#your honour he doesn’t know how to accept affection

[astro-can]

[gay-dorito-dust]

Hiii Author :D this is actually my first request, but could I ask for homocipher (especially my bb MR Crawling 🥺) when you kiss them for the first time pls and thank u 🙏

Mr Crawling

Sweet boy is giggling, blushing and kicking his long ass legs after staying unsettlingly silent for five minutes.

He’s on cloud nine the moment you pressed your warm lips against his as sweetly as you did. He didn’t know what that thing you were doing exactly, kissing was a foreign concept to him but all he knows is that he wants you to do it again and again for eternity.

Kissing this cutie is a little sloppy when he’s trying to imitate you, but you can’t get mad at him when he’s smiling and giggling in happiness that he got to reciprocate the happiness you give him.

Seriously this man has become ten times more clingy as he’s smothering you in hugs while chirping and purring in your ear, nuzzling his face against your own.

Mr crawling will double, no triple you in affection and you’re legally not allowed to move until he’s done kissing every inch of your face and neck. He just wants to make you happy and if kissing is one way to do it then Mr Crawling will do it continuously and it’ll never get old.

He will honour the kiss forever and ever and ever.

Mr Scarletella

Captain of the S.S Delusional over here.

You’re not helping his obsession with you. Not one bit after kissing him lightly as now he fully thinks this is you accepting his love and affection, letting him inside your heart as your one and only.

So have fun trying to get him off your back when he’s muttering shit like ‘mine. Love. Mine. Love. Mine. Love’ under his breath as he towers over you as you realised that this man was near inescapable.

And I mean he’s inescapable the moment you gave him that innocent little kiss on his lips. He’s smiling to himself as he runs his fingertips over his lips, still feeling your own there as his mind creates scenarios where your sat in his lap, kissing him to your hearts content and confessing your love for him.

So if you thought he was bad before, he’s fucking worse now and there’s little chance of escaping him. So good luck with all that, you will need it.

He won’t do anything to his lips in fear he’d wipe your kiss away, he’s savouring it and has the memory framed in his head as his most precious moment.

Mr Silvair

Kissing is a concept he’s not privy to and so he’s seeing this as a potential experiment he could delve into deeper.

All for science is the motto for this dude I’m afraid. Mr Silvair doesn’t feel much outside of that and an occasional warmth that he pushes aside frequently.

He’ll probably ask you to do it again, not because he wanted you to but because he’s curious as to how each and every kiss feels, believing that each one has a different meaning behind them. He’d might even indulge in what sort of stimuli could trigger you to made such a bold move on your own accord.

So to him it wouldn’t mean as much as it would for you unfortunately but that’s not going to stop him from asking for more kisses, and or creating scenarios where kissing him was the ultimate goal, and all for science experimentation.

Totally not to satiate the need to feel the warmth those kisses gave him if only briefly. 👀👀

Mr Gap

This dude doesn’t want a kiss, he wants your heart and not in the romantic sense.

You kissing him felt weird and he didn’t know whether to like it or hate it. So he mostly stays indifferent.

Seriously he’ll experience the kiss, scrunch his face up and still ask for your heart. Affection doesn’t exist within this dude at the slightest, and if it did it’s not by very much at all.

So kissing him wouldn’t exactly do much and he wouldn’t bother to reciprocate either, he’s still as fuck too so you might as well be kissing a stone statue.

Seriously. I’m not joking. I wish I was but I’m not.

heaven | r.l.

i don’t know what this is… not a fic, more like a word vomit about remus loving you HAHA enjoy <3

Remus Lupin wasn’t religious in one way or another. But even he knew you were godsent. 

Passed out, lying with twisted limbs and a drool-filled mouth; you looked nothing short of an angel.

He touches you, you don’t stir. That’s good, he thinks. It means he has more time to love you without having to accept undeserved affection in return. 

He’d asked the question a thousand times, thought about it even more. Why me? And you’d smile at him like he wasn’t a monster, like he wasn’t born to kill. Who else? you’d say. And that’s when Remus realised that it doesn’t take kindness to love somebody; all it takes is that ache in your heart and burn in your fingertips. He wasn’t kind; yet he loved you.

The tips of his fingers dance across your cheek, feeling the soft skin on which his lips had made their home. He has unordinary courage tonight; he dares to bring his other hand to rest on the curve of your hip.

He brushes his thumb, featherlike, underneath your shirt. His shirt. You make a soft sound, and it’s all he needs to hear to know what heaven sounds like.

Remus had never felt like yours was more than a title until he met you. He was yours, yours to love, yours to break, yours to throw away. He belonged to you, and that was the greatest badge of honour any man could wear. He wanted you to touch him, make your mark upon him until it burnt, and he’d thank you for branding him with the etch of your thumbprint.

You were perfect; in every sense of the word. He’d learn every tongue till he was fluent in showing you how utterly divine you were. The dark lines on your thighs didn’t bother him nearly as much as they did you, and neither did the scars. He cursed himself reverently for his own; but never yours. Every mark on your being was a part of you, every inch of your skin a holy grail he’d read without complaint.

He’d worship you if you’d let him. Let his hands find their haven in every nook and crevice of your perfect body, whisper feverish words of cadence and cruelty till you screamed his name. You allowed him to touch you; and that was enough for now.

As he feels you now, mindlessly splaying his hands on your bare back, your eyes flutter open. Remus doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to the jerk of his heart stopping when you look at him like that. You reach for him with a smile even in half-lidded consciousness; he goes without protest because it’s you.

He knew forever wasn’t a word meant for lovers. But for now, he can hold you in his arms and hear your heartbeat when you pull him in. You'll let him tell you he loves you till the grave, and that is compensation enough.

𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐬 | (𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 2)

➳❥ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Kuchiki Byakuya, Hitsugaya Toshiro, Shuhei Hisagi, Aizen Sosuke, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, Coyote Starrk

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Part 1 | Part 3

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

◈ Kuchiki Byakuya — Subtle Gentleman Simp

˚₊‧꒰ა You have his entire heart and soul the moment he decides to pursue you. There’s no such thing as doubt when it comes to his affections, he is secure with his feelings towards you and will accept no criticism.

˚₊‧꒰ა He will gift you poems he personally stayed up all night writing because you’re the only person worth losing sleep over. His gestures and signs of affection will be subtle but meaningful, and he always prefers to present his gifts to you in person to observe your reactions.

˚₊‧꒰ა “Allow me to assist you. It would be my honour.” The door opened, chairs pulled out, carpet rolled, an arm out for you to take—you name it and Byakuya will see to it that it is possible. His gestures will reflect his elegant and noble upbringing. He might present you with a beautifully arranged bouquet or a new kimono made from the finest cloth.

˚₊‧꒰ა Never speaks about your relationship with others, it remains private. What transpires between you two is your business, so you will never have to hear rumours or whispers floating around. It is one of his many ways of displaying his protectiveness.

˚₊‧꒰ა When it comes to verbally expressing his love, there’s no denying that his words are raw and filled with passion and devotion. You were his everything and the centre of his life. He prefers to express them during private moments when you are invited to his estate and having tea or lunch. “You are important to me. I hope you know that.”

˚₊‧꒰ა Prefers to keep his duties as a shinigami private, not wanting to worry you with his activities that nearly cost him his life or rendered him immobile. The look on your face when you worry or tear up is something Byakuya doesn’t like at all. He believes tears or worry should never be of your concern, you should be happy and smiling always.

˚₊‧꒰ა To Byakuya, if someone were to let him know that he was a simp, he would simply shake his head, denying the terms and claiming that he was merely doing what anyone should when in love with another. Probably one of the rare times he has openly expressed his emotions.

◈ Hitsugaya Toshiro — Tsundere Simp

˚₊‧꒰ა Even with his tsundere personality, he’s mature and it shows in how he cares for you in subtle ways. He might bring you lunch because he enjoys your company but doesn’t want to outrightly say it, so he would probably resort to a lie. “It’s not like I care or anything, but I noticed you forgot your lunch, so I brought you something.”

˚₊‧꒰ა Get flustered when Matsumoto brings up his feelings, whether you’re around or not. Often, he can be found stammering and blushing like crazy, threatening to turn the entire division into an icy tundra if she didn’t shut up.

˚₊‧꒰ა Protective yet constantly in denial but downplaying his actions. “Stay behind me. It’s not because I’m worried about you, it’s just my job.” Yeah, sure right. That’s his famous excuse anytime he doesn’t want to get busted, or he did get busted.

˚₊‧꒰ა If you were ever in the same room with him, he would S T A R E at you from across the room once you weren’t aware, and if Matsumoto noticed and called him out, the entire room becomes an icy blizzard. If there’s a window, he might jump out instead.

˚₊‧꒰ა Ah yes, the jealous little icicle doesn’t appreciate when you talk about the time or activity you do with others. The entire time he’s wondering if to pay that person a visit and turn them into a popsicle. Instead, he grumbles, “Why are you spending so much time with them? That’s distracting.” As if spending time with him won’t be the same…

˚₊‧꒰ა Receive his sweet acts of kindness with a teaspoon of grumpiness to hide his embarrassment. Would offer you something and look away to hide his blush. If you tease him, he will mutter about not getting the wrong idea. At the same time, he will dish out compliments with a side of teasing to mask his softness.

◈ Shuhei Hisagi — Shy Simp

˚₊‧꒰ა If ever you need someone to spend some quality time with in peace, Hisagi is your guy. With him, the quietness isn’t awkward at all since it prevents him from saying or doing anything awkward yet enjoying your presence.

˚₊‧꒰ა He’s a bit shy and humble about his feelings, often downplaying his actions and blushing when complimented. He’ll dart his eyes around, looking anywhere but you as the redness in his face grows intensely. “It’s nothing, really. I just wanted to help.”

˚₊‧꒰ა As shy as Hisagi is, he is undeniably supportive and encouraging. Quiet yet meaningful words of encouragement, never letting anyone else say otherwise and will stand up for you. The sweetest cheerleader ever.

˚₊‧꒰ა You get the opportunity to be first in line when listening to him play his newest pieces. He would hesitate to ask if you wanted to listen, but the gleam of excitement in your eyes would melt away his fear. He would happily sit for hours playing his guitar for you.

˚₊‧꒰ა He thinks about you quite often and makes the effort to spend time with you during his breaks, be it lunch, having tea, sparring with you, or even walking you back to your room. You would also receive a few tokens from him aside from a new song, like a new obi of your favourite colour.

˚₊‧꒰ა He goes weak when you make the first move to hold his hand or trace his tattoos. Any form of physical affection makes his knees buckle, and to make it even better, call him by a nickname you made for your personal use.

˚₊‧꒰ა He’s so caring and sweet, such a cutie pie. Always looking out for your safety and well-being. If you’re scared of the dark, he won’t make fun. If you prefer your food to be a certain temperature, he’ll understand. If you have allergies, say no more.

◈ Aizen Sosuke — Manipulative and Obsessive Simp (obvious ain’t it)

˚₊‧꒰ა This man gives such a yandere aura when it comes to how obsessed he is with you and will rarely overtly act as a ‘simp’ in the traditional sense, instead positioning himself as a figure who is ‘above’ such displays, all the while secretly swooning over you.

˚₊‧꒰ა He’s always watching—not in a creepy stalkerish vibes—and carefully studying you, making mental notes. If you catch him staring, he’ll give you this bemused smile as though you’re missing the obvious.

˚₊‧꒰ა It feels as though he’s always hypnotising you each time he speaks—he’s not even purposefully doing so, it’s just Aizen, a natural at swooning anyone with his voice and charm. His words always ensnare your thoughts and sometimes hold an unsettling level of devotion. “You intrigue me, more than anyone I’ve ever met. I find it difficult to pull away from you. Not that I want to.”

˚₊‧꒰ა “Interesting I find you here on one of my evening walks. Perhaps share this time with me?” As if he didn’t coincidentally plan the encounter, and the majority of the others, to pass them off as accidents. Nothing is random with this man.

˚₊‧꒰ა Listen, this man lives to make you flustered and then act smug about it—he knows what he’s doing. Like what is the reason for standing chest to chest, hand cupping your chin, tilting your head upwards to meet his eyes, lips inches apart, just to tell you, “I’ll be heading out today, be safe.” (so we weren’t going to kiss ⚆_⚆)

˚₊‧꒰ა If you show any form of affection or interest in him, he’d pretend to be nonchalant, but his mind is racing with a thousand schemes to deepen the connection and ensure that you never stray. “I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. After all, I have a way of making people see things my way. But it is nice to be noticed in such a way.”

˚₊‧꒰ა Please, don’t go talking to another person and showing interest or letting them show interest (for the sake of that person). His jealousy is SO subtle but unnerving. You could feel the lasers from his eyes melting that person a thousand times over—it’s impossible to miss.

˚₊‧꒰ა “You belong with me, don’t you? I’ve always known it.” You are a part of his plan as his equal. It’s one of his ways of ensuring that you are well-protected and looked after. As twisted as his feelings might be, he has the obsessive need to have you by his side.

◈ Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez — Aggressively Seductive Simp

˚₊‧꒰ა He’s aggressive from start to end with his compliments and actions, but they’re seductive. He’ll mess up your hair, lightly push you around/manhandle to show his affections. “You’re tougher than you look. I like that.”

˚₊‧꒰ა Tends to come off as emotionally constipated because in a way he is. Knows that he’s interested in you but isn’t one for those things humans call love and doesn’t know how to properly express it. He does have his unexpected softness, like giving you a coat or blanket if you’re cold. “Here, take this. It’s not like I care or anything.”

˚₊‧꒰ა His concerns come off as aggressive but toned down. “Don’t hurt yourself brat!” “Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish or something?” “If you touch me, I’ll fight you!” “Let’s fight to see who’s stronger!” That last one was only because he wanted to be close to you.

˚₊‧꒰ა He bites. He bites but will purr if you stroke his hair and then jerks away because you caught him slipping. Silently judges but loves the attention he receives.

˚₊‧꒰ა Loves to stand behind you and whisper in your ear with his deep ass voice but holds you by your waist so you can’t escape his grasp. He gets off on watching as you shiver. The compliments are worth making your knees buckle because they aren’t for the faint–hearted. “I don’t do this for just anyone, so consider yourself special.”

˚₊‧꒰ა Loves to admire you in your attire and asks you to do a twirl so he can see every inch of you. Grimmjow will also place his hands on your waist and make you face the mirror to stare at your beauty. Bites and licks his lips when he looks you up and down.

˚₊‧꒰ა Grimmjow’s eyes are always locked on your figure no matter where you are. You can feel his eyes roaming your body—he likes to say it’s for protection reasons. Hates to admit the truth whenever he's called out, but he’s also a jealous kitty—ready to fight any and everyone.

˚₊‧꒰ა Goes to find you every time he leaves for a mission and when he returns, he holds you close and breathes in your scent. He’ll bury his nose into your hair and press your body close to his, murmuring about how he missed your smell and you’re his.

◈ Coyote Starrk — Laid-back Simp

˚₊‧꒰ა His form of affection would be so relaxed and casual—there’s no need for him to rush or display his interest in any grand forms of affection. A pat on your head, a gentle arm around your waist or him resting his chin on your head, as he pulls you in close.

˚₊‧꒰ა Cherishes you and your company once he realised that you weren’t vaporising anytime you stood beside him and often invites you to join him for a nap or to relax. He likes the warmth you bring. “It’s nice having you around. Makes things less…lonely.”

˚₊‧꒰ა Would keep you safe from any hollows and the other Arrancar who decided to harm you. Not wanting to get into any conflicts, but only because you were important to him, he would get serious.

˚₊‧꒰ა Starrk has a way of giving you…unenthusiastic compliments though they mean well and are sincere. It’s just that his tone of delivery is nonchalant and his expression mimics boredom, however his eyes are soft.

˚₊‧꒰ა He’s not one to hover, preferring his silence and alone time, yet he always lets you know that if you ever need him, don’t hesitate to come find him and let him know. He’s always around.

˚₊‧꒰ა You have to deal with Lilinette too often whenever you’re around him. The constant teasing and poking about how soft Starrk was, or how you had him wrapped around your finger, earned her a scolding from him. She enjoys setting you two up in awkward situations just to get a laugh out of it.

˚₊‧꒰ა Occasionally, you will see his seriousness making an appearance. Mostly after a near confrontation with another hollow and you almost being severely wounded, or an argument, he would express his care and concern. “I may not show it often, but I care about you.”

“you need to belong to you”

romanticise yourself, not celebrities:

i’ll start by saying that fans sexualising the one direction members at liam payne’s funeral, as if it was not a funeral but a normal appearance is truly disheartening and disgusting. it shows how far we have strayed away from ourselves, how far we have strayed away from basic human decency, empathy and understanding. fans singing ‘strip that down’ after he passed away in his memory or supposedly to honour him needs to be studied too (like literally, there’s no way people are that stupid, it’s like our ability to understand what’s appropriate and what’s not has been completely erased from within us). another thing is how after he passed away everyone started harassing his ex girlfriend who talked about his allegedly abusive behaviour as if it was her fault. “he was so much receiving hate” or maybe he was being held accountable for something that he may have done? it’s always ‘girl’s girl’, ‘women support women’ and ‘always believe the victim’ until your favourite is involved.

also, something that has been really acceptable recently (especially in the entertainment industry) has been home-wrecking. i genuinely think that the man is more at fault in such situations but that doesn’t mean that we don’t hold the woman accountable because it is very dishonourable to be attracted to unavailable people even if they are the ones coming onto you. even if you’re attracted, you’re supposed to have enough self respect and discernment to not just go with the flow of emotions and instincts. the most unfortunate of it all is how we abandon basic human decency and morals in order to defend these celebrities. yes, i’m talking about people who make excuses “but she just dated someone’s ex”. yes, two weeks after the guy had a break up with his previous girlfriend and they were already talking. also, being with a man who has a son who’s around two years old and an ex girlfriend (a single mother at that), and singing “too bad your ex don’t do it for you” is just not it. it is their life and they’re celebrities, and this is not intended to be a post of hatred. i just hope that us humans as a collective have the understanding of right from wrong. let’s stop over-idealising celebrities and defending everything they do. taeil, a former nct member who turned out to be a sex offender despite his sweet and innocent public persona, and the burning sun scandal are all proof of how illusionary it all truly is. the diddy situation is proof that maybe just maybe, your life is better than theirs. yes, you may not possess enormous wealth or fame, you may not be regarded as a sex icon, or whatever it may be.

let’s learn how to see our blessings in the present moment even if it is hard and especially learn how to center our lives around ourselves. we are allowed to look up to celebrities, watch them and like them but let’s not separate from our life, truth, morality and integrity in favour of celebrities - ranging from pop stars to k-pop idols to actors and actresses. we should not think that we are better than them either but we should know ourselves enough to know that we are as great as we can be, that will come with time and practice. lastly, we should become less digital and more present, go out for a walk, try and touch grass even if it’s by yourself, without the company of anyone else. learn how to make a star of yourself. you do not need to be a celebrity or even just good looking to try and be your best self. now read the previous line again, the goal is to be ‘your best self’ and the first step to being that is going to require being yourself first. also, being your own because the body is just a vessel, do you really belong to you or are you easily consumed by others and circumstances? it is impossible to not be affected by your circumstances and surroundings at all but two people who go through the exact same situation or similar ones will come out of it differently - one will be at a loss, unable to even have a personal moral code or values, or even if they want to be a certain way, feel a certain way or maintain a certain mindset and life, they aren’t able to do so while the other person will grow to become more whole, they develop stronger morals and values, and are not only able to live accordingly but also instill the same onto others, not by words but through actions because nothing is more effective than leading by example. so, you need to belong to you, always. even if you admire others, you need to belong to you. even if you are curious about others, you need to belong to you. even if you desire connections, you need to belong to you.

FRESH MANNA

ABUSE IS UNACCEPTABLE 2

Romans 13:10

When we condone something, it easily becomes widely acceptable and overlooked or seen as normal and we begin to justify it.

Not all abuse is visible and isn’t always easily recognized. Deception is a form of abuse, which is how many suffer in abusive relationships unawares.

Abuse may cause pain or rob one of their personality, identity, possession and character and unfortunately, their life. Abuse may leave scars on the skin or the heart.

Abuse may be superficial, a careless comment, or a lifetime wound resulting from a neglected or mismanaged trust. Abuse requires an abuser and a person who has been abused.

Insults are abusive. Harsh words are abusive. Yelling at someone is abusive. Rape and sexual assault are abusive. Attacking someone physically is abusive. Abuse can be aggressive, but it may also be regressive, a steady depreciation of human worth, like dripping water wearing down a rock.

If we obey Christ’s command in John 13:34 to love others as he loves us, we would have no reason to abuse them. Emotional abuse can be difficult to detect because, on the surface, there is no observable evidence of the abuse, but that doesn’t mean the effects are any less painful or destructive. Examples of emotional abuse include verbal attacks, criticism, favouritism, manipulation, deceit, threats, and withheld expressions of love.

Whether the abuse is aggressive or subtle, there’ll still be pain and tears and God says in Psalm 9:12 that He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer and He’s always with us according to Psalm 23:4 that Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

Romans 12:10 says to love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honour not by abusing them.

What the Lord wants us to do according to Romans 15:1-2 is simple, He says “We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbour for his good, to build him up” and not use our strength as a weapon against the weaker person.

As Eziekeil 36:26 says, God can give us a new heart, He can transform the abuser’s heart of stone into a compassionate, considerate and loving heart. The abuser can change, becoming truly transformed by God’s Spirit. The person who has been abused, through Christ, can forgive the abuser and find true healing. This allows the cycle of abuse, which can become multigenerational, to end.

But God only grants healing, through forgiveness and a changed way.

Anyone can be an abuser, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or background. Victims of abuse can be ensnared in a cycle that is very difficult to break. Children have no responsibility for abuse suffered in childhood but often carry its effects into adulthood by repeating the patterns. Children need to be protected from abuse. Abusive parents are cursing their children rather than blessing them as they ought according to Psalm 112:2 and Proverbs 20:7.

We must love because love restrains us from abusing others as violence or abuse against a loved one is a clear signal that our love for that person is not genuine.

There is hope for survivors of abuse. Knowing and accepting that God is for you, loves you, and wants to protect you will help you see how precious you are in his sight. God’s word is full of comfort, direction, reassurance and healing for survivors, so, if you find yourself in an abusive relationship, know you are not alone.

PRAYER: Lord, may I always be careful of my words and actions so that I don’t abuse others in any way in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Shalom

dating jj maybank

jj maybank x gender neutral. reader

word count: 1.8k

cw: headcanons, overall domestic fluff, angst if you squint till ur visions blurry, mentions of poor emotional expression, mentions of sex / sexual innuendos, mentions of fighting / injury, strong pda, kissing, consensual groping, swearing, soft!jj

okay so this is the first time i’ve ever written dating headcanons so i’m gonna try my best

• jj and expressing emotions are a very complicated duo and almost everyone knows it, including you. he knows how he feels for you, and feels it strongly, but the way it comes out of his mouth is like gibberish and completely not understandable. 

“so you know — like — i don’t know, man. i feel heavy for you, like do you feel heavy for me, too?”

“jj, i don’t even know what heavy means in this context and what you’re referring to.”

• but he comes from a good place, and you come to know, learn and love that, because well he loves you, and with jj you just have to infer by his mess of words.

• this boy tries to be as romantic as possible but he’s literally never had a s/o before. the only thing he knows are one nighters so there is a lot that pope and john b advise him on because miscommunication is quite literally the worst. (stated by john b himself)

• for this instance and the sake of the headcanons: you are a member of the pogues, through and through.

• so most of the time you’re together, the pogues are there too. even dates. they love to occupy and jj could shout at the top of his lungs how they are the biggest cock-blockers to ever exist and they would not care. 

• so at that point he doesn’t even try to keep his hands to himself, he will touch you or quite literally make out with you in front of anyone and everyone he can.

• i mean he can get a little protective. (also considering he would never let you around his dad because he wants to protect you and would never let you near anyone that could hurt you) 

• i mean this guy would fight for you till the very end; punches thrown countless of times and harsh words absolutely shouted more times than you could count on your fingers, but no matter how many times you chastise jj, he would never stop to defend your honour because at the end of the night you’re the one playing with his hair and kissing his cuts and bruises.

• especially after everything as well with rafe, topper and the kooks he just wants everyone (including the tourons you see once a millennium) to know that you and him are romantically involved and you are very much taken.

• he even lets the most irrelevant people know the both of you are dating because he loves you that much:

“okay, babe, here me out—”

“jj a whole group of kids just asked me about our relationship! i love you, but the whole population does not need to know that we’re together.”

“obviously we can't tell the whole population! or I would, duh.”

•  even though he could blabber on about everything about you, including what shampoo you use and which perfume of yours is his favourite, affection is more his style: 

• this includes walking around with his hand in your back pocket because wearing anything but jean shorts is really not an option in that heat, (and this does include ass grabbing at every opportunity he can)—

• — his hand gently placed on your thigh while driving / while he’s next to you, interlocking pinkies 98% of the time as you walk together —

• — and peppering kisses is always happening. whether they’re ticking at your checks, suffocating your neck or affectionately placed on your forehead he’s always kissing you.

• other key, and essential, things that come to mind are that his arm is always around you; after everything that’s happened to him he just needs to physically know you’re there and that’s enough to subdue him.

• it’s almost routine for him arm to go around your waist or your shoulder, whether you’re tall or short, tbh he doesn’t really care, his arms and lips are always on you.

• dating jj is dating a teenage boy with absolutely no impulse control and zero control over what he says—

“I mean, dude, if you think about it, why isn’t a banana called a yellow if an orange is called an orange? and why are phones called ‘telephones’ like who the fuck came up with that crap?”

or

“i mean, hey, we could bang out here and it’s not like anyone would know. like jb could be out in the living room and be like clueless.”

“jj, there’s two windows pointing directly at us. i think he would know.”

• —if you don’t understand then he definitely does not either.

• you also flip each other off a lot and people are like ??? but you both are like — fuck you —(affectionate & full of love with my middle fingers)

• one thing he does know is how to flatter you, whether he’s obnoxiously winking at you or bringing you flowers with his tips from work, or he picked them himself, it’s all in the effort.

• any effort from you is like kids getting their favourite toy they’ve been wanting on christmas, for instance: anytime you bring him food, or offer to stay with him at john b’s is like swelling up his heart to the maximum.

• so when he’s not with you, or the pogues, which is rare he is outside. and jj is like diego the explorer he always finds little places just for himself, or for this instance with you.

• so a lot of dates include going to these secluded spots: sometimes it’s a picnic, or a walk, and stargazing is his absolute favourite as he listens to you drone on about the constellations and even just watching the sky with your presence next to him is so comforting and makes him feel safe. 

• of course when the pogues find out they’re brutal with their teasing.

“awww, look at the cute and happy couple!”

“my wittle babies, growing up so fast.”

“god, kie, you make it sound like we’re five?!”

• speaking of alone time, jj loves to cuddle when you guys are alone and that’s one thing he’s not fond of being teased about.

• his head is firm on your chest, his arms wrapped around your waist and his leg flung over your hips. to him it’s just a perfect way to start and end the day.

• he also loves to watch movies while cuddling and he has a set of movies and their genres completely memorized for the occasion.

• he has such a good memory to the weirdest things. like he can state in the exact order your makeup routine, or talk about all the caves and sinkholes in yukatan but ask him how many states there are in america and he’s completely bummed.

• back to what i was saying, cuddling and movie times together.

• he’s the little spoon i will not argue with anyone about this, especially if something happened that day.

• like if rafe pissed him off, some kooks stepped on his toes, his dad had been particularly agitated that day or he was just frustrated. your embrace is what keeps his together. he just loves the feeling of your arms around him, essentially protecting him.

• and the pogues always get a kick out of it when they see you too snuggled in the morning. they even take pictures, a lot of pictures of everything and anything they can. 

• their fav times to take pictures is when you both are off guard: like when he’s putting his hat on you, he’s sharing his juul with you, you guys are laying together on the boat or maybe your surfing together in the water.

• he’s surprisingly intimate about everything even though they’re such mundane things for him.

• he expresses his love for you by actions rather than words. for example, he has a guitar (an absolutely beat up one with missing strings and chipped wood, but he says it has more character that way as well as your signature on the back of it)—

• —and just strums it for you absolutely whenever and however your mood is because no matter what its always calming. sometimes he even hums a little tune or starts singing a bit.  

• another few ways he depicts his love for you is by shoving his baseball hat on your head (the one that absolutely nobody is allowed to wear) because he doesn’t want you frying in the sun or dying of heatstroke.

• a lot of his tank tops are now yours because they’re so comfortable and you can wear them literally anywhere.

• he shares, only with you but, he shares. his rings are on your fingers, his bandana is around your neck, his boxers are your sleep shorts, and he absolutely eats that shit up.

• he also gets extremely comfortable with you, like even more than john b in a way. example: you could just be chilling, his arm wrapped around your neck and — boom — he’s shoving your face in his armpit and trying to tickle you.

• it gets to the point where the pogues are so used to it and sometimes even they join in because they even like being included in on your affections but would absolutely rather drown than admit it. they love watching their two best friends love grow for each other, and they're happy jj has found sanctuary to love and be with someone freely. 

• speaking of love, jj is also like a puppy: praise, reassurance and kisses are the way to his heart and staying there.

• i’m gonna say it, jj has self confidence and love issues. they are not detectable at all but with his mother gone and the way his father treated him, there’s shit buried in his heart that it takes awhile for him to open up about.

• once he does: he cries, and he cried a lot. but after that it was like never letting go again. he trusts you with his whole heart and soul and he knows you won’t take advantage of that.

• the way you both accept each other into each others lives is so important to him no matter where you live, who you are and what your family is like everything counts for him and that just makes you the person who you are. 

• dating jj can be complicated and messy and wonderful and passionate and relationships aren’t easy but he would def be worth it <3

DAY6 of @dzaddyjamespotter​ ‘s advent calendar prompts

SNOWMAN

(read my other christmas drabbles here!)

The house had been too quiet. And living with a literal toddler and Sirius Black, that never meant any good.

Remus searched around the small cottage, resisting the urge to call out their names in case he accidentally interrupted a quiet game apparently afoot, or something. No one can ever tell with those two.

When it became clear that only he was present in the house, Remus stepped outside in the snow. Of course. It shouldn’t have taken him this long to figure they would want to play outside.

He was greeted by two snowmen with red scarves each. One was tall and perfectly sculpted– almost as though a bit of magic was involved, and the other was smaller and was made with clumsier hands. Oh, and the smaller one had what looked like eyeglasses made out of sticks.

Remus shook his head fondly at the scene before a dilemma came to him.

What if this is a prank?

The two snowmen were suddenly not that innocent-looking.

What if Sirius and Harry were both hiding inside the snowmen versions of themselves?

Or was this purposefully just stationed here to catch him off guard?

Or what if Remus was simply overthinking everything and that Sirius and Harry really were just having fun but took off to scour for more sticks?

Just as Remus decided on the latter and turned for the door once more, he was ambushed by tiny arms wrapping around his legs, followed by a giant black dog bounding for his chest, successfully knocking him out of balance. Remus fell against the soft snow with Padfoot panting directly in front of his face and Harry giggling by his feet. 

“Well, you two certainly look pleased with yourselves.” Remus rolled his eyes but was grinning widely.

“We got you!” Harry yelled victoriously.

“Yes, you did… going behind my back like honourable Gryffindors.”

Harry most definitely did not detect the sarcasm in Remus’ voice as he continued to jump around and cheer. Remus shook his head, watching as the young boy got distracted by kicking the snow with his little boots. Even though he and Sirius has been raising Harry for three official years now, it still gets to him in the smallest of moments– how surreal everything is. 

Without dwelling on the painful circumstances that lead them here, he couldn’t help but mostly think about how it was never in his plans to ever raise a child. In fact, he was never one to interact with children at all, never knowing how to gauge the boundaries of what is acceptable for them to hear or know. Sirius was more knowledgeable of that. He supposed it was mostly– if not entirely because of Regulus.

And yet here Remus was, his chest ignited by the rush of endearment from the sight of Harry simply playing with the snow. As the days carried on, the more he was inspired to pursue a career as a teacher.

He was wrenched out of his reverie by Padfoot shifting into Sirius, perfectly seated on his lap. A tongue licked a stripe up Remus’ cheek.

“Ugh,” Remus groaned. “I think I prefer Padfoot to do the licking.”

The look of affection twisted into a slyness as Sirius responded, “We both know that’s not true.”

Remus failed to suppress his own grin, shaking his head. “Will you… behave yourself?”

Sirius tilted his head, much like Padfoot still. “I’ll think about it.”

Just then, Remus was being wrapped with a scarf around his neck. But it was done with much difficulty as Harry had short arms and was bundled in his own thick winter coat. Sirius then assisted.

“You’ll freeze,” Harry chided, sounding a bit like Lily. Remus brushed off the ache in his chest. 

“Nah,” Sirius chuckled, “Notice how Padfoot doesn’t need a coat? Yeah, your uncle Moony is the same.”

“Or maybe my warming charms are just more potent,” Remus argued, before a chill ran down his spine. The scarf was freezing, and it was wrapped perfectly around his neck. He shivered, controlling his voice not to come out as a squeak. “Did you… did you take this from the snowman?”

“Yeah,” Harry answered proudly– obliviously, (just like James). It took a second for him to realise and blushed in guilt. 

Remus hummed, disguising his grimace with a smile. “It’s freezing.”

“And now I’m naked,” Sirius said, pointing to the tall snowman.

“Oh, is that you? Yeah, the resemblance is striking, then.”

Harry laughed. “Uncle Padfoot is naked!”

Remus and Sirius shared a look. 

Oh, to be a child and find humour in nudity.

Beetober 2022 Day 4 - Fae

This was inspired by a comment left on the fic Never what you expect and you should probably read that one first

Jiang Cheng just sat down for breakfast when Nie Mingjue steps into the room. Jiang Cheng is still nervous around him even though they have grown so close lately.

“Good morning,” Nie Mingjue greets him and throws him a smirk. He knows exactly that Jiang Cheng is still nervous. Jiang Cheng wouldn’t put it past him to be able to smell it.

“Morning,” Jiang Cheng mumbles and then straightens up. Yes, he still gets nervous but he also knows that Nie Mingjue likes him. He didn’t make a secret out of that after all and so really, what is there for Jiang Cheng to be nervous around.

They are on the same page after all.

“How was your night?” Jiang Cheng asks and Nie Mingjue’s smirk only gets bigger.

“Would have been better with you there,” he shoots back and Jiang Cheng rolls his eyes.

They are not allowed to spend the night together alone before the courtship is through and even though Jiang Cheng doesn’t particularly like that rule he vowed to honour the traditions of the Nie Clan.

“Mh, I was pretty lonely myself,” Jiang Cheng gives back and he does so enjoy the way Nie Mingjue goes a little bit red in the face.

Two can play this game and just to drive the point home, Jiang Cheng moves his right hand in a suggestive way. It could still be an innocent gesture but when Nie Mingjue goes even redder in the face Jiang Cheng knows that Nie Mingjue understands.

Jiang Cheng never thought he would be shameless like this, or feel safe enough to be this daring, but living with the Nie’s has changed a lot of him.

He knows that he doesn’t have to fear them—no matter their non-human nature—and he knows that they are not going to kick him out or force him to do something he doesn’t want.

Because the Nie’s are his family now and they will stand by him.

“Seeing you two flirt before breakfast is actually disgusting,” Nie Huaisang complaints as he joins them at the table.

Jiang Cheng briefly bows his head because even though Nie Huaisang insisted that he doesn’t have to he feels like he should show the due respect to the kind of the fae. It’s the least Nie Huaisang deserves.

“Stop with that,” Nie Huaisang waves him off even though they all know that Jiang Cheng is probably never going to stop.

“I’ll be off then, keep him good company, alright?” Nie Mingjue says, his food suddenly devoured and he gets up to drop a kiss to the top of both Nie Huaisang’s and Jiang Cheng’s head.

These casual affections still make Jiang Cheng freeze up even though Nie Mingjue makes sure to give them to him often and regularly. And it works too, because by now Jiang Cheng only freezes up for a second before he gets his wits back but today that’s already too late.

By the time he can move again, Nie Mingjue has already left.

“Who did he mean?” Jiang Cheng asks Nie Huaisang who is filling his plate with a huge pile of food.

“Mh?”

“He said ‘keep him company’. Who is supposed to keep whom company?” Jiang Cheng wants to know and Nie Huaisang shrugs, completely unbothered by this.

“Who knows. If we stay together we can make sure to keep each other company, right? Easy solution right there.”

Jiang Cheng snorts at that because nothing with Nie Huaisang has ever been easy. Jiang Cheng still sometimes reads more into his words than he probably should and he blames that one more on his own family than on the fact that Nie Huaisang is literally the king of fae.

Jiang Cheng has found the Nies to be more straightforward and honest than his own family and given that rumors about the deceiving and lying Nies are still prevalent all throughout their world, that’s quite the achievement.

“’Say, a question, if you will,” Nie Huaisang suddenly says and his piercing gaze is fixed on Jiang Cheng leaving him pinned.

Jiang Cheng knows that despite everything he could still say no and Nie Huaisang would accept it, but now Jiang Cheng is curious.

“Sure,” he easily agrees because he trusts Nie Huaisang and he knows he can still say no even once the question is asked.

“Just out of curiosity, why did you kiss my brother and not me?”

“Huh?” Jiang Cheng asks because he does not actually want to kiss Nie Huaisang and they are both in agreement over that.

Or at least Jiang Cheng thought they were.

“Back in the woods, when we first found you. You kissed da-ge to get us to take you along. Why not me?”

“I didn’t think a kiss would shock you,” Jiang Cheng says with a shrug. “Plus, Mingjue was closer. It was simple logistics.”

“Logistics,” Nie Huaisang scoffs and forcefully puts his cutlery down. “Bullshit. I’m so pretty, you should have gone for me.”

“You’re also terrifying as hell,” Jiang Cheng shoots back, “and I recognized that even back then. But if you really want to know: yes, you are damn pretty. But your brother—he’s sexy, and handsome and tall and gorgeous,” Jiang Cheng sighs out, letting a dreamy look settle over his face, if only to weird Nie Huaisang out.

“Bah,” he very predictably says. “You two are so disgusting,” he then says and Jiang Cheng shrugs shamelessly.

“I don’t think we are.”

“Another question,” Nie Huaisang says and Jiang Cheng rolls his eyes.

“Just ask away, for all that is holy, stop this bullshit,” he complaints and Nie Huaisang grins at him.

“You know you can say no, right?”

“To what?” Jiang Cheng asks, now thoroughly confused.

“Da-ge, the courtship, us in general. You know that you can express yourself freely here, right, and you don’t just have to go along with things simply because we tell you to or we decide them. You can make your own decisions and if you want my da-ge to fuck off then you can say that.”

“And it would be okay?” Jiang Cheng asks even though he knows that it would be.

He knows that he can tell them no.

“I mean da-ge would be heartbroken, I’m not going to lie about that, and I would be sad as well because I want neither of you to be heart-broken and I do actually want you to be a real part of the family, but yes. Of course it would be okay. Are you going to say no to him?”

“No,” Jiang Cheng decidedly says. “I  know that I can say no but I don’t want to. I’ve only been living with you for a short while now but I already feel so much better than with my own family and I know you care about me. Unlike them. And may I remind you, I already ran from one marriage that was forced upon me. I can do it again.”

That makes Nie Huaisang laugh out loud.

“True. Okay, I was just making sure. So, now that we are all on the same page and you trust us implicitly and shit, here’s the deal,” Nie Huaisang says and Jiang Cheng’s heart immediately drops.

“That doesn’t sound like I’m going to like it.”

“We’ll see about that. So the food,” Nie Huaisang points at Jiang Cheng’s table and the leftovers of breakfast.

“What about it?” Jiang Cheng cautiously asks, slightly pushing the plate away suddenly feeling sick.

“You know food is a big thing for us, right? We had to take you because you consumed something from us.”

“Yes?”

“You’re still consuming things that are fae-made.”

“So?”

By now Jiang Cheng is mostly confused by what is going on and he would just like Nie Huaisang to clear it all up.

“So—” Nie Huaisang draws his answer out and Jiang Cheng wants to lunge over the table and strangle him.

He’s clearly taking enjoyment from leaving Jiang Cheng hanging.

“Just spit it out already,” Jiang Cheng snaps when Nie Huaisang takes too long to answer.

“You’re turning into one of us now.”

That makes Jiang Cheng still.

“Excuse me, what?”

“The food you still consume turns you into one of us. You will never be like a pure-blood fae, but you will get to enjoy some perks. Our food is making you inhuman.”

“Huh,” Jiang Cheng breathes out and looks at his plate. “Fine by me,” he then decides and pulls his plate closer to finish his breakfast.

Nie Huaisang blinks at him.

“That was easy,” he finally says and Jiang Cheng shrugs at him.

“What did you expect? That I would freak out?”

“Yes, actually. I just told you we’re turning you into something non-human and without consulting you first. I thought you would be more upset.”

“About what? You’re feeding me, you want me in your family, and to be honest, you seem more humans than some of the humans I have met, my family included,” Jiang Cheng explains and then stops for a brief moment. “Is this a thing too? I don’t—my emotions are all—”

“Muted? At least when it comes to your human family?”

“Yes.” Jiang Cheng frowns. Now that he thinks about it their betrayal doesn’t feel so bad anymore but only because he simply doesn’t care anymore.

He thought it was because the Nies were such a good family to him, but maybe that wasn’t all of it.

“So what if I tell you that da-ge leaves daily to plan the downfall of your family?” Nie Huaisang says, sweetly blinking his eyes at Jiang Cheng.

“What the hell,” Jiang Cheng breathes out but it’s mostly out of reflex. “He’s going to kill them?”

“He’s going to ruin them,” Nie Huaisang corrects him. “If some of them die in the process; I’m sure he won’t care.”

“Why?” Jiang Cheng wants to know, completely puzzled by this.

“Because he loves you,” Nie Huaisang simply says. “And they hurt you.”

“Oh. I see.”

To be quite honest Jiang Cheng thought that this feeling would now be muted as well but when he thinks about the fact that Nie Mingjue apparently loves him, he feels warm and giddy and he’s filled with so much love that it’s actually ridiculous.

“Is that a good oh?”

“Hell yes,” Jiang Cheng nods. “Is that part of the courtship? Ruining my family?”

“No,” Nie Mingjue suddenly says from the door. “That’s just because they hurt you and I find that unacceptable.”

“Hi,” Jiang Cheng says with a completely smitten smile on his face but now that he knows that Nie Mingjue really loves him, he doubts he’ll be able to wipe that off his face ever again.

“Hi,” Nie Mingjue gives back.

Nie Huaisang’s chair screeches when he gets up.

“I’ll just be somewhere else now.”

“Good,” Nie Mingjue says with a glower and then comes over to sit next to Jiang Cheng. “He wasn’t supposed to tell you that.”

“That’s Huaisang for you,” Jiang Cheng shrugs and then leans closer to Nie Mingjue. “Hi again,” he whispers and Nie Mingjue beams at him.

Jiang Cheng is not entirely sure on the rules of the courtship regarding kisses but those thoughts flee his head when Nie Mingjue leans in close and bridges the distance himself.

It’s their first kiss since the one Jiang Cheng stole from Nie Mingjue and now that it’s not filled with desperation—at least on Jiang Cheng’s part—it’s actually so much better.

“Hi,” Jiang Cheng breathlessly says when they part and Nie Mingjue chuckles.

“Hi,” he gives back and then kisses Jiang Cheng’s cheek again and again until they are both a giggling mess.

Jiang Cheng is going to get used to this quickly and he can’t actually wait for that. It’s a good future he sees for himself now.

Link to my ko-fi

[bluiex]

AHHFJSJ you were so sweet when I sent in my wip with scarian exes and grian wallowing in his own self pity. good news!! I’m almost done chapter one(??) of the fic but! I’m not sure if I wanna just make it . one large behemoth of a fic or make it chaptered…curious on if you have any preferences 👁!

apart from that you will be getting extra. as a treat . a scene in the further future that frankly makes me insane and may have the honour of getting heavily edited once it comes by <3. warning this bit is a bit sad bc well….they’re still figuring it out. and don’t even get me started on how Jimmy plays into this fic

+

Pulling one of Scar’s loose strands behind his ear, his thumb caresses the side of his face as he feels something wet alongside it. The dim light catches on tear marks that haven’t dried and Grian focuses his gaze on Scar’s as he ogles at the way Scar’s half lidded eyes wander and linger down to his lips. He can feel Scar's legs between his under the blankets, tangled with his, but nothing about it felt uncomfortable. Everything came naturally. Everything but —

Something about Scar's clear eyes and his wet eyelashes - the way he kept glancing up and down Grian's face like he was uncertain about something. Checking if he was real, maybe. If this was real. Trying to glean what he can from Grian's demeanour.

And Grian?

Grian cracks.

“Grian?” It barely registers. His hand moves on autopilot to Scar's neck, with the faintest of a touch, as he moves it towards him and “Grian,” (Scar calls again, desperate) leans forward to kiss Scar. He makes a surprised sound against the soft touch, but somehow readily moves with him as he accepts the gesture with his whole body, wrapping his arms around Grian's shoulders, pulling them together closer.

“Grian, I—” Scar promptly interrupts himself with the sound he makes when Grian goes to kiss around his lips like a tease. Then he returns to his mouth and it’s so tender and kind that Scar wants to cry.

Grian surely didn’t want this.

He didn’t want Scar. He wouldn’t want Scar, and he hasn’t and will never want Scar. That was one thing Scar could be certain of, given his experience with Grian.

“I want you.” He lies, sweet honeyed affection laced in his tone.

“No you don’t.” Scar replies.

But despite everything, he feels so loved. He missed this, and he thought he forgot what it felt like after so long — what Grian felt like, that living with Grian would come easy. But look where they were now — Scar was a desperate whore that ran back to his exes and all that self love journey bullshit he went on was for naught with how easily he finds himself wrecked by a few less than innocent touches from Grian. From Grian.

Grian, Grian, Grian. He repeats it in his head, over and over like a prayer. Surely letting go of his grip on him should be easy. Surely, he reminds himself. Surely!

But Scar doesn’t want to let him go. He knows, the twisted part in his head reminds him, that Grian doesn’t want him but he can’t help it. He just wants to be his friend.

(He felt even more disappointed in himself. He did want to be his friend, didn’t he? But what was this? What the hell was this?)

He loses himself further, holding onto Grian like his life depended on it. Tonight was a night for petty indulgences. Tomorrow, he’d be rational.

Right.

MY HEAAARTTT MY HEART!!! Im screaming and crying and shaking this fic /aff /pos

DUDE your writing just makes me feel what Scar is feeling and I JUST AJKHSDJKGH no words again- fuck i want the whole thing so BAD. But I'm not bothered by a long fic or chaptered- however you see fit an is easiest for you to do <3

[whereiselsewhere]

I am back! Sorry to bother you again 😂

Death Note boys with a reader who is like Gojo Satoru? Not powerful or strong but personality wise, likes to annoy people, push people's buttons and generally a menace to society XD Is also actually smart in a way but acts childish. So, like, reader likes to call them nicknames and insults them and argue with them a lot so they think reader hates them but actually it's how they show affection? Someone insults the boys or threaten them and reader just go full on confident, sadistic, scary mode?

I'm so sorry if this was long. Thank you for accepting these, I hope you'll have a lovely day/night! 💗

“A Fun Hell Awaits”- Death Note boys

Headcanons: The boys with an s/o with a similar personality to that of Gojo.

Characters Mentioned: Mihael Keehl, L Lawliet, Mail Jeevas, Touta Matsuda

Category: Crack / Fluff

Author’s Note: HI SYL!! You’re never a bother, don’t worry 💪 Some parts of this request are a little bit like me and you requested my four boys, so this was lowkey self-indulgent to write. I’m here for it! >:) As always, I hope this is to your liking!

Mello:

•Mello has his defences up high when you first meet. If you make a wrong first impression, it may take a while to salvage things, but it’s definitely possible. Although he doesn’t match your act initially, his mindset and manner is the same, if that makes sense? So once he allows it to happen, you totally click, and neither party ever takes an insult to heart unless one of you really crossed a line. If you ever did say something out of order, he’s quick to call it out due to his hot headed nature, so you’ll know about it.

•He’s a little less outwardly childish than you, however, aside from how petty he can get in arguments with people. So naturally, he’s a little surprised when you turn out to be kind of smart.

•A romantic relationship is not unlikely to come from this, but there might be some communication work to be done as things get more serious.

•Considering you’re a total agent of chaos, he might ask for some help in a few plans here and there, but he’ll never ask anything of you that might put you in harm’s way. He knows better than that. Sometimes he even scolds himself later for the little things he does let you do, despite the fact nothing bad happened from it.

•If you’re the type to steal things and run with them, he’ll fully just chase you and tackle you to the floor or sofa, ending up with both of you just struggling to get up in a fit of laughter.

•He’ll try to shrug off any stupid nicknames you give him, insisting he’s not into that sappy stuff. He’s lying; if you stopped he’d soon be questioning what happened to his s/o.

•Mello adores the fact that you have a sharp enough tongue to defend yourself when you feel like it, whether you’re actually mad or just hitting back with something witty for the sake of it. As much as he likes to feel all strong for stepping in now and again, he doesn’t think he could cope with someone who needs him to do that 24-7. He would if he had to, but it would just get on his nerves fast.

•Mello is massively insecure over his scar. It only brings back bad memories, and he thinks it makes him look super unattractive. You’re the first to reassure him he looks hot as hell, though he never really buys it deep down. It’s hard to just undo something like that, after all.

•When he’s insulted over it by a stranger when you’re out together one evening, your mouth opens before you even have chance to think, cussing the guy out, and Mello swears he can feel his heart melting then and there.

•And you’re going IN on this guy, like more than he’s ever seen you do before. He’s like…honoured that you care so much for him, really. He doesn’t see himself as worthy to be cherished that way. Maybe you should do it more often.

L:

•To be honest, you’re gonna have to give him some time. L is a very reserved person who spends most of his time in his own company. Although energetic people aren’t a foreign concept to him, as we’ve seen him warm to Misa to some capacity, he can’t exactly match up to you. You’ll have to be persistent with him and show genuine care at times. Take an interest in what he’s doing, yet not so much that you’re in danger or it’s all you talk about. L needs a break from working more often than he’d like to admit, after all. It’s more just about making him feel seen, if you will.

•That being said, your bright personality becomes like a bit of a breath of fresh air once you’ve been around long enough, and he might just find himself subconsciously falling for you. You’re not around and something feels off, empty in a way, and he just can’t put his finger on it. It’s actually probably Watari or one of the task force who has to call L out on his feelings, which brings on a bit of a lightbulb moment.

•He panics initially. Despite your fierce nature, there’s almost like an urge to protect you from any and all harm. A relationship with L is not only high risk, but the things he’s seen have taken a mental toll on him over the years. The last thing he wants is for you, especially positive and confident as you are, to see and experience the same things he has. He’ll most likely initially push you away due to this fear, then realise he can’t take it and blurt out a confession as if it’s no big deal, just to get it done and over with.

•Staring contests. Don’t ask me why, it just happens. You’re always talking big about how you’re going to beat him next time, and you never ever do.

•Your unpredictable nature keeps him awake, and that’s something he grows to love over time. The sugar may start failing to work, but you come in clutch bestie. 💪

•I don’t think anyone would get the opportunity or have the guts to straight up insult L, but he’s already thought of the scenario anyway. He seriously advises against you going off on anyone, and so there would probably be an argument if that scenario did happen, because he directly told you not to. I’m sure you can win him over with some cake after, though.

Matt:

•He’s definitely a little put off and confused at first. Matt’s generally a very chilled person, and he’s somewhat disoriented by your lack of a filter when you barely know him. He won’t exactly say anything, but he’s often questioning to himself if you’re actually making fun of him or not.

•He does eventually grow to be used to and enjoy your sense of humour, however, and will start doing things back to you.

•Matt would probably love to set up pranks either with or for you. Nothing massively high effort, but really simple ones like the cling film in the doorways. If it’s not for you, it’s probably for Mello, and he’s going to film his reaction every single time.

•If you give him stupid nicknames, he’ll give you them right back. Two can play at that game, my friend.

•He still thinks you’re genuinely trying to argue with him sometimes, so you’ll have to clarify so he doesn’t get pissed.

•Matt isn’t really the type to want to make a huge scene out of small things, so when you stick up for him he’s mostly trying to quietly drag you away. Matt’s good at being able to just roll his eyes and ignore things without them getting to him the majority of the time. So, as much as he appreciates it, he doesn’t need you to defend him. He won’t get mad, exactly, just embarrassed (of himself, not you) when people start looking. Do they think he can’t defend himself? Do people think the situation is worse than it actually is right now?

•He’ll still thank you, because it’s reassuring to know you care so much about him. Matt doesn’t have a deep connection with anyone besides you and Mello, so reaffirming that you’re not going anywhere, whatever form that may come in, is something he is grateful for.

Matsuda:

•Oh he’s really not gonna get it at first. He thinks you totally despise him and starts avoiding you at all costs for a good while. The last thing he wants is to be in your way, after all.

•If you’re on the task force he’s going to have an especially hard time telling apart your loving insults with their serious ones until you outright tell him.

•I think he takes to the nicknames thing specifically, though. He finds it really funny and you’re always trying to see who can up with something more witty or weird than the other.

•I thought specifically a few days ago of calling him tote bag instead of Touta, and now I can’t stop doing that in my own head 💀

•Matsuda can be a really sensitive person, so don’t go too overboard with what you say to him. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a complete no-go, he can take a joke. It’s just that if it’s too often or too personal he might start to distance himself again.

•People tend to come down harshly on him at work, and don’t always like to hear what he has to say. Make sure you don’t completely override all conversations and give him that space to talk. It makes him feel appreciated, despite it being a bare minimum type of thing.

•If you defended him, he’d be yours forever. Like this man would be SO in LOVE. You’ve got more guts than him, and he thinks the absolute world of you for it. He wishes he could stand up for himself though, still.

•He’ll brag about you all the time, including for your charisma. You’re all “cool and smooth” to him. He’s practically starstruck by you no matter how long you’ve been together.

❝hold your ground; stand up for yourself with grit and grace.❞ - Unknown.

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 | when he heard you broke from your timid and soft-spoken self just so you could defend him.

𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 | riddle rosehearts, leona kingscholar, azul ashengrotto, kalim al asim, vil schoenheit, idia shroud, malleus draconia × female reader.

𝐭𝐰 | none!

𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 | of course, <3 anon chan 😘 nice to meet you and have a good day too 😆 by the way, freaking gosh, this becomes soooo long 2,241 words if you wanna know bdjejwjeeh 😭😂💦 HELP-

𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 | reposting and queued this in time for my classes because i am determined to put it in tags lfmaooo and I also added few more because I noticed some of Leona’s part was missing and typographical errors are fixed shsbjd

Riddle was always grateful that you were a lot tamer than your chaotic friends that give him constant headaches. He also appreciates your quiet and soft nature because it helps him calm down a lot during his near outbursts when he was about to behead some of his rebellious dorm mates.

So, one random day, Riddle overheard you talking to some students; he presumed they were your classmates? He trusts you a lot, and was about to leave because he didn't want to disrespect your conversation when he heard his name, including the loud series of continuous insults directed to him, repeatedly calling him a ruthless tyrant and such, that had made his elegant brows raise to his hairline. 

A lady such as yourself shouldn't be hearing such crass words from those uneducated fools. His eyes twitched in seething anger, a vein bulging in his forehead and he was about to step in to teach them a lesson they won't forget when Riddle had heard your voice snapping.

It took him by surprise when he heard your usual soft and timid tone raise an octave, your loud yells reverberated greatly across the empty halls. Riddle felt some sort of pleasant shock; he couldn't imagine you, who was usually soft-spoken, to defend him like that. Though that aside, immediate pride and affection swells inside him. 

Riddle always believes that as a gentleman, he should be the one to protect you from fools, or defend you against malicious people like that. But he supposed the position getting reversed once in a while feels...good as well. Now, if you'll excuse him, he still needs to, ah, re-educate those imbeciles, a lesson they won't ever forget.

Leona doesn't care that you're timid most of the time, in fact, it even brought a slight relief to him because firstly, he won't have you loudly reprimanding and nagging him if he doesn't attend classes like Ruggie does, disturbing his naps. And secondly, he secretly finds you a great wonder, knowing that most women in Afterglow Savana were all "warriors" and they intimidate him. 

Though for your own sake, Leona would drop casual hints about arming yourself in an argument here and there for you to catch. He favoured your soft-spoken persona, yes, but that doesn’t mean he would go around letting you be in danger just because of it.

And just when he thought that you were tamed and a well-behaved little lamb, Leona was slightly bewildered to hear your loud shouts that knocked him out of his sleep. He almost thought that you were in danger and would instantly leap in to tear off the person who dared to attack you limb by limb if not for the obvious anger lacing your voice.

Hou? Leona listens curiously in patient silence as you apparently "defend" his reputation. It would be a lie to say that he didn't care what others say about him, but at this point, he had completely given up on how others perceived him, all their opinions be damned. But he had to admit, you saying that he was more than just being an "indolent bastard" makes his heart do a quick lithe leap. Just a little bit.

However, of course, he can't let you hog in all the fun to yourself. If those fools were brave enough to lash out and dish out their problems about him to you, they must be prepared to face the consequences of his payback. Though perhaps he must thank them as well? For encouraging and pushing his timid herbivore to stand up and hold her ground to what she believes to be most important? Heh.

Azul thought that your soft and timid self is quite a refreshing sight; you're like a breath of fresh air for him. Being surrounded by the chaotic twins all the time drains his energy, no matter how efficient they seem to be for business. So, having you around calms him down, and your soft voice was like enticing him to sleep and relax.

That's why when he heard a loud scream outside of the VIP room, Azul had seriously doubted his ears, blinking his eyes in mild shock and refusing to believe that person who had just raised their voice was you. You, his precious angelfish who spoke so softly and tenderly to him all the time, just shouted? 

Azul snapped out of his trance when he had heard your voice again, this time, it was even louder, and he could clearly hear just what makes you this furious. He quietly left the sanctuary of his office just as the argument kept on getting clearer. He had heard his name, how the students called him a "scammer", "manipulator", "evil schemer", "stupid octopus" and such. 

Under normal circumstances, Azul wouldn't feel any remorse when he had tricked them into a contract for servitude as a small payment for what they boastfully spout about him. He was ready to make them pay a hundred folds...if not for you defending him wholeheartedly. You were readily refuting every falseーor were they really false?ーclaims about him; a bit more menacing, a little more proud, and very much seething in anger. 

Adoration bloomed inside him as he almost felt tears start to prickle in the corner of his eyes. He never had someone who would defend him, who would boast how "hardworking" he was, or be angry...just for him. Azul had to steel his knees from buckling over, blinking back his tears and parading his usual, haughty smile. As much as he wants to rejoice and melt for your brave words, he first needs to get you out of there. He can't have his precious angelfish deal with those pests all by yourself, no?

Kalim was understanding, empathetic enough to know not to push you beyond the limits you could give. He was content to see you interacting and hanging out with him, no matter how quiet and timid you may be! Fret not, it doesn't matter one bit if he's the only one speaking and getting the conversation going, as long as he knew you were there and listening to him, that's all that matters to him.

Though seriously speaking, does anyone even have the heart to say malicious things about this sunshine? Though let's admit it, not all people would see Kalim's open generosity in a positive light and some people would even find it rather irritating (ーlike Jamilー). So, things like "bad-mouthing" him does happen, maybe not as much in NRC but he does hear them back in Scalding Sands.

Due to his position of being the heir to a big clan, Kalim was very much exposed to the harsh criticism and perhaps hatred and envy of others, though he does his very best to ignore them, and understand where they are coming from because he knows that not all are as privileged as him. So hearing people say bad things about him in the NRC is nothing new as well. 

What was something new though...is you raising your voice that made him jump, his heart almost made a quick leap out of his throat. Especially when you declared that he was the kindest, the most understanding and the best person you ever met in your life. Kalim didn't even hear the insults because he was more focused on drilling the image of you, looking so gallant like a honourable warrior defending him. 

Before it escalates into something serious though, Kalim would jump in the conversation and sway the topic into a more light-hearted one. You would notice his smile looked a lot brighter than normal, and that his cheerfulness is so contagious that you forgot the person who badmouthed him as Kalim dragged you to somewhere he could spoil you rotten.

Vil doesn't usually mind your timid self; he finds himself surprisingly adoring it at times. Especially after those stressful and chaotic days that all he needs is to have a peaceful respite that he had found in you. Though there were times that he would...ah, help you to become more open and confident when talking to people. Unlike Leona who would just drop hints, Vil was determined to teach you how to arm yourself with words, if not magic or any other weapon. 

Hence why Vil was very much accustomed to harsh criticism and dare say, downright hate. He was an actor and a model after all. He had long prepared himself to accept those healthy criticisms, and block off all the malicious comments thrown at him. So, hearing his own schoolmates lash out their hate against him is nothing to waste his time about. After all, they weren't even brave enough to say that to his own face. 

Even so, what took him in a pleasant astonishment is when he heard your voice, loud and clear and confident, rebutting their foolish claims about him. He didn't even pay enough attention when those potatoes blatantly compared him to Neigeーwhich was, by the way, will be dealt with laterーbecause all he could hear was your voice.

Vil huffed in amusement; you had incorporated everything he had taught you today and he could say that he was pleased with your development. As much as he wanted to see how far you could go and how good it was that you were defending him, Vil cannot allow you to linger longer around those fools who don't know basic etiquette more than necessary. 

Brimming with confidence as he was, Vil swept between smoothly, the long and loose sleeves of his dorm uniform flaunting behind me like a perfect picturesque as he hide you behind his back. He looked down coldly at those potatoes, ignoring your surprise yelp. Now, Vil can't let the improper things they say pass without a proper punishment, no?

Like everyone does, Idia doesn't care if you're timid or soft spoken either. To be honest, it was even encouraged by him. He could get around everything between you two without speaking, especially since he wasn't used to being around people a lot. After all, your quiet voice when you're talking to him doesn't feel like any otherーit was more relaxing, more soothing…

That's why when he heard you shouting so loudly and angrily one day, Idia fell on his chair in shock. He was surveying the surroundings from the CCTVs around the school for possible routes he could take when he went out to buy snacks for the weekend when he caught sight of you in the hallway with some unfamiliar students. It doesn't look like a one-sided argument, but you were definitely more pissed off than the others.

The longer he listens, the more Idia wants to wither awayーfrom embarrassment, or from self-resentment or from pure adoration, he cannot pinpoint exactly what! You...you were defending him! Him! You were seethingly refuting every claim he heard directed to him. Every single negative thing they pointed out that he himself knew of all people possessed, said it was nothing but baseless untruths. 

How could you say that he was not useless when all he could do now was to watch you from afar as you fight for his reputation? How could you still believe he was not a coward after all those things that people said about him and his failures? How could you still love him after all the things you were hearing right now? 

Idia clenched his fists that his nails dug in his palms. He...wants to be like you as well. He wanted to be the man you could depend on, the one who could defend you like those in his otome games he played. If one day...if only he could build up the courage to be...anyway, for now, Idia mysteriously alerted some of the professors that someone was bullying you. He couldn't be there personally, with how he is right now, but he would make sure to protect you in the way that he himself could surely do this time...

The one who insults and badmouth The Malleus Draconia himself was probably tired of living, having a death wish or something. Almost everyone was scared of facing him, but alas, there surely exists those who are...brave enoughーor was it simply foolishness?ーto insult him in the presence of his own beloved. 

Malleus probably didn't hear your "heroic acts" personally, but due to Sebek's garrulous mouthーand he can't simply keep this a secret to his Waka-sama!ーhe was informed how you defend him in front of many people. 

He would ask every detail, how it started and how it escalated to how it ended. Sebek wouldn't leave a single detail, though he supposed he could make you a little more "gallant and chivalrous" to his Young Master because you were the first one to stand up for him, and you are his lover, not his guard!

After hearing the full details from the extremely proud Sebekーand how he had already taught the impudent students a lesson for insulting himーMalleus had found himself teleporting next to you, that made you jump because it was so sudden. And he would hug you so suddenly and wordlessly. When you ask him why, he would just reply that he feels like you had done something so incredible for him that he wants to repay and spoil you in any way you desire.

Malleus does mind the insults, but he was more focused on you and how you stand up and hold your ground despite your soft-spoken self. He wished he could've seen you break out from your shell once again, but he won't force you to it. After all, there's plenty of time to rectify that and he would wait patiently on the day you showed all your sides to him.

Oh So Torn - [Itachi x Female Reader]

You knew the head of the Uchiha was intimidating. Even just being in the same room as him at clan meetings felt suffocating enough, but having him sit across from you, staring at you, feeling like he was staring through you, measuring you up and as much as you wanted to crumble, you sat tall you would show him you were someone worthy of his son’s affections.

“So we would like to extend to you an offer to join our clan,” when your father politely asked him to clarify, he continued, “by our heir’s marrying.”

Your breath caught in your throat in excitement and disbelief. Was this happening? Was everything you ever wanted right around the corner?

“Your lovely daughter.”

You could see it now your father giving you away, finally being able to tell the world how much you cared for each other, Itachi looking divine in his royal wedding robes-

“To our Sasuke.”

Itachi was as confused as you, but like the elite shinobi he was, he hid it better than you; if anyone bothered to look your way, you imagined they would see how hard you were breathing, how panicked you looked, could see your dreams that had so quickly formed in your eyes shattering.

“Sasuke?”

Fugaku looked right at you at your broken mention of your offered betrothed, his gaze somehow victorious.

“He is closer to your age than Itachi. So it makes sense, doesn’t it?”

That was technically true, but Sasuke was two years younger than you.

You stared at the side of your father’s face with a desperate intensity when the Uchiha head looked at him, expecting an answer. He didn’t know how you felt, how deeply in love with Itachi you were, how long you had adored him and worse of all, an offer like this made so much political sense with how small and uninfluential your clan was. Marrying into a family such as the Uchihas was like being handed the keys to Konohagakure, no questions asked. As a clan head, he had no reason to say no but more than he could count to say yes.

“We are honoured, Fugaku! We humbly accept your offer!”

How thrilled your father sounded only made him placing the final stamp on your broken dreams worse.

Hint: I want to be yours by @greenblueish / bluegreenish (11k) | Mature

Thinking back to Harry’s rut, Louis shivers, needing to put effort into keeping other bodily reactions at bay.

“Are you cold?”

While Niall’s been commenting through the entire film, Harry had stayed mostly quiet, so it’s a surprise when he speaks up, eyes zeroed in on the omega.

“Uh, yeah. It’s a bit chilly, innit?”

Niall shrugs, dressed in a sleeveless t-shirt and seemingly unbothered by the room temperature. Harry doesn’t ask for an explanation though.

“You can have my hoodie, wait, here.” Before Louis can counter, Harry’s pulling the light grey piece of clothing over his head and handing it to the omega.

or, the one where Harry unconsciously starts acting like Louis’ alpha after they spend his rut together and Louis finds ways to make sure Harry’s affection doesn’t end.

All That Matters by @Centa0592 (12k) | Mature

Harry comes to NY with a bag of clothes, and lots of dreams. Tired of sleeping in Niall’s spare bedroom, Harry decides to get a job. When Harry applies for Louis’ bartender position he gets a lot more than what he bargained for after falling for vampire Louis Tomlinson.

AU where Harry is a professional photographer and Louis is a tattoo artist. They meet through a project and this is all so fluffy, you can from now on call me Flufflepuff. :P

As there is too much drama in reality, there is no drama here. Promised.

I absolutely love Louis, Harry and London and I hope you can feel that.

Well obviously this is all made up and pure fiction based on my imagination. :P

(I really don’t know what else I actually have to put here…)

Niall, who is only mentioned shortly, is a member of the LSO in this fic, which is my personal tribute to this wonderful and perfect fic LIARB by Gloria Andrews and 100percentsassy.

Thank you LolaTommo for being an inspiration with your beautiful collages!

This fic is what happens when you don’t have a lot of uni courses because you should be writing your thesis in the spare time. Guess what, I haven’t written a lot for that thesis so far…

No Bunny But You by @crinkle-eyed-boo (13k) | Explicit

“So you saw the bunnies then?” Harry clarifies, a smirk tugging at his lips.

“Yeah, those were a bit of a surprise,” Liam huffs. “I mean, they definitely weren’t part of what we commissioned from him, but they’re kind of cute, right?”

Harry sputters a laugh.

“What?” Liam asks, the furrow in his brow deepening. “They are cute little bunnies!”

“Cute little bunnies that are fucking,” Harry snickers.

“What?” Liam gasps.

“Liam,” Harry says, trying to school his face into a serious expression. “Those bunnies are fucking.”

A slow Monday night behind the bar turns into something else entirely thanks to a new mural and a new customer.

What do you mean he’s coming? by @mediawhorefics / MediaWhore (15k) | General Audiences

When Harry accepted to be his sister’s Maid of Honour, despite how non-traditional of a choice he was, he didn’t think writing a speech for the wedding reception would be this hard. Now, not only does he have less than two weeks left to find something moving and inspirational to say, but Gemma just confided in him that her old childhood best friend is going to be in attendance. The one who moved to LA and they haven’t seen in fifteen years because he was too busy becoming an Academy Awards winner. But hey, no pressure. It’s just Louis Fucking Tomlinson.

Harry is screwed.

hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss by @icedwaters (27k) | Explicit

Louis would like to know when his life became a huge romantic comedy, because he’s starting to get tired of being the butt of every joke. Harry’s already at the club when he, Zayn, and Liam arrive. He’s got on the tightest jeans Louis has ever seen in his life (including his own), and this flannel shirt with the sleeves cut off, the buttons mostly undone to reveal the majority of his chest and a few tattoos. Louis’ eyes are first drawn to the big butterfly inked above his abs, then to black lines drawn on his shoulders, partly hidden by the edge of his shirt. He can’t help staring, his eyes clinging to Harry’s exposed skin.

(or louis is a 22 year old photographer in his third year of uni, and harry is his 19 year old cat-loving neighbor.)

can i be him? by @amory (29k) | Mature

Louis is twenty years old and has been waiting for his soulmate and true love to come along since the day he was born. Harry is an eighteen year old youtuber who is skeptical of soulmates and the pressure of being the person someone else has been dreaming of their entire lives.

blind from this sweet, sweet craving by @ missandrogyny (31k) | Explicit

“So, I guess we’ll go?” Louis asks later, when Harry has calmed down and eaten his weight in Chinese food. He plays with this chopsticks, spearing another piece of chicken and pops it in his mouth. “I mean, I wouldn’t mind. We could make it an adventure.”

Harry observes him, watches him seated across from him on their old living room carpet, with a container of food on his lap. He’s fidgeting, avoiding meeting Harry’s gaze–he probably knows that Harry’s mad at him for ruining the one chance they had to get out of this situation. And he’s not wrong, Harry is definitely very mad. Harry wants to strangle him and castrate him and smack him upside the head.

But he’s also Harry’s best friend, and despite everything, despite all the fuck-ups and the plot twists and everything just not playing out the way it should, he’d still rather be stuck in this situation with Louis than any of the other boys. He’s got Harry’s back, and in a weird, abstract way, he knows they’ll be able to get out of this situation, together.

Harry sighs. “We’re going,” he says resignedly, his shoulders slumping.

Oh well. There are definitely worse ways to spend the weekend than pretending to be engaged to his best friend.

(And Things Will Be) Hard At Times by @lululawrence​​ (34k) | Mature

Louis and Nathan had been talking about marriage and kids and a family for years now, but it had never felt right. If anything, the talking about it had petered out over the past while because they were busy living the lives they had settled into. It wasn’t that they didn’t think they’d ever have kids, just that they weren’t to a point where they were ready for it yet.

Well. Ready or not, it was happening.

Or the one where Louis and his boyfriend of five years unexpectedly find themselves pregnant and Harry is the paternity photographer that makes everyone think twice.

Hidden Gardens by @pinky-heaven19 (41k) | Mature Harry burst out laughing, the sound mixing with the loud chatter as more people entered the pub.

“I knew you'd say that! It's just too easy to get you riled up, isn't it?” Harry took another sip of his beer, cleaning a little foam off his upper lip

“Why do you like to piss me off so much?” Louis said, rubbing his closed eyes with the tip of his fingers. He didn't feel as angry as he looked, but apparently he had a reputation to keep.

“Believe me, the only time I did it on purpose was just now. Hey, is this going to be our dynamic forever? I come here, you snap at me for no reason at all, throw me out and I come back? It's getting pretty predictable.”

“Why do you keep coming back, exactly?” Louis said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

“I like your pretty face. And Niall has sick jokes. The beer is fine, too."

OR the one where Louis owns a pub and Harry is a photographer who needs his help for a project. Louis is grumpy, Harry is not. Louis has a secret. There is some pining and a lot of fluff.

“Did you clean the table?” Harry asks Louis once Rose is done speaking, now occupied with trying to see if she can reach over and touch Harry’s hair from where she’s sat. At Louis’ nod, Harry frowns. “You didn’t have to do that. You’re my guests here, I could’ve dealt with it later.”

Louis just smiles easily, though, adjusting Rose on his lap so that she’s facing Harry better. She manages to tug on a loose wave of hair, and she makes a noise of triumph that both Louis and Harry smile at.

“I don’t mind,” Louis murmurs to Harry, even though he’s looking at Rose. “This one here seemed very excited to talk to you.”

And, okay. Harry can’t help but think of how domestic this feels, all of a sudden.

Hamartia by @tomlinvelvet (66k) | Explicit

“Your scent lingering on my pillow… oh Honey, If only you knew that the moment I dread most every time you leave… Is when it fades.”

Six years is a long time for Louis to mend his heart back and erase every lingering, stubborn memory of his ex-lover, Harry Styles. But when news of the war being over spreads across the world like wildfire, and he stumbles upon the alpha he vowed himself to never see ever again, he realises that not even a lifetime will be enough for him to pick up the scattered, broken parts of his soul. He’s far from expecting the alpha he loved to be struggling in the same way.

All the ointments in the world might never soothe the pain out, but it doesn’t take long for them both to come to the conclusion that, maybe, the only medicine to their heartbreaks are what caused them in the first place.

Strawberries & Cigarettes by @dimpled_halo (76k) | Explicit

Harry looks up and immediately freezes. Next to Ms. Archie stands the boy from just the other day. The boy with the leather jacket and chipped black nails, that might or might not be sketched in the very book Harry has just placed on the table in front of him. The leather jacket is missing today, probably because they aren’t allowed as part of their required uniform attire, but Harry can still see the fading black nail polish on his nails, and eyeliner around his eyes. Harry’s mouth goes a little dry. This boy is so intriguing to him.

“Ye-yes, Ms. Archie?” Harry tries to play it cool, but he’s almost positive that his cheeks are burning red, and he’s relieved neither of them can tell how fast his heart is beating in his chest.

The boy seems to also recognize Harry, because his lips curve into a knowing smirk.

“Harry is at the top of his class. He’s your best bet at getting familiar with things around here.” She explains.

Louis nods, his smirk still very prominent on his face. “Thank you Ms. Archie. I’ll be sure to take advantage of young Harold here.”

Mine Would Be You by @crinkle-eyed-boo (114k) | Explicit

Louis blinks his eyes open, his eyelids fluttering as the room swims around him. He takes several gulps of beer once he confirms that he’s definitely not hallucinating, that the very first portrait Harry Styles ever painted of him is hanging on that wall.

Louis stares at the wall, his heart jackrabbiting in his chest as he realizes that there’s not just one painting of him, there’s five, the portraits lined up like they’re some sort of storyboard depicting the rise and fall of his deepest love. His greatest heartache. A pain that cut him so deep that he left the fucking country, severing all ties with his life in New York, now suddenly surrounding him as if he’d never left.

Fucking shit motherfucker fuck.

Louis returns to New York City five years after he left it – and the love of his life – behind. He didn’t intend to see Harry again, but fate has a funny way of pulling them together, whether they like it or not. After making a begrudging truce, they both start to wonder: Would it be so bad if history repeated itself?

Ghosts theory- “sucked off” edition

Apologies for the title.

I have a theory about how each of the ghosts in Ghosts has a parallel with another Ghost and how this could be the key to them finally being able to move on, or “be sucked off’ as Mary would say.

Putting it behind a cut as this is extremely long and rambly. Spoilers for pretty much every episode of Ghosts

First of all I was listening to Mat and Jim on the Empire Spoilers podcast and Mat said something really interesting about how he intended “you stays how you dies” to refer to the ghost’s mental and emotional state, as well as physical. So Thomas always being obsessed with seeking love is because he died broken-hearted and Fanny always being so grumpy is because she died angry at her husband. 

I believe, therefore, that if the ghosts were able to overcome each of their emotional blocks that would be the thing that would allow them to move on. Furthermore, each of the ghosts has another ghost that seems perfectly suited to be able to assist them in that.

Let’s go through them:

Thomas- Thomas died believing his love never loved him back and now is forced to spend eternity seeking for love as a ghost. If Thomas was able to find someone who could reciprocate his affections, this would the resolve that issue. In the Series 2 episode “About Last Night” when Alison drunkenly tells Thomas “if you were alive and I was 200 years older, then we might have…” we hear a choir start singing and Thomas is pulled, as if compelled, through the wall, similar to how Fanny is pulled forwards towards the window to jump when she “doesn’t even realise [she’s] doing it.” Thomas desperately craves love and affection from another person, but in life was constantly rejected by the people he loved most. You know who else that sounds like? Kitty.

Kitty- Like Thomas, she is from a wealthy family who sheltered her a lot growing up, but is ultimately good and tries to be honourable. Kitty also craves love and affection as well as companionship and she tries to seek it, first in Eleanor and then in Alison (because Alison reminds her of  Eleanor, like how Alison reminds Thomas of Isabelle). However it comes up again and again that Kitty’s relationship with Alison isn’t as fulfilling to her as she would like it be because her being a ghost prevents her from sharing every activity with Alison, and Alison cannot show her physical affection. Kitty is trying to recreate aspects of her relationship with Eleanor using Alison as a substitute but this isn’t very healthy for her, as it simply traps her in the constant state of seeking affection that will not or cannot be returned fully. We don’t know the exact circumstances of Kitty’s death but after Series 3, if seems likely that her sister was in some way involved. Maybe what is keeping Kitty trapped as a ghost is her need for approval and love that she never got in life? But by seeking it in people who remind her of Eleanor exclusively, she is further trapping herself.

If Kitty and Thomas could find love with each other, they could each fulfil the other’s need for reciprocated affection. They are both equally needy so this quality wouldn’t likely annoy the other. Kitty seems to genuinely enjoy high romance in earnest and in finding an outlet for her love in Thomas, she could finally move on from her sister. Thomas would also find someone to love him and could devote himself completely to someone who would actually return his love, instead of fruitlessly pursuing women who remind of Isabelle’s rejection. This could lead to the resolution of both character’s finally moving on from their deaths.

Next up, let’s look at The Captain-

The Captain’s central conflict is obviously his sexuality. I believe that the resolution to this conflict would be him finally accepting and coming to terms with being gay and feeling comfortable with that part of his  identity. Which ghost could best help him in this?

Fanny. 

Maybe not the answer you were thinking, but hear me out. The Captain already has a strong positive relationship with Fanny built on mutual respect. He is more likely to value her opinion as an equal that any of the other ghosts and he seems to align himself with her on most issues. Which makes his choice to go against Fanny and defend the same-sex wedding and its guests to her in “Perfect Day” really remarkable.

In “Perfect Day”, Fanny expresses some pretty disapproving remarks about the wedding guest’s attire and some homophobic opinions about the same-sex wedding in general, which prompts the Captain to defend one of the guests to Fanny. “It’s chic, it’s now, and if it makes her feel fabulous…”

Imagine a scene where The Captain has to defend himself towards Fanny in a similar manner after coming out, showing that he is finally accepting of his sexuality as being the right thing for him. 

Anyway, that was a slight digression…

Fanny is still struggling to deal with the circumstances of her own death which was brought about in part because she caught her husband having an affair with other men. Fanny needs to accept and come to terms with the fact that her husband didn’t love her and that while he was obviously wrong for murdering her, she needs to move on so she can stop reenacting it by jumping out the window every morning. Because she died feeling angry and betrayed, she is trapped in that state in death. Discovering that one of her closest friends is gay and realising that it is possible for someone to be both gay and a good person might prompt her to think differently about her own life, as she started do with Humphrey in Perfect Day. 

The Captain, in turn, could be driven by Fanny’s ability to accept his sexuality into thinking ‘if she can accept that part of me, then maybe I can too.’ Personally, out of all the ghosts, I think it could only be Fanny who could prompt him to think that because it would mean the most to him coming from her.

Humphrey- Humphrey died because he was trying to protect Sophie, who rejected any attempt to get to know him and who he believed didn’t even like him. In death he is trapped in a state of being a selfless self-sacrificing people-pleaser and desperately wanting to be included in the other ghost’s activities, even allowing himself be kicked and thrown around if it means he can just be involved. In ‘I Love Lucy’ he even attempts to make a relationship with Fanny work, showing he is willing to sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of others.

Julian, by contrast, is the most selfish of all the ghosts at Button House. Deep down he feels guilty that his selfishness negatively affected the relationship with his daughter but seems not to be consciously aware that he feels like this. Julian’s selfishness to not spend time with his family ultimately leads to his death in Button House, as he neglected his family to spend more time at work and was clearly cheating on his wife, showing he is driven by selfish impulses.

If Julian were to perform a completely selfless act to the benefit of Humphrey, then Humphrey would get to feel as though someone was putting him first for once and valuing him the way he seeks to be valued. Julian would also break the pattern of selfish behaviour that caused his downfall.

The rest are little less well-defined:

Pat is the probably the ghost that we know the most about, through seeing his death and actually meeting his family in “Happy Death Day”, to the numerous anecdotes he reveals about his life throughout the show. However, I can’t decide for sure what is the thing that is keeping him a ghost. Pat himself seemed to think it was that he was missing his family, but this was ultimately proved wrong after he saw them again in ‘Happy Death Day’. Even meeting the boy who killed him and forgiving him in ‘Perfect Day’ didn’t cause him to move on. It could be something to do with Carol’s affair with Maurice but I just don’t know for sure. I like the idea of him fitting in with the plague ghosts. I think his personalty and leadership style would get along better with them than say, The Captain, who is too authoritarian. I also think Pat is someone who thrives in a group setting.

Robin and Mary are also tricky to work out what the thing keeping them as ghosts is because we know so little about their lives and deaths compared to the other characters. I think these are the only two ghosts who have not yet received a flashback to their lives. We know that Mary was in some way involved a witch-trail and this has traumatised her. Robin also has experienced a lot of trauma in his life but he seems to be more philosophical about it and accepting of it. He shows great empathy towards others both in trying to comfort Pat about his death in “Happy Death Day’ and Kitty in “About Last Night’, he could use his experience of trauma to help Mary deal with hers. They both seem to be looked down upon and ‘othered’ by the other ghosts due to their perceived lack of intelligence even though they are both very emotionally and socially intelligent.

If anyone has any thoughts about these last two pairings or any of the others, then please reblog and add your take!

I am not in any way saying that I think this is what will happen in the next series or what even I think should happen, but that this is one possibilities for much further down the road when the ghost are all ready to move on.

Also I have spent way too much time thinking about this…

[ttuesday]

May i please request how the S/O takes care of their VDL boy after a long or particularly rough day? Those boys work so hard they deserve a break 😩

why of course anon, in fairness those fellers work very hard... most of the time

Arthur

Arthur has a lot of rough days. It’s pretty obvious he’s the camp’s workhorse so he’s always sent to do little jobs. He’s a busy man and often spends the whole day away from camp.

When you see him hitching up his horse and trudging into camp, you can tell that today’s been particularly hard on him. It looks like he’s been in a few fights and that he hasn’t gotten a moment’s rest all day.

Normally his back is sore after the long day and from carrying the whole gang so Arthur always appreciates a back massage. And he can’t help but groan when you get that spot by his shoulders.

Your massages are guaranteed to make him feel more relaxed and usually he sleeps better after one too. As he drifts off to sleep, Arthur kisses your temple and mumbles “I don’t know what I’d do without you”.

Charles

Charles had been doing a lot lately. Not only was he continuing to do jobs for the gang, now he was helping the people in Wapiti too.

Charles doesn’t like to complain and he just gets on with his work but you knew it was becoming overwhelming for him.

There’s only one thing that can make Charles relax after a long day and that’s your touch. His heart melts as you cuddle him.

He rests his head on your chest and you play with his hair. Charles has his arms wrapped around you as he tells you about his day, feeling all the stress float away.

Dutch

When Dutch has a rough day, he gets moody. He usually makes little remarks about people not doing enough around camp so everyone knows he’s in a bad mood.

Dutch doesn’t mean to act annoyed and he doesn’t mean to push you away but it’s what he does when life gets tough. He likes to grumpily read his book or listen to some classical music instead of talking about his problems.

The best thing you can do is give him the reassurance he craves. Dutch needs to be reminded that everything’s gonna work out... hopefully.

Cuddles help too. He’s not really in the talking mood but he does want you to stay with him and run your hand up and down his back as you whisper words of encouragement and assurance to him.

Micah

Micah doesn’t like to talk about his emotions or what kinda day he’s had or how he feels about it. All his life he’s never met anyone that gave a shit about him so he’s not used to opening up.

Micah stays away from camp when he’s had a bad day, he doesn’t like having so many people near him when he’s feeling drained.

He stays quiet as you walk over to him. You can tell he’s both mentally and physically exhausted from the look in his eyes and so you pull him in for a firm yet soft hug.

Affection always makes Micah feel special and loved so kisses and cuddles is the perfect solution. And if he has any trouble sleeping, just scratch his head. I’m convinced he’d be asleep in under two minutes if you did that and maybe twirled his hair around your fingers too.

John

It’s very easy to tell when John’s had a rough day. He practically walks around camp with a pout on his face and he might go have a sulk too by the outskirts of camp.

He says he’s fine but even Blind Man Cassidy would be able to see he’s had a bad day. It takes him a while to talk about it but once you give him some attention, John starts to tell you about his day.

Honestly all John wants is some attention. He sees it as a little reminder that you care about him and no matter what his mood is, when you start asking him questions it makes John smile.

Before the day is over, John pulls you in for a hug and kisses the top of your head. He mumbles a ‘thank you’ and leaves it at that. John doesn’t like to dwell on his bad days but he still wants you to know hoe much he appreciates you being there for him.

Javier

Javier knows that relationships work through communication so when he has a rough day, he tells you about it.

It’s nice to have someone he can vent to and honestly that’s all Javier needs to feel a bit better. It’s a big believer in being as open and honest with you as possible.

He knows it’s not your job to make him feel better so if you do anything to try and cheer him up, he feels honoured. Just giving him a simple hug will make him swoon with love.

He adores how much you care about him, he’s never met someone who’s so caring and is willing to be there for him. It’s enough to make him fall in love with you all over again.

Bill

When Bill has a bad day, this man is the literal definition of grumpy. He picks fights with people and argues with absolutely anyone within a 10 metre radius of him. He’d probably try to start a fight with Jack too.

He tries to brush it off when you ask him why he’s so riled up and Bill says he’s fine. Bill’s still a little scared to be vulnerable with you so it’ll take a while for him to put down his guard and accept your help.

If you give him a hug and remind him just how much you love and care about him, all that grumpiness fades and Bill finally opens. up.

Bill’s never really felt accepted before so for you to make sure he knows that you love him for who he is, honestly there’s a high possibility he’ll cry and make up some shit excuse like saying his eyes are just ‘sweating’.

Hosea

Hosea’s had a lot of bad days in his time but they never really get easier to deal with. He knows that you have a lot going on too and he doesn’t want to bother you with his woes.

When you do ask him how he is, Hosea responses with vague answers and that’s when you know somethings wrong.

He’s honest with you when you press him for more answers but he assures you that he’s just feeling down. Hosea’s tough but eventually he cracks and leave you take care of him.

He loves it when you run your fingers through his hair and softly ramble to him about anything and everything. Listening to you talking about your day makes him relax and soon he forgets about his bad day.
