#i can want all the things that a romantic relationship has to offer (minus the romance of course) *and* i can be aromantic

i've often yearned to be in a romantic relationship, from when i was pretty young to now even though i now recognize that i'm aromantic and it's not something i actually want when push comes to shove. and this probably isn't anything profound, but i've started to wonder recently if i'm actually yearning for a romantic relationship or if i'm yearning for a deeply meaningful, intimate, and loving relationship with somebody who i can trust and show all the parts of myself and know that they'll always be on my side and spend the rest of my life with, and society has just told me over and over and over again that i can't have that without the romance
#now i know what you're thinking:#'hey jay you talk a lot about queerplatonic relationships and how they're important#and you talk a lot also about how friendships are just as intimate and loving as romantic relationships'#and yeah i do! recently i've been involved in fandom spaces where we talk about these things (like malevolent)#with a lot of other aspec people who share their own experiences (esp. with malevolent with the aro!arthur headcanons)#but i've always been really bad at actually integrating that stuff into how i go about my own irl life#and tbh ... even if it crossed my mind before i never really thought it was a realistic thing to want yknow?#the thought of 'well who's going to give you what you want out of a relationship and be okay with it *not* being romantic'#has definitely crossed my mind many times#but idk! i've always just really wanted that One Person Who Will Be With You Always that i saw growing up irl and in media#and that i still see and love and want#and i still don't know if i personally will ever find somebody who i want that with who won't be looking for romance#but it's finally started to sink in i think that what i want and who i am are not two conflicting forces#i can want all the things that a romantic relationship has to offer (minus the romance of course) *and* i can be aromantic#and these are two things that can coexist#and that real people have! and that i'm seeing written into media! (malevolent my beloved)#it's just helped me wrap my head around all of this a little bit better#personal

So lowkey some mini spoilers involved in my long rant but I was thinking out of all the kings who would be husband material/father material (minus luci cause we don't know enough about his chracter so I won't include him in my little rant) also spoilers for chapter 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So first is our angry boy satan. I definitely know for a fact that he is father material and is a great dad figure. According to sitri, in one of our text chats with him. I've seen a spoiler in his bath card where he even interacts with one of the kids in ghenna, and he's offering words of encouragement to them. Now the man isn't all green flags, let's be honest, I feel like because he gets off to MC's anger it can be hard for him to take the Mc seriously or even hear them out properly so they may or may not be able to have proper talks when issues in the relationship occur, however I do belive that if worst came to worst and he truly did hurt the Mc's feelings he would definitely be quick to make things right and properly hear them out and apologize for his behavior while hugging them tightly. Also, gehenna is known to have romantic traditions, and they take marriages seriously, so of course, the king of that country would take it seriously too. If he had his own kids, i feel like he would be protective of his children, especially if he has a daughter. So he gets a 9/10 score for being hubby material.
Up next is Bell! I love this man sm and tbh I really feel like he would be a great father and husband, but due to his need to wander, that plays a huge role in how his score will be affected. He is super possessive of the Mc, and from what I've seen from his selfie card and bloodshed card, he wants them baddd. I feel like he would want to be by their side cause in his butt card dong-gyun calls beel out about how he cannot call the Mc "his" cause he isn't even by their side and there not even married or dating! Which is true, like if you like it, then you gotta put a ring on it, beel????? But beel has to wander cause in his bloodshed card. He states it's not safe to be around him, and he even states that in his selfie card. So let's say him and Mc do have a kid together he would definitely love his kid to bits, he would try to visit more often, but he would be very scared if his child was near him for longer periods of time cause he dosent want to put the kid in danger. I feel like beel would send mc presents while he's away to let them know he does think about them, and he would text the mc more often, trying to show that he does love them. plus, I see him as the jealous type if Mc gives the kid more attention than him, like if he came back to avios after a long journey and he comes visits mc while there with their kid, I imagine the mc coddling their child so much that they dont even notice beel is back and he gets all pouty and sad, it would make bael hysterically laugh at the site. For now, beel gets a 6/10 cause he doesn't want to be a dead beet dad, but he didn't marry the Mc and didn't make it official cause he wants to keep Mc safe.
Next up if levi! Idk if I see this man has husband or father material but i think he would try his best! He definitely is strict but as we seen in the event with orias, I firmly belive levi would treat his spouse and child like the way he treats orias (like how he doesn't hang orias or threaten him violently) idk I feel like levi would benefit from having a cheerful and bubbly spouse and imagine him having a kid like his spouse? Bro would definitely be smiling and denying he is smiling when his subordinates point it out. In his bloodshed card when the Mc displays a more outgoing side to them levi doesn't seem to hate it, idk that's just what I noticed from his bloodshed card in the first part of the story. Man does have a past that he needs to work on if he does become a father, so for now, I give him a 7/10 because he would provide for his spouse and kid and he would give his child the life he never had, he would be jealous of his child especially if Mc coddled them (so him and beel definitely are jelly types) but he wouldn't say anything and just take his annoyance out on his subjects. Who knows, I want to believe levi has a soft spot for kids like the way Satan does, but we don't yet so we will see as the story progresses.
Last but not least, another favorite of mines along with beel is mammon :D he would definitely be a great dad and spouse but then man does have his delusions and it can cloud his judgement and cause issues in certain matters. Idk y but I see all the kings as girl Dads don't @me but I like to imagine that Mc and the child would be attached to one another and he dosent think nothing much of it cause of Mc tends to be more present but the kid would be so greedy for mcs attention, mammon would feel so left out and get all pouty. I want to think that he sees his spouse and child as his greatest treasure, so he would spoil them a lot, but Mc needs to ground the kid to make sure their not THAT spoiled. I think if mammon had a kid, he would be afraid for their health since it is revealed in chapter 5 that he was a wee little sick boy growing up. He would be constantly montiroting the kids health and growth and EVERYTHING but you wouldn't be able to notice it cause he has a calm composure and it's hard to read him, so Mc as his spouse has to also GROUND HIM and let him know that their kid will be fine. (Damn I need more lore of mammon and his unbringing, I hope we see more in his L cards and future chapters) man's gets a 7/10 cause he tends to be delusional and spoils the kids a lot leaving Mc and his subjects with much work.

The L Word: Faerûn, Part 5: Older Woman Yuri Filler Episode + Act 2
I forgot I was doing this tbh but I want to finish! This is Act 2, the yellow lines in The Chart. Previous part
Tumblr media
Technically the underdark is Act 1, but there's not a lot going on there for these purposes, so the only thing to know from that is Shadowheart is given the Noblestalk but refuses to eat it out of piety. The underdark is one of my favorite places ing-game, but there's not much else to cover relationship-wise (minus shout-outs to toxic dyke supremes Philomeen and Laridda), so my mental narrative skips it it and proceeds to something more entertaining: the Older Woman Yuri Filler Episode.
The Last Light Inn is the single greatest location in the game because it houses all my favorite female characters in close quarters: Florrick, Jaheira, Quartermaster Talli, Isobel, (and usually Alfira, but not in this AU), and various other hotties such as Lassandra. It is essentially The Planet. Thus, I imagine that a substantial amount of dyke drama occurred in the short period of time between everyone setting up shop there and the party arriving. I call it Older Woman Yuri due to having made the executive decision to classify Talli and Isobel as MILFs (albeit barely-qualifying) early on.
The Older Woman Yuri Filler Episode is actually mostly the tense aftermath of pre-canon events, like Talli and Jaheira having a situationship that ended poorly because Talli wanted more than what Jaheira was willing to offer, and rebounding with Lassandra, as well as Jaheira and Isobel fucking exactly once and never talking about it again (but literally everyone knows about it). It's like when you walk into the function and everyone you KNOW has drama with each other is already there, so you have to tiptoe around to avoid the crossfire, but also you need to get in there and find out the latest tea.
I also already posted about my Florrick/Talli ideas once: an urbane counsellor, a salt of the earth Harper, coming together and finding common ground... very romantic. Thus far pretty much the least cursed relationship to emerge in this storyline.
Once the party arrives to kick off Act 2, they promptly discover the plight of the tiefling refugees, which especially upsets Alfira, especially as she learns that Lakrissa was one of those taken. The party promises to do anything they can to find the prisoners, but it's not enough to reassure Alfira. She seeks comfort from Shadowheart, but Shadowheart has been fully spiralling into the Shar sauce since entering the shadow-cursed lands and fails to be appropriately supportive, so Alfira (takes the opportunity and) dumps her. Shadowheart/Alfira situationship = over.
Meanwhile, Karlach is reunited with Dammon and gets her second upgrade, allowing them to be intimate. They're the only ones NOT having a miserable time
Also meanwhile, Alekto is perturbed to discover that Florrick and Talli seem to be gravitating toward each other. This is not because she minds Florrick having other partners, but because her own feelings have been shaken by meeting/fucking Minthara, and now, seeing Florrick needing to seek comfort in someone else shakes Alekto's pedestal-image of Florrick as a woman who can make her feel safe but never needs to feel safe, herself. It weirds her out, but she ultimately realizes that it's time to actually move on, like Florrick has. Nevertheless, she is eternally whipped, and promptly agrees to bebop over to Moonrise ASAP and look for the Grand Duke, as well as the tiefs.
After obtaining Isobel's blessing and the pixie protection, the party scuttles to Moonrise. While scouting the tower, they find Araj, which was Alekto's original quest, but they have more important shit to do now. While trying to gain info from Araj, they get into the whole blood barter thing and Lae'zel volunteers out of curiosity/interest in the powerful potion. Shit gets weird and Araj and Lae'zel have some weird some weird semi-sexual blood kink hookup thing, which upsets Wyll since he's fallen for Lae'zel, which perplexes her but makes her think.
They then discover Minthara about to be executed and intervene, following down to the dungeon to save her from the torturers. Shit goes sideways and fighting breaks out; as the fight spills into the dungeon, they find the tieflings and gnomes and bust them out too.
Once they make it back to the Inn, feelings run high as couples come together and inspire others to be true to their feelings:
Alfira and Lakrissa decide to grow up and commit to each other, and Alfira decides to leave the party and go on with the refugees to Baldur's Gate. (Shadowheart thinks this doesn't bother but it does... why does everything this pastel tiefling does get so deep under her skin!!)
Wyll and Lae'zel come to terms with their feelings for each other. They have the zhak vo'n ash duj encounter which obvi Wyll gets his ass beat, but she still loves him anyway. They dance the night away <3
Minthara and Alekto have the opportunity to talk. They both pick up on the bond they felt after their night together, but are both hesitant to open up more, as they're both in pretty vulnerable states.
At some point, Florrick departs for Baldur's Gate, promising to find Talli again after it's all over.
The rest of the Act 2 plot happens blah blah. Shadowheart, in pretty delicate condition as her world is topsy-turvy and she just got dumped, spares the Nightsong, as Aylin manages to get through to her.
After the party emerges victorious, Aylin and Isobel joyously reunite.
Later (prob should have counted for Act 3, but in my mind Act 3 begins after the Emperor/Gith fight and I feel like Shadowheart's dye job should come first), a reeling Shadowheart is feeling pretty lost. Who is she? What does she have if not Shar? She finally decides to eat the Noblestalk, and in doing so, recovers the memory of her childhood friend. She puts it all together together and realizes that her friend grew up into the woman she used to see in her dreams, and that's who Alfira reminded her of, and they must have been lovers.
Upset, desperate for a fresh start, she begins to work on her hair and are found by Isobel and Aylin, who help and comfort her. This begins the Aylin/Shadowheart/Isobel threesome/casual throuple.
Last: Act 3 and Post-Canon

Anyway, an insanely long post of what I would do differently with Plus and Minus:
I would have their conflict revolve around Zeshou's inherent insecurity when it comes to romantic relationships. He sees so many divorces, and now he sees how heartbroken his father is as his mother dies and realizes that he and Ligong are either going to break up or one of them is going to die and both of those are awful options. So maybe he starts acting a little weird, closing up a little, pulling away a bit, emotionally trying (and failing) to distance himself because that pain just does not look fun and he wants to be ready for it.
And Ligong notices, initially thinks it's grief and leftover sadness from his father. Maybe Ligong DOES go speak to Zeshou's dad, but instead of saying he's going to break up with him, he firmly says he's NOT going to but that they didn't do anything wrong and losing someone he loves should put into perspective that he shouldn't push his son away. And maybe we still have a similar conversation of him accepting them and Zeshou, only they're still together when this happens and so it should feel even more exciting. But Zeshou is still seeming distant and maybe Ligong tries to talk to him about it, actually trying to communicate. These two fuckers are lawyers and best friends, you really don't think they'd want to pry? But Zeshou doesn't budge, Ligong is still worried.
We can still have Zeshou getting drunk, only Nikita is there to talk to him too rather than throwing a drink in his face. They're friends. Friends help. And maybe while talking Nikita realizes she also needs to do something about her own feelings (Can we please just have Nikita be into Amy for fucks sake instead of whatever that was) and they both just encourage each other to talk to their person. Life is short, yes, but why not just enjoy the moment? Why miss out on things just for fear of what might happen? Be ballsy with it. Maybe even a loud, semi comedic scene of "IM GONNA GO TALK TO MY BOYFRIEND" "AND IM GONNA GO TALK TO THE GIRL I LIKE" "JIAYOU" cue both of them throwing back drinks and Yuki being slightly concerned in the background
Zeshou goes to Ligong's house, still drunk, laying against the door and yelling his name. The door opens and Zeshou falls in and Ligong catches him, Zeshou giggling against his chest. This is all too familiar to Ligong. To many times over the years of Zeshou drunken and being outward with his desire for affection. Only this time it's different because this time Ligong has had plenty of experience with it when he's sober. So he scolds him lightly for yelling in the middle of the night, but he's smiling as he closes the door and leads him to the couch because he missed seeing him smile and missed him relying on him in some way. Ligong wants to take care of him, that was the main point of the stupid choice the show made, so show it this way. Of Ligong, you know, ACTUALLY taking care of him.
"Fu Ligong! Fu Ligong, did you know everyone dies?" And he's drunk and Ligong is starting to get a bit worried by the weird mix of his words with the smile on his face "and not only that, but there are a billion variables! A billion. So many things could happen, we see them every day, so many things, Ligong. Xiao-gong. My xiao-gong. That's not a variable, that's the constant, right? That what it's called."
Ligong suggests they go to bed and talk in the morning and starts to pull him off the couch. He smells bad, but sheets can be washed and showers can be had in the morning. Zeshou keeps talking.
"everyone dies, that's also a constant. Or maybe that's the efficient? Fu Ligong, I'm so bad at math, did you know?" "I know" "anyway the variables can be ANYTHING. We could get married or get a dog or i could piss off more powerful guys with bats or you could get a job offer somewhere in a different country and we'd have to be apart, all of these things do things and change things. All of them! Even food! What's that movie, Fu Ligong, the one where every decision you make changes every single thing, even breakfast?" "I'm sure there's a couple with that concept" "yes but the one with the guy–ah, Fu Ligong, you're so handsome. I keep forgetting to tell you. But I'm living in the moment now and in the moment I think my Fu Ligong is so handsome" And Fu Ligong is smiling but he ignores him as he gets him out of his suit "were you not living in the moment before?" "No! That's what I want to talk about" "I think we should talk in the morning" "no! Fu Ligong," and he pulls his arm, a parallel to the first episode, Fu Ligong falling on top of him and getting a kiss that ends in Zeshou laughing, only this time he doesn't try to get off and Zeshou is holding him there "Fu Ligong is my constant. I don't want to be afraid of things anymore."
And Fu Ligong has so many questions, but he doesn't ask right now, he just pets his head and kisses his face and tells him he'll protect him, soft and promising and Zeshou smiles like he just won the lottery, like that was the answer to all of his questions. And he says he loves him, a little too loud for the time of night and without consideration of their neighbors, and Fu Ligong covers his mouth but he's smiling too and he says he loves him too. And they get in bed to go to sleep
And then in the morning they talk about it. Ligong talks more than usual, asks questions he's usually too nervous to ask. Why were you pulling away, was I making you uncomfortable, was I moving too fast? Zeshou says a more coherent version of what he'd said the night before–that Fu Ligong is his constant and he wants it to remain that way no matter what life throws at him and that he'll try to be more honest when he starts to get scared of what the future might bring. Because it's them. It's always been them. It'll always be them.
Then we get the rest of the final episode of them just being stupid in love about it, like we should.

(( Hey are y’all ready to read a infodump I compiled this morning? Trick question, I KNOW you are! ))
(( Context: I was talking to Puff (AKA Buck) about "what the hell does Cal think he and Buck are relationship-wise?" ))
(( During the conversation Cal had with Buck a few months ago where love came up, Cal believed that romantic love means you have a romantic attraction towards that person, and that a romantic attraction means several things: kissing them on the lips, wanting to be close to them both physically (sexual or not) and emotionally, and wanting to go to them whenever you need support, just to name a few. It never really occurred to him that you can do these things with friends (maybe minus the lip kissing); to him, and throughout his life, "friends" means "they're not strangers, we enjoy lunch every now and then, but we don't talk about our personal lives very much, if at all". ))
(( Nowadays...he doesn't know. With Buck, he knows Buck feels ashamed every time they have sex, which makes him think they shouldn't have sex...but he still feels that strong emotional connection. They're not romantic, he knows Buck is not at all interested in romance, but they're definitely more than friends. ...so what ARE they? ))
(( There’s a similar situation happening with Beau. Right now, after having been offered sex (something he associates with romantic attraction) and then having Beau back out (AKA taking that attraction away), he has NO CLUE what Beau is to him, or what HE is to BEAU. What ARE they? Are they Just Friends? That doesn't FEEL right, but they most certainly aren't romantic...right? ))
(( And true, you don't NEED sex for a romantic relationship, but despite not using the label for himself, or even understanding what it is, Cal IS demisexual. He experiences sexual attraction based on emotional connection. It's my personal explanation for why he was never interested in sex before he met the people he knows now: he never really developed that connection with anyone until recently. ))
(( This also means he didn't REALLY love the woman he proposed to while he was alive who eventually scorned him. He dodged a bullet. On the flip side, it’s ALSO what's REALLY fucking him up in the situation with Beau. Beau offered sex ("Oh hey! He wants me! I'm lovable! :D") and then he took it away ("Oh. He took a closer look/thought on it more and realized he DOESN'T want me. I'm...NOT lovable? D:"). ))
(( ...on a similarly related note, Cal feels SO AWKWARD with almost ALL the alternates he's close with now. He feels awkward with Buck. He feels awkward with Beau. He feels...sort of awkward with Ali. All for different reasons: With Buck it's "He feels ashamed every time we have sex AND I think he's phasing me out." With Beau it's "He offered sex and then took one look at me and changed his mind." With Ali it's "I keep getting forced to kiss him and I like it but I don't know if HE likes it." ))
(( TL;DR: Cal’s current thought process is: "Well I thought I knew what romance is but now I don't know what romance is and I am having a hell of a time trying to figure it out all over again.” ))

hugging. lot’s of hugging.
especially in his line of work he wants a lot of physical contact whenever he gets to see you.
when he’s on duty he tries to update you how he is.
when he’s not tho…
he’s all over you
likes to say he loves you a lot
he’s the type to leave you notes that say “I love you.” or a “Take care.” but mostly its the former.
cuddling is a MUST.
because of the horrors he’s seen in his work he perceives physical contact as something that lulls his sanity.
he’s also cool with pda.
short kisses during grocery runs,walks etc.
always has a hand on your lower back or on your shoulder.
or holds your hand :)
honestly if a teddy bear was a person it would literally be him. (minus the cia part)
likes to get his hair ruffled by you.
your first date with him was picnic date by a river in a secluded area.
ngl you almost shit yourself on the way there because you thought you were getting kidnapped or something.
but nope
it turned out to be one of the most romantic things you’ve ever experienced.
a red and white checkered picnic blanket sprawled across the grassy ground, a clean river, along with a wooden picnic basket sat on top, on one of the edges of the blanket.
it was just perfect
he has a photo of you that he brings out when he’s on duty whenever he feels things are getting out of hand or he feels that his efforts to make things better are pointless, it soothes his soul.
it helps him keep up and stay fighting.
when it’s valentine’s day and he’s not on a job, he will literally spoil tf outta you.
bc he believes you are the most beautiful person in this cruel world you both live in and with that alone he will try to give you the best he can offer.

Tumblr media
✎ The summer holidays had always been a time for the poets’ relief.
✎ Their academic year was constantly filled with difficulties for the poets, but it was harder for some when they were home for the summer.
✎ Neil felt as though he couldn’t be himself-- he loved reading and writing even more so than he did with accomplishing any of his parents’ wishes, like heading into medical school. He especially loved to act, and it was rough to keep that concealed around his dictatorial father.
✎ Todd’s older brother would be at home as well, and it was worse enough being in his shadow; but it had gotten worse with every one of his parents’ daily proclamations.
“We were quite disappointed with your grades from last semester, son,” His father reprimanded, looking down on him with stern eyes. “I just don’t understand what’s gotten into you. Your mother and I raised you quite well and you have your brother to guide you along. You know that he’s remarkably intelligent and well accomplished. Why can’t you be more like your brother?”
✎ Charlie and Knox had been just like Neil. The constant pressure that their parents put on them about becoming a banker and a lawyer was daunting; and all they wanted was to simply live as regular teenagers without concern for their future.
✎ Fortunately, Meeks’ grandmother was a woman who had a colossal and motherly love for the poets with a sizable residence in which her grandson’s friends could inhabit during their vacation.
✎ Thus, the poets resided in the Meeks household in the summer before their senior year so as to escape the stress and troubles brought to them in their own homes.
✎ Even though the summer was fleeting and their time was short, the poets found their time to be everlasting when they met the student boarder of the house.
✎ She went by the name of Y/N, which was a name that sounded just as sweet as the lady to whom it was attached.
“Hello, everybody! I’m Y/N!” The girl said, reaching out her hand to shake one of the poets’. Truth be told, it had been quite some time since any one of the boys had been in close contact with a woman; so they found themselves to be quite the martians in the situation. It took a few moments before one of the poets-- Neil Perry-- could offer his hand and shake hers. “I’m Neil! We’re friends of Meeks and his classmates from Welton.” The boy swore that he felt a spark as their fingertips touched, but he tossed the feeling aside; along with the apparition that he saw of a faint glimmer in Y/N’s eyes.
✎ The boys instantly took her in to their little group, and they all fell in love with her personality-- which was a platonic statement of course; but Neil Perry found this to be otherwise as he actually began falling into love with the new girl.
✎ He loved the way she cared for her new friends, the way she projected her personality through the clothes she wore, and all of the little smiles she gave him.
✎ With every beam and twinkle that she delivered, Y/N found herself to be falling for Neil as well.
✎ He provided a feeling for her that made the blacks of her eyes expand and butterflies to quiver inside-- which was the very same one Neil had felt when he first laid his eyes on her.
✎ She had been a fantastic addition to the band of poets, and the boys could not have had it any other way.
Despite the summer coming into fruition, the poets did not fail to meet up in their little cave every once in a while to read poetry, discuss girls, and laugh. The first meeting of that summer was simply like any other. “Guys, what do we think of Y/N?” Meeks questioned. A clamor of answers that ranged between “I think she’s great,” and “Do you think Mrs. Meeks has any more people in her house like Y/N?” echoed in the dark cave. Clearly, the boys had favored Y/N; but certainly not to the point where they’d be infatuated with her. “Yeah, I think she’s nice. She’s really pretty too,” Knox added. “Woah there Knoxious,” Charlie replied, expelling out a chortle. “I don’t think Chris would like to hear that. And besides, she looks more like she’s Neil’s type than yours.” Charlie’s words weren’t incorrect, but it was needless to say that Neil had strongly agreed with that statement.
✎ Over the summer, they would all begin to get to know each other better.
✎ The poets eventually introduced Y/N to the intricate realm of poetry, and she wholeheartedly fell in love with every line that was recited.
✎ They enjoyed every moment of their fleeting time together. Of course, there would be times where the boys would get into small fights and bickers.
✎ Pitts would always be yelling at Charlie for taking an ungodly amount of time in the shower, while Charlie would be yelling back about how Pitts always seemed to inhale the food that Mrs. Meeks provided for them before he himself could even take one bite.
✎ Cameron did his best to do some summer reading at night, but he found it quite hard as his room was beside Knox’s room, and Knox would spend hours on end talking to Chris over the phone.
“Oh, Chris. How do I love thee?” Knox sighed, lacing the telephone cords in between his fingers. “That’s the title of a poem we learned in Mr. Keating’s class. It reminds me of how lovely you are. Of course, she’s not as pretty as you are,” Knox’s giggles not only erupted through the phone; but it travelled through the walls as well, disrupting Cameron from the climax of his novel. “We get it, Knox! You’re a romantic poet! Now why don’t you go tell Chris about how you finished with a D minus in English!”
✎ While all of the little squabbles took place, they hadn’t even noticed the slight change in Neil and Y/N’s behavior.
✎ Y/N seemed to be keeping to herself more often, while Neil appeared to have possessed an undying smile on his face around the poets; particularly in the mornings when everyone gets up early except for him and Y/N.
✎ Little did they know, Y/N’s room had been vacant for the past few days since the arguments began-- which was approximately three weeks after the boys had arrived to the Meeks’ residence; and Neil seemed to be giggling in his room every night when the rest were asleep.
✎ In the duration of those three weeks, Neil had become more familiar with Y/N than any of the other poets had been.
✎ They’d walk along the nearby river every morning, discuss poetry in the late afternoons, and eventually fall asleep in each other’s arms at night.
“How long have you been living here?” Neil inquired, peering into Y/N’s eyes. His vision didn’t have to stretch too far as his face had only been a breath away from Y/N’s. The pair laid together under the warm covers of Neil’s bed with their legs entangled in one another’s and their hands interlocked, talking about anything and everything that came to their minds. “It’s been two years since Mrs. Meeks took me in,” She replied, gazing over Neil’s chiseled face. “In the whole time I’ve been here, I think you’re the most interesting thing that’s happened to me,” Y/N added, beaming up at Neil. Hearing her words, Neil slowly leaned his lips onto Y/N’s forehead, giving her an endearing kiss. She too had been the most interesting thing to happen to Neil in a long time.
✎ For each and every day that they were together, Neil wrote love poems.
✎ His poems revolved around his time with Y/N and included detail of all sorts; such as how colors appeared to be more bright and more vivid when he was with her and how lovelier the birds had sounded in the morning during their walks.
"My love,
The luminosity of the golden sun
does not compare to the radiance
of your glowing skin.
In this air full of morning dew,
the most beautiful scent in the air
is still you.
The sounds we hear of the melodious
birds are all because of your presence,
and they sing only for your beauty.
I look into your eyes and I see nature
reflected back at me; but it is much more
pleasant to perceive than if I were to do so
through my own set of eyes.
Though the morning lasts for a mere set of hours,
My fascination for you can go for as long as
this smooth river flows.
✎ Neil felt embarrassed about being so infatuated with Y/N, so he kept his poems hidden for the time being.
✎ Somehow, the boys had failed to notice Neil and Y/N’s constant disappearance.
✎ Although, they’d make little remarks from time to time that ran along the lines of “Ooh, Neil found a muse!” and “Y/N definitely likes somebody here. It’s probably me.”
✎ The last comment came from Charlie, which later earned him a smack on the head from Neil.
✎ So, Neil and Y/N did their best to keep their relationship hidden throughout the summer.
✎ The two were rather domestic in their relationship; they did all of the typical-couple activities that everyone else had done.
✎ To anyone else it would have been rather common to witness, but to them it was simply extraordinary being with one another.
It had been a scenic day at the river that morning. The beauty of the nature surrounding it had been ordinarily pleasing to Y/N; but all of its best qualities were magnified for Neil as his hand was in hers and the only thing he could smell was her fragrance. He had been quite nervous for the entire morning as he promised himself the night before that he would finally gather the courage to say those three magic words he’d been imagining to say for quite some time. Unbeknownst to him, Y/N had been thinking the same and had been visualizing how she would say it at that moment for the past few hours since. Just when the cascading waters began to relax and the chirping of the birds started to quiet down, the pair stopped on their trail and those three words were finally professed by Neil in a sudden manner while Y/N had spoken the same in a clear and gentle tone. They looked into each other’s eyes, recognizing the same look of love and eventually realizing what was said. As it was acknowledged, the two lovers simply smiled at each other and kept walking along; their hearts now beating on the same rhythm and their minds thinking of nothing but one another.
✎ Time to time, they would go up to the attic and listen to the music from Mrs. Meeks’ old gramophone, caressing one another as they slowly dance along to the lyrics of Ella Fitzgerald’s songs.
✎ Neil would always sneak a flower out of Mrs. Meeks’ rose garden and leave it on Y/N’s bedside table for her to wake up to.
✎ One of Y/N’s ways of communicating her love would be recommending books to Neil that she thinks is encompassed with his personality. Since then, Neil’s library had enlarged to a great extent.
✎ There would also be some occasions where one of them-- mostly Neil-- would get a little cheeky and try to express their love for the other out in the open.
“Eat up, boys! You know there’s plenty more of where that came from, so don’t be afraid to dig in!” Mrs. Meeks endorsed, setting down a bowl of mashed potatoes. With a jubilant ‘thank you’, everyone at the table promptly began to tuck into the mouthwatering cuisine. The boys soon found themselves distracted with the heavenly taste of Mrs. Meeks’ cooking; and Neil took this opportunity to covertly sneak his right hand onto Y/N’s thigh under the table. A scarlet blush crept its way up to Y/N’s cheek as she sent Neil a glare. Though her eyes expressed the message of “Not here!”, every other signal in her body sent the message of ‘Yes, Please’ to a very triumphant Neil.
✎ The summer inevitably came to an end and the boys were forced to return to Welton, much to their dismay.
✎ They couldn’t stand ending their summer; and they especially couldn’t stand leaving their new friend behind while the rest of them stayed together.
“Oh God, How are we supposed to leave this beautiful girl all alone in this big house?!” Charlie pleaded, theatrically dropping down to his knees and shouting out loud to the heavens. “It’s all just too emotional for us,” Pitts added as he went along with his friend’s act, his head bowing down to the ground in grief as he placed a comforting hand on Charlie’s shoulder. “Just take me with her, God! Let me be with Y/N at her all-girls school!”
✎ Despite all of the inconveniences they put upon Y/N, the poets really did leave a mark on her. These boys showed her a new way of life-- she knows what ‘Carpe Diem’ means, and she knows how to seize her days because of them.
✎ Of course, Neil had a harder time coming into terms with their departure more than anyone else.
✎ Leaving the Meeks’ residence meant that he was leaving Y/N, which was something that he hadn’t prepared himself for.
“I’m not ready to leave you,” Neil confessed. Tears were beginning to form in his eyes, but he quickly blinked them away. After the individual hugs and goodbyes Y/N had given to the rest of the poets, the ill-fated time had come when she had to bid her own farewell to her lover. Neil believed that though their time was short and fleeting, it truly had been something special and something that he’ll never forget. Y/N was his first love, his first muse, his first everything; and no amount of riches could ever sum up to the prominence of that. Y/N placed her hand on Neil’s face, stroking away his tears with her thumb as she felt her eyes begin to swell up as well. “I’ll write to you every day, Neil.” Naturally, Y/N was on the brink of tears as well. She couldn’t bear to leave Neil after everything he’s shown her. It feels like she’s known him forever, yet everything felt so new and exciting with him. She loved him too much, and she knows she’ll continue to love him long after.
✎ Neil was afraid that she would forget about what they had soon after she had left, so he decided to give her all of the poems he had written about her.
✎ As her hands clasped the thick set of parchment, the tears she had been trying so hard to conceal had all poured out, staining the paper and her hands.
“Neil… these are beautiful,” She croaked. Her eyes skimmed over every title and date, realizing that there had been a poem for each and every splendid day that they had been together. “You’re beautiful, Y/N. That’s why I wrote these,” Neil corrected. “Everything I love about you is in these poems, and all of the love I have for you is written in each letter. I just don’t want you to forget about me while we’re apart.” The absurdity of Neil’s words made Y/N chuckle softly before she stepped forward and linked her hands around Neil’s neck, reducing the space between their lips. “I love you, Neil. You’re always going to be in my mind and you’ll always have my heart in the little pocket of your Welton blazer.”
✎ Y/N felt truly fortunate to have met Neil. This summer had come as quite a surprise for her-- she did not expect to fall in love so soon and with such an extraordinary person like Neil Perry. He was everything she’d ever looked for and he gave everything she deserved.
✎ Even though the bright days of the summer had ended and the early falling leaves of the autumn was yet to arrive, the change was of no concern as the only thing that mattered was what had been consistent-- and for Y/N and Neil, the thing that stood still for the two of them despite all odds was each other.
dedicated to these lovely people!! @mybabysweetascanbe @disagreeingpoets @catflowerbean @galaxyrhytm @nananostalgic @ughgclden @towriteabetterlife @neilsemeraldsweater @yourpal @willowestelle

So, I feel like rambling about something that came to mind due to the shipping discourse (which has thankfully died down deargodihopethisdoesn'tsparkthedraumaupagain)
MINOR SPOILERS FOR CENTAURWORLD SEASON 2
So, even though Centaurworld 2 has a bunch of moments that lean towards the Herd being a family. But season 2 does have one moment that slightly leans away from that and one moment that leans HEAVILY away from that due to implications (I'll explain why this is a problem later, but please read all of this first).
The first moment is when Glendale and Zulius said "But we're platonic" when the Birdtaurs say they've shipped them (all the characters) in every different way. If they wanted to go with the "Herd is a family" angle, they should have said "But we're family" or better yet, not say the line at all.
The second and biggest moment is Ched having a crush on Zulius. Looking at this from the perspective of the herd being a family, this turns kind of creepy real quick. Having a crush on your family member, regardless if it's reciprocated or not, is creepy and it being treated like a normal crush is doubly creepy. And the only reason Ched gets over this crush is because Zulius is taken. He does have a kid with Gary (we can only assume it's his based on the egg patterns), but that doesn't automatically mean the two are in a relationship. (I also realized while typing a below segment that if it wasn't played off as a joke, it'd be super weird of Wammawink to ask her adopted daughter (Glendale) to make softcore porn of her fetishes with the threat of starving her. I don't think it was actually that bad, just something that came to mind)
Is this post anti-"The Herd is a family"?
NO. IT IS NOT. It is 100% okay to view the Herd as a family. There is NOTHING wrong with that
I'm just pointing these moments out because people don't seem to talk about how these moments in relation with the idea of the Herd being a family. Either the writers commit to the idea of the Herd being a family and remove these moments (I'm not saying Ched shouldn't gain a crush on anyone, but if they want the Herd to be a family, don't give Ched a crush on a Herd member) or they just make the Herd a super close group of friends, thus keeping these moments, and tone down the stuff that says the Herd is a family
It's kind of a "enjoy your cake and eat it too", especially with the whole "Ched having a crush on Zulius"
As for where I stand in the Herd being a family thing, I know this opinion will make half of the people reading this go, "Oh thank God. I'm not the only one" or "WTF. Why???", but here me out
I like to think the Herd isn't entirely a family. More like, "A bunch of close individuals, some have a familial love, but others don't". I've always felt this way about them (I don't know why, but it is how I feel) and season 2 probably solidified that. I'd feel much more comfortable with Ched gaining a crush on one of his friends as opposed to a family member.
And even tho no one asked, let me list all the bonds I think are familial in the Herd
Wammawink views herself as almost everyone's mom (minus Horse and Zulius)
Durpleton views Wammawink as his mom
Glendale veiws Wammawink as a sort of guiding figure/semi-mom figure/fully mom figure? (Glendale can't make up her mind)
Durpleton and Glendale veiw each other as siblings
Ched doesn't entirely view Wammawink as his mom, but at the same time, he also doesn't see her as a friend. It's difficult for him to explain
And even tho also no one asked, here's all the non-familial bonds I think are in the Herd
Horse and Wammawink have a romantic interest (Wammawink gained a crush on Horse after Horse offered to carry Wammawink on her back, and Horse gained her crush on Wammawink when she straight up punched the Beartaur in her sleep) that they don't know how express it to the other
Ched and Zulius are best friends with Ched gaining on a crush on Zulius for some time, and Zulius not caring about Ched's crush, and also not reciprocating it.
Ched and Durpleton are super best buddies and eventually boyfriends
Durpleton and Zulius are best friends and gay solidarity
Zulius and Glendale are good friends and LGBTQA+ solidarity
Horse and Ched are WLW/MLM frienimes
Horse and Glandale are chaos buddies
Horse and Durpleton are good friends
Horse and Zulius are also good friends

Hi Coop!! I'm so excited for this event, thanks so much for holding it!! I look forward to seeing everyone you write for ❤ Could I please get Sanji, Zoro, or Drake with prompt #20, and the theme "Night In"? Modern AU if possible, so maybe spending a night in watching romantic movies and cuddling? Light NSFW if you can work it, if not, no worries!! Thank you so much ☺
Tumblr media
❥ “As You Wish” - Valentine’s Day Event Scenario [ 4 / 14 ]
❥ prompt: “You look so comfy and cuddly. Mind if I join?”
❥ theme: A Night In
❥ pairing: Sanji x F!reader
❥ warnings: light nsfw, super cheesy
❥ word count: 1k
❥ a/n: I'm not really sure where I was going with the plot of this but hey, I offer you both romantic and sexy Sanji 💋
Tumblr media
You sighed contentedly as you buried yourself further in the blankets, a wide, satisfied smile on your face. The Princess Bride displayed on your TV, ready to play, but you were waiting on Sanji to finish showering. In the meantime, you munched on heart-shaped cookies, made by him and ‘baked with love’, as he always said. As you sat in silence, the familiar taste of the cookies brought a fuzzy feeling in your tummy, reminding you of your Valentine’s Day traditions.
As most couples went out, promenading through town and dining at fancy restaurants, you two always stayed in on Valentine’s Day. First was breakfast in bed, then exchanging gifts, reading your annual love letters, a light lunch, naps and cuddles, prepping for dinner, dancing to your shuffled love song playlist, enjoying a delicious dinner that was far better than what any five star restaurant could offer, baking, movies (almost always The Princess Bride), and, saving the best for last, loving, passionate sex. You two didn’t need the expensive trips or romantic strolls. Everything you needed was within the four walls you shared; your home was where your love shone most.
You loved Sanji, more so with each passing day, but Valentine’s Day always felt a little different. In a cheesy way, it was more special. Yes, you had a plethora of anniversaries (Sanji found any relationship milestone a reasonable thing to celebrate) but Valentine’s Day was your day. A perfect holiday for two romantic love birds such as yourselves.
You laughed to yourself as you remembered last Valentine’s Day when you were feeling a little unwell and Sanji had dressed up as Westley, referring to you as Buttercup throughout the day and treating you like a true princess. Of course, Sanji has always treated you like royalty, the only difference to his usual treatment was that he only referred to you as princess or Buttercup, or both, just to get as many laughs out of you as possible. And he never outright said “I love you”, minus a few hiccups throughout his comedic acting, only ever “As you wish”. Those endearments continued to slip every now and then, even to this day, and your heart never fails to flip in your chest each time.
“You look so comfy and cuddly. Mind if I join?” Sanji smiled as he waltzed into the living room dressed in nothing but a faded pair of grey sweatpants that hung loosely at his V-line. Tiny droplets of water cascaded down his toned chest, traveling further south in tantalizing speeds, disappearing in his happy trail. You gulped loudly, stuttering ever so slightly in your response.
“S-sure. I’ve got Princess Bride ready.” You scooted over and he plopped down next to you, nonchalantly reaching over to grab a cookie from the tray on your side table. You tried your hardest to pay no mind towards his fresh scent, nor the way his long arm grazed gently against your chest. Holding your breath proved fruitless as you were instantly overwhelmed by his intoxicating scent. Sight, touch, smell; he was driving you mad in almost every sense. Your tongue weighed heavy in your mouth as you suddenly craved a taste of something other than the cookie you were nibbling on.
Sanji kissed your cheek, reciting Westley’s current line, “This is true love, think this happens every day?”
Captivated, you stared at him, “I’ll never love again.”
As Buttercup and Westley kissed under the burning sunset, and then again in romantic departure, an undeniable arousal coursed through you. You had a sudden urge to replicate that scene and more. Your desires only grew hotter as the movie continued on and soon enough you could no longer pay attention. In brave motions, your hand grabbed onto Sanji’s strong thigh, tenderly rubbing at it.
“Oh? Are we skipping to the good stuff already?” He smirked in a cheeky manner. His thigh tensed underneath your touch and you could feel a small twitch in his pants. Your own thighs instinctively squeezed together though you shuffled in your seat in an attempt to hide it.
“Don’t act like you don’t love The Princess Bride.”  
“It‘s not that. Making love to you is just always my favorite part of Valentine’s Day.” Sanji turned to face you, grabbing at your hands with a dreamy look in his eyes and a suggestive grin.
Back when you and Sanji had first become intimate, you could not have imagined such lewd things to escape his lips so easily. He would have tripped over his words, profusely apologized for being so lewd, or even more amusingly, bled all over himself. Yet now, after all these years together, and with plenty of intimate practice, Sanji’s found confidence in wooing you. It was both a blessing and a curse. Your clothes were definitely thankful to avoid blood stains, but a dampness in your panties served as a replacement when he voiced his sinful desires.
“Unless you don’t want to. I’m perfectly content with cuddles and a movie.” He kissed at your wrist, placing his cheek against your palm and holding your gaze to search for any doubt. Was he aware that his gentle considerations for you only made him dangerously sexier?
“I want to…” You whispered. How many years now, and he still made you so shy? It was embarrassing, but Sanji could only find it endearing as he laid you back against the couch, finding home as he settled himself against your waist, peppering the flesh of your calves with loving kisses as he held your legs.
“And what does my princess want?”
You whined, covering your face much to his amusement. You were so damn cute when you got flustered, it was hard for Sanji to compose himself when you were bashful. As you shied away from him, your body couldn’t help but betray you as your legs parted underneath him. He looked down, eyes wide with mischief and eagerness. His nimble fingers made haste with your pajama shorts, pulling them down as he kissed along the soft skin of your thighs, excitedly tugging at the bands of your panties.
“As you wish.”

ACExOC Headcanons cuz im bored and sad
BASICS
Her name is Queen.
She is part of the Heart pirates.
Law saved her life once and she devoted herself to him and the crew.
Queen had a bounty before she met the Heart pirates.
'Queen of hearts ♔'
She may have had a thing for ripping out the hearts of a couple of assholes that did wrong on her eyes.
No devil fruits, no powers, just raw force.
Pure coincidence that she ended with the heart pirates after she got her nickname, but the crew loved it and liked to tease her about it.
'It's destiny our dear queen!'
'Shut the fuck up Penguin'
The crew also loves to call her 'queenie' (minus Law ofc)
ACEEEE
When the crew gets to land they separate to get supplies, or whatever it is they need (sometimes what they needed was just getting drunk).
Queen loves her family but she also likes her personal space (sometimes it gets a bit suffocating on the sub).
So being on her own and exploring a new island, she found the cutest freckled boy she has ever seen.
Unconscious.
On the middle of the street.
And well she may be a murderer but she was not heartless (pun fully intended).
So while the people gathered around him whispering what could have happened she took it upon herself to check if the boy (man?) was still alive.
He was.
He just opened his eyes and she almost died of a heart attack.
Like a gentleman (that makino teached him to be) he offered an apology.
But Queen wanted a compensation so she dragged his ass to a trip around the market for supplies.
Queen does not take a no for an answer(just from Law cuz when he enters the DOCTOR MODE then she may as well be doomed).
They went around town on a shopping trip and well... it was nice, and the conversation was funny.
Later that night the Heart pirates and the second commander of the whitebeards were drunk on a small bar singing and dancing.
Law is still not THAT famous so Ace doesn't know him at all, but Law can recognize Ace from the wanted posters and the news (Law is a very well informed man. He has to be).
The crew likes Ace.
Queen likes him even more.
THE BEGINING
After their first meeting it seemed like they were always on the same places.
They parted on an island? Well they are gonna see each other on the next one.
The heart pirates don't interact much with him but they do tease Queen about it.
'ohh there is your boyfriend'
'geez Ikkaku not you too'
'are you gonna get married?'
'Shut up Bepo'
'I'm sorry :c' (this poor boi)
So every time they see each other they have a small activity together.
Both of them are too stubborn to call them dates.
Both of them are also dorks and blush almost at anything.
Ace has trouble trusting people and has self-esteem issues so the even though he likes Queen he thinks he doesn’t deserve anything that makes him happy. And she does make him happy.
So Queen is the first to confess. It takes her a week on the sub (and Ikkaku yelling at her to stop being so dumb) and two days on an island with him to actually confess to him.
‘ I... I wanted to... but Uhh I mean’
‘Please promise me nothing will change after this...’ she kept quiet after saying that.
Queen refused to look at him in the eyes, was shaking like a leaf and then... she ran.
Cue a poor confused boi.
So for everyone else it might have been obvious what was happening.
But this boi thinks he doesn’t deserve love so he just thinks queen catched a bug or something.
The next day she finally confesses and while poor Ace is stunned, he likes her too.
It takes Ace a couple of month to fully accept that yes, Queen likes him and yeah she is being sincere.
Sometimes he still feels like it’s gonna end on a horrible note.
Queen reassures him that she indeed likes him and she is not going anywhere.
THE RELATIONSHIP
Both of them are hopeless romantics but new to relationships.
While ace has had casual flings he never had something serious, as for Queen, well you can’t have a lot of time for anything of that nature while you are running from your life.
Ace always gets Queen small trinkets that makes him think of her.
Little turtles craved on a rock, small shiny rocks(like a bird), food, and other stuff that sometimes he has no idea what they are but they reminded him of queen.
Sometimes Ace feels self conscious that they are not enough and he is fucking things up.
But Queen loves every single weird thing he gaves her and keeps it on a drawer on the polar tank.
Queen also likes to give him gifts but she finds it hard to get something he would like (jokes on her Ace would love anything she gets him).
They love to cuddle.
She loves to trace his freckles, she finds him absolutely adorable.
They get drunk together quite often.
They are the fun™couple.
THE BIG REVELATION
So it took Ace some time to get the courage to tell Queen about his dad.
He tried to make it as natural as possible.
'So what would you say if Gold Roger had kids?'
'The pirate king? Well I mean... I don't know "
'Was he even the kind of pirate that just goes around leaving women pregnant?'
'I mean what kind of woman would like to... well he was the pirate king so...'
'Jeez Ace why would you ask me about his sex life?!'
'I ASKED ABOUT HIS KIDS NOT HIS SEX LIFE'
'HOW DO YOU THINK BABIES ARE MADE?!'
it was not subtle at all.
They were both very red and embarrassed.
Ace had to be very direct with Queen.
He had a breakdown.
He started yelling at Queen about his cursed blood and yelling at her to leave.
Queen stopped him by grabbing his cheeks and giving him a small smile.
'For a guy so smart you sure are dumb huh?'
Queen had to give him a big talk.
'Who gives a crap about who your dad is Ace?'
'You are the things you love, your family, your crew, your friends, the sea, your freedom. The only reason why your dad has such a hold on you is because you let him'
Ace cried for hours while Queen held him.
It broke her to see such a trivial thing in her eyes hold him down like this.
Ace felt better but even after that he had been carrying that burden for so long that it was not gonna dissipate just that easily.
But it made thing easier in their relationship.
'You do look a bit like him tho, I'm guessing you got your pretty looks because of your mom'

i saw someone else mention it but how do you think the ralbert youtuber au would go if they only met online so like race doesnt know waht ao looks like?
OH MY GOD yes ok i’ve talked about this before but Many Thoughts, Head Full™️ about this and that time someone brought it up made me half regret how i originally wrote it cause ITS SO FUCKING GOOD
ok so imagine if you will -
the sort of,,,,, key among us crew??? from before, but minus al. at this point al has been streaming on twitch for a hot minute and posts youtube vids sometimes but he’s faceless and sort of underground compared to the rest of them
then he plays in a different lobby with spot and elmer right when the game started blowing up, and the rest is history
spot reaches out on discord and offers to have him in their main lobby for a few rounds on stream and they go from there
for the record when he first joins it’s literally a copy paste of jason’s reaction corpse the first time they meet but it’s race’s reaction to “red” (find here) i’m not kidding the thirst is REAL besties
and like obviously it goes well cause red keeps playing with the massive group
but in the shuffle race gets red’s discord and follows him on instagram and twitter and stuff
and race being race is like ‘i’m gonna befriend him cause he seems GREAT’ meanwhile albert’s brain is just short circuiting cause there’s a pretty boy ACTUALLY TRYING TO TALK TO HIM !!!
and after a couple months they’re streaming after they get proximity chat working and red is ACTUALLY crew mate for once and they’ve finished their tasks and are just chatting
and albert just says something about piercings or his hair or his tattoos or something and race is like “bro you know i have no clue what you look like right?”
albert’s just like “????? i haven’t sent you a picture or something ???? lol one sec” and he just messages one of the only pictures he has of himself to race on insta so he can open it without showing his stream
and obviously albert can’t see this at the time but race literally goes “😳🤭🥴” on stream to several thousand people. like you can literally see the moment it hit race’s brain that albert was hot.
long story very short cause this post is going to be ridiculously long any what they keep talking and vid chatting behind the scenes and streaming together (and flirting so much all the fans can’t tell if they’re already dating or not honestly)
and eventually they get a chance to meet up in person (and it may or may not be a date that they haven’t told anyone is a date)
they film some stuff together but overall they’re pretty lowkey about the fact they’re kind of a thing,,,,,, like romantically. cause they don’t want the internet to run with it and make it something it’s not before they’ve figured out how much they actually like eachother
the answer is a hell of a lot. like just- so much. they’re not MaGiCaLlY iN lOvE or anything but they just sort of click and can tell that t h i s is the type of person they would WANT to spend their life with
which is why they publicly announce their relationship 10 months later. mostly cause they’re moving in together and don’t really have a platonic explanation for buying a 2 bedroom apartment that has one guest bedroom.
and obviously by this point there’s been plenty of theories and guesses (that were honestly quite accurate and weren’t horribly disrespectful like the nightmare that was the 2014 gaming community cause both parties were publicly out as gay, in race’s case, and bi, in red’s) but having it confirmed was a big ‘holy shit’ moment for the fandom
and the squad is some of their best friends so they’ve known for months and they’re all just like “lol yeah all that’s changed for us is we can make fun of them for being grossly adorable on stream now and tease them on twitter instead of in the groupchat”
albert does his face reveal in similar fashion to the original like,,,,, 3 months after that?? and then from there it pretty much just follows that natural flow of canon au
oh except they get engaged a bit later lol. closer to 27/28 then 23/24 (i cant remember what age i had down in that post)
ahhhhh this was really fun !!!! i love this concept sm and have been thinking about the differences since the original ask came through over a month ago
thank you for being patient with me anon !!! this has been sitting half done in my drafts for far too long so i’m finally posting it

Nightingale- how does your muse show love, platonic or romantic? What is their love language?
Answered this here for Ric so I’ll provide an answer with an alt! 
From asks ♠ here ♠
POV: The Outlaw - Roman L. Wyld
Tumblr media
“Love is flexible, so I try t’be too, I guess. Nature’ve th’relationship dictates what kinda love I give, I reckon.” 
Out of Ammo (OOC): 
Platonic Relationships: ‘Lawrence’ is quick to make friends and enjoys being friendly with people in general despite the fact that he keeps to himself. That’s more a case of ‘Some cowboys have too much tumbleweed in their blood to settle down’. He’s not someone that likes to stick in one place too long. He’s kind of always on the move, and so the people he’ll break him out of that pattern for end up being few and far.  If a friend needs help, he’s there. He’s always willing to offer distractions! Especially if he knows it’s needed. Whiskey and some gambling? Pantsing some Brass Blades? He’ll do crimes with his friends and is always up for something shady. He enjoys conversing with his friends, and taking to cool places he thinks they might like. If he’s really trying to befriend someone, they might notice that he takes interest in what they do. Asks a lot of questions, sticks around longer, or invites them along to some kind of adventure he’s on. He’ll find excuses to pop up on occasion too. While he’s very handy on his own, if his friends have some kind of skill he can support then he’ll bug them. Maybe some saddle repair that’s not all that pertinent, or a refill of potions even if he’s only used like one from the set. Small things like that. 
Note: Because I don’t want this to get long, romantic is below the cut. Also I got a saucy gif on it. 
Tumblr media
Romantic Relationships: In my head, he loves deeply. The thing is that up until recently he hasn’t had anyone to fall in that kind of love with. He’s had I think two in-character relationships but he’s never actually said the words ‘I love you’. There’s been people he’s deeply fond of, and people he thought might have loved but as of right now he’s discovering what being ‘In-Love’ actually is. So, he’s going all in. He’s willing to risk it all just to see where things go. At the current, he’s got a partner he likes being close to, and likes having around. They thrill each other, and he’s excited about their future as they’ve pretty much been adventure bound since meeting. She’s welcome in his space, and he’s started to make small changes to accommodate what she likes within it. Things that make her feel comfortable and welcome.  That’s a new experience, as personal space is very important to him! Which basically means he values this person as much as his own comfort. He can be a little handsy. He’s the type to hug from behind, kiss the neck and rest his head on the shoulder. He gazes longingly, draws beautiful sketches of people he’s fond of. He showers them in compliments that border poetry. He pays attention. He gives up his hat. He’s very affectionate, and pines real fucking hard. Admitting he’s ‘in love’ isn’t necessarily a problem, but he hates rejection and has had occasions where he was shot down pretty hard. Not necessarily with people he’s loved, but definitely people he was crushing on. Also, you can tell pretty hard when he’s crushing. He’ll do a lot of the above, to a lesser but noticeable degree. Minus the hat, and the home. He’s only shown two people his place ICly, and only one of them he’s asked to stay. The other he just wanted them to know they were welcome. It’s a big sign of trust and respect, overall. 
Thank you, thank you! @thefreelanceangel

Boys reaction to MC who never have date before meeting them. Like, the boys as MC's first love.
My first HC on here and I was memeing half the time while writing it. Included what the boys would do after hearing this news as well because why not. I’m not a Lucien fan but lord have mercy on my soul, I couldn’t help making his romantic af. He is the ideal boyfriend/date minus the l i e s that come in the MS and I hate it. All the crossed out stuff is just commentary because I couldn’t help myself. Hope you enjoy~ Thank you for your ask <3
How the MLQC boys react to being MC’s first love below the cut~
Victor:
Follows with some snarky comment after he calls her “Dummy”.
Let’s be real here, if he doesn’t call her dummy immediately, then something is wrong. Reminds me of when we streamed the first episode of MLQC and we were all yelling “CALL US BAKA” the second Victor came on screen.
While he seems cool and collected on the outside, you can hear the computer shutdown sound play on the inside.
To him, this is a shocking confession.
Victor: I’m not surprised a dummy like you hasn’t been in a serious relationship before.
Victor, internally: How has she never been in a serious relationship before??
He’s not very good at expressing himself honestly through his words but he truly admires MCs hardworking nature.
He finds that very attractive in a woman and is surprised that other men in the line of business haven’t taken their shot with her yet. it’s because they can feel your death stare on the back of their heads, kind sir
One thing he struggles with is being himself. He tries to act like everything is in his control all the time.
Because of this, upon hearing MCs confession, he invites her to a fancy dinner at his penthouse insert Victor’s Dazzling Date because THATS ALL THAT MATTERS. Jkjk haha... unless...
He wants to impress her as much as possible even though he knows deep down that she doesn’t care about what a person has and rather how they are as a person
BUT ALAS. The stress be real for her first boyfriend.
He wants her to know she made a good decision without verbally telling her out of his own bitch mouth I love you, please call me baka so he goes over the top with their first date.
Basically pulls a Mr. Krabs when taking Mrs. Puff on a date. Just add shades to Mr. Krabs to represent Victor’s “I’m calm. I’m chill. I’m all good. We vibin out here.”
Tumblr media
All MC wants from him is his honest and genuine thoughts. and a lifetime stock of pudding because good god a girl has chocolate needs
MC eventually figures out Victor’s intentions with all the gifts he rains on her because hE dOesNt nEeD tHeM he can’t give her anything more than a cup of pudding up front
MC knows this and accepts the secret gifts with a smile.
She sends a gift in return to his office the following day along with a thank you for the wonderful date.
Can you hear that? It’s the sound of Victor’s heart rate slowing to the average persons.
Kiro:
insert pikachu meme
This boy is mind blown.
“How have you never been in a relationship before??? That can’t be true!”
Kiro sees the good in everyone, so hearing that MC has never been in a relationship before him is
Tumblr media
He gives her a bright smile and playfully hugs her from behind.
The two of them laugh together as he whispers genuinely in her ear,
“I promise to make you happy. You won’t regret it.”
He immediately drags her off to Loveland’s Amusement Park, where they spend the whole day together.
Rides, snacks, games, you name it, they did it all.
Kiro naturally spoils MC without putting much thought to it.
It’s like a reflex for him. It’s just who he is as a person. Always wants to share the happiness in the world with the people he cares about.
As for how anxious he is after hearing the news about being MC’s first love, he is screaming at a pitch only dogs can hear.
Almost 100% of the time he has a smile on his face and even convinces himself that he’s not worried about it.
But he is.
It only hits him when he thinks about another man taking MC away from him after seeing her talking with another guy.
MC will catch him without his carefree smile at times and eventually confronts him about it.
He shows her a wide smile and says there’s nothing to worry about.
L I E S. BABIE LEMME HOLD YOU I PROMISE YOU DONT NEED TO WORRY.
After a few attempts of trying to get Kiro to open up about it, he gives in and says he’s worried he’s not good enough for her HAHAHHA, GOOD ONE KIRO
MC, however, turns it around on him
MC: I’m afraid IM the one who isn’t good enough for you.
They both smile and embrace each other, knowing they’ll get through any little concerns like this.
Gavin:
He knows.
We’re talking about the boy who has been in love with MC since high school; Who has protected her behind the scenes ever since he laid eyes on her.
He would know if she had been in a previous or current relationship.
It only comes as a shock when she says she’s never been interested in anyone else romantically before. Lies. Have you seen the other suitors, MC. In a world where guys are that hot, you must’ve had at least 1 crush, c’mon sis.
Gavin respected her personal boundaries and never looked into her personal affairs so he had very little knowledge of her views on other guys.
He gets a little bit nervous, since he believes her standards must be high if she hasn’t been interested in anyone else before.
Does the full on soldier oath, bend the knee cliche which includes “I promise to always protect you” and “Nobody will ever be good enough for you”
Mc: Gavin no...
Gavin: NOBODY WILL EVER BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.
Spoiler alert: You are waayyyyy too good for me, Gavin.
He doesn’t have too much anxiety over the thought of being MC’s first love though since he’s very good at staying true to himself and knows MC is one to admire that about others.
Gavin is a quiet guy in general. He’s more of an observer and watches MC to take note of what she enjoys.
When he sees her eyes shine bright after seeing a delicious dessert cafe, he offers to take her. He makes sure to express how he also wants to go since he knows she won’t accept unless he is interested as well.
Boy literally has no interests the moment he’s with MC. He is essentially that vine
Tumblr media
Doesn’t even wait until the question is over and just “Absolutely. Let’s do it”
MC: But I haven’t even said anything yet...
He isn’t much different from how he is now. Has around the same amount of anxiety just from being in MCs presence.
Boy just wants to PROTECC and is always panicking on the inside but tries to remain calm.
He is very good at calming his anxiety though since he’s had so long to understand what MC values and knows she just loves people for themselves.
That’s all he needs.
Lucien:
His eyes widen slightly at MCs confession.
It’s nothing too mind blowing for him since he knows how refined MC is and how dedicated she is to her work.
It’s still surprising to him that nobody has tried to sweep her off her feet yet.
With how kind MC is, it would be hard for her to refuse a date with a gentleman.
Lucien gently presses a kiss to MCs hand upon hearing her confession.
Lucien: I am honored to be given the opportunity TO WOO to take such a beautiful lady out on a date~ AND MORE PLEASE
Lucien is the definition of a gentleman shhhh we aren’t speaking of current chapters in the main route Lucien. Cover your eyes. Pretend you do not see.
With little to no anxiety showing on his face after the reveal that he is MCs first love, he insists on taking her out to a nice restaurant the most classy and romantic 5 star restaurant Loveland City has to offer as a way to thank her for dealing with his bs (both his bullshit and black swan hahaha I’m so funny oml) being given the opportunity to treat her as a beautiful young lady should be treated.
He’s also more on the less anxious side of being MCs first love.
Lucien is a traditional man and does stuff by the book.
Because of this, he respects and likes the idea of being MCs first love.
He doesn’t go over the top yet isn’t cliche with dates and little actions.
He knows exactly what to say and when to say it. Though he may struggle with being openly honest about his own thoughts and feelings, he tries his best to express himself for MC. a lot of the time he just assumes talking to her about his personal affairs would bring her down.
This, however, gets better overtime as they continue to date.
They spend a lovely evening at dinner together and take a midnight stroll through the city oh god city stroll PTSD
He gently wraps his jacket around her bare shoulders with a soft smile as he thanks her once again for believing in him believing he is worthy of her
Bonus:
Shaw:
Shaw, smirking: Is that so?
Oohhhhh you know what that smirk does to me. DOWN BOY D O W N.
He’s surprised but his reaction is very mutual.
His internal thoughts are more on the line of “Hmm I’m her first boyfriend, aye?” and “OYA OYA”
He very likely most definitely places his hand on the wall beside her head and leans in closely to get a reaction from her as he growls,
Shaw: So that means you really like me, yeah? I’m making this way too hot gdi. Shaw stans please enjoy your food
MC looks up to see that same playful smirk resting on his face.
highkey don’t know how to respond because Im just “ok think of 3 things she would probably say and go from there” while my brain just computer error sound
MC: and what about yourself? I’m sure there are tons of girls throwing themselves at you yet you choose me.
He pulls away and places his hands in his pockets with a chuckle.
Shaw: I’ve had my fair share before.
iVe HaD mY fAiR sHarE bEfoRe MY ASS
I’m convinced he’s had one time things with girls purely for information or he isn’t the least bit interested in relationships because he thrives on stimulation and entertainment and nOboDy iS gOoD eNouGh plus he literally asks what people do on dates when taking mc out in his first date in game SO
Either way, this is a LIE. The man can’t relationship for the life of him so he has no RIGHTS to tease her.
Just let him believe or you can try to tease him about it in hopes of getting a little pouty face out of him.
Honestly, their first date would just be the first date we got in the game and nobody can convince me otherwise.
Shaw is a wild child and doesn’t care for romantic dates. at least that’s what he wants you to think
A little insight on his character: He’s very blunt and easily pushes people away all the while keeping them close enough to gather intel. He doesn’t get emotionally attached to anyone and makes sure it’s mutual on both ends. Personal relationships only drag him down, especially in his line of work. He prioritizes other things before relationships which makes him so damn FRUSTRATING BUT I SWEAR I WILL CRACK YOU OPEN LIKE A WALNUT JUST YOU WATCH ME.
With that being said, after actually being in a relationship with MC for a while and opening up about their personal lives more, Shaw can be very romantic. He may be awkward for a bit at first since he literally doesn’t know what a date is but he gets there eventually.
He’s still full of fun but is also very gentle and makes sure MC is enjoying herself.
I got sidetracked with the actual HC on this one but Shaw stans need food I NEED FOOD

Part 3 -  Stopping In An Alley To Tell Her You Love Her
It felt like a distant memory now that months had travelled between you. The first semester came and went, and you both rejoiced passing your exam period with relatively decent scores. Especially considering the hairy beginning to the paper Eunwoo took with you.
“I’m impressed you stared more at your exam paper than at me,” you teased when you finished checking your scores online in your dorm room.
Rolling his eyes, Eunwoo playfully tapped you on the nose. “Some things are more important to focus on.”
“Like your girlfriend?” you prompted and Eunwoo couldn’t stop his lips from spreading into a smile.
“I finished seventeen minutes before you.”
“You watched me all that time?!” you guessed and Eunwoo shrugged before pulling you up from your seat. “What are we doing?”
“We have two whole weeks before our next semester starts. What do you think we’re doing?”
“I swear if you say going to the library or-”
Eunwoo cut you off with a chaste kiss before sending you a dazzling smile. “Pack your bags.”
“What? Why?”
“I’m going home for the holidays. Don’t you want to come with me?”
“And meet your parents?!” you squeaked out, heading over to your wardrobe anyway. Eunwoo slumped down onto your bed and watched as you turned frazzled. You shot him a helpless expression. “I don’t know if I can come.”
“Why not? Who am I meant to stare at whilst I’m away then?”
“Don’t!” you whined outlandishly and stomped your foot. “This is serious! You can’t just spring it on me that we’re going to meet your parents, Eunwoo!”
“Why not? You didn’t tell me I was meeting your mother until you introduced her as that when I joined you for brunch last month.”
“That wasn’t exactly planned, you know.”
“Nor is this. I just don’t want to say goodbye to you now so come with me instead,” he pleaded and you sighed heavily, sweeping your hair up into a messy ponytail before stepping over to him and leaned in for another kiss. Eunwoo gave you three extras for encouragement and you finally nodded.
“Okay, let’s do this.”
He grinned, getting up to help you with the packing. Admittedly he was meant to be going home by himself. However, the idea of leaving you made his chest ache more than logic could reason. Over the months, Eunwoo found himself giving in to the irrational side more often. It was tiring to try and understand how you made him feel as your relationship progressed. In some ways, he knew he was falling in love. But Eunwoo couldn’t figure where the falling had started.
He sometimes mused over the novel idea that it had happened when he first met you.
Still, it was easier not to question himself anymore and just enjoy experiencing each moment.
Which was what he had done for the entire trip home.
Of course, his parents had gushed over your impromptu appearance. Although they knew he had been dating someone this semester, Eunwoo hadn’t gone into great depths over the phone just how serious he felt about you. Again, because he didn’t know what to describe it as.
Now that you were in his childhood house and surrounded by his family, however, Eunwoo realised this was a first for him. He’d never brought someone special home for the holidays, or for any real occasion.
Something his mother hadn’t let him forget about ever since your arrival. “You know, Y/N, this is the best gift my son has ever given me. I’m so happy you’re here with us these holidays.”
“Oh, it’s my pleasure,” you mentioned with a glance in Eunwoo’s direction. “Thank you for welcoming me into your home at such short notice.”
“Nonsense! You are welcome here any time!”
“We’ll go get the ingredients from the store you asked me to get earlier,” he told his mother before dragging you to the front door.
“Why did you bring me with you?”
Eunwoo cleared his throat awkwardly. “I realised it might not be a good idea to leave you two alone together.”
“Why?”
“I found her searching for the photo albums,” he mentioned with a scowl as you both walked down the tiny street-way towards the main shopping area.
You giggled as you watched your footing on the light dusting of snow covering the footpath. You then shot him a wicked grin. “I’ll have to ask to see them before I leave!”
“I knew my honesty would be a curse some time in my life,” he grumbled as you giggled further.
Eunwoo stopped walking then, staring at your animated expression. Your breath was visible in the colder temperature, and your face barely peeked out between a scarf and beanie. Your cheeks were flushed from the sting of the wintry air and your amusement.
He couldn’t get enough of this look.
However, you grew intrigued, waving a hand in front of his face. “Earth to Eunwoo, what are you thinking about right now?”
“Do we need to get spring onions?” he asked jarringly, blinking out of his thoughts and walking off again.
“Are you okay?” you asked, catching up and slipping your gloved hand into his. “You’re being weird.”
“Shouldn’t you be used to that now? I’m constantly weird when it comes to you.”
“Romantic,” you reminded and nuzzled into his side further.
“We better get these groceries before another snow flurry hits,” he excused, hurrying down the path to the market.
His unease continued for the rest of the trip. Maybe it was the nostalgia of the area and having you fit so easily into the places he had frequented as a child. That was all he could think of as you managed to purchase all that his mother had written down on the list to fetch.
Actually, that was a lie.
A growing need to speak his mind was washing over him. It was bubbling right under the surface as you walked back to his family home with a bag of groceries in both hands each. Every small glance you gave him accompanied with a delighted smile brought the emotion further to the forefront until he was certain he would never be this sure about anything ever again.
“I love you,” he blurted out when you walked down the alleyway towards his street again, and you stumbled to a stop, losing some of your balance given the snow on the ground. Eunwoo lurched towards you to save you from falling, both of you ending up pressed against a brick wall.
Soul searching once he caught your stunned stare, Eunwoo smiled softly. “I love you, Y/N.”
“So suddenly?” you breathed, blinking slowly.
Eunwoo chuckled. “No, I think it’s been for some time.”
“Why would you throw this on me when my hands are full?” you wondered distractedly, glancing at the bags you held. Eunwoo reached out for them, taking them with his own.
And then he leaned in closer. “I love you.”
“Goodness I heard you the first time,” you mentioned, still struggling with coherency. “You need to give me a chance to restart my heart after such a confession!”
Instead, he leaned in and brushed his lips over yours, catching the tail end of your surprise over the confession. Your answer was delivered through the earnest kiss you gave him.
When he finally lifted his head away from yours to suck in a deep breath, you cupped his jaw in both of your hands and smiled tenderly. “I love you too.”
“Tell me again.”
“Why, because you told me multiple times too?” you wondered with a laugh. Shaking your head you pecked his lips first. “I love you, I love you, I love you!”
“Good.”
“Good?” you echoed and Eunwoo nodded.
“My mother was right. This year is the best present I’ve been able to give her. And to myself as well.”
“And you say you’re not romantic at all,” you mumbled before placing your hands upon his chest. “I agree though. I was worried about university back when the first school year began. Meeting you was the best thing that happened to me.”
“Not the A you got for your overall grade?” he offered and you slapped his padded jacket front bitterly.
“That was an A-minus.”
“What am I then?” he wondered and you sighed.
“My A-plus for this semester.”
“And for next semester?”
“I can’t grade you ahead of time,” you admittedly sincerely and Eunwoo leaned in to kiss you again.
“But I love you.”
“Maybe you’re going to get an A-plus next semester too,” you agreed with a laugh, gesturing for him to follow you back to his home.
Eunwoo was glad he could finally label something with certainty when it came to you now.
