Hiiiii
I love love love your writing and i was wondering if you could write something about jj x reader and reader is very easily exciteable ( like scatterbrain adhd) and talks alot and slowly Kie gets more and more irritated with reader and then she finally snaps and screams how reader is so annoying? And the boys are gobsmacked and JJ especially. I promise i dont have anything personal against Kie i love her but i dont think she would like me very much lmao😭😭
Thank you sm🤭🫶
Tumblr media
Thank you so much my baby starfish, you're so sweet to me <3
This started really strong, then I got a lil lost in the sauce, so here you have 3.6k of JJ x Reader. I hope you like it 💖💖💖 r loves dinosaurs
CWs: Swearing, yelling, Kiara being mean, John B's dad is alive because I just can't hurt that poor boy but he's only mentioned once
JJ liked getting her alone. Every chance he could, getting them away from their respective friend groups, with their prying eyes and loud opinions. It was his favorite place to be, alone, with her. They’d been together for a solid while, getting together right before spring break. The pogues wondered where he’d been the whole week, after too many unanswered texts blowing up the group chat he gave in…and told them he was holed up at home, hotboxing his bedroom for the foreseeable future. Not that it was entirely a lie, it just wasn’t entirely true either. 
He introduced her to the rest of them at the beginning of the summer, a little reluctantly since they’d planned a date but forgot to actually plan anything. So with no other option, since JJ had no food in his house and y/n’s a/c broke, they went to the Wreck. 
Unfortunately for JJ, Kiara was working and Pope and John B had just gotten back from helping Mr. Hayward with something or another. JJ entirely forgot both of these things and only just remembered as he saw the Twinkie in the parking lot. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“What?” She pulled his helmet off of her head but didn’t get off the bike yet. 
“All my friends are here.”
“That’s a bad thing? I’ve met them all before.” She had; she helped John B pass his last Spanish test and was in a study group with Pope for their Civics class. Kiara knew her from Biology, she’d stay after every class to talk with their teacher about everything but what they just discussed in class.
“Yeah, but they’ve never met you as my…” he trailed off and she slid herself under his arm, putting herself in front of him, tossing her legs over his and leaning back on the handlebar between his arms.
“You can say girlfriend.” He fixed her helmet hair in a lame attempt to distract her from his shy smile. She scrunched her nose at the tickle of his calloused fingertips against her skin. “Oh right, you can’t say it without blushing.”
“Hell yeah I can.” He kept his hands on her cheeks and moved both of their heads in opposite directions to keep the sun out of her eyes.
“Say it then, Pretty,” she put her face real close to his with his hands stuck to her cheeks, nudging his nose once so he’d look up and she could kiss right under his jaw. She leaned back just slightly and held his forearms. “Girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend.”
“Girlfriend,” one kiss to her forehead, “girlfriend,” another to her nose, “firlgriend,” a final one to her lips. Not quite a kiss since she was smiling so hard at his mistake. 
“What?”
“You made me mess up, that was not my fault.”
“How did I make you mess up?”
“By being so damn cute.” He started kissing all over her face, her neck, her collarbones. 
“That’s what got you?”
“You always get me.”
“You trying to put the moves on me, Maybank?” She pulled him back up from her neck by a tug to his hair.
“Depends, is it working, l/n?”
“Are you trying to distract me so we can go somewhere else knowing full well that there is nowhere else?”
He let his head fall back against her clavicle with a long, exaggerated groan. “So it’s not working?”
“No, sorry,” she tilted her head to the side with faux sympathy, he thought she looked like a puppy. “Please? I’m starving.” He braced his hands behind himself so he could lean back and give her room to swing her leg over. He followed it with his eyes with no shame, to which she could only scoff a laugh.
When he finally regained his composure, “Can’t have my firlgriend starving, now could I darlin’?”
“I’m sending you back. I don’t even remember where I got you but I’d like a refresher on the return policy.”
“Ha. Ha. Ha. You’re really hilarious. I swear, you should take it on the road or somethin.” He said in a single tone. They started walking into the restaurant and he still held out his hand to her. 
She laid her head on his shoulder just before they made it to the door. “But you love me?” 
“Fuck yeah I love you.” He turned to kiss her head but it was more his cheek to her head and a kiss to the air above it. She loved it just the same.
“Good, I love you too.” She kissed his shoulder and was glad the heat permitted such skin to show, no sleeves in the way of her boy’s skin. 
“Alright, come on.” He almost dragged her into the restaurant but it was more of a rush to get himself in there.
Kiara was at the hostess stand and smiled when she saw him, the corner of her lip twitched twice when he saw who he was with, once at the hand he was holding and again at the girl it was attached to. Yet she still recovered quickly and kept up the perfect customer service act. “Hey Kie, how’s today been? Yeah? You know what I’d love, is if you could uh, get us a table at the back, kinda quickly?”
“What’s the rush, Jay?” She gathered two menus and started guiding them back.
“Don’t worry about it. Just-please?”
“M-hmm.” She sat them at a dimly lit table in the back corner and JJ helped y/n up into the continuous booth with the circular table. She thanked him with a smile and he slid in next to her, resting a hand on her thigh, warm skin under his rough touch.
“Thank you,” y/n smiled brightly at Kiara and picked up her menu. Kiara gave JJ a look that she couldn’t see with the menu in front of his face What are you doing? He returned it with a grave look, Let me have my last 10 minutes with her to myself in peace.
“Martha will be right over with your waters.”
JJ nodded and Kiara got the hint finally. 
John B and Pope came out of the kitchen with their little trays of free food. “We heard JJ’s bike pull up. He here?” Pope tossed a thumb over his shoulder to the dining area. 
“Yeah, actually-” they started walking away to go find him but she pulled them back by their shirt collars. “But, I think he’s on a date.”
“A date?” John B asked.
“Yeah, that doesn’t sound like him. You sure we’re talking about the same guy?” Pope held up a hand to approximately JJ’s height. “Yea tall, perpetually sweaty, doesn’t own a single sleeve in his whole wardrobe, different day different girl, JJ?”
“That’s the one. He’s in the back…Waaaaiit, wait wait. Don’t go yet, let them at least get their waters first.”
“Who’s he with?”
“Do we know her?”
“I don’t know if you do. I had biology with her. Y/n? L/n?”
Both of their jaws went slack. John B nearly dropped his fries. “Her?”
“You’re kidding.”
“Like she’d ever go for him, she’s too…” John B shook his hand thinking the words would come to him.
“Nice, kind, morally upright?” Pope offered.
“Annoying?”
“No. When has she ever been annoying?”
“In bio, she’d always stay after and talk to Dr. Dyer about literally everything besides biology.”
“Kie, I hate to break it to you,” John B put a hand on her shoulder, “I really do. But I don’t see what any of that has to do with you.”
“Because she’s just so…ugh excited. All the time.”
“As if JJ isn’t exactly the same.”
“They’re in the back you said?”
“Yeah, in the corner. Wait- I didn’t tell you that!” But they already had all the information they needed and were half way over there already.
JJ saw them wave as they approached then put his head on the table with a groan. They saw her try to coax him up with a hand scratching over his back and some nice words they couldn’t hear. And then they saw everything they needed to when she raised her other hand to wave and JJ’s bracelet was on her wrist. Oh, John B’s face said to Pope’s, This is serious.
But that didn’t stop them. “Hey guys, funny running into you two here.” John B announced, extra loudly just for JJ’s sake since his head was still down. He and Pope slid into the round booth on the other side of y/n. She pushed JJ up by the shoulder but his chin was still to his chest.
“Wow, must have really worn him out.” Pope said, followed by a stolen one of John B’s fries.
“Looks like it. You gonna make it hotshot?” 
He looked up sharply to flick his hair out of his face. She pushed it back and while they were so focused on each other the other two boys gave each other looks Oh shit, this is real serious.
“I’ll make it.” He let out a long and exasperated groan. “Pope, John B, this is my firlgriend.” Completely an honest mistake but he was just happy it made her laugh. “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t-”
“No, I know you didn’t.” He squeezed her thigh and continued.
“This is my girlfriend.” Oh, real real serious. 
“Took you long enough,” referring to how many tries it took him to get it right, not hiding their relationship. She actually didn’t mind it, she liked having him all to herself. “Good boy,” she pushed herself up to kiss his cheek and he leaned into it. She stayed looking up at him with a smile and the boys were waiting for him to look disgusted, grossed out, something, anything he’d usually do with girls that got too affectionate; but it never came. He was looking at her the same way he looks at a great swell of a wave, like she was an adventure, something he wanted to take on and knew he could. They saw it in his eyes and then, this kid blushed. This girl made JJ Maybank blush, hard.
“So what have you guys been up to?” JJ pulled her closer with an arm around her waist and she leaned back into him so she could face the boys. 
They talked about so many things and she was so animated and genuinely interested in what they had to say. She liked hearing about Pope’s dreams and aspirations, asking him so many questions about his scholarship and what kind of career he wants. John B told her about the theories he and his dad have come up with about the shipwreck and the treasure. She was so easy to talk to and never bored. How could anyone be bored when the conversations moved so fast. Every time Kiara walked by it was something new. Mr. Hayward’s business, Pope’s scholarship, what he wants to do after high school, John B’s Spanish final, who says ‘bon voyage’ the French or the Spanish, how different languages happened, Pangea, Panthalassa, what a fun word trapezoid is, how much the geometry teacher sucked, their favorite classes, the clubs she and Pope are in with both of them getting all excited about the ones they shared. 
“You should come to the chateau sometime,” John B suggested and she looked up at JJ over her shoulder, a silent what do you think?
“Yeah, it’d be fun,” all three of them picked up on his hesitancy. 
“Yeah?” He nodded surely in response. “You just tell me when.”
***
JJ loved getting her alone. Every minute with just her was heaven to him.
Unfortunately for both of them, he was under house arrest in purgatory. 
Pope and John B loved having her around. Kiara didn’t get the hype. “Kie, listen, it’s like having a puppy that can talk.” John B had had a few beers that were way higher percentages than he thought. 
“Don’t call my girlfriend a puppy, man.”
“Sor-*hiccup* sorry, but am I wrong? Pope, am I wrong?”
“Not really, like if she was a puppy her tail would always be waggin and shit and if she saw a leaf move she’d be like,” He turned around really fast and JJ thought he heard his neck crack.
“I still don’t get why that means she has to be over here all the time?”
“Do you have some sort of problem with her, Kie?” JJ asked, failing at holding the defensive tone off.
“No, I just mean why is she always around?”
“Because she’s my girlfriend, I like having her around and so do they. So kindly do me a favor and get the stick out of your ass. Hmm?” 
“Fine,” she put her hands up in surrender then leaned back in her seat, letting them all get back on with their evening.
***
By the end of the summer y/n was thoroughly convinced Kiara hated her. She’d hardly look at her and she’d never add anything to their conversations besides some snarky remark about how close it seems she and JJ have gotten. But she was never out right mean, y/n thought she was just reading into it too hard. 
They were back at the chateau, having some drinks to celebrate….something. Y/n couldn’t quite remember what. She was in JJ’s lap and he was talking to John B about cars or hydroponics, something. She didn’t know entirely but she was nodding along all the same. She was staring at his face, tracing his jaw with her eyes. She didn’t even notice she was doing it until he turned because of her finger tracing the curve then down his neck. He smiled at her, all soft and gentle and pretty. “What’re you up to, kid?”
She smiled back at him just the same lazy adorable way that she does when he catches her spacing out. “I’m older than you.”
“Barely, and that doesn’t answer my question.”
“You have a mole.” She put her finger back on it. “Right there. Since when?”
“Forever, probably.” He took her hand so carefully and held it in their laps instead, both of them twisting their fingers around the other’s like a kelp forest, slipping and sliding back and forth through the spaces between them.
“Forever? Really? I never noticed.”
“Ha- You never notice a lot of things.” Kiara mumbled loud enough for Big John to hear her inside. 
JJ’s fingers stilled, y/n just squeezed them tighter. Her smile fell for a second but she picked it right back up, looser, no teeth, not reaching her eyes or making the lines in her cheeks it usually does. “What do you mean?” JJ was going to cry with how small and innocently she said it.
“Hmm?”
“You said I don’t notice anything, what do you mean?”
“Nothing, don’t worry about it.” Kiara scratched her neck then took a strand of hair  to twist around her finger and check for split ends,
“I notice a lot of things,” she slipped off of JJ’s lap and into the seat next to him but let him keep their thighs pressed together. 
“I’m sure you do. Just like the note John B left to keep the door closed! Just like how Pope tells you over and over what his favorite color is! And when JJ obviously looks uncomfortable to anyone with eyes! You notice all that?! Of course you don’t, you’re so wrapped up in yourself you don’t know anything about anyone around you. All you ever do is talk about yourself, it’s sickening.”
“Ok,” she sniffed shallowly but JJ could still hear the shakiness in it, feel her leg bouncing against his. She can do this herself, JJ thought hopefully. She took a deep breath, “Seems like  we know what we all think of me now.” She started picking up the empty cups and cans within her arms reach. “John B, ‘s it ok if I ask your dad to take me home?”
“Uh, yea-”
“Hey, I’ll take you home.” JJ put a hand on her arm when she stood. She would only look at his hand, not his face. 
“No, it’s ok.” He could hardly hear her, something that rarely happened since she’d gotten comfortable with all of them. Well, almost all of them. He stood up, close enough that her arm was flush to his chest. She still didn’t look at him, only facing John B, pulling his cold glare from Kiara to her taught pout and watery eyes that broke his heart. “If he’s busy I can walk.”
“You’re not walking,” JJ tried to get her to look at him. She almost did but then Kiara started again.
“Maybe she should. Learn to do something for herself for once instead of getting someone else to do it for her, like she does every time.”
JJ pulled her to his chest and John B stepped in front of them. “Kie, I think you should go, man.”
“Right, like you guys haven’t been ditching me since JJ started bringing his new bitch around!” She flinched at the word and JJ pulled her closer. “Just make Kiara leave, right?! Not like I’ve been your best friend for years before she came around.”
“You wanna go?” JJ whispered into her ear. She didn’t trust herself to speak, she didn’t want to speak, so a nod would have to suffice. “Go wait inside.”
“Jay, no,” she weakly argued.
“I’ll be right out, please baby, just let me,” he left the end of his sentence hanging and let Pope guide her inside with a nod of gratitude.
John B was still trying to calm Kiara down, but JJ wasn’t into pleasantries. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you? Ever since you’ve started bringing her here you’ve been so distant, you’re so wrapped up in each other, it’s like you’re in your own little bubble and you never pay any attention to us anymore.”
“Could you stop speaking for me and Pope, Kie? Really. It’s enough,” John B sat back down while JJ and Kiara were getting in each other’s faces. 
“So you don’t find her so fucking grating you can’t even hear yourself think?”
John B pulled JJ back, just a bit further from her, “No-”
“No one thinks that! You think that because you’re so possessive over us for no reason! Kie, I’m happy with her, I love her. I love you guys too but not if you’re gonna be a fuckin psycho about it.”
“All I mean is-”
“All you mean is that you’re jealous, and you need to get the fuck over it.”
She scoffed at that, “I am not jealous, I’m not jealous. Why would you even say that?”
“Why would you say any of the shit you’ve said to her? Hmm? You can’t fuckin share. And I’m not asking you to.”
A strange look of relief flashed over her features, but was greatly short lived. 
“I’m telling you.”
“JJ, I-”
“I’m telling you, if you can’t figure out how to act like a normal fucking person then I’m not comin around.”
“I’m the normal one, she’s- she’s-”
Both boys looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to come up with a real negative about the kindest girl they’ve probably ever met, albeit the most distracted one.
JJ hummed when she couldn’t come up with anything. “Jombee, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“10:30 still?”
“You know I’m not up by then.” They did their handshake and JJ went inside while John B made Kiara sit back down and talk to him. Pope and y/n were leaned back against the counter, he had an arm over her shoulders and was finally able to calm her breathing. “Hey,” JJ came closer, slowly, so he didn’t startle them. “Hey, you feelin ok? Still wanna go?”
“Yeah,” she sniffed hard, “Yeah. You ok?”
“I will be when we get home.”
“Where’s home?”
“Wherever you want it to be.”
***
They rode back to her house on his bike. He carried her through the house, just to make her laugh, since she’d been so quiet. 
He threw her onto the bed then went through the shelves of DVDs, looking for the ones he was sure she’d like. “Not the Little Mermaid,” he pushed that one back in line.
“What? Why not the Little Mermaid?”
“Because she doesn’t talk, I want you to talk.”
“I don’t wanna talk, you do enough of that for the both of us.” He laughed a little at her attempt of a joke, but it was short lived once he realized what she really meant. 
“But I like your voice, I like what you have to say.”
“Yeah?” 
“Yeah, definitely.”
“About what?”
“About whatever you want.” She silently asked him for something more to go off of. “Here, tell me about this.” He handed her her weighted dinosaur and laid it on her chest.
“What about it?”
“Stop asking questions, start talking. Tell me why you like the squish feeling.”
“What do I get out of it?” He raised an eyebrow at another question but relented anyway.
“I’ll squish you.”
“Really?”
He nodded once, then thought if he looked at her smile any longer he’d melt, so he went to set the movie up.
“Your body is basically like, covered with touch receptors, and when they’re stimulated by, in this case squish, they release oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, all those. And those are all the happy hormones, the love hormones, aaannnd you love me but you’d love me more if you came over and squished me.”
He hit play then brought a blanket so he could lay down and she could curl into his side. “You love me more than your dinosaur?”
“Is that even a question?”
“Uh, yes?”
“Of course I love you more than dinosaurs,” she nudged herself up to kiss his jaw that she could reach. “Dinosaurs can’t squish me, Silly, they’re extinct.”
(thank you so much for reading, please please please let me know if you want a part 2 and support your creators!!! ok??? (maybe not me, i kinda suck and only realized i never copied the last line over like 4 months later) But comments are like the most wonderful thing to me so if there’s any parts you particularly enjoyed just let me know <3<3<3)
“Of course I love you more than dinosaurs,” she nudged herself up to kiss his jaw that she could reach. “Dinosaurs can’t squish me, Silly, they’re extinct.”

Video
youtube
so i had insane brainrot over the weekend and watched so many leafs videos and must unload my brainrot about specific videos somewhere and that place is tumblr. 
consider this like a “director’s commentary” of these videos but instead of a director you just have an unhinged marcandre3000 with a regrettable amount of time and wifi at her disposal
ANYWAY, notable moments from this Patty, Mitch, and Auston interview (and this is after Patty had already left the Leafs to go play for the Pens...which i’d...honestly completely forgotten about lmao)
2:47: patty’s kids begin to show up like little puppies just standing next to dad and you can see mitch start to laugh 
2:55: auston’s recollection of how mitch patty and auston became friends for the first time is INSANE because: first of all, auston points out that patty was pretty quiet when they first met, so this was probably auston’s impression of patty up to this point? like a veteran player he didn’t know very well who just joined the leafs. what do i mean by THIS POINT? WELL it’s when auston went out to dinner with a teammate, came back to mitch’s room, and found PATRICK MARLEAU, the NEW OLD MAN ON HIS TEAM, IN BED WITH MITCH WAITING FOR AUSTON TO WATCH....CARS 3 (not even Cars, not even Cars 2, CARS 3. i know i’ve talked about this before but this detail deserves its own little tangent: like -  of the 3 of them, u know without a sliver of a doubt that this movie was entirely mitch’s recommendation and the 2 of them playing along for mitch’s sake. which means...i don’t know? does mitch think cars 3 is a good movie? such a good movie that it warranted waiting for auston to return to partake in the Full Cinematic Experience?).  SO. auston and mitch met patty at the SAME TIME and yet in the SAME AMOUNT OF TIME.... auston about patty: pretty quiet guy! don’t really know him that well mitch about patty: he is my father and he is in my bed with me :D  IM - mitch marner is the usain bolt of finding father figures send tweet
4:55 - 5:15: Zeus starts to bark and mitch clearly notices it but doesn’t seem to know what to do about it, leading to my theory that mitch marner has no idea how to use the mute function on zoom, or that it even exists (mitch marner and the zoom mute function are like...conceptual OPPOSITES. they cannot coexist)
6:30: mitch’s phone starts to ring while patty is about to answer a fairly important question and he just..LETS IT RING and sits in happy obliviousness while auston CLEARLY notices and starts to laugh. then the infamous (infamous to whom? to me. isnt that enough!) “mitch pleASE” (so fond and yet so exasperated) moment happens, which obviously sets mitch into a completely incoherent spiral of yap yap yapping about how he didn’t know that was his phone? ringing? the more you listen to him the more you realize.....yes auston was so right, honestly. mitch, please.
7:00: landon and jagger (lmao i looked up all their names bc i felt bad just calling them ‘patty’s children’) spring up on camera like little bean sprouts and it’s just extremely adorable bc they clearly love auston and mitch a lot 
8:00: Mitch talks about how auston and mtich started taking extra sets of clothes when they went to patty’s because they’d get so sweaty playing mini-sticks and like. how intensely do you have to play mini-sticks with children to get that sweaty? good god. pls remind me to never play ANY casual game with professional athletes. i will die. 
9:10: the interviewer asks them who’s REALLY trying to win even though he’s pretending it’s not that big of a deal and I AM TELLING U from the LITTLE SIDELONG GLANCE THAT AUSTON STARTS GIVING THE CAMERA YOU fuckin KNOWWWWW ITS HIM AND THAT HEEEEE KNOWS ITS HIMMMMM *points accusatory finger* and it MAKES ME LAUGH SO MUCH. obviously patty and mitch DO pick auston and auston immediately launches into HIS own defensive yap-fest about how he’s just competitive, periodT.  Anyway, the only glimpses of auston we really get are like THE AUSTON MATTHEWS 34 FRANCHISE PLAYER OF THE LEAFS. so to catch his softer sides like this when he’s with 2 ppl (and patty’s kids) that he clearly trusts and cherishes is so! i am cradling these moments in my palms like a baby hamster!
10:00: the 3 of them start playing a game that requires them to write things on pieces of paper. and im SORRY. AUSTON TAYLOUR MATTHEWS. FRANCHISE PLAYER OF THE LEAFS. AND MULTIMILLIONAIRE. DOES NOT HAVE A SINGLE...ANYTHING RESEMBLING PAPER OTHER THAN PAPER PLATES????? AND THEREFORE WRITES ALL HIS ANSWERS ON PAPER PLATES? SIR. EVERYTIME I SAW AUSTON SOLEMNLY PICK ANOTHER PLATE OUT FROM HIS STACK OF PAPER PLATES I JUST STARTED LAUGHING.
11:22: Auston saying “yeah you were going to go play for the [Zurich Lions] too” to Mitch in a clear reference to mitch’s contract shenanigans fkjdljfJFLJKJLWGKJWW
12:12: The next question is “how many games did it take Mitch to score his first NHL game” and Patty offhandedly says “7 games” and Mitch’s GENUINELY AGGRIEVED “BROoOOO!!!!!!!! aRE YOU????????” WARBLING THROUGH HIS ZOOM MIC IS SO FUCKING FUNNY 
13:18: Auston Matthews says the word “crikey” in his little monotone voice. That’s all. 
14:28: We learn that mitch and patty went to get ice cream together constantly on the road. Patty....u indulged this twink so much...
14:55: Auston doesn’t know how to spell “dough.” Mitch not knowing what an encyclopedia is *handshake emoji* Auston not knowing how to spell dough. They’re perfect for each other, your honor
17:00: Auston EXPOSED as being the one who fell asleep on Patty’s couch at Christmas (Also, Auston keeps getting defensive over these answers and even THOUGH i know he’s 6′3″ and massive, this interview FILLS me delusional confidence that i absolutely could carry him around in my pocket. if not a pocket at least a large fannypack. Compare Auston to Mitch who just readily - and LOUDLY - accepts everyone’s answers with a [in toronto accent] “ooh yeah that’s a good one!” the large cat v. small dog energy is just astronomical here)
18:43: Auston declaring in a completely serious monotone: “I am running out of paper plates.”
19:46: Auston declaring in a completely serious monotone: “I have 3 paper plates left.”
20:53: Auston getting defensive again with a “whY are you looking at me?” - which somehow Mitch seems to find the most hilarious thing that has ever been uttered by any human in the history of the human race
21:50: Mitch’s question is so bad and like completely unrelated to the guessing game at hand? (the premise of the guessing game: guessing which of the 3 is most/least at something OR guessing trivia about each other. Mitch’s understanding of this guessing game: OK but WAT IF WE ALL NAMED THE ACTIVITY WE ALL FREQUENTLY DO TOGETHER :D :D? god.....my sweet sweet idiot bean........................my god.....somebody please squish him) 
the last 3 minutes: the bar is on the floor but they have such a good perspective on the pandemic and things that were/are clearly larger than hockey. mitch’s comments thanking the healthcare workers are so sweet tbh
ALL RIGHT THATS IT WHY DID THIS GET SO LONG IS ANYONE EVEN GOING TO READ THIS LKJDKLJS

(Deciding if I should put this as anonymous or show my avatar...I just don't want anyone coming after me when I ask or say this stuff. They're just questions and I like to hear your answers...ah, screw it, I'm just gonna show my avatar. XP )
I got two questions and one opinion. Here's my opinion: I hate how they made Aang in Korra. People say that he was a bad dad, and I feel like he was written that way on the show, which wasn't intentional, but it looked like it was...by the creators themselves. It would seem the creators are in denial of how they made Aang, cause he's their fave character or something. Don't get me wrong, I like Aang too, but...the creators are really unaware of how they made him into a bad dad in Korra. ^^;
Now for the two questions:
Let's just agree that ATLA is the superior show, and Korra is...eh. Now, Kataang happened on that show, which is fine. HOWEVER, do you think if Taang happened, the events in Korra would've been a WHOLE LOT different and maybe a whole lot...better? Cause Aang's kids' Bumi and Kya in Korra felt unwanted by him in a way and Katara would've said something(which I honest-to-goodness think the whole Kataang hooking up 3 months later after the war in ATLA thing is poor writing. Like let us SEE what happened after that!), whereas Toph would've been like "Twinkles, no, get your priorities straight." And honestly, the Aang WE know would cherish those kids either way, it wouldn't matter if they weren't airbenders. I guess what I'm saying is, do you think Aang and Toph would've been the most awesome and take-in-charge power couple ever and that it would affect the story in Korra in general? Think deeply on that.
Do you think Kataang was necessary for the story of ATLA? I mean, I'm kind of being honest, I don't think anything would've changed if it wasn't included. However, I honestly do believe that Taang would've changed and affected Korra a lot more, whereas people would say Zutara would've affected ATLA. Course, I'm a big Taang fan, and I like Zutara a bit, but I'm mostly Team Taang. XD I just also think it would've made sense for Aang to not be so hooked up on Katara and actually start finding other girls attractive(cough, like Toph, cough) as he grows. It's just...I feel like the whole last part of ATLA was just bad writing. ^^; What are your thoughts?
Wow, first of all, thanks for taking the time to write to me! i really appreciate it ( ͡👁️ ͜ʖ ͡👁️)
Regarding your opinion, I COMPLETELY AGREE. I get that Aang only had Gyatso as a father figure until he was 12 y/o, so he's a bit screwed on that front, but I am CONVINCED that what they did with his paternity was an aberration. I mean yes, surely he had to be absent due to his duties as the avatar, but I REFUSE to believe that he would have taken ONLY to Tenzin on a trip to learn the customs of the air nomads. If there is something that ATLA made clear to us, it is that no matter what nationality you come from, Aang is always going to want to make you smile and show you the fun that can be had, so yes, it doesn't make ANY SENSE to me that he wouldn't have brought to ALL their children to their trips. On the other hand, even though it might have happened a few times (because Aang is a bit of a dork pff lmao), Katara would have NEVER let that happend. Aang would have noticed and would have done ANYTHING to make up for the lost time with his two other children, so yeah, totally agree with you there.
I got excited so I'll try to be more brief with the questions ( ͡눈 ﹏ ͡눈)
Well, there are several comics after the Hundred Years War that more or less show Katara and Aang's relationship (and I'm not going to lie to you, even though I love Taang, Kataang are such a cuties). And regarding Taang as parents, I once read a post from @stitch1830 in response to something similar, and I couldn't agree more. More than opposites, both complement each other perfectly, and I think that in the same way that they do it romantically, they would also do it as parents. Toph, grounding expert that she is, would have been stern if she had noticed that Aang had preferential treatment with any of their children. Similarly, we know the flaws in Toph's motherhood, and I feel like Aang would have managed to balance the excessive freedom she gave her daughters, giving them more structure to their lives and a respect for traditions. On the other hand, I'm VERY SURE Toph was terrified growing up of her daughters being alone (of course, she's too stubborn to even show it), I guess afraid that she might be a terrible mother like her parents were to her. No doubt Aang would have calmed all those worries. AAGH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH (╥︣﹏᷅╥)
2. While Kataang wasn't necessary (it certainly wouldn't have affected the plot too much if it hadn't happened), I think it was a natural fit between the two. Extremely stressed and full of traumas from the war, Katara was the safe, maternal and familiar place that he needed so much, while for Katara, Aang was the hope to cling to, the calm she needed from all the anger contained by the war with the fire nation. Let's say that both of them were attracted to each other for those reasons, because they needed each other.
But you're right, for me, the love that Aang felt for Katara was something platonic, something that had to pass as his first love, after all, she was the first girl he met and who technically saved him from the iceberg. As you say, it would have been much more interesting if both of them grew up to realize that they were each other's support in times of war, and eventually broke up to meet other people (i mean, they met at 12 y/o and 14 y/o, and you say they were together ever since for the rest of their lives? I don't think it's realistic. I guess Aang's world travels and Katara's desire to work in the southern tribe would have also driven them apart over time.
My Taang headcanon is that their relationship started because, first, Aang has to continue to travel the world for his avatar duties, and on the other hand, because Toph hates being stuck in one place, loves freedom, and traveling the world is what connected her the most with it when they were at war. That way she would have joined his travels and little by little they would have begun to fall in love. It would have been entertaining to watch Aang and Toph go through the conflict of realizing that they find each other attractive. (Aang like: "Since when is my sifu so cute? If I fall in love with her she'll kick my ass!, Toph by her side would have been like: "Me? In love with twinkle toes? That skinny? (who is no longer so skinny cofcof) i prefer to be dead before!)
Yeah, I said I was going to keep it short- but FUCK, I really wanted to be able to express everything I was thinking. Thanks again for asking! I'll always be on the lookout and ready to continue talking about a thousand years of Taang and why I think they work so well, cheers!

I just had to jot down some thoughts because I am on an Until Dawn/Trollhunters spiral (as if anybody can't tell from this commission lol. On a side note, I don't know if I've said it upfront before, but seriously, @undeadchestnut is such a great person to work with if you're looking for artists to visualize your art ideas, would HIGHLY recommend!) I love them both so much, and Angor and Josh both deserved SO much justice and I know I don't usually do a lot of talking here, and I know this crossover is obscure and strange and probably not interesting to most, but screw it, here's a crossover idea dump because I'm always emotional over these two (Mostly Josh right now, but I love them both equally)
◉ Josh being saved from the mines BEFORE dying or transforming into a bloodthirsty monster because seriously, screw those endings. I don't have an answer for why or how Trollhunters would end up there, but they could save his ass with ease.
◉ Jim and Josh being #TeamDaddyIssues, Jim sharing his absurd amount of troll dads because god knows Josh needs a non-neglectful father figure in his life too (Parental figure in general, for that matter. Can't believe the Washingtons ignored their last living child for so long that he could set up his revenge prank with literally nobody noticing. smh)
◉ Barbara helping Josh get over his anxiety/mistrust of doctors and the medical system, especially after those downright cruel Dr. Hill hallucinations, and getting him the medication he needs
◉ Jim and co. being a supportive friend group??? That don't fight 24/7 and bully each other to literal death????? Revolutionary.
◉ Claire accidentally becoming like a reminder of his sisters in Josh's eyes (because she definitely has Beth energy, don't @ me, you can't deny it) and Josh having to work through a lot of the Complicated Grief Feelings he's been pushing down for a damn year, but he can do that in a safe environment this time because the Trollhunters kids are a ✨Supportive Friend Group✨
◉ Sam, Chris, and Josh ditching the rest of their toxic-ass, shitstain friends in favour of the ✨Supportive Friend Group✨
◉ Barbara helping Josh get over his anxiety/mistrust of doctors and the medical system, especially after those downright cruel Dr. Hill hallucinations, and getting him the medication he needs
◉ Angor Rot and Josh both being able to relate to the whole "Most people I've ever placed my trust in ended up betraying me" vibe, but Angor being more mature and knowledgeable (and having a better understanding of actual friendship thanks to the Trollhunters gang) would have to work it into Josh's head that no, bullying each other and hating 90% of your friend group is actually NOT normal, healthy, or a stable way to keep relationships lmao. "Revenge-pranking" and ignoring the actual issue to get over your survivor's guilt and severe hatred is actually Not A Great Remedy, Joshua.
◉ The Trollhunters gang canonically enjoys horror movies, if I remember correctly, so Josh's dad being a famous horror director and the special effects/production skills Josh learned from that could be a fun thing they might all bond over.
◉ On the opposite side of that, the absolutely chaotic pranks Josh and NotEnrique could pull off together with their combined intelligence and thirst for chaos would be off-the-charts wildness. Josh and NotEnrique would be AMAZING friends.
◉ I'd say they'd start a Youtube prank channel together, but given that Josh's prank history is like a more extreme version of the Sam Pepper "Best Friend Murder" prank, that might not go over so well publicly lmfao
◉ Barbara helping Josh get over his anxiety/mistrust of doctors and the medical system, especially after those downright cruel Dr. Hill hallucinations, and getting him the medication he needs
◉ Sam and Claire bonding over their boyfriends' past "i mUsT bEaR mY pAiN aLoNe" idiocy
◉ Sam also lowkey being horrified at how much the Trollhunter kids have had to put up with too. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FOUGHT IN A MAGICAL WAR AT 16?!"
◉ I don't know what Chris might do in the group tbh, but him and Toby sharing the whole "nerdass dork, ride-or-die best friend" role makes me smile. They'd support their bros together, I guess. 😛 (I could see Chris joining in with Josh and NotEnrique's milder hijinks, but he's too much of a mom friend to go as extreme as those two would be willing to)
◉ At that point, Biggest Mom Friend Samantha would have to reel in their craziness and give 'em a good scolding lmfao

bit of a shit head-canon but in my head seb is a dad, a really good dad despite his own shit upbringing. mostly modern Seb bc he can be more open when it comes to affection & supporting his kids etc. & I mostly picture Seb being an amazing girl dad in modern hence my oc Astrid comes in & is the reason I started having this whole head-canon in the first place right? But even though I first imagined them having a really shitty relationship bc the first time I wrote her I pictured her showing up at Seb’s door step at age 14/15 angry, a troubled kid who mirrored teen seb a lot bc essentially that is when I pictured he accidentally conceived her & bc he was a kid himself he ran & didn’t look back bc he was terrified he would be an awful father. & honestly given what he went through who could blame him? (Or ether he just never knew she even existed until then lmao, couldn’t decide which I preferred bc the latter was hilarious to me at the time)
anyway in that AU he’s confronted with a lot of the shit he had to face a lone through this kid he has to form a relationship with & he heals through that a bit. But that was really the first time Astrid Moran ever came to exist.
In most of the dad Seb AUs I’ve done he’s raised her as an adult since birth but in any AU, he’s just the complete opposite of his own father bc I like to think that even though he probably does have a lot of issues still, he can be impulsive & have a bit of a temper, he can do his best to not scar his kids the way he was scared & just tries to blow off steam when he’s out murdering for his boss instead of blowing at a toddler for pouring syrup on his shoe or something (which he would never do regardless bc Seb’s always been soft in my head, like really, truly soft. Deep down. Like he’s never lost that little five year old persona who kept a piece of the mischievousness, curiosity, play & love that kid naturally had before losing Alex at age 6.) but that view is mostly for modern Seb.
for Victorian Seb is a bit trickier for me personally anyway bc I love soft seb so much but I base off Vic seb mostly off The Hound of the D’urbersvilles the most in terms of personality & that mother fucker was FUNNY. But the bitch had major Anger, addiction & a whole slue of issues I can’t possibly try to replicate, specially towards a child bc I would only turn him into Augustus in a way & I don’t want that for Seb. So I do make him a little soft, but to make thighs more tense for him & easier for me to write that rougher Sebastian I decided his child, my OC Dorian Moran is a biracial child seb gets stuck with after he does what he does abroad, but before he can run away like he always does Dorian’s mom dies during child birth & Seb, well he has to take DAMN RESPONSIBILITY for once. (Wrote a whole fickler for this LMAO https://teenbasher.tumblr.com/post/184379231091/bloods-thicker <- read here if you want )
Victorian Seb is harder for me in this regard bc his personality is definitely vile & abusive but even then he stands for his child a bit more than his own dad ever did for him, at least he learns to with time, even though at the beginning he is absolutely awful to him. Bc let’s face it, seb is not a patient or kid man. So dealing with a toddler is very hard for him. But despite how much he dislikes his kid & how mean he can be towards him. I like to think that seb does care for him & despite everything, he invests in Dorian’s care having a nanny for him & eventually possibly having Moriarty help him tutor the boy ( since ya know he essentially lives with the man, & yeah a brothel is not the best place to raise a kid, but he’s trying, right?) & I like to also think that at least once in his life Sebastian stands up to someone discriminating against Dorian, perhaps bc of his race or his ilegitimen status, & maybe when Dorian is older & Seb has become more fond of him bc he learns to see him as his son & recognizes quirks maybe he had in his youth & generally learns to love Dorian as the son & human being he is. At some point Seb has to come around & at least show Dorian once that he got his back. Like damn.
anyway this think pice went wildly longer than I planned bc I originally just wanted to state abt how Astrid was mostly a Modern OC while Dorian was Victorina but I went too into thought about Dorian bc I love him & I feel bad I haven’t spent more time developing his character & relationship with Seb (ooooh!! Specially bc I think it would be nice & a total slap on the face to Seb if Moriarty offered to educate the boy. Not only in maths & science & all of the academia, but as an heir of sorts, teaching him the other side of the business eventually, bc think about it, who the fuck is going to suspect a biracial lad in Victorian England runs a world wide criminal empire after the very napoleon of Crime himself , master of disguise & perception Professor James bleeding Moriarty) not only inherit him but taught him since childhood. Plus since Seb would teach him to shoot & handle guns (as a matter of manly honor obvs & not an excuse to bond with his son) Dorian would be the whole package in terms of running Moriarty's criminal enterprise, becoming an incredibly powerful assassin.

From the beginning I felt very attracted to him. Not necessarily on the first night we met, because I mostly talked to a back then, but ever since the first time we actually started talking. I'm really grateful for him and it seems like he really wanted to spend time with me yesterday. I'm really happy about that. We went to the lectures together and sat next to each other and I even went to this other lecture with him just because. Every now and then, our arms would brush against each other and I always tried to kind of lean in a little to facilitate the touch. After the lectures, even after A left, we went to the cafe on campus and just kept talking and he postponed his gym date a little, just so we could keep talking. We talked about a lot of things and I laughed a lot. At times I might've opened up a little too much, since he studies psych I hope he doesn't realise how much in my brain went wrong. I told him about dad's upcoming marriage and how I never really got along with my mom. I suppose it could be worse. He opened up a little as well, talking about how he kind of has a choleric side to him sometimes and I told him I can only really get mad at my mother. But luckily, the tone never was too serious, we kept joking around and laughing. Something that embarrasses me a little is that I accidentally made it clear that I don't like it when people smoke and he seemed very conscious about that. While walking to the train station, he was super cautious to blow the smoke in the opposite direction. Ofc I appreciate that, but I wish I hadn't made him feel bad about it (if I even did idk). He told me never to start smoking and that he just generally likes to consume drugs. He's very sweet, and he's been very honest. I always try to be as honest as possible as well, but sometimes I just don't say something because it would "make me look bad" even if it totally wouldn't. I'm super conscious about the things I say most of the time, so it's hard for me to turn it off. Another thing! We talked about haircolour and he thought my hair was natural. He also told me it looks good on me :)))))). I could only ashamedly say "thanks" and look at the ground, before the conversation was carried on quickly. We even hugged after saying good bye in the train. He's just so attractive. He's perfect, honestly.
I really don't know if he likes me in any way. He probably was just being kind. I mean, I don't really have anything to offer. He did find it interesting that I'm an anarchist and maybe the fact that I also write poetry caught his eye. And yes, our conversation felt natural and never really came to a halt. But idk, I'm not particularly interesting or smart or funny or clever or pretty. I really can't tell if he thinks well of me or if he's just being nice. And honestly, this guy is part of the reason I might delay my suicide. I said I'd be dead until the end of November, but now I want to see how things go. My friends at uni and kinda my old friends at well kinda gave me back my will to live. Or at least when I'm with them. When I'm alone I can sometimes smile when I think about them, but I'm still very sad. It's not as bad as it used to be, though. Idk. Like I said, I want to see how things play out. Maybe I'll be happier again should we get closer, which is the best I could hope for. And if we don't, i can still end it all. I wonder how I'd do it... it's just a little frustrating how I keep postponing it. But it's not like I actually have a deadline or anything lmao. To be honest, death sounds very nice. I wish for my death to be peaceful. P and I talked about getting old and we both said we couldn't imagine getting older than thirty, both thinking we might die before that. He wants to have kids at around thirty though. I think that inside of him, there lies a very deep sadness. I wouldn't say he'd want to kill himself as well, but I think that deep down, he's very sad. What he told me about consuming drugs is kind of enough, ngl. Either way, I kind of miss him rn. It's stupid, I wouldn't have seen him anyway this weekend since both of us left our city, but yeah. I've been thinking a lot about him. My sister's bf came with us and we're showing him the cutt a little, so I keep thinking about what it'd be like showing P the city. Yeah.... I'm hopeless. I don't want to ignore all the time we've spent together so far and how he even freed up some time just to talk to me, but it's like... I don't have a lot of good features he could've noticed so he probably doesn't care about me specifically. And yeah, talking to someone doesn't make you find them interesting in any way. I mean yeah, to me, he's incredibly attractive. Ofc that doesn't account for anything. Alr atp I'm running in circles, I guess I'll just have to wait. If I get sadder again, I'll just kill myself. I'm saying that like it's easy.

Whoops, how did he die in this AU? iirc you said middy started drinking after masa died
ohhhhhh
So… the lore has changed 🙃
TW: Domestic violence, rape, and a suicide attempt.
So Middy finds Short Bitch somehow and she remarries him and introduces him to Hanako and Akira, who are toddlers atm. (Keep in mind I’m still figuring lore out for the AU so things are a bit choppy)
However, even with a two and four year old tagged along, Short Bitch still abuses the crap out of Middy.
He drags her along to several circuses before eventually settling down in a suburban.
Have you’ve seen that one official artwork me on my side blog and @g0rechan rb’d of Masa mutilating what looks like an adult Midori? I’ll rb it after this post but it really intrigued me, so I HC that Middy was secretly trying to escape Masa to build a better life for her and her children. She auditions as an actor for a new upcoming movie and ALMOST gets the role… until Masa finds out and yeah… you can see what happens next. Poor Middy.
Once Midori is a full on human pretzel now, Masa does the thang and then Sakura gets conceived. Yyyayyyyyy /S
Where Hanako and Akira were idk.
So once Middy is preggers for like the millionth time is when her and Masa settle down in a normal home.
So the thing is that Masa is not only a horrible husband, he is a even more horrible step-father.
He’s the kind of dad that thinks being a family man means going to work, bringing home enough money to put food on the table, rinse and repeat. He does literally NOTHING to help Middy raise her kids smh. You know those memes of the dads at restaurants thinking about how relaxing it is and wondering why their wives won’t enjoy it meanwhile the wives are being nagged by eight million kids? Yeah, that’s Masa’s parenting skills.
He was the exact opposite of a gentle parent. He was so harsh towards H and A. When Middy disciplined her kiddos, she explained to them why it was wrong and talked it out with them, a serious punishment would only be if the kids kept repeating the same actions no matter what or if they committed straight up crimes. Masa just went to literally beating the crap out of them. Like god damn little dude your oldest is not even five 😭😭😭
Kind of a funny HC but I imagine when Masa was too lazy to deal with the kids under his watch, he’d shove them in a bottle and then continue on with his day lmao.
Middy, heavily pregnant with a magic child and extremely hormonal, was finding Masa’s treatment towards the kids getting out of hand. She tried to maturely talk it out with him, thinking that maybe he’ll understand.
Omggggg Masa was so dramatic during that argument. “wELL I dOn’T kNoW wHy yOu’Re mAkInG sUcH a biG dEaL oUt oF tHiS–yOu kNoW wHaT FINE. I’M NEVER GONNA HELP U TAKE CARE OF THEM AGAIN YOU KNOW WHAT IM NEVER GONNA SEE THEM AGAIN.”
Like damn bitch you know smths up when a literal 18 year old with severe trauma is better at raising kids and arguing then like a 50 smth year old.
He then proceeded to use black magic on her to make her hallucinate her body twisting and mutilating and then see fetus Sakura burst out her belly and mutilate too.
H and A–guessing by how much cash Masa made with his magic performance–I’m going to assume they had a nanny. The nanny and kids come in wondering wtf just happened and Masa’s just like “I’m going away for a while. Goodbye.” Then… yeah. He never come back.
Midori is literally days away from giving birth now and with her husband missing and her having no job, things are difficult to manage with being able to afford the house and the nanny and the two soon-to-be three kids Midori full on goes on a psychosis episode. I would go as far as to say it was worse then her behavior in the end of the movie. Middy goes out one night to attempt suicide but survives.
I have no idea what to write next in the story but I’ll update ya once I get the ideas. As for where Masa goes? Well god knows. Either doing the same shit with some other little girl in some other country, dead, or maybe he’s playing with his demon friends in hell /j.

BnHA Chapter 313: Deku VS Lady Nagant
Previously on BnHA: Hawks’s super-hot badass murder senpai Lady Nagant showed up to fire a cupid’s arrow into my heart, and a bunch of literal bullets into my son. Deku was all “oh shit it’s Hawks’s super-hot badass murder senpai, what do I do, let me think back to Hawks’s advice for a sec.” Flashback!Hawks was all “anyway Deku so if my super-hot badass murder senpai ever shows up you’re basically screwed so you’d better abscond the fuck out of there.” Present!Deku was all “lol idek why I flashed back to that conversation since I’m just going to do the exact opposite of what Hawks said” and charged directly toward Nagant because WHY NOT. Overhaul was all “waah I need to get back to my boss who I put in a coma out of love” and Nagant was all “jesus christ why did I even bring you here” and had a flashback to AFO who was all “ILU NAGANT IMMA GIVE YOU AN EXTRA QUIRK SO PLEASE CAPTURE DEKU FOR ME PLEASE AND THANKS” and yeah. Shit is all over the place right now and I love it.
Today on BnHA: All Might gets attacked by a pair of discount assassins and is all “Call an ambulance! ...BUT NOT FOR ME” and it’s really badass but also I really wish he would stop tempting fate like this. Lady Nagant is all “[casually flies around town shooting shit]” and I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t read an entire chapter of just that. Deku is all, “[gets shot (≥_<)]” and releases a giant Smokescreen which prompts En to show up. En is all, “( •᷄⌓•᷅ ) (⌣̀ Δ⌣́) ( •̀_•́ )σ (¬、¬) (눈_눈)” which I consider to be a high point of both the chapter and of my life. The chapter ends with Deku using the Third’s quirk to launch a bunch of random objects at Nagant so that he can jump up and grab her arm all sneaky-like, and I’m sure this is going to prompt another week’s worth of discourse that I don’t care about at all, but fuck it, I’m having a good time.
OH WE’RE CUTTING BACK TO ALL MIGHT WELL THAT’S NICE I GUESS. CONGRATS ON NOT BEING DEAD
Tumblr media
you named your car??
you named it Hercules??
I love you so much??
please marry me you giant fucking dork???
lmao speaking of huge fucking dorks
Tumblr media
who the fuck are you clowns. la dee da we’re gonna murder All Might with our synchronized spear attack!! I mean... they’re clearly trying their best... maybe I should just be nice and politely hype them up like All Might is so clearly trying to do
Tumblr media
like okay, but we all agree that this is actually the least intimidating attack any of us has ever seen, right?? these guys zipped up their hoodies all serious-like and are trying to attack All Might and Hercules with their Walmart tiki torches, but just, no?? right?? like the only way this could possibly be effective is if they were trying to kill All Might with secondhand embarrassment
“those are assassins” this is a VERY generous assessment, All Might
OH MY GOD THE TIKI TORCHES ACTUALLY KILLED THE FUCK OUT OF HERCULES
Tumblr media
[slaps roof of car] this baby can fit so many weaponized festive backyard lighting solutions in it
and yet, even after watching this with my own two eyes, I still can’t take these dudes seriously. idek what it is. anyways r.i.p. Hercules, I loved you a lot but I guess you weren’t actually a very good armored car were you
omg they didn’t know it was All Might??
Tumblr media
okay 1) for a moment there I was like “oh hey maybe they’re not so bad after all” but then a moment later it was like “ah nope, they are.” like, that was an interesting .06 second emotional journey there. anyways 2) All Might you have my permission to kick their asses for this disrespect, and 3) anyone else all of a sudden getting “wouldn’t this be an interesting time for Stain to suddenly show up” vibes?? no?? just me???
(ETA: hmm tbh I’ve still got those vibes and they haven’t gone away lol. Stain?? you out there buddy?? do you want to be cool for just once in your life. ball’s in your court pal.)
OH SNAP ALL MIGHT ARE YOU REALLY GONNA DO IT ARE YOU GONNA KICK THEIR ASSES
Tumblr media
PROTECTIVE DAD MODE ACTIVATED?? BECAUSE YOU KNOW I’M HERE FOR THAT SHIT, SO YEAH, FEEL FREE
omg he’s shouting at them about how much Deku has suffered lmao and they’re just like falling over from being scolded
Tumblr media
so they have absolutely no idea what he’s talking about though, right? “SIR THIS IS A WENDY’S” well whatever, you killed his pet car so he’s in a bad mood now
OH MY GOD
Tumblr media
LIKE, JUST SO WE’RE ALL CLEAR, THESE FOUR PAGES SO FAR HAVE MADE ALMOST ZERO SENSE. LIKE MAYBE 2% SENSE TOPS. BUT ASK ME IF I CARE. GO AHEAD AND ASK. I SAID GO AHEAD, IT’S OKAY. ...NO I DON’T CARE AT ALL THANK YOU FOR ASKING
(ETA: also, the more I look at this panel, the more I’m just like, why the hell would you phrase it like that though, sob. way to doubly tempt fate?? are you trying to give Horikoshi a challenge??)
and now back to Deku who is randomly bouncing around the city and narrating it to himself just in case he was confused about why he was doing this
Tumblr media
who are you talking to Deku. but thanks we appreciate it
man you gotta love that overconfidence. the smartest guy in the world warned you away from this lady, so SURE, LET’S RUN RIGHT UP TO HER. “I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT, FLASHBACK!HAWKS, BUT I’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE” well okay then!!
Tumblr media
I think it would be funny if RHA.com put little Buzzfeed-style polls in between the chapter pages so they could survey people at random intervals as they read their way through the chapter. like, you finish this page and then there’s a little poll there asking “do you think Deku’s plan of catching up to Lady Nagant and finding out where Shigaraki is will work?”, and you click “no” just like everyone else and then nod as the results show that 97% of your fellow readers also picked “no”, and you chuckle to yourself wondering how many of the 3% accidentally clicked on the wrong option by mistake, and then you keep on reading
ANYWAY, SO
Tumblr media
HOW’S THAT PLAN WORKING OUT FOR YOU SO FAR DEKU. nice kick, though!!
omggggggg
Tumblr media
ouch
update: Deku’s plan not really working out. sources tell me my boy has been fucking shot. this is an ongoing story and we will keep you posted with the latest developments as they come in
wait what
Tumblr media
feel free to explain to the rest of us what all of this “UNLESS...” and “THAT POSSIBILITY...” shit means anytime, Deku
oh lol did he realize she could fly??
Tumblr media
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE, CNN’s John King reports that Deku is still fucked. eyewitness reports now coming in that Nagant is doing no-look shots and basically not even giving a fuck. sources described her mannerisms and expression as “sexy, but in like an effortless sort of way.” we will continue to bring you the latest
so now there’s basically an entire page of Deku being all “ah fuck so she’s basically closing in and she could already hit me with impossible accuracy even from Far Away, so if that’s the case then her being Up Close is probably going to be even worse!” making good use of that Big Hero Brain there, Deku
so now what, you’re doing some kind of spiraling kick thing?? how is that going to help
oh lol he’s using Smokescreen to create some cover. aww, good for you Deku you named one of your Smokescreen attacks
OH NO LADY DON’T TELL ME AFO DIDN’T EVEN FILL YOU IN ON THE BASICS
Tumblr media
seriously, AFO?? you basically told her what Deku’s exact strategy was going to be but then couldn’t be assed to drop that little, small, barely notable piece of knowledge that Deku is rocking multiple quirks?? is it supposed to be a secret or something?? you dropped the ball here man
damn this is getting intense now
Tumblr media
(ETA: the way En is poking Deku’s head in that first panel is fucking sending me, I love this guy so much omg.)
well then what are you planning, Deku?? I’m actually really curious!! I am genuinely starting to be invested in this fight scene not only in the “wanting to see who wins and how that impacts the plot” sense, but also in the “wanting to see how it happens because the choreography and strategy is actually pretty cool” sense, which honestly hasn’t happened for quite a while now! this is fun
anyway so what’s up Deku, are you going to use another quirk?? I’ve been speculating that he hasn’t actually unlocked the last two yet (since Two and Three didn’t exactly seem convinced when we last saw them), but maybe I’m about to be proven wrong
(ETA: well he clearly has Three’s obviously, but Two’s is still MIA, and that’s the one I am of course the most curious about. that’s the one we’re all curious about, let’s be real.)
OH SNAP???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AHHHH I’M HYPED LOL. ANOTHER SHINY NEW QUIRK LOL SHOULD I PUT UP THE USUAL DISCOURSE DISCLAIMER
(ETA: so yeah, after thinking on it, I’m not gonna say “please no Deku discourse on my blog” this week, but I probably will ignore any discourse that does come my way though, just because I don’t have much interest in getting involved in what would probably be a pretty repetitive discussion. like, I can just sum up my opinions (which is what they are) here instead. in fact here they are lol:
1) I like the SIXQUIRKS and I like seeing Deku be a badass.
2) I also don’t think Deku is too OP. more like he’s exactly as OP as he needs to be at the moment, given that we’re approaching the end of the series. I expect the other kids will also be pretty damn OP when we see them fight again. we’re just at that point now where they’re all badasses (as well they should be; they’ve grown a lot and they deserve it). it’s just that Deku’s the one we’re getting to see right now.
3) of course I miss Kacchan and the others, but for me this vibes much closer to the MVA arc where even though I missed them, I was still having a blast (as opposed to the dark days of the Basement arc where I was pretty much losing it lol). like, even though Kacchan’s my favorite, I still love Deku a lot and this arc has been amazing for him getting to shine on his own (for like the first time, really).
4) y’all know I love the OFA plot and I’ve never been shy about that lol. I like all of the Vestiges a lot. Banjou and his over the top personality; En and his “guy you thought would be serious and :| all the time but is actually hyper-animated and ALL OVER THE PLACE” energy; Shiro who actually is a :| sort of guy lol; Three who I still expect will be fleshed out in a more detailed flashback at some point; and of course Two, who, well. you know what I think about him lol. Bakuverse is still on the table and I’m still hyped. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we still have yet to see Two actually talk to Deku (as opposed to talking to the other Vestiges while Deku is distracted). did he lend him his power yet?? or is he still holding out?? either way it’s definitely going to be a Big Thing when it finally happens and I can’t wait to see it.
5) Lady Nagant is Everything and just because Deku grabbed her arm doesn’t mean the fight is over yet lol. Overhaul hasn’t come into play yet either. not to mention that even if the fight is over, the “where do we go from here” part still has me excited either way. her connection to Hawks and the HPSC is very intriguing and we’ve barely touched on that as of yet; she definitely has more of a role to play in this.
6) last but not least, I feel like every week the discussion is all about how much focus Deku’s getting, and how OP he is or isn’t, and OFA this and OFA that, but meanwhile I’m actually so invested in the character development here though?? the way Deku has distanced himself from everyone (except for the Vestiges, because of course they’re already dead so it’s not like they can die again lol)?? the way he’s pushing himself far too hard and we can see the shadows in and under his eyes, and the fact that he never smiles, and even All Might has remarked on how he isn’t taking care of himself at all?? the fact that he’s so single-mindedly obsessed with focused on stopping AFO?? the fact that he’s still the same sweet old Deku despite everything and was so kind to that fox lady with the umbrella, but there was also something so sad about that scene because it felt like a reminder of the type of hero that he wants to be, but that he’s not allowed to be right now?? because the stakes are too high and the world is falling apart?? and he feels like he’s the only one who can do something about it?? and that he has to be?? and that he is putting so much pressure on himself right now, and it’s absolutely too much pressure for any one person to bear, and I feel like no one is fucking talking about this lol goddammit.
anyway so yeah. I have feels about this, and every week that slow-burn angst is getting more and more intense behind the scenes, and I feel like it’s all going to hit a breaking point eventually. sooner rather than later. it really feels like a mirror of Katsuki’s post-Kamino arc. where all that angst was just churning below the surface for like twenty chapters and then it finally was like “okay it’s time” and it all came bursting out and we got the best five chapters of the fucking series (in my admittedly biased estimation lol).
basically, I know that most of fandom is billing this as either the “villain hunt” arc or the “solo Deku SIXQUIRKS fighting arc” or whatever. but for me, it’s always been and still is the Deku Angst arc lol. the cool fights are a sexy bonus (the worldbuilding less so because even though it’s interesting to see society at such a low point, it’s also very depressing and gets old pretty fast), but for me the thing that’s really keeping me engaged chapter after chapter is seeing Deku like we’ve never seen him before. seeing him all quiet and withdrawn and brooding and focused on AFO, AFO, AFO, and seeing that “he just doesn’t take himself into account” mentality taken to extremes. I am invested in that. I’m soaking up that angst each and every week, and I’m invested in seeing what comes of it. it’s a big picture thing. week to week this arc might just seem like a bunch of villain fight scenes, sure. but Deku’s emotional journey is the thread that’s going to carry this arc through from beginning to end, and for that I’m willing to be patient.
anyway that turned into a BIG OL’ RANT there but yeah! so those are my thoughts on the disk horse as it currently stands. and like I said, I’m open to discussion, but tbh I will probably just wind up repeating these same talking points endlessly so just a fair warning lol.)
anyway so Three says Deku has yet to use his quirk at ALL but now he’s trying to combine it with another quirk?? damn. also please check out En’s face here you guys
Tumblr media
En launching a sneak attack up my favorite character list by the sheer power of his expressions alone. he really knows how to make the most of his screentime
OH DAMN DEKU
Tumblr media
at this point the 3% from that hypothetical poll earlier are starting to feel prettttty damn smug, I’ll bet. well shit
what in the fuck
Tumblr media
?? so like releasing his chi or whatnot?? isn’t that basically just like base OFA all over again?? also Deku did you seriously just apologize to Gran’s cape
update: Nagant has turned her eyeball into a gun
Tumblr media
hm. hmmmmmmm. ...okay yep, still somehow sexy
anyway so she’s just floating up there building suspense, as one does. lord I sure hope she has good reflexes because something tells me she’s going to need them
OH SNAP HE THREW GRAN’S CAPE AS A DECOY WHAAAAT OKAY THAT’S SOME SMART SHIT DEKU
LOL SHE’S MAD NOW
Tumblr media
JESUS CHRIST SHE JUST NEVER TAKES A GODDAMN BREAK FROM BEING AWESOME HUH
DEKU ARE YOU JUST THROWING EVERY DAMN THING IN YOUR INVENTORY
Tumblr media
but without the cape and the hood how will you continue to look like an enigmatic badass. you really can’t. which means we might finally be moving on from the wandering nomad part of this arc, stay tuned
LOL YOU MANIAC
Tumblr media
I hope he went full Kacchan with the dialogue there. his face sure looks like it lol. popped out of a building all mad fdskljlkj omg
well this was fun, shit. I still have basically no idea what Three’s quirk does though lol. like, can he use it to charge up objects with kinetic energy or something?? but then what was all of that talk about combining it with one of the other quirks?? or was that just because he was using Smokescreen at the same time??
(ETA: having seen and read an additional half-dozen explanations of Three’s quirk, I can say with confidence that I still have basically no idea what it is or does.)
anyway so!! Deku is a badasssssss but something tells me not to count Nagant out just yet even so. also I really enjoy seeing Deku flip out on people like he doesn’t have a fucking hole in his torso because it reminds me of A CERTAIN SOMEONE and I always love to see him channeling that feral energy; I feel like it’s been a while
anyways good luck to you both!! I truly wish that both of you could win. but if not, then maybe you can at least become friends instead. you have so much in common, you both can fly and have multiple quirks and you’re both badasses, and plus it would just be really funny to see the look on Hawks’s face lmao

You got me curious about the Berdly family post 👀
alright i've been putting off this post long enough. thank you anon for the bait, i will now be taking it since my dumbass body hates sleeping so damn much.
without further ado, my Berdly Family Headcanons
(chucking this under a readmore bc it's gonna get LONG)
starting off, i don't have a last name in mind. giving characters first names is already enough of a challenge, so the expectation that i would have a family name is beyond my paygrade (note: toby fox is not paying me). but i think with the last name conventions we've seen from the deltarune cast (dreemurr, holiday) it's probably something bird-related??? i honestly can't think of anything so i'm skipping right past it and onto the actual people
starting off with peter, berdly's father! yes, he has a normal name. he's allowed. (but also because i tried to keep the names within the realm of birds that are blue, and my dad used to have a blue parakeet named petey and i've always thought that was a rlly good bird name. so now berdly's dad gets it).
peter works in marketing for a reputable pharmaceutical company and has been for Years. in the early years of his marriage to berdly's mother (who will be named in a moment), he tried to keep his traveling to a minimum (traveling is a BIG part of that line of work) so he could be with her as they built their family. but as time went on, kids were born, and bills piled up; peter eventually had to sacrifice being an incredibly-present father to climb up the corporate ladder in order to make ends meet. he's become quite successful over the years!! but this has come at a cost of him not being the most in-tune with his children, which will show more as i explain. he's very Goal-Oriented and, because his goals are all so high, he has a tendency to pass that high demand onto his children. in his eyes, you go into Two Fields: Science or Business. this means that he has a very low tolerance for "frivolous pursuits" such as the arts, english, or the humanities. he used to be Very on top of his children about this, teaching them about how they can succeed through these avenues and these avenues Only. again, since he's so goal and business oriented, his idea of "success" means "wealthy".
berdly's mother is quite the opposite. or, was lmao. sorry to spoil my own post. ANYWAYS her name is jayne and she's a lot softer, in comparison to her more hard-headed husband.
jayne is a stay-at-home mother and a poet. she made sure to fill the bookshelves with alllllllll the classics, and she began reading to her children as infants. because of this, they were raised with a love for reading (especially berdly, who i've explained in another post is a Big writing nerd) as well as a deep love for jayne. when gerson boom was alive, the two would talk literature after church and gerson would even collaborate with jayne in some of his novels! jayne is published herself, but her works are all on a lot smaller of a scale. she didn't achieve the kind of fame and notoriety gerson did, but she was never really looking for that anyway. to her, a good day was spending as much time with her children as possible, then winding down with her beloved in bed as she wrote whatever ideas came to mind before sleep. she often pushed back against her husband's harsh dictations on what success means (and, really, how could he have such thoughts when his own wife is an artist? the answer is: his ruling on that wasn't always So strict) and encouraged her children to express themselves as they saw fit. as long as it made them happy, then it was fine. she was also close with toriel (i imagine her, toriel, asgore, rudy, and carol all went to college together and then followed each other back to hometown) and spent a lot of time socializing their kids together while they chatted over tea (this is the start of berdly's "rivalry" with kris). generally, jayne was well-loved by the community and by her own family, which made her the happiest woman in the world.
but before i finish her story, why don't i suddenly and randomly jump to berdly's older sister, who is Also named jayne (though she goes mostly by "jay" or "janey" Or "jj" if she likes you well enough).
(jayne is actually her middle name, but she goes by it for Reasons I Shall Get To)
jay is Much older than berdly. like, i'm imagining around 8 years older. so when berdly is 16 (which is the age i put him at in canon), she's 24. because of this, there relationship wasn't always the best... she just had a lot of trouble adapting to having a new person in the house, especially since she was the only child for so many years!! she's not as loud as berdly, but she isn't shy either. she just knows how to assert herself at a normal volume/intensity LMAO. she was never a Bad sister, she just kind of acted like a surrogate parent most of the time since her dad couldn't always be around. which, as a baby child myself, i Know caused some deep resentment to build up within berdly, which would bubble up when he got a bit older. but when he was Little he mostly just pouted and whined whenever jay would try to make him do his homework or eat his brussel sprouts.
in canon times, she is in grad school for biology (primarily microbiology). science just kind of was her Thing--regardless of her father's assertions--so it worked out that she went into the field that would get her the most praise from peter. she hasn't been back to hometown since she moved out for undergrad, though, so needless to say it's not like she's really looking for her father's approval. she's had several papers published on her findings with her fellow graduates, and she's on-track to end up with a research facility studying the microbiology of monsters and how "determination" affects their chemical makeups, in the hope that it creates better treatments for those who have fallen down. she's definitely softened over the years and deeply regrets leaving her little brother all alone, but she doesn't really see a point in reaching out. berdly has made it Very Clearly that he Doesn't like her, and as much as that pains her she doesn't want to give him anymore grief.
okay, Now i will talk about the mom stuff again
so this family could've been perfectly normal, right? perfectly healthy, perfectly happy, in a perfectly perfect world....
but then how would that explain berdly's current demeanor? and why he so desperately craves the approval of the adults around him? and why "being smart" is so damn important to his image?
well, jayne dies. that's how this perfect family (with some minor flaws) falls completely apart.
berdly is probably around 9 or 10 years old. he's decent friends with kris, but quickly becoming close friends with noelle (who lives a bit closer and also is coming over a lot because jay babysits them both when dess is busy during baseball season). jay is 17 or 18, about to graduate high school and start the rest of her life. peter is out on a business trip, where he's been for about two months.
jayne is watching her children from the back porch (berdly, noelle, and jay are playing cops and robbers--with jay as the cop and the other two as the robbers) when she suddenly collapses. jay notices immediately and rushes over to her mom, obviously concerned for her well-being. jayne is unconscious and doesn't look to be that responsive, so an ambulance is called and she's rushed to the local hospital. rudy holiday comes to pick up berdly and noelle to take them back to the holiday home, but berdly is too upset to be separated from his big sister so he ends up taking them all to the hospital. peter is contacted and immediately books a flight home for that day.
"i'll be there by midnight," he tells his oldest daughter. "just keep mom alive until then."
jayne dies within a few hours of her being admitted. peter's flight had just taken off. jay holds her brother in a kind of stupor, listening to him whimper and whine about why they won't let him see mommy.
it was so sudden, doctors barely had enough time to diagnose her with anything before she was gone. all they know is that it was a sudden illness, it could have been lying dormant in her for years but they'll never know for certain, and whatever symptoms it had were virtually untraceable to the average person.
peter comes home to his shell-shocked children and holds them tight, barely able to comprehend his own grief.
jayne's funeral is widely attended. pretty much all of hometown is packed into the church. jay holds her brother's hand while he cries uncontrollably for the entire ceremony--all the way up to them burying her ashes in the cemetery.
what follows after jayne's death is a bunch of messy arguments between jay and her father; born somewhat out of jay's distaste for her father's decision to return to work so quickly, but primarily out of the grief that is rapidly consuming her. she resents her father and accuses him of turning her into a surrogate mother so he wouldn't have to raise his own son, which sends peter into a rage and has him blurt out "well, you share her name for a reason!!!" which is the exact moment jay decides two things:
1. she is going to start going by her mother's name, to honor her memory and carry on her legacy of kindness
2. she is going to carry this legacy on her own, far away from her family
berdly is a mess for a while. he doesn't know why his sister and father are fighting, he's confused, he's sad, he misses his mommy, he misses her stories, he wants everything to be normal, he's just lost. doesn't help that dess disappears not too long after jayne dies (like a year or so, so jay is Already At College by this point), so his best friend is going through the same thing and is, therefore, unable to help. they both form this unbreakable bond mostly through being traumatized by early tragedy, which is why--even when berdly is a Dick--noelle could never truly hate him. they understand each other better than anyone in the whole wide world, and these moments are the basis to that friendship.
when jay moves out and stops returning peter's calls, berdly becomes the target of his father's expectations. not only is berdly expected to become a scientist or a business mogul, but he's also expected to be mature enough to watch over the house whenever peter leaves for work (he actually Does take another pretty lengthy break from his business trips, but he still has to drive an hour away to his office every day so berdly's alone a lot). berdly starts to become isolated and retreats into himself, growing quiet in class and almost fearful of meeting new people. this is probably when his insecurities are at their Highest and he feels the least self-worth.
then, there's the spelling bee, where berdly gains his new character trait: being smart
unfortunately, this meant he basically started following his father's ideologies to a t. he threw himself into his studies (as elementary as they were for a literal 12 year old) and tried to block out the part of himself that loved reading just for the joy of it. he put all of his favorite novels on the highest shelves in the house so he wouldn't be inclined to pick them up, replacing them with mathematics textbooks and encyclopedias. alongside this change, he also makes himself more independent, which gives his father the excuse to start going back on business trips. this isn't good because it isolates berdly once again, but this time he has a coping mechanism: video games
he inherited his sister's old ds when she moved out, but he didn't start doing a lot of Serious Gaming until the christmas he received his first playstation. from there, he became a gaming nerd and basically began to form into the berdly we know presently. are these coping methods healthy? certainly not! does he need therapy? definitely! but we're not even done making berdly's life worse because i haven't even brought up his STEPMOTHER yet!!!!
when berdly is 14, she meets ember, his father's new girlfriend. she's a flame elemental (like the flame people in undertale and deltarune) that peter met on a dating app. he's not particularly a big fan of her; in his opinion, his mother was is and will continue to be the best woman on earth. but his protests are ignored and, before berdly knows it, he's attending the wedding of his father and...this lady. she moves in immediately after and berdly detests every moment he spends sitting next to her at the dining table.
ember isn't a bad woman. she's just...easily distracted. she doesn't have experience raising children, so she falls back on peter for his opinion. which basically means berdly is Still on his own, only now when he comes home he can't blast his favorite game osts while he studies. berdly has the very stereotypical reaction to his stepmom--doesn't like her, doesn't want anything to do with her, just calls her "ms. ember" and That's It. he just wants to get through this chapter in the visual novel known as his life as quickly as possible, so he can go out into the world and become a...science guy, or whatever. DEFINITLY NOT AN AUTHOR!!!! NOPE!!!! OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!! THAT DEFINITELY ISN'T HIS SECRET DESIRE, FUELED SOMEWHAT BY WANTING TO CARRY ON HIS MOTHER'S TORCH!!!! HE WILL DO SCIENCE OR BUSINESS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SMART PEOPLE DO
but berdly can't even escape the tragedies of high school before another curveball is thrown his way: better known as robin, berdly's new baby sister.
robin is half-bird monster, half-fire elemental. this translates to her looking like a red bird, instead of a blue bird (also the ends of her feathers sometimes smolder and smoke??? which is cool). hence the name robin.
robin is a baby. there isn't much to say about her. she's a baby and she's very cute and very lovable, and as much as berdly wants to hate her he can't. a part of him wants to stick around robin out of spite of his older sister, who he hasn't been in contact with since that one time she called and he screamed at her over the phone to never speak to him again (which he Maybe regrets. just a little bit). but it doesn't quell the pit of jealousy he gets when he sees ember dote over robin, giving her all the attention she could never bother to give him.
which brings us to the present: where the berdly family is Right Now In Canon
peter is on a business trip and won't be back for another month
jay is in grad school, having not spoken to her family in years and is starting to regret that
berdly, ember, and robin are all home; ember spends her days watching robin, and whenever she's out berdly takes over and helps.
so, uh, yeah!!!! i could probably keep rambling about these guys forever because i love building characters, but i'll leave it here!!! lemme know if you wanna hear more!!! i have satisfied the dark beast within, so now i can rest maybe hopefully god i hope so i have my 9 AM tomorrow

Meeting Their Parents
Request by: @lalisbitch ♡´・ᴗ・`♡
Pairing: Oikawa x reader, Kuroo x reader, Noya x reader
Warning/s: swearing and suggestive themes for Kuroo because he’s a little shit sometimes but we love him of course
Oikawa Toru
➪ he doesn’t show it but he’s really lowkey panicking inside yknow 
➪ not once in his life had he brought a girl home for his parents to meet, so he’s going to be nervous about it despite knowing it’d turn out fine
➪ it’s the realest thing he’s done for his partner, it was like sealing an invisible seal that he’d cling to you for as long as time would allow just because you’ve gone to this stage
➪ “Toru, what if they don’t like me?” You say, staring up at him as the both of you stood outside his house 
➪ “They will, they loved you ever since you started having me listen about overworking and all that,” he smiles reassuringly 
➪ right, his parents love you, what was he so anxious about again? 
➪ THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. YOU SET THE FUCKBOY STRAIGHT AND HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. 
➪ SHALL HE START THINKING ABOUT MARRIAGE? WAS THIS TOO SOON?
➪ “You’re not very convincing you know,” you give him a pointed look as you squeeze his hand in yours, referring to his sweaty palms 
➪ but it actually turns out alright for both of you, his parents adored you and you easily made conversation especially with his mom 
➪ also, he forgot all worries in the first place ever since you set foot inside, seeing his mom hug you like you’d be the perfect daughter-in-law 
➪ “Itadakimasu!” the four of you say in unison as you all dig in your dinner, which was quite extravagant at that 
➪ “This is really a lot, but thanks” you politely say as literally all of the Oikawas put as much food as they can on your plate
➪ “You guys are overdoing it a little,” he frowns at his parents and they give him a chuckle
➪ cue your eye roll as your boyfriend puts another spring roll on your plate as if he wasn’t feeding you enough
➪ "This kid is just so hard-headed sometimes that I randomly smack his head when I recall all the headaches he gave me,” his father tuts
➪ you’re now in their living room, all of you casually sitting on the floor as you ate ice cream 
➪ “I KNOOWW,” you totally vibe with his dad and Toru doesn’t even know if he loves it or not, the both of you going against him. “He’s very childish too! I just cover my ears sometimes when he’s whining!” 
➪ His parents burst out laughing but your said boyfriend whom you just stated to be childish wasn’t pleased okay maybe a bit, he just really loves the mood you brought in his home
➪ He gives you a scowl, taking a spoon from your ice cream and sticking out his tongue at you when you glare at him 
➪ “See? Childish,” you sigh, and his parents were more than happy to agree with you on that one 
➪ The night wrapped up by about ten pm and his parents apologized profusely for keeping you so late but you assured them you had so much fun 
➪ “So? How was it y/n-chan?” He smiles down warmly at you as he walked you home 
➪ “They’re really lovely,” you grin up at him, “I can see why you were raised quite well, minus the... you know, Toruness,” you shrug 
➪ “You mean you could see why you fell for me?” He jokes, his hand leaving yours so that he could wrap his arm around your shoulders
➪ he may or may not have grabbed your chin, tilting your face upwards to kiss you because he’s been keeping all his emotions at bay for hours 
Kuroo Tetsuro 
➪ confident as HELL 
➪ so SO confident that he didn’t warn you beforehand
➪ no, no, he didn’t feel the need to do so even though you were wearing his shirt from the night before and your lazy pajamas 
➪ not to mention your disheveled hair?!!!
➪ “Ohayo,” he breathes out, pressing a kiss on your forehead as you started waking up from your sleep 
➪ With a yawn, you ask, “what time is it?” 
➪ “It’s time to have breakfast, c’mon, get up,” he grins, planting a kiss at the base of your neck when you groan 
➪ “I’ll wait outside, you better not take long,” he says with a knowing look, it wasn’t a threat but you knew it wasn’t empty either
➪ your boyfriend and his infinite sex drive, you thought as you shake your head
➪ you lazily get up and follow him outside, rubbing your eyes, you say, “Tetsu, we didn’t get to study last night because of your antics so let’s sta-” utter silence. 
➪ are you dreaming or are you dreaming 
➪ you might just die on the spot, with no mistake, his parents were on the dining table with Kuroo
➪ THE SAID KUROO, was only grinning on his seat as he looked at you 
➪ Face flustered and red, you immediately bow to them and apologize
➪ WHAT THE FUCK YOU’RE WEARING HIS SHIRT
➪ “Oh, don’t be so polite, c’mon dear sit beside Tetsuro,” his mom waves you off with a smile as his father chuckles at you 
➪ “I’m really sorry,” you say again as you took your seat beside your boyfriend lmao you’re about to dump his ass while stepping on his foot 
➪ it didn’t faze him one bit, his smug grin only grew wider as he enjoyed every second of your flustered state
➪ but you easily forget how tense you were at first, his parents are really outgoing and his dad was especially funny
➪ he knew all along how it was going to pan out thus his confidence and dick move of not telling you ahead 
➪ “I’m really sorry again for intruding, Tetsu told me we’d be the only ones here,” you say again, subtly elbowing him from beside you 
➪ “You didn’t tell her?” His mom hisses but his dad merely looked at his son proudly 
➪ “It will save me from all her panicking anyway,” he shrugs before looking down to meet your death glare with surprisingly loving eyes
➪ “Plus, did you see the look on her face?” HE WHEEZES, the audacity of this man, you were so sure he was going to say something nice 
➪ shortly after breakfast though his parents left for work, and you were both alone in the house again 
➪ sulking the entire time, shrugging off his hugs and pushing him away every time he leans in for a kiss
➪ “Kitten, I said I was sorry,” he apologizes again, a small smile on his lips which only made you scoff
➪ “Then act like it you asshole,” you bite back, turning away from him on his bed and stealing the covers all for yourself
➪ “Asshole?” He mocks your words tauntingly
➪ “you’re getting too bratty don’t you think little girl?” he says, and you could only imagine the sadistic grin he had on as his breath fanned right against the back of your neck 
➪ Let’s just say you both relived the night before, if not longer 
Nishinoya Yu
➪ one word, three syllables
➪ BAR!!BE!!CUE!!
➪ he had just picked you up from your house, dropping in for a few minutes to chat with your parents about how he’s been because they’re all over him tbh 
➪ the two of you were just so opposite, you being so shy and quiet and Noya being so loud and bold, they could only want him for a son 
➪ so here you both are, on your way to his place because you were gonna have a barbecue out his lawn
➪ you’re clearly nervous and you’re about to cancel the whole thing, you’re just really shy and all that
➪ your boyfriend on the other hand was the most energetic kid you’ve seen him been, grinning at you when you get close to his house
➪ “Yu, take me home,” you gulp, stopping on your tracks 
➪ he stops to look at you before literally jumping towards you to give you a hug, basically almost tackling you to the floor 
➪ “Yuuu,” you whine, but hold him in your arms too nonetheless 
➪ he laughs at you, knowing you weren’t at all annoyed by him, he just wishes he’d rub off on you with his carefree personality 
➪ “Y/n darling what’s there to worry about?” He playfully says, pulling away
➪ Noya’s not one for pet names so that ultimately made you blush
➪ “I know you feel nervouse y/n, just squeeze my hand tighter if it’s too much and I’ll get them to talk to me instead,” he gives you a warm smile
➪ but not once did you do as he said, because you loved it, you actually enjoyed his parents’ company and had completely let go of your shyness
➪ they were really kind, and like Noya, they were people who liked to laugh out loud and had the warmest eyes that made you feel at home too 
➪ “It’s not so bad, is it?” he says low enough so that only you two could hear, and you nod back at him with a smile
➪ he looks proudly at you, though you don’t notice since you were eating
➪ but it was all too clear to his parents, their son was so whipped and beyond saving with you 
➪ “Do you want more soda?” He asks, about to grab your empty glass before his parents beat him to it
➪ “I’ll get it for you dear,” his mom says at you and you say a quick thank you 
➪ “We’re about to slice some watermelons so we’ll be back with some good stuff,” his father calls, patting both of your heads in adoration before walking away too 
➪ “Yu,” you say, looking at him as he chomped on his meat
➪ He looks back at you, grease tactlessly around the corners of his mouth and meat sticking out from his lips 
➪ “Thanks for today,” you smile, bringing the hand that was holding yours the whole time up your lips
➪ he awaits your actions with wide eyes and anticipation
➪ AND YOU KISS HIS HAND, YOUR LIPS ARE TOO SOFT
➪ he completely melts, error 404, noya not found 
➪ HE JUST KNOWS YOU WERE GOING TO KISS HIS LIPS IF IT WEREN’T FOR THE FOOD IN HIS MOUTH 
➪ sad noya noises

An oddly specific hc:
Weaver, Mason, Woods, Adler, and Hudson with an S/O who likes to give+recieve cuddles. (Guess whose love language is physical touch? Is me.)
DJDJDJSJ LITERALLY ALL OF MY HUSBANDS IN ONE ASK !!!! You know, love languages for the squad might be an interesting one, one day! I feel you tho, mine is words of affirmation but physical touch is a super close second 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
Phew I went kind of all in on these, so sorry of they're really long or rambly, but I hope you enjoy them!! Weaver and Woods even feature a little dad bod action bc ik that's our thing 😌😌💅🏻
Adler
Honestly, at first he's not use to it
In fact, you'd be forgiven to think he didn't like it at all
However, he never shuts you down either...
If you persevere for long enough and are able to gain his trust, you'll be rewarded to find that he actually quite enjoys your touch
Well, more then enjoys I'd say
Adlers job is a lonely and thankless one, and although he could hardly bring himself to admit as much...
The loneliness takes a toll on him
He is only interested in receiving that kind of affection from someone he has a connection with, so as you can imagine, it's harm for him to get that need fulfilled without you
In a way, he grows rather addicted to you
You're the first thing he goes for when he comes home after time away
All in all, he's down for whatever you've got to give, but his favorite thing to do is to hold you
Whether that be while cuddled up and or just standing in place, it doesn't matter to him
In turn, he particularly likes when you stroke his jawline or pepper him with kisses
He's very sensitive about his face and scars as you know, doubly so after the torture and rescue stuff he went through
So when you show extra affection to that spot, not only is it a huge sign of his trust in you, but it also just so happens to make him melt
Hudson
Hudson is an extremely similar case to Adler in that, although you wouldn't guess it, he craves physical touch
In fact, Hudson might be even worse off
I would argue that at least Adler works with his task force members, but Hudson???
He's more or less forced to stick to the shadows and only speak to others on a more or less need to know basis
Given that cannon Hudson has a whole wife and kids, I get the feeling that he just wants to be loved damn it!!!
So all this to say that, unlike Adler, I don't think Hudson would be even remotely as coy with his desire for affection
I mean, if you've managed to snag a relationship with him, he must trust you a whole lot already, so why not just clear the air, right?
However, I will say that I think he might be a little shy about it
What if he comes across as too needy or something? Not a good look for a grown man, surely
As a result, if he has nothing more pressing to attend to, he'll be your shadow around the house all day long, from one room to the next
Of course, he does his best to not follow you step for step or do anything else that would obviously give him away, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out what he wants
You'll have to invite him to come to you most of the time
And good thing too, bc when he's with you, it's like heaven
He's fond of simply collapsing into your lap when your seated, or across your torso when laying down
From there, you can do whatever you want
If you really wanted, you could balance a damn book on his back and just read in silence for all he cares
As long as he can have that physical connection to you, it doesn't matter
This is another area where he's a step up in extreme from Adler
While Adler wants you, Hudson needs you
You're like his one place of rest in the whole world, the only place he can be safe and forget about his work, and you have no idea how much that means to him
Mason
Personally, I think Alex is probably the one most (relatively lmao) well adjusted adult of the group
He of course loves receiving physical affection from you, but he doesn't need to rely on it as some sort of coping mechanism
While he can be a little clingy, its a usually only after times that he has to be away for a long while
Personally, I feel like Alex is the safest for me to say that he probably also has physical touch as his love language as well!
He will often come seek you out just as much as you so for him, and he has no problem requesting some snuggle time
Mason is perfectly confident in his masculinity after all, so asking if you wouldn't mind cuddling him is a simple task in his eyes
The height of his interest in touch comes when he's trying to sleep though
He's prone to pretty awful night terrors given all that he's been through, so I'd say that's the only real time that he truly does rely on you and your gift
Even if it's just something as small as holding his hand while you lay next to him, any little bit helps
He definitely notices more difficulty sleeping when you're not around, so he's thankful for you for sure
Mason is also pretty big on pda I think lol
Like holding hands, hugging, and kissing...
None of that bothers him!
Although he enjoys nearly all forms of touch from you, he'd have to admit that he loves it the most even you run his back or hold his hands
It's... Comforting
Weaver
Off, poor Weaver, he's a mess
Imagine someone who burns with an all consuming desire just to be touched damn it !!! like Hudson does, and yet has ten times the reservations and insecurities about it as Adler does
That's close to what Weaver is like
He's extremely shy around you, just to start off
In fact, he's probably still star struck that you actually wanted to be in a relationship with him in the first place
And so, he's not sure how to act...
He really is a big softie on the inside, and yet he's not sure if you'd like that
After all, he's the big, tough Russian guy to everyone else
That's who you met, so it would make sense that that's what you want, right?
While Hudson would warm up after a while and, albeit awkwardly I'm sure, ask you for some cuddling time or some such...
... Weaver almost never asks, but will instead make it painfully obvious that he wants it lol
It definitely does not help that he's quite insecure with his appearance
These days, he's a just a touch more soft and round then he use to be, and that's on top of his missing eye and greying hair
If you are of the opinion that such things only make him more suited for cuddling, warm and comfy as he is, it will take him an awful long time to believe you
Buuuuuuut...
Although he loves to pretend he only tolerates his at best, he does rather enjoy it when you give his chest or tummy some affection
It's sort of like Adler and his scars: Weaver loathes the state of his abdomen, amongst other things, but he must admit...
He likes that you like it
Woods
Geez, Woods is probably as opposite from Weaver as it gets
I once heard the phrase "a dog in human form", and honestly?
It doesn't get more accurate then that
This man lives for attention and the fact that you want to give it to him, drives him crazy
He's pretty shameless, and is down to be touched or felt basically whenever
It's to the point that he's taken up walking around the house shirtless just in anticipation of any cuddling or rubs to be had
He's a bit performative about it, which can be either entertaining or annoying depending, but he never misses an opportunity to show off his muscles to you and let you have a feel
Really though, anywhere you want to touch, however you want to do it, go ahead baby! He'll eat it up lmao
Of course, if you catch him at a time in his life where he's going the route of Weaver and developing some dad bod...
Totally different story
If that's the case, he's extremely adverse to letting you touch places like his thighs, chest, and of course his stomach
Really, just anywhere that's filled out
Which in his mind, could very well extend to his body as a whole
Needless to say, this creates a very powerful inner turmoil between his desire to be near to you and impress you, and his fear of rejection
With this Woods, it'll take a loooot of gentle touches and reasurace to bring him around
But once he trusts you, he's be right back to how toned Woods would act
Bare chested, tummy out, and ready for some lovin 😌

IMAGINE if you will. to go along with the below anon and your POV fics. And I mean this with the utmost respect for you and your ideas. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!
BUT BEWARE BESTIE. It ends in the middle because in my mind I don’t know where it would go from there. How would liv and Elliot interact in a professional setting but they are together and their personal lives? What would they talk about? This is new territory for them and I can imagine them being super private about their relationship in the workplace and not wanting to show too much.
Feel free to end it for me! Or rewrite as a whole fic. I can’t and could never capture the characters as well as you. LOL 🤣🥰
They hire someone else to replace Morales and this guy only knows the basics of what happened the year before with Wheatley. He knows the case, that Morales was the mole, and pretty much just what he had seen on the news. 
The squad doesn’t talk about the Wheatley case much and is focusing their attention on their new case. They’ve all been working crazy hours and this new guy knows bell and Stabler, being the leads, haven’t been home at a decent time in days. 
Bell has made comments here and there about her wife being upset at her, but knows it’s the job and this stage of the case doesn’t last forever- but they still don’t see eye to eye on it sometimes. The rest of the squad goes around talking about their lack of social life while laughing and discussing where they’re going to happy hour later-if they get out soon enough.
This guy has noticed though that usually, Stabler just smiles laughs and goes along with the squad but rarely offers any information himself. In fact, he doesn’t think he knows anything about Stabler’s life outside of the squad room.  Not that he hasn’t asked about what the deal is, but usually people tell him to mind his business or to get back to work. 
Until one night it’s just him, Sloot, and Washburn and he hears two kids arguing in the entryway about (enter problem here) and a woman telling them that they’ll figure it out when they get home.  he assumes that this woman is their mother. They all said share similar features and the younger one had even exclaimed that she was when arguing with her about why he didn’t get his way.
She’s leading them into the squad room while looking down at her phone and the older child is carrying a substantial amount of Chinese food. Sloot and Washburn are going over something on the computer and haven’t noticed this woman walk in with her kids so now guesses he has to deal with it.
What is this woman lost? Who comes in here with a couple kids? He had never seen her before and from what he was told this location was pretty secure. 
By now Washburn and Sloot have finished their conversation and he asks this woman if he can help her. It comes out just as exasperated as he feels and she is clearly shocked at the greeting she is getting. The two go back-and-forth, with this woman being understanding, for a little while before he notices that Washburn is behind him laughing. Even more annoyed now he turns around to snap at Washburn. But before he can, Washburn greets this woman and it’s clear that he knows her.
He greets her as Captain Benson and regret is immediately etched on his face. He will knows he will get shit for this later or worse if Stabler and Bell find out. Being disrespectful to a senior officer is a big no-no around here. How was he supposed to know this woman was a captain? Who was she and who are these kids?
It was just then that the younger one high-fives Sloot before turning to his mother and asking where his dad is. Sloot looks at the woman and responds to the child that he should be back soon. They were out following up on a lead and are expected back any minute. Shit. He knows Bell and Stabler are out but for once never made any connection. He can hear Washburn continue to laugh as the confusion is clearly written on his face. Washburn makes some comment about how he’s going to hear it from stabler when he returns. 
The older child has since put down the food they brought for everyone and unlocked his phone to scroll through various apps. Everyone’s head turns in the opposite direction towards the door when it slams open and their commanding officers walk through the door. It’s clear they’re both upset. But whether it’s from exhaustion or their lead not panning out, no one is certain.
...
ANON!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 FUCK me this is good lmao
Ok ok ok so new guy let's call him Taylor. Taylor's standing there, looking at this woman he doesn't know, this Captain he has just insulted, however inadvertantly, this Captain who turned up with her hands full of Chinese and her kids.
Bell and Stabler, they're grumbling together as they come walking up, not paying much attention to anything else, but then Bell catches sight of the woman, and she offers a tired little smile.
"Reinforcements?" She asks as they approach. She reaches out, shakes hands with the Captain.
"Dinner," the Captain says. "There's enough for everybody," she adds, and shoots Taylor a knowing look. He wonders if she can see that his face is hot from embarrassment.
"You're a saint," Stabler tells her, steps up to kiss her cheek. He reaches for her hand, too, gives it a little squeeze while he's at it.
Holy shit, Taylor thinks. The kid was asking about his dad and then here's Stabler, kissing the kid's mom. This woman, she's his wife, and those kids, they're Stabler's kids, he thinks, and shit, how did he not know? Not know that Stabler was married, not know that his wife's a Captain, not know about the kids? Yeah, Stabler never talked about his home life, but shit.
"Hardly," the Captain laughs. Bell is busy dishing out the food, and she and Washburn and Sloot are ignoring Stabler, and his woman, and the boys. Taylor knows he should, too, but he can't help but watch. He's a cop, it's his job to be curious.
"We brought you a toothbrush!" The little one pipes up, holds up a toothbrush still in its packaging, proud.
"And a clean shirt," the older one says, not looking up from his phone.
It's just so...nice. Since Taylor's been there, Stabler's been a hard ass with a smart mouth, quiet sometimes, cocky sometimes, but he's never been soft. Just now, though, with his family, he looks warm. At peace.
"We just wanted to see you," the woman tells him softly. Stabler reaches out, tussles the little boy's hair, but his eyes are locked on the kid's mom. On the wife he hasn't seen for two days, the woman he clearly wants, but can't have in the middle of the station, in the middle of a case.
"One more day, Liv," he says. "We're close."
"You don't have to explain yourself to me," she tells him, and Taylor's thinking that's probably true. She's a cop, too. She knows what the life is.
"Stay," he says. "Eat with us."
And so they do; they all stand around the table together, Washburn and Sloot and Taylor and Bell and Stabler and his Captain and his sons. Noah and Eli, Taylor learns their names, sees how comfortable they are with the rest of the team, how kindly Bell treats them. How no one else seems to think this is weird. It doesn't last too long, tho.
"I'll walk you out," Stabler says, and herds his family from the room. Mom is holding Noah's hand, and Stabler has one hand at the small of her back and one hand on Eli's shoulder. Taylor wonders if he walked them out just to get a chance to kiss his woman in private. Probably so.
"Listen to me very carefully," Bell says to Taylor once the Stablers are out of sight. "You do not ask him about his family." Her voice is deadly serious. "That man's had a hard road, he doesn't need you getting all up in his business."
"Doesn't look too hard to me," Taylor says. "Beautiful wife who loves him, two nice kids, he's got a clean shirt and none of the rest of us do."
"You don't have any idea what you're talking about," Bell says, shaking her head. "I'm just telling you, leave that man alone. And don't let him hear you call her his wife. I don't wanna have to break in two new detectives after he beats your ass."
And that makes no sense at all, but Taylor isn't stupid enough to go against his CO, no matter how curious he is about all this. So he won't ask, and he won't use the word wife, but he's got questions, and he's gonna bide his time, and keep his eyes open.
Stabler comes back, and he's actually smiling. He's had a hard road, according to Bell, but even if that's true, he looks like he's found his feet. Good for him, Taylor thinks.
"All right kids, back to work!" Stabler calls cheerfully.
It's gonna be a long night.

HEY for the prompt game: au 7, trope 3 (i love chaos), and very specific location 2? i'll leave the pairing up to your whimsy i just saw the combination of au and trope and HAD to request it lmao
Foxes as kids, foxes WITH kids, INSIDE ANDREW'S CLOSET.
Guys guys guys there were SO MANY WAYS I wanted to do this that my brain kinda exploded for a moment before I decided to go this route. Hope you enjoy!
---
"Oh no oh no oh no oh no!!!!!”
Andrew looked up at the ceiling, where the small, modern chandelier above the kitchen island swung in time with the distressed shouts and several ominous thumps. He looked over to where his husband was flipping pancakes and rose a single brow in question.
Neil shrugged, as if to say 'How should I know?'
A brief staring contest ensued, continued chaos still racketing upstairs. Finally, Andrew lifted one hand and curled it into a fist. Neil lifted his own, and after a brief round of rock-paper-scissors Andrew sighed to his loss and pushed away from the counter.
Neil caught the edge of his shirt as he passed him, tugging him in for a quick kiss. "I'll put extra chocolate chips in the pancakes."
"Bribery is unnecessary when you won fair and square," Andrew grumbled back.
Neil raised his eyebrows. "You turning down more chocolate? I mean okay, if you're-"
Andrew cut him off with a kiss. "Too late to take it back." Then he turned and headed out of the kitchen, only to be nearly mowed down by a wide-eyed eight-year-old.
"Watch yourself there, Kev," Andrew cautioned as he prevented the gangly child from sending them both to the ground.
The kid's big bottle-green eyes were wide with alarm. "Dad! He's going bonkers! I dunno what's wrong with him." He wrinkled his nose. "Well, there is a lot wrong with him. But I mean I don't know what's wrong with him today."
Andrew sighed, more because he was pretty sure he did know what was going rather than because he didn't. It was honestly better if Kevin just thought his brother was being weirder than usual for as long as possible. He had a feeling that if Kevin could get any leverage on his spazzy older brother he'd turn into even more of a terror than he already was.
Andrew ruffled his younger son's hair and gave him a nudge. "I'll check on him. Go help your dad with breakfast."
Kevin perked up. "Pancakes?"
"Pancakes," Andrew confirmed with a solemn nod.
"Do you think dad'll make one in the silhouette of a dead French guy?!”
"If you ask him, maybe."
That's all it took, and the kid was taking off like a shot again. Andrew watched him go, grimacing at the thought that they would probably have to enroll him in sports this year if only to help him burn off all that damned energy. He was just as bad as Neil.
A scampering upstairs followed by the slam of a door drew Andrew's attention back to matter at hand. The slammed door did not come from either of the boys' rooms, but rather the opposite end of the hall, where Neil and Andrew's room was. In all, this wasn't all that surprising - at least not when it came to his fourteen-year-old. He'd been hiding in Andrew and Neil's closet whenever he got particularly upset since he was four and Neil had performed a "magic ritual" to make the closet a "bunker against all evil".
Andrew climbed the steps and made his way down the hall, stopping once he came to the closed closet door. From inside he could hear the muffled mutterings of an anxious teenager. He lifted a hand and knocked with just two knuckles.
When there was no answer, he knocked again and asked, voice mild, "Can I come in?"
Then he waited, giving his son time to process that he was here for him, whatever the issue was. Almost a full minute passed before a tight, watery voice said, "Y-you can come in."
Permission granted, Andrew swung open the door to find Nicky curled up in the corner, cheeks flushed and brown eyes full of tears. Nicky was technically Andrew's much younger cousin on his biological mother's side, but he and Neil had adopted him when, at two, DCFS took him away from his parents due to a severe case of neglect. The first few years had been tense - because Luther and Maria had tried to fight it - but Andrew's adoptive mother was a child psychologist and Neil's foster sister a renowned family lawyer.
Even without the connections they would have fought to the death to keep Nicky, though. From the second they brought him home, he was theirs, and they were the only real parents the boy had ever known.
"H-hey pops," Nicky stammered through a poorly-attempted smile.
Andrew waved away the bravado and took a seat next to his son. "Should I talk to Grandpa Wymack about getting us a bigger closet? We aren't both going to fit in here much longer," he said lightly, a soft opening for Nicky to tell him what had him so upset.
Nicky laughed, a more genuine sound, then sniffed and rubbed at his eyes. "N-no. I'm sorry. I just..."
Andrew shook his head to stop him. "I would rather pay to have the closet expanded than take away a place you feel safe when you are upset."
As he watched, tears filled Nicky's eyes again, then he launched forward and it was honestly probably a good thing that the closet was a tight fit, otherwise Andrew might have gotten knocked over by the force of the hug. As it were, he was able to catch his son, patting his back only slightly awkwardly as Nicky let out a choked sob and began to ramble:
"..and then I told him that I liked his EARS oh my god Pops I am such a MORON why couldn't I tell him that I liked his eyes like a normal human or even that I liked his mouth or something!? That's sexy right? Oh my god this is terrible. And then! AND THEN I went and I liked about ten of his posts IN A ROW LIKE A CREEP and he NOTICED and then he MESSAGED ME and oh my god I can never show my face again.."
There was very little that Andrew could do other than listen, so that was what he did. As he did, though, he felt a warmth pool in his chest. A warmth that his son felt so safe and comfortable in his and Neil's space that he came here to hide when he felt upset. A warmth that he felt so comfortable, so safe with Andrew that he invited him into that space with him. That his son would cling to him and ramble about his boy problems without fear of judgement. That the biggest problems Nicky had right now were typical teenaged woes, not all the horrors that both Andrew and his husband were far too aware of existing in the world.
"I just don't know what to DO. Oh my god my life is OVER," Nicky finished with a flourish, pulling back and looking up at him with wide dark eyes.
After a thoughtful pause, Andrew finally gave a hum and said, "Well, that depends."
"Depends?"
Andrew shrugged. "Does he really have cute ears?"
Nicky made and high, defeated sound, burying his face in his hands. "They are ADORABLE, Pops. A-dor-a-ble."
"Ah." Andrew nodded his understanding and patted his son on the shoulder. "Then I think that definitely calls for extra chocolate chips in the pancakes."
And, because Nicky was a teenaged boy with boy problems - but he was also still a teenaged boy (and moreover, he was Andrew's son), his head went up and his eyes brightened. "Chocolate chips."
"And whipped cream."
"Oh!" Nicky scrambled to his feet and bounded out of the closet with a flourish, only to come up short when Andrew snagged the back of his shirt.
"And Nicky, those crashes from before..?"
Nicky blushed brightly and glanced out the bedroom door toward his own room and quickly back again. "Um.. I'll clean up after breakfast?"
Andrew put on his most impactful Dad Stare, then gave a firm nod before letting go. "You better. Now hurry on before Kevin eats them all."
Nicky yelped in an entirely new kind of distress, all but sprinting out of the room. "KEVIN DON'T YOU DARE YOU LITTLE MONSTER!"
Andrew watched him go and didn't bother to stop the smile that crawled onto his face from a hidden chamber somewhere in the center of his heart. There was once a time he might have resisted it, when he was younger and wounded and angry, his teeth bared against a world that had only ever hurt him. Now, though? Now there was so much fierce, protective warmth inside of him - so much pride, so much adoration, so much love, that he no longer saw the expression of joy as a sign of weakness.
Shouts and scuffling downstairs pulled him out of his thoughts and he sighed to himself, but he was still wearing the smile as he headed down to breakfast.

━━━ Atsumu Miya is a free-loader. Living inside his twin brother's home as if it was his, he would bring home girls and annoy Osamu most of the time. Y/N L/N is quite the opposite apparently because she's a virgin loser. Being the popular anonymous BL mangaka known as Yamazaki, she stays in the homey abode of her parents and watches boys from afar for references (not for admiration sadly).
Now what will happen if fate decided to tie these two idiots together and made them live across each other in one apartment?

DO YOU GET NERVOUS to the point you wouldn't be surprised that you already took a shit, not pee, but discharge the residue on your pants? That's how a certain H/C-haired female felt as she sat across the table with her editor on the other side. It was only a figurative speech, though; if she took it literally, Y/N would gladly dig her own grave and plan her funeral up to what kind of horrid gown she'd be wearing in her casket.
It wasn't your fault to be this anxious. You've been doing this type of gig for almost five years, yet you couldn't help but tremble slightly on your seat as you noiselessly wait for the male editor to enlighten you with comments in regards to this unreleased chapter. You hate having to go through this type of initiation, but hey, you love your job nevertheless.
"Great work today, L/N-san. You accurately followed my advice when it comes to the panels. As expected from your skills and experiences in the field." Akihito remarked, pushing up his glasses with his thumb and closing the original copy of the printed manuscript.
You now had the ability to breathe as you draw out a deep sigh of relief. "Well, thank the gods for that! When you criticized the paneling of this chap two days ago, I panicked a bit and had to rearrange them all." You rambled on and began to ravish the food on your tray to satisfy your empty stomach. It was a bit difficult to comprehend your words due to the continuous eating of the delicious french fries. However, your editor somewhat understood you in the end.
Akihito watched you chowed down on the poor potato snack and shook his head from the ridiculous spectacle of your hungry state. "You're the infamous Yamazaki, but you asked me to meet up with you in a place like this?" He panned out.
"What do you mean? And didn't I tell you not to say my pen name out loud? What if people might hear you!"
"Y/N, we're in McDonald's." Your editor frowned, gesturing around the place full of children with a nudge of his thumb. With the sudden dilemma of your hidden identity, he cocked a brow and turned his head to glance at the screaming little monsters chasing each other on the matted floor. It was clear to him that these youngsters didn't pay any mind to their talk.
"We took the table by the playground. I don't think kids of their age would know someone who makes picture books of men sucking-".
"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! STOP!" You cut him off right before he could finish his ambiguous statement. You took a bite on the fry you were holding and dipped it in the blob of ketchup on the tissue paper. "I chose this fast-food resto because the atmosphere in this place is loud. I don't want someone to hear you nor see the material you're reading." You licked the salt off your fingers once you finished eating your fries.
His slanted eyes squinted in suspicion as his onyx irises surveyed your get-up from head to toe. Your patterned sock-covered feet nestled on black Adidas slippers as you had plaid trousers that seemed to look like matching pajama pants of a clothing set. The white shirt with the oppai logo you wore made up for your lacking asset. However, the best feature of this apparel you came up with was the unusual pair of large rimmed shades covering your eyes. "It seemed like you do know how to act natural, Y/N..." Akihito trailed, deciding not to ridicule the outfit you chose to wore for their meeting since he knew you were in a hurry to meet the deadline.
Your eyes glanced at the watch wrapped around your wrist and realized the current time. "I better get going. My mom would kill me if I didn't do the groceries. Thank you for today, Akihito!" You pushed yourself off the table, sitting up from the cushioned seat then bowing towards the male.
The brunette also stood up for courtesy's sake, softly smiling at you in gratification. "Thank you for your hard work as well, L/N-san. I'll make sure to send out a copy of the weekly magazine as soon it releases to the public. Your international fans will definitely enjoy this chapter once the global publishing company releases the translated magazine." He assured.
"Well, I'm happy to hear that everyone gets to enjoy my works! I'll see you soon, Akihito." You gave him a lazy grin as you turned your back and left for your pending chore.

"That man sure bought a lot of cleaning products." You thought out loud as you recalled the fascinating scene of a fellow shopper with a basket full of cleaning merchandise. You couldn't pinpoint his looks since the guy was wearing a face mask. But from his athletic build and large hooded eyes that made the other shoppers distance themselves away, you had a feeling he's good-looking. It wouldn't be surprising if he already has a girlfriend.
Or a boyfriend if he likes bananas over tacos.
Your little bubble of thoughts soon popped as you stood outside the gate of your household, staring at the moving boxes stacked on the grassy floor of your mother's garden. 'Now, what are they up to?' You mused, having a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach from the cardboard packages.
You hoisted up the two paper bags full of groceries against your chest and pulled the gate open. "Mom! Dad! I'm Home!" You greeted out, walking past the boxes and almost tripping on one of them. Your left arm had lifted the groceries with difficulty as you used your other hand to twist the doorknob of the front door.
The spruce door was pushed open by your right arm. As you took a step inside, your ears caught a pitched bark from the end of the hallway. A smile fixed on your lips once the familiar energetic sound registered in your mind.
"Kazu!" A short-coated corgi ran out from one of the doorways as it continued to bark and jump from the excitement of its owner arriving back at home. Its fluffy butt waddled with every step it took with its soft paws— bouncing a couple of times once you called out its name.
You smiled from ear to ear, "You miss me, boy?" You cooed, slipping out of your slippers and setting the bags of groceries on the hall table by the door. The dog barked softly and looked up at you with his beady eyes, wagging his tail and letting out another bark in reply. You would've played with this cute bunch that the gods have blessed you with, but the questions about the boxes haven't stopped galling you for answers.
"Where's mom and dad, Kazu?"
Kazu tilted his head and barked as if the corgi understood what you were trying to tell him. The dog turned around and darted over to the staircase leading upstairs. 'Maybe that's why they didn't hear me.' You thought to yourself and followed your dog over to the flight of stairs. The fluffy puppy used his time in climbing up the steps, but you decided to scoop the dog up in your arms and carry him midway due to how hard of a time the corgi's having.
You gently placed Kazu back on the floor after you both reached upstairs. Your brows furrowed together as you caught the sight of the two pieces of luggage outside your bedroom door. If your gut was telling you before that something grave might happen, it was screaming at you now that something will. "Mom?" You called out for your mother, needing an explanation for what the hell her parents are doing to her room.
Finally, the said person peeked her head out from the doorway of your room. "Y/N, dear! Welcome back!" She smiled and waved her hand to beckon you over to her side.
"Since you're finally here, your father and I have some great news for you!"
You eyed your mother, suspicious by the way she's acting, but you still heeded her command and took hesitant steps in the direction of your bedroom. "What's happening, mom? Why are you guys in my r-" You weren't able to finish your sentence as you find yourself in an almost empty bedroom with your father sealing a box with packaging tape.
The middle-aged man looked up from what he was doing and beamed once he saw his daughter walked inside the room, "My lovely girl! Great timing! Help your old pal in bringing your stuff outside the house." He hummed.
You didn't know what to say— you already had an idea of what the old couple was about to do, but you don't want to believe it. Your wide eyes shifted between your mother and father, "Don't... Don't tell me that..." You stammered as you were in disbelief from the current event playing right in front of you.
"We're kicking you out, Y/N!"
