#you know in movies when they make cheetahs just run?

[mentality-of-wukong-au]

I said that to paramita because he growled.

*Ok, to be fair, his fighting style mimics that of big wild cats.

Paramita: *Grabs his sword* Even his descendants are nuisances…

彡 the lyrics — choi seungcheol

—in which fans find out yn’s lyrics are about someone they know. not even her fellow members knew this but anyways, now their concern is, who’s the lyrics about?

part 1 ๑ part 2 ๑ part 3 ๑ part 4 ๑ part 5

song inspo— cheetah by deux visages

genre ๑ fluff & crack

notes ๑ band au! short smau. written chapter + some social media captures + a fun fact at the end!!

word count ๑ 1k

you came back from the washroom, swinging your hands to dry them, “wanna watch a movie or play a game?” you asked.

seungcheol was seated on your desk chair, still on his phone. if you peeked over you’d be able to see him typing gibberish in his chat with jeonghan and joshua. in his head, he thought of 30 different ways he could run away from this situation, but he knew if he left your place tonight without doing anything right now, he’d regret it.

“cheol?” you sat on your bed just across him.

“huh sorry?” he closed his phone.

“what do you wanna do?”

cheol knew what he wanted to say but also he didn’t.

but it suddenly spilled out.

“the lyrics,” he looked directly at you.

your heart dropped, “what about it?”

“who are they about? we were talking about it earlier but you never answered properly,” he recalled. you’ve never heard him speak with so much uncertainty before.

he saw the look of hesitation you had on your face. “what bad will it do if you reveal it,” he laughed softly trying to fill the silence.

it could go very bad. it could cost you your band, your career but that’s not what the problem was. it was bad because it could cost you your friendship with the person you cared about the most.

but what could you do about it, the cat was practically out the bag at this point.

“you,” you stiffly blurted.

you’d think cheol’s heart would start racing from hearing that but it’s been racing since he came to your place.

he covered his mouth, hiding his reaction. it’s the same reaction he had when he read the ‘cheol’ written in your diary, not like you’d know. “the lyrics are about me?” he asked to make sure but on your side, the words felt like a huge slap on your face.

you nodded in response.

“even our last song?”

“all of them are about you.”

that’s all he needed to hear to regain his confidence. of course he wasn’t happy to know the last song was about him, however with knowing the many other songs that exist in your discography was also about him, it felt a little good.

he rushed into a hug with you. you two stayed like that until he spoke again. “so you liked me?” he asked, still hugging you.

you didn’t answer so he parted from the hug. he kneeled on the floor and faced you, cupping your hands in his, “sorry that was a bold question.”

you were frozen still but his words thawed you,

“i’ll be honest, i like you, i like you so much, i like you right now and i’m sorry i never made that clear. after listening to the lyrics of our latest song, it feels like i’ve blown my chances with you.”

you finally looked at him in the eyes. “blown your chances?” you repeated confused.

“oh, do i still have a chance? does that means you still like me?”

cheol took note of the way you were quieter than usual. he gets it, it’s a hard topic to talk about but he wanted to get the ball rolling. he felt, there was a chance for you two. he saw something in your eyes, something that said you weren’t ready to let go of what could be and he felt the same way.

“damn, you can admit the songs are about me but you can’t admit you like me?“ he joked.

you chuckled softly, “some things are easier said in other forms.”

he smiled at your indirect confession but he still had more he wanted to understand. “well that last song you wrote sounds like you were getting tired of the person. as much as i love the song, how did you wind up writing those lyrics?” he asked, genuinely curious.

“i don’t know, you never made a move or showed any interest. but looking at it now, it’s my fault, i took it too quickly as a rejection.”

he placed his forehead on your hands, “it’s not your fault, we both were running away from what was just right in front of us.”

“yea,” you whispered quietly, agreeing with what he said.

his head was still rested on you and he continued, “i don’t know if you still like me, especially not after our last song but if ever you have even the slightest bit of feelings left or even none! i want to give you my all.”

you felt so weak and overwhelmed from all that was happening. for you, it was going too fast but something told you, it all might turn out okay.

you placed your head on his, “first, let me recover from all the heartburn.”

his head perked up, “huh?”

“i still like you but you dropped a bomb on me. let me recover,” you sat on the floor with him, still having your hands in his.

“you’ve been dropping bombs on me since 2 years ago!?” he squeezed your hands, implying the lyrics were the bombs.

“that is such an invalid comeback, also, 2 years and you only noticed now! honestly you didn’t even notice, you had to find out from our fans that the lyrics were about you!” you squeezed back.

“you daydream alot the lyrics couldve been those fake scenarios you make in your head,” he said moving his face closer to yours.

that line sounded too familiar.

“have you discussed this who my lyrics were about with jeonghan and joshua?”

“no. why? should i?”

“no.” you firmly said.

he just nodded and didn’t question it. regardless, he was too fulfilled with the current situation.

there was a long pause until cheol broke the silence.

“so after you recover, we can date?” he asked, tilting his head.

“yea sure.”

“also you have to tell me your thought process of all the lyrics you’ve written.”

you grunted at the request and laid on his lap, “don’t push your luck, if you can’t understand the songs that means you don’t pay enough attention when we’re together.” he scoffed and laughed, “you use hidden meanings and metaphors, it is not my fault if i can’t understand them!”

+

๑ cheol has asked you the meanings of your lyrics before but when he felt like the lyrics were starting to seem like they were about jeonghan, he stopped asking.

Besties²(Enemies)²Lovers

---------------------

𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐎 (디노) Imagines, One-shot

Genre : Fluff, romance

Pairing : nonidol!Dino x fem!reader

Warning : Cursing, pet names(?)

When they went from being besties to forced married cat and dog turning the whole house upside down...

---------------------

"AHH!! Y/N!!!" grabbing the fragile glass on the table, he threw it at you, which you missed by an inch by tilting your head a little. You stuck your tongue at him and ran away laughing like a freaking witch came out from a horror movie.

Chan being him started chasing you with water dripping down from his wet hair. His grey shirt was almost wet from all the water you poured on him.

Dino ran after you down the stairs at a rapid speed that even a cheetah would be no match for him. But unfortunately, he wasn't able to catch you as you were running and hoping [left & right] making it hard for him.

"Can't you stop annoying me for once?!" Dino asked you in a demanding tone still running after you.

"No" your reply was simple and sweet which made him more furious.

"What is even your PROBLEM!?"

"YOU of course! Who else? I guess I've told you that for the millionth time. You should have thought twice before calling me an idiot!"

"Ahh, really? You're unbelievable" he mouthed still can't believe your remarks.

Even when you're running, an evil idea popped into your mind which was to push Dino into the swimming pool. But you didn't know that it was the stupidest idea ever. You purposefully sprinted towards the swimming pool which went unnoticed by Dino as he was busy trying to catch you.

As you found the perfect timing to push him when you were just beside the pool, you grabbed his left arm by your right hand and put your other hand on his back, and pushed him with full force. But luck was not on your side as he held your waist and pulled you together with him into the water. And that was the moment you realised that you fucked up.

Taking deep breaths and wiping away the water on your face, you attempted to swim away from Dino which eventually failed when he pulled you closer to him by your waist causing you to bump into his hardened chest. You looked up at Dino who was staring at you with much passion enough to make your heartbeat get rapid.

Abruptly, Dino came closer to your face and cupped it with his right hand while the other hand caressed your back slowly. Startled at his actions, you just stared into his eyes not knowing what to do. Dino took this opportunity and tilted his head placing his delicate lips on yours. You froze as he slowly moved his lips to yours. A tingling sensation ran through your body, somehow something in you made you kiss him back. You could feel his lips forming a smirk but you didn't care. You put your hand around his nape and deepened the kiss. Your lips moved in sync, and suddenly the cold atmosphere turned warm. And nothing mattered at that moment. It was only about you and him with your passionate kiss.

You slowly parted your lips from him, breathing heavily while your face bloomed crimson red. Dino chuckled while his face was turning red too.

"So this is my punishment?"

Dino nodded quickly placing another peck on your forehead.

"Do you love me?"

"Maybe"

Dino splashed the water at you for your teasing remarks.

"I guess I should kiss you again to make you realise my demonic angel"

Every kid's dream future 😎

8. What animal represents them best?

Hmmm that's a tough one. I'd love to say a grasshopper (haha) but let's go with a cheetah. Yeah I know you're thinking cool and collected, but cheetahs are actually SUPER anxious, expend a lot of energy with a task, and prefer to be alone. Also, he can run hella fast.

[autisticempathydaemon]

Take all the time you need hun! I don’t wanna make you feel rushed or anything, life is always busy 💞💞💞

What song are you fixated on at the moment? What lyric or verse, and why?

Both Over & Over by Rio Romeo and Again&Again by The Bird and the Bee, those two songs have been stuck in my head recently, it fits this fear I have in my mind that I’m never truly growing or I’m never actually gonna leave where I am, that I’ll always fall victim to habit and paranoia ���🏽 also I just ADORE my meloncholy depressing songs lol but that’s not very heehee haha of me soooo Spider Web by Melanie Martinez bc it has the sound of a Coqui in it (I’m Puerto Rican) or River is a Vampire by Bear Ghost and Dan ET bc it’s just the vampiric version of that one meme “How you do my fellow kids” and it kills me

• What is your Enneagram type?

I think I’m a type 4? but I do know I’m an ENFP!

• Do you love gargantuan Youtube video essays, and if so, which is your favorite and why?

God I haven’t watched a video essay in AGES but I used to love them, but idk what gargantuan is </3 but I typically like video essays about internet history or crime cases, or of shows I enjoy (like MLP)

• Tell me about your childhood imaginary friend.

SHE WAS A CHEETAH WHO WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME NO MATTER WHAT!!! I would pet her, talk to her, and she’d keep me company when everyone would isolate me/avoid me bc I was ‘too weird’. She was just a big ass cat that would keep me company and run by the cars side to make sure I and my family was safe. She protected me 💞 (thank you for making me remember her 🥹)

• What is your go-to way to fall asleep?

Getting on call with my partner, I’m rather clingy and just wanna spend time with them even if it’s just silence or sleepy rambling, it also keeps me from doom scrolling. If not on call with them I’ll put on RSlash or Gavin’s/Davids sleep aid and hope that knocks me out (and if not that a ba LMFAO-) also if I have Lavender, I put it under/rub it all over my pillow and plushies

• If you had to change your name, what would it be, and why? (In tandem, if you have changed your name, why did you pick that one?)

Im genderfluid/gendervoid so I’ve tried many names, I do like my birth name, it means Loyal Protector/Pledge, so I wanted to find names that mean loyalty or music related names, but one name I’ve been using recently is Quincy, it feels nice sometimes, my partner suggested it to me.

• What is your favorite of Redacted's audios, and why?

Sam’s cuddles and confessions, it’s nice and comforting. That or Cataclysm in general, I fucking LOVE Cataclysm, I love relistening to it. Also any audio that involves Caelum I love that boy dearly

• What Redacted boy holds no appeal to you, and why? Like, not the one you hate but the one who you don't get the hype for. (I won't judge, I promise.)

Aaron and Vincent. Despite me being a huge vampire lover, Vincent just did not catch my attention at all, Aaron just doesn’t peak my fancy aside from one of his BA��s. Also same thing for Porter, he kinda bores me 😔

• Tell me about that one book/movie/tv show you know all the words to.

When I was a little kid, it was the live action 102 Dalmatians, I KNEW THAT MOVIE LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND!!! I FUCKING LOVED WATCHING CRUELLA BEING BAKED INTO A CAKE BY ALL THOSE DOGS. Also Oddball my beloved 💞💞💞 the sweet baby puppy, I just understood the pup for feeling like and odd one out as a grew up, I haven’t seen the movie in years now but it still holds such a special place in my heart. Now as an adult my two favorite shows are The Promised Neverland(only season 1, I’m reading the manga) and Madoka Magica. I love rewatching TPN, but Madoka I have to mentally prepare myself for cause good lord does it make me feel like I never took anti-depressants/pos and then a movie I love now, A Silent Voice. I think I do know that one scene for scene. As a kid who grew up being bullied for being different or just not doing things right, I felt strongly for the main characters. I’ve cried almost every single time I’ve watched the movie. The part where one of the characters jumped off the balcony kills me every time because it reminds me how that could’ve been me from the fresh ages of 9-16 and almost was. It just holds a special spot in my heart and helps me keep going. (I adore my sad heart wrenching shit lmfao)

• Which Redacted boy are you platonically attracted to? Like- forget dating, which dude do you want to be your best friend?

Asher and Guy, those two would be so much fun to be friends with, also with the fact I’m so similar to them, especially Asher, bro is just like me fr 💀💀💀 collars and all. Like I just wanna be that man’s friend he is so silly

• Do you have a go-to thing you ramble about when you're tired, and if so, what is it? (For example, my boyfriend knows I'm ready to sleep when | start talking about space.)

As cheesy as it is, the fact I just want everyone in the world to be okay and happy, I want us all to hold hands, hug, and not hurt. I cry during these rambles sometimes, I genuinely just want everyone to be safe and happy and it tears me up inside and out bc that’s just not possible with the world we live in. That or I just start rambling nonsense lmfao (bonus is if I start rambling about how much I love and care about the person I’m talking to)

• Tell me your go-to gas station and drink combo.

Root beer and either Hot Cheetos/Cheesy Ruffles, or spicy chicken cheese sticks, meow I’m eating the shit out of that. (But if we have the money for it, Icys specifically cherry cause it’s objectively the best flavor next to Pinacolada)

• Tell me about your favorite playlist at the moment.

Like music playlist? Currently my fave has to be either my Alexis, Quinn, or my Darlin and Quinn playlists, I love my evil people playlists and songs that represent fucked up mindsets and relationships. That or my Melancholy Comfort playlist, I enjoy my meloncholy songs.

Redacted playlist tho? Either Sam, Vega, or Caelum, Sam holds a very special place in my heart, he’s incredibly comforting and ngl I miss the less sexual audios from his earlier era. Vega just drives me feral with every new piece of info we learn, GOD I FUCKING LOVE THAT ANCIENT MAN AND THE LORE HE DROPS!!! And then Caelum’s playlist holds a special place in my heart since that was the only playlist I could listen to after finding out I was cheated on/the other woman. Helped me out a lot for about 2 months 💞

• What's your guilty pleasure media, and why?

Those shitty werewolf romance things you see on tiktok, GOD I get so fucking invested in those they’re so needlessly interesting LMFAO idc they’re cringe, I’m cringe too stfu

• And whatever else you think tells me about who you are!

I’m a huge performer! I love singing, dancing, acting, especially singing and dancing. I LIVE for the stage and positive attention, I just wanna make people smile or make people feel scene when I preform. Hopefully one day I can be famous and truly fulfill that dream of mine. I also feel emotions strongly and spent my entire childhood from middle school and up studying psychology and human behavior. Also I absolutely HATE fake people, I can’t stand when people are fake, I try to be a safe person for everyone to truly be themselves cause lord knows I always hated having to put on a mask growing up/being isolated because I didn’t fit in lmfao.

I forgot to click on anon sorry-

I adore this entry- not only did you give me so much information to work with but you’ve given me an opportunity to pair you with Lasko which I love to do.

He’s such a character in need of love, and I think you’re a perfect person to love him and be loved in return for so many reasons. He’d be an introvert to your extrovert which is always an adorable couple dynamic. You’ve mentioned a past characterized by isolation and feeling other; Lasko is uniquely situated to understand and empathize with that. You prefer true, genuine people, and Lasko is so incredibly (albeit apologetically) himself and probably incapable of being anything else.

One of the most fun activities I think you and Lasko would do together is watch anime. I like to think he’s already a fan, mostly of adventure and isekai, with some cheesy shoujo faves he’s so bashful about liking. You show him A Silent Voice, which isn’t his usual genre, and you two cry together. Another fun thing is how you’ll perform and Lasko will be in the front row every time, cheering you on. He brings you a mismatched bouquet and rambles about how he couldn’t pick a dozen of one flower, so he got a little of them all.

Song:

Cause lately it's been hard/ They're sellin' me for parts/ And I don't wanna be modern art/ But I only got half a heart to give to you/ How can you miss someone you've never seen?/ Oh, tell me, are your eyes brown, blue, or green?/ And do you like it with sugar and cream?/ Or do you take it straight, oh, just like me?

You like melancholy songs; I can provide. This is one of my favorite pining songs, and it makes me think of a young Lasko (and maybe a young you) longing for connection, love, understanding, that one person who will make the love songs finally make sense. It makes me picture Lasko just waiting for you, you know?

Runner-ups:

On the total opposite of the pairing spectrum, Hudson is one of your runner-ups because he’d be such a good match to you as a performer. I personally can’t imagine a better hype man than Hudson. I’m also picking David as a runner-up for you, because I think you two would contrast each other really cutely, in a maybe golden retriever/german shepherd way.

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[howlingday]

Just saw the Justice League x RWBY movie, and I gotta say I personally kinda liked it quite a bit.

Did make me pause when I thought about how different their goals are in stopping villains though.

Like when the big bad *spoilers* Kilgore *spoilers* was finally defeated in the end, the first thing 15-year old Ruby wanted to do was see if he was actually DEAD.

Kinda made me realize that while the Beacon students are taught to straight up kill a threat (whether Grimm or human/faunus) the Justice League is more about neutralizing them (mostly) regardless of power level.

Tyrian attacking Uncle Qrow? Ruby cuts off one of his limbs! Adam hunting Blake and Yang? Slice that creep up! Cinder toppled Beacon? That B&$%H Needs To DIE!

On the other hand...

Cheetah gonna kidnap kids? Gotta knock her out! Luthor shooting missiles at the moon? Put that fella in prison! Mad Hatter kidnapping children? Save the hostages and neutralize the threat!

I mean it's NOT a bad thing, but it makes me wonder how comfortable the Justice League would feel about having these teenagers "assisting". And ditto for the Hunters/Huntresses having the Justice League's "help".

What do you think?

SPOLIERS! ...is what I would scream if I actually cared.

But you definitely bring up a good point, but I feel like I should clarify certain aspects.

Now, I haven't seen RWBY/Justice League yet, but I do know a thing or two about two separate franchises.

Regarding the RWBY moments, you have to remember that RWBY is a... less civilized world compared to the DC universe. Aside from the Grimm, you have gangsters, serial killers, and terrorists running around trying to kill for one reason or another, but it's always selfish reasons. So having RWBY kill off their villains makes sense because it makes sense regarding the villains being killed.

Tyrian was a crazy guy who attacked them and potentially killed Uncle Qrow. Ruby saw an opportunity to neutralize Tyrian, who was disracted by Qrow, and took it. Her only failure there was not taking off his head, but removing his poison stinger was a good choice nonetheless.

Adam was on a homicidal rampage and was making lethal attempts at both Blake and Yang. The fact he did this while Blake's guard was down is proof he had to be put down now, or else he would keep attacking later. Also, if you rewatch what happened, Blake was shaking at the fact she just killed Adam. She was shaking because she just took a life up close and personal. The life of someone she knew. In more layman's terms, Kitty Got Trauma.

Cinder is responsible for the Fall of Beacon. She killed Pyrrha. She attacked at Haven and Atlas, and she won't stop until she gets what she wants. So yes, I would agree THAT GOD DAMN BITCH NEEDS TO DIE!

Also, as an added point, look at what happens when you lock up criminals in RWBY. They get out. They escape. Because justice. Doesn't. Work. In. Remnant. The only way to make sure the serial killers and terrorists and monsters stop is to exterminate them. End them. Permanently. And that's what these kids are taught! Compared to the other schools, from what we've seen, Beacon focuses more on the Grimm than on the other dangers of Remnant. The only defense they have is understanding from Dr. Oobleck's history class. So what happens when you pit a huntsman against the soldier? The gangster? The survivor?

So yes, Remnant is less civil than DC Earth, where the other half of our other heroes are located. In this universe, by contrast, our heroes are raised with compassion, humility, and good values for a society.

Cheetah is a tricky foe for Wonder Woman because she is Diana's best friend cursed to be transformed. There's a comic where she's struggling against Cheetah because with all of Diana's lethal moves and Cheetah's lethal intent, she knows her friend is still in there, trapped inside and crying out. When you put her against an opponent she doesn't feel all that close to, say, Maxwell Lord, who was mind controlling Superman, then yeah, she's gonna snap his neck about thirty times to be sure. It should be noted that Diana is also the kind of hero who would lead an uprising in which she aided slave women to murder their captors. So yeah, Wonder Woman will kill, but not someone she cares about.

The trouble with Lex Luthor and Superman is the classic case of Lawful Good against Lawful Evil. Lex Luthor is a public figure, and often a beloved one at that. With a sway of his silver tongue, Superman is the alien invader sent to conquer Earth, which is in a universe filled with invasive alien conquerors, while Lex freaking god damn mother friggin "Steal-Forty-Cakes, Blows-Up-Cities, Cures-Cancer-Then-Gives-Worse-Cancer" Luthor is a damn saint who donates to charities and pursues scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity. If Superman decided to give him that good ol Injustice high five, who do you think will look like the bad guy? Not to mention, Clark was raised better than that by Ma and Pa. Could Kal-El have been a conqueror? If given the right circumstances and the wrong parents, sure. But that's not what happened. Clark Kent grew up learning and knowing better so that he can be just like his heroes; the most loving humans on the planet.

And of course, we come to the center of this shrubbery maze that we all have to talk about. "Everything would be so much better if Batman just killed his enemies." Ugh, I am so sick of making the arguement against this because I don't like conflict, and everyone fails to understand the fucking nuance that is Batman's fucking humanity. I am literally AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!.

So, yes, Batman's enemies are most notably the criminally insane, but they are not the only threat to Gotham. You also have the Court of Owls, Gotham's 1% hunting civilians for sport, and city officials who literally want to toss the homeless into Gotham's furnace to keep themselves warm, and then you have the League of Assassins, eco-terrorists who want to blow up Gotham because it's a literal crime cancer on the planet. But do you know what Batman is in all of this? He's humanity. He's hope. He's the one-man-army fighting to protect his city that doesn't deserve to be saved because it's his home. It's his one sign of proof that his parents didn't die in vain trying to save this city. Would things be easier, or better, if Batman decided to kill? Maybe. But would he still be Batman?

Oh, and before anyone say, "Bud dah Jokah!" Joker literally has a failsafe where if he dies, someone else becomes the Joker, so don't even try.

---------------------------------------------------

There. That's all of the examples.

Now, as for your questions at the end about asking teenagers, I'll state the obvious, Teen Titans, Young Justice, Bllah, Blah, Blah...

But those kids were brought on for two reasons. 1, to help them cope with their traumas (Dick Grayson's parent's murder and Connor Kent coping with his cloned identity) and 2, to train them to be the next superhero team. So yes, I think RWBY being brought on for training would be good to help them all cope with their traumas and train them to have a little more humanity.

Think of it like adopting stray, feral cats. They're more destructive than your usual domesticated pets, but after enough time, patience, discipline, and love, they become a faithful companion. (NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADOPT WILD ANIMALS! THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!)

So, yeah, I think the team up would be great. And as for the question,

"Should heroes be allowed to kill?"

Only as a last, reasonable resort.

Pups Save a Hum-ñata

I had the lowest possible expectations from the episode with Humdinger’s birthday, because when it comes to the PAW Patrol, I don’t expect a slightly adult plot, and I already understand that Humdinger will not get out of his “funny” role. You need to entertain the children, don't you?

Fortunately, for starters, Humdinger invited at least someone to his party. Marshall took the initiative to make him a cup, knowing the mayor well, and this is the first thing that stuck in my memory. The pups know how much Humdinger wants to win wherever he competes, so they gave him this gift.

Let's just say my expectations:

Kitten Marshall will get stuck in the piñata, Humdinger will worry and call the PAW Patrol, and they will pull him out.

Reality: well... Almost the same thing, only Humdinger appeared in his even funnier role with an unhealthy addiction to his piñata. Although, considering that the creators of the show always make him a child in the body of an adult, it is acceptable that he runs around with the piñata as if it was a new toy.

There was a lot of interaction between Ryder and Humdinger. I can't believe a man like Humdinger is the villain in The Mighty Movie, out to do harm with pups, huh, Cal Brunker?

The end of the episode was better than I imagined. I saw many episodes in which Humdinger was left with nothing, completely alone in Foggy Bottom. In the same episode, Humdinger felt happy for the first time in a long time, surrounded by gifts and familiar friends. True, I see hackwork on the part of the screenwriter here - Mayor Humdinger and Miss Marjorie were never friends. I was surprised to see her here, but Goodway, with whom he is definitely friends, was not there. It seems that at least some kind of extras were needed for the holiday, and it didn’t matter who would be there.

I'd say 9/10, although I'm not sure it would be my favorite episode. The main disadvantage is that Helga Humdinger was not on her son's party.

I can say a little less about the second one episode, because it was one of the passable ones for Humdinger.

Pups Stop the Foggy Skies

The only thing I would focus on is the character animation. It's outstanding as always, and there are a couple of good screenshots to be snatched from this episode.

The end of the episode is what it should always be for Humdinger. He screws up - he corrects it. Without the cruelty that was given to him in both films.

I guess I won't stop telling Brunker to fuck off now. He's ruined everything he touched.

The next two episodes will begin the superpowered pups arc in the show - not sure if I'm going to go into them because I hate that arc in the show. If they come up with something outstanding, great, but I wildly doubt it, and most likely that Cheetah and Harold will treat the mayor Humdinger like trash, and to show their strength, Humdinger will suddenly be made even more stupid than he usually is.

My 5 Fall Style Essentials

Originally written Oct 20, 2019

Autumn is my favorite season of the year! Growing up in D.C., my favorite activity was raking all the leaves on our lawn and getting to jump into them at the end. It was one of our unspoken traditions, something that I learned to look forward to every year. Now, living on my own, my love for all things Fall has grown exponentially. I have found myself being compelled to bring my camera with me everywhere to try and capture the aesthetics of Fall. A dim lit alley, leaves changing color on the trees on my street, or the multi-colored corn displays that pop up at every restaurant come October. The warm and cozy feelings that remind you of shorter and darker days, apple cider, fluffy sweaters, vivid and crunchy leaves, and watching nostalgic movies on the couch. Not to mention spooky season is in full effect, I drink everything out of a mug, and it's never a bad time to take a cute picture with pumpkins. My recent move from hot ass Texas to cold ass Pennsylvania has allowed me to finally participate fully in Fall fashion this year.

My style is vintage, thrifted, and upcycled. I hate paying a lot of money for clothes. I also have this recurring nightmare that I went to an event and someone else had on my outfit. If it's something that has high chance of being owned by many people, I do NOT want it. I usually buy clothes from a thrift shop, add some patches, distress, paint, deconstruct, and overall fuck up my purchases. Since I am usually in a thrift shop for everyday clothes, I tend to make my more expensive purchases staple items in my wardrobe. These staples are things I have for years, basically until the brakes fall off.

Here are 5 of my Fall style essentials to help anyone fight the cold and look dope too:

1) A Protective Style

Shoutout to all the Black people who get excited at the beauty supply when they find the perfect color braiding hair. This is a must-have come damn near every season but especially the cold and frigid Fall. Cold weather drys out my hair, leaves it brittle, and looking dusty. The style pictured to the right is my choice for the 2019 Fall season. I usually wear it in an updo so it's out the way, and when it's damp outside I put a headwrap on. Protective styling allows me to focus on having free hands, and cutting down on my morning routine. I also get to play around with my undercut. I can get some lines, some words, or a design on either side and/or the back of my head to add more individuality to this pretty uniform protective style.

2) A Pair of Boots

transportation to school and have had many a boot ruined by a step in a puddle, a drink spill, or any other terribly unexpected thing. I specifically like these boots because they are durable, comfortable, and cute! Having a white pair of boots might give most people anxiety, it makes me feel more dressed up. Whether stomping through a puddle, or running inside to escape the cold, I know my feet will look good. I don't buy shoes online unless they are thrifted and I ended up finding these Doc Martens for only $85 on Ebay! Make sure to stop by local garage sales, second-hand stores, or your stylish friend for some threads and shoe advice!

3) Denim, Denim, Denim

I am the stereotypical T-shirt and jeans sort of person. Not only are jeans comfortable, but also versatile. Denim comes in a variety of styles, washes, and can be de/re-constructed over and over again. I always have to hold back on distressing every new piece of denim I acquire or adding 100 patches to my newest denim jacket. I love to style denim in the Fall with muted colors like forest green, khaki, and patterns and prints like cheetah and camouflage. On top of denim going with just about everything Fall related, it is also a pretty thick fabric for chilly days. I use denim shirts or jackets to play with layering sweaters and t-shirts. And it always makes for a put together outfit when I am in a pinch. Simple, stylish, and comfortable.

4) Hats

A hat is a bedhead's best friend. Whether seasonal depression has you feeling tired, the cold got you uninspired, or if you just don't feel like even thinking about your hair; put a hat on. Hats have been one of my favorite accessories since middle school. Fedoras, dad hats, snap backs, wide brim, beanies, cowboy hats, all of em'. I have been in a very dad hat phase as of late and I've been pairing them with matching AF1s. I love matching pieces of my outfits with each other it makes me feel like I put that a little more effort and thought into the construction of my outfits. It also helps to keep me looking cute when I am in between haircuts. My hair grows back very fast and instead of trying to keep cutting it, I develop new ways to cover, protect, and easily style my hair. Stop spending money for more styles when you haven't even worn everything in your closet!

5) My Fanny Pack

Fanny packs have come back into popularity so they are so super easy to find at the thrift store, and come in tons of varieties. I bought my sparkly one specifically for Bonnaroo so it wasn't thrifted, but I love it. I never have to worry about having too much in my hands or losing anything because it is literally attached to my body. Convenient and stylish! How can you add your personality into the accessories you own? Are you student who commutes to campus everyday? Get a kick ass lunch box and HUGE tote bag. Work in a cubicle and have limited access to people throughout the day? Wear bright colored glass, or jewelry with colors you enjoy! Make your life more enjoyable and more stylish with your Fall staples. You are going to be wearing this fanny everyday, make it cute.

Style is like language, it is ever expanding and molding. No matter how drastic my style changes, some things never change. But remember: the best part about style is the power to create and express! Your look creates an avenue to add some creativity and color to your life! It's also so fun to dress up, to feel good about how you look, and to wear things that make you happy! Don't take yourself too serious and try to do new things with your wardrobe! But never forget the staples. Start with basics and then build and mold your style from there. You always want to make sure your pieces that could be used for many purposes and not just one. Also, recycle your clothes by either donating or up-cycling them! Do what you want: you will look great regardless.

Moving Forward - Chapter 47

*Warning Adult Content*

Max and Kyle

Max lay curled his duvet, mostly still asleep but awake enough to wonder why he was cuddling the blanket and not Kyle.

The sun shining through the curtain pulled him further out of sleep and he sighed.

With a wide yawn and a ridiculous stretch that was more of a waking-up-tantrum, he rolled out of bed, pulled on a pair of shorts and huffed.

Ah, there Kyle was, on the sofa with a cup of coffee in hand and staring out of the window despite the TV being on.

He was making a quiet growl and almost jumped at something before he restrained himself, close to spilling his coffee.

Max watched all of this from the bottom of the stairs, finding himself smiling at the show.

Was it a squirrel or a bird?

Maybe a cat.

"No breakfast?" Max asked, strolling further in.

He flushed as Kyle's eyes raked over him.

"It's noon, Thiago," Kyle said, coming up with a happy smile.

"Why? Are you hungry?"

"Always," Max said, leaning over the sofa to plant a kiss on Kyle's lips.

The ringing of Max's cell-phone parted them but that didn't stop Max from walking with more sway to his hips than was really needed, especially since he knew Kyle would be watching.

The phone was on charge in the kitchen, so Max leant against the counter, pulling it off the charger to answer.

"Maxy," Marie-Anne's voice lilted out.

"You'll never guess what just happened to me."

Finding himself smiling, Max winked at Kyle and then proceeded to make a cup of tea as he listened to Marie-Anne rant.

She was the only cheetah shifter he knew but the way she talked did make him wonder if all cheetah shifters spoke as fast as she did.

When she'd found out what had happened to Max last year, she'd cussed him out too fast for him to even parse out the words, made more difficult by the Nigerian accent that only came out when she got heated.

Max still wasn't sure if she'd only been speaking English.

A few day's after the phone call, Marie-Anne flew out and they spent a week in front of the telly, doing movie marathons and eating absolute crap.

"How're you?" she asked now, rant over.

"Just woke up, bab," Max said, frowning at his now-empty mug.

"The brain's not running at full power yet."

Marie-Anne hummed.

"Make yourself a cuppa tea, we both know you need it."

Doing exactly that, Max had to chuckle at how well she knew him.

"I know living with Dad would've driven me insane but it was kind of nice having some around that I didn't have to teach to make a decent cuppa."

Both Kyle and Marie-Anne protested that one but Max just laughed.

He stayed on the phone for another twenty minutes before Kyle got bored.

Max saw the beginnings of mischief in the way that Kyle prowled towards him.

"I'm gonna have to go, hun, Kyle's being funny."

They said their goodbyes and Max eyed his mate.

"What do you want?"

Kyle acted wounded in a playfully dramatic fashion.

"Is that any way to speak to your boyfriend?"

Max wrinkled his nose.

"It is when he's being a knob."

With a grin, Kyle grabbed Max around the waist, ignoring all of Max's protests.

He dumped Max on the sofa or tried to.

Max was struggling too hard for Kyle aim properly and they both ended up on the pile of cushions and blankets on the floor.

The wrestling that ensued was perhaps rougher than it would have been had either of them been human, Max happy to use his full strength to try to pin Kyle down, knowing that Kyle could rival him, pushing back with enough force to land Max on his back.

They didn't stop until they dislodged the coffee table with a loud scraping sound and they lay there, quietly giggling between them.

Max couldn't even look at Kyle without another laugh bubbling in his chest and Kyle would be set off by Max, having them break into another round of nonsensical laughter and then Max's stomach growled, which certainly didn't help.

"Go shower, stinky kitty," Kyle said, a wide grin on his face.

"I'll cook you up something."

Max could only smile, leaning over to peck Kyle's cheek.

Once clean, Max followed his nose back to the kitchen where Kyle had cooked up sausages, bacon and eggs.

"You want toast as well?" Kyle asked.

Max made a 'no' noise and almost shook his head but his hair was still damp and drippy.

"Thank you."

They fell into a companionable silence as they ate, neither man really one for talking through meals, which Max was grateful for.

In all his years, he still didn't get how people could have conversations whilst trying to fill their bellies without talking with their mouths full.

"I'm gonna go for a run, fancy coming with me?"

Kyle suggested once they'd cleaned up.

Satisfaction crept into Max as he took note of how Kyle was picking up his English idioms.

It was so smooth that even Kyle's drawling American accent didn't even trip over it.

Max almost purred.

"What?" Kyle asked, as Max took a few moments too long to answer.

"I fucking love you," Max murmured.

Kyle's whole demeanour changed.

Those dark eyes fully focused on Max as a wolfish grin revealed a pair of sharp canines.

"Running can wait if you'd rather go for a ride," Kyle said.

The terrible pun almost made Max cringe but the image it put into his head couldn't be ignored.

He took Kyle's collar in one hand, laying the other flat on Kyle's chest and with a low hum, Max kissed Kyle.

Just as Kyle went to deepen the kiss, Max pulled back.

"Bad pun penalty," he whispered, then legged it.

😂😂 i saw the tally. seems like people want them to work it out AGAIN

TPOL!JK

“is he gone?”

“yeah. how you holding up?”

“i’m alright. it was awkward and i didn’t need to be around”

“yes you do. he mentioned his son having a birthday party”

“i’m okay, jorja. i promise…so what were you going to say to me earlier?”

“uhhh…it was nothing. we can talk about it later. c’mon. let’s go home”

“okay”

jorja pays for the tab and threads your hands with hers before leaving the coffee shop and heading back home. since you’re both not working today, you both laze around all day and watch movies like mean girls, cheetah girls, and other enjoyable movies.

“we should be the cheetah girls next halloween”

“or mean girls. i wanna be regina george ” you say as you take your medicine in the kitchen while jorja looks for another movie the two of you could enjoy together.

“aw maaaann, we ran out of pineapples jo!”

“noooo” cried jorja who rushes in to see the empty pack of pineapple. “you wanna get more?” she asks giving you a side eye and you can’t help but giggle since you know she wants you to run to the store and grab some.

“ughhh, okaaayyy. i’ll be right back”

“I LOVE YOUUUU!!!!”

“whatever. i’ll be back” you say grabbing the keys and heading out in the car to drive to the nearest store to grab some pineapples for jorja and maybe a few more things for the home.

you arrive at the grocery store and browse around a bit before finding the pineapples and looking around for more things.

while you’re shopping around, you hear a baby whining not too far from you. actually, they’re directly behind you and you hear a lady telling the baby to calm down but the baby keeps whining and whining.

this baby is jaemin who is reaching for you and when you don’t look at him, he begins to cry until his grandmother puts him on the floor to walk around to which he walks directly towards you.

“jaemin, no! that’s not daddy” ji-ae says until she sees that it’s you he walked to.

“jaemin?! look at you! you’ve gotten so big!!” you say and you’re hesitant to hold him so you just let ji-ae take him from you and the 11 month old begins crying which makes jungkook check on his mother to make sure everything was okay until he sees you.

“i-i’m sorry” you say bowing before speed walking away from them which only makes jaemin cry harder for you.

“y/n wait!”

“y/n wait!” Jungkook says before he can stop himself, and it takes him by surprise because he didn’t expect to see you here and let alone Jaemins reaction.

He can’t see his baby desperately cry for you so he calls out for you to stay, and you stop in your tracks, Jungkook takes the opportunity to pick Jaemin up and he brings the fussing baby to you.

It’s so obvious that Jaemin wants to be in your warm familiar and maternal embrace. “He-He wants you to hold him yn.” Jungkook says, coughing mid sentence, he doesn’t know how to go on about this.

It’s so awkward especially because of the way his heart is fluttering so much, Ji-Ae doesn’t speak another words but just greets you, smiling ever so gently.

Jungkooks holding his child right infront of you, hoping that you’ll take him, “please!” Jungkook almost begs, Jaemins cheeks are flushed from crying.

He sees your eyes soften and you take Jaemin in your arms. Jungkook scratches the back of his neck awkwardly, while Ji-Ae excuses herself to go to the dairy isle.

It’s just you, Jaemin and Jungkook. And the baby giggles adorably when you hug him, and Jungkook smiles at the interaction because Jaemin settles his chubby little hands around your neck.

“Ahh look at him.. you make him so happy yn.”

Raaaaah-

Sorry for taking so long to answer!! But thank you for tagging me 🩵

Here we go!

Rules: answer + tag 9 people you want to get to know better and/or catch up with

Favorite color?

Blue!! Specifically slate blue :) It used to be brown/gray (though they are close seconds) but one day I was gifted a bunch of blue colored things and decided it was my color.

Last song?

Uuuh "PRIDE" by Kendrick Lamar. Got my younger sis into Kendrick after the whole Kendrick vs Drake thing and she was asking me to play his music while we were trying to solve the NYC Times Connections and Wordle today :)

Currently reading?

Nothing unfortunately </3 been spending more time writing and drawing than doing any reading.

Currently watching?

Again, nothing right now though I just finished a LOTR marathon with my siblings and I have plans to start watching The Acolyte soon!

Currently craving?

Was craving a strawberry poptart earlier and rummaged through the pantry and found one :)

So uh,, now I'm just craving the touch of another human being. Specifically maybe Wrecker and maybe like,, I could curl up on his chest and we could watch a movie together or something idk.

Coffee or tea?

Aaaa, I drink and love both but I'm going to have to go with tea- Don't get me wrong, I love coffee and will drink it nearly every morning (the only time I don't drink it is when I have classes in the morning because the caffeine makes my anxiety worse) but I only drink it for the smell. That and I drink it with like a 1:1 ratio of coffee and creamer so like,, I can only drink coffee if it's sweet. On the other hand, I can drink any and all kinds of tea. I'm Asian and I'm from Texas, of fucking course I'm going to love tea!! Can't go wrong with sweet tea, but peppermint tea and Thai tea are some close seconds!

Favorite Animal (Like hell I am going to ignore this!! The Wild Kratts would be ashamed if I did 🤭)

CHEETAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! Is and forever has been my favorite animal (Tasmanian Devil and Polar Bears are close seconds!). Idk what it was about them that younger me liked so much but I was utterly OBSESSED with them as a kid. To this day I forget that people weren't also obsessed with them so everytime I see something about people being surprised they like,, chirp and shit and aren't really scary I'm like,, "Are you fucking stupid or something?"

No Max, YOU are stupid. People don't know that they don't have retractable claws, that the tear marks on their faces cut the glare of the sun, that they have a large chest cavity to hold their big ass lungs, or that they use their tail for balance while running, or that their cubs are born with a pelt that mimics that of a honey badger to protect them, or that yes, there IS a difference between cheetah, leopard, and jaguar print, or that in captivity cheetahs are paired with dogs because they have MAD anxiety and don't know how to function without that support.

ANYWAYS-

I think,, last year? I went to the San Diego zoo again for the first time in a long time and got within a few feet with one of their cheetahs. I fucking,, I burst into tears man. It was surreal.

No Pressure tags!

General bayverse headcanons part 2

Splinter

A very light sleeper

Anytime something happens in the lair, he knows

He knows so many of his son’s secrets but act as if he didn’t to protect their feelings

Like that one time he saw Leo flex in front of his mirror (he never did it again because ‘what if it was Raph or Mikey’)

Or that one time he went to ask Donnie a question and realized too late he was having some... alone time... and Donnie tried to play it off to save what was left of his dignity: “haha no I’m not doing anything, I’m fine, how can I help you?” but left a tab open

Let’s just say Splinter knows way more about his sons than he wish he did

He feels honored every time one of them, or hell, April or Casey, come to him for advice or just to vent

He’s jsut so happy to know they trust him

He loves watching movies with them

Doesn’t really understand pop culture but is thrilled when they take the time to explain it to him anyway

He keeps every single drawing Mikey ever made him, he has multiple boxes of them and he keeps his favorite in his room

It takes so much space, but they’re really important to him

Raph made him a really soft scarf that he wears every time they go to the surface (it reassures him)

He also has a sweater and a blanket, and he loves bragging about them: “Oh, this? Yes, my son made it for me :) Isn’t he talented :)”

He finds Donnie’s smarts both impressive and intimidating

Sometimes he’s scared he will never truly understand him or that he won’t have anything else to teach him

But then Donnie comes to him when he can’t sleep or had a nightmare, and he feels warm inside

He’s really scared for Leo

He has so much pressure on his shoulder and so many responsabilities, he’s terrified he will break someday

But Leo knows he can count on his family to support him if anything turns sour and is learning to open up (thanks to Splinter)

All in all, he’s the proudest dad there could be and definitely bragged and showed embarassing memories to April and Casey when they joined the mutants

His favorite animal is the canary

April

Mom Friend ™ 

She’s the one to bring them snacks or useless trinkets they might like

Leo thinks it’s stupid and they should hoard that kind of things

(he does anyway)

She’s also the one to bring medical supplies to the lair when they’re getting short on them

She knows many people because of her job, and comes so often to the pharmacy that the people who work her eknow her and know to not ask too many questions

She doesn’t care about the sight of blood but the smell makes her sick

She still follows Splinter’s instruction when doing stitches and she took a few first aid courses with Casey

She’s the one who takes care of the biggest bugs of the lair

She’s also the one they all go to when they have an embarrassing question to ask (the kind of stuff you’re too embarrassed to ask one of your parents, no matter how close you are)

Doesn’t really listen to anyone, really

Except maybe Splinter from time to time

But like, if she wants to investigate something messy or dangerous, she won’t let anyone stop her

She won’t run straight into danger, she’s not stupid, but she’s not gonna back off just because it might be dangerous

“Okay, April, I’m sorry but you’ll have to sit this one out, it’s way too dangerous for a hum-” “She’s already inside”

 She’s brave like that <3

The best at Just Dance

Even beat Raph from time to time

She has a terrible singing voice tho and loves to scream-sing just because she knows it drives Leo crazy

Sometimes will get picked up by one of the boys and just acts as if nothing hapened and keep talking about whatever the conversation was while being carried around everywhere

Speaks 3 other languages to varying degrees of fluentness: Spanish (fluent), French (still learning but she’s getting there), Arabic (beginner)

She knows insults in a lot of other languages tho (you know, just in case ;) )

The only one who doesn’t pull pranks on Casey (she takes pity on him and he gives her kisses when she takes his side so win-win)

Her favorite animal is the fox

Casey

Pray for him

He’s so fed up with their sibling nonsense

He’s always in the middle of their fights and he’s tired of this

But he’s even more tired of being the victim of their endless pranks (especially Raph and Mikey)

The payback is worth it tho

Surprisingly good with kids

Especially troubled kids (he used to be one, so he knows what to say to help them)

Also really found of small animals

Unlike Mikey who talks to them as equals, Casey baby talks and it’s both adorable and kind of silly

He’s well known in most of the rescue centers of the city because he always brings in stray animals here

Also volunteer in some of them from time to time

He’s really conflicted because of all of the horrible things othe cops do  and he often wants to quit because of that

But if he leaves, he knows no one will try to make a change

He believes he can make things right and tries his best to callout his collegues when they say or do fucked up things

Also completely understand all the hate against cops, and don’t hesitate to let everyone know it’s justified when his colleagues try to play the victim

Despite his anger issues he tries to keep a level head when on the job

He wants to be a good cop, but being a good person is even more important (and almost got him fired multiple times, the only thing keeping him from that being his connection to Chief Vincent)

This is why he’s also doing his vigilante stuff at night

He knows that sometimes, the law won’t protect the most vulnerable people

But that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t

Once accidentally cut himself on the left with a piece of glass

He broke a glass jar, cleaned it up but forgot one little piece, and later stepped on it

It didn’t cut his foot, but he felt something under it and tried to get it off by rubbing his foot against his leg

Hence the stupid cut

Most of his scars aren’t really from his numerous fights, they’re just stupid injuries like that

His favorite animal is the cheetah

[cassanovancats]

felicitate. four.

March 2017

White Day is only a few days away when you begin to notice Rika’s form is absent from your training sessions lately. There shouldn’t be any reason for this, at least not one you’re aware of. Your class celebrated Yuta’s birthday just two days ago, and both the curse and cursed seemed fine, great even. You decide it’s best to bring this up casually - Yuta was still so skittish and Rika would be able to hear whatever you said anyways. So while you lead Yuta through a yoga session, you ask, “How’s Rika?”

He flusters and falls from his side-plank variation pose. The band he was using as an aid tangles around his calf. You debate and decide to leave him. If you touched him now, he might spontaneously combust. That thought makes you giggle a little. You move to change to a position that meant you weren’t looking at him. Hopefully, that’s less pressure.

Yuta speaks up when you’re fully downward dog, leading you to believe your plan worked. “She’s fine, yeah, fine. Just uh - tired?” You nod but inwardly roll your eyes. You shift your hips in to move to upward facing dog and make eye contact again.

“Just checking. I miss her hanging out, you know?” It’s obvious Yuta just lied, curses don’t get tired, but it’s better to not call him out this time. You just have to hope it wasn’t anything you did. “I know you fell but at this point you’re just slacking. Get back on your mat,” you say, changing the topic to something safe.

You’re back in downward facing dog when the door slides open. A familiar voice drawls, “Why are you still working out, dummy? Forgot our plans?” You scramble to your feet.

“Gumi!” You rush to hug him despite his obvious distaste. “What time is it? Do I still have time to shower or will we be late?”

Your little brother snorts and pushes you away, “Please do, you smell. You have,” he checks his watch, “fifteen minutes.”

“Gumi! That’s not enough time!” You yell, already sprinting towards the showers at the back of the gym. Yuta pouts at how quickly you seemed to forget his presence. That face doesn’t escape Megumi.

“So, you like my idiot sister?”

“W-what! No, no no no, it’s not like that! She just helps t-train me and -!” Yuta knows he’s rambling but he can’t seem to stop talking.

“Whatever,” Megumi has better things to worry about than repressed hormones. He's known that Yuta had a crush on you since the first time he came to campus to train with you after Yuta arrived. Your classmate couldn’t stop staring and seemed disheartened by the fact that you called Megumi by a shortened version of his given name. He had pouted until Satoru showed up and made a spectacle of ‘Team Gojo’ being all together again. Like you three didn’t, at minimum, have a weekly dinner together.

“If you ever want to acknowledge them, you’ll have to get approved by Satoru.” Yuta feels like he also needs the approval of this boy, but he leaves that unsaid. Just nods dumbly. Probably a good thing he didn’t respond, because you barrel through the doors you disappeared from.

When you rush past him, Yuta gets a strong whiff of the floral scent he’s come to associate with you. Megumi laughs under his breath at the blissed out look. Your hair drips water onto your tee shirt and it’s clear you rushed. “Really, really sorry to dip, Yuta. Run through those stretches we did last week to cool down!” Your fingers distractedly pull your wet hair into a braid as you instruct him. “Oh! Tell Maki I won’t be at afternoon training, Satoru already knows and gave permission. Megumi, grab my duffel?” Already carrying it, he rolls his eyes. “I should be back tomorrow morning, but don’t count on it.”

“Wait, but why -?”

“Gotta dash. Bye, Yuta!” You run ahead of your brother, headed to your room to grab Tsumiki’s gifts. Megumi gives a nod and follows after you. Alone and without anyone around to judge, Yuta groans and buries his face into his yoga mat. God, why can’t he just be normal.

When he looks back up, Rika has taken your spot on your mat. You left in such a hurry, you didn’t even clean up. He’ll have to drop it off in your room. “Ya’ know, it’s not that I’m mad about you liking her,” she begins. “It’s just…. I know we can’t be together so I do want you to be happy. I just feel jealous. Especially since you got her that super fancy chocolate for White Day,” Rika finishes with a pout.

Yuta doesn’t really know how to reassure her. So he does what he promised when he was ten, and is just honest. “I’m here to learn how to let you go, Rika. Neither of us know how to do that yet. I can’t be in any kind of relationship until I learn. It wouldn’t be fair to either of you.”

Rika hums and picks at the corner of your mat. “Well. I think it’s more than just us two you’re worried about.”

“What?”

“Inumaki seems pretty interested in the both of you too. You may not see it, but all three of you are pretty smitten. It’s actually kind of gross.”

“That’s - he - no!” Rika just laughs and dissolves her form. Yuta, still flustered, continues to mutter as he collects the things you left and wipes down any used equipment. When he finally leaves, it’s just his luck he runs (literally) into Inumaki who looks unfairly handsome in a fitted tee and sweatpants. Even his markings are uncovered, which makes Yuta groan, tuck tail, and run away. Yuta can hear Rika laughing in his mind.

“Tuna mayo?” Inumaki tilts his head to the side but shrugs off the odd behavior.

July 2017

JJH Thots the good gojo: guysss help which tie do i get :( fushiguro: isn’t satoru with you the good gojo: yea but u know he’s shit at gifts maki: Both of those are ugly, (y/n). Do you hate the man? osamu: the cheetah print trophy husband: I like that one too! the good gojo: this is why you two are my favorites

From a few cities over, Yuta flushes at your words. Inumaki notices and kicks his foot. He’s laughing when he says, “Nori,” but Yuta can spot a faint pink over the hem of his collar too.

You turn around in the middle of the street when you hear a loud, “(y/n)-chan!” Satoru is speed-walking towards you, waving an arm that is covered in different shopping bags. His long legs have him beside you in a split second, even without the use of cursed energy. “Are you done yet? Nanami won’t even thank you properly you know. Why don’t you just get gifts for your precious Nii-chan?” He pouts and takes the two bags you’re carrying.

“One, it’s not your birthday. Two, you could buy anything you want already. Three, who's to say I didn’t already get you one?” You pull a box of macaroons out from one of the bags he took. Satoru moves to snatch it immediately but you put it behind your back. Of course, if he wanted, he’d just grab it, but your Nii-chan would never deny playing a game with you. “You can’t get it until we’re back on campus! I’m already tired and this is my bribe to go home early.”

“But (y/n)-chan,” he whines.

“Nu-uh. I promised a movie night with Toge and Yuta and I don’t wanna be late.” You realize too late you revealed too much, because your brother suddenly looks like a very successful cat.

“Why didn’t you just say so? I would never make my little sister late for her first date.”

You blush furiously, “Who says it’s my first?”

“It better be your first.”

“It’s not even a date,” you roll your eyes. “Neither like me like that, and if it was a date, wouldn’t one be a third-wheel?”

“Tricycles are pretty fun.” Your brother says casually. You roll your eyes again and add a gag for good measure. “Seriously, (y/n). You should know you have my full support to love anyone and everyone you want. Not that you need it, though. You’re a Gojo. We do as we please anyways.”

You tear up at his sincerity and throw your arms around your brother, or at least the best you can with his bags in the way. The two of you are frequently physically and verbally affectionate but not often in such a serious manner. You know there’s a deep love between you; for a long time, the two of you only had each other. Eventually, your family expanded to include Megumi and Tsumiki, but neither ever took the Gojo name. You and Satoru had a special bond. “Thank you,” you stutter around tears. You hope he understands it’s not just a thank you for the reassurance but a thank you for giving you such a life.

“Come on, no crying. You can’t go on your date with puffy eyes, you’ll scare both of them away.” He pats your head softly and just laughs when you punch him in the gut.

UwU Hello, hope you're doing good! If it isn't much of a bother, could you please make fluffy dating headcannons about (Twisted Wonderland) Jack Howl with a S/O who's an energetic and childish cheetah beastman?

Please and thank you! ❤ :3

Aaaa this was so cute, thank you for the request!

Jack has a lot of energy himself, but he’s honestly amazed at how much you can run around without getting exhausted. He’s tried to keep up with you multiple times to make sure you’re not getting yourself into too much trouble but he’ll always run out of energy whilst you’re still bouncing off the walls

He does get quite worried sometimes when you run off without him and he can’t keep up with you. In reality he knows you’re able to look after yourself but he likes to keep you in his line of sight so he can step in if he feels he needs to and when you rush off with your boundless energy, it’s quite difficult to do so

He finds your childish side quite endearing, always pulling him off to things that catch your interest and looking at them with such awe and excitement. He’d never admit it out loud but he can’t help but find you so adorable when you’re concentrated on something that makes you happy

He finds it really cute when you do childish things like challenge him to races under the conditions that the last one to your destination is a “rotten loser”. He knows he won’t be able to beat you but he’ll never back down from a challenge

Of course, when you inevitably win, he’ll tell you he let you win and distract with the premise of a reward for beating him. He’ll take you to a nearby arcade and win you a prize from the claw machine which he’ll carry around as you get distracted by the other machines in the arcade and win your own prizes which he also has to carry

He’ll take you on dates to places like rock climbing centres or you two will hike up a mountain for a picnic. Really anything that involves a lot of activity to tire you out and keep you happy. He finds it absolutely adorable when he takes you to try something new and you are eager to learn whatever activity you are doing on that day

At the end of the day when you’re both exhausted, he loves nothing more than laying with you in his arms as you watch a movie, read, talk or just lay with each other. He loves all your energy and excitement but he also cherishes the moments where he can just relax with you curled up next to him

Prompt: "It's not a double date. We're just third and fourth wheeling." - Bucky x Reader Ft. Steve x Prism - Words: 1,683

"Please?" Your friend Prism begged you. "It's out first date but Steve's really nervous and, to be honest, so am I, and he'd really like a chaperone and-"

"Ok, ok! I'll do it!" You laughed. She let out a huge sigh of relief and hugged you tightly.

"You're a lifesaver, Y/N!"

Later that evening, you and Prism were heading downstairs to meet up with Steve for their date. "So where's he taking you anyway?"

"Not sure," She grinned. "Oh! And I forgot to mention! He said he's going to bring one of his friends too so it's not too weird. You know, just you? 'Third-wheeling'?"

"A friend?" You groaned as you walked out of the elevator into the lobby of the building. "As long as he doesn't bring-"

"Bucky!" Prism exclaimed excitedly, running up to her other friend. 

"Oh no," You said. "Why'd it have to be him?" 

"Well well well," Bucky smirked. "You didn't tell me you'd be bringing the stupid with you.” You rolled your eyes at his comment but decided to let it go. For now.

“Alrighty, then,” Steve said. “Shall we?” He asked, offering his arm to Prism. She grinned and took his arm, happily walking out with him. However, when you reached the door, Bucky let the door close in your face. 

“Oh I see how it is!” You yell, running out the door as fast as you can. “You want trouble?” You quickly shift into a cheetah and bolt ahead. Turning back as soon as you get in front of him, you pounce on Bucky, knocking him back and growling loudly. 

“What the-” Steve yells as Bucky shrieks girlishly. “Y/N! Down! Now!” You hop off and prance over to the couple, purring happily.

“What was that?” Bucky demands, getting up and dusting himself off. 

“Hi there,” You say, shifting back to yourself. Bucky looks utterly confused and you revel in the feeling. Steve shakes his head and sighs. 

“Ok, ground rules.” You realize that you may have gone a tad too far and so you listen quietly. “You two had better get along at least for tonight. It’s our first date for pete’s sake! Don’t make me regret not accepting Tony’s offer to be chaperone!” The rest of the walk to the restaurant was silent, at least from you and Bucky. You did notice he was watching you warily from the corner of his eye though. Thankfully, it wasn’t a long walk and you got there soon. 

“Oh! Italian! I love italian!” Prism exclaimed. Steve grinned and chuckled lightly.

“I figured everyone loves it, so,” He shrugged. “Safe option.” Dinner too went smoothly and before you knew it, the waitress was coming with the check. 

“One or two?” She asked.

“It's not a double date. We're just third and fourth wheeling,” You spoke up immediately. 

“Oh, well, um,” She stuttered. “I’ll just have to go re-split it. I-uh, hang on.”

“You’re new?” Bucky asked. She nodded nervously. “Just leave it in two.” She smiled gratefully and handed the two men their checks. 

“You didn’t have to do that, Bucky,” You said. “I have my own money too you know.”

“Yes,” He replied as he finished paying. “And I also am about to send you a request for your part of the check.” He tapped a few more things on his phone and you promptly felt your phone buzz. “Not too bad for a centenarian, huh?” You groaned loudly but sent him his money. He looked back at his phone with a smirk. “Finally seeing things my way?” His smile faltered, though, when he saw you’d labeled the payment ‘Medicare Payment’. “Now look here you little-”

“Stop it you two!” Steve growled. “I asked you two to come with us because you’re our best friends. Could you at least pretend to get along for one night? Please?” You both mumbled a quick ‘sorry’, genuinely embarrassed. It was their date night after all. After dinner, Steve decided to take Prism to a nearby roller rink that was, apparently, having a sock-hop night. The two of them immediately hit the rink while you and Bucky lagged behind. 

“I’m not so good on wheels,” You chuckled. Bucky laughed lightly and shook his head. 'He doesn't look so bad when he's happy,' You thought involuntarily. Realizing what you said to yourself, you shook your head slightly to push away the unwieldy thought.

“Me neither to be honest,” He replied. "Steve's always been better so you can guess how lousy I am." You chuckled and gave him a small smile across the table, falling into a surprisingly comfortable silence as you watched your two friends glide across the hardwood floor. Well, Prism glided. Steve, not so much.

A few days later, however, you found the truce from that night had very obviously expired. "What do you think you're doing?" You yelled, storming into the kitchen. 

"Whatsoever do you mean?" Bucky asked innocently, sipping on a cup of coffee as he sat next to Steve and Sam. 

"That is my mug, you dunce!"

"Oh it is?" He replied. "I didn't notice." He took another long sip, holding the mug with both hands to cover the 'Property of Blackmist' stamp on the bottom. 

"Give it back!" You yelled. Trying to grab it from him. Steve went to help you but Bucky slipped out of your grasps. Unfortunately, so did the mug. It went flying across the room and shattered on the floor.

"Doll, I'm so sorry," Bucky quickly apologized. You didn't hear him though, as all you could see was the mug your childhood best friend had given you shattered to a million pieces. You felt yourself get very angry very quickly but it was almost like watching a movie. You weren't really thinking. "Uh, doll? What are you doing?" Bucky asked. Your perspective seemed a little off, like you'd somehow gotten taller, but it didn't really register.

"Yep, this one's on you, Buck," Steve said, patting his friend on the shoulder and booking it. Sam just cackled and followed Steve.

"Ok, since I have no idea what's going on or what you're able to do, how about we just calmly discuss thi-woah!" You came running at him and went to punch him with your left hand. He ducked out of the way and that's when you realized what had happened. You saw a metal fist slam into the wall and felt the pain shoot up your arm. "Y/N?" Bucky called out carefully from behind you. You closed your eyes, consciously forcing yourself to return to normal, and turned around slowly. 

"I'm sorry," You whispered. Walking over to the broken mug you tried to see if it was possible to put it back together. 

"That was pretty special wasn't it?" He asked, still keeping his distance from you. You nodded and explained that Y/BFF/N had given it to you when you were teens. After gaining your powers, you had to move and really didn't see her anymore.

"I don't know exactly what happened. I've never done that before, turning into someone else and not an animal or something like that," You said. "I just got really angry and I guess I lost control of my powers. I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry," He said. "I haven't been very kind to you. You're a really nice gal and you do great work. I guess I haven't really given you a fair chance. Can we try again?"

"Alright," You smiled. Walking to the door together, you both were surprised when they didn't open. "Um, FRIDAY?"

"Captain Rogers ordered me to keep the doors to this room locked until you both, quote, 'realized how stupidly in love with each other you are.' To which Mr. Wilson added: 'And get your heads out of your butts long enough for you to realize that.'"

"Well," Bucky said, running his fingers through his hair nervously. "I guess we can use this as an excuse to spend some time together if that's alright?" 

"More than alright," You smiled. "Since we have the kitchen and living room area, how about I whip us up a fantastic brunch and then we play a few rounds of your favorite board game?"

"Really?" He replied, eyes lighting up. "Everyone else usually prefers movies or TV shows." You shrugged, getting out some eggs and bacon.

"Well, it's not that I don't love a good flick, but I guess I'm just old-fashioned that way. I'd prefer to talk over Clue or joke during Scattergories than veg in front of a screen." Bucky ginned widely and went to find his favorite game while you finished cooking. 

A few hours later, Steve and Sam stood outside the locked doors, trying to hear anything from inside. "Captain," FRIDAY suddenly asked. "Would you like to hear the audio feed from inside the room?"

"Yes please," He replied quickly, throwing a worried glance at Sam. "I just hope this was a good idea." Sam shrugged and didn't seem too worried.

"Barnes! You better watch yourself! You're going down!" They heard you yell. 

"Oh yeah? You think I'm gonna let a dame like you kick my butt? Ha!" Now Sam was worried.

"You think we should go in? They don't sound any better."

"I'm not sure, Sam. Maybe they'll work it-"

"No!" You screamed. "No! Stop that!"

"FRIDAY! Open the doors!" Steve was horrified at seeing Bucky pinning you to the ground near the coffee table. However, he was oblivious to the game and food set up around you.

"Bucky!" You squealed. "Stop tickling!"

"No way, doll! You build a hotel on Boardwalk, you pay!" 

"Boardwalk?" Sam mumbled. "Hey!" He called out. "You guys good?" Bucky rolled over, leaning back on his elbows next to you.

"Good?" You laughed, sitting up slightly as well. "We're better than good!"

"We're going steady!" Bucky grinned, giving you a kiss on the cheek.

"Steady?" The two men exclaimed. You laughed at their stunned reaction and grabbed the spare Monopoly playing pieces, holding them out.

"Now who'd like to get beaten at Monopoly Extreme?"
