The warm breeze of a late spring afternoon drifts through the open windows of the Stark home, carrying the scent of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass. You’re in the kitchen, cutting up fruit for the twins’ snack, while Tony tinkers with a small project at the counter—a habit he claims is "relaxation." Estelle toddles around the room, clutching her unicorn toy and babbling happily, her words a mix of toddler nonsense and surprising clarity.

In the midst of the gentle chaos, the sound of footsteps descending the stairs draws your attention. When you look up, your jaw nearly drops.

Cora stands in the doorway, dressed in a pale lavender sundress with delicate straps that rest on her shoulders. Her dark hair is pinned back in a loose bun, with a few strands falling artfully around her face. She’s wearing a touch of makeup, just enough to highlight her features, and there’s a faint blush on her cheeks that’s definitely not from cosmetics.

“Wow,” you say, setting down the knife and leaning against the counter. “Look at you.”

Cora fidgets, smoothing the skirt of her dress. “Is it…too much?”

“It’s perfect,” you assure her, smiling warmly.

Tony, who has been completely absorbed in his work, glances up at your words. The second he sees Cora, he freezes, his wrench clattering onto the countertop.

“Who are you, and what have you done with my daughter?” he demands, his voice tinged with both awe and confusion.

Cora groans, crossing her arms. “Dad, don’t start.”

“I’m not starting anything,” Tony says, standing and gesturing toward her outfit. “I’m just—since when do you wear dresses? I thought dresses were the enemy. Like, you’ve had an anti-dress campaign going since you were five.”

Cora shrugs, a shy smile tugging at her lips. “I don’t know. Being with Ryan just…makes me feel different. Like, it’s okay to try stuff like this.”

Tony’s mouth opens, then closes. He looks at you, as if searching for confirmation that the world hasn’t completely turned upside down. You give him a subtle nod, and he sighs, running a hand through his hair.

“Okay,” he says, turning back to Cora. “You look…nice. But—”

“Here we go,” Cora mutters, bracing herself.

“—but,” Tony continues, holding up a finger, “if you’re going out dressed like that, you need to be prepared. Do you have a jacket? Because it’s going to get chilly later. And what about shoes? Those sandals don’t look like they’re great for walking. Also—”

“Tony,” you interject, placing a hand on his arm. “Let her breathe.”

“I’m just saying,” he protests, ignoring you and turning back to Cora, “you should text us when you get there. And when you leave. And if anything feels off—”

“I know, I know,” Cora interrupts, rolling her eyes but smiling despite herself. “I’ve got it, Dad. You don’t have to give me the full lecture.”

“Of course I do,” Tony says, crossing his arms. “It’s my job. That’s in the Dad Manual, chapter one.”

“Pretty sure the manual says not to embarrass your daughter,” Cora quips, grabbing her small purse from the counter.

Tony pretends to gasp, clutching his chest dramatically. “Embarrass? Me? I’m the cool dad!”

You chuckle, shaking your head. “You’re something, that’s for sure.”

Just then, the sound of a car pulling up in the driveway makes Cora straighten, her nerves evident in the way she fiddles with the strap of her purse. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself.

“That’s him,” she says, heading toward the door.

“Hold on,” Tony says, stepping forward. “I’ll get it.”

“No!” Cora blurts out, spinning around and blocking his path. “I mean, no, thanks. I’ll…I’ll handle it.”

Tony looks deeply offended. “Why can’t I meet him? I should meet him. He’s taking my daughter out!”

“Tony,” you say, stepping in before he can escalate. “Let her go.”

He turns to you, incredulous. “Let her go? Just like that? We don’t even know this kid. What if he—”

“Tony,” you say again, placing a firm hand on his chest. “Not yet. Let’s wait a little longer, see how things go. She’ll tell us when it’s time.”

Cora shoots you a grateful look before slipping out the door, shutting it quickly behind her. Through the window, you see her walking toward Ryan’s car, her movements a mix of confidence and nerves.

Tony stands frozen, staring at the closed door like it’s betrayed him.

“Unbelievable,” he mutters, sinking into a chair. “She didn’t even let me say hi.”

“You’ll meet him,” you assure him, sitting beside him and resting a hand on his knee. “When she’s ready.”

Tony huffs, leaning back in his chair. “What’s so special about this kid anyway?”

You smile, watching as Cora climbs into the car and waves goodbye through the window. “He makes her happy. Isn’t that enough?”

Tony grumbles something unintelligible but doesn’t argue further. Instead, he reaches for Estelle, who has wandered over with her unicorn in tow. She climbs into his lap, resting her head against his chest, and Tony sighs, wrapping his arms around her.

“At least you’re not going on any dates,” he says, his voice soft.

“Corn date!” Estelle chirps, pointing to her toy.

Tony chuckles, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “Close enough.”

You lean into him, smiling as you watch the car disappear down the street. Despite his bluster, you know Tony will come around eventually. For now, though, you’re content to let him be the protective dad he’s always been—and the one Cora will always need, even if she doesn’t always admit it.

Dinner in the Stark household is usually a lively affair. The twins, Alex and Howard, are never short on energy or arguments, and Estelle has recently developed the habit of throwing pieces of food just to watch everyone scramble to pick them up. Tonight, however, the mood is slightly different. The absence of Cora, who is out on her date, has shifted the usual dynamic in a way the younger kids are starting to notice.

You and Tony exchange a glance as the boys settle into their seats at the dining table. Estelle, strapped into her high chair, babbles happily, banging her sippy cup against the tray. The smell of roasted chicken and mashed potatoes fills the air, but it seems the usual buzz of conversation is slow to start.

Alex takes a bite of his roll, looking around the table before finally asking, “Where’s Cora?”

Howard, sitting across from him, pauses with his fork halfway to his mouth. “Yeah, where is she? She’s always here for dinner.”

You open your mouth to answer, but Tony beats you to it. “Cora’s…uh, she’s out tonight.”

Howard frowns. “Out where?”

“She went to hang out with a friend,” you say gently, trying to gauge how much detail to give. The boys share a look, and you can see their wheels turning.

“A friend?” Alex repeats, suspicion lacing his voice. “What kind of friend? Like, a boyfriend friend?”

Tony visibly tenses, his grip tightening on his fork. “Who said anything about a boyfriend?” he asks a little too quickly, his tone defensive. “She’s just…hanging out.”

“Wait,” Howard says, eyes wide. “Does that mean she left us?”

You blink, startled. “No, of course not. She’s just out for a little while—”

But Howard doesn’t let you finish. His lower lip trembles, and he looks at Alex with a mix of confusion and panic. “Cora left! She’s not coming back!”

Alex gasps, dropping his roll onto his plate. “She left? Why would she do that? I thought she liked us!”

Tony sets his fork down and leans forward, trying to interject. “Guys, she didn’t leave. She’s just out—”

But the twins are already spiraling, their imaginations running wild. Alex’s face crumples, and he bursts into tears, burying his face in his hands. Howard follows suit, his sobs loud and dramatic. “She’s gone forever!” he wails, his voice breaking.

As if on cue, Estelle, who’s been watching the scene unfold with wide eyes, begins to cry as well. Her little face scrunches up, and she lets out a piercing wail, though you’re certain she has no idea what’s actually going on. She just knows her brothers are upset, and that’s enough to set her off.

You and Tony exchange a look of mild panic before springing into action. You reach for Estelle, unstrapping her from the high chair and pulling her into your arms. Tony gets up and crouches between the twins, one hand on each of their shoulders.

“Hey, hey, listen to me,” Tony says, his voice firm but kind. “Cora didn’t leave. She’s coming back. She’ll be home in a little while, okay?”

“But why isn’t she here now?” Alex sniffles, his face streaked with tears. “She’s always here!”

“She’s with a friend,” you explain again, bouncing Estelle on your hip to soothe her. “That’s all. She’ll be back later, I promise.”

Howard wipes his nose on his sleeve, still sniffling. “But what if she doesn’t come back?”

“She will,” Tony insists, his tone leaving no room for doubt. “Cora loves you guys. She’d never leave for good. Right, sweetheart?” He glances up at you for backup.

“Absolutely,” you say, brushing a hand through Estelle’s curls as her cries begin to taper off. “She’s just spending a little time with someone, but this is her home. She’ll always come back to us.”

Alex hiccups, his sobs slowing. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure,” you say, leaning down to kiss the top of his head. “You’ll see her in the morning, and she’ll be the same Cora you know and love.”

Tony nods in agreement. “And she’ll probably complain about how annoying you guys are, just like she always does.”

That earns a small giggle from Alex, and Howard cracks a hesitant smile. Tony grins, ruffling their hair. “See? Everything’s fine.”

Estelle, still sniffling in your arms, mumbles something through her tears. “Cowa no go?”

“That’s right, baby,” you say softly, kissing her cheek. “Cora’s not going anywhere.”

The room slowly settles as the boys wipe their tears and Estelle leans her head against your shoulder, her little fingers gripping your shirt. Tony takes a seat again, shaking his head with a wry smile.

“Well,” he says, glancing at you, “that escalated quickly.”

“You think?” you reply, raising an eyebrow. “Maybe next time we should explain things before they jump to conclusions.”

“Good idea,” Tony agrees, reaching for his glass of water. “But hey, look at it this way—at least we know how much they love their sister.”

You laugh softly, setting Estelle back in her high chair now that she’s calmed down. “True. That was some pretty dramatic devotion.”

As the boys start eating again, their moods visibly improved, you and Tony exchange a quiet smile. It’s moments like these, chaotic as they are, that remind you just how close-knit your family is. Even when things get a little messy, the love you all share is undeniable—and that’s what matters most.

After the earlier chaos, dinner finally returns to something resembling normal, though the boys keep glancing toward the door like Cora might magically appear at any moment. Estelle is still glued to Tony’s chest, her little hands clutching at his shirt as he leans back in his chair. Despite her determination to stay awake, her eyes are fluttering shut, and every now and then she lets out a sleepy little hum.

Alex and Howard, however, are not going down so easily.

“What time is she coming back?” Alex asks for the tenth time, his voice laced with dramatic urgency.

“Her curfew is 10:30,” you remind him gently, nudging his plate of half-finished food toward him. “That’s still a couple of hours away.”

“But I wanna see her,” Howard says, stifling a yawn behind his hand. “What if she needs us?”

Tony raises an eyebrow. “What exactly is she going to need you for? Backup? Emotional support?”

“Maybe!” Alex retorts, glaring at him. “We’re her brothers! That’s our job!”

You snort, trying to hide your smile behind a sip of water. “That’s very sweet, but Cora is perfectly fine. You can see her in the morning.”

“No!” Alex says, shaking his head. “We’re staying up!”

“Yeah,” Howard agrees, crossing his arms. “We’ll wait for her!”

Tony sighs, rubbing a hand down his face. “Guys, listen. Staying up past your bedtime isn’t going to make her come home any faster. Plus, you’re already half-asleep.”

“No, we’re not!” Alex insists, his eyes drooping even as he speaks.

Estelle, as if sensing the conversation, stirs against Tony’s chest and mumbles, “Cowa?”

Tony looks down at her and grins. “No, kiddo, Cora’s not back yet. But let me tell you something—you’re not dating anyone until you’re thirty.”

“Thir-tee,” Estelle repeats in her toddler voice, her head bobbing as if she understands completely.

“Exactly,” Tony says, giving you a pointed look. “See? She agrees.”

You laugh softly, shaking your head. “You’re ridiculous.”

“It’s called being a responsible father,” he replies, pressing a kiss to Estelle’s curls. “And she’s got a strict no-boys-until-30 policy. Cora’s lucky I let her out of the house at all.”

“Tony,” you warn, though you’re smiling. “Let’s not scare the boys into thinking dating is a crime.”

“It’s not a crime,” he says dramatically. “It’s a privilege.”

The twins, who have been watching this exchange with growing amusement, giggle at their dad’s antics. Even Estelle lets out a soft little laugh, though it quickly turns into a sleepy sigh as she snuggles closer.

Time ticks by slowly as the boys fight to keep their eyes open. You’re certain they’re on the verge of passing out when the familiar sound of the front door unlocking makes everyone sit up straight.

“She’s back!” Alex shouts, scrambling off his chair.

Howard follows suit, practically tripping over his own feet in his rush to reach the door. Even Estelle perks up, her tiny hands clutching Tony’s collar as she twists around to look.

“Cora!” Alex and Howard yell in unison, flinging the door open just as Cora steps inside. She barely has time to hang up her jacket before the twins tackle her in a bear hug.

“Whoa, whoa!” Cora laughs, stumbling back a step. “What’s going on?”

“We thought you left us!” Alex wails, clinging to her.

“Forever!” Howard adds, his voice muffled against her sweater.

Cora blinks, clearly taken aback. “What? Why would you think that?”

“They thought you weren’t coming back because you were out late,” you explain, leaning against the doorway with a smile. “We told them you’d be back, but they’ve been in full-on drama mode all night.”

“Aww,” Cora says, crouching down to hug the boys properly. “I’d never leave you guys. You know that, right?”

Alex sniffles, nodding, while Howard wipes his nose on his sleeve.

“Okay,” Cora says, pulling back and ruffling their hair. “Now go to bed, you little maniacs. You’re supposed to be asleep by now.”

“No!” Alex protests, though his voice lacks conviction.

“Yes,” you say firmly, stepping forward to herd them toward the stairs. “You’ve stayed up long enough. Cora will still be here in the morning, I promise.”

“But—” Howard starts to argue, only to be cut off by a pointed look from you. He huffs but doesn’t resist as you guide them upstairs, Tony following with Estelle still clinging to him like a koala.

By the time the boys are settled and Estelle is tucked into her crib, you and Tony make your way back downstairs to find Cora sprawled on the couch, scrolling through her phone.

“So,” Tony says, dropping onto the armchair across from her. “How was it?”

Cora glances up, her cheeks flushing slightly. “It was fine.”

“Fine?” Tony echoes, raising an eyebrow. “You’re going to need to be more specific than that.”

“Dad,” she groans, rolling her eyes.

“Come on,” you say, sitting beside her and nudging her gently. “We want details. Where did you go? What did you do?”

Cora hesitates for a moment before sighing and setting her phone aside. “Okay, fine. We went to that little Italian place downtown—you know, the one with the string lights in the back? It was really nice. And then we walked around for a bit, just talking.”

“Talking about what?” Tony asks, leaning forward like he’s interrogating a witness.

“Stuff,” Cora says vaguely.

“Stuff?” Tony repeats, unimpressed.

You shoot him a look. “Tony.”

“What? I’m just asking.”

Cora smirks, clearly enjoying her dad’s frustration. “Okay, we talked about school, movies, music—normal things. And he was really sweet, okay? He held the door for me, pulled out my chair, all that stuff.”

Tony narrows his eyes. “Did he try anything?”

“Dad!” Cora exclaims, her face turning red. “No! He’s not like that.”

“I’m just checking,” Tony says, holding up his hands defensively. “It’s my job to ask these things.”

Cora groans, burying her face in her hands. “Why do I even tell you anything?”

“Because you love us,” you say with a smile, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “And we love you, even if your dad is a little overbearing.”

“A little?” Cora mutters, though there’s a small smile tugging at her lips.

Tony grins, leaning back in his chair. “Fine, fine. I’ll back off—for now. But if this Ryan kid hurts you, I’m not holding back.”

Cora laughs, shaking her head. “Noted.”

As the conversation drifts into lighter topics, you can’t help but feel a sense of pride. Watching Cora grow into her own person, even with all the ups and downs, is one of the most rewarding parts of being her parent. And while Tony might never stop being the protective dad, you know he feels the same way.

The private beach in Miami is the perfect summer retreat, with golden sands, turquoise waters, and plenty of shade from tall palms. It’s the kind of luxurious getaway only Tony Stark could casually arrange for his family. The kids are in paradise—Estelle’s tiny footprints dot the sand near the shallow water, Alex and Howard are waging an epic sandcastle-building contest, and Cora, well…Cora’s been on her phone more than in the water.

It doesn’t go unnoticed.

“Cora, come help us dig this moat!” Alex calls, waving a plastic shovel in her direction.

She looks up from her lounge chair, sunglasses perched on her head. “I told you guys, I’m not a fan of sand.”

“You used to like sand,” Howard points out, narrowing his eyes.

“Yeah, when I was, like, seven,” Cora replies with a grin. “I’ll cheer you on from here.”

The twins share a look of disappointment but seem to accept her answer—for now. You, seated under an umbrella with Estelle perched on your lap, can’t help but notice the wistful looks they shoot at their sister every so often. They’re trying not to show it, but they miss her being their partner-in-crime.

Tony strolls over with a fresh drink in hand, surveying the scene with a satisfied grin. “Not bad, huh? Sun, sand, and no paparazzi. Perfect family vacation.”

“Perfect except for the fact that Cora’s more interested in her phone than her brothers,” you tease, nudging him with your elbow.

“Teenagers,” Tony says with an exaggerated sigh. “What can you do?”

You’re about to reply when Cora stands up suddenly, slipping her phone into her bag. “I’m gonna go for a walk,” she announces casually.

“A walk?” Tony asks, raising an eyebrow. “Since when do you just…walk?”

“Since I feel like it,” she replies, grabbing her sandals and brushing off her shorts. “Don’t worry, I’ll stay close.”

“Uh-huh,” Tony mutters, clearly suspicious, but he lets it go as she wanders down the beach.

The twins, however, aren’t so easily distracted. They watch her closely, their expressions growing more curious—and then downright alarmed—as they see her stop several yards away to talk to someone.

“Is that…?” Alex starts, squinting.

“It’s a boy,” Howard says, his voice filled with betrayal.

You sigh, already guessing who it is. “It’s probably Ryan,” you say, pulling out your phone to send Cora a quick text.

Cora, bring Ryan over to meet us. Don’t make me come over there.

She reads the text immediately—you can tell because she whips around to look at you, her face a mix of disbelief and irritation. You wave at her with a cheerful smile, and she groans audibly, even from that distance.

A few moments later, she trudges back with Ryan in tow, her shoulders hunched as if she’s preparing for the worst. Ryan, to his credit, looks polite but a little nervous, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his swim trunks.

“Everyone, this is Ryan,” Cora says quickly, gesturing toward him. “Ryan, this is…well, everyone.”

“Hi,” Ryan says, offering a small wave.

Tony doesn’t even try to hide his once-over, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Ryan,” he repeats slowly. “You’re the guy my daughter’s been sneaking off to see all summer.”

“Dad!” Cora hisses, her face turning bright red.

“What? Just making an observation,” Tony says innocently, though his gaze doesn’t leave Ryan.

You elbow him lightly. “Tony.”

“I’m just getting a read on the guy!” he protests, holding up his hands.

Ryan shifts awkwardly, clearly unsure how to respond. Before anyone can say anything else, the twins barrel toward him, their faces a mix of curiosity and distrust.

“You’re Ryan?” Alex asks, crossing his arms.

“You’re the reason Cora doesn’t hang out with us anymore?” Howard adds, his tone accusatory.

“Guys,” you say sharply, shooting them a warning look.

“It’s okay,” Ryan says, surprising you. He crouches slightly to meet the twins’ level, giving them a small smile. “I get it. You’re mad because you miss your sister, right?”

The boys exchange a glance, clearly caught off guard by his straightforwardness.

“Well…yeah,” Alex admits reluctantly.

“She’s pretty cool,” Ryan says, glancing at Cora, who looks like she wants to disappear into the sand. “I’d miss her too if she stopped hanging out with me.”

Howard narrows his eyes. “Are you just saying that because you like her?”

“Maybe,” Ryan replies with a grin.

Tony lets out a loud cough that sounds suspiciously like “too smooth,” and you quickly step in to diffuse the tension.

“Okay, let’s give Ryan a break,” you say, placing a hand on Howard’s shoulder. “Why don’t you guys go finish your sandcastle? I bet Ryan will come check it out when you’re done.”

The twins consider this for a moment before nodding and running off, already bickering about who’s in charge of the design.

“Thank you,” Cora mutters to you, her voice barely audible.

“Don’t thank me yet,” you whisper back, glancing at Tony, who’s watching Ryan like a hawk.

“So, Ryan,” Tony says, crossing his arms. “What do you do for fun? Besides stealing my daughter’s attention, of course.”

“Tony,” you warn, giving him a pointed look.

Ryan, to his credit, doesn’t seem fazed. “I play basketball, and I’m on the robotics team at school,” he says.

“Robotics, huh?” Tony says, his interest piqued despite himself. “What kind of projects are you working on?”

Cora groans. “Oh my God, please don’t turn this into a Stark Tech interview.”

“It’s not an interview!” Tony protests, though he does seem a little smug. “Just a casual conversation.”

As Tony and Ryan dive into a surprisingly technical discussion about robotics, you notice Estelle wandering dangerously close to the water without her floater.

“Estelle!” you call, rushing over to scoop her up before she can get too far.

“Swim!” she protests, squirming in your arms.

“Not without your floaties,” you say firmly, carrying her back to the umbrella.

By the time you return, Tony has managed to shift the conversation to Ryan’s plans for the future, and Cora is glaring daggers at him.

“Dad, seriously, can you chill?” she says.

“I’m just making sure the kid has a plan,” Tony says with a shrug.

You roll your eyes, setting Estelle down with her toys. “Tony, why don’t you let Ryan breathe for a minute? You’ve already grilled him enough for one day.”

Ryan gives you a grateful look, and Cora mouths a silent “thank you” as well.

Despite the chaos, the afternoon ends on a surprisingly pleasant note. The twins begrudgingly admit that Ryan isn’t that bad, Estelle decides he’s fun enough to share her toys with, and even Tony seems to soften a little—though he’s still keeping a close eye on him.

As you pack up to head back to the house, Cora pulls you aside and hugs you tightly. “Thanks for not letting Dad scare him off,” she whispers.

“Anytime,” you reply with a smile. “But you owe me one.”

She laughs, and for a moment, you catch a glimpse of the little girl she used to be—before boys and dates and teenage independence came into the picture.

One sunny afternoon, a few months after the beach encounter, Cora sits you and Tony down in the living room. She’s practically vibrating with excitement, her cheeks glowing, and a smile that she can’t contain. The twins are peeking from the doorway, their curiosity barely hidden, and Estelle is perched on Tony’s lap, lazily playing with a strand of his hair.

“Okay, so…” Cora starts, tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear. “I have something to tell you.”

Tony raises an eyebrow, his dad-radar clearly activated. “This better not end with me needing to interrogate someone.”

“Tony,” you chide lightly, giving Cora an encouraging nod. “Go ahead, sweetheart.”

Cora takes a deep breath, then blurts out, “Ryan asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes!”

The room goes quiet for a beat, the weight of the announcement settling over everyone. Then Tony sits up straighter, his expression unreadable.

“Girlfriend, huh?” he says, his voice carefully neutral. “Isn’t that…serious?”

“It’s not like we’re getting married, Dad,” Cora retorts, rolling her eyes. “But yeah, it’s serious. And I’m really happy.”

You can’t help but smile at the way her face lights up. “That’s wonderful, honey. If he makes you happy, we’re happy for you.”

“Speak for yourself,” Tony mutters, earning a light slap on the arm from you.

“Dad!” Cora protests.

“Fine, fine,” Tony relents, raising his hands in mock surrender. “I’ll hold off on the interrogation—for now. But you’d better believe there are going to be rules if this kid is coming around here.”

“Speaking of which,” Cora says, hesitating. “I was thinking…maybe we could invite him over for dinner sometime?”

Tony’s eyes narrow slightly. “Under my roof? Bold move.”

“Tony,” you say firmly. “That sounds like a great idea, Cora. But yes, there will be rules.”

“Rules?” Cora repeats, looking wary.

Tony leans back in his chair, clearly in his element. “Rule number one: the door to your room stays open at all times.”

“Dad!”

“Non-negotiable,” he says with a smirk. “Rule number two: no sitting too close on the couch. I have a very sensitive dad radar, and it will go off if I sense funny business.”

“Tony, stop,” you say, trying not to laugh.

“And rule number three,” Tony continues, ignoring you, “he’s got to pass the Stark Interview.”

“Interview?” Cora asks, her voice dripping with disbelief.

“Oh, you’ll see,” Tony says, his grin widening.

Fast forward to the big day, and the house is abuzz with activity. Cora is a bundle of nerves, alternating between fixing her hair and pacing the living room. You’re trying to keep the twins occupied with a board game, but their curiosity keeps pulling them toward the front door.

“When’s he getting here?” Alex asks for the tenth time, craning his neck toward the window.

“Soon,” you reply patiently, moving a piece on the board. “And you two are staying out of it.”

Howard frowns. “But what if he’s weird?”

“Then your dad will take care of it,” you say with a smile, glancing at Tony, who is polishing a pair of sunglasses with an unnecessary level of intensity.

When the doorbell finally rings, Cora practically flies to the door, only for Tony to intercept her.

“Hold it,” he says, putting a hand on her shoulder. “I’ll get it.”

“Dad!” she protests, but he’s already opening the door.

Ryan stands on the porch, looking slightly nervous but polite as ever. He’s holding a small bouquet of flowers, which earns him a few points in your book.

“Mr. Stark,” Ryan says, offering his hand.

Tony looks at the hand for a long moment before finally shaking it. “Ryan. Come on in.”

Ryan steps inside, and his eyes immediately land on Cora, who gives him a shy smile. Tony clears his throat loudly, drawing Ryan’s attention back to him.

“Let’s have a little chat,” Tony says, leading Ryan toward the kitchen.

“Mom!” Cora whispers urgently, turning to you.

“It’ll be fine,” you assure her, though you’re already preparing to intervene if necessary.

In the kitchen, Tony leans against the counter, arms crossed. “So, Ryan. What’s your deal?”

“My deal?” Ryan repeats, looking confused.

“You know, your intentions with my daughter, your plans for the future, your stance on pineapple on pizza—the important stuff,” Tony says, his tone deceptively casual.

“Uh, well, I really like Cora,” Ryan says earnestly. “She’s smart and funny and amazing, and I just want to make her happy.”

Tony narrows his eyes, clearly trying to detect any sign of dishonesty. “And the pizza?”

“No pineapple,” Ryan replies without hesitation.

Tony nods approvingly. “Good answer. You’re off to a decent start.”

By the time you step in to check on them, Tony seems to have relaxed—slightly.

“All right, you pass,” Tony says grudgingly. “But remember, I’m watching you.”

Ryan looks relieved as he follows you back to the living room, where Cora is waiting anxiously.

“What did he say?” she asks, looking between the two of you.

“He’s still alive, isn’t he?” Tony says, smirking.

“Dad!”

“He’s fine,” you assure her, guiding the twins toward the backyard before they can pounce on Ryan with their questions. “Why don’t you two go hang out in the den? And remember the open door rule.”

“Yes, yes, we know,” Cora says, rolling her eyes.

You spend the next couple of hours keeping the twins entertained, stopping Estelle from climbing onto every piece of furniture she can find, and keeping Tony distracted enough to prevent him from “checking in” on Cora and Ryan every five minutes.

When Ryan finally leaves, he thanks you and Tony for having him and promises to text Cora when he gets home.

After the door closes, Tony sighs and sits down on the couch. “Okay, I’ll admit it. He’s not the worst.”

“High praise,” you tease, sitting beside him.

“Don’t push it,” he says with a grin, wrapping an arm around your shoulders.

Upstairs, you hear Cora talking excitedly to someone on the phone—probably a friend, recounting the whole day. It’s clear she’s happy, and as much as Tony might grumble about it, you know he’s happy for her too.

THE LOVE LASTS SO LONG (15)

The penultimate chapter!!

series masterlist

★・・・・★・・・・ ★・・・・★

aubreyyang posted on their story

caption: back to reality

Ollie pushed her luggage to the side, his eyes tired behind a pair of blue light glasses. His hair was smushed a little from the drive over to the airport, but he looked handsome as always.

They were back in Italy, Ollie starting training again before the Canadian Grand Prix. Aubrey had to go back to New York, catch up on classes and deal with auditions and bookings.

“Don’t fall in love with some Manhattan fashion guy,” Ollie pouted, tugging her into him, cradling her head and waist.

“Don’t be dramatic, babe. I’ll see you in like, a week and a half.” She sniffed into his hoodie, but she felt her heart carving itself out of her chest and wedging into his already. Nearly two weeks with Ollie, all tanned, shirtless and happy…now back to the sweltering, bustling city without him. She wanted to cry a little. This sweet boy made her life so much more, so abundant. It felt like time, almost. She knew that he loved her, and she most definitely loved him. But he knew her and he wanted to take it slow so she wouldn’t be spooked. She adored him for it.

He must’ve felt her tense because he pressed quiet kisses into the crown of her head, smoothing her hair away from her face.

“I can’t wait to win in your home country. Promise you’ll text me when you land?” He pressed one more kiss into her temple tenderly.

“Okay, I will.”

With one more squeeze, she rubbed her eyes and entered into the terminal, waving once more at Ollie.

slide one: ollie and aubrey walking through the paddock; he is wearing a Ferrari polo and a backwards hat with jeans and sneakers, she is wearing a vintage Ferrari tank top with her dark hair loose around her shoulders. Her mini skirt is a light denim, and she has a pair of low doc Martens and scrunch white socks. A pair of sunglasses (as seen in her previous posts) pushes her hair back from her face. The picture is slightly blurry, but she is walking in front as he follows suit behind her, one hand on the small of her back. A black Prada handbag is in his hand, presumably Aubrey's.

slide two: a video of David Bearman and Aubrey Yang in the Ferrari garage as they stand side by side, both wearing red earmuffs as they stare enraptured at the screen. Someone moving boxes passes by, and David moves Aubrey behind him in a very fatherly way. She says something that makes him laugh, and he pats her shoulder as they focus back on the screen. The tags on the live TV shows David Bearman, Oliver Bearman's dad, and Aubrey Yang, Oliver Bearman's Partner.

f1wagupdate Aubrey Yang is once again seen in the paddock, this time in Montreal. She is seen with Ollie Bearman's father and Ollie before and during the race.

Note

gonna ask 'cause this is such a specific combination of things- if you could pick one sleep token song to rec to each bts member, what would you choose (and why, if you're up for it)?

Oh my goodness, this may the best question I have ever received ever in my whole life. THANK YOU SO MUCH WOW, YOUR BRAIN AMAZES ME 💙 Sleep Token ARMYS, what a powerful combo 💜

It really is such a niche combination!! I took this SO SERIOUSLY too 💀 Let me know what you think!! Also, who's your bias? Mine's Hoseok 🥹🌈💚🌞

(Under the cut because long!)

Okay, so I chose these based off what they are usually into, and their vibes (does that make sense?). Some of them were very difficult to nail down (Hoseok and Jimin especially), but I think this is fine.

Namjoon - Take Aim / Vore / High Water

Okay, this eas actually the last one I did, but I'm putting them in oficial order. These three songs are WILDLY different, yes, and don't look very "Namjoon", sure, but! Hear me out!

Lyrically-wise, I believe Namjoon would absolutely LOVE these. The man is a poet, cmon now. These have some gorgeous lyricism and symbolism that I think he'd really appreciate. Sound-wise they are also very unique, but somehow feel like him?

Out of the 7, Joon is the one that has put out the most solo music (including collabs) and the most varied too (in comparison with Yoongi for example, who has also put out A LOT of music, but has a very distinct sound - especially under the Agust D name), so the variety in sound feels right.

Honourable mention to Give because YEAH, it feels like something straight out of Mono.

Jin - Euclid / TNDNBTG

Do you see the vision? I'm thinking about Epiphany and lowkey it fits? The piano, the kinda-hopeful-kinda-melancholic themes? There's something very angelic about it that just fits him so so well.

I actually almost went with Telomeres for him too so there's that.

Yoongi - Bloodsport / Ascensionism / Atlantic

If there's anyone who would be into Sleep Token is Yoongi. Him and Vessel are basically the same person in different fonts. But these three are the most "Yoongi-coded" to me. Gorgeous piano? Check. Interesting song changes/rap? Double check. Heartbreaking sad wet cat lyrics? Triple check. Ascensionism especially is very Agust D, don't you think?

Honourable mention to the Hey-Ya cover and Drag Me Under because those are so so Yoongi to me.

Hoseok - Granite / DYWTYLM

No because I KNOW my man would be shaking his non-existent ass to Granite (Dark Signs too actually). If there's a nice beat, he's all over it. And DYWTYLM - not only is it funky musically-speaking (which is a j-hope staple), I quite like the interpretation of Vessel singing this to himself (in a mirror).

That duality of "Smile back at me // My reflection won't smile back at me like i know it should" SCREAMS Hoseok to me (especially after Jack In The Box came out). We're so used to referring to him as the sunshine boy, and seeing him all smiles and brighter than the sun itself, when in reality there's a lot more in there. We've finally began to see more of him, and I think that inner monologue is just perfect for him.

(can you tell I'm biased? Lmaooo)

Jimin - Sugar / The Summoning

Tell me Sugar isn't such a Jimin song. Think about Lie and Filter and Muse and TELL ME Sugar isn't made for Jimin. I dare you. The Summoning too, it's a bit out of pocket but it feels right somehow? Yeah.

Taehyung - When The Bough Breaks / Aqua Regia

Here's the thing. We know Tae likes jazz, and music that is soulful, smooth, nostalgic. And both of these seem right up his alley. I believe he'd really like the Aqua Regia piano.

Jungkook - Missing Limbs / Like That

He's always been the hopeless romantic boy 🥹 All the ballads he has covered?? Yeah, I think Missing Limbs would be a nice song for him. Alternatively, Fields of Elation would be good too? Idk, something about baby Vessel's voice back then that reminds me of JK. The falsettos probably.

(I just remembered and actually - Like That is fire and it feels like something he'd like).

#I hope this makes sense to you?? it was very difficult to nail some of them down #realistically speaking I don't see anyone aside from maybe yoongles and joon getting into them BUT!#i know hoseok has some rock vibes in More and jk had his emo phase BUT. ya know.#can you imagine any of them listening to gods? or the offering? or tmbte?? that's HILARIOUS to me #sleep token #bts #<- tags that shouldn't be together but are #darya answers

Scar HC S10E12

actually welcome to Scar Says Sus Stuff

this was supposed to be me talking about my favorite parts or parts I want to share but it's just the sus parts and several things that I specifically liked

like. a rly in depth AO3 comment except with a YouTube video.

spoilers for his video

(I haven't watched most of scar's episodes so far)

-- --

1:01 "grant me access to the hole" scar. scar please. your wording. fix it. but also never change we love you but oh my god SCAR

it is actually triggering me that he's just casually on three hearts. my man PLEASE EAT

3:53 "I'm gonna wait for [Grian] inside of his mouth"

5:38 "well now Skizz and my bits are all mixed together"

6:06 "I fall for it EVERY time, by the way" -Skizz. I love Scar and Skizz, the two gullible-est people bonding over how they're gullible. It's genuinely somehow wholesome.

6:20 "something of substance was gonna come from this"

6:44 SKIZZ COME ON MAN I HAD FAITH IN YOU WHAT THE HECK

6:51 There was PASSION in this. Scar go off on them YEAH

7:33 how did I know he was gonna be one block off. rip scar you tried o7

7:40 "he didn't get inside my hole at all" SCAR.

8:17 "we could get six horns" the word horns sounds like hoards. and also kind of the other word.

8:39 (for one frame) the inside of scars face is cursed

10:17 THAT WAS SMOOTH THAT WAS SO SMOOTH IM OBSESSED??? SCAR YOURE A MAGICIAN. A WIZARD. THAT SNAP. IM OBSESSED.

but also. scar. why do you have a tnt minecart as decoration. scar I don't have high hopes for this room. scar you come from the Life series. scar. it's gonna die. someone's gonna shoot it with a flame bow I guarantee it

10:46 LMAO the way he tried to say cartographer sounds so. like. idk endearing or smth idk. Like he tried to breathe in and talk at the same time.

11:05 "I've just realized I kind of look like a composter" that is the entire clip by the way. all you out of context makers, I need that in there. idk if it'll be as funny as it is in here, because seriously, the delivery of having literally no other context other than it just being a random thought that popped into Scar's head is so funny to me

11:41 scar at the goat horn shop what will he do. I'm not mad scar. I think you're an adult who is making decisions with their fictional money. and you deserve it. you deserve that goat horn.

11:52 I lied put it back

12:44 WAIT YOURE GONNA PUT TURTLES AND DOLPHINS IN HERE THATS SICK I LOVE IT

in seventh grade we did an essay on whether zoos are good or bad and while I do love scars character in this I literally cannot stop thinking about it :(

13:15 SCAR THAT WAS TOO SMOOTH I--OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THATS SUCH A COOL TRANSITION AND ALSO THE SOUND EFFECT OH MY GODSSSSS

ALSO YOU SWIRLED TO SUCH A COOL NEW THING WHAT THE HECK WOW LIKE OKAY

wait oh my god it's a sink?? the water and lava?? oh my god??

14:55 damn Gem and Grian's spike has grown

15:35 scar I don't think you remember where your stuff is in the first place. at least like this it'll look cool. although the underground weird chest monster has character and I actually kinda like it in the same way that I like when my floor is a mess because it just feels inhabited and has personality

15:58 oh my god scar you transition god

16:33 scar why are you there

16:35 Etho I appreciate you LMAO

17:19 Etho have you seen Skizz's storage. it's. bad. like. it is worse than Scar's. Genuinely. It gives me pain.

17:25 THE PEARL DOORS. THE BOATEM PEARL DOORRSSSS also scar going through the middle even tho Etho literally opened the other door for him LMAO

17:32 ah yes dig when there is an entrance yes yes

17:43 honey roofs. I see you're obsessed with Joel's gift mr. slab.

this scene is actually amazing. I've never seen Etho and scar interact 1 on 1 (I don't watch a lot of Scar, and I have watched Etho a total of approximately once. his videos are rly long) and also just. Etho's system is so cool.

also Etho's storage system is adorable :D

I like both storage systems. Etho's is significantly more functional (and less likely to explode, scar that minecart is making me wary) but I really enjoy the aesthetic of Scar's.

thank you for coming to Royal says stuff, go watch scar's video, it's great.

oKaY listen! Jegulus is my OTP and I LOVE me some Bartylus too, but REGULUS & PANDORA 🥹🥹🥹

My babies!!!

Just that they understand each other in a way nobody else can and and and AHHH

1. Okay first of all: SHIP NAMES

Their most common one is Regdora which - kinda boring? Like it’s not bad, but when we have names like STARCHASER or NOBLEFLOWER or FLOWERPOT for other ships that just won’t do. Therefore my suggestion:

Stargazer

Because Star - Regulus (no explanation needed) and like gazer as kind of a synonym for seer?? Alternatively I have Starseer or Waterbox (Water for Reggie like in Moonwater + Pandoras Box yk), but Stargazer just sounds so Stargazer.

2. I OBVIOUSLY love them as an „Arranged Marriage I don’t want AT ALL (why are there butterflies in my stomache??) trope“, BUT also as the „we are queer best friends and jealous of each others partners, but idk why” trope!!

Also how many AMAZING Dynamics they have??

- Grumpy x Sunshine

- I hate everyone, but you and you love everyone, but you love me the most

- Soulmates

- Best Friends to Lovers

- ENEMIES TO LOVERS (Arranged marriage trope)

3. The DENIAL the both of them would have (especially when they are both seers) like:

„I saw a prophecy that showed me and Reggie in a Cottage with a child that could be related to us - MUST BE BECAUSE HES THE GODFATHER“

„Had a Dream abt Panda standing in front of me in a wedding gown - GOOD TO KNOW IM GONNA BE HER BEST MAN“

DO YOU GET WHAT I MEAN??🥹

or the Arranged Marriage Trope??

„Dream Abt making out against a door with Regulus - HOW WEIRD”

“Wow Pandora looks like a goddess in that dress, her glare makes me feel fuzzy and I want to smooth the frown on her forehead with my fingers while she looks up at me - IVE GOTTA REALLY LIKE THAT DRESS TO THINK LIKE THAT”

4. Once they ACTUALLY start dating they would literally be inseparable. They would cuddle and kiss and talk 24/7! Even their me-time they both need turns into us-time and is just as effective. They would start to panic if they don’t see each other for more than a DAY. Also their dates would be sooo cute!! No matter whether it would be the cozy queer cafe around the corner or the flashy pureblood dance balls. They would have such a comfy aura and nobody would mind their pda cause they would be so comfortable with each other.

Sometimes they would just spend a day in absolute silence but a COZY COMFY DOMESTIC ONE yk???

Also the “I hate physical touch except for when it’s you” trope!!

5. Just then going to a pride parade together with matching outfits in like their 30s, already married and a bi flag on Reggie’s cheeks and a Pan one on Dora’s and they would be so PROUD.

Or just the courting process in the arranged marriage trope PEAK!!

6. They are love. They are soulmates. They are Stargazer (or Waterbox still unsure bout that one)

This got WAY longer than I originally intended but oh well :)

REGDORA!!! FAIRYSEEKER!!! MY LOVES <33333

you don't understand how much I adore them. I love love love them. they're my everything's <3 my hunnies <3 my sweet little babies <3

okay so, 1. I actually don't mind the name regdora, but yes, it's blant and ugly compared to everything else. personally, I know them as fairyseeker, which is what you can find them under on my blog lmao. stargazer is a GORGEOUS ship name... though I think of regularly every time I hear it lmao

i LOVE the name waterbox. idk why I just adore it

2. yesssssssss!!! istg they have the best troupes (next to bartylily). them as arranged marriage partners sounds so fun. imagine they're just kids when they first meet, and they're told they're supposed to get married when they grow up to combine the rosiers/lestranges

at first, they don't mind (they're tiny and have no idea what being married even means). they start hogwarts, and both realise that they're into their same gender people (once again, i bring up my mtf dora + ftm reg). so both spend a lot of time just convinced they aren't into each other. reg is a lesbian after all, and pandora is gay... then they come out as trans and both are like: oh-

3. grumpy x sunshine is so them omfg

them bith as seers???? Christ. them being so fucking blind is just so fitting. they never even consider that they might like each other

them as oblivious little fuckers so true. they are in deep denial fr. regulus is foaming out the mouth at how pandora is, but it's completely platonic

4. HSEIBSIEBSOENSO YESS OMFG

All they need is each other. they're always together, getting one of them alone is impossible. you can try, and you will fail

that trope is SO them. it's insane

5. they would definitely love their time at a pride parade. they're having the time of their lives and they've been happier

6. I love it when asks go this long. it just sucks because I usually can't add anything on because you guys are just so correct already 😮‍💨

thank you for sharing your brain with me. I appreciate it a lot <3

#marauders #marauders era #marauders fandom #regulus black #pandora lovegood #pandora rosier #pandora lestrange #pandora lupin #regdora #fairyseeker #waterbox #swiftly brushed under the rug #wow... you're bad at parking

Wind Breaker Ep. 13 Live Reaction (typed)

✧₊⁺ the way i immediately started giggling :16 secs into the episode bc of nirei (i fear that you are making ur way up the ladder in my heart but i must humbly ask you to stop climbing) (the manga is doing this to me y’all — he’s got me sat pretty with my legs crossed and hearts in my eyes)

✧₊⁺ TSUBAKINO I AM ON THE FLOOR, PRAISING, ADMIRING — i would write poems upon poems for you my love

✧₊⁺ umemiya the man that you are …

✧₊⁺ SUO IS SO PRETTY I WANT TO GRAB HIM THROUGH THE SCREEN AND BITE HIS HEAD OFF

✧₊⁺ … he’s so tall too i love seeing him standing next to other ppl bc it just emphasizes it and i drool every time

✧₊⁺ every time i see sakura on screen i feel my resolve crumbling

✧₊⁺ please i have too many husbands rn i can’t add another

I don't know why, but I never took you for liking men in beards ( personally I like them clean shaved, but to each their own <3<3<3)!

I wish you both the best!!! 💕

Could you please give us some cute anecdotes between you two ( we don't even know each other, but I really think you're both cute together, I remember reading the post in which you talk about him and it's so cute!) ?

I just wish to have a good caring loyal romantic boyfriend and find the one! 😭😭😭 I've been single all my life.

oh well, this was unexpected but at the same time really sweet, so thank you so much anon🫶

gonna write under the cut, ‘cause I don’t want to annoy everyone (that’s also the reason why I don’t talk about him too much here)

a lot to unpack, let’s go by the order of your ask

1. The beard thing

I have to say that I used to be of the same opinion, even because when we first got together he was a BABYYYYY (we were 16 jk) and he had no beard, no hair chest, no nothing lol. But as we grew up he obviously grow into his features and if at first I was not really intrigued by it, I have to say that it does looks so nice on him (I will never admit it tho, cause I complained about it at first). Also, even if he would shave it completely, I don’t think he would be able to reach again that level of smoothness again lol. He is quite hairy in general, so it is what is, but I don’t complain, since now I definitely prefer the beard.

idk if you are referring to that post where I answered the question if I believed in true love (in that case, wow you know the LORE).

But anyway…some anecdotes mhh

he is like very smart. bro could learn literally anything and I’m glad that he sticks to the scientific/economic side of academia or he would also steal my thing lol. He is smart in an “academia term”, like, again, when it comes to learning, understanding complex concepts he is the best at it. but when it comes to the most simple stuff he becomes silly😭😭

he is so slow when he has to do certain tasks, like cooking, choosing clothes,… Or like one time, he studied computer engineering for a year before switching major btw, so he knows it all about computer, programming, software, whatever, but I discovered that he had no idea that you could select multiple pictures when deleting them in your camera roll. LIKE I KNOW IS NOT THAT SERIOUS, but it was so silly. bro could program a tracker from scratch in 30 minutes and it would take him more for deleting 50 pictures.

he is like very passionate about me. I’m his favourite person or thing to do in general and it’s not my impression, he tells me. when you ask him “what do you want to do?” he will always say “stay with you”.

brotha is clingy af. like I did know that his love language was physical touch, but he could pass an enter it’s hugging me and it would still no be enough.

he once told me that the goal of his life was to make me happy and to make me free from work, so that I can write and do the things I’m most passionate about, without having to worry about anything. THE GOAL OF HIS LIFE. apparently he also told this goal to his father.

actually very interested in philosophy, he knows more than me, he said that he would never peruse a career with it, but it’s an important hobby of his.

now. I’m not a bad person. But when I say that he has no red flag expect the fact that he is with me, I mean it. Like he gives so much and I don’t feel like I ever give enough in return, just because he is unmatchable (also mind you, this is from my pov, he would absolutely say that this isn’t true)

tells his friends how they should treat their gf and calls them out if they do bullshit.

Very kind soul.

Very silly man. Sometimes I hate how much I can’t. stop. laughing. when I am around him. Just because he doesn’t the most out of pockets jokes, but just when he is around me

Cat coded. He loves dogs, but if he was an animal he would be a cat. There has been not one time where he would lay down and ask me to scratch his back or hair.

Brotha got the most beautiful curls on this planet earth and no it’s not an exaggeration. His hair are curly, but it’s like this perfect “boccolo” form.

I said in the past and I’ll said it again, he looks like he belongs in ancient Rome. That nose. Beautiful.

He is definitely the one that suffer distance the most, when I am away on holiday he used to get so sad if I didn’t call him everyday.

He definitely would like to do me surprise, but has no clue on how to organise them. He is romantic but would like to do more, but he is like how????????? Again, struggle with simple things.

He hates his brown eyes, but to me they are the cutest, they look gold in the sunshine :,)

I am more of a nerd than him, I’m the one who drags him to anything that has to do with Star Trek, Star Wars, marvel,…and people are always a bit surprised by that

He lets me tap for hours!!!!!!!!! Because he loves to hear about my interests and he smiles while I do it😭

He is a shy dancer (not like I know how to dance too, but with a glass of wine I really start to not care)

But the only thing he is shy with me personally is speaking in English. Because my accent “scares him”. BROTHA. So if I start to talk in English he will answer “baguette”. I’m not kidding.

Very entrepreneurial type of person. He did a lot and does a lot.

Doesn’t really have a favourite artist, but his top artist on Spotify is Chopin. But he used to like a lot Elton John

He works on fixation, this month we have the ✨rubric cube✨ (he wasn’t to do it in less than a minute) and ✨biking✨

You will never know what to gift to him, because he will always answer he wants “you”🙄

He is loyal and so am I. One time a girl tried to approach him by talking about philosophy and i told him that she was flirting probably, he apologised (even if he did nothing wrong, brotha was only talking about Schopenhauer and had no idea of the girl’s intentions) and blocked her on the spot without me saying a word.

Very passionate about health in general, his and the people close to him. Fan of eating well and exercising.

my mom calls him ��Saint” because he has to deal with me. I have to say, I don’t always behave so well (YALL IM TRYING), like when he was doing the major I previously mention, he would return from uni on Fridays at 22:00, so the first thing he would do was taking the car and coming to my house. A couple of time, I didn’t even reached the door to say hello, I was to tired, but he never got mad.

He never gets mad in general. He is just a little sad when I cancel plans, I’m the only one between the two that cancels (I swear I’m good too, BUT I DONT STAND A CHANCE IN COMPARISON)

Bought me many plushies, ‘cause he knows I love them.

Will say to me multiple times in a day “you are beautiful” just beacuse I smiled

Only person in the world that told me I look better without glasses. Usually people tell me I look like an alien-

Makes fun of me for not having a driver license, but he would take me anywhere with his car if I asked.

we write each other a letter every three months, beacuse I just love everything about this too much. He always says that he loves me, really, but on a letter we all get deeper.

we are from the same year, but I am 5 months older

he really would do anything for me and I don’t think it’s beacuse we are young, or because we have been together only for 4 years (even if I would say it’s a big number at my age), but because his family was the once to teach him how to love unconditionally (yall they are all so beautiful together😭).

he gives, gives and gives and would never ask back

My blanket man<33 even if during summer it’s insufferable

When we swim together I can just hang on him and he will drag us around LOL

We call each other other “amore” (love) or “tesoro” (treasure)

Never pressed me into doing anything, not once, at it should be, but I sometimes look at my friends relationships and it’s not always like this sadly.

My strength. If I am studying those days it’s just because he is giving me the strength to do it. I’ve been studying in his room and I can’t only really concentrate when someone is around, so he has been helping me endlessly lately. And I know it means so much to him, because I know how much he would rather talk or hold me instead of watching me studying.

We are both a tad old on the inside, we are very chill, not really social, the type of people that wouldn’t talk at a function.

Anyway, I feel like I’ve been over sharing tooooo much, but who doesn’t love a question about something they are passionate about? Hehehe

There are good men out here, I have the proof, you just gotta keep your standards high :))

I was lucky that I got introduced to him through a friend (@/indac0) and after a month we got together. I love the idea of growing with, many people, even adults (ew) told me that I should go out and “experience” instead of staying in my very healthy relationship. But I would rather have grown with someone kind and learned what love is, than trying situationships that I know what would take me to anything. And I believe that this road it’s actually the only one that makes you understand what you like and the only one that won’t make your time feel wasted, because you already know that you are going nowhere with flings and that you will have lost time anywhere. Why not try something serious? Why not try to become a unique piece of puzzle with someone?

This is personally how I view this.

I wish you all the luck with love anon and thanks again for your kind words💖🫶🌷✨

#I appreciate this ask very much #thanks again anon <33 #ask #not read proofed

*CLAPS HANDS AND RUBS THEM TOGETHER* NOW THAT I'M FINISHED ANSWERING YOUR ASK, CYN. (BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU!) PLEASE DO THE CHARACTER OPINION BINGO FOR KAITO, AOKO, SHINICHI, AND RAN. PRETTY PLEASE. MAY YOUR DAY BE SPECTACULAR!

Hi! Here's my ask with drawings (of various quality, you can see as I drew more I got more into the swing HAAHHAH. That's what I get for being so rusty - I don't actually draw that often.) The colours I used are ones I associate with the characters!

ft. my very informal writing style, probably like a thousand typos because I'm typing this at 1am, and many shoutouts to amazing dcmk creators 🥰

Also, please check out Anna's ask! https://akai-anna.tumblr.com/post/739521989281234944/hey-there-my-lovely-mutual-3-3-i-love-when-you

Anna, you're so lovely, fr. I hope this makes you giggle and swing your feet, I had such a fun time thinking about them! I added my own flair with my drawings <3

Feel free to ask me to decipher any handwriting

P.s. That character with the hat you'll see is my sona! I'm calling him Sol because that's another online name I seem to take up often. Feel free to call me Sol as well!

(Shameless plug: Check out my art blog - cyndraws - if you like my art! Also, it has some au ramblings too ^v^. https://cyndraws.tumblr.com/)

KAITO

Bingo count: 4 (well, If I ticked only more more box, I could have extra bingos for almost every extra box I ticked haha...)

The art: I gave up at first and just drew him as a stick figure. Then I added clothes to him, that's why he's so proportionally off,,, My beloved blorbo, I feel like I did you so dirty 😭

Fun challenge: Guess what I was inspired by when I drew Kaito's and Aoko's outfits.

I'm literally in love with him no joke. The love is too intense aughhdfk. What kind of love? Yes. I would do anything for him. I'd be so clingy fr.

Headcanons? Sooo many. Not even a joke. They're too integrated into my brain at this point so yeah haha

His HANDS. Slim and very fast and flexible. They have callouses - screw smooth hands. Callouses as a sign of his hard work throughout his entire life.

Fox? He's a fox. So silly, little trickster. https://www.tumblr.com/cyndraws/739418480470851584/look-me-in-the-eyes-and-tell-me-kaito-isnt-a-fox

Let's just link my simping art here too: https://www.tumblr.com/cyndraws/739224275061456896/im-such-a-simp-help-me-kaito-simps-unite-pls Please let me squish his cheeks please...PLEASE

Bonus: Old character opinion bingo for Kaito: https://cyndraws.tumblr.com/post/739190201679757312/everyone-if-im-going-to-expose-myself-as-a-kaito I got over the fear 👍 It's from a while back, like maybe... 2022? idk

I love unhinged Kaito

Gender? Please. I'll take any masc at this point HAHAH

Canon isn't real - Like it's amazing but also like... underwhelming. *Shakes it vigorously* GIVE ME MORE. MORE EKODA GANG. MORE SUPPORT FOR KAITO. LET KAITO CRY. I WANT MORE WORLD BUILDING ON AKAKO AND TO SEE THE KUROBA FAMILY MORE (+ a billion more requests.) PLEASE GOSHO IM BEGGING

(It's ok, I got the fics for these cravings 👍)

2. AOKO

Bingo count: 0

Wow. I realised just how little brain space I dedicate to her... but she's also so silly. I love her so much. She's a great character to pair up with Kaito (for any relationships, I love when they're having fun together.) She doesn't need more suffering <3

I love sm how in MK1412 they added extra scenes of the Ekoda gang! And Aoko looks so cute in it! (everyone else? ... it varies)

youtube

Snowball fight! ^

Now this is a hella hot take but I personally think KaiAo is much more interesting than ShinRan (for me). And fun too, because I've always been drawn to fun and teasing dynamics like these over the more romantic ones (if you get what I mean by more romantic). KaiAo and Shinran both are such wonderful couples though. *Bangs fists on table* THEY'RE BOTH SO UNBEARABLE CUTEEE

Someone told me I have very similar vibes to Aoko and I've been reevaluating myself XDD. No but I can see it. I think we have a similar energy (in my brain at least, I'm much more tired when I go out) and even preferred fashion.

Would give her a kiss anytime. Definitely. Let's go out on a picnic and have a fun hangout. We would be good friends.

Aolele theory by alizardjae: Please check it out!!! https://alizardjae.tumblr.com/post/134111960564/alright-finally-got-around-to-writing-this-thing Basically it's the summary I wrote up there. I whole heartedly believe in it, because it's a fun theory and I've done it before myself (...ehem annoying relatives) - so it's definitely believable. And I love the idea of Aoko Holmes being carried over from Nonchalant Lupin (<- Prototype of Magic Kaito. It's a fun read!)

3. SHINICHI/CONAN

Bingo count: 4

Drawing was inspired by that scene where Conan gets suspicious of Hanzawa-san (from The Culprit Hanzawa, a spinoff of dcmk.)

Ok, so the thing is, I have a very strange relationship with him.

He's so silly, right? He so fun, he's adorable, so caring and well meaning, but I'm scared of him. I wouldn't want to meet him. I'm terrified even though he's so nice 😭. So I'd rather observe from a distance (hence the drawing ^ but I'd definitely set off his senses a lot.)

(What does it say about me that I'm scared of Shin/Cone but not Kaito? I'm working on overcoming my fear of Conan/Shin, I promise *on my hands and knees* I REALLY AM)

(My irl friend understands why I'm so terrified, I've explained the crazy stunts he's done and his very illegal spy equipment to them... they actually got a nightmare about Conan that night. He's such a law breaking little gremlin (affectionate)) So...no kisses for you, detective... only because I'm too intimidated 😭 But I'll gladly make content dedicated to you and fawn over you <3

If it's not already obvious, Kai > Shin/Cone for me. But he's definitely a close second.

Shin's/Cone's aesthetic? So peak. His detective work and general vibes with the series is so banging. That clean formal attire - I love wearing more formal stuff out. Being judged for it? At this point I don't really care hahaha. His mismatching outfits are so endearing, but I don't really vibe with them.

Canon is kinda frustrating for me. Well, as usual, I love to pick out the pieces I love and keep them dear to my heart. Ugh I want more identity issues and character relationship focuses. And more Shinran, this is literally ridiculous for slowburn lol.

4. RAN

Bingo count: 0

I drew a masterpiece for her. As she deserves 🥰. (Fun fact, this is the first time I've drawn her properly.)

Drawing inspirations:

Sakura Class! It was so adorable. I loved seeing the povs of both Shin and Ran. The Sakura couple,,, 🥺🥺 why are they so cute

LavenderTowne! Her art is amazing and her art tips are always so helpful: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD4XIm3ZFhT72WjqhIXMN9w

In particular, I used these two tutorials: Easy Background: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Zw5oB-ir5R0 Easy Lighting: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/shWoTarp_Vk

*ehem* Back to our ask now

Ran is so lovely! Such a queen, so adorable, such an icon! Have you seen her puff out her cheeks in chapter 1120? (+ many other instances of her being cute of course.)

(^ well, now you've seen it)

I love her with sass! It's so funny and fitting for her. And paired with her badassness? Wow. She's amazing. She has such a big heart too <3

I can see how Shinichi fell for her at first sight, she really is so pretty and cute. Her smile was such a direct hit to his heart XD

Obligatory shoutouts!:

Amazing Shinran analysis by rabbitsrants: https://www.tumblr.com/rabbitsrants/737479648281329664?source=share

Really REALLY cute Shinran art by detshin: https://www.tumblr.com/detshin/734222664310358016?source=share https://www.tumblr.com/detshin/734913462286909440?source=share Their blog also has really cute Shinran content!

For some reason, I associate the english localised names to the more sarcastic and witty characterisations in the funimation dub. That's why I wrote Rachel.

Maybe it's because of halfpenny_jones's amazing characterisation: https://archiveofourown.org/users/halfpenny_jones/pseuds/halfpenny_jones/works?fandom_id=964594 Please check out their works too!

That's the end~ Thanks so much for asking! It was so enjoyable to ponder and draw. And I'll always take opportunities to talk about them.

Feel free to chat again whenever you feel like it <3 And also, feel free to ask about many other things too, like more character bingos or aus if you find them interesting. I hope you also enjoy them if you go through them.

See you next illusion~

OH MY GODD SKATERGIRL NOBARA PLEAAAAASEEE that's literally genius wow i can't wait to hear about all of them i'm so excited!!!!!!!

- @softgirlgonehaywire

MICKEY PLS DONT APOLOGIZE PHSJDHD i wasnt planning on doing it at first cause i didnt know if ppl would be interested 😭😭 BUT then i saw that u and everyone else was doing it so i immediately caved AND IM SO GLAD I DID u picked some of my personal faves !! ari/mickey connection going steady hehe

i’d apologize in advance for making this long but i feel safe w u this is just our average communication let’s go <33 here is some tea for u while u read !! 🍵

OKOK SOOOO first of all ; sappy drunk!sugu x reader….. yes. this one is sooooo special to me its been downright rotting in my drafts since the beginning of time and its literally all written out ?? but i need to delete some stuff n polish it overall….. </3

BUT yeah the plot is basically just: sugu goes out to a bar w satoshoko, gets drunk even though he literally never gets drunk, and so reader discovers that he is, in fact, the sappy kind. (shocker!) it’s just sooooo sickeningly fluffy and he’s so whipped. ☹️☹️ he’s like a puppy. all he can think of is reader and how much he wants to put a ring on their finger HE’S SOOOOO

here are a couple snippets hehe. literally just disgusting amounts of Fluff for my soul

sho 🚬 : anyway he’s been asking me where u are for the past ten minutes pls come i can’t stand him sho 🚬: he’s crying. you: HUH???????? you: WHY??? 😭😭😭 sho 🚬: dude i dont know sho 🚬: pls come get him he’s being so sappy that satoru’s abt to throw up

”— and i have you.” a stutter of your heartbeat, a jolt throughout your chest. his stare almost burns, but you can’t avert your gaze — suguru looks positively lovesick. admiring you with a dreamy gaze, as if he can’t believe you’re real. he reaches a hand out; cradling your face with one big palm, the rough pads of his fingers smoothing down your skin so very gently. smearing his fondness from your jaw to your cheekbone, so loving your breath hitches in the back of your throat. a soft, content sigh spills into the air, like a prayer that doesn’t need any words. his smile is serene. ”my angel.” that peaceful smile changes shape, shifting into a big, giddy grin. it lights up his whole face. a chuckle leaves his lips, content and delighted. ”i’m the luckiest guy in the world.”

”sugu,” you whine, dragging his name out childishly. ”we need to sleep…” ”sorry,” he only murmurs, muffled into your skin. he doesn’t stop, though, planting a wet smooch on your cheek, and then another. you squirm a little in his hold, and he emits a shaky breath. ”jus’ love you so much…”

i just think sugu has so much love in his chest that he like Never lets out bc he knows it can feel overwhelming unless he shows it in small doses but then he gets drunk and everything just SPILLS out . idk but my knees would buckle

AND THEN ….. wolf/hunter!sugu x little red riding hood!reader OHHHH MICKEY IM SO HAPPY U ASKED…. this concept entered my brain and has Not left even once but its still just this vague idea in my head. im just so interested in fairy tale aus!! i figure its probably gonna end up kinda twisted? or maybe a mix between sweet/twisted if i can pull it off 😭😭 bUT the main idea is that sugu plays the part of both the wolf AND the hunter, reader doesnt know who to trust but sugu is their only option either way. at first i was thinking of making him like a whole Wolf Man but now im leaning towards it being more symbolic … the trustworthy hunter was the ”wolf” all along yk? IM SO FOND OF THIS ONE i cant wait to write it !!! ive been itching to write something a lil more gritty anyhow :33

AND AND SICK!TORU X DOTING!READER ….. our babyboyyyy he’s so :((( he’s just so sick and delirious and trying to convince reader that he’s Fine Actually but he’s just burning up :(((( and so he has no choice but to face the terrifying reality of Being Taken Care of By Someone He Trusts. horrifying. as soon as he’s slightly better he’s just throwing himself over u and begging for kisses though (he’s an opportunist <33)

this is another one that’s just veryyyy fluffy n sweet!! AND another one that i have written out i just need to delete a lot of stuff bc its like . over 10k i think I GOT CARRIED AWAY OK…… 😭😭

aaand here r some snippets from this one!! just overflowing w gojo love <333 he’s our sweetiepie our little baby angel i need him tucked into bed

”really, baby,” he slurs, voice raspy and dry. attempting to get up, arms straining under his shivering body. ”there’s no need f’ —” unceremoniously, his limbs give out beneath him, and he tumbles back down. face falling back into the mattress, as he croaks out a meek little wince. (the sound makes your heart squeeze tightly in your chest.) ”ah,” he hums, muffled into the sheets. resisting the urge to close his eyes. ”that’s… annoying.”

”baby, i think my fever’s going up again…” satoru pouts, looking up at you. ”can you check?” a raise of your eyebrow. you give him a smile. ”this is the fifth time you’ve asked me to check your temperature, toru.” ”just wanna make sure,” he whines. ”please?” an exaggerated sigh. then you’re leaning down, soft lips meeting his forehead, humming against his skin — and, just like last time, and the time before that, his temperature hasn’t gone up. ”you’re good.” ”oh, thank god,” satoru exhales. ”are you sure? like, a hundred percent sure? maybe you should check again. just in case.”

”you’re cute,” satoru croons, still cradling your cheek. tenderly, soft fingertips against your heated skin. all you manage is a meek little furrow of your brows, but that only makes him chuckle again. after a silent moment, you part your lips. ”… you can.” he blinks. still smiling. ”stay forever, i mean.”

yeahhhhhh. yeah. u know how it is. (i am consumed by love for this silly little 28 year old man)

AND FINALLY LAST BUT NOT LEAST … skatergirl!nobara x reader <333333 my most beloved ever. i only have a vague outline but im sooo in love w this concept mickey im overjoyed that it caught ur eye….. just . picture nobara being covered in hello kitty band aids bc she’s not very good at skating but she just thinks it’s SO fun and she goes to the skate park w maki while wearing acrylic nails and she’s just having such a blast :(( grinning and giggling!!! she’s literally my daughter i adore her ….

my idea for the fic is basically just that reader has this weird one-sided rivalry w nobara bc they’re a bit jealous of her + she’s so pretty it makes them angry LOL and they assume that she doesnt notice them at all… but in reality nobara is like HIGHKEY crushing on reader she does these complicated flips JUST to impress them she’s a lovergirl!!! so it’s basically just super duper fluffy n sweet hehe <33

TYSM FOR ASKING MICKEY i had to take my time w this one hehehe . i hope u’ll enjoy these fics when theyre posted although it’ll probably take a while… COVERING U IN KISSES WATCH OUT

#THESE R ALL SOO PRECIOUS TO ME ☹️☹️ precious wips for a precious mickey #wolf/hunter!sugu literally makes me insane btw like completely unhinged #imagine meeting a hunter and he’s so reliable so strong so capable. he’s the only one you can trust.#he keeps you safe and warns you of wolves and you pretend not to hear the way his gravelly voice sometimes shifts into a growl #the way his grip around you turns just a tiny tiny bit painful . he’s just so kind. he’s the only one you can trust. the only one you have.#YKNOW??????? like hes soooooo . i dont like thinking abt twisted variations of sugu often but he’s so <333 in small doses #ANYWAY ty mickey i hope u eat a super good meal today like so good u fall into a coma right after #ask tag ✩#mickey !! ✩

Prompt: Sometime before Vegas. Danhausen infers that he's a good kisser, idk, maybe he's judging a scene in a movie they're watching (OR JUDGING SAMMY VOMITVOMITVOMIT) or something. And Hook rolls his eyes like, yeah, okay, sure Jan. Only Danhausen doubles down and offers Hook a live demonstration. CUE THE BI PANIC

(how dare you make me think about sammy EVER; content warning for Sammy’s tongue)

Okay. There are lines, and there are lines, and Hook's pretty sure that turning a corner in the staging area and nearly running into Sammy with his entire tongue down Tay's throat is one of the latter. Like, okay, but why? And also he has to stumble backwards to avoid smacking into them, nearly taking Danhausen, who'd been half a step behind, down with him.

"What the hell," Hook mumbles, because the two don't even notice. How do they not notice? And, wow, okay, that's just so much tongue. So, so much tongue. No kiss should ever require that much tongue. Is it even considered a kiss if it's just Sammy sort of shoving his tongue in and—oh god, Hook can't even finish the thought. Watching it is already too much. He gives them a wide berth with both hands in the air, an obvious sign of surrender, because please. Stop.

"Some people," he mutters, when they finally get to the locker room. He sort of didn't even check to see that Danhausen was still following him, as turning around would have meant having to see that display of bizarre tongue dance ritual Sammy and Tay had embarked upon. Ugh.

He finally glances to the side to find Danhausen wearing a strangely contemplative expression. After a moment, Danhausen notices Hook's eyes on him and blinks a little, brow furrowing. "That technique was terrible."

"What?" Hook asks, confused.

"Sammy," Danhausen clarifies, as though speaking about the tongue atrocity they just witnessed isn't threatening to bring Hook's breakfast up. "Danhausen is somewhat appalled by how little finesse he has."

Are they seriously talking about this? Is this what his tag team future looks like—debating Sammy's kissing techniques? Christ. Hook wants to shove Danhausen into a locker, except he's curious, and fuck, he hates that he's curious about where this train of conversation is going to go. "Are you some kind of expert?"

"An expert? No." Danhausen laughs a little, mouth curved up in mirth. "But certainly better than that." Then his features smooth over a little as his gaze sharpens, eyes narrowing as they flicker over Hook's features. "Does Hook want a demonstration?"

"What?" Hook repeats, this time with a twinge of panic accompanying it.

"A demonstration," Danhausen repeats, like Hook hadn't heard him the first time.

No? Why would—except Danhausen is sort of getting closer, and uh—fuck, Hook's brain is short-circuiting here. He really needs to say something and shove the guy away, and his arms sort of aren't obeying any of his commands, and maybe that's because he's still stuck on the idea in the first place.

And then Danhausen grabs his sweatshirt by the front, pushing him back against the lockers, and okay, Hook hadn't expected that, hadn't anticipated the way it knocked all the air out of his lungs in a rush, the way it's got his toes curling against the inside of his sneakers.

Danhausen leans closer, fingers still fisted in the hoodie fabric, and murmurs, "Isn't this how Hook usually starts these things?"

Is he...is he implying what Hook thinks he's implying? He needs to say no, obviously, because this hadn't been what he'd been angling at when they were backstage that day, right? And he needs to say no, like, of course, no, except the only syllable he can push out past his teeth is a mangled, "uh."

His eyes drift down to Danhausen's mouth of their own accord, a betrayal, because he doesn't—he isn't—

The black of Danhausen's paint twists up again, a little lopsided. "Hook can always push Danhausen away, can't he?"

Yeah, except Hook's arms aren't working; he can't get them to move, and the problem is he's not entirely sure he wants to, which is—oh, fuck, this is a big problem. A fucking huge problem. A problem that is most definitely aware of the internal war being waged as he gets close enough to brush the tips of their noses together, close enough that Hook can feel the puff of his exhale against his lips.

Oh fuck, this is definitely happening.

Okay, okay, Hook just—he will push Danhausen away, he will, once the guy gets this out of his system. He doesn’t fight when Danhausen bridges the space remaining between them to press his mouth lightly against Hook’s, and it’s not...it’s not what Hook anticipated. It’s gentle, maddeningly so; it’s one feather light kiss, and then another. Another. It’s like rain against his face, almost, except it’s more of a search, a call and response: a radar signal sent out into the depths to see if one returns.

And Hook can’t do anything but send it back. His eyes flutter closed when he leans in just a little, enough to match it, to meet Danhausen halfway. It’s—it’s nice. It’s different being able to feel the squareness of Danhausen’s jaw and then, after Hook slides his hands up into the man’s hair, the way the short strands slide through Hook’s fingers and end sooner than he’s used to.

His active participation in the kiss must spur Danhausen into action more, because the pressure strengthens, more push, more force, as Danhausen crowds closer in, aligning them shoulders to hips. And it sort of surprises Hook enough that he inhales sharply, mouth opening—the sort of invitation that Danhausen doesn’t seem to have any issue with answering. Danhausen licks his way between Hook’s teeth, gentle slides of his tongue, and yeah, this is so much better, this is fucking awesome. Hook could lose himself in this, the way Danhausen groans against his lips and how it reverberates through his skin, the feel of Danhausen’s face beneath his palms as he tightens his grip, the way the man smells like soap and aftershave, a distinctly sharp scent. Hook’s caught in the sway of moving together, of mapping out the taste of him, of—

Footsteps sound on the other side of the locker room door. Danhausen slides away, abrupt, and Hook nearly careens over trying to follow him back before they disengage. He has approximately one second of Danhausen grinning at him, paint smudged beyond repair, before the door opens. Danhausen slips past the figure entering with more speed than Hook would have guessed, leaving Hook sort of uselessly slumped against the lockers, chest heaving and fingers trembling.

He’s about to pull up all his normal gruffness to attempt to salvage the situation, play it off all, oh god, Hook, be cool, but Ricky just stares at him, incredulous, and after a few seconds, lifts his index finger to his face and drags two circles in the air. “Dude,” he says.

Fuck. Fuck. Hook’s undoubtedly got black paint smeared all over his fucking mouth. He drags his thumb across his bottom lip, and the digit comes away fairly well coated with it.

Ricky laughs, loud and high. “Well fuck me, kid. Or, maybe that’s the wrong turn of phrase?”

“Fuck off,” Hook groans, face aflame. “Don’t even say it. Don’t you dare.”

And Ricky just laughs again, leaving Hook to bolt towards the restroom in the back, to splash his face with water in a rushed attempt to rid his skin of the evidence, all while his brain stutters and catches on the thought that yeah, Danhausen has much better technique.

Shit. Hook’s so fucking screwed.

4 Minutes ep 2 thoughts

stream of conscious thoughts under the cut

the ATMOSPHERE!!! the LIGHTING. perfect. don't remember who anyone is or what they look like so no idea who that is. not the best way to kill a man but I understand the need for brutality sometimes

I am kissing the camerawork on the head and tucking it into bed I love it SO much.

I love the way this actress delivers her lines with such believable weariness/exhaustion. she's at the end of her rope and you can feel it.

oohhh that LOOK still gets me. Great holding onto the papers slightly too long, he's useless just like us :)

hospital staff are powered by gossip so this scene is perfect. bisexual Tyme is canon and beautiful.

genuine question: should we recognise any of these people?

22% battery??? at 8.45AM god Great is a MESS.

okay so his school buddy is the dick from the previous scene. I like his dangly earring.

omg he killed her didn't he!! this is why you shouldn't date men

turquoise lockers was a bold choice but I love it

if I could eat cinematography I would be doing that rn. that noise in the background is 10/10. more flashes or just remembering?

GREAT HAS A LAVA LAMP 💀

"I have something fun for you to help with" at 11pm? girl that is not the way

Great was NOT concerned enough about his friend locking his girlfriend away for my liking. but I do enjoy that he's sometimes terrible.

let bible say fuck! 😔

I wanna live in tv world where being knocked unconscious for a while doesn't have any permnanent consequences

a bar fight? show us that please

is it a lighthouse? in the opening scene I thought like a guard tower. anyway the moving light works so well I want every scene lit like this

my one criticism…that's not the right noise for bashing someone's head in with a rock.

wow they're both terrible at punching you love to see it

omg Great's face. a poor little meow meow for SURE

that might be the most superfluous hood ever. the black scrubs are a Look imo

!! a little primping!! THE SHIRT TUCK. Bee clocked him immediately. this is gonna fuel night shift for hours (powered by gossip!) try a power pose Tyme my guy. the dude has a headwound he may see two of you

okAY. is this standard procedure mr doctor

omg the funky music. I need to consume the whole soundtrack immediately

Great is sooo useless I love him

why wouldn't you just say you saw his name on the chart Tyme my god

this nurse...my love…marry me

that pause was Tyme evaluating if Great's hot enough to combat the crazy

if he's dead does someone know where View (?) is and can free her!!

this is a stunning indictement of whoever processed the crime scene originally

god we're definitely supposed to recognise some of these dudes aren't we 😬 sorry your brother (?) died, whoever you are

well whatever cop has dead guy's phone knows who did it by now Great

oh thank god great got View out

the ticking clock as the soundtrack to this fight…chef's kiss

WAIT I THOUGHT HE WAS A HALLUCINATION WHO IS DEAD what is HAPPENING. has the good doctor being doing a little light stalking perhaps

Tyme's actor is the king of micro expressions. love the progression from "damn I should've been nice" to "well if he isn't going to be nice…"

smooth mr doctor smooth. although I thought he was gonna go for "just to be safe I'll walk you home"

also I'm just saying next episode Great should have serious bruIsing on his neck

oh no…such a shame….no online gambling….

ohhh it was THIS guy. okay. not showing us who the picture is I see! (idk if there's a guy missing that we've seen before or what because I can't remember anyone except the two leads) brutal. dump that guy! although I thought it was gonna be this guy involved in hacking the gambling sites idk

that shot through the wine glass omgggg. wasn't really paying attention to what else happened in this scene because I'm too busy psychically willing this woman to marry me

TYME with the secret business OKAY. so excited to see how this plays out!! I'm hoping ep 3 kick starts the plot a bit more

#oldsargasso watches 4 minutes #4 minutes

this is such an interesting question ! i find him fascinating now but i didn't like Nico at all when i got into f1 - bc i got in via an extremely pro-Lewis part of the fandom. but also tbh i just found his vibes really offputting. thinking about why has been really interesting

i think class is a big reason why. as a French person he really reminds me of a specific type of Southern European ultra-rich douchebag, the smooth elegant tanned and botoxed to hell who winters in Ibiza kind. when i was a kid my dad's job included shmoozing a lot of these guys so we went on vacation with them and their families sometimes (which was nice, not complaining, but also really weird, gave me a crash course in my god really rich ppl can be a special kind of pathetic) and Nico fits the vibe to a T. these are the guys that non-Europeans might see as a bit gay or effeminate. but the thing is, masculinity is a construct, and a very culture/class specific one. this type of guy can wear fine italian leather shoes, fancy colorful shirts, be very charming and affectionate w his family, has his pet charity projects, loves wellness hippie shit. but he's almost always gonna have conservative opinions and wow can he say rancid shit abt women/gay ppl/immigrants when pressed. he's not being gnc. at all.

in these circles open displays of macho aggression and physical strength and showboating ala American masculinity are considered vulgar and working class. high class dominant masculinity is first and foremost demonstrated by culture there. intellect, refinement, a certain kind of genteel affect and of course, being from the right kind of background that allows you to feel entitled and look down on others. that's what i saw first when i saw Nico, even though clearly that's not actually him. i can imagine that's also valid for some EU f1 fans/media that aren’t ultra rich.

and ofc i know f1 is full of rich people. but tbh as a French person American style billionaires and their over the top antics don't feel real to me. and that is an ideal of being rich that generally presents itself as more attainable, meritocratic. everyone can do it, we're just regular guys who got started in a garage vibe. false, but it makes them more relatable, and 'average' people a lot less angry. (useful!) old money Western/Southern European vibes that show status through culture, though ? you will never be one of them. and generally you won't even know why but they will, and they will make you feel vulgar and worthless and ashamed about it. it gets under ppl's skin like nothing else.

of course probably a lot of non EU fans can see Nico as typical coastal/city elite liberal disconnected from "real" masculinity/life/etc too it's not exclusive i think he has the kind of vibe that is hateable by a lot of different people for different reasons

that said Nico’s family is not exactly old money, right - at least his dad, who also seems like a very down to earth guy. idk about his mom. if he grew up btw Monaco/Ibiza/a fancy international school he was probably surrounded by ppl who were a lot more old money than him growing up, though. the kind that think getting your money and prestige through sports is fun and exciting like a circus attraction but you know, at the end of the day, tacky. and hearing him talk more, he does give a bit of a social climber trying too hard vibe. which, again, this is complete speculation, but could add to the impostor complex doesn't fit anywhere vibes. and now tbh Nico seems to me more like the type who just wants to fit in and prove himself rather than the type who wants to assert status superiority (aside from on the track).

never been but i can imagine the world of f1 is excessively full of all sorts of status posturing. lots of boring privileged types from all over the world that want to buy into the thrill and macho, risky allure of sports, the meritocratic "i earned all of this through my own sweat tears and aggressive daredevil behavior" vibes. investing in drivers and mechanics like others invest in horses. at the same time the prestige, technological advancement aspect and insane amounts of money involved in f1 keeps it classy. i also think a lot of (male, older) f1 fans have similar fantasies when they watch, getting a bit of that prestige by proxy.

and when you have someone like Nico who is trying too hard (and not in the right way) and is awkward and a bit too earnest and overthinks things and doesn't easily fit in a clear cut category...i think it kind of exposes that the whole thing is a farce, actually, and i think that's (part of) why he is so hated

bottaslicious:

what is it about nico rosberg that irks people (men, mostly) so much

overall he’s intelligent, a good driver, good-looking, considerate of fans, generally manages to avoid saying shitty things

like i could see some people hating him over the fact he’s a second generation driver and had a foot between the door automatically (which is bullshit tho, a good name gets you only so far before it works against you since you have to prove you’re worth more than your legacy) and comes from a privileged background. still, it’s not like keke would’ve been easy on him, we’re talking about a man who had to pave his own way into f1 (there was a point pre-f1 when he was both the driver and press and wrote the articles of his races himself so yeah keke literally built the road he was walking) and got shit from every possible source - a man who taught mika häkkinen the value of money by giving him allowance so there was this f1 star at the beginning of his career living in monaco in an apartment furnished with one table, one chair and a bed - a man who very clearly said he wouldn’t want baby nico to become a racing driver. so yeah, keke has definitely been supportive of nico always but there is no way he’s let him just have what he’s asked for.

obviously there’s a lot of hating him bc he’s a threat to a driver they support because what better way to love your fave than to shit on their obstacles but it’s not like it explains it all; there’s just something about nico that rubs people the wrong way, especially men.

idk how much of it is linked to nationality - it’s always easy to support your country and nico’s just not your simple bratwurst. lewis’ fave thing in the world is to say nico’s not german, lewis’ fans with tinfoil hats love to scream “NAZI” every time nico does as much as sneeze at his direction, in finland nico’s nationality is basically a question of personal preference. he’s from everywhere until someone says he really isn’t.

if you take away his nationality and the fact he’s a second generation driver he’s just like any other chump from the grid yet he seems to arouse more intense opinions, everything from total hate to very aggressive “meh i don’t feel one way or another”. so. idk. maybe it was just a really bad timing for him.

I think about this a lot tbh.

I’ve probably only talked to a handful of people in real life about F1 and whenever the subject of drivers came up they were all completely baffled when I said I liked Nico. Even the ones who didn’t care much for Lewis didn’t really understand it. It’s funny because of all the drivers I support he’s probably also the one who I find it the hardest to articulate my support for, so whenever it comes up in conversations I find myself saying things like:

- He had to overcome all these expectations growing up because he was Keke’s son and the only thing you can say in terms of preferential treatment is that he was exposed to racing at a very early age and had a dad who understood the business but that will only get you into a kart when you’re a kid, it won’t keep you in F1 for so many years and with such great results. Nico earned his stripes and he did it with humility and grace.

- He’s very intelligent and probably even a bit too smart for his own good. Like Daniil (also a real polyglot) who sometimes seems to overthink things and drive from the head instead of the heart - which can be great in some respects but more often than not it simply isn’t enough, especially in those oh so very crucial make-or-break moments.

- I love the idea of him working so fucking hard to get to where he is despite not being as naturally gifted as Lewis. And he isn’t. He knows he isn’t. But he has oodles of talent and even more determination and drive and I respect that and admire it so fucking much. I stopped doing so many things because I wasn’t the most gifted kid doing that particular thing at that time and it was sort of like - well, what’s the point then? This is the point, you only need enough talent to build on and idk, I think that’s so awesome.

BUT

All the while in the back of my head I know exactly why all those points won’t convince anyone.

Yes, he’s intelligent but he isn’t particularly funny (actually that’s the most authentically German thing about him). He’s so literal sometimes it’s off-putting. He handles everything with grace but sometimes it’s way too much grace. Interviewers do all but spit in his face and he’s still playing at being a regal diplomat - but then every so often he drops the diplomacy, like he did in the interview this last weekend when he called Martin out for saying he’s too nice when before the problem was that he’s too mean, and it’s such a fucking delight to watch. You can see it in the comments that people make about him on twitter or in forums, suddenly they love him for a brief moment. Or when he let people hear the emotion in his voice when he said he wanted to go to the end in Abu Dhabi in 2014. Whenever he lets himself be genuine people find it so easy to love him - but he just does it so rarely.

Yes there were expectations because of Keke but when people get to know him he’s so unlike his father that even if he became champion there would still be some disappointment in him for not having Keke’s personality and panache.

And ultimately… yeah, the nationality thing matters. It matters because it makes him seem disingenuous.

If Nico had raced under the Monegasque flag I think people would find it easier to understand him.

It isn’t just that he very clearly isn’t German but that he tries so hard to be. All those posts during the World Cup/Euro just felt so staged, even if they probably weren’t. He wore a black armband after the Germanwings tragedy and while I’m sure he genuinely felt for what happened there was something… idk, it didn’t seem right somehow. It felt like a conscious move and there’s something about national grief that’s like familial grief, like the grief of the nuclear family. You can feel terrible for your friend’s family, or even, say, your cousin’s nuclear family, if they’re going through a tragedy but you can’t sit shiva with them.

Nico’s Germanness feels like it was constructed by someone who read a Wikipedia page on how to be German. Like an undercover spy trained from infancy, all to prepare him to one day assimilate into the target culture. I bet if you asked Nico about German history or politics he would know more than Hulkie or Vettel (well, possibly) but their knowledge is probably a lot more personal than simply factual, it’s based on memories and feelings and the history of their own families and towns and their friends’ families and so on.

One of our most powerful evolutionary traits is to be able to spot those situations where something just isn’t quite right, even if we can’t put our finger on it. That’s why we have such varied accents and dialects, so you can immediately tell if someone is a stranger. It’s probably why you can pick out tourists in a crowd in your hometown even if they’re dressed the same as everyone else. And Nico… idk, it’s almost like he triggers some sort of uncanny valley response in people.

And yes, I agree, men seem to respond to him very strongly and not in a good way. I would think that some of that is probably the lack of bravado and his body language with other men. Like the way he shows affection by tucking his head into the other person’s chest and folding his body into theirs, he’s comfortable choosing to take a submissive position and some guys see that as a sign of weakness. He “lets” people get away with calling him Britney, with saying that he’s pretty… even though you can see it annoys him. He’s still so openly affectionate with his father, he embraces his legacy instead of running away from it. It goes against the whole “every son must kill his father” thing.

Idk, why is it that with Nico I find myself rambling on for hours but I never feel like I explained myself at all?

#nico rosberg #i think i didn't like him also bc he reminded me of sides of myself i don't like !#honestly an undercover sociologist could have an absolute field day in f1 omg
