#two introvert buddies that talk about deep stuff every once in a while

[rghema]

What? A friendship that nobody asked for? That's right! I just wanted to draw them dumbly looking at their crushes

[dirtyrottenraskel]

my take on yueki's personalities

yue 

notes / personality

cocky (but also like understated confidence - r e g a l af) 

kind of a nerd

maybe a little entitled, and a little bratty and suki loves to indulge her or to rile her up depending on her mood

books

seems soft but made of steel

strong sense of duty

socially intelligent - can be manipulative and suki (the dork) thinks it is so hot 

aloof queen bee typa beat

supportive, both in ur day to day and in going after your big moral life goals 

deep water - steady and powerful, often underestimated

untold depths, private yet surprisingly nurturing - master of deflecting away from herself

political nerd - well read, and when she has someone she trusts not to take advantage of her, she goes OFF 

distrusting of most people, has been used and ignored and underestimated her whole life

patient - homegirl knows how to play the long game

excellent at pai sho / chess 

she and suki have epic battles of wits - dif types of strategy but both are really into it and get a little too competitive (multiple board games have had to be replaced over the years)

loves travel bc wasn’t allowed to much, esp when she was sick 

was super repressed growing up - never let her be herself or really have any sort of independence

used to sneak out and wander around in rebellion and casually sabotage plans and decisions she didn’t agree with 

introverted, many opinions but keeps them to herself, discreet but well spoken

weaponizes secrets and information - doesn’t often use it but...she could

definitlyyyyy worries and overthinks and re-evaluates - worries ab social politics a lot

obsessive about picking things - wants it to be perfect

shes growing into her confidence as a leader

prefers quite intimate places

incredibly romantic

classic lit

planner for the future - visionary

kind / sweet / gentle - yes, but that’s also her “front” to a degree (seriously, i feel like she gets painted as so sweet and submissive and one dimensional by the fandom a lot of times and it freakin kills me)

INFJ-T (The Advocate) ((yes this is from 16p which i know is not super accurate but u can still catch her overall vibes from it ya know)

Creative/insightful/principled/compassionate/altruistic

sensitive/reluctant to open up/perfectionist/prone to burnout/not a fan of the ordinary

friendships / relationships

(<> indicates that they’re one of her best friends)

sokka - puppy love crushes, laugh ab it now, get into deep late night talks about responsibilities and leading, water tribe culture, prank wars (no one believes sokka when he says yue is a mean prank master (expect suki comes to see it in action lol))

katara - <> badass women friendship, totally would go to matches and protests together, tough girl shit, waterbending practice/duels - start of cautious, but then get rough in a good way bc they trust each other, they do water tribe food adventures together

toph - indulges her chaos, bonding over stupid royal upbringings, odd yet weirdly endearing pair

zuko - both sort of standoffish gay royals, but once they come to see that they are friends - take up similar spaces though, so only hang out in a group or rarely by themselves, they do hang out at like political parties and stuff when they get more comfortable together

aang - <> he has an impressive world view, yue is super studied and well read, so she and aang nerd out over past cultures together, and also their peace keeping nature, they have tea together often - usually after she and katara wipe the floor w/ each other

clothing / aesthetic:

blues and pale colors

classy and understated wealth

like those cute feminine button down shirts

dresses

like cold weather classy

complicated braids

sort of soft girl aesthetic?

pleated skirts !!!

i feel like she would wear ethically sourced fur (i don’t wear fur but idk how to get it in an ethical way - maybe it’s just fake??)

knit sweaters and skinny jeans and heeled ankle boots

light academia !!!

hella funky earrings - to mark her native pride and also cuz gay

from my readings, tattoos have a lot of cultural significance for Inuit women, and so i feel like yue would totally have some (when she comes of age ofc) 

suki

notes / personality 

extroverted 

also very strategic 

more spontaneous tho - will totally calculate the odds in a spilt second in her head and then just go for it

like still a careful planner, but willing to say fuck it, yolo if it seems right 

reflects on her mistakes, but more in like a healthy way - unless it was a leadership mistake, then it eats her up inside - worries more ab keeping her girls safe and making the right call

likes lively places

total bashful romantic

manages the present and the short term - realist

loves to do lists 

a little punch happy - loves to make violent threats, but also does it out of excitement and she’s just a really physical person tbh

steady, can come off as stubborn and abrasive but she really just wants what’s best for everyone she loves

harsh on herself and worries about her girls a lot 

always ends up in the oddest situations 

totally would kick someone’s ass for being racist/sexist/homophobic/etc 

dedicated to her training and her regime 

not a great cook, but she can manage 

would drink monsters 

has a weird relationship with femininity - took her awhile to reconcile strength and toughness and being assertive and aggressive with also wanting to feel pretty and feminine and embracing being a girl and how those things can coincide and amplify each other

abandonment issues - parents absent/dead 

was imprisoned - obvi she had several almost successful escape attempts, but she got really close to breaking 

was incredibly independent really early, grew up really fast and tries to make up for that now by sometimes being reckless 

tough/assertive/woman of action 

dry sense of humor/sarcastic - not good at nickname/pun humor tho

practical/dedicated/strong-willed/direct/honest/reliable/loyal/patient

stubborn/judgmental/difficult to relax/difficulty expressing emotions/too selfless 

friendships / relationships

(<> indicates that they’re one of her best friends)

sokka - <>  man they’re like platonic soulmates - she beat him up, and now they spar all the time, totally funny and crack jokes all the time, go skating together, they do shitty art together, and then show their lovers after zuko and yue come back from their high society mixers, broke her out of prison, m/f friendship !!! 

katara - also sparring buddies (suki will throw down at any literally moment (and tbh so will katara)), not close but will hang in a group - go to each other for advice 

toph - <> listen these two wreak havoc together, they help each other out a lot, i feel like they’re shopping buddies (similar enough style to frequent the same shops) toph knows suki won’t judge her for wanting to feel pretty and suki knows toph will be honest, they are both blunt sarcastic assholes and get along like a house on fire 

zuko - <> shows zuko how to like,,,enjoy things (and how to let go of some of that pressure to be always right and the adult and in charge bc they were raised with so much responsibility on their shoulders even tho they were just kids)? she is also super protective of him (once she trusts him), one of the only ppl who can match suki fully in hand to hand combat, both do the Disappointed Parent Look when the group falls into chaos, but by themselves, the two of them end up in hijinks

aang- suki enjoys his optimism and they’re just chill bros, they love exploring abandoned placed together 

clothing / aesthetic

sporty and skater mixed 

ripped jeans, crewnecks, vans 

green and yellow and dark red 

gym clothes/athleisure - lifting style gym clothes - cut off t-shirts and bike shorts

skirts too, likes to play into femininity

she’s a gold jewelry kinda girl - but stuff that won’t hinder her movements 

necklaces that end in the hollow of her throat & occasionally rings

definitely cuffs all of her jeans (it’s just bisexual culture ya know)

so many crop tops - some came like that, some were more of a diy project

yueki’s relationship!!!

nerd/jock solidarity 

feel the burden of responsibility and the weight on their shoulders 

they create a safe space between them, full of trust and warmth and vulnerability 

yue will read suki sappy passages from poetry books while suki polishes her fans 

they slow dance in the kitchen a lot 

they get good at ordering takeout - and they have some weird decision making process that only they understand - bc neither of them are great cooks 

yue would feel jealous of suki and sokka, if it weren’t for how stupid in love sokka was with zuko and yue can see that suki really only has eyes for her 

yue is taller than suki and it amuses her to no end to pick suki up and carry her away from a fight (we all know suki could get away if she wanted to, but when ur hot tall sexy gf throws u over her shoulder,,,,,,u don’t complain)

joke they’ve adopted kataang and zukka, bc they’re all dummies, but in reality every last one of them is stupid LMAO 

they love to do each other’s hair and it’s like super intimate and really cute 

sometimes it’s these epic elaborate hairstyles and then at other times, they try to see how many ponytails they can fit on suki’s head and how many little braid yue can do 

they travel EVERYWHERE 

since yue is royalty and suki is her body guard,,,, well i mean, they totally have to see these kingdoms they are doing trade deals with in person 

it helps that they're friends with a lot of them 

they stay over in everything from camping so they can stargaze to ritzy hotels with hot tubs in the bathroom 

yue gives suki rocks she finds on all their travels and suki lines them up on their mantle around the pictures of them in increasingly weird locations 

suki loves guarding yue’s meetings bc she gets to watch her absolutely rip a new one into misogynistic old men and it never fails to bring her joy 

While yue doesn’t love getting attacked, the ruthless efficiency suki defends her with is like,,,,,stupid attractive 

[ill-skillsgard]

what if early into their relationship before they made it official faust took faith to a friends party, maybe he’s being an ass and telling everyone that they’re not together together so he leaves her on her own a bit to get a beer or to talk to an old flame and she just comes running to him a mess and wanting to go home, maybe some guy tried to make a move on her but wasn’t taking no for an answer & got rough with her. would he comfort her? feel guilty? realise his feelings? murder the guy?

**warning: mentions of drugs, alcohol, partying etc.**

Faust wrestled with himself on this one. He’s not sure if she can withstand a night around his buddies. But she won’t let up. Faith wants to go to a party. She’s old enough to make her own decisions, and the taste of rebellion she got with Faust had her wanting to push the limit.

Faith lied to her mom and dad about where she was going that night. She made up a fake friend, named her Jessica, and asked if she could stay out since it was Friday night and she wasn’t in high school anymore. After much negotiation and a few bats of her lashes, she got permission to leave the house for the evening. 

They met at the corner of her street. Faith couldn’t risk her father peering out the window to see her catching up with a guy like him, so the crosswalk at the funeral home became their spot. Faith circled around the building and found Faust smoking in the parking lot, waiting for her.

Faust had low expectations of the night ahead. His friends were crazy, and he warned her it wouldn’t be anything like the punch-chips-and-parent parties she was probably used to. If Faith could hold her own among the chaos, she’d impress him.

She assured him several times she wasn’t as delicate as she seemed, so he gave her the benefit of the doubt, and toted her along with him to a house party.

At first, nobody heckled Faust for bringing a girl along. Normally, females showed up in packs, and the guys took turns picking them off until the alcohol ran dry and everyone skulked away to fuck. But nobody could ever hold a girlfriend down for long enough to show up at a party with one. Seeing the tall, introverted drummer with a girl like Faith rose eyebrows. 

As the night matured, somebody gathered enough balls to ask Faust if he planned on fucking the girl next to him. Faust stayed demure, smirking to himself while Faith picked at her fingernails. When he stood up, her eyes followed him, turning wide with trepidation as he left the room to find a refill on his beer. Then the flies came buzzing. 

First, it was the guy who asked if they were fucking. He plopped down next to her rather close on the couch and leaned over until she could smell the stale alcohol on his breath.

“Why you wasting time with Faust? You wanna come back to my place and have a really good time?”

“No, thanks. I came with him, and I’ll be leaving with him too,” Faith said.

“Pffft, fuck you, bitch!” Droplets of the man’s spit touched her face, and she scooted down the couch, turning her shoulders in and hoping Faust would come back soon. “Aw, what? You don’t like me?”

He chased her down the couch until she couldn’t move any farther. Another guy with long blond hair came in and noticed the girl on the couch cowering from his friend. 

“Who’s this? Haven’t seen you around before, little lass,” the blond said.

Faith stood up and felt her head spin. Woozy from the smoke drifting through every room, she took in several deep breaths and dodged questions as they slung.

“Where ya goin’, honey?” Someone called after her.

She went down the hall, stopping at an open door to look for Faust, finding two people making out on a mattress instead. Apologizing for the intrusion, Faith kept on until she spotted a rather tall guy with long black hair and a leather jacket. Faith reached to tap on his shoulder, but the person who turned around was not who she was looking for.

“Who brought their kid?”

“Who’s that?”

“What is she wearing?”

Faith didn’t know if the voices were talking about her or if she only picked up on bits and pieces of conversation, and in her anxious mind, wove them into insults against her. Darting her eyes about, she didn’t notice many people staring, but that did little to convince her she wasn’t horribly out of place.

Finally, she found Faust out in the garage, smoking with several other guys who looked just like him. They all noticed her at once, cocking their heads at the unfamiliar girl who stumbled in. All except Faust, who watched her until she descended the steps and didn’t stop until she was at his side, pressing close to his elbow.

“Um, hi. I wasn’t sure where you went,” she murmured as his friends picked up the conversation without him.

He waggled his fresh beer bottle. “Sorry, just went to get a drink. Why? What’s up?”

Faith scoffed. “What’s up? I don’t know, you just left me in a weird room with some guy.”

He was about to laugh when he noticed the genuine fear in her eyes. It was a mistake to bring her; he decided. She wasn’t like the trashy girls his friends were used to hanging around. Faith was pretty—too pretty and too nice to be left alone in a den of slurring idiots. 

Like a magnet, Faith clung to his side for the next thirty minutes as he talked music gear with his buddies. When she sighed and let her eyes wander the garage, Faust noticed, and cut himself out of the circle.

“What, are you not having a good time?” He asked.

“No, I am. I just don’t know anyone.”

Faust smirked. “Don’t lie. You’re not having a good time. You even left your drink inside.”

“Sorry,” she said. “I don’t want to go back in there by myself. Yeah, I know, I’m a pussy—”

“It’s fine. It’s getting late, anyway. We should hitch a ride with my friend and get out of here.”

She panicked. “Uh, well, I can’t really go home. I told my parents I was at a sleepover. So they won’t expect me home until morning at least.”

The smirk overtaking his mouth spread into a sly smile. Faust popped his eyebrows up, biting his lip before taking a swig of beer. “Don’t worry, we can go back to my place. But I don’t have an extra bed or couch though. So... It’s up to you.”

Faith stayed quiet until they entered his apartment and went straight to his bedroom. He could tell she was nervous, far too nervous for him to take any pleasure in an attempt at seduction. It wasn’t the right time. 

She fiddled with the sleeves of her sweater, taking in the posters covering most of the blue paint on the walls. Half the band logos were illegible, but the pictures interested her. Or she pretended they did to play off her nerves.

“I’m not gonna try to sleep with you or anything.”

Faith turned toward him, already stripped of his jacket, hoodie and bullet belt. All that remained was a black t-shirt and his jeans. She admired the denim clinging to his legs and noted the first time she saw his bare arms. To her surprise, he had no tattoos to speak of.

“Oh... You’re not? Isn’t that why you invited me back here?”

“You’re the one who said you had to stay out all night, and it was pretty obvious you weren’t having a blast at the party. So... Yeah. Not gonna try an’ fuck you. I don’t put that kind of pressure on women. Ever.”

“Seriously?” She chuckled.

He did not return her sentiment. “Fuck no. The only thing you rightfully own in this world is your body.”

It was clear Faust drew his lines somewhere, and she respected the moral parameters he set for himself so far. So much so, she longed to go to him and wrap her arms around his waist. He stood there, eyebrows knit together, assuring her he wanted nothing to do with her physically, and all she wanted was to kiss him.

He let her get into bed first so he could turn off the light and pad across the room after her. They said their goodnights, and he rolled over to face away from her.

“Faust?” She murmured after a minute of silence.

“Yeah?”

Faith scooted closer to him, cuddling into his back. His hair smelled nice, and the warmth of his body made her feel ways she had never felt before.

“I know you said all that stuff about not wanting to do anything, but... What if I want to?”

He rolled over at once. “You don’t.”

“I do. I mean... Eventually. With you.”

Silence followed, and Faith worried she’d pissed him off.

“Yeah, I know you do.”

“Do you want to... With me?”

“Maybe,” said Faust.

“Just maybe?”

“If I kiss you, will you stop talking after?”

“Yes,” she peeped.

He found her in the dark, hand coasting down her back to rest at the base of her spine, pulling her closer. Their lips met once, slowly, twice, three times, then she came too close to his groin, and he flinched away.

“I’m not getting handsy with you either. Just take it easy,” he told her.

“You’re seriously not going to try anything?” Faith asked.

“You said you’d stop talking if I kissed you. So, why are you still talking?”

“Sorry!” She said. “I just don’t understand you.”

“Good. Now keep it in your pants.”

Faust went against everything Faith had ever learned about boys. Why was he hellbent on turning her down? There had to be a reason, and she wanted to know why. He kissed her one last time before forcing her to roll over to face the wall. 

He knew what he was doing, and it was working.

if naruto characters were your desk neighbours~

i lowkey miss the chaos in school, and not the actual school,, also recently rewatched the final battle between sasuke and naruto- this nostalgia overloaded. ya

Matchup for @doctorgerth​

Here’s my info for ya, Hazel! - 23 - Heterosexual, into men! - INFJ - Cancer - Shoulder length light brown hair, dark green eyes, 5’9”, on the thick/curvy side - I’m assuming this is clothing? I’m usually a comfy cute/casual kinda style! Like shorts and a T-shirt or skinny jeans and a cute top! I wear baseball caps a lot when I’m too lazy to do anything with my hair lol - hobbies include writing (obviously lol), playing with my kitties, traveling, and watching cooking shows! interests include traveling (I just love going places), nature, animals, children, and eating! 😂 - uhhhh I have two cats lol and I can play clarinet - favorite food is pasta for sure, more specifically an Alfredo. my favorite color is light blue/pastel colors. my favorite animals include cats, foxes, and whale sharks! - I’m terribly afraid of heights and spiders. Also I’m a big people pleaser so I’m scared of letting people down. Though I’m going to be a teacher, I’m actually quite scared of speaking to large crowds lol little kids don’t bother me, but talking to a large crowd of people my age or older, yeah I don’t like that. I’ll do it if I have to of course, but not without internally panicking lol - My dream is actually in the works as I am becoming a teacher!! Other than this, I want to travel as much as possible while I can. If I can’t go out of the country, my dream is to visit all states in the continental US!! After getting everything I want to do done, I want to settle down somewhere, continue to teach, and have a family. ❤️ - As for extra stuff...as you can probably tell, I can be a bit overly emotional and sensitive, but that makes me very empathetic and loving! Introverted where I do like alone time but not to the point where I always want to be home by myself. I also love adventures like kayaking, or going to museums/zoos/aquariums, theme parks, or just traveling and experiencing new places! Very into stargazing and astronomy. I also love being on or near the water! I’m not the best at making friends just because I'm a lil awkward and anxious around new people. I prefer my small clique over having lots of friends, but I’m always friendly to strangers/others as long as they are friendly to me! I am definitely the mom of my friends, making sure they’re always safe, sound, and happy. People tend to compliment me on the fact that I’m easy to talk to. I may not ever have the best advice, but I am always willing to listen to someone vent, rant, or just talk about their feelings! I live for small get togethers with friends rather than large parties. I’m pretty low-maintenance, so I never expect fancy dates or expensive gifts! I’m always down for staying at home with movies and home-made dinners! Total cat mom, I love my and all fur babies. I’m also studying to be an elementary teacher so I love little kids! Big big heart for animals and children! All in all, I’m a really laid back person who loves deep, personal connections with people, and also my alone time every now and then! I tend to fall in love pretty easily and thus get my feelings hurt just as easy lol but when I fall in love I always fall head first, full force to make sure my s/o is happy! I definitely put my all when it comes to love in relationships. My love language is physical touch so my man (and friends to an extent) should expect lots of physical affection from me!! Kisses, hugs, cuddles, all of it! SOOOO excited for get a matchup from you, my darling!! Thank you for the opportunity! 💖

aaaa Coop! I am super hyped for this, I hope you like your match, I always love the wonderful ones you do 🐵! Although I will always ship Cooler, for a more realistic relationship I match you with...

OTP:  Marco The Phoenix 

Marco, as a pirate, is super adventurous, ready to take you on all sorts of adventures. But after all is seen and most adventures lived, he’s just as much ready to just settle down, start a family, whether it be furbabies, adopted kids or of your own. He takes after his pops, kids are definitely on the list!

You take care of him whenever he works too long and forgets to eat or sleep, he takes care of you whenever you feel like you need to unwind. Since you’re both easy to talk to and share the same kind of energy, you can just unwind by talking with each other, cuddling on the couch or in bed while you just relay your days onto each other, neither of you feeling like you’re unloading. 

You surprise each other with small tokens of appreciation, such as homemade lunches with sweet notes, surprise visits whenever you thought the other one was working. You never go sleep without saying goodnight, and never leave without saying good morning, even if its just a kiss on the forehead of whoever is sleeping. 

There are barely any fights or arguments. You both have certain maturity and know how to communicate with people. Whenever something does go wrong, you can settle for a mature discussion and even agree to disagree whenever it’s not a deal breaker. Willing to make compromises and working towards personal growth makes this relationship stable and healthy, even after the honeymoon phase is over, you still stay deeply in love, just because you connect so well. 

Since you’re both busy working, you respect each other’s alone time and privacy, but at the same time plan in moments that are meant for just the two of you. Whether it’s actual dates (hiking trip, visiting a cool island nearby, walks on the beach, visiting your favorite restaurant or bar) or just spending a quiet evening at home where you both temporarily forget about work and enjoy each other’s presence and company. It’s the best way to keep your stress level down, and establishes healthy communication and best of all, makes sure that you’re never too long without stolen kisses, nice cuddles and all other physical touches you need to feel completely relaxed and happy! 

Runner up:  X Drake

There are quite the few places where X Drake checks off all the marks you need: adventurous, love for animals, stargazing while being able to tell you all the names of the stars and constellations that you can see that day, a certain maturity... You could make quite the good couple! 

With Drake, most of your time would be spent outside, he doesn’t like being holed up too much. Hiking, being at sea, nightly walks under the night sky, walks around town, discovering new islands and doing some exploring... those will be your most frequent dates. 

Drake is honest and straightforward, no beating around the bush. He respects you, your needs and your personal space and will do everything in his power to make sure you are happy and comfortable even in the most difficult times. Those are bound to happen because of his lifestyle, but he will do his best to make sure you won’t suffer under it. 

why he is not your number one: Drake is.... not used to physical affection, to give a bit of an understatement. He gets flustered too easily and will tend to push you away, especially in public, but even in private he can get overwhelmed. Unfortunately, it may take a little too much time to get him used to your love language, you need someway to let out all that love! 

BrOTP: Bepo 

A little bit of an unusual friendship match, but Bepo and you have just the right amount of vibes in common to work out as great buddies! Both a little on the sensitive and softer side, you both are 100% there for each other when the other feels a little down or self-conscious. Comfort bear hugs? Incoming! 

Bepo and you can spend hours doing whatever activity you feel like doing, mostly something semi-active to keep both your minds and bodies occupied, while you each talk about your friends, your families and crews. You help him feel a little more confident in his abilities, and both of you are amazing in helping each other out when someone has come to you for advice but you need an outsider’s perspective. 

Even though you cannot spend an insane amount of time together generally because Bepo will 100% follow Law and wherever he goes, the moments you are able to meet up and catch up are worth it so much. It’s like your social batteries get reset, and you’re ready to take on everything in your life that was bothering you once again!

he has his honors classes, obviously, has to answer to all the prestigious colleges, has to write his valedictorian speech, is the president of the student council, and tutors on mondays and wednesdays,,,RIP mark the senior

catch him at lunch dizzy-eyed at his homework he got that day,,,,boy does homework at lunch

always makes time for his friends because he knows he can’t spend all he time studying,,,,though he tries

his college buddies always tell him it’ll get better when he graduates but mark calls BULLSHIT

he’s seen taeil act like an absolute zombie because of college and,,,,yikes

is always super stressed and everyone can tell, but he’s always happy for his friends and it makes them :(((( because he’s so cute :(((((

you’re a total underachiever at school, you meet because a teacher forces you to receive tutoring,,,,and mark is your tutor

he can feel the migraine just form looking at you,,,so he just plows though the stuff,,,,and sees something surprising….

you actually,,,,get it

he asks you why you underachieve and you literally say ‘because school isn’t stimulating enough’ sO

mark gets the idea to encourage you to learn,,,,and uses cool tactics to get you to study and work hard and you actually have,,,,fun

were kisses part of the motivation?

mayhaps

but the point is you passed your classes and graduated with your valedictorian boyfriend

everyone expects him to go into college for nuclear chemistry or some shit but homeboy,,,,goes into music production,,,,,like what

his friends? not surprised

the entirety of the school population? astounded

you celebrate by renting him a studio for a whole month and he legit,,,,cries because it’s the most thoughtful gift ever

and he thanks you by writing a song for you and singing it for you and he pulls you in once it’s done and kisses you til you can’t breathe

and then you’re very happy that you spent so much money on renting the place

he continues to rent the place even after the initial month because it holds so many memories of his friends and you

this time mark goes at his own pace in college,,,,he doesn’t overwork himself on things he doesn’t enjoy,,,,homeboy is happy

and that’s what matters

renjun; the smart alec ™

boy has the –__– face 25/8

he’s an unapproachable KING

he’s just a smart junior who couldn’t give two shits since ,,,you broke your leg and need help going up the stairs? he’s not your fuckin mom 

but also,,,,buddyboy is a HUGE softy,,,,like dogs? you mean angels of purity and the sinners AKA humans don’t deserve them

he’s close as fuck with his family,,,,is a true babyboy

is he going to be the next valedictorian? yes. will he be overworking himself? no. he’s already seen mark,,,,sis ain’t pretty after exams

renjun is very naturally smart,,,,and that gives him a little pride , so he’s also very prideful and sarcastic

his humor is dry, existential and sarcastic, a proud squidward descendant

he looks pissed all the time but is actually just very deep in thought and too busy not caring to look nice

either comes to school in a smart casual outfit or looking soft™,,,,cute or intimidating, nothing in between

is he taking A1 notes? yes. is he also doodling on the margins? hell yes.

he owns several coffee table books filled with Monet, van gogh, frida kahlo, Picasso, Renoir, Cezanne…etc.

he’s a huge art nerd and would love to go to school for graphic design or something

his phone screen saver is always a baroque painting because….aesthetic and the technique? can you believe how beautiful it looks like most of that shit was fresco and that shit is hARD – 

he meets you because he goes to an art exhibition by himself on the weekend and sees a painting that was so beautiful  he almost cried,,,like damn

he asked the curator who tf drew that good shit and it was YOU,,,yes YOU!!!

he does internet stalking and learns you actually go to his school your just a recluse and you’re very introverted

he finds you (somehow) and asks is he can paint with you sometime,,,you say yes and you two meet at the studio on that saturday

and the saturday after that

….and then the saturday after that 

long story short, he paints you painting (paint-ception) and uses it to ask you on a date,,,,uwu shit right there man

no one thinks he loves his neck to be touched,,,because he WILL stab whoever tries,,,,but with you….he’ll let it happen

he gives the softest kisses,,,like he’s scared of you but melts when you kiss his nose and it makes him :( soft

almost yeeted haechan out the three-story window of your studio when he tripped and spilled oil paints all over your painting

you stopped him with a kiss,,,,,you cute bitch

jeno; the gold-hearted jock™

the only time he looks intimidating is when he’s playing basketball,,,,that’s it,,,,

everyone knows how cute he is, even teacher’s know! the principal! the president! this bitch is cute!

a junior that’s so good at b-ball that he was offered a spot at several colleges,,,,several 

he’s average at school, his notes are the most basic shit ever,,,,he hates science and math but can somewhat tolerate history and languages

he’s popular with girls involuntarily, was very confused when girls started to confess to him

always smiles and says thank you to the people that confess, but tells them that he has to focus on basketball

actually loves basketball, like he’s not faking or shit,,,it makes him so happy and stimulates his mind in all the right ways

forces his friends to play basketball with him when they hang out,,,just to have the satisfaction of absolutely crushing them

meets you when you went to the varsity basketball teams practice to take pictures for the yearbook, since you were in charge of the sports sections

you wanted to get a shot of the star™ of the team but a layup went wRONG and hit you square in the face

your camera was around your neck so it was fine

but your life flashes before your yes RIP

he screamed louder than you did and automatically took you to the nurses office and apologized so much it gave you more of a headache than the ball did

you cover his mouth out of desperation and it makes his heart go JIUHRGFIUBRG

and you were??? unaffected???? you just looked like you were suffering???

and you not throwing yourself at him was ???? attractive? 

so when he saw you again when you had to take individual pictures of each b-ball member he asked you out 

,,,,and the rest is history

his jerseys always go missing because you take them from him,,,,but you both tell the coach that he ‘lost’ it

he loves to run his fingers through your hair and massage your scalp and nape....and you just melt into his chest and it’s just....so cute

he just :::(((( wants your kisses and hugs and attention ::(((

he gives the best back-hugs,,,and his kisses are always sudden pecks that leave your heart racing

you always tell people that he’s the most annoying clingy crybaby ever but he’s your annoying clingy crybaby and you’ll fight anyone who hurts him

he insists on taking a picture of you and him together every game and posts them so that everyone knows you belong to him and he belongs to you 

:(((( you guys are literally the cutest couple in the world, and you get slightly popular too 

jeno gets jealous whenever guys still try to ask you out,,,,and he comes up and wrap his arms around your waist and mutter if you’re done yet while glaring at the guy or girl 

he’s cute but protective :( so cute:(

haechan; the trickster™

this boy is a little annoying fuck that irritates teachers and students alike,,, but somehow people can’t hate him because homeboy,,,,is funny

he has detention like every weekend because he’s always acting up in class 

he isn’t dumb, he has a few average classes and a few bad classes -- like everyone in junior year

but he excels in his extracurriculars, which are musical theater and choir,,,,his voice? angelic, everyone knows this

his theater buddies are the only people he can stand that aren’t his close friends//the dreamies

he plays pranks on the teachers with tacks on chairs, switches expo markers for permanent markers, pranks students with putting confetti in their lockers, making fun of them,,,,harmless things

but it still earns him a reputation for trouble

he doesn’t do drugs or skip classes, he’s not a ‘badboy’,,,,though sometimes he leaves English class early for an ‘appointment’  

he always wears black skinny jeans with a hoodie and vans or converse, has hoodies of every color to ever exist, same with his shoes

sometimes wears a snapback and glasses -- he is one attractive boy

but girls know that he couldn’t care less about dating so no one approaches him, just admire form far away

no students really fight back with him, they just let him be him, they’re used to his antics

but you,,,,you have one hell of a temper sis,,,,,like damn

he gets the best reactions out of you, who usually gets so mad that you both get detention and spend your saturdays together cleaning the school

you hate his guts since he always gets you into trouble, and he loves your guts because you always react to whatever he says

however one time he takes it too far,,.,,

he decided to pull a classic prank on the teacher, one that might get him into a lot of trouble,,,,water in a pail above the door

all the students are in class when he sets up the prank, no one stopping him, and then he sits down, snickering

however the teacher comes in through the back door, surprising everyone, and everyone gasps when you walk through the front door, running late,,,,

and the water drops

you are completely soaked, head to toe, in what smells like dirty school water

you just glare at haechan who for once, regrets a prank, 

the teacher grimaces and sends you and haechan to the office, to ‘talk it out’

you end up having to garden outside for detention,,,,and you don’t understand why you have to do it but you don’t complain, you just glare at haechan for the first half of detention

he feels really bad,,,,so he follows you around the garden asking for forgiveness in the form of....a date

you say no until he annoys you so much that you scream out

“OKAY YES GOD DAMN IT, PICK ME UP AT 7 PM”

you and homeboy always get into petty arguments that are solved through kisses 

that one couple that is super judgmental of others and always bicker but it’s lowkey cute 

you teach him to be less of an ass, and he teaches you to chill out,,,,he’s the only one that can calm your temper down,,,,,with cuddles

the teachers thank you every day for calming him down and you still get gifts from the students who were always teased

a power couple™

jaemin; the heartthrob™

girls are always surrounding him,,,,,like deadass they are EVERYWHERE

surprisingly, he doesn’t really like it because he can never talk to his friends at school without getting mobbed so :\

but he’s way too nice to ask them to leave or decline them so he just smiles and tries to be polite,,,,

but every girl thinks he’s into them when he’s that nice so homeboy can never cATCH A BREAK

dresses like a hardcore fuckboy, but he can’t help it he just really likes the style man

his teachers like him, and some of the younger one’s always have to remind themselves that he’s just a student whenever he flashes that smile

has a teacher hit on him before? yes, it was a very young female history (like 22, just graduated) earlier on in junior year and she just always winked at him and gave him random extra credit for no reason and he WAS TERRIFIED

asked his bffs (the dreamies) to report her because he was high key afraid to do it himself and they did and she was fired,,,,,best day of his life

his grades are on the better side, always is very neat and orderly despite common thinking

loves psychology and human geography because he loves people and wants to learn more about them

he meets you because you’re the president of the culture club, and he wants to join and want the vice president position

you’re very impartial about it honestly, you think he’s very attractive and all but you just want to make sure all the club members are,,,,good members and not just there for the college resume 

you talk to him one-on-one for the interview and,,,,he literally just pops off with information and genuine positivity and curiosity and love for culture,,,,and you’re speechless 

after he’s done he thinks he did something wrong because you’re just staring at him,,,,

“uh....did I say something wrong?”

“huh? o-oh, no....it’s just that -- you’re very popular for your looks but I think your mind is the most attractive part about you. you’re very genuine, it’s attractive.”

and the compliment that flowed from you so easily just,,,,,melted his heart

needless to say, he gets the position, and every time he sees you on Thursdays he just.....turns red

you’re blatantly attracted to him, not for his face, but for him and his mind

it makes him feel like he’s more than just a pretty face and you’re straight-forward flirting with him makes him feel a certain way that other girls just, can’t do to him 

“jaemin”

“yeah?”

“we should go on a date to the culture museum downtown”

“o-o-okay”

like,,,,you say it all with a straight face,,,,you’re the one who makes all the first moves, and he loves it 

you have him wrapped around your finger in the cutest way possible,,,

he calls you princess and always sweet talks you and when you two face-time each other, he always makes your stoic face crumble into red

he loves seeing you so unraveled, so he also always makes time to make-out with you after club 

dating him is always genuine and full of sweet moments, arguments rarely happen because you’re very logical and honest and he’s empathetic and understanding -- you two are a perfect match

also you kind of scare the rest of the girls,,,so they stop crowing him and you’re just like ?????

his friends are so thankful because they can actually talk to him now 

you queen lol

chenle; the class clown™

NOT THE SAME AS THE TRICKSTER

everyone is always consistently annoyed with the trickster,,,,but everyone literally loves chenle

the teachers, the student-body, the animals and administrators -- everyone

he’s genuinely funny and respectful, sometimes he’ll get caught off track when ever he talks too much but all he needs is a reminder

he’s a sophomore so teachers think he’ll grow out of it at some point,,, how wrong they are because his friends say that he’s the same even at sleepovers

other than being funny and loved,,, he’s also very bossy and occasionally whiny

like the student body loves him and all but get paired with him for a project? you need the patience of a thousand yoda’s like holy hell boy is bOSSY

yells at students who don’t listen to him,,,,but does it cutely so they still can’t hate him

you’d think he’d have amazing grades because he’s bossy in projects but he’s actually just mediocre because he spends all class coming up with jokes and finding the perfect time to interrupt the teacher for a joke 

he comes to school in expensive clothes because he’s well-off and usually gets his friends expensive gifts too

his friend’s love him because he’s genuine and a funny non-asshole, unlike haechan who they also love but it a bit of a pain in the butt

you, you are the most sweetest, most patient, and loving person the whole world has ever seen, but you’re also very quiet

your face is ^W^ every single damn day

so one day when you get paired with chenle in a history project,,,,no one is surprised that you don’t even flinch at his commanding words

however, one day, when chenle has a pretty bad morning (like he forgot his homework, he forgot his lunch, he failed a test and spilled milk on his shirt)

he’s actually bossy enough to,,,,annoy the students and teacher, and his complaining gets so bad that he gets sent out into the hall to cool off

for the first time in his life, he actually gets in trouble trouble

the people in your group are all kinda irritated, but you are still ^w^, so the teacher asks if you can go out into the hallway and talk to him, because she’s worried about him

you nod and without a word, make your way out into the hallway 

he sees you and crosses his arms, expecting you to scold him, but you just stand there and put a hand on his shoulder, asking very nicely if everything is okay

and he just,,,,feels compelled to vent to you,,,,

he feels like a little kid but is in such a better mood after the venting,,,,,he just hugs you and thanks you 

“why didn’t you get annoyed at me earlier like everyone else?”

“because i think your pouting face is very cute and i figured you were just in a bad mood”

“hUH”

you are his venting person™

he literally tells you EVERYTHING

always asks you to also vent to him and so you try to, but you really never get annoyed with anything so you usually just tell him about your day

you only get annoyed at people when they hurt one of your friend’s feelings, so that;s that

cuddle everyday, every second,,,, non-stop love from and to chenle,,, a pure couple

you guys are just always supporting one another,,,,,and chenle is one of the only people who see you when you’re feelings down and sad and he just,,,,,gives you so much love that you :)

jisung; that dance kid™

the best sophomore dancer there is

the best dancer in the entire high school, PERIODT

literally talks about dance all.the.time. like,,,, Annie are you okay?

constantly thinking of routines and songs to dance to and watching others dancing videos and listening to music,,,,,this boy has one and one hobby onLY

gets yelled at in class from time to time because literally all he does is think dance dance dance dance dance

and so he sometimes takes his phone out of his pocket in class to watch videos when he’s bored,,,, on instinct and the teachers are just like -__-

but they’re used to it at this point

looks up to his older friend’s that are amazing dancers like ten and taeyong and always ask them for advice

they always tell him to look after and care for his body,,,,,but he can’t hear them because he’s busy staying up until 3 am getting this damn dance perfect -- 

always wears sweats to school, because he can dance in them automatically

sometimes wears nice clothes when chenle pesters him about it for eight days straight  

girls don’t pay much attention to him because he seems too,,,,,spacey and just,,,,,,you can’t talk to him because he’s not paying attention

the guys in the school love him because they think he’s adorable but also extremely talented at dance so

did i mention that he sucks at science?

because he sucks at science, SO HARD

like, every other subject? A or A minus

but chemistry????? like???? what the actual holy god-sent fuck?

like? no one invited you, please leave 

so he gets sent to a tutoring session by the school, because colleges say they don’t want him if he’s failing fucking chemistry

which jisung? calls bullshit on

and there he meets you,

also a student who thinks chemistry is the devil,,,,you’re just as bad as he is -- literally. everything you guys get wrong, the other gets wrong

its like bad telepathy

and you both are assigned to mark, jisungs friends lmao

but since he’s always busy, he sometimes has to cancel tutoring sessions because he has other things (even though jisung claims he cancels because he’s too busy smooching his girlfriend,,,,,ew)

so you and jisung meet up and study together twice a week, and it actually works,,,,you both go from a 67 to a 81 and that’s the best ya’ll could do and trust me the teachers AREN’T complaining

and during the last studying session, jisung is kind of :\ since you both get along so well and he felt comfortable with you

he asks why you got tutoring in the first place, and your answer surprises him

“ because i dance and well,,,,,my parents said i couldn’t keep dancing if i didn’t bring up my grades so”

and from there on out, you guys moved from studying sessions to dance sessions instead,,,,,and its always just the two of you hanging out at jisung’s and dancing and or chilling

they become like,,,,,dates,,,,,

and so you two at some point just,,,,,tell each other how you feel because of the sheet amount of time you spend with each other, and it feels,,,,natural

he isn’t very affectionate and neither are you

most times you two just lay on opposite sides of the couch and talk about deep thoughts and hold hands uwu

your kisses are only short small pecks because both of you are too shy to add force

you both are literally on the same brainwave, you guys share once single braincell but it’s,,,oddly enduring 

you are best friends who just love to dance, think, and kiss :)

THEY GET LONGER AS YOU GO DOWN OMF IM SO SORRY I GOT REALLY CARRIED AWAY

[unfortunatelycake]

Boueibu ship headcanons (pt1)

Was waffling over boueibu ship headcanons with @sothisiswhyiamhere a while back. Typed them up whilst procrastinating over Other Things today.

It got long, so I split it up, and I tried to do it in a vaguely logical order (by ship-name, kinda) so this first part is quite En-centric. Also just s1 main 8...

Also, I massively headcanon Yumoto as being an adorable fluffy ball of asexual awesomeness, which totally colours these shipping HCs!

(part 2 is here)

EnAtsu

The mom and dad duo. They love each other despite their faults; En is the laid back influence that Atsushi needs, whilst Atsushi is the reason En gets out of bed in the morning.

Problems arise when: En is a little too lazy and Atsushi internalises all the little annoyances without saying anything about them, and eventually explodes over something stupid.

EnIo

Polar opposites when it comes to working, but Io appreciates En's smarts. En likes to chill out at Io's place because Io doesn't expect anything of him: Io can get on with his stock trading whilst En naps, and they have their Private Time together once the markets have closed for the evening.

Problems arise when: En wants snacks and is too lazy to get them, but like hell is Io gonna be his butler, and when Io is too busy with trading to pay En any attention

EnRyuu

If Bill and Ted were gay, they would be these two. They'd probably live together, their apartment would be trendy (Ryuu's influence) but also a mess (partly En, partly because they can't be assed with tidying). They'd probably eat out a lot, so technically would go on lots of dates, but wouldn't really specifically go on dates.

Problems arise when: Ryuu wants some kind of high-octane excitement when En would rather just loaf around, and they'd likely end up arguing over Who Puts More Into The Relationship (Ryuu. The answer is Ryuu.)

EnYu

This would be a relationship filled with cuddles, and food, and not much else. If not for Gora popping by with home-cooked dishes, they'd probably live off sweets and convenience store snacks. There wouldn't be much in the way of physical intimacy because Yumoto just likes to cuddle (5ever headcanon for ace Yumoto) which is fine with En, who likes to sleep.

Problems arise when: En is too lethargic to put up with Yumoto's energy levels and Yumoto is too cheerfully oblivious and ends up being snapped at.

EnKin

Kinshiro is a man who likes peace and quiet, which suits En's desire for naptime. En would tease Kinshiro a lot, though not unkindly, which would gradually pry open the closed box that is Kinshiro. Kinshiro in turn would encourage more of the responsibility that he knows En is capable of.

Problems arise when: Kinshirou gets too uptight and internalises everything that annoys him, but (unlike Atsushi, who would eventually explode) doesn't say anything. Just keeps internalising. Also when En pushes the teasing too far.

EnIbu

A lazy dude and his polite and well-bred butler, who is used to being around livelier guys and therefore glad of the rest, thank you very much. En would enjoy being fussed over because Ibushi fixes refreshments pretty much automatically, and Ibushi totally enjoys sitting around grumbling about things with En. Their sex life is pretty satisfying, though there are the occasional noise complaints from the neighbours.

Problems arise when: En gets into one of his 100% Lethargic moods and doesn't even want to move. Also when Ibushi gets snarky over people En cares about. It's funny, and it's true, but they're En's buddies, so back off.

EnAko

Less of a relationship and more a fling based on little more than physical pleasure. Akoya is a total power bottom, and En likes it when he isn't expected to know what to do. At the same time, they both get a kick out of it on the rare occasion that En takes charge, at which point Akoya meekly plays along.

Problems arise when: En proves himself incapable of staying tidy for more than five minutes. They try to date, and Akoya knows damn well that En could look hot if he made the effort, but En is too set in his ways. Likewise, En doesn't know why Akoya is so obsessed with looking 'perfect' all the time, and thinks he looks great when he's all red-faced and dishevelled. Ultimately they drive each other insane and end up unable to stay in the same room without snarking at each other (which sometimes leads to an impromptu fumble in the nearest closet).

AtsuIo

A pair of serious guys who are low-key bitchy, they have a bit of a mom-and-rich-toyboy kind of rapport. Atsushi makes sure Io eats lots of tasty things, and Io manages to budget their groceries in a way that gives Atsushi leeway to do a lot of experimentation in the kitchen. Probably one of the most normal relationships ever.

Problems arise when: they both fail at communicating their needs, Atsushi being too considerate and Io being too introverted to do that Talking Thing.  

AtsuRyuu

Ryuu would take the lead despite being the younger of the pair, and would spend a lot of time flirting because he loves seeing Atsushi blush. He'd encourage Atsushi to throw caution to the wind every so often, whilst Atsushi would be the one to show Ryuu that it's important to knuckle down and do some serious work from time to time. Ryuu would rather have fun, but Atsushi knows exactly how to bend Ryuu to his will and therefore offers 'rewards' if Ryuu gets on with the boring stuff like chores and paying bills. They go on lots of little dates, though would go on lots more of Atsushi wasn't so worried about his everyday responsibilities.

Problems arise when: Ryuu can't curb his habit of flirting with everyone. It makes Atsushi insecure, and nothing Ryuu says can entirely reassure him that Ryuu won't cheat.

AtsuYu

More cuddling! Yumoto would be crazy for Atsushi's food, and Atsushi would love cooking it for him, happy that it was so well appreciated. Though Atsushi is a serious soul, Yumoto would encourage him to be more spontaneous and chill out a bit.

Problems arise when: They realise that beyond cuddles and a few sloppy kisses, their relationship isn't going to progress into anything deeper. Yumoto wants Atsushi to be happy, but won't compromise the ace wonder that he is in order to do that, especially after they make a half-hearted try that just...doesn't go anywhere. They decide that they're better off as friends, but are a lot closer than before.

AtsuIbu

These two would probably get together due to their mutual protectiveness of Kinshiro. They're a real pair of sinnamon rolls: an outwardly polite yet snarky couple who are absolutely savage in their judgements. They bring out the best and the worst in each other; Ibushi encourages Atsushi's snarkiness and fully enjoys being treated as an equal (for a change). Atsushi meanwhile dotes on Ibushi and likes how much Ibushi appreciates being spoilt. Though Atsushi is normally in charge of food, Ibushi likes to bring him tea and treats, and they sometimes cook together. In bed, Atsushi finally finds his chill and lets Ibushi take control.

Problems arise when: They both have a 'tired-of-waiting-on-people' day on the same day. Also when their affectionate snark at each other cuts a little too deep.

AtsuAko

A total will-they-won't-they affair that takes a while to get off the ground. After some rather passive flirting, they'd get together after Akoya gets tired of The Chase, and questions (whilst draping himself over Atsushi's desk) "So are you going to ask me out or not?" Atsushi would be too surprised to have a comeback, and his stuttered 'Yes' would lead to them going on a date, probably in an uncomfortably expensive restaurant because Akoya would expect no less.

Problems arise when: they go on their first date, because Atsushi spends an entire month's allowance on one course, and Akoya isn't amenable to any of his suggestions that cost nothing. Also when Akoya Wants Attention but Atsushi is spending time with his friends.

IoRyuu

Romantic, adventurous, stylish, attractive, rich and stable: Io and Ryuu are two complimentary halves of the Ideal Boyfriend. Ryuu's energy is just at the right level for Io: enough to excite and motivate him into being spontaneous, but not so much that Ryuu becomes overbearing. Io meanwhile gives Ryuu the stability he craves: a constant boyfriend who cares about him for his playfulness and his personality, not just his looks. They joke about Io being Ryuu's sugar daddy, but Ryuu doesn't care about Io's money, he cares about Io himself. They both admire and respect each other a lot for their opposing skills, and over time learn a little of them from each other.

Problems arise when: They argue over who is more awesome. It's one point they can never agree on, and it takes the combined efforts of the Defence Club and the Student Council (who will have peace in their school kthx) to get them to make up.

IoYu

Yumoto would get Io to take a break from his trading now and then, whilst Io would probably get tired of Yumoto having no money, and do something to turn his 500 yen pocket money into 500,000 yen in a Cayman Islands bank account, purely because he's concerned about Yumoto is going to do in future if he has no money behind him. Yumoto would thank him with a million cuddles, though would likely not understand half of what Io had just told him, only the fact that he has more money now. Somewhere.

Problems arise when: Yumoto becomes too overbearing with his cuddling when Io is trying to work, and Io is too cold towards Yumoto because he's waiting for the perfect moment to snap up some bargain price shares.

IoKin

A relationship that seems like an arranged marriage at first--beginning as a mere business alliance formed for mutual profit (Kinshiro's contacts and Io's financial savviness equal one hell of a profit). But their respect of each other's work ethic goes deeper, and through working side by side they find they actually like each other. They're a quiet couple and fairly inactive on the dating front, as they both work hard, but they're also both competitive so their sundays (when the offices and FX are closed) usually begin with an intense game of squash, or a jog around a park that becomes more like a race. This lifestyle suits them both, as they can stay fit and healthy whilst keeping up with work. Affection and intimacy tend to happen as a second thought; neither are particularly displeased by it, but their emotional distance does make the occasional moment of romance feel extra special

Problems arise when: they're both too busy working to actually pay attention to each other, and when they clash over decisions--both want to be in control.

IoIbu

A rich man and his eye-candy butler. Ibushi is eager to please the people he cares for, and Io takes as much advantage of that as possible. However, Ibushi knows where to draw the line, and will make Io work for his favours (be they sexual or otherwise) if he feels Io isn't giving back as much as he's taking. In general, Ibushi is content to leave Io to his stocks, but is capable of peeling him away from the screen now and again for some aforementioned 'favours'. Io has lost a few good deals that way, but Ibushi has always made it more than worth it.

Problems arise when: Ibushi walks around shirtless and distracts Io, leading to Io missing out on some trading. This usually happens with Io has been too sidetracked to pay Ibushi much attention, and has been treating him more like a butler than a boyfriend.
