Nico di Angelo moments I don’t think we talk about enough
- during the son of Neptune, Hazel stood up for Percy and vouched for him to join the legion; Nico then beams at her, “Good job, sis! That took guts.”
- Nico’s active gay panic during like the entire first half of Son of Neptune where he keeps actively deflecting Percy’s questions and stressing about it to Hazel
- also during SoN (clearly an underrated book for Nico) there’s this one moment where there’s all these ghosts in the room and they’re all arguing and he LITERALLY just puts a finger to his mouth and they all go silent like
- Mark of Athena, at the very end when Nico was rescued he looks Percy in the eye and tells him, “Percy, they pulled me into the pit. The things I saw…” and his voice broke, and I think that the rawness in that moment despite the really messed up relationship they had but Nico was so traumatized that he still displayed his full emotion towards Percy
- house of Hades Nico constantly just being a punching bag.. I mean he literally got thrown around so much in that damn book for no reason 😭😭
-at the end of HoH also, during the final battle, Nico cheers at some point and screams, “let’s turn this tide!” And I just think. That’s very special
-BoO Nico had tons of great moments but let’s just keep reminding ourselves of the “we had one home, now we have two,” moment
- something something the hidden oracle during the final battle with that massive giant thing and the fact that if you step back and look at it, you kinda realize that Nico was the strongest pillar the camp had at that point and that it was when he was taken out of commission that the battle turned dire
- tower of Nero, also during the final battle 😭Apollo wasn’t able to reach Nero, so he screamed, “Nico!” AND nico LITERALLY jumps 10 feet in the air and brings his sword down like some kind of shonen protagonist and tries to CLEAVE NERO IN HALF 😭 only to get tossed away like a puppy
- tsats Nico was kinda ooc but one thing that did feel so in character and funny was that he was revealed to be so smart and perceptive about romance to the point he was literally predicting Will’s confession to him

"Without a trace."
• Firefly , Aventurine , Misha , Robin
A/N: Felt quirky soo... reader dying alone arc
Warnings: reader actually dying like fr and angst ?? idk.. also ooc or something... i'll just put it in case
Tumblr media
Well..! So you were caught by death at an unexpected moment, but..
Not a single person in Penacony knew you were gone?
-
Your body feeling heavy and your vision becoming blurry, you held tightly onto the last string of consciousness you had left, thinking about the person you cared the most..
Firefly had offered to take you around the plaza to play different games, try different pastries, watch the beautiful scenery from her secret hideout until by each other's side like a little 'date'..
Oh, how she eagerly waits for you as people come and go by her with the happy feelings she hopes to share with you, not even knowing you're gone.
Adventurine had made a bet with you, and the loser of the game has to take the other to an expensive, and luxurious restaurant. He joked that it would be a romantic moment between the two of you and watched as you brushed him off and accepted the deal.
Oh, how disappointed he felt when he never received a single message, thinking that you had backed out without telling him as he walked away from your meeting spot, unaware that you're even gone.
Misha had accepted your offer of helping around the Reverie out of sympathy, you watched as his expression turned from a confused to a happy, and appreciative one. He felt grateful that you would keep him company and have time to catch up.
Oh, how deeply sad he felt as he never saw you walk through the hotel entrance, thinking you had abandoned your promise. He'd overthink that you were gone.
Robin had given you a free ticket to her next concert, giving you a sweet smile and telling you to keep it a secret from her fans, to which you gave into and accepted the invitation. She gave you a hug before parting ways to get ready and make herself presentable mostly for you.
Oh, how hurt she felt when she was unable to find you within the crowd, quickly scurrying down after her performance to ask her fans, her staff members, and even her brother for your whereabouts. How heartbroken she'd be to find out you were gone.
And oh, how you wished that you could have seen them for one last time with tears in your eyes, as you apologize that you two may not meet ever again.
-
Literally chilling in my chair w food and water casually writing random angst I thought would be cool rn

Go Eunhyuk x reader ꕥ General bf headcanons ꕥ
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This wasn't a request, just an idea that crossed my mind. As I do it, I realize that we all need Eunhyuk. So if you're not Eunhyuk, there's no need to introduce yourself to me.
No warning, just a lot of fluff and broken English
Happy reading !
Tumblr media
He was very confused when he realized his feelings for you. Despite his cold attitude, Eunhyuk is someone who thinks a lot.
He ended up confessing his feelings without really doing so. He showed clear signs that he had fallen in love - apparently obvious to everyone except you.
Eventually, he told you directly in an unexpected moment. You were studying, and he couldn't help but watch all the little quirky things you did without realizing it, which he loves, and then he blurted out "I love you".
It was spontaneous, and he didn't even realize it. He became a blushing mess, hiding his face with the back of his hand and looking away.
On your side, it wasn't any better. It took a few good seconds for you to realize what he had just said to you.
You were even more red than him, and you had been waiting for this moment for so long (you didn't think his feelings were mutual, so you at least wanted to stay friends).
After the confession, your relationship didn't change much because without realizing it, you were already in a pre-couple stage.
The only thing that was new for both of you was the more intimate part of your relationship.
In public, he's not a fan of PDA, but he will always touch you in one way or another, by brushing against you when you pass by, holding hands under the table, stealing a kiss when no one is looking - these are small gestures that mean a lot to him.
He loves to see you blush or be flustered when this happens and you try to act like you can handle it - he sees through you like an open book.
But in private, it's a different story. He always has his arms around you.
He's definitely he big spoon, even though he secretly loves it when his s/o takes care of him in their arms.
He loves to kiss you unexpectedly, even in private, but the difference is that he takes his time. He loves to feel close to you, and this poor boy is hungry for your love.
If you stroke his hair while his head rests on your lap, he'll melt on the spot and might even fall asleep.
Another thing he'll never admit is that he loves feeling intimate and connected with you. In those moments, he clears his mind, and nothing else matters.
One of his love languages, in addition to the small meaningful gestures and touches, is spending quality time together.
He'll always take you on spontaneous or planned dates, as long as you're together, he's winning.
He's not a big fan of pet names, but in private, he likes to call you "Babe". Overly sweet names are not really his thing.
However, he doesn't mind if you call him by cute nicknames in private. In fact, he loves it.
He's very protective of you, and he'll always keep an eye on you in situations where you're around a group of people.
He's a huge moral support and always on your side.
But if he thinks there's a situation where you acted wrongly, he'll tell you, but only in private. (capable man u.u)
He always makes you feel special and doesn't hesitate to show you that you're his priority.
Eunhyuk doesn't make a big deal out of his personal feelings, even though they are important to him, but with you, he lets his guard down.
He has told you about his childhood and stories about his father and mother.
He confides in you because he trusts you, and you should never break that trust because it's hard to earn.
He appreciates that you are a great support for him, even though he acts like everything is fine. But you know him as well as he knows you, and you know that he downplays his situation, so you'll be there for him no matter what he says because you can read it in his eyes.
You didn't really need words to understand each other.
Your ability to read each other's emotions and thoughts without having to express them explicitly is an indication of the deep bond and connection you share.
It's a testament to the trust and understanding you have built over time, and it's one of the things that makes your relationship special and strong
He always has small gestures for you, but he'll act like they're not a big deal.
For example, if you fell asleep in class due to lack of sleep, he'll go buy you an energy drink during the break and place it on your desk because "you look pitiful".
Or if they serve your favorite dessert in the cafeteria, he'll give you his portion because he "isn't hungry anymore".
Or if you forgot to do your homework, he'll never copy it as quickly as he does for you.
And if you mentioned a pair of shoes the other day, it'll be your next gift.
He'll always wait for you to finish what you're doing, and he'll never leave you alone or hanging.
These are all small things that he does for you, but they show how much he cares and how attentive he is to your needs.
He likes to walk you home after class or every date, you'll never have to walk alone.
He's very observant and listens to everything you say, but he acts like he's not really interested - you know he's actively listening.
HE'S JEALOUS! He has a hard time with his own character trait, he hates being jealous.
If he sees you talking to another guy, he won't make a big deal out of it and will let it go, even though he'll feel - against his will - a twinge of jealousy.
However, if he sees you uncomfortable or if the other guy is too insistent, he'll simply come from behind and wrap his arms around you as if nothing is wrong. "Everything okay here?" he won't wait for an answer, and he'll simply wait for the guy to get the message and leave - especially with the deadly glare he gives him.
He cherishes every little thing you give him, even if it's a ridiculous trinket or a simple lollipop.
You have matching keychains, and sometimes you like to match your shoes or clothes.
You have a piece of jewelry in common, a necklace with the first letter of each other's name.
He spoils you a lot, so if you want to invite him or pay for one of your dates, you'll have to be cunning because he's always the quickest to pay.
He loves to make his s/o happy.
He's grateful to be in a healthy relationship with you, and he hopes it will last a very long time (until death do you part...?).
In essence, Eunhyuk is a caring boyfriend who knows how to listen to you, protect you, and be a moral support.
He always encourages you in your projects (yes, he's perfect).
With time, you've learned to read between the lines in his seemingly cold attitude. He loves you, but sometimes he just doesn't know how to express it - but you know it.
You probably fell in love first, but he definitely fell harder.
Thank you for reading ღ Do you want more ?

What's the deal with fanon Tim bc I read some comics with Tim and I've seen him in cartoons but all I see people talk about is "haha coffee addicted nerd who doesn't sleep!" and that just seems weird and wrong. Like my view of Tim has always been "he's a nice and extremely smart guy who sometimes pushes things a bit too far and maybe a bit set in his own ways/Batman's ways" but now I'm not even sure of that because I really haven't read THAT much (mostly seen him in other series) lol
No you're right!! Anon you're so right!!!
What the heck is up with fanon Tim Drake??
The thing about him not sleeping is actually true though
Tumblr media
Detective Comics (2016) Issue #937
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Batman: Contagion Issue #11
(I agree with Catwoman, Tim is so cute)
So I understand where the coffee addiction in fanon comes from but Tim's not actually addicted to coffee in the comics. I actually don't recall him mentioning coffee at all. At some point he might have but if he did, then those instances are so little in the grand scheme of things it might as well be called negligible if it's trying to be called an addiction.
But more importantly, Tim is so much more than that!! My favorite Tim Drake aspect of him is how sassy and sarcastic he is, it makes him so endearing!!
UGH NO ONE APPRECIATES HOW MUCH OF A LITTLE SHIT HE IS!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Robin (1993) Issue #58
CMON CMON CMON LETS TALK MORE ABOUT THIS!!
Tim, you little shit, you know exactly what they say - cause you did it!!
HIS SELF-SATISFIED SMILE!!!
In all honesty I find Tim the funniest of the entire batfamily to read because he's so-he's so wholesomely quirky in a mean way. That's such as awkward way to describe it but reading his comics, you just can't get enough of them because he's just too funny!
At one point he has a massive fever and stuck underground with a bunch of weird kids and one of the girls is just like "please get better, please get some rest!" as she's wiping away his sweat and Tim has like no breath or energy at this point. But with the last remains of will power, he uses his breath to push one last question between lips.
Tumblr media
Robin (1993) Issue #70
And as the audience waits in baited anticipation we get this-
Tumblr media
Robin (1993) Issue #70
It's actually a very valid question and shows his detective thinking and yada yada yada but THE COMEDIC GOLD OF HIS TIMING!!
Like his situation and his question there's a massive gap that's almost incomprehensible about it all which is why it's so fantastic!!
The way he sasses batman is top 5 fav moments with him.
Tumblr media
Azrael: Agent of the Bat Issue #91
Thanks @paladin-of-nerd-fandom65 for finding it again <33
But Tim overall is just like a normal kid. He's what authors tried to do with Stephanie but failed. They were able to make him relatable to the audience because the way he acts, it's so quirky but funny. Yes, he's a boy detective genius but he likes messing with people, he likes solving crime, he likes hanging out with his big brother, he asks for relationship advice, he can get insecure, he can get upset without acting cold, he gets tired, he gets anxious, he's determined, and he's super dorky.
Tumblr media
Robin (1993) Issue #25
Like really dorky.
But what I think really defines him is this panel
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Robin (1993) Issue #48
This scene is probably what explains him best. Tim is someone who ponders a lot. He thinks constantly all the time whether it's about cases or his personal life, he just goes over the choices he makes constantly because he's just soul-searching alot.
He always means well even if he's awkward about it and he's just a diverse personality overall. The fanon interpretation of his character doesn't really do him any justice because it doesn't address how funny he is or confused or just a likeable, real person in general.

FINALLY
Thoughts on episode 2x01!
I'm so making a crack recap out of this. Idk if it's going to be this week, but I may have to skip all the other episodes up to this point XD
Ok for those of you who don't know, the bullet-in-butt date (which I can finally mention openly as it's not manga spoiler anymore!) was the only manga chapter that hadn't been adapted that I read from very early on, way before I decided to stay anime-only so I knew everything about it. So I expected the beginning. I actually like that we don't see Yor do her slaughter at that place. She's like a ghost, or a legend, as the short-lived survivor calls her.
Tumblr media
Look at her! So cute, covered in the blood of her victims 😌
I do have to say, I was surprised by the amount of blood they showed. I think they actually put the violence up a notch in comparison to the previous season, bringing it much closer to the manga levels of violence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's also a bold choice to like, actually open the season with this. It's serious business and I appreciate that. I'm not too big on violence but I also don't like it when it's "purified" or whatever. We're watching a show where two of the main characters kill people left and right. Blood is a prerequisite at this point.
Anyway! GRANDE upgrade on the animation, oh my god! It's all in the little movements and additional "swerves" of the characters' forms. I don't have the time to make a gif now showing that but it's obvious they took the money they made the previous year and put a lot of it on animation budget! Love it!
Aaaaaaaand new music! Most of the new stuff is quirky and funny, perfect for Anya and Franky's shenanigans :D Looking forward to see what new pieces we'll get with this season!
I had some frail hope they would have titled the episode "Date with a Bullet in the Butt". Can you imagine. We were robbed. Robbed!
Tumblr media
Ever since I read that chapter I went like, Yor says she treated the wound... does that mean she got the bullet out? Or is she actually walking with the bullet in her buttcheek all this time? I mean... it is called the "bullet-in-butt date" after all...
The way all of this could have been solved by Yor going like "I tripped down the stairs and fell on my butt and now it hurts to walk and sit". But then we wouldn't have this! It's the funny miscommunication that makes them, really <3
The way Anya worries about her! I felt a little sad for her because this is the first time she sees her mama so beaten down by a job, I think?
One of the ways you see the upgraded animation: the way Yor trembles as she straightens up after reassuring Anya, and then the dizzy walk to her room as she goes to rest. Awesome.
Yor just walks it off and Anya is like "Mama is actually immortal, wow" meanwhile Loid is losing his absolute shit
Tumblr media
"WIFE IS SAD. THE WORLD IS ENDING. I SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED HER TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING. I AM A HORRIBLE HUSBAND."
Tumblr media
Oh, I adore the different colouring on the memory scene. I also love how the gossip trio just falls on Yor the moment she slips out that oh no they don't do all the conventional couple things!!
Tumblr media
Dude is genuinely confused. BestTM SpyTM of WestalisTM, flabbergasted by a woman with social skills in the negatives.
It was eight in the morning. On a weekend. Yor was way too excited for the date she ran to get ready and they were out all day. My god. When am I gonna get my learning date with my emotionally constipated fake husbando
Tumblr media
Twilight has a smug grin on his face as Franky accepts the cheque as payment to do chores. I love that addition!
As I love this
Tumblr media
Franky grabbing Anya's hand and waving to them for her. They really knew how to handle an already funny chapter and use animation to add more humor to it!
Look at him, starting off so smug but then
Tumblr media
He's truly an intelligence agent, trying to work with the information he has on hand. Since he doesn't have the information that Yor is injured, his plans are doomed to fail.
The way Franky is down with everything crazy Anya proposes. I love that duo.
I also liked the way they allowed Bond to sit this episode out, since that manga chapter takes place before the Doggy Crisis arc and Bond is not yet part of the family. I do have some thoughts about the timing of this episode but I'll get to that later.
Tumblr media
And here we have the angst punch in the gut, as others talked about it, it's a point in Twilight's character to not see anything fun about the spy work that it's not even fun to play spy. Since one of the moments adding to that is an anime only scene (from the part where Anya makes secret codes) and the dialogue here is just slightly different from the same scene in the manga, it looks like it's a deliberate choice to make anime Loid more sensitive about this specific thing. Interesting!
I gotta say, it would be so easy to objectify Yor and her body with where her wound was. But even though they showed her in a pants-tight-enough-to-hurt-your-butt-wound situation, it was still pretty clear what the focus was. I really appreciate that.
Yor says no to the tight pants and Loid apologizes??? Why wasn't that in the translated version of the manga??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like here especially, with the face they gave him and the way Eguchi delivered that line it was pretty clear that Yor's reaction made Loid feel like he crossed a line with what he told her. What happened in the manga translation???
Tumblr media
VERY interesting picture choice for the movie poster! Ostania gots propaganda to do, after all!
I love how Anya fell asleep during the film while Franky cried his eyes out. Poor sap XD
And LMAO Anya seeing her parents leaving from the spa and trying to get Franky to move but he's too busy getting a massage! And then some added wackiness with Yor being so tense from her wound that she made a murder glare enough to scare a bear!
And Loid is still like DAFUQ AM I DOING WRONG
Tumblr media
I like though, that he is not blaming Yor at all. He doesn't consider her irrational or ungrateful for the date, he just sees it as him not having done enough research... and in actual reality, he doesn't have all the data needed, specifically the whole "bullet-in-butt" thing. I'm sure he would have planned differently had he known that XD
Tumblr media
Poor Franky XD at least he's finding ways to vent XD
The way they animated Yor's reluctance to sit was great, lol. I'm not sure it was clear she was "hover-sitting" but it was funny in any case.
I loved the tension when we saw the surviving Red Circus member! It was handled so well dropped right in the middle of a funny episode.
Tumblr media
This had no right being this funny. But also. Anya is imagining a "default" kind of guy because even though she's reading the guy's mind she doesn't know how he looks like, so she's just making up a face to play out her imagination. Great detail from the manga already.
Anya imagines Loid saying he'll abandon her if he finds out about Yor being an assassin. That's another angsty punch in the gut but also for another post probably XD
The timing here feels a little weird. This chapter was supposedly long ago, when the family was still getting used to living together. Franky sees Anya worried and goes like "Even though they're a fake family, she worries so much?" and seeing that in the anime, practically two episodes before this one he went like "Hey do you love your dad and mom" and she said she does... idk maybe in the adaptation process some things could be left out so that they can make more sense.
How did neither Yor nor Loid suspect something wrong with the suddenly very thick and muddy cocktail she was offered?
Once again, upgraded animation as Yor drinks the pufferfish poison! I love it! Hopefully it'll keep being that good for the rest of the season :D
I remember the tension I felt when I first read the manga in that moment. I was like oh no! And then I was Anya
Tumblr media
Gremlin Anya is back and I love it
Anya goes ahead and Home-Alones too close to the sun and fucking makes a bomb. That's a whole other level. You really don't want this girl turning evil, she'll take over the world XD
Tumblr media
She should have seen her entrance as Thorn Princess' ally! She was epic!
There was some violence censorship there, as the bad guy in the manga is shown a little burned and bleeding after the explosion, but in the anime he's just... ruffled or whatever.
Tumblr media
Idk they probably decided it would be too much to show that a child caused such violence XD
So does Loid go on thinking that Yor was in a super bad mood and then everything went away as soon as she downed a glass of cocktail? I also just realized she just went bottoms up on it, lol.
The episode was great and the date was funny and cute at the end. But.
Tumblr media
GIVE ME BLUSHING LOID YOU COWARDS. SHOW ME THAT BLUSH. YOU GAVE US "HIS SMILE HIDES A HINT OF REAL EMOTION" YOU CAN AFFORD GIVING US A BLUSH. *screams* *eats drywall*
The date ends well and with fun! Then the monster wakes up again the next day.
Tumblr media
Loid's got a lot to learn. Who knew humans can be complicated!
Overall, a great introduction to the second season! I'm happy we got the bullet-in-butt date and I'm so excited to venture into new stuff that I know next to nothing about :D

Jubilee || Stiles Stilinski x Reader
Summary: You find moments of clarity throughout your boyfriend's birthday. Words: 1.9k Warnings: totally added tay swift references - not really a warning (: Notes: despite the photo used in the banner, the reader is non-gender specific, non-race specific, etc.
Tumblr media
April 8th, 1995 - Happy Birthday Stiles Stilinski ・❥・
You weren't sure what it was, exactly - maybe it was simply just how his eyes would widen with excitement, a childhood gleam that twinkled so exuberantly as he smiled. Or, it could be how his body jumped with so much positive energy, the balls of his feet built with springs as he bounded around with pure enthusiasm. Perhaps, it was really the way in which he couldn't stop talking, in absolute Stiles fashion, his mind and mouth running with stories and ideas and honest happiness. Selfishly, you would like to say that it was when he encased his body around yours and provided loving kisses with every 'thank you' during his never-ending expression of gratitude. Whatever it was, it made this time of year your favourite of them all. Nothing could beat celebrating your boyfriend's birthday.
His twenty-ninth year started with a tender peck - lips pressed to his cheek as they covered a freckled canvas, his skin warm as it remained settled under the morning sun that filtered through the blinds. It twitched from such a delicate sentiment and was followed by lashes dancing as the boy began to wake. He was so beautiful, and it prompted your heart to clutch in absolute awe.
His arm was heavy as it remained slung over your waist, despite pulling you closer to his chest in oblivious movements from his still-slumbered state. He hummed lightly against the shell of your ear, a sound of acknowledgement, wordless contentedness to the complacency you helped him feel. It made you kiss him again on the upturn of his nose and he groaned as it scrunched.
"Hi." You whispered so quietly, his caramel toned eyes fluttering once again as they tried to adjust to the morning light. Stiles smiled at you, completely loving with just a simple glance. A hum pushed past your lips, "Good Morning, handsome."
"It is now." He replied, so smooth, so swift. The truth embedded in such little words and encapsulated with sleepy raspiness.
Noses brushed as you giggled under your breath, your thumb rubbing gently under his eye, "And Happy Birthday."
He leaned into your touch as if it were moulded to fit his face, love exuberating from his features with ease, "Thank you, baby."
Tumblr media
It was amusing to watch as Stiles shovelled his face with pancakes - the breakfast dish easily branded as his favourite, and seen quite evidently as he moaned loudly in satisfaction. The plate was stacked high and you knew that the sugar rush could potentially be catastrophic, but it was his day, and he deserved everything he desired.
An incredulous look was etched deeply into the furrowed brows and confused lift of Noah Stilinski's lips as he watched his son across the table. The coffee mug in his hand was teetering on the edge of lukewarm by now, but he couldn't tear his focus away. You'd think that after twenty-nine years, the man would be somewhat immune to the quirkiness of his son. Noah's eyes glanced briefly around your small kitchen space - an area where you and Stiles spent much of your time since you moved in together. He had always admired the varied elements representing you both and how easy it was for your lives to merge. It was as if soulmates were united, and this is how your beings were destined to be intertwined.
"You spoil him." Noah's deep voice broke through the silent chuckle you expelled toward your boyfriend, eyes managing to break free as they looked to the man beside you. Appreciation filled the small smile he shone your way and you couldn't help but release an elated exhale, your head nodding in agreement.
"I know." Your reply was simple but was spoken with the utmost adoration for Stiles, observing as a childish spark embodied him with joyousness; a light that took a while to finally settle within his heart after years of trepidation and great wars. A sigh pushed past your lips, "But he deserves it, all of it, after everything he's been through."
And you would give him the world on a silver platter if you could, but you knew that all Stiles truly wanted was to be content. He craved silly grown-up routines and times when he could relax without the threat of worry. He wanted to relive mundane moments from his teenage years that were short-lived due to monsters that lurked in the shadows. He yearned for endearment and safety and just simply knowing that you would be there every morning and night, curled up in his arms, loving him unconditionally. Stiles never asked for a lot, so days like today were ones you strived to make special. Because he deserved special, every last speck of it.
Noah snickered to himself, pride filling his chest as he looked between yourself and Stiles. "He deserves you most, ya know." His words struck a chord - one with melodic tunes, strummed hard enough to get your heart beating fast as a red blush pinched at your nose and cheeks. You reached across and placed a hand over his, your eyes bright as you looked at the older Stilinski.
"Thank you." That was all you ever wanted.
Tumblr media
Stiles could work a room, especially when the buzz was centered around him. He had bounced across your living room several times by now, excitement filling his veins as he couldn't stop talking to the friends and family who came to see him for his birthday. You were standing off to the side, half listening as Scott was making conversation about his week at the Clinic - your focus was mostly on Stiles, admiring the way he was utilising his over-energetic nature and definite possible sugar hype from his breakfast. He had never looked happier as words flowed from him, a bottle of beer clutched between the fingers of his right hand as his left arm hung jovially over Liam's shoulders in deep narration.
"You're not listening, are you?" Scott spoke up, amused as his arms crossed over his chest and he leaned back casually against the wall.
"Sorry, Scotty." You offered a smile, apologetic tones seeping through and your friend couldn't help but shake his head as he returned your smile amiably. You took a sip of your own drink, making sure to turn your body slightly, attempting to provide full attention even though your mind still wandered whenever you heard your boyfriend's laugh. "I was, I just got a little distracted --"
" -- It's all good." He intercepted your explanation, a look of knowing putting you at ease. He knew well the effect that you and Stiles had on each other, for the most part, and how you were both connected so seamlessly by an invisible string that without fail drew you back to one another. It only made sense that a part of your focus would always be on him. "But kudos on the party. You definitely decked the place out, and Stiles seems to definitely be enjoying himself."
You hummed, eyes picking up the array of decorations that you so carefully placed only a couple of hours ago. "You know more than anyone that I'd do anything to just see him happy. After all, today is Stiles Day and honestly..." You trailed off, features already beginning to scrunch up as joviality shaped your words, "I think I like it more than Christmas."
You laughed, and Scott joined you. He agreed wholeheartedly as his hand splayed over his chest, head nodding and lopsided smile growing by the second.
It wasn't too long after when the crowd gathered around your dining table with Stiles perching at the head as he sat tall. The lights were turned off and the room became swallowed by darkness - building anticipation, creating an atmosphere of smiles and eagerness for the theatrics to follow. It was the sound of hissing that made ears perk and eyes swiftly track the source as it entered from the kitchen. You had gentle hands as his cake remained in your hold; silhouettes sitting against the walls from shoots of sparking fire that sat atop his cake. His gaze grew large, and the normal caramel tone of his eyes shifted to a glowing golden hue from the reflecting sparklers.
You placed the cake in front of Stiles before planting a tender kiss against the apple of his grinning cheek, your nose nuzzling into his favourite spot under his ear, "Happy Birthday, my handsome man."
The crowd began to sing, mismatched harmonies growing louder in the small space of your apartment. It was hasty as Stiles' large hands gripped at your waist, your body falling toward his own before he sat you in his lap. Legs dangled over his knees and it made you giggle against the curve of his shoulder. Stiles pecked your template before replicating your nuzzle, his nose dragging against your hairline, "I love you."
You watched as the sparklers danced patterns across his affectionate expression, completely mesmerised by him and the fortune you felt, before you smiled up at him, "I love you too. Now blow out those candles!"
Tumblr media
It wasn't much different from your usual Monday night; the television played some reruns of comedies from the 90's, every light in the room was turned off except the dingy floor lamp beside the couch, and the coffee table was graced by Chinese takeout containers and leftover plates of birthday cake. Stiles slumped back against the soft cushions with his feet perched upon the table, socks cladding his feet as they moved in tune with the opening credits of an old sitcom. He was in complete comfort, only made better by your frame as it was situated under his arm with your head pressed to his chest and hands curled in the material of his t-shirt. His touch was absentmindedly dragging up and down your side with dancing fingers, the sentiment just barely felt as the movements remained delicate and featherlike.
"Today was amazing." He said so nonchalantly, voice hardly competing with the television as the sound remained low.
You burrowed yourself closer to him, tiredness beginning to takeover, "I'm glad."
Stiles grinned lazily, his lips puckered before pressing kisses down the expanse of your cheek as his nose trailed after them, "But this?Right now... full of cake and chow mein, us cuddling and watching Friends reruns... this is my favourite part. Without a doubt."
"But we do this practically every night." You mused, voice laced with humor and confusion before gently pulling away from him. Your brow was raised, but the puzzled expression across your features was captured with a smile.
"Yeah, we do, but... just knowing how much effort you put into making today the best birthday, it just makes it all mean so much more."
Your heart pattered, a rush of endearment and affection. It was loud and fast in your chest, but one would never have guessed from the quiet squeak of your voice that followed, "I only ever want the best for you."
"And all I ever want is you. Period."
The light from the television casted a blue glow as you leant forward, your arms encasing themselves around Stiles' neck as thighs straddled his own. The programme was long forgotten, and his face settled against your shoulder. You could feel him breathe you in as his own arms wrapped around to your back, his large splayed hands pushing your body further against him.
You kissed the crown of his head, fingers gentle as they tangled themselves in the loose locks of his hair, "Happy Birthday, Stiles."

Stuffed toy approval 🧸
Tumblr media
Elijah entered Y/n's room, expecting a cozy movie night, but his eyes widened as he took in the sight of her bed covered in a multitude of stuffed toys. Y/n, nervous about his reaction, bit her lip, awaiting his response.
"Elijah, I hope you don't mind," Y/n stammered, gesturing to the plush army that occupied her bed.
Elijah's eyebrows shot up, a mix of surprise and amusement playing on his face. "Well, this is unexpected," he chuckled. "Are they all joining us for the movie?"
Y/n sighed in relief, "I'm sorry. I know it's a bit much. I just find them comforting."
Elijah grinned, "No need to apologize. It's just a little unexpected. But hey, they can have the best seats in the house." He plopped down on the bed, making space among the stuffed companions.
As the movie started, Y/n couldn't help but steal glances at Elijah, wondering if he was genuinely okay with this quirky setup. To her delight, he seemed to embrace the unique movie night, occasionally grabbing one of the stuffed toys and playfully commenting on the film as if it were one of them.
"You know," Elijah teased, holding up a stuffed bunny, "I think Mr. Flopsy here has a better grasp of the plot than I do."
Y/n laughed, feeling the tension melt away. Soon, the room echoed with shared laughter and banter, the stuffed toys becoming unexpected participants in their movie night.
As the night progressed, Elijah even found himself naming some of the toys, creating a whole fictional world for them. Y/n watched in awe as he animatedly weaved stories about each plush companion, turning a seemingly odd situation into a memorable and entertaining night.
"Meet Sir Quackington, the adventurous duck, and Lady Fluffington, the wise rabbit," Elijah declared, holding up two particularly fluffy toys.
Y/n couldn't help but giggle at his creativity. "I never knew you had such a talent for storytelling, especially with stuffed animals."
Elijah smirked, "Well, you learn something new every day, don't you?"
They continued the movie night, with Elijah's storytelling evolving into an improvised comedy act. Y/n found herself appreciating the unexpected turn of events, realizing that Elijah's acceptance of her quirks made him even more endearing.
As the credits rolled, Elijah stretched out on the bed, surrounded by a plush audience. "That was certainly a unique experience," he admitted.
Y/n blushed, "I'm glad you didn't mind. I know it's a bit strange."
Elijah turned to her, his eyes softening, "Y/n, everyone has their quirks. Yours just happen to involve a lot of stuffed animals. But I like it. It makes you, well, you."
Her heart warmed at his words, and she couldn't help but lean in for a sweet kiss. Elijah responded with a smile, and for a moment, they just enjoyed the quiet intimacy.
The stuffed animals, once a potential source of anxiety for Y/n, now served as a symbol of acceptance and understanding. Elijah had effortlessly turned an unconventional situation into a night filled with laughter, bonding, and unexpected joy.
"I guess Mr. Flopsy and friends are officially part of the movie night crew," Elijah declared, playfully arranging the stuffed toys in a circle.
Y/n laughed, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
As they settled into the comfort of the plush-filled bed, Y/n couldn't help but reflect on the unpredictability of life and love. Sometimes, it took a room full of stuffed animals to reveal the depth of connection between two people.
In the end, Elijah embraced the quirks that made Y/n unique, turning an ordinary movie night into a memory they both cherished. And as they drifted off to sleep, surrounded by a fuzzy army of stuffed companions, they knew that their love could weather any unexpected turns.

my ambiverted ahh couldn't help myself huhu, so imagine:
the atsv babes with an ambiverted partner
miles probably would have thought you were introverted ngl, you two would have gotten close for your shared love of art, whether you create it or just admire it. he'd've thought you would appreciate it if he did the first move for you because you came off as a little reserved to him, but nah, when he got to know you more, he learned you had a more outgoing and sociable side to you--he was the extra push you needed to get out there. though occasionally, you would like some time alone; miles wholly respects that. he wouldn't force you to talk if you didn't want to, he loves talking to you and hearing you speak, even if you would sometimes prefer to be on your own or with others. i think miles' favorite thing to do with you would be to just draw together, or teach you how to draw if you didn't know how. he loves it when you're so focused on something, when you're in your element; you look so at peace, so happy with what you're doing that he wants to capture that moment forever, keep you happy forever.
"if you need to talk to me or ramble or for me to leave you be for alil while, i gotchu ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )"
"ty, i love you : ) also did you know (goes on rambling for hours on end while miles smiles at every message you send his way thinking how cute you are)"
gwen would've met you when you seemed extroverted. you'd probably have met when the mary janes had a gig near your area, and you in your extroverted bout somehow had the courage to tell her how awesome she was on the drums. you'd go on and on about how much she carried the performance, and you joked how you wished you could be everywhere all at once so you could watch her play. it warmed her heart, really. when she told you she doesn't do friends anymore, which was a lot for her to say honestly, poor girl, you'd've smiled at her and told her you'd wait for the day she's ready to make new friends, hoping you'll be one of her very first new friends you and miles would get along for that fr. now i don't think gwen would do very well with small talk, so you being an ambivert and knowing how that feels, you adjust to what she's comfortable with and talk to her about things she likes, too. she loves when you guys are just hanging out together, not really talking or doing anything, just being next to each other or in the same room, enjoying being in each other's presence; because, if anything, gwen loves the quiet when you're around--it gives her a break from all the chaos in her life and makes her remember there are people who care about her just as much as she cares about them.
"i know you said you don't do friends anymore... but i'm really glad you never hesitated to be mine the moment you were feeling like things can get better from here."
"that's because of you, my... ray of sunshine. was that too cheesy? sorry, i just, you really brighten up my life."
now pav would bare with both sides of you, honestly. he's bright, bubbly, and extroverted; but he knows when to back off and let you breathe for a bit. he'd encourage you to talk to others when you're feeling anxious, but he wouldn't force you to, of course. he'd do things for you when you feel like wanting to be on your own for a bit because he doesn't want to bother you. you'd've been his classmate at school, and at first, you found him... kinda quirky, but he was super cute, you couldn't deny it. you felt like he outshined you sometimes, so you kinda hid in your shell for the first few days of knowing him. but when pav noticed how quiet you were, he'd tell you not to be scared of him or anything, and you weren't! you were honestly just feeling a little worn out from talking to people for a bit, he did that mainly for you, and he always did it with your best interests in mind. but when it's just you two together, boy, you were both chaotic and bright. your extroverted side was kind of only really known to him, and he felt so freaking lucky to be that sole person who knew that other side of you. but he'd encourage you to get out there, too, and he'd help you every step of the way if you wanted him to.
"if you want to make new friends, go for it! i've already seen how amazing you are when it's just us two, everybody would love you as you are now and with that chaotic side of you."
"alright, just don't outshine me, pretty boy, i'm playing the chaotic one today."
hobie would actually be really fond of you, he likes having an explosive firecracker yet calm and unshakeable partner all at once. he doesn't believe in consistency, and if you didn't really have a consistent side to you wanting to talk to people or wanting to be on your own for a bit, hobie would be more intrigued with you. he loves that you have a heart for nearly everything, being with people, being alone--wanting to make friends, wanting to focus on yourself. he loves how thoughtful you can be, as well. you two would've probably met when hobie would be doing his rounds as spider man, and he caught you defacing a wall. he'd check it out, and instead of reprimanding you, he'd've complimented your work since it commented well on your stance on how society was so... chaotic. he liked you a whole lot after that, and his initial impression of you was someone who was kind of a lone wolf, someone who spoke up for their freedom without relying on other people--but lo and behold, you were someone who spoke up for their freedom, but loved making friends and going to parties, too, sometimes. he loved how nuanced you were, how every day, he finds something new about you. he really wants to make you feel comfortable around him, so every time, he asks if you're okay with whatever you two would plan to do, because he understands what it's like to be misunderstood. he just wants you to be free to be happy and to express yourself, never uncomfortable about being who you are, especially when you were with him.
"you're so inconsistent, so chaotic, so thoughtful, you're... you're a keeper."
"are you gonna be consistent and want to love just me, hobart? that's sweet of you, love."

I was thinking maybe Jack and sweetheart reader are at some event and some random influencer been tryna start beef with reader on the internet. Reader doesn’t know her and hasn’t responded because it’s not her character. Jack would be so protective. 💕
Protective Jack
Trigger warning: mentions of body shaming
Tumblr media
“I’ve never met the girl, she seems nice...but I just don’t feel like she’s a good role model”
Hannah Walton, who was the current beloved social media personality, mostly known for her quirky dances on Tik Tok, was being interviewed in the Fresh & Fit podcast.
“How is that?”
“I just…you know, anorexia is a dangerous thing and I think it is disgusting for someone to promote that as the ideal body standard. I’m sorry but looking like a skeleton is not cute”
The interviewer giggled at her response.
Then she quickly added “I’m sorry, but curves are sexy, sticks aren’t”
“You know she’s dating Jack Harlow, right?” the other interviewer commented.
“Is she?” she asked followed by laughing again. “No, I didn’t know. I thought he was more into women who had something to grab onto…..Good for her I guess”
“Well, back to your collab with Fashion Nova…”
It wasn’t long before Y/N found herself tagged in a bunch of posts regarding Hannah Walton’s comments. At first, she was confused, and ultimately, her anxiety was at an all-time high at the thought that she had now become the current laughingstock on social media.
Jack, was set to not be back home until late at night and found himself walking through their shared apartment front door at 1 pm, which took Y/N by surprise.
Y/N and Jack have been dating more a little more than a year now, and even though they were private about their relationship, Jack has made the public and fans know he was in a relationship with Y/N, who was a visual artist. Because of her anxiety, she wasn’t into the idea of being in the public eye, but she wanted to be in a relationship with Jack without feeling he was hiding her. And Jack was supportive of her, which is why since then for the first time he would let it be known he was with Y/N without getting into too many details about her life.
The news of Jack no longer being single came as a shock to everyone, given that to the public, he didn’t seem the type to be in a serious relationship, and with that came a lot of support and some hate.
Jack who was set to not be back from the studio until late at night, found himself walking through the front door of their shared apartment around 1 pm.
“Y/N?” he called out for her.
He could hear in the distance the sound of the tv, and as he approached the living room, he found Y/N wrapped in a throw blanket, lying on the couch scrolling through her phone while the TV played in the distance.
“Hey” he softly said taking a seat by the edge of the couch.
She was currently going through her Tik Tok, attempting to escape all the drama from Twitter, but as soon as she noticed him, she discarded her phone somewhere on the couch smiling at him.
“Hey, I thought you were going to be at the studio for a while”
“I was, but I wanted to check on you” he paused. “Is she the same girl who kept running her mouth about you on Twitter?”
“How did you know about that?”
“Fans kept me posted”
“It’s so embarrassing…” she said looking away.
“You have nothing to be embarrassed about. None of the things she said were true”
“I know, but I just can't deal with the hate…I just don’t know how you do it sometimes”
“Well, it would surprise you to know not all of the comments are hateful”
Y/N looked at him confused.
“See it for yourself” he said as he handed her his phone.
Upon taking a look, she became overwhelmed by all the supportive comments from fans, and other celebrities standing up to her.
Tumblr media
Right in that moment, she felt so grateful for everyone's support, but overall, she felt so loved and appreciated for having Jack by her side and she wouldnt have it any other way.

Of Palaces, Princes and Magic - Thor x (Fem)Reader
Tumblr media
Warnings: Clueless, powerless Thor from 2011. Tons of fluff
Summary: Wandering arround your home Thor discovers evidence of the fairytale fantasies of your childhood and promises to make your dreams come true.
Note: I wrote this last night on my phone with the last bits of battery I had and post it on the morning from the laptop. There is no editing or proofread.
Tags: @thorsslxve
Allowing a stranger inside your home wasn't your initial intention, but you kept stumbling with him untill you realized he had nowhere else to go. From the barely understandable bits of explanations you got from him, your first guess was that he may have just escaped from a cult, but that didn't make him necesarily dangerous. He was lost, clueless of the world after abandoning the place that was all he ever knew. You did remember him mentioning something over the lines of ' being casted out as a punishment' and that seemed to comfirm your theory. A cult linked to norse mythology, with a leader believing himself to be Odin who had raised him as his son.
Thor lived in a fantasy world and you could tell he was harmless because he never meant to hurt you in any way. He probably required of professional help, but to get there he needed to reach some bassical functionality. If many people would get to hear more of his nonsense, he would end up locked and that possibility saddened you deeply. As far as you could tell, he probably had been physically disconnected from the world all his life already. Besides, it was clear that he trusted you, because the out of place displays of odd arrogance he had with everyone else didn't happen much between you. For you he only had a quirky but lovely chivalry that sometimes was enough to make you live his fantasy for a while.
From all the decorative details in the place, his atention was focused in a miniature replica of Cinderella's castle you had on a table near your bookshelves. A beautifull toy incluiding small figures of characters to habitate it, so delicated and romantic that you kept it as decoration even if you wouldn't play with it anymore like when you were a little girl.
" Do you like it? " You asked him, followed with a sweet smile of encouragement. " It was my favorite growing up ... I'm a grown up woman and I still love it."
The last part of the explanation confused him a bit.
" I don't see why age would fundamentally change your appreciation, it's a fine sculpture of a castle fitting for the aesthetic preferences of a lady."
You couldn't help chuckling a bit, then showed him how to unfold the toy in order to see the inside and put it all back in.
" It's a toy, for little girls to play with." You corrected him. " Many girls enjoy playing pretend to be princesses as children, but when we reach a certain age we stop thinking of palaces, princes and magic... Unless we are reading a fantasy novel or something like that. It's stuff of tales and Disney movies, not reality."
The answer surprised him even more, but there was some sort of sadness in it. Pretty much as if he took pitty on the fact.
" Are people like me casted out to remain only in the literature of this realm?" He asked, with genuine curiosity. " Which tale does this castle tells? If there is any, as your words suggest."
Even in the simplest of details, the conversations with him allways felt like the dialogue of a fairytale.
" If someone would tell me that you have came out from the pages of a fantasy book, I would believe it."
" Yet you can't believe that Asgard is my homeland." He mocked you in return. " I'll convince you, all your doubts will be clarified once I will have my mighty power back."
You didn't argue with him, there was no need at the moment.
" Alright, your highness ... Do you still want me to tell you the tale?"
Thor smiled in agreement and you began to narrate using the playset castle as a visual guide. The fact that a grown man was just being introduced to the tale of Cinderella felt quite odd, but very cute. He was particularly intrigued with the fact that the King found no issue on letting his son marry a servant that presented herself to him magically disguised just because she was the owner of the crystal shoe.
" ... Even if she was the rightfull heir of the household, her stepmother made her a slave and that's a downgrade that should have disqualified her at the eyes of the King. How could the prince convince him of blessing that union? "
He was taking the story seriously and it was hard to provide answers in that perspective.
" I guess he simply indulged his son and let him marry the woman he loved. Prince Charming fell for Cinderella at the Royal Ball, he had no idea of who she was back then. The girl was a princess in spirit and maybe the King saw that, the crystal shoe proved her worthy of the prince."
For some reason, your answer made him smile a bight brighter than before.
" I believe you are a princess in spirit. " Thor sweetly confessed. " ... and a magnificent storyteller."
His pure cuteness was too much for you and behind your own smile heat has started to take over your face.
" Me, a princess? Please! You don't have to flatter me for hospitality. I haven't wore a tiara since I was eight."
Thor looked at the little figures of Cinderella and Prince Charming in their miniature balcony, then glanced back at you as if a new strange idea had just occured to him.
" What if you could experience what's like to be a princess? Would you believe me then?" He asked you out of sudden. " Not only about Asgard, but about my very sincere perceptions of you."
You began to wonder if the last part was some sort of romantical approach and were quite confused about that. He was very sweet and you loved his company. It could be said that you fancied him too, but encouraging him would be taking advantage of the strange situation and you would never do that.
" It's allright, Thor. I'm fine just like this. We are friends, you can help me arround ... "
" I insist, that's how I will repay you for all the troubles I have caused. " He cutted you off with determination. " I will take you to a real Royal Ball."
He sounded so serious about it that you began to question your own sanity.
" The noblefolk would be judging, It's a bad idea. "
" They will see you like I do." He optimistically replicated. " Your looks will reflect your royal spirit and you will not have to flee at midnight. If that's your desire, you will get to dance with a real prince ... Maybe two, if Loki also requires it. Ask him nicely and we may convince him of hexing your shoes to look as if made of crystal."
You giggled out of a pure,sweet surprise while hearing the details of the fantasy he was almost roping you in.
" That's very sweet. You are the sweetest man I have ever known."
You were gazing into each other's eyes when he formalized the promise.
"Currently less than what you deserve, but I will fix that soon. I will be back to my former glory, I will be worthy of you and In honor of your infinite kindness and patience, I shall make your dreams come true. "

Tumblr media
Characters: Hu Tao x GN!Reader.
Warnings: None, all fluff!
Notes: Thank you for the request! Any opportunity to write the gremlin is a good one. I hope you enjoy :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hu Tao would suggest going to a peaceful and quiet spot for the first date, like a beautiful garden or a serene riverside, where you can feel more at ease around her. She knows you want this first date with her and she wants it too, that’s why she will try extra hard to make everything as comfortable for you as possible. She wants to get to know the real you, not the nervous version of you!
You would feel nervous and unsure at first when you arrive, but Hu Tao's playful and quirky personality will certainly help you relax and gradually open up to her. She will try to be her cheerful self around you to show you there’s nothing to worry about, you can be your true self around her too!
Hu Tao notices that you’re feeling insecure and tries to make you feel comfortable as well by sharing her own embarrassing stories and awkward moments. She wants you to feel like there’s nothing to be embarrassed about when you’re with her, she’ll gladly share her intimate stories so you two can have a laugh together and loosen the mood.
During the date, Hu Tao surprises you with little gifts and trinkets she picked up on her adventures, like pretty flowers, especially beautiful rocks or flashy bugs, if you’ve mentioned you like them. She wants to show you that she's thoughtful and attentive to things you might like, too.
She plans different fun activities to do together, like scavenger hunts or stargazing. She makes these fun plans that help you focus on the shared experiences with her rather than your own insecurities. If you’re too busy having fun, you won’t feel nervous!
Hu Tao compliments you sincerely, highlighting your unique qualities and making you feel appreciated and valued. She loves gushing about you! Give her the opportunity and she will start mentioning all the little things she likes about you. That may be a little embarrassing to you, but she’s having a good time. She just wants you to know how much of you there is to love.
As the date goes on, you will start to feel more confident around her, thanks to Hu Tao's constant encouraging and uplifting words. She lets you know how well you’re doing, listening intently to you when you tell a story and encouraging you to go on.
At some point, you start talking about the passions or hobbies you two have in common, or maybe things that you alone like, and Hu Tao genuinely shows interest and asks questions to you, showing that she cares about getting to know you better in however way you want her to.
Towards the end of the date, Hu Tao surprises you with a heartfelt poem she composed on the spot while comfortably being with you. She wants you to know she enjoyed spending time with you, and what better way to express such a lovely sentiment than with a poem, right?
As you say goodbye for the night, Hu Tao assures you that she had a fantastic time and would love to go on another date with you, leaving you with a sense of happiness and confidence that you didn’t have before. She makes sure to leave you home happy that you’ve spent time with her, and she would love to see you again too. What do you say?

2023 drama roundup
Unchained Love: I still hum the unhinged flute intro on a regular basis, easily my fave intro of 2023! I didn't actually finish the show due to dwindling interest, but for the first 14 episodes or so I took a keen pleasure in it (and it made me go on a eunuch webnovel spree, expertly curated by @mercipourleslivres). I love it when heroines are allowed to be truly funny, rather than just quirky or ditzy. Also appreciate the goofy Lamp Prince turning into a brutal incel tyrant the moment he got power.
Six Flying Dragons: I don't think I can write anything succinct enough for the roundup format so I direct you to my "my sfd tag" if you want to access my enthused livetweeting. Show of all times, lives were changed.
Tree with Deep Roots: I literally can't think of a better topic for a tv show than Sejong the Great constructing hangul together with his band of nerds, one of whom he has a weirdly intense, vaguely erotic relationship with. Han Suk-kyu carried this entire show on his trembling shoulders. What an actor! What range!!! It was such a treat to watch him smugly debate his ministers, roleplay a farmer, and hiss half-mad soliloquies to himself in the dark. It took nuance and depth to portray the kind of inner conflicts and generational trauma that Sejong battles in the background of this drama. To be honest I didn't always enjoy the Milbon subplot which I felt got repetitive, and often found myself wanting to fast-forward the wuxia scenes. In a better world the show would have centered the whip-smart palace maids and their alphabet workshops. But I will definitely rewatch this soon. And maybe also write a fix-it where Sejong and Soo-yi fuck idk.
Quartet: Cute little murder mystery about a found family of freaks, liked it a lot.
My Country: The New Age: As entertaining as ever. Very fun to rewatch this back to back with Tree with Deep Roots, since Jang Hyuk plays diametrically opposite characters with the same vigor and commitment.
Gone with the Rain: Sometimes you watch something which you understand is technically a masterpiece but it doesn't do anything for you, and sometimes you watch a piece of campy silly fun and it makes you tingle with joy. This was the latter category for me. I liked the first and middle parts enough to make up for the lukewarm fizzle of an ending.
The Autumn Ballad: Has some fucked up elements that are difficult to stomach, but the parts that are good are really good.
Not Others: Bingeable! But imo they could have cut out the stalker/murder cases and just focused on the excellent family drama.
The Matchmakers: This surprisingly swooped in towards the end of the year as my favorite comedy of 2023, all thanks to a rec by @haraxvati. I adore Cho Yi-hyun in this role!!! She is so hot as a shrewd matchmaker with a fake mole and a twinkle in her eye. Love the virgin prince with his yearning-induced panic attacks (Rowoon didn't work for me in The King's Affection in a quite similar role, but he's so much weirder and lamer here, which is something I like in a man). I am obsessed with the side plot of the crossdressing romance novelist and the solemn police officer who is trying to capture her and ends up giving her free home renovations and smouldering looks instead. Also, Park Ji-Young and Lee Hae-Young are two of my favorite villain actors on their own, and here they are married!! Still have a few episodes to go, but I intend to binge them as soon as I post this.
Dramas I dropped or paused:
Our Blossoming Youth: I shipped the heroine and her cute maidservant a little too much to bear the dull prince they stuck her with. But I might rewatch it some day bc I want to write a Sherlock Holmes fic for the girls.
Little Women: A real disappointment, because I love Louisa May Alcott and I love Jeong Seo-kyeong. Once again, letting the women kiss might have solved much of it.
Island: Casting Kim Nam-gil as an expressionless cool-guy action hero offends me personally. (Yes Song of the Bandits I'm giving you the stinky eye also.) But Lee Da-hee and Cha Eun-woo were delightful!
See you in my 19th life: I couldn't, even for my most darling Shin Hye-sun, go beyond episode 1. There's something about a kid dating another kid even though she's a literal adult inside her brain that I can't really vibe with.
My Dearest: I do intend to finish this, but I lost the thread after the first half. It got a little too dark for me I think.

The Mask & The Mirror [Chapter One]
Tumblr media
Explicit | Enemies to Lovers | Multi-Chapter | Contains BG3 Spoilers
Pairing: Ascended!Astarion x Original Female Character
Chapter Warning(s): Near Death Experience, Grief/Angst, Vaguely Implied Trauma, My rusty ass writing skills (yikes - sorry, kids)
Word Count: 2.4K
Tumblr media
A piercing numbness radiated throughout the Drow's flesh, burrowing deep and festering into a white-hot, blistering agony within her chest. She’d have loved to have been able to say that this had all come as a rather nasty surprise, but sadly…she had always known that this day would come. It was inevitable. ‘You reap what you sow’ or something…isn’t that what they like to say? Even still, she held onto the hope that death would find her quickly – after everything that she had endured, she figured that she had earned that small mercy, at least.
Unfortunately, the Gods thought different.
A sickening, wet heat poured from her wound; the deep red essence of her life escaping into the frigid night before the arms that bound her lifted her small frame up and over the edge of creaking, wooden vessel.
This was it. This would be her end.
She had no choice but to accept it. There simply was no more fight left in her.
She tried briefly to convince herself that it was better this way, but as the incredible weight of mortality finally settled upon her, a torrent of regret surged forth from deep within. Time distorted around her, rushing by far too quickly for her to comprehend yet unmoving all at the same time. In the quiet moments between shallow breaths, her eyelids fell, allowing the few instances of happiness that she had managed to carve out for herself on this wretched planet to play against them. A beautiful reflection on the tapestry of connections woven throughout her woefully short life.
A quirky little genius of a gnome with wild brown hair tied back with a rich blue ribbon – her rose-colored cheeks and button nose twisting up as a mischievous smirk played across her lips. Beside her, a lanky and vexatious human girl – her large, emerald eyes all but entirely obscured by the mess of inky black tresses that framed her pale face as she tried, and failed, to sneak some food from a neighboring table into her pack.
Grief unfurled like a heavy fog, obscuring the joyous moments that she had shared with her friends. No - her family. Faces and laughter flickered before her mind's eye, the echoes of missed opportunities rang loudly in her ears. The warmth of shared smiles, the comfort of shared silence — treasures that she had neglected to wholly appreciate in life, now slipping through her fingers.
"I should have loved you loudly…" she cursed herself silently, guilt hanging heavily in the stillness of her mind. The cadence of "I love you" had gone entirely unspoken - a melody lost in the symphony of days gone by. Those simple words, once feeling cumbersome and unnecessary to the elf, somehow now seemed to dangle like precious gems just out of her reach.
A cruel longing gripped her heart like a vise – she wished for the chance to turn back the hands of time, to go back and embrace her friends with a sincerity she hadn't fully realized that she possessed. The moments that seemed inconsequential at the time continued to play out before her, both comforting and excruciatingly painful.
As her life started to fade, the shades of her emotions seemed to blend into a palette of unspoken sentiments. Her gratitude mingled with the sorrow of what could have been. Yet, despite the overwhelming regret that had taken hold of her, a flicker of acceptance emerged. It was little more than a resolve to appreciate the few fleeting moments that she had left. In the twilight of her existence, a soft smile spread across her lips as she clung onto the hope that, somehow, the echoes of her unspoken adoration would reach those she cherished most, carrying with them the essence of a heart that longed to be remembered and the love that time, in its relentless march, could never hope to extinguish. She held onto the memory of their faces, their laughter for as long as she could, before her body crashed into the freezing depths below, the rolling black waves entombing the elf as her world faded.
Dawn was just beginning to break as Yuri opened her eyes, the gentle sound of lapping waves against the shore pulling her from unconsciousness. Blinking several times to clear her vision, her eyes fluttered open yet again to be greeted by the soft, diffused light of the sun as it peeked above the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange. She struggled to push herself up into a seated position, her trembling hands scrambling against the pebbled beach, her ruined clothes completely drenched and clinging to her skin as she surveyed the unfamiliar landscape.
Tumblr media
The rhythmic sound of the water sloshing around and misting her battered body was oddly soothing as a gentle breeze carrying the scent of salt and seaweed greeted her. The air tasted fresh, sweet even - a stark contrast to the murky memories of the turbulent waters that had cast her ashore.
A shiver wracked through her, a mixture of cold and uncertainty, as she continued to take in the expanse of the small patch of shoreline stretching in either direction – distant cliffs and trees framed the scene, yet a magnificent city stood within sight. Less than a day's journey, she suspected, though she knew that she was hardly in any condition to travel.
A raven cried out overhead, briefly disrupting the coastal symphony.
In the relative quiet of the early morning, Yuri noted the muffled but distinct crunch of footsteps against the stone-ridden sand that stretched out before her. Turning her gaze toward the source of the sound and squinting against the sunlight, she watched as a dark figure approached cautiously. Silhouetted against the morning glow, the stranger's movements were graceful and deliberate – she cursed under her breath, not entirely certain whether this individual was friend or foe; she was, at least, astute enough to recognize that whoever they were, they were very much aware of her presence.
Her heart quickened as the footsteps drew closer, the anticipation of the unknown clashed with the relief of having somehow survived the tumultuous sea. She attempted to rise to her feet, but her legs were far too weak, and she fell back onto the unwelcoming shore, slicing her hand on an exceptionally pointed rock in the process. She let out an aggravated hiss before again fixing her eyes on the approaching shadow.
It was a man. Nobility, by the look of him. A fair-skinned high-elf with a mess of silver, windswept hair, dark, almond-shaped eyes, and sharp features. His expression was hard and unreadable as he came to a stop before her. The air seemed to crackle with some unspoken threat as his vermillion eyes bore into her lavender from above.
Odd. She couldn’t recall having seen that particular color outside of the Underdark.
The man’s nostrils flared as he closed his eyes but for a moment, inhaling deeply as if the brisk sea air were a favored perfume. An almost imperceptibly low growl of satisfaction rumbled in his chest as he released his breath, his gaze returning to the unlucky woman at his feet.
"Well, well, well...aren't you just a delicious little surprise?" His voice came out as a purr that blended a strange playfulness with a subtle, menacing undercurrent.
Yuri’s pulse quickened, a dreadful knot twisting in her stomach. His voice dripped with a wicked charm, his eyes glittering mischievously as though he were reveling in her confusion and anxiety. She felt compelled to spit in this man’s face and offer him some rather choice words, but the opportunity was swiftly taken from her, for once again, she found her world disappearing behind an endless veil of black.
Yuri’s consciousness flickered in and out, like a lantern left out in a storm. Each time she would begin to rouse, she fought desperately against the relentless void that sought to capture her, only to lose herself once more. This went on for what felt like an eternity before she at last found the fortitude to reclaim sentience. Blinking a couple of times as her eyes adjusted to her new surroundings, her delicate features furrowed at the unfamiliar space she now occupied. The room was quite small, the floor and walls both constructed from somewhat unrefined, matching stone. The air had a musty, stale quality and held an eerie chill. Aside from herself, the space appeared to be virtually empty save for a tattered scrap of fabric that separated her body from the stone beneath and a singular torch affixed to the wall beside a heavy, wooden door.
Tumblr media
Gently shaking her head, the petite elf tried to piece together the events leading to her current predicament. She could recall washing ashore and a stranger approaching her, but beyond that, there was nothing. Determined to make sense of her situation, she pushed herself up and took a moment to assess herself, running her hands over her slender frame to check for injuries. To her shock, she found no wounds. Not a single one.
Curious.
Continuing her evaluation, Yuri’s fingers moved to pat down the fabric of her clothes, searching for familiar items. Nothing. Of course, her belongings were missing. A spark of annoyance ignited within her, but she stifled it, correcting herself silently. She needed to focus on the task at hand – getting the fuck out of this place. With a deep breath, she began to scan the room, her tired limbs somehow managing to carry her gracefully as she went.
As she suspected, the room was about as barren as it had looked at first glance, offering no clues about her location. The single door was regrettably the only viable entrance or exit, and it was very much locked. Her pointed ears twitched as they caught the distant echoes of unknown voices beyond the thick walls of her confines. She tried her best to still her breathing and focus on the sound, but it was too far away and faded too quickly for her to glean anything of use.
After a thorough search, the only thing that Yuri had been able to scrounge up was an old, somewhat rusted hair clip. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to spark a glimmer of hope in her eyes as she picked it up. Turning the object over in her hands, she examined the delicate craftsmanship, and although she wasn’t terribly confident it would hold up to the task that she had in mind, she decided to proceed with repurposing the accessory.
Taking a seat on the floor, she started to twist and bend the hair clip, sculpting it into a crude lockpick. The process required quite a lot of patience, something that luckily, the Drow had in spades after her years of looking after her often rambunctious companions. As the tool took shape in her hands, she couldn't help but wonder what would be waiting for her on the other side of that door. She figured that it did not matter much, ultimately. She needed to get back to her family and she was not about to wait around and hope for a miracle.
Rising to her feet once more, Yuri approached the door and began working to release the lock. The flame of the torch continued to dance against the walls, bathing the room in hues of amber and gold, highlighting the strands of silvery hair that framed her face as she focused intently on the mechanism, attempting to coax it open with the improvised tool.
Her keen senses were heightened, attuned to every subtle nuance in the air, searching for any indication that she was making progress. The room was heavy with a strange tension, the space itself seeming to hold its breath as she wrestled with the stubborn lock. It was proving to be quite unyielding, however, and frustration was quickly beginning to etch lines across her delicate features.
It was then, amid her struggle, that a soft whisper grazed her pointed ear, sending a shiver down her spine. The voice, mocking and sly, seemed to materialize in the stillness around her.
"Having trouble, are we?" it murmured - the stranger's tone laced with amusement.
Startled, she whipped her head around and scanned the room, searching for the source of the unexpected interruption. The voice lingered in the air, just beyond her perception. With narrowed eyes, she turned back and continued working, refusing to be swayed by the unseen presence.
The man chuckled, sending echoes resonating in the confined space.
"Quite a tenacious little thing, I see. And yet…here you are, reduced to fumbling with a hair clip in the dark. How utterly tragic."
Undeterred, she shot a defiant glance over her shoulder, her eyes sifting through the shadows once more.
"Who are you?" she inquired, her voice quiet yet stern.
Yet another irritating chuckle reverberated off the stone walls as a figure began to take shape in the far corner, seemingly materializing out of the shadows themselves.
"Oh, just a spectator, my dear. Do carry on with your endeavors, it is quite entertaining,” The man smirked, pristine white teeth glinting in the faint firelight.
Drawing in a deep breath, Yuri released her hold on the useless tool, allowing it to clatter against the hard floor below. Slowly, she rose to full height and turned her body to face the stranger. He was close – far closer than he had sounded moments ago, and yet she had heard nothing. No foot falls. No telltale swoosh of fabric disturbing the air. It took everything in her not to react to the sudden change in proximity, yet there was a smug sense of knowing in his crimson eyes that told her that somehow, he could sense her discomfort all the same.
“I’m not overly fond of entertaining strange men, if it’s all the same to you. So, I’ll ask once more,” the woman spoke, squaring her shoulders, “Who are you?”
The man, unfazed by her small act of defiance, held her gaze with an enigmatic smile.
"Oh darling, you wound me," he replied, his voice carrying a certain charm that danced on the edge of arrogance. "Why, I saved your life - the Raven Bitch nearly had her nasty little claws in you by the time I reached you. You should consider yourself quite fortunate I came along."
Her eyes narrowed; suspicion scrawled across her face.
"Saved me? That’s interesting. I've never known a savior to proceed to imprison their benefactor afterwards."
"A perceptive little thing, I see" he sneered, "True, I will admit, my intentions were not entirely altruistic, but you needn’t worry about that just yet."
The man took a step back, his gaze unwavering.
"My name is Astarion,” he continued, bowing just slightly as he finally revealed his name, “Now…just who might you be?

Characters: Peter Parker, Mary-Jane “MJ” Watson, Harry Osborn, Miles Morales
Type: Headcanons
Synopsis: General headcanons for the main protagonists of Insomniac’s Spider Man 2 on PS5.
Warnings: probs some cursing somewhere, and ofc spoilers for the spiderman 2 game! You’ve been warned!!!
A/N: This game is definitely up there as one of the best games I’ve seen/played in 2023, so it wouldn’t be right for me to go into 2024 and still not have much written for it; so I’m correcting that! Take this as a spoiler for those who have not finished playing the game/watching a full gameplay of it to the end.

Peter Parker
Oh poor Peter, he’s just got so much going on. With Aunt May and the house, him tryna find a stable job, his relationship with MJ, and now prioritizing his friendship with Harry, he’s being pulled in so many different directions it’s honestly dizzying!
There’s so much going on in his life that I wouldn’t be too surprised if he developed some anxiety around it. Like we know Peter for being this quirky, goofy kid who’s got hella jokes and can rock your ass in a science test, but when he’s alone, the turbulence of his life gets to him a little. And it’s not like he can let anyone really know - he’s Spiderman for crying out loud! If he goes down, who knows how the rest will take it.
And of course the Venom Symbiote doesn't make things any better - Pete’s whole acting like an ass thing wasn’t intentional by no means necessary, but I think that would also play into his anxiety as well. He doesn’t want to ever hurt his friends the way he did with that symbiote in him - they’re the last thing he has.
On a completely not depressing note, I feel like having the house to himself gives Peter the opportunity to really figure out his own aesthetic. Sure, he’s the cute nerdy heartthrob guy, but he wants to expand himself! I feel like he wouldn’t be into the super modern high tech home decor that’s been sweeping through every interior designers palette - I see him as a mix of warm country house vibes (courtesy of Aunt May), with a hint of the technological advantages that he’d implement into certain appliances and spaces (*coughcough* at home lab *coughcough*) and a finishing touch of midcentury modern for a pop of color….it won’t stop him from being a bit of a slob though unfortunately.
Tumblr media
Mary-Jane “MJ” Watson
If i were her I’d be one critique away from giving Mr. J.J.Jameson a taste of his own desk, because oh my god the self-centeredness he possesses makes me want to vomit. But it’s a good thing I’m not, and our darling redhead angel has enough patience to deal with him for the sake of a bag - I applaud her for that.
I know a lot of people don’t like the MJ segments in the game but i actually appreciate them! Shows that she’s not just a pretty face that Pete falls in love with you know? And I like to think she actually likes the moments she gets to take down the Hunters because it makes her feel like a badass - which she totally is!
As a destresser from being a prime member of the Spider Team (yes, I’m claiming them as the Spider Team since Spider Squad is already taken) and her journalism job, I’d like to think she’s into something so niche like jewelry making - specifically little charm bracelets that she gifts to the others. Yknow, on some ‘friendship lasts forever’ type shit.
Also in her freetime she has writing projects on the side that she wouldn’t consider viable enough to send in as a story, but just fun little stories she’ll write for the hell of it. There’s nothing too specific about them, but they also serve as a way to track how her writing is progressing, and she’s in a group of beta readers of sorts that give her feedback on how much better she’s getting.
Another poor boy that just has way too much on his hands, good lord. Granted, I never saw the hype around Harry, but I think after this adaptation of him I might be warming up to him a little bit.
Tumblr media
Harry Osborn
Getting on the bandwagon of adopting new hobbies, I see Harry as getting into drawing, especially during the period in which he doesn’t have the suit. Since his health is deteriorating and he isn’t able to be as mobile as he would like, he needs something to keep his mind and hands busy. And drawing does the trick for him. He starts off with just basic drawings like items in his room, but he advances very quickly and starts drawing portraits of himself and MJ, who spends a lot of time taking care of him. He symbalso sketches a picture of him and Peter when they were in highschool over and over again, especially when he runs out of muses.
Harry also spends a lot of his time thinking. Thinking about his life thus far, his friends, the legacy he wants to leave behind. He doesn’t just want his last name attached to something to make it great - he wants to earn his keep and his place in society. It was the whole reason he started the Emily-May Foundation; it would have been his mark on the world, and yet, here he was, tied down to his bed once again. Then again, who knows if the symbiote would have done the same to himself, had he let his own convictions get too far?
Considering what happens at the end of the game, though, I suppose we won’t ever know…until the next installment that is.
Tumblr media
Miles Morales
Why are there so many poor boys in this game? Like I got enough sympathy to go around but Jesus save these guys!!!
He is a HEAVY romantic, especially when it comes to Hailey (so so SO happy he got his girl in the end was rooting for them so hard in his game). He plans their dates according to the mode and vibe of the day, whatever the two are feeling, whatever is mentioned in fleeting conversations, etc. He’s in love and proud of it!
He’s getting better at dividing up the attention to the important people in his life, as well as school and his Spiderman duties. Sundays are for him and his mom to lounge in their pajamas and catch up with each other on the weeks events; he hangs with Ganke throughout the week and sometimes goes out with him to science expo’s every now and then. He’ll pop up on Hailey whenever she’s in the neighborhood and just sits and chills with her (and if she’s working on a street piece, even better! He’s her no. 1 supporter!)
He, Peter and Ganke get into rubix cubes competitions to see who can complete the rubix cube the fastest. Right now Ganke is ranked number one and Peter and Miles are tied for second place, but they’re getting another, more difficult cube to compete again soon.
He’s got a big heart, and knowing the effects of everything that’s happened with Harry, Miles makes it a point to check in with Peter every now and then. He’s lowkey worried that if the older Spiderman’s worry for his best friend doesn’t do him in, then somehow the effects of the Venom symbiote on Peter’s psyche will turn him cold again, and that doesn’t end well at all. He does this well with MJ, and they talk frequently on how they can be better support for Pete and Harry in the aftermath of everything that’s happened.

Can I please request the demon brothers' and undateables' reactions when they find out MC has a tattoo?
The Brothers and Nowdateables reacting to an MC with a tattoo
------------------------------------------------------
I have a few angsty/comfort requests that are gonna take a while to finish so now I'm taking a break by writing slightly shorter HCs of the brothers and nowdateables, I've had these asks sitting in my inbox for so long-I am genuinely sorry ;-;
Characters: Lucifer, Mammon, Levi, Satan, Asmo, Beel, Belphie, Diavolo, Barbatos, Simeon, Solomon, Luke
Warnings: Just mild cursing
------------------------------------------------------
Lucifer:
-Lucifer feels pretty neutral about tattoos in general
-Since they have been popular for a long time now, it wouldn’t be his first time seeing a human with a tattoo and honestly has no impact on him at the beginning of the programme because it’s just a quirky human thing y’know
-Demons can technically get tattoos but there is no point since many of them can shapeshift anyway and their human forms can have any number of oddities such as piercings or tattoos
-It's mostly a human thing, turns out we started the whole 'injecting ourselves with ink to see how it goes' trend and kinda ran for the fields with it-demons and angels don't really see the appeal
-Once he warms up to you, if you explain the reasoning or meaning behind it (whether you had it in memory of someone or just because you liked the design) he might actually appreciate it a bit more
-At the end of the day, he thinks it adds to your character and it also indirectly tells him something about you in general, which is a subject he is more than just a little interested in
-He doesn't understand it but he thinks it looks good on you and if you like it then who is he to judge?
Mammon:
-Honestly, he thinks it's one of the coolest things about you, even though he'd drop dead before admitting this to your face
-Even if it's a really simple, small tattoo he's going to internally fawn over it because, in his eyes, it makes you look badass af
-Lowkey offended you've been hiding this from him for so long
-Actually, you might just persuade him to get one himself and knowing him, he would totally go over the top with it
-I mean, think about it, if he hasn't already Mammon is definitely the type of person to get sleeves of tattoos and look hot whilst doing it
-100% would get matching tattoos with you, would not even hesitate and it seems like a good idea except you'd inflate his head bigger than it already is so-
-Is a dumbass and would probably try to colour in the tattoos if they are accessible to him at any given moment and he happens to have sharpies on him
Levi:
-You know, funnily enough, I think Levi would look really good with tattoos, especially if he got some that were related to either his sin or water
-But an MC with a tattoo would absolutely amaze him since it definitely gives off protagonist vibes and he will probably find a way to relate you back to almost every anime he's ever watched that happened to have a character with a tattoo in it
-Honestly, he'd be more than willing to listen to you about the meaning or origin behind your tattoo/s if you feel like disclosing it to him (or if there is a meaning) since you often listen to his rants without a second thought and he wants to return the favour
-Actually, you might encourage him enough to get his own
-But I wouldn't count on it for the foreseeable future, he was kind of put off by what sounds like a painful procedure and thought of his brothers never letting him hear the end of it
-Also, he is part of the military and I like to think that, for disciplinary reasons, members might have a strict dress code (then again they are demons so probably not)
-Either way, he likes tattoos and even though he gets a tad too excited when you start telling him about your own and might ask some personal questions, he has good intentions
Satan:
-Kinda in the same boat as Lucifer though don’t tell him I said that
-He has many human acquaintances and seems to be on good terms with many of them so it’s more than likely he has met several people with tattoos in the past
-He didn’t expect you to have any, naturally but when he finds out about it, he’s pretty chill though he might try to make small talk and ask what it symbolises, etc.
-Sometimes, if you’re sitting close to him whilst reading or something, and your tattoo is accessible (like on your forearm) then he might trace it with his own hand absentmindedly
-Weirdly enough, I also think he’d like seeing his pact mark somewhere near your tattoo-there’s no real reason for this I just thought he’d be into that
-I think maybe sometimes he uses the physical appearance of someone to judge and analyse them as if he was Sherlock Holmes so that might happen during your first couple of days in Devildom 😭😭
-Other than that, he doesn’t think about it or bring it up all that much. He’s usually too distracted by your annoyingly attractive face y’know
Asmo:
-You already know where I’m going with this one
-There’s no way in Hell that Asmo is not the type to flirt and use your tattoos as a reason for that
-This might not sound right but, like Mammon, I also think he’d have a tattoo if possible though definitely not whole sleeves. More like small tattoos on his ankles or wrists
-He would definitely get tattoos for the aesthetic rather than the actual meaning behind it because he wants to look good for his Devilgram story and the tattoo needs to fit whatever theme he’s obsessed with
-But when it comes to you, no matter what tattoo or how big or small it is, he immediately finds it endearing
-Whilst his brothers are mostly in the neutral zone about this kinda thing I feel like Asmo would 100% encourage and support you getting one even if you don’t have one already
-And then obviously, all further shopping trips and the type of clothes he’s gonna get you will be altered with the tattoos in mind in order to show them off as often as possible
Beel:
-I just hope you don’t have a tattoo of a certain type of food anywhere on your body because that might trigger him
-Especially at the beginning, he’s already watering at the thought of eating you so a tattoo of a burger or something would not help
-Otherwise, he also sort of falls in the neutral category when it comes to tattoos
-After all, he didn’t start hanging out with you because of your accessories, regardless of how cool they are
-Then again, he is interested in you and therefore, once you’re more comfortable with each other, I see him as the type to ask quiet but sweet questions about any tattoos you might have
-Like he might talk about his past and then conversation may lead to you getting that tattoo in the past for whatever reason
-Just really little things that he’ll remember and then surprise you with next time you talk
-Also, he’d be hesitant to get one himself but he’d look good with it. Like really good. Just wanted to point that out
Belphie:
-He sort of hated it at the beginning but that’s only because he hated you 💀
-Once he stops acting like a little bitch he becomes a lot more neutral about it
-Or at least he says he’s indifferent towards it but you’re starting to think he’s lying because every time he falls asleep now, his head happens to lean against your tattoo
-He still likes his pact mark better
-I like to think that Belphie would also look good with tattoos but I really don’t think he’d get any just because he couldn’t be bothered
-If you like talking about yours though, he encourages it because your voice whilst you speak about anything but especially if it’s about you puts him to sleep like nothing else (in a good way, he loves it)
-Might also have tried to colour your tattoo in but not because he’s an idiot. He’s just a mischievous little shit
Diavolo:
-Naturally, he assumes it’s part of human culture and will be as interested in it as every other aspect regarding you
-In fact, you could probably feel him marvel at your tattoo from miles away and he always compliments it if he happens to pass you by in the corridors
-Though he was definitely confused about it when he first learned tattoos were a thing, he didn’t really get it but it doesn’t matter!
-He would sympathise if he learned that getting one hurts quite a bit but eventually he’d convince himself he’d want to get one himself
-And he’s dead serious about it too but thankfully Barbatos puts a stop to it by reminding him that maybe the future ruler of Devildom shouldn’t go too crazy with tattoos
-He might get small ones to match with yours but either way he will be fascinated by the meaning behind yours (if there is one)
-I’d see him as the type to also trace it with his hands but out of curiosity on how it feels more than anything and he always asks first cuz polite prince things yk
Barbatos:
-He gives off this air of aloofness which you interpret as disinterest when in reality it’s politeness that is holding him back from asking you about it
-Of course, unless you bring the conversation to focusing on your tattoo, he feels he has no right to comment (this tbh would include stuff like dyed hair, piercings, etc.)
-And obviously, being the mysterious butler he is, he’d much rather hear you talk about yourself so the meaning behind your tattoo is a perfect example of leading the spotlight away from him
-Still, he can’t say he doesn’t find your tattoo/s endearing but I believe that is simply because he finds all of you endearing so eh
-Though you noticed that whenever your tattoo is on display in public he does tend to stare at it sometimes when he is not need by Lord Diavolo
-He’d also be the type to trace it, I think. It feels like it would relax him or something idk, maybe I’m pulling at straws here
-He’s probably not overly fond of tattoos in general but honestly you rock everything you wear and that includes tattoos so he’s not complaining
Solomon:
-He’s just annoying bruh
-Like, he does not understand personal space (something that even Mammon has understood to an extent) and will ask as many personal questions as possible within a 60 second interval
-Obviously he backs off and apologises if he makes you uncomfortable but he does the thing where he clearly stares at something without saying anything
-And you have to ask if he wants something and then he goes “How long have you had this tattoo for?” Or something similar to that
-And that’s another thing-the questions he asks about it are so bloody random. Like “What nationality was your tattooist?” And “What was the weather like when you got it” which is just weird
-I think he’d have a couple of tattoos of his own but I don’t think you’d be able to tell them apart from the dozens of pact marks he has with other demons
-He won’t talk about his but if you’re willing to talk about yours without shutting him down then he’s all ears
Simeon:
-See I’m conflicted about this
-Because as an angel, I don’t think he’d be particularly supportive of tattoos mostly because he would maybe think that they are staining your beautiful skin or something
-But on the other hand, he’s down bad for you and for some reason, tattoos look a lot better on you than they do on others he’s seen
-Of course, he’s very complimentary when he first met you about it and asked small, polite questions but never intruded unlike a certain someone *coUGH COuGH-solomon-COUgh*
-Once the two of you grow closer, his curiosity might might get the better of him and he would feel more comfortable talking about stuff like that in general
-It was kind of a big thing about you at first but the more time he spends in your presence, the more accustomed he gets to it-meaning it no longer stands out to him all that much
-Will probably stare as well but unlike that embarrassing sorcerer, he actually would get pretty flustered about it
Luke:
-He’s never seen a tattoo in his life
-He’s quite young and hasn’t had many interactions with humans before ok, give him a break
-You were the first person with a tattoo he’s ever met and he is confused beyond measurement
-“Simeon why does the human exchange student have drawings on their skin?”
-He doesn’t want to be rude obviously but he questions it the same way most children would 😭😭😭
-He doesn’t think it’s bad or anything but it’s kinda like tasting a new type of food and trying to decide whether it’s good or not
-He’s very curious about it but Simeon told him not to ask anything personal unless you gave the green light for that to happen
-Obviously his whole reaction would be what you would expect a child’s to be, a lot of staring but it’s not malicious and he’s definitely all about finding out more about it if you’re willing to tell him. He does think they look good on you
