i ADORE your nimona headcanons ❤️❤️❤️ i bet she’d have a whole hoard of stuffed animals and make bal memorize their names, species, and favorite things- there’s like 400 stuffies so he’s not great at it but it’s fun for both of them (except for when he forgets and she gets genuinely grumpy and frustrated with him)
!!!!!!!!!!🥺💖💖💖💖
Oh she 1000% does!!! From sharks to beetles, Nimona has them all in stuffie form! Sometimes when she's tiny, she'll feel guilty for not being able to sleep with allll of her plushies in her bed, so instead she will shift into a small animal (a little sparrow or kitten) so that she can sleep all snuggly in her plushie pile!
Ballister has a huuuge notebook that is solely dedicated to each and every plush! Each page has a drawing or picture of the plush, it's name, species, etc! He tries his darndest to remember them all xD
One time, Ballister was panicking, running around the lair looking for tiny Nimona- eventually finding her all shifted and curled against a pink zebra plush- he makes a mental note to not buy pink plushies again as he draws a blanket over the sleeping child ♡♡♡
Also! The first plush she was given by Ballister happened while they were in the market and spot a reallllly cute shark plush, but Nimona was like, "pshh, how lame, they didn't even put the right amount of gills on 'em."
But, Ballister noticed how her gaze lingered, how her thumb rolled against the fuzzy fabric before she sat it back down, walking to another stall.
They eventually get back to the lair. As they're sitting down their items (foods and probably some random weapon, Nimona "borrowed"from a guard), and while Nimona is putting away the bag, Ballister comes up behind her and clears his throat.
Nimona turns around, face to face with the goofy shark plush.
"You were looking at it for quite some time. So, I thought, you know, you'd enjoy it. I know it's not automatically correct but we could fix tha-"
His rambling is cut off as Nimona pulls him in for a tight bear hug. When the embrace ends, Nimona picks up the plush and holds it close to her face.
"Thanks, boss," she smiles.
And Ballister does too♡

A3! Boys + My Stuffed Animals
Tumblr media
Spring Troupe:
Sakuya
Gabriel
Gabriel is a small elephant with big ears that constantly make him fall over. He has a pink bowtie that says 'I Love You'
Makes Saku feel safe and Gabriel is a reminder to himself that he's loved and appreciated by everyone at Mankai.
Named after a friend from theatre class :)
Masumi
George Washington
George Washington is a tiger. He is small, but his arms are like those slap bracelets so you can wear him on your wrist (or let him hang on the side of shelf like I do).
So I got Georgy-Boy for easter 2020. i asked my friends for name ideas. They sent me stuff like 'Stripes'. I went offline for a few minutes and when I came back online I told my friends his name was George Washington.
//////////
Me: tiger has a name now
Friend: which name did you choose?
Me: his name is George Washington.
Friend: what the fuck. how'd you get George Washington?
//////////
Pretty sure he got the name bc I was listening to the Hamilton soundtrack.
Citron
Daniel
Daniel is mostly pink but has other pastel colors that look like watercolors. He's a unicorn. And a ketchain. And he's one of those dream lites, so he lights up. (He's supposed too anyway, but he's never lit up since i got him like 7 years ago at a yard sale).
Named after Daniel Howell (formerly danisnotonfire) [YouTube]
Tsuzuru
Lucifer
Lucifer is a small panda pillow pet. Very easy to travel with bc he fits in most backpacks.
My mom told me she wanted me to have a stuffed animal with a biblical name, i picked him up, looked her in the eye and said "His name is Lucifer." My mom tried to protest. "You said a biblical name, Mom. Lucifer is in the bible."
Itaru
Pao(???)
Pao is a panda. They are also a phone holder thingy. Like it'll hold your phone if you're watching movies or whatever.
Like 5-ish years old. Got them from a friend. They have a tag with their name on it, but I read it once and then just called them "the panda" for some reason instead of their actual name and now the tag is too faded to read the name, but i am 38% sure it says Pao or something close to that.
Chikage
Tsuki
Tsuki is a dinosaur. Tsuki is a sparkly dino. He's green rn, but if you brush your hand over him, the sparkles turn over and he becomes orange. I like green tho bc his tummy and the bottom of his feet are orange and so are his eyes.
Named after Tsukishima Kei (Haikyuu)
Tumblr media
Summer Troupe:
Tenma
Hinata
Hinata is a narwhal. A bright orange narwhal. Infact he is the same color as Tenma's hair.
Named after Hinata Shoyo (Haikyuu) [bc its the same color as his hair. there is a theme with this narwhal and the anime boys i associate with them]
Yuki
Steve
Steve is a regular teddy bear, except he has a shirt that has pikachu on it. (the shirt was originally Tsuki's bc i got tsuki at a friends build a bear bday party, but it fits Steve better)
I just think Yuki would try new designs/color schemes/styles by making clothes for Steve to see how they look.
I got Steve from a claw machine (my bf at time won him for me just before we watched Endgame together.)
Named after Steve Rogers (Marvel)
Muku
Eeyore
Muku most definitely loves the Winnie the Pooh movies and I will fite for this hc. He gets my Eeyore. You know how Eeyore's tail is always going missing or falling off??? Eeyore's tail comes off (velcro) but its attached to his actual body with a string so it cant be misplaced.
Eeyore has a patch that says "official disney store" but i got him for $3 at a thrift store.
Misumi
Sherlock
Sherlock is a polar bear. Sherlock is very huggable. He makes Misumi feel safe. He has a hat and scarf (that don't come off. they are sewn on him)
the hat has a pom pom on top and the scarf has a pom pom on each end. the hat and scarf and the bottom of his feet have a blue/white plaid pattern.
Kazunari
Victor
Victor is a puppy and the first big stuffed animal of mine on the list! He's all tan and abt maybe 3-4 ft long. Victor lays pretty flat so he's comfy to lay/sit on. I think Kazu would like sitting or laying on him when drawing. Probably has him on his bed so he's like a giant pillow.
Victor is from Toys R Us. I got him last August-ish from my Aunt and Uncle who found him at a thrift store and thought I'd like him.
Named after Victor Nikiforov (Yuri On Ice)
Kumon
PJ
PJ is a small white tiger. He is also a ball. He can fit in one hand. When Kumon is thinking or stressed or bored (etc) he just lays on his back and tosses PJ up into the air.
When Kumon is laying on the floor tossing PJ, Misumi sits on the bed closest to where PJ is and tries to grab him (but only if Kumon is in a good mood and okay with it) It's a fun little game they made up they like to play.
Pretty sure he was named after KickthePJ (YouTube)
Tumblr media
liber pls give us a pic with all of autumn i am begging
Autumn Troupe:
Banri
Sammy
Sammy is another one of my large stuffed animals. He is also a puppy, but unlike Victor he is sitting instead of laying. He's abt 2-3 ft tall. His fur is the same color as Banri's hair. Great to squeeze at anytime, but very therapeutic when you're in a bad mood. Has a heart on his ear.
i got him abt 7 years ago. I had just finished spn season 2 and was upset abt the finale and had no way to start season 3.
Named after Sam Winchester
Juza
Tiggs
Tiggs is a beanie baby tiger. Tiggs is a little larger than PJ (and not a ball). He's a regular orange tiger instead of a white tiger like PJ. He'd buy Kumon PJ so they could have matching stuffed animals. Small and very comforting to just hold/hug.
Omi
Benedict (Ben)
Benedict, also known as Ben, is a small koala. Just a little bigger than Tiggs. He has a heart on one of his feet (i think the right one). very soft. very fluffy.
Named after Benedict Cumberbatch (Actor)
Taichi
Dean
Dean is my largest stuffed animal. He is a dark brown teddy bear that's abt 4-ish ft tall. He can be put in a corner and used as like a bean bag chair, or he can lay down flat and be a good pillow like Victor can.
It's very fun to just wrap around him and squeeze as tight as you can. Especially in when your in a bad mood. Very comforting to cry into.
I got him a couple years ago at a thrift store.
Named after Dean Winchester (Supernatural)
Sakyo
Lev
Lev is a lion abt the size of a regular teddy bear (maybe slightly larger). I got him a thrift store so he's slightly worn out from age. He's mostly a pastel dark yellow-ish tan and his mane is dark brown. very huggable.
He's the stuffed animal I sleep with. Smells nice all the time, like the fabric softener.
Named after Lev Haiba (Haikyuu)
Sakoda
Emotional Support Iron Man
So Iron Man is small and he sparkles. He will hurt you/someone if thrown hard enough. Sakoda likes heroes bc they remind him of Sakyo they look cool. I'd hc that he got Iron Man from Sakyo when he was younger and its one of his most valued possessions and goes everywhere with him (or stays with Azamo or Sakyo at the dorm. Maybe Izumi or a couple others are on the list of who can watch over Iron Man.) Very protective of it.
Got the emotional support part of his name from a friend.
She saw Eddie Redmayne on a movie cover (think it was The Danish Girl) and started freaking out bc she loved him. I handed her the Iron Man and the next day she thanked me and said he was an Emotional Support Iron Man and the name stayed.
Azami
[Emotional Support] Spooder-Mon
Sakoda knew Azami as a kid. He most definitely got him the Spider-Man so they could have matching plushies.
Spider-Man is square and has little blob hands doing the web thingy. The tag said travel pillow, but he probably just chills by Azami's bed. When needed, Iron Man will be placed next to him if Sakoda can't take Iron Man with him.
I brought him to school one day and we had a bio test and all the people sitting around me passed him around and gave him a pat for good luck. We all got good grades and then he was dubbed as Emotional Support Spooder-Mon, but the Emotional Support title isnt part of his name (unlike the Iron Man).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i wanted guy in the pic, but i also wanted tsumu and hiso in the pic so you get 2 pics for winter
Winter Troupe:
Tsumugi
Phil
Phil is a zebra. He is a pillow pet zebra. Like Lucifer, Phil is also easy travel size. The bottom half of Phil is pink, so I refer to him as my pink zebra.
I just think it'd be cute to have Tsumugi with a pillow pet ok. I also thought he'd probably have has Phil for many years (since he was a kid) and Tasuku most definitely brings up things from when they were kids and shit.
//////////
Tasuku: you chose the pink zebra, and for what???
Tsumugi: its a very aesthetically pleasing pastel pink.
Tasuku: THERE WAS A DOG PILLOW PET RIGHT THERE AND IT WAS CUTER
Tsumugi: dont talk bad abt Phil.
the rest of mankai: ????????
//////////
I got phil before I got Lucifer many years ago. He was old when i got him and he is very old now. I love him so much.
Named after Phil Lester (AmazingPhil) [YouTube]
Tasuku
Cap
Cap is a husky. He was won from a claw machine with Steve.
There's just something abt the grey and white that gave me Tasuku vibes. Also, Cap's eyes are abt the same shade of blue as Tsumugi's and Tasuku knows this bc they are in love. Very squishy when hugged and with the way he sits, you could make it look like he's guarding something.
Named after Captain America (Marvel)
Homare
Ushijima (Ushi)
Ushijima, also called Ushi, is the last of my giant stuffed animals. He is abt 2-3 ft tall (like Sammy) and has a tail abt the same length.
Ushi is a raccoon thats mostly hot pink. Ushi's eyes are also pink and just abt the same shade as Homare's hair, although Ushi's fur is brighter by a few shades.
Ushi hurts when thrown/swung hard enough. Very fun to hug bc he's filled with beans (like beanie babies) so unlike all my other giant animals, he doesn't have to be fixed/adjusted after everytime you squeeze him. The tail has cotton tho and makes a good pillow.
Homare would definitely just see a 3 ft tall hot pink raccoon and claim it with no explanation.
Named after Ushijima Wakatoshi (Haikyuu)
Hisoka
Vladmir Dracula the 3rd (Vlad, Drac)
Vladmir Dracula the 3rd, who has many other names but usually goes by Vlad or Drac, is a vampire (surprise).
Vlad is a squishmallow thingy, and their tags say something abt them being able to be used as pillows, and thats why Hisoka gets Vlad.
Vlad is triangular in shape, with triangle ears, and triangle fangs, so I thought abt Misumi, but i figured Hisoka bc it's a pillow.
He's like the perfect travel size and he has a cape and a bowtie.
Named after Vlad the Impaler, the real life inspiration behind Dracula (my brother thought he was named after Vladmir Putin and I wanted to punch him for that but I was too busy laughing.)
Also named after Dracula, who was a vampire.
Idk where 'the 3rd' came from, but it's part of his name for forever.
Azuma
Sebastian
Sebastian is a dinosaur thats blue with a white tummy.
He's also a squishmallow, but he's bigger than Vlad by abt 2× as wide, so he'd be harder to carry around, which is why Hisoka got Vlad instead. Being a squishmallow means he looks more blob than dinosaur and i love it.
His tag said his name was Dominic or something, but I named him Sebastian before I actually checked the tag, so he's Sebastian.
Named after Sebastian (Black Butler) and Sebastian Stan (Actor)
Guy
Moriarty
Moriarty is my other polar bear. I got him with Sherlock and named him Moriarty bc Moriarty is Sherlock's nemesis.
He's just a plain white bear thats very huggable and adorable. I usually have a bowtie on him bc it makes him look fancy.
Guy would like him bc he's plain white and very fluffy.

Finally Home (Clyde Logan x Reader)
Warnings:  None! Complete fluff with our favorite boy, Clyde Logan. :)
A/N:  Post events of Logan Lucky.  Originally posted on my Wattpad.
----
     There is a massive lump in Clyde Logan's throat.  Clyde isn't really the most talkative of people.  Anyone who really knows Clyde Logan knows this, but in this moment, Clyde is positively speechless.  He takes a moment and shakes his head, thinking he heard Jimmy wrong.  The smell of burnt bacon wafts through the air as Jimmy uses a pair of tongs to flip the bacon behind the stove, letting the grease splash a bit as he looks over at his brother.
     "What did you jus' say?" he mumbles.
     "I said y/n's gonna be in town in a few days," Jimmy replies calmly, not knowing how Clyde is going to react.  "I'm gonna be busy with work so I can't be around much to entertain her."
     "Is this why you offered to come make me breakfast?" Clyde asks.  "To come an’ tell me this?"
     "Partially," Jimmy replies, coming over and setting a large plate of bacon next to Clyde's pancakes.  "I thought you might be up for spendin' a little time with her.  You two always were together."
     "That was until seventh grade.  We haven't seen her since her parents moved her away," Clyde mumbles.  "How am I of all people supposed to entertain her when I barely know anything about her anymore?"
     "Come on, Clyde.  You can do this.  You two were best friends. If you give it a chance, you both might hit it off again.  I ain't never seen a friendship stronger than the one you had with y/n," Jimmy sighs, folding his arms in front of his chest.  "You know what?  Just give it a try.  She might be a bit different, but the same y/n's still inside her.  You might have some fun, too.  You remember how she always made everything more fun for you?"
      "Jimmy, I don't know about this.  She ain’t seen me in years.  She doesn't know about-"
     "She won't judge you for your hand, Clyde.  Y/n's not that type of gal."
     Jimmy gets up and walks towards the couch to grab his coat.  He looks at his brother who's sulking in his seat.  Sighing, Jimmy goes to the door.
     "I'll tell her to meet you at the carnival Tuesday afternoon.  It shouldn't be too busy and you should be able to go on some rides and play a few games without havin' to be around too many people," Jimmy calls as he shuts the door.  As he sits alone, Clyde feels his palm get sweaty.  He knows that y/n wouldn't say anything bad about his hand, but he can't help but feel ashamed.  It's been years and so much has happened; there's been him in the army, him losing his hand, and the motor speedway heist.  He'd be barely recognizable to her.  He was the lonely little boy on the playground living in his older, more popular brother's shadow now he's the bartender at a run-down little shack off a highway with a criminal record who served ninety days in order to commit a crime that could land him behind bars forever. How can he even face her after not even sending her a letter after all this time?  They were best friends, after all, but maybe Clyde wanted a bit more than that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Clyde swallows hard.  His throat is dry.  He's nervous and his stomach feels as if the acid is going to burn through his body.  That morning, he got up early and ripped apart his entire closet trying to find something to wear to his date with y/n.
     "Clyde, don't be stupid.  This ain't a date.  I ain’t seen her in years.  There ain’t no reason this is a date," he mumbles to himself as he throws all the shirts he owns on his bed, trying to find one remotely suitable.  He becomes frustrated with himself, unable to find something nice to wear in the midst of his Bob Serger t-shirts and his grubby bartending attire.  "Now why didn't I let Mellie buy me new shirts those few weeks ago?"
     He finally pulled out a navy blue button-up shirt that wasn't horribly wrinkled, put it on with a pair of pants to match, and left only after making sure his sleeves were carefully positioned to cover his prosthesis.  Now he's standing under an awning at the Boone County fair waiting for y/n to show up.  Part of Clyde wants to run away, go back to his trailer, have a beer, and hope y/n doesn't come to meet him at all.  Tempted, Clyde turns and starts to take a step towards the place he parked his car, but he feels a small tap on his shoulder.
     "Clyde?" a soft voice says.  "Is that you?"
     He turns around and looks down.  It's you smiling up at him, and he can't help but smile back.  As he looks at you, he notices all the ways you've changed.  You've grown, of course.  You're taller and look more like a woman.  
     Your hair is shorter and you've done it up nicely in a way that looks beautiful yet effortless.  He looks down at your clothing; you're wearing a light, flowy top and a pair of nice skinny jeans with a pair of cute white shoes.  He can't help but blush a little.
     "Y/n...," he whispers, quickly hiding his left arm behind his back.  You let out a laugh and it's absolutely melodious to Clyde.  You rock back and forth in position or a second, your hands behind your back.
     "I can't believe we're finally seeing each other again.  It's been too long," you finally say.  "You're so tall and your voice changed so much!  I... missed you, Clyde."
     "I-I missed you, too," Clyde stutters.  "You lost your Boone County accent..."
     "Oh!  Yeah...  I guess I did," you smile, Clyde's awkwardness spreading to you a little.
     "It's good to see you again," Clyde smiles.  There's a small pause in the conversation.  You look up at Clyde.  He's a grown man now, but you can definitely see how the boy you used to know became the man in front of you.  You sigh a bit.  You know why this is awkward and you want to fix it so bad so it can be like old times. You want it to be like when you and Clyde would go everywhere together and eat popsicles in the backyard of your house on the old wooden porch swing.  You want Clyde to feel comfortable with you again so you can feel him give you one of his bear hugs again.
     "I'm sorry I didn't write, Clyde... I thought you would be mad at me and didn't wanna hear from me," you sigh, a bit ashamed, trying to salvage the situation.  "I left so suddenly after all.  I didn't even say a real goodbye. After I didn't hear from you after a few months I assumed-"
     "Don't worry about that, y/n.  I could never be mad at you like that," Clyde interrupts.  "I'm sorry I didn't write, too...  I didn't think you wanted a guy like me weighing you down while you were out in the big city.  I wanted you to be more than a little country girl because you're much more than that."
     "Now why would you think that, Clyde Logan?  I'm perfectly fine being a little country girl if that means we can be around each other more" you laugh and this makes him smile. He's missed your laugh so much. You take his right hand, pulling him over to some of the carnival games.  "Come on, Clyde.  Let's put those years behind us and go play some games and have some fun.  It's been too long without my best friend in the world."
     You and Clyde walk over to a dart and balloon game as a couple of kids are finishing up.  Behind the counter, a man stands with gigantic oversized stuffed animals hanging around him.  There's a dog, a dragon, a pony, and two lions but you lay your eyes on a gigantic zebra plushie with big eyes and a cute smile hanging way at the back.
     "Do you see one that you like, y/n?" Clyde asks.  
     "The zebra," you respond, pointing to the back.  "Right over there."
     "Do ya think you can win it yourself?" he asks, smiling.  You shake your head, a bit ashamed, but you know yourself and are positively sure you'd miss.  Clyde walks up to the counter and greets the man.  "How do I win that zebra?"
     "Pop five balloons in a row.  Seven dollars for five darts," the man replies and Clyde gets out his wallet from his pants pocket, taking out some dollar bills.
     "Oh!  Clyde, you really don't have to do that for me. I thought you were joking. Don't go wasting your money on me," you sigh, trying to come in between him and the man behind the counter.
     “It's alright, Darlin'," Clyde smiles, not realizing what he's just said.  "I won't miss."
     Your heart flutters as Clyde picks up one of the darts on the table.  He called you "darlin'" and didn't even notice.  The hopeless romantic at heart hopes this continues on.  Even though you were over a thousand miles away from him and hadn't seen the guy in years, your mind and heart always came back to him.  He was your first crush, but you couldn't rise to jeopardize your friendship with him.  It was too good.  
     The man steps out of the way and Clyde pops the first 4 balloons with incredible accuracy.  He picks up the last dart and holds it carefully in front of his face, aiming carefully.
     "You might wanna take down the zebra now," he tells the clerk.  
     "You haven't won yet," the guy replies with a smirk.
     "I know, but I think once I hit this one, nothing's gonna keep her apart from that zebra a moment longer," Clyde warns as he swiftly pops the fifth and final balloon.  Cheering for Clyde with a smile on your face, you wrap your arms around him, holding him tight.  You hear a rumble in his chest as he laughs with you.  You release Clyde from your grasp and collect the zebra, holding it tightly in your arms.  It's half as tall as you.  
     "Thank you, Clyde," you smile.  
     "How ‘bout we go and get you some more stuffed animals?" he asks.  You smile up at him and you take his hand and walk over together to another stand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     As the sun begins to set, you're both still at the carnival, walking off the Ferris wheel.  
     "I had so much fun today, Clyde," you smile, holding your zebra tight. 
     "Jeffery the zebra thanks you, too.  This has been the most fun I've had in a long time."
     "You named him already?" Clyde asks.
     "Well, yeah.  He's gotta have a name.  He's not just gonna be 'zebra,' now," you respond.  Clyde chuckles in response.  As you both walk back to your parked cars, illuminated by the glow of the LEDs on the Ferris wheel and the carousel, you reach out to hold his hand again, but feel something hard and cold against your fingertips.  Upon contact, Clyde lurches away from you.  You drop Jeffrey and reach out to him, finding him to be hunched over, his back to you.  "C-Clyde?"
     "I-I'm sorry...," he says, his voice shaky.  It's as if he's about to cry.
     "What on earth are you sorry for?" you ask, taking a step closer, putting a soft hand on his shoulder.  "What is it?"
     "You shouldn't see this, y/n...," he whispers.
     "Clyde... Please.  It's okay," you say calmly.  
     "No...," he whimpers, taking a step further.  You pause for a moment as your heartbreaks, seeing Clyde like this.  You wanted things to be normal and perfect again, but the truth is you haven't seen each other in ages.  Everything's changed.  He's still similar, but so much has happened that you don't know about.  He's changed.  You've changed.  It'll never be quite the same, but you can't just stand by while he seems to be hurting like this.
     "Clyde...  You can tell me anything if you want to...  I don't want you to feel uncomfortable around me," you tell him softly.  he turns ever so slightly and looks you in the eye.
     "It's not...  I...  It'll be unsettlin' for you, y/n.  It'll make you uncomfortable..."
     "How could I ever be uncomfortable around you, Clyde?"
     He sighs.  "You were gonna fight out soon enough.  Might as well be now..."
     Clyde takes his right hand and begins to roll up his left sleeve.  You see it.  His prosthesis.  It's pink and plastic.
     "It's my old one," he says.  "I got a new fancy metal one at home, but I didn't want it to be too obvious... I was ashamed of it.  I am ashamed of it. I-"
     As you look at him he freezes.  You know that look.  You know he wants to go on, but can't bear to.  You rush forward, your zebra forgotten and tackle him, giving him the biggest hug ever.  A tear drips down your face and his mouth is agape, not expecting this at all.  
     "Clyde...  It's okay.  I don't think any differently of you," you smile as he finally wraps both of his arms around you.  "If it makes you feel any better, I didn't even notice until you showed me.  I was having too much fun.  Clyde...  Look at me."
     As he looks to you, you can see the heartbreak in his eyes.  You put and hand on his cheek softly and look into his eyes.
      "I will care about you until the day I die.  I don't care if you have all your limbs or none of your limbs.  You are Clyde Logan and I will always care for you," you explain, wanting nothing more than for him to feel comfortable.  He opens his mouth to explain, but you can see how hurt he is still.  "You don't have to tell me what happened.  That can come when you're ready.  I will never desert you again and your hand will never change that."
     "You really mean that, y/n?" he asks, a look of hope spreading across his face.  
     "Of course, silly.  I would never lie to you...," you smile.  "Speaking of not lying...  I know this is all sudden, me being back in town.  I wanna tell you the truth.  I'm back and I'm here to stay."
     "Now, Darlin', you aren't jus' sayin' that are you?" he asks, trying to make sure it isn't a sick joke.
     "No, Clyde.  I'm being a hundred percent honest.  After all my time living in big cities, I wanted to come back to what I know.  I wanted to be home and I wanted to be around you.  I missed you and I couldn't stop thinking of you, no matter where I went.  I've bought a small place and I've got a job, too, so I'm not going anywhere... and I'd be honored if we could pick up where we left off in a sense?" you say hopefully.  Clyde smiles, wider than he ever has and picks you up, squeezing you tight and close to his body.
     "I know I already said this but I've missed you, y/n," he mumbles as he sets you down.
    "I missed you, too, Clyde," you sigh.
     "Why don't you come over to my place for a drink? It's not much since my trailer is a bit small, but I'd like to spend a little more time with you where we can really talk.  We'll get you back to your car when the time comes," Clyde suggests.  Taking his prosthetic hand in yours, you pull him towards the rows of parked cars.  "I take that as a yes."
     As you nod enthusiastically with the grin he's remembered all his life, Clyde feels as if his heart is about to burst from happiness.  Everything is falling into place.  You, y/n, his childhood best friend and crush, are back in Boone County and are here to stay, you are accepting of his missing a hand despite Clyde's own crippling insecurities about it, and are coming to his house for drinks after hours of hanging out at the carnival.  Maybe this is Clyde's chance to act on that old, newly rekindled school boy's crush he's had on you buried in his heart all these years.  Maybe this is when the Logan family curse is finally over and done with for good.

Chapter 3 invited me into Syo and Natsuki’s shared room! I wanted to show you guys how much their respective sides of the room represent their personality (also since their in-game room is sliiighty different from the anime’s).
When Haruka enters the room Natsuki says to her it's messy to which she thinks that everything looks clean and tidy despite what he claims. Sasuga Syo and Natsuki to have a well-organized room!
At first sight, the two sides blend well. I didn’t even notice at first that it wasn't one and the same room but, in fact, a room that’s been split in half. 
Natsuki’s side is pretty elegant, just look at the ceiling lamp and the potted plants. It’s cosy though, with the carpet and the lounge chair... You can tell that Natsuki is the more sophisticated one of the two as every single book in the room is laying on Natsuki’s side. There’s even one each on the table and the coffee table which suggests he’s been reading very recently. BUT, one question that has been consuming me, where are the plushies??
Syo’s side has a more industrial vibe to it with the woodwork on the ceiling, the spotlights and the metal racks that hold a look-see into his wardrobe. He has a lot of storage space where I imagine he puts all of his accessories. There are toiletries and hats, hats and even MORE hats on display, artwork on the wall... All proof of Syo’s sense of aesthetic. Notice also how he owns not only one but TWO mirrors and a big television screen hyuuga-sensei's movies must be watched in all their hq glory after all whereas Natsuki hasn’t got a single mirror and a very humble tv. Also, I’m pretty sure that’s zebra print on Syo’s bed.
I think it’s funny and significant how Natsuki has plants next to the door while Syo has a full-length mirror, probably to fix his appearance right before leaving for class.
If I had to pick a side, I'd pick Syo's because I really like the black-wooden aesthetic... but I'd probably sneak a couple plants over from Natsuki's side! How about you?
