MW2 Headcanons!!
This is my first time ever doing headcanons so bear with me fr, I’m spoiling myself with this lowkey self insert but shoutout to all the “crazy” sleepers, we deserve it fr.
COD guys sleeping with their “crazy” sleeping S/O
Tumblr media
cw: completely sfw, fluff, big strong killing men being soft for their s/o, gender neutral :) characters included: Simon 'Ghost' Riley, John 'Soap' MacTavish, Captain John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Phillip Graves (I can fix him fr)
Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley: ⋰ The first time you and Ghost slept in the same bed, you woke him up with the “insane” (his description) amount that you were moving. ⋰ He genuinely woke up in a panic thinking you were being attacked or something. ⋰ When he comes home to you sleeping already, it’s a process of gently reorganizing your sprawled limbs as to not wake you from what he was sure was a great sleep. ⋰ The times you two get the chance to actually lay in bed together before you fall asleep; Ghost will wrap his arms tightly around you as well as throwing a leg over you for security. This ensures that you don’t move at all, you laughed at the idea in the beginning but you’d never admit that you slept better that way anyways. 
John ‘Soap’ MacTavish: ⋰ Soap finds the way you sleep absolutely hilarious, the many times he came home to you sleeping is when he would silently lose his mind at the positions you were in.  ⋰ He has a photo album compiled of photos of you sleeping, some being pictures of your face because Soap PREACHES that you look absolutely “stunning” when you sleep. ⋰ Majority of the pictures are your weird body positions that invoke hysteria whenever he sees them.  ⋰ After he’d finish laughing at your sleeping frame, he’d simply shift you to the point where he’d wake you but you didn’t care. You’d simply make space for him; mumbling questions about his day which he’d tiredly mumbled back but before you two could even finish your incoherent conversation, you were both off to sleep. ⋰ Soap was a deep sleeper so your frequent movement didn’t bother him in the slightest, as if you two were made to sleep in the same bed together. 
Captain John Price: ⋰ Price couldn’t believe that someone could move as much as you did in your sleep.  ⋰ The first time you both slept in a bed together he awoke on multiple occasions to various limbs on his face, but what had made the experience worth it? After a while, almost as if your sleeping body had gotten tired from all the movement, you’d just get “cuddly” and he’d only awake to your grabbing hands looking for any contact of him.  ⋰ When Price came home to you sleeping he couldn’t help but laugh a little in the positions he’d find you in, but he’d simply gently adjust your frame to make space for himself as well as assuring that you weren’t doing anything that would hurt you before getting into bed. ⋰ You would think that with Price being such a “neat” sleeper that he’d hate sleeping with you but he didn’t mind in the slightest.  ⋰ He wouldn’t admit it in favor of having something to tease you about but the nights he slept with you were the only times he got a good sleep.
Alejandro Vargas: ⋰ When you and Alejandro first slept together it was the best sleep of both of your lives. ⋰ It was as if two crazy sleepers came together to make on semi-normal sleeping entity.  ⋰ You and Alejandro fell asleep in each others arms and always awoke kinda in the same way (emphasis on kinda). Whether it was you hugging his torso and him hugging your head, or his head halfway down your back, arms wrapped tightly around your waist.  ⋰ When he’d come home and you were already asleep, he’d simply get into bed and your arms would immediately find him.  ⋰ The nights that you and Alejandro got to fall asleep together you guys were always teasing and messing with each other, it would always end him wrapping his arms tightly around you, refusing to let you go and you’d end up just falling asleep in his grasp. ⋰ You both hated sleeping apart from each other, you never slept as good. 
Phillip Graves: ⋰ Graves hated the way you slept so much that he loved it, he had such mixed feelings about the way your body practically “assaulted” him while you slept. ⋰ He always complained about your sleeping habits, he’d talk your head off about it yet the nights where you both had been in the house all day long, he was practically begging you to come to bed with him.  ⋰ The nights Graves came home to you sleeping, he’d stand in the doorway and just watch your silly positions, once he was comfortable enough and had gotten his visual fill; he’d sit on his side of the bed and almost immediately your hands would tiredly find their way to his torso attempting to pull him into the abyss of the warm shared bed.  ⋰ His favorite memory of you is the time in which he awoke to you soundly sleeping on top of him with a very secure hold on him. ⋰ If you ever asked Graves what his favorite thing about you was, he’d always say the way you slept.

I don’t know if you’ve been asked this yet, but is there any particular order you recommend doing the moments for each step in?? I’m trying to figure out what moments should be played when since some of the moments trigger events in others depending on what you played first. Or! Do you guys have a preference for which you do personally?
I would say that mine is more of a preference than a recommendation, especially because I'm still doing a deep, deeeep dive into the code to really see which moments influence another (so while I'm going to give this list anyway, I also will probably redo it later after I see which moments influence one another and in which ways).
For example, if you remember the moment in Shopping where you can ask Cove "why is your dad always giving people money?" it's completely different if you've told Cove about the deal in Sandcastle first, going from Cove being puzzled by the question to understanding why the player is asking.
And speaking of Sandcastle anyway, there are some moments that I just skip altogether, specifically Sandcastle from Step 1, none from Step 2 (unless you count Derek's DLC, in which case I'd skip his version of Soiree, Siblings, and maybe Responsible), and Serendipity from Step 3. Most of it is just due to a lack of agency/choice on the player's part and/or secondhand embarrassment that I get from them.
That said, here's the order I personally go in:
Step 1
Shopping
Grown Up
Long Day
Ghost
Runaway
Fireflies
Library
Barbecue
Sleepover
My reasons are pretty basic. Shopping is a good introductory moment for the MC and Cove's relationship, just as Grown Up is a good one for Lizzie and Cove's. The other two (Long Day and Ghost) being before Runaway is because I wanted all the "negative" experiences Cove has to be before it (so the balloon popping, fighting with Lizzie, getting yelled at by the mean old people, and getting scared by the ghost).
Ghost also has to be pretty far down-ish because the opening kinda implies that you've spent a bunch of time with Cove even if it's the first one you play, so I put it as late as possible to try and make it at least slightly accurate.
And for the moments afterwards, Cove (mostly) either has a slightly better/a neutral relationship with his dad (Library with him asking about a prize, for example, even if he ignores him overall, and Barbecue with the two of them watching the fireworks together) which feels appropriate after Runaway.
The last four are mostly just ranked by how much I like them. I know Fireflies is supposed to be super important because of how much it's referenced, but I find it slightly generic compared to the others.
I also think Sleepover is a really sweet ending to yours and Cove's relationship if you manage to make him stay for the whole night, and Barbecue is just before that since you can convince Cove for eat from your spoon. Library - unlike Grown Up - gives you a choice between spending time with Cove or Lizzie so that's just an extra bonus that I feel the player should have after spending enough time with Cove.
If you play Sandcastle, then, hrm... probably before Ghost? Since Cove mentions his dad "doing whatever he wants" in Ghost so if you tell Cove about the deal in Sandcastle then it adds a bit more context to that line.
Step 2
Family
Mall
Growing
Birthday
Dinner
Wave
Escapade
Summerwork
Road Trip
Soiree
This is slightly mixed up because I wanted to pace out the moments where either Kyra/Derek appears so it's not all shoved off in one big section. Family is also first because I wanted to try to start the player off with a better impression of Elizabeth since she's usually very grumpy and by the end of Family she's more relaxed with the player.
Birthday being after Mall is because Cove is less embarrassed about sharing stuff with the MC. Some people might question why it's still so early because you lose the gummy bear toss if you have a Mixed/Studious Cove and a non-athletic MC, so it might be best to give them as many opportunities as possible for the MC to up their athletic points, but the only time to do that is in the intro so it doesn't matter.
Summerwork might seem a little late but I also thought it'd be a realistic place whether your MC was actively working on their work over the summer or was just scraping by without much interest (the drama right before the relaxation of Road Trip also feels appropriate).
Escapade before Road Trip is important because if you asked for Cove's shirt in Escapade, then you get to take it with you in Road Trip, and Soiree's placement is just obvious (especially if you play Baxter's route rather than Cove, so you end the summer with getting to meet/dance with the "mystery boy").
Step 3
Hang
Drive
Boating
Talks
Happiness
Reflection
Late Shift
Errands
Charity
Hang, Drive, and Boating work as a nice re-introductory thing for Terri+Miranda, Kyra, and Liz+Lee+Baxter respectively.
I also tried to space out the multiple moments with potential drama (Talks, Reflection, and Errands), and Happiness takes place right after Talks since you can argue with Cove in that one and it feels very Cove to immediately jump to overdoing it on making you happy after something like that.
Late Shift is only semi-random since I wanted to space out the moments where you interact with Baxter (things would obviously be different if you're going for his route). Cove also picks from the dessert menu in it which leads nicely into Errands where the MC can buy him fudge.
Though Errands is admittedly 100% personal preference because I just really like it so I put it late on the list.
Charity is obvious, though if the player prefers to date Cove in Charity (rather than dating him in the in-between or confessing at the end of Step 2) and still have moments afterwards then it can be freely moved around.
As for Serendipity if you choose to play it, probably before Boating to add to all the introductory moments?
Again, the list isn't final but this is a rough estimate. Most of them are made for narrative reasons rather than moments that are directly mentioned in others so that'll definitely change.

Hello, saw some of your anti c//a that mention how you think c//a is a bad enemies-to-lovers ship while griddlehark is a good one, and may i ask how that is? Genuine question, because i don’t like c//a, and i’m neutral on griddlehark (mainly because I don’t know much atm), from what i’ve seen/heard, it seems like it’s a lot more toxic of a dynamic than c//a is initially/pre canon? Again not trying to bait, am gen curious /genuine
This is going to be kind of disjointed, and I apologise, but this is kind of a topic that defies a simple summary.
Bear in mind that ahead be big Locked Tomb spoilers and the SP0P spoilers that basically everyone already knows.
I would say that the two critical differences are 1) the handling of the toxicity within the narrative, and 2) the structure and arrangement of the toxicity.
You are absolutely correct that pre-canon Griddlehark's mutual hatred is a toxic dynamic. They initially detest each other with a passion; one of the main plot points driving the entire series is a young Harrow having Gideon's blood under her nails after a fight.
As Gideon and Harrowhark work together, however - and here is the point where 100% of bad enemies-to-lovers arcs crash and burn - the toxicity goes down. It never becomes totally healthy - indeed, post-GtN Harrow invents an entirely new way to have an unhealthy relationship, involving performing brain surgery on herself at 17 - but the majority of the narrative is spent showing them moving from "would piss on the other's grave given the chance" to a mutually tolerated working relationship, to a growing loyalty, to the pool scene where Harrow shows Gideon more honesty and trust than she's had from anyone in her life. A lot of what makes this work is pacing and structure; every new step works because it's building on the previous ones, none of them feeling jarringly fast or unmotivated.
More than that, a big help is that the toxicity feels intentional. The relationship being Kinda Fucked is a 100% intentional thing that I'm pretty sure I've seen Tamsyn Muir talking about in interviews. It's a narrative element that Muir is monitoring and adjusting with the care of a good zookeeper trying to keep the humidity in the reptile enclosure exactly right.
(I genuinely cannot praise the writing in these books enough.)
Turning to SP0P as a contrast, its relationship has a more understated toxicity, but a much more pervasive one. Young Adora and C*tra weren't clawing at each other's faces whenever left unsupervised, but young C*tra sure did claw at Adora's face for wanting to have more than one friend! It's not the PVP arena of Growing Up Griddlehark, but "you are my friend, therefore your needs are subordinate to mine" is still far from a healthy dynamic, and the narrative never addresses it.
The bigger problem, though, is that the toxicity doesn't so much "go down" as trace out a parabola. The entire first half of the narrative shows the toxicity going up sharply, to the point of C*tra being willing to die just to make Adora miserable, then it hovers there for another quarter, and then it returns to an earlier level of toxicity. S5 C*tra's treatment of Adora stays awful. She spends "Taking Control" throwing a tantrum over how the real problem is Adora and the others being mad at her; she portrays herself as the wounded party in her like four separate murder attempts on Adora in "An Ill Wind" to produce the worst line of the show; she continues throwing tantrums whenever she doesn't get what she wants and making everything about herself right up to the love confession, including that confession ("stay with me, the person who spent four seasons refusing to stay with you!"). It feels bizarre that Adora goes from "even if you're my best friend, I won't let you blame me for shit that isn't my fault" in S4 to doing nothing but looking sad when C*tra portrays her as being in the wrong for not just meekly standing by while C*tra burned down her home and murdered her friends.
And - and I'll acknowledge that a big part of this is probably executive fuckery, I just don't think that really matters - the pacing and structure absolutely are not helping. I could buy S5's sudden reversal if C*tra and Adora had had a fun, weightless enmity where there was an obvious respect between them. They don't. C*tra spends a truly distressing amount of time utterly consumed by the desire to cause Adora as much pain as possible, to the point of attempting a murder-suicide on the entire world. No point in S2-S4 shows a C*tra who Can't Bring Herself to Really Hurt Adora, regardless of the things the stans have convinced themselves they saw; she's so totally driven by spite that she tears her own life to shreds in the hope Adora will be caught up in the edges. The relationship has to do a sudden R*ylo swerve rather than building on what's gone before because "what's gone before" is like three plot points in the first season that have been narratively overwhelmed by C*tra's multiseason campaign of cruelty like a single pea being weighed against the USS Nimitz.
This is where intentionality comes into play. The toxicity in c/a is just there. For all the bullshit about C*tra's story being about what happens when you're the toxic friend, it doesn't feel like an intentional narrative element that is seriously being examined; it feels like a writing fuck-up where C*tra was supposed to feel like way less of a stalker asshole.
Anyway, I hope this has made some vague semblance of sense, but I've been at this for like an hour and I'm tired and I need to go check on a craft project.

🪱 here so i have been thinking and i need to get more opinions on this but who would give the best cuddles? My list would be
Beel
Asmo
Belphie
Dia
Thirteen
Levi
Mammon
Simeon
Solomon
Satan
Barb
Luci
Raph
What do you think?
Welcome back, 🪱 anon!
Okay so I have to consider this without the bias of my favorites, I think. Because otherwise they’ll end up at the top every time lol. So I am attempting to list them from a more neutral standpoint!
Belphie - the man carries a whole pillow around with him, it just gives me Expert Cuddler vibes.
Asmo - sweet, soft, already so touchy feely you just know he’d be a pro.
Beel - hello he’s basically a big teddy bear. Also consider the Beel/Belphie combo… perfection.
Mammon - acts all tough but this guy just wants to cuddle so bad. So when you do, he’s all in. Mayyybe a little clingy but personally I’m okay with that lol.
Satan - when he’s not angry, I really get sweet romantic vibes from him. So I think he’d be good at cuddling.
Simeon - he’s got soft sweet angel vibes.
Thirteen - I want her higher on the list because I would love to cuddle with her, but I feel like I don’t know her cuddle propensity well enough lol. So she’s kinda in the middle because boobs always enhance the cuddling experience imo.
Diavolo - another teddy bear but also would be so happy to cuddle with you.
Barbatos - when he finally takes a break, it’s a rare and precious moment, so you know he’s gonna be prepared to cuddle with you.
Solomon - loves to touch you in any capacity, so likely good at cuddling. Probably has a harder time only cuddling though lol.
Levi - sleeps in a tub. I’m sorry I love him but what is that about?? Levi in demon form would be higher on my list because of his tail. I think it’d be really nice to have it wrapped around you.
Lucifer - not the worst, but doesn’t indulge you very much so it probably rarely happens.
Mephisto - listed down here because I don’t get cuddly vibes from him at all, but could possibly move up if we get to know him better.
Raphael - dead last. I like him, but he definitely does not make me think ah yes I wanna cuddle with that guy lol.
Anyway, that’s my list! Of course this is just my personal opinion. And honestly everyone deserves a good cuddle so I would never reject any of them… even Raphael lol.

so i saw this post and could only think of what tracks the rest of the traffic smp members would be in and what their palismen would be (in my opinion)! i’m also going to try and not make all the palisman birds and cats since those seem to be super common!
skizz, mumbo, and lizzie are all included but disclaimer! i do not know a lot about some of the others on here and my info for most of them is just from stuff that i’ve watched including stuff outside of the traffic smp! this is just for fun so enjoy!
• grian: abomination and oracle. i like the abomination wings he has in the art and i feel like being a watcher is just very oracle like. pesky bird palisman!
• scar: illusion, plant, and beastkeeping. i like that the art has him in the illusion track with his crystals and stuff (his shady businessman side) but also consider the fact that he is a tree elf in season 9 of hermitcraft (plant) and is always taking care of/wrangling some type of animal (the ravager, the charged creepers, the jellie pandas, etc.). jellie is his palisman ofc.
• jimmy: potions. i think i just have potions in my brain for him bc it’s the yellow track/coven and i associate jimmy with yellow. i can also see this funky little guy just mixing stuff up and half of the time making smth really cool and have no idea how he did it and the other half is just stuff blowing up. his palisman would either be a canary or a cod. i can’t decide lol
• tango: construction and abomination. he’s always doing/making something super cool and i feel like that’s what these tracks do. palisman is a phoenix. why? i like the fanarts where tango has firey hair and phoenixes are like always on fire and it would make a sick palisman.
• joel: illusion and construction. i like to imagine him as the matholomule of the mcyt universe as a whole. he’s kinda annoying and a jerk (affectionately) and is just a guy who wants a bit of chaos and is egotistical upfront. he has soooo many illusions! his best one is the one where he makes himself 11 feet tall! crazy! he’s also one of my favorite builders (hence the construction) but is not afraid to use his construction abilities to fight (provoked or unprovoked he will kill over the slightest things). his palisman is literally just a tiny shrek.
• etho: this one’s hard but i think he would like to study abomination magic. why? idk i didn’t know what to put etho in. he’s kinda a mysterious guy and i kinda like to think he would be just some neutral ground guy that shows up once in a while to either help or just blow stuff up. his palisman would be a polar bear bc i feel like it matches his aesthetic nicely.
• ren: bard. i mean the guy is very theatrical and his instrument/weapon would be a lute. his palisman would be a husky bc it’s gotta be a dog and i think that’s his favorite breed?
• bigb: healing? idk i don’t really know much about bigb other than the fact that he really likes cookies and grian loves him. i think it’s only fair that his palisman is some sort of cookie that comes alive when off the staff.
• martyn: plant and oracle. watcher lore type stuff and inthelittleWOOD thanks to @booisghost for the plant track suggestion! his palisman would be a song bird also thanks to the person above! (sorry this one’s lame i don’t watch martyn)
• cleo: oracle. they look undead when you use them and theyre powerful. that’s all she needed to know when deciding what type of magic she wanted to study. her palisman would be a king cobra because snakes are badass, intimidating, she made a snake base and her season 9 hair is made of snakes
• impulse: healing and potions. yeah the man may like some chaos once in a while but he’s just a gentle boi and would gladly heal injured ppl. potions are simply for the chaos side and maybe how the concoctions in the season 8 candy factory were made. his palisman is a buffalo.
• bdubs: plant. he moss boi. the scrunkly scrimblo. his palisman is a moon or redstone clock that comes alive when off the staff (kinda like bigb’s) and it has to be very cartoonish with big eyes that match his so they both just look at you like 👁👁 all of the time
• scott: bard and plant. i’ve got a deeaaal with destiny and flower husbands. i also think he would use a flute. that’s all the explanation you’re getting. i have so many ideas for what his palisman would be but i narrowed it down to either a stag or a llama.
• pearl: plant and beastkeeping. plant = for empires farm girl. beastkeeping is because of her love for tilly/aliens/dragons. her palisman is some funky alien creature that is upside down for some reason (if you could even really tell). nobody knows what it is, including her but she loves it with all her heart. she doesn’t know what it is bc she found it in the woods one day and it turned into a staff for her and she was like “lol ok i guess this is mine now”
• skizz: construction. don’t know much about the guy but he seems like he would be good for the construction track/coven simply based off of vibes. i think it would be cool of him to have a black bear palisman.
• mumbo: abomination. i think he would kinda be like alador bc in my mind his redstone contraptions are like the abomatons. i would do smth with the end crystals but idk what type of magic that would be so yeah. i honestly don’t know what his palisman would be but it would definitely have a mustache.
• lizzie: bard, illusion, and oracle. we all know that lizzie is musically talented and she could use that to her advantage during fights and her music weapon of choice would be a trumpet. she’s also very crafty so i could see her using illusions too (maybe even her empires 2 skin is an illusion but she’s not strong enough to make it complete at all times). she’s also in the oracle track because she thought it was cool and why not? her palisman is an axolotl or a fox.
anyway this was really fun to make and lmk if you agree or disagree with any of these! i’m open to suggestions :D

Hey sleepy! If your main characters were a poem, or a song, which poem or song would they be?
I'll never have the energy for these asks, so instead I am answering on low battery. forgive me for using my own poetry for this because I know them best.
I will answer for City Story because I feel like the city story girls (gender neutral) will appreciate it.
but under the cut because I am going to post 7 whole poems.
Jet: the closeness keeps us apart
you were lilacs and a window and a blessing in disguise. there was easy absinthe in the way you lied. I hated you at first glance. the ribbed sweater, the glass in your eyebrow, the creak in the floorboards when you walked past my door. you left wood smoke on the table and your shoes lying in the sink. the lines of your countenance were an affront to the eyes. I closed mine. for a moment there was so much silence in thunder that I was trembling with the sound. is there truly nothing louder than this cold that surrounds? I could still hear you aching when you showered in the rain. if you have to be so close to me, why must you be in pain? you were thorns at the doorway and broken plates on the welcome mat. there was easy emptiness when you shook the night from your elbows. I hated you and it showed. but don’t leave me, and hold me closer while we bleed, ‘cause I can bear anything but the space. I know we’re not okay. I know.
Rune: the sound inside my chest
but if scream my throat will shatter, I will fade out the sun, I will spend the summer twilight as an echo of my lungs. if I scream I have not breath left to defend what I once thought to be true - that shadows still are people, and that they were made of you.
Copper: technically that's how you write a song
Sure, it’s not the same That’s why it has a different name But it’s familiar - like a song you sang in choir A poem given music to change the pace of sound Clipped wings complaining that they’d just like to sing now Did you see me on the offbeat? Did you catch when I fell flat? I used to joke about parades I saw you on the stage You are a star, imagine that My eyes are kinda blurry I’ll try again next week But I think I’m lying
Moss: no further, no farther
with feathers and salt, and a line in the sand, a heartache, a promise, an insufferable gaze; there is soot on your fingers and blood on my hands, we run back to the shore and set the old things ablaze; there’s pages with writing that loops and winds round the edge, falling to pieces with everything you said; the nightingales will cover us if only we ask, the ocean will accompany us on our way back; with feathers and salt and that line in the sand, no further, no farther, I’m holding your hand
Shadow: unfortunately, we are living on the ground
try boiling words in acid and perhaps you can summarize the disgust with which we experience delight on a surreal level combining the unpleasant taste of joy well earned and bitterness that someone else left behind such that if a meteor caught itself in our pockets we would throw it away without a wish because cynicism is less risky than a daydream said out loud
Hawk: an abyss before us, no teeth
we wade into the mouths with no thoughts of our own; the tongues are made of sand and glass and swallow with a groan. there are chills along our spines that we feel as phantom limbs; the oak trees in the sea break as they were never meant to swim. we lie in beds of copper while the sunlight drains us dry; the emptiness of dreams not ours dance sideways in our eyes. there are whales along the corridors that narrow as we drown; the peppermint and alabaster scream the whole way down. we wade into the mouths without a thought for other friends; it matters not the consequence, only that it ends.
Yarrow: ellipses of thought no.10
I was considering: the heaviness of air, the touch of damp upon the stair, the empty promise of rain, the worn out jeans and dirt stains, the shoes with grass on the soles, the fingertips through jacket holes - the quiet of a sleeping house, the need to grouse, the want to be heard, the yearning for answers - the satisfaction of washing dishes, the twinkling hope on soap bubble wishes, the hours and hours, overgrown bushes and cut flowers; consider them considered, those dreams sliced with scissors: here’s a piece for me, here’s a piece for you.
(belated) thanks for asking, Hunter!
the city story girls: @klywrites @ren-c-leyn @kaiusvnoir @zoya-writes @selene-stories @enchanted-lightning-aes @oh-no-another-idea @diphthongsfordays @wildswrites @blind-the-winds @drippingmoon

I feel like talking abt bloodline communion fenix a bit so lemme just put it here 😔 let me be cringe
it’s kinda very divergent from the original idv Halloween story. Actually the entire au is obviously but yeah. This story fucking sucks I’m sorry … I will improve it one day <( has been saying that for the past 2 years )
IM SORRY IM TERRIBLE AT EXPLAINING AND MAKING UP SHIT DONT COME SMOKE MY ASS PLEASE ..
basically this dude is a demigod that suffers . erm . quite a bit throughout the entire story—
he was originally created by a deity that opposed the one who mothered their universe/humanity/demons/vampires etc. and whom was (indirectly) responsible for the creation of ‘the embrace’ (that phenomenon was created by dream witch, however she was sort of this entities ‘pet’ or ‘accomplice’)
he was granted with immortality (as a phoenix would .. ) at the expense of mass destruction if he were to ever die
important: he has a ‘spirit’ after death, which has the ability to ‘save’ or restore worlds when it is destroyed by a god. if that makes sense. if it doesn’t pretend it does
the reason he can do that is bcz the deity that birthed him wanted to create someone who could sorta ‘stand up’ to the ones they opposed. they knew they would fall eventually but needed to make fenix as some sort of last hope thing for the world. idk ok bear with me
 anyways he was abandoned by said deity because of a war, and yeah they died and pretty much all good fell, so the world would slowly enclose in darkness
he was discovered and brought into the church, raised by oracle and his sister moonblessed, however he soon found out the church was following the order and teachings of the first embrace (more info on this later maybe), whom he opposed…
looking for a way to protect his family from possibly being affected by this insane order and all the devious ass gods who were apart of this, he came into contact with samhain (celtic god of death) and who granted him higher , yet darker power, in the exchange of becoming his servant. my samhain stands neutral between the good and evil of this universe but is morally ambiguous asw
also: in this au samhain is still rebuked by the church, though he was originally on the ‘darker’ side of the world that secretly governs the church, there was a bit of a. drama. so now he begrudges them and they don’t accept him
also moonblessed doesn’t follow samhain, but she still sorta goes crazy and soon perishes bcz of the church and their mad obsession with the tome (that thing drives ppl insane and a lot of bad shit happens down the road there). I’m sorry moonblessed I love you </3
fenix is soon discovered to be a servant of samhain, the night of sacrifice still kinda happens, except fenix manages to escape and go into hiding during his execution and the priests just assumed he had perished (which is kinda stupid he’s literally a pheonix, but do you think they’d know he’s immortal? he’s the first one to exist theres no history of his kind)
after centuries of isolation, the world is fucking crumbling . whole ass purge shit. which actually brings him out of hiding.
fenix discovered the state of the world and encounters first embrace who knew what happened to him and his fam (i mean he’s literally some all-knowing guy so) and who has been looking for him. fenix recognises him (as the guy who is responsible for the fall of humanity, indoctrinating his family and the death of his sister) and kinda looses his composure — goes ham
(also first embrace and the embrace from my blog aren’t the same person, first embrace was around much longer than him, but they share the spirit of ‘the embrace’ … don’t get it mixed up 😋)
anyways boy do they fight, fenix is easily overpowered by first embrace bcz he’s omnipotent and shit errr im sorry bird man. then he’s told of first embrace’s plans to erase the universe and renew it (that’s his will 🥺🥺🥺) — and wants to use fenix as a catalyst for the ‘renewal’. honestly he could very well do it himself but he’s too devious to not give other ppl problems. he thinks it’s hilarious actually I can’t stand this guy
then he uhh. kills fenix. causing him to explode and eradicate what remains of the world during this purge. then the universe is erased by first embrace, and the spirit of fenix brings about a complete reset.
unfortunately for him and the wishes of his parent deity, evil gods can still come back after a reset. so this sort of thing repeats a lot, the world is constantly renewed, fenix ends up dying and coming back several times for the sake of it. he never sees his family in any other timeline tho, only in the first one where he originated from, whoops
timeskip — it comes to the current timeline … he returns when the embrace we all know is embraced (ba dum tss) .. then the rest is spoilers 💜
also to add, yes fenix is still a ‘servant’ of samhain but over the course of many resets they kinda became a little distanced
it’s all a little strange, no good exists anymore yet they still fight to save the world ..
sorry yeah that’s all I’m sharing for now if ur reading this I’m sorry uh sorry you had to sit thru and read all that bullshit … I’ve got more info to cover plot holes but I can’t put it all here bcz it’d be too long.
AUGHHH. AUGHHRRRH. ARRRR. IM RUNNING AWAYYY.

Thoughts on Sci-Fi and What I Want from It
I’ve been pondering why, exactly, I’m often unable to enjoy sci-fi and why the genre as a whole tends to disappoint me. Today I believe I have hit upon the answer.
First off, a disclaimer that this is not me trying to say that dystopian fiction or any sci-fi with a negative tone is bad or not worth writing/reading. Those stories are important too, and I can recognize the literary or cinematic significance of them even if I don’t particularly like them. I can understand why it’s vital to have stories about the dark side of the scientific community and its history (eugenics, racial science, nuclear weapons, experiments and clinical trials on unwilling participants, forced abortion/sterilization, classifying homosexuality as a disease, etc.) because obviously we want to learn from the past and avoid repeating it. That’s all fine. Good, even. But I feel like they, along with dystopian/apocalypse fiction, government conspiracies, nuclear war, and climate doom stories, make up a huge chunk of the sci-fi genre. Concepts like killer aliens, killer robots or other machines, killer zombies, and killer plants are also staples of sci-fi.
And I’m just…kinda tired of it.
The only time I really remember being excited about science was when I was in elementary school. Because back then, we weren’t learning about all the awful things science could lead to or had discovered. We were learning about dinosaurs and animals and flowers and outer space and what happens when you put Mentos in soda. We were learning about the cool parts of science and were encouraged to want to be part of it. We were watching Bill Nye the Science Guy and The Magic School Bus and I remember thinking that science was so much FUN! Even as an adult, I love going to zoos and aquariums because it’s so nice to read interesting info about grizzly bears and sea turtles.
That’s what I really wish the sci-fi genre had more of. Stories that are celebrations of science and the natural world with all of their possibilities rather than warnings and grim predictions. Stories where the characters are having fun, the creatures are friendly or at least not malicious, and it’s just a nice adventure. There’s still conflict, sure, but the tone of the story is a light one and the message isn’t all about how cruel the world can be.
Weirdly enough, some of the sci-fi that I’ve enjoyed the most has been Pinky & the Brain and Kirby games. I’ll admit I’m stretching the definition on the latter since Kirby may be more fantasy, but I’d like to think it could also count as sci-fi since Kirby is technically an alien from another planet. What both of these media have in common is that they’re fun. Every planet Kirby goes to is a beautiful place with stunning visuals and Lisa Frank levels of color. Instead of barren desert wastelands, there’s lots of forests and beaches and starry nights. There’s still conflict, but it’s not doomer, end-of-the-world conflict most of the time and the tone is still lighthearted and happy. It isn’t trying to have a cynical commentary about human nature and technology or anything like that, it’s just “Here’s a pretty planet with cute-looking creatures, go run around and have a blast! See what this pink little alien can do!”
And with Pinky & the Brain, it does occasionally show the dark side of animal testing like when Brain is mistreated by the scientists, but that isn’t the focus of the show. It’s about his relationship with Pinky and their adventures together. There’s still lots of comedy and fun even if it isn’t all sugar and rainbows. Them being genetically altered lab mice isn’t even presented as a bad thing, it’s more neutral. It’s just what they are. The show doesn’t have any bigger point to make about that.
An even better example is the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series. There’s PLENTY of horrible actions in there, much of it reflecting real-world atrocities, but it’s still not a dystopian or tragic story. It shows the positive parts of what science can do and has more good things to say about humanity than bad. The ending is happy. There’s tons of comedy. The characters get to have nice, positive moments. And with the exception of the villains, the characters are all good people who want good things. Hell, even the villains aren’t all one-dimensionally bad.
That’s what I want. I deeply wish that positive sci-fi and scientific content wasn’t mostly aimed at kids. To be fair, there probably is some out there for adults that I just haven’t found yet (feel free to suggest recommendations!), but it feels like every time I see a sci-fi story advertised or browse the sci-fi section of a bookstore, it’s all about the darkness.
I just want to feel as excited about science as an adult as I did when I was a kid.
And I wish the stories that feature science made that easier to do.

TOMORROW AND TOMORROW AND TOMORROW
Didnt get a chance to watch Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow until tonight for various reasons, so pardon my late review!
Anyway, for the 2nd week in a row we get that most classic of Trekisms - a really flimsy metaphor for something presented in a way that's kind of insulting if you think about for more than a minute, but this time, also wrapped in some absolutely top tier character torture porn (complimentary)!
Like, the metaphors get a bit tiring and insulting, but... it's nice to have a Star Trek that's doing them again in a way we havent seen since DS9 and Voyager.
Anyway, Viewing Notes:
Who kept my sweet sweet spock from playing the music of his soul? WHO ARE THEY I JUST WANT TO TALK
(also damn starfleet couldnt spring for the noise dampening walls?)
Poor M'Benga. You tried ;_;
"You don't have to bear this alone" OH DOESN'T SHE?????????????
Kinda funny (as in sad funny) M'Benga said that too, since I think he STILL hasn't been able to reveal that he was smuggling Rukiya for years, even if Una eventually found out and agreed to keep his secret.
NGL, Exasperated Kirk in the Alleyway kinda had me laughing a bit. To say nothing of the clothing scene. And the Chess Scene. And the Hot Dog scene. As much as I didnt want to like La'an/Kirk, this is a pretty classic screwball romance setup and I am a SUCKER for those. So. Fine. You got me. I kinda sorta ship it.
Oooo, so THAT'S why this Kirk says he's from Space. Oof. There's a kicker.
I gotta say, New Kirk is making a believer out of me. He's not Shatner at all, which I think he doesn't need to be, but even in this "Earth is kinda Xenophobic" AU, he has that kind of quiet confidence and latent nerdiness of classic TOS Kirk. He's got the sassiness (That little one of us has got to change look he gave to Laan and the Heck yeah I'll just hustle people at chess for money thing) combined with the chivalry (Immediately changing so La'an can have her preferred outfit, charming the people he vanquished at chess with a handshake and a smile) that really works for me.
"Get to the Bridge" oh my gosh SNEAKY AS THE DICKENS.
Pelia remains an absolute delight in every appearance. I kinda love how she just... wasnt a great engineer though? Why would she be? She's immortal, but she's also just a person trying to survive, and she has hundreds of years to live! We need more Immortals who are just this guy (gender neutral), to be honest. Why would she have kept up on engineering stuff for a few hundred years? That would probably get boring! Hell, maybe that's why Scotty replaces her, she gets bored of engineering and decides to try something else! It makes perfect since she didnt learn it yet!
Aaaaand now we get the part I'm not sure I like: What if you went back in time to Defend Baby Hitler from the people who came back in time to kill him, because if you didnt, the future would be worse? Also it's implied Baby Hitler is being, if not actively tortured, at least definitely imprisoned against his will and separated from his friends and family.
I mean... Listen, I get Khan is fictional, as are the eugenics wars, but the metaphor is... I dunno man, the comparison is there and it's kind of iffy, and I while I understand how it kind of adds more dimensions to La'an's struggle with her ancestry, the whole "Millions of people have to suffer and die because thats the way the timeline has to be" sticks in my craw. It'd be like if Past Tense made the twist that the DS9 crew had to kill Gabriel Bell instead of impersonating him at the right moments. I just don't think this was the right story to tell.
I think I can kinda deal with it because you know, this is Star Trek. But gosh, this will not replace Past Tense as my favorite Star Trek time travel story any time soon, no matter how charming Alternate Kirk was.
Sera's rant about the timeline is interesting. One one hand, the clever little "Timeline reasserting itself" to explain plot holes like that Time Voyager travelled back to the 90s and there was no sign of Eugenics Wars was kinda fun, but on the other hand, it smacks of the same kind of overexplaining I disliked with having M'Benga introduce Spock to the harp. Sometimes its enough that Spock plays the Harp! Sometimes its enough that when a single universe lasts for half a century and is written by hundreds of people over multiple series and mediums, little continuity errors slip in!
(nitpick time: You're telling me she cant at least talk to Pelia about this? If they "fixed" things and this is her timeline Pelia should remember her, right? Hell, they outright implied La'an's visit was the reason she became an engineer in the first place! Maybe she mentioned the bunker in Vermont specifically so La'an would know to go meet her there whenever the time travel happened, and threw in the "That painting is a Fake" because she remembered talking about it with La'an! TALK TO PELIA, LA'AN!). I suppose the idea might be that Pelia doesn't know exactly why La'an was in the past and cant be allowed to know more, but. Ugh.
Cuz like, listen, I know the dramatic weight requires La'an not to talk to anyone, but like. The Temporal police dont employ any counselors? If they're saving Mass Murderers from assassination on the reg, La'an can't be the first temporal agent to have mental health issues over that, even as a temporary recruit pressganged into service to save her own ancestor. And it's not like Pike could change anything if she told him, that stuff happened IN THE PAST!
BASICALLY LA'AN IS SUFFERING AND SHE DESERVES SOME COMFORT COME ON I EXPECT BETTER FROM STARFLEET EVEN THE DUMBASS SECRETIVE TIME POLICE DIVISION
Like gosh, that lady was ice cold i think even if Alt!Kirk had survived and hopped a ride over on that little device she would have killed him just to preserve the timeline or some shit.
I dunno. Time travel stuff. Ugh.
Anyway, OK Episode, I loved alternate Kirk, loved La'an and Kirk's shenanigans in modern Toronto/Vermont before things got real, kinda shipped La'an/Kirk in spite of myself, and the temporal intrigue was... intriguing, but "Let's Save Baby Hitler" left a sour taste in my mouth. On to the next Ep!

I don’t think that last post is true because Loki is being played by a human actor! Tom Hiddleston can’t really just go into REM on set you know
If he was really dedicated he would 😤
But all jokes aside, that’s fine nonny, you don’t have to agree. There’s plenty of scenes you could look at, I’m sure, from many pieces of media where someone is “sleeping” and they’re not blinking and don’t wake up suddenly. And for the sake of the argument, you could fake REM if you really wanted to by moving your eyes under your eyelids. I think the more convincing part of the argument is that he wakes up so quickly, but then again I suppose you could just say that Loki is a light sleeper 🤷‍♀️

hey so i was wanting to know if u could do a sdc or bucci gang with an affectionate s/o? either one is fine and can u use gender neutral pronouns pls?
AN: I can totally do both!! Thank you for requesting, I really like doing JJBA :,) Can't wait for Part 6 to come out- Anywayz, you didn't specify if you wanted hcs or not so I just went with hcs, so hope you enjoy!!!
Stardust Crusaders
Jotaro:
- Jotaro's a very emotionally reserved man. There are very few people that he's shown emotion or affection to if any. His mother, his friends, and well, you.
- So when you two started dating, he had to get used to someone who was so dependant on him for love and attention.
- I'm not saying that Jotaro doesn't like showing you attention, because it's quite the opposite!
- Though if you want attention and you're with other people with Joot, he's not going to be so willing. He prefers one-on-one or not at all. The most he'll give you is hand-holding in public, but even then he's hesitant.
- One of his favorite things to do with you behind closed doors is holding you on his lap because let's face it, you're most likely tiny compared to him, and look at him- He's probably so comfy to lay on.
Kakyoin:
- He's not as reserved as Jotaro, and actually prefers that you give him affection in public. Not only does he get to make you happy, but he also gets to send a message to everyone else that you're taken.
- If you let him, and he'll always ask before, he'll gladly braid your hair or give you massages. He's very good with his hands and loves treating you.
- He doesn't mind that you're super affectionate, and he actually prefers it, especially when you two share a bed. He's going to have you pressed against him, his arms around you. Yes, he's not as big or tall as any of the others but you're still a teddy bear for him.
- After the events of Part 3, where he is fine, he's a little traumatized, so he's going to be extra clingy, and whatever affection you give him, he's going to give back to you tenfold.
Polnareff:
- This man, out of the bunch, will be the MOST affectionate. He 6 feet of pure love that he wants to give to you.
- He loves PDA, and will be all smug, even if his friends are disgusted by how lovey-dovey you two are.
- Like Jotaro, he wants you to sit on him, but if you choose to do so, he might get handsy with you.
- Pol does not care in what way you two are touching, but he will always have some sort of grip on you, and not in a bad way! He just loves either holding your hand, having an arm around your shoulder, or having a hand at your hip.
Avdol:
- He, like Polnareff, is very keen on affection. Avdol loves you so much and through his words and actions, he wants to show you just how much he loves you.
- He's not very big of having you on his lap as he finds it a bit uncomfortable as his legs fall asleep pretty quickly, but if you ask him really nicely [or just straight up beg him], he'll cave. After all, you are his sweet spot.
- Avdol isn't the biggest for PDA, but if you want to give him a kiss in public or hold hands, then who is he to tell you no.
- At night as well, he loves to have some sort of hold you. He doesn't have to be pressed up to you, but if you're okay with it, he's just very big on touching you and making sure you're still safe, and with him.
Bucci Gang:
[These are going to be a bit shorter since there are more of them in the Bucci Gang :,)]
Bruno:
- Bruno isn't big on PDA, but he LOVES giving you affection. He doesn't care how clingy or affectionate you are.
- Unless he has to do work for the gang or post part 5, for Giorno. If he's overworking himself though, and you beg him to give you affection or just any sort of attention, he'll probably cave real fast.
- This is Bruno we're talking about, he's probably the softest of the group, and because he is, he's not going to be very good at saying no to most things you ask.
- He prefers to spoon you, but if you want to hold him, he's not going to take much begging.
Abbachio:
- I know, I know, this stone-cold man probably wouldn't like PDA, but I think deep down, he does.
- I personally hc that it's kinda like a 'stick it' to some other certain members of the gang. *cough* Giorno *cough* Maybe cause he's better and has such a loving s/o. Or maybe it's just because he's just too shocked that someone loves him that much to give him so much attention and love.
- He's also very big on cuddling, preferably when it's just you two.
Trish:
- Trish loves PDA, and hell, she's just as affectionate as you.
- She's lost so much in her life, and because of that, she's learned to be thankful for those she does have, so any time that you want to snuggle, or have her hold your hand, she is 100% down for that.
- She loves being spooned by you, and it's a win-win for both of you. She gets to feel safe, loved, and secure and you get to hold her.
Fugo:
- He's going to be a little like Abbachio.
- Not that doesn't mean he doesn't love you or doesn't love the attention that you give him, he just doesn't believe that someone as great as you loves him and wants to show him that.
- So when you finally do get him to give you affection, it's going to start out very slow, you'll have to work you're way up to full-on snuggling with Fugo.
Giorno:
- He's touch starved.
- I mean look at this kid. He has a shitty upbringing and one with very little love or cares for his sake.
- So when you want to love on him, he is 100% down. He doesn't need to beg or ask for it, you don't even need to finish your sentence, he's already by your side, down to do what you want.
- He's not the biggest on PDA though, but he will hold your hand.
Mista
- He's a whore. Okay? He's going to be as equally touchy-feely as you if not more.
- Like Pol and Joot, he's going to have you sit on him, and it's worth it because this man is comfortable as hell. He's like a whole-body pillow.
- Another perk of having a man-whore of a boyfriend is that he's so down for PDA. He'll cover you with kisses, hold you, or your hand, even spank your ass [if you let him, consent matters to him big time]. He also gets a kick from it when it grosses out Abbachio and Fugo.
Narancia:
- Like Giorno, he's going to be so touch starved.
- Please hold him.
- He's pretty big on PDA as well and will be a little childish when giving you kisses. He also loves swinging your hands when he holds it.
- He won't let you sit on his lap, only because you might mush him, though he will cuddle you.
- If you do cuddle him, he's not going to let you go, so good luck going to get up to pee/eat. The only way you're getting out of his clutches is if he gets to come with you or he's asleep.

staying behind
(tiktok trend)
Tumblr media
*♡∞:。.。 — 1.4k followers special —
character(s) : multiple characters
legend : [Y/N = your name, L/N = last name] gender neutral! quirk not mentioned here
note(s) : this was based off the tiktok trend where you stop walking to see if your friends or s/o notice. I THINK THIS WOULD BE SO FUNNY?? i’ll do this for the haikyuu characters too. also this is kinda short so im sorry—
(ALSO I KNOW WHAT BOBO MEANS LMAO)
· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·
TODOROKI SHOUTO
immediately notices that you’re gone.
i mean, you’re usually the one that’s leading the conversation, he’s just listening to his s/o talk 🤠
you guys were walking to the hospital, to visit his mom :)) and you were just asking things about her— and if she would like some flowers
todoroki’s heart flutters, watching you talk about your concerns regarding his mother, and when he’s giving his reply to you, walking along the sidewalk as he spoke.
but then he noticed that he wasn’t holding your hand anymore, AND THAT YOU DISAPPEARED!!
he’s panicking, looking around— did you get kidnapped behind his back?? omg he’s in the process of beating himself up
and he just sees you standing steps away
so he just hurries back to you— panting as he takes you by your hand, and you’re just laughing at his reaction
“you scared me, love. i thought you got kidnapped.”
it’s such a stretch but he’s just so concerned
you chortle, and you just squeeze his hand “no shou, i was just messing with you. i’m sorry,”
he lets you off the hook, he’s just really glad that you’re not actually in danger.
looks behind his shoulder just to see if you’re still there from now on. he knows it’s a prank but he will NOT lose you
MIDORIYA IZUKU
NOTICES AFTER A LONG ASS TIME
he’s just rambling about something interesting that happened that day while you guys were heading to a café. he’s doing the daily midoriya word dump.
and you were just listening to his rambling, just like any other day
and you suddenly get this cruel idea to just suddenly stop walking?? to see if he notices, of course.
he’s already a few feet away from the café, and he notices that you haven’t spoken in a long time
so he turns around
and you’re gone!!
immediately panics, and retracts his steps. it takes awhile because man was rambling too much but he finally finds you!
his heart is thumping wildly against his chest, and he holds you against him “Y/N! you worried me back there, why did you stop?”
and you’re just losing it over his reaction (because he took so long to realize you’re gone LMAO)
and he’s just 😀❓❓ what
“sorry izuku, i was just trying to see if you’ll notice i’m gone.”
izuku laughs in relief, and holds you close to him like you’re his teddy bear
he’ll try to check on you more often. but don’t do this again! it’ll give him a heart attack i mean it, don’t do that again.
BAKUGOU KATSUKI
he’ll notice right away
he was currently bringing you to his parents house on a weekend (because his mom wouldn’t stop NAGGING him about it)
and you just suddenly got this big idea to just stop walking. just to see if katsuki would notice that you stopped walking
when you stop walking in place, he’ll notice seconds later— and he’ll just walk back to you like 🚶‍♂️
and katsuki will just stare at you like 🤨 why did you stop walking?? did you forget something??
you’re just like “i wanted to see if you’ll notice if i’m gone,” all sheepishly bc the prank didn’t work
and he’ll just scoff, slinging his arms around you as he kisses your temple “of course i’d notice. you’re dumb.”
okay but there’ll be that one time he doesn’t notice you’re not with him, and he’ll just freak the fuck out lol
KIRISHIMA EIJIROU
he’ll notice that you’re gone after a good minute
you guys will be walking to the amusement park, and kiri’s just so excited!
“i can’t wait, today’s going to be so good! i’ll make sure to take a lot of good pictures of you— wait.”
you’re not with him??
he’ll just swing his head around for you like a confused puppy, like “where did Y/N go??”
and he’ll notice you’re just standing there, and kiri will just BOLT towards you
“waah i’m sorry! did i leave you behind?” he asks concerned, linking your arms with his as you guys continue to walk
you laugh, patting his face with your hand “i’m sorry eijirou, i was just trying to see if you’ll notice.”
man is beating himself up at this point for not noticing
“i’ll make sure to notice from now on,” kirishima promises, and for the rest of the day— he’s just glancing back and forth to check if you’re still there.
SHINSOU HITOSHI
silent panic
acts like he’s fine when he realizes you’re gone, but on the inside.. it’s chaos
you were walking with him to class, briefly after you helped him practice with his capture rope
and he’s just talking about his capture rope and how it almost got damaged because he washed it the wrong way once.
then he notices that he hasn’t heard your footsteps in a while, nor has he heard you reply to him
and he looks behind him, and you’re gone??
and on the outside, he’s pretty chill, like “oh. they’re gone.” and hitoshi’s calm enough to assess the situation properly
but on the inside he’s like “HITOSHI!! YOU LOST YOUR S/O WTF.”
and when he sees you cackling from a far, he’s just :/ but he’s just so glad you’re not actually missing.
“well played, kitten.” he chuckles in amusement, “but don’t do that again.” he says sternly— enlacing your hands with his
KAMINARI DENKI
he notices a little too late lol
you were walking with denki, mina and kirishima to get lunch one day
and you just suddenly thought of this weird idea to prank him (courtesy to mina)
and you just see if he’ll notice you’re not with him. for no particular reason though
denki, mina and kirishima were lined up to get food, and denki was just like “hm.. i wonder what Y/N wants to eat today!”
and kirishima looks behind to ask you what you want to eat (for kaminari) and he notices that you’re literally not there
like.. gone. absent
kirishima’s now violently tapping on mina’s shoulder like “uh.. L/N’s gone. they’re missing.”
and mina’s like “OH NO.” which kinda caused some panic between the both of them. eventually, denki notices the tense expression that’s on both of their faces.
“what’s wrong??” he asks, absolutely clueless.
“L/N’s not here!”
“oh.”
realization hits him pretty hard
and denki immediately bolts out of the line, running around to find wherever you are.
fastforward to a few minutes later, he found you in an empty hallway, and he just starts apologizing.
“i’m sorry Y/N!” he whines, hugging you close to him, and you’re just like 🧍‍♀️
you can’t really be mad, bc you did this to yourself lol.

The coffee that sinks inside your stomach brings out a grimace and a click of your tongue where the taste stains; too bitter, too acidic but you’ll drink it anyway and to the last drop; there is something about the idea of spending time with three best friends that is so made of spring and honey that you wish to miss none of it.
“Someone is lurking,” George contemplates out loud, and the call goes silent for a second as if to look for the intruder. And it would so easy to flinch, to hit the back pedal, because you almost feel like one being exposed front stage like that. But today- today is not that day.
It's not that you don't want to join the discussion, it's that it takes a second to warm up, to absorb the energy and become one with it.
And sometimes, all it takes is Sapnap to exclaim, “Panini head, my beloved!” for your smile synchronizes with his chuckles. Somehow, once noticed by the right person, life flows back naturally.
George and Dream greets you in trailing unison, like two kids forced to greet their unwelcomed aunt on a sunday afternoon.
“H-hey troublemakers,” you finally say. Your voice is still quiet, not reluctant, but rather uncertain. It doesn't bother anyone.
“I’m beating Dream’s ass at chess and he’s bitter,” Sap explains, and you silently nod, as if they were able to see you.
A long silence follows along, rythmed by clicks of mouses and keyboards and it falls in your ears like high droplets. It's comfortable. It's intimate, shared with friends only.
"We haven't heard from you in a while," Dream says. "I mean ... before the clout fiasco."
You wouldn't exactly call it a fiasco, even though you don't really like the idea of being perceived a little too closely from the eyes of twitter.com, but you do agree anyway, "I've been caught up on college essays lately."
"That sucks," George probably adds.
“Good thing you’re here, then,” Dream notes, simple as a breath. “This is a worry-free zone.”
It hovers for a second, carried by George’s approval hum.
You squint suspiciously, detective mode, at the profile pictures that light on and off before your eyes, “Thanks, dream.”
He scoffs a “sure” and you’re not sure why you sense a bit of irony stuck on the back of his teeth. You're so tempted to call him out, but you don't. Instead, you write a mental note of this odd moment.
“It’s because I told him about your three brothers and now he’s scared they’re gonna find him and kick his ass,” Sap explains as if he just read your mind.
Sometimes, there’s this thing in the air, though you’re miles away. Something like a connection. There’s this thing when you don’t need to talk for Sap to understand. Sharing one brain cell, you dismiss ironically. Probably coincidences and predictability, but it always sounds a little special, a little like something you’d wish to be out of this world, like morning dew and fairy circles. And it makes you feel safe, at home, just like snuggling up in the sheets during a stormy night. Your smile washes up the sleeve of your hoodie, covered palm carefully hiding your chuckles.
“Three older brothers,” George muses, and there’s no telling if it’s something meant for you to hear. “That’s kinda scary.”
“You better be scared, one of them is probably your FBI agent,” you tease mindlessly, though there's nothing scary about those three grown men.
“I’m British, Bunny,” he points out. Whether the exasperation in his tone is fake or genuine, that, you can’t tell, but you play it cool, grin carved so deep it almost hurts. Dream’s wheezes rise and fall in the background.
“Say that to his face then,” you outbid smirkingly after a second of silence, heels growing into the carpet to make your chair spin slowly left and right, so breezily.
“I’d praise you for the rest of my life if you-Oooooooh your ass is wacked. Your ass is so wacked, dude. You fucked up so bad,” Sapnap chokes out between strings of giggles.
“Oh no, my streamer is losing his game?” You theatrically pout. “My streamer Dreamwastaken, have you met him? Guess you don’t need any of my brothers to kick your ass.”
“Okay yeah- no- it’s not my fault if your- they’re distracting me, okay?” Dream defends.
Slowly, the energy lowers again and the call remembers peace as Dream admits defeat.
“I’m not playing against you anymore,” he mumbles through greeted teeth, your hoodie shelters a muffled giggle. “Let’s talk about y/n’s twitter fame instead.”
“Let’s just not-” you mutter, both because seeing Dream lose at something is a miracle that has to be witnessed once and because you’re somewhat reluctant. “Let’s just not talk about that.”
“Yeah, sorry about that. I had no idea it would draw this much attention to you,” Sap admits.
“Well, you talk about her all the time it was only a matter of time before twitter finds out,” George taunts and you secretly smile, listening to the way your best friend tries to defend himself, mind flooded with the last memories you have of when you were able to see those chuckles for real.
“Yeah, Quackity already told me you guys talk behind my back,” you fakely muse. “That’s totally fine, I don’t wanna know what you guys are talking about at all.” It’s a lie, obviously, the idea creeps upon your mind with assumptions you can’t quite get a grip of nor let go.
“You and Quackity talk?’ Sapnap asks, hint of surprise, and you hum.
“Or rather, he talks to me. He keeps calling-.” Shit. The forsaken word traps itself into your mouth. It’s too silly anyway.
“Come on, just say it,” Dream pushes as if he knew too much, more than you even do, and your cheeks flush mindlessly. You don’t notice.
“Dream, quit it!” You demand.
“Quit what?”
“You talk as if you knew more than anyone did.”
“Maybe I just do,” he coos, so dream-like.
Oblivious or careless, Sapnap asks, “Is Quackity bothering you or something?”
“He-" you begin but stop to look for the right way to put it, "He triggers my flight or fight response.”
"I mean, duh," Sapnap probably rolls his eyes.
"But I like him. He's funny."
After a second of silence, George says, “Well that was unexpected.”
“Not so much, I think we’re both chaotic neutral people.”
“What is that neutral chaotic thing anyway?” Dream is confused.
Roll up your sleeve girl boss because now is your time to shine! You offer your best dream smp alignment chart to the classroom. They're speechless, but they listen carefully.
"Then you're more chaotic good than neutral. You're too sweet anyway," Sap says.
"I'd even say lawful good," George debates.
"That's because you haven't seen Bunny during her crazy cat hour."
"True," you note.
"She'll go absolutely batshit."
“What?" George burst between confusion and surprise. "We've never seen you like that."
"A lady never reveal her secrets," you retort. No one answer.
It leaves a second for your mind to enjoy peace. For your eyes to lay on c!tubbo on lawful good and think true, then on c!dream on chaotic evil and think also very true. You huff and it's like a wave; as sarcasm leaves your breath, an idea comes in.
"Sap, check your DMs," you request.
Surrounded by the evening lull, Sapnap’s laugh pops like soap bubbles, "God, you’re so stupid. Why can't you just marry me?"
“So, is it Sapnap approved?” You chuckle lightly to prevent Sapnap’s morning fresh laugh to fill your chest and leak everywhere.
“Just press ‘send tweet’ please,” he confirms with leftovers of a smile in his voice.
"George, get me out of here. They're doing it again," Dream whines.
"Doing what?" He asks, unbothered.
"Act like they're alone in the convo. Just get a room." And you don't get to stand up for yourself that you and your best friend are actually sent to another room.
"Well this one is chaotic evil confirmed," you mumble as you roll your eyes but the vibes are much peaceful, much more comfortable in here. "So ... hi."
"Hi," he chuckles in return.
Maybe that's for the best; a moment that needs to stay a little timeless, secretive and special. It hasn't happened in so long, you don't even remember the last time it did.
"I'm glad you're here. I miss you, you know?" He says, and it's hard to not feel so bittersweet about it. It's hard when longing involves a craved touch, a real smile and an eye contact. Your shoulder sinks in the chair a little harder.
"I miss you too. I'll be here soon," you promise. And soon couldn't come any sooner.
But the conversation, soft and free, will wash up any worries, as always, and you'll end up talking about everything and nothing, about streams and planned videos and college and god knows what. As long as it makes the two of you happy and smiling. Just like the old days, you'll both think and it's fair to say until the evening turns into night and night turns into fatigue.
"Are you sure you're okay about that clout?" He asks once again. "I know you don't like being exposed like that."
"Yeah, yeah don't worry too much about it. I'll try to make good use of it."
"I'm sure you will," he murmurs, but oh boy did he not know what was about to come until you two meet.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the long wait! Art block (Or writing block?) is the worst and I’ve been busy. I’m also trying to make this a gender neutral story and I’m not too experienced on this so hopefully I’m doing ok so far! Now with that out of the way, on to chapter 2!
“Falling (in love) So Fast That I Can’t Even Think!”
Chapter 2
You take a second to realize that he was holding you a bit tight around the waist, and the silence of the tension began to build every second that neither of you moved.
“Hi?” You ask him. You mentally smacked yourself in the head for that comment. At this point of view, you can see that the, now real and very handsome doctor, eyes were a shade of blue that could take your breath away and-
“Oh, um,” Eggman studdered out a bit softer and less confident the what you have seen him in the show. “Hi.” He finally decided to look around at his predicament and examined your room.
“Where am I?” Eggman finally pulled you back onto the bed, creaking slightly from the unexpected new weight. Your mind finally snaps back into reality as the warmth from his hands fades from your hips, already missing the connection he had. You need to relax, and not freak out the poor man sitting on your bed.
“You’re in my room.” You finally managed to push the words out of your lips. His face turns to confusion and worries at all of the merchandise of not just his universe, but the main Sonic series as well. His mind mostly likely wandered into a ‘crazy fan’ mode and tried to back up. You perk up and lean back slightly, making sure to not fall off the bed this time, but also give him some space to relax. Ivo’s movements began to quicken as he still backs up, almost falling off the other side of the bed. He catches himself and looks at you with a face of slight panic and worry.
“What’s all this? Who are you and what-” You cut him off with a hand slightly raised, signaling to calm down and to relax. “Breath, please. I won’t hurt you.” You promised him as you instruct him through a breathing exercise. After a small bit of confusion between the two of you, you lead the poor man into your living room, hesitantly on his part, and led him down on your couch. Just walking into your kitchen to grab two white ceramic mugs, you hear him clear his throat.
“So, what’s going on?” You can feel his gaze on you as the first mug is filled with hot liquid, the steam coming from the filling mug as your brain thinks of what you should do. You switch mugs, taking out his mug for yours. You take a breath.
You’re in my house, and not in your multiverse.” Finally giving him some type of answer as his, at this point, huge bear paw-like hands, envelope the mug and took a small sip. You went to grab your mug as he commented on the choice of beverage you had given him.
“Hot Cocoa?” The question you as you at on the opposite side of the couch, holding what you liked to think, that at this moment was your liquid courage. You take a small sip and taste the liquid pooling into your body. You almost blush as you remembered the ‘CowBot’ episode where Eggman offered Sonic and Tails hot coco and messed with them, waiting for his machine to arrive.
“I thought you might like it.” You confess as he stairs back into his cup, pondering on his whole situation. He takes a breath and looks at you.
“Can you explain to me how I may have gotten here?” All you could do is nod as you start the long trek into the explanation of who is and on all of your knowledge on how he may have gotten here.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
The next few hours were, as you expected, emotional. You had to start with who you were, where he was, and leading him into the conversation that may or may not have caused way too much emotion for the both of you.
“So the main series follows Sonic and his friends, but mostly Sonic, throughout his adventures fighting his version of the doctor. There in the form of games.” He takes a sec and has a look that tells you to keep going. You explain all the story of how the franchise came to be from the nineties till the game you were kinda worried about. Sonic Adventure 2. You tell him the basic plot points and slowly explain how the Main Univers Doc’s Grandfather died along with his grandchild, Maira. He winces when you explain this and see that he’s shaking whenever the two popped up. When you explained that Shadow was made by his Grandfather, his mood perked up and he getting giddy and you have to admit, his cute squeal of figuring out that somewhere he could be related to one of the most powerful people on his island. You smile and after his cute reaction, keeps the conversation going with more information about the franchise. By the time you had reached the current point of the history of the franchise, the man had a lot of questions.
“So let me get this straight,” Eggman’s posture was lax as he was leaned back into the couch, making himself more at home for the time being. “You’re telling me that the main version of me has released a water monster god, a prototype of Shadow, that is a giant lizard, a god within the earth that’s made of darkness, and tried to play with time and space like it was a toy?” He questioned as he took another sip of his now lukewarm cup of cocoa, stroking his mustache pensively, looking at you for a reasonable answer on why he would do so. “Well the BioLizard thing wasn’t truly his fault, but the rest were planed. And I’m saying ‘planned’ with quotes because I don’t think for a second that he thought a few of those through.” You chuckle at the main Doc’s decisions. While you did think his plans were really good, sometimes you think he may have never really thought things through before going to start his plans. Doc downs the rest of his drink as you realized that your cup is still half full. He sets it on the counter in front of the two of you and leans back into your couch. You smile at the thought that he’s finally warming up to you. In all reality, he could take you down with a swing of his fist and run anytime, but having him trust you this much to serve him a drink and have a nice conversation did bring up some fuzzy feelings you have been trying to push down withing the last few hours.
“So I’m still confused, how did I get here?” Doc asks as he cracks his spin a bit to relax better. You take another sip of your dink and set your cup down. You look him in the eye with a bit of confusion. “I’m not sure. I just watch the DVD and you were the one to start seeing me, after the ending of your battle with Sonic and Tails, that white light appeared and you grabbed me before I fell off my bed.” You look towards him and blush a bit, your face now warm from the memory of the save. “Thank you for catching me, I don’t think a concussion would have helped the situation now, would it?” You try and make the small joke appealing to make it less awkward. He blushes and nods, a small ‘no problem’ slips from his lips as you can see he’s trying to not make eye contact and his cheeks, just slightly visible under his mustache, a small bit of warmth wraps around his cheeks. Your brain gets hit with a moment of clarity and you jump up from the couch and take a second to grab your DVD player from your room, bringing it back to him to study. “I’m not sure if this would help you get back home,” You start, “ But it’s a start.” You also hand him the note that came with the box along with the Sonic figure. He takes the figure first and rolls it over a bit, looking at the detail.
“So this figure and the note came along in the box with the DVDs?” He asked as he set the figure down as he grabbed the note. You blush and remember that wasn’t the only thing in the box. You almost had forgotten the figure of the living breathing man in front of you. You ask him to give you a second and hurry back to your room. Searching the room, you almost give up on finding the figure, until you spot it halfway under the bed. You bend over and grab the figure and examine it. It’s still the same figure, but less detailed now. It actually looks like how one of the box set figures is. Cheaply made and having a missing paint splotch here and there. It still was a good-looking figure though, just not as best made. You start your very slow pace back to the living room, taking a small bit of time to think about something. The Sonic figure was still the same as it was before the doctor arrived, why did the doctor change-. You stop mid-way in your hallway to finally piece a big puzzle together. The figure of the doctor was some type of catalyst for his arrival. Like a gateway to get here. ‘And now that the figure is back to normal, does that mean that the Sonic one-’ You didn’t finish that thought as you hurry back to the living room, the doctor just putting the not back onto the counter. He looks up as grabs the DVD player and sets it onto his lap. He smiles as you enter the room.
“ Hey, you ok?” He asks you as you sit back down next to him, gently grab the Sonic figure, cradling it with some care.
“I’m ok,” You answer with some melancholy in your voice. “It’s just that I’ve been thinking of something that just came to me.” You look over to him, Doc staring back, patiently waiting for you to continue. You take a breath and look him in the eyes. “The box set also came with a figure of you as well.” You explain as you gave him the small toy, his face going into a slight pout over the quality as he looks it over.
“I’m much more handsome than this.” He sulks over the craftsmanship of his figure compared to the one in your hand. You pat him on the back with your free hand, feeling him tense for a sec and then relax. You giggle at the line, remembering it from the 30th-anniversary comic. Your mood lightening up a bit at his reaction. “It was actually just as well made before you appeared in my room.” You explained as you rub your thumber gingerly over Sonic’s quills. Your mood dampens a bit. “I’m really thinking that the figure was the way-”
And a giant flash of white engulfed both of your eyesight. You scream as you feel a sense of weightlessness as you clutch the figure closer to you. Opening your eyes after that flashbang of light, as see that you’re in. You blink and take a look around. You try and gain a scene of where you were as you feel like you were falling down. You see Eggman trying his best not to scream as he is also in the same predicament as you. You look at this ‘tube’ as you decided to call it and take a look a the warping walls. They move with colors that remind you of the goop In Super Mario Sunshine. The colors of yellow, magenta, and white mixing together and making the whole experience feel like a trippy dip around a pipe. The tube had some slight aura to it as it was some type of fuzzy feeling in the back of your spine, not good but not unpleasant either. You look down past your now slightly screaming partner in crime to see a large warp ring that looked something right of the Sonic movie, looking to land right over some type of woods. You realized from the rate your accelerating from and the height from the ring to the ground would lead to more than a few broken bones.
Holding your breath and snaping your eyes closed as you wait for the pain to hit, the now cool air of the new land you arrived on pools into your skin as you want to feel at least a bit of joy knowing that right at the end, you feel cool. You never did feel the ground but instead a pair of arms holding you and the sensation of rocketing back up. Opening your eyes, you see Doc holding you again, having been lifted from the ground by two sleek black jetpack type of wings protruding from the back of his jacket. He looks down at you with a smirk and chuckles a bit.
“We have got to stop doing this.” He’s sarcastic, and the potential way of flirting, way of teasing sends you a bit more than tomato red in the face as you wonder if it’s the altitude of the comment that making it hard to think right at the moment. You almost didn’t hear him as he starts to talk.
“It looks like we’re flying over Seaside Island Jungle.” He starts to explain. “I’m going to fly us back to my lair and we can figure out from there what’s going on.” You look over his shoulder for a brief second to see the portal closing and finally dusting away with a puff of gold sparks. Looking back and see a breathtaking view, seeing the full grand scale of the island from up in the clouds. You can even start making out at sever locations from both seasons. You only think of what’s going to happen next when you see golden sparks emulate from your closed hands and feel a heavyweight in your arms and Doc quickly getting down to the ground, getting to be just at the end of ‘Nameless village’ as your reflexes grab on tightly to what you were holding onto. You both look down and see a very unconscious Sonic the Hedgehog in our arms. You look him over and inspect the teenager and see that he’s breathing, and in an ok shape. You look back at Doc and even he’s surprised by this addition to the group.
“Is he ok?”You question him as he gives Sonic a once over. You getting used to finally landing on the ground, stretching your legs after that small adventure.
‘He’ll be fine after some rest, but he looks exhausted.” Eggman questions as you scoop Sonic back up into your arms, being careful of his quills, making sure you don’t end up looking like a human banana peel. You look over at Doc and he looks like he’s, and you have to look a bit more closely at his expression because he looks, jealous? You ponder on that thought that the man might be jealous of the unconscious blue blur as the both of you set off into town, wondering where to go from here.
“Hey!” You hear a cry from in front of the, three? of you. You look up and see four multi-colored anthropomorphic animals. “What did the two of you do to Sonic?” Cried the two-tailed Kitsune. You see all three, with the exception of Amy, who at this point is trying to stop the trio, of Sonic’s friends close in around you. You give a panicked look to Doc as it dawned on you that Doc and yourself were about to be attacked by Tails, Knuckles, and Sticks.
Shit.

Hi if I may I wanna request LS hcs, like what's their reaction to reader getting injured in a mission and calling the bois to drive to pick them up? Like, through the call they could just tell sth bad happened to reader. (And can u make it gn? Thx very much I love ur writings!!)
AH THE GOOD OL HURT/COMFORT
thank u sm!!! 🥺 and i make everything gender neutral by default so no worries there my love (i want these boys to care for my they/themmie ass)
la squadra helping their injured partner home 🤕
risotto ✂️
the moment risotto heard something off in your voice, a quaver or unsteady breath, his heart stopped. he'll ask if you're injured, and when you say yes, he's already up and on his way
he keeps calm, and first of all he's making sure it's not bad enough that you need a hospital. if you reassure him honestly that it's not that severe, he tells you to stay put and wait for him and he doesn't waste a second. he may insist you stay on the phone with one of the others while he drives.
and he's driving as fast as he can without being reckless. you're so important to him, and even if he's reassured that you're not dying, the thought of you hurt and alone--his heart can't take it. all that mattered was getting to you and making sure you're safe, so he didn't ask yet how the injury happened--but if someone hurt you and they're still alive, they won't be for much longer. and he won't make it quick, he thinks with his jaw clenched and a hard grip on the steering wheel.
but he's all gentleness with you when he gets there. he's relieved beyond belief that you are, in fact, alive, but his heart is in his throat seeing you injured. if you'll let him, he'll pick you up and place you in the passenger seat. he looks you over and does quick fixes to last you until you get home.
he's still tense in the car. he'll ask how it happened; if it was an accident or the target you already dealt with, he'll be reassured. if it was someone else who's still kickin, he's already making plans. but still, his focus is you. at every red light, he's taking a hand off the wheel to rest on your shoulder, your knee, to hold your hand, just to soothe him that you're there. eventually, you just keep one hand on his knee. he can't express how grateful he is for your grounding presence.
you've done well. just... be more careful, amore.
he can breathe again once you're both safe at home and you can be properly patched up. he'll stay with you until you fall asleep, then stay a little longer.
prosciutto 🚬
something is wrong. it's not a question. explain that you're injured, and he's on his way. you're not hospital injured, but he doesn't waste his time. he'll want to know immediately what happened and will scold you for being reckless, but he's just shaken. he's determined to stay calm for you though and keep you calm.
he will definitely get one of the others to stay on the phone with you while he drives (and he's going as fast as he can). he's not taking any chances. if you got hurt again after calling him, when he's supposed to look out for you, he'd never forgive himself.
he's also turning the whole mission over in his head (from what you've told him) while he's goin, and tapping his finger on the steering wheel, because yes injuries happen, but.... he can't bear the thought of you getting hurt. you've told him the extent of it, but he's conjuring up a whole other round of scolding when he sees it in person.
but then he does see you, and all that goes out the window, because his nurturing instincts kick in and all he can think of is taking care of you. he's speaking softly and hushes you soothingly if you make a pained noise. he doesn't want to linger, so he gathers you quickly to the car and takes off again
he's instructing you on breathing through the pain in a calm tone. helping you focus keeps him focused, too. when you get home, he's all gentle touches as you're being treated, and he does the forehead touch to ground himself in your presence.
pesci 🎣
is everything okay? he's all worried, cause you don't sound okay. you say you're injured, and his throat gets tight. he promises you he'll be right there, lay low and keep yourself safe he's getting there as fast as he can!!!
and he rushes. he's kinda freaking out. he's more than kinda freaking out actually because you're all alone and you're hurt and the thought of it makes his eyes prick, but he steadies himself because he can't drive if he's crying and he's gotta get to you. you're his partner, you called him, you put your faith in him and he will not let you down
the moment he sees you he's spilling apologies that he didn't come with you for the mission because maybe he could've prevented this. you tell him not to blame himself. he swallows and nods and VERY gently helps you into the car, he's terrified of getting you more hurt. his hands are shaky while he gets you stable and comfortable but he doesn't half ass it in the slightest.
he glances over at you when he can but he drives Very carefully on the way home, he wants to keep you safe. he'll ask you to tell him about the mission, or offers to just listen if you want to talk about something else, get your mind off it.
he fusses and frets over you when you get home but he's relieved that you're safe. if someone hurt you and you didn't get to them first--yeah, they're dead meat. no more mr. nice fishy.
formaggio 🧀
he'll be like, babe u good??? tell him you're injured and he says not to worry, he'll be right there, hang tight okay? he's gonna get you home safe, he loves u.
he keeps a rather level head because he's just focused entirely on you, on making sure you're gonna be okay cause what kind of boyfriend would he be otherwise?? he can't help but feel like, even when you're down and out, you're his guiding star.
when he reaches you he's showering you in reassuring affection, he's looking you over and doting on you with all his fond pet names, kissing your cheeks. he holds you close as he helps you to the car and insists you take it easy, let him do all the legwork here okay? you're not hospital injured so he's a bit more relaxed, helps you relax, he'll get you home and you'll be all patched up, don't worry about a thing.
he drives carefully, but he keeps one hand on your knee or holds your hand. he'll ask you to tell him about the mission and praise you for your work, and injuries happen so if you're worried about it don't be, you did amazing. he'll generally just fill the space and try to cheer you up, make you laugh. if he does get you laughing, he's smiling and giving you a little squeeze. he loves your laugh.
he makes a big show of ayyy i'll take care of you when you're home, absolutely dotes on you and if he's not cuddling you he's fetching you whatever you need.
illuso ✨
his throat dries up and he goes entirely tense when he hears something off in your voice. what's wrong. he'll say it in a way that's both hushed and sharp, more an insistence than a question, he's not mad he's just extremely fucking apprehensive. tell him you're injured, and he'll feel more rigid than a statue for a moment. he'll ask how bad, you say not hospital bad but you need help getting home, and then he's moving fast and direct and telling you he's on his way right now, do not move.
oh honey he is speeding. he's speeding and taking any detours he knows (and he knows everything he's the info guy) and probably flipping off whoever honks at him without even a glance. his eyes are straight ahead and glaring at the road because you're hurt and he wasn't fucking there so on god he's gonna be so fucking there now.
something in his chest twists seeing you hurt. he's insistent but gentle in checking you over, not wanting to overlook a scrape, and is extremely careful helping you to the car. he doesn't speed home, but the only thing on his mind is getting you there so your wounds can be treated. he's still very stiff and he doesn't say much, but he will quietly ask what happened. hearing about how you got hurt makes his jaw twitch, especially if someone hurt you.
expect him to hover. he only really relaxes when ur all patched up, and he'll sigh and play with your hair, and once it's just the two of you he'll gently kiss your forehead.
if you were hurt by someone and they're still alive, he will find them and make sure they are very much not alive with his own hands, probably by the end of the night if he has any say in it
melone 🍈
he's very calm. tell him you're injured and he's in medic mode, gently telling you to give him the rundown. he's already making quick assessments about it, decides based on your injuries/your preference whether he takes a car or his motorbike (the bike is faster but the car is more stable). he'll ask one of the others to stay on the phone with you and keep you calm while he gets there.
stay put, amore. don't strain yourself, and don't worry. i'm on my way right now.
he keeps his level head but he's still going as fast as he can. if he opted for the bike, he's taking detours through alleys to get to you quicker. he doesn't give himself room to worry, he knows how to stabilize himself so he can take care of you.
when he gets to you, he's methodical and efficient but sweet, speaking softly and praising and encouraging. he gets the most immediate stuff out of the way so he can get you home, and once you're settled in the car/on the bike, he kisses your cheek before taking off.
if you're on the bike, he has you in front with your back to his chest, and feeling comforted by holding you close. either way, he drives carefully and still keeps his calm, gentle tone. once you're all patched up at home, he gives you a long, loving kiss.
ghiaccio ❄️
he'll say you sound off, and there's a spike of worry. say you're injured and he's bolting up and going WHAT!!!!! stay there and DONT FUCK URSELF UP MORE he's on his way rn
ghiaccio already drives like a maniac (which is ironic considering how protective he is of his car) but YOU'RE hurt and alone? nuh uh. not on his watch. he's running red lights, leaning over the steering wheel with his eyes on the prize, and grinding his teeth. he's kicking himself for not coming with you on the mission.
when his car screeches to a halt he's just vaulting over the open convertible to u and demanding let me see let me see what happened etc. he's not harsh at all tho especially in how he checks you over and fusses, he gets ur ass in the car and takes u directly home. he wants to be fast but he also doesn't want to jostle u so he drives like, marginally carefully, by his standards
if someone injured you and they're still alive, he shouts he'll get the bitch himself. he'll also say in his ranting that he should have been there with you. you tell him honestly that it's not his fault; he just grumbles.
he hovers and snaps at the others if they're not extremely gentle with you as you get patched up. once it's just the two of you, he clings (carefully). be more careful, dumbass, he mutters, and kisses your cheek.
sorbet and gelato 🔪🍦
reach sorbet first, and his eyes will narrow at your strained voice, as if he could just glare at whatever was bothering you to make it go away. he's already up and his hands are twitching when he asks what's wrong, and at that point gelato pesters him to go on speaker. reach gelato first, he'll just ask right away if you're hurt, and when you say yes, he puts you on speaker without sorbet having to do anything.
they're already on their way, and one keeps you on the line while the other drives. and no matter who it is, they're driving like a fucking crazy person, running every red light and tires squealing. gelato does most of the talking, like always. he's asking you about the injuries, trying to keep your spirits up, and praising you for a job well done on the mission. he'll ask how the injury happened, and his tone is still light, but you know your boyfriends have murder on their minds if someone hurt you. and if someone did, and you didn't get to them first, gelato will go, hmm. we'll fix that. sorbet agrees with mmhm.
once they're there (and they're there very fast), they're both looking you over and doing quick fixes with gentle hands. gelato will coo at you for how brave and tough you are, and sorbet may just pull you into his lap and nuzzle your cheeks together. he will probably carry you to the car even if you can walk fine.
whoever isn't driving will gently cuddle you and cover ur face in kisses in the backseat, and they're driving more carefully now so as not to throw you around. gelato will chatter about whatever to help you feel alright, and sorbet will get his quips in. getting you to laugh is a victory.
one of them is literally always touching you. if someone else is tending to your wounds and they try to fuss about one or the other being in the way, they'll tell em to deal with it as long as it isn't bothering you. get ready to be squished (carefully) between two cuddly boyfriends until you're better; they love you so much and just want to care for you, it hurts their hearts that you got hurt without them there, so they're not letting you go now.
if someone hurt you and they're still kickin, they'll ask if you want to be there to do em in, or if they can go ahead. if you want to be there, they'll pace about having to wait because the thought of someone who dared to hurt you still breathing makes their hands itch, but they Will wait until you've healed up some. you take the reins on the hit in that case, and they'll be happy to follow your lead. if you say they can go ahead, they both grin. they're gonna leave that fucker as a smear when they're done.

High school, a bittersweet place indeed.
It has seen some of the worst times of your life—detentions, friendship drama, heartbreaks, the nonstop studying and grinding for college entrance exams; perhaps not things you’ll look back upon fondly, but things that were a part of this chapter of your life regardless.
But without high school, you would not have met your tightly-knit group of friends, your anchor in choppy waves, that brought you so much comfort and happiness these past years however tumultuous they may have been.
It’s all in the little things; like Beomgyu teaching you how to skateboard, study dates with Yeonjun and Kai that involved more goofing off than actual studying, checking out dozens of books at the library with Taehyun and spending hours reading them in comfortable silence, napping in History with Soobin when the two of you sat at the far back…
You wouldn’t trade all these memories for the world.
This brings you to today—graduation. You thought you couldn’t wait any longer for this day to arrive, at least, you certainly thought so during your most miserable moments, longing to leave high school forever and never looking back.
But seeing the teary eyes of your teachers and your fellow classmates in their graduation gowns and caps made you realise that this really is it; that despite the downs, this place really isn’t all that bad.
“I’m gonna miss seeing you around,” Kai tells you a little sadly as everyone moves outside after the ceremony for photos.
“You’re acting like I’m moving across the country when my college’s just half an hour away from here,” you joke while ruffling his hair, “we’ll see each other on weekends! Plus, it’s just two more years!”
“Two more years,” he grumbles, “I wish I was graduating with you guys today.”
“Trust me, you won’t be thinking that by the time you graduate.”
Beomgyu snorts. “Don’t think we didn’t notice how you almost cried when you went up to get your diploma. I have the photos to back it up.”
Of course he does. Probably zoomed all the way into your face so he can make a meme out of it too.
“Shouldn’t you be a little nicer to me on my special day?” Your tone is light and playful because you know your friends love you, even if they deny it vehemently or show it in… interesting ways.
“Wait, where’s Soobin?” Yeonjun asks, his head whipping around in search of your friend. “I swear I just saw him! Does he not want to take photos with us?”
“How do we lose a six-foot man?” you wonder aloud, scanning through the crowd of students, teachers and parents but to no avail. Soobin’s nowhere to be found on his own graduation day, even though you literally saw him just minutes ago when you all were in the auditorium for the ceremony.
Taehyun turns back to your group of five with a shrug after a little looking. “He’ll show up sooner or later,” he reasons, “probably just went to the washroom or somethi—”
“—woah, check it out,” Kai interrupts, eyes focused on something behind you, “did the school splurge on hiring a mascot or something? I didn’t know they did that.”
The remaining four of you follow his gaze, spotting someone dressed in a full bear costume approaching your group as the other students and parents let out gasps and hushed murmurs. Whoever’s dressed in the costume is also holding a bouquet of sunflowers as they waddle across the playground towards… you?
As though he’s read your mind, Yeonjun turns back to your group confusedly. “Is it just me… or does it look like it’s heading towards us?”
“Is this some Five Nights at Freddy’s kinda thing? Should we run?”
You smack at Beomgyu’s arm lightly. “No! That’s just plain mean, especially if the school hired them to surprise us.”
The bear comes to a stop in front of you as it holds out the flowers, and you can only stare at it in shock while your friends watch from the side, equally as confused and perhaps a little (read: very) amused as well. The bear’s head tilts to the side when you don’t react, as though hinting for you to take the flowers.
“O-oh, are these for me?”
You try your best to ignore Beomgyu and Kai’s stifled giggles when it nods, and awkwardly accept the bouquet with a mumbled ‘thank you’.
“Um… can I also ask why the school is giving me this?”
Despite the huge costume, you manage to hear a faint sigh coming from whoever’s inside. Two furry paws reach up to pull off the bear head, and your jaw drops when it reveals none other than Choi Soobin, still wearing his graduation gown and all that.
“Soobin?” you screech. “Huh? What—why—what are you doing in there?”
He smiles sheepishly, fixing his messy and slightly sweaty hair. “Surprise?”
“Yo, where’d you get this?” Yeonjun asks as he pets the white fur on his costume, “and where is my bouquet? Why does Y/N get one and I don’t?”
“How much did it cost to rent this thing?”
“Why didn’t you choose another animal?”
“Dude, how are you not sweating buckets in this?”
“Can we not do this now?” Soobin groans, cheeks flushed a rosy pink. Whether it’s from the stuffiness of the costume or shyness, you can’t tell, but it’s safe to say that it’s probably both from the way his get-up garners curious looks from everyone who walks by, some even doing double-takes at the peculiar scene in front of them.
You don’t blame them, it’s not every day when you see a blue-haired boy dressed in a full bear costume.
He turns back to you, the blush on his face spreading up to his ears as he explains, “I thought this might cheer you up… it can be sad saying goodbye to everyone at this place, so I planned this to hopefully make this day unforgettable for you in a good way…”
Soobin’s voice trails off hesitantly when he notices the unshed tears gathering in your eyes. “Please don’t cry,” he pleads softly, not knowing if he should hug you while in the costume in fear it’d only make you cry more. It’s then when he also realises that you’re alone, your four friends having conveniently disappeared sometime during his explanation. “I didn’t mean for this to make you even sadder, I’m sorry…”
“You idiot! These are happy tears!” you wail, ducking your head to hide the droplets running down your cheeks from him as you desperately search your pockets for tissues, only to give up and wipe them away with the sleeves of your gown instead. “This is—sniff—one of the nicest—sniff—things anyone’s done for me. I’m gonna—sniff—miss you so much!”
“We got accepted into the same college, silly,” Soobin says with a fond smile, watching as you take multiple deep breaths to calm yourself. “Um… that means you like this surprise… right?”
“Of course I do!” you reassure enthusiastically while still dabbing away at the remaining moisture on your cheeks. “It’s… bear-y cute.” You pause to giggle at your own joke even though you’re still very much overwhelmed with emotions. “D’you get it? Because you’re dressed as a bear! Get it?”
“Yeah, I get it. What a gem of comedy you’ve got there.”
“Aw, looks like you’ll have to keep… bearing with me.”
Soobin groans. “Your puns are awful, but—”
“—but you still like me bear-y much?” you tease.
“Yes, Y/N. I still like you bear-y much.”
