I know this is prob a dumbass thing to be happy about kinda, but I had a long debate over gender yesterday with a conservative Christian bro, and at the end he said I made good points and he disagrees, but will consider what I said. Like 🥹 did I just throw a starfish closer to the water

Just like you
Paring:2BDamned x employer!reader
Warning:so much adorable shit, subtle swearing tho
Notes:the employer reader is from @rotshop and this was inspired by a photo they made of the employer reader,2BDamned, and a little baby grunt. Adorable shit. Would have made this a while back but i was frankly to lazy lol.
So ya employer reader and doc being parents to a baby grunt. Enjoy :3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How long has it been now? Weeks? Months? A year? Time can be a bit of a blur after the suns disappearance, you can lose track of how many days it has been as the sky always remained that dark red hue. Even if a long time as passed you can still recall the same events that happened some time ago.
You had joined hank,sanford, and deimos on a raid, no reason in particular you just wanted to come along. A tingling feeling that something will happen, uncertain if it was the feeling of impending doom looming over your head, or something far different. Whatever it was you wanted to be present for it, a change you wouldn't want to miss after endless raiding and passing out from the random drops in temperatures as of late. Damn your cold bloodedness...
The building you all came across was empty, almost barren much to hanks dismay. Dust and cobwebs littered about with some knocked over desks,chairs, and broken lab equipment. Deimos and sanford wandered to the next room to find supplies on the right and hank went up ahead to a room across the entrance,normally you would follow hank or the duo but decided to go on your own for a change of pace and go to the room on the left.
The lights in the room flickers, barely holding onto the ceiling from their age but they still did their purpose. Despite the flickering you can still see everything fine, you didnt see nothing special at 1st just knocked over tables and a dry blood covered vending machine until in your peripheral vision you saw something move.
You was not alarmed or afraid, the thing looked small, almost the size of a mouse compared to you it couldn't possibly be anything harmful. Yet something told you to check what it was, silently you wandered over to where it moved, behind a bar that was in the room with broken glass all around. When you peeked over to see what it was you saw a grunt, it was smaller then a average, one less then half of the size of one. A small child...
"Hello" you said as calmly as you can muster, a jump and a small squeal was the childs response before it cowers and starts to cry "go away! Go away scary monster!!" It cried, you did not take offense. A faceless being made of shadow and as tall as you are can scare anyone, even to a poor defenseless child "its ok little one i wont hurt you..." You attempted the calm voice again, you receive no response as the child continued to cry in fear. You wouldn't want to leave it alone, so you waited for the others to find you and stayed out of the childs line of sight so you dont scare it more then you are.
Once the others came you asked sanford or deimos to carry the child to the van, hank scared the child too so you did not bother to ask him. After several minutes deimos managed to pick up the child and you all went on your way back to the HQ...
It did not take a lot to convince 2B to let the child stay, it only took you a simple phrase "i am adopting them, dont stop me" with determination in your tone. He only sighed, frankly a little tired from all the shit the group has gone through and mumbles a "ok" leaving it at that. The child had no name, so you named them with a name that even a employer like yourself would be jealous of but you sometimes still call them little one,because they are.
The child trusted 2b right away, clinging onto him like they saw a monster under the bed...only the monster was you. Whenever you get close to them both the child hugs him and cries, begging him to make the monster go away. 2b tries his best to claim you are not a monster and your not there to hurt them but he's not the very best at consoling people. It does hurt a little to see the child be so afraid but you can understand why too, being new to this parenting life it is difficult to know what to do in these situations...at least 2b had your back in this.
Eventually the child called 2b their "dada" and it just stuck, seeing him as their father. You always grin at this with your human like teeth with sharp canines at how adorable it is, whenever the child sees your teeth they always freeze in place and just stares. At this point no longer crying from fear but still freezes up and stares at you like a deer in headlights, you could not tell if they are getting used to your presence or if they had ran out of tears to cry... Either way you assumed it was progress. Seeing the interactions between 2b and the child warmed your heart, they always eager to help 2b with his work or help put bandaids on hank when he gets mildly injured. They even see sanford,deimos, and hank as their uncles now, such as deimos giving them piggy back rides, sanford drawing with them, hell even hank, the most well known killer in nevada, even had a soft spot for the child, letting them climb on him like a tree.
It was all so incredibly sweet and you was fine with it, even if you are just the big monster under the bed to them you are glad they are happy with a nice family.
....
Now its the present day, with you, doc, and the little one only present at the HQ. Looming over your loves shoulder to see him work on the tablet in his hands and the child is drawing with warn out crayons and ripped paper just a few feet away, the child had gotten more comfortable around you but not by much. They never got startled by you anymore but still stares at you like a deer in headlights when you speak to them, they do talk to you though and still address you as "monster" not as (mother or father or other) and you was alright with it. As long as they are getting better.....
"You are lost in your thoughts again" 2b spoke in the comfortable silence "sorry...just wondering some things" you replied with a sigh, standing up straight no longer looming over his shoulder "ill let you get back to work dear" you said before slowly approaching the child "little one?" You spoke in the same calm tone as before,they looked up at you with the same look as before "are you hungry? Do you need anything...?" You asked kindly, they nod their head looked away for a sec before looking back at your featureless face "noodles?" They asked "sure. Ill get you some" you unintentionally grinned with your spooky like teeth and walked out of the room.
As you was getting the food ready for your child the trio had returned from their raid, hank covered in blood with a large machine gun strapped to his back stomped past you and sanford stuck around with you, deimos is nowhere to be found "where is deimos?" You asked sanford "he picked something up for the kid, so he's looking for them" sanford replied, taking a seat on the kitchen table "good to know" you left the conversation at that taking the ramen noodles and walked back to 2bs office, stopping to see deimos walk out. He waves at you "oh hey s/o" he greets "kid wants to talk to you" he continued before walking past "alright?" Confused you walked inside.
2b is still sitting in his chair with his tablet in hand, nothing seemed to change on his part but the little one seemed very excited and happy. You walked over to the child and crouched down to give them their meal, they took the food and set it down and looked up at you happy. No longer full of fear or that wide eyes look they give "look monster look!" They exclaimed, voice sounding a little muffled showing fake vampire teeth in their mouth "i got sharp teeth like you!" They continued, the words almost hit your heart by how cute it is.
You let out a fake gasp, playing along with them "oh! So scary!" You pretend to be afraid, receiving a little giggle from them "rawr!" They screamed with their hands in front of them like they would attack you "oh no! If only someone came to help!" You continued to pretend and glance at 2b, who looks at you with a unamused look in his eyes "raaawwrrr" the child continued to play "aaahh! Doc! Please help!" You pleaded trying your best to hold back a laugh, with that 2b gets up and walks over and picks up the child "gotcha" 2b announced with a subtle grin under his mask "noooo! I wanna scare monster!" The little one laughed, followed by your chuckling. "Rawr!" The child attempted to scare his father "oh no! They got me!" 2b played along too, still holding the child in his arms. It was so uncharacteristic but so adorable from him, you laughed and grabbed them both in a hug "now i caught both of you" you grinned "aaah! Monster got us!!" The child laughed "whatever shall we do?" 2b chuckled.
The little one looked up at you and patted your empty face with their tiny hands "boo!" They yelled and you faked a yell, let them go, fell backwards, and pretended to be dead on the floor. The child laughed "i defeated the monster!" They praised themselves as 2b set them down with a grin, the child wandered over to you and pat your featureless face again "im big and scary just like monster" they smiled before you reached over to pat their head.
"You sure are little one..."

If This Was Love//
James Potter x gn! Reader
Word Count: 1.3k
Masterlist
A/N: Im sorry it's sort of short but I wrote something! I didnt think the day would ever come again tbh but here's some James content and feedback and reblogs are always appreciated!
Tumblr media
daffodil; a flower symbolizing rebirth or unrequited love
Key- (Y/n)=Your name (F/d)=Favorite Drink
Warnings: Unrequited Love, Mentions of liquids
Tumblr media
“James stop!” You shrieked, a laugh escaping past your lips as James Potter himself started chasing you around your backyard. You ran from him as fast as you could, running out of breath quickly from all the laughter. That couldn’t defeat him though because soon enough James caught up with you with his cup of water still in hand and he ended up dumping it all over you.
“Gotcha’ love,” He said with a smirk and a slightly breathless laugh escaped past his lips as you yelped in the surprise of the cold water raining down on you. Shaking yourself off, making sure to splash some water on him you raised your fingers playfully and his eyes widened before he ran off faster than anyone you know.
“I know where you’re ticklish, Potter!” You shouted to your boyfriend as he ran as far and as fast as he could. He looked back and when he realized how close you were getting to him his eyes widened and he quickly headed toward your patio and when he got to the platform he looked at you with a triumphant smile.
“This is the safe zone, as long as I’m in here you can’t tickle me.” He put his hand on his hips and strutted around before blowing you a kiss which you laughed at.
“Oh come on, at least give me an actual kiss before I accept my defeat,” Laughing, you put your hands up in surrender before letting them fall to your sides, trying to gain his trust. If anyone else was looking at you they would see the mischievous shimmer in your eye and would most likely be afraid.
But James? Your dear James? He was like an oblivious puppy and you knew that he would fall for your so-called defeat. As James gave you one final suspicious look he stepped down from the patio and pulled you in close.
As he lifted your chin so your eyes could meet you could see the love in his eyes and you almost — keyword almost — felt bad for what you were about to do next. As he pulled you in for a slow and gentle kiss you wrapped his arms around his waist and immediately attacked him with your fingers.
He quickly pulled away and burst out laughing, squirming at the sensation at his sides. Although you still felt a little bad, nothing could stop the evil smile from making its way onto your face as you saw him bending down to control his breath.
You saw him raise your hands in a stop motion and you pulled back, slowly backing away in a defensive matter. Running to the porch you stood, proud that you could get away, and sat down in your chair. Pouring yourself something to drink you watched as James finally caught his breath and soon enough he joined you, sitting in the seat across from you.
“I gotta admit, I should’ve seen that coming,” He breathed out, pouring himself his own drink. You just smiled innocently at him and continued to drink your (f/d). When you both finished, the Gryffindor across from you grabbed your chair and scooted it so you sat right next to him.
“And what are you doing,” You asked, making eye contact with him.
“If you really want to know, I’m kissing my wonderful partner,” He pulled you in close and you suddenly became more aware of your surroundings. You could feel the breeze from the warm summer air and you could hear the rustle of the trees brushing together. You saw all the different colored specks in his hazel eyes and suddenly you saw darkness as you closed your eyes when he pulled you in for a soft and gentle kiss.
That’s almost always how your kisses went, you never knew what James felt in those moments but you seemed to become hyper-aware of everything around you.
“(Y/n), (Y/n),” Sirius called your name from the spot next to you and you seemed to snap out of your daydream that had never even existed in the first place. At first, you were staring at James and Lily dancing in their small backyard but those two were long gone and now you were staring at Dorcas and Marlene dancing and laughing with each other in the same spot.
“You seemed to be deep in thought and I thought you might’ve needed a distraction, would you care for a dance?” Sirius offered his hand out to you and you looked at it before shaking your head and pushing his hand back toward him.
“Don’t worry about me, go dance with your own beloved,” You said with a teasing smile. Sirius playfully rolled his eyes at you before pointing his thumb over to Remus where he was chatting it up with some old lady.
“As you can see, he has better things to do,” Sirius said sarcastically and you let out a short laugh before he offered his hand out to you again. “Come on, just one dance.”
You looked at his hand reluctantly before finally accepting it and standing out of your seat. As soon as you were up he started to drag you to the dance floor where he put his arms around you like you were about to ballroom dance.
“I know you were thinking about James,” He said to you quietly once you started dancing.
“How did you-”
“I could see it in your eyes darling,” He looked at you with a look that you couldn’t decipher and you looked down, biting your lip, deciding his shoes looked far more interesting.
“Where are the bride and groom anyway?” You looked up and he looked behind you with a sorrowful look on his face. When you turned you could see them smiling and leaning in for a kiss but before their lips touched you looked back at Sirius and saw he was staring at you with a look of pity.
“I think we’ve had more than one dance,” you whispered, stepping back slowly before going back to your table. You were happy for Lily and James, but seeing your best friend and knowing that he would only ever be your best friend and nothing more was like an arrow to the heart.
You were so caught up in your thoughts that you didn’t even see James approach you and you jumped in surprise when he put his hand on your shoulder.
“Whoah there, sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you but I wanted to ask if you could possibly give a speech, as my best friend you know?” You felt the arrow twist and dig deeper into your heart at his words but you gave him a soft smile instead of saying anything.
“Of course,” At your response, he pulled you up into a quick tight hug of gratitude and left back to his table quickly. Feeling tears well up in your eyes you blinked them away and sat down to take a sip of your drink.
Walking upon the makeshift stage moments later, you tapped your glass lightly until you got the attention of everyone in the room and you were suddenly hyper-aware of your surroundings. Some people were still murmuring and you could almost feel the breeze that had yet to come on that wonderful night. What stood out to you was Lily and James staring at you intently with big smiles of their own, waiting for you to start.
“I’d like to start with congratulations to the bride and groom-” You spoke and as you recited the rest of your speech you could feel the flowers wilting and hear the beautiful sorrow from the crickets’ songs. He might not be yours in a romantic way but knowing that you’d always have him by your side made you feel slightly better.

i wanna talk a little bit about the shitty comments ive gotten over on tiktok because ive gotten my fair share and theres not really a wider message other than "black people are traumatized constantly for the crime of existing" and because this often feels like a thankless task but thats in part because i dont talk about the bad parts at all and people mistakenly think everyone is as lovely and as willing to learn as they are. make no mistake i absolutely love those of you who are grateful for the work i do but many people like, personally hate me for the work i do.
a classic is the guy who tried to convince me that wyclef jean is a pop producer as opposed to a dancehall producer brought onto pop songs to make them more dancehall, and also tried to convince me that poly styrene didnt ever talk about race or being black, and then followed that up with just. straight up inaccurate racist dogwhistling. he was like "blacks commit most of the crimes" which is patently false and we literally were not talking about crime. he just. brought that into the convo for no reason.
theres the guy whos entire argument was "you maybe made a slight error kinda and youre just saying inflammatory stuff out of context" despite the fact that a good portion of my page is dedicated to adding the fucking context. and then ended it with a death threat asking me how much cyanide itd take to poison me and my neighbours.
then theres the most recent asshole, a british imperialist who found a video where i said we (the english caribbean) want our money back before arguing that 1) england didnt take any money from us and they established our country so we should be grateful and 2) after i explained that they kidnapped us he responded with the misrepresentation that we werent kidnapped and were sold by other africans which for starters, slavery in africa was not chattel slavery and furthermore, after they realised what chattel slavery was, they stopped trading with europeans. and then they kidnapped us. which there are multiple accounts of. like he just didnt know shit about the transatlantic slave trade and was just repeating a gotcha style fun fact and that one made me so damn mad because we have to learn so much about their shit for brains country and they dont even learn what they did to us.
lets also throw in the racial gaslighting ive experienced from 21/p fans, some of which youve seen but which also happens on tiktok and instagram, even on videos i only commented in agreement of. some highlights include being told reverse racism is real (excellent company) and also what is still the funniest thing i have ever seen, someone telling me they were the first to speak out during the protests only for their example to be them posting a black square on insta. the jokes write themselves.
also the response to me saying anything negative about anyone ever is a rumour constantly used to discourage black alt kids in the scene having anyone to look up to despite the fact that its not true and actively damages the person involved and there are plenty people in the scene who have done worse than that and yet we havent held them to account. literally just to ruin my day. not even bc they care about her, just cuz they think itll hurt.
im sharing these just to kinda illuminate the way being openly black is discouraged, which is why when you get the opportunity, you should encourage it. not just righteous anger, but innocent joy too. it may not be for you, but you are a member of this community, and sharing black joy is the best way to make sure its seen by the people who need it. note: black joy is not only black people being happy, but also black people being happy while being black. talking about and enjoying black culture and black identity and black beauty and blackness. it may not be for you, but why not signal boost? being in the minority means its harder for things to spread. help us find each other.
anyway. just wanted to share. these things happen, and i think its unhealthy to pretend they dont hurt too.

Shanghai and Truth
So i just watched the Shanghai special. And since my “watch party”—my best friend and one of my sisters—are unavailable next week due to having holiday plans we went ahead and watched one episode of season 4.
Shanghai thoughts:
Honestly i liked New York more? There wasn’t snt enough angst even with Chat getting vaporized. I mean i knew that much would happen—how could it not?
On the other hand her face when he died was nice. “LB loves, adores, and is protective of her silly kitty.”
Fei is super cool and gorgeous. That being said there were times where she sounded like something out of cheesy kung fu movie “WITH THE KUNG FU MY FATHER TAUGHT ME!”
The renlings are adorable and very interesting i hope we see more of them later on
Hawk moth getting vaporized “Oh no! Its the CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS!!!”
Her fond little smile and “sweet kitty” comment when she got Chat Noir’s message as well as her hug when he got revived was great
I have a ton of salt regarding Marinette and her actions in this special but ill save that for last
Truth thoughts:
The AMOUNT OF ANGUISH I FEEL FOR LUKA. Poor baby. I totally get the feeling of “im not a priority to this person” and the disappointment that comes along with such a realization
Mari seems to be struggling with her new priorities and the KWAMIS ARE NOT HELPING
Im sorry does Tikki have a bunch of little hats??? THATS SO FUCKING CUTE I CANNOT
“What is that liquid leaking from her eyes” okay i get you guys are basically quarantined FOR ETERNITY and your worse than Rapunzel and Adrien put together but theres a FUCKING LIMIT
A sentimonster and an akuma at the same time is actually pretty interesting.
Kitty pushing LB into the water so she doesnt spill her secret to all her friends and her boyfriend made me soft. Good simp kitty
Shadowmoth’s outfit is ridiculous and he’s so freaking serious about it i laughed my head off ahahaha
Jagged is their dad? Jagged is their dad??? Okay what? Wasnt that supposed to be a crack theory wth?? Altho this explains why their mom was so beefy with Jagged in Desperada. Damn Jagged did you at least pay child support?
Again—Mari seems to be having some trouble adjusting to her new schedule and priorities which is understandable. Given what we saw in Gamer 2.0 she was already overwhelmed and overworked so trying to fit being the guardian and having a boyfriend in there on top of all that WOULD be difficult. Impossible even. STILL. That didnt make it any less painful to watch Luka get his heart broken over her inability to be there for him due to her superhero responsibilities. Its not as if she can walk away from all that so really breaking up with him was the best thing she could do. Best for her and best for Luka.
Also she like kitty’s humor? Really? Wondeful~ (i get it was kinda a “gotcha” scene but im taking it)
One more time: everything below is salt and may not be of interest to people who just want to enjoy the show. Also im coming in late to this special and Truth since i decided to go in blind to all this, so a lot of people may have already ranted about all the same stuff im about to. Im still being out of tags so im out of the loop. In any case ignore the read more link below if youre not feeling up to venting.
Shanghai salt:
MARINETTE PLS. Do you not see how happy your parents are that you’re showing an interest in your cultural heritage? And how readily they offer up a ton of dough just so you can pursue said interest? And your just going for Adrien? When you could just wait for him to come back and take a proper vacay to China with your parents when they have the time. PLEASE.
She knows Adrien’s “shoe size” now WHY do i feel like thats one of their sneaky jokes???😒😒😒
Marinette youre way too trusting of strangers
Fei told Marinette, a stranger, way too much as well
THE MISSED MARICHAT OPPORTUNITIES
Fucking Gabriel promising to meet his kid in the city and not following through then getting all concerned after he made it dangerous for him FUCK YOU GABRIEL

idk if we're allowed to make conversation from this but i just wanna add from like, as someone who literally cant be myself because my parents dont "believe" other genders don't exist like... the reason its sensitive is because its like, when you tell someone to their face that, even though they've been tortured in their own mind for years for how much they dont fit into what they've been set into for society, their feelings are invalidated because you dont think it's real... it stings. It's very hard to explain this to people who have always been comfortable with their gender their whole life because it's something you have to feel to know exactly what it means.
The reason people snap isnt because its a matter of differing opinion. It's because telling someone you dont believe outside of the gender binary denies the existence of people who are there and also forces people into places they physically and mentally cannot fit in because their brains are not made that way. The feeling isn't really... "i dont like these attributes, i think more like this," it's literally your brain fighting against you and telling you that somethings not right. I know for me growing up, id have a panic attack when we had "girls vs boys" activities because i didnt know what side to pick and i eventually just refused to participate. I didn't know anything about genders outside of the binary at that point. I thought there were only two options and i was just insane for feeling disgusted when called a she. I had excitement when called a he. Genuine excitement. To the point where people thought i was weird and avoided me in a tiny class of 10 students, you know, when there's limited options. Leaving me pretty much alone.
I attributed words to myself like "tomboy" or "crossdresser" because i had nothing else at the time. But i knew something was wrong my whole life.
Also, i should mention, when i say kid. I mean elementary school. Even in preschool once I shouted "i want to be a boy" and the teacher dragged me aside and screamed at me for saying such a thing and to never say it again. That literally made me suffer in silence for 5 years.
It literally took me until my 20s to feel comfortable with myself for once because i was surrounded by people telling me i was crazy, wrong, and everything i felt was just fake. I'm still hidden away from most people in my real life because I'm absolutely terrified.
It's not really a matter of believing in it or not. It's a matter of whether or not you have sympathy for other's feelings... but the problem is, no one ever explains that, because we've all been so broken and beaten down enough, many people killed or nearly killed, just for being who we are, that it's either fight or flight.
It's not forcing opinions. It's a beg for help.
Or, at least, that's my experience. I'm sure others are different. But i know there's a certain mutual feeling between everyone whose gone through realizing they dont fit the gender they were assigned at birth.
Ahhhh, yeah, I gotcha dude
To be honest, I'm not really sure what to say to add onto/in response to that, but I did read all of it, and I appreciate you wanting to go into a little more detail and explain it to me like you did
Because my gender isn't anything I've really ever been bothered by or thought about too much, I can only somewhat understand what you're saying, but I don't think I'll ever truly be able to completely understand it, to its fullest extent
Regardless of that, I'm more than willing to at least try to grasp it all as best I can. It's not fair that anyone who identifies as a gender other than the one they were biologically born as (or doesn't feel that they really aren't any one gender in particular) has to go through as much as they do. It's not fair that anyone who's attracted to the same gender, multiple genders, or no genders at all need to go through as much as they do, either
I'm someone who believes in expressing love and acceptance toward others, rather than anything negative. I just want everyone to be happy and to get a chance to do the things that bring them the most joy or make them feel the most at peace

The Night before Christmas - TaG Style
Virgil leaned back against a storm felled palm tree and strummed his fingers across an acoustic guitar, lazily working his way through various cords and stringing together little random ditties as the fire snapped and hissed away merrily in front of him. 
Just a little warm up and something to do with his hands while he waited for Scott to make his way back down to the beach. The light played off the fine blonde wood of the guitar, warmed the smooth contours and reflected back off the mother of pearl inlaid fingerboards and chrome frets on the expertly crafted neck.  
This was one of Scott’s pride and joys and it didn’t see the light of day often.  Usually tuck away in its satin line case in his room but for nights like tonight. Special nights where the family came together to celebrate one of the only holidays that they could together.   
Yes, the world at large was still going around and there would always be some disaster or another for them to get involved with.  For tonight though this family ritual was one that they were determined to do everything within their power to make happen. To enjoy and participate in. They deserved it for all they did for everyone else.  One night out of the year to be a family without the pressures of the legacy their father had left with them.  
Besides, the GDF could pick up the slack for a change. 
Now if the rest of his family, mainly Scott who had up and puffed to deal with a call that apparently needed to be dealt with now… on Christmas Eve..could unplug themselves and get their butts back down here so they could actually start the relaxing part of the evening. 
A soft chuckle beside him drew Virgil’s attention away from his frustrations and he turned to look down at the crown of rich, ebony hair resting against his arm.  
“What?”  He asked, nudging Kayo with his elbow.
She turned her face,  the glow of the burning wood dancing around in her smiling expression. “You.”  She answered simply and leaned up to place a kiss on the tip of his nose.  
“Me?” 
“Yes, you.”  She turned back to the blaze and resumed her nestled position at his side. Her head tipped on his broad shoulders and one hand draped over his raised knee,  fingers idle playing with the sand between his thighs.
Virgil humphed and she chuckled again giving his leg a squeeze. “It just drives me nuts sometimes.  Like seriously, it’s one night a year.”
“Patience, hun.  Everyone is on the island and before you know it, you will be sipping hot chocolate and choking down Grandma’s burnt offerings.”
Virgil just grunted in response and continued to sturm away. Idly playing a tune that he had composed just for Kayo the year previously, though he had to make adjustments as the piece had been intended for his  baby grand Bösendorfer up on the second floor of the villa.
They sat companionably, enjoying the crackle of the dried wood and breathing in the heady scent of burning pine and eucalyptus boughs that had been brought in from the mainland for just this occasion.  An indulgence and an expense that they took great care in every year. 
Virgil would fly out in Two with an empty pod when time allowed between call outs and fill it up with a couple cords of wood from a local arborist they were familiar with.   
Ted Mccaffrey was on old family acquaintance  who had helped selectively clear sections of the island where the villa and facilities now stood. 
He was a stout, old codger but he knew his stuff and he was always delighted to help the boys out each year with their little family tradition.  Stockpiling the wood over the course of twelve months just for them to use where he would otherwise have just tossed it on in the chipper for the local farmers to purchase for livestock bedding.  
The Tracy’s; ever the generous lot,  always offered to pay him handsomely for the trouble but the old coot refused every year.  Always waving the offered bill fold of money away and saying in his gruff way that the wood was a small price to pay for all the good they did the world. 
And every year Virgil would come home,  Two full of the piny sweet scent of mint and camphor and the local news would report about some charity or organization having received an ample donation of funds from an anonymous source.
The act of offering the money had turned into a sort of annual tradition in itself.   Virgil knew that Mr Mccaffrey would refuse the money just like Mr Mccaffrey knew that Virgil would offer it.   Some years,  the old, grey haired man would even recommend a place or two that required a bit of a financial boost but the exchange of offering and refusal always took place. 
“You should play more often.” Kayo comment softly interrupting his train of thought and the cadence of it made Virgil wonder if she was drifting off to sleep.  “I like listening to you.” 
He huffed out a snort and shook his head even though she couldn’t see it.  “I barely get enough time at my piano as it is. Besides, there are other things on the island I would rather pour my focus into.”  
He buried his nose into the crown of her hair, breathed in her rich scent and let it infuse his being with jasmine before brushing her with a kiss.  He could hear the sleepy smile in her voice as she sighed and snuggled in closer to him.  
“Love you too.” She whispered. 
“Yuck, get a room.”  Came a petulant remark from the dark followed by a cultured, femine laugh. 
“Gordon Tracy, be nice.”  Lady Penelope Crighton-Ward admonished as the pair stepped into the circle of light cast by the fire, her hand tucked into the crook of Gordon’s elbow.   
Gordon smile was wide, bright and teasing “I can’t help myself.  The way these two are if I don’t say anything we are liable to get front row seats to one heck of a show.”
“Oh, hush now.”  Her head shaking Penny picked her way around the fire and took a seat on a plaid picnic blanket.  “You act as if you weren’t just doing the same thing by the tide pool.”
Virgil could see Gordon’s face going red despite the limited lighting and he laughed. “Little Brother,  you will never learn.”   
“Learn what?” Came another comment as Alan materialized out of nowhere which resulted in making Gordon nearly jump out of his skin.   
“Oh, nothing,  Just Gordon being..well, Gordon.”  Virgil answered with a shrug. 
“So brain dead?  Gotcha.”  Alan dodged the swatting hand aimed at the back of his head sending popcorn flying. 
Gordon snagged the bowl before too much more of the salty snack could be lost and skipped out of the reach of the youngest Tracy with a laugh.   Jogging around to the other side of the fire and flopping himself down beside Penny,  sand flying everywhere in his exuberance.
Penny tutted at the display and bushed sand from her pressed slacks.   “Really, Gordon..” 
Gordon handed the bowl to her by way of apology and she plucked up a few fluffy kernels and dimuraly popped them between her kiss reddened lips. 
“Where’s the space case and our fearless leader?”  Alan asked, taking up his own seat by the fire and pulling a bag of M&M’s out of his pocket.  The rustling of which roused Kayo from her snooze with eager eyes tracking the sound.  
Virgil nodded his head towards the house. “Call to the board, should be down in a minute.  The Bagel is…” 
“Right here.”  John said and ruffled Alan’s hair is passing before stealing an M&M.  “Venus just set and I didnt want to miss it. It’s so clear tonight.” 
“Can take the astro-nut out of the space station..”  Alan mumbled as he waved away John’s thieving fingers.   
And so they gathered, one by one taking up seats around the roaring blaze and laughing at stupid things, chatting and reminising about old times and new.  Pausing occasionally lost in thought,  gazes distant at somber moments of remembrance.  
Eventually Scott managed to join them followed by Grandma and Brains bearing mugs, a large thermos and snacks.  He took up his guitar as the elder patriarch passed out cups brimming with  hot chocolate and they all grew quiet, the sparking of sap and the lull of the ocean waves filling the void.  Quiet, content and together.  
One spot was left vacant and as they all sat in quiet repose, their eyes would glance over only to skitter away.  A stump of a tree that had been relegated for only one person, sat baren of its occupant.  Too strong was the emotion to linger on it for long, the wound of it still too fresh even after all this time. 
Shaking his head, Virgil turned from his own introspection and pulled his gaze back to those that were here.  His brothers,  Grandmother, friends and Kayo at his side, he really should be looking at all they still had not what they lacked.  
Kayo put a supportive hand on his arm and gave him a squeeze.  She always could read him like a book and she knew exactly where his mind had just come back from. 
Virgil cleared his throat instantly drawing the attention of all the others gathered.  
On the spot now he grew nervous but the admiration and love that beamed out of Kayo’s  supportive face edged him on and with a signal to his brother, he straightened his spine. 
The first few cords his brother played where soft. The sweet tone of the expertly played strings balanced and sustained as Scott’s fingers moved along the struts. Building an intro for Virgil with the dulcet presence of each plucked note.
 Gathering his breath, Virgil wet his lips and right on cue started to sing, the notes complimenting the guitar. Slow and melodious at first and as the lyrical complexity grew with each line so to did his strength and pitch. Climbing and reaching higher until a brother joined in and then another.  All of them adding their own unique voice and harmonizing with each other as the song unfolded.   
It was a song their mother had loved to hear. One that Virgil had leaned at the tender age of nine as a Christmas present to her and one that he had asked his brothers to help with. Another tradition born and every year, on this very night they sang it.  Virgil’s voice leading the way, crescendoing and interweaving with the voices of his siblings.  
Their combined voices had changed much over the years, deepening and maturing but the magic they created was still there non the less.  Grandma would shed a tear at the apex of it like she did every time and by the end of it as the last note faded away into the stillness, a relief would settle over them all.   
Like a pressure valve had been released, the emotional strain that had been building up would ease off and dissipate with a few captured moments.  A homage to the mother they had lost so long ago which now acted to commemorate another as well.  A gift from five orphans that was all that they were able to give. 
Quiet descended and encompassed the gathered group. In the not so far distance, waves washed up the shore line. The fire snapped and popped and somewhere on the island a night creature called out, a lonely sound.   Between one breath and the next,  the sorrow of loose suddenly lifted, Alan sneezed, John groaned and Gordon laughed and the two eldest siblings grinned while their Grandmother dabbed at her eyes.  
Pushing up to his feet,   Virgil walked the short distance over to his Grandmother,  leant over and with the strong arms earned with hard work and dedication to his family wrapped her in a hug.   “Merry Christmas, Grandma.”  
She smiled up at him,  tears wavering in the blue gaze that had experienced too much sorrow for one lifetime but she hid it well behind the usual steely determination and wiliness befitting her age.  “It sounds more beautiful every year.  Thank you, Virgil.”
She was thanking him for more than just the song, and the dewiness in her eyes and the tremble of her bottom lip spoke it loud and clear. 
 The lump in his throat prevented an answer so he hugged her a bit harder. His emotional quota for the night reached.  Any more and he was liable to get messy and that was something he would prefer to do behind closed doors.
A hand on his shoulder had him loosening up and he pulled away, only to be dragged into another hug. The distinct aftershave a give away to who it was.. And then there was another and another hug followed that.  Until the whole family had embraced ending with Kayo once more tucked into his side. 
“So we going to get this party started?”  He spoke up, eager to shift the mood on to lighter things.  
He looked down at Kayo’s beautiful face as she slipped an arm around his waist and his world brightened just a tad bit more.  
“Ya, at this rate it will be the new year and we will have to pack all this stuff away again.”  She commented flicking a glance towards the house and everything Gordon had spent the last week setting up.   “Would be a real shame to let it all go to waste.”
“Hey, not my fault Scott is as slow as a snail on land.”  Gordon piped up and popcorn went sailing as he tossed a handful at his big brother.   “I was ready hours ago.” 
“Okay, okay”  Scott groused and flicked a kernel out of his hair. “I get it, I get it. Blame the Board of Directors, they wouldn’t let me off the comms before the American Market came back up online.”
Virgil reached over Kayo, signalled Gordon for the popcorn bowl and grabbed a handful.  Turning to Scott he took aim and fired. 
He laughed at the scowl on Scott’s face but he knew there was no heat behind it as his brother fought back a smile of his own and tossed some popcorn back.  
Sally tutted from her spot and sipped her hot chocolate, shaking her head at the antics of her boys.  “Now boys..” She admonished in a bored tone. “Don’t waste the food.”  
And so started the food fight… popcorn went flying, marshmallows pinged off heads,  M&M’s got lost down shirts which lead to an interesting game of hide and seek. Laughter filled the beach and merriment abound as hands tickled and people fought for breathe.  
Panting and wiping tears from their eyes they flopped back down on the ground in a heap of limbs and a sea of food.  It was going to be fun cleaning up the beach in the morning that was for sure.  
 “Oh,”  Gordon jumped up and they all turned,  curiosity evident on their faces. Rooting around in his pocket, he pulled out a small remote and waved it at the others.  “I almost forgot the best part.”
Holding the little controller up,  he pointed it towards the villa and grinned like a loon. “Okay, I’ve been working hard on this so I need some fanfare.. A drum roll..a countdown. Something.”
He bobbed about on his feet like he was about to rocket off into space in his excitement. Well pleased with himself and wanted his family to join in on the energy that was vibrating out of him.
“Gordon…” An audible sigh came from Scott but the look of eagerness on the squid’s face made him cave.  “Fine… on the count of five.”
Alan started beating out a fast rat-a-tat on his lap,   Gordon burst into a really bad rendition of Joy to the World and the others counted down each taking a number in turn. 
“5…” John, looking a bit displeased with the whole excessively loud affair, parked himself in the safety of his Grandmother’s shadow.  Hoping that if anything else went flying he would be safe from any potential fallout. 
“4…” Gordon, pausing his ear splitting caterwauling long enough to bellow out his favoured numeral.
Alan covered his ears and bumped Gordon with his hip, nearly sending the aquanaut head first into the sand.  “3..” 
“2..” Virgil grinned at the lot of them and laughed as Scott dropped his face into his hand  
“God, give me strength..”  Scott bemoaned.  “1..”
The villa erupted into a crazy assortment of brightly coloured lights and inflatable paraphernalia from a massive twelve foot Santa to a three foot Frosty. There was even a mini yellow Stingray floating in the pool being ridden by an elf in iR blues
The palm trees were decked out from top to bottom all around the pool deck,  red and green flood lights, shining up at their towering fronds through the foliage of large, variegated dieffenbachia and the spikey strands of yuccas that dotted the well tended gardens.   
The pool deck itself was bracketed on all sides with twinkling white sprigs of lights that sprung up artfully from the flower beds.
Dangling, plastic icicles flashed in an array of RGB colours all along the roof line and balcony in a merry dance from one end to the other.
And in the center of it all, showcased behind the thick, shatterproof glass of the villa,  adorned and trimmed to within an inch of its life,  the family Christmas tree.   Gifts piled around its base and all topped off with bright, golden star. 
“Wow…” Someone whispered through the hush that had fallen over them all. A sentiment shared heartily by them all. 
“Last one in the lagoon gets to put this all away after New Years.”  Gordon shouted, dashing off into the darkness.  His snowman printed hawaiian shirt fluttering to the ground in his wake. 
“Heck no!”  Came a squeal from Alan as he raced up to his feet and tripping, dashed off after his sibling. “I am so not getting screwed with clean up again.” 
John stuck out a foot sending the young Astronaut face first into the sand as he got up with much more grace and civility before walking off after Gordon as if he his baby brother wasn’t spitting out a mouthful of beach.  
Scott just sighed and pushed up to his feet, kicking off his shoes as he looked over at Virgil through the fire light. “You coming, V? Or is it your turn this year.”
Virgil gave Kayo a squeeze and pulled his shirt over his head, not bothering with the buttons.  “Technically I think its mine turn, but..”  He grinned and approached his older brother.
Scott eyed Virgil suspiciously,  the bear had a certain look on his face that he didn’t altogether trust.  “Oh, don’t you dare.”  He warned,  hands coming up to ward off the family tank.  “I’m your older brother and I command you.. Don’t even think it..” 
Virgil just chuckled before bracing and launching himself at Scott, sending the pair of them crashing to the ground. 
“Boys”  Came the rather bored tone from their Grandmother as the scramble to get back to their feet ensued and like a bunch of giggling children they tore off into the night. 
Kayo just laughed and leaning over gave the older woman a hug.   “Merry Christmas, Grandma. “
“Merry Christmas, Tanusha. Go keep those boys out of trouble will you.  My tired old, bones can’t keep up with them.”
“Oh, I’m sure you could.” Kayo winked and motioning to Penny to join her as she headed off towards the laughter and splashes coming from down the beach. 
Grandma sat contentedly, a smile on her face, a warm drink in her hand and listened to the chaos.  Five brothers; so different and yet so alike in so many ways.  An adopted sister; accepted, loved and most likely soon to be added to the family in a different way and friends. One, a genus with a heart of gold and the other a British aristocrat with a fierce loyalty to a family that had welcomed her with open arms.   
Gathered together to celebrate family and togetherness for one solitary night under the big expanse of star filled sky on an island all their own.

The second the doorbell rings, you hide away your surprise, sock-sliding to the door in excitement. You open the door, displaying the young man holding some sunflowers in hand, which was a little unexpected.
He grins once meeting eyes with you, satisfied with your response. He holds out the bundle of bright yellow flowers to you, “I had time to visit the shop to greet your employee. You’re right, she’s super sweet… What are you waiting for? It’s yours Blossom.”
Tilting the flowers, you accept it into your arms, smiling down at the fresh scent, bubbling with joy as you hold his hand and tug him inside. A yelp comes out of his mouth at the sudden move which you found incredibly cute.
“I love the flowers so much. Thanks.” You thank, soon pointing to the coat hanger. “Sorry I rushed you inside, you can remove your coat and shoes while I put these in a vase.”
And the two of you part for a few seconds before sitting back down on the carpet and Seokmin looks at his tattoo on his arm, before looking back at you.
“I have to get used to seeing you with that tattoo on you.” Chuckles Seokmin. “You’re going to regret it.”
You too, look at your bicep, showing a similar sunflower tattoo you’ve seen before, almost identical. You can still imagines Seokmin’s bewildered face when you requested for another matching tattoo (of course, it was a tattooist’s nightmare).
“Not too sure about that. I don’t feel regret at all quite frankly.”
“That’s what they all say…” The male side comments, throwing a dirty look at you before he laughs, joining with your sound. “So! What’s this surprise you have for me?”
“Yes, the surprise!” You clap happily, holding Seokmin’s hands and letting his palms cover his eyes. “You have to keep them shut tight, okay?”
You’re convinced by the other’s nod, leaving him promptly before waddling and fetching your surprise, waddling back by the sound of your footsteps. Sitting, Seokmin hears you press a kiss on whatever you’ve gotten him before you place the object on his lap carefully.
“Now open your eyes.”
Peeling his hands away, he opens his eyes one by one, taking small peeps. But with one peep, his eyes fly open, lips spreading into a wide, unbelievable smile.
“A dog — You got a pup?!”
“I got you a pup Seok’.”
His smile fails to fade away, picking up the australian shepherd and cradling it in his arms instantly, cooing at the size. As expected, he begins to talk to the animal and touches their noses together.
“Hello! I’m Seokmin, it’s very nice to meet you!”
You can’t contain your laugher and so you laugh, adoring the scene play out. Seokmin puts the puppy down, but she sticks by his side as the male magically whips out some treats. Before you would ask, he already answered your question with the dog walking rounds he did this morning, which made perfectly strange sense.
“She really likes you, hm?”
“It’s the food,” Seokmin states, “and my undying charm.”
“Oh please…”
“But…” Seokmin begins to frown, gently petting her head, “I can’t keep her in the dorm.”
“That’s okay! She’ll be staying with me, so we can take a shared responsibility.”
“’Shared responsibi’- Oh we’re at that stage? Oh my god, we’re at that stage aren’t we—“
“Stage? What stage?”
“This!” He picks up the puppy to his lap, raising her arms as she curiously looks up at his chin. “This is like — Having to look after a child stage.”
You stare, speechless, suddenly shuffling to the man and trapping his head into your chest, hugging him but avoiding to crush the puppy. “Maybe it is. I think we can handle it. Besides, my grandparents need a guardian to look after the house since I’m growing up.”
“Gotcha- Hey I thought you didn’t like dogs!”
Releasing him from the hug, you stay on your knees as your finger nuzzles the puppy’s chin. “Well maybe they aren’t so bad… However I get jumpy when she gets excited.”
“Adorable.”
“Me or the dog?”
“You. As well as this beauty!” He holds her up and you meet face to face with your puppy, her pink tongue poking out. When he settles her back on his lap, Seokmin gulps, staring at you. “Blossom, if we’re at this stage, then does it mean…”
He can’t finish his sentence, but you know exactly what he’s saying. Getting down to eye level, you look at him too. ‘He’s looking at my lips’ you think.
“I’m fine with it if you are.”
“Okay… I think — Yeah, I can do this… How do we do this?”
“Just do whatever,” You chuckle, talking in the same confused tone he has as he carefully leans in.
Softly, your lips meet — fully this time — and like last time, you smile into the kiss. There was some awkwardness as you both didn’t know what to do, so you stayed the way you were until you part the kiss to catch your breath.
“Screwed that up, didn’t I?” Seokmin laughs.
“We can always try again.” You suggest, pulling him in for another kiss, more natural than the first but the innocence remaining. Your stomach kept turning inside and out — was this what it was like to get butterflies?
Partway into the kiss, Seokmin begins to giggle, and you obviously follow, giggling before ghosting pecks around his lips as you cup his face.
It was going perfectly well until you were stopped by high-pitched yaps, directing your attention to your puppy panting enthusiastically. You and the male smile at the sight as she jumps into your lap and you cup her face too. “Hi baby, you okay?” The pup is pressed a kiss on the head by you — Seokmin thinks he might die from such a scene.
But it finally got to his attention — “What’s her name?”
“Oh right-“ Looking back at him, you awkwardly smile. “I’m not that good with names… And I thought it was fair for us to choose a name since it’s a shared duty now…”
As you and the puppy both look at Seokmin with the identical wide eyes (again, he thinks he could die peacefully right there and then), he points a finger on his chin to storm ideas.
“Spring. She suits that name.”
Peeking at Spring, your lips curl. “Yeah. It’s perfect.”
Seokmin draws nearer to Spring and clicks his tongue before feeding her treats. “Who’s a good girl? You are!” The pup barks in joy, jumping in your arms and Seokmin looks up, stretching himself so he can plant a kiss at your jaw before Spring grabs his attention again.
Everything felt like a dream. Seokmin, Spring, the brightness of the room and joy lingering. It was insane to call this your reality; you never wanted it to come to a stop.
“I guess Spring gives you another excuse to see me now.”
“Can’t my excuse be how hopelessly I’m in love with you?”

Wednesday PM
Kuroo is calling...
“Hello?”
“Hey, so! I forgot to tell you when you came by to pick up Tobio earlier, but a little bird told me an embarrassing secret of yours...”
(muffled laughter)
“Who do I have to kill?”
“So violent!”
“I asked a question: Who do I have to kill?”
“Really, Tsukki? You’re gonna murder your own son? Your only offspring? The apple—I mean—blueberry of your eye? The –”
“Okay, I get your point, please stop talking.”
(sigh)
“What did Tobio say now?”
“Oh, nothing much... just that you reeeally liked me before we started dating.”
“I can hear you grinning over a verbal conversation. How is that possible?”
“Aw, baaabe! You didn’t deny it! You had a crush on me!”
“We’re already dating.”
“Still!”
“Dad, why is Kuroo-san making weird noises?”
“Because he’s weird.”
“Oh, Tobio’s there? Hi, Tobio!”
“Hi, Kuroo-san.”
“He just finished his glass of milk before bed so he came to say good night.
“Yeah.”
“That’s good, kid! Keep drinking milk and maybe you’ll be as tall as me one day! Anyway, Tsukki, don’t change the subject—you’re very cute and totally had a crush on me.”
“He really did.”
“Tobio!”
“See!”
“I think that’s enough from both of you now. Good night, Kuroo.”
“‘Night, babe! You too, Tobio! Have sweet dreams about me!”
(grumbling)
“I said good night!”
“Muah!”
“Good night, Kuroo-san.”

Tsukki <3 is calling...
“Hello? Tsukki?”
“Kuroo-san?”
“... Tobio? Is that you?”
“Yes.”
“Hey, buddy! What’s up? Why are you on your dad’s phone?”
“Dad’s sick.”
“Oh no! Is he in bed right now?”
“Yes. He’s asleep.”
“That’s good. He needs plenty of rest.”
“...”
“Hey, uh, Tobio, how did you call me? Are you learning how to read in school now?”
“Yeah, but also your picture is on Dad’s phone.”
“Really, huh! Do you remember which one? Can you check for me?”
(rustling)
“Uhhh, the one where you’re showing off your arm.”
(muffled)
“That just made my entire day, oh my god.”
“Kuroo-san? I can’t hear you because you’re talking too fast.”
“Oh, sorry, Tobio! Just got distracted. Anyway, was there a reason you called me?”
“Dad’s sick.”
“Yes, you told me, kiddo. Is Akiteru-san taking care of him?”
“Nuh-uh. Aki-jiichan had work. He said he was gonna get someone but since no one’s here yet I took Dad’s phone and called you.”
“Oh. OH! You need me to come over, Tobio?”
“Yes, please. I don’t know how to heat up my lunch.”
“I’m on my way, kiddo. I’ll check on your dad too, okay?”
“Okay. See you, Kuroo-san!”
“Bye, Tobio!”

(11:59) Gotcha! (12:01) Thank you Kuroo-kun!!
Sunday PM
Tsukki <3 is calling...
“Hello? Tsukki, already calling me? I just left your place –”
“Kuroo-san?”
“Oh, Tobio! Hey, kid, what’s up?”
“Thank you for coming.”
“Oh, it was no problem! I’m glad I could help!”
“Dad forgot to say thank you earlier so I’m calling to tell you.”
“Tobio!”
(rustling)
“Tobio? You still there?”
“Sorry about that. Tobio took my phone.”
“It’s fine. You got a smart kid there.”
“I’ve got a kid who’s out to make my life hell is what I got.”
“You love him though!”
“Wouldn’t trade him for the world. Still, I did not tell him to tell you I said ‘thank you’.”
“Great! So that means you can tell me yourself now!”
“Seriously, I cannot believe I can hear you grinning on a phone conversation. How are you doing that?”
“Doesn’t matter! Now tell me ‘thank you’!”
“No.”
“Please, Tsukki!”
“Dad, you should tell him ‘thank you’.”
“Listen to Tobio!”
“Quit it, both of you.”
(sigh)
“Um... thanks, I guess, Kuroo.”
“Laying it real thick there, Tsukki. It almost sounded like you weren’t having your teeth pulled.”
“You’re the one who asked!”
“You did, Kuroo-san.”
(muffled)
“Tobio, can you play in your room please? Dad’s gotta have a conversation with Kuroo-san.”
“Okay.”
(rustling)
“A ‘conversation’, huh? You’re voice still sounds too rough to be talking, you know.”
“I have tea with me right now, I’ll be fine.”
“Good! And you’re welcome, by the way, I was happy to help. You can call me next time too, you know? Instead of asking Akiteru to do it.”
“I told you I thought Yamaguchi was coming over. I didn’t know nii-san asked for you instead.”
“But he did and now you can too! So just, you know, ask.”
“... I don’t like depending on people.”
“I know, Tsukki, but I swear you and Tobio can count on me, okay?”
“You can’t promise that.”
“I can: I promise I’ll be there for you and Tobio. There, just did it.”
“You can’t guarantee that.”
“Maybe not, but I’m gonna try my hardest anyway.”
“... I couldn’t stop you even if I wanted, huh?”
“No.”
“Please stop grinning—I can still hear you.”
“Wanna see it?”
(8:01) *image attached*
“That is the derpiest look I’ve ever seen, oh my god.”
“Glad you like it!”
“...”
“...”
(sigh)
“I. I guess I’ll count on you... sometimes... or whatever.”
“TSUKKIIIII!”
“Don’t yell when you’re on the phone, jeez.”
“I love you!! You can totally count on me!! Tobio too!!”
“Oh god, what have I done? Whatever, it’s late and I have to put Tobio to bed still. Good night, Kuroo-san.”
“‘Night, babe!”
“‘Night... I love you too.”
“TSUUUUKKIIIIIIIII – !!!”

augh i keep forgetting to mention.....like a few weeks ago i saw the vid also on twitter where charlie day was talking about how, i forget the names of the science guys, but how the fan reaction to interpreting them as a couple made him decide to play his character as if that were canon b/c he thought it was such a good interpretation and offered good depth/context......i doubt i’ll be able to see pacrim2 but seeing as how it would never have had that on the surface level anyways and nobodys said anything about it being canon and the way he was talking abt it made it seem like it was all in his own acting choices and not like existing in the script.....but still
for me ive been like.....periodically thinking about it this whole time b/c its like....so wild to see someone talk about the fan response / specifically address fans creations like fic/art n shit in a positive manner & to also like....speak of a noncanon gay coupling with a total lack of derision or even as though its something less serious than any other theories or analysis......... i am still just like so refreshed lol i didnt realize that a 40 sec interview segment would feel so significant that im still thinking on it weeks later
i mean especially as the difference in concepts of what cishet dude fans do as being something you can make into a movie w steven spielburg, whereas, as someone pointed out, a woman writing a lengthy self-insert reference-heavy series of crossovers.......gets a different reaction...........well anyways thats a whole other tangent
like things are better now for getting canon gay characters but thats only relative, its still not Good, despite straight ppl thinking homophobia is over so why should there be a romcom about positive experiences for a gay teen in THEIR movie theaters.......like its still wild to hear that even an actors personal take on his own performance is “yeah i was playing a gay character w a gay love interest” like. obviously we’re still never getting non-subtext material in the Big Movies. woo
plus im still remembering.....god....from like half a decade ago some panel abt sp/n where someone stands up and like even just begins to start a question about what-if canon bisexuality or smthing and is like just at once met w this scorn from like everyone else & cut off & even online ppl were like acting as if she was out of line or someone attacking ppl like some gotcha question or being inappropriate for asking ppl to even momentarily acknowledge even the concept of nonstraightness....plus on a show notorious for queerbaiting its fanbase so yknow another tangent there lord
and like im also still like thinking on this whole thing a little while ago where i’d had a handful of creators n shit who i followed on twitter & i just ended up like one by one unfollowing ppl or whatever coz everyone was talking about how bad it could be to get fan reactions or their investment in non-canon ideas. and like i realize that yeah everyone is aware that any huge general group of ppl is gonna have a lot of shit elements yet also Not All Fans and everything, and i also dont feel as if they shouldntve been talking about how they felt / what they thought about things or whatever, but like. i just increasingly freely block/unfollow/mute ppl or whatever just if i want to vs if i feel like its a good enough / serious reason....and it just honestly was like reading for weeks a was was essentially exclusive negative takes on fans not liking something......like i just was like yknow what just the way this is all being presented to me as so uniformly negative and me from the other side of the glass as its sprinkled across my tl like..........this just makes me feel bad so im just gonna unfollow a dozen or so ppl
like it made me feel bad back then and i still feel bad about it now, writing about how it felt bad....
also seeing as back in the day (like say ten yrs ago idk) when this stuff was even more universally looked down on, im still like part of me always tentative about stuff on my own blog if its not canon...........like forgetting that i dont have to have an element of shame even though who would give a shit..........like the concept of stuff reaching actors / creators and them being like “oh word actually thats sick” is still so foreign and especially w that twitter thing just adding to the assumption that the best you can hope for is to think it’d be found Tolerable or Only Mildly Abrasive And Irritating...psygh
anyways tldr im still thinking abt how nice it was to hear half a minute of charlie day talk seriously about considering fan’s takes on “this is / should be gay” as interesting and legitimate and presenting the whole concept respectfully...........

directionereg replied to your post “when louis made it clear he was straight and El was his true love, not...”
Hi .. just saw that post and sorry for hijack..I am a larrie so I know ur response ll be agressive .. But can u e plain to me why Louis when he was asked about Larry he said "anyone can believe what they want" if he really wanna end Larry forever , why he didnt take this chance if he is suffering from larries that much !! Dont tell me he is afraid to lose fans cuz there is notging wrong if he said "its not true , its not real" not "keep shipping us but respect the beard
@directionereg, I don’t mind responding to larries, but I’ve spoken to you before and seen you talk to antis before and in fact usually YOU very quickly are the one who becomes aggressive. It’s also rarely productive, which I can already tell this won’t be because you’re taking a quote in which Louis straight out said “it’s not true” and “it’s disrespectful” and characterized it as a wacky conspiracy theory - one of several such quotes - and are fixating on the part where he shrugs off the fans who have only gotten more awful and nightmarish every time he’s tried to tell them the truth. 
He knows Larries will believe what they want, he’s trying to appeal to new fans, he’s not sending you a coded message and he never has.
Louis choosing to say “yeah, they’re conspiracy theorists, there’s people out there who will believe anything” instead of some ridiculous extreme thing like “all larries should rot in hell” is supposed to be some gotcha? Some mystery? If he said something else, you’d just find a way to make excuses to ignore that too. He has a son! The state of California has him on official documents as a father! You’re just looking for excuses to hide from the truth, and this is a very sad, weak one.
