Spectrum's Doll (VSAU Story)

Based off/Inspiration from the amazing @rhapsoddity and their Vigilante Sheriff AU as well as their Head Empty Sheriff AU! Their art and story is just *chef's kiss* Definitely check them and their stuff out, it's amazing and lovely and I just can't get over it.

Also, implied hermit/empireshipping in this story. Nothing too drastic, just characters mentioning how they were exes or how they like each other, but still, it's there.

Also, also, TRIGGER WARNING: Hypnosis/Mind Control. That's kinda the whole point of this story. Cool? Cool.

When Stratos asked Sheriff for help in finding Sausage, he didn't think he would have to make a trade, intentionally or not.

Sheriff tied the llama hybrid up, the man struggling the whole time.

"Are your informants really reliable? It just seems like no one is here." Stratos asked, "Well, besides Spectrum's minions."

"Yes, I'm sure my information is correct, my informants wouldn't give me false info or lie." Sheriff said. They may be pigeons, but they see everything. He thought. He put the llama hybrid against the wall, who continued to struggle.

"You won't get away with this." The man hissed.

"Hey, that's my line!" Sheriff teased, taking out a deputy's badge sticker and sticking it on his head, "Boop!"

Stratos rolled his eyes before he and Sheriff moved to the next room of the warehouse. It was dark, making the two already on edge. Suddenly, a single light flipped on, revealing Sausage.

"Sausage!" Stratos ran over.

"Wait, Stratos, be careful, I don't like this! It could be a trick!" Sheriff exclaimed, taking out another lasso.

"Oh, don't be uptight, it's Sausage, he wouldn't hurt-" Stratos stopped in his tracks as the brunette lifted his hand, a large vine nearly stabbing him but only brushing past his cheek, "-me..."

"What the-?!" Sheriff watched as Sausage began to fight Stratos, the hero dodging and yelling at the other to stop. He took out his grabbling hook, spinning it in his hand, "That's Sanctuary's power! How could Spectrum use it? Unless Sausage is- oh god, that would make sense, but then why-"

"Too many questions~" Someone whispered in his ear, hugging his arm and wrapping their arm around his shoulder, "Don't worry that pretty little head of yours~ Just sink deeper and listen to me~"

Sheriff blinked as the colors in the room began to blur. He groaned and pulled away from the person quickly. His vision was slightly clouded by a mix of colors, but he fought against it, seeing the colorful villain. He had teal hair with heterochromia eyes, one teal and one orange. He wore a simple black bodysuit with a chest window, black jeans, and a colorful jacket, his black mask covering his face.

"Woah man, take me to dinner first!" Sheriff laughed, trying to ground himself.

"Gladly!" The villain, Spectrum, smiled, "But I don't think this location is very fitting!"

The colors moved and Sheriff saw tables and chairs appear around them. He groaned, holding his head and focusing on Spectrum. If he did that, he could see the warehouse, he could hear Stratos's yelling and Sausage using his power. He needed to focus.

"I-I'm flattered, but one shouldn't mix work with play-!" He groaned.

Spectrum stepped forward, "Awwww, come on handsome, a little break wouldn't-" He gasped, stepping back to dodge one of Sheriff's punches, the dirty blonde dropping his lasso and grappling hook, "Oh, so you like it rough, huh?"

"Gotta keep you on your toes, don't I?" Sheriff chuckled, trying to punch him again.

Spectrum dodged. Sheriff couldn't tell if he was moving slower or if Spectrum was just that fast, but he kept trying to hit him. He focused on fighting Spectrum, the villain seeming to get more bored by the minute.

"You know, I'm surprised and impressed you managed to endure this for so long!" Spectrum cooed, stepping out of the way.

Sheriff panted, smirking, kind of proud of himself, "Yeah, well, I know villains like you prefer a show and I don't mind an audience!"

Spectrum again dodged, managing to get behind Sheriff, "That's cute, but we should really wrap this up." He kicked the dirty blonde in the back, Sheriff stumbling and falling to his knees, "I don't do this for everyone, but you're quite a special case!"

Spectrum moved in front of Sheriff, cupping his cheeks, "Now, do me a favor and scream."

Sheriff gasped as he was blinded by colors, a voice in his head telling him to give in, to let go, to relax, to let Spectrum in. He tried to resist it, he tried to think of things to ground himself. Norman, Flick, he two cats. Grian, his awesome brother when he's not being annoying. Sausage, Sausage still needs help! And Stratos needs him and-

"Stop thinking. You don't need to. Let me do all the work." Spectrum's voice rang in his head.

Tears formed in Sheriff's eyes as they fluttered. He tried to fight back, but the voices telling him to give in overtook him. He closed his eyes as tears ran down his cheeks.

Spectrum groaned, holding his head as he looked down at the dirty blonde, Damn, why did I have to use so much power on him?! He thought. He stared down at the other and smiled, cooing as he wiped the tears away. Sheriff's blue eyes were glowing purple, a blank look on his face.

"Nothing but a cute little doll." He giggled before looking at Sausage and Stratos.

Spectrum smirked, picking Sheriff up bridal style before slipping out of the room. He blinked and laughed, seeing the llama hybrid still struggling in the ropes.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up! Your arm candy is stronger than he looks!" The brunette hissed.

"Oh, I know, trust me, Owen." Scott walked over, using a knife to cut him loose, "Come on, I got what I want. The hypnosis on Sausage will wear off the farther I get away."

Owen looked at Sheriff in his arms, "Oh my god, you must've used a lot of power. There are no thoughts behind those eyes!"

"That's the point!" Spectrum chuckled, "He was really good at resisting, even tried to put up a fight. But when I finally got him to stop thinking, he finally was mine!"

The two continued chatting, slipping into the night, disappearing with Sheriff.

***

"Home sweet home, my doll!" Spectrum giggled as he placed the dirty blonde on his bed, Owen rolling his eyes.

"I'm stealing your bathroom for an hour." He grabbed his civilian clothes, walking to the door.

"That's fine! I'll be here!" Spectrum giggled as the brunette closed the door. He smiled, removing his mask and jacket, placing them on a chair.

"Yo, Scott, I heard Owen." His bedroom door open as his sibling came in, "How did- oh, you got him."

"Xornoth, this is Sheriff!" Scott exclaimed, making Sheriff turn to face his sibling, "Sheriff, say hi!"

Sheriff lifted his hand and waved a bit.

Xornoth rolled their eyes, "Whatever. Just keep an eye on him."

"I will! He's going to just be either arm candy or a doll!"

"Yeah, I get that, but you also let your toys wander, sometimes. Just keep him away from my stuff."

"I will, geeeeez!"

"You okay?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I-"

"Scott." Xornoth looked at him, raising an eyebrow, "Are you okay? Injured? Broken?"

Scott chuckled, "I'm fine, Xornoth. Head hurts a bit from using too much of my power, but I'm fine."

"Kay. Just making sure." Xornoth waved, "Alright, I'm going back to terrorizing 10 year olds."

"Have fun!" Scott called as they shut the door and left.

Scott then changed into some pajamas before facing Sheriff, who was still staring at where Xornoth once was. He chuckled, tilting his head to face him. He removed the dirty blonde's hat, vest, and scarf, placing them on a chair before opening his closet.

"What to put you in...?" He hummed, "Hmmm... I mean, I could leave you in boxers, what do you think?" He chuckled, laughing at his own joke.

"Mmmn-"

Scott turned and saw Sheriff's face was twisted.

"H-H-Huuuh-"

"Shhhhhhh~" Scott cooed, quickly closing the distance between them, holding the other's cheeks, "No thinking for you~ Just sit there looking pretty~"

Sheriff slipped easily, his face relaxing as he once again fell under Scott's control. Damn, even now, he's still trying to fight. I have to watch what I say and order of him if me asking what he thinks can bring him back. Scott turned back to the closet, deciding a clean white shirt was all Sheriff needed.

He unbuttoned the dirty blonde's shirt and widened his eyes. Winged... surgery scars...? He looked at Sheriff's back, eyes getting bigger, Small canary wings...?! Scott was in shock before he gently removed Sheriff's mask.

"Holy- Is that-?!" Scott cupped the dirty blonde's cheeks before smiling brightly, "Oh, my god! Jimmy Solidarity Gaming is Sheriff, aye?! That's so cool! No wonder I like you so much!" He then put the new white shirt on the dirty blonde, unbuttoning and removing his jeans, "We sure live in a small world, huh? That's crazy! I can't believe you became a vigilante! And a confident flirter too! I guess that's my doing, you're welcome everyone! I mean, I am sorry I have to take this handsome hunk off the streets, but he's miiiiiiine~!" Scott giggled.

Owen walked out, sighing, "Alright, I'm done.

"Thank you so much for your hard work, Own! You're dismissed, minion!" Scott teased, playfully clapping his hands together, "That will be all!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going!" Owen laughed, waving as he left, "See ya tomorrow!"

"See ya!" Scott chuckled.

He smiled, looking at Solidarity's face, still blank. He gently laid the other down laying beside him.

"Cuddle me."

The dirty blonde did.

Scott smiled, "So handsome, doll. And all mine. Go ahead and sleep."

Solidarity's eyes fluttered closed and Scott smiled. He turned off the lights and fell asleep himself.

***

Stratos paced, biting his bottom lip, occasionally biting his nail anxiously, his whole body stiff.

"Stratos, please calm down..." Sanctuary tried.

"I-I just can't, I'm sorry!" Stratos groaned, "I-I mean, Sheriff helped me find you and now Spectrum has him! He's been missing for three weeks and-"

"Excuse me!" The two turned as two heroes came towards them, the avian placing down the brunette, "Stratos, Sanctuary, pleasure to see ya!"

"Hey, Hotguy, Cuteguy." Stratos smiled.

Sanctuary waved a bit, "Thanks again for the help, Hotguy!"

"Of course. Actually, speaking of help, um... Cuteguy?"

The dirty blonde seemed hesitant, nervous even, anxious? "...Um, well... I was wondering, do you guys happen to know someone in your civilian forms? His name is Jimmy or he sometimes goes by Solidarity?"

"Yeah, we do! Why?"

"He's missing."

"WHAT?!" The two yelled.

"Wait, wait, wait, how do you know this?!"

"Well, Solidarity is m-"

"What he means to say-" Hotguy interrupted, "-is that Cuteguy and Solidarity are really close in civilian form!"

"Uh, yeah, right!" Cuteguy exclaimed, "Anyways, I went to check on him two weeks ago cause he wasn't answering me and we had plans, but he wasn't there. I tried calling, texting, calling his and my friends, no one knew. I looked everywhere and his cats..." He sighed, "His cats kept meowing and whining at me. I fed and gave them water and they acted like they hadn't been fed in days. Which is just not Solidarity! He would never just disappear on me! And he loves those cats more than anything, he would put them over everything else in an instant! There's no way he would just abandon them!"

Sanctuary nodded, standing up, "Listen, we'll help you find Solidarity, but can you guys help us find Sheriff?"

"Sheriff? The vigilante?" Hotguy asked, "Isn't he, like, your archenemy, Stratos?"

Stratos looked away, "I owe him. He awas the one who helped me find Sanctuary, but... Spectrum took him while I got Sanctuary back. He's been missing for three weeks."

Cuteguy flapped his wings, beginning to fly, "Okay, so Solidarity and Sheriff, right? I'll do a sweep of the city again, just to make sure neither of them are hiding in plain sight and we just overlooked them."

"I'll come with." Stratos flew to stand (float?) beside him.

"Hotguy and I will ask if anyone has seen them and for details. We'll meet up in a couple hours."

The four split up and began searching.

As the sun began to set and the moon rose, the sky darkened. Stars shined in the night sky as the four met up once more, sharing what little information they had. No one has seen either of the men, and no one had any idea where they could possible be.

"Uggggh!" Cuteguy groaned, "Dammit!"

"Woah, calm down Cute-"

"Don't tell me to calm down, Hotguy!" The dirty blonde hissed, "Ti- Jimmy is missing and no one has seen him, he just poofed out of existence and I can't do anything about it."

"Actually, I know where he is."

The four turned and immediately became on edge.

"Hephaestus!" Stratos glared, "What're you doing here?!"

"Not here to fight!" The redhead exclaimed, "Temporary truce?"

"Yeah right-"

"I know where Sheriff and possible Solidarity is being held."

The four widened their eyes and looked at each other, before back at the redhead.

"And why should we trust you?!" Sanctuary exclaimed.

"Spectrum kidnapped you as part of his big plan, knowing Stratos would come for you. And Sheriff being Sheriff helped Stratos saved you, but Spectrum now has him. Right?"

"How do you know all this-"

"Doesn't matter, he took Sheriff and he also has Solidarity, but I don't exactly know where he's keeping him since I've only seen Spectrum lugging Sheriff around."

"If you know this, why ask us to help you?" Hotguy questioned.

Hephaestus looked away, "Well... truth is, me and Sheriff have some... history. We know each other in our civilian forms but our relationship is... complicated." He looked at them again, "But that doesn't matter. Spectrum has him deep under hypnosis and I won't be able to bring him back alone. Even if I could, I doubt he'd listen to me. I need your help to bring him back. And I can help you find Solidarity."

Cuteguy bit his bottom lip. He summoned an axe and pointed it at the other, "If you're lying, I will actually kill you."

"Noted. Now, come on, this way."

Hephaestus led the way, the four heroes following him, albeit from a bit of a distance. They arrived at a warehouse, the five standing on the roof and looking through the roof windows. The lights showed Spectrum, his orange clad sidekick, and a dirty blonde sitting on a box.

"Who-"

Hephaestus broke the window with his giant robot hands and fell through, glaring, "Spectrum, give Sheriff back."

"Hephaestus..." Spectrum glared, "I should have know you would find me eventually, you've always been obsessed with Sheriff."

"I'M OBSESSED?!" The redhead growled, pointing at the other, his giant robot hand doing the same, "You made a whole plan to kidnap a hero, just in case Sheriff would show up as support, and then kidnapped him instead so you can have some fake boyfriend!"

"Oh, he's not fake, he's my real boytoy!" He then looked at Sheriff, smirking, "Right, dollface?"

Sheriff merely nodded, blank face.

"Son of a-"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Stratos yelled as the heroes stoof beside Hephaestus, "That's Sheriff?!"

The dirty blonde's hair was brushed back, a little diamond clip holding back his bangs. He wore a simple sleeveless black bodysuit with black arm bands, black jeans, purple boots, and a purple belt.

Hotguy drew his bow, Cuteguy summoning a weapin beside him, "You and your sidekick surrender now, Spectrum. It's five against two, you're outnumbered."

"You're right, we are outnumbered, but you're mistaken. It's five against three." Spectrum smirked, "Handsome, take care of Hephaestus and Stratos for me."

Sheriff stood and unlatched a black lasso from his belt, spinning it.

"Sheriff, listen to me, you don't-"

The dirty blonde interrupted Sanctuary by wrapping the lasso around Stratos and throwing him into Hephaestus.

"Sheriff, stop-!" Cuteguy called before he noticed the colors start to move. He groaned, closing his eyes as he flew up, "Hotguy, be careful!"

Hotguy seemed unaffected by the colors, smirking, letting his vex wings out, "Sorry, colorful man, doesn't affect me."

"That's fine, I got three of you distracted." Spectrum smirked, "Orange, take care of Sanctuary."

"You got it!" The llama hybrid snickered.

Spectrum took out a knife, Hotguy trying to shoot at him, trying to disorientate him. Spectrum easily dodged it and got close, trying to slash at the other. Cuteguy kicked Spectrum back, the colorful villain looking at the avian and trying to manipulate him. Cuteguy groaned and held his head, closing his eyes once more. It was a dance of Hotguy and Spectrum fighting with one another, Cuteguy trying to step in only to close his eyes to not get effected by the hypnosis. Orange and Sanctuary got in a heated fist fight, Orange also using a knife to cut the vines Sanctuary summoned.

Meanwhile, Sheriff was using his own weapons, trying to stop Stratos and Hephaestus, mainly trying to lasso one of them and then throwing them into the other. Hephaestus stayed back, knowing how dangerous his weapons could be and mainly acting as support as Stratos tried to grab Sheriff or dodged the dirty blonde's attacks. Stratos flew forward and pinned him down on the ground, the brunette staring into Sheriff's eyes.

"Sheriff, come on! Don't let Spectrum take over you! You're stronger than this! Come on, get out of your head!" Stratos yelled at him.

Sheriff blinked, the glow in his eyes flicking.

"Sheriff?!" Hephaestus called, kneeling beside Stratos, "Come on, Sheriff! You're an idiot, but you're not weak! Come on!"

Sheriff groaned, eyes twitching as the glowing dimmed more, "N-Nnnngh-!"

Spectrum looked over and growled. He kicked Hotguy in the stomach, the hero groaning. He then threw him towards Cuteguy, both yelping as Spectrum ran over to the other two. He manipulated the colors, Stratos and Hephaestus groaning. Spectrum pulled Sheriff away from the two, the dirty blonde groaning.

"Nnngh, w-wha-"

"Shhhhhh~" Spectrum cooed, "Shhhh, shhhh, no thinking for you, dollface~ Calm down, slip deep again~"

Sheriff panted as he tried to fight a bit, but he easily gave in, face blank once more as he once again turned numb.

"You-!" Hephaestus growled, his eyes narrowing.

"He wants to stay with me, Hephaestus. Right, Sheriff?" Spectrum stood up, holding Sheriff's hand and standing him up.

Sheriff nodded.

"See? He wants me, not you."

"That's it!" Hephaestus held one of his arms up, pressing a couple buttons, "Stratos, cover your ears."

"Huh-"

Hephaestus pressed a button and, suddenly, a loud alarm began to blare. Everyone but Hephaestus and Sheriff covered their ears. Sanctuary, however, lifted some vines up and threw Orange against the wall. Spectrum yelled, glaring at the hero. He glared and looked at Sheriff. He pulled the dirty blonde towards him whispering in his ear. Sheriff's eyes glowed a bright purple as he fell to his knees, Spectrum running towards the brunette.

Hotguy groaned and drew his bow, ready to pin Spectrum to the wall. However, before he could let go, Sheriff used his lasso to take his bow.

Hephaestus stopped the blaring, "Sheriff-"

Spectrum helped his friend up, smirking, "Good boy, Sheriff! I'll be back for you later! Do whatever you need to do, kill them if you need to."

Sheriff stood up, protecting Spectrum and Orange. He panted, eyes glowing a bright purple, twitching as he gripped his lasso tightly.

"Sorry Sheriff, not dealing with this!" Sanctuary wrapped a vine around his leg and threw him against a wall.

The man cried out in pain, eyes closing as he fell unconscious. Stratos flew over and picked the dirty blonde up.

"Great, we got Sheriff-" Cuteguy looked at Hephaestus, "-now where's T- Jimmy?"

Hephaestus went to say something but they heard police sirens. He cursed, "Fuck, I'll go after Spectrum and Orange and get him, but I gotta go!"

"WHAT?!" Cuteguy's wings flared up as the other climbed out the roof windows, "YOU'RE LEAVING?!"

"Listen, we may have a temporary truce, but police and villains don't mix. I'll get Solidarity, you help Sheriff!" He then left.

"YOU LITTLE-" Cuteguy went to fly after him.

"Cuteguy!" Hotguy grabbed him, "He's right! He helped us find Sheriff, but the police won't care. Besides, all four of us will get in trouble if it's found out we were working with a villain."

Cuteguy's wings slowed down as he landed, "....Right. I'll stay back, explain what happened to the police, you all help Sheriff."

"I'll help you." Sanctuary stood beside Cuteguy.

Stratos picked Hotguy up, "Alright, we're heading to headquarters. See ya both later."

Stratos flew to headquarters, the two going inside and heading to the medbay. They laid Sheriff down on the bed, a staff member healing his back. Hotguy knelt beside him, holding his head in his hands. His eyes began to glow a light blue, his vex wings extending as he tried to use his magic to break Sheriff out of it. He groaned, focusing as much as he could. Suddenly, he pulled back, groaning as he held his hands.

"Hotguy?"

"I-I can't break him out of it, it's not that easy. Every time I try, I just feel Spectrum's power trying to overtake mine."

Suddenly, Sheriff's eyes shot open. He screamed and went to punch Hotguy, Stratos catching him and pinning him down. Sheriff struggled, glaring, kicking and screaming.

"C-Calm down, calm down! F-Fuck, what is going on?!"

Hotguy widened his eyes, "Spectrum's last order was to kill us..."

Stratos widened his eyes, cursing, "Sorry Sheriff." He headbutted the other, Sheriff falling unconscious again.

Hotguy picked Sheriff up, "This is going to take a lot more focus, I need to go to another room."

"What?! But, Hotguy, what if-"

"I'll be fine, I just need peace and quiet and no distractions." Hotguy reassured, going into a different room he knew had no cameras.

He locked the door behind him before he laid Sheriff on the couch, kneeling beside him. He took a deep breath, taking off his glasses. He held the other's face, closing his eyes. Light blueish-grey marks appeared around his hands and eyes, his vex wings extending slightly. His eyes glowed a bright blue as he completely focused on the dirty blonde's mind. I should be able to reach in, weave some memories together and bring him back up. Hotguy thought.

He was inside Sheriff's mind, tugging and pulling memories of the vigilante messing with Stratos, the vigilante saving the day and catching the bad guys, the vigilante... talking to some pigeons? Oh, and there he was, helping Stratos find Sausage and then there he was, talking with Spectrum and fighting his control. Finding those seemed to break Spectrum's hold a bit, as he heard the dirty blonde groan. He ignored it, focusing more. He reached deeper into Sheriff's mind, pulling more memories up, these ones more specific.

Sheriff seeing a little girl crying. The girl was lost, she couldn't find her mom or dad. So, Sheriff picked her up, calmed her down, even bought her some ice cream, before helping her retrace her steps. The girl's mom and dad were extremely grateful, thanking the man profusely. He just smiled and reassured them it was no trouble.

Sheriff almost getting caught by Stratos after helping catch a bank robber. The brunette had grabbed Sheriff's wrist, attempting to get the dirty blonde to put them behind his back. Sheriff merely spun them around, telling Stratos he loved to dance and to just ask next time. That flustered the hero and he let go, allowing Sheriff to run and playfully wink.

Sheriff arriving home. In a... familiar home. Sheriff taking off his mask, hat, and scarf, setting them down on a familiar table... Sheriff walking down a familiar hallways, two familiar cats running over and greeting him. He picked the cats up, went into a familiar bedroom, and took out his phone. He sat on the familiar bed, turned on the camera, made it face him and-

JIMMY?! Hotguy gasped as he stared at the memory playing out, O-Oh my god, no wonder Sheriff and Solidarity went missing around the same time, they're the same person! Wait, fuck, Hephaestus says he knows who Sheriff is, meaning he knows that- Oh god, no wonder he ran! He wasn't going to reveal who Sheriff was! Oh god, what am I suppose to tell Cuteguy?! 'Hey, your missing brother? Turns out, he's a vigilante! In fact, he's Sheriff! So we found both, hurray!' Oh god, if Grian ever found out, he would kill Jim for doing something so dangerous! Hotguy groaned, shaking his head, Focus. Focus, it's okay. Just... focus.

***

Sheriff's eyes fluttered open, his head pounding, body aching. He groaned, looking around the room. He saw he was in some sort of office and-

Dollface~

He gasped, sitting up straight, looking around.

"Hey, you're-"

Sheriff stood and out his fists up, glaring.

"H-HEY! I come in peace!"

"Wh-What the?! Hotguy?! Where am I?! Where's Sp-" Sheriff stopped himself and shook his head, "Where's the villain?!"

Hotguy smiled kindly, sitting down and patting the seat beside him, "He's not here. It's just you and me. Sit."

"...Am I being arrested?"

"No, not at all. Just sit."

Sheriff hesitated, but did so.

"Listen, so..." Hotguy sighed, "Spectrum's grip on you was really, really, really strong."

"Yeah, I know." Sheriff hugged himself a bit, "I... I would try to fight it, but he would just... I don't know. I don't remember anything. I just remember his voice..."

Hotguy nodded, "Yeah, I know, I could tell. See, because Spectrum's grip on you was so tight, it wasn't as simple as me just challenging the power. I tried that, but his last order was to kill us, so when it didn't work, you woke up and tried to kill us."

"'Us?'"

"Cuteguy, Stratos, Sanctuary, Hephaestus, and I all found you, but Stratos and I took you back here." He explained, "Anyways, when I realized that didn't work, I had to go deeper into your head, root around, and pull you out. And, upon doing that, I... I saw your memories. Memories of you... without the mask."

Sheriff widened his eyes and stood up, stepping back, "Y-You-?!"

"Listen, it was the only other thing I could do and I don't feel good knowing, especially under these circumstances!" Hotguy stood up as well, "I don't want to expose your identity to more people, Solidarity, it's why I took you to a private room."

"Wait, you know me?" Sheriff asked, "Like, by name?"

"Yeah, um, soooooooo-" Hotguy removed his glasses, "I may or may not live with your brother...?"

The dirty blonde widened his eyes, "...HOLY SHIT!" He sat back down with the hero, "Scar? How could I not tell?!"

"Well, to be fair, we have tech in our masks and glasses that the hero industry made. It helps conceal our identities more. So, when I put my glasses on-" He put them back on, "-the tech makes it so your brain can't accurately pinpoint features. It confuses your brain, therein making it hard for people to recognize us!"

"Yeah, that makes sense, you look completely different with those on. Weird." He leaned back into the couch before widening his eyes, "Oh my god, how long was I gone?"

"Three weeks."

"OH MY GOD-" He quickly quieted down, looking at the brunette, "Please tell me Norman and Flick are okay?!"

"Grian and I took them in when looking for you." Scar reassured, "Cuteguy and I went looking for you, er, you as in Jimmy, and Stratos and Sanctuary were looking for Sheriff."

"Oh thank goodness." The dirty blonde sighed in relief before he seemed to realize something else, "Oh god, Grian and Pearl..."

"Yeeeeeeeah, they're freaking out... Don't worry, I didn't tell them!"

"Great! Now I gotta make up how I escaped Spectrum and make it look believable..." He sighed, "So, Cuteguy and Hotguy found Sheriff, but Grian and Scar are still looking for Solidarity, right?"

"Yeah. Listen, I could sneak you out and-"

"Nah, I got this. At least Pearl is safe from all this!"

Scar smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, yeah..."

***

The colorful villain growled, tapping his foot angrily.

"Sorry man, I was care-"

"Don't apologize, Owen, Sanctuary was playing dirty."

"Thanks for saving me, Scott. Even if it meant loosing your doll."

"You're my best friend, Owen. I can capture Sheriff again. I can't replace you."

The brunette smiled up at the other, "Softie."

"Alright, next time I'll leave you." The other teased.

Owen laughed, humming, "...You know his secret identity, right? Are you going to use that to your advantage?"

Spectrum chuckled darkly, "Oh Owen..." He smirked, eyes glowing as he manipulated the colors in front of them, "Scott is going to reconnect with an old friend and see how he's doing. Whatever happens after, I can't say."

Owen just laughed.

I keep coming back to this specific panel and thinking about how vulnerable Wei Wuxian looks in the last frame. Thinking about it and assuming everything that happened before the start of HoG was canon, this is probably the first time ever Wei Wuxian was allowed to be human without everyone judging him for it or demanding that he explain why he fucked up again.

Lan Wangji just says Wei Wuxian doesn't need to explain, doesn't owe him that, he's not *entitled* to Wei Wuxian or his thoughts and feelings. Irony of finally owning himself while also feeling trapped aside, I can't imagine how raw that must have made Wei Wuxian feel.

(this late analysis brought to you by me being bored at work 😂)

Awwww thank you so much for being bored at work because I loved this analysis a lot! 🥺

If there's one thing that guides this story is LWJ understanding WWX's harsh position and trying to respect him as a man, as a former part of the proper cultivation world of their society, as a boy who was happy and enthusiastic once, and as a person who always stood up for what is right, even if it brought destruction upon himself and others.

In several parts of this arc I saw many people comment stuff like "hug him, lan wangji!" "kiss him!" etc, and I know it was people getting really emotional hahaha I would've commented the same.

But LWJ won't do that unless he earned WWX'S trust and love. He wants to show him support not by words of love, but by words of understanding, of taking action, of making him know that he has someone to rely on. LWJ knows what it's like to be a cultivator, how much hard work it takes, and what it means to be a part of their society. He knows that WWX position and honor as a cultivator in their world was harmed and he knows how hard it is, so if he offers any comfort, it's standing by his side as an ally in this political world and trying to find a solution to redeem his reputation. Offering romantic love is something that he'd really want to do, but doing it to a person who's been through all that hardship feels like mocking him and belittling from his status, or at least, the status WWX once had. So he's being patient and wants to help WWX the best he can. To be honest, he doesn't even rely on the possibility of his feelings being returned. He just wants to save his Wei Ying from those who wish to harm him, and to make things better for him.

In this part you shared, LWJ knows how it must feel like for WWX. Even without knowing about his trauma of being pushed from the sword, LWJ suspects that WWX might not have his core anymore (see arc 1) and plus, he feels guilty for all that WWX had to deal with on this day he planned to take him out. So even if WWX says that it's just cause he's tired, LWJ believes it too, since it's a huge emotional toll to have to sneak out hiding your identity, then the fear of being discovered, being the cause of mass panic and hate, hearing insults and accusations, realizing he's hated by all, and on top of it all - staying hungry 😭

He doesn't need WWX to explain nothing. He just wants him to rest and be safe, so that he could figure out how to help him 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Thank you again for your message ❤❤❤❤❤ hope it got better at work lol

Hi! Could you do lee hakuji and ler koyuki pls? If not it is fine! (Bc I haven’t been updating) 😅😅😅

-leafyanon

They are one of my favorite couples 😻 (of the many I have jahskjahskaha)

Lee: Hakuji Soyama / Akaza

Lee: Koyuki (Hakuji fiancé)

'Hakuji-San, will you give me a kiss?', Hakuji looked at her and smiling tenderly kissed her forehead. 'Why do you always laugh?'

'Hehehe it's just, you can't kiss me because you're small hahaha. But I still love you Koyuki-Chan', Koyuki puffed up her cheeks somewhat annoyed.

It was not the first time that Hakuji called her small in an indirect way, but this time, Hakuji was not going to save himself.

'Hakuji-San, if I were you, I wouldn't laugh so much. You can also be at my height'

'Really? And how would you do it?', Koyuki smiled and placed her hands in Hakuji's armpits, gently sliding her fingers and laughing as Hakuji tried to fight off a smile. 'Come on Hakuji-San! I know you want to laugh~'

'N-no! K-Koyuki! This is cheating!'

'Of course not! You asked me to show you how I would make you match up to me and that's what I'm doing! I had your consent Hakuji-San! Tickle tickle tickle!'

Koyuki sang as she lowered her spider-like fingers into Hakuji's ribs. Hakuji was fighting with all his might not to laugh, but Koyuki's gentle touch was making him fail.

'Kohoyuhuhuki! Tsk! Hehehey! Thahat's so unfahahaihir!'

'Awwww Hakuji-San! I forgot how sensitive you are on your sides! You are so adorable! Tickle tickle!'

'Dohohon't tehehahase mehehe!', Hakuji's cheeks flushed red, trying not to push Koyuki away and receiving her tickles as he squirmed in place.

As the minutes passed, Hakuji's legs began to shake, he was having a hard time staying upright. 'Kohoyuhukihi plehehahase! Hahahaha! Nohohot thehehere! Cohohome ohohon!'

'I haven't heard you ask me to stop~. Awww Hakuji-San! You like tickling, right~? My cute Hakuji is a ticklish boy? Yes he is! Yes he is~', Koyuki laughed when Hakuji's knees finally touched the ground.

She followed him, kneeling and prodding his hips with one of her hands while her other hand slid down his neck.

'Yohohou're embahaharrassihihihing me! Okahahahay! Yohohou wihihin!'

'I'm not upset Hakuji-San! I just love tickling you! But it's okay, I'll stop hahaha', Koyuki stopped and kissed Hakuji's forehead before ruffling his hair. 'Hey Hakuji-San'

'Yes?'

'Since you're my height, can we kiss?', Hakuji smiled and gave her a tender kiss on the lips, hugging her and laying her on his chest while stroking her hair.

'I love you!', they both said it at the same time, causing them both to look at each other and laugh.

Hey, Blair!

CHOMP

Did you just bite her? Did you turn without her knowing?

You look up and give her a huge grin

Ok wtf?

She’s half laughing and half about to throw you into space

She’d ask why tf you chose to do that and you’d explain your self

She laughs and rolls her eyes

She’d give you a big hug

She low key loves it lmao even if it makes her clothes all slimy 😔

Mitch

This man was so fucking confused

Like he was just chilling with you

Everything is perfect (minus the undead walking about eating people)

Then he felt someone bite him

This instantly put him in attack mode

Until he realised it was just you

“Ow!- Right!-…oh…wtf was that for 🤨”

You give him a cheeky grin then explain

He takes a few minutes to process it before gently and playfully pushing you away

“Grate, now I have your slobber on me.”

He acts annoyed but he does love it really lmao

Marlon

You two where just enjoying each other’s company

Then chomp! U bit him!

But it makes you two laugh so who cares!

Aasim

Confused is the most minimal way to express his feelings lmao

When he felt a bite man screamed

He literally looks at you like this “😱😨😰”

He asks you like a million questions about it all at once

You really spooked this man huh?

You calm him down and explain

“😰…🤨…😠”

He acts all annoyed by it and will also complain about how unhygienic it is

But he does love it and will wrap an arm around you and give you a little squeeze to show you he’s not really mad

Omar

This man is quite concerned by he loves it

He obviously doesn’t expect it at first!

I mean your. Orb just sitting there, and then all of a sudden you bite him

And you explain again

And then he totally calms down

“Oh ok. :)”

He loves it lmao

can you do Guardian! Staff members and Mc who loves to crochet or knitting? Please

Awwww i love this!

Guardian! School staff + MC who loves crochet/Knitting

Characters : Crowley, Crewel, Trein, Ashton + Sam bc i said so!

Gn pronouns were used.

TW : none

Context : Everyone knew you as the magicless human, the school unpaid therapist, the teacher's/principal's kid! But little did they know that you were hiding a secret weapon! your ability to melt everyone's heart only by using some wool and needles!

Dire Crowley

When you first mentioned him that you liked crochet, he honestly forgot for a good couple of months,

yeah, he didn't care at all.

But then one day, for, let's say Christmas, you gave him a gift that would almost make him cry.

it was,,,,, a pocket sized crocheted Crowley,,,

and boy did he like it

He always has mini Crowley around.

On his desk, hanging on the keychain, sleeping besides him on a mini bed like- wait a sec-

there you go.

he also uses a silk tissue for him as a blanket 😭 like.

He's definitely asked you for scarfs and sweaters (specially really ugly ones unironically)

bonus points if you actually comply because the following requests will be those same things but mini sized...

he just! adores the idea of having stuff like that, that you especially made for him!! it's like always carrying a piece of you around.

He also BRAGS to the staff how he's so worthy of your gifts and how talented you are.

this was so goofy but i can totally picture Crowley sleeping, wearing matching socks with the mini Crowley beside him.

Also i think he would try to make a mini y/n for the next Christmas... yep, an attempt was made, but after showing it to you he's most likely to "borrow" it back so they don't get separated.

Divus Crewel

The first thing that came to his mind were super ugly sweaters, i mean, really ugly ones.

But the stuff you do is actually pretty cute, and some of it is even wearable !

Once you gifted him a knitted scarf.

Since then every winter he will wear it until the snow melts. EVERY. SINGLE. WINTER. i imagine in the future the scarf will look like those "before and after" plushies, you know, the ones that look fucked up after 20 years of daily hugs.

he isn't like Crowley going everywhere showing the staff whatever you made him.

But if someone points out the cute scarf he's wearing he will proudly tell them that you made it. Yes. For him only.

If you're into knitting tops or dresses he will gladly offer his constructive criticism <3

very proud dad is happy to hear you're into some grandma ass hobby rather than going on hikes with Jade or "birdwatching" with Rook.

Mozus Trein

Absolutely adores your hobby. Your fan n.1

You often make silly sweaters for his cat. And you know what? he LOVES IT.

Will send you a hundred photos oh his poor cat all dressed up every time you make something new for him.

Sometimes you make matching outfits for Grim and his cat and he's very amused by it.

Grim tho? not so much

But canned tuna will always do the trick.

Will wear anything you knit for him. anything. if it's really ugly he'll just wear it under whatever he usually wears.

You found out by kitting him a Garfield sweater just to see if he would actually wear it this time. At first glance it didn't seem like it but if you carefully focused on his sleeves... you could actually see a trace of orange!

Ashton Vargas

At first he didn't care much

like, cool, that's always better than drugs

but listen okay. Father's day, Christmas, Whatever but, a gift.

A "world's best dad" kinda gift.

But! not on a mug pfff that would be so BASIC

no.

You gift him a tiny crochet trophy with "world's best dad written on it."

when you tell him you made it, he almost breaks your ribs by hugging you with all his strength 💀

IT'S SO TINY AND CUTE OMG

He will either a) put in on his keychain or b) put in on the shelf with the rest of his trophies and medals 😭

apart from it i just don't imagine this man using scarfs or gloves in the winter like, he's definitely just wearing a thin jacket and the usual stuff he wears in summer.

Sam

Not a guardian but

He knows, since you usually buy the materials at his place.

he jokes that he could use a doll or two, yk, for "science"

but then one day you appear with a tiny crochet Sam, a little voodoo themed just to follow the joke.

But he's dead serious.

"Since when do you have it?"

"huh? i finished it yesterday...?"

"You shouldn't be doing things like this, little trickster."

You may hate how it sounds when Rook says it but hearing it from Sam right now in such a threatening tone. chills.

"Sure you didn't even poke it a little? you didn't play with it right?"

You shake your head , nervous as hell 😭

And with that he laughs and tells you that he's just joking, he knows you can't even use magic to begin with.

But from now on he also keeps mini Sam around, yk, to keep him company in the store.

also i can see him requesting you this :

Romantic Killer Headcanons

WHeadcanon: The characters with an extremely affectionite significant other(S/O)(Reader)Part 1

Characters: Rio/Riri , Junta

Author note: Author note:I'm not sure if I should give Rio/Riri male or non binary pronouns cause Riri is called they/them but when Riri was in their male form Anzu called Riri by male pronouns so I'm assuming it applies only in Riri's true form so when I address Riri I will use they/them but in Riri's male form when writing its going to be he/him starting now.

Rio/Riri

-Rio is also very affectionate , whenever you both go out places, he makes sure that you’re always holding hands together cause to him he just likes it like that.

-He likes PDA , he enjoys teasing you all the time whenever you’re all over him so when you go for a hug he gets very bubbly and giggly but way more than usually.

-Whenever he teases you for hugging and kissing him a lot Rio is usually like “Awwww you love me sooooooooooo much” and he would usually end that with kissy faces and a smile.

-He likes giving you affection but it feelss way better to him whenever you initiate it first, makes him feel loved.

-He has this huge revenge thing where whenever you surprise him with a display of affection, he tries to scare you afterwards with the same amount of affection.

-He usually doesn’t blush and get nervous because he knows all about romance and is a romance wizard but the one thing you do to make Rio blush is while he’s talking you lean towards him and kiss him on the lips cause he wouldn’t expect it.

-If you do that he would bombard you with kisses as pay back , smooching your face literally everywhere.

-He really loves giving you forehead kisses and whenever you’re out he would drag you outside and even though your always affectionite he would playfully play with your hands by entangling yours with his or play with your hair.

Junta Hayami

-Considering the amount of girls that are into him , his self esteem is pretty low so having someone he loves giving him all of the love in the world makes him have butterflies.

-He isn’t used to any form of affection cause he never had a girlfriend before and he always manage to reject others but as polite as possible cause he’s a good guy like that.

-He’s very tall so whenever you trick him into leaning down making him believe that your trying to tell him something and then you kiss him instead he blushes and he panic’s inside , he tries so hard to not show it at all but whenever you give him that amount of love its just so obvious cause of how he blushes and looks at you.

-Junta tries to give you the same amount of love as you give him because he thinks you deserve it though he asks before holding your hand or kissing when you started dating.

-at first he was too scared to hold your hand cause the idea of it was to stimulating for his heart to handle , of course he’s very calm whenever it happens but it takes time for him to get used to it.

-His friends would see you smooching him and everything and his friends would always walk up to him and tease him about how he loves you and everything and he would always tell them its not what it looks like but from the way he stutters and turns red in front of them all because of that says the opposite

Author Note: In the next one I will add Hijiri and Tsukasa:)

kanato cl endings!! this is my new favorite kanato route!! and for once, I think the good ending is more satisfying than the bad one lol

euphoria end:

in the church, kanato concludes that he just can’t ignore the sakamaki brothers. he has all kinds of feelings for them, including jealousy and contempt, and because of that, he won’t be able to part with them easily. (thats the most backwards way to say you love them I’ve ever heard, but I’ll take it!! good job, kanato!!) but outside, the scarlet and violet families are arguing over who gets to go inside and steal eve. ayato and laito are standing guard, and even though they’re SO outnumbered, ayato declares that they’ve got no choice but to stop em. and laito says it’s for his oniichan’s sake ^^

kanato… [wiping tears] …wants to go save ayato and laito. he can’t leave them, because they’re brothers who have been together since before they were born.

before he goes, he and yui stand at the altar and yui comments that it feels like a wedding, but kanato refutes that they can’t possibly have a wedding without wedding cake. they have a ring, though! because kanato bit yui’s ring finger earlier and it left a scar. so, because it might be their last time, they exchange vows and kiss.

…which is, of course, the key to leaving this place. everything goes white and they’re back in the real world. yui thinks ayato and laito are dead for a sec, but theyre just snoozin. karl heinz shows up, explains the whole thing, and gives kanato a pat on the back and tells him it’s time to inherit his powers.

kanato says, no way!! I won’t be king. I once thought that I didn’t care about those other guys, but I’ve just realized I have all these complicated feelings about them, and I don’t know what I’ll do if those guys are gone. so I won’t be all alone like you, father.

karl heinz is like “lmao…I’ll give u a little more time” and he disappears. time to go home. kanato jokes that they can leave ayato and the others behind, but he’s not serious >_> so they get to work waking em up. kanato says that he never thought such a day would come, but he misses how noisy the sakamaki house is. (awwww…!!)

back at the sakamaki house, the triplets + yui are studying together for a makeup exam. ayato and laito start goofing off after ten minutes, but kanato is SERIOUS because reiji hid all his sweets so he NEEDS to pass. he kicks his brothers out so he can focus, then grumbles that he should’ve left them at the miniature garden (LMAO) but yui’s like “aww, you’re totally having fun.” they make out and kanato says he loves her no matter where they are, and all’s well that ends well!! good for them!

labyrinth end:

yui confidently tells kanato she’ll trust whatever his decision is, and he’s like “okay. I want to murder everyone.” yui is all UMMM anything but that, please??? but he’s not listening. he sucks her blood till she loses consciousness

it suddenly cuts to carla whipping ruki and shin till they pass out, which is awesome but very unexpected. it’s the first we’ve seen them since they got captured lol. subaru arrives to tell carla that eve is at the church, so off we go!!

at the church, ayato and laito have gotten their asses severely kicked by scarlet fam. yuma also collapses and shu’s like “yuma….!” which is enough otp crumbs to keep me fed all week, thank you very much. carla arrives on the scene and starts shittalking with reiji, but then…!!

………..when yui wakes up, she sees kanato is covered in blood and she’s like “oh god we have to treat ur injuries!” and of course kanato’s like “dont worry, it’s not my blood ^^” he happily tells her that he’s almost finished taking care of things here, and he continues his unspeakable violence. he’s killed everyone and they’re the only ones left. he hugs her, and the blood he’s covered with is still warm.

well it doesn’t work; they don’t go home. (not that this would work anyway, but aren’t ruki and shin still alive in the violet dungeon? am I wrong…? did carla kill them? whatever.) yui faints and can’t speak, so kanato moves her around like a doll. they’ll live forever in this world, then, just the two of them. it’ll be awfully quiet.

back in the real world, karl heinz is like “my friend. did u get my sons killed” and socrates is like “sowwy :( I just didnt think it was worth it to lose my best friend to some immature adam.” karl heinz says it’s ok, and socrates suggests reversing time. karl heinz is like sure, yeah, let’s reverse time and have them try again. (EXCUSE ME???? EXCUSE ME????????????? COULD U DO THAT THIS WHOLE TIME. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING) so I guess they, uh, reverse time and try again????.?.??

I am the anon who asked when Leon first realized he was Feeling Things about ratthew, and I am actually in the middle of my reread, just at Christmas, and the additional Leon info - MY HEART. And he's not even totally wrong, there, Matthew puts on Leon's shirt when he was in his house and feeling lonely, he texted it to him intentionally, he thinks about Leon, Leon makes him feel better, even if he does not think about it that way! Matthew is plenty fucked up, but Leon gets his heart trampled pretty horribly, I want to give him the biggest hug. Thank you for sharing all these thoughts!

awwww i'm so flattered that you're rereading! ❤️ and exactly, you're spot on about how matthew is feeling about leon in that t-shirt selfie moment, even if he's not totally acknowledging it. he's really setting leon up for some heartbreak 😂 i really can't emphasize enough how high that nye call got leon's hopes. poor guy.

when i was writing haw, i was really torn between sticking to the really tight matthew pov or loosening it up a little to show more of leon's side of things, and i obviously wound up opting for the tight pov. and i do think that was the right choice from a craft standpoint, but i was sad not to include more of leon's side of the story and a little worried that i shafted him a bit as a character, since matthew's pov spends a lot of time assuming the worst about his feelings and motivations. plenty of people seem to love him anyway so i guess it worked out! but i am still glad for the opportunity to talk about his real feelings and motivations ❤️

on the flip side of all that, i did also think it would be fun to deliberately hold back on the non-pov characters' thoughts/feelings about stuff, because it served the pov/narrative but also so that i would have stuff to ~reveal if i wrote more in the haw universe, and because i thought it would be cool to see people seeing some aspects of the story in new lights once they learned more about the other povs. and i was right! so that has worked out great for me 😂

honestly, i have been feeling bad about being extremely unproductive on the fic-writing front (not because i feel like my worth is tied to my productivity or anything, but because i love the feeling of being enmeshed in a story i'm creating and being able to share that story with people, and i really miss that!!) so the fact that you and others are still engaging with haw and asking me questions and letting me babble about it is really really nice and gives me a little creative outlet while life is conspiring to keep me too busy to bury myself in a new writing project. so thank YOU for asking!! 💕

Pacific Rim Headcanons #2

What they would do if you, their (S/O) brought them lunch

(Requested by @screechinginthevoid, I hope you like it 😊)

.・゜✧﹒☁﹒✧゜・．

You, Y/N, are [character's name] S/O and decide to bring them lunch everyday, as they are busy Ranger pilots and can sometimes forget to eat. You make sure to include a little note to show how much you appreciate them (*^‿^*)

Raleigh: You make him classic American foods- a grilled cheese sandwich, mac n' cheese, and chocolate chip cookies. You write a little love note to him, putting it all in a brown paper bag, and take it to his barrack. He was sleeping when you got there, so you put it on his nightstand and gave him a little kiss on the forehead, covering him up with a blanket.

Yancy: You make him the same thing you made Raleigh- once you gave it to him, he pulled you into hug and kissed you, getting a very loud 'awwww!' from Raleigh who was in the doorway.

"Get out Raleigh!"

Mako: You make her Ingee Chicken, Nagarame, and Anno Imo, foods from where she was born, as you thought she would like a little taste of home. It turns out that she made some lunch for you too, consisting of your favorite foods. You both have a picnic on the roof of the shatterdome, watching Jaegers being deployed.

Chuck: You make him meat pies, chicken parmigiana, and fairy bread. When you go to give it to him, he nearly knocked the food straight out of your hands by accident, as he was sparring with his father. Herc made him apologize while he begrudgingly thanked you for the food.

Herc: You make him sausage rolls, avocado toast, and pavlova. He hugs you tightly, before he lets you go when you tell him that he's crushing your ribs. He also makes sure that you had something to eat before he went somewhere quiet to eat.

"Herc, please put me down before you snap my ribs."

Stacker: You make him Shepard's pie, sausage rolls, and trifle. You leave it at the foot of his office, before knocking on the door to let him know it was there. You didn't want to disturb him as you knew he was probably very busy with all the paperwork he had to do and overseeing the Jaegers in the shatterdome.

Newt: You give him a PB&J sandwich, a Caesar salad, and a roll of oreo's. You force him to it eat, as you knew that if you gave it to him he'd probably just eat an oreo or two and then focus on his research for the rest of the day. He thanks you for the lunch and offers to let you see the new kaiju samples that just arrived.

Hermann: You made him a ham and cheese sandwich, schnitzel, and plum pudding. You set it down on his desk, and he thanks you, promising to eat it in a few. You come back 3 hours later and notice that his lunch was still not eaten, and you scold him.

"Please just give me 5 more minutes to finish this and I will!"

Tendo: You give him a few bagels to eat, along with some jam and butter, and a cup of coffee. He gives you a quick peck on the cheek, before nearly spilling the coffee on the controls.

"Oops."

.・゜✧﹒☁﹒✧゜・．

I might include Jake and Nate the next time, but I've watched the first movie more than Uprising so idk if it would be good.

Dante & Squishmallows

●"Squishmallows huh? Big soft marshmallow like plushies? Yeah, they're growing quite popular lately!"

●Looks at your small beginner's collection. You explain the reason for it and Dante understands.

●"But you can make your collection a little bigger" Dante will say as you gaze at your 4 small Squishmallows.

●"But Dante they cost money and we need to keep some for the shop and....."

●"Babe, I spend most of my money on pizza and plus, we got Morrison. So I'd say we're doing good so far" Is Dante's reply with a wink and a cheeky grin.

●So yeah, Dante will buy them with the earnings from killing a few demons. It does surprise him when he walks into a store and sees a WHOLE ass variety of them though!

●He's just staring at them like *Arthur Morgan voice* "Oh My God".

●He's scanning through them, trying to find a good one.

●"Fuzz-A-Mallows? Flip-A-Mallows? Hug Mees? Stackables? Is that......What's a Squish-doos? I just need a Squishmallow!" Are Dante's thoughts as he flicks through them.

●"Store will be closing in 5 mins". Dante makes a mental note to not do late night shopping.

●He has enough money for two Squish and enough left over for pizza. So he picks a random Squishmallow out (You can choose which one) and a random Fuzz-A-Mallow (Again you can choose which one he picks).

●Gets home and you practically squeal and leap into his arms as he shows you the Squishmallows. You shower him with kisses and thank him from the bottom of your heart.

●His heart melts when you tell him this is the first Fuzz-A-Mallow you'll have in your collection and Dante feels so proud at that, sticking his chest out like Superman, hands on his sides with a proud grin.

●"Well I just saw a lotta of them there and decided that the Fuzz-A-Mallow would look awesome in your collection!" Said Dante. Then you guys order pizza!

●Dante will totally just nuzzle into your Squishmallows, especially during times when Demons go through their Heat and he just practically snuggles in a nest of your Squishmallows (they have your scent on them) and will be found purring happily even when not in Heat.

●He gifts you Dante The Demon Squishmallow. He was super stoked at finding a Squishmallow with his name. Like he literally let out a little squeal probably at seeing the Squishmallow with his name.

●"Here baby look! A mini Dante! He'll keep watch over you while I'm out hunting Demons!" Dante Says handing you the Squishmallow and you instantly hug the plushie and Dante.

●On nights when Dante hasn't come back from hunting and it's getting you late, you do start to worry. So you pick up Dante The Squishmallow and just hold him throughout the night, falling asleep eventually while you cuddle your Demon Squishmallow.

●Dante will come back, go upstairs and wash up before heading into the bedroom and see you in bed, fast asleep with Dante the Squishmallow in your arms. Dante smiles, walks over and pets the Squishmallow on the head.

●"Thanks for keeping her safe, Dante Jr." Said Dante smiling as he climbed into bed and cuddled up next to you.

●Eventually will get in on the Squishmallows. Goes Squishmallow hunting together with you in stores. You buy him his first Squishmallow just for him, Snorlax! He loves him and will even be found napping with his Squishmallow Pokemon in his favourite office chair or on the couch.

●Buys McDonald's with you so can get the McDonald's exclusive Squishmallows.

●You also find Laura The Cat Squishmallow from the Sleepover Squad who wears a strawberry onesie! And who loves strawberries, mainly strawberry sundaes? Your scruffy Demon Dante!

●You give him Laura. "I saw her and immediately thought of you" You Say. Dante looks at Laura and grins before embracing you in a loving hug.

●"Strawberry onesie!" Dante cheers and you both laugh, Dante cuddling his strawberry wearing kitty cat Squishmallow. Awwww!

●And it gets even better when Dante finds a pizza Squishmallow. Dante practically cheers like his football team just scored the winning goal.

●This scruffy demon boi would happily join you in a nest of Squishmallows, snuggling up with you and holding you close, purring loudly.

Asking Them "What is Love?": Part 1

Warnings: (not really a warning but) pet names used affectionately (pretty boy, babe, baby, princess, mochi), Gojo is a tease and pretends that yall are FWB, angst to fluff in Maki's part (mentions of the Zenin Clan)

A/n: Sorry for not posting last week 😥😭 It might be the holidays but I still have training for my club activities and yeah I needed to rest a little! Double fic next week I promise 🥺

This is inspired by that one Vanitas no Carte scene ifykyk 😉🙃 (since I just finished Cour 2 of Vanitas no Carte also if you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend it!!!)

Characters: Itadori Yuuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Kugisaki Nobara, Gojo Satoru, Zenin Maki x Gender Neutral!reader

Itadori Yuuji

"Hey Yuuji, what is love?" The random question you asked while you and your boyfriend were cuddling on his bed was answered by Itadori's confused look.

He cocked his head to the side, his face scrunched up in confusion. "Isn't love what you feel for me?" He asked, cupping your face. You leaned into his touch while replying, "Of course baby, but how does someone describe love? Like what's it's equal to? You know what I mean?"

Itadori looked even more confused at this, but started thinking really hard about it nonetheless. "You know what nevermind. It probably-", you were cut off by your boyfriend's answer, his words catching you off guard.

"Well, there's no guarantee we'll meet someone we can love and who loves us back in this world, so love is a blessing, a huge one. Love is warm, you know? It kind of just embraces you into a huge warm hug whenever you see the person you love. It overwhelms you and at that moment, you can only feel the rush of affection for the person you love. At first, you'll get nervous when spending time with the person you love. But over time, it becomes so natural that hanging out together feels right, and it comforts you, like warmth on a cold and snowy winter day. That's how it is for me when I'm with you," he replied, his serious expression melting into one of pure love for you.

"Awwww my baby is so sweet! I love you so much Yuuji!" You said as you hugged him really tight, pressing a kiss to his cheek. He presses a kiss to the top of you head, hugging you back as he says,

"I love you too. So so much."

Fushiguro Megumi

"Megumi, what is love?"

Megumi shut the book he was reading as you curled up closer to him under the blankets on his bed, a slight blush on his face. "What's with the sudden and random question?" he asks, looking away from you while trying to hide his flustered face.

"Is my pretty boy flustered from just one innocent question that I wanted his opinion on?" you asked, seemingly innocent. The large smile on your face suggested otherwise, and Fushiguro refused to look at you.

You weren't expecting a reply, so you were ready to comfort your boyfriend after teasing him, but to your surprise, he did answer your question.

"Love is something that when you experience for the first time, it becomes so painfully overwhelming. You lose all common sense when you see the person you love, and you end up messing up in front of them and things like that. But after you get over the awkwardness and you confess, only to find out the person loves you back, it's a completely new journey. Love is nice… Really nice. It makes you feel on top of the world while also allowing you to humble yourself. You get to learn more about yourself and your partner, and it's honestly a feeling that kind of… Sucks you in and doesn't let go. When you find the right person to love, and when that person loves you, your affection for them just overflows… And I really love you so much… Thank you for showing me what love is."

"Megumi…" Needless to say, you were completely shocked, not just because he answered you, but so because of how his words truly came from the bottom of his heart. You stroked through his hair as you pressed your lips to his, kissing him gently. Of course, he kissed back, the kiss full of love and emotion.

"I love you so much too Megumi! Thank you for bringing me along this journey of experiencing love. I hope this journey never ends," you say happily, resting your head on his shoulder.

"Yeah… I want this journey to last forever too," he replied, linking his hand with yours.

Kugisaki Nobara

"Hey princess? What is love?" You and Kugisaki were getting ready to go out on a date together, when the question suddenly struck you.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean? Isn't love just an emotion? Love is just love," she says as she picks out an outfit for herself.

"Yeah… Love is an emotion but how does one describe it? What exactly makes it different from just admiration or whatever?"

"Why do you even think of such questions?" she sighs and pauses, before continuing, "Well, love is complicated. You feel so many things for someone and you sometimes don't know what to do. It's like you're going crazy over how to tell that someone that you know, you love them. And the prospect of being rejected makes you feel sad I guess. At least that's what most people say. To me, love is more of a growing feeling that just builds up over time. No matter how long you spend with someone, you'll continue finding new things to love about them each time. Love is something that could hurt and heal, but over time it'll make you stronger while also giving you someone to open up to. The person you love is someone who is like a day of sunshine and hope, someone who you can always rely on and love."

"That's deep… And I didn't know you thought of me that way!" you exclaimed, grinning mischievously.

Kugisaki rolled her eyes as she smiled, "Yeah yeah but that's truly how I really do feel about love… And you. Now get over here and help me pick a dress to wear!"

Gojo Satoru

"Hey 'Toru… What is love?" You asked you boyfriend as he snacked on some of the mochi he had just got after going shopping with you.

"Simple isn't it? Love is the emotion I feel when I see sweets! It's the emotion only for sweets and nothing else!" He declared proudly as he held up one the mochis he was eating.

You pouted, hitting his shoulder lightly. "Then what about the feelings you have for me?" you countered.

"Oh those feelings? Aren't we kind of like friends with benefits? Did you mistake our relationship to be something more than that?" He smirked, looking at the mixture of annoyance and confusion on your face.

"On a serious note, love might be a wonderful thing, but it's still one of the greatest curses of all. In my opinion, it's the biggest curse of all because love makes you so comfortable and vulnerable around a certain person that you just can't and don't want to hide anything from them. You just want to show who you really are, your weaknesses and all. Being yourself in front of another person, completely letting your guard down… It's like being stark naked in front of them, and maybe it's even worse. It's scary how love gets you to open up to another person, but if it's with my little mochi here, I don't mind at all," he says as he pulls you in for a hug.

"Awww my 'Toru is such a romantic tease. I love you so much!" you replied, placing a kiss on his cheek. He kisses you back on your cheek, before kissing you on the lips, the kiss conveying all his love for you.

Zenin Maki

"Hey babe! I was wondering… What exactly is love?" you linked your hand with Maki's as she tore her eyes away from the action movie the two of you were watching, giving you a calculative look.

"Ha? What are tryna make me do? And what's with that oddly deep question? You know I'm not that good at answering those kinds of questions," she replies, squeezing your hand gently.

"Silly Maki. I'm not trying to make you do anything, nor am I trying to get you to say something you don't wanna. I just want to know your honest opinion on what I asked, that's it!" you flashed her your most innocent look, which made her sigh.

"You know I can't argue when you give me that look. Love huh… I never really felt it before, until you came into my life. I was treated like nothing back in the clan, and all I felt were basically just cold, stabbing emotions. But when I met you, it's like the ice in my soul melted. You're like the Sun to me, you're the only one who can melt my heart which was frozen and taught not to be loved for so many years. Romantic love and platonic love are different though. Platonic love is more about cheering you up when you need it. But romantic love is a constant, unchanging even when you go through the highest and lowest points in life. Just knowing my partner will be there for me through highs and lows is more than enough for me. And seeing that you're by my side no matter what makes me feel so unusually at peace with myself and the world."

"Babe… I love you so much you know that? I'll always be here for you ok? I'm never ever gonna leave you," you say as you hug Maki tightly, leaving a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you too… And please… don't ever leave me," she replies, hugging you back.

"I won't. Ever," you promise and she smiles, resting her head on your chest.

Hope you enjoyed this one! It's been different from my other fics since there are no headcanons at all! Part 2 will be out soon so keep an eye out for that!

i was looking through my notes app and found some notes i wrote while reading edge of great (the jatp novelisation) in feburary 2021 so i thought i'd post them bc i miss the time when i was so obsessed with jatp i could quote large parts of it from memory:

okay it's thicker than i expected this is a good start

multiple povs?! oh my god yesyesyes

i've read one page and I'm already loving it because i was expecting it to just be a retelling of the action with barely any insight to characters thoughts other than "i was feeling sad :(" but it's giving so much more than that

luke says sunset curve were all "vibing" shdhfnd

the dialogue is slightly different in some places but honestly i don't hate it

a pink flower in a vase next to rose?? the dahlia symbolism is here already people

bobby is a cheesy hopeless romantic confirmed

[luke about trying to be modest] "it was a new look for me, i'll admit." avdhfdhdhd

alex interrupts reggie trying to flirt with rose avdbfjdd i'm loving the new dialogue

THE HOT DOG CART IS BASICALLY CALLED SALMONELLA I-

luke makes a joke about staving to death oh god the dramatic irony

julie's literal first words are "my best friend flynn is amazing" 🥺🥺

JULIE SAID FLYNN WAS HER OTHER HALF 🥺🥺😭

loz feliz performing arts high school??

julie calls carrie cute?? girl-

i've been spelling dirty candi as "dirty candy" this whole time. whoops.

trevor has literal platinum records but the thing julie decides to point out is that one of his songs was in a car advert shdjdjfjf

nooo they took out flynn shouting demon at carrie

julie mentions flynn and how amazing she is at nearly every given opportunity

"flynn and i were always straight with each other" this is meant to a dramatic moment but i'm laughing at this ahdjdnem

julie is a writer!! not just of lyrics/poems, she writes other stuff too!!

she describes the garage as being full of ghosts when referring to memories of her mum... i'm living for all the dramatic irony

ahh julie and ray are speaking in spanish to each other so much more than they did the show

the teacup and spoon rose had been using before she died were still there 🥺

julie says that she felt like her mum was telling her to play the cd ahhh

the first thing she says about the guys is that they're cute JULIE AHDJFK

wavy hair reggie yesss

julie says oh my god instead of oh my gosh

julie doesn't know luke's name so she's calling him floppy acdjfjrks

her reasoning for letting the guys stay in the garage was because she thought it was what rose would've done 🥺🥺

ALEX'S POV HELL YEAH

they took out reggie losing his shirt this is so sad 😔

[alex about julie playing wake up] "i couldn't remember the last time I felt so moved by music that wasn't actually my own."

okay i get why they changed povs but i kind of wish we'd gotten julie's pov while she played wake up

the first episode took up about 1/5 of the book jesus-

they skipped the bit about the only thing scarier than one girl crying being two girls crying 😔

flynn: "instagram" alex: "what-stagram?"

flynn hugs julie after she tells her about playing music again awwww

noo they cut out the scene where ray comes in to the studio ffs stop cutting scenes please

alex: "it tingles in weird places" alex, literally one line later: "well, it did."

according to alex the other describe him as "warm and fuzzy"

also so far everyone's pov has called luke out for being too cheesy

reggie: "i'm gonna guess death breath"

alex is now describing luke as the puppy reggie never had

alex calling luke and reggie his family 🥺😭

when julie went into her room and found the guys messing around she was on her way to text flynn 🥺 this book just makes me love their friendship so much more

reggie is described as having "a mop of hair" god i wish 😔

dahlia symbolism count: 3. so far it's been a vase next to rose, the curtains in the studio, and the flowers in julie's picture of her

luke: "our instruments are attached to our souls." reggie: "and sometimes our belts."

okay so the book confirms that julie found therapy helpful but she just didn't want to go back because she thought others would see her as fragile, which imo is a lot better than in the show when she just seemed like she hated it

they merged alex asking if julie got back into music with luke showing her bright which i get because if they kept everything in the book would be pretty long but... idk i kinda liked how it was just julie and luke when he showed her bright

julie describes the wow performance as being like a superbowl half-time show

list of celebs who've been name-dropped so far: weezer, the smashing pumpkins, katy perry, and harry styles

julie wanted to kiss kayla?!? wlw julie confirmed

YES TIME FOR REGGIE'S POV

reggie's internal dialogue is using way more words than necessary and as an autistic person I relate to that so i'm gonna use this as proof reggie is autistic 😙✌

reggie says how little julie's smiled since they met and is now describing her smile in detail 🥺🥺

me, seeing that reggie's pov is already over: :(

me seeing that it's alex's pov and he's about to meet willie: :D

avxhfjfldnd alex was so mesmerised by how beautiful willie was he forgot to speak 😭😭

damn they took out willie asking alex if he's into guys if he wanted a picture with fake marilyn monroe (they changed it to spider-man)

y'all willie gave alex a hip bump I'm dying over here

"wait, how can i see you again?" god this is killing me i love them 😭🥺

"even if you don't have questions" willie is hardcore flirting and i respect that

"i liked the sound of that" god it's been a few minutes and alex is already whipped agshdndm

dahlia reference number 4 (this time it's a mug)

instead of calling julie "insanely talented" luke calls her "annoyingly talented"

julie canonically uses the word "bonkers" and idk why i love that so much

ahhh i'm already halfway through the book and it's still episode 3

FLYNN'S POV OH MY GOD YES YES YES

i'll look at the pictures first though

okay now onto flynn's pov

maybe this is just me, but why does everyone say "mother" instead of "mom" all the time? it seems weirdly formal but whatever

flynn calls flying solo "our song" (meaning her and julie's) 🥺

svdbfjff whenever alex went to meet willie he just said he was going for a walk

wait, walks? plural?! alex and willie had more interactions and we didn't get to see them?! livid 😤

willie wanted to show alex the museum because it was one of his favourite places... god I'm soft

"i would've followed willie just about anywhere" stoppp this is too much for me 😭🤧

"together. i liked the sound of that." awwefdhehrhe

alex's catchphrase seems to be "I liked the sound of that" rather than "okay"

"so close that I could feel his breath" why did I think they were gonna kiss 💀💀

willie: "feels good, right?" alex: "yeah, it does." alex, in his head: "i was talking about the screaming, but i was talking about being here, now, with willie, too." oh god oh fuck-

"wagging an eyebrow" girl why is that worded so weird 😭💀

nah there's no way luke doesn't know what a sample is

yess we're back to luke's pov 😎

the book confirms that it was luke who wrote "hi bobby" on the mirror but i still refuse to believe it because of the one tumblr post i saw comparing all the boys handwriting and saying it was reggie (also the writing it too neat to be luke's 😌)

they cut the entire julie-sneaks-around-while-flynn-distracts-carrie bit 😔 (and also the guys mooning trevor)

"and the truth was, [julie] was becoming important to me. i hated to let her down." awwww 🥺🥺

sbdjfkfl reggie called the hgc creepy and alex got defensive because it "was willie's place"

when luke said they were "overdressed" they all tucked their shirts in

ffs not the eyebrow wagging again (this time from flynn)

so julie considers carrie as her frenemy and not an actual enemy... inch resting...

"the awkward "joke" just sat in the air like dead fish" abdhfjf what are these metaphors

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT WILLIE'S POV?!?! I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT HOLY FUCK AHHHHH

awww when alex asked about the lifers being "sworn to secrecy" willie wanted to telm him about caleb owning everyone at the hgc's souls but he couldn't 🥺🥺 if I catch anyone posting willie slander it's on sight 🥊😠🥊

OKAY WHAT I'M LIVID - they reduced the whole "do this forever"/"there's a lot to like here" thing to just the dialogue. literally no mentions of the lingering glances or luke's "you got a crush on willie". fucking disgraceful. i hate it here.

THERE - WE LITERALLY HAVE PROOF THAT WILLIE DIDN'T KNOW CALEB WANTED THE GUYS TO JOIN HE HGC WILLIE ANTIS CAN GO HOME NOW

willie watched the guys getting stamped and said it felt like his stomach was filling with lead SEE I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY WILLIE SLANDER IN THIS HOUSE

willie noticed alex looking into the crowd before leaving and wondered if he was looking for him... do tell me willie who else could he possibly be looking for

"alex said, looking stressed (then again, when did alex look not stressed?)" avshdnfmfr

julie describes nick's voice as "soft" and "graveled"

apparently julie has had a crush on nick since kindergarten, and in kindergarten nick cried because he couldn't get the lid off of his glue stick

luke says that knowing he let julie down at the dance hurt more than caleb's jolts 🥺🥺

the boys' little "sorry" song has it's lyrics written the same way the other songs, the ones actually in the soundtrack, do. tell me jatp why the sorry song isn't on the soundtrack right now 🔫😠

literally no mention of alex's dancing what in the homophobia

according to julie, finally free is about the power of connecting through music, but i still choose to believe it's a gay anthem about coming out

when julie saw her dad cooking breakfast and humming finally free she "almost died from how cute it was"

wait i just realised throughout this whole book there's been barely any mentions of julie and luke sharing the mic, and nothing about luke and reggie sharing either, and julie waking through luke in bright was just ignored. disgusting.

julie canonically thinks ray is the best dad ever 🥺🥺

that being said I'm pissed the book cut reggie from this scene

julie describes herself as being "charmed" by luke being nervous jskdkkdhs

flynn's pov again babey 😎

lmao nevermind the chapter was two pages long

also the whole perfect harmony sequence is just cut and all we hear is julie mention it to flynn... bruh

reggie and alex both see how hard luke is simping for julie and just give each other shit-eating grins whenever he mentions her dgehdjdj

when willie tells alex he can't explain why he's spying on him alex says "and to think i had felt there had maybe been something between us" fuckk

alex wondered if willie had ever had feelings for him or if he was playing him the whole time 🥺😭 bby nooo

they cut girls amirite... no one talk to me...

y'all... i think, other from julie, alex has had the most pov chapters... interesting...

the boys were literally so distressed about flynn eating pizza when they could smell it and not eat it and said they'd die of deprivation sgdhdjfkd

alex: *was choking back a sob*

willie: *was choking back a sob*

me: *was also choking back a sob*

😃 wtf... when willie says he cares about alex and hates that he brought them all into this mess, alex snaps at him... bro wtf that is not what happened and doesn't fit in with what alex was feeling in that moment at all... fuck this book

julie hugs flynn in the book at lot more than in the show so maybe it does have rights after all...

they've made a "face the music" pun at least 5 times so far in this book

wait - luke says that julie played his parents unsaid emily implying she sang it?? yo...

"but there was nothing I could say, nothing I could do, to make things better. so instead, I watched her go." why does that line hit so hard

"i pulled him in for a quick hug" lmao girl no

I JUST REALISED they cut the "i would've still followed you" scene 😭 the homophobia of it all 💀💀

'"i won't forget you," he said before spoofing out. Me either.' god don't do this to me today 🥺🥺

"with my smoothest dance move" now THAT'S the alex i know and love

the promoter and his assistant have names now: frank and tasha

the book's nearly over and i just realised there were barely any reggie pov chapters 🥺 not only is he my comfort character i also really liked his internal dialogue... oh well 😔

they really let there be spelling mistakes in this book smh

"who knew sunset boulevard smelled like cat pee and old takeout containers? not very glamorous, given that this was my hollywood rockstar dream."

"the music filling me like air - like joy" god I love that line

julie feels the need to point out how good luke looks in his tuxedo avdhdndmd

"i'm gonna miss you." "not as much as we're gonna miss you." oh god oh fuck-

wait THEY GRABBED HANDS ON STAGE??! AM I MISSING SOMETHING!?!?

"are you real?" "we were always real. But now... maybe... we're here?"

okay so i finished it and it was fun to read overall but i felt like past episode 3 was very rushed and condensed (makes sense since episode 3 finished past the half-way point of the book) and it stopped being as well written (barely any internal dialogue and descriptors), and some moments were mischaracterised heavily (including a lot of the willex) and juke just didn't seem developed at all. also i wish reggie had gotten more pov chapters since he's, y'know, a main character. i'm pretty sure he got, like, 2 :( also a lot of the music scenes lacked emotion but since this is an adaptation of something with music without music i'll let it slide. it was still nice to read either way.

#unfortunately my brain lost the capacity to be completely and utterly obsessed with jatp #but it still holds a special place in my heart #lova's terrible posts #jatp #julie and the phantoms #the edge of great #jatp book #jatp novelisation #julie molina #alex mercer #luke patterson #reggie peters #willie jatp #willie wilbur williamson #flynn taylor #flynn jatp #carrie wilson #ray molina #caleb covington

The Observatory North Park, San Diego, 12/9/23

Though we were in a different city the setup for this show was very similar to last night in LA: large, ornate theater with a barricade keeping people back from the stage. But this was no impediment to the band torching through a stellar set.

Amanda calls me Tom the Critic because after shows I have a tendency to skip over the OMYGOD THAT WAS AWESOME part and pick nits over minor issues. It’s a character flaw; I’m working on it.

After this show I took Amanda’s face in my hand, looked her in the eye, and said, “Amanda, you know I love you, but I am about to tell you something that you probably thought you’d never hear me say.”

“Oh god,” she replied, bracing for the worst. “What is it?”

I leaned in close and whispered, “Perfect show. No notes.”

“AWWWW!” she said as she melted into my arms for a big hug.

And it really was a truly stupendous show, but even so it came close to being overshadowed by the after party.

Amanda’s sister Alyson (of forced wedding / gross cake fame) was in town for a hematology conference, and her “book doula” Jamy Ian Swiss lives in San Diego, so they were both there.

I convinced them - and Amanda’s brilliant long-time sound guy Dave - to join us for drinks at Part Time Lover, a nearby combination bar and vinyl record store. As we headed out I snuck up behind Amanda and said, “I think I just convinced your sister to come out drinking.” She said, “Yeah, that tracks.”

The place was jammed with a boisterous young crowd when we arrived, but we closed the place down and there hardly was anyone left by 2am.

I got to learn about Alyson’s efforts to cure cancer with targeted drugs and Dave’s work training the next generation of sound engineers. That was lovely, but Jamy stole the show. Or rather, put one on.

Knowing him primarily from his work with Amanda on her book, I thought the magic was a bit of a side hustle. When I asked, “Are you any good?” his look said, ‘I will tolerate that because you are buying me drinks,’ but his mouth said, “I am much better than good.” And then he pulled out a deck of cards and proved it.

I had never actually seen close magic up close, like literally standing next to the magician. Let me tell you, it is quite an experience. You know it’s a trick, you know he’s doing something, but you cannot see anything, which makes you start questioning your sanity. He really is much better than good.

After we closed the bar Dave and Alyson bailed but Jamy soldiered on and we went to an all-night diner where the spirited (pardon the pun) conversation continued until we finally parted ways around 4am. This was one for the annals.

Delilah (featuring Veronica Swift) Welcome to the Internet (Bo Burnham cover)

Another lengthy intro before launching into a set of new songs, although this didn’t feel like the angsty delay tactic of the previous night but just bringing the audience up to speed on what was about to happen. Mister God

By way of introduction to the next song Amanda said that the friend who was the first person she sent it to when it was finished was in the audience.

“A really dear friend of mine is in the audience tonight … his name is Jamy Ian Swiss and he’s a man of many talents, among them: he’s an incredible professional magician. But he also helped me write a book called “The Art of Asking,” which was kind of a magic trick itself. Over the course of working on this book together he got to know me very very very well.”

And I thought, ‘Oh yeah I need to party with this guy.’

Houdini

Believe it or not, as Amanda was telling the background story of the next song, there was another medical emergency that necessitated bringing up the house lights, same as the previous night in LA. Once again the staff was on it and the band and the crowd were very respectful.

Afterwards Brian said, “It is actually really amazingly rad to have venue after venue’s staff come up to us after shows and go, ‘Your crowd is really awesome; they’re really good people!’”

Oh my goodness I loved your domestic hcs for Asra! If you want, could you please do one for Julian??

Awwww thanks! I’m glad you liked it. And yes, I would love to do one for Julian. I had so much fun doing this. Thank you!! I hope it’s what you wanted and sorry for any mistakes.💕

Little side note: I am still working on requests for fictif characters, but I just needed a lil break from writing about them for now. But they will be out!💕

Asra’s Version | Muriel’s Version

The Arcana Julian Domestic Headcanons!

Warnings: Mentions of trauma/ depression and depressive behaviours.

How do they sleep? Do they snore? Steal blankets? Ect.

This adorable, lanky man, doesn’t properly fit on beds half the time. His long legs usually end up lightly dangling off the edge of the bed. When he’s actually sleeping however, he tosses and turns a lot (more often than not it’s because he’s extremely stressed and has consumed enough coffee to feed a small army. This can also feed into getting nightmares.) which ends up with him stretched across the whole bed, long limbs going every which way. He also steals the blankets a lot. He’s naturally got a cooler body temperature so he often needs to get warm. But he also just gets wrapped up in the blankets because of all the tossing and turning and becomes a Julian burrito. Pillows will end up all over the floor too.

If he sleeps with you however, he’s more cautious of how he sleeps. Will get you to either, sleep on his chest or be tucked into his side, in an attempt to literally weigh him down so he doesn’t move. Though when you’re sleeping together, it makes him calm and less likely to be having a restless night. He also just loves cuddling you and will seek out your warmth. Still manages to not only steal the blanket, but to get caught in it.

Do they prefer baths or showers?

Both.

Julian when he is in a depressive episode, can find it hard to have the energy or even motivation to do much of anything, including hygiene upkeep. So in times like this, he’ll try for a shower because it is quicker and because he fits better in showers than he does baths. That being said, he can also go for a bath depending on how far down the rabbit hole he is. Relaxing in the warm water, in a candlelit room, with sea salts from Nevivon, can lull him into a peaceful state which can help fend off the demons for just a little while.

Are the clean or messy?

Hmmm….More organised chaos.

Everything looks as though it’s been haphazardly thrown around, BUT! He knows where everything is. From where his boots are to where an old receipt from a decade ago is. (Just don’t ask what the receipt is from….)

He does take very good care of his medical notebooks/textbooks, medical equipment, and his leeches. Those things can save lives and need to be kept somewhere nice so they don’t get damaged.

How frequently do they wash their hair? How long does it take?

He washes it every few weeks.

With all the time he spends gallivanting around the place, washing his hair is a task that he’ll somewhat neglect. Especially if he’s already in a depressive state. So a lot of the time his hair is kinda oily. When he does wash his hair, it can take a good while to wash it because he needs to wash it thoroughly. It can also take a little while more because he has to take care of his curls.

What is their love language?

Physical touch and words of affirmation.

Let’s be real! This man is touch starved. He adores physical affection, in all forms, from anybody. When it comes to you though, he’s even more affectionate. He’ll always be cozying up to you. Hugging you, holding your hand, or even wrapping an arm around your waist.

Is very shy about it though, often will not initiate anything in fear of being rejected. Please, show this guy some affection!!!! You’ll be greatly rewarded.

He also THRIVES off of praise. Especially behind closed doors. He’s hard on himself all the time and is convinced the worlds hates him. While he’ll be wary at first, after awhile though he’ll be more open and appreciative of it. It will render him a blushy mess though.

Favourite wind-down activity?

Going to the Rowdy Raven for a pint (or a few) of salty bitters. He enjoys going with you and/or the gang to wind down and let loose. Julian LOVES the general atmosphere of the place. Especially once the music starts! After that, he’ll be dancing on the tables with all of his stress and worries from the day long forgotten.

Who cooks and who cleans?

He can’t cook to save his life. Unless you count burnt food as cooking, which in that case then, he’s a regular Gordon Ramsay.

He has tried many times to cook you a nice meal but, it didn’t go so well. His heart is always in the right place, but him and cooking just don’t work.

So instead, he’ll opt for keeping you company when you cook. Regaling you with tales of his most daring escapades. He can lend a hand when needed. Will do the washing up instead though!

And if none of you can cook? Well, dinner at the Rowdy Raven sounds good!

Main reason for arguments?

The main reason for arguments comes down to trauma and depression. Julian has a long history of unhealed trauma/depression. This is where his self hatred, self isolating, and drinking problems stem from. Even when things are going well in his life, with his friends and family, and other relationships, these behaviours can still unfortunately rear the ugly heads. When he is in this horrible headspace, every demon in his head is screaming at him about telling him he doesn’t matter, and how nobody loves him, ect. This will lead him to push you and everyone else away and to retreat back into his bad habits. Eventually, that behaviour can/will cause arguments. Especially if he turns up on your doorstep drunk outta his mind. Or when it reaches the x amount of times this has happened. Though with time, support, and proper communication, these occurrences will lessen.

Other “arguments” that occur are usually just over tiny little things when he/your tired and is either forgotten about, or resolved quickly.
