Hi! I accidentally submitted a response for the Hazbin matchups when submissions were closed, im sorry. In case you didn’t receive it, here’s mine again :)
My name is Aster. Im bisexual and demisexual. I mostly think romantically about male characters. I’m a huge theater kid, would like to go into directing/playwriting. I’m quite reserved and don’t like loud environments. Would rather stay home and read than go out drinking. I sit in the corner writing an entire script into my notebook from memory.
I have ADHD and many symptoms of autism.
I cannot understand sarcasm most of the time, and I need to take most everything seriously. You can find me picking at my finger pads all the time and having violent mental breakdowns because I can’t figure out a math problem :). I think I’m a very lovely person, people just need to stay and look past my self-destruction. I either sleep til 3pm or not at all
Style: Some say I dress like Kurt Cobain. I cannot go anywhere without my shirt tucked in, a musical sweater, and my tote bag. My earbuds are my security item. I have medium length brown hair, hazel eyes, kinda big nose, braces and glasses.
I have huge daddy issues. I’ve seen Zal Owen as a father figure for as long as I can remember. I don’t have any siblings and am not close at all with any family other than my parents.
Love: I love physical touch!! Kiss me, cuddle me, hold by hand, etc. I also love acts of service. I’m such a sucker for romance and intimacy. Like, let me sit so close in public that I can smell your gum. Rose filled bubble bath just for us, hell yeah. I’m so used to being forgotten or discarded socially so I just kinda need THAT person to actually give a shit. I’ve had my heart constantly broken since I was eight. I need a lot of reassurance and care. I’d like a partner/bestie who is invested in my special interests (can talk to about a show, can harmonize properly with, etc). I’m very very clingy, let’s just say that. I can talk for literal hours about my interests and tell you all the info you need about anything Broadway.
I like to see the good in everyone, and will always try my best to help and be the one to love and support others when they’re not getting any, even if we’re strangers. There are some people I just loathe, though.
Hobbies: I play piano and ukulele. I have huge appreciation for music, and love analyzing it. I love writing and sketching, though I’m not the best at either. I just watch a lot of YouTube and sing a lot of showtunes outside alone on my swings after a long day of socializing.
hey aster!! i didn’t get a request from you so i don’t think i got it haha anyway, i decided to pair you with…
Angel Dust !!
Tumblr media
Angel doesn’t mind staying home with you because honestly, after a long day of shooting, going out to party isn’t his number on priority it’s Fat Nuggets you
As much as I don’t think Angel’s too love language is physical touch, he wouldn’t shy away from giving it to you
I can see him going to shows with you as well, Angel gives me heavy theater kid vibes, tbh

Dad!Draco admiring you with the baby and toddler
baby, baby (draco malfoy)
A/N: heyo! Back again w Dad!Draco, who i am an absolute sucker for. I had to google “how to play with a baby” before writing bc i don’t rly understand children. To the nonny who requested, i hope you enjoy xoxo
Word Count: 1.3k
Summary: Dad!Draco has to take a couple of sick days from work but that also means he gets to spend more time with his beloved family. Fluff :))
Warnings: unedited, baby scorp cuteness, mentions of pregnancy, stomach flu?
----------
When Draco started rousing from his nap, it was already late in the afternoon. His body’s natural inclination to turn towards his wife took over despite his still dozing mind. After being married to Y/N for seven years and sleeping in the same bed for even longer, every time he woke up Draco felt this physical yearning for the warmth and intimacy that only being intertwined with her could provide. But today, he was disappointed. The cold sheets to his left brought him fully out of his sleep-induced haze.
Once Draco was fully awake, he used the bearing magic that was embedded into the intricate blood wards of their family home to locate his wife and child. It only took a second before he knew that Y/N and Scorpius were in the living room. Normally he wasn’t one to nap for hours while making his wife be solely responsible for their son, but Draco was still recovering from an exceptionally brutal stomach flu. He had stayed home from work for the last three days, trading his job at Malfoy Inc for saltine crackers, stomach cramps, heating pads, and an overzealous number of bathroom trips.
He stood up from the bed and padded out of the room in search of his family. When he neared the entrance of the rosy-tinted living room, he was graced by the sound of his child giggling and his wife idly talking. Standing in the doorway, he breathed in the sight of the two people who he loved with every inch of his battered heart. The floor-length French windows were slightly ajar, letting in the breeze of summer and the scent of peaches. The sunset coming in painted the room with the blush of a rose petal and the bloom of sedation. 
You were sitting on the creme-colored couch, bouncing Scorpius on your knees. He had just turned one-year-old a couple of weeks ago, and already he was starting to lose some of his chunky baby fat which you and Draco both adored. But he was still the cutest baby in your eyes, with or without his chubby baby legs. With his cherub cheeks, bright eyes, and wispy tufts of the distinct Malfoy hair, no other baby could compare. You sat with your back facing the doorway, so you didn’t notice Draco until Scorpius started squirming away from you and let out a very enthusiastic “Da! Dada!” 
Draco let out a jovial laugh when he saw the big toothy grin on his son’s face. He immediately held out his arms to steal Scorp from his mother. 
“Hey buddy!” Draco responded to him with the same amount of energy. “What have you been up to today?” He talked to Scorp like an adult, treating his noises as real answers. 
Scorpius babbled. 
“Oh really? You know, I took a pretty good nap too today.”
More babbling. 
“Well, why don’t we go to the pond tomorrow?”
Scorpius continued.
“Of course buddy, it’ll be warm out tomorrow.”
He moved to sit down next to you, giving you a pillowy kiss and wrapping the arm that wasn’t holding a toddler around you. Draco couldn’t help but stare. The fading sunshine glowed upon you with romantic affection. You were ethereal to him. He looked at you the way every girl dreamed of being looked at. And the depth of his eyes held promises. Promises that there was no one in the world he would rather see and be with than you. 
“Hey mama,” his soft words reverberated with the utmost tenderness.
This time you leaned over to kiss him. As your lips touched his, he felt a murmur of enchantment somewhere in his body. It felt a bit like healing and a bit like elation, but he was too peaceful to bother pinpointing. 
“How are you feeling, sweetheart? Is your stomach still hurting?” you were still concerned over his health despite him looking much better than before he went to nap. 
“I feel better, I think it’s run its course,” he answered matter-a-factly. 
Your conversation remained brief because Scorpius let out a whine. Probably because neither of his parents was giving him attention.
You turned your attention to your son. You danced your fingers on his cheeks, making him let out a precious giggle. As Draco watched, he felt the bells of sunshine ring in his heart, a feeling only explicable by the child in his arms and wife at his side. 
The two of you moved to the floor of the couch and continued to play with Scorp. It wasn’t before long though when he decided that his favorite ferret stuffed animal was more entertaining than his parents and crawled away to play with it. With Scorp occupied, Draco decided this was the perfect time to talk to you about something he’d been ruminating over.
“I have something to talk to you about,” he started. 
You took in an over-exaggerated gasp, “Are you breaking up with me?” you said with no real distress. 
He went along with you, “That’s actually the second thing I want to talk to you about.”
“Ok well, what’s the first?”
He took in a deep breath, as if slightly nervous. “I think I want to step down from Malfoy Inc for a little while and spend more time at home with you two.” 
You turned to fully face him. You were elated at the possibility but a bit hesitant in case he hadn’t fully thought it through yet.
“I’d love to have you home more, I’m sure Scorp does too,” you paused, “but you love your job.”
“But I love you guys more. A lot more actually,” there was no wavering in his affirmation. 
“You won’t get bored being at home all day?” you pushed a bit more. 
“I was planning on picking up some of my old alchemy projects. And you remember all the notebooks Severus left me?” 
You did.
“I think it’d be good to finish some of his potions research.”
You agreed. 
“I’ve honestly been thinking about stepping down for a while and being at home these last three days just really reminded me of how much I miss every day. He’s growing up so fast. And I miss being home with you and Scorp.”
“I miss having you home too, I miss you all the time.” You almost laughed at how clingy you sounded. “So if you want to step down, I won’t be the one to stop you.”
He gave you that smile, the one that was reserved only for you. “I guess I’m quitting my job,” he sounded nonchalant but the excitement was obvious in the smile lines of his eyes. 
“One stomach flu and you’re ready to quit your job. I’d hate to see what a migraine does to you,” you teased.
“Shut up,” he feigned offense. “Merlin, Y/N I threw up so much I finally understand how you felt when you were pregnant.”
You gave him a questionable look. “For some reason, I doubt it.” The room filled with Draco’s laughter again. 
“Speaking of pregnancy…” he shifted closer to you, slowly gliding his large hand onto your belly. “I want to put another baby in here.”
“You are just full of ideas today.” He was about to open his mouth to persuade you further, when you continued, “But I can’t say that’s a bad one.”
A boyish grin took his face. 
Then, taking you both by surprise, a loud grumble came from Draco’s midsection. You both stilled and looked at each other for a couple of seconds before he groaned and started whining. Pulling his hand away from your belly, he moved to cradle his own. And you laughed, you laughed an absurd, charming little laugh because you couldn’t get over how Draco’s whining sounded exactly like Scorpius’.

( I want Mikan to have wheelies to escape her feelies) to Celeste, Komaru and Usami, it's the anon that asked you guys individual asks but it was about a crush. so I have been singing a lot more than usual about my feelings and I'm really sad, I don't think my crush is really interested in me anymore. I mean we talk and stuff but there hasn't been an "I love you" from either of us in a long time and we used to say it all the time (1/??)
Tumblr media
Welcome back, anon! It’s so nice to see you again. I may have many students, but I recognize you instantly, almost like when I instantly recognize the exact freshness of carrots. Anyway, if comfort is what you want, then your teacher shall give you as much comfort as they can!
Tumblr media
I hate to hear that things between you and your crush haven’t been the greatest; hearing that things have been a bit on the awkward, quiet side between you two makes me frown. I can understand why you’re getting anxious over this situation, so if it’s reassuring at all, do know that this isn’t your fault at all. I know you’re not outright blaming yourself in this ask or anything, but I figured I’d say it anyway. Oh, and I must reassure you that by commenting on their posts or interacting with them in other ways doesn’t nor won’t make you annoying at all. You care about them, after all; it only makes sense that you want to interact with them. And while I can understand you feeling like you’re too clingy, I can safely reassure you that you’re not! Yes, you crave their attention and love talking to them, but you’re not constantly on their shoulders. And believe me, considering I’m a high school teacher, I’ve seen all kinds of examples of clingyness before. Take my fellow student, Kazuichi Souda, for example. Poor Miss Sonia; all she wants is some quality time with the others, and he’s always on her like a bunch of bears to a pot of golden honey...
Tumblr media
Fear not, my dear anonymous student, for I have hope that their feelings won’t fade away. I can tell that you’re an amazing person who cares, so I have hope for you. If you want one, how about a hug? Then if you want, I can give you a gold star sticker and make you some ramen noodles. Most of my students are total suckers for that, I swear; nothing like a bowl of piping hot ramen to make you feel better! I’ll let some of my students give you more comfort, but I can only hope that what I’ve said sticks in your mind, like hot pink glitter to hot glue! I hope you take care of yourself, and I’ll be here if you ever return!
Tumblr media
--
Oh, I remember you! It’s nice to see you back, anon. Usami sort of covered a good chunk of it, so I’ll just try my best to give you more comfort. I can only hope that my advice isn’t as average as myself...
Tumblr media
I would also like to say that I have hope that their feelings aren’t going to fade away any time soon, or at all. I practically stand by everything that Usami said. I have hope that this is going to get resolved soon, and that both you and your crush will be okay. I would suggest pulling your crush aside and having a one-on-one with them whenever you get the chance, whether that be physically or via texting; whichever way is easier for the two of you. But I understand that that’s way easier said than done, so for now, try to remain hopeful. If you need to, vent to someone you can trust, or try journaling. Try to occupy your mind with whatever hobbies you have, or look up comfort image. Just know that me and Usami, along with the others, will give you as much hope as you need. You’re going to get through this, anon! I’ll slash through your anxiety’s words! 
Tumblr media
Heh, see what I did there? A-Ah, um, nevermind, moving on now. I know you just got a hug from Usami despite not specifically asking for one, but if hugs make you feel even just a little bit better, I shall give you a hug as well! I just love hugs, and they always make me feel a bit better, so I hope that they make you feel better, too. Now then, it’s now time for that one goth girl to give her input. The one who’s beautifully intimating... and the one who likes to lie a lot, especially to my brother. Ah, Celeste... such a fitting name for someone like her. A-Anyway, let me give you that hug and then head right off; th-that girl’s eyes practically pierce right through me and make me tremble in my shoes...
Tumblr media

Hello my dear, yes I remember you. This seems to be a common worry with a lot of relationships, so thankfully I believe I do have at least a few ideas on how to help you out. Firstly let me say I am pleased to hear that you've been singing more. It seems to be an activity that you greatly enjoy, and hopefully you can find some comfort in that.
Tumblr media
One thing I thought of when reading your ask was maybe you don't interact with each other enough. Something as small as liking a post is hardly annoying, and in this strange age of social media, sometimes not liking a post can send a completely different message. It sounds to me like you've completely stopped interacting, and that may make it look like you're the one who's losing interest. There's no shame in doing small things like liking posts or starting conversations. I've said this before, but communication is the way to go with these things.
Tumblr media
Sitting there and worrying isn't going to solve anything, and will only make you feel worse most likely. I full heartedly recommend asking to talk with them, and when you do, bring up everything you've mentioned to me here. They're good things to talk about, and clearing up all of these thoughts and worries will be helpful to you. I do have to be honest here and say that not all relationships are meant to last. You might end up going your separate ways, and that's perfectly alright. That's just the way things go sometimes. But honestly my dear, I'm fairly certain that if you talk this out, things will be just fine. You really haven't done anything wrong, communication is hard. Trust me, I know. Personally, I don't think you're clingy. However, you do need to ask your partner if you are. They have the answers you need, so please ask, it will help. I hope I've done alright answering this for you my dear. I truly wish you all the best, I believe everything will turn out ok.

Writing Influences Part 3
Romance Lessons with Edgar Rice Burroughs, Yaoi Manga, and Chinese Dramas
Stop looking at me like that, I’m sure you’re thinking WTF?  I would be too, if I hadn’t lived it.  But they are the hugest influences on the romances you find in my writing.  If you find any of my stories romantic (and since some of them are, y'know, romances, I hope you do) then these are the source of that.
Nobody does romance like Burroughs.  Which most people reading this will probably think sounds crazy. Just let me ask, though:  Have you ever read Tarzan?  No, not watched it, read it.  Well, you have to get past the dark parts of the story first. Scalps getting ripped; attempted cannibalism.  And that would be the ape tearing Tarzan’s scalp, and the European Count who’s more than willing to resort to cannibalism to survive being adrift on the ocean. Bet you didn’t even know that was in there, did you? I had no idea how dark the tale was myself until I picked it up in my early twenties.  Sure, I knew Tarzan, I thought. I’d watched the movies after all. Oh, wow, how innocent every movie has ever made the story seem.
Burroughs writing is not innocent. His stories are dark and raw and breathtaking.  Tarzan kills an ape with his bare hands, and Jane kisses him for it.  Modern heroines be damned, Jane had more balls than half of them.
But Tarzan isn’t even my favorite of Burroughs romances. That honor is reserved for David Innes and Dian the Beautiful.  Pellucidar. My favorite book of all time.  Given it was written in 1915, once again modern heroines could learn from Dian. Heck, modern romance needs to stop being so squishy and remember how to be honestly romantic.  When a book from 1915 has the male lead realizing who someone who’s come to help them is by thinking along the lines of: “This was Dian, my Dian, fiercely attacking anyone who dared to threaten her mate”, how can you not be delighted?  Dian kicked ass, she attacked a freaking Carnivorous Dinosaur to protect David.  And David’s thoughts toward the end of the book that he doesn’t care if he fails at his goals or loses his title as King cuz he has the greatest gift of all, Dian?  Be still my heart.
These were romance where neither party were weak and clingy, and yet both were very human.  Given to mistakes, jealousy, and pride.  They were awesome. And, eff, I wanted my romances to be that awesome.
You’re probably thinking, Yaoi manga taught you romance?  But, it’s true. Once again, at least the ones I liked anyhow, you had two people with flaws. They made mistakes, they got jealous, they were downright petty at times, and they kept effin loving each other. Gender of romantic couples didn’t matter half as much as the story itself. And the stories were captivating, and the romances were fantastic.  Through trials, tribulations, and occasionally very dark plotlines (sensing a theme?), the two characters would come to realize how much they loved each other and wanted to be there for the one another. They influenced each other’s lives and how they chose to live it. They supported one another during their darkest hours, and laughed together during the better ones. There was a realism to that lacking in a lot of romantic fiction.
Chinese Drama romances are epic.  And I mean that. Epic Romance.  They manage to have a romance without making you feel that is all there is to the story, but also avoid the feeling of - oh, they threw a romance in? Chinese Drama romances are interwoven into the story.  Just as important as the rest of the tale, because character A wouldn’t be there, or wouldn’t have come to understand things about themselves or the world without the romance they share with character B. Yet never letting it overtake the story to the point that the rest of the plot becomes secondary.
Both characters are usually put through hell on earth, tortured, separated, feel betrayed by each other, and reunited. And there’s a catch phrase.  There’s always a freakin’ catch phrase, or fancy line, or promise, that comes back later. It’s promised, it’s broken, it’s re-promised. It’s… chinese dramas have some of the best romances you’ll ever get from TV. Period.  (Um…conversely, it also has the worst. You do not want to get me started about Return of the Condor Heroes.  That’s not love, that’s psychosis.  Duel Yandere… or something…)
So betwixt all these influences, the bottom line came down to…put your characters through hell, don’t make either party a useless clinger, make the romance part of the plot not just a tag on, and don’t forget that - in the end - Love Conquers All. Cheesy as the last colloquialism is. We’re all suckers for it in the end.

Have you always known what you’ve wanted to do with your life, career-wise? Not exactly, although I’ve always kind of hovered in the same general area. I always wanted to write in some form.
If you found out you couldn’t bear children, would you be willing to adopt? That’s actually always been a consideration of mine. I love the idea of adoption and it has nothing to do with my potential ability (or inability) to conceive. 
Would you stay at a haunted hotel? You couldn’t even PAY me to do that. 
Could you live without the Internet? I couldn’t, especially not now. Not a chance in hell.
Do you always remember to bring a towel? Into the shower? Generally yes but that’s only because I keep a towel on the shower rod and use the same one for a couple days. 
Spiders: Kill them or let ‘em go? I weirdly like spiders so I just let them be if I see one inside. I take it as a sign of good luck!
How do you feel about Paris Hilton? I used to love The Simple Life and I’m not ashamed to say it! That bitch is hilarious. 
When drunk, are you: violent, crazy, clingy, talkative, or depressed? I could be any one of those on that list besides violent. 
Do you know who is on the $5000 bill? (yes, it does exist!) No clue. And seeing as I’ll never see one in my life, I couldn’t care less.
What is the best HAND-MADE present you’ve ever received? I’m a sucker for handmade gifts so ALL of them are my favorite. It’s the best kind of present!
Do you Yahoo? My personal email is Yahoo. 
Have you ever gotten pizza delivered to your house that you didn’t order? No but that would be a dream come true. 
What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve ever encountered while at a hotel? Hm, I thankfully haven’t had any experience I’d describe as “disgusting.” None that come to mind anyways... 
What would you do if Hugh Hefner hit on you? He dead. 
Is the price always right? It rarely ever is
Do you smell what the Rock is cookin’!?!? OH HELL YAS 
Are you gullible? Yeah, common sense isn’t always my strong suit. 
What’s the craziest rumor you’ve heard about Marilyn Manson? Didn’t we all hear that rumor that he removed his ribs so he could suck his own dick? Where the fuck did that even come from? 
(Insert random song lyric of your choice here): PLEASE TELL ME WHY MY CAR IS IN THE FRONT YARD AND IIIIIII’M SLEEPING WITH MY CLOTHES ON (This song has been stuck in my head recently for reasons I cannot understand)
Does unneccessary punctuation annoy you? I’m guilty of it myself!!! Sometimes!!
Do you know anyone who was born on leap year? Mhm 
Do you follow a 5-second rule after dropping food on the floor? I admit it, I have been known to eat floor food once in awhile. I don’t wanna waste it!! 
Do you think that only unclean people get head lice? Hasn’t it been proven that lice thrive in CLEAN environments? 
Are you skilled with balls? (like basketball or baseball, you perv!) Not even a little bit. 
Did you take Flintstone vitamins or any others as a child? Oh yes and they were weirdly yummy.
What types of things do you think the government is hiding from us? Quite a lot
What would you do if the Kool-Aid man busted through your wall? I’d lose my shit, what else?? 
Have you ever been to an art museum? They’re one of my favorite attractions
How do you like your soda: Nothing beats a fountain drink with a straw! But Coke out of a can is bomb too. Plastic bottles are a last resort.
Do you recycle? I admit I’m not so great at that.
Can one person really make a difference? Absolutely. Just one person can have a major impact, for better or worse.
Which is worse: elevators or escalators? Elevators are far worse, of course. 
Ring the bell for service or wait patiently for a minute first? I’d wait a few minutes, probably a lot longer than needed. But the thought of ringing a bell feel so... douchey. 
Boomerang or Cartoon Network? No preference
Have you learned anything valuable today? I learned about some extra money that I’ll supposedly be getting from this stimulus package on top of my unemployment. If it pans out the way I think it will, it will be a TREMENDOUS help.
What’s your favorite kind of Doritos? Nacho Cheese might be my ultimate favorite but Cool Ranch is bomb too. Glenn loves the Flamin Hot Nacho kind and I’ve been sneaking a couple lately. I’m thankful they’re a little too spicy for me because I can’t eat more than a few. It prevents me from overeating!
If you had a time machine, would you go to the past or to the future? Ehhh, I wouldn’t do either as of now. Which is funny because the state of affairs right now is terrible.
What if Darth Vader was YOUR father? He might be
Do you honestly know how to play Monopoly or just make up rules as you go? I rarely ever play board games exactly by the rulebook. 
Be honest…ever peed in the pool? Uh yeah
Do you ever fathom the amount of words in the English language? The number grows everyday 
Have you ever pulled a fire alarm? Absolutely not
Do brain teasers tickle, confuse, or fascinate your brain? Fascinate and confuse
You’re hungry. All there is to eat is stale chips. Eat 'em or not? I *frequently* do this as it is. 
Have you had your tonsils removed? Mhm, when I was very very young. 
If Ashton Kutcher punk’d you, would you feel the need to punch him? I’m not really a good sport when it comes to pranks. But then again, if I was on Punk’d that would mean I was rich and famous so maybe less would bother me.
Have you ever fallen off of a treadmill while walking/running? I have not. Which is very funny considering my clumsy ass. 
Do you drink milk right from the bottle/carton, or pour yourself a glass? I drank it directly out of the jug when I lived alone but I can no longer do that.
Isn’t Chef Boyardee awesome? Awesome is a strong word. I did like it as a kid though. 
Do you like marshmallows in your hot cocoa? Nah
What reality show has been taken WAY too far? Like.... all of them? 
If you were going on a trip, would you Mapquest the directions first? Boy, this is an old survey! We have GPS and Google maps now. No need for mapquest directions. 
Do you hide when Jehovah’s Witnesses knock on your door? OH GOD. I used to have a Jehovah’s Witness who stalked me at my Starbucks job. I had permission from my bosses to hide in the back kitchen when he was in the store.
Did you ever think any of your teachers were HOT? A large number of them. I love educated men and men in positions of authority so that’s a lethal combo.
White Castle: nasty or absolutely yummy?! I’ve never had it. And seeing as I don’t think they have any vegetarian options I probably never will
Must you grab a souvenir from almost everywhere you go? Nah, I’m not really a souvenir person.
Have you ever walked out on a movie at the theater? Which one? I don’t think so
Did you enjoy making things out of Play-Doh as a child? Absolutely! I loved any kind of crafty project as a kid
