Being Angela's sibling and dating El
Tumblr media
mannn im finna whip dis hoe
DONT GET ME STARTEDDDDDD
angela having a soft spot 4 u cus ur her sibling
but shes not kissing up ur ass 24/7
just mildly picking on you
it was all well until you saw a brown short haired girl getting laughed at by your sister and her friends
you didn't say anything knowing how Angela was, but you made a mental note to make sure to look out for that same girl
as time went by she started telling you more and more about the same girl
stories about how she treats her, jokes made in class about her, names being thrown around
you found out her name was Jane and her brother Will both coming from outta state
she was cute you'd give her that
you wanted to talk to her, maybe more
yeah Angela's mischievous actions ticked you off day by day
but during those days you were getting closer to Will meaning also getting closer to Jane too
on the first day you talked to both of them you told them you swore you weren't like your sister
They were on the fence still more so Jane and ofc u don't blame them after the image your sister technically gave you both
But Angela started noticing you staring out for someone during school
or saying you have something for school and spending less and less time with her
not too long after Will, Jonathan, Joyce started noticing when you were brought up she have a reddish pink tint appear on her face with the most adorable blushing smile
it's just so easy to see how much she's into you
and they think it's the most cutest thing ever
the incident at the roller-rink left you stunned but you couldn't say she didn't deserve the hit.....
days pass and you get even more close with Jane, maybe even little flirty remarks, you were in deep babe
After school you heard loud snickering knowing what was happening already, you walked over to Jane helping her up and picking up her dropped belongings and putting them back in her bag
"just give it up already Angela, she's clearly desperate now just spare all of us the time"
it was the first time you ever stood up for Jane
Angela had to make sure she wasn't trippin fr
THE CONFESSIONNNNNNNNN
she scraped her chin with a scratch on her cheek so thinking it was good idea you told her to sit still as you go find any type of first aid in the Hopper-Byers house
As you began treating her she asked you in a low soft voice why you did what you did back at school
you couldn't say anything, like your words were stuck in your mouth
not cus of how scared you were to admit how you felt, but the closeness of face to face ratio
"y/n" you hesitantly moved your eyes up to hers
And in a quick movement she placed her lips right on yours mking you burn up, you dropped the cotton ball and place you hand in hers until you realized what was happening and you pulled away
"I don't care" she said after the sudden quick step back "Honestly I don't care when it comes to being with you, ever since we met it's just been you on my mind"
from there on you knew he rest would be history
NOW LETS TLAK ABOUT DATING
the Byers family loving to have you over anytime even on school nights
photos! photos! photos!!!
she feels the most purest love with you
#mikewieneraintshit
Angela treating her a little nicer day after day when she's over at your house
meaning she'll stop bothering her at school
your gf has the most thanks to give to you from finally getting Angela off her back to winning the most fantastic, affectionate, loving, kind, charming, cool, stunning, humbled, sexy, hilarious girlfriend of all time
you make her feel all mushy whenever you guys kiss
wishing hopper and everyone in Hawkins would meet you
teaching her how to cook and bake
y/n shrine in her room
stick drawings of you both with everyday accessories and hearts around with blushing cheeks is a must 24/7
thinking about a future with you
if eleven gets something from the store she's getting one for y/n you best believe that mate

i love ur work so much and it’s my first time ever making a request so please feel free to disregard this if you don’t want to write!! but sirius or remus (whoever ur in the mood to write) helping his trans girlfriend with her hormone shot bc she’s scared of needles !! sincerely a trans girl who’s in LOVE with ur writing
shots
summary sirius helps you with your hormone shot.
content sirius black x trans!fem!reader
note I dont have any experience with hormone shots but I did some research and tried my best!! if anything is wrong in this, please let me know!! also i wanted to include trans reg because i love him.
You step out of the bathroom a little defeated. Sirius sits at the end of your bed like he’d been expecting it.
“I can’t do it,” you pout, holding the needle in your hand. You point it to the floor to keep it away from him.
Sirius tuts, and stands from your bed to cross the room. “That’s all right,” he says understandingly and all things too soft. It’s hard to feel like you’ve disappointed him when he’s looking at you like that. When he’s holding his hand out to help you.
“It’s just,” you sigh, deflating a tad. “I know it’s gonna feel funny if I do it. I can’t make myself push it through.”
“Hey, it’s okay,” he takes your shoulder and gives it a squeeze. It feels nice. His hand a heat against your skin that relaxes you. “It’s not a fun thing to do. It stings, yeah?”
You nod and he smiles.
“Can I do it for you?” He’d already asked before you’d locked yourself in his bathroom. Usually, you’d get your friend to do it, but they’re away. You thought you’d seen them do it enough times to do it yourself. You were wrong.
“You don’t have to," you say quietly.
Sirius huffs. "Yeah, c'mon," he takes you by the hand and leads you back into his ensuite, sitting down on the closed lid of your toilet until it bends under his weight, "I've done it before."
You don't mind being manhandled like this. He takes you by the hips, hand tucked under your skirt where it's still rumpled up around your waist from where you'd held it, and positions you between his open legs.
"You have?" you ask, holding onto the bench. You pass him the needle carefully when he wordlessly asks for it. You trust him.
He holds the needle with a practice you almost envy. "Yeah, I did it a few times for Reg when he was just starting out. He used to be scared as well."
You look down at him a little dazed, a lot in love. Sick with it, really. "Yeah?"
Sirius smooths his thumb over the skin of your hip and squeezes the fat between his soft fingers. It feels nicer when he does it - a lot less cruel. "Can you turn a bit - yeah like that, thanks, baby." You turn for him and face your hip outwards. "Yeah. But he's an expert at it now, so don't worry about it. You'll get there."
"Oh."
Sirius makes sure he's all set before he looks up at you, pretty teeth peeking out from his pink lips, smiling. "Ready?"
"Yeah." You've had plenty of shots by now. This one feels a lot different.
“You trust me?” he asks sternly.
“Yeah.” With everything you don’t say.
Sirius looks back down at your hip and pierces the needle through your skin. He frowns when you hiss. The stinging pain never improves, you never get used to it. But you feel much better when Sirius mutters an "It's okay." under his breath.
He turns and slots the needle through the yellow sharps box on your sink and faces you again. "All done." He rubs his thumb over your hip and leans in to kiss you there. Much more gentle than he needs to be.
He fixes your skirt up and you feel really funny. Like you want to kiss him and hug him and squeeze him until he can't breathe. You feel like you have a lot of love to show him and not enough time in the world.
You get yourself in his lap before he can do anything about it and hope the lid of the toilet can take all of the weight. He fixes his arms around your sides to keep you there. You kiss his cheek and then his nose, the space of skin next to his eye. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it," he says and kisses your shoulder.
You think you will mention it. You'll never forget it, if you're honest about it.

The selfship that almost was: my ridiculous experience with Trigger Happy Havoc.
Spoilers for Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, and the bottom part of this post (starting where you see Kaito's picture) has spoilers for DR V3!
You can absolutely laugh at me for this post. Shit gets wild.
I played THH I think 2-3 years ago? It's almost a year since I played SDR2 and I played DR V3 this year.
Some time before my little sister asked me to play THH (and to let her watch me play to see my reactions), I had already spoiled myself to Chihiro's death. I didn't know her killer, but the video I saw (it was so long ago I really dont remember which video this was) mainly talked about her gender in the game. Somehow I ended up picking up the detail that Mondo trained with her, but not that he was the one that killed her?
Anyway, so going into the game I knew I would like Chihiro but tried not to get attached because I also knew she would die, so I tried to see other characters I could like. If I had been less self-conscious (keep in mind my little sister was watching me play), I would have spent more free times with Hifumi. I tried to pick a more "normal" character, or at least more normal to admit to liking?, and apparently I don't know what normal means because I thought this was Toko.
Toko was mean, but I chalked it up to her being terrified of the situation and everything happening to them. How was she supposed to trust anyone in a "killing game"?! Of course she freaks out! Of course she hides in her room! Of course she has trust issues! Okay but none of this excused how mean she was, but maybe that was her defense for being scared? I could also relate to her not exactly being warm to the other girls in the game, and I admit my first impression of Aoi was petty and negative and I didn't trust her (sorry Aoi, this was unwarranted and stupidly biased in hindsight. I didn't like her because I had this impression about her being a "mean popular girl" -because she showed off her boobs I guess???- and the rest of the game threw me off so much I didn't really stop and rethink this assumption. That was a fail on my part. Thankfully I learned not to make the mistake with Akane). It's also funny that I thought Aoi was "too girly," considering that she's one of the only canon Danganronpa girls to wear something that isn't a skirt/dress, and she was in sort of a relationship with Sakura. First impressions aren't everything, as I would realize later come to realize with Toko.
I felt so bad for Toko, and I was annoyed at the time that we were playing Makoto because I wanted to play a girl character who was nicer to her, who was lesbians with her (yes, I had a crush on Toko. HAD. You can probably guess what made that crush dissipate.) I had this idea about writing a fanfic where my s/i would try to protect her "like she's my little sister," except obviously this was a lie because she didn't want to scare her away by admitting to a crush. In hindsight, this fanfic idea would have been hilarious. Assuming I actually could win Toko's affections, I planned on being a bit annoying and clingy (simping) but doing everything to prove I was keeping her safe, she would have been pushing me as far away as possible to avoid me becoming Genocide Jack's next victim, insulting me to get me to leave while I weigh every insult against the consequence of losing the only character I made a big connection with. Also, I know I would never be able to handle a tsundere insulting me the way Toko would, but I was considering working around that by having my character be desperate to latch onto somebody to be safer during the game, though I would still try to take on the role of protecting Toko. Is it wrong that it makes me laugh to imagine writing this and then having Genocide Jack kill me? XD
I had so much trouble picking out items I thought Toko and Chihiro (the two characters I spent free times with) would like, and my sister would get impatient with me if I reset to try to pick a better item to try to activate a cutscene. I only got three cutscenes with Toko, and none with Chihiro. It was pretty frustrating when I wasn't getting anywhere. I think I talked to Yasuhiro a bit too, because my sister asked me why I was spending so much time with Toko and I didn't want her to catch onto my crush (lol).
I figured Toko probably had a secret, but my idea of it was very simple. She was showing such a tsun side, and her backstories revealed how lonely and heartbroken she was, I figured that her secret was probably something sweet and cute to show her dere side. Since she struggled to be nice to people from her trust issues, maybe she was volunteering at an animal shelter, and had a pet she was very close to waiting for her at home. We'd get to see a picture or something. Her in a shelter uniform with the dog or kitty she was fond of. Something sweet like that. That was the image in my head.
And then Chapter 2 hit me like a ton of bricks.
Chihiro's death didn't shock me, though I was surprised it showed up so early. Oh well, at least I still had Toko to spend free times with! I should probably pick another character because again, my sister would get impatient if I just spent all my free times with one character (to be fair, my sister was like 14 at the time and we had limited times to play this game, I can understand.)
It's funny, this chapter had Byakuya acting even more obnoxious, and also introduced him being Toko's crush, so I was like "ah, my rival is a total jackass." Also, he seemed hella gay and not interested at all in Toko, so I wasn't too worried. When he told Makoto not to enter a room in the library and Makoto's just like "okay! :D" I had two thoughts: "Wow, Makoto is a dumbass" (this would become a running gag with me and my sister saying this), and "Byakuya is probably the murderer. Even if it's not this case, probably another one." And when Byakuya became more obnoxious in the trial, I was like "Oh, revealing you as the murderer and seeing your execution is going to be SO satisfying. >:D"
And then... he was one of the survivors!!!
Tumblr media
FREAKING.
Don't get me wrong! I laugh about it now. I'm laughing right now. Well played, Danganronpa. This game trolled me so much. I don't even hate Byakuya anymore, well I kinda do, but he's the character that's fun to hate. I don't seriously hate him anymore. I laugh about how ridiculously mad I got about this. Feelings about feelings are funny like that.
Speaking of which, I was even less prepared for the Toko twist because-
WHAT THE HELLL?!!!
Tumblr media
Poorly written multiple personality disorder, AND she was a murderer, but she wasn't even the murderer for THIS case?!! I guess I can't say the game was predictable or boring, but what the hell was this?!
Also, the scissors thing and that tongue...you cant. You cant. You cant say she's straight and obsessed with men and then give her all this lesbian symbolism, game. What are you doing? From this point on, Danganronpa was confused. Or maybe I was confused, I don't know. I was so very confused. I was still attracted to her, maybe more attracted to Jack now, but what the hell was this?!?! All the directions they could have taken her character and THIS is what they chose to do with her???!!
I like to joke now: Chapter 2 is actually the first double murder in the game. They killed Chihiro in the living sense, and they totally murdered Toko's character in the writing sense, in a way that I almost wish they had really killed her off instead. That would have been kinder to her than...this...
And I thought her big secret she was a volunteer at a damn animal shelter. Help me. 😭
It really did frustrate me, because even though she was very cruel I could relate to how cold and distant she was to everybody when she was scared, her trust issues, her clearly wanting someone to protect her and care about her but also being too terrified to trust someone enough to give them the chance to do that. I think you can see where I attached to Kazuichi for...the same exact reason, damn.
But honestly, Genocide Jack wasn't even the worst part of her writing from this point (shocking, right??!!)
No, the worst part of it was that the rest of the game, Toko would only appear every once in a while to simp over Byakuya. Literally nothing else (as far as I remember). And then she would disappear and in her place would be Jack.
Which, ngl, Jack was sexy and hilarious. I know I got like, one free time event with her. But still, she wasn't Toko! :(
It frustrated me to see this character get turned into an ableist joke. Any idea of a subversion, that maybe they were telling the player that they could consider Toko's perspective, that she had a sweeter side behind her scared, bitter self, that maybe the loser girl shouldn't be rejected by everyone... NAH! She's actually mentally ill and a freak! Let's just make fun of her mental illness and separate from liking her as much as possible! That's what it felt like playing the game after this, at least when I think about Toko.
My real favorite in this game, among the survivors, was Yasuhiro. I was convinced he would be the last victim, and I was so happy he wasn't. Bless him.
Tumblr media
I was happy to finish THH, I needed closure for the story even though it was frustrating to see characters I started to like dying almost immeadiately and having barely anybody I cared about still around. "So in the end" (to quote Sakura) I had mixed feelings about Toko, Byakuya, and Aoi being survivors (in hindsight I was judgemental and wrong about Aoi and my feelings toward her have become more positive since then!), but I was glad to see Makoto, Kyoko, and Yasuhiro as survivors. My sister wanted me to play SDR2, and I told her I needed some time to pass before I decided to take on this game. Before I agreed to it, she had to reassure me that it was so much better than THH.
I was so worried about Kazuichi going the same route as Toko, but I took a chance at trusting her, and throughout the game she constantly showed how helpful she was and how kind she wanted to be. It wasn't as much development as I would have wanted, but it was better than what happened with Toko. There was no character assassination like Toko.
I find it so funny that I fell for the "simp" characters, and for these two games it was before I found out they were the simp characters. For Toko, it was because she was "the weird girl." For Kazuichi, it started off being because of her appearance, and continued as we learned that she was smart (a mechanic!) and helpful (she gave a thumbs up!). Yes, that is actually what made me first fall for her. You can laugh. As soon as she gave a thumbs up I knew I could trust her. Yes, I am aware that that reason is absolutely bonkers, I dont care. I'm so happy I was right this time.
Tumblr media
^^^Look at this kind, helpful soul! I love you!!!
Tumblr media
^^Check out the family resemblance. This is her cousin, my cousin-in-law Kaito. Kazuichi and Kaito being cousins is my headcanon. I headcanon Kaito as the older cousin, even though that probably makes no sense timeline wise. Heck, none of DR V3 makes sense timeline wise, so I do whatever!
Also, the pattern continues, as I admit I have a crush on Tenko as well. It's not as big as my crush on Kazuichi, it sort of comes and goes for the time being, and if I ever selfship with her I want to get a better sense of her character before I write her into the relationship (I'd like her to be with me and Kaz, also I'm not sure if Chihiro being part of the ship is still in my canon or not), but I wanted to mention it at some point and it's relevant to this post. Tenko had great potential, and she got some development she deserved, though the death she absolutely did not.
I guess the moral of this story is that you can trust again. Sometimes that trust will be broken, but sometimes it will help you find love. You have to take that chance.
All the places I could have learned this moral and it was the Danganronpa series. Wild.

woah hi ok UMMMMMMFHSKXNXKSB (this is my first request so excuse how bad i’ll be at explaining this to you)
ive always had this idea about someone a person is dating ending up being a yandere, like they really wanna protect you to the point they kidnap you and treat you like a goddess like that and just hurts everyone that interferes? or if they see someone that’s getting closer than they’d like or they’re jealous they’d just break their leg and go “oh! they fell down the stairs yesterday :(.. i helped them, it was so sad!”
also what if they’re like kinda scary but try to be nicer around you because to them you’re like an absolute angel or goddess
I MEAN YOU SAID YOU WANT A REASON TO WRITE SO I GAVE YA ONE
also idk if u do the anon thing where they have a name i completely forgot but if u do i really like oranges so 🤭🤭 maybe i could be orange anon… OKAY THATS JUST ME BEING AN IDIOT LMFAO
Loved orange anon xDD --- 🍊🍊🍊
I'm going to write more, i just am a bit burnt at the moment
Ok but in all seriousness im willing to regress into my feral writer form to satiate your needs ♡♡♡ (P.s. Lyo is read like Leo)
cw: Yandere behavior, manipulation, physical assult (Not towards reader), threats, idolization, stalking
'No relationship is perfect- no one is perfect.' you keep repeating to yourself.
What kills you is, for the most part, he is perfect. You've truly never felt this amount of love, tenderness or care in your entire life. So what if his eyes widen just at the sight of you enter a room- like he was meeting a deity of some kind. Isn't it wrong to ask less of him? Of a man so utterly devoted to you?
"What are you thinking about, angel?" Lyo's concerned eyes stare daggers into yours, waiting patiently for your reply.
"What am I-? Oh... nothing." After you speak there's nothing but silence for a minute or two
"It's just that-... Well... I know something is wrong so- can you just tell me so I can fix it?" He leans in as you quickly pull away, last time you let him 'fix' an issue between you and someone else your friend of two years sustained some pretty nasty bruises, bruises way too specifically placed to have been caused by a tumble in the dirt.
You let it slide then- 'just once' you thought. Since your so called friend had turned into a real jackass after having a few too many, and refused to take no for an answer. You didn't even bother to start a fight even when you knew Lyo was lying to your face about just walking him home, the quick glimpse of fresh scratches on his knuckles where all the proof you needed at the time.
But then there was that 'accident' on the staircase, the scared glances that surround him, the constant hovering, and the multiple monologs about how deeply he loves you, how he will always protect you; how you were like a divine being, taking pity on the likes of him-.
'He doesn't mean to- he doesn't know he's wearing me down... He doesn't mean to.'
"Please- just let me handle it myself. I'll be alright." you give him a reassuring glance before an abrupt
SLAM
As his hand meets the table. Instantly, you look at him with a mixture of shock, confusion and fear.
"I'm sorry! I'm so-so sorry! I didn't mean to! I just-!" Lyo's posture shrinks- like he's trying to make himself look as non-threatening as possible after seeing the look on your face.
You'd never seen him like that before. He was always incredibly calm with you-
"-please dont be mad at me, angel!" He reaches to cup your face in his hands "I just want to protect you... that's all...... GODDAMN IT! This is all his fault! YOU KNOW THAT?!"
Your mouth is still agape as you watch him unravel. 'Did he want to hit me?' 'Was he going to hit me?' were the only thoughts going through your head as you watched him pace.
Finally after a minute you blurt out
"I can't do this anymore. For a second there- I genuinely thought you might hurt me. I can't do this, I'm sorry, I need to leave."
He freezes.
"Don't." Lyo's voice came out as half threatening, half pleading. Like he was dreading what he would have to do next.
"I need you. Please- I just want to protect you! You know I would never hurt you! Ever! I just got a little frustrated! That's all! Don't be stupid, you know I'd never ever hurt you! I'D NEVER HURT YOU!?! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT?! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I-"
"Stop!", "I made my decision."
"So what? Mine doesn't matter then? What am i supposed to do without you? I have nothing without you. You aren't just the greatest thing in my life- you- you are my life!" Desperation clang to every word Lyo spoke, making your heart ache.
He could tell you were caving, as pools began to cloud your eyes you croak out a pitiful "ok..." before feeling his warm embrace.
Lyo gently pets your head, holding you tightly for a good few minutes while you cry. Knowing that just like a moth drawn to flame, He has you exactly where he wants you, no- needs you.

i honestly dont even know where to start with this ass backwards involuntary hospitalization shit btw.
who is going to pay for all these extended inpatient stays? it cost me thousands for the ambulance alone to get to the hospital, let alone all the logstical stuff. i'm assuming they'll find some way to heap more financial burden upon people already in poverty bc i know people r not gonna foot the bill in taxes
let's play pretend with their claim that this is to get """""dangerous""""" """"criminals"""" off the street, okay. so your solution is to lock them in a ward -- a place where, in my experience, there were no doors or locks, even in the bathroom, and people could walk in and out at will with only halfheartedly attentive nurses to protect you -- with ostensibly NOT criminal psych patients, including sex abuse victims, domestic abuse victims, scared suicidal people etc. bc on the surface level a psych ward sounds nicer than a prison. sounds great!
how exactly are these people going to be treated? when i was on the ward i saw a doctor for about five minutes every day and spent the rest of it walking in circles, waiting for calls on the payphone, eating hospital food, staring at the wall and trying to make idle conversation with the other patients. i dont think ive ever experienced anything less stimulating in my life. it's basically nicer prison.
all this to say this idea was cooked up to appease people who think imprisoning unhoused and/or mentally ill people is too cruel but dont know that our modern psychiatric care system is so jacked that this is basically what that is anyway. rich pundits are cheering and clapping bc they live in a bubble and hate the poor and sick and dont want to look at them. i hate this shit so fucking much.

Hello, I'm sorry to bother you, but I kinda had an idea for a potential mod but as someone who has never modded before (quite frankly it seems a bit too complicated for my tiny brain to keep up with), I don't really know if it's possible. So I figured why not ask a modder, and you're one of the nicer ones so i feel less scared to ask. But do you think it's possible to convert the eye feature for pets (the heterochromia one) could be converted or made for regular sims? Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I really wanted to know. Thanks again 😅
first and most importantly, you are not a bother at all. second, it is not a stupid question.
third, i need to look up what heterochromia is... okay two different eye colors which is super cool. i actually dont know if this is possible, i am not super knowledgable in cas. i will have to take a look and get back to you on this!

hello!! could i kindly request for a student campus crush! wonwoo hehe and you’re best friends and have unrequited feelings but u dont know if he feels the same so over a sleepover u tried confessing and you can continue from there hehe -🐼
let me hear you say | j. ww
✎ pairing: best friend!wonwoo x female reader
✎ genre: collegel!au, friends to lovers!au, mostly fluff
✎ warnings: none!
✎ wc: 2.40 k words
✎ notes: hi 🐼 anon! i got a little carried away with this one because soft, cuddly wonwoo makes my stomach do flips but i hope you like it! i'm not sure how i feel about my portrayal of yn here because i wanted them to be really supportive of wonwoo but kind of having a hard time because of their feelings towards him. i hope i was able to express that without portraying them as kind of eh :/
Tumblr media
“Don’t you ever get tired?” You take a quick glance at your best friend as he folds up another piece of paper with a phone number written on it.
“Of what?”
“Of everyone in this school falling head over heels for you,” You say like it’s the most obvious thing in the world, proceeding to look back down at your notes. In reality, you were trying to prevent yourself from looking at the cute (albeit, confused) way your best friend was staring at you over your abrupt question.
“Well I can’t say I’m not flattered, but there aren’t really that many people yn,”
A total lie, you think to yourself. Every time you two walked around campus, your best friend attracted the adoring stares of all your classmates like some hotshot celebrity. Yes, he was popular, and yes, he totally deserved it, but if everyone knew how dorky he was, maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to hand him their number after a single conversation.
Another lie, if everyone knew what a nerd Jeon Wonwoo actually was, they’d probably fall for him harder. You would know of course, first hand experience taught you a lot of things.
It taught you how endearing it was when Wonwoo wore oversized clothing, so that he could pull the sleeves over his palms when sipping on a hot drink at the local campus cafe. It made you realize his habit of pushing his glasses up his nose, because he was too stubborn to get the bridge adjusted. It made your insides melt whenever he was nervous because he had a habit of fiddling with his fingers. You were certain that if anyone was completely head over heels and absolutely smitten by him, it was definitely you.
“Not many people my ass,” you scoffed, “you spoke to her once, just once! And now you are holding her number.” Wonwoo laughs at your poor attempt at hiding your annoyance, “For your information, we were talking about a group project, and exchanging contact information. Nothing more, and nothing less.”
You gave a little huff before going back to pretend-studying, you definitely couldn’t focus when he was sitting right across from you. You knew you were more prone to jumping to conclusions nowadays, and you hoped that Wonwoo didn’t notice your shift in behaviour. In reality, you couldn’t help but feel a little pang of worry whenever your best friend was asked out on another date. And while he rejected the offer every time, you worried that one day he might say yes and you could lose him forever.
Not that you were against Wonwoo falling in love someday. If he found a good person that he wanted to be with for the rest of his life, you would support him in a heartbeat. It was just the selfish feeling that blossomed in your chest that prevented you from feeling any true happiness for these kinds of situations, and you hated it.
You knew that he would never abandon you completely, because Wonwoo was the best friend you could ever ask for. But you also knew that it would kill you inside to see him sweep someone else off their feet.
You’ve known Wonwoo since high school, and you definitely harboured a puppy crush on him all of first year. This was back when he was still trading pokemon cards in the gym stairwell and poking at you to buy him something from the milk vending machine. The crush went away eventually and you found yourself enjoying the rest of your high school career with your closest confidant by your side.
Once you both entered university, Wonwoo had a sudden growth spurt that now put him a total head taller than you. He no longer lurked at the stairwells during lunch and instead made lots of new friends that he went out for coffee with. He started dressing nicer, and once he exchanged his old glasses for a pair of round silver ones that rested on his nose so perfectly, he instantly transformed into someone straight out of a kdrama.
Now, you have caught feelings again. And you’re scared to admit that this time a puppy crush doesn’t even encapsulate everything you’ve been feeling lately. Of course Wonwoo’s sudden change in appearance didn’t spark anything new in your feelings towards him. It was the fact that he had a new air around him that was just completely different.
Wonwoo in high school was shy, and you loved him for who he was. You two had your own small circle of friends and you would spend all your time reading or playing games in his bedroom. Wonwoo in college however, was breaking out of his shell and being the first to approach people and make new friends. He was still introverted of course, shyness and introvertedness were two different things after all. But you were proud to see Wonwoo take the initiative to make plans more often and reach out.
Wonwoo has also gotten a lot more comfortable around you. He’s grown fond of resting his head on your shoulder after a long day of classes, and wrapping you in his sweaters whenever you came by his flat. In conclusion, everything about university student Wonwoo, was driving you, (and probably the entire campus) crazy.
“Hello? yn? Don’t you have a class soon?”
You swat away the hand that was waving in front of your face to meet the eyes of the cause of all your heart troubles. One smile from Wonwoo and you were in shambles. You had it really, really bad. “Right, right, sorry I was just...distracted.”
“We’re still on for tonight right? You can just head straight to my dorm after your last class.”
“Of course Won, did you really think I was going to miss out on another rewatch of Extraordinary You?”
“Of course not,” Wonwoo chuckled. You were met with another one of those soft gazes from him, and you immediately tried to break your stare. Something in your heart tells you that you should just confess right now, and that Wonwoo was a sensible individual who wouldn’t let go of your friendship if he didn’t feel the same way.
“Hey Won, can I tell you something after class later?”
“Of course.” There was that smile again. If you weren’t so busy trying to slow your heart rate down, you would have caught the way his eyes brightened at hearing your question, and the way he looked down to twindle with his fingers.
You give Wonwoo your own smile before heading off to your last detour of the day.
Tumblr media
Sleepovers with Wonwoo always consisted of a mountain of blankets, a never ending pile of snacks and a show to watch before eventually both of you fell asleep. When you arrived at his flat just as he was adding the finishing touches to a home cooked dinner, you realized that sleepovers with Wonwoo also consisted of another thing: Your tragic inability to keep your heart rate down.
“Dinner will be ready in a bit, you can just wash up and get changed for now,” Wonwoo turns to greet you before adding some pepper to the tteokbokki.
You nod and head over to his bathroom, where you already find your change of clothes resting on the counter. Any outsider would have been under the impression that you and Wonwoo lived together, considering that pieces of you were scattered all over his apartment. From the matching toothbrushes that were kept by the sink, to the drawer reserved only for your clothes in his bedroom.
The only reason that you and Wonwoo didn’t room together upon entering university, was the fact that your parents were wary of you rooming with a boy you weren’t even dating. Not that it mattered now, considering that you at least spent two nights at his place away from your own dorm.
After you showered and changed into your pajamas, you realized that Wonwoo had given you one of his sweaters to wear, instead of the usual shirts you slept in. Usually you would have raided his bedroom after dinner to steal one (you slept much better when you wore his clothing) but this time it appeared that he had taken the initiative for you.
Once you stepped out of the bathroom, you saw that Wonwoo was already sitting at the dining table and was on his phone. It looked like he was texting someone, and you felt your heart sink a little when he laughed at a message. No, you are not going to be jealous. You are going to be happy for your friend because he deserves all the happiness in the world.
“Is that the girl from your group project?” You sat down across from him and started piling the tteokbokki and rice onto your plate. “Yeah, she said that the professor just sent out a mass email to our class, saying that we were going to be given an extension. Turns out that email was meant for another course, but everyone is already celebrating the new deadline.”
Wonwoo shuts off his phone and turns to you, “Was there something you wanted to tell me today?”
Right. You were going to confess your feelings. It was now or never, and you weren’t sure if you could hold it in much longer. “I can just tell you after dinner, I’m starving.”
Tragic. Tragic. Tragic. Why couldn’t you just say the words, “Hey Won, I have feelings for you, do you feel the same way?” Must you be in a spiraling paradox of questioning the presence of unrequited love in the relationship you had with your best friend? Yes, most definitely yes. Since the world likes to make everything difficult for those in love.
Dinner was eaten in a comfortable silence for the most part. You liked that you never felt the need to fill the air with more conversation whenever you were with Wonwoo. There were days where you would just sit in each other’s presence and do your own thing, and those days left you with lots of time to ponder on your feelings for him. Tonight was the night that you were going to say these feelings aloud for the first time...you just needed a bit more time to procrastinate.
After you both finished your food, you relocated yourselves to the couch. You fidgeted with the end of your (his) sweater while Wonwoo searched for the show on Netflix. You figured that you would let him know in the morning, since there was a chance that you two would fall asleep before the episode ended. And you didn’t want to confess beforehand either, in fear of having to endure a brutal one hour of awkward tension if he didn’t feel the same way.
“Who would have thought that out of all the days the wifi could have chosen to bail on us, they chose the day where we were going to find out whether Haru belonged to Dan-oh’s story or not,” Wonwoo fiddles with the remote some more, while you panic in silence at the thought of spending the night with no distractions from your feelings.
“It’s not like we don’t already know how it ends,” You take deep quiet breaths to calm yourself down, you can definitely make it through the night, “We can just do other things.”
“What do you have in mind?”
You couldn’t answer him right away. The only thing you had on your mind was the fact that Wonwoo’s hand was now resting on your knee and that it was baffling how good he could look in pajamas. Wonwoo, sensing your inability to form words nervously glanced up at you before moving the conversation in a different direction, “Look, I know you had something to tell me today yn, but I realized that I wanted to share something with you too. I am in love-”
“I am in love with you Jeon Wonwoo!”
There. You blurted out a long-awaited confession before the anticipation consumed you whole. You couldn’t tear your eyes away from your hands in fear of seeing the look on Wonwoo’s face.
“Let me hear you say it again.”
“What?” You turn to Wonwoo, who no longer looked nervous. Instead, he wore the biggest shit-eating grin on his face that made you want to both kiss and strangle him. “Say it again.”
“Not when you look like you just won the lottery you nerd, you didn’t even say-”
“I am in love with you too yn.”
Well, you were never one to complain about the fact that your feelings were returned. But the way Wonwoo was cooing at your adorable expression of shock only made you want to shove him off the couch.
Which you proceeded to do.
“Hey! Aren’t you happy that I like you too?”
“Of course I’m happy! You didn’t have to try to beat me to my confession though, tonight was going to be my night!”
“You didn’t seem like you were going to say anything for the rest of the evening! You were going to wait until the next day weren’t you?”
Absolutely yes. “No!”
Any remaining tension in the atmosphere washed away as you and Wonwoo made fun of each other on the living room floor. You were beyond relieved and a little giddy that your best friend in the whole wide world saw you in the way that you saw him.
“But on a more serious note Won, were you also going to confess tonight too?”
“Actually no, but once you came out of the washroom wearing my sweater, I just had to say it before I tackled you with cuddles or something.”
“You gave me your sweater instead of my clothes to wear!”
“I know!” Wonwoo was holding your hand now and rubbing circles into your palm. The idea of cuddling the entire night didn’t sound so bad. “But you looked all nervous and shy and I was hoping that you were going to be the one to say something first.”
“Can we just agree that we confessed at the same time?” As the adrenaline from the confession began to slip away you suddenly became very tired, and you were hoping to just spend the night in the arms of your favourite person.
“Deal. So can we cuddle now?”

crime boys talk about life and death and the anxieties of revival
I have all these takes about both of them and yet i dont know if I can use them to write fics
The inside of the van seemed silent, painfully so.
It could be that Wilbur was just imagining it, as Ranboo was never around at this time of the day, even before he...
Wilbur preferred not to think about it.
He heard of what happened from Philza. He has not been back to the commune since, there was no way he could risk meeting Tubbo and feeling his cold gaze on himself, both of them silently aware that he caused this.
All he could do was hide, now. Hide, and pray to a god he knows is either not there or just too cruel to help that the teenager killed by his pride has an afterlife that is less cruel than his was.
He tried to shut his eyes after this, but sleep did not come easy, which is why he was relieved when someone started banging on the door of his van.
Wilbur cared little about who could have been on the other side, so he opened the door.
Tommy stood outside, as impatient as ever.
"Now what do you want." Wilbur asked.
"Phil said you've gone missing."
"I have not."
"Can I go inside?"
"Tommy, do you know how late it is?"
"Come on, Wilbur, it's not like you were asleep!"
He stepped aside to let Tommy in. He neglected to shoot back that even if he were asleep, the banging would have definently woken him up.
"Really you should be glad I even had the courage to come here." Said Tommy offhandedly as he made his way inside.
"What does that mean?" Asked Wilbur. "You think I'd hurt you for coming here?"
He shut the door.
"First of all, Wil, I think you couldn't even hurt a spider." He sat down on Wilbur's sleeping bag. "Not physically I mean."
The ex-president sighed.
"Second." He reduced his voice to a whisper. "Have I told you Dream is stalking me?"
Wilbur's head shot up.
"What?"
"Yeah." Tommy agreed, his voice cracking. "And he wants me dead."
"But." Wilbur started. "He's brought you back before, didn't he? Why the fuck would he want to kill you again?"
"That is exactly the point." Said the teen. "He wants to do it again and again and again and-"
"I get it, stop!" Snapped Wilbur. 
He slumped down next to the boy.
"So why have you holed up in here anyway? It's fucking miserable." Tommy asked.
"Ranboo is dead."
"I was his friend before you were, you know."
"And how is that supposed to help me?"
"He came here a couple of weeks after you died. I knew him more. He wouldn't want you to suffer."
"But I took one of his lives."
Tommy drew in a sharp breath. He knew the story, there was no way he didn't.
"I killed him, Toms. I doomed him to that-" he gasped, involuterality. "-that hell."
"I promise we'll get him back out." Said Tommy. An empty promise, this was. The only way out for Ranboo was if Dream took pity, something he rarely did, or if he was defeated and the secret of revival was taken from him. Just as unlikely.
"I don't think I would wish ressurection upon him either." Wilbur said.
Tommy didn't speak in return, but he felt he needed to explain himself.
"You know, I love being alive. I love seeing the sun, and being able to speak to people, but." He wondered if it's okay to open up. He wondered if Tommy will judge him. "But it's just been so terribly hard. Sometimes I wake up and i'm on the floor and it's dark. I can't open my eyes because what if i'm back? What if I imagined all of this?"
"How often?"
"Most nights. Most nights when I manage to fall asleep, that is."
Tommy grabbed his hand, not too tightly.
"I'm scared of pain." He simply said.
"How do you cope with it?"
"I don't know." He held his hand a little tighter. "But it's nicer when you can talk about it."
"I don't want to overwhelm you."
"Then talk to Phil! Okay maybe not Phil." He said. "There has to be others who care about you. And in just a couple years, I promise you, we'll be fine."
"Do you believe that?"
"I don't. But it's what Tubbo told me once."
Wilbur let out a bitter laugh.
Maybe it was better to believe it, even if it seemed like an empty hope.
Tommy leaned his head against his shoulder. Maybe they will be fine, just tonight. Maybe he could fall asleep, and wake up feeling safe. He could hope, maybe.

hAPPY BIRTHDAY SHUICHI!!!
Tumblr media
(am i spamming this????? my tumblr is NOT working well)
c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-can i request Kokichi, K1b0 and Miu (separately) with a s/o who has social phobia and cries when ppl comment about how shy they are?😰
i need some angst to fluff, maybe if the character ends up making the s/o feel bad and just comforts them in the end?
thank you<3.
Yes of course
This is my first time writing for Miu too
Also, im sorry if this is offensive. Ive never had anxiety 🤷🏻‍♀️ so if its offensive just tell me and ill fix it
Miu Iruma who's s/o has social phobia
Ok, Miu is a dislikeable person.
No, i love her and i would befriend her, but her classmates doesn't say the same. So i think you don't either since she insults you in any possible way.
(Also since they are japanese and she is eveything but a polite person)
Let's say you made a mistake, she insults you, and you start to cry for two reasons:
You are scared.
You are crying in front of everyone and the embarrasment makes you cry even more wich also makes you cry.
Miu felt bad for it (and got a scared attitude since she got insulted by the rest of the group).
She apologize, but does it on private.
This is not a selfish action...
She knows you are anxious. She knew it, even when she say those awfull things to you, but didn't really thought it was that bad.
So yes, she is sorry.
But you don't forgive her 🤨.
So she decides to do you a favor. She may let you touch her body🤑 build something for you. For free!
Doesn't know what, so she let you decide.
I don't know what you asked her to do, but as long as you spend time with her, your anxiety goes down... A little bit.
You see yourself hanging with her more often and feeling more calm.
She defends you from any aggression... Before shrinking.
Of course, your relationship is more complicated than that since Miu is Miu and you are you.
But the time makes it healthier.
Anyways, since you feel more in comfort with Miu, you can also defend her a little bit sometimes (before running away with her holding you hand).
But that might never happen. The worst aggression you two will have are Kokichi's. Those are not that bad.
So, with this weirdo, or she either protects your anxious ass, or you either take her away.
She really will try to make you less anxious by creating more therapeutic machines.
Miu is a smart woman. I'm sure she can help.
Kokichi Ouma who's s/o has social phobia
Yes, Kokichi loved to tease you at first.
Seeing you all shy and with a red face was hillarious.
Until you started to get scared...
And cry...
Ngl you scared him.
"H... Hey, i get it, nice joke. Now stop it 😰".
He is way more nice since then.
Yes, he does jokes around, but that's just his personality.
He realized this wasn't normal after a while.
So he tries to help you with it.
And after a while, you seemed to calm down only around him.
Your anxiety IS a mental illness (according to Google), so it's not that easy.
So please forgive him is something goes wrong and he makes you cry 😅.
Finds it cute when you depend on him, but after a while...
He really thinks you should go and see a doctor. Until then, he is there for emotional support!
Kokichi loves you and wants you to be happy and comfortable.
He won't try to do the opposite, but sometimes he can mess up.
He is not a therapist. Don't ask too much from him.
Just imagine you him introducing you to Gonta, the nicest character 😍.
And now imagine Gonta showing you his bugs 💀
Shuichi Saihara who's s/o has social phobia
You don't even need to tell him.
He doesn't know you have a phobia, but he does know you are a scared person.
So when you started crying at him he was... Also scared.
"S... S/o?! W... What happened?! Are you ok?!"
Now he knows how bad it is.
He is so sorry. Really.
Even when you forgive him, he still feels sorry.
So he decides to treat you nicer? Like, more patient and kind.
You can trust him. You know you can but, uh, how to explain it? You can't.
With the time, he gets more involved on it. He tries harder.
Not in a bad way! He is not trying to be cringe or scared you, but he can't just leave things like that.
No no. Dont judge him. i know you are doing it
And everytime, you two became more and more close.
And so you started to feel more in comfort around him.
You two became friends, and with the time, you started to date.
But it took a while.
Shuichi protects you from any aggression. He always takes you on count and tries to make you feel comfortable.
Introduces you to his friends, his training, and a lot of more things you feel capable of doing.
It is pretty nice.
He doesn't cure you. Again, you need to see a therapist.
But he does his best and you are reslly happy with that.
Your relationship goes slow, but it goes.

Headcanons for being Patrick Hocksetter’s Older Sister and being in the Bower’s Gang
Bower’s Gang x Hocksetter!reader
warnings: i mean, it’s the bower’s gang so like, blood and guns and knives and shit, alcohol too
a/n: i don’t typically write for them but i wanted to give it a shot! reminder to everyone to check out this post before requesting! i actually changed it to older sister though, hope you dont mind!
prompt: @jinxed1398: “Hey, i was wondering if you write for the bowers gang(it)? If so can you make a headcanon where you are Patrick's older twin sister who is in the gang? If not then you could totally just ignore me”
Tumblr media
you were friends with henry first, way back in second grade
you introduced patrick to him and after that, you, pat, henry, vic, and “belch” were good friends
the boys grew up a bit violent, you were one of the only sensible people on board
“patrick, give me the lighter”
“no, you’re not the boss of me”
“if you don’t give it to me, i’ll take it”
*gives you lighter*
they feared you just as much as they feared henry, which led to some rivalry down the road
and a lot of arguments
“y/n, back off or i’ll gut you!”
“i’d like to see you try, henry! sure your daddy won’t drag you away?”
patrick being scared you’re gonna snitch to your mom when he does something stupid
“are you kidding me, pat? i’d be in just as much trouble as you since im ‘the older one’”
getting the gang to call him “patty cakes”
he HATES it but he wont do anything about it
belch....burping in your face
and you smacking him
because he burped......in your face
“do it again, i dare ya”
tell me that patrick hasnt stolen your hairspray. that’s right, you cant.
“patrick, if i look under your goddamn bed and find my missing cans of hairspray its OVER FOR YOU”
“wait, don’t go in my room!”
going to henry’s house to hang out
his dad thinks youre...okay
not great, but not the worst
but he didn’t suspect a THING when you were stealing beers and whiskey from him
shaking your head when they terrorized those kids, but not really stepping in
“dont you guys have better things to do than bully a bunch of kids?”
“what, like braid each other’s hair? is that what you have in mind?”
patrick RARELY every stood up for you unless henry was trying to do something that crossed lines
“henry, cut it out”
“patrick, i can handle myself”
the rough week after school ended when patrick went missing
the boys were a little nicer, but not really
“he’ll turn up, y/n. he’s probably just trying to get away from you”
“im gonna bash your skull in, bowers”
vic backing you up and IMMEDIATELY regretting it once bowers snaps on him
but he thought he’d be less likely to be stabbed if he was on your side which didn’t work out too well in the long run
bowers sneaking off with the boys to terrorize kids again
“you’ve gotta be fuckin kidding me, you guys act like children”
“we don’t answer to you, y/n”
“well, maybe if you did, we’d know where patrick was”
fist fight with henry
the boys had to pull you off of each other
henry stealing his dad’s gun
and his dad getting a bit pissed about it
but he let you do the honors and take the shot that proved that henry was weak
“you would’ve froze up too if you had a bullet shot at you!”
“well, i wouldn’t have made the mistake that led to getting shot in the first place, dumbass”
your mom made you stay home the day that vic and belch got killed because she was worried about losing another kid
and thank god for mother’s intuition because you’d have been murdered if you’d gone with bowers
you did think about that day often, though. maybe you could’ve stopped bowers and still had your friends
idk if you’d care for this headcanon but i feel like y/n would get some sort of redemption after she lost all her friends and became an outcast. maybe the losers club would take her in? just a thought. the end.

chapter two is out here! or read below the cut!
Dean turned the key to unlock the door. they all stepped inside, still in their moment of Revelation. the silence was eventually broken by jack saying, “why’s it empty?”
“It’s ‘cause our furniture isn’t here yet,” Cas explained. Dean tacked on that it would be arriving sometime today. In the meantime, before the stuff arrived, Dean took the time to explain what exactly this endeavor meant for everyone. He had applied online for a mechanic job the week prior, they had only gotten back to him to tell him he got the job the day before. Dean was still reeling from everything happening so fast. it’s like everything hed wanted for so many years was finally coming to fruition, and it was an adjustment.
Cas had signed both Jack and Claire up for school. Jack was going into first grade and Claire into her senior year of high school. Obviously, Claire was older than that, but she could pass as younger just for a little while, while everything was sorted out. Plus she could gather valuable intel that way. The hard part would be getting her to agree to this plan. Jack, on the other hand, was completely thrilled about starting school. He couldn’t wait to be able to have friends his own age. Cas didn’t have much to do throughout the day, but with the other stay-at-home parents in the neighborhood, he was sure he could find some way to help out.
Snapping out of his daydream, Dean took the time to explain how everything would go in the next month or so. “I got a job at the repair shop down the road, Cas will stay here and look after everything, Jack will go to school like we planned, and Claire, we sort of set you up in school again.”
“Wow, you guys are really on a kick of making life decisions without asking me arent you!”
“Claire, it was the best option at the time, we needed the intel from kids that age, and its not like Dean or I could just walk in and ask,” Cas explained.
There was no doubt about it, she reacted as expected. Even though shed only been out of school for a year or so, she’d never enjoyed it when she was involved, so the thought of going back made her sick to her stomach. Since there was really no where to stomp off too, as the entire house was empty, she settled for sitting on the floor behind the kitchen island to process. Some ten minutes later Dean came and sat down on the floor next to her.
“Look, I get it. Nothing can be perfect for us, but sometimes you just gotta tough it out and it’ll be better than you think.”

(This is a flashback to the action point just so everyone knows whats happening)
It was a normal Tuesday evening. The couple was eating dinner just as normal. Quiet conversation, and unspoken glances were commonplace for them, so the feeling over eerie silence was nothing new, and neither thought anything of it. They didn’t even hear the sound of the door open. Did the door even open?
The husband reached across the table for the salt, his wife screamed in horror when she caught sight of the tall hooded figure above him. The town was small and she shouldve known who it was at first sight, but unfortunately, when youre about to be stabbed, those things dont come as easy. She reached across the table for her phone to call 911, but she didnt make it before the figure had stabbed her husband and was moving on to her. Those were the last thoughts she had before being found in a pool of her own blood the next morning.
The neighbor had heard them and called the cops. News spread like the blight, and everyone was taken in for questioning, so far, no motive or prime suspects had been declared. It had been a month since, and the police presence was now slim to none, even though almost no progress had been made into the actual investigation. That’s just how it is when you have to solve a murer case with nothing to go on but a dead couple and a town of suburbanites.

(this is bak in normal time just fyi)
After about half an hour of just trying to process what was happening, Claire was ready to go back to join the rest of her family in putting their furniture together. Cas was sitting on the floor in front of what looked like it could be a table, if you positioned it correctly.
“You need some help?” She asked.
“Yes, if it isnt too much to ask, I could use an extra hand,” he gestured to the manual, “it says you need two people here anyway.”
Claire sat down next to cas and took the manual from his hands, “what step are you even on? None of the pictures look like whatever you’ve managed to create.”
Upstairs, Dean was trying to show Jack how to use an impact driver, “look, I know youre only like what? Five? But its never too early to learn how to use a set of tools.” He handed the tool over to Jack, it looked wildly disproportionate in his hands but that’s not what mattered, what mattered was the fact that he was having a bonding moment with his son, a positive one too. He was bridging the gap of what he missed in his childhood, and giving Jack what he had wanted.

The next day was spent almost exclusively on introductions. First they went over and greeted their new neighbors on each side, Tracey and Paul Wayne on their right, and Peter and Vicky David on their left. It seemed to them that neither of them had much of a clue as to what was going on regarding the murder, seeing as that was not mentioned even in passing. However it could be basic politeness and not wanting to scare your new neighbors away. Both couples were in their mid-fiftes and greeted them kindly. The Waynes had a wooden statue of an eagle with some pro-America quote on it, and that was one of the most memorable things about them. The other memorable thing was their brigh red Volkswagon Beetle in the driveway. Dean silently noted a love of older cars as something to connect over in case he ever needed to get closer to them. The Davids had 6 small dogs, and that was their defining trait, they seemed like the people to have “I love my shitzu” stickers plastered all over their car, but they seemed like fine enough people.
The next thing on the agenda was when someone rang their doorbell. It was a woman about their age, who had come to their door both to introduce herself, and to inform them of a house party happening later that night. The woman introduced herself as Hester Stewart from two houses down. Both Dean and Cas were glad to see that there was someone their age who didn’t have a strange amount of pets, or questionable taste in outdoor decor. They made introductions of their own, Claire and Jack even briefly appeared to say hello. They asked her for more information about the party, and she explained that it was being put on by the HOA president to distract from all that was happening, “I guess she figured one shindig would make everyone forget about the murder that happened a few houses down from her house.” She gestured down the road and to the right, apparently in the direction of the woman’s house, “Also she did ask me to invite you, I’m not just asking you to show up without anyone’s permission,” she clarified.
After that they thanked her and went on with their day. “Do you think we should attend the party later today?” Cas asked. Not looking up from the loveseat he was putting together
“I think I was planning on it, it’d be a good way to get out and meet people, not to mention gather details on what’s happening around here without looking suspicious,” Dean replied, flipping the page in the manual.
Cas agreed. Usually events like this weren’t his thing, but he could suck it up for an hour or two if it meant gathering intel. He made a mental note to prepare for more events like this one, and pushed it to the back of his mind. He found himself having to do that more often since becoming human. His angel brain could process more information than any human by hundreds, but downsizing the amount of space in his brain was an adjustment, and he found himself having to push things of the back of his mind more often.
Claire had been eavesdropping from the top of the staircase for the past exchange. Truth be told, she was almost excited to ‘meet the new neighbors’ in such a domestic fashion. She had just gotten off the phone with Kaia, she was showing her the layout of the house, as well as updating her on the situation she had gotten herself into. “They really put you back in high school?” Kaia had asked, thinking about how if anyone had done that to her, she’d’ve put up a lot more of a fight.
“They really put me back in high school,” she had replied. Maybe deep down she did want to sort of have the closure she missed in her high school years.  She missed Kaia a large amount for only not seeing her face to face for a little less than a week, but she had learned from all she’d lost, that she just had to let herself feel her feelings.
They all gathered in the empty living room shortly after. Cas explained the whole plan to Jack and her. Jack was thrilled to be getting out of the house, and getting to see new people. He’d always been a social person, even before becoming a child, but that certainly amplified his social need. This was part of the reason Dean and Cas wanted to get out of the bunker in the first place. Now that they were actually in a position for him to make friends his age, they were certainly going to make that a priority. Dean had noticed that there were more than a few kids Jack’s age in his walk around the neighborhood earlier that day.
The hours before the gathering came faster than expected. Everyone was in a rush to change into nicer clothes and make themselves not look like they’d been putting together furniture all day. (they had, but it was the act of making themselves presentable that matters in this case.) After all, weren’t first impressions the most important? Dean hadn’t really taken account the need for nice clothes this early on in his endevour, so the nicest things he had were a button down and his spare pair of jeans. Not that anyone else was much better off. Claire was wearing a skirt with a jean jacket and combat boots, Jack didn’t change at all seeing as he didn’t see the need, and who were they to argue. Cas was probably the most normal looking of them all, with his blue suit jacket paired with some jeans.

˗ˏˋMary, Midari, and Runa with an s/o who is a ghostˎˊ˗
Pronouns: gender neutral; they/them
Warnings: cussing. mentions of death, murder, suicide and a g>n-
Note: request by @massivewolfpandaknight thank you so much i love writing for kakegurui especially these girls!! Also marys is longer then all the other ones sorry😔 i tried to have more fun with this request too so i hope its still good :(
-----------
Mary Saotome
Tumblr media
First off, you met because of Yumeko
She was dragging you all over the school and at one point it was pissing you off so much you just decided to work your ~ghostly~ magic and get out of her grip
As shes lecturing you on acting normal, you're just staring at her with a black expression
"I dont see the problem"
"The problem is that we dont want everyone knowing your DEAD" she says ending her sentence with a sinister smile
It lowkey creeped you out
So you let out a sigh and give her a, "fine but dont drag me around like you did at our old school"
You actually died at the old school you used to go but you didn't have to stick at the school, you could go where ever
There weren't any boundaries lets say
So when Yumeko moved schools she dragged you with her and here you were now, pretending like you were still alive and not dead at all~
While you both were in deep conversation Mary came barging in asking "who in the hell is this bitch"
Sighing at her rude attitude you flick her forehead, your cold finger almost giving her a brain freeze and she stood in shock for a second.
"Who do you think you are" she says crossing her arms
What were you supposed to say to that, "a ghost???"
You mimic her actions and words in a high pitch voice
Yeah your relationship didn't start on the right foot
But hey after that whole meeting, you and Mary spent quite a long time together
Even though you fought a few times since her ego was so massive at the start of your relationship
But after a while she started opening up to you more and being nicer
Even going as far to be more affectionate to you and Yumeko noticed fast
Seeing as you were, very, oblivious
And didn't think anybody wanted to date you because you're a ghost, you thought nothing over her new actions towards you
At one point Yumeko just grabs you, brings you into a room, and tells you the truth
"Mary likes you, are you stupid? Oblivious or something? Go get her"
And as soon as you were in the room, you were out
As you stumbled out the door, Yumeko walking out calmly after you, Mary finds you
She looks between you and Yumeko, rasing her brow
Before leaving Yumeko says "no, nothing happened" winking at Mary and running away
You're still lowkey shocked at what Yumeko said
If you were alive, you'd probobly be blushing right now
"Heyyy Mary"
"What was that all about?" She asks, her cheeks puffed up a tiny bit
"Oh, it was nothing we were just talking"
"Didn't seem like just talking.." She mutters under her breath but you caught it
"Are you jealous??" You snicker out, getting closer to Mary step by step
As you walk closer and closer you basically have her pinned to the wall, blushing she just looks away from you
You smirk and give her a cheek a peck
She looks back with a shocked look on her face before giving you a smirk too
"Idiot, you missed"
Y'all kiss after that-
Honestly, she really doesent care that you're, dead-
She really likes when you pat her head or scratch her scalp since your fingers are cold
Flicking her forehead actually became a habit too-
You also have scheduled gambles and she gets mad at you if you say no sometimes
Midari Ikishima
Tumblr media
To be honest, at first you wanted nothing to do with Midari
But she just kept on talking to you and annoying you
And even though the memory is blurry and hazy somewhere in between begging you to gamble with her and her being by your side twenty four seven
You started to get less annoyed by her
In the midst of starting a friendship with that girl you told her you were actually
And when you saw that glint in her eyes you got w o r r i e d
She almost tried to commit not alive on the spot
You screamed
Your reflexes were good enough and you took the g>n out of her hands
You tried to push her away but she fell on top of you in the process
Knowing her you knew she was going to say something that will not do good for you
So you panic and accidently go through the floor
You can hear her hit the floor even through the thick floor, it made you laugh but you wont tell her that
When you go back into the room shes actually knocked out
Did she really hit the floor that hard-
Either way you grab her unconscious body and take care of her until shes back on her feet
For once in your (after) "life" you see Midari calm
It was a very weird sight
She made you gamble with her once too
Never again.
You somehow one and she got too excited waiting for whatever punishment was going to happen next, she was on top of you at one point
You've also caught her in...compromising positions and you've ran out of that situation as fast as you could
She dreams of the day she can actually get you alone without you running away
It happened once, and that was the day you guys actually got together
She cornered you and you forgot all about your ghostly abilities for once
She pushes up to you and puts her face right in front of your face
"Why do you panic so much"
..what in the hell-
Since she's only met with your silence and your eyes aren't even meeting hers she gets a little impatient
She bonks you on the head with her g>n, not very lightly may i add
And as you open your mouth to protest she takes this opportunity to kiss you. After all shes been crushing on you for so long, not like you noticed though
You thought she chased everyone around
Im not going to act like the kiss went too smoothly, your teeth crashed with hers before you pulled away to give her an actual kiss
You grab her chin and give her a proper kiss this time, her g>n making a soft thud when it fell on the ground but you didn't pay much mind to it
After that she tries to kiss you as much as possible, sometimes more then kissing even when there are people around
Shes like one of those kids you have to put the animal backpack leashes, yeah you always need to check up on her before she does a disaster
When you joke about it she doesn't take it as a joke
So next time you see her at school with a leash in her hands you run away immediately
Runa Yomozuki
Tumblr media
You guys met when she caught you trying to watch a gambling fight and didn't recognize you as a student there.
You guys met eyes and you just sat there like, "...hi :D"
She immediately starts questioning you, lollipop still in her mouth and you could barely understand half of the words she was saying-
When she notices you don't even care and you're just staring at the candy in her mouth she sighs and grabs another lollipop from her pockets
She hears you softly mutter, "i haven't had these in ages", shes a little confused
You just look up innocently and say, "oh im dead", when she gives you a questioning gaze
You're surprised when she doesn't start doubting your words-
She just goes "oh, makes sense" and walks away
You just sit there like, ?????
Also you might not have any taste buds
But you're still addicted to those lollipops
Anyways after that you make it your goal to annoy her as much as possible
And you do
For a few months actually
She usually shuts you up with a lollipop sometimes you annoy her by making the lollipop pass right through you
At one point she takes on a different method to shut you up and kisses your cheek, you sat there for a second and malfunctioned
She giggles at your reaction and does it a lot more
Doesent matter how many times she does it, you never get used to it
Your relationship kind of just blossomed
You guys didn't even notice any of it until one day you were staring at each other and kissed and you both just went "okay well we're dating now"
Everyone else barely knew about you so when they see Rona and you just kissing they're so confused
Rona doesn't even explain and you don't bother too either
She finds it funny
She giggles a little when you give her kisses since your lips are just as cold as you are
She now has to get even more candy since you both are obsessed and you steal her candy from her too
You pay back in kisses though
She likes it that way😌
She also likes to join you in scaring the students of the school
You guys do it in various ways but there are some that you like more
For example, sometimes she starts talking to someone and youll randomly appear right behind her and somehow that scares some of the students to death
Another one of your favorites is hiding behind a corner together and just waiting for people nearby and then yelling in their faces
Usually she goes first and after the person has calmed down you chime in and yell in their face too

oh nothing in a book has ever made me as angry as fucking pissed off as i am now about the end of chain of iron and i have a lot to say on it (i have more to say on the last few chapters of chain of iron than i did on the entirety of the folk of the air series)
ill start with being glad lucie was able to raise jesse but definite reylo vibes there and im ignoring the end of that so watch me ignore if lucie dies ill be like yea ya know shes just,,, somewhere else but i hated how many secrets she kept from fucking everyone i mean she didnt tell a single person the whole truth of anything shes got secrets on top of secrets and thats not good but hey matthews drinking isnt good either and no one but the lucie and cordelia ever really say anything about that so theres that and im not counting james’ you dont love anyone as much as you love that bottle or w/e he said bc that wasnt talking to him to try to help and get him to stop drinking that was just a hit bc they were fighting and i hate that i hate that they were fighting bc they wouldnt have been if it wasnt for that fucking bracelet and which has caused so many fucking problems that i could cry in indignation bc its not its not fucking fair james spent the last what three years of his life in a fog not being able to feel and not being able to notice his parabatai slowly spiraling into a drunken depression from something thats not his fault at all i mean yes it is his fault that his mother took the potion but it is not his fault that the baby died thats no ones fault but whoever sold him the potion and yea he shouldnt have bought it in the first place but he was kid and he thought that was the only way he could get the truth and its unfair its fucking unfair and alistair god alistair he knows what he did in school was wrong but he saw it as the only way and now hes trying to make up for it and apologise and be a better fucking person and thomas sees that and thomas loves him for that and alistair wont let himself be loved and its not fair and anna oh anna talk about not letting yourself be loved she put on such a good front she did but she shouldnt have ariadne loves her and wants to be with her fully with her but anna has to understand the stigma of that and why ariadne cant come out yet hell thats still a problem today but we wont get into that because anna clearly loves ariadne but shes too afraid of getting hurt again and frankly she should just go for it i mean so what if you get hurt again at least youll finally feel something because i know she feels nothing for all those other girls i know theyre just replacements for ariadne and it isnt fair and speaking    of   replacements    fucking grace fuck grace but fucking grace just casually destroying james life listen i dont give a shit how she grew up i couldnt care less about how tatiana treated her and how scared she was of her because if shed just fucking helped then she wouldnt have to worry about a damn thing from tatiana i mean theres a number of things grace couldve done she couldve told the merry thieves everything and they couldve defeated belial like they are now and then no one would be around to help tatiana and grace couldve told anyone in the clave about all of tatianas shit and then they wouldnt have underestimated her and she wouldve been in a proper prison and thus unable to escape so damn easily and thus not fucking able to get to grace okay shes a fucking idiot and i hate her and i hate reading about her and im fucking disappointed in her for not taking the damn bracelet off okay i had very fucking low standards for her but i hoped she would take the bracelet off and at the very least i thought she could fucking not manipulate him further like god damn girl james is a much nicer and understanding person than i am and he would try to protect her from tatiana if he knew that grace was being threatened by her if grace took the bracelet off and told him the truth he would help her i fully believe that but since he had to find out on his own he was furious as he should be but i dont think he had to be nice to her when she showed up at the end there i mean i wouldve just yanked her in the house and started yelling at her right there fuck pretending his still under that enchantment fuck talking to her in private okay id chew her out in the entryway its not like cordelia doesnt need to know she fucking does and i think her finding out by overhearing james arguing with grace is actually a fantastic way to find out because she gets to hear everything all of what james feels and all of what grace did completely unfiltered not that james would try to hide it from her but hed definitely try to soften the blow and i just think she needs to hear the whole truth and AND i really fucking hate when characters overhear only part of something and assume the worst and run away its so common and i hate it so much and i hate how she ran to matthews because i knew it was going to happen and i knew matthew was in love with her and that it was already straining their bond because no one fucking realised that james was madly fucking in love with cordelia because of that fucking bracelet have i mentioned have i mentioned how much that bracelet pisses me off i dont think i have lets get into it so how james was unable to feel properly for three years and how his head was so foggy he was unable to think properly too and how because of that he missed matthew becoming a drunk and how the merry thieves look to james as their leader so if james isnt saying anything about it then there must not be anything to say and how james was already in love with cordelia before the bracelet and thats part of why grace couldnt control him and how he loved her for years how he was in love with her for years how no one knew this not even him because everyone thought he was in love with grace how cordelia was in love with him but thought he was in love with grace how cordelia got married to him knowing she was in love with him and thinking he was in love with someone else how she could tell he wanted her but thinking he just wanted her body and that he was still in love with grace how she’d rather have some of him than none of him at all how he picked out everything in their house with cordelia in mind how he remembered that she loves chess and she never thought he would how he learned a whole other language for her how he immediately checks on her after every battle how everyone, especially cordelia, just writes all this off as who knows what because he cant be in love with cordelia if hes in love with grace and hes obviously in love with grace how no one could ever notice there was something wrong because they were feeling the effects too how james was so in love with cordelia that that love unintentionally broke an enchantment made specifically for james by a Prince Of Hell one of the most powerful beings the entire species will ever meet and i think that covers the gracelet situation but i keep thinking of the scene where the bracelet cracks when grace first went to curzon street and kissed james and james’ mind literally thinking it was cordelia because who else would he be kissing and afterward grace saying ‘i dont know who you think you were kissing, james herondale, but it wasnt me’ and im like damn right bitch get fucked but back to cordelia running to matthews okay i know she didnt know matthew was in love with her so she wasnt doing anything wrong going to him but i kept thinking they were going to kiss or something because we all know matthews in love with her and there were a bunch of hints that cordelia might be attracted to matthew and she was upset about james and i just kept thinking something bad would happen and i was right but shit i didnt think id be like that i had no idea matthew was leaving for paris and even less of an idea that cordelia would join him and the thing is i cant even be mad i cant blame her i would probably do the same thing hell id probably ask to go with and im very proud of her for saying she’d go If matthew stops drinking i really appreicate that and i hope he gets better but the all those misses how james left the house only minutes after cordelia and arrived at matthews only minutes after they left and how he could see them at the train station could see them getting on the train and leaving and leaving him behind because his sister is missing and he shouldve ran and caught them and begged them to stay if not just to help find lucie because they both think of lucie as a sister and they absolutely wouldve stayed to help her and then there would be the chance for james to explain the gracelet situation and everything would be fine it would fine eventually and everything would be okay but NO and ive said a lot but i havent even mentioned cordelia being a paladin for fucking lilith yet where did that come from i was not expecting that ill tell ya see i thought it was odd that wayland the smith would still be alive and that it wasnt mentioned in any of the other books and i thought it was odd that some apparently god-like blacksmith would be wearing such an elegant jeweled necklace and i thought it was odd that magnus would be back from the spiral labyrinth for just a day and would be staying with hypatia instead of ya know his own place but shit id never have put it together as one person let alone lilith and i cant say it came out of nowhere because it said that edom used to be liliths so it would make sense that she would want belial gone so she could have it back but still that was unexpected but im not disappointed i mean im obviously upset that cordelia is now pledged to the mother of demons and feels like she cant even touch a weapon speaking of which what did she do with cortana where did she put it she said she dealt with it which makes me nervous but we know she couldnt have broken it or anything a) because i dont think she physically can and b) emma has cortana later but i think cordelia should keep cortana close since its the only thing that can mortally would belial and apparently he only needs one more before something happens im guessing before hes like gone gone so she definitely needs cortana and lilith wants her to kill belial so i think she should and if shes stuck as liliths paladin after that and never wants to touch a weapon again so be it but get rid of belial first ya know anyway i think there was something else i wanted to say but i cant remember so if you read all of this holy shit im sorry thats a lot i hope it was entertaining at least and i hope i didnt also get you pissed off

BRO why do u have my dream hair 😭 tell me ur secrets
lmaooo okay I haven't had that cut or colour in years now (i was actually growing it out at the time so that was a transitional haircut and had been out in the sun/humidity all day so uh... not great), but I can give some pointers if u really want to know! (these would assume you already have curls because... well... i do, and wouldn't know how to get there from straight or wavy) Tips for curly hair under the cut:
only shampoo once or twice a week: This prevents your hair from drying out and getting damaged (if your problem is that cutting out shampoo makes ur hair greasy, that's okay, it's likely because your scalp is used to replacing the oils you're shampooing out. After a week or two it'll realize it doesn't have to produce that much oil and your hair will feel much healthier) every other day is conditioner or nothing
get a good leave-in conditioner: The amount you use depends on you. I used 2 pumps of 2 different conditioners after every shower. you can also use gels or mousses, but I don't like them
comb wet and style your hair damp: a lot of hair people recommend only combing dry because it prevents hair loss, but for curly hair you have to comb damp or wet because curly hair is drier and prone to tangling so dry combing causes damage
Combing upside down helps increase volume at the roots! I have very flat hair, especially now that it's longer so this one is v important for me
Try to avoid separating curls while they're drying: you'll just cause damage and frizz, separation should be done during styling and after fully dry so you can see where it needs it and can avoid separating curls that don't need it (i separate while it's drying and it's such a bad habit lmao it feels like ur really doing something until it's dry and you realized you messed up)
if you use a hair drier get a diffuser! It helps hold curl patterns and gets the roots dry. Look up videos to help you learn how to use it properly, there's lots out there (also get heat protection cream to prevent damage and let your hair air dry whenever you can, it looks nicer I promise)
Bleaching and colouring changes the texture of your hair. I've dyed my hair a lot and it always feels different after. Dye generally makes it thicker and bleach makes it thinner and drier so if you change ur hair colour give yourself enough time to get used to styling it like that if you've got events coming up. I've found bleach gives me more volume but colour gives me less frizz and the next day after colouring always feels a bit weird to comb because it's just a little bit different from what you're used to
Silk pillowcases or caps: ok I dont do this one, but I should. It basically just prevents breakage while you sleep and helps keep your hair looking nice so you don't have to restyle (I just tie it up the next day idc)
Go to hairdressers who know how to cut curly hair. I've shopped around A LOT and still haven't found a place I like, but I will tell you, it makes a huge difference. The worst haircut I ever got in my life was from a lady with pin-straight hair who kept trying to comb mine flat and this was, unfortunately, the week before grad. I wound up having to tell her to stop, but I was too late already, I spent a good while in the car trying to fix it, but alas, there wasn't enough left (be vocal!! Don't let people do weird shit to your hair without your permission! Don't be like me, it's bad!) Best haircut? From a lady who had natural waves, which wasn't ideal, but still better!
Your hair behaves differently from other people's so do some experimentation! Watch a lot of videos and do research until you find a routine that works for you! I never had anyone teach me so I learned entirely from youtube and hair blogs and it took some time, but i got there! I've had to change my routine several times just based on how long my hair was, there is no one way to do it perfectly. Even showering in different cities can change things! I had great definition when I was in uni and terrible when i was back home and a big part of that was the water was different (not to mention air quality in the house, humidity in the region, etc etc there's so many factors, don't stress too much, go with the flow and take a hair elastic with you)
And finally, uh, get layers. Or shave part of ur head. Do whatever you want and don't be scared of trying something! It's hair! It'll grow back! Have fun with it! 💚

Hard agree on you about CDPR's characterization of Johnny. It's not only that he doesn't show up as often as he should, and that his lines are a bit wonky sometimes (side gigs mostly), but they also kinda made him more of an asshole than he actually is? Like, they made Rogue say that he cheated on her. Three times. That is not in the actual lore. Why did they add that??? In the actual story they even share a sweet moment with him saying she's the best and calling her by her actual name.
Part 2 For Context: Another thing to add to my post, TTRPG Johnny also buys entire warehouses and converts them into living spaces for homeless artists and such. He does free concerts to expose NCPD brutality. The guy even felt bad in 2013, when he made the people rally against Arasaka bc he didn't want any of them to die. Like, he's a shit, but he's actually a very decent man too. I guess 2077 Johnny is just an engram and not the real one, but still, could've done better with his writing.
I'm trying to think carefully of how I wanna word this. Because I know when discussing problematic character behaviors, its a slippery slope at times. So, I wanna preface by saying, I am by no means justifying his actions by any means.
However, my issues with his characterization have less to do with me wanting him to be nicer and/or closer to his TTRPG counterpart. I'm not someone who was heavy into the TTRPG, I never played, I've just done some cursory research into it out of curiosity after playing the video game. Mostly out of curiousity of what still could or would fit into the video game. I've talked a bit of how I think the Silverhand Studio warehouses could fit as a project he tried when he was younger that failed. And I could easily see the police brutality awareness concerts still being something samurai did, cause Johnny in cyberpunk 2077 still cares about and is passionate about those issues; but he's a giant fucking asshole disaster who treats people like shit. At least thats how I see him.
And like, again, not justifying his actions but from a character and narrative standpoint. I like the decision to make him an asshole. Because to me, personally, his growth and redemption is the best part of the game. Like, obviously I love a lot of other things in the game and it has value beyond that. But to me his redemption and changing is so critical to the plot. That if he was just good guy johnny who is still good guy johnny by the end, it would take a lot away from the game to me. Which may or may not be fucked up that I prefer an asshole who becomes nicer than nice man who stays nice. But a journey is more interesting than a sit, ya know?
But my issues are generally; at times inconsistencies, consequences for his assholery, and just wish we saw more.
Ive talked somewhat about how he can be inconsistent in his development between main quests and side quests. He can be very erratic, which that also is probably just part of his character rather than an inconsistency. But those things can make it hard to understand him and can feel odd. But that also can just come from sidemissions being mostly nonlinear. In my ideal world where cdpr gave themselves more time; i would have liked if side quest/gig dialogue changed based on Johnny and V's relationship, the same way it does in the quests with kerry and in the endings/embers. Like if he do a gig with 0 affection, he may not show up or be a dick. But if you do that same gig with 70% he for sure shows and is more concerned for V. Like just that little level of consistency. Which i know it'd require more time and getting keanu back in the booth but, it'd have been nice.
Ive talked at length before about how I wish Johnny faced some more consequences for being a dickhead, so I wont bore anyone with more of that.
As far as the Rogue stuff you mentioned, that kind of goes into my issue of wishing we'd seen more. Cause V is suppose to have Johnny's memories lurking around their skull but we only see 2 memories??? Rogue says at the date: "lets go back in time before i knew what a bastard you were" there was a time when he was at least on some level decent. I refuse to believe he managed to convince Rogue and Alt to date him, being an asshole out the gate. There had to have been softer moments. But we the player dont get to see them. We only see the worst of Johnny in the past, despite supposedly having all his memories as V.
Like Johnny who cheated on Rogue and the Johnny who was soft with her and called her by her real name: very much can be the same guy and both having happened. Johnny getting attached and that scaring him so be does dumb shit and destroys everything. Johnny having genuine feelings but being unwilling to embrace them fully. Johnny giving breadcrumbs of affection to keep people around then snapping and doing something devastating when he worries they've gotten too close. Then regret it and give another breadcrumb of affection because he does feel that affection, he cares, but hes fucked in the head. Intentionally or not, stringing the people who care about him along. He's whiplash and a whirlwind. And that all makes sense and fits his in video game character to me, because hes meant to be a toxic asshole who really does care but has to get his shit together big time. But we dont see the nicer moments enough, we dont see what drew Rogue, Kerry, and Alt into his life. We dont see enough of those moments in my opinion. The closest is, when alt dies, if you choose the nice goodbye to kerry, and the way he tried to smooth things over with alt in the alley way before she was kidnapped, oh and the little hand hold. You get really brief moments but you mostly just see the assholery. It would have been nice to see how he met the people who mattered to him, seen more of his good, more of that charisma he claimed to have. In general, I would have liked more exploration of his character and his relationships
