his cheek and thanked him for doing some simple ass chore for you he would be whipped (looking at you all lovey dovey.)

just imagining cuddling together in the most comfy clothes, laying on his chest. "you're so good to me, 'tsuki, " you kiss him on the jaw, "the best." you lay your head back on his chest before you're smothered by kisses all over your face. ending up with the both of you giggling all happy and domestic <3

[kawaii-sugarii]

Dropping in some holiday exclusive racers! From the far left to the far right, they are:

• Kitty Webcake, the Halloween racer. She's a mischievous girl, and very reckless, to the point of getting herself in trouble quite often. She loves pranks, cat related puns, and anything spooky. Her theme is Halloween cupcakes.

• Yulia Tsuki, the Christmas racer. She's quiet, peaceful, and caring of others, though she is stubborn and quite forgetful. She loves winter, getting cozy by the fireplace, and bringing joy to others. Her theme is a Yule log.

• Haato Cherrydip, the Valentine's Day racer. He's charming, lovey-dovey, and charismatic like an idol. He's all about love and bringing couples together, though he himself is a cheesy flirt. His theme is chocolate dipped cherries.

• Meggy Peeps, the Easter racer. She's a happy-go-lucky bunny girl with a goal of making everyone happy, and she won't let anyone stop her. She always makes sure to leave surprises for everyone. Her theme is a marshmallow bunny.

These are the 4 holiday racers I've created... But I'm not done yet! There's one more holiday exclusive character!

Grandpa Ice!

*ahem*

The Santa Claus of Sugar Rush, Champaul Ice (but everyone just calls him Grandpa Ice). He's a jolly old man that takes on the role of Santa Claus, even though he's actually more like Ded Moroz (Дед мороз). His theme is champagne, the drink of choice for New Year.

Unlike the holiday racers, Grandpa Ice is limited to his appearances in Sugar Rush. Due to this, it's been assumed that he's like a spirit of sorts, physically appearing around the time of New Year, about from late December to early January. He brings good fortune to those on the good list. As for those on the naughty list...he gives them a freezing cold bonk in the head with his staff, which results in a massive brain freeze, and because of this, a warning got spread out that if they misbehave or if they're being naughty, Grandpa Ice will come "freeze their head".

↳ ❀⋆*. welcome to infinite entertainment! it’s SONG CHAERIN (CASSI), who is the MAIN DANCER of ESTELLA. i’ve heard whispers that the 25 year old is pretty AFFECTIONATE but lowkey SENSITIVE. also, doesn’t she remind you of CHO MIYEON?

— check out her stats, plots, kprofile & pinterest mwah ♡

GROWING UP

chaerin was born in seattle, washington on june 26, 2000

she’s very close to her parents, being an only child

her parents are some of her favorite people in the world, they really shaped her into how she is today

growing up, she watched how they loved each other — and experienced it herself — and even if they struggled financially from time to time, it never wavered and she fell in love with it and hoped to continue that legacy

but their love wasn’t only exclusive to their little family, they extended it outwards as well

her parents ran a family owned restaurant, passed down from her grandparents and she worked there too starting when she was 13 as a waitress

she loved school, mostly for her friends and art electives though, she was pretty average in regular classes

INFINITE & ESTELLA

at 3 years old,, chaerin was first fascinated by dance by watching her aunt, who was a ballerina, at one of her performances and she fell in love with it

so her parents saved up for dance classes a year later and little rin was Thriving

and she continued dancing throughout her life, mostly specializing in contemporary and ballroom but of course, her excitement and the way dancing made her feel had her wanting to learn as many genres as she can

except ballet, even if that was the genre that got her her young mind motivated to dance. she’s still working on that one

in 2018 after infinite found a video of her dancing on her social media,, they reached out to be a backup dancer for their new artists

she was excited but hesitant and it was hard to leave her family but this was an opportunity to pursue her dream so it was a no brainer

at 18, she was off to korea to train more on her dancing skills, and soon she'd be apart of infinite's dance team™

rin’s mostly danced for michelle but after the acquisition, was able to venture out into other soloists and groups as well

for that reason, she was pretty happy for the merger

her professional name is the same as her english name, which is cassi

after gaining some notable attention, the company approached her for a potential idol debut after 3 years of being a backup dancer

her idol training began at 21, focusing more on vocals and rap

2 years later, estella’s cassi was born as main dancer, lead rapper and vocalist !!!!

she is often recognized for her facial expressions and her detail oriented style dancing on stage, very much tsuki and hikaru

PERSONALITY

she is VERY affectionate, baby loves giving and receiving love so prepare urself for a stage 5 clinger

rin will flirt with u but if u flirt with her then she’ll wonder what u guys are for the next 5 years

she’s pretty confident in herself, in her looks and skills and the way she carries herself

also sensitive !! being sensitive isn’t necessarily a bad thing but i think in her case, she’s overly sensitive like she gets attached to people and things and ideas quickly

she feels things very deeply so the chances of her holding grudges is pretty high

says she’s good with criticism but that’s a damn lie (spoiler: she’ll get teary eyed after the first word)

like don’t let her being lovey dovey deter u from negative plots, she can get Petty

her go-to is the silent treatment, it’s a problem

a little ditzy but that's okay

i think the only time her brain fully functions is when it comes to dancing and choreographies

OTHER

soft, soft, soft

GENTLE

u probably have to repeat urself like 5 times when ur talking to her (fun fact: i am once again projecting)

her style is peak feminine

she’s pansexual

loves dogs like LOVES them, she loves all animals but dogs are her favorite

she often volunteers at dog shelters whenever she can

likes to bake

when she’s stressed, expect 6 dozens of brownies

writes love letters for her friends on their bdays

that’s all i can think of and i might add more idk,, apologies if this got too long hhhh but im excited to bring her in !! she’s so different from jian, reiko, and (kinda) jaemin and i love the thought of the contrast she’ll bring in my writing :’) lmk if ur interested in plotting or i’ll come to u !!

K-Pop Scandals 2022

Another year has gone by, but there were still some mishaps, dating rumors, lawsuits, and controversies in the world of K-pop. A lot of groups lost members or disbanded this year, either because artists wanted to move on from the idol world or because there were some messy behind the scenes fights with their agencies. So, here’s my annual list of the most important scandals of 2022.

♥ Pairing: Natsuki x Kazutora

♥ Event: 25 Days of Christmas 2022

♥ Prompt: "If you don't have gloves, you can just hold my hand."

♥ wc: 1.2k

♥ a.n: This is meant to take place when Kazutora, Natsuki, and Baji are 11/12.

Meeting after dark wasn't unusual for them. Natsuki worked at a small, underground club until the early hours of the morning. It had been Baji who met her at the corner of the alley, insisting on seeing her back to her foster home safely, but recently, a certain golden eyed, timid tiger had been joining their late-night outings.

"We've been standin' out here forever, freezing our asses off," Baji complained, blowing into his hands in a poor attempt to warm up his frigid digits.

Natsuki shivered as the breeze of wind tickled the bare skin of her thighs not covered by the thigh-high stockings. Snow had begun to stick to the ground, making it a dangerous time to be without sturdy boots. "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you alright?" Her words pointed at the quiet boy beside her longtime friends.

"Yeah, I'm fine-" Kazutora's breath caught in his throat when the girl bounded up to him, her pretty face inches from his. Blue irises gazing at him with affection and concern. He wasn’t used to a girl’s attention, let alone a girl gushing over him without restraint.

“Why the hell ain’t you worried about me?” Baji asked, kicking an empty can that sent a puff of white snow into the air. It was colder than balls out here and he was itching to do something.

Natsuki ignored her longtime friend, instead her gaze fell to find her beloved Kazutora without any gloves. “Oh, aren’t your hands cold? If you don’t have gloves, you can just hold my hand, ‘Tora.” She didn’t give him a chance to respond, instead taking his cold hands between hers.

As if he could sputter out a response. His cheeks were burning as his heart flipped in his chest. Her hands were warm, and soft. Golden orbs were focused on her slender fingers wrapped delicately around his own. Kazutora lost all sense of being when she was around.

“No lovey dovey shit when we’ve got plans-” Baji wasn’t impressed by the scene. He’d known Natsuki to be friendly with everyone, but she’d gone full girlfriend mode with their newest member. It was as if no one else was on her radar. Which, he didn’t give a shit about, except when it was freezing outside, and he had to watch the spectacle.

“Ah- hey-” Natsuki protested, being tugged along by the back of her collar. She flailed, torn away from Kazutora and stumbling to keep up with Baji’s quick pace. “Don’t be rude-”

“Shut it, Tsuki. We’re late because of you.”

Kazutora followed, the only one not aware of the night's plans. Baji invited him to a special event, giving no details except that it would be fun as hell. And he really didn’t want to spend another Christmas Eve alone in his home.

“I was working.” Natsuki managed to twist out of his hold, slowing to match her pace with Kazutora. She claimed credit for inviting him, even though she had doubts that Baji had the same idea. Their duo had evolved into a trio, and it was nice to have a bridge between the two big, opposite personalities. “It’s the annual Christmas car bomb.”

“Christmas car bomb?” It sounded epic. Kazutora buzzed with adrenaline at the thought of what it could entail. His life was so empty before meeting them. Boring. Dull. Now, he spent his nights raging with Baji, and Natsuki made his heart flip in his chest every time she smiled at him.

Natsuki snickered, lacing her fingers with his to hold his hand. “Don’t get too excited. There’s no real bomb. Keisuke just sucks at naming shit.”

“Hey!” Baji shot her a scowl.

“I think it’s cool,” Kazutora replied, blushing once again with her small hand warm in his. He’d never had a girlfriend, never even had a girl look at him, but Natsuki was different from any other girl. He swallowed down the lump in his throat.

She was unbelievably pretty, dark blue eyes like the deep ocean, alluring and dangerous, but promising something far more amazing if one took the risk. Upbeat and wild. She wasn’t afraid to show her affection. He still vividly remembered her soft lips and the taste of her peach lip gloss the first time she kissed him. Natsuki’s gaze reflected genuine affection.

He’d no idea why she wanted to be some dull nobody like him.

“Let’s get this party started!” Baji howled, tossing Kazutora a baseball bat.

The junkyard was empty at this time of night, and the back fence was conveniently broken, giving the kids easy access.

The two boys trashed the car first, bashing in the windows and lights. Baji said it got the blood pumping. What better way to let out some rage than smash a car into bits and then light it on fire?

“So, you and Baji do this every year?” Kazutora asked, adrenaline still pumping through his tired body as he watched the ablaze car. His two new friends were so fuckin cool. He’d never have done something like this before meeting them.

Natsuki swung her legs, sitting on the hood of another junked car beside him. She swirled a candy cane in her mouth, savoring the taste before answering. “For the last two years. It’s way better than being alone on Christmas Eve, don’t you think?” She surely didn’t want to be in that tiny room in her foster home, with no heat and shrouded in darkness.

“Definitely.” He couldn’t agree more.

Kazutora thought her to be like a bright star, radiating this light that drew him in. As she stared up at the moonlit sky, he studied her profile. It was unreal how a girl so pretty was hanging out with Baji, let alone him. She didn’t fit into any mold, and he liked that about her.

“This is our first Christmas together, Kazutora,” Natsuki said, noticing his lingering gaze. He got this adorable expression from time to time, innocent and curious, like he didn’t understand why she liked him. It always made her want to kiss him, to show him that he was special.

So, she did. Only a little peck, but it was enough.

“Natsu-” Kazutora flushed pink, golden eyes darting away. He couldn’t escape, not with her hands holding his face. She’d tasted of peppermint. First Christmas... meaning that she wanted to spend more of them with him.

“Fucking hell. I didn’t sign up for this shit.” Baji interrupted, returning from his quick trip to take a leak. He’d known Natsuki for a long time, and her general affection for all her friends was seen as strange to most. But he could admit that she’d changed after meeting Kazutora.

It was genuine. She truly felt a spark with him.

But that doesn’t mean he wants to watch.

Natsuki’s lips quirked up into a mischievous smirk. “Sorry, Keisuke. Did you want a Christmas kiss too?” She lunged at him, arms latching around his neck and clinging to him like a spider.

“Fuck no! Get off me-” Baji was never rough on her, but he was strong enough to pry the girl off. He kept her at arm's length, annoyed at her antics. But he was so used to it.

The fire burned on for quite some time, warming the kids as they talked and joked around, making Christmas Eve entertaining in their own way. None of them wanted to go home, not until the fire was gone and the sun peeked over the horizon to signal the start of Christmas morning. 

[novaxanomaly]

Kage caught Tsuki's look and grinned a bit, moving to wrap himself around Akina. "Baby is there something you want to tell us?" He asked as he moved his hand to Akina's belly to see if he could sense anything.

Eboni watched how her parents reacted to each other, half grossed out by the lovey dovey but half curious.

Goichi paid attention but still ate. "Auntie are you pregnant like momma?"

Ayaka walked over and held out a hand for Enkai to take. "Come on, I'll help you up." She said and he nodded, using her hand to help himself to his feet.

"dads not going to want her out of bed, so she probably won't be in school tomorrow." He said softly, Ayaka chuckled.

"I can collect her homework, so that is no problem." She said. "as long as she gets better. And you too, let me see." She turned and pulled down the collar of his shirt. Those black lines were still there, just definitely not as bad as before. "Let's just hope it doesn't spread more while waiting for her to recover."

Mission: Rescue Enkai || Closed Starter

@co11ywobbles

Enkai didn't know anything, as he lay passed out on the floor of a wooden shed somewhere.

Before this, he was lounging in the back yard of his childhood home, and dozed off waiting for his girlfriend to show up. He is a deep sleeper, so he didn't notice anything when he was kidnapped.

~~~

Ayaka walked into the backyard with Mira, after giving her a ride home on her bike. "Remember, shush about what I said about your brother... I kinda like making him wonder if I like him or not... his faces are so cute.." She said and dropped her bag on the ground next to the lounge chair Enkai would have been in if he was there.

a/n im a little sad that my posts have been flopping but that’s cool ig. ive been in a lovey mood so here’s some fluff :)) as usual poc/gn friendly

warnings: fluffy fluff fluff

characters: ushijima, tsukishima, bokuto

USHIJIMA

he’s basically always the big spoon as he just enjoys holding someone but vv rarely he’s the little spoon, but only if you’re around his height because him being the little spoon with an s/o that’s 5″1 won’t work im sorry. but he interlocks his hand with yours and rests his head on the crook of your neck. or you’d lie on top of him (no matter your size!!) and he’d engulf you in a bear hug. personally i think he’s vv warm so cuddles are top tier.

TSUKISHIMA

i think cuddling with tsukishima would have you sat in between his legs lying with your back to his front and he’s propped up by a headboard/wall. during this time he may read to you, but you have to be very nice and remain quiet throughout his reading or he will stop. if you’re lying down, your head is on his chest and he gently caresses the top of your head (hair or not) maybe every once in a while pinching your cheek. tsuki is also always big spoon even if you’re taller than him it’s just what comes natural to him.

BOKUTO 

cuddles with him would be chaotic. especially if you’re sleeping one of you will end up at the opposite end of the bed, don’t ask me how. when you’re both awake, you cuddle facing inwards into each other while his arm rests on your hip drawing lazy hearts on your lower back. he’d just babble about his day and practice; you would too if you want to! and he’d pay very close attention!! or sometimes you’re sat on his lap facing into him resting your head on the crook of his neck and every so often he’d move your face ever so slightly to place a tender kiss wherever he could.

[levworship]

OKAY, I cant get this out of my head. It's usually tsukishima that always has the upper hand against yamaguchi right???? BUT, it comes to Yamas attention that tsukishima is a virgin and yamaguchi takes so much pity on poor tsuki that he offers to help him out. So yama came to you, his cute little girlfriend with this amazing opportunity to help out his best friend. And ofc you say yes..why would his cute little baby say no?

I love you, drink water and eat something you haven't already😤🥰‼️

finally writing again. shocker, i know. also thank you nonster ilysm <3

cw: dom!yams (kinda), mentions of yama x tsukki, reader is cute idk i like her, virgin!tsukki, tsukki being mean in his head, yamaguchi also just a tad bit mean, idk what else?, just a handjob (for now), prob errors

word count: 1054

summary: yamaguchi being the sweetheart he is and sharing his precious girlfriend with his best friend <3

the sight of the two of you always made tsukki feel sick to his stomach. watching his best friend be all lovey dovey with someone who’s so disgustingly sweet as well? it was no wonder he avoided you two at all costs.

he avoided making eye contact with you two even throughout high school. at games, in the hallways, during lunch. but he especially avoided it right now. he was afraid to peer up through the foggy lens of his glasses, because he knew the moment that he did-

he’d be forced to meet you guys’ gazes. those precious smiles still beaming down at him even with the undeniable hunger behind both of your eyes.

tsukishima scowled, turning his head as if he’d found something more interesting to stare at on the ground. when tadashi initially made the offer to him, he simply shrugged it off as bluff. especially since he figured there was no way you’d agree. but...

“come on, tsukki.” the blond flinched when your fingers just barely skimmed the skin of his arm almost as if you were afraid to break him. the harmless action still somehow managed to offend him. were you mocking him? did the two of you think you were better because you just so happened to have sex before he did? he could have sex if you wanted. he didn’t need your help. he didn’t need either of you.

yet, even as those thoughts echoed in his head, he simply couldn’t deny the fact that for whatever reasoning, he still showed up at your doorstep and faced you two with shuffling feet and fading pride.

he tsked once - twice- before he finally grew some balls and turned to look the two of you in the eye. and god did he regret it, because he was immediately greeted by the sight of the two of you pawing at him to rid him of his baggy clothes. the pairs of hands gripping and grabbing at each inch of visible skin had tsukishima’s face flushed an embarrassing shade of pink, adam’s apple bobbing in his throat until finally you two had stopped acting like fumbling teens and stripped him down to his boxers, erection pressing humiliatingly hard against the dampened fabric. it was amusing to him, how even as the two of you managed to lead him into the intimacy of your bedroom, he still held a higher sense of maturity and composure over you both.

at least, that’s how he viewed it in his mind. even a passing glance at him would reveal just how nervous he was. quite literally shaking where he lay.

“remember to be gentle, okay?” tsukishima scoffed at this. “relax tadashi. i am not going to hur-“ “i wasn’t talking about you.” yamaguchi cut him off with a piercing look that sent shivers throughout tsukki’s entire body like never before. since when did the freckled man have the ability to hinder him speechless so quickly? before he could even bother to crack out a weak comeback,

“oh shit—“ he hissed through his teeth when your small hand wrapped itself around his sensitive cock, successfully distracting him. his chest rose and fell heavily as his pretty eyelashes fluttered shut. “wow. you were right tadashi. i barely touched him and he’s already about to blow his load” you shook your head in genuine astonishment.

“has anyone else ever touched you here, tsukishima?”

even despite your sweet tone,, he wanted to bark at you. grab you by your hair and tug with all of his strength. shove you into the mattress and grunt in your ear that he wasn’t going to sit there and take shit from a slutty fucking brat like you. but how could he? how could he possibly let any words out before they melted away from him just as quickly as they’d formed in his mind? how could he think, when your thumb pressed itself against his tip, now red and swollen with reluctant want, and messily spread his precum across his cock. it was sloppy. it was dirty. your slender fingers tugged at his cock with a wet shlick that made his entire body tense with disgust and guilt from just how much he was enjoying your hand on him. he had to bite down on his lip to avoid making any noise. a weak attempt on his behalf to cling on to any pride he had left.

“-he’s long, too.”

the sound of your voice was enough to drag him out of his mind again. how long had you been talking? or were you too busy watching in shocked silence as he quits literally fell apart in your small grasp? were you and tadashi simply talking around him the entire time? he figured so, judging by the way both of you seemed to be almost observing his limp figure.

“mhm. but not as thick as me, is he baby?” tsukki’s stomach twisted when he watched the two of you engage in a sloppy kiss right in front of his eyes. he hated it, the not-so-PDA. or at least, he figured he did. but that wouldn’t explain why watching you two was already bringing him closer to his release than he’d like to admit.

yamaguchi seemed to read his mind somehow, humming when the two of you finally separated. a swift hand moved to grab your wrists. “‘gonna make him cum too soon, sweetheart. hurry up and get on top before he passes out” he chuckled before grabbing a handful of your ass, still clad in the pants you’d been wearing since tsukki showed up at your door.

fuck you. i don’t need you to get on top. you’ll regret talking about me like that when i have you and your fucking boyfriend bent over in front of me.

the violent words once again died in his throat before he had a chance to utter them. he watched you like a fucking horny mutt as you removed your clothes. his eyes remained glued onto your figure through his blurred vision (his glasses had been discarded a while ago), while yamaguchi’s eyes remained glued onto him. his expression was a mix of prideful and just a hint of possession if you stared for long enough. but it was hard to be selfish when you have your hot as fuck girlfriend and undeniably attractive best friend nearly blowing their lids trying to fuck each other.

who would wanna miss that sight?

i may do a part two where they actually screw if anyone is interested.

thirsts and requests for haikyuu and bnha are open.

Fake Dating: Tsukishima

A/n: This bastard could literally push me into the ocean, in which he’d still be the saltiest thing around, and I’d be like “wow... I love him..”

G/n reader

Tsukishima Kei

You’re childhood friends with him right alongside Yams

And I don’t know what these little kids were bullying you over but after going in for a punch and getting shoved back, Tsuki stepped in

He taunted that the kid couldn’t handle the hit you gave him and after the group ran away, you just sorta followed Tsukishima

You’re friendship took off from there

Sticking to a group of three: you, Yams, and Tsuki did everything together

Such as! Shit talking people like no one’s business :3

OKAY, jokes aside! It’s an awesome friend group

You three have weekend movie nights where you’ll either watch Jurassic Park or bake

Tsuki’s really good at making sweets

Yams and you try to do it like him, but it’s never as good

He’ll tease both of you about it

Don’t worry though, he still eats what you two make because he cares and appreciates all the work you both put in to try to get it tasting good

He’ll also always help if you’re struggling in school

Tsukishima will laugh and say it’s sad you couldn’t figure out that concept in class, then he’ll have a two hour study session to help you understand it😐

He’s the worst no he’s not

You swing by their practice to get little pointers on homework sometimes and Tsuki will immediately help you out

The first time you did this, Hinata screamed and had to be held back from throwing a volleyball at Tsukishima’s head

Hinata was having flashbacks to painful tutoring sessions with him

Specifically sessions where Tsuki would only explain things once before telling him he was on his own

The favoritism is great

Tsuki really saw you and Yams and was like “Ya, I’d kill for them.”

During one of your impromptu visits to your friend’s practice, Noya and Tanaka start complaining about how they don’t have girlfriends and you can just tell Tsuki’s heard this a thousand times

Yams is ignoring it like the champ he is✊

But when after a few minutes have passed, and they’re still talking about it... and are getting louder and closer, you can just tell something bad is gonna happen

And it does, when Noya gets so into his rant about cute girls, that he jumps right into Tsuki

Noya... you can’t rolling thunder your way outa this one

You spare a short glance to your other friend who similarly to you, is sporting a grim look

Turning back to Tsuki, wondering if you need to save Noya’s life, you jump when an arm wraps around your shoulders

“Speaking of dating, you should understand that some people are already in relationships and would rather not hear your sad droning on about not being in one.”

Your brain literally does not connect with what Tsuki has just said for a solid minute, and so the look on your face is the most unconvincing thing ever

The team is shocked and unsure what to believe

I mean, Tsuki looks very serious and even a little smug, but you’re looking like you’ve been slapped in the face

Tsuki picks up on your uncertainty over what he just said

Grabbing your hand, he explains that neither of you had planned to tell anyone for awhile

So finally getting a grip on the situation, you turn to the team and give an easy smile, leaning into Tsukishima’s side to sell his lie

Noya and Tanaka are in an uproar over the apparent dating status of their junior

Suga congratulates the two of you and soon after practice picks up again

Not without pissed off tears from the two second years who had caused this though

Tsuki looks very satisfied from that smh

Yams pulls you to the side and you try to figure out what the heck you should do with him

However, Tsuki already has a plan and he explains it to you on the walk home from volleyball

Whenever the team are around, specifically Noya and Tanaka, you’ll act like a couple

It’s kinda crazy and you’re not sure about it

But you do want to do something for your friend, so you’re decide to go with the unconventional idea

Yams is laughing his ass off watching his two friends fall into the weirdest routine possible

You find yourself wrapping yourself around Tsuki in hugs whenever you spot his teammates

You’ve also started the habit of dramatically calling out to him anytime you see him with someone on the team

Tsuki knows you’re messing with him and so now he’s doing the same, except slightly quieter

Neither of you are super into lovey dovey nicknames, maybe it’s having known each other for so long or you and Tsuki just not being those kinds of people

You both have a ton of embarrassing and high key rude names you call each other instead~

But you start to look forward to hearing him call them out

It had always been you, Tsuki, and Yams before

And while Yamaguchi was still your best friend, things were feeling different lately

Tsuki was starting to spend a lot more time with just you, and there were times when he’d get this soft look in his eyes

You kinda liked it

But it’s not like you were gonna tell him that

In fact, it felt like things were getting a bit out of hand

Was it not wrong how your heart had started skipping a beat when your friend gave you silly head bonks?

Weren’t you using him? You were just supposed to pretend to date him. These feelings blossoming inside your heart we’re ruining your friendship with the person who had always been there for you...

It had been four months since the whole thing had started and you just couldn’t do it anymore

Avoiding Tsuki made you feel like a genuine monster

His look of hurt when you ignored him and left him behind you, choosing to instead look down and keep walking to class

He tried to talk to you during lunch, but when he saw you weren’t going to budge, he backed off with a scowl and concern written all over his face

This lasted for a couple weeks; in which your days consisted of ignoring Tsuki, talking to Yams, and trying to ignore his questions as to why you were ghosting Tsuki

It was frustrating telling Yams that you wanted space, and the dam that had been building up in the time you had been stewing in your feelings, was finally bursting

“I just need to get things back to normal!” You shout, turning your back from your friend, not noticing the second person who had walked up

“I let it get out of hand, it wasn’t supposed to- I wasn’t supposed to feel that way.” You sigh, putting your face into your hands

An awkward pause later and Yam asks hesitantly “What way..?”

“Argghhh! I wasn’t supposed to feel like I was actually dating him! I wasn’t supposed to like him like that!!” You sigh again, pulling yourself up, intending to leave as quickly as possible now that everything was out in the open

“You seriously avoided me for that?” You feel a gentle bop on your head, “Y/n, did you actually think I didn’t feel the same?” The hand on your head was ruffling your hair now

Turning your face upwards, Tsuki’s eyes and slightly blushing face meet yours

Yams laughs lightly, patting his back, and you hear his quiet “finally~” as he retreats to the school building

Turning your attention back to Tsuki, uncertainty leaves you questioning what you’re supposed to do

He notices tho

Taking your hand with a tsk, he gives you a smirk “I can’t believe you’re making me do all the work in this relationship..” and then with unsureness you barely ever saw- added “if you want it to be a relationship.”

A giddiness warming you, one that had been missing in the time you spent away from Tsuki, you replied with an easy smile and leaned into his side enjoying the matching smile that spread across his face

╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀How the Haikyuu boys would act when watching a romantic movie with you

╲╱❀╲╱╲╱❀╲╱╲╱❀

(and managers)

featuring: Hinata, Kageyama, Yamaguchi, Tsukishima, and Yachi (the post got kinda long so i decided to just do first years but i plan on posting the rest of Karasuno and maybe more)

genre: headcanons, fluff, crack (?)

warnings: mention of spicy movie scenes but nothing explicitly described, (a lot of the movie pairs are male/female but no reader pronouns are used) movie spoilers (?), (im writing this assuming they haven’t seen these movies)

a/n: i was recently blessed with a bunch of HC’s from you all which i absolutely LOVED reading and i got inspired by one (thanks @bokutory 😘) so i thought i would elaborate more on it :)) i haven’t written an hc post in a while so this was fun❣️enjoy xx

Hinata

- watching a romantic movie was his idea actually

- Hinata is the type to talk during movies so you had to make him promise that he would be quiet so you could enjoy the movie

- he suggested that you watch Romeo and Juliet (the 1996 version) to keep things classic (though it doesn’t have the best ending oops)

- the two of you curled up on the couch and the film begins

- Hinata soon realizes that they are using a lot of fancy language, and he breaks his promise of not talking to ask you what they mean

- he actually likes the movie, finds it visually pleasing and timeless

-however, everytime Romeo and Juliet kiss or get a lil touchy touchy, he tenses up a bit

- no matter how comfortable he is around you, he still gets a little nervous/flustered

- (it’s adorable btw)

- without realizing it, he’s taking mental notes of how to be smooth like Romeo (minus the dying part)

- i don’t think he’s the type to make a move while the movie is actually playing, instead he waits until after to shower you with all the love that the movie stirred up in him

- as the credits roll, with a pink flushed face and a cheeky smile, Hinata will look to you and say:

- “You’re way better than any Juliet/Romeo”

Kageyama

- okay i was blessed with the hc that Kageyama likes romantic movies because his sister forced him to watch them when he was little

- and i am a firm believer in it now

- you actually suggested the movie and very much to your surprise Kageyama didn’t oppose

- he didn’t react, giving you a simple “okay” and a shrug

- though on the inside he is pretty excited to watch something heart fluttering with you

- you decided to watch Me Before You, hoping to get some emotions out of Kageyama

- you’re snuggled up next to him, holding his hand and your head resting on his shoulder

- Kageyama watched the entire movie with a straight face

- like this: 😐 the ENTIRE time

- but on the inside he was more like: ☺️🤭🥺🥲🥰

- during the tear jerking parts however, his face stays still but a singular tear streams down his face

- GIVE THIS MAN A HUG DANG IT

- at the end of the movie, he just kind of wraps his arms around your waist and nestles his head into your stomach

- you asked him if he liked it and all he said was “it was alright”

- even though he loved it and will suggest another romantic movie for your next movie night

Yamaguchi

- i am a firm believer in hopeless romantic Yamaguchi

- man loves love 🥺

- he’s no stranger to romantic movies but it’s a different story when watching one with your s/o

- the two of you settled on watching Titanic

- everyone’s knows the story but it’s different when you actually see it

- he makes cute comments throughout the movie, keeping you smiling

- again, when ✨that✨ scene comes on, like Hinata, he tenses up a bit

- for the next few days he just is thinking about “draw me like one of your French girls”

- however, he does make a move

- bringing you to a kiss or just drawing your attention to him

- yams is a little awkward but his confidence definitely boosts when he’s around you

- at the end of the movie and your emotions are all over the place, yams will just kinda cuddle you

- he’s a snuggle bug and no i will not be taking criticism on this

- most likely he will be drifting off to sleep by the credits and then the two of you fall asleep in each other’s arms

- im so soft for yams oops

Tsukishima

- okay this man was soooo reluctant to watch a cute, lovey dovey movie with you

- but because he loves you, he did it anyway no matter how much he didn’t want to

- (it’s a total act btw)

- in hopes of bringing some emotion out of him, you put on The Notebook

- he complained for probably half of the movie

- Tsuki would comment on the characters, their decisions, and what they should have done differently

- BUT

- when ✨that✨ scene comes on (in the barn house) man goes dead SILENT

- his arms are crossed as they were before, your head on his shoulder, and you look up to see his red face

- his facial expressions don’t change but you can tell he’s a little flustered

- he is actually super invested in the movie but would never admit it

- when the pieces start to click about the ending, he lets out a sigh

- he wraps his arm around you, kissing the top of your head

- “next time we need to watch one with a happier ending”

Yachi

- Yachi gets nervous no matter what you’re watching

- it could be a cooking show and she would still be a little jittery

- when you suggest the movie Pretty in Pink, she doesn’t oppose

- yachi would rest her head on your lap as you run your fingers through her hair, keeping her nerves away

- i also believe she is the type to fall asleep during movies

- she just is so comfortable around you that she can relax and then she just kind of crashes

- but the odd chance that she is still awake, she would be SO into the movie

- she also is a sucker for the more old school feel of the movie

- She’ll ask you questions like “do like the movie so far?” or “who do you think Andie will choose?”

- even though you were the one who picked the movie, you find it pretty adorable that she is so engaged

- at the movie’s end, Yachi will place her hands on her burning face and look at you with a nervous smile

- “i liked that one. mind if we watch another?”

[ourmondobongo]

I have to say even though levihan was my favourite ship and probs the only I really cared about, I find it a little difficult to wholeheartedly be as into it because the more snk content I see the more unnecessarily rude, insulting and insensitive Levi seems to Hange and they don't deserve such treatment when all they've been towards him is kind. Like, I know Levi as a character is very much abrasive but he's been more empathetic to the rest of the main characters and even strangers.

This isn't ship hate, I don't even ship them with other characters and still love them but I just wish he was acting a little softer towards them. Isayama I think intended them to be romantic but up until the end he basically set them up as a good friendship a little onesided maybe. I am not sure if that's how he writes romance but, logically wouldnt the person who is in love be a little more.... indicative that they're in love? Even subtly like, lovey dovey Levi would be ooc yet still we know he's capable of showing emotion why exclude the one person you're supposed to be in love with? I know there are moments he's good to Hange but I guess personally him not insulting or cursing them would suffice enough. Sometimes I say he's the rudest to them because he loves them the most and in their world where dying is a frequent reoccurance it's just him trying to distance himself from them even if he loves them so their death won't hurt when it comes. But that's all headcanon, I wish isayama worked more on them two.

Hey!

Yeah, I kind of understand what you mean...

I definitely agree that I really wish Isym had worked more on Levihan's relationship. It didn't even have to be romantic tbh - just seeing a bit of the last two living veterans sorting one or two things out together would show smoothly how they were still paired up with supporting each other as human beings and not only tools to achieve Paradis's freedom or the vow fulfillment. Unfortunately, Isym was running, and things ended up how they ended…

As for the "unnecessarily rude, insulting and insensitive Levi seems to Hange" snk content out there... I can’t really think of any other than the "hentai" line in the Erwin x Levi smartpass that really made no sense until Tsuki-no-ura explained a few things about Japanese language (and that explained he was not calling Hange "sexually perverted"). I'll come back to this later though.

Now, I don't know if my answer will help you or not, though, or make it worse for your heart, but I think it might give you a bit of perspective shift regarding the main purposes of Levihan creation. (And if you are a hard-core LH shipper, there goes my little warning that you might want to stop reading this post here…):

First and foremost, generally speaking, AOT is not a work focused on romance. In fact, AOT works on so many relevant philosophies and impactful Humanity's issues at the same time that I think seeing it end with Mikasa and her tragic romantic story with Eren is one of the many reasons why many of us got disappointed in the end. Until today, many of us still can't swallow down that all the disgrace of their World was due to Ymir in her freaking and cursed 2000 years of love obsession with a monster that never did a thing for her...

And so, as Isym doesn't seem to like much the common shoujo idea of people "destined to be" that normally the mangakas depict, I don't really think that Isym created Levihan intentionally to really be endgame romantic in the manga either. Because if it was, I feel like he would have dropped clear hints before 126. Like, there were many subtle opportunities open everywhere in the main manga - from a simple confirmation that Levi was wearing Hans's jacket, to a minuscule panel of a shared horseback ride after the RtS battle, or… well, anything believable and not contextually OOC. 

Instead - and using the most neutral reader lenses on -, Yams just mostly focused on their professionalism and commitment to their duties in the manga, and apparently let WIT and everyone else indulge in many other Levi ships without being more ``hey, look what Levi and Hanji have here!". At most, before 126, he left possible hints with open or multiple interpretations, including letting people read it as best friendship or adult comrades in army fighting for humanity side by side as the perfect complementary devoted to duty pair they are since chapter 9.5.

On the other hand, though, I personally feel like Isym did intend Levihan to be the ultimate endgame pair on the portrayal of real and ideal heroism philosophies and ideas Isym explored in AOT. They clearly were made the Wings of Freedom fully devoted to their duties to humanity - expressing the power of righteousness, of taking action, selflessness, dedication, self-sacrifice, and hope. Everything they did in the manga was always thinking for the sake of others. And in depicting it, Isym did a good job (though he could have been more clear sometimes, especially with Hans's narrative). 

Then, it's also nice to remember that Isym created Hans to be a unique character, with "mad scientist" and unhygienic "Titan otaku" vibes, mysterious background and no gender disclosed; this makes me think he was more interested in what their character would offer as playing the role of an eccentric (and comic) SC scientist than a "standard" possible romantic pair with Levi or anyone else. Of course, Levihan fits perfectly the "opposite attraction" theme, as we have the "clean-freak" and the "I don't have time to bath" workaholic one, the listener and the talkative, the brawl and the brain, etcetera. However, their main narratives were way, waaaay beyond this. Not to mention the depth of their bond...

As for Levi’s abrasiveness, yes, there are some times (and pretty much mostly on extra content) that do seem to leave an harsher tone in the way Levi treats Hans. The one which comes to my mind is the "hentai" original line in that smartpass between Erwin and Levi. That really baffled me because Erwin was right there exalting Hans's unique geniuses, and suddenly Levi seems to gratuitously call them "sexually perverted" - like what?? That makes absolutely no sense contextually nor like Levi?! And then Tsuki explained that in Japan there are other meanings to "hentai" other than the derogatory we non-Japanese speakers know. And it clicked to me - language/culture barrier is both a subtle and major issue in understanding how rudely Levi can express himself.

In fact, it is. By the many translations and explanations of words used in Japanese in Levi's text bubbles, the simple uses of "you" that he uses with many people (Erwin included) is expressed in a derogatory way, and that is completely lost in the English translations because English is really… simplistic. So it's not like Levi sounds only harsh with Hans - but more like many rough nuances of Levi's speeches seem to get lost in the adaptation to English/other languages, making his roughness to be clearer mostly when it is actually screaming clear. Which mostly happens when his personal translator, Hange!, is involved.

But to me, this Yams used to show that, in fact, not only Levi might be hard with words but it's not what he feels like, but that Hans is really good at understanding all kinds of people, interpreting their intentions and expressing them properly without bias or prejudice. Something that happens in chapter 127 too, as Hange calms Jean down after expressing the unspoken astonishment that Magath feels seeing that the Devil's of Paradis are trying to help save their worst enemies.

As for Levi’s character, I think Yams had not grasped how big of a character he would become also due to the cruel and unforgiving life he had in the Underground. The fact that most difficulties that Levi went through from childhood to adulthood were left to our imagination is what makes everything more heartbreaking and painful because we can only fill up the gaps of his life with the worst of the worst ideas. Humans are worse than animals. That Levi got out with such selflessness drive and precious heart from one of the dirtiest depths of Humanity’s man-made hell is something really from the exception of the exception of all the exceptions. But as no one comes out of an experience like that unscathed, Yams certainly saw Levihan's dynamic paired up perfectly again: before any romantic idea any reader might have, Hange treats Levi as a human being. 

So while Yams uses Hange's character to let Levi show this raw, harsh, and intrinsic Underground part of himself, it is always with Hans not feeling bad or judging Levi, and usually answering to the moment with a special type of kindness or going along with his shitty jokes. Interestingly too, is that for each time Levi seems to be rougher with Hans than the others, there are mostly worrisome situations happening, strong underneath feelings involved, or Yams trying to make them a comic duo. This is indeed an abnormal relationship dynamic that wouldn't be able to be explored if Hans weren't such an uplifting and understanding character, and if Levi had suddenly suppressed 25 or more years of rough life in the Underground to himself with no space to be a bit more exposed…

This all said… idk, I feel like there is a love root deep inside shipper hearts that wished to see a more smooth intimate depiction of Levihan's relationship that actually could be undoubtedly read as more definitive in their "love classification". But both Levi and Hanji were mature adults around their 30s, fighting maneater monsters and then the whole world for their people to have a chance to live in peace and some dignity. Their bond is much more built of many kinds of love than just the idea of one above the other. And as their quest in snk was NOT about romantic love being placed above what was right (like Mikasa and Ymir's quest), Isym really didn't make Levihan possible romantic feelings for each other the endgame point of their narratives.

I know though that there are especially dishonest people using some of Hans and Levi's interactions to say "Levi hates Hans", he didn't even like her, and whatever. But I think nothing can prove Levi sincerely loved Hans the most than chapters 126, 132, 133, 136 and 139. And while many people also say sometimes we read too much in a simple drawing, I fully doubt that Yams would draw Levi on the verge of crying and so emotionally vulnerable if not feeling Hans's loss with his heart too.

One last thing is that beyond the aspects mentioned in the guidebook about Levi's inspiration in Rorschach (from Watchmen), Levi really seems to have some "rough with words'' reference from him too. Contrary to Levi, though, Rorschach is a sociopath who seeks to punish evilness at all costs, and is a brute detective traumatized by growinp up witnessing the prostitution life of his mother, abandonment of his father, evilness and darkness of humanity. He does say things really in a raw, gruffly way, because of his background and life experiences, so as his character is written in English, it makes me wonder if his way of wording himself would be a little bit closer to how Levi's speech could be translated to English if it were more faithful to the Japanese...

I hope what I wrote made some sense...?!

[tsukishimaenthusiast]

Could you more of the reader ignoring the boys for a prank headcanons? Maybe with Tsukishima, Ushijima, and Tendou?

tsukishima, ushijima, and tendou when their s/o ignores them as a prank {headcanons!}

these are obviously a lot shorter bc theyre hcs but i still think i got the point across ykyk ¿

tsukishima:

you and tsukishima were doing homework together

you finished before him and called out his name to start getting his attention

but he didn’t respond or react to you

granted, he could’ve been really invested in whatever he was doing at the moment… but he would usually look up at you or ask, “what do you want, y/n?”

you started feeling petty tho… and thought, “well two can play that game.”

so you just stopped calling him and did some extra studying on his bed

you heard tsuki close his textbook and watched him sit beside you on the bed

if it were any other day, you’d probably pounce on him or something

but you decided to act as if he wasn’t even there

after about five minutes of sitting next to you in silence, he finally said something

“y/n.”

you looked at him but didn’t respond

he grabbed the textbook out of your hand and closed it

“really y/n? is this cause i didn’t answer you earlier?”

you shrugged your shoulders and grabbed the textbook to open it again

“fine. you can continue to ignore me. it won’t phase me.”

tsukishima went back to his previous seat, put his headphones on, and buried his head in a textbook

you two stayed like this for a couple more hours

soon enough, you had to return home

you started packing up your things and walked towards tsukishima’s bedroom door

before you could leave, tsuki lightly grabbed your wrist

you two stared at each other for a bit

he quickly pecked you lips and said, “love you..”

you stared at him blankly for a couple of seconds before muttering a “love you, too,” back

LMAO yall both annoying byeyeyydyshs

tbh if yall had like a legitimate argument, youse could ignore/ stop talking to each other for DAYS

ushijima:

“so is ushijima the clingy type?”

you and your friend were talking about your boyfriend, ushijima

“eh, not really. i mean, i only think i consider myself the “clingy” one because he’s just really straightforward and isn’t super lovey dovey,” you explained

“what would happen if you began ignoring him, then?”, your friend asked

you shrugged your shoulders,,, you weren’t sure

somehow, you and your friend decided that you were going to ignore ushijima the next day at school

ushijima always eats lunch with you

he went to your classroom and sat down next to you

“hi, y/n.”

you didn’t even acknowledge his presence

he waited for a couple seconds before speaking up again, “how has your day been?”

again, you gave him no response

he grabbed your hand… you couldn’t ignore him anymore, so you looked up at him

“is everything alright?”, he asked

you pulled your hand out of his grasp and continued eating your lunch as if he wasn’t there

you weren’t looking at him, but you could tell he was staring at you

“okay,” was all he said and continued eating his lunch with you in silence

you went on with your day,,, ushijima had practice after school so you did worry about having to purposely ignore him again

at around 9pm, you wondered if ushijima would call or text to check up on you… although it seemed very unlikely at this point

you heard your doorbell ring so you answered it and

ushijima was there, holding a bag in his hand

“hello y/n. i don’t know if you’re sad about something or mad at me, but i brought you your favorite cookies.”

he handed them out to you and you accepted

then, ushijima wrapped his arms around you and held you close to him

he kissed you on top of your head and whispered, “i love you.”

at this point, you couldn’t even say you were playing a little joke on him, you just let him hold you for that short while

tendou:

you saw someone on tiktok talk about a prank they did on their boyfriend where they ignored him for a day

you immediately thought of doing the same thing to tendou

you and tendou met up at your usual spot in the morning to head to class together

“good morning, sweetie,” he cooed

usually you’d say good morning back or give him a kiss, but today you didn’t

you heard him make a “hmpfff” sound

“i get it… i’m really tired, too.”

you two continued walking in silence

when you guys were with your other classmates, tendou expected you to become more lively

and you did, except not towards him

he became curious as to why you weren’t talking to him so he pulled you aside

“is everything alright, y/n? you’re not really talking to me...”

you were about to turn away from him but he grabbed you by your shoulders to make you stay

“woahhh, are you mad at me or something?”

honestly, you were about to answer and tell him it was all a joke but the bell rang, saving your prank

during class, tendou texted you

“do you want to talk about this during lunch?”

he saw you read the message and became annoyed when you didn’t reply

tendou pulled you out the classroom when it was lunch time

“are you gonna tell me what i did? or why you’re just not talking to me, actually? cause i didn’t do anything,” he reasoned

you stared at him in silence and after a couple of minutes, he became whiny

“babyyyyy. talk to me. what did i do?”

he tried his best to start making you laugh or smile but you didn’t budge

“okay… fine,” he muttered, finally walking away from you

tendou saw you walking out of the building before his practice started

“y/n! wait up!”

you tried to walk faster to get away but he caught up to you

“i don’t want to see you go home today knowing that something’s up between us. can you please explain what’s wrong so i can fix it?”

you looked at him and saw he had his serious face on

so you being you, you laughed in his face

“ahahah!!!! sorry babe, you just looked so funny. and my apologies, i was playing a prank. i was ignoring you for the day!”

tendou’s face dropped and he gave you a disgusted look

“you’re foul for that one… making me think i did something wrong,” he complained

you flashed him a cheeky grin

“c’mere, give me a kiss before practice!”

A Lovely Date, A Coming Storm

(Up next in the love story of two nerds: they finally have a date, what?! And thanks to someone, guess who gets to have trauma in her past in this au too....

Masterlist

Speculations and Lies (Chapter 9)

Poisoned Obsession, Truest Love (Chapter 11) )

Spencer was already on his way to the bookstore as usual when he got the text message from Tsuki, causing him to pause for a moment. Soon enough though he found himself sitting outside a nearby coffee shop, fiddling with the strap of his messenger bag and wondering exactly what this was about.

She had texted him to meet her there, no explanation, no timeline; he did not expect to wait long, and ultimately he did not as she showed up about fifteen minutes after he did, but the man was still confused and uncertain. Part of him worried at first that she was upset with him over something or other, or maybe having second thoughts about being with him; their conversation had happened almost a month earlier and while she had shown no indication that anything was wrong, they had been as lovey and close as they had the first night, he could not help but worry as overly active minds like his often did.

Tsuki appeared before him eventually and his first observation was that she was wearing a blue sundress that fluttered about her rather nicely, the sash around her waist looking almost like fairy wings. Used to the sight of her in jeans, overalls, pants, shirts, practical clothes she could wear at work and while she did her restorations, it hit him hard how she looked when dressed instead like this. To Spencer Tsuki was cute, very cute, and he hoped to see her wear things more often that showed off how cute she was. Like this dress. But his mind continued to move and his question became why she was wearing it. It was a weekday and there was nothing special planned; he supposed she shouldn't need a special occasion to dress up but it confused him.

“Sorry about all this,” she said as she approached and smiled at him in her usual way, “I'm sure you're really confused right now.”

“You look really cute today, Tsuki.” Spencer's mouth moved faster than his mind, as impossible as that might sound, and she froze for a moment before turning a bright red that honestly made him want to tease her; he didn't.

She huffed and shook her head, tucking some hair behind her ear. “I figured, considering what was going on, I might as well wear something a little less...practical.”

“What's going on?” There, that was the right question.

“You remember how that kid cracked my window a few months ago?” she asked and he bristled thinking about it, and more specifically the way the kid had acted towards her; Tsuki went on, “Well the crack's grown and one of my brothers noticed it finally. He's getting someone to come fix it today but it does mean I need to be out of the store for the day, unfortunately keeping it closed and we won't be able to spend time there today.”

“Oh,” he said sounding somewhat disappointed; after all he liked being in Nevermore.

Tsuki though smiled and reached out to grab his hand in hers. “Instead though I figured we might as well take the opportunity to, you know, finally go on a date together.”

“We've never been on a date before.” It sounded like a statement or even an agreement but really it was mostly just parrotting the idea to let the rest of his brain catch up. It had not occurred to him before but it was true; Spencer had gone to Nevermore multiple times, they had spent many days, and nights, together, but in the month since they got together, they had never gone on a date. He wanted to blame his job, it was hard to go on dates when you potentially had to run to the other side of the country on a moment's notice to hunt down some creep or murderer, but the team hadn't been called out of state of late and truth be told it was more that it never came up before. She had never seemed bothered by the idea of the two just staying in to read, watch movies, cook, just spend time together and talk; it was soothing for him not having to do much when his job often required a lot, but he wondered if she had maybe wanted more. She seemed happy about the idea of going on a date with him, even wore something pretty, he felt a bit guilty about not thinking of asking before.

She shook her head. “Nope; between my weird hours and your weird hours and everything else, it just never has happened. Not that I minded really but since we have the chance, why pass it up?”

“It's been a while since I've been on a date,” he admitted with a small smile, “I can't guarantee I'll be much help in knowing what to do.”

“I mean it's been a while for me too,” she said; it didn't escape his attention that her expression changed the tiniest bit, the spark of some emotion that moved too fast for him to get a good read on.

She almost seemed like there was more to add but she didn't, squeezing his hand a little instead. Spencer humored the idea of asking her what it was on her mind but it occurred to him that if it was connected to her previous reactions to other things about dating, then it may not be something she wanted to talk about yet. Though if they were going to be together, then eventually they would need to talk about things, even if only to keep problems from arising that could be otherwise prevented with forewarning...

“Spencer?” He was lost in his thoughts but returned to reality as Tsuki reached up to touch his forehead. The coolness of her fingertips made him jump a little and he blinked a few times before taking stock of the slight worry in her face. That was not his intent and he smiled at her, leaning into her touch.

“Sorry, was thinking about something. So this date, what should we do first?” As curious as he might be, as much as he wanted to know more and possibly help her, he figured the best option would be to let her tell him in her own time. More important to try and enjoy the day and this chance at a peaceful date with his favorite bookseller.

“Hmmm, well, we're already here at the coffee shop so might as well get something to drink and sit for a bit,” Tsuki answered, pulling away from him.

Their other hands were still linked and with a vote of agreement from him, the two walked into the shop to order before finding a spot to sit. The inside was not terribly full but Spencer and Tsuki still took seats outside under the shade of the large umbrellas. Again he took a moment to admire how cute she looked in the sundress and part of him felt bad for not trying to wear something nice too. Not that he really had many non-work related clothes, or any really; he had Halloween costumes but somehow the idea of coming dressed as the Fourth Doctor to see Tsuki seemed too ridiculous even for him. Still he felt outmatched in his usual button up shirt with a tie, sweater vest and slacks; maybe he should make an excuse to go home, see if he could find something more causal but wasn't it rude to just leave at the beginning of a date? And he didn't want to seem rude to her...

“Spencer, if you insist on daydreaming then at least include me in your thoughts,” Tsuki said and he realized that once more he was letting himself fall too deep into his own thoughts; turning red in embarrassment he held his coffee cup closer to himself and stared into the darkness of the bitter drink.

“Sorry Tsuki.”

She chuckled and took a sip of her chai tea. “It's fine, Spencer, I was mainly teasing.”

“It's rude not to pay attention to you when we're supposed to be out on a date.”

“I mean admittedly yes but really, it's fine.” There was a gentleness to her tone that made him look up at her. “I know that you tend to have a lot on your mind and it gives me a chance to admire the cute way your expression changes when you think really hard on something.”

Spencer's eyes widened at her comment and he felt his face heat up; Tsuki giggled and took another sip as he floundered mentally for a response. He was used to being called Pretty Boy on occasion, usually by Derek, but he didn't exactly think of himself as especially attractive. Still she seemed to think so based on how often she brought it up and it truthfully flustered him some. He furrowed his brow after a moment, trying to think up a response.

“The only cute one here is you, Tsuki.” There was a momentary awkward pause at the end of his sentence as he'd started it to try and call her by name but had to fade at the end as he realized he didn't know her full name.

She raised an eyebrow then smiled. “Kokuryuu.”

“Huh?”

“My last name is Kokuryuu.”

“Tsuki Kokuryuu,” he repeated and let it sink in; he chuckled, “I can't believe it took me this long to find out your full name.”

At this Tsuki blushed and huffed, it being her turn to look away. “I mean...not quite.”

“Not quite?” he asked confused.

“Tsuki is technically my nickname, it's short version of my first name.”

“Oh,” Spencer said then paused for a moment before deciding to ask, “What is your first name then?”

“Oh please don't make me say it,” she said setting down her tea to rub her face.

He knew it shouldn't be funny but it was hard to keep from chuckling at her reaction. She seemed so embarrassed and again came the urge to tease her. Spencer thought on it. “I'm sure it's a cute name, just like Tsuki is.”

“It's not, it's weird.”

“I'll tell you my middle name if you tell me your first.” She gave him a look.

“Your middle name?”

He nodded. “Believe me, it's silly once you hear it.”

Tsuki didn't look too convinced and hesitated, making him think for a moment that she might not give in. But finally she sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Tsukkuyomi.”

Spencer blinked. “Tsukkuyomi. Like the Shinto god of the moon?”

“What kind of parent gives their daughter the name of a male god?” she grumbled, “Not that I'm really complaining but still, it's such a weird name which is why normally I go by Tsuki, it's shorter and easier to say and write out, especially since they choose a weird spelling for it, still it's not exactly normal and I can't understand why they would choose that when they gave my brother a name enough name and my middle name isn't strange at all.”

He could not help but laugh though he stopped immediately when she gave him a less than pleased look. It had nothing to do with her name though; personally Spencer saw nothing wrong with her name, he thought it nice, maybe not as cute as Tsuki but it fit her somehow, an elegant sort of name that suited his favorite bookseller. No, it wasn't her name that made him laugh but her reaction to having to reveal it; he was used to being the one who rambled, got started on some idea and wouldn't stop talking. But there he was, sitting there outside the coffee shop with her, listening as she fumbled with emotions about the name and words on how to describe said emotions Her mind was moving too fast, he knew this from personal experience, but seeing this trait of his showing in her made him just want to laugh and tell her how cute it honestly was. He thought he was always annoying, and he knew others thought the same, but her rambling was just adorable to him.

“I promise I wasn't laughing at you, I swear,” he told her, trying to hide a smile with his cup, “Please don't be mad at me.”

She huffed, unconvinced. “Then why were you laughing?”

“Because I didn't know rambling could be cute?” She froze up and stared at him, making it harder for him to not start laughing.

“Your turn, Spencer,” she said after some moments of silence and he raised an eyebrow; she narrowed her eyes at him, “Your middle name, give it to me.”

He was tempted to break into laughter again but honestly the awkwardness of having to admit what his middle name was a little stronger. Spencer bit his lip and looked away. “...Walter.”

“Walter?”

“Yes. Walter.”

“Wait. Wait wait wait. Your name...is Spencer Walter Reid. Did...did your parents realize...”

It was his turn to make rub his face and he sighed. “I'm certain. Or at the very least my father did; it is questionable if my mother would, she likely named me for a poet she rather liked.”

He honestly had no doubt that she did but it didn't change the fact that it made saying his full name awkward knowing how it sounded. Tsuki snickered a bit and muttered to herself his name; he turned red and pouted at her. “It's not funny.”

“Your name is Walter Reid. Like the hospital. Spencer Walter Reid. I love it, it's adorable,” she giggled, unable it seemed to be able to stop.

“It's not spelled the same!” he contested and she just laughed more, “I didn't laugh this much at your name...”

“So you admit it was at my name!”

“No no no, i-it wasn't! It really was because you were so cute rambling about it!” Spencer's eyes widened, feeling like he had fallen into a trap. But Tsuki continued to smile and giggle and he quickly realized she was just teasing; she wouldn't look so happy still if it was something she was upset about.

“Well, your name is adorable so there.” There was something decidedly childish in her comment that made him feel a little more at ease and he smiled before chuckling along with her.

The conversation from there trailed and moved in various ways. She admitted she had a middle name too, Alexia, which they both agreed was a lot more normal but Spencer still thought her first name was the best. They finished their drinks and continued to talk for a while longer there before deciding that it was best that they move and give everyone else a chance to sit. Plus there was still plenty of day left to spend time together and a whole city to explore.

Spencer held Tsuki's hand as they walked through the streets, trying not to smile too much at the simple act. He'd done so multiple times before but there was something inherently different about doing it out in public like this; it felt almost more real that they were together and out on a date, him Spencer Reid out with someone like her. The butterflies were back and he glanced over once or twice just to check that she was still there. She looked happy for her part, looking in shop windows and humming softly to herself some song; when she too turned to look at him it was always with this soft sort of smile followed with the slightest squeeze of his hand. He wondered if she was making sure he was there too; he wondered more why someone like her might need to.

For a time they just walked around, enjoying time together and getting a bit of exercise. Eventually though they came across an old movie theater and with only some slight convincing needed, Tsuki dragged him inside with tickets to showing of the original Halloween. Why she wanted to see an old horror movie he wasn't sure, and as a profiler he wasn't sure about seeing a serial killer kill a bunch of people on screen, but she seemed excited and he couldn't bring himself to say no to her. The duo got some popcorn and sodas, as well candy which she insisted upon as “how can we watch a movie set during Halloween time without some candy of our own?” He agreed completely and stole one of her Red Vines right in front of him.

The theater itself was pretty empty and they found they had their pick of seats for the most part. Spencer made mental calculations of perfect placement, so that they were close enough to see clearly but also far enough to not strain their eyes or have to hold their head at a potentially uncomfortable angle to watch; a third variable did cross his mind but after some blushing and pushing that far into the corners of his head. It would be inappropriate to do anything...touchy in there, even if they were pretty much the only ones there, only one other guy sitting near the front joining them it seemed. He didn't seem to notice them and probably wouldn't care but still, the fact he thought about it made him feel embarrassed enough.

While he thought though she tugged him towards a middle row and pulled him down to sit beside her; he nearly dropped the tub of popcorn but managed to catch himself, setting it in the seat on his other side before sitting and looking at her. Tsuki smiled and chuckled a little. “You're lucky you're attractive and I know you can overthink things or else I might get offended by how much you seem to be spacing out while out with me.”

“I was thinking about the best place for us to sit down,” he admitted.

“I figured as much,” she told him and knocked her shoulder lightly against his, “And I'm not upset; I was teasing you. As I said I know you think a lot, I like that about you; I just also like to hear what you're thinking about. It's really less about paying attention as it is about me worrying what must be on your mind so much to be distracting you.”

That made sense he supposed but it didn't escape his attention the way she said it. Part of him, the profiler, the agent, the man with a bachelors in psychology, wanted to ask more but between the fear of actually upsetting her by bringing it up and the lights dimming to signify the movie starting, he couldn't find the words. It didn't mean that it left him though as she settled into her seat to watch the movie, his eyes on her for a few seconds too long before turning to the screen as well.

This really was a weird choice to watch with his profession. As much as he loved the holiday it was named for, and he truly did, the idea of horror movies were often hit or miss; this one seemed to come of the weird serious sections of the time period it was made with and his mind was already racing with observations and thoughts on Michael, on the victims, on the events, on Doctor Loomis. He furrowed his brow. “What is Michael's exact diagnosis? Even if we take into consideration that a child who would kill his sister for no discernible reason could potentially be diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, the diagnosis of being 'evil' doesn't mean anything and does not denote anything. Shouldn't Loomis as a hopefully registered psychiatrist be trying to advocate for his patient rather than denounce him as evil?”

“Honestly I doubt anyone really thinks Loomis is much of a psychiatrist,” Tsuki added keeping her voice down, “He's kind of a nutcase himself.”

“He might have some sort of obsessive disorder of his own; his attitude towards Michael is honestly a little concerning,” Spencer said frowning, “Even taking into consideration that Michael's killed before. Also if Michael hasn't spoken in years, then that would make doing a proper examination of his mental state rather difficult and tells me there's other issues at play than just that he's 'evil'; children do not simply stop talking for no reason and true sociopaths and psychopaths do not tend to shut down like he did. I would wonder if there possibly was abuse in the household, potentially at the hands of his sister if that is why he killed her.”

“Not enough info to be sure,” she agreed nodding and the other man in the room turned to shush them, making Tsuki blush and sink into her seat.

Spencer did too, feeling guilt; he didn't mean to talk so loud or disturb anyone, he just couldn't help but think those things though and Tsuki made him feel comfortable enough to be willing to talk aloud. She had made it clear she wanted to know. He glanced over at her and they locked eyes, sharing a look of embarrassment that soon turned to smiles again. Somehow it didn't feel so bad when they got to share it.

He did his best not to speak too loudly or too much through the rest of the movie but it proved hard; every kill made him grumble about how unrealistic it was and every time Loomis showed up, Spencer couldn't help but be annoyed by how he acted. Call it a personal grudge; his mother having schizophrenia all his life meant that he was used to having interactions with mental health individuals a lot, and considering he had had her committed when he turned eighteen that did not go down as much as he liked sometimes to pretend like it did. Point was he knew therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, he had known people who had acted not much better than Loomis when it came to the mentally unwell. He didn't often go visit his mother, for entirely selfish painful reasons, but he always kept an eye on her and what was going on with her and he did a lot to make sure that even if Diana couldn't leave the institution, she was at least taken good care of. Thus seeing this man who seemed almost too happy to hunt down and treat his own patient, a man he was responsible for, as a monster made his blood boil.

Tsuki didn't seem to mind though despite the fact that he was mostly certain that she did hear him. She leaned against him throughout, eating popcorn and watching the movie with her head on his shoulder; she seemed rather relaxed for someone watching a movie involving people being stalked and brutally murdered. He expected her to jump but mostly she snuggled up to him and he couldn't bring himself to complain, wrapping one arm around her shoulders as he grumbled about how the police should act more alert in the situation and the confusion of what exactly was Michael's aim in seeming to be specifically stalking Laurie. As one teenager was killed and stuck to the wall he could not help but call out in disbelief, “That is not physically possible!”

The man in the front turned to shush them again, rather angrily this time, and Tsuki stuck her tongue out at him, something Spencer was willing to denounce as childish except that it was admittedly also amusing. Then she moved and kissed him, causing his brain to malfunction a little; the intention, he was sure, was to make sure he quieted down and it admittedly worked. He blinked a few times and she smiled before returning her attention to the movie.

The rest went by without problem, for the most part, though as the credits rolled and they made their move to leave, he caught sight of the man giving them a rather dirty look. Spencer bit his lip and taking Tsuki's hand, muttered to her an apology.

“What are you apologizing for?” she asked, the two of them walking out after throwing away their trash, returning to the sidewalk outside, “That was lots of fun.”

“But I kept talking through it,” he said, “And that man...”

“Oh well you were a little loud occasionally; you gotta learn to keep your voice down so others don't have to be disturbed while trying to watch things. But personally I found your insights made the movie more interesting.”

“You did?”

She nodded and they continued down the sidewalk. “Yup. I mean, I've seen Halloween before multiple times; I have a soft spot for horror movies and in my opinion it's one of the best. But there's only so much one gets out of watching a movie by oneself or with people who don't actually seem to get invested in it; the best way to enjoy something is always with others and by sharing feelings and thoughts. Maybe not a full on roast but you had a lot of interesting ideas, especially involving Michael's mental issues, something I never really thought about before. It changes how the movie is perceived for me.”

“So you weren't annoyed by my reactions?” He asked and she shook her head; he wasn't sure what to think. He didn't often get to watch things with others so he was admittedly used to being able to say things without worry; he knew it could be annoying, very annoying, to hear constant commentary and criticism. And Tsuki didn't entirely disagree that he was maybe a little too talkative during the movie, but instead of completely scolding him, she seemed to think that the commentary added to her enjoyment of this thing she liked rather than detracted from it. She told him it helped her to see the movie in a different way and he couldn't help but smile, feeling glad she wasn't mad.

“I look forward to seeing more movies with you in the future,” she said instead and she too smiled ass she looked at him, “That is if you'd be interested in going to another movie with me sometime. You can choose it.”

“I'd...I'd be happy to,” Spencer said, meaning it entirely; the idea of getting to spend time watching something with her, whether at her place or out in public, sounded lovely to him.

He squeezed her hand and checked the time. “So is there anything else you'd like to do or go?” The sun was still out and a large part of him found he wanted to spend as much time as possible with her, make the most of the time they had. He tried to think of all the things they could do on a date, within reason and normality, but truth be told he wasn't sure; what would make sense for a date with someone like Tsuki? The park came to mind, he was certain she'd like the park; maybe stop by a different bookstore and pick up something to read. Or go to the library, the library was certainly a choice.

“How about-” The words were cut short by the sound of his phone and they both stopped. Spencer felt a strange dread creep up inside him; there were a handful of people who could or would call him and none of them eased the sensation in his chest. He did not wish to answer, he did not wish for this moment to end; they had just started their first date, their very first date, and it seemed wrong for it have to end like this when they barely started.

He wondered how he looked to her because for once more she was touching his face but leaning up she laid a light kiss to his lips. “It's okay Spencer.”

“I'm sorry,” he muttered and let go of her hand to pull out his phone; it was Hotch, something had to have happened.

Tsuki smiled at him, that sweet kind smile of hers. “We can always meet up later, don't worry about it.”

Spencer wanted to promise to take her to dinner but he knew he might not even be in the city in time. He wanted to answer and tell Hotch that he couldn't come in but he knew he couldn't just do that either. He sighed and bowed his head, giving her an apologetic look before nodding. “Alright. Text you later?”

“Of course, I look forward to it, Spencer,” she said and gave him another kiss, this time on the cheek, “Now answer your phone and we'll talk some more next time.”

“I'll walk you home,” he said and his phone stopped ringing; he was took too much time and he knew that, he also knew Hotch would call him again soon if it was important, but he really did want to spend a little more time with her.

She chuckled as of course his phone did start ringing again and patted his head. “It's fine, I can get home but I do appreciate the offer. See you later.”

There was some disappointment but knowing he couldn't ignore Hotch for much longer Spencer realized he didn't have much of a choice. He quickly moved to kiss her, wanting to hold it for as long as he could, but eventually gave in, letting her go and answering the phone. “Sorry Hotch...yeah, I'll be in soon...”

Tsuki wouldn't have minded spending more time with him but he had responsibilities and she couldn't get in his way. Still as she walked away, making her way back to where her store was, she amused herself with thoughts of what their next date could be like. Dinner maybe, she certainly could make a picnic and they could eat out in the park but they'd need books; taking from her store would be nice but the idea of going to the library was definitely a possibility. She was glad he had enjoyed the movie even if he had seemed to mostly want to dissect it. She hadn't been lying about enjoying his commentary, though Spencer could talk about just about anything and she would have probably enjoyed it. He had a way of making things fascinating just by the strength of his excitement, the way he smiled and rambled, the way his hands moved and his eyes shone; Tsuki always enjoyed listening to him. He always made her happy with the way he talked, feel at peace and like things were good. Even the fact he apologized so much and seemed to awkward made her feel truly loved, almost afraid to upset her even if she tried her best not to make him feel like he could. It was a welcome change from the past, from before, from...

She shuddered though it was still day and it was far from cold. She didn't really want to think about that time in her life or especially about that person. Just the thought of him made her chest ache and she paused, unable to help but turn to look back towards where Spencer had walked off towards. There was comfort in his existence, he was sweet and loving, he honestly seemed to like her and being around her; the image of him that rainy day, his hair sticking to his face, his eyes wide and earnest as he tried to express his feelings for her, and further more the way he held her once they had been in the dry indoors. He was far too kind for her and to her; thoughts of that other person just brought those worries back to the surface, of whether she really deserved any of this, if she was really worthy of someone like Spencer. Tsuki wanted to believe it and she tried to focus on all the things Spencer did that stuck in her mind, on the way he looked asleep, the way he smiled, the way he teased, the existence of someone so absolutely warm and loveable that made it harder for all those old neuroses and fears, ingrained by someone else, to take root again. She told herself that those were of the past, could not harm her, could not touch her, and that person was gone. Tsuki was safe, she was okay, she would be okay.

“Well look who it is.” She was sure at first it was a conjuring of her mind and memories but that voice was all too clear and her body froze as she saw a familiar face approach. This had to be a nightmare, please let it be a nightmare; she knew that face and that smile and tears formed in her eyes before she took off running in a different direction, fast and far as her legs could carry her.

And every happy memory crashed down.
