romantic gestures

bold what applies to your muse. italicize if there's potential / it depends. cross if never applies.

holding hands · buying flowers · cooking (not her forte) · cuddles · writing a poem / song (best they're getting are little made-up songs about them) · holding door open · tying shoe laces (can come across as condescending) · sharing a milkshake with two straws · offering their jacket when it's cold · kissing in the rain · publicly confessing love ("what if they're shy?!") · long walks at the beach · doing the titanic pose on a boat · taking cute pictures in a photo booth · sharing a taxi / uber · kissing the back of their hand · slow dancing · getting tickets of their favorite artist / sports team / other · introducing them to their parents · lighting candles · flower petals on bed · love letters (why write it when she can just say it? unless recorded messages count!) · star gazing · brushing / doing their hair · picnics · teaching them to play an instrument / sport while gently guiding their hands (the kinda sports lexi likes are a little less pottery-scene-from-ghost and more summer-olympics-2773) · compliments · late night drives · taking selfies together · drawing them (if they like vaguely-anime scribbles, maybe) · self-made gifts · massages · proposing with a family heirloom ring (doesn't have one to propose with)· lending them their favorite book to read (she's more of a magazine girl) · paying for dinner / coffee · mixtapes / playlists · surprise birthday parties (some people hate their birthdays and surprises) · feeding them · handing them keys to their apartment (gotta run it by her 5 superhero roommates first) · making space in drawer for their clothes when they stay over · sharing a blanket · couple costumes · tucking a hair strand behind their ear · running after them at the airport / keeping them from leaving ("if you love them, you let them go.") · moving cities to be together (she's kind of already spoken for defending her city-planet/her entire galaxy) · blowing a kiss · breakfast in bed · defending them in a fight (verbally / physically) · joint bubblebaths · dropping the L-bomb ("I love you") · dedicating a song at the karaoke bar to them · wearing their clothes · yawning before putting an arm around them while watching a movie · granting them the last bite (from meal)

on a related note I desperately need a pre-meteor au where the team somehow are already friends and get their paws on some prescription-grade gummies and it goes just about as poorly as you can imagine

in belated honor of weed's birthday I offer an addendum to my lexi-post-meteor-can-drink-like-a-fish-and-still-be-lucid hc, which is that post-meteor lexi can smoke the kinda kush that would make snoop dogg tweet "GOOD WEED" in all caps and vaporize lesser men and come out the other side perfectly fine

Normally, Lexi would have objected to being called madame when she was so clearly a mademoiselle, but with Pierre anything was an improvement over being called his petit chou-fleur or whatever and having to dredge up her secondary school French to figure out how offended she should be. It earns him a curt nod as she takes the compact in hand, by far the most agreeable she's been this whole conversation, and for a moment her world shrinks to the size of the tiny, monospaced text on the holo-screen, eyes skimming the paperwork with practiced precision.

It's all verified. Every last form accounted for. She can hardly believe it — and in fact she doesn't at first, giving the packet another incredulous once-over, but it's either a very good forgery or… it's legit. Narrowing her eyes, she swipes through the pages again, looking for the digital signatures of people she's going to Have Words With later vis-a-vis their obligation to keep their databases updated for the sake of official Loonatics intel. Whatever happened to good record-keeping, anyways?

"Y'got Mastermind to thank for that — after her last laser-pointer-death-ray fiasco it's been standard policy to require analog substitutes for basically everything."

She punctuates that with the 'snap' of the compact closing, and a flicker of remorse pinches her features — hitting him with a southpaw special felt good, especially after what he'd done to Slam (the same thing he'd done to countless others…), but he wasn't much of a threat to anyone like this, unless you counted the assault on people's sense of smell.

"Okay, it all checks out. Sorry for, uh — your face."

One pink paw moves to offer the device to him, but before he can take it back, her grip suddenly tightens, pulling it away as she eyes him cautiously. Her next words are picked carefully, looking him over as if seeing him for the first time — or maybe just sizing him up.

"Hey. Weird question, but — do you still have access to your old fighting ring contacts, Le Pew…?"

This finally wrought a frown on his face. So much for keeping up his little flirtation.

"Fine. For you, madame."

Pierre reached into the pocket of his long, velour jacket. He retrieved the compact from his pocket. The display illuminated as he presented it--his arm extended for her to take and evaluate the forms herself. Better than seeming at all like he may be trying to withhold anything.

"You will see that they have placed strict stipulations upon my release. My cane has been gutted of the remote controls. They have seized my other assets surrounding the Max Arena. I am lucky they have allowed me to have my penthouse while I am, how you say--on parole."

"Pah," he huffed, adjusting his collar. "My accounts have been so heavily restricted that I fear I cannot so much as order a suspicious looking toothbrush from the internet without being tossed away again!"

What Tarot Card Are You?

The Empress

You are only independent insofar as you have others to care for. This makes you dependent in your independence. They want your knowledge, your skills, your talents, your affection. What can they give in return? “Teeth” is not an acceptable answer, nor is “keeping the shadows to the corners”, nor is “glory”, nor is “love”. There is no acceptable answer, no gift of a magnitude which can match the thing you know, which is that they are taking from you. They are stealing from you. You should stop them from doing that, darling. You only have so much to give. You are not infinite, and when they have taken their last they will remind you of that. My advice is this: give enough to keep them at bay, but be careful. Their teeth can turn on you too. There is no easier way to make an animal dangerous than by feeding it.

"Aw, thanks! I thought it up myself — literally!"

There's no hiding her pride at her extremely telegraphed pun, hands on her hips as she gives a jaunty toss of her ears — as much a way to loosen them up after said brain blast as it was for show.

"Tech says the right term for it is, like, 'psionic energy projection' or whatever, but brain blast is way punchier — simpler, too, 'cause that's all there is to it. I think about hitting stuff, and it happens."

Something seems to click in her mind at his next question, and there's an almost apologetic tinge to her voice when she answers. "Oh, no, I got my powers about… two years ago? If you want the recipe: it's a pinch of cosmic energy, a dash of meteor, and then you mix it all together in a crater as big as a bay. Add salt to taste."

The laugh that punctuates it is a touch rueful, but she rallies quickly, eyeing him just as curiously. "– I'm guessing you've always been able t'teleport?"

@mindmxtters

"That's an impressive power. 'Brain Blast,' was it? Wonders never cease. May I ask, have you always had this ability, fräulein?"

#stunt bunny. [ ace ] #(absolute dorkass behavior and we love him for it)

[mindmxtters]

all of this to say that lexi is 100% the kind of person that will be zoning out w/ kokomo by the beach boys playing on a loop in her head, pure chillin' while looking ready to slap somebody like

and then the second she sees somebody she likes she immediately lights up like

#ooc. #''ohmigod hiii!!!'' #''haha no I'm not upset I was just bored!!!'' #it's at least arguably better(?) than her default expression being sad like it was pre-meteor #don't worry about it

[mindmxtters]

the most likely reasons why the loonatics are so often shown scowling when not actively reacting to anything in the show: makes the team look TOUGH bc this ain't your grandad's looney tunes, their default expressions on their character sheets are also frowns and that's what production artists referred to for storyboarding scenes, they're frequently interacting with villains instead of people they like, etc.

what I choose to believe: the stars aligned just right when the meteor hit to bring together 6 very different people with resting bitch face syndrome

#ooc. #whenever I skim through the show it just always cracks me tf up how absolutely PISSED the team looks sometimes #like rly the only ones who're shown smiling more than frowning are like. rev and slam. #ace smirks when he makes his one-liners but his brows are almost always furrowed. that smile is NOT reaching his eyes y'know #everyone else is so often just like >:( for literally NO reason #need some early-team interactions where they all commiserate over the fact that they're not mad their faces just kind of look like that
