Streamer!Scaramouche AU

i feel like he’d be one of the biggest streamers on his platform- probably one of those that everyone has heard of even if they’re not into watching livestreams and all

but between those who do know who he is, they either love him or hate him. no in-between

it’s kind of understandable because his attitude is not suited/can be handled by anyone

he’s brutally honest even when his opinion may be seen as rude (to him he’s just saying the truth so he doesn’t mind if people get offended)

of course he doesn’t try to be rude on purpose but i mean it as in he’ll say what he thinks

imagine he’s playing a game and he doesn’t like a certain mechanic, or he isn’t enjoying the story;

he won’t say the game is bad but he’ll openly say he doesn’t like it/it’s not for him. it makes him seem strict but tbh he’s not that hard to please and even when he complains about one or two things he still enjoys the game

he usually gives every game a chance even when from what he’s seen it doesn’t sound like a game he’ll like. if he turns out to be right he just won’t play it again and if he’s wrong he’s a little too prideful to admit he spoke a little too fast but in the end he will admit the game is good or he’s having fun

probably the kind that just knows so much about all games and all the creators and all the game-making engines and is up to date with every single news of everything video-game + streaming-related,,, how does he do it, i don’t know,,,,

and also since he’s so popular he probably gets packages from game developers with limited edition stuff or merch from different games soooo often

and he placed the ones from his favorite games in his setup room and it looks INCREDIBLE he has so much stuff

he did a room tour stream once talking about all he has, where he got everything, from his monitor to every complement of his computer and like,,,,, the cost of his setup,,,,,,, some people already know they’ll never be able to afford that in their entire life

and he already had a great setup before he even became big as a streamer so people can already guess he’s fairly rich

also i feel like he would have started his career as a streamer without using a facecam and even like that, he already managed to get very popular because of his professional commentary of game dynamics/playability + you can tell that he’s passionate about this and also he’s very funny without even trying??

he says some stuff so casually that he doesn’t realise how funny it is

probs showed his face after he hit a very important milestone

he never considered showing his face that important but he understood why people would want to see his reactions when playing games (even tho he warned them he’s not the most expressive/dramatique person in the world and they know by now) and would want to put a face to the person who entertains them so much with his streams

and when he does show his face people go absolutely cRAZY BECAUSE he is crazy good looking (if you don’t think he’s good looking i’m sorry for your eyesight. jk i’m sorry in general i just really love him)

some people who didn’t watch his streams will even check them out because of that but literally if you come for the visuals only you won’t stay for long because as i said not anyone can handle his personality

if he sees people being superficial about him too much instead of paying attention to what’s happening in the stream, he will immediately turn the subs mode on in the chat (if he didn’t have it on already)

being rude, being disrespectful/saying discriminating stuff or anything of that sort won’t be tolerated and anyone who does it will be banned instantly

without even interrupting what he was saying before he saw the comment, he’ll just type the ban to whoever said that and go on

and his mods do the exact same. they are just as strict as him

if it ever got too much of course he wouldn’t be afraid to speak up about it and tell his chat to stop that behaviour or else, as they should already know, he won’t be afraid of banning them even if they’ve been subscribed for months or years

ANYWAYS

why do i feel like he has a super organised chat— as in instead of spamming 5 emotes per comment they all send just one and it looks so tidy and perfect

literally other streamers would be jealous of how not-messy his chat is even when he has thousands and thousands and thousands of viewers all the time

also i have this idea that maybe any of his fans would have designed him as a genshin character (which would be the design of the scaramouche we know (?))

and the little pop-ups (i don’t know the name in english rIP) thingies that show up to notify when someone subscribed or donated would be lil chibi art of that design

it’d be really cool

and since i also doodled what a stream of his could look like (i’ll show it in the future when i’m done!!) i thought that way it’d be more recognisable that the streamer is scaramouche

99% of the people who have seen him irl found him too intimidating to go ask him for a picture or tell him anything

he’s not a huge fan of taking pictures anyway + is more on the introverted/reserved side but he wouldn’t mind if someone went up to him (if he’s not busy with something) to tell him something or say they enjoy his streams

i feel like in a couple occasions he would have played a game with some subscribers and he’d like to tease them speaking with his usual tone and face (in case they’re watching the stream as they talk) so they think he’s serious

“did you watch my 12 hour stream the other day?” -scaramouche

“ah,,,, i-” -the sub

“think well of what you’re going to answer.” -scaramouche

“i-i couldn’t watch the whole thing,,,” -the sub

“ah, is that so…?” -scaramouche

he’ll pretend to sound disappointed but at one point he just can’t help but smirk and hold in a chuckle before telling them he’s not serious

(he literally doesn’t know how the hell he survived that stream himself because he isn’t one to stream for that long)

i feel like deep inside people who know him would know he wouldn’t say such things seriously/wouldn’t be disappointed in anyone for not watching every single minute of his streams or not even all his streams

but he says all that so seriously that it’s,,, intimidating and they’re lowkey like “god but what if he’s not joking-”

he’d play games with the other streamers sometimes but i feel like most of the type he’d play more single-player games

it’d be so funny if he plays among us with others and for example one of those others it’s childe

both of them would always be suspecting of the other first/bickering, especially scaramouche

and if one game turns out they’re both the impostors… people would know right away

like, if any of them tried to defend the other, everyone else would be like “!?! what is this? scaramouche and childe defending each other? scary”

they’d vote one of them (maybe scaramouche) out because they started guessing + saying proof of how both of them could be the impostors (but the biggest proof is them not coming for each other’s throats sNKJFNGKJS)

scaramouche would have to resist the urge to S C R E A M

needless to say he doesn’t like when he has to be impostor with childe

and unfortunately for him, fate makes it happen considerably often

i feel like at least one time scaramouche would kill next to childe and then report it and literally blame childe

and childe would be like ?!?!?!?!?? WHAT- NO- (struggles bc his brain instinct is to say ‘it was you!’ but they’re both the impostors??? how-)

and then they’d eject childe,,, and then people wouldn’t suspect of scaramouche for most of the game because ? why would he- blame his partner---

well he did it with no regrets and at the end when they all found out they found it very funny (except for childe, but even he ended up laughing in the end because what a mean strategy sjkfhdsgkj)

i have this feeling that even though they bicker so much and for any strangers it’d seem like they hate each other, when scaramouche does play online games, many times it’d be with childe?

ik they aren’t supposed to get along but for the sake of it being a modern au i don’t want bad vibes between any of the characters pls-

and everyone enjoys their dynamic and those streams always get a ton of viewers sjfhdsgkj and i’m sure both their chats would be good friends (most likely one’s fans would also be a fan of the other too)

very very very rarely (because he prefers just playing and talking while playing) he’d do streams where he doesn’t play anything but just talks with the chat, watches videos that they send him, looks at the fanart they make, just talks about games,,,,

it’d be super chill and the perfect streams for people to be doing homework/work/play games/draw or do basically anything while they listen to his stream in the background

he’d also be answering some of people’s questions about him or about his favorite games, or if he’s playing this new game that came out earlier this week,,,

“will you play ‘it takes two’ with childe?” -someone in the chat

“absolutely not. i won’t play a co-op game with him”

not even 5 days later, tweet from childe saying “streaming in 30 minutes! Scaramouche and I will be playing It Takes Two on my ch---”

anyways this will be all!! (for now?) i obviously knew genshin before this but, yesterday i could finally start playing it myself! so i feel like if not now, soon i will also write headcanons of him playing genshin! i don’t take requests but if you guys have any ideas or anything you want to say about this AU, send me an ask!! i’d love to talk about this and about genshin in general!

also, i was very inspired to write this by @baeshijima ! so thank you very much to her for her wonderful streamer AUs and if anyone reading this hasn’t read hers already, go check them out!! they’re amazing!!

Some Dimension 20 main season class meetups and how they might go:

Barbarians: I mean, they try, but Amethar ditches after five minutes to go hang out with the Fighters (with Jet, really), and Gorgug (the greatest wizard of this age) gets pulled into the Wizard meeting by Adaine five minutes later.

Bards: Misty and Rowan get along like two cats in the same house, but when they’re not lowkey bitching at each other, are very complimentary about Fabian’s sheet dancing. They have excellent eyeliner tips, which Fabian pockets for later use, and bicker sharply over whose choreography advice is better. (Fig, of course, has completely skipped the Bard meetup)

Clerics: Kristen is A Youth which, ok, Kingston is trying his best to understand these young people, he can make the effort. All this philosophy that kids are apparently into nowadays isn’t that much more complicated than the kind of books that Pete talks about. He does have some great advice about relationships and not taking people for granted. A very calm and civilized meeting with absolutely no running around or acrobatics.

Druids: Can disembodied spirits still scam a drink out of a bar? Gotta be worth a try, right? Not like Kug’s got anything else to do right now.

Fighters: After wiggling out of Amethar’s twenty minute long hug, Jet has been solidly bugging Theo to teach her more killing blows. Fabian pokes his head in at one point while Misty and Rowan are arguing about ballet steps, sees Theo very reluctantly demonstrating a couple of killing blows while Jet watches avidly and Amethar heckles -”Come on, Theo, I’ve seen you take off a guy’s head before!”- and decides that maybe he’ll stick with the dance crowd after all.

Monks: There are multiple emergency sirens going off, half the police force/city guards are on high alert, two suspects last seen leaping around the rooftops and beating up people (admittedly assholes) on the streets. Eyewitness reports say that there’s a lady in leopard print, and some weird blue guy with a staff?

Paladins: Cody suggested playing Street Fighter, and is surprised but delighted at how quickly Ricky is picking it up. Ricky is finding it surprisingly therapeutic to beat up Cody’s pixel guy, and thinks he should probably feel more guilty about this, but it’s a video game, right? It isn’t like he actually wants to hit Cody in real life or anything. Definitely not.

Rangers: Liam’s on his own for all of a minute before Ruby pulls him into the Rogue meeting. Family has to stick together.

Rogues: To the uninitiated, it looks like a completely empty room. To those in the know, the world’s most dangerous and ill-advised game of Assassins is currently in its fifth hour. No one has stealthed out of hiding in at least three. Liam vanished into his pocket rope dimension an hour ago, Ruby’s melted into the shadows, and Riz has been underneath the floorboards since the start of the game and is just waiting for the right creak of a footstep.

Sorcerers: Pete and Saccharina are having the time of their lives. Look, someone else who understands about what it’s like to see the magic, the possibility, to feel it running under your skin, bending to your thoughts? Pete is fascinated by the idea of candy people -”Look, I have a peppermint tooth!”- and Saccharina is fascinated by the strange type of Dreaming magic that Pete wields. Luna settles on Cinnamon’s nose while he dozes and it’s too cute.

Warlocks: Lapin and Iga are in the middle of commiserating over creaking joints and the necessity of deception when using magic, when Fig saunters in, having never once stepped foot inside the Bard meeting. Well alright, she’s young and loud and energetic, but she’s got a rebellious spirit, and it’s good to see young people embrace their heritage. Three hours later, Fig is cooing over Misiek and snacking on borscht bites while Iga teaches her tarot and Lapin monologues about the utility of a mysterious and enigmatic smile.

Wizards: Adaine is currently in a deep conversation with Esther about the merits of using a bat as an arcane focus, while Ayda tries to figure out what spells she can teach Gorgug that won’t involve him having to read a single word of wizardry. Gorgug is not entirely sure he should be here -sure, the Barbarian meetup didn’t really work out, but shouldn’t he at least check if there are other Artificers?- but hey, Adaine says Artificers are close enough to Wizards, and that’s good enough for him.

+Bonus: Sofia Lee, Chosen One of the Order of the Concrete Fist, runs into Gilear Faeth, the Chosen One. He has half a carton of yogurt spilled on his shirt, is limping (probably because of the tire tracks over his shoes) and is wearing a paint bucket (that evidently was not completely empty) over his head for some reason. He slips on a bacon, egg and cheese bagel that was smushed into the sidewalk and lands flat on his face. Miraculously, the paint bucket does not fall off. Sofia decides not to ask.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #the unsleeping city #a crown of candy #d20 spoilers #long post #since i included ayda and esther with the wizards i thought about having calroy with the rogues only it's just his dead body on the floor #the moment he steps foot in the door liam ices him and ruby stabs him and riz unloads his gun until he's more swiss cheese than cake

akane aoi + reader | say what ?

| description ! | your current relationship with akane gets a little out of hand (which may or may not be good?) (yes, there’s a question mark).

prev | next

You flip to a page, one to a theory about a mysterious creature who could control the time around the halls of Kamome Gakuen by their own hands and by their own choice. There’s even a sketch of what it could be... and it looked nothing like the boy standing in front of you now. Your finger points to a space, wordlessly wanting him to sign it if your pleading face was anything to go by.

Akane stares at you blankly, then to the picture book in your hands. The expression on his face screams confusion because of your actions but you were insistent.

Being an enthusiast for all sorts of supernaturals and apparitions that had crossed your path (which may or may not have led to various dangerous incidents), you stood your ground as firmly as you possibly could.

Even if you wanted to melt at the sight of this new Akane Aoi.

Fuck it, you probably already melted when he saved you mere minutes ago.

Sucking in a deep breath, you continued to ask another question, briefly ignoring the fact that Akane didn’t bother to sign. Maybe he had no pen?? What kind of apparition has a pen in his pocket?? Wait would they--

“C-Can you help me investigate more s-supernaturals?”

‘OH NO.’ You looked at the ground as if it was the one who was making your cheeks redden to the max. ‘I STUTTERED TOO MUCH DHBFSH--’

“Interesting offer but….” Your head shot up to meet his smile, it didn’t meet his eyes but it made you look like a tomato nonetheless. A shudder goes down your spine at the way he stares right through you. “I don’t think I can handle another second seeing any one of them.”

…?

“W-WHY?? SUPERNATURALS ARE AMAZING CREATURES !!” You cry out, unable to hold back.

“Wha…? What makes you say that?”

There’s a hint of a spark happening between you two, one filled with tension and the start of a very very long argument between the justification of supernaturals.

Not that you intended to speak up and start a fight about it, you had only wanted to bring up a few points. Which he had a rebuttal for every time. Perhaps this is why you liked this smartass, but never did you think that you would be on the opposing side of the debate.

“Aoi-kun, I’m pretty sure not all of them are bad..!”

“You might want to see a certain seventh somewhere--.”

“YOU KNOW THE SEVENTH MYSTERY ???”

Secretly, your foot hurt like actual hell, having been pushed to the ground rather harshly after almost being struck by a truck. But how could you let this chance pass by? You were finally talking to the boy you simped for and you have the chance to meet more supernaturals and apparitions!

Granted, you almost died and you were both arguing about the goodness of supernaturals and apparitions, BUT STILL—!!

“I don’t think he appreciates seeing someone limp into his stall.”

Akane motions over to your foot. The foot that you were trying so desperately to hide but alas, the awkwardness stood out.

“Um… I-I’ll go to the clinic then! After that, you can take me to see Hanako-san…!”

Two steps forward and you were already wobbling. You were determined to get to the clinic without any hesitation if it meant finding out more of these supernaturals that always invaded your mind, if you weren’t already thinking about Akane.

Being the gentleman that he was forced to be by one strict Teru Minamoto, he had, as much as he didn’t want to offer because he was salty, offered you a, “Do you want me to take you to clinic?” which you may have replied with a small nod, the flush on your cheeks rising significantly so.

Significantly so may have been a slight understatement.

Your cheeks—no, your entire face raged with a pink blush once Akane put his hand on yours, telling you to lean on him if your legs hurt too much. The way he held your hand calmly without hesitation made it seem like he experienced this sort of thing before. Or maybe he spent his time eagerly researching this for Aoi’s sake. ‘Okay, yeah, it’s definitely the second one.’ You sink your head low in dismay.

Thankfully, the clinic wasn’t too far off since the incident took place right at the exit of the school. Making quick work into getting to the clinic, also avoiding the people who looked at you two quietly bickering about another something related to your slowly developing debate about supernaturals and all that. Or perhaps they looked at you two and wondered why two simps were spending time with each other. What if they thought you were dating him (finally) and Akane had given up on Aoi--

You scoff, immediately letting the fleeting thought away. Akane raised an eyebrow at your action but you simply looked away, not acknowledging the other thoughts that crowded your mind.

“Can you open the door while—”

“Yeah, I think I can just…”

After a few minutes of trying to open the door leading to the clinic, and failing miserably, your prayers have finally been answered. By a fellow Student Council Member.

“Oh! (L/N)-san!” This girl is… the ‘Secretary’ of the Student Council, if the messy black hair, the dark red ribbon hanging loosely around the back, and the round glasses framing her small face was any indication. “What happened?”

“I tripped and fell on the sidewalk.” You explain, not delving into any of details because even if the guy you just had to like out of everyone else (seriously, why couldn’t you have liked Minamoto-senpai instead? It’d probably be so much easier) had a bunch of hatred for the ones you absolutely adored (and you still didn’t get why he hated all of them instead of merely hating the ones who pushed Aoi), you still didn’t want to cause any trouble for him.

The ‘Secretary’ looks at you two for a bit, a small knowing smirk gracing her lips, which she tried to hide with her hand but failed, and walked away. She also mentioned something about the ‘President’ dropping off some paperwork on his desk. You don’t know why Akane’s expression turned into a disgusted one but you didn’t want to pry on that.

Oh nono, you wanted to pry about something else.

Right after sitting down on the bed after the nurse had told you to do so, you began swinging your legs out of nervousness. And you regretted that a second later because the pain finally settled in. Akane had thrown an ‘are-you-kidding-me?’ look at you and you replied by rolling your eyes into oblivion. Not wanting the silence between you two to thicken (or maybe you should, you were literally on the verge of kicking your crush when he mentioned how annoying your beloved Mokke were), you somehow managed strike up a conversation.

“Say… what happened to that truck a while ago?” Gold star for not stuttering over there, champ.

Akane turns to look at you, lips screwed tight and eyes wide. Had he not noticed it? How his supernatural suit and tie and honestly aesthetically pleasing outfit went away and changed back to his normal uniform? How the truck had crashed into a pole instead of you? Considering the amount of shock graced his features, it’s safe to assume that you were correct. Seriously though, how could he not have noticed?

‘Maybehewasfocusingonyou—SHUT UP’

He’s silent, not willing to admit that he did not, in fact, notice the truck nor his outfit changing. You hear him mumble a few words under his breath, definitely not missing the ‘That bastard might actually kill me this time’ or the ‘If Ao-chan ever finds about this…’ but he stops when the doctor of the school clinic came in.

“So, (L/N)-san, what do we have here this time?” The doctor, Nito-san, asks for the third time this week (or was it the fourth…?). He kind of looked frustrated with you, which you brushed off with an awkward chuckle. You could have sworn you heard Akane stifle a laugh. “Did you fall from the stairs again?”

“Not today, haha…” ‘CNDSJFNDSFOSID’ You fumed, hands clenching into fists. Now you heard Akane actually having to hide his laughter, which resulted in you having to cover your face with your hands.

Oh, why did you have to come in like this Nito-san??? WHY???

As if God Himself heard you, you were blessed when Teru Minamoto poked his head in from outside the room’s door. Funnily enough, he did not have his usual smile and ^^ on his face. He just looked lowkey pissed, which was a first for you and for people inside the clinic.

“Aoi-kun, why don’t we have a chat outside?”

You glanced at Akane in concern, and your choice was right, he should be of concern right now. He looked like a man about to be executed.

“Y-Yeah…”

At this point, you might as well plan his funeral. Yes, Aoi is going to have to give a speech about him or he would haunt the school. ‘Wait isn’t he already haunting the school—’ You thought as Akane was pretty much dragged outside by Teru. ‘Oh, I didn’t get to ask him about Hanako-san!’ You frowned, slapping yourself on the face. Although, you probably shouldn’t be focusing on that as of now, since Nito-san looks... positively furious.

| end notes ! | i’m so sorry for the long wait !! and i’m really sorry if the update wasn’t as good as you’d thought it would be,, not that it was alr good to begin with :’>

Batfam OC Headcanons

These headcanons are all about my superfamily, who I've dubbed the Shadefam. I have post dedicated to their basic info, here. I'm posting this for fun and to invite others to make their own super family or OC family with far too many headcanon and random chapters for a book that'll never be written.

BTW when I say S1, S2, or S3 I'm referring to the certain seasons in Young Justice

Buck- trans ftm taken in by Faith at age 12 because his father isn’t able to properly take care of him. (His dad loves and accepts him, but is very broke and wants what’s best for his son)

Hope is taken in by her sister at age 8 in 2013 when their mother died

Buck dates Bart for a period of time before they mutually agree to break up, both lowkey being attached to other teammates at the time (Jaime and Tim)

Faith is bi and doing fine

Grace is lesbian and freaking disaster

Hope is ace and valid

Buck is trans/gay and perfect

Cody is ace/aro and chillin with his homies

Faith and Grace had a fling for a few months but broke up mutually

Grace has a butch lesbian girlfriend named Joana

They always go to pride and their hero atls hang different pride flags the night before July 1st around the city

Hope lowkey grew up without really registering gender and doesn’t say hello to new people, but asks for their preferred pronouns

Bart’s the closest person to Buck in the Outsiders, being the only person that knows about his true powers as well as the few that knows his birth name

Goes to Bart or Garfield when he has a nightmare at the headquarters

Bruce payed for Buck’s top surgery after S2

Keith is the only straight person in the Shadows

Lily is pan and loves her frogs

Lily really likes frogs and has a small tank for them in her apartment

Hope has one frog gifted to her from her favorite aunt

Cody is the only person allowed to cook in the Manor

Cuddle piles when the enter family is together at their secret hideout

Cody is the only one that owns an actual house and they use the basement as their “hideout”

Lots of “Are the Straights Okay?” moments when the group is people watching during stakeouts

Grace being a flirt to everyone

Hope knowing every curse word at age 9 because her sister can’t shut up

Lots of scolding because of profanity

Faith smacking people upside the head

Cody is Buck’s go to when he’s feeling dysphoria when he’s with the fam

Family nights every friday cause none of them got the most normal lives (Faith lost her parents young as did Cody, Grace wasn’t accepted by her family and lost her parents before even turning 20, Hope only had her parents for 8 years, Lily never had a father and her mother is a thief, Buck lost his mother young and left his father before age 13, and Keith lived mostly alone with a constantly working father. Plus they’re all heroes so I mean none of them are remotely normal)

Cody entered the Shadefam after S3 and doesn’t know that he was previously working with Jason for a period of time

Very confused brother reunion when Cody and Jason meet again

The pair of them both worked for Ra’s a Ghul at the same time in the S3

Lily gives Buck a frog plush that he holds after nightmares at the headquarters

Faith does daily calls to her children

Faith was raised by Bruce, how could she not take in a small child that looks like a mini her

Faith being a mom to everyone, even her brother at times

Faith: “Cody… why are you not wearing any socks?”

Cody: “Why would I be wearing socks?”

Faith: “Because the floor is freezing! Now go put on some damn socks so you don’t get a cold!”

Cody: “But-”

Faith: “Do not try me Cody North Miers.”

Cody: “Damn… the middle name.”

Cody trying to keep Lily and Grace from getting killed on the field

Faith trying to keep Lily and Grace from getting killed off the field

Faith moves in with Keith after her amputation because he has a first floor apartment and she can’t do stairs yet

Keith finds out about MJ and Faith finds out about Hunter after he sneaks back in from a patrol before the accident

Grace and Lily are chaotic a hell, pushing themselves as far as they can during training and mission

They are the two that get hurt the most often

Though Faith always has the worst injuries cause she’s a mama bear that will leap in front of her children

Cody will get pretty severe ones as well when he jumps in front of Faith

Cody: “Why the fuck do you keep jumping in front of them?!”

Faith: “I am mama bear bitch!”

Cody: “Well stop being mama bear cause you’re going to get yourself killed one day.”

Faith: “I can’t die bitch!”

Cody and Faith being responsible adults and the most mature of the group, to being bickering siblings at each other's throats

It always ends up shocking the rest of the fam as well as the Team and the Batfam

Cody: “Can you grab me a pop?”

Faith: “The hell is a pop?”

Cody: “You know a Coke or Sprite.”

Faith: “You mean a soda?”

Cody: “Yeah a pop.”

Faith: “It’s soda!”

Cody: “Pop!”

Faith: “SODA!”

Cody: “POP!”

Halo: “Are they fighting over what to call a drink?”

Buck: “Yeah…”

The Shadefam is sort of a faction of the Batfam

Buck ships Bartuardo and got Hope to agree with him after she jumped ship from Bluepulse

Bruce is lowkey protective of Buck (he loves his grandson)

Buck is Alfred’s favorite of the Shadefam children

Cody and Faith are his favorites of the adults

Faith insists they eat dinner at the table together before leaving early to go invent

Grace and Faith have coffee addictions

Hope is not allowed near caffeine, neither is Buck

Lily shows up at Grace’s and Faith’s separate apartments randomly

Faith was the shoulder Lily cried in after Jason death

Bruce accidentally introduced Buck as his grandson to a board of people when he stopped by Wayne Enterprise

Bruce: “This is Buck, my grandson. He’ll be sitting in today because his mother is busy.”

The news outlets had a field day trying to figure out which Wayne kid was his parents and the person that they knocked up or got knocked up by. Many settled on Faith getting knocked up by some random guy before realizing the math didn’t work.

One outlet found out that Buck was born female and called him a “she” in their coverage of it.

Bruce lost it.

Bruce: “I read your coverage of my grandson. I would like to kindly ask you to pull that story.”

Reporter: “But Wayne sir.”

Bruce: “You misgendered my grandson. So either print an apology or I will be suing.”

Bruce does not stand for misgendering

Keith and Faith child’s godmothers are Grace and Joana

Hope and Buck are practically their child’s older siblings

Lily is the child’s favorite auntie

Keith leaves after their child’s birth

Keith: “Someone needs to be here in case something happens to you.”

Faith: “Nothing’s going to happen to me, Love.”

Keith: “Can you guarantee that?”

Faith: “...”

Keith: “That’s what I thought.”

Faith: “I’m not leaving.”

Keith: “I know. And I don’t blame you. You were built for the hero’s life. I wasn’t.”

Faith: “I swear I’ll be careful. For you and for them.”

Both Hope and Buck move to the Outsiders and later Buck leads the Team, leaving the Shadows.

Faith: “The Team? Buck that’s great!”

Buck: “I thought you’d be a bit more… I don’t know feeling the mode about this.”

Faith: “Why? Cause my little hodgepodge of a team is losing a member?”

Buck: “Well yeah.”

Faith: “Buck. The Shadows were just a covert team for the East. Plus it’s not like I’m really losing you. You are my son after all.”

Buck: “I know. And I’ll never forget that… Mom.”

Lily moved in with Jason and the two of them focused more on Gotham, Lily becoming a true Bat.

Lily: “So I guess I’m a Bat now.”

Faith: “Yup.”

Lily: “No longer a Shade.”

Faith: “The Shades were created by a Bat and consisted of like four current Bat members. The Shades are like a stepping stone.”

Lily: “I guess. I’m still gonna miss family nights.”

Faith: “The Shadows might be decreasing in numbers, but that doesn’t mean we’re ending Shade family nights. Bring along Jason, I’m sure he’ll have a ton of fun.”

Lily: “Yeah surrounded by youngins! He’ll be ecstatic!”

Faith: “Well he does need to prepare.”

Lily: “How the fuck did you know!”

Faith: “Wait, what!”

And that’s how Faith learned Lily was pregnant

Grace leaves the hero world once she and Joana get married and she becomes a criminal prosecutor, sealing the fate of the Shadows

Faith: “So you’re giving it up then?”

Grace: “The hero's life is great and every Faith, but.”

Faith: “I know. It’s a lot.”

Grace: “I mean I never wanted to be a hero, I just wanted to put the bad guys away. That’s what I’m doing now. Plus Joana always frets over me after a mission, even if nothing bad happened.”

Faith: “That’s pretty reasonable. Keith tends to exaggerate the smallest cuts.”

Grace: “So you’re not upset that you’re losing another member?”

Faith: “The Shadows were just a covert team for smaller crimes. I always have my back up with the League.”

Grace: “So the Shadows are done now?”

Faith: “For the time being.”

Cody never left the team, but with only two members it became more of a partnership. They continued to work together, with them assisting the League, Team, and Bats whenever they were needed

Even after the team breaks up, they all gather up once a month and hang out for board games, movies, or a patrol around the city for old times sake.

The older members (Faith, Grace, and Keith) do a lot of reminiscing while the “kids” (Buck, Lily, and Hope) just goan and roll their eyes as Cody listens to the tales of his sister and her friends

Lily and Jason never planned on having any biological children, but they did plan on taking in a street kid. They ended up with one biological child and one street kid

Cody becomes the next Bruce Wayne, training and taking in kids that need a good home

Grace and Joana have three kids, two of which have Grace’s abilities

The entire Shade family is always invited to Bat family reunions. Damian was very confused by the massive amount of people that showed up after Bruce told him he only had a “few” siblings.

Damian: “Eight is not a few Father.”

Bruce: “You have seven siblings Damian. Buck is your nephew.”

Damian: “He’s nearly 16 years older than me.”

Bruce: “Yes but he’s Faith’s son.”

Damian: “Reigns is only seven years younger than Miers.”

Bruce: “He still calls her mom correct?”

Damian: “Yes.”

Bruce: “And he calls me Grandpa?”

Damian: “Yes.”

Bruce: “Then he is your nephew.”

Damian: “But Kyle also calls her mom.”

Bruce: “Your sister does it as a joke to annoy your oldest sister.”

Damian: “Kyle is the only blood sibling I have here. Why must I consider the rest of these people siblings?”

Bruce: “Because they are.”

Damian: “Well… seven is still not a small amount of people.”

Bruce: “With the amount of people here, seven is a few.”

Cody is a light sleeper, waking at the slightest sounds

Grace sleeps like the dead, freezing water and banging pots are the only thing that wake her

Keith can sleep through stuff if he’s in a deep sleep, but also wakes to small shifts in the bed when Faith has a nightmare

Faith is another light sleeper, though not as light as her brother

Lily can and will sleep through anything that doesn’t sound threatening, aka wakes only to gunshots and the scrapping of a blade in its sheath

Buck is a deep sleeper, though often wakes to nightmares

Hope sleeps a lot like her sister, though she’s easier to wake up

When Cody wakes up, he’s up. If he’s woken up, a perimeter check is needed before he goes to sleep. If he wakes up on his own, he still does a perimeter check before going about his day

Grace doesn’t fully wake up until she’s had her eggs and instant caramel coffee

Keith rises with the sun full of energy after seeing Faith sleeping beside him

Faith wakes up tired and a little sluggish, needing black coffee to really wake up in the morning

Lily lives in a permanent state of sluggishness during daylight hours, she draws her power through the moon

Buck is always a bit tired, with usual bursts of random energy

Hope wakes with the sun cause she herself is a ray of sun

Faith & Keith child

Valarie (biological)

Cody’s children

Conner (adopted)

Grace & Joana’ children

Derek (Grace’s biological)

Sophie (Grace’s biological)

Adrian (adopted)

Jason & Lily’s children

Charlie (street kid)

Jaden (biological)

Faith, Hope, and Grace are called the holy trinity as a joke

How Lily and Jason act

PDA constantly, it’s not huge things but it’s very clear that they are together

Nightmare comfort

Got together after Jason came back from the dead, working together as Red Hood and Scarlet Falcon

Were rivals of sorts before his death when Lily was still Misfortune. They fought a lot as Robin and Misfortune, though Faith refuses to let Jason take her in

Lily runs cold so she often wears Jason’s jacket

Faith gave both Lily and Jason the “if you hurt my sibling” lecture. Jason was terrified by it, while Lily shrugged it off

Faith: “You hurt my baby brother, I will hurt you tenfold. I will get a crowbar.”

Lily: “Reasonable.”

Faith: “If you hurt my baby sister, I will hurt you tenfold. I will get a crowbar.”

Jason: “Okay ma’am.”

Buck isn’t a meta but cursed

Hope gets killed in 2023 during the first mission that the team gets together after 2020

Shadefam split by 2020, with Keith, Hope, & Buck leaving in 2018, Grace leaving in 2019, and Lily leaving in 2020 with Faith moving from High Hills in 2019

Keith and Faith move after S3 in 2019 to Star City to man the Wayne Enterprise in the West and raise Valerie in a less crime-ridden area

Cody takes over protecting High Hills, taking on two wards

Grace and Joana move to a smaller town outside of New York so Grace couldn’t be dragged back into the Life

Lily lives with Jason in Gotham

Cody was almost taken by the Court of Owls to become a Talon (their mother’s death was a result of the Court) saved by the League of Shadows instead

When People Call Faith “Mom”

Cody, Grace, Dick, and Jason call her Mom as a joke or when she’s being to much of a mama bear

Grace: “Alright. Alright Mom. We’ll stop.”

Faith: “Don’t call me Mom Grace.”

Dick: “Alright… Mama Bear.”

Faith: “I will kill you Dick.”

Jason: “Oh don’t kill him Mum, he’s a good big brother.”

Faith: “-Jay.”

Cody: “Relax Mother. They’re just playing with you.”

Faith: “CODY!”

Lily does it as a joke most of the time, though often accidentally does it

Lily: “Jeez let up Faith I’m fine.”

Faith: “Fine? Lily, you nearly bled out an hour ago.”

Lily: “Yeah an hour a ago.”

Faith: “Sit the fuck back down you asshole.”

Lily: “Okay.”

Faith: “What were you thinking Lily? You could have been killed. You could have gotten Buck killed.”

Lily: “You quoting Lion King now?”

Faith: “Lily.”

Lily: “Sorry.”

Faith: “What were you planning, Lily? What if we couldn’t have gotten to you in time? What if Buck was in your place? What if we lost you?”

Lily: “I’m- I’m sorry Mom.”

Faith: “I know you- Did you just call me Mom?”

Lily: “Aaaa- no?”

Hope never means to call Faith Mom, but it does just kind of happen

Faith: “Time to get up, Hope. You got school in thirty minutes.”

Hope: “Mmmm.”

Faith: “Come on Hope.”

Hope: “I don’t wanna go Mom.”

Faith: “It’s only for seven hours, Hope.”

Hope: “Mmm. Fine.”

Faith: “Good. Be ready in ten please.”

Hope: “Alright M- Faith. I meant Faith… not Mom.”

Buck calls her Mom the most (besides her own daughter)

Faith: “Have fun sweety.”

Buck: “I will Mom.”

Faith: “You know I’m not old enough to be your mother.”

Buck: “I know Mom. And you know I don’t care.”

faith: “And neither do I in all honesty.”

Tim accidentally called her mom once, which her reflect response was “I’m too young to be your mother”

Faith: “Tim? What are you still doing up?”

Tim: “Working.”

Faith: “For how long?”

Tim: “... I’m on hour… 56?”

Faith: “Go to bed Tim.”

Tim: “But I just need 10 more hours to finish.”

Faith: “Nope. You’re going to bed.”

Tim: “Hey! Put me down!”

Faith: “No. Tim you are a growing boy who needs to sleep.”

Tim: “But I have to-”

Faith: “Sleep! You have to sleep.”

Tim: “Put me down Faith.”

Faith: “Alright.”

Tim: “No I’m not going to bed.”

Faith: “Yes. Yes, you are.”

Tim: “I don’t need you to tuck me in Faith. I’m a grown man.”

Faith: “You’re a seventeen-year-old boy, not a grown man. Now go to bed.”

Tim: “Mmm. Fine. Good night Mom.”

Faith: “I’m too young to be your mother.”

Tim: “...”

Faith: “Good night Timmy.”

Damian also did it by accident once (Jason never let him live it down)

Faith: “I’m fine guys. Just a bit banged up.”

Jason: “Just a bit?”

Dick: “Faith you were held captive for nearly three weeks.”

Tim: “We stayed up endless nights to get you back.”

Lily: “We got to you to find you with a punctured lung and a broken arm.”

Faith: “Yes. But I’m fine now.”

Bruce: “You’re off patrol for the next three weeks and I’ll make sure you get a week off from work.”

Faith: “I don’t need that Bruce. I’ll be fine going back to work and I doubt three weeks probation is needed.”

Damian: “You nearly died Mother!”

Everyone: “Mother?”

Faith: “...”

Tim: “Did you just call Faith Mother?”

Dick: “Well it certainly wasn’t a joke.”

Jason: “I think the demon needs a mommy figure.”

Damian: “Shut up Todd!”

Jason: “Demon misses his mommy!”

Damian: “I said SHUT UP!”

Faith: “Enough! Both of you! Damian get off your brother! Jason stop teasing your brother.”

Damian: “...”

Faith: “Thank you. Now. Damian I’m fine. I’ve been through far worse.”

Lily: “No you haven’t.”

Faith: “You do remember that I got into a car accident where I lost my leg, right?”

Lily: “... Right.”

Faith: “Now I’m going to go watch a movie cause I’ve been stuck in a wooden chair for a few weeks and I have a strange urge to watch Ratatouille.”

And that's it for now. I might make another post about these guys, maybe I won't, depends if people like this.

manager matchup #2 ♡

NOTE: these are NOT open! please do not send in matchup requests!

@desi-studys hello love! thank you so much for your support, and i’m sorry this took so long for me to get to! i hope you enjoy it, because i had a lot of fun with it. i remember i’ve done a matchup for you once before, but i actually decided to mix it up this time! i hope you like this!

that being said, on with the matchup!

school: aoba johsai year: 2nd

you got roped into the whole manager business by yahaba. you met him early on in your first year, and you became friendly acquaintances – but you wouldn’t necessarily consider you guys particularly close. so, you’re a little confused when he walks up to you one day, asking you if you’d like to be the manager of the volleyball team. it’s before class, and at the tail-end of your first year – which, honestly, makes it even more confusing.

you’re not quite sure why he’s asking you to be the manager. but, you do remember that you’d certainly stepped into the role of leader on that last group assignment the two of you were part of. maybe that was why? either way, you agreed. it might be fun, and seijoh’s one of the top schools in the prefecture, right?

you settle into the team almost astoundingly well; you hit it off with the second years easily, and your fellow first years are nice enough. you stepped into the role of manager quite naturally, and it genuinely became quite enjoyable. it became even more pleasant as you moved into your second years, and there were a new influx of first years on the team (even though you joked about the idea of oikawa being captain – you knew he was quite capable of it, but you didn’t want him to think he could get away with bragging).

about mid-way through your second year, you ask yahaba why he asked you to take on the role. he tells you, “yeah i asked you because i wanted our team to have a female manager and everyone else turned me down.” suffice to say you were ready to kill him--

your team ♡

✧ you know how we don’t talk about the fact that you’re 5’3 ½”? yeah, well, oikawa definitely does. doesn’t let you forget the fact that he’s exactly nine of inches taller than you. you insist that it’s really not that many, but he elects to ignore that fact.

✧ he flirted with you a ton when you first joined the team, thinking you were one of his fangirls (until iwa knocked some sense into him because look she’s going to be our manager for the next year and a half show some respect--)

✧ okay, but once you two become friends? obnoxiously loud. there’s no-one on the team who quite meets oikawa’s level of melodramatic flair, but you’re more than capable of handling it. he actually enjoys having someone around who can riff off his personality quite easily; it’s a different kind of fun, you know?

✧ he actually gets jealous when the team lets you off the hook for being so loud. he’s like “hey, you guys never cut me any slack!” to which the response is, “yeah, because you’re not a cute girl.” almost always followed up with, “but i am cute!”

✧ you two have,,, the chattiest friendship. you always find something to talk about, and the two of you can talk any topic to death. The rest of the team is impressed by just how much you two have to say on things; it’s a talent within itself.

✧ okay, so you’re into astronomy, and that’s close enough to aliens for oikawa. expect to be constantly bombarded with his alien conspiracy theories; he’s convinced that there’s life out there, and he tries to get you to go along with him by trying to tap into your knowledge base. iwaizumi begs you not to encourage him.

✧ have you seen that picture of him just going for it at karaoke? oh yeah. finding out that you enjoy singing meant that he started arranging a ton of karaoke nights. the reason? because he’s constantly trying to out-sing you. of course, it never works – the rest of the team is adamant about that – but oh boy, does he try.

✧ there’s a lot of snark traded between the two of you, and you’re always (playfully) bickering with one another. you’ve just got one of those friendships that’s constantly sarcastic, you know? and honestly, the rest of the team just likes watching oikawa get roasted from time to time lsdkj

✧ oh, he’d be so easy to scare. you’re constantly finding ways to frighten him because he’s definitely a scaredy cat. often tries to hide behind iwaizumi in an attempt to protect himself. it rarely works.

✧ but, on a sweeter note, you’re definitely the sort who’s always trying to look after him. you’re a mum friend, and oikawa has the tendency to be a human disaster (especially when he gets stuck in his own head and that spiral of insecurity). you’re rarely overt about it (mainly because he’ll insist that he’s fine), but you’ve always got an eye on him. just in case.

✧ he’s convinced he’s the best wingman on earth. he’s actually the worst – but we’ll get to that later. you’d constantly tell him that he was just making things worse, but he simply couldn’t be convinced that he was anything other than a stand-up friend. honestly, it’s a miracle things worked out as well as they did.

✧ truth be told, he’d developed some feelings for you, too. they’re weren’t very loud, but they were certainly present. but, he keeps them to himself, because he values his friendship with both you and iwa too much to interfere. for once in his life, he’s content with ‘losing’, if it means the two of you will be happy.

iwaizumi hajime

✧ your personalities contrast so well, you hear me? he’s such a,,, straight-forward, grounded person, and i that’s such a fun contrast against your full-out theatre kid energy.

✧ he’s a polite dude, so he wanted to make sure that you were okay and comfortable when you first joined as manager. that’s how you two ended up being pretty good friends, even in the early days! he does his best to make polite small talk (since you’re quiet at first), but honestly you end up getting quite close. he turns into your anchor in the team more or less on accident, but he’s happy to oblige.

✧ iwaizumi, even though he’s more lowkey himself, is more than fine with how loud you can be – he’s been close friends with oikawa for almost his entire life, after all. it’s a nice contrast, and it means you often fill the silence between the two of you. but, he’s a good listener, and he always finds something insightful to say.

✧ he’s pretty responsible, so he does his best to try and help you with your tendency to procrastinate. it doesn’t always work, but he checks in with you often to see if you’re doing your work. on that same note, he’s a godsend when it comes to dealing with the team – he might be the only other responsible person there, and he’s always lending you a hand with your managerial duties.

✧ he really appreciates how responsible you can be, and the fact that you’re willing to tell things as they are to the boys, while still looking after them. he thinks that’s invaluable, and just the sort of presence they need in their life.

✧ but, he’s endlessly entertained when you direct your sarcasm towards oikawa or one of the other third years. he likes that spunk; sure, you might be younger than them, but you can certainly hold your own, and they can certainly take it.

✧ okay, but iwaizumi’s very aware of when people aren’t looking after themselves (see: oikawa) so i think he’d be tuned in to when you were hit by seasonal depression, too. he’d research ways to help you out with it (and, of course, he’d check with you to make sure what’s actually helpful), and it’s just so earnest and thoughtful of him?

✧ you two are mum and dad of the team, without a doubt. that’s kind of a running joke amongst the team, although nobody actually says that to you guys. they learnt their lesson after iwaizumi sent oikawa a very icy glare one time (and, of course, followed up with the threat of a headbutt).

✧ but, the fact of the matter is that they’re not wrong. about half a year in, and there’s definitely something brewing between you and iwaizumi. he finds your presence comforting, and your personality is just very endearing to him. he finds you easy to be around, and he always catches himself smiling more whenever he’s with you. and come on, who isn’t at least a little attracted to iwa?

✧ your feelings for each other develop slowly, based in the sense of comfort you feel with each other, and how well you complement each other. and trust me, the team knows. that, plus your roles as parents of the team, means they’re big supporters of the two of you getting together. even though the two of you seem determined to keep your (obviously) blossoming feelings to yourselves.

✧ and oikawa, perceptive and sneaky as he is, gets you to accidentally confess to him (oikawa, that is). it’s all a blur, but you’re just hanging out, getting boba one afternoon, and the next thing you know oikawa is whooping to the sky, yelling “called it!” he has his suspicions about iwaizumi, but he knows that the boy’ll be obtuse. so, he’s like “okay, i’ve got a plan” (cue you groaning, because of course he does)

✧ fucking oikawa’s like “okay okay so i can’t get iwa to tell me about his feelings for you so we’re gonna drag them out of him” and you’re like “honest to god, what are you talking about?” and oikawa’s like “we’re gonna make him jealous”

✧ and you’re like “tooru this is the worst idea you’ve ever had. i literally don’t think it’s possible to get dumber than this. this is both cruel and stupid.” and oikawa’s like “it’ll be fine just jealous enough that he. you know. says something!” and you’re like no

✧ but oikawa’s a man with a one-track mind. over the next few practices, he makes an extra effort to flirt with you; brushing your hair out of your face, telling you that you “look cute today!”, and just being a general sleaze (and he does it so effortlessly that you kind of want to slap him in the face for it). and you, personally, want to d i e. and the rest of the team is honestly confused? because they’re like “weren’t we,,, weren’t we rooting for iwaizumi?” kindaichi in particular had a crisis of allegiance, poor boy.

✧ and poor iwa. poor iwa. he’s genuinely mad at himself for not telling oikawa the truth. and he actually starts overthinking things? which he never really does. and he gets mad at himself for feeling like maybe something was happening between you and him, when of course the reality was that you were interested in his best friend. after all, it always seems to pan out like this.

✧ so, the two of you are walking you home, as they usually do. it’s more tense than usual (mostly because you’re Anxious about oikawa’s tomfoolery, and because iwaizumi is Going Through it). but then oikawa’s like “gotta bounce iwa you walk her home yourself!” and iwa’s like “i’d rather die” in his head. you’re like “i’d rather die” in your head. you both know this is going to be an excruciatingly awkward walk. but, it’s dark, and gentleman that he is, iwa’s not going to see you walk home alone.

✧ and you’re right – it’s awkward as hell. and you’re completely silent for once and iwa can’t take it. he’s used to you chatting his ear off. so, he decides to just. instigate the conversation because he might as well get it over with.

✧ and he’s like “if you’re into oikawa, you should’ve just told me.” and you’re like “what—” and he takes a deep breath, knowing he could very well come to regret what he’s about to say, but he’s used to ignoring his own feelings; and he just can’t do that tonight. so, he goes, “i thought maybe something was happening between the two of us. i’m not mad about it, because it’s my fault for misunderstanding. i’m just hurt you weren’t straightforward with me.” he’s not quite sure what’s compelled him to say it, or to say it like that, but he figures it’s his best chance of getting back to normal.

✧ and you freak out because 1) iwaizumi haijime might’ve just confessed to you? kind of? and 2) it sounds like he’s already breaking up with you. and you’re like “no no no no hajime i like you i’m not interested in oikawa like that he’s just being a piece of shit—” and iwaizumi’s like wait. what? what?

✧ and you’re like “yeah he knows i like you so he wanted to make you jealous.” whoops. iwaizumi’s like “w h a t” and you know you’ve just sentenced oikawa to death. but then you’re like !!! hold up we’re not discussing the most important thing here

✧ iwa’s like ????? because he’s so rageful in that moment. so, you say “you just told me you liked me.” and he goes “o h,,, you just told me you like me.” and you two just sort of stare at each other and iwaizumi realises that he still has no idea how to talk to girls. and he just goes “are we… dating now?” and you’re like “i… guess?”

✧ and iwa’s berates himself, thinking “you idiot you were supposed to confess better than that i can’t believe this is how you’re confessing i’m—” but you reach forward and take his hands in yours and he’s !!!!! and you’re dlkjdfkldjf but you’re resolute. so, you go “friday?” “friday,” he replies. and with some surge of courage he brings your hands up to his lips and he presses a gentle kiss to them. in your head you’re like aaaaaaaaa but you muster a smile. he can’t help but marvel at how you’re even prettier when you blush.

✧ thankfully, it’s much smoother sailing after that, and the two of you transition to a relationship quite comfortably. the only real difference is that iwaizumi’s more overtly affectionate with you (mostly when you’re alone, but he allows little acts of pda – mostly handholding – to slip through the cracks)

✧ loves your voice? finds it so soothing? after you start dating, he makes a habit of calling you so you can sing him to sleep. nothing helps him relax quite like feeling your fingers in his hair while listening to you sing.

✧ i mentioned it earlier, but you make him smile so easily? whether it’s your potty mouth, your loud, bright personality, or your sarcastic side, iwa just,,, gets overwhelmed by fondness. honestly, just the way he looks at you betrays just how much he cares about you.

✧ the team adores you two together. like,,, they think you guys are so sweet, and nobody has the heart to tease you guys about it. well, too much (also they’re just grateful because they thought for a second there that you guys wouldn’t happen and that’d be a travesty). oikawa tries to take credit for the two of you finally getting together, but that usually nets him a ball to the face.

✧ you’ve just got a very sweet, loving relationship, and he helps ground you while you bring him some levity. we love to see it.

matsukawa issei

✧ you two have quite the entertaining friendship, let me tell you. he often teases you about the fact that you’re just a second year (even though you blend in with seijoh’s third years so seamlessly), but honestly it’s because he’s secretly a little miffed that he only gets one year with you as the manager. not that he’s going to say that point blank.

✧ like oikawa, he’s always teasing you for being short. and somehow, he’s even more ruthless. he also teases you about being loud. and about being an astronomy nerd. the short of it is that he likes to tease you. but, it all comes from a place of love (and he wouldn’t want you to be any other way).

✧ you two are constantly sassing back and forth (this is,,, a running theme fslksdfj), and he’s delighted that you can dish it back. It keeps things interesting, you know?

✧ okay, but you two have terrible potty mouths together, and iwa gets sflkjflkjf when the first years are around. you guys even point to yahaba as being just as bad, but iwa’s still the responsible parent in this equation. not even a kiss on the cheek can convince him to let you guys go buckwild. although, it does give matsukawa an opportunity to tease him for blushing so hard.

✧ you guys tease oikawa all the time,,, it’s so easy to y’know,,, y’know,,, oikawa tries to fight back, but nothing can defeat the power that is you, matsukawa and hanamaki with a target in mind.

✧ but at the same time, he appreciates you being able to flip the switch and step into the role of a responsible manager. He’s glad that you can look after the first and second years so well, and he knows that they’ll be left in good hands by the time the third years graduate.

hanamaki takahiro

✧ so, (in my head) makki is a notorious procrastinator. so, you two are always hitting each other up when you’re trying to avoid your schoolwork. and you always find just,,, the most bizarre ways to waste your time.

✧ “wanna go see this german arthouse film about a death cult?” “makki how,,, how did you even find out about this?” “dunno. are you in or not?”

✧ oh, but he always gets so miffed when you do well on exams and he doesn’t— he usually just calls you a nerd. doesn’t mean he’s actually going to study, tho dslkfj

✧ the banter in this friendship. you, makki and matsukawa form something of a trio, and if the three of you are feeling particularly goblinish one day, oikawa is in for it (as i pointed out earlier). on the more wholesome side of things, it means that the three of you are always laughing whenever you’re together? no matter what, you always find something to be amused by, and that adds some much needed levity to things.

✧ him and matsukawa definitely team up to tease you and iwa. like, they love you guys as a couple, but seeing iwa soft is such a contrast that they just. can’t help themselves. you’re iwa’s last defence, but the fact that the quips are coming from two directions makes it harder for you to protect him ldfjlklj

yahaba shigeru

✧ you two are best friends. sometimes it doesn’t seem like it, but you are.

✧ you’re constantly roasting each other (of course), and you’re always teasing each other for something. You tease him about his hair, he teases you for zoning out. You tease him for having terrible luck with girls, he teases you for being a procrastinator. Your conversations tend to turn into a battlefield fdslkj.

✧ you also have the worst potty mouths when you’re together. you always have to remind yourselves to reign it in when you’re around the team sdlkjd and seijoh’s no angels when it comes to language! even matsukawa’s like !?!?!?! mainly because nobody expects that to come out of yahaba, for some reason. which gives you yet another reason to tease him.

✧ you’re always trying to frighten him, and it works well during the first few months of your friendship. after a while, though he tries to steel himself; it works for the most part, but sometimes you manage to land a hit. the team went to a haunted house on halloween, and let’s just say that him and oikawa would not shut up.

✧ honestly, yahaba seems like the type of person who’s quite straightforward. he’s not the best at comfort, but he’s a good person to talk to about your problems because he’ll be honest with you. and, if you need someone beat up, he’s ready to go.

✧ yahaba has no problem with confrontation lmao he would literally get into a fight for you if you needed him to.

✧ okay but like,,, self-care days. he’s like LoOk MuM I’m TaKiNg CaRe Of MySeLf and you’re like “shigeru doing a face mask doesn’t count.” he ignores you, instead asking you if you’d prefer camomile or green tea.

✧ but he’s always looking out for you, you know? for example, he supports you and iwaizumi, and he has a lot of respect for him as his upperclassmen, but oh boy those first few months were full of side eyes. also, he knows when you’re down in an instant, and pulls you along for one of your infamous self-care day.

✧ you also cheer each other on, as good best friends do. your support is invaluable in his transition to captain, and he’s grateful to have you involved with the team. he knows that you, as manager, will cover the bases he can’t as captain. he’s honestly just relieved to know you’re there, supporting him and the team at large.

✧ tries to get you to start a band with him in third year. you’re like “okay!” until you find out the reason is because he wants to impress girls lfjdfskljdsjl also he wanted to be the vocalist while you played instruments, but he can’t sing for the life of him.

✧ you just have a lot of fun together, you know? while still providing each other with the support you’d expect from a pair of best friends. bless you guys!

kyoutani kentarou

✧ okay so, there may be a little tension here – especially at first. I get the feeling kyoutani doesn’t like loud people very much, nor is he a fan of anyone too enthusiastic. Your theatre kid vibe might rub him the wrong way.

✧ it’s going to be quite difficult for the two of you to connect (but, that’s kyoutani with everyone). blah he’s abrasive, and your loud, energetic personality is just so foreign to him. and he’s not afraid to be mean, you know? he’s confrontational and i feel like that might not sit well with you.

✧ honestly, he starts showing you a bit more respect when you start dating iwaizumi. because iwa obviously likes you, he sees you as worthy of at least an iota of respect. i think your relationship would smooth out over the next year, but dating iwaizumi definitely gave you an edge!

kindaichi yutaro

✧ oh, this boy is so fond of you. him and yahaba form a bit of a ‘protection squad’ whenever you’re at games. if they so much as catch someone from another team just looking at you, they’re ready to glare them down (so the tanaka & noya to your kiyoko, i guess?)

✧ first of all, the fact that this first year towers over you is both funny and upsetting. he doesn’t try and bring attention to it though, bless his soul. no, it’s all oikawa; he likes to point out how funny it looks when you two stand next to each other. you make him pay for that one--

✧ he looks up (but down sdffjk) at you as an older sister figure? he takes you advice very seriously, and he does his best to make you proud. honestly, he just likes being taken care of, and he really appreciates that you look out for him.

✧ always trying to try and cheer you up whenever he catches whiff of your seasonal depression. he’s not necessarily super perceptive, nor if he a master at talking about feelings (i mean,,, the whole kageyama issue dfkdj), but he doesn’t like seeing you sad. so, he tries to life your spirits by doing stuff like bringing you hot drinks in the morning before practice, and giving you other little gifts. his earnestness is honestly quite touching.

✧ he just treats you with a lot of affection and respect, and he gets genuinely surprised when kunimi sasses you because he cannot comprehend it? why would one of your underclassmen talk to you like that?

✧ another big fan of you and iwa as a couple. he holds a lot of respect for the both of you, and he’s honestly delighted to see you guys make each other happy! definitely the member of the team who’s most archetypally your ‘son’.

kunimi akira

✧ okay, but the contrast? exquisite

✧ it takes the two of you a while to acclimatise to each other, but i think you’d vibe eventually? he rails in the face of energy and enthusiasm, but he does appreciate that you can rope some of the other team members in by your “harsh parent” persona.

✧ once you’re friends, you two are so sarcastic with each other; there’s always a quip or two, and you also have a lot of fun sassing people together. he likes seeing how you can pull the third years into line too, even though you’re a year younger than them.

✧ i don’t see you guys being particularly close, but at the end of the day, you get along quite well, and you have a sense of mutual respect (well, in a very kunimi way).

some other interactions ♡

tsukishima kei

✧ alright, so you’ve never really,,, spoken much. but, tsukki ends up with a tiny little crush on you anyway. not strong enough to really try and do anything about it (especially given the obstacles in the way), but strong enough to be noticeable.

✧ it’s the preliminaries, and he saw you ragging out oikawa one time while you were in the hallway and tsukki’s like.,,, “hehe”

✧ tadashi notices immediately, and goes “what are you laughing at?”

✧ tsukki goes “i’m not laughing what are you talking about?” but he very hurriedly walks towards the rest of the team in an attempt to shake the slew of questions about to come his way.

✧ anyway, karasuno’s game is finished, and they’re watching aoba johsai verse another team, and they’re shit-scared. but, tsukki’s eyes kept wandering to the bench.

✧ and he’s just like “what the f u c k is happening to me, i’m—” tadashi’s sat next to him, and he goes “tsukki, are you blushing?” and tsukki’s like “i—”

✧ this is tsukki, you know? he’s not going to admit that he has a crush on a girl. especially one he hasn’t spoken to properly. how dare you assume he likes someone—

✧ but tadashi’s like !!!!!!!!!! oh my god oh my god oh my god – and tsukki’s like “w h a t are you on about?”

✧ tadashi’s all “!!!!!!!! you like a girl!! we’ve got to get you to speak to this girl!! this is the romeo and juliet of the modern era!!” tsukki just goes “that’s not a good thing—”

✧ but somehow tadashi manages to drag the two of you into a conversation while you’re in the hallway. he told tsukki that they absolutely needed to go to the toilet right now, and when tsukki tried to refuse he just grabbed his sleeve and dragged him down the hallway. tsukki was too shocked by his insistence to stop it from happening.

✧ you’re minding your business, checking your phone for something when suddenly there’s a very nervous freckled boy introducing himself and his exceedingly tall blond friend to you. you’re like ????? but you don’t want to be impolite, so you play along

✧ when you and tsukki finally speak, it’s,,, the world’s most awkward conversation. tadashi pushes him towards you and he’s like, “so,,, you’re seijoh’s manager.” and you’re like, “yeah,,, i guess i am?” because you know nothing about this guy and you have no idea why he’s talking to you. you just know he’s a middle blocker from karasuno.

✧ and you, bless your soul, try to keep the conversation going. it’s a little awkward, because you have no idea what to even talk about, and tsukishima’s,,, struggling. part of him really wants to talk to you, but another part of him is just frozen in confusion and a little bit of fear.

✧ it’s at that point yahaba and kindaichi round the corner. and in typical fashion, they whisk you away from the conversation before you even know what’s happening, shooting tsukki glares that say, “how dare you speak to our manager.”

✧ after that, tsukki stuck to admiring you from afar (even though he would never admit to such a thing), and he certainly didn’t make any more attempts to introduce himself – nor did he let tadashi pressure him into doing so fdskljdf

tendou satori

✧ this boy is,,, genuinely sad that seijoh and shiratorizawa have such an intense rivalry because he would be friends with you in a heartbeat. and he can tell this just by seeing how you interact with your team, and the scant conversations he’s managed to have with you.

✧ he can glean some of your personality just by watching how you interact with your team, you know? and your banter with the third years? immaculate, in his eyes. essentially, he really likes what he sees.

✧ semi’s like, “dude, if you think she’s cute just ask for her number—” and tendou’s goes, “it’s not like that (it is a little bit) she just seems cool, okay?” and semi’s like, “whatever you say, man.”

✧ also, that number 4 who’s near-constantly at your side is a little intimidating, you know? he certainly doesn’t have the gall to approach you all bold-faced, so he’s content to just stay on the other side of the court.

✧ he did bump into you in the hallway one time, and it was a disaster; he wasn’t ready for it, and that number four was standing right next to you. some part of him wanted to try and introduce himself, but his brain shortcircuited. tendou just kind of,,, looked between the two of you and gave you a thumbs up before basically sprinting down the hallway. semi never let him forget it.

✧ sorry this one’s super short! I just thought he deserved an honourable mention, because in another universe (hhh) you’d get along wonderfully imo

—designated ghost bait (y.terushima)

summary: your decision to bring terushima along on a ghost hunt proves to be both the worst and best idea.

warnings: none; mostly terushima taunting ghosts; fluff/crack; gn!reader

word count: 1.4k (oops)

a/n: part 2 of the drabble series; not super proud of this one ngl, but terushima gives me strong Shane Madej vibes and I respect him for that; lowkey would 10/10 go on a hunt with this guy

“Please remind me why I asked you to come along?” You sighed, watching with slight disdain as the boy who accompanied you danced (a very poor) rendition of the waltz. His feet continued to sweep across the dirty floor, the sound of his shoes scraping across the surface making you cringe.

Terushima merely gave you that shit eating grin he always had when he was up to no good, “because you love me.” He seemed to have given up on his dance routine, instead opting to sling an arm over your shoulders. “Admit it, y/n, I’m a delight to be around.”

“Yeah yeah yeah. Well, I hope your ego serves you well here.”

The site you had decided to begrudgingly invite Terushima along to was an old asylum that was once the base of operations for hundreds of labs that catered to human experimentation. The decrepit building sat abandoned now, it’s massive chambers having been left empty for nearly a century. Quite possibly the only thing more haunting than the appearance of the construction were the tales of what still remains within the concrete walls.

You and Terushima were already in the main lobby area of the building. Gaining access through proper means was no easy feat, so you simply decided that you’d have to do it your own way by slipping through a hole in the chain linked fence surrounding the perimeter. The prospect of trespassing made Terushima incredibly excited and for the nth time that night, you found yourself rolling your eyes at his antics.

“So, what characters does this place have to offer.”

You bit back a snarky remark, instead opting to just go straight into the spiel you usually gave on any significant sightings or prominent figures that are said to linger within the building.

Throughout your condensed explanation, Terushima seemed unamused by the lore you had encountered online. He waited until you had finished to throw his two cents in, “not gonna lie, this place seems pretty vanilla.”

“You’re so annoying.”

The pair of you continued into a small hallway on the left side of the lobby. It was pretty straightforward; rooms were littered along the walls and at the very end was a set of stairs that went both to the upper level and the basement. You and Terushima (mostly you) decided that, considering you were technically here illegally, it would be best to get in and get out. One walk up and one walk back down the hallway should suffice. And if you happened to peak into any of the smaller rooms, then so be it. You just hoped that covering this small of a space would prove to be worthwhile.

Terushima walked ahead of you, his flashlight casting strange shadows as he moved it from end to end. You tried your best to ignore him as he made fun of the shoddy spray paint that was left behind by others who had visited the asylum.

You were more deliberate in your gaze however. The entire building gave off this eerie sense of being watched, but you mostly blamed that on the atmosphere of 1. trespassing 2. it being 3am on a Tuesday night and 3. Terushima’s terrible whistling three feet ahead of you.

“Would you please shut up?”

Before he could reply with what would no doubt be a stupid rebuttal, you dug out a small device from your backpack and shoved it towards him.

“The hell am I supposed to do with this?”

“It’s an EVP. Spirits can use this to communicate with us. Just turn it on and try talking to them.”

“You want me to talk to do what?”

“Just start talking and see if you get a reply.”

You were ready for him to give you another dumb reply, but he merely shrugged and turned on the small box. A gentle hum of white noise filled the area and you’d be lying if you said it didn’t add an ominous impression to the whole ordeal.

You and Terushima continued walking, he had already done as you said and was walking along the corridor alongside you. Your shoulders brushed against each other’s every so often.

You had just reached the stairs and Terushima was about to turn around and begin heading back, but you grabbed onto his sleeve and pulled him towards the steps.

“We should try to do a full session here. Some experts say that stairs can act as portals for spirits and are paranormal hotspots.”

He let out a groan, “fine, but we better get something to eat on the way home. I’m fucking starving.”

“Deal.”

You had only been sitting there for a few minutes before a broken voice came through the device. You weren’t sure what it had said, but it was enough for you to grow excited.

Terushima, on the other hand, was steadily losing interest in the waiting game. His head suddenly shot up and the dangerous glint in his eyes acted as a warning in and of itself. “Hey, I think I know a way to get you proof.”

“Don’t do something stupid, Yuji, or I swear-“

“It’s not stupid because they don’t exist, and I’ll prove it!”

You braved yourself for whatever antics he had planned, but were slightly shocked as he clambered up the stairs, the stomping of his feet echoing through the stairwell was almost deafening.

He stood at the top of the first flight, a triumphant smirk plastered on his face as he still held the recorder in his grasp. “Listen up, you dead fucks!”

“Holy shit dude.”

“If you’re so high and mighty, then do me a solid and throw me down these stairs!”

“Oh my god, shut up Yuji! Don’t say that!”

He quirked his eyebrow at you, clearly inviting you to argue with him. “My friend said that some of you bastards might’ve killed a few people. You wanna kill me? Then kill me, you fucking coward. It’s not that hard.”

You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. And while you immediately feared the worst, you couldn’t help the small scoff that escaped your parted lips. “You really have some nerve, Yuji. It’s your fucking funeral.”

He ignored your comment, now pacing across the landing as if he was about to make some huge revelation. “My thing is, I don’t give a shit,” he casts a sideways glance towards you, “however, my darling friend down there does. So, you ghoulish deadbeats, prove to them that you either A. exist—or B. this is a waste of their, and frankly my, time.”

When a minute passed with no response, Terushima strode down the stairs with an air of arrogance surrounding him. “Shall we leave then? It seems like your friends don’t want to play with us.”

You decided against bickering and nodded in defeat, though for reasons you can’t voice, the small smile on your lips failed to subside. “Let’s get out of here, cowboy.”

The walk back through was now filled with a comfortable silence. Only the scraping of shoes on the concrete could be heard, but you didn’t find it as abrasive anymore. Terushima kept pace with you, his hands in his pockets as he walked. He only broke the silence when you were back in his car, your backpack filled with little trinkets and equipment was shoved in the backseat.

He slid into the drivers seat and started the car as you sat beside him. He watched in mild confusion as you smiled to yourself. “What are you so happy about? Didn’t I finally disprove ghosts to you?”

“No way. If anything, it just makes me want to take you to more locations so that I can prove to you ghosts are real. Even if it means you get your shit kicked in by one.”

He looked at you with both awe and incredulity, “I’m breaking out the clown wig just for you.”

“Shut up,” you chuckle and gently shoved his arm.

The car lurched forward, the dirt and stone beneath the tires filling the otherwise silent cab. Terushima rolled down his window as he pulled onto the main road and waved a taunting hand in farewell towards the looming building. “Eat my ass, ghouls!”

star wars Thoughts at 4 am

ok so rise of skywalker happened,,, and i have mixed feelings. i didn’t hate it but i didn’t love it either (and i usually love star wars movies), so i am in desperate need of a little rant about both the good and the bad in the conclusion of the saga

DISLIKE

1. JJ ABRAMS DISREGARDING ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT WE EXPERIENCED DURING LAST JEDI. this is what i am most upset about. you don’t have to like tlj, but you can’t pretend it never happened. it’s like he was trying to completely backtrack on everything that happened in tlj bc it was ~his~ vision for the franchise. i think that is disrespectful to not only rian, but to fans who grew attached to the development of the characters. we see finn revert back to first movie finn (lovesick puppy lowkey), rey become an invincible child of the sith, the end of the skywalker family line, complete abandonment of rose, and a total shift in the message of the trilogy. all jammed last second into the film. the next few points all have to do w this

2. the fact that in tlj it is revealed that rey is truly nobody- she’s not some all-powerful descendant or some with royal blood- and tros completely ignores this and makes her a palpatine. the whole point before was that she’s normal, but that doesn’t make her any less powerful, smart, or strong. the message from the first two movies was that you don’t have to be in these elite categories to be special and powerful, which is an important message to every single child and adult watching. it empowers us as viewers to believe that we have the capability to be great, no matter our status, birth name, ethnicity, class, or where we are from. you can find family when you have none. you have the power to change your life. when jj decide LAST SECOND to make her a palpatine, with no clues thrown into the first two movies to lead us to believe this, it feels like a joke. the rey we had come to sympathize with is suddenly an all-powerful sith, seeming stronger than even anakin and yoda, even though she had never even completed training. this reveal is not emotional and literally loses respect rather than gaining any from the audience. a cop out. i felt less emotionally attached to rey than in the previous two films bc of her sheer perfect power

3. rose being 100% sidelined even though her character was incredible in last jedi. her arc was one that i truly couldn’t wait to see finish and sadly we never got it because she was completely abandoned so it could just be a trio once more. i love her. the disrespect.

4. the sudden introduction of zorri just so that poe has someone to flirt with??? like if you wanted to prove he was heterosexual make him flirt w someone he has actual on screen history and chemistry with, like uhhhh idk? rey?????? dont get me wrong tho she is a badass and i love how she shuts poe down!! queen

5. how they throw it in there that finn is force sensitive but don’t fully explain it?? and he never even tells rey??? this is SUCH a cool concept yet it’s never even hinted at until the third movie and its not further developed as to why. likewise i wish we saw the stormtroopers before they left the first order. see what they dealt with and the abuse they endured bc it’s such an important facet of the trilogy and literally drives finns character

6. how we never touch on why poe felt it when rey was tortured?

7. i wish leia hadn’t died and she rallied support w lando

8. if they are a dyad why didn’t rey and ben fight palpatine together?? then no one would have died??

9. i’m just really sad that they chose to kill ben because even though rey takes their name, the skywalker bloodline is gone, while a palpatine lives on. the entire purpose of the first six movies is anakin bringing balance by defeating palpatine. somehow, palpatine survived this (never explained!!!!), which completely defeated the purpose of the first six films and strips anakins chosen one status and ultimate sacrifice of any true importance. in the end of tros, the palpatine bloodline lives on while the skywalker bloodline is gone, and i can’t help but to feel like that contradicts the theme of the original saga in which the skywalkers defeat palpatine and hope lives on.

10. lastly, i just don’t think george lucas would have wanted ben to die. when people kill off main characters to make the movie more emotional, he has literally said “i don’t like that and i don’t believe that” he goes on to say that he hates when main characters are killed, stating “the whole point of the film, the whole emotion that i am trying to get at the end of the film, is for you to be real uplifted, emotionally and spiritually, and feel absolutely good about life. that is the greatest thing we could ever possibly do.” so, i’m sure some of you could see why i have a little issue with killing someone who has finally recognized the error of their ways and wants to be better. yes, he has done awful things that cannot be separated from his new identity as ben, but i think that it would have been even more impactful to make him live with the crimes he has committed and still make him keep fighting his demons to join his legacy on the light side. overall, bens death left a sour taste in my mouth, and for that reason i don’t walk out feeling uplifted. i just wish i knew what george lucas is thinking right now.

1. ben solo’s arc and han. now, before some of you pop off at me, i still think he was awful and horrible and didn’t deserve instant forgiveness, but i also think that someone who has grown up his entire life being treated like the spawn of satan by all adults who are supposed to love him would fuck him up majorly, like it would to anyone else in that situation. i think that he deserved another chance at experiencing love and happiness, and i absolutely adored the scene with him and han solo. it was honestly one of the best parts of the whole movie. thank you harrison ford. the whole “i don’t think i’m strong enough” and him tearing up to his dad CUT DEEP. AND THE “dad-“ “i know” LIKE LITERALLY MY HEART. bringing back the “i love you” “i know” so they are LITERALLY TELLING EACH OTHER THEY LOVE EACH OTHER!!! i’m at peace. adam driver’s acting was absolutely phenomenal. so much respect for him. truly incredible.

2. i loved poe and rey’s bickering. lowkey thought it built some chemistry between them. and how poe seemed quite jealous that finn knew stuff about rey that he didn’t, literally asking him more than once (1nce) about it, like???? han leia vibes. tea. but also poe and finn

3. i really liked jannah SOOO much (and i usually am not one for introducing a character so late) but, like i explained in detail above, i wish they had built that backstory better and introduced her a little bit sooner with more screen time. but i loved her and finns connection and understanding of their trauma.

4. FINN AND POE BEING THE CUTEST HUMANS EVER. that’s all. i just love how they care so very much about each other like stop. cogenerals.

5. ALL THE JEDI VOICES WERE SO FREAKING COOL. CHILLS.

6. i honestly think that’s all. i don’t have anything more

7. OH WAIT HUX BEING THE SPY. i ate that shit up. yes. we stan. AND the hint that he was going along w poe’s phone call in tlj so that the resistance could escape (that’s how poe KNEW it) like YES

8. the animation of young luke and leia made my heart weep

9. that lil sketchy bitch babu and the new cone droid that talks,, mmm

10. OH THAT THE FORCE BOND LETS THEM TRANSMIT OBJECTS THRU IT LIKE THE VADER MASK SCENE WAS ICONIC

11. this is so sad that i am putting this in my “like” parts but the fact that they didn’t kill chewie and that they showed him being so torn up about leias death

12. OH AND CHEWIE GETTING HIS MEDAL THAT WAS SO HYPE

13. rey burying the skywalker lightsabers and looking into the sunset, perfectly tying back to luke doing the same 42 years ago

overall, if i don’t think too hard, i did like it and felt kind of at peace. BUT it could’ve been much better @ JJ :/ i feel like it didn’t do the saga justice as the “conclusion of the saga” bc there is still so much left unanswered. but, like i said, i did enjoy it a lot and have so much love for this world. rant over. i love u star wars. thank u for everything. <3

heyy congratulations💕✨!! can i actually have a (male) ship for all the fandoms (if not, just do oscar characters (you have immaculate taste in movies, by the way)). im an entp and my star sign is capricorn. im very all over the place with my thoughts and i like talking a lot. like i already know this request is gonna be super long just ‘cause i ramble (im glad tumblr doesnt have a character limit anymore). in fact, i’ll send this short part in first and then the rest so you can like hide it under the cut or something. im so sorry 😂

so, my ramblings are probably why im considered an extrovert even though i feel like i might be an introvert sometimes. in my free time, i really like trying new things. i have a lot of hobbies that i pick up and drop at random but ive always been really into music (i think im a pretty decent singer. not good enough to make a career but enough to surprise people during karaoke).

ok, i feel like i kind of have to say this because the biggest stereotype of entps is that we’re argumentative... but im not that. i try to be very openminded and i hear people’s arguments before deciding on a stance (a lot of times, my opinion changes every time i talk about the topic. unless the topic, itself, is dumb. then i’ll be comedically stubborn (cereal’s a fucking soup, ok?)) and i’m also weirdly sensitive to other people’s emotions and i try not to say stuff that i know will offend them. i do thoroughly enjoy correcting people though. and debates are still very fun for me... a lot of times i come off as enfp/infp because im very excited/bubbly (when im horny (all the time)) and im very caring with my friends/family but i did my research and im definitely entp. im hella disorganized and i hate commitment (once i like you, though, prepare for me to sacrifice my life for you).

im good with other people’s emotions but the part i struggle with is managing/expressing my own. ive been told by multiple people that im very cold, which always surprises me because i try to act really “out there” with friends. i never dont expect them to see through it. most of the times, though, im not sure what people think of me. i kind of have a lot of different personalities that just ~materialize~ when im talking to a different person (woo defense mechanisms). one thing people dont realize is that im sarcastic but only with people i like. oh... yeah, when i have a crush on someone, i like to tease them. but im also stupid so sometimes i end up offending them instead of being lighthearted like with my friends (sometimes, but rarely, i will go too far with my friends too. even when i try not to). its my way of trying to reach out to them and show them im cool but it painfully backfires every. single. time.

uhhh, last thing, im a switch but definitely more on the “bratty-sub” side than the dom side. sometimes i go full on sub (degrading, praise, worship, bondage, etc) and i come back from it and im super confused because did that just happen?? this is just for your consideration, but usually, i really like hate to love type situations because the whole like “arguing as flirting” thing is just 👏🏻🥵 but im also really into best friends to lovers because in real life, i usually wouldnt like someone romantically unless i could potentially see them as my best friend, platonically.

ok, so. i just stalked your ENTIRE page and i ship you with llewyn because youre really sweet (you deserve each and every follower, by the way. id die for you) and i feel like he needs that in his life. i also think maybe nathan(?) could work because he could learn a lot from you, emotionally. if not, i was thinking abel too. IDK. for starwars, poe because you seem just sane enough to stop him from like killing himself on accident because hes so dumb? also i could totally see you two as “arguing for a good amount of time before getting together” BUT i could also see “we were good friends before getting together” which- 😫😫 having to pick a scenario from my two favorite tropes for you and poe is a good sign for me. same reasoning for anakin. i think mando could also really appreciate your presence on his ship because youre kind and could take care of the child. for marvel, you lowkey could be really good with peter parker or scott lang (one of the soft, silly boys).

sorry for making this so long 😂

Thank you!! And don’t apologise it was an entertaining read🤣

---

MCU:

I ship you with...

Bucky Barnes 😎

It takes a while for Bucky to feel comfortable around you. He sees you with Sam often when you’re having one of your movie marathons or you’re just hanging out. He really wants to talk to you but he’s shy?? You find him attractive but then he is also intimidating.

Then Sam interferes and his solution is to set up a blind date for the two of you. It’s a little awkward in the beginning but you find his shyness endearing as hell. As time goes by, his true self shines through, you realise he is such a romantic and he always finds a way to sweep you off your feet. Horny all the time? He’s literally a super soldier so the stamina...

Star Wars:

I ship you with...

Finn🥰

Imagine, you always lean on each other to vent about things and gossip about other people. Rey is busy as hell and Poe is a dumbass (the the topic of the vent most of the time). Plus he’s General now so a distraction from all the work is very welcome and hence a lot of meet me outside i got a bottle of whisky texts from him. Eventually that turns to just hanging out because he wants to spend time with you.

He probably knows everything about you because he loves to listen to you ramble about anything and everything. Hence he’s one of the few people who you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. And then that turn to making out under the stars on a picnic mat and the rest is history.

Oscar Issac Characters:

I ship you with...

Nathan Bateman😈

It’s almost like you have a seventh sense to detect Nathan’s true emotions despite how much he tries to cover them up. He hates it. So he’s mean to you hence creating a vicious feedback loop of hatred. Queue 100k enimies to lovers slow burn But eventually things work out and Nathan learns to open up a tiny bit to you.

Bratty sub you say? Nathan loves a partner who bites back. Speaking of, on the rare occasion that the two of you show face in public, no one can stand to be around you two since you are always bickering. But trying to one up each other is just your love language.

#Followers Celebration: ships #Bucky Barnes #Finn #nathan bateman

EXO Reaction to Fight With GF

For 🍎 anon: If reactions are open, exo's reaction to their cold gf growing even colder and distant during an argument? Cold meaning they don't open up easily, not temperature lol anyways thank you in advance and I love your writing!

Nina’s Note: Thanks so much for your patience, darling. I hope you enjoy it! I chose to go an angst route with this. I lowkey don’t think I fulfilled what you requested but I tried 💀 some members’ reactions are longer than others.

Xiumin:

Usually Xiumin is even-tempered during an argument. However, he notices how distant you’ve become over the past few nights. He’s tried countless times to brighten your mood and forget about the argument but instead you refuse to open up to him. The extended silence during dinner one night makes him irritated and he remarks,“You’re not making this easy for me.”

“Of course you’d say that,” you mumble to yourself and reach for your drink. “Could you repeat that?” Xiumin challenges with a steely glare across the table. Setting down the cup with a heavy sigh, you meet eyes and reply, “Everything's always about YOU. We’re not a team anymore. I feel ignored in my own relationship. It’s almost like I’m an outsider looking in. You’ve been so distracted lately you forgot about my birthday.” Your voice gets unsteady so you stop talking and look away from Xiumin.

His glare immediately softens upon realization. He knows how special birthdays are to you especially being far away from your family and friends. You push the chair back and stand to walk towards the front door. “I need some time to myself. I’m already used to it,” you utter before storming off for a walk into the somber night. Sitting on a bench at the local park, you curse yourself for leaving your cell phone behind. The light wind tousles your hair while you silently reflect on the relationship wondering when things got so difficult between you two.

Suho:

Suho surprised you with reservations at your favorite restaurant. Your careers keep you two occupied so this was a perfect opportunity to catch up on lost time. Deep down you have slight uncertainty about your career choice but you’ve always been one to follow your heart. Lately you’ve experienced a few hurdles at work and share them with him which isn’t easy to do since you keep things to yourself.

He tugs on his collar and flashes you a small smile before starting one of his famous lectures. You know Suho means well and only wants you to succeed but it would be nice for once if your partner could support your wishes instead of seeing everything from a business perspective. You scowl while he rambles and absentmindedly poke the food on the plate with a fork. “Maybe if you didn’t daze out like this you wouldn’t have problems at work.”

“Perhaps I’m tired of hearing the same rehearsed speech from you,” you reply in a bitter tone. “It’s just suggestions, dear. Don’t take everything as criticism,” he counters. You slam down the silverware and snap back, “I hear this speech at least once a month. I’d expect my partner from all people to respect my choices and not question the path I chose.”

Grabbing your purse, you exit the restaurant highly distraught drawing attention from nearby patrons as they watch the scene unfold. Suho awkwardly clears his throat and swirls the wine in his glass trying to hide his evident embarrassment and regret.

Lay:

You’re incredibly proud of Yixing’s achievements (especially with the solo tour) but that means he’s home a lot less and the apartment is starting to feel emptier without his presence. Whenever you try to sneak a call or text at work, he doesn’t reply or tells you he’s busy rehearsing for different stages. You can’t help but feel frustrated by the lack of communication between you two.

After a rough day at work, you wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed and sleep for an entire week. It just so happens Yixing decides to contact you during his free time between rehearsals. He sends a few texts expecting a quick reply but they get ignored. He then tries to call you but reaches voicemail after a few rings. Confused by your silent treatment, he video calls much to your dismay.

After accepting the call, he greets you excitedly and rambles about the progress of the tour but suddenly notices your unusually quiet demeanor. “Is everything alright?” he asks with genuine concern in his eyes. Still affected by your bad day, you reply, “I just find it shocking you finally decided I exist and contacted me.” Yixing furrows his eyebrows and responds, “I haven’t forgotten about you. Work always keeps me on my toes--”

You interject, “Yeah, I know. Work work work. It’s always the same story with you. I guess I’ll let you go since you seem busy.” “Wait I--” he begins to speak but you abruptly disconnect the call. That night you stay awake feeling guilty and selfish for arguing with him but plan to apologize later in the week once the bad mood fades away.

Baekhyun:

Baekhyun drove you home one night but the date ended with heartache rather than bliss. He felt quite awkward around you lately. It’s almost like walking on eggshells. You didn’t laugh at his jokes anymore, car rides were always quiet with the radio playing as background noise, and you didn’t share exciting news with him like you used to.

He tried prying a response out of you one last time while parking outside of your place. Unfortunately emotions flared and yet another spat began in the car. You huffed in frustration preparing for the next ten minutes of bickering, but instead, Baekhyun demanded you to get out of the car.

“I don’t have time for this right now. I try everything to make you happy and all you do is push me further away,” he explained with a face set in stone. Rolling your eyes, you exited the vehicle and shot back, “Do what you always do, Baek. Run from confrontation. That’s what you’re best at anyways.” He drove off the second you shut the passenger door and gripped the steering wheel agitated with the state of your relationship.

Chen:

Chen heavily sighed for what felt like the tenth time that night. Your relationship was stuck in the ‘honeymoon phase’ for a while until frequent disputes ruined your bliss and drove you two further apart. Your demeanor changed completely, growing more distant and keeping to yourself. The time spent together diminished within weeks despite sharing a place. He couldn’t imagine a life without you let alone a few arguments destroy your connection.

For weeks, Chen searched for the perfect engagement ring, the best statement to express his everlasting love. Once he finally gained the courage, he decided to leave work early one day and surprise you at home. He never expected to walk in and find your belongings already packed and a few suitcases beside the doorway. You emerge from the bathroom with slightly puffy eyes from crying earlier in the day and immediately halt when you notice Chen standing by the front door.

“You weren’t supposed to be home yet,” you mutter, eyes cast down to avoid his questioning stare. His lack of response and the silence in the apartment only increase the tension. “We’re obviously not working out anymore so...” you trail off and gently grasp your suitcase handle. “I’m sorry it had to end this way.” Chen steps closer to you, his pleading eyes shining with tears threatening to fall. “Please don’t leave. We can get through this.” The sorrow building within you prevents you from replying.

You can only shake your head in disagreement and brush past him to exit the apartment, your own eyes forming tears at this point. He stands there speechless with his hand in his pocket twiddling the engagement ring with his fingers. He walks over to the window and silently watches you enter the taxi downstairs, the yellow vehicle driving away with the love of his life.

Chanyeol:

At this point you’ve lost count of how many disputes you and Chanyeol had this month. It’s even more awkward that he stopped by tonight for your planned weekly movie marathon. He hoped by coming over he could squash the tension between you two. However, that plan wouldn’t work when he noticed the separate bowls of popcorn and stacked pillow tower dividing your seats on the couch.

Ironically you chose a movie where the main characters broke up because their relationship turned toxic. It killed Chanyeol to consider breaking up with you but the arguments slowly took over your relationship and you’ve gotten more distant. What was once built on love and support quickly came crashing down. Instead of focusing on the movie, his mind wandered to how he’s going to break the news to you. His limbs felt heavier, his mouth started to dry, his heart began aching at the evident outcome of this night.

Chanyeol reached for the remote to pause the movie and turned to face you. He grasped your hand before saying the next few words that broke both of your hearts. “We can’t stay together. We’ve outgrown each other at this point.” You opened your mouth to respond but he continued speaking. “When was the last time I made you smile? Or laugh? You can’t even remember right? We’re both miserable in this relationship.”

He spoke these words but his eyes pleaded with you to save the relationship. The truth was you’ve grown tired of the constant spats and considered breaking up too which is why Chanyeol’s heart broke more than yours when you agreed to end it.

D.O.:

The sour mood from this morning’s argument lingers in the car when Kyungsoo drives you two to dinner that night. He hates when you fight and tries coaxing you out of silence by sprinkling in compliments during the drive. He even sings you one of your favorite songs but all of his attempts go ignored. With a frustrated eye roll, he remarks, “Sometimes you’re so difficult to be around.”

Shifting in your seat and glaring at him, you retort, “I could say the same thing about you.” Kyungsoo senses another fight brewing and stops talking. His fingers impatiently tap the steering wheel desperate to reach the restaurant already. Becoming exasperated, you cross your arms and demand him to stop the car. He soon reaches a red light and that’s when you dramatically exit the car, slamming the door behind you and walk in the opposite direction.

He turns around watching you leave and shouts, “Stop acting like this!” However, he’s well aware of your stubborn side and sighs in defeat as you continue walking to clear your mind. Other drivers in the lane begin honking once the light turns green but he ignores them. Kyungsoo looks on wistfully knowing you need your space and will find your way back to him. You always do.

Kai:

Kai grows concerned when you don’t embrace him as often as you used to, your greetings becoming more stale. There’s obvious tension between you two but neither of you choose to address it. He’s slightly nervous your relationship is going to take a crashing halt and decides to have a serious talk with you before he leaves for his scheduled photo shoot.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong moment to have this discussion because it transforms into a huge argument. The frustration evident on your face as unfiltered thoughts fall from your lips. Kai abruptly leaves your place and arrives at the photo shoot a few minutes late, the venomous words shared between you two still lingering in the depths of his mind.

Once the photographer calls him over to begin the shoot, he tries his best to block out the negative thoughts. His face remains etched in pain, revealing whatever was plaguing him internally. Murmurs from staff on set compliment his attitude and focus during the shoot. The photographer praises Kai in every shot pointing out how expressive he is but little does everyone know you’re the source of his pain.

Sehun:

The shared apartment is usually filled with laughter or terrible shower singing, but lately it’s awfully silent and tense. Sehun lost count of the days you haven’t spoken to each other. Living in the same apartment but still feeling like complete strangers.

Arriving home from work one night, you find him in the kitchen drinking a glass of water and watching you carefully. Deciding to take the leap, he utters, “You could’ve told me you were planning to end this relationship.” Surprised that he broke the silence, you furrow your eyebrows in confusion and ask, “What are you talking about?” Sehun sighs and leaves momentarily to retrieve the airline ticket he found on the nightstand.

Instead of answering him, you scroll through your phone to show him the texts from your bestie expressing her excitement to see you for a few days. He instantly feels terrible for jumping to conclusions and starts to apologize, his heart growing weary from the lack of warmth and love in the apartment. “Save your breath. I’m so tired of this,” you interject and storm away to the bedroom slamming the door behind you.

Sehun decides to sleep on the couch that night too ashamed to speak to you after assuming the worst and plans to rebuild your relationship. The next morning, he awakes in a groggy state but nonetheless determined to put a smile on your face. However, when he rushes over to the bedroom, he’s met with a neatly made bed, empty drawers, and your copy of his apartment key on the sheets.

Your smile is stupid (please smile at me again)

(pre-slash) Bucky/Sam

Summary: Bucky becomes Obsessed™ with Sam's smile and is very annoyed by it.

A/N: I don’t know what that title is either, but! I hope you enjoy!

Words: 1 343

It was unfair. Sam was a pain in the ass. A sarcastic bastard who thought he was so cool just because he could fly. Bucky could grumble about him for hours if no one stopped him, really, and Sam himself didn’t necessarily refrain from shooting back. It was an evergoing war between them, and then Bucky had to go and lowkey fall in love with his stupid smile. It was so so unfair.

“Look at him,” he was saying to Steve. “What’s there to smile over anyway?”

Steve rolled his eyes. “Just ask him out, Buck.”

“I will do no such thing.”

“I may not be an expert on this, but I think there’s a lot of-”

“Sexual tension between them?” Tony said, plopping himself on Bucky’s other side. “Yeah. I’ve seen it.”

“Stop,” Bucky snapped, resisting the urge to jab them both in the guts with his elbows. “There’s no tension. He’s an asshole.”

“Oh, you’ve always liked the sassy ones,” Steve said, and Bucky prayed for his face to not heat up when Steve smirked. “The ones that talk back and will make you work for it.”

Tony snorted. “It’s a miracle you two haven’t boned yet.”

“I’m leaving,” Bucky announced, standing only to catch Sam’s attention by the movement, and when he turned during his conversation with Natasha with that smile still in place, Bucky nearly flung himself out the window. “Ugh.”

Steve and Tony were laughing, but Sam’s smile had been replaced by a frown as he left the room.

Bucky spent a blissful hour alone in the gym before Sam found him, still clad in regular clothes but approaching Bucky for a sparring session anyway.

“What’s up with you?” he asked, the two of them circling each other.

“Nothing,” Bucky replied, wanting to tell him to mind his own business, but for some reason feeling like he couldn’t.

“You’ve been acting weird recently.”

“It’s your face.”

“My face?”

“It annoys me.”

Sam rolled his eyes. “I will beat your ass, Barnes, just you wait.”

Bucky laughed. Couldn’t help it.

“Oh, you think that’s funny, huh?” Sam’s lips were twitching in a way that told Bucky they longed to curl. “I’ll show you funny.”

He attacked, but Bucky acted on instinct, and soon they were not as much tumbling around as Bucky holding Sam down, the latter flailing so much it probably looked like Bucky was trying to kill him.

Bucky tilted his head at him. “You were saying something about funny?”

Sam huffed beneath him. “Super soldier strength does not count.” Bucky grinned, and Sam’s glare smoothed out as he rolled his eyes. “Okay, get off of me.”

“Not until you admit I’m the superior one.”

“I would rather die.”

“Okay.” Bucky straightened where he was sitting on Sam’s hips. “Then I’m not moving.”

“This is weird, you know that, right?”

“A few words will end it.”

Sam lightly hit his chest. “And have you hold it against me for the rest of our lives? I’m not that weak.”

“Good luck escaping then.” Bucky poked his belly. “Isn’t this a sweet spot?”

“I will kill you, Bucky Barnes.”

Bucky laughed, and he truly could’ve sat there for hours watching Sam get increasingly annoyed had his laughter not prompted a small smile out of the other man. He heaved himself off of him immediately. “Right, that was fun. Time to go. Things to do.”

“Wait.” Sam sat up, frowning. “It can’t have been that easy.”

“You think I have the time to torture you all day? People to see.”

“You never see people.”

“Well, maybe I should start.”

“You got a date or something?”

“Why, would that bother you?”

“No,” Sam said quickly. Too quickly.

Bucky turned back to him. “Would it not?”

Sam licked his lips, not meeting his gaze now. “Why would it?”

“I don’t know.”

“Look, you’ve been weird for days now, and it can’t all be because my face annoys you.”

“It’s part of it.”

“How?”

“It’s your smile, okay?” Bucky gestured toward him. “It pisses me off.”

“You know what, fuck you, Barnes.”

“No, I didn’t-” Bucky ran a hand over his face. “I didn’t mean it like that.”

Sam crossed his arms. “Elaborate then.”

“I like it too much and I don’t know what to do about it.”

Had Bucky been braver he would’ve stuck around to hear Sam’s response. Would’ve taken his rejection like a man. But he already felt like he was about to explore, so he left, not hearing if Sam was calling his name or not.

Avoiding someone in this gigantic tower was easy. Avoiding someone who knew about all of your hiding spots was harder.

Bucky cursed the fact that, despite their constant bickering, Sam was the one to have guided him out of anxiety attacks and the everlasting urge to hide from the world. He used to blame it on the fact that it was kind of Sam’s job to help people, because thinking of a deeper meaning was too much for him. Now, as he wandered past the rooms and floors he found most solace in, he wondered whether he’d always been this much of a coward. What was it about Sam Wilson that made him want to hide from his feelings entirely?

He entered a room he’d never been in before; the windows taking up most of the walls, with no decorations and barely any furniture. A table, some chairs. Possibly a meeting room that hadn’t been used in a while. He walked toward a window, watched the busy streets so far down, the cars merely moving dots. Here he could stay, for the moment. Maybe bring a book next time he felt like not being found.

But of course Sam found him. Three hours into his meditation, back against the wall, the door slid open to reveal Sam himself. “There you are.”

“How did you find me?” Bucky asked, heart rate picking up so suddenly he felt trapped, but Sam didn’t enter the room fully.

“I asked JARVIS.”

Bucky swore. “I knew I had forgotten something.”

“The real question is,” Sam started, leaning against the door frame. Still not approaching him. “Why are you hiding from me to begin with?”

Bucky looked away, out of the window, at the buildings outside. “You know why.”

“Is it because what you said about my smile?”

Bucky shrugged. “Yeah.”

“That’s a silly reason to hide. Especially when, you know, I don’t blame you for being into this face. It’s a handsome one.”

Bucky huffed out a laugh. “I said smile, don’t get ahead of yourself.” Sam laughed, and Bucky had to look because he was weak. “I don’t know why I’ve been hiding, to be honest.”

Sam finally entered the room, sliding down the wall to sit beside him. “Well, you’re an idiot, so I can’t expect you to know why you do things.”

“Hey.”

“Hi.”

“Don’t be mean. I complimented your smile.”

“Right. I probably need to think of something I like about you to make it even then.”

“You don’t have to.”

“Shh, I’m thinking, this isn’t easy.” Pulling a face, Sam turned to look at him from head to toe. “Okay, this is the first time I’ve seen it, but that blush of yours right now is quite endearing.”

Bucky covered his face with both hands. “I hate you.”

“Sure you do.” Sam poked his side. “But at least you like my smile. That’s a start.”

“The start of what, exactly?”

“Not sure. I’m sure we’ll figure it out.”

Bucky peeked out at him. Sam wasn’t looking at him. “You think?”

“Sure.” A beat, and, “How about we start with a date?”

“A date?”

“Uh huh.”

“The two of us?”

Sam rolled his eyes. “No, Barnes, me and the table. Yes, the two of us.”

“Okay.”

“Okay?”

“Sure. It could be fun.”

“I’m sure you’ll bend over backward to make it that so that you can see me smile again.”

Bucky laughed. “Careful before I change my mind.” But he didn’t, and never would.

jiley & camline for that angsty ship meme pls 🥺

okay this is so much fun actually ksdfjsdf but i think?? it’s less angsty than i originally thought lmao 🥺🥺🥺

Jiley

Okay james and riley have such an interesting dynamic and i literally cannot wait to see the trust building between them and kudos to james for dealing with riley ksdjfsdf

who is more likely to get injured doing small tasks

Definitely Riley especially since she is literally almost never careful enough. Like she has a butterfly knife that she constantly plays with and flicks around with a lot and bet she accidentally cuts herself a lot.

who worries more about the other

James skjdfsdf I think he would be the type to be more worried and persistent to get their injuries treated when it comes to injuries and stuff. Especially since Riley literally gets into trouble and gets injured way too often like every other day so he probably would get worried; while Riley would be the type that gets concerned only for people she cares about like James and the only sign that shows that is when she tosses a roll of bandages at him if he got hurt.

who is more afraid about the other leaving them

Both of them would be afraid of the other leaving them especially after they have spent some time together and are actually depending on each other?? and the fact that they literally only have each other to trust and lean on. Like James would probably be the one who’s more vocal about not wanting her to leave and Riley is the type who wouldn’t admit that she doesn’t want him to ever leave.

who is more likely to leave (for any reason)

I think both of them! At first it would definitely be Riley because she still doesn’t trust him, and she is kinda scared of actually trusting him? She feels as if that makes her vulnerable and he might become her weakness that could be exploited, and she’s scared she wouldn’t be able to protect him like how she couldn’t protect all the ones she’s lost. Which leads to her making dumb decisions that probably end up hurting him. Which causes James to leave her because any trust he has on her is definitely shattered. But both of them probably would be reluctant to actually leave each other once their broken bond is repaired stronger than ever.

who is more likely to drunkenly confess

Riley sfsdfsdf she has a pretty loose mouth when she is drunk and she probably just says whatever that comes to mind. Once she feels comfortable enough around James, drunk Riley would be emotionally expressive Riley. She would be more honest regarding her feelings and thoughts rather than always resolving to sarcasm and humor. catch her just rambling about how she hates james for always being so disapproving of her but then he looks so hot that she wants to just both kiss and kick him for distracting her but then he has to do things that just confuse tf outta her like making sure she is safe or how he pulls the blanket over her when she kicks it off when she’s asleep-- yes she noticed that-- and how she took a peek when he showered that one time and she didnt get much sleep that night--

who is more likely to push the other away (for any reason)

Honestly this would be Riley for a short while since there’s the whole trust thing. But also everyone she’s ever loved and cared for before all wound up getting killed so that is also another reason because she lowkey thinks she is the reason why she couldn’t protect the people she loves, and she wouldn’t want to do that to James, someone she might actually have feelings for, so she just ends up pushing him away and/or leaving. Cause seeing him getting seriously injured or dying on her watch would really break her, especially after she’s gotten way more attached to him than she would even want to admit

who picks fights more often

Riley tbh because well, she is Riley. Skljdfsdf ok but like she will end up doing or saying insensitive things mostly because she likes to be a dramatic little shit, and to annoy James, even during inappropriate times and that would probably cause them to argue and fight a lot.

who usually apologizes first

I think James would be the type to apologize so they could wrap up the issue and move on and Riley would be the type to show that she is guilty and sorry rather than express it verbally. Catch her buying dinner or doing something genuine from heart after she’s done something wrong or upset James a little too far.

who is more likely to withhold their feelings for the other

I think both of them! They don’t seem to be the type to actually sit down and sort through their feelings like “okay i think i’m in love with you” but they would be showing it instead? Like they wouldn’t actually admit it but they certainly wouldn’t actually go out of their way to hide it too lmao

who is more likely to lash out at the other

Depends on the situation, mostly. If it’s a very serious and dangerous situation and Riley is once again trying to kill herself, I see James would get more upset than Riley, and her antics certainly doesn’t help ghjfdkg

who gets more jealous

i think it would be Riley most of the time. I see James as someone who has that naturally attractive and kind charm that people just get drawn to and he is just so nice to everyone that people can’t not like him. Especially those who clearly have other intentions, and that would actually annoy Riley a lot from time to time. And Riley literally flirted and did much more with James when he first came to kill her, so who’s to say she wouldn’t have done something similar with anyone else? And James definitely knows that. Riley has a certain confident sexiness vibe to her entire demeanor and she attracts just the right- or wrong kind of company.

who is more likely to support the other in a relationship with someone else “as long as they’re happy”

Skdhfsdf i would say both but Riley would be the type to hold grudges and she will literally be so salty even though she’s moved on (if she even manages to) and James definitely seems like the type that would genuinely wish the other to be happy.

Bonus random hc: i dont think riley is the type to ever call anyone by their actual names skdjfsf and she definitely has a bunch of weird nicknames for people that she finds funny. Like she would be calling james as “golden boy”, “goldie” cause he’s like the top agent in their agency or like “superhero” cause she think he has some sort of hero complex always trying to save everyone he can kjgfds

Camline

OK camline are literally childhood friends turned enemies and just thinking about it kinda makes me laugh cause this dynamic?? would also be so fun to write considering how they literally cant stand each other but then they both have their emotional sides that they never let anyone else see?? i cant wait for them to realize they have the other right there all along who sees through their bullshit

who is more likely to get injured doing small tasks

i think neither tbH

who worries more about the other

cameron skjdsd and he tries to always make sure that she’s okay, regardless of how she acts or what she says.

who is more afraid about the other leaving them

i think both of them would be tbh, especially after they have grown to rely on each other

who is more likely to leave (for any reason)

celine cause i see her being wary af in getting attached to cameron and she probably keeps telling herself she is just fine with or without cameron and she probably will leave him just to prove her point ksdfsdf

who is more likely to drunkenly confess

i would say both of them! cameron probably is just his same good-nature self when he is drunk but if he is alone, drinking with only close friends he probably will visibly relax a lot and that might result in him being more honest with what he’s actually facing?? but he will probably just brush it off like it’s not a big deal. and it will prob take celine a lot to let down her guard but mAYBE if she’s drunk and comfortable enough she will let loose a few things that she would never say sober

who is more likely to push the other away (for any reason)

definitely celine cause i think even when they’re married, part of her still sees cameron as this playboy and also a competition and just someone she doesn’t know if she can ever fully trust??

who picks fights more often

both of them !! i’m pretty sure they bicker with each other at least 3 times a day over literally anything tbh but regardless if they mean it or not, it just how they function as a couple dslkfjdsf they’re used to it and i’m pretty sure if one of them starts being completely nice to the other for like the entire day, the other will start to get creeped out and get skeptical af

who usually apologizes first

neither tbh like if they are really feeling sorry, they would be the ones to show that they’re sorry instead of actually saying the word. but cameron will be the one more comfortable and chill with saying sorry.

who is more likely to withhold their feelings for the other

celine !! cameron would be more vocal and expressive when it comes to telling his feelings for her but skdjfsdf she probably doesn’t believe him

who is more likely to lash out at the other

i think at one point both of them would get angry and upset at each other back then but it’s more like years of misunderstanding and annoyance piled up sdjfsdf

who gets more jealous

both of them klsdjfdsf they probably get petty and salty but they also wouldn’t just say it cause they’re stubborn like that

who is more likely to support the other in a relationship with someone else “as long as they��re happy” i think celine will be the one who’s more okay with the thought of letting cam go so he would be happy and stuff like that because she probably thinks that’s for the best and cam most certainly would not be happy or okay with the thought but he is also someone who’s used to sacrificing himself so others can be happy. but both of them will definitely have the soreness remaining in their hearts for a long time. deep down they wouldn’t be happy with it, but they will gladly let the other go so they get to be happy.

#kdjfsdfs this got a lot longer than i expected but it's so great to dig deeper into their personality and stuff #otp: kiss me kill me #otp: meet you in the afterglow #loulou #asks

4x15 Nygmobblepot Thoughts

Mkay I’m just writing this bc I have to get my emotions out somehow, tonight’s ep was V MUCH! Plus I have no one to yell about it with :( So these are my thoughts from start to finish as I rewatch the episode… (Spoiler Alert)

-Opener Scene w/Ed and Martin

Holy fuuuuck dude, I’m still so shook about it. I feel like even at that point Ed actually going to safe him is such a show of trust and loyalty. Like he did not have to do that after Oswald ‘uncaged’ him….. and yet!!! HE DID!! (Plus I’m just so hype on the fact that Ed and Martin are even interacting, like!!! They went out for ice cream?? What did they talk about, how do they interact with each other, do they like each other?? These are two very important people to Oswald obviously so I NEED them to vibe well!!)

-The Escape Clip

I just absolutely love that Ed was running around like wild and popping off random shots. I loved it!!!!! Plus he was perfectly timed, I’m more than impressed.

-Walking to Lee’s

First of all, I absolutely love that they’re talking again?? Like I can’t express that enough because I literally thought that they’d hate each other forever, as I have no trust in the writers. But anyways! Just seeing them banter and talk and develop plans again was like a breath of fresh freakin air my dude. Also, Ed is being so sly and charismatic again and I can feel the confidence radiating out of him. I love it.

-Talking to Lee

I’m so pleased with how manipilative Ed was with Lee! The way he faked being the old him was a trip. (Now don’t get me wrong I’ve loved Lee so much from the get go and am hella glad they all teamed up but that play was good on Ed’s part).Then he just pulls up his tie and calls Oswald in and bam he’s back. I love it.

Also, Oswald giving him his hat back made me so happy for some reason like I just can’t get enough of them being in the same room without pointing guns at each other, let alone holding each others belongings and working together.

AND THE PLAN!!! I screamed when I heard Ed say it and lmao Oswald’s reaction was wow. It was brilliant of course, but I was also lowkey terrified that he was just gonna freeze Oswald and hand him over for some twisted revenge. LUCKILY NOT I FEEL BLESSED.

Lastly the Grundy talk was amazing, Oswald’s confusion made me smile. BUT THAT LOOK THAT LEE AND ED SHARED TERRIFIED THE ACTUAL FUCK OUT OF ME. I’m honestly terrified that Ed is going to decide that he actually likes Lee still because she can be bad too. I MEAN WHAT HAVE THE WRITERS GIVEN US THIS FAR. I’m hopeful that won’t happen but still there’s a part of me that just can’t help but think…

-Grundy Tunnels

Not a big surprise, but I was yellin the whole time. I love Ed so much and I feel like his character development is finally back!! I’m ecstatic to see him mess around with ‘dumb Grundy’ in his cocky way. The look on his face though when he realized Butch’s mind was back, I’m dead. And his signature “oh dear” ahhh. I was worried when he got his shit knocked out but I know the man can handle himself. Jeez, I love Ed.

-Oswald & Lee in her place

It hurt hearing the suspicion in Oswald’s voice, though it was warranted. But I could tell that he was genuinely worried for Ed, not just ‘the deal gone wrong’ or a betrayal. He sounds so vulnerable and impatient. But Lee though, she’s such a bad ass now my god I love it.

-Jim, Harvey, & Oswald show down

I love seeing Oswald so brave when it comes to them, obviously he doesn’t have time for their shit at the moment but he’s also not fuckin scared of em either. And shit when he realize Mr. Penn was eyes for Sofia he looked so pissed dude. I was about as shook as he was.

Okay and what the fuck is up with Jim being the renegade cop and Harvey being the good guy? I mean talk about a role reversal holy man. The freaking parallels this episode (more like this entire season) murdered me. But really, Harvey, be cool brother.

Also, bless Lee.

-The Shootout with Victor and company

Can I just say I love all of these characters so much? The way they interact is so unique and awesome and I dig the fick out of it. Victor is always so much fun, though I’m still salty he betrayed Oswald.

Also, bless Lee again. She literally stole their car. Iconic.

-Other Victor’s Freezer Scene

First of all, DAMN Victor. Next, I’ll always adore Oswald and Lee interacting. It’s the best, yes kids bicker like children. I love Oswald trying to sweet talk his way out of the Victor problem. He’s such a man of words (at least when he needs them). Lastly, damn Victor, way to freeze the bird without even checking, I’m cackling. That pose was damn near the same as Ed’s though let’s be real. I was highkey scared he’d come out all different too though.

-Bloody Loyal Ed & Frozen Oswald

Let me start by saying, I was terrified that they were going to mess up his beautiful teeth oh my. But aside from that I’m so proud of Ed for enduring that much pain to keep Oswald safe!!! I didn’t see it coming but I’ll accept it wholeheartedly. ALSO THE PARALLELS OH MY MY. I’m going to keep bringing it up because they blew me away. Neither of them would give the other up, no matter how much pain was inflicted! Tell me they’re not at least besties and I’ll call you a liar. No but really, it’s a huge step forward considering that Ed literally wanted to kill him like at least 3 episodes ago.

Ed’s reaction to Oswald’s use of his plan was great. I knew he’d get a kick out of it. I didn’t want him to be mad that he was getting tortured for nothing though, cause that was also plausible. Luckily again, that wasn’t the case.

My heart though when Sofia told her men to shoot Ed at the docks, literally stopped. I knew he wouldn’t die but I was still worried.

-Ice Breaking Scene

Where do I even start? I was relieved it actually worked, and that he actually was intact mentally. It was rough seeing him realize that yet another of his staff was on Sofia’s side back in the day. I believe that was really impactful when it came to Oswald trusting Ed again. In all honesty, Ed was the only one who hadn’t truly betrayed Oswald (at least not without proper cause, as debatable as that may be). I think it was a really good way to highlight the fact that Ed’s the only one.

Then he sees Ed’s hat and flips his entire lid on that torture man. When he finds out Ed was loyal after everything the look on his face was amazing. Of course he changes his plans for revenge around to go save him. LOYALTY I’M

-The Dock Scene (Pt. 24235454)

Ed’s so sassy, even when he’s about to get straight up murdered man. Oswald’s aim is on fuckin point, bless up. The emotions, I can’t.

I FEEL SO BLESS BY THIS SCENE MAN THE MUSIC, THE LOOKS, THE LITTLE ACTIONS. I honestly can’t put into words how this makes me feel.

They trust each other, they put the guns away, they’re perfect. I’ll say it again, tell me they’re not besties and I’ll call you a liar.

Things evened out so beautifully here. I genuinely hope they let everything go for the betterment of their relationship and I hope they never ever see that pier again.

-Final thoughts

WHAT AN EPISODE DUDE! I just don’t want the writers to ruin what they’ve just blessed us with. I’d be pleased with them just being friends again man. Of course I believe there’s more to it but even if there isn’t I couldn’t handle them being enemies again. It kills me too much.

Don’t fuck this up, don’t fuck this up. I swear if there’s a third Kringle I will actual set myself on fire. Don’t fuck this up.

just want to let you know that your writing breathes life into my day~ also! how about a headcanon of the paladins' reactions where they have to share a bed with their future s/o for some inexplicable reason? idk maybe heating is down, they got stranded and there's (in)conveniently one sleeping bag, etc. i die for this trope

haha, i’m glad you enjoy my writing, thank you! here you go. x

Shiro:

He would try, with everything in his power, to get out ofthis situation as soon as humanly possible.

He will offer to sleep in the gutters outside if that’s whatit takes.

But, despite all of his arguing and his bickering back andforth, he’s actually lowkey kind of relieved whenever his plans fall throughand his only choice is to cuddle up next to you to sleep.

Okay, cuddling?? Maybe not.

He sleeps as far away from you as possible, mainly to hidehis own rising blush and his own mild embarrassment.

Shiro isn’t the best sleeper at the best of times, so thisjust shatters any hope of him actually getting a good nights sleep for once.

OR SO HE THINKS.

He is shocked to wake up the next morning feeling genuinelyrefreshed, and he’s even more shocked to find that you’ve curled into his back,knees pressed into the small of his spine, head tilted and resting between hisshoulder blades.

He doesn’t want to move.

Keith:

The heating broke, and you’re cold, and Keith cannot behaving that.

At first, he planned to just give you a hot water bottle orsomething. Never once, in his wildest imagination, did he think that you wouldask him to sleep next to you.

“We’ve gotta get heat somehow.”

This comment alone has Keith’s entire body overheating, sohe’s all good.

But he agrees anyway, because when is he ever going to getanother chance like this one?

He lays down beside you and falls asleep in record time.Neither of you are touching whenever he drifts off to sleep – you’re kind ofjust basking in the others body heat for a little while.

But Keith wakes up, and he expects it because he knows fullwell he’s a sleep hugger.

And he is – because whenever he wakes up, you two arecocooned in each others arms, you still sleeping soundly with a grin placed onyour face.

Lance:

There is only one sleeping bag, and Lance sees his chance.

He’s quick to offer to bunk up, staring straight at you.

Everybody else knows what he’s up to, but you don’t. Youawkwardly tell everyone that you’ll gladly sleep on the floor if there thatshort of supplies, and everybody starts making a fuss like, “Oh, Y/N, no wecouldn’t ask you to do that!”

And then Lance swoops in for the kill.

“There’s plenty of room in the sleeping bag if you wannasleep beside me?”

Everybody just internally groans because of course. But it seems like the bestcourse of action so nobody says anything whenever you shyly make your way overto him and slide into the bag beside him.

The bag actually isn’t even that big, and your legs aretangled around one another and his chest is pressed into your back and it’s allquite uncomfortable but neither of you are willing to move.

It gets to the point where it’s, like, 3am and you both knowfull well that neither of you are asleep and this isn’t working out in the wayyou want it to.

So you end up groaning, grabbing his arms and wrapping themaround yourself before snuggling down in the new-found space that his arms oncetook up.

Lance is flustered as hell, but he goes with it, and you twoget a great nights sleep.

Hunk:

Okay but imaginethis.

Sleepwalking.

You’re a sleepwalker, and the entire ship knows it.

Everyone except Hunk.

Imagine this poor boys shock whenever he’s sitting up inbed, late at night, and suddenly his bedroom door is opening and you’re walkingin with your eyes closed.

“Uh, Y/N?”

You don’t reply. Of course you don’t. You’re unconscious.

Hunk starts to panic a little bit at the realisation thatyou are, in fact, sleepwalking. He’s wise enough to know that it’s not safe towake you up when you’re in this state, so he just lets you walk forward.

But then you’re climbing into the bed beside him??? And you’regetting under the covers??? And suddenly you’re hugging his middle and goingback to proper sleep on his chest??

He doesn’t know what to do, but he likes it, and he feels badbecause you’re not even awake and you’re going to be mortified in the morning.

But he doesn’t move. He lets you sleep.

To his greatest surprise and relief, you’re still there inthe morning.

Pidge:

Don’t make her do this please, god damn it.

She tried so hard for monthsto hide her feelings from you, okay? She has tried so hard to be subtlefrom the moment she met you.

Putting you in her bed is going to make that task extremelydifficult to continue. A person has limits.

She agrees anyway, because she knows full well that gettingworked up and flustered about it will say a thousand different things about herfeelings.

So she sets up the space on her bed and gets everything setup. Her extra ass probably sets pillows up down the middle just so you’ll feelmore comfortable.

You, obviously, end up knocking those down as soon as youget in bed, rolling your eyes at Pidge.

The two of you genuinely just lay in silence until you’refalling asleep. There’s no talking, no conversation, and Pidge is most gratefulfor this fact-

Until you start murmuringthings in your sleep.

Her head snaps over to you just as you start whimpering inyour unconscious state, and then your arms are thrashing around and your voiceis rising and you’re very clearly having a nightmare.

Pidge panics before waking you up. You sit bolt upright,grab her and hold her close to you, trembling.

And Pidge suddenly forgets about subtlety as she holds youback, letting you sob into her shoulder.

Witty Rapport

@salios

Erica kind of knew what to expect since it wasn't her first time being a TA, but even her experience wouldn't have prepared her for them. Derek Hale and Stiles Stilinski were absolutely goddamn ridiculous.

-OR-

Derek and Stiles don't think their witty rapport counts as flirting. (Newsflash: It does.)

Erica kind of knew what to expect since it wasn’t her first time being a TA. She was prepared for students bullshitting their work. She was prepared for the professor to dump all the grading on her and the teaching, also, when he didn’t feel like it. She was prepared for the class discussions to go on for too long or be incredibly awkward or stilted because of some of the texts they were reading. She was prepared for some students to be over eager and some students to very clearly put in no effort whatsoever.

Erica was prepared for all of that.

She was not, however, prepared for what could only be described as belligerent unresolved sexual tension.

Derek Hale and Stiles Stilinski were absolutely goddamn ridiculous.

It started the very first class after syllabus day. Professor Deucalion had decided that he wanted to try a more informal teaching style in a bid to get more favorable student reviews. He told the class he wanted them to be ready to discuss Romeo and Juliet. If they’d read it already, fine. If not, it was fine to just look on SparkNotes or some similar site to get enough of an idea of the story. The first discussion was just a way to see what things popped out at them and their comfort in arguing a particular point and supporting it with evidence from the text.

Erica had noticed Stiles dramatically rolling his eyes at the choice of text and immediately pegged him as one of the types with loud opinions and a big mouth. So when Deucalion asked about the nature of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship and everyone was looking around wondering who would speak first, she wasn’t that surprised when Stiles raised his hand.

“I think their relationship is purely sexual,” he said.

Several eyebrows went up, but Derek Hale was the only one that looked personally offended. Deucalion gestured to him. He cleared his throat and said shyly, “I disagree. Their relationship was a bit rushed, but I feel like they truly loved each other.”

He glanced over at Stiles who was looking back at him incredulously. “What? Romeo was ‘in love’ with someone else at the beginning of the play and love at first sight is bullshit. Love is a complicated and intense emotion. It’s not something that happens instantly. That’s what lust is.”

Derek’s eyes narrowed and a good bit of his shyness left him. “So you think they were willing to abandon all they knew, for each other, because they wanted to have sex? Are you forgetting that they made the plan after they’d already gotten married and had sex?”

“I’m not forgetting anything,” Stiles replied, “But as you said, their relationship was rushed, no time to fall out of a honeymoon period created from having sex for the first time, in Juliet’s case, if not Romeo’s.”

“If it was really just lust, why did they get married before they had sex? They made a commitment to spend the rest of their lives together despite the fact that their families wouldn’t approve.”

“Because one of the subplots is Juliet’s pending marriage to Paris, whom she does not want to marry. If she has to marry someone, wouldn’t making a choice of her own be significantly more appealing?”

“And why would Romeo be her choice? He’s not just anyone. He’s a member of the family hers hates the most. It’s not just a marriage of convenience when they both know their family members have killed each other. And she still chooses to be with him even after Tybalt. Is that lust too?”

“You’ve both brought up some really good points,” Deucalion interrupted.

Erica watched them both jerk as they realized they were on the edges of their seats, glaring at each other.

“Does anyone else have similar opinions to Derek and Stiles? Or another opinion entirely?”

The discussion continued with other students stating their own ideas about the play, but Derek and Stiles continued to glance at each other for the rest of the class.

And it was like that every time after.

Every single book, every single reading, Derek and Stiles would argue with each other like it was a fight to the death. One time, Deucalion just let them keep going and they didn’t even notice when class was over and people started to leave. And what made it even more idiotic was that all the arguing didn’t hide in the slightest that they were stupidly into each other.

They wouldn’t have been able to fool a blind child, let alone a class full of college students with fully functioning eyes. Not with the way Derek’s eyes lingered on Stiles’ wild gestures and he always lost his train of thought for a second every time Stiles put his pen in his mouth. Not with the way Stiles’ lips would part whenever Derek adjusted his glasses and he had to look away every time Derek’s biceps bulged when he crossed his arms in offense at some comment Stiles had made.

Erica wanted to throttle them both. It was kind of hilarious how oblivious they both were, but also super fucking annoying because all that sexual tension would go away if they would just get over whatever hangups they apparently had and just fucked already. Because, honestly, it just led to Erica drifting off into daydreams about a portable dehumidifier that could clear up sex fog. She was actually pretty sure all their erotic energy was making the other students horny. No doubt she’d seen the blond that usually sat in the third row jump her boyfriend as soon as she saw him waiting outside the door for her one day.

And then it got even worse because they banded together to fight someone else.

“We can’t really say that the book has a racist viewpoint,” Theo said. “It’s more about colonialism and how both the colonizers and those colonized are affected.”

Derek and Stiles shared a look and for a moment, Erica honestly thought they would just ignore him and start their own more intelligent argument between themselves. But apparently, they were just silently agreeing to put aside their own rivalry in order to take down a bigger idiot.

“So, you’re just going to ignore how Kurtz was literally described as a symbol for Europe, and how when he wrote a report about natives he explicitly said to exterminate all the brutes like the natives were some kind of infestation and not actual people living on their own land that they’d been living on for centuries?” Stiles asked coldly.

“And you’re not going to acknowledge that Conrad basically illustrates Africa as some kind of black hole that sucks in all remnants of civilization and destroys it, which leads to an automatic othering and fear of Africans?” Derek questioned furiously.

“What about the fact that he dehumanizes Africans by describing them mostly by the color of their skin, naming them cannibals and savages…” Stiles said.

“Not to mention the way any African that seems to have even a hint of intelligence or emotion ends up dead,” Derek added.

“Also, the way Kurtz Stockholmed the natives in the village he decided to settle in, abusing them until they went along with everything he said while still taking their resources,” Stiles bit out.

“Plus, the blatant way the African queen was interpreted as being the catalyst for his descent into madness, luring him with her savagery and sexuality, rather than the fact that his greed caused him to become increasingly more violent and irrational,” Derek hissed.

They went on like that, bouncing off each other, bringing up point after point, adding on to each other until they’d built a wall of irrefutable evidence.

Theo was clearly a douchebro of the highest order, and Erica would freely admit that his opinions on Heart of Darkness were wrong. All of them. Every single one was wrong. He was a smarmy asshole and he deserved to be put in his place.

But the event had evolved Derek and Stiles’ relationship from some “lowkey flirting while bickering” bullshit to some “so-in-love married couple” bullshit.

They fucking finished each other sentences now and had silent conversations about how to further their argument and basically became an unstoppable force of nature and they still hadn’t boned.

Erica had actually seen Stiles notice Derek in the dining hall, blush bright red, trip over his own feet and nearly spill all his food, before turning tail and straight up running away.

What. The. Fuck.

They were two intelligent dudes who were pretty fearless about stating their opinions. How had neither of them made a move yet?

If anything positive came from it, it was that it banded the rest of the class together. They all smirked and rolled their eyes at each other when Derek and Stiles got going. Erica was pretty sure there was a betting pool about which one of them would finally beat the dynamic duo in a class discussion. She was also pretty sure there was a pool going about when Stiles and Derek would finally have sex. (Maybe she was the one who had started that pool. Maybe not.)

They were halfway through the semester and Erica was starting to believe the two idiots would never get their shit together.

And they didn’t. Because they were stupid as fuck. She had to do all the work.

It wasn’t news that Stiles was a human disaster and could trip over air. It was even worse when he was in a hurry. He rushed into class a minute or two late and tripped before he could get to his seat. Stiles caught himself on the back of Derek’s chair, and Derek turned to look up at him in concern.

Their faces were only an inch or so apart and their gazes locked. Erica could feel the hair on her arms raise because the energy between them was electric.

But Derek rumbled, “Are you okay?”

And Stiles said a hoarse, “Fine.”

He stood up straight. They continued to stare at each other for a moment before Stiles shook himself and stumbled over to his seat. And Erica knew, she fucking knew, that class would be full of quick glances and blushes and pining and an unnecessary amount of arousal whenever either of them made a particularly well-thought out point. She couldn’t take it anymore.

“No!” she said in a loud sharp voice that caused everyone to look at her. “You two, get up, get your shit, and get out.”

Derek’s eyebrows crinkled in a hurt and confused expression. Stiles was immediately indignant. “What?!” he spluttered.

“I’m sick of the sexual tension,” Erica snapped bluntly. “Get out and don’t come back until you’ve fucked it out of your systems.”

Now they were both gaping at her in absolute shock. There was a loud moment of silence before Mason shouted, “Hear hear!” and started to clap. Everyone else joined in clapping and shouting agreements.

Derek and Stiles both grabbed their things and hurried out.

“Don’t forget safe sex is the best sex!” Danny called just before the door closed behind them.

Outside the classroom, Derek and Stiles stood and stared at each other, listening to the cheers of their classmates.

Derek looked away first, the tips of his ears bright red as he clutched his books to his chest. Stiles took a deep breath and decided to take the plunge.

“Uh. They weren’t wrong. I do want to sleep with you. Because, seriously dude, you are so gorgeous. But I also… You’re really smart. And you do deadpan like I’ve never seen. I’d like to date you, too. So. I don’t know where you stand, but that’s where I’m at,” Stiles said. He shoved his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels. Derek seemed to be frozen in shock, staring at Stiles with his impossibly colored eyes open wide. Then he smiled the shyest, most adorable smile Stiles had ever seen, just the slightest int of bunny teeth peeking out.

“Um. Coffee?” Derek asked softly.

“Yes, god, please. I slept straight through my alarm because I was up late trying to finish a paper,” Stiles said.

“For what class?” Derek asked, turning to head towards the nearest coffee shop.

Stiles chattered on while they walked. They bickered companionably until they finished their coffee. Derek shyly asked Stiles questions while they ate lunch. They swapped stories over dinner. The pair stopped by the store on their way to the apartment Derek had just off campus because Danny was right.

Safe sex was the best sex.

Erica thought it was maybe worth losing her temper. The sexual tension wasn’t completely gone and most of the time their arguments still ended up tripping into the realm of verbal foreplay, but at least it was because they were an actual couple, not because they were oblivious idiots too stupid to know how to deal with their feelings.

(Her good mood had nothing to do with the fact that she’d won the pool. None at all.)
