request: ok hear me out!! touchy!reader is the new girl at whitechapel and everyone just kinda gravitates towards her but somehow the main friend group (rory, erica, ethan ect) basically adopt her into the friend group unbeknownst to them Benny has a HUGE crush on her and often sulks while hanging out with them because of how touchy she is with everyone else,, then they figure out theyre just both 2 idiots in love!!! bonus points if she’s secretly a vampire too!! (not touchy in a weird way physical touch is just her love language btw) I love your work smmmm btw :D

Looking For Affection (Benny Weir X Vampire!Reader)

Masterlist

Request Something!

Summary: The gang makes friends with the new girl at school, who turns out to be a vampire that likes being affectionate with her friends. Benny gets pouty because his crush seems to be touchy with everyone except him.

A/N: this idea is so cute!! Benny would def sulk and be whiny about it and the gang would have to be like “bro get it together” lol i cant remember if full fledged vampires can drink animal blood or only human blood, so for the sake of the story full fledged vampires can drink animal blood, also warning for eating/drinking an animal ig…

***

Being the new girl was always hard. You didn’t know anyone, you didn’t know where half of your classes were. Hell, you weren’t half convinced you could find your way home. You were dropped off at your first period and basically left to fend for yourself. Then you had to force your way through an icebreaker while everyone stared at you, and when you sat down, you realized you had no idea what was going on because everyone had been doing this for weeks while it was your first day.

So yeah, being the new girl sucked. But it was ten times worse when you had to try to push down the deep insatiable thirst for the blood of the kid sitting next to you.

“Before you all pack up, listen to me really quick.” The teacher said as she concluded the lesson. Everyone groaned but waited for her to continue. “I want someone to show Y/n around the school and help her find her classes. Would anybody like the volunteer?”

Surprisingly to your teacher, practically everyone’s hand shot up. It wasn’t too surprising to you, though. For some reason, the transformation made vampires very appealing to people. It got on your nerves on the days that you just wanted to lay low.

“Wow. Okay…” Your teacher looked at all the hands and then at you. “Y/n, how about you pick?”

You looked around the room. You had to be strategic about this. Someone who wasn’t too excited to be around you but wouldn’t abandon you before the end of the school day. It would also be a plus if you didn’t have an insane urge to suck them dry like a juice box.

You pointed at a girl that sat on the other side of the room, closer to the back.

“If you don’t mind?” She grinned at you.

“Sure!” The bell rang, and everyone left to go to their next class. You and the girl walked out together. “I’m Sarah, by the way.”

“Nice to meet you.” Sarah took hold of your backpack, helping to guide you through the crowded hallway. When she took you to your second period, she stopped you from going through the door.

“I’ll come back after class to take you to your other ones. Since I’m like, your guide, I guess, do you wanna sit with me and my friends at lunch? They’re a little weird, but I swear they’re nice.”

This was going better than you expected. Someone nice was helping you find your way around, and you didn’t have to go through the new kid struggle of trying to find somewhere to sit at lunch.

“Yeah, I’d like that a lot.”

***

Before you knew it, third period was over, and Sarah was walking you to the cafeteria. You insisted that you weren’t hungry, so she took you straight to her table. Only one other girl was sitting there.

“The boys will come soon; they’re getting food,” Sarah told you before gesturing to the blonde. “This is Erica. Erica, this is Y/n; she’s new.”

“Hi.” You said a bit nervously. Erica gave an intimidating smile, looking you up and down.

“Hey.”

“Who’s this?” A new voice asked. You turned to see three boys looking down at you with curiosity. You stared back, waiting for Sarah to introduce everyone as they sat down.

“She’s the new girl, her name’s Y/n.” Sarah smiled at you before gesturing to each of the boys. “Y/n, this is Rory, Ethan, and Benny.”

“New girl, huh?” Benny asked from his seat next to you. Even sitting, he had to look down to make eye contact with you.

“Yeah.” He seemed to smile at your slight nervousness.

“How’s your day going so far?”

“Pretty okay. Kind of waiting for it to be over.” You tried to not get flustered when he laughed.

“Yeah, that’s fair. What do you have after this?” You reached into your pocket and pulled out your schedule. Benny looked it over, and his grin widened. “Oh nice, we have English together.” This made you excited for some reason. Maybe it was because you now have another friend (hopefully) to hang out with in class. The fact that, upon closer inspection, you realized Benny was kind of cute might have also been a factor.

“Y/n, if you don’t mind, maybe Benny could take you to your classes for the rest of the day?” Sarah suggested.

“Oh, yeah, sure.” You looked at Benny. “I mean, if you don’t mind, obviously.”

“Of course. We’re your buddies now.” You mirrored his grin. It was your first day, and by lunchtime, you had made five new friends. This was easier than you thought.

***

It had been a week since your first day at Whitechapel, and things were going great. You had Sarah in your first period, Benny in fourth, and Rory in fifth. None of your new friends seem to wonder why you never ate during lunch. In fact, Benny and Ethan were the only ones who came to the table with food. Despite harboring such a big secret, you felt so normal.

Today, Ethan invited everyone to come over to his house after school. The group got excited, but you became anxious. You always ate when you came home after school, and you don’t think your new friends would appreciate a detour from Ethan’s house so you could juice an animal. Luckily, you lied and said you’d have to talk to your parents first, and they believed you.

When school was over, you raced home. You had to wait for the streets to clear of students going home so you could hunt. There wasn’t much to do in town in terms of hanging out, so soon, you were free to roam. The park was your best bet. You could easily catch a squirrel or a bird.

You had a squirrel in your sight when your phone buzzed. You pulled it out slowly, not wanting to startle your prey.

Sarah

hey! we’re picking up a pizza for tonight. if you want, we can swing by your place on the way back to Ethan’s

You quickly typed a response. You didn’t want to miss out on your dinner or worry Sarah by not responding quick enough.

Y/n

sounds great! see you soon :)

Sarah

Looks like you were having fast food tonight. You quickly nabbed the squirrel, making it drop the nut it was looking over. You didn’t like thinking too much about what you had to do to eat, so you closed your eyes and sunk your teeth in. God, it was so good. You had been starving all day.

You were lucky the sun was setting. You don’t know what you’d do if anyone saw you right now.

“Y/n?” You froze in your crouched position. The voice terrified you. You didn’t want to look up, focusing on the five pairs of shoes just feet away from you. This could not be happening. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing!” You answered quickly, hiding your food behind your back as you stood up. Pursing your lips, mainly to keep your bloody fangs hidden, you looked at your friends. They seemed either concerned or confused. “What, uh, what are you guys doing here?”

“We were coming to get you,” Benny answered.

“Oh! Well, here I am.” You smiled awkwardly at the group.

“What’s behind your back?” Erica asked, eyeing you suspiciously.

“Nothing.”

“Come on, Y/n. You can tell us.” Sarah stepped forward, trying to coax you into telling them. She stopped herself from taking another step, staring at your face. “Y/n, is that blood?”

You swiftly used your sleeve to wipe your mouth, trying to get rid of any evidence of what you were doing. But during your panic, you forgot you still had a hold on your food, allowing everyone to see it. They all gasped, looking at you with strange looks.

“Fuck!” You squeaked. You gently set the squirrel down and looked at your friends. “Guys, I know it looks bad. But I-”

“Were you eating that?” Ethan asked.

“Of course, she was eating it. What else do you think she was doing?” Erica asked, rolling her eyes.

“You guys are freaking her out more; look at her!” Benny scolded, and he was right. Tears started to fill your eyes. There was no way you could talk your way out of this situation. You’d have to leave town, and you just got here. Things were going so well, and you messed it all up by not being careful enough.

“Guys!” You didn’t mean to yell, but it felt like you had no control over anything anymore. They all looked at you, startled by your outburst but waiting for you to continue. You took a deep breath to swallow your nerves and tears, but it didn’t help much. “I… I’m not bad, I swear. If I was able to change, I would. But I can’t. If you don’t wanna be friends with me anymore, believe me, I get it. But I’m fucking begging you, don’t tell anyone about this. Please. I don’t know what I’d do if-” Your speech was cut short by shock. Sarah had launched herself at you, taking you in her arms to hug you. Rory and Erica joined her, while Ethan and Benny gave you small smiles. “What are you doing?” You whispered.

“It’s okay, Y/n,” Sarah said, hugging you tighter.

“Yeah, don’t sweat it,” Erica added, rubbing your back. “Everyone gets caught eating an animal at least once.”

“What are you talking about?” You were definitely confused. There was no way they were saying what you thought they were saying.

Rory grabbed you by the shoulders, taking you out of Sarah’s embrace so you could look at all three of them.

“Welcome to the club, dude!” After an exchange of glances, Sarah, Rory, and Erica grinned at you. But they weren’t normal grins. Their canines were larger and longer, just like yours. It all made sense now. Why they never ate during lunch, or stayed in the shade whenever possible, or sometimes had an orange-yellowish tint to their eye when they seemed a bit more emotional.

Tears kept coming, but your smile mirrored the vampires in front of you, albeit a bit bloodier. You lunged at them, bringing them into another hug. Relief washed over you, and even more when Benny and Ethan joined the group’s embrace.

You were so happy that you didn’t have to hold back from giving your friends affection anymore. Before you were turned, you were very touchy with your friends. Not in a weird way; it was just the way you showed that you loved them. But after getting your fangs, you were more hesitant, the fear of hurting someone you cared about making you reluctant. But now that most of your friends didn’t even have blood for you to sense, you didn’t have to hold back anymore.

“Wait.” You loosened your hold, taking your head off of Sarah’s shoulder to look at the boys. “What are you guys then? Are you just humans?”

“Not exactly.” Ethan smiled, somewhat awkwardly. You were convinced it was the only smile he could make. “I’m a seer. I get visions when I touch things or people.” You nodded before looking at Benny.

“And you?”

“Spellmaster.” Benny held his hand up to your view and magically produced a tissue, using it to wipe away the panic and joy-induced tears. “At your service.”

***

Discovering each others’ supernatural identities brought you closer to the gang. Before Whitechapel, you didn’t know any other vampires except for the one that had turned you. You could finally talk about the stuff that you struggled with without feeling weird about it; the cravings, being wary about making friends because what if they found out or you lost control, being hyper-aware of all the mirror’s in your house so your parents didn’t wonder why you didn’t have a reflection.

But getting closer to the gang meant getting closer to Benny. You quickly learned that that was both a curse and a blessing.

Benny was so sweet, and funny, and caring. Always interested in how you were doing and ensuring you were included in group plans. It was a big plus that he was very pretty as well.

One day in English, you two were reading together for an assignment. Benny turned the page, but wasn’t careful enough. He sliced the tip of his finger, and the scent hit you like a truck. It smelled so good, it scared you. Instead of being concerned, you stared at his wound when he hissed at the pain.

“Sorry.” He said, licking the blood off. You stood from your seat abruptly, running out to the bathroom. You knew Benny would understand, but you still felt bad.

It was bad enough that you now had a crush on one of your best friends. But smelling his blood, his delicious blood, made Benny seem even more insatiable.

To fix this little problem of yours, you decided to keep your distance for a while. That would be hard because you were together almost every single day. So you just made minor, subtle changes in your routine. You started sitting on the opposite side of the lunch table from him. When walking somewhere, you walked with anyone besides Benny. At Ethan’s, you’d sit in an armchair by yourself so he couldn’t sit near you.

It hurt you, and you felt terrible, but it was for the best. Besides, how could a mortal be with a vampire?

Tonight was one of those usual nights where Ethan’s parents were out doing something, so he invited you all to watch some movies.

Erica and Sarah nabbed the two armchairs in the living room, so you had to sit on the couch. You could sit on the floor, but you didn’t want to be uncomfortable. You burrowed yourself into one of the corners, wrapped up in a blanket. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Benny eyeing you. He sat down in the middle of the couch, a respectable distance from you but still close. You wanted so badly to be near him.

“Start the movie, Ethan! What are you waiting for?” Rory asked, dropping himself on the couch between you and Benny. The tension, whether real or imaginary, disappeared, and Ethan pressed play. You leaned against Rory, using him as a pillow as you tried to watch. But all you could think about was Benny and the little pout on his lips.

When the movie ended, you unraveled yourself from your blanket cocoon and Rory’s limbs and excused yourself. You went to the bathroom to splash water on your face. Even though vampires didn’t really sleep, you felt so tired.

Face wet, you grabbed a towel to dry yourself off. When you were done, you looked up and became surprised at the lack of reflection in the mirror. No matter how long you’d be a vampire, you’d never get used to that.

“What’s going on with Y/n?” Your ears picked up on Benny’s voice in the living room.

“What do you mean?” Sarah asked.

“Why is she touchy with you guys?” He sounded sad, and kind of offended.

“That’s just how she is, B. You know that. It’s how she shows she likes you.” Ethan said, sounding done with the conversation that had only just started.

“I like that she’s all cuddly,” Rory said. “She’s really warm for a vampire.”

“Then why isn’t she like that with me?” Benny asked.

“Maybe you did something to piss her off.” You could practically hear the smirk from Erica.

“I don’t think I did.” Benny paused, probably to look back on your interactions with him. But he seemed to come up with nothing. To be fair, he didn’t really do anything. “It’s like she’s avoiding me.”

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you liked Y/n, Benny.” Sarah laughed at him. Ethan groaned.

“Don’t get me started; he won’t shut up about her.”

“Shut up, E!” Having enough of this conversation, you threw the towel in the hamper and went to the living room. Everyone looked at you as if they had seen a ghost. Pursing your lips, you decided to pretend you didn’t hear anything.

“What did I miss?” You asked, grabbing your blanket.

“Nothing,” Benny answered quickly, cheeks pink. You were about to sit down when Rory moved to your spot. He just smiled up at you, gesturing for you to take the place that he sat in.

The place that would sandwich you between him and Benny. It was better to go along with it than argue, so you reluctantly sat down, wrapping the blanket around you once again. Benny felt stiff beside you, and soon another movie played.

Did Benny actually like you? Your friends talked about it like he did, but it wasn’t necessarily confirmed. His reaction to them talking about his potential feelings for you could have been a tell, but you didn’t want to jump to conclusions.

You became so suddenly aware of Benny beside you. It was like he was trying to keep himself compact, arms close to his body and long legs crossed out in front of you. It seemed like he didn’t want to be near you.

Or maybe he felt like you didn’t want to be near him. You wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

You felt so terrible. All this time, you were telling yourself that the distance was good for the both of you. That he wouldn’t notice, and if he did, he wouldn’t care because it’s not like he liked you in such a way that he’d be sad that you gave him less affection than you gave your other friends.

Maybe you were overreacting. Maybe you were scared of getting close to Benny, scared of what could happen if you were close to someone you were so infatuated with but also had such a thirst for.

But you supposed it couldn’t hurt to try.

Your movements were small, barely noticeable. Your hand inched its way to his. Eventually, the back of your hands touched. Benny took a deep breath from the contact, glancing down at you. But you kept your eyes on the screen.

Benny’s hand slowly moved over yours, feeling hesitant. He kept moving until, eventually, you were holding hands. It felt nice. You wanted to kick yourself for acting the way you did. Your body fell lightly on his, sides pressed against each other.

You stayed like that the rest of the night. You didn’t want to move away, not wanting to lose the chance of being close to the boy you liked so much after distancing yourself for so long. When the last movie was over, Benny seemed happier than before, a smile decorating his features.

But all good things come to an end. You had to go home, so you let go of Benny’s hand and stood up, throwing the blanket onto Rory, who gladly accepted it.

“Okay, I gotta head out.” Everyone stood up to hug you goodbye, Benny being the last one. You hoped no one noticed that you clung to him longer.

“I can walk you home.” He suggested when you pulled away.

“B, I thought you were sleeping over,” Ethan said, looking at his best friend, confused. Benny waved him off.

“Nah, I got some stuff to do. Besides, I don’t want her walking alone at night.”

“You do know Y/n is a bigger threat than any mugger, right?” Erica asked with a raised brow. Benny just ignored her, looking down at you hopefully.

“What do you say, Y/n?” You should say no. You didn’t want Benny walking home alone this late. But as always, he was being so sweet.

“Sure.” He quickly gathered his things, and with one last goodbye, you were out the door. You mainly walked in silence, but that was broken about halfway through your walk.

“Can I ask you something?” Benny asked, hands stuffed in his jacket pockets.

“You just did.” He laughed sarcastically and nudged you with his shoulder, making you stumble. “Damn, okay. What is it?” Benny blew a loose hair out of his face, looking nervous.

“Why have you been avoiding me?” You stopped walking, shocked by the question. But you should’ve seen this coming. “Come on, Y/n. What did I do?”

You suddenly became overwhelmed with guilt. Benny thought that he had done something wrong when in reality, you were just a coward.

“You didn’t do anything, Benny.” You said quietly, kicking rocks.

“Then what happened?” Benny grabbed your shoulders, getting you to look at him. “Please, Y/n. It’s like I’m the plague or something to you.”

You mumbled a response, and he didn’t catch onto it. He sighed.

“Y/n, speak up.”

“I like you.” Your voice was weak, and you felt like you wanted to cry. Benny looked taken aback, still holding you by the shoulders.

“What?”

“I like you, Benny. Like, have feelings for you. But I had to stay away from you.”

“Why?” Benny asked, exasperated.

“Because how the fuck can I be around you when I’m busy worrying about whether or not I’m gonna suck your blood?”

Benny stared at you, eyes wide with surprise. That didn’t make any sense to him. According to other vampires, Ethan had even better blood than Benny, and you were just fine around him.

“It smells so good, Benny.” You said fearfully. “That day you cut your finger, your blood smelled so, so good. And it really scared me, because what if I get too close to you and I lose control? What if I try to hug you or something, and I hurt you? What if-“

Your ramble was cut off by Benny wrapping his arms around you, practically slamming you into his chest. You hugged him close to you, as tight as possible without crushing him.

“You won’t lose control,” Benny said into your hair.

“You don’t know that.”

“Yeah, I do. You’re not hurting me right now.” He was right. You weren’t digging your nails or fangs into him. You were calm.

“But what if-“

“No ‘what if’s.” Benny interrupted you again. “You like me, right?” That seemed like a silly question; you had just confessed that you liked him a few minutes ago.

“Yeah…”

“Great! Because I like you too.” Benny grinned down at you, all bundled up in his arms. “We’ll figure it out. I promise.” There seemed to be no room for argument; deep down, you didn’t even want to argue against it.

“Okay.” You pressed your forehead to his chest. “I’m sorry for basically ignoring you.”

“It’s okay.” Benny kissed the side of your head, rubbing your back. “You were just scared.”

“I’m still sorry.”

“Don’t be.” Benny gently pulled your arms off of him, hand trailing down to interlock with yours. He started to walk, tugging you with him. “Come on, I gotta get you home.”

“I could speed us there.” You suggested. Benny shook his head, smiling down at you.

“Nah. Wanna spend as much time with you as possible.”

What I think class 1b were like as toddlers because I cant stop thinking about it <3

Awase - definitely got in trouble a lot for welding shit together, he would welding his toys together to make these big as sculptures to give to his dad and it would be so cute but such a pain in the ass at the same time. He tries to be helpful with his quirk though <3 one time he was holding the light for his dad (universal experience) and welded the light to his forehead only to blind his dad when they looked at eachother.

Sen - he was a good kid for the most part but I think he would test peoples patience and pick fights with litterally everyone. Like some kid down the street looked at him wrong so now hes chasing him down the street screaming with a handfull of water balloons. Has 100% threatened to drill people with his quirk <3 took pictures of anything and everything with his moms phone.

Kamakiri - spent 100% of his time outside catching bugs or frogs or something. His mom would constantly get onto him for bringing bugs and shit into the house so he would go outside with a little grass hopper in his hands and sulk on the porch </3

Kuroiro - he would mostly keep to himself and just draw or play alone simply because he preferred it that way but the one game he always loved playing with others was hide and seek, only because he was a GOD at that game. 100% made a babysitter almost cry before because they thought he ran away or something when he was just hiding in the shadows (quite litterally)

Kendo - pure angel. Nice to everyone and everything and helped with anything she could help with <3 she seems like the type of kid that would hold your hand or something if you were sad or do something for you that makes her happy and omg I love her sm <3

Kodai - quiet kid. She did 100% use her quirk oh her toys though. Like she would take a small dino figure and size it up to take up her entire room to be more accurate to the game shes playing. Mostly kept to herself and was akward around others but definitely liked helping <3

Komori - problem child. She grew mushrooms everywhere and would pretend to make mushroom soup with the mushrooms she grew <3 definitely had to go to the hospital before because 'pretty mushrooms cant be poisonous' (the pretty mushroom was in fact poisonous)

Ibara - had one of those pocket bibles that she carried with her all the time. Stereotypical christian kid <3 not much I can say tbh exsept I feel like her vine hair would get caught on stuff a lot

Shishida - such a big kid for his age but shy asf. Hid behind his moms leg when he met new people. People constantly thought he was a short teen for how hairy he is when hes like 5. Idk why but he gives me 'doesent like loud noises' vibes. Asked his mom for shades to look cool and they stayed with him ever since

Shoda - shy kid that hides behind his moms leg 2.0. Idk why but I feel like he was a leash kid. Not because he was a problem child but because he would just wander off and no one would notice. Almost got cps called on him mom like 12 times for child neglect because he just walks away lmao

Pony - she the kid that walks up to strangers at pools and stuff and says shit like "my mommy says that her sister is a narcissistic bitch that deserves to rot in hell, watch me do this, its really cool!" Then she just jumps in the pool while whoever shes talking too goes through the 5 stages of grief.

Tsubaraba - problem child. Definitely was one of those kids that made up jokes that dont make sense (He thinks theyre funny plz laugh) also a very talkative kid. Not in the pony way but he would walk up to you and tell you everything he knows about dinos <3 ran out of breath quickly when he was a kid (cuz his quirk) so he had a little inhaler on him all the time

Tetsutetsu - outgoing popular kid that everyone likes. Everyone wants him on their dodge ball team <3. Knew different cuss words but not what they ment so he would say shit like 'son of a fuck you bitchin butt fart' or shit like that. Almost bit his tongue off before because he was talking while eating. (I wanna say he learned his lesson but he did it again a week later.)

Tokage - really liked legos as a kid. Her entire bedroom was just legos and her pet lizard named after some character from a movie she liked or smthn. She would confidently shout the wrong awnser in class (thinking shes right) and get hella confused when the teacher says shes wrong. Pony type talkative <3

Manga - his parents fridge never had enough room for his drawings. The only trouble he would cause is drawing on the walls or his bed sheet and stuff like that. He was pretty good at controlling his quirk but he was still really careful to not say certain things that would lead to house fires or his family being crushed lmao

Honenuki - adorable kid. He would constantly go up to strangers and compliment them <3 he would steal his dads ties and stuff and walk around with them on to feel like an adult and it was always so cute. Definitely the type of kid thay would take his moms phone to take pictures of random flowers and shit.

Bondo - taller and bigger than the rest of the kids his age. He preferred playing with bugs and other small animals than the other kids. One day he came home from school and his mom saw that he had a rabbit? For some reason? Next thing ya know they have a pet rabbit called carrot stick and it was his best friend <3

Monoma - he was cannonly teased and made fun of a lot as a kid for his quirk so I think he had some hannah montana type double life. Like at school he was being bullied and kept to himself and just kinda sit there and take it but at home he would be talking about how he rulled the school and was treated like a king there because of how awesome he is </3

Reiko - watched a lot of horror movies as a kid. Like her babysitter would be like 'you cant watch that its too scary' but then the babysitter is the one that ends up scared while reiko is drawing a little doodle of whatever movie monster is in front of her <3

Rin - angel child. Definitely shy but will talk your ear off if you ask him about dragons <3 his mom has the entire 'how to train your dragon' movie franchise memorized because of how often rin would watch it. He would pick flowers (or weeds that look like flowers) on his way home from school and give them to his family.

They were all so sweet im gonna cry </3

pleeease keep talking about toys...i think this is interesting and smth i've never thought too hard about but it makes sense and i like to hear your opinions on modern toys

(ask pertaining to this post)

holy shit okay !! i would love to ramble on so, i shall!

okay im no expert on toy sales history, this is all just observation from my life experiences and i'll try to keep each part i want to go over relatively short!

that being said lets start with a small one that i've personally noticed as a canadian: Kinder egg toys! i remember when they used to come with like 4-8+ pieces, and you needed the included step by step manual to assemble them. they would often come with sticker sheets to decorate them with, and they would often be articulated or be set on wheels or have some sort of fun or movement or general functionality to them:

dont those look awesome? wrapped in 2 kinds of chocolate, and for only like 2$! i remember they would come in all shapes and sizes, all sorts of animals and vehicles and sometimes freaky little abominations, as you can see above, and sometimes even puzzles! they were such a special treat as a kid.

but kinder eggs now? come with a maximum of like 3 pieces that just snap together (usually the front and back of the toy, and then the platform they stand on). and thats all they mostly are now, stiff toys that stand on platforms wahhooooo yippeee

idk just look at the quality difference from the old ones above compared to some of the new ones:

like..... these are..... nothing! literally nothing. just a figure snapped to a pole/platform and thats it! not very interesting for more than 3 minutes max.

now i know what you're thinking: "not ALL of the old kinder toys had to have been bangers" and you'd be right, some were lame as hell, but even the lame ones from before look more intricate than the ones we have now, like can you see what i mean, just detail-wise?

it just feels so cheap and shitty, i could go on and on but more is explained later. point is, it sucks.

anyway that's a very small example and we can move onto bigger and better ones, and maybe even one that everyone else might have noticed by now; McDonald's toys! remember when they were actually toys?

and not just stiff figurines?

(the minions franchise was like CRACK for companies who love making profit off of nothing but stiff rounded plastic. probably the cheapest form of "toy" i can think of)

and yeah, again, its not like there werent figurines back in the day too, there's ALWAYS been lame as hell mcdonalds toys, but looking among many modern mcdonalds toys, you dont see anything as cool as the old ones. literally every major modern movie/franchise right now is nothing but figurines. the most recent actually interactive mcd's toy ive seen is when they collabed with hasbro games

again, companies just seem to be pumping out quantities over quality.

but why?

well, for starters toys are becoming cheaper (both in price and quality) because prices have sky rocketed and stores are forced to only stock cheaper things, therefore the cheap things sell the most, and then more of them get made, and statistics get fucked, etc etc the cycle repeats.

but toy companies know one thing, and that's that things that are "cuter" always sell more. "cuter" being used with vitriol because their idea of 'cute' is 'more glitter and sparkles and rainbow colours and obnoxiousness' oh, and dont forget the huge soulless bug eyes on all of them!

i know that people love these things, but theyre so..... uncanny. their stare is piercing, their stance is so stiff, i always felt bad actually playing with the only one of these i had growing up, and not just because it freaked me out, it just genuinely didnt feel good to play with.

and i knoowwwww people are obsessed with these things, but come on, you have to admit theyre SO unoriginal! theyre just cookie cutter shapes!

these things are horrifying and, at best, belong on a shelf.

these "beany boos" are so woobified and almost feel like a flanderized version of a stuffed animal, and they've completely taken over "beanie babies", which were wonderful soft little things that actually had movement and weren't stiff to cuddle! I also feel like they're almost trying to copy what webkinz was, in a way, as some of those were stiff too (but still loveable and not burdened with an uncanny, vacant stare)

anyway this is getting insanely long and im sorry but i feel like im going insane every time i see new toys nowadays. the like.... "cuteification" of everything is driving me insane, and the fact that they are simply just lower quality than what we used to get, because of prices rising and causing easy-to-make things to become more and more popular.

examples to further prove these points:

extreme woobifying or "cuteification" by almost completely removing all horse anatomy in favour of thin limbs, heavy makeup eyes that are now on the front of her face, and modern influencer eyebrows. on a horse.

and the extreme-simplifying of toys can be seen quite well on those mini polly pocket sets!! see this one here?

almost allllll of those little plastic things could be rotated or rearranged or moved or fucked with in some manner, it was awesome. i loved these miniature houses they always came with so much shit. wanna guess what the newer ones look like?

you guessed it, like shit!!

man even beyblades used to come with like, all sorts of different pieces both metal and plastic alike, and you had to assemble them yourself and you could interchange pieces to obtain a different weight which would affect your attacks against other beyblades, etc etc:

and looking at them now? they seem to be mostly made of- yep, you guessed it, hard cheap plastic.

anyway holy shit i literally reached the 30 image limit on a single post tumblr really said thats ENOUGH !! i cant believe i just spent that long talking about the worlds most pointless thing but at any rate i hope you enjoyed it and i hope you see my vision. because like i said im not insanely knowledgeable on any of this in particular, but its hard not to notice the decline in quality of all of todays modern toys.

#i didnt even go off about the entire brand of toys that exist just to shit in a cup after you feed it chemical mixtures #and i literally cant ive talked soooo much on this post i need to go smoke weed and to go bed LOL #00 #03

I also wanted to know how you felt about the pixies and if you were going to use them in your au

@seth-the-whalelord you are two for two on 'asking very simple questions that send me into a brain spiral' lol thank you this is. actually very useful for getting me to figure this stuff out. This is what i've gotten to write thru on my lunch break.

So! Pixies.

Once again I have no idea if I’m about to spout an Unpopular Opinion or not but…..I don’t like…..little, ‘Mascot’ characters. And I tend not to like the Pixies. Theyre trying Too Hard to be Beloved and it CAN be pulled off..........but I’m sorry I can’t stand their shrill little voices………………

I GET that it’s a kids show and you want little critters to appeal to little kids and sell toys of but like… the cast of Winx is HUGE and bloated at a baseline?? Like the Winx and Specialists by themselves are already so much to deal with. I will say upon rewatch, the Pixies are definitely better than like, any of the other little critters they add in later seasons. There are definitely episodes where the pixies Work and aren't completely overwhelming, and they're liked enough to be worth keeping, conceptually.

I like the idea of the pixies being plot relevant to the fairies development, and I actually have been thinking about explicitly tying them to charmix (or, idk if I’m keeping the concept of Charmix entirely intact because its BARELY a form. But i guess it can remain as a concept, and as a stepping stone to leveling up a fairy has to get her pixie/charmix (so its a standard step not just something the Winx girls have)

I really like how Amore and Chatta specifically contrast Stella/Flora’s respective personalities, because it brings to mind to me that charmix is supposed to be about overcoming some personal fear or weakness/character flaw, it makes sense to me to tie them together.

THAT SAID some of the pixie/fairy relationships are stronger than others.

Lockette’s theming as Pixie of Portals/a wayfinder can be styled as helping Bloom who is currently feeling ‘lost’ in an unfamiliar world, help her navigate both herself learning about and her newly discovered backstory/identity. I think that pretty much works: Lockette encourages Bloom to find the truth even if she’s kind of afraid to/ has been avoiding it. Amore’s calm peacekeeper demeanor definitely helps to temper Stella, and I feel like she could help deal with issues of not just romantic love but her relationships with her friends and her parents. I think Stella is full of love and affection, but doesn’t always show it / in the most considerate way.

Chatta forcing Flora to talk to Helia about her feelings is a pretty good example of what she brings to the table there, though I never want it to be just flattened to Flora’s romantic subplot - Flora could do with speaking up more in general! Have her forced to intercede in a friend conflict or assert herself when previously she was just letting the group overrule her!

Piff. I am conflicted about. Because like… she’s just a fuckin’ baby. there's a limited amount of personality there. She's sleepy. She's baby. I guess I think it’s cute that she helps Aisha with her bad dreams. I knee-jerk wondered if it was in bad taste to ‘mom-ify’ Aisha by giving her effectively a baby to care for but it really doesn’t read like that too much because Aisha is arguably one of the best-written and most complex of the girls. Piff could play a dual role - as someone Aisha has to stand up for and be brave for, but also a manifestation of childish wonder, to push Aisha to enjoy things she maybe didn’t have the opportunity to experience as a kid.

Tune is where it starts to lose me. I get it, Musa is tomboyish and brash and Tune is about manners but that really doesn’t feel as…important a problem to deal with? I feel like it may be a thing where Musa has to like… repair difficult relationships she has that are made rockier by how quick she is to argue, or maybe take responsibility for mistakes - like a formal apology and maturely talking about things rather than being avoidant? I’m not sure it’s best styled as ‘Etiquette’ if that’s the case. I’m taking suggestions on this one idk.

Aaaaaand they didn’t even try with Digit. She’s just a Flanderized version of Tecna. It doesn’t feel like she contrasts or challenges Tecna’s personality in any interesting way...Idk I kind of feel like she has to be changed whole cloth?

I know they replaced Tune and Digit but I’m not as familiar with Cherie or Caramel. I might look into whether their concepts work better for Musa and Tecna character arcs as they are currently swirling around in my head. What's the general consensus on those two?

My design thoughts are. I want to make the pixies much more…. Abstract I guess? What if they’re not their own species as much as concentrated sparks of magic - Fairies generate a lot of excess magic, hence ‘their pixie’ is actually a part of them - a little external manifestation of their magic fissured off my whatever internal conflicts or unaddressed needs they have, and resolving that allows them to re fuse with the Fairy? (Bonus: pixies are only around when relevant and I can poof them away when I don’t want them in a scene lol)

ok maybe i will publicly cry a little about the seven days prismagic MV/song in general bc FUCK. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY

first of all the song itself. im not confident enough to break it down line by life as lets be honest...... Usually the youtube TLs are kinda rushed BUT they do still get the vision across, and when i read them i cant help but get the feeling that they are singing like. DIRECTLY to each other. and i dont mean this in a "the song is about their bond!" way, all their songs are about their bond, i mean this in a "call and response" way. like in the first verse you have natsume singing about how the passing seasons makes him feel, a more emotional approach, and then you have tsumugi respond with "your heart cannot be hidden with the color of your pure dreams," which is a very fitting comment for natsume as despite his best efforts to put up this Persona, his true, pure intentions always shine through in the end. then the next line is sora singing "your honest feelings always give me strength / because you always push this back gently and strongly" WHICH IS FITTING FOR TSUMUGI! because tsumugi is honest to a fault in contrast! and then in the second verse you have sora starting it off by singing about them continuing to paint their colors as they face their hardships, peak optimism basically, while the previous verse was centered around feelings this one seems to be the impact theyve had on each other, because natsume then follows it up by singing "i echoed a special bond that moved your heart" Which i think is a very beautiful way to emphasize the way natsumes love made sora feel accepted, as he was so used to alienation before joining yumenosaki. and then we have tsumugi singing "the words you like gave me the strength to face forward / its the magic that always made our dreams shine" which, to me, feels like a nod at natsume agreeing to be idols with tsumugi after the war when tsumugi was at his absolute lowest, just like how they said they would when they were kids. their dream! their dream that now came to fruition!!

NOW FOR THE MV. another theme in the song is them constantly singing about colors and the likes, which is especially cute bc soras synesthesia was what made him feel so different, yet now the three of them paint their world in the colors they wish together, as friends, but it is ALSO super cute bc! the three of them are the primary colors! together, they can create ANY color! which is why i absolutely ADORE the constant rainbows and such in the mv bc!! thats them!!!! thats what theyre capable of together!!!! the entire rainbow is theirs to paint the world with!!!!!! because they have each other!!!!!!! and anything becomes possible when theyre together!!!!!!!!!! and it just makes me so so so so so incredibly happy!!!!!!!!!! i loev switch so much its not even fucking funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#WHATEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR #SEVEN DAYS PRISMAGIC IS LITERALLY PEAK IT IS THE BEST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE #AND IT IS ALSO BRINGING ME TO TEARS BECAUSE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I NEED TO BASH MY HEAD AGAINST CONCRETE #nat rambles #nats enst posting

Please include more hcs you have such lovely 0103 hcs and i love the goobers too

Aww thank you!! okay, here you go, some more hcs ^_^

-In a post milgram AU futa knows how to skateboard because his sister taught him when they were younger, and he teaches Haruka how to. He holds Haruka until he's absolutely sure he doesn't need to be held and reassures him that he'll never let him fall c:

-if Haruka does fall, Futa is more than ready to check if he has any injuries and help him not feel discouraged. He gets a bit embarrassed about it but he tells Haruka about falling when he was little and being taught by his sister, to assure Haruka that it happens. Haruka giggles about it a little bit because the idea of Futa, someone he thinks is so cool and wonderful, falling over like that is so silly, so cute... and Futa is like "HEY DONT LAUGH" but he can't help but smile because Haruka's laughter is such a sweet sound

-A bit ironic considering Haruka is drowning in like 90% of his screentime but, also in a post milgram AU, Haruka loves to swim!! He doesn't really know how to swim in deep waters because he was only taken to beaches/pools few times if at all during his childhood, but he learns, and he discovers that he loves Being in the Water. He's always asking Futa to go to the beach or pool, Futa can't say no to his bfs cute requests (and he often gets dragged along if Haruka asks the others to go lol) (Haruka gives him the puppy eyes) Futa doesn't like to swim very much, usually he just sits under an umbrella at the beach and watches Haruka play with everyone else, but Haruka manages to get him to join

-Haruka tries to get Futa to swim with him but Futa touches the water with one toe and just runs back (very kitty behavior... lol) Haruka decides it's better to start small so he lets (drags) Futa to join him & the others in building a sandcastle!!!

-Later when Futa actually agrees to swim with Haruka, Haru gets so excited when finding any fishies!!! (he got over the discomfort with animals like how he got over the discomfort with kids okok) and Futa thinks that's absolutely precious. And when Futa starts to get comfortable with the water, he's just smiling while theyre holding hands standing in there, and Haruka just MELTS (Futa is already so handsome in Haru's eyes, but also Futa smile!! Futa happy!!! Haru's heart can't take it)

-back to milgram setting (this can work for AU too) when Haruka gets sick, Futa is the most protective bf you'll ever see... He insists he will stay with Haruka and take care of him even if it's a risk he gets sick too. He kisses Haruka's forehead, makes sure he doesn't feel lonely and asks Shidou for instructions how to help Haruka (what medicines to take, when to take them, what to do if his fever gets too high) his heart just breaks at seeing Haruka so sick

-they're both freaking out when they find bugs. I can imagine Yuno hears screaming and walks in to the room to find Futa clinging to Haruka and Haruka trying to throw anything at the bug that's got them so terrified (it's a microscopic harmless spider)

-You would think Haruka is the clingier one in this dynamic--well he is, but Futa is really really clingy and protective too. They could go to walmart and he just REFUSES to let go of haru's hand or let him out of his sight. (Haruka is very happy)

-Futa just adores playing with Haruka's hair, it feels very soft and he especially loves when it grows a bit longer than usual!! (He falls to his knees and mourns when Haruka cuts his hair. /not very serious lol) In the mornings, he wants to help Haruka brush his hair, and when they shower together he's more than happy to wash it for him <3 <3

-Futa needs reading glasses thanks to years of being chronically online, and sometimes he forgets to clean them, so Haruka reminds him, or offers to clean them for him. He's very careful not to break them!

-Follow up to glasses Futa hc, in a post milgram/normal AU where they live together, sometimes Haru will find Futa asleep at his desk, particularly during exams season. He'll gently slide the glasses off of Futa's face, so they wouldn't hurt him while he slept or break, cleans them, and walks Futa to bed.

-Speaking of college student Futa, he takes his studies seriously(ish) but procrastinates a LOT, so often ends up studying very late. Haruka gets really worried, brings him food if he forgets to eat and tries to help him take regular breaks for his back and eyes. (He'd try to help Futa organize his time as well, but the autism executive dysfunction does not let him organize his own time lol)

Okok, i think these are enough... I hope you like these hcs anon, thank you for asking me to share more of them! I love talking abt these two <333

#imso happy someone likes my hcs i usually feel too embarrassed to share them hehe #milgram #haruka sakurai #sakurai haruka #fuuta kajiyama #kajiyama fuuta #0103 #harufuu #harufuta

can I have some fluffy Houston hcs please? :3

also, while I'm here, are there any songs that you associate with Houston? I remember you mentioned a will wood one once, but I can't remember which one

YES YOU CAN!!! Ok song Association first

So the will wood song is Chemical Overreaction for like the first minute of the song.

Then Hello Hello by Elton John and Lady Gaga from the gnomeo and juliet movie. I don't have any others atm i think but I'll probably make a post w them eventually.

HCS below the cut!

She stole her first pair of boots from her dads closet, and her hat was a gift she got on her actual fifteenth birthday. She can still fit them so she wears them.

Steals clothes from the people around her. Her longhorns hoodie cane from austins closet, the gator and daiquiri hoodies from flo and louis respectively, even has one from alaska after barging into his house, and many more from texas.

She convinced Dallas that he would die if he went to Australia because of drop bears. After he got made fun of he made sure to google anything else Houston told him.

She was one of thise kids who was always selling something in middle school. Bracelets,necklaces,wallets,kandi, candy, fake passes etc.

She does love her dad a lot, but they're often ar odds when hes being an intolerant asshole. She still loves him tho.

When she mad at someone, they bake her a pie. She loves pie. But if you're not her dad or Virginia and you try and feed her your sweet potato pie she'll throw it at you. She's very particular about sweet potato pie.

She loves jewelry but hates how heavy it is :(

She wears glasses, and theyre all prescription.

When she cut her hair (it was to her knees and not at all practical for a farm) up to her mid back, texas was DEVASTATED. Locked himself in his room for three days with a bottle of jack daniels and a tissue box. It took him 3 months to fully get over.

She dated Oklahoma city once. It was during both of their rebellious phases. They were actually pretty sweet together unyil they both came to the conclusion that they're much rather date someone of the same sex. They still pretend to flirt when they aren't at eachothers throats.

Loves reptiles and amphibians. Thinks snakes are just the cutest (and they are) very avid toad lover.

Thinks armadillos and pangolins are so fascinating. She wants to hold one of each someday

Started listening to love is strange by sam and mickey after hearing Illinois (you know i had to sneak him in here) sing it.

Florida has seen her cry more than Texas has heard her laugh. Thats his girl fr 😢

Is very good friends with florida and louis's kids. Theyre like her cousins (besides her gfs obvi)

One time she went to visit Florida while he was rooming w cal. Their fridge was fully stocked for weeks afterward.

Is the fun babysitter, but she does know how you properly discipline (without corporal punishment) and many of those kids trust her as much as if not more than their parents. She takes care of them.

Doesn't want kids, but it's most susceptible to baby fever. She loves little babys they're so cute ugh.

That's all for now!

12,19 or 23 for mac :-3?

12: What's a headcanon you have for this character?

unibrow mac my beloved <33 if we're talking something more serious though i think itd be that hes got. COMICALLY gay music taste. fag club music is definitely his jam but hes got to get into gaga n shit for my own mental health. this is supported by the fact that in its a very sunny christmas (sorry to bring this ep up again) he literally has TWO rainbow jimi hendrix stickers on his closet door 😭 bud.... howd it take you this long youre literally making your own allegories 😭. sorry im gonna take this one to also say i think he should be More tatted up. rob you can rid yourself of your tats all you want but i know mac gets a tattoo for every boyfriend hes able to keep for longer than a week in my heart. their name right on his skin. this is Always what makes them break up with him.

19: A relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

i feel like "like" is a pretty broad thing for me. i can fucking despise something but it can still be interesting and i still like it. UNFORTUNATELY this is the case about mac and his parents. dear God actually a wretched family dynamic that attacks literally all of my insecurities with some of my own family. something about always making noise, always making a show but never being seen or heard really gets to me. the way even now mac makes it blatantly obvious what hes needing/wanting for emotional fulfillment, but his friends treat him just like his parents did because thats easier than sitting down and dealing with his issues. hes always been ignored so whats a little more?

theres a lot i could go into with this one. how being ronnie the rat was the only time mac would get seen, so of course he was incentivized to keep being a total snitch. how it seems that even joyce ended up adopting those methods against mac, being plenty apathetic towards things that were important to him (not even saying that her blowing him off is undeserved. its very much deserved even if its still a total dick move and heartbreaking that joyce would actively see the environment mac grew up in, and then decide to keep that cycle going for him). the way macs immediate family has interacted with him has affected. so much of his life that its insane. sorry that i wrote a lot about this one its just been on the mind.

oh i suppose i could also say him and carmen. i love you carmen i wish mac was normal you two would be unstoppable as a tgirl and her pet doberman fag duo. im glad youre happy just raising a kid with ur husband tho pls never come back and enjoy your life away from these freaks

23: Favorite picture of this character?

here are the jokey contenders oh my fucking god im sorry. theyre the like basic bitch mac images but theyre so fucking funny to me i think about them 24/7. literally whenever i bring up if im soying over something i want you to picture the second image thats what im doing

for a more serious answer, genuinely i adore nearly every scene fat mac is in. though i suppose the penultimate image of fat mac WOULD be the how mac got fat one

sorry hes like an angel to me here. in the grimy fuckin confessional n all.

i think this one is like. very easily first more than that other one but my shame makes it tied for first instead

sorry. ill stop. dont give me power by letting me post mac images i will empty my whole camera roll going "and isnt he so cute here? and here? and look at his smile here. and look how cute he and joyce are here" until literally every frame of fat mac or mac and joyce in frame together is posted.

fav img of mac and joyce together is them writing in mac and charlie write a movie. purely because i associate it with you and rambling about joyce and joymac for hours. without that association is the fucking cowboy photoshoot from mac and charlie die. sorry. basic answer there too

#sorry that pool table photo.#i know its supposed to be funny because ouufgugfh hes posing all sexy like a girl because hes fat and ugly isnt it so funny #but im sorry hes just so much hotter while fat than any other body type 😭#sorry. thats my public fat mac thirsting limit reached for the next 30 days #iasip #ty for letting me ramble so much <33 ly katie #iasip spoilies #keys dont look

hi zak, thanks to you... i have converted to a mariluke enjoyer fjsjndk

it's a surprise to me how marius and luke share quite a lot of similarities somehow? you mentioned how they both yearn for simple mundanities... marius because of how his past doesn't let him such things and luke because he's certain his future won't let him. they're both self-sacrificing in their own way, not wanting to be a burden to others.

(additional points, both terrible sleeping schedules... luke's aquarium visit card? marius's bday aquarium date event? baby marius' love for orca? i just want them to go to an aquarium and tuck them in nice heavy blankets as i kiss them both in the foreheads)

MWEHEHEHE, THIS ASK MAKES ME VERY HAPPY CUZ LIKE

always a joy to see another mariluker :DDD

marius and luke are really such insanely complementary characters once u start digging into them. like, i started shipping them at first simply because their dynamic was so fun to write in fanfic, but the more i wrote the more i was like oh dang you two are two sides of the same coin

also omg i see u mustve come from my twitter! context for others, the mundanities thing thats mentioned is this

thats just one example of so many where like.....theyre coming from different perspectives but sometimes end up with a similar view (ex. luke being taken in by mc's family making him terrified of being a burden and bad person, marius thinking hes the reason he killed someone in his family making him terrified of being a burden and bad person......KIDS CAN WE LIGHTEN UP?)

it's so fun picking into these two more cuz theres so many of these links that can be drawn and at the end of the day, it ultimately means that marius and luke have a lot of meaningful common ground and cld be able to understand each other so well. it looked unlikely at first, but these two have so many intersections where both thought they were isolated, and having someone who gets you on that kind of level....well thats an awesome core for a ship :'D

also gOSH I PLAYED THAT BIT IN MARIUS' BDAY EVENT THE AQUARIUM DATE STRUCK ME AS SO CUTE AND MY TERMINAL MARILUKE BRAIN WAS THINKING ABT HOW MUCH THEYD HAVE FUN TOGETHER AT AN AQUARIUM DATE OF THEIR OWN ;-;

i feel u so much anon. i also want to tuck them in....be happy, my blorbies.....

anyhoo, glad ur enjoying mariluke!! i hope to a new write fic for them soon, but til then, theres TONS of fantastic mariluke fic out there already. hope u enjoy ur stay at this ship :D!!!

18. Favorite animated show?

ouhhhhh batman brave and the bold baby. tossup between that and batman the animated series...both very tonally different batman cartoons....but batb i think was very beautful in that it introduced a lot of lesser known characters through the gateway of batman who everyone knows. i mean they had the worlds first ever and still persisting only blue and gold episode and introduced me as a kid to a lot of characters i really love today like plastic man, jaime reyes and ralph dibny....SURPRISINGLY EVEN THOUGH I HAD BATB DVDS AS A CHILD I NEVER RAN INTO ANY BOOSTER EPISODES? and hes my favorite superhero now!!!!! but i did meet the blue beetle back then and thought he was cute and fun and awesome so im #grateful for that. they gave screentime to so many characters no one gaf about like scott and barda and woozy winks and even their own jli episodes (with jaime filling in for ted who was dead.) also i love how it prioritizes fun over taking itself seriously ...batmans corny quips and jokes and the golden age designs it uses are all so fun and its a genuinely really funny show. i love it

19. Favorite superhero family?

JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL SWEEEEEEEEEEEEP

i ask you who else is doing it like their league and the answer is nobody. nobody at all. the jli care so much about eachother and textually refer to eachother as family so much it makes me SICK. you know when the avengers movies were coming out and everyone pretended like they were this funny cute found family who all lived together and liked eachother it makes me cry bcuz thats what jli actually is just read jli hey (shaking you) just read jli. honestly though jli is such a wonderful and good example of a comic with characters written who actually like and love eachother. this is going off topic slightly but something that i always loved about jli is that the only romances in the story are between guy and tora and. well tora and bea LOL..like its insane to me through the entire series run they didnt try setting up bea and tora and booster and beetle with eachother even though they DID get fanletters like 'CAN BEA AND BOOSTER GET TOGETHER PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE" they were like Um. No. anyways i love the jli and i love that they love eachother theyre my favorite league family. I love this bit written about them from the spy article issue in jla

22. Favorite Robin?

dick grayson because hes the oldest daughter and a 1950s housewife with female hysteria AND...hes my best friend. nightwing fans cant ever be hurt by nightwing comics being bad ebcause dick grayson has always fucking sucked

39. Do you watch Gotham?

i watched like 10 minutes of the first episode and got bored but i take the fact penguin and riddler are gay from it and take it with me to their btas and 60s appearances. wheres all the yaoi of btas riddler and penguin? can you guys draw more btas penguin? HELLO? ANYONE?

Played in an absolutely fantastic game of Hometown Holiday by @kidnickgames this past Tuesday and it was just simply everything i wanted it to be. I GM-ed and the initial love interest I created was named Yule Snowden, owner and operator of the Holly Day Inn (the groans i got for this in the groupchat, delicious). Then for players we had lovable single father Harry Pryne and his kid Pearl, Definitely-Not-Santa-Clause Nikki C., tired video game developer Shelly J. Plankton from The Big City, and Everyone’s Best Friend, Pepper S. Haker. Everything went so well, all of the meet-cutes were so cliche and fantastic: Yule spilling water on Shelly’s shirt and trying to dab it off, then a minute later tripping over Harry’s luggage and -gasp- falling into his arms, and then oh no! something went wrong with the oven and who could Yule call but their childhood friend and handyman Nikki. also Pepper was there! Always. Because Pepper is Always There :), you know, your best friend Pepper? You may not remember exactly when you became friends with them, but theyre always there when you need them! What a good friend. When we had our first doubles roll while everyone was baking and decorating cookies together it ended up introducing another love interest: Mr. Kris, who was also a video game developer from the Big City, but! he worked for the rivals of Shelly’s company. And while him and Shelly didn’t end up having to share a bed, they did end up sharing a bathroom. there just werent any other rooms available! ;3c All in all its a really fantastic game, the system is simple but very fun, with each character having three stats that they can add to their 2d6 rolls. As I mentioned above, if they roll doubles then they all roll on the complication table, which only happened a few times during our game but was fantastic each time. Theres also slight PVP mechanics, as all the PCs are vying to kiss the Love Interest by the end of the game. Of course, we ended up with two Love Interests, which worked out well as in the end Shelly and Mr. Kris got to share a lovely chaste kiss in the lobby while Yule and Nikki kissed at the Holly Day Inn’s Christmas Eve Donation Dance, and Harry and Pepper ended up rekindling their high school romance under the mistletoe. It was extremely fun and just a hilarious time, since we’re all familiar with the good-bad holiday movie cliches we were able to just yes-and eachother into oblivion, i dont think ive ever laughed so much during a game. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good 2-3 hour holiday one shot this week!

#corvid caws #hometown holiday #indie ttrpg #was pepper an eldritch horror??#ill never tell ;3c #because theyd kill me ;3c #also also nikkis backstory was that they saw their neighbor scott accidentally kill santa #you know #a la the tim curry santa clause movie #but then they accidentally killed scott #nsdkfj #so they were not just becoming santa claus but specificaly becoming tim curry as santa claus #it was extremely good #also did we play out a holiday movie human!au plankton and mr. krabs romance #maybe. ok #maybe.#kjnsdafjkbdkfhjbsdf

Previous anon. Honestly nothing made me happier than seeing natsume and mikan well and happy in the spin off manga, just together and happy. Ofc i do miss Hotaru and i hope she managed to get back to the gang bc they are just not complete without her.

I wanted to ask you: do you have any HCs regarding the quartet (yes including Hotaru being back) in their mundane day to day highschool time? How is studying for them, what do they all wanna be when thry graduste? Are any of them going to go to university? How fast are Natsume and Mikan going to be married? Anyone any kids? Maybe a dog or cats?

thanks for the ask <3 yeah my absolute favorite part of the spin off was seeing natsumikan as an official couple! theyre so cute <3 im incapable of thinking of a post-kageki universe where they dont reunite with hotaru.

tsubasa mentions around chapter 73 or 74 that the last couple years of the high school count as university credit but that some students choose to continue college to gain more knowledge. i feel like perhaps hotaru would be in that category. she is very lazy but i think she'd want to refine her skills. if not that, then i could see her easily taking off with a career right out of school since she already has an impressive following. her future is pretty solid.

ruka wants to be a vet and i'm not entirely sure how vet training would work in alice academy? it's a pretty lengthy process in the normal world--about 8 years (4 undergrad, 4 at vet school). if the last 2-3 years of alice academy hs are the equivalent of a typical 4 year university, then ruka would still have to continue the 4 years of vet school to get his credential. in any case, he's pretty passionate about it. he doesn't seem like he puts much effort into school while in elementary school, but i think he'd put his all into vet school because he'll be doing something he really loves.

i can see mikan pursuing a teaching job or maybe nursing--something where she can help people. it would HAVE to be a people-oriented occupation, where she interacts with lots of people and is more hands-on. in either case, she could probably start right away after graduation and since nepotism is real and she's close friends with most of the staff, she's a shoe-in for a teaching position for sure.

i can't imagine natsume having a job he's passionate about. i don't think natsume would ever be passionate about labor, no matter what it is. i've read all kinds of fics, where natsume goes on to be a spy or work in security or what have you, but to be honest i don't think natsume would EVER elect to be in a dangerous field after being a child soldier for so many years. idk cant he be mikan's stay at home husband? cant he have a break? if he must have a job, i'd hate it if he did anything dangerous; i much prefer to imagine him doing something calm and laid-back.

as for the marriage question.... i can see them getting married ASAP. like right away tbh. natsume has a terminal illness after all! but thats not fully relevant to me bc i cant imagine a future where natsume doesnt get "cured" in some way. i just cant. in any case they were 12 when they got engaged so they're the kind of couple that moves fast FOR SURE. they'd get married as soon as it becomes a possibility. i talk about the possibility of nm children here, too.

as for other characters...

idk really. i can see tsubasa and misaki for sure having kids. the other class b characters might have kids but probably not right away. i can see ruka for sure having pets always. maybe natsumikan get a kitty. that would be cute!

i have a lot of hcs actually but i feel like this has gotten pretty long so i'll leave it at that for now. thanks for sending me this ask! i appreciate it ;-; <3

#answered #anon #ga #gakuen alice #feel free to send as many asks as u like!#i love talking abt ga forever and ever #if this seems short its just bc im tired... i didnt get a lot of sleep last night ;-;

For the ask game: those two people in your header

YAAAAAAY. im building a collection of father daughter duos where both of them r autistic. so far my collection is just sherlock&iris and dororo&koyuki. im going to preemptively assume this will get long enough that the polite thing to do will be putting it under a cut. so here look at them

that’s uh. supposed to be a gif. it didn’t. it didn’t save as a gif. ok whatever

DORORO N KOYUKI THEYRE AWESOME. THE BESTEST CHARACTERS. i dont think any fans dislike either of them bc they’re so great that how could you not like them

describe their canon relationship/dynamic

INSEPARABLE BEST FRIENDS. VERY familial. they rely on each other they encourage each other they teach things to each other they help each other. they both want the best for each other & always do whatever they can to help Get it. they’re sooo sweet all the time theyre just giving each other advice or telling each other new bad jokes. or hunting in the woods together. you know how it is. koyuki always does whatever she can for dororo when hes having a Complete Emotional Breakdown and hes always super excited for her when she has a good time hanging out with natsumi and They’re Just Sweet.

your ideal/headcanon version of it? how does it differ from how it is in canon & why is this your favorite version? any other alternate versions of it you enjoy?

i dont think theyre actually very different in my mind than in the series. like. i used to think dororo being like her dad was a fabrication of my brain but no he really IS sometimes. his first dialogue in the show is asking her how she likes her new school. like. they’re one of those dynamics i like where i dont think there’s any improving on it. it’s pretty much the best version of itself as is.

what do you like about their relationship, why is it interesting or enjoyable to you?

I HAVE to like it bc dororo is my favorite character ever and koyuki is One Of my favorite characters in the series. i love found family. i Love Besties. i love autistic people. theyre just Very Fun, and Very Cute, and Very Funny, and Very Important

what about the individual characters involved? what does this relationship mean to them, what makes it unique among their relationships?

GOD IT HAS TO BE SO SO IMPORTANT TO BOTH OF THEM. LIKE. lets start with koyuki. She seems to be an orphan but aside from that her family situation is unknown, like idk if she ever HAD parents she Knew or not, and the ninja village she spent Most of her childhood in was kind of Against the formation of too Soft & Close of relationships. One of her lifelong friends Mukuro was always firmly against koyuki calling them friends because Ninjas Don’t Have Friends, and another one of her friends would help her out when she got tired or hurt during training as a little kid & she said he might get in trouble because he wasn’t Supposed to help her. Koyuki had friends anyway because she’s just that nice and determined but she wasn’t really SUPPOSED to and i don’t know how many people were close to her in like. A Warm Way Conducive To A Child Who Is Growing Up. Dororo is sort of Her Only Family, and he’s also the one Consistent part of her life - she had to say goodbye to all the people she’d known for her entire life when the ninja village was disbanded, and had to move on to a life completely different from anything she was used to, BUT Dororo had been living in the village for a few years (is the timeline I tend to go with) before that so she gets to have ONE properly familiar thing With her in her new life.

For dororo. First of all. Koyuki is the ONE person he knows that he has absolutely 0 grudge of any kind against. He’s at least a tiny little bit angry at everyone else he knows but koyuki has never done anything wrong to him ever in her life. She also like. Saved His Life. In the straightforward literal momentary sense and also in the existential metaphorical sense of when you experience a change so drastic that it completely changes you and then you look back and go I USED TO BE LIKE THAT?? THANK GOD I GOT OUT like . She literally saved his life when she found him caught in a trap which it has to be said was kind of a big deal for him already because he was taught to expect humans to be violent and cruel, don’t join the military. & she took him back to her village and took CARE of him and helped train him 2 be a ninja and indirectly/unintentionally showed him some of the Best of earth & humanity and the kinds of things he thinks are Beautiful and he got his life changed and threw the old life out and became someone he likes more. And she is always nice to him and is the one person who never forgets him :)

They just care about each other so much!!!! They both have other very close friends but they’re definitely each others closest friends on a very deep level. They consider it a Given that they are going to keep being best friends & family forever. Soulmates (familial)

favorite interaction they have in canon

NOOOOhow am i supposed to choose…. most of their interactions are really sweet or funny……. ummmm…. I like just sort of. Everything that’s about their friendship in 184. Koyuki noticing something is Weird with dororo and immediately spending her whole day making a protective charm for him. their friendship literally saving his life again in that koyuki (not for the first time) uses her awesome powers of Being Very Determined and Caring So So Deeply About Her Friends to overcome magic that’s supposed to be completely controlling her, & is able to just redirect her sword a little to hit the charm she made instead of hitting him.

Also I really like the scene in movie 2 where tamama goes “i feel like we’re forgetting someone” and koyuki immediately holds up dororo and goes “dororo’s here!” it’s really funny

favorite interaction they have in your head/a situation you want to put them in

I just think they deserve more family moments bc they very much are family. And I want to see more of dororo being koyukis wingman when she wants to spend time with natsumi. He’s already kinda done that once in the manga. Do it again. Help ur daughter get her rad gf

#THANKYOUUUUUUUUU IM LOVE THEM. as evidenced by the fact that theyre my icon andblog header.#basilask #i think it can joining the military for trauma #keron wa uchuu ichi… tabun

reading that "Blizz knocked out, lost memories" question made me remember my "OCvee" Hope the shiny sylveon and how I literally just snatched the "character gets amnesia and is completely different" from Blizz lmaooo. tbf i thought Blizz was evil when he was in the plex??? but recently i think not and he was actually the good guy?? idk. Dusk and Vay tell different stories.

anyway, why not tell Hope's edgy nonsensical backstory? her dad was a shiny that had a special gene that made all his kids shinies, so Hope and her bro Dream were shinies. but mom was a normal eevee and had an older litter of non-shinies, and she was killed by the evil lab ppl because that's useless. they kept Hope and Dream (they didnt have names at this point actually) together for a bit, putting them through extreme tests (idk why??? just to be evil?? they were trying to make them super obedient soldiers, like how Dusk described old Blizz at one point i think?), but at some point they got separated and Hope was devasted. she got put under super harsh conditions as the 'stronger' vee while Dream went off to.... not sure actually? i know he HAS kids with a shiny vulpix (one shiny eevee, two shiny vulpix/ninetales), but i dont know if thats cause he became a breeder vee or if he fell in love with the vulpix idk. i think both, and he had other kids but theyre not important/got taken away from him.

the mention of older non-shiny vee litters is important because one of those vees was Cream!!! who named himself that cause he has creamy fur. he saw the death of his mom and was very sad (even tho i think his mom was the one who tore half his face off? he has half his face ripped or burned off or something, blind and deaf in one eye/ear, but i canNOT remember how/why), but he (somehow??) discovered his younger (by like. a month? idk) siblings, or at least Hope. he wanted to save her/comfort her, so after her bro was taken away Cream was always there to talk to her between tests! (no clue why the scientists never... stopped him?? cause he was cute maybe lmao) but Hope Did Not Care For Him. ignored him most days, tolerated him on best days, and berated and attempted to attack him on worst days. sure, there were a few instances where she may have been kinder, but mostly she was just. the worst.

she was all edgy and cruel because, on one hand she had a bunch of experiments done on her, and on the other, she also was forced to fight a whole lot, and straight up murder other pkmn. like genuinely if you were told you were going to fight her, it was a death sentence. she was a killing device, because they were also trying to hone her unique powers (she knew moves that eevees cant know, ghost type i believe, which actually came from her mom who turned into a zombie/ghost idk. the details are fuzzy to me).

so one day Cream hears word of a group of escaping vees who've caused chaos, and Cream thinks this is the perfect opportunity to escape since the scientists are all frazzled. Hope ignores him at first but when she realizes she can actually escape, she bolts. Cream tries to help lead her, but she DOES NOT CARE or listen to his instructions, she's just running. at one point Cream tries to stop her and tell her there are vees that can help them over yander, and she just straight up kills him before he finishes his sentence. cause yeah.

and then i honestly have no idea what happens. right after killing her half-bro, she gets knocked out (falling? running into something? attacked by a mon? i think it might have been by the main vee Glaceon) and she. forgets literally everything. not only that but all her trauma, physical and mental, is magically gone somehow even tho amnesia cant erase patterns on the brain like that (well. it can but not blunt force trauma-induced amnesia usually i dont think).

she gets found by the other escaping vees, and taken in by the nicknamed Dee, an old eevee who is the father of most of the other vee-lutions in the group. her dad names her Hope because she "holds no trauma from that evil place and shows what our future could be." at first she's kind of quiet and odd, but slowly she opens up and becomes super hyper and happy and overly joyful, always wanting to put a smile on everyone's face. she even evolves into a sylveon because of this happiness and affection. no one in the group knows about her past, and think she's just some fortunate shiny vee that escaped (except maybe the Glaceon vee, who keeps a lot of secrets and is still in contact with the lab, and also 100% knows Hope has an obvious tracker on her ear, but doesnt say anything about it bcus Hail [the glaceon] knows that theres a tracker in his body too anyway). the only thing Hope can remember is the faint memory of a happy, laughing eevee that she knows is a) her brother and b) named "...ream." ...which is how she gets the idea that she has a brother named Dream.

sucks to be Cream, I guess.

(sorry this is so long lmaooo i just kept writing)

Author Chan: Ngl this was a very interesting read

okay okay time to talk about legends of tomorrow 5.07 “mr parkers cul-de-sac.” i watched it twice bc i liked it so much. it has lots of thoughts on love and its consequences, and what you’re willing to do for love. all that mushy stuff hehe.

fun to have damien darhk back as a guest star for this episode. i think he is always most sympathetic when the focus is on his love for his daughter, and this episode really leans into that. i like that we get him back for this episode now that we have seen this radical change and development in nora as she has been allowed to grow outside of her father’s influence and she has taken control of her life. like it’s definitely the most interesting time to bring him back. and i like that they bring him back not as a master manipulator villain but as a dad. because again that ended up being the most compelling aspect of his character when he was last on the show. they do of course showcase the villain aspect of him when he has his wizard battle with constantine and then again when he finds out the truth and attacks all the legends, and i think that works well too. good balance of silly and cruel. when he commits suicide at the end that did really get to me. and i like that even after he has made up with the legends sara still refuses to shake his hand bc hes still the man who killed her sister. that feels right for her.

it’s been sort of running in the background this season but this storyline of nora taking control of her life and finding a sort of healing and catharsis in helping children is so excellent. it’s often shown as being kind of silly bc shes in this ridiculous costume granting children frivolous wishes but on a deeper level it is also so touching. i think it makes perfect sense for her to be confronted with her father again now, because part of what she is healing from is his negative influence on her, and yet there is still so much love between them. nora finally getting the courage to tell her dad that she isn’t the person he wanted her to be, but she is happy and thriving, is like the natural conclusion of her arc of personal reinvention. and then they talk it out and it all turns out well :) i mean damien ends up back in hell but that’s kind of where he belongs so it’s fine.

despite being a lesbian i AM a big fan of the ray/nora romance and it was sweet to see how much they love each other in this episode. there is something sort of strange about how their relationship struggle in this episode sort of feels like a gay cliche even though theyre straight?? like how nora is hiding ray from her father bc he wouldn’t accept him, and how that little kid tells ray that you shouldn’t be ashamed of who you love. idk i thought it was kind of funny. often in these cw shows i get a bit annoyed at how characters will be so quick to propose marriage but in this case i think it makes sense with ray and nora. they already kind of were acting like a married couple and they just are so good together. their impromptu wedding was so cute. the ending of the episode hints that ray is gonna leave the team, which would be sad because i like him, but it makes sense that getting married would necessitate leaving the team.

i wasn’t liking the mick/ally romance bc i am a believer in gay mick theory but i did enjoy the revelation that mick has a daughter now. it just feels like a fun and unique challenge for him to have to face. the scene where he is eating cake and zari criticizes him for running from the truth made me really feel for him. because he claims that he’s staying away because he would be a bad influence on his daughter, but really we know that he’s staying away because this kind of relationship is so new to him and he’s scared. even though mick is often a very silly character i think the more serious emotional stuff with him can be very impactful so i’m excited to see how this storyline goes. there’s also something sort of poignant about zari being the one to witness this family reunion and then urge mick to go be in his daughter’s life, since as we know zari 1.0 lost her family and changed history to bring them back.

i’m noticing this motif of circles. i noticed it first in 5.05 when constantine gets lung cancer and we get the match cut of the hell lady messing with his soul token to the shot of him lying on the floor that has a circular design. and i thought that was just a one time thing but then in the next episode constantine has a circular rug that ray pulls aside to reveal a pentagram and i was thinking hmm. and then in this episode there’s all this talk of circles in the mr parker’s cul-de-sac theme song, about how circles represent eternity, so now i’m positive there’s something there. plus i remembered in 5.05 the young ghost versions of constantine and natalie we see are weaving on a circular loom. and then at the beginning of this episode the illustration of the loom of fate we see is sort of cylindrical or circular. it’s all connected!!!!!! since circles have this symbolic meaning of eternity or of the cycle of death and rebirth i think it makes a lot of sense for legends to use it as a motif. i will be on the lookout for circles in upcoming episodes!!!!

ok that’s all for this post. i have more to say about sara & ava but i’ll save that for its own post. but yeah this episode was such a favorite of mine even though it was a lot of silly shenanigans i just really enjoyed all the love and mushiness.
