#yes i'm outing myself as a loser and a guy with a tender heart

[aleisters]

i am making the sappy post about darby, finally.

the shoot love in wrestling is something that really gets to me. and it really gets to me with darby because he's a quintessential underdog. like, shoot he used to be a loner and honestly kind of a loser and a guy with an ugly personality. he can be awkward and stuttering and lisping and he has a really fucking mixed bag of tattoos.

if you go back and watch old interviews with him, he's borderline extremely unpleasant, he's rude and obnoxious, it's often demonstrably clear that he's not happy for some reason or another. he's never really mean to the interviewer, but "shows up to the facetime interview from his bed" is like. okay.

but after he joined aew, he started getting better. for the past year and a half especially he's become someone you can trust with things. he's smiley, he doesn't talk deep and slow to account for his lisp anymore. he's trusted to do things, to do media interviews, to carry around belts, to say he wants to be world champ, to represent aew in the climbing of mount everest. tony khan is paying for some (if not all?) of his mountain climbing training. that's insane.

and i don't think you get who darby is today - outwardly generous (he has random people staying with him all the time, to learn to wrestle, to lose weight with his help, whatever they want), smiley and friendly and personable - without the shoot love. you don't have who darby is today without the fact that tony khan believes in him so much. without his idolisation of jon moxley, and that moxley believes in him for real too. you don't get it without darby being trusted to work with sting - sting! the iconic wrestler sting! and then sting trusting darby's opinion that sting can return to in-ring wrestling (instead of just cinematic amtches). in the present, darby is training sting's son to wrestle. all of that is love.

there's love with the bucks too, who wanted to hire him, who love that he skateboards and stuck up for him incorporating that into his gimmick. who have wanted to wrestle with him before and then got to do that multiple times this year. darby who appears in the background of bte doing stuff like building skateboards for matt. who nick does all the primary checking-on during stunts in their matches. darby can't manage to kayfabe say a bad word about them, he's like "yeah the bucks hired me and i'm so grateful for everything they've done and they're amazing. btw they suck yeah boo hiss evps" it's fucking... cute...

and darby and brody have such a long and deep friendship that they can't wrestle without brody making some proclamation about how they're going to do it forever. brody has a tattoo about darby. eddie kingston had darby for about 1 match before becoming a Ruffling His Hair guy. adam copeland went one step further and said i'd had this boy for one match and i'm going to cuddle him and kiss him on tv. ridiculous sweet stuff.

i'm not putting darby on a pedestal, because he's fallible and imperfect and he's done weird and bad stuff, but i'm not using this post to talk about something that requires a genuine nuanced conversation, i'm using it to talk pathetic and wax romantic about my number one favourite wrestler.

i think he is one of those people who you can really shoot see the development of from an unfriendly gremlin into like, a gremlin that everyone loves for some reason. everyone around him loves him and wants to give him good opportunities and he pays that back so much, as often as possible. he does it by being the pinch hitter when nobody else is right for it, even at the expense of his own body. he does it by raising money for the skateparks that saved him as a kid. he does it by looking after the people around him - making sure his parents never have to work again. he does it by wrestling well, at the top of his game and still improving.

and i'm soft and i believe that love did all that. i think without the people who love him he'd still be a weird off-putting little mess.

and i hope 2025 is his year. i wanna see him at the top of every mountain he wants to climb.

it’s embarrassing how quickly im replying now🤭🤭🫢 but it’s cute that u looked up edits omg i didn’t rly expect u too but YES stan cravity!! also ateez<33 it’s rly cool ur getting into them i like them a lot!!

kun🤤🤤 also hendery n yangyang.. i keep seeing loser!headcanons for them and i love it!!!

um im delirious sungchan wanting to touch and squish your arms is sooooo😋😋😩 i love that, chubby arms are so cute hed just find any excuse to touch your soft arms and yeah,, like imagining they’re your breasts.. they feel so similar.. so plush and tender, and he can get away with it more easily in public over just groping ur boobs🤭🤭

immmsinsane though just imagining chubby girls’ tummies is making me🥵🥵 he’d be so obsessed with you n the way your tummy sticks out more when u sit down, when he puts his hand on your thigh, his forearm grazing the protrusion UGH!!!

and whaaatt he’d love wiping food off of your lips or ur soft cheeks :(( ur pretty double chin :(( calling u his messy girl and feeding you more, giving you another bite before you’ve even had the chance to swallow so u can’t help but drop some onto ur chest or smear some on ur face, but don’t worry he’ll help you!!

and okay plsss if ur wearing a pretty top that’s like a thin material with no bra, your breasts already pushing against the material of the shirt because they’re so heavy :(( and if sungchan is teasing you, or you just catch a glimpse of his abs or his muscles flexing and he notices ur nipples hardening he just teases you even more “you want me so badly, don’t you? want my cock again already?”

i think… he’d have you trained to get wet and needy for him when he feeds you by hand, like you just wouldn’t be able to help urself from getting flustered with the way he watches your mouth n soft lips and your chest rising and falling, you’d know what was coming and that would make u so excited :)) and like.. his big chubby gf who begs him to get her snacks n sweets :(( like if it was late and u were like complaining about how u really needed something chocolate or ice cream :(( so hungry :(( he wouldn’t hesitate to go n get it for u and then feed it to u while you cuddle together<3333333333

I'm loving ateez so much 😭🩷🩷🩷

I LOVE LOSER HENDERY AND YANGYANG, I have no idea why but they fit so well! And hot losers are the best!!! I love loser headcanons so much, I fell for yangyang purely because of those, and I've talked about this before but I really think he'd go for a plus size girl? I can just feel that this boy finds plushy bodies exciting and that adds to his charms too 🫠

I can imagine yangyang with a plus size girl so well, I think he'd love the difference in both sizes, he being on the leaner side while you are on the bigger, and he'd die for the way when he touches you your skin melts in his hands. Also, I can see him loving excess, I don't know if I make myself understood, like he'd love a girl having more chest than "normal", I see him like a boob guy and I'm sure he'd love to bury his face in a big chest 😭🩷

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK ABOUT SUNGCHAN, He'd grip your arms in public to not go for your tits and no one would see weird that he keeps pressing that part but you'd know deep in your heart that he's getting excited because of it 😭😭

AHSHQKQDUWUAJFJEHSBDBFHDJDKFJEJS YOU'RE CRAZY OMG I LOVE THE CONDITIONING THINGGGG

He'd be religiously repeating routines to make you associate feeding you with pleasure, maybe making you eat while he fingers you? Or telling you lick a lollipop as much as you want him to lick your pussy? AGSHQKQJDS I FIND THAT SO HOT MY HEAD CAN'T DEAL WITH THE THOUGHTS.
